197: Split one by one!

Lin Ye smiled helplessly, then nodded.

Previously, he had been silently designing dungeons on his own, not paying much attention to many things in this world.

This meeting, however, gave him a clearer understanding of many rules on Azure Star.

Just as Dragon Abyss Commander said, this world revolves around the strong.

Because in a world without weapons, without the smoke of war, the strong ones' dungeons are the best weapons.

Lin Ye's previous two dungeons had already proven his understanding of warfare and his hard power.

He also possessed absolute technological superiority, absolute dungeon design capability, and absolute lethality!

When it came to eliminating people from other Settlements, Lin Ye's efficiency was faster and his combat power stronger, so Great Xia Settlement would naturally make him the tactical core! In other words, this battle should be called the Lin Ye Defense Battle.

It's just that the Great Xia Clan's understanding of warfare was really lacking.

They had passion and a sense of responsibility, but their planning was truly insufficient.

There was no helping it; battles within dungeons were, after all, limited. The scenarios and time were confined to a single segment, leading to humanity's lack of a macroscopic understanding of war. Within the confined space of a dungeon, some things simply couldn't be grasped.

Now, facing eight Settlements simultaneously, it was impossible to disperse their forces as General Li Yunlong suggested; that would only make Great Xia perish faster.

With Great Xia's comprehensive combat power, even a combined resistance might not be enough to hold them off.

"Then let me share my thoughts."

"First, protecting Great Xia's young Designers isn't enough just by giving them points... Great Xia Settlement's point reserve is also limited; too many points cannot be given."

"They will be eliminated, and a lack of points is only one reason, but a bigger reason is the lack of weapons and combat experience. Next, higher-level clansmen should take these lower-level clansmen into the dungeons together to provide protection."

"Instead of waiting to be annihilated, it's better to take the initiative. All clansmen should actively apply to enter dungeons, choosing from these few Settlements."

"Don't choose the easiest ones, because the easiest dungeons are overcrowded. Choose those medium-difficulty dungeons that already have a few successful clear experiences. With high-level Challengers leading, the probability of clearing is very high."

What Lin Ye said was not some profound tactical thinking at all.

Anyone who has played online games knows that this is the traditional mode of 'dungeon-carrying,' a very common thing.

But when the people in the room heard Lin Ye's insights, their eyes widened, and their hair stood on end. They actually felt a sudden enlightenment.

"What a great idea! Retreat to advance! Brilliant, brilliant!"

"This is good. If we organize into proper teams, the survival rate of the entire Settlement forming groups to attack dungeons will indeed be much higher."

"Mr. Lin, truly a genius of war!"

"This way, perhaps young Designers can also earn points in the dungeons. The higher their point reserves, the safer they will be."

Hearing these somewhat awkward compliments, Lin Ye could only sigh inwardly, feeling that it was just forced flattery.

What kind of genius was this...

It was truly unbelievable that after so many years, Azure Star had not even developed gameplay like 'dungeon-carrying' and 'experience farming.'

"What I just talked about was the defensive aspect..." Lin Ye continued. "As for the offensive aspect."

"Don't think about dispersing forces, and don't think about defeating these eight Settlements in one go."

"Not to mention that Great Xia Settlement doesn't have such strength reserves, even if it did, this isn't how you play. These eight Settlements are just the first ones to stick their necks out; whether other Settlements will jump out later is still hard to say."

Lin Ye knew it would be difficult to explain all the tactical theories passed down for thousands of years in his previous life's country to the people of Great Xia Settlement.

Whether it was Sun Tzu's Art of War or the Thirty-Six Stratagems, they were the essence of grand tactics.

In his previous life, major military academies were studying these things and still hadn't fully grasped them, so there was no point in hoping these natives of Azure Star could understand them.

"They are mixed together now, nothing more than for their own interests. Just like the three Settlements that attacked my Winter is Coming dungeon back then."

"Little do they know, each harbors ulterior motives!"

"The so-called 'vertical and horizontal alliances'... To resolve this crisis, we must divide the enemy and make them suspect each other."

While speaking, Lin Ye stood up directly and slowly walked towards the door.

"I will release my new dungeon tomorrow, then deal with the Koreans first... After that, I will defeat these eight Settlements one by one."

"Time is pressing, Dragon Abyss Commander, I apologize, but I cannot stay long."

Lin Ye left the conference room. Dayan Hao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Dragon Abyss Commander's expression and quickly followed him out.

And in the conference room, everyone was in a state of shock.

After a long while, someone finally let out a long sigh of amazement.

"No... No wonder Lin Ye could create such an astonishing dungeon. He not only possesses military technology, but he's also incredibly powerful in terms of tactics!"

"Did you hear? Mr. Lin said he's going to release a new dungeon! How many days has it been? A new dungeon is going to be released already?"

"What did he mean by 'vertical and horizontal alliances' just now? Who understood it?!"

"Even though I don't understand it, it sounds very reasonable."

"Elder Long, what do you think? I think Lin Ye's ideas are very insightful; he's truly amazing."

"..."

Everyone began to discuss very actively, some talking about Lin Ye's tactics, others discussing Lin Ye's dungeon, and finally, all eyes fell on the Settlement Commander, Dragon Abyss Commander.

At this moment, the old man looked greatly relieved, his face full of smiles.

"Didn't I just say it? This battle is led by Lin Ye. Everyone's actions must follow Lin Ye's requirements."

"What Lin Ye just said, everyone should go back and ponder it carefully, then set a concrete plan."

Although on the surface he seemed calm, Dragon Abyss Commander's heart was filled with excitement at this moment.

Heaven bless Great Xia!

With such an unparalleled genius present, the eight Settlements no longer seemed so frightening.

The waves behind push the waves ahead!

Dragon Abyss Commander was very clear that Lin Ye still had a very, very large room for growth.

And he, this old man, finally had the opportunity to retire and enjoy his old age.

He was even planning to hand over the position of Settlement Commander to Lin Ye as soon as this matter was resolved...
