Chapter 398: Terror's Strategic Intent [Another Big Chapter of More than 5,000 Words]
The sky was overcast, and the sound of muffled thunder was faint, as if a heavy rainstorm was coming.
In the dim sky, there were silent lightning bolts breaking through the sky from time to time, and lightning bolts were intertwined on the sky like tree roots, flickering and flickering.
At this time, ten months have passed since the shadow creatures raided the five eastern regions.
This is a life source star in the direction of the Eastern Regions of the Five Directions, near the Central Domain. Fang Di and the others have been coming to the Oriental Ancient City on this star for more than ten days. The command center of the Heavenly Alliance in the Eastern Regions is in this ancient city in the East.
Fang Di had just visited Tina, who was still in a coma, her injuries barely under control, but she didn't get any better.
The reason why the shadow creatures are powerful is not only because they are good at stealing the void and coming and going without a trace, but also because their attack ability is also outstanding, once they are injured, their bodies will be invaded by a kind of shadow demonic energy, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, which is extremely difficult to get rid of. This can only be seen from the fact that Fang Di and Ji Yao took a long time to recover after being injured at the hands of the shadow creatures.
This time, Tina was injured in the hands of a sixth-order demon general whose strength was much higher than her, and she did not die, of course, because of the healing immortal liquid of Cheng Immortal Land, the effect was wonderful, but also because she had the bloodline of the family's god inheritance in her body, and she was fighting against the shadow demon qi in her body.
It's hard to predict whether Tina will survive this.
In fact, not only Tina, but also Fang Di and Guo Dongshan, so far, the injuries have only improved, and they have not yet healed.
The only one who has completely recovered is Zhong Shisan, who broke through at that time, and he is now immersed in penance to stabilize the fourth-order realm that he has just broken through.
Fang Di Tan watched Tina come out, and was about to go back to exercise to heal his injuries, and at the same time wanted to check the Sun Golden Sutra. Take a look at the remains of Horus hidden in it, and what is the current condition.
However, at this moment, someone came to report that the high-level leaders of the Heavens Alliance summoned Fang Di to go and inquire about something.
Due to the current sudden change in the situation in the Eastern Regions. At present, the major forces attach great importance to it, including the Heavens Alliance, and many high-level figures in the various forces have already come to the Eastern Regions to take charge.
Within the Heavens Alliance, Zong Zheng, who was familiar with Fang Di, also came over in person not long ago, and some alliance powerhouses of the same level as Zong Zheng all arrived one after another. It wasn't the first time that Fang Di had gone over to ask about the Death Labyrinth and the like.
More than ten minutes later. Fang Di walked into a hall with a slightly dim light and a very serious atmosphere.
In the center of the temple is a huge stone table, which is made of the same material as the floor, which is black and smooth stone, giving people a somewhat heavy and oppressive appearance.
On both sides of the table, there were more than a dozen people sitting, most of them old men with sparkling spirits and shining eyes. Each has a bearing, either majestic or calm. At first sight, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person.
Behind these dozens of old men, there were still many people of different ages.
After Fang Di walked into the hall, someone in the distance raised his hand slightly, signaling him to go over, it was Qi Zuo, Zong Zheng's assistant, and he was standing behind Zong Zheng.
"The latest news of the war. The Ancient Emperor Family, the Diyuan Sect, the Pantian Clan, the Youxiong, and the two important branches of the Tianchao tribe have inherited the families and tribes that have been passed down through the ages. All have fallen one after another.
Yesterday alone, there were a total of six Life Source Stars in the Eastern Regions, which were captured by shadow creatures.
The last time the Shadow Creatures attacked so violently probably dates back to eons ago, when they first appeared in our Five Directions from the Chaos Chaos plane, when they displayed the same fierce aggression. ”
Fang Di walked quietly to stand behind Zong Zheng, and the voice he heard as he walked forward was said by a middle-aged man with two mustaches, a thin body, shining eyes, and a flexible and intelligent eyes between opening and closing.
This man's name is Lu Yan, and he is known as a wise man within the Alliance, and he is a strategist-type figure.
He was reporting the latest battle situation in the Eastern Regions to all the elders of the high-level of the Heavenly Alliance here.
Fang Di didn't open his mouth after standing still, in this kind of place where high-level figures gathered, with Fang Di's current status, there was no room to interject at will.
