Taking the initiative to attack really scared everyone. Choosing to take the initiative to attack at this time sounded like sending them to their deaths. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that they knew that Li Huailin was here to help them, they would have directly arrested him as a spy.
However, although they had the same reaction when they heard Li Huailin's words, after thinking about it for a while, they felt that taking the initiative to attack seemed to be … worth considering. The reason was very simple. The "Gem of Life" that Li Huailin showed them before had changed their minds.
Yes, under normal circumstances, of course, they would not be able to defeat the Dark Faction's troops. However, the problem was that they now had the protection of the artifact. Not only could this gem ensure that they would not die, but it could also instantly "resurrect" them on the spot. This was really amazing. Even if they could not defeat the opposing troops in terms of numbers, as long as they could "Rebirth" indefinitely, of course, they would not be afraid of anything.
"I see." The King calmed down a little and thought of this point. He looked at Li Huailin and said, "Sir, I understand what you mean. If we suddenly attack now, the other party will not be able to think of this situation. And because we have the help of the Gem of Life, we might really be able to defeat those evil guys."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "After all, with the protection of the Gem of Life, our troops are invincible, and the other party's troops will have one less. How can we lose? I asked you to take the initiative to attack because the range of the Gem of Life's protection is limited. It is impossible to cover the entire city, but if the troops are gathered together, they can still defend all of them. So, this is the simplest way to win."
"But …" Marshal Sicosim who was next to him thought for a while and interrupted, "This is still very risky …"
"It's not risky at all. Indeed, if we stay here and defend, we might be able to rely on this treasure. But what if the other party sees that the situation is not right and retreats? Although we can help you this time, we won't be able to help you next time. If the Dark Faction's troops gather and attack again, you won't have the protection of the Gem of Life. How are you going to win next time? " Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "So, the best way is to defeat the enemy's troops head-on now. This way, the enemy's vitality will be greatly damaged, and they won't be able to attack again in a short period of time. Only then will you be completely out of danger."
"I see." The King's eyes lit up. Previously, they were only thinking about how to deal with the Dark Faction. However, what Li Huailin said was right. Even if they managed to repel the Dark Faction's army and defend against it, what would they do if the Dark Faction attacked again? After all, they couldn't rely on the Mysterious Organization to rescue them every single time. With this thought in mind, the King naturally leaned towards Li Huailin's side. While Li Huailin was still around, they should quickly defeat the main force of Li Huailin and ensure their safety.
"If that's the case, then we'll follow Milord's plan." The King thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Cisco Sim, I'll listen to this sir's plan this time. Try to cooperate as much as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cisco Sim originally trusted Li Huailin very much. After all, he had been beaten by Li Huailin before. Now that the King had given the order, he naturally had no objections.
"No, what I need is not his cooperation, but your cooperation," Li Huailin said while pointing at the King.
"Huh?" The King was slightly stunned. "I've already agreed to your plan."
"What I mean is, you have to follow us to attack their main force," Li Huailin said.
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
"Not only you, everyone here has to follow us," Li Huailin said.
"This … this …" The King was dumbfounded. Why did he have to follow them? Such a dangerous thing like going out to fight should naturally be done by his own soldiers. Therefore, he let Cisco Sim listen to Li Huailin and follow them. He never thought that he would have to follow them. What kind of King would do such a thing? He had to personally go out for a surprise attack? The puzzled King immediately asked, "Sir, why is that?"
"Do you think it's safer in the city or outside?" Li Huailin asked directly.
"Of course it's … Wait …" The King subconsciously wanted to say that it was safer in the city, but the problem was that he suddenly thought of the Gem of Life. Yes, he thought that it was safer in the city, but now that he had the gem, the safest place seemed to be next to the gem. As long as he was next to the gem, he would be completely safe.
"You understand, as long as you follow the gem, your safety will be guaranteed. But in the city, it's not necessarily the case. After all, although the city seems to be safer, it can be attacked at any time. Think about it, the enemy might have more than one unit. Although we have only noticed one unit, there might be more that we haven't noticed. If there is such a unit, and we take all the soldiers in the city with us, it will be even more dangerous to defend, "Li Huailin said.
"This … indeed …" Li Huailin's words had no basis, but of course, the King was very worried. After all, it was his own life. He didn't know much about military matters, so he really couldn't be sure if the enemy had split up their troops for a surprise attack.
"And now that Your Majesty has brought the soldiers to battle, the morale of the soldiers will be even higher, and the effect will be greater," Li Huailin continued, "Also, isn't this a good opportunity to increase your reputation?"
"Reputation!" When Li Huailin mentioned this, the King's eyes lit up. Yes, in this era of war, most countries were warlike, and it was the same for the Human Empire. As a king, he also had an inferiority complex, and that was his military exploits. Yes, the previous kings all had illustrious military exploits. Even those who went to the military camp when they were young could be considered to have outstanding achievements. However, he was the only one who didn't have any military exploits. He had been in power since he was young, and when he came to power, he was only a teenager. He didn't have the time to go to the military camp to gain experience. After that, he had been handling government affairs, and he hadn't been involved in any military affairs. Although no one said anything about it, and no one dared to say anything, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, the current situation was a good opportunity for him. Think about it, at this time when the Empire, no, the entire Light Faction was in danger, if he bravely led his troops to attack the Dark Faction's main force and defeated them, he would become a hero. He could boast about this for the rest of his life. When that time came, he wouldn't have to worry about people asking about his military achievements, because the whole world would know that he was the greatest hero.
"You're right." Thinking of this, the King immediately replied. "This time, I must personally lead the army! I will lead the soldiers to defeat the Dark Faction's main force! "
"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" Hearing the King's words, the ministers next to him were a little anxious. In their opinion, this was a very dangerous action.
"It's okay, I believe that Sir won't be in danger." The King believed in Li Huailin. After all, if Li Huailin wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have to wait until he left the city. He could do it now. "There's no need to say more. It's decided."
"Yes … Your Majesty." Hearing the King say so, the others didn't stop him. Although they were worried, they didn't think that there was any problem with Li Huailin's words. After all, they had seen the power of the Gem of Life with their own eyes.
Previously, Li Huailin had already asked Cisco and Sim to start gathering the troops. Of course, they were making some progress now. Now that the King had given an official order, of course, they had to speed up. After Li Huailin had tricked the group of people, he continued to look at the God Slayer next to him.
"Now you understand my bargaining chip, right?" Li Huailin said to the God Slayer.
"The points that I want are with you, right?" The God Slayer of course understood what Li Huailin meant. The reason why he asked the group of high officials to attack was to bring the points that he wanted to farm with him. However, the God Slayer didn't say anything to stop Li Huailin from tricking them.
"I can give you the points of these people," Li Huailin said. "Of course, it's not for free. I need your cooperation."
"Sure." The God Slayer answered very simply. Yes, when Li Huailin was tricking them, he had already considered the situation. He could basically guess what Li Huailin was thinking, so he answered rather quickly. "I can help you, and I can vote for you, but I have a condition."
"Oh? What is it? "Li Huailin asked.
"I need you to guarantee that I can pass this round of trial," the God Slayer said. The Godslayer said, "I can't lose here, so as long as you can help me pass this round, I'll listen to you."
"Hmm … sure." Li Huailin thought for a while and replied.
"If I find out that you can't keep your promise, I may go back on my word at any time," the God Slayer said. "Now we are just cooperating. I didn't join your side."
"Then I hope we can have a good cooperation," Li Huailin said immediately.
"I hope so," the God Slayer replied.
