176: Chapter 176 Those who disrupt the morale of the army shall be executed!

"The strategy is indeed ingenious..."

Old Long stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

Previously, everyone had fallen into a trap of conventional thinking, focusing only on how to defend desperately while forgetting that the essence of a mining area is meant to be developed.

Robbers coming to seize territory are doing so for the resources; there is no harm in using their own strategy against them.

"But, if this happens, the other side will surely be enraged once they discover they have been played. If they launch a full-scale attack on the Main World, we might not come out on top."

Old Long still had some concerns. "Don't we still have the Four Great Divine Beasts protecting the country? If the homeland is destroyed, they won't just stand by and watch, right?"

Hearing this, the smile on Lin Feng's lips deepened.

This was precisely his ultimate goal!

"What!?"

Except for the Blood Moon Empress, Old Long and the Mad Bear Leader were completely stunned.

The implication in Lin Feng's words was clearly that he intended to let the foreign enemies in to wreak havoc on the Main World!

This was the homeland they all relied on for survival!

How could they tolerate outsiders smashing it up at will?

"If you still harbor such naive fantasies, you are welcome to go and awaken the Divine Beasts right now."

Lin Feng picked up the hot tea on the table, his tone light and indifferent.

"Principal, according to the regulations, to awaken the Starry Sky Divine Dragon, you must sacrifice your own freedom for a lifetime, right?"

"As for the Blood Moon Empire, awakening the Yamata no Orochi requires sacrificing the Empress's life and Physical Body to fill the belly of that monster."

"As for the two of you, I am not quite sure of the specific conditions, but the outcome definitely won't be any better."

"So, are you sure you still want to awaken them?"

The situation was already very clear.

If it were in the past, awakening a Divine Beast might at best be considered an ultimate trump card.

But today, the price was simply too painful!

Each of the Four Great Empires had almost only one Tier 9 True God sitting in power.

Once the leader was sacrificed, it was equivalent to losing the greatest protective umbrella.

After the war, the entire Universe's landscape would inevitably be reshuffled. No one was willing to face such a situation.

"But, to let them trample on our territory and citizens..."

The leader of the White Eagle Federation flickered his eyes, staring at Lin Feng, seemingly harboring some ulterior motives.

"Since you have objections, there is no need for you to participate in these muddy waters."

Before the other party could finish speaking.

Lin Feng's figure turned into lightning, directly crossing a distance of over ten meters, and instantly appeared in front of the White Eagle Leader.

His right hand reached out like an iron pincer, grabbing the other party's head, and smashed it fiercely into the ground!

At the same time.

The Blood Moon Empress also reacted extremely quickly, rising up instantly, and within a few moves, subdued the bodyguards accompanying the White Eagle Leader.

These bodyguards were all 8th-Order Gods, but they were no match for the Empress.

Since the White Eagle Leader was harboring evil intentions, to prevent leaks, Lin Feng felt it was very necessary to make him shut up forever.

Without the slightest hesitation.

After controlling the opponent, Lin Feng directly used the Chaos Territory to forcibly connect to the opponent's exclusive plane.

"You... what do you want to do!?"

The White Eagle Leader was terrified, completely not expecting Lin Feng to act so decisively.

Just because he had a fleeting thought of opposition, he was actually going to be wiped out on the spot!

"You know very well that if you are kept alive, the whole plan will go wrong!"

Lin Feng didn't waste any words and dealt a lethal blow.

Old Long and the Mad Bear Leader were momentarily stunned as they watched the decisive Lin Feng.

What puzzled them even more was why the Blood Moon Empress would coordinate with Lin Feng's actions so tacitly.

The White Eagle Leader was dead.

He died very suddenly.

Old Long and the other didn't even have time to react before this Tier 9 powerhouse was easily crushed by Lin Feng.

Along with his 8th-Order bodyguards, all died at the hands of the Empress.

Finally, Lin Feng even summoned the Taotie to swallow the remains on the ground and the collapsing plane in one gulp, completely destroying the evidence.

"Ding! Taotie has successfully devoured the body of a high-level powerhouse, its foundation has slightly improved!"

This time, even Old Long felt that Lin Feng had become somewhat unfamiliar.

It was too crazy!!

"Lin Feng, you..."

Looking at Lin Feng, who sat back down on the chair, Old Long stopped mid-sentence.

"Principal, rest assured, for the sake of the big picture, this was an obstacle that had to be cleared."

"Besides, you are more familiar with military rules than I am: Those who disrupt military morale shall be executed."

Lin Feng picked up his teacup and drained it in one gulp.

Seeing this, the Blood Moon Empress hurried forward to pour fresh tea for Lin Feng.

Her attitude was respectful, as if serving her own monarch.

Seeing this scene, Old Long and the Mad Bear Leader instantly realized.

The Blood Moon Empress... had actually completely submitted to Lin Feng!!

"Those who disrupt military morale shall be executed!"

Old Long sighed and accepted this result.

Military orders are like mountains! Disrupting military morale is a capital offense!

Although Lin Feng's move was a bit brutal, there was absolutely no flaw to pick in it.

Moreover, the plan was indeed perfect; the only remaining issue was how to settle the civilians of the several major Empires after the mining area was retaken.

"Regarding the subsequent resettlement, I have already planned it out."

"It is nothing more than a large-scale population transfer."

"The Four Great Empires will be completely merged, concentrating all citizens into a safe zone."

