175: Chapter 175 The leaders of the four empires are all in an uproar!
"Commander Lin, what should our next step be?"
After the previous skirmishes, the Blood Moon Empress twins had figured out the bottom line of the Star Sea Raiders.
Although they didn't know exactly how powerful these interstellar pirates were, they were very clear in their hearts.
Behind this group of pirates, there absolutely stood a genuine True God!
Once the True God's true form descended, they would definitely be doomed with no chance of survival.
"Let the water come, and let the earth cover it; let the soldiers come, and let the generals block them. You two should go to the front lines for a few days just to go through the motions."
"If you run into hard cases, call for backup at any time. Remember, survival comes first!"
"In addition, notify the commanders of the Four Great Empires to withdraw all troops from the front lines."
"As for the four Divine Beasts guarding the nations hiding in the back..."
"Don't worry about them. If they want to play dead, let them keep playing dead!"
Lin Feng's face was as calm as water, his mind racing.
If he hadn't run into Helian Jue, he really wouldn't have seen through the hidden schemes of the Main World.
As the Heavenly Dao guardians of the Main World, these four totems had likely sensed the foreign invasion long ago.
Yet, to this day, they were still holed up in their lairs playing dead.
The reason was clear at a glance.
This group of vampires was clearly waiting for the various gods to voluntarily offer up living sacrifices!
If it were anyone else, they might have compromised and admitted defeat by now.
But Lin Feng wouldn't fall for that.
He had absolutely no sense of belonging to the Main World.
The Starry Sky Divine Dragon, worshipped by everyone in the Great Xia Alliance, didn't even amount to a fart in Lin Feng's eyes.
Since even the so-called Heavenly Dao guardians weren't in a hurry to repel the enemy, why should he, Lin Feng, be the one to stick his neck out?
As long as he protected his close friends like Tang You and Gu Ze, what did the life or death of others have to do with him!
Once this batch of fierce beasts like Taotie collectively stepped into the semi-god Realm, below the True God rank, he, Lin Feng, would absolutely steamroll everything!
"But... what about the Blood Moon Empire..."
The Empress's older sister looked troubled.
There were still countless citizens in the Red Sun Empire; did they really have to watch the country get flattened?
"Sister, stop talking."
"I completely trust the Dominator's judgment!"
The younger twin sister shook her head and whispered, "Since the totem Divine Beasts would rather watch us lose our country than show up, why should we bother trying to curry favor with them?"
Just as Lin Feng said, the ones who should be anxious now were the high-and-mighty guardian gods, not them, these Advanced lackeys.
The cost of awakening the Main World's totems was extremely painful, requiring the sacrifice of the true flesh and blood of a ninth-rank god.
In other words, if you wanted the gods to do something for you, you had to sacrifice the life of a ninth-rank powerhouse first.
This was also the fundamental reason why the major Empires had been reluctant to awaken their totems.
After all, ninth-rank giants were few and far between; who would be willing to jump out and be a sacrifice?
"I understand!"
After a little guidance from Lin Feng, the twin sisters were instantly enlightened.
Even if the Main World were really occupied by the pirates, it might not be a bad thing for them.
At worst, they would just get a new master and keep working.
Besides, the Star Sea Raiders' goal had always been the core mining areas; they had no intention of wiping them out completely.
The reason they had been fighting so fiercely was purely due to conflicts of interest over territory.
As long as everyone let go and did nothing, the Main World's totems would eventually be unable to sit still and would take the initiative to appear.
In this way, they could watch from the sidelines without losing a single soldier.
This level of the game, the leaders of the Four Great Empires, hadn't seen through it at all.
As the saying goes, the bystanders see more than the players; only Lin Feng, an outsider, could see the essence of the game at a glance.
"Since the general direction is set, act according to the plan immediately."
Void Realm meeting.
It had only been over a month since their last meeting, yet the Empress and Lin Feng had jointly issued a highest-level meeting notice.
The various leaders had to put aside their urgent matters and rush to attend the meeting.
Even Old Dragon was full of doubts.
Previously, Lin Feng had been a staunch hawk; why was he suddenly on the same side as the enemy Empress today?
Could it be that he had discovered some incredible, earth-shattering secret on the front lines?
Carrying a belly full of questions, Old Dragon stepped into the virtual meeting venue on time.
"Amaterasu, what urgent matter is there that couldn't be said over the communicator?"
"Did you have to go to such lengths to drag us all over here?"
The Mad Bear Leader had barely entered the door when he began to shout loudly, full of gunpowder.
The total war had only been going on for a few months, and the losses in his country could simply be described as tragic.
Compared to the small skirmishes of the past few thousand years, this defensive war had been too suffocating!
"I'm the one who asked her to send the notice. Do you have an opinion?"
Lin Feng sat steadily at the head of the long conference table, his hands crossed, supporting his chin.
His gaze, sharp as a knife, stared straight at the Crazy Bear Leader.
Relying solely on the Empress's prestige was not enough to hold the field.
So Lin Feng simply snatched the command flag and personally presided over this four-party talk.
"It... it's Commander Lin!"
"On the battlefield, did you perhaps notice something unusual?"
Facing Lin Feng's oppressive gaze, the Mad Bear Leader shivered and subconsciously shrank his neck.
This young man's notoriety was now at its peak.
The arrogant false gods in the enemy camp were slaughtered in batches by this living Yama like chickens!
