In the military headquarters building in Mokedan, people walked into the conference room one after another. The conference room was not spacious. After all, before Allen attacked Mokedan, this fortress city had been very peaceful. The military headquarters building and conference rooms were all suitable for the occasion, especially the conference room, which was used pitifully few times.
With so many people suddenly pouring in, the conference room seemed crowded.
The people who entered the conference room were naturally divided into two groups, with a clear distinction between them. They were divided into the former imperial generals and high-ranking officers led by Melani, as well as Allen's followers and the generals of the Forgotten Realm. Besides these two groups, there were also the two guild leaders, Lu Qi and Jia Ya.
The last to enter was Allen. Even with his current status, he was only given a slightly larger chair in the conference room. Allen sat down, scanned the crowd, and nodded. "You can begin."
He looked at Melani, who stood up and tapped a few times on the tablet she carried with her, causing a holographic projection to appear in front of everyone. Soon, two holographic images were formed from piercing beams of light. Even though it was only a digital image, everyone present felt an invisible pressure.
After all, what appeared in front of them were the images of two Imperial Great Generals.
"This time, the Black Ball and the Black Cat Guild provided us with information, allowing us to learn the identities of the two Imperial Great Generals ahead of time." Melani nodded to Lu Qi and Jia Ya, and then her finger moved slightly, causing one of the images to expand. "Lord Allen should not be familiar with Imperial Great Generals, so let me briefly introduce these two Great Generals. First of all, this is Ganli, who is known as the Mad Demon. General Ganli, his full nickname should be? ?? A?? Zhi Zhi Fang? Yao Tukang Aluminum Palanquin Call?? Ren Yi?? Yu Pao Huai? Sang Jun?
Zhuo De's face was ashen, and he said nothing. The other surrendered general, Smoker, could only say, "Ganli's fighting strength can only be considered average among the Great Generals, but his cruelty is only one of Bali's. In addition, Bali is only violent and bloodthirsty on the battlefield, but Ganli is a complete monster. What he likes to do the most is to torture his opponents. He even tortured a defenseless woman for 30 days before letting her die. I also heard that he ate the flesh of his enemies, but I don't know if it's true or not. "
"In short, I would rather die at the hands of Baal than be a prisoner of Ganley."
"A pervert with a twisted mind?" Alan looked at the image of Ganley. The Baltic could not see the information that Smoker had described from the outside, and it was even the opposite of what Smoker had said. His appearance in the image was very elegant, but his eyes were indeed a little abnormal.
Melanie coughed lightly and said, "General Smoker has already explained everything in detail, so I don't need to … Aluminum Pardon P? Hooked Brooch Pouch? The world? How can I take off my chaff toes? He Xie Wu? Retraction? Retreat? What is this? Chi Chi is addicted to Dai Lei!
"As for the other general, I believe that everyone who originally belonged to the Empire will not be familiar with him. Yes, he was Mirion. The general known as the Lightning Devil, the elder brother of the dead General Lubit. I'm not surprised that he would appear in this army. "Melanie gave Allen a deep look.
Allen twitched his lips and said, "Don't tell me they have a deep friendship?"
Mirion was sitting in the image, but he was sitting in an incomparably domineering manner. This Imperial Great General's figure was well-proportioned, but it was definitely not muscular. However, that domineering aura came from his bones. Although it was only an image, the appearance of his eyes emitting lightning was definitely unforgettable.
"Just as his nickname describes, Mirion's abilities are related to lightning. In a thunderstorm, his strength will be amplified to the greatest extent. Of course, as long as he is willing, Mirion can artificially create thunderstorms. Among the Imperial Great Generals, he is ranked second, only slightly inferior to the number one general, Blade Demon Garin, who has challenged Shadow Fortress three times and survived. "
Allen was a little surprised. "Garin? It sounds like she's a woman?"
"Correct. The number one general, Blade Demon, is truly a woman. She is as beautiful as a flower and as sharp as a blade. She is also the only other Imperial Great General besides former General Frius who dared to challenge that person. " Melanie paused for a moment, then continued, "The only difference is that Frius is now a different supreme, while Garin is still serving that person in Shadow Fortress."
Melanie said, "Okay, the only ones worth paying attention to are these two Great Generals. As for the other Imperial Great Generals, I believe that Lord Allen doesn't care about them. My work ends here. As for how to deal with them, strategy is not my forte, so I'll leave it to Milord and the other Great Generals. "
After he sat down, Allen leaned forward and said, "The Empire has sent two Great Generals this time, giving me enough face. Fortunately, one of them is a freak ranked in the middle, while the other is ranked second, but it's still better than the number one general coming personally. So there's no harm in relaxing and thinking about how to deal with these two Great Generals and a hundred thousand soldiers. "
Allen spoke easily, but how many people in the room were truly relaxed? Not to mention Lightning Demon Miriam, who was ranked above Bali, just Mad Demon Ganli was not an easy character to deal with. Even if he was ranked in the middle, even if he was ranked at the bottom, as long as he controlled Void Origin Energy, how could he be a weakling?