"To avoid infighting, the citizens of the White Eagle Federation will be placed on the outermost perimeter. Next will be the Mad Bear Empire, then the Blood Moon Empire. The citizens of the Great Xia Alliance will be arranged in the most core safe area."

"I think you two should have no objections, right?"

Lin Feng swept his gaze around, landing on the Empress and the Mad Bear Leader.

The outermost position was undoubtedly the most dangerous breakwater.

The closer to the center, the higher the safety.

Even a three-year-old child understands this principle.

As Lin Feng's motherland, the Great Xia Alliance naturally had to enjoy the best treatment.

The Blood Moon Empress was now half-one of his own, so she certainly couldn't be treated poorly.

As for the remaining two, Lin Feng didn't care at all who stayed on the outside to act as a meat shield.

Killing the White Eagle Leader just now was also out of this consideration.

Someone had to stand on the outermost perimeter, and no one was willing to let their own citizens die.

Since the White Eagle Leader was already a dead man, his citizens naturally had to be on the front line as cannon fodder.

Incidentally, using this head gave the Mad Bear Leader a way to back down.

If the other party still didn't understand, Lin Feng wouldn't mind killing one more to avoid future trouble.

"I fully agree!"

Old Long was the first to raise his hand in support, a smile finally appearing on his face.

The Great Xia citizens were safe and sound, so what else did he have to complain about?

At this moment, he felt extremely fortunate that he had placed all his bets on Lin Feng; it was absolutely the wisest decision.

This kid's methods were ruthless, but he was truly seeking the greatest benefits for Great Xia.

"This subordinate also has no objections."

The Empress lowered her head slightly, feeling equally fortunate.

It was lucky she had picked her side quickly. If she had been half a beat slower, the corpse lying on the ground today might have been hers.

After all, the grudge between the Blood Moon Empire and Lin Feng was not small.

"Phew... I have no objections either!"

The Mad Bear Leader looked at the dried blood on the ground and sighed heavily.

He had no choice left.

The situation was clear. Lin Feng held all the power, and the White Eagle Leader had already become slag.

If he didn't cooperate honestly, the outcome was obvious.

Submitting to Lin Feng was the only way to survive.

Moreover, this chain of strategies was indeed ingenious!

Once the resources were seized and the extra-territorial robbers realized they had been played, they would surely launch a full-scale attack; by then, he could just use the White Eagle people to take the hit.

"Very good. Since everyone has reached a consensus, let's push forward with the plan immediately."

"As for who to send to harass the robbers' mining progress, I think the soldiers of the White Eagle Federation are quite suitable; they are well-trained and will come in handy."

"What do you all think?"

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and threw out the last question.

"Very suitable!" Old Long agreed immediately.

Harassing the enemy army was a suicide mission, a one-way trip.

Letting people from other countries go to their deaths was naturally the best thing.

The Empress and the Mad Bear Leader also nodded repeatedly.

Better a Fellow Daoist dies than me; whoever wants to do this cannon fodder job can go ahead.

...

The comprehensive counterattack of the Four-Nation Alliance quietly began.

After receiving Lin Feng's top-secret instructions, a large number of defensive soldiers began to withdraw from their positions in an orderly manner.

This unusual behavior immediately alerted the extra-territorial robbers.

"Boss, they seem to have all slipped away."

"Should we chase after them and have a good slaughter?"

A burly, rugged man with huge bull horns leaned over to the leader and asked.

"Chase my ass!"

The black-clad man in the lead darkened his face and backhanded a slap onto the Minotaur's head.

"These natives know they can't beat us, so they've voluntarily given up resistance."

"This is a huge piece of good news!"

"We came all this way, isn't it just to mine resources? Now that no one is making trouble, isn't it great to just be a mine manager here?"

Do not pursue a cornered enemy; this is an iron rule.

Recently, the Star Sea Raiders not only hadn't gained much, but had suffered heavy losses.

A terrifying inspection team had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, specializing in picking off lone experts.

In just a few months, they had lost more than a dozen captains at the pseudo-god level.

If they rashly pursued and drew out these deadly ancestors, wouldn't the gain not be worth the loss?

"Boss is wise!"

The Minotaur rubbed the back of his head and quickly gave a thumbs up, flattering him.

"Good for you, kid, you know how to talk!"

"Hurry up and report the situation truthfully to the Commander; this Main World will soon be in our pocket!"

The black-clad man was very pleased and patted the Minotaur on the shoulder.

They had no idea that in the Void Realm shadows not far away.

Two sharp eyes were staring closely at their every move.

"The brain-filling ability of these idiots is quite reassuring."

Lin Feng looked at these extra-territorial robbers, a cold smile curling on his lips.

The situation was exactly as expected.

The only goal of the raiders was to seek wealth; as long as they weren't pushed into a corner, they would never do the thankless task of slaughtering a city.

The plan could proceed perfectly.

"Dominator, below is one of our country's core resource points."

"Before they broke in, we had already mined most of it."

"With their current manpower, within three days, they will definitely be able to empty out the remaining mine veins."

The Empress stood quietly by Lin Feng's side and reported softly.

"Three days?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly; this efficiency was a bit slow.

"If they work around the clock without rest, two days at the fastest," the Empress thought for a moment and gave a more extreme number.

"Not bad. In that case, I will go to other mining areas to take a look."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, driving the Chaos Territory, and slid quietly toward the nearest coordinate point.

The tools were all in place; now, it was just a matter of patiently waiting to close the net.
