Chapter 489: Dumbfounded
The middle and low-level personnel in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' have felt very strange these days, as if something big is about to happen.
In particular, those front-line material storage personnel obviously found that the material transfer was too frequent during this time, and many combat materials that were not standing suddenly increased, and it seemed that a major war was brewing.
Not only that, within the 'Hidden Dragon Club', personnel scheduling has become frequent and huge, and the abnormal large-scale cross-regional scheduling has made all the middle and low-level personnel feel very confused!
The most important thing is that these movements are obviously not directed against a single force on the outside, but are clearly concentrated somewhere on the inside.
Unlike the inexplicable middle and low-level personnel, the various families and members who have sat in the high-level positions and are deeply rooted in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' have become silent one by one, rapidly shrinking their forces, as if they are afraid of something.
At this moment, those who know the inside story know that the contradictions that have been lurking in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' are finally about to break out!
While many people don't know why the two sides, who have always been somewhat balanced, suddenly broke their silence and were ready to solve the problem in the most extreme way, everyone knows that it is indeed time to take sides!
Especially those families and forces that have a certain foundation in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' are even more busy to start discussing, and quickly express their attitude once the matter starts!
Because once the war starts, whether it is Empress Zhao Min's side or Liao Zhenbang's side, they need to confirm who is their ally and who is their enemy!
Among them, there is no intermediary or wait-and-see force! If someone chooses a position under the pretense of waiting for the two to decide the winner, then there is only one result: they will be the first to be eliminated by the two forces!
Everyone knew that this would be a great change, and it would fundamentally change the basis of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'. Any party that thinks it can sell at a price will definitely be considered by both parties as wanting to make a profit, and will definitely be the first to eliminate that force.
Therefore, no family or force can leave itself alone in advance, unless it is emboldened enough to become a third party that does not belong to the two!
"Zhang Aiqing, how long will it take to complete the assembly?" Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji, although there was no expression on his face, the eagerness in his words was still obvious.
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have done their best, but the area crossed is too big, and it is really not appropriate to be too fast to guard against the garrison problem of the original area!" Zhang Wuji was a little helpless, he really had no way to increase his speed.
This time, Zhao Min decided to have a showdown with Liao Zhenbang and them, so naturally he had to use his absolutely trusted subordinates to carry out the task!
In the current 'Hidden Dragon Society', only Zhang Wuji's team will definitely not have any connection with Liao Zhenbang and them, and can fully carry out Zhao Min's orders!
After all, Liao Zhenbang has been operating in the 'Qianlong Club' for many years, and they have many sophisticated relationships, and their relationships are even more intertwined. If the original subordinates of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' were allowed to fight against Liao Zhenbang and their 'rebels', it would be difficult to guarantee the completion of the mission!
God knows, will those people really fight against Liao Zhenbang and them? After all, the human race of the Purple Gold Continent likes to be human, and the so-called life is a line, especially for acquaintances! If this is the case, if Zhao Min wants to eliminate Liao Zhenbang and them, I am afraid that the time it will take will be too long for her to bear!
More likely, if the persecution is too much, it will be a counterattack...... This Zhao Min doesn't want to see even more!
Looking at the entire 'Hidden Dragon Society', only Zhang Wuji's subordinates have nothing to do with Liao Zhenbang and them. Not only that, but because it was taken refuge during Zhao Min's reign, Zhang Wuji and his subordinates needed the support of Empress Zhao Min to survive in the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!
After all, they are also outsiders, and they have natural differences about the old forces in the 'Hidden Dragon Society'! If it weren't for Zhao Min's support, Zhang Wuji and his subordinates would have been squeezed out by the old forces long ago!
So, when Zhao Min decided to attack Liao Zhenbang and them, he immediately decided to let the troops led by Zhang Wuji carry out a combat mission!
In this way, Zhao Min does not have to worry about the completion of the task at all, and he will not be afraid that the front-line combat team will defect!
But everything is like this, there are advantages, there must be disadvantages!
The area where Zhang Wuji is stationed is the territory split after the destruction of the original 'Green Dragon Gang', and compared to the 'Hidden Dragon Society', it belongs to both the 'raw land' and the 'border land'!
The so-called 'Raw Land' refers to the area where Zhang Wuji is stationed, and it is difficult for the original forces of the 'Hidden Dragon Society' to intervene in it. Whether it is personnel allocation, administrative orders or taxes, they are all completely in the hands of Zhang Wuji.