They were weak, but it was only compared to a super expert like Allen.
Two Imperial Great Generals, many generals, and an army of one hundred thousand. No matter how one looked at it, this lineup could be called luxurious. However, Allen's forces were not weak, and there were also many experts, even at the Great General level. Putting aside Allen, who had killed Bali, there were still Bronze Martial and Twilight.
However, Twilight had provoked Allen and was currently recuperating from her injuries. She was not unable to take action, but her combat strength had been reduced.
Whether it was the army or the strength of the experts, the two sides could be said to be evenly matched. However, Allen no longer had any trump cards to reveal, but the empire's side had a deep foundation. He was afraid that if he killed this wave of troops, there would still be an endless stream of troops coming from the empire.
Moreover, the supreme being in Demon Ring City was the greatest shadow in everyone's hearts that they could not get rid of.
The people on Allen's side were better, but the old subordinates of the empire like Zhuo De were quite afraid. After the two surrendered generals exchanged their opinions, Zhuo De coughed dryly and said, "Lord Allen, we don't think it's appropriate for us to take the initiative in this battle. The strength of both sides is roughly equal, and we won't have much of an advantage even if we take the initiative to attack. It's better to rely on Mokedan to defend to the death. With Mokedan's defense, we can drag the enemy out of the city. "
Smoker added, "Right now, the empire is at war with Dobia on the eastern front, so I'm sure that the empire won't want to hold on to our border for too long. If we can't end the war in a short period of time, then we can only negotiate. At that time, Lord Allen will be able to fight for more territory and resources. "
The two generals' words were immediately supported by the old subordinates of the empire. Allen could understand their thoughts. These people, including Smoker, were worried about one problem. He was afraid that the limelight on Mokedan's side would be too strong, attracting the attention of the Demon King Spenak, or even letting the Demon King personally come. That would definitely be a devastating blow.
Allen also knew this, and now he had to maintain a balance. It was no exaggeration to say that he was dancing on the tip of a knife as soon as possible before he reached Spenak's bottom line. If he wasn't careful, blood would definitely splatter everywhere.
"Tong Wu, what do you think?" Allen looked at the generals of the Forgotten Realm.
As the leader of the generals, since Allen had thrown the words at him, there was no reason for him not to answer. However, this person had always been taciturn, and after listening, he only said one sentence, "Retreating will only help the enemy's flames. I only know that only when the enemy is afraid will they be obedient."
The generals of the Lost Realm had always been afraid of them, and they had never shown weakness. The proposals of the old subordinates of the empire weren't to their liking. Now that they were following Tong Wu's lead, they immediately won a round of cheers.
Smoker and Zhuo De exchanged glances. The former held his forehead, while the latter shook his head.
Following that, the two sides argued endlessly about whether to defend or fight. Even Hubble joined the ranks of the main fighters. As for the old subordinates of the empire, only Melanie remained silent. For a moment, the meeting room was incomparably lively, and the people on both sides were just short of fighting.
As the two sides argued until their faces were red, a light cough sounded. Although the voice was soft, it suppressed the voices of the crowd. The one who made the sound was naturally Allen, so Smoker and Tong Wu raised their hands in unison, stopping the people on their side from continuing to argue. Everyone's eyes fell on Allen.
Allen flicked his fingers on the table and wasn't in a hurry to speak. Listening to the rhythmic sound of his fingers, the mood of the people in the meeting room gradually calmed down. Only when their heartbeats were in sync with the movement of his fingers did he say with a smile, "Actually, all of you have a point."
"Smoker and the other generals are afraid that Mokedan will be too conspicuous and attract the interference of that person in the Shadow Fortress. There's probably nothing worse than that." Allen continued, "But Tong Wu is also right. Isn't it always the one with the bigger fist in Agares who calls the shots? If we keep retreating, I feel that even if we force the empire to the negotiating table, we might not be able to fight for more benefits. "
Hearing this, the people on both sides revealed thoughtful expressions.
Zhuo De frowned and said, "Then what do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"Take the initiative to fight, and let the empire know that we don't fear a strong enemy." Allen's gaze fell on the projections of the two Imperial Great Generals, "But how to fight, and to what extent, needs to be considered. Personally, I think that beating the opponent to the ground without crippling him should be about right. "
Melanie very timely asked, "May I ask, Your Excellency, what counts as beating the opponent to the ground, and what counts as crippling?"
"It's very simple. Leaving behind two Great Generals, I believe that no matter what, should be enough to crush the morale of the opponent. As for crippling them, that naturally means leaving behind the Imperial Great Generals and most of the army. " Allen faintly smiled and nodded at the two projections, saying, "Then, does anyone have any other opinions?"
Everyone in the meeting room whispered to each other, and with Smoker and Tong Wu as the representatives, the two said in unison, "No."
