Li Yao complimented Jin Tuyi with glamorous brilliance beaming out of his eyes. "I don't know why your father never told the other demon emperors about the plan. Perhaps it was because the competition among the demon emperors in the four major demon kingdoms was very fierce, and neither the Gold Crow Kingdom nor your father himself was the strongest. If he had told them about the plan, he would've lost the control of the entire plan.
"But it was more likely that your father was a very proud man deep down in his heart. He despised the simple and crude tactics of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers and the Nether Spring Kingdom that invaded the Grand Desolate Plateau from the Dark Desolate Domain and swept everything on the continent. He thought that all the demon emperors except himself were useless teammates. The Red Tide Plan, which was based on 'top secrets', could not be known by the useless teammates, nor could it be controlled by the useless teammates!
"Your father wanted to win the war and conquer the Tian Yuan Realm on his own!"
Li Yao recalled Yan Xibei, the mastermind of the scheme on Iron Plateau in the Flying Star Sector.
Jin Tuyi and Yan Xibei seemed to be the same kind of people. They both wanted to reverse the situation on their own.
To some extent, was Li Yao not the same?
It was exactly because they were of the same kind that he could guess what the other party was thinking precisely.
Li Yao continued. "However, even if the Eye of Blood Demon was successfully produced, the Red Tide Plan was still faced with the problem of gathering an army.
"To assault the capital of the Xing Yao Federation, a lot of troops and strategic assets would be required. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be gathered. Almost all the demon kings and demon emperors would be mobilized. It would be impossible to keep the plan a secret!
"Therefore, in order to cover the real Red Tide Plan, your father proposed the seemingly aggressive 'Fake Red Tide Plan' that was in fact riddled with loopholes. He misled everybody with the 'secret wormholes and counterattack bases of the Far East Demon Kingdom'!"
"In such a case, even if the Xing Yao Federation does discover that the elites of the Blood Demon Sector are gathering in an unusual way, they will only concentrate all their forces on the East Ocean. We will try our best to keep the enemy out of our country. We will never allow the Coalition Army of Demons to come ashore and run amok in the important cities of the southeast! "
"Little did they know that the Coalition Army of Demons didn't need to land at all. They won't be entangled in the coastal cities at all. Instead, they'll be teleported directly to the capital city! "
"The capital city of the Xing Yao Federation is not only the political center of the country, but also a training center and an important base for the production of magical equipment. There are more than 220 companies that have set up their headquarters in the capital. There are also the largest Crystal Storage Warehouse, Crystal Suit Refinery Factory, and four out of the Nine Elite Academies! "
"Once the capital is attacked, it will definitely be a fatal blow!"
Li Yao took a deep breath. The brilliance in his eyes was changing nonstop, as if he were picturing the Coalition Army of Demons sabotaging the capital city and the capital city on fire.
Narrowing his eyes, he mumbled, "Everything is ready except for the east wind. Your father has been lurking for decades. Today, all the favorable conditions have finally been gathered!
"First of all, after the integration of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector has been going on for so many years, the 'distance' between the two Sectors is even shorter than ten years ago. More gaps have been squeezed on the thin 'eggshell', which is enough for the Eye of Blood Demon to play its role and teleport thousands of soldiers to the center of the capital city precisely.
"Secondly, the failure of the Battle of Dawn. The land-based forces of the Blood Demon Sector were temporarily forced to retreat. Your father was made the commander of the Coalition Army of Demons, which gave him a legitimate reason to mobilize all the resources and troops of the Blood Demon Sector!
"Thirdly, the emergence of the Flying Star Sector. The Blood Demon Sector was highly united and obedient to your father's command. He also had enough excuses to activate the 'Red Tide Plan'!
"Perhaps, in the eyes of most people, the so-called 'Red Tide Plan' is nothing more than a gambler who has lost too much. It's a crazy last resort, a desperate attempt after being forced into a dead end! "
"But they do not know that the 'gambler' who appears to be insane actually has the calmest and most meticulous heart. The 'national war' is definitely not a cornered beast but a shocking attack that has been carefully calculated and planned for decades!"
Jin Xinyue was fascinated. When Li Yao mentioned 'shocking attack', her pupils constricted violently, as if her heart had really been pierced through by a sword!
Li Yao sighed. "From the standpoint of a citizen of the Federation, I feel lucky that such a dreadful enemy as your father was born in the Gold Crow Kingdom, which ranks at the bottom of the four major demon kingdoms, instead of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers or the Nether Spring Kingdom, which are much stronger. I feel lucky that he has not been given the command of the Coalition Army of Demons until this moment, instead of twenty years ago.