Even Empress Zhao Min would not easily send someone to intervene in it, thereby harming the interests of Zhang Wuji and his subordinates!
This is a tacit understanding, a kind of comfort and kindness to the refuge!
As a person with vested interests in the territory, even if Zhang Wuji wants to work for the empress Zhao Min again, the people under his command also know that safeguarding the interests of the empress is to protect their own interests, and it is impossible to take out the interests that have been swallowed in their stomachs!
After all, no matter from which point of view, that piece of land is not only the name of Zhang Wuji and his subordinates who defected to Empress Zhao Min, but also their foundation!
If they lose this foundation because of the mission, then they will be nothing!
Therefore, when the fighters under Zhang Wuji's command were transferred to prepare to fight against Liao Zhenbang and them, they also needed to consider the safety of their own side, and all aspects should be taken care of and considered. In this situation, the efficiency of the transfer can be imagined!
Speaking of the 'Frontier', compared to the entire territory of the 'Hidden Dragon Society', the newly added area in the northeast is too far away from the central area!
Especially the area controlled by Liao Zhenbang and them is almost separated from the territory of the 'Hidden Dragon Society'!
The mobilization of such a large span of personnel is already a very tricky matter. What's more, this also involves the interests of the rest of the third-party wait-and-see forces!
After all, in the eyes of Empress Zhao Min, Liao Zhenbang and the others are 'rebellious,' and those centrists who want to reap the benefits of the fishermen are not good birds!
If one of them is not good to show flaws, it is difficult to guarantee that Empress Zhao Min will not take advantage of the situation and eradicate the forces in the borrowed way!
"I'm in a hurry. Zhao Min also recovered and relieved Zhang Wuji. It's not that she doesn't know what the problem is, it's just a blind eye. Fortunately, Zhao Min is not an ordinary person, and she quickly sobered up.
"Ling'er. Zhao Min looked at Zhang Ling again and asked, "What about your situation?!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Zhang Ling's face was calm, and he said softly, "Now that the 'Heavenly Soldiers' have been scattered everywhere, anyone who dares to cause trouble to His Majesty at this time, the 'Heavenly Soldiers' will definitely not be spared!"
"Then please!" Zhao Min smiled and nodded.
The combat power of the 'Heavenly Soldiers' is extraordinary, but their numbers are too small! In the face of the coming big war, no matter how strong the 'Heavenly Soldiers' are, they are likely to be drowned in the midst of a large number of opponents!
Even if the 'Heavenly Soldiers' are gathered together to do elite assaults to fight, it is likely to fall into the sea of people, which is not in the interests of Empress Zhao Min!
And more importantly, Zhao Min must also solve a problem: his own internal safety must be guaranteed!
As mentioned above, Liao Zhenbang and their 'Hidden Dragon Society' forces are intertwined, and their connections are also extremely extensive! Although many of the shadows that were buried before were pulled out by the 'Heavenly Soldiers', it is difficult to guarantee that there are still hidden shadows!
What's more, once things change, those centrists who were originally hesitant are likely to act against the empress, which will lead to the direction of the entire battle, which Zhao Min will never allow!
As a result, Zhao Min simply did not send the 'Heavenly Soldiers' to be the frontal battlefield team, but dispersed to the area under her actual control to closely monitor the every move of the forces she was not worried about!
After all, although the battle will be very difficult, Zhao Min is still very confident in his victory!
Not to mention Empress Zhao Min's side, which far surpasses Liao Zhenbang in terms of absolute combat power, even among the low-level combatants, the subordinates led by Zhang Wuji are also absolutely hard-core!
After all, although Liao Zhenbang and his command have a large number of people, there are not many real battles!
After all, from the establishment of the entire 'Hidden Dragon Club' to the present, large-scale battles are rare, mainly small-scale battles and behind-the-scenes layouts!
Therefore, whether it is in terms of overall combat strength or mentality, the subordinates led by Liao Zhenbang are far inferior to the members of the original 'Blue Dragon Gang' led by Zhang Wuji!
After experiencing a series of turmoil in the 'Blue Dragon Gang', the subordinates led by Zhang Wuji participated in a lot of battles, and even had experience in large-scale battles! In terms of combat awareness and mentality, the subordinates led by Zhang Wuji were even stronger than the vast majority of the forces of the Terran forces in the Purple Gold Continent!
