Under Fang Mingda's vehement persuasion, Song Yunting was finally convinced.
"Alright! I'll give you another three months."
If you can't give me some satisfactory progress, then I'll have to consider other methods.
"Thank you, Grandmaster. I will certainly do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
Song Yunting glanced at the others in the hall, and seeing that none of them dared to express their opinions, he waved his hand helplessly.
"Let's disperse!"
The northwest corner of the Heavenly Puppet World is where the Chen Kingdom's military base is located.
Under the leadership of the Demon-Slaying Sword Legion, the Chen Kingdom's army has expanded at an extremely rapid pace, and has now conquered nearly one-tenth of the Heavenly Puppet World.
" A Huo, ever since the Heavenly Puppet Sect started military training, these natives seem to be getting harder and harder to deal with."
Our pace of encroaching on the Heavenly Puppet World is gradually slowing down. I came here to find out if you have any countermeasures in mind.
Li Sifan found A Huo and came over to discuss countermeasures with him.
Li Sifan the current sect leader of the Sword-Questioning Sect, and also the plane master of the Brahma Sword World.
The Sword-Questioning Sect usually keeps a low profile and rarely engages in worldly affairs. It is precisely because of this that Li Sifan has been able to remain in the position of sect leader and has not relinquished it to anyone else.
When A Huo first approached Li Sifan and proposed a collaboration to conquer the Heavenly Puppet World, Li Sifan initially refused. However, A Huo reasoned with him and persuaded him for a long time before he finally agreed to the collaboration.
Once the two planes are connected, it is impossible for either side to separate on its own; they can only separate if both sides are willing to do so.
Therefore, Li Sifan also took a great risk in this war. If he could not defeat the Heavenly Puppet Sect, the Sword-Questioning Sect would be destroyed instead.
"Grandmaster, there's no need to worry. The situation has always been under my control."
The current stagnation of the offensive is merely a ploy to mislead the enemy.
A Huo ordered someone to prepare top-grade spiritual tea for Li Sifan, inviting him to taste it and explaining his plan to him.
"Now that we have established ourselves in the Heavenly Puppet World, and with the entire Chen Kingdom supporting us, taking them down is only a matter of time."
My only concern now is that other dimensions might intervene in this battle. My temporary halt to the offensive is to lull Song Yunting into a false sense of security, lest he act rashly and do something detrimental to both of us.
When Li Sifan heard A Huo say this, he nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that he had also considered these issues.
"But if this drags on, it will also be disadvantageous for us. If they really complete the militarization of their entire population in the future, it will be at least ten times more difficult for us to defeat them."
Although he had never led troops into battle, he was well aware of the difference between regular troops and scattered soldiers.
The reason they were able to turn the tide of the war so quickly was because of the participation of the regular army of the Chen Kingdom. If they had relied on their own disciples from the Sword-Questioning Sect, even if their numbers had been increased tenfold, they might not have been able to fight so smoothly.
"Don't worry, it won't take too long. Our Chen Kingdom never likes to drag things out in war."
A Huo smiled and poured Li Sifan a cup of tea, then reached out and gestured in the air, pulling out a military map.
"Actually, even if you hadn't come to see me, I was planning to go see you these past few days."
In the upcoming battles, I don't intend to proceed gradually; instead, I'll take a risk, and I'll need your help, Sect Leader."
On the military map, the Heavenly Dao Core in the center of the Heavenly Puppet World is very prominent. At this moment, in the northwest corner, dozens of rune warships are marked, their military might pointing towards the Heavenly Dao Core, clearly indicating that they intend to launch an attack here.
"You intend to launch a surprise attack on the Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World?"
Li Sifan immediately understood A Huo's meaning, but he felt that this method was simply not feasible.
With Song Yunting, the master of this plane, around, it's impossible for A Huo to approach the Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World silently.
The area currently being eroded by the Brahma Sword World is still seven or eight thousand miles Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World. Even if the rune warships of the Chen Kingdom are fast, it would still take at least a day to traverse such a distance.
This amount of time was more than enough for Song Yunting to make arrangements at his leisure. By the time they arrived near the Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World, a net had already been laid. No matter how powerful the attacking army was, it would be worn down by the massive number of Heavenly Puppet World natives.
"That's right, I know the sect leader is worried that we'll be discovered by Song Yunting."
But I have found a way to block Song Yunting's senses for a short period of time.
"If you, Sect Leader, help me hold off Song Yunting for a while, I'm over 90% confident I can storm Song Yunting's residence and shatter the Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World."
The Heavenly Dao Core is the foundation for maintaining the operation of the plane. Once the Heart of the Heavenly Puppet World is destroyed, the Heavenly Puppet World will become powerless to resist. At that time, the Brahma Sword World will only need a short time to take control of the Heavenly Puppet World. This is indeed a good way to cut off the source of the problem.
"Shielding the perception of the plane lord?!"
How did you do that? Is it another invention from the Rune Research Institute?
Although A Huo's plan was very appealing, Li Sifan's shock outweighed his joy.
As Chen Kingdom's inventions repeatedly surpassed his understanding, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, wondering how much more Chen Kingdom was hiding behind the scenes.
He Sword-Questioning Sect, which were to pursue the ultimate Sword Dao. He did not like to participate in worldly struggles, and even less so to deal with strategists.
If A Huo hadn't mastered the Sword-Questioning Sect Sect's ultimate technique, the " Justice True Heart Sword," and if Chen Mu hadn't had such a deep connection with Wei Shan, he would never have agreed to cooperate with the Chen Kingdom.
"Yes, the Rune Research Institute has been researching how to invade the Heavenly Dao for more than a decade."
Only in the last two years have they made some progress. Although they are still unable to influence the Heavenly Dao of the Pan Emperor Continent, temporarily influencing the Heavenly Dao of such a lower plane is not a problem.
A Huo nodded in response to Li Sifan, and then, seeing Li Sifan's solemn expression, he sighed softly.
"Grandmaster, I know you don't like war, and actually, neither do A Mu and I."
Our Chen Kingdom has come to this point because of the circumstances; you don't need to overthink it.
A Mu established the Rune Research Institute to protect his people and the common folk, not for the purpose of killing.
Upon hearing A Huo's words, Li Sifan immediately waved his hand and smiled.
"Alright! You don't need to explain to me."
If we successfully annex the Heavenly Puppet World this time, I will be the biggest beneficiary, so I should thank you.
I'll do whatever you say now. Whenever you're ready to act, I'm ready to respond immediately.
"It's expected to take another two months. During this time, we need to build the Rune Core Server. Only with sufficient computing power can we ensure that our operation goes smoothly."
A Huo replied with a smile.