In front of Lin Feng, he wouldn't dare to breathe loudly, even if he had ten times the courage.
"Alright, if Lin Feng has made a discovery, feel free to speak up. I will definitely provide full support!"
Old Dragon immediately spoke up in support from the side.
During this period, although the old principal had been staying at the headquarters preparing his trump cards, he was fully aware of the movements on the front lines.
He was well aware of the terrifying achievements Lin Feng had made recently.
If Lin Feng said he had discovered a fatal flaw behind enemy lines, he would absolutely believe it one hundred percent.
Since he could directly convene a four-party meeting, this matter was definitely of great importance.
"No problem, I'll speak plainly."
"The enemy's strength far exceeds expectations; relying solely on human wave tactics will definitely not stop them."
"Therefore, I propose changing the strategic policy: full retreat!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly and laid out the decision that shattered their worldviews right from the start.
"What!!"
"Lin Feng! Did you take bribes from the robbers in private?!"
"You actually want us to take the initiative to withdraw troops?!"
Hearing this, the Mad Bear Leader's eyes turned red with anxiety; he slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily.
"I am sitting here today to issue a notice, not to discuss it with you."
"Of course, if you insist on sending your subordinates to be cannon fodder, I won't stop you!"
Lin Feng slammed his palm on the table, and his vast aura at the pseudo-god level erupted!
It had been a month since he last subdued the Empress.
The core Divine Beasts in the Chaos Territory had long since all stepped into the semi-god Realm!
Now, they were only one step away from opening up an independent star system and achieving True God status!
Once the Divine Beasts were enthroned, Lin Feng could appoint them as national guardian totems and completely condense the Chaos Plane into a true Divine Kingdom!
It could be said that at this moment, Lin Feng was absolutely the number one person below the True God rank!
Suppressing a mere Mad Bear Empire was as easy as pie.
"Lin Feng, I believe you are not someone who acts recklessly."
"Tell us the details of your overall plan."
Compared to the hot-tempered Mad Bear Leader, Old Dragon appeared extremely calm.
They had been dealing with each other for the longest time, and he knew Lin Feng's personality like the back of his hand.
This kid was definitely a proud and arrogant young man!
Unbending!
If he could take the initiative to propose a retreat, there must be a deeper scheme hidden within.
"Old Dragon understands me. Of course, I'm not asking everyone to hand over resource points for nothing."
"This move is purely to preserve our vital forces."
"Although the enemy's numbers are not large, they are fully armed and all elites!"
"Using the lives of low-rank soldiers to fill the gun barrels of ninth-rank powerhouses—how many die is how many we lose."
"Currently, the only ones capable of causing substantial damage to the enemy are those of us present here."
"But there are hundreds or thousands of mining areas; we simply can't take care of them all."
Lin Feng nodded gently and began to speak eloquently.
Withdrawing troops was a last resort, but they must not run away like losers.
Since the robbers wanted mines, let them dig.
The Four Great Empires used to fight on their own, their strength scattered, and their development progress was as slow as a snail.
Now facing life and death, they naturally had to twist into a rope.
Therefore, Lin Feng intended to actively clear out some mining areas and let the Star Sea Raiders go in and mine crazily.
Meanwhile, the ninth-rank giants of the Four Great Empires would concentrate their firepower to develop the remaining safe mining areas.
Rescuing as many top-tier resources as possible.
"What!!"
"This is the good idea you came up with?"
"What kind of crappy strategy is this? Isn't it just a disguised form of ceding territory and paying reparations?!"
After listening, the Mad Bear Leader was furious.
"Who said it was ceding territory and paying reparations?"
The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile full of calculation.
"I only said to let them in as free coolies to mine."
"I never said I would let them take the treasures they dug out alive..."
Ceding territory and paying reparations?
NONONO!
Lin Feng simply wanted to catch a batch of free coolies.
"Commander Lin, do you mean..."
Looking at Lin Feng's calculating expression, the Mad Bear Leader broke out in a cold sweat.
For some reason, he had a strong premonition.
This group of extraterrestrial robbers was absolutely going to be in big trouble.
"Exactly what I said. The main force must not be withdrawn completely all at once."
"After withdrawing the main defensive line, let these people go in and plunder wantonly."
"I will personally lurk on the outskirts of the mining area. Once they finish scavenging, I will strike directly, slaughter them all, and take back the resources with interest!"
"To prevent me from being unable to be in two places at once, you must send troops to harass them from time to time. Slow down their mining progress; do not let them finish at the same time."
Lin Feng's mouth curled into a dangerous smile, and his right hand clenched into a fist, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
Black-on-black?
No, this is called the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Let this group of extraterrestrial robbers act as free miners, and when the hard labor is done, Lin Feng will come out and wipe them all out.
In this way, the Great Xia Alliance is equivalent to saving decades or even a hundred years of mining time!
Anyway, the resources have to be dug sooner or later; since there are free tools coming to help, why not?
Having figured this out, everyone actually started to feel sorry for this group of extraterrestrial robbers.
They happily came to rob, but in the end, they couldn't take anything away and even had to become coolies.
It was simply tragic!
"Hahahaha!! Good! This strategy is absolutely brilliant!"
"Do as Commander Lin says!"
"Let these dog bastards work for us for free!"
The Mad Bear Leader laughed out loud.
This method was perfect!
It could reduce casualties and protect core mineral resources.
Most importantly, it could also vent a lot of anger!
