336: Escape Plan

Although Han Huohuo was part of the Ocean Council, he was human after all, and naturally more trustworthy than monsters.

The leader motioned for everyone else to leave for now, leaving only a few generals in the room.

"Please, have a seat!"

Han Huohuo sat down, and the leader and several generals sat opposite him.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Tai Su, the leader here. I'd like to hear your more detailed thoughts."

The name was a bit peculiar, probably a characteristic of the Southern Continent, and Han Huohuo didn't pay it much mind.

"As I just said, as long as we can escape to the coast, I can get a ship to let everyone escape this continent, but how to get to the coast is something you need to figure out."

Tai Su couldn't help but ask, "Any coast will do?"

Han Huohuo nodded, "That's right, but you need to tell me in advance which coast it is so I can have the ship go there to pick people up."

Long-distance communication was nothing new in the Southern Continent, so Tai Su wasn't suspicious. He guessed that Han Huohuo came from an island of the Ocean Council, and it was perfectly reasonable for him to be able to call for a ship, which ignited hope in his heart.

"We have tens of thousands of people, is the ship big enough?"

"Big enough! Not to mention tens of thousands, it can hold even more!"

Tai Su saw Han Huohuo speaking very seriously and thought, even if he was lying, everyone would just die, which was no different from now. But what if this person was telling the truth? Then everyone would have a chance to live!

A drowning person wouldn't even let go of a straw, let alone Han Huohuo's confident assertion, which sounded quite plausible.

After studying the map for a long time, Tai Su found a place.

Han Huohuo could connect seamlessly with Jiang Xiaowen. He had Jiang Xiaowen inform the Pirate King, who immediately began to adjust his course and sail towards that location.

"The problem now is that this place is surrounded by the demon race. How do we break out?"

Tai Su had a headache. He discussed for a long time with his generals. Han Huohuo didn't understand their combat weapons and tactics, so he listened to their discussion but didn't say much, occasionally asking about their strength and weapons.

Gradually, a combat power outline appeared in Han Huohuo's mind.

Stealth airships, high-explosive bombs, kinetic weapons—in fact, this group's combat power was still very strong, especially their technological power was not weak. However, the demon race was even more heaven-defying; that Shen Gongbao had cultivated a bunch of eighth-tier troops, making it impossible to know how to fight them.

Han Huohuo gradually understood their strength, and his heart stirred.

Previously, the strategic planning for Tongtian City had been led by Han Xin, and Han Huohuo had learned a lot by listening to that insidious and despicable fellow's various schemes every day.

His mind began to race.

His intelligence had been upgraded to a very high level, and with the guidance of Han Xin, a master strategist of his time, he was actually stronger than Tai Su and his group.

"Actually, I have an idea!" Han Huohuo came up with a plan.

"Oh, please tell us, sir!" Tai Su didn't underestimate Han Huohuo.

"We don't have many elite warriors here; most are old, weak, sick, or disabled. Even if we could force our way out of the encirclement, I suspect eighty to ninety percent would die on the way, the losses would be too great."

Tai Su lowered his head, tears in his eyes. How could he not know that this was a desperate gamble, and it would be good if one out of ten could escape?

"I have a plan that might allow most people to escape!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Han Huohuo.

Han Huohuo said, "Currently, the demon race's elite forces are all surrounding the mountains. This mountainous area is vast, and the demon race has already reached its limit in terms of deployed troops. Therefore, Tianhuo City must be extremely vulnerable. If we can send a covert unit to launch a surprise attack on Tianhuo City and cause massive destruction, forcing these demon forces to return to defend, a gap will appear here, and the main force can quickly withdraw!"

Tai Su's eyes immediately lit up!

Everyone approved of Han Huohuo's tactics, and the rest was to set the details. Han Huohuo's ideas, however, became increasingly bold, astonishing even these fearless resistance fighters who found them too crazy.

After several hours of repeated deliberation, the ground began to shake again; the demon race was close to burning down all the surrounding forests.

Great demons were spitting fireballs, heavily impacting every mountain range.

Tai Su and his generals added many details, as they knew best the power of their weapons.

"Bring all the high-explosive bombs! Those retreating later won't need them!"

"No problem!"

Within fifteen minutes, the resistance army had all their military equipment ready. Dozens of elite warriors boarded several stealth airships, preparing for special operations.

"Be careful, the demon race has demon-revealing mirrors that can not only reveal demons but also break invisibility. We must avoid the demon magic in the sky while also dodging the mirror's light from above. Remember this: if any airship is discovered, it is responsible for flying away in the opposite direction to draw the enemy away, understood?"

"Yes!"

This was a team not lacking in courage. Han Huohuo had previously benefited from Atlantis and also wanted to help their descendants.

Moreover, the demon race bullied humans, and Han Huohuo himself was human, so he certainly couldn't stand by and watch.

Tai Su and his group possessed some powerful reconnaissance capabilities. When the giant demon-revealing mirror in the sky shone in another direction, all stealth airships immediately set off simultaneously.

The ground was already a sea of fire, with various magic spells filling the sky.

The airship pilots were all elites, navigating the battlefield where magic missiles flew wildly, like agile little fish, flying out of the defensive perimeter.

Han Huohuo was not nervous at all. He stared in one direction in the sky, sensing a terrifying power there.

The oppressive feeling was like that of a ninth-tier Insect God; Han Huohuo knew that the Demon King was also in the sky, monitoring this valley. It seemed he was determined to eliminate this last remaining resistance force.

"To the left!"

The pilot was stunned but still followed Han Huohuo's words, turning the airship to the left. Several fireballs landed consecutively on the right, blasting the surroundings into chaos.

Narrowly avoiding the rapid-fire magic missiles, the pilot was drenched in sweat. It was too terrifying; how did this outsider know to go left?

"Keep going straight, do not change direction!"

The Time-Space Eye on Han Huohuo's forehead spun wildly, receiving information from time and space, leading the stealth airships to evade danger.

Out of a total of seven stealth airships, four successfully broke through the defensive perimeter unnoticed. The other three were discovered and flew in three different directions, attracting a significant amount of the demon race's attention.

"They're trying to escape! Block them! Don't let a single one leave!" the Demon King roared in the sky.

The monsters had no particular tactics; they simply surged forward with their overwhelming strength, rushing to directly blast the airships into pieces.

There was no time to mourn for fallen comrades; after more than a decade of resistance, countless warriors had died, and everyone had become hardened.

After breaking out of the encirclement, the airships rapidly flew towards Tianhuo City.