After Lu Yan's debriefing, a slightly old and deep voice asked, "How is the battle situation in the Southern Regions?"
The inquirer was a tall old man dressed in black, surnamed Lian, but he was the elder of the same clan of Lian Qingyi, who had been at odds with Fang Di, and the younger brother of the old woman Lian Chu. The Lian family has always had authority in the Heavens Alliance, and this old man is the second person who is the only one in the Lian family, and this time he is representing the Lian family to sit in the Eastern Regions.
As he asked, his eyes swept and he saw Fang Di walking behind Zong Zheng, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The battle situation in the Southern Regions is currently quite stable, after all, the shadow creatures have shown their intention to attack the Southern Regions, we have been prepared for a long time, and have mobilized heavy troops to garrison them, these days, the two sides have won and lost each other in the Southern Regions. It's a pity that it is precisely because we have withdrawn a large number of elites from the Southern Regions that the current defensive weakness in the Eastern Regions has been taken advantage of by shadow creatures, which is really our mistake. ”
Lu Yan, who was tall and thin, dressed in a yellow shirt, and had a compassionate look on his face, sighed and responded to the inquiry of the old man of the Lian family.
Fang Di stood expressionlessly, never revealing the slightest thought in his heart, and glanced at Zongzheng, who was sitting peacefully and silently beside him.
It happened that Zong Zheng spoke at this time: "Everyone already knows Fang Di, he is one of the few people who escaped from the maze of death safely, let's listen to his opinion." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Fang Di, bowed his head slightly, and signaled that Fang Di had any thoughts, he didn't have to scruples, he could say it.
In fact, Fang Di had already met with Zong Zheng privately before, and exchanged views on the Shadow Tribe's raid on the Eastern Regions.
As for what Fang Di would say at this time, Zong Zheng also had some understanding. In fact, it was after communicating with Fang Di not long ago, after much thought, that he decided to let Fang Di repeat what he had said to him not long ago in front of many high-level members of the alliance.
Fang Di had also been prepared for this, he was neither sharp nor deliberately restrained at this time, but just behaved calmly and said with a calm temperament: "After I came out of the maze of death, I have been thinking about the strategic intention of the shadow creatures to attack the Eastern Regions these days. ”
Many of the big bosses of the Heavenly Alliance in the hall all looked at Fang Di.
Most of these gazes are unwavering and unusually calm. It is the kind of gaze that looks at a junior from the objective perspective of an elder.
Of course, among these eyes, there are also hidden disdain, such as the old man of the Lian family.
The other is Lu Yan, he doesn't have any grudges with Fang Di. It's because of his position in the alliance, he is a staff officer-type person, at this time, seeing that Fang Di has led the topic to the strategic intent of the shadow creature, he feels that this is his area of expertise, if Fang Di is allowed to conduct an in-depth discussion on this topic, it will inevitably have some meaning of showing his majesty in the field that Lu Yan is good at, so he is secretly annoyed in his heart.
Regardless of whether this Lu Yan has the heart of a villain or not, different things happen to different people, so they have different considerations and perspectives. There is nothing wrong with that.
At this time, Lu Yan's eyes turned slightly, and without waiting for Fang Di to continue, he spoke a moment first:
"I've also thought deeply about the issues related to the Shadow Clan's war this time. They started the war this time, nothing more than to rely on the Death Labyrinth as a base, and attack our Eastern Regions and Southern Regions at the same time, with the main purpose of plundering the resources of our Five Domains. If they can gain a foothold in the Eastern Regions, they will be able to fight each other with the Southern Regions. With a vise, it points its front towards the central domain. That's their strategic vision. ”
Lu Yan's analysis was to the point, and his exit was well-founded and clear, showing his extraordinary insight and vision.
After he finished speaking, he also secretly felt complacent, and thought that I would say this opinion first, if this is the same as what I said. It shows that he is not as good as me, how do I think he will accept it?
Thinking like this, Lu Yan turned his head to look at Fang Di, and faintly, there was a sense of competing for intelligence.
Fang Di's expression was indifferent. The idea that Lu Yan misunderstood that he would threaten his position was clear at a glance, and this person's previous analysis was indeed extraordinary, and some of the content coincided with Fang Di.
Many high-level figures of the Heavenly Alliance who were in attendance also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Lu Yan's analysis and opinion.