In contrast, Zhao Min has absolute confidence to outperform the other party on the battlefield!
And this...... Liao Zhenbang: They have just realized ......
"Zhang Wuji's subordinates?!" Liao Zhenbang's face was gloomy, and his mood was a little heavy. And He Yuesheng and the others beside him also had gloomy faces like water, very ugly.
I don't know if I don't act, when Liao Zhenbang and they decided to openly confront Zhao Min and start a combat mobilization, they discovered a fact: they were really not ready at all!
Not to mention the allocation and storage of materials, due to Zhao Min's previous advance, they were not fully prepared.
It is said that when it was time for the war mobilization, Liao Zhenbang and the others found that the members of his command who thought they were powerful were completely unprepared for battle!
In fact, from the very beginning of its establishment, there has always been a problem with the 'Hidden Dragon Club': lack of combat experience!
At the beginning, because the strength was not strong, and it could not cause the discovery and attack of the powerful and incomparable forces at that time, it was not dared to act again.
And in the following three thousand years, although the 'Hidden Dragon Society' gradually grew, there were only a handful of real battles it had participated in! Before Zhao Min gradually took control of power, the 'Hidden Dragon Society' had not even fought for decades!
Although the number of combatants in the 'Hidden Dragon Society' has gradually increased, and the combat training is particularly active, there has never been a real external battle!
Even after Zhao Min took power, the external battles were mostly sneak attacks and assassinations with a small number of people, and there was no experience in large-scale battles at all!
So, when Liao Zhenbang and the others announced that they were ready to fight and began to mobilize their families and forces, they were panicked and at a loss when they saw it!
How should personnel be deployed, how should materials be deployed, how should the team be arranged, and who should be in charge...... After all these situations were reported, Liao Zhenbang and they were all stupid!
"No wonder the King of the Southwest doesn't look down on us!" Yin San smiled bitterly, and secretly thought.
Looking at the current situation, Yin San realized how big his previous mistakes were!
All along, they thought that they had great abilities in their control, not to mention rebelling against the 'Hidden Dragon Society' and standing on their own, even if they were to establish a powerful force in the Zijin Empire from the beginning, they would be able to do it easily!
Unexpectedly, it turned out that they had always been fancy goods!
When Empress Zhao Min took power, she began to drastically reform the 'Hidden Dragon Society', wanting to sweep away these drawbacks. They thought that Zhao Min was using the excuse to weaken their power, but they didn't think about how fragile the power in their hands was!
In fact, in some ways, Liao Zhenbang is not wrong!
After more than 3,000 years of development, the 'Hidden Dragon Society' is no longer what it used to be! Their overall combat strength has greatly increased, and their average combat strength has caught up with and surpassed that of the major forces of the Purple Gold Empire! But they have forgotten another element: experience!
The 'Hidden Dragon Society', which has always used 'conspiracy' and 'layout' as a means, has forgotten a basic fact: actual combat is the foundation of testing everything!
And the real combat experience of the current 'Hidden Dragon Club' is the descendants controlled by Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji and his subordinates who are newly surrendered!
When this fact was defeated in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded!
Although Liao Zhenbang is confident that his commanding ability is absolutely not inferior to anyone, he lacks effective subordinates! Among the members under his command, there are no middle- and low-level commanders at all! What an ironic thing?!
"What should we do now?!" He Yuesheng was also speechless, he never thought that this would be the case, he could only look at Liao Zhenbang, waiting for his decision.
"Now the plan can only be to use battle for training!" Liao Zhenbang smiled bitterly, "Disperse all the core disciples into various teams, avoid decisive battles in the early stage of the battle, and focus on small-scale battles!"
"In this way, we will be very passive!" Yin San sighed and said, "I'm afraid that those forces that are standing in the middle and swaying will fall to Zhao Min's side after seeing this situation!"
"Then what's the solution?!" Liao Zhenbang shook his head, "The cause of your own planting, no matter how bitter the bitter fruit is, you have to swallow it yourself!"
"Anyway, let's find a way to save ourselves. Liao Zhenbang finally sighed again, "I have done my best to delay the transfer of Zhang Wuji's subordinates, and it is impossible to delay it any longer!"
"How long is it?!" Yin San looked at Liao Zhenbang.
"Seven days at most!"