"If he had been the ruler of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers or the Nether Spring Kingdom, and if he had become the commander of the Coalition Army of Demons twenty years ago, perhaps the Xing Yao Federation would've been gone by now!"
Li Yao finished his speech and licked his lips, as if he had not had enough yet. His eyes pierced through Jin Xinyue, the rocks, and the sky of Heavenly Path City almost a hundred kilometers away.
He seemed to be able to see the man lurking in the commander-in-chief's residence of the Coalition Army of Demons, the most dreadful demon!
Exhilarating!
It was truly exhilarating to compete with such an expert!
Jin Xinyue frowned harder and harder. She felt that there was a swirl inside her brain that was almost swallowing all her brain cells.
Before her head was completely messed up, she extended her hands and slashed the air brutally!
"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait!
"Master, your story is indeed marvelous and marvelous, as if you had been attached to my father's body for decades and witnessed everything with your own eyes!
"However, from what I've heard, everything is just your speculation, Master. It does not seem to be supported by any solid evidence!"
"Good question!"
Li Yao nodded heavily and said solemnly, "Everything I've said is pure fiction. I'm just telling a story."
Jin Xinyue: "…"
"However," Li Yao said, "although it is fiction, I have chosen the most reasonable possibility based on the known information and inferred it step by step. It is not entirely a fabrication."
"That's exactly the problem," Jin Xinyue said. "Even if you have chosen the most reasonable possibility in every inference, 'possibilities' are still 'possibilities' after all. Even if every 'possibility' is only 5% off, how big will the error be when dozens of 'possibilities' are added together? Are you 50% sure that the whole inference is true or false? "
"Not really."
Li Yao shook his head. "I'm only 30% sure about everything I've said. That's why I've come to Heavenly Path City to confirm it with your father."
Jin Xinyue was dazed. "Confirm? How can you confirm such a thing? Can you simply ask my father, Senior Jin, if the Red Tide Plan on the surface is fake and the real Red Tide Plan is related to the Eye of Blood Demon? "
"Exactly."
Li Yao nodded matter-of-factly. "That's exactly what I'm asking."
Jin Xinyue stood up. "What?"
Li Yao opened a light beam and replayed his conversation with Jin Tuyi. "Take a closer look."
Jin Xinyue craned her head and bulged her eyes, staring at her father on the light beam.
Li Yao, on the other side of the picture, was shouting incoherently in exasperation, "You are planning to ask part of the main force of the Coalition Army of Demons and a lot of cannon fodder to pretend that all the main force is out and invade the Tian Yuan Realm from the Dark Desolate Domain to the Grand Desolate Plateau and the Giant Blade Pass through the 'regular route'!
"But it is fake. It is not the main force but a feint!
"Your real plan is to ask all the elites of the Coalition Army of Demons and all the demon emperors to travel to the coastal counterattack bases left by the Far East Demon Kingdom in the past through the Eye of Blood Demon and stab into the heart of the Federation, right?"
"Shua!"
Jin Xinyue paused the picture and replayed it. She listened to it again and mumbled, "That's really what Master asked. He really mentioned 'Eye of Blood Demon'!"
"Of course!"
Li Yao said. "I'm a straightforward man. If there's anything I don't understand, just ask. There's no need to be secretive!"
"But —"
Jin Xinyue held her breath and continued watching.
Her father, Jin Tuyi, did not even bat an eyelash. His facial nerves seemed to have been frozen, and there was not the slightest change in his expression. He said casually, "Don't try to elicit information from me. I won't tell you any details about the war plan."
Jin Xinyue narrowed her eyes. Gold brilliance beamed out of her pupils and revolved quickly. She watched the picture carefully several times.
"My father did not answer your question!"
"I know that an expert such as Master must be very good at reading micro-expressions. When I was in the Pantheon of Demons, I learned how to tell the truth by observing the twitching muscles on other people's faces, the dilation and constriction of pupils, and even the frequency of breathing and the speed of secretion of sweat!
"But my father, as a demon emperor, had the best control over his every muscle. I'm certain that when my master threw out 'Eye of Blood Demon', his' micro-expression 'did not change at all. It was like the surface of a frozen lake without the slightest ripple.
"Therefore, what kind of answer did you read from my father's tranquil face to confirm your deduction, Master?"
Li Yao smiled cunningly. Holding his arms, he appreciated Jin Tuyi's cold face on the light beam again. He shook his head and said, "Like you, I read nothing."
"Your father is truly an expert among experts. His manipulation of facial muscles has reached a marvelous level. He can control 'micro-expressions' at will. Even the trembling of his eyelashes and the smallest constriction of his pupils are highly controllable."