Lu Yan's eyes flashed, and he gently stroked his hand, giving people a feeling that he had a wisdom bead in his hand and had no last resort, and then said: "The Shadow Clan is very ambitious, but even if they temporarily gain the upper hand, the layout of this raid on the Eastern Regions is also wonderful, objectively speaking, the means of strategic transfer are really amazing." If they can really gain a firm foothold in the Eastern Regions, they will undoubtedly occupy an absolute initiative advantage in the entire overall situation. ”
Lu Yan paused when he said this, and then changed his words: "But in my opinion, the Shadow Clan's idea is very good, but it is impossible to succeed. ”
Lu Yan's last few words were quite high-spirited and very determined.
After that, he waved his hand again and continued: "The reason why they can gain the upper hand in the Eastern Regions right now is mainly because of the surprise of this raid, which can be regarded as a surprise soldier. But a strange soldier is a strange soldier, and he can never win the dignified and calm way of righteousness. As long as we ease our hands and the major forces coordinate to send troops to crush the past steadily, why can't the danger in the Eastern Regions be solved?"
As soon as Lu Yan's words fell, the old man of the Lian family shouted loudly and praised: "Okay, it's a good point." Lu Yan, you are worthy of being a famous staff officer under the command of our alliance, and your views are clear and reasonable. Once our major forces join forces, the shadow creatures will have the upper hand in the small amount they currently occupy, and it will be necessary for them to return their original profits. ”
The other people present were also happy, and some of them smiled slightly, agreeing with Lu Yan's analytical words.
Lu Yan's words also represented the thoughts of most of the Five Directions Domain cultivators. In fact, there are many powerful people in the high-level, and at this time, they have already seen the strategic intentions of the shadow creatures, they want to occupy some key positions in the eastern region on the basis of occupying part of the southern region, and at the same time open up the strongholds of the two regions in the southeast, so as to advance the troops to the central region.
In this way, the Shadow Clan will have an absolute advantage in the overall situation of the Five Directions. Once their strategic intent is realized, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Five Domains will be threatened by the Shadow Camp's forces.
At that time, if you are not careful, the Wufang Domain will even be overturned.
It's just that the current strategic intentions of the shadow creatures, although some people have seen it, but the intention is the intention, and it does not mean that it can become a reality. On the side of the Five Directions, few people believed that the Shadow Faction really had the ability to achieve their strategic intentions.
This is not because the people of the Five Directions Domain are arrogant, but because of the profound heritage of the Five Directions.
Since the beginning of the universe, the Five Directions Domain has always been strong and invincible, and in the Five Directions Domain, through cultivation, one can even go straight to the realm of gods and demons. What an incredible thing!
It is no exaggeration to say that the Five Directions Domain is one of the most powerful places of origin of life in this vast universe, and it is the hometown of the gods.
It is precisely because since there has been civilization that the cultivators of the Five Directions Domain have always been high and referential. Whatever you want. Therefore, at this time, there were many people who saw the strategic intentions of the Shadow Clan, but few people thought that with the background and strength of the Five Directions Domain, they would really be forced to the point where the Shadow Clan would be exhausted and their strategic intentions would be successfully realized.
In this regard, Fang Di and others have a different focus.
He came here after a series of wonderful events from Earth, and merged into the Five Directions. It is precisely because of this that Fang Di can look at the situation in front of him and make judgments from a more rational and bystander perspective.
At this time, after Lu Yan finished speaking at length, Fang Di spoke again. Speaking his thoughts, he went straight to the point: "Actually, the strategic intent of the shadow creatures may be one step closer. It is likely that they want to completely open up the battle line between the Eastern Regions and the Southern Regions and connect them as one, so that half of the defense line of the Five Directions Domain will fall into their hands at one time. ”
When Fang Di said this thought, some people in the hall subconsciously looked a little serious. They glanced at each other.
A moment later, a chuckle sounded first, but it was the old man of the Lian family. He stared at Fang Di with his eyes. Jiong Jiong was aggressive: "You are whimsical! It's just nonsense, if the Shadow Clan really has such delusions, then they will be just like Fang Di you, they have lost their minds." ”
Immediately, there was another old man whose eyes were shining, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Well, Fang Di, your idea is very bold. It's imaginative, but it's because it's too bold that it's a bit out of bounds. ”
Lu Yan on the other side smiled and said, "Fang Di, it's a bit ridiculous for you to put forward this idea." The Shadow Clan you mentioned wanted to take the opportunity to connect the Southern and Eastern Regions and form a complete front. Have you considered how difficult it is?"
He added: "The Southern Regions and the Eastern Regions sound next to each other, but in fact, the distance between the two is so far that it takes millions of light years to calculate, how can the shadow creatures have the strength to spread out such a long front?"
How should the relevant strategic materials be transported? How can they solve these problems? If they rely on shuttling against space, it will be even more impossible, and the consumption will be so great that they can't afford it at all, unless they can build a stable teleportation channel, but this is even more impossible, first, it will take too long, and second, they want to set up a teleportation channel between the two regions in the southeast and southeast in the case of a war with our five-party domain, which is simply a fool's dream. ”
After a pause, he said with a smile: "Fang Di, you are young after all, and your ideas are too immature." When Lu Yan said this, he even laughed at himself a little in his heart, he was really worried and too sensitive. This Fang Di is extremely immature, how can he threaten his position in the alliance, in other words, this Fang Di may be outstanding, but in terms of strategic vision, he is by no means his opponent.
When Lu Yan thought about this, Fang Di had already calmly continued: "In fact, there is a way to solve the problems related to the long battle line and the unfavorable transportation of strategic materials. ”
"Oh?"
After all, there were still some people in the hall who were thinking about what Fang Di said, and at this time, when they looked at Fang Di, their eyes showed the meaning of inquiry.
Lu Yan didn't believe that Fang Di could say any solution, and said confidently: "I want to hear about it." ”
The old man of the Lian family snorted lightly, and said to the other party quite unceremoniously: "You made this kind of remark, just to sensationalize the public, to be alarmist, and to strive to impress people, so as to facilitate smooth promotion in the alliance in the future." How can such a little trick be hidden from so many pairs of eyes in this temple?
You said that the shadow creatures want to connect the fronts of the two regions in the southeast and south, not to mention how they can spread out the strength of such a long front, not to mention, even if their troops are enough, fighting on such a long front, how their soldiers can be flexibly and quickly deployed, and what to use as a transit base for troops, these are all unsolvable difficulties. Do you think the Shadows will mess around like you and see war as child's play?"
Fang Di glanced at the old man of the Lian family and frowned: "I don't know if the shadow creatures are messing around, but I can easily answer the questions you raised." ”
Fang Di's voice sank, but the meaning of his voice was earth-shattering: "In terms of shadow creatures, there is not just one, but two, or even more giant ruins like the Death Labyrinth, has anyone ever thought about what the result will be?"
The hall was suddenly quiet, this idea was really amazing, no one had seriously thought about it in this direction before, as soon as Fang Di's words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall flashed together.
The old man of the Lian family sighed: "How is this possible? Such a huge death labyrinth is comparable to the giant of a galaxy, and there will be a second shadow creature?"
Fang Di ignored him and continued: "In terms of shadow creatures, there only needs to be a second Death Labyrinth, once the void breaks and appears in the middle of the Southern Regions and the Eastern Regions at this time, it can immediately connect the Shadow Tribes who are currently in the Eastern Regions and the Southern Regions on both sides. Form a unified front, and the flexibility of their troops, and the difficulty of the long battle line, can naturally rely on the death labyrinth as a transit base and be perfectly solved. ”
Fang Di's idea was too terrifying, and the hall was quiet, and the falling needles could be heard.
Fang Di took a deep breath and finally said, "And if the shadow creatures still have a third death labyrinth as a base, then the situation will be far more terrifying than we imagined, and the consequences will be unpredictable."
Fang Di bowed and said softly: "Fang Di has finished what he wants to say, if there is nothing wrong with you, I have injuries on my body, so I will retreat and heal." ”
Zong Zheng glanced at Fang Di, nodded slightly, and Fang Di turned around and walked out.
When Fang Di walked out of the hall, there was still a dead silence in the hall, and in the end, only the monotonous voice of the old man of the Lian family sounded: "This kid is just talking nonsense, does anyone really believe it? All this is his speculation, how can it be taken seriously?"
"What if he guessed correctly?"
Someone said this, and the temple fell silent again.
Fang Di left this temple proudly and returned to his temporary residence. The rest of the team was currently practicing hard, and the room was quiet, so Fang Di entered a quiet room, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
Within his sea of knowledge, the Sun Golden Sutra slowly appeared.
