The Yuanying Realm Cultivators and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were all shocked by Long Yangjun's whimsical yet reasonable suggestion. They all had weird expressions on their faces.
They were not surprised that Long Yangjun had proposed such a proposal, but they were surprised that they had not thought of it earlier.
"Thirdly, as the saying goes, when the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit. Only if we infiltrate the Federation will we be able to take the initiative in the war between the Imperium and the Federation!"
Glowing with confidence, Long Yangjun went on. "Rare goods are worth hoarding. Right now, the Imperium and the Federation are both potential 'buyers'. Why should we sell ourselves in a hurry before we see their 'wealth'?
"Sneak into the Federation and watch the tigers fight. While we learn the war potential of the two parties, we learn their tactics and strategies, and we can even find a way to sneak into their important posts and determine the party that is more likely to win. Then, we will tempt the other party to make irresistible offers. After our conditions are met, we will launch thunderous attacks on the other party at the most critical moment!
"In such a way, we will be able to fight for the greatest interests for the Ancient Sages Sector and ourselves. We will also be able to choose our targets freely without worrying that we will be used as cannon fodder by the Federation or the Imperium to break into the heavily-defended planetary fortresses. Isn't it killing three birds with one stone?
"Fourthly, if we can infiltrate the Federation, and the Federation fails in the war against the Imperium, chances are that we will be able to make a fortune and rob them of their votes in the chaos!"
Long Yangjun spoke without stopping to catch her breath. "The starships, the Crystal Suit, the Colossi, and other magical equipment of the Xing Yao Federation may not be the most advanced in the universe, but they are still very attractive to us!
"If we surrender to the Imperium right now and fight behind the Imperium like idiots, even if we do defeat the Federation, we will only get some leftovers when the trophies are distributed!
"In that case, we might as well make preparations in advance. We can sneak into the Federation, choose a target, and wait for an opportunity to attack. We can even blackmail the authorities of the Xing Yao Federation at the last moment!
"We can discuss the specific details later, but the idea is definitely correct!
"The four benefits mentioned above are absolutely impossible for us to get if we just sit in the Ancient Sages Sector and do nothing. What do you think, fellow Cultivators?"
There was nothing but silence on both sides of the table. Everybody was dumbfounded!
However, when Long Yangjun talked about observing the politics, economy, culture, and military of the Xing Yao Federation, Qi Zhongdao's head head, he could not help but nod.
When she mentioned 'betting on the side with a higher chance of winning', Wu Suiyun seemed to be deep in thought.
Long Yangjun's's's Face's's's eyes eyes were beaming, especially Heaven King's's's, especially Heaven Battering King Qi was, Heaven Battering King, was almost almost cheering Long Yangjun '!
Meng Chixin, the host of the meeting, was deep in thought. He pondered for a long time and said, "Fellow Cultivator Wang's proposal is indeed innovative and shocking! These four benefits are indeed of utmost importance to us, who are currently 'blind and riding blind'! "
"However, as a result, we will be marching into the Ancient Sages Sector on our own, and we will be cut off from the Ancient Sages Sector for at least a year and a half. Isn't it too risky?"
After hearing that, many Yuanying nodded their heads. They were all concerned about that.
Although the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were all dominators of their own regions, they had never stepped out of the Ancient Sages Sector in their entire lives. They were out-and-out bumpkins, and bumpkins from the ancient times who were ten thousand years behind the times!
Long Yangjun's plan to infiltrate the modern Cultivation civilization on her own had indeed made them feel that there were thorns in their backs. They were all on pins and needles.
"It seems that the three days of analysis and study have not been enough for you to think it through, fellow Cultivators!"
Long Yangjun's voice gradually turned cold, but the aura around her was getting stronger and stronger. "You all think that the Ancient Sages Sector is our nest, haven, and strongest shield, and that we will be safe as long as we hide in the Ancient Sages Sector. You couldn't be more wrong!
"Based on the situation right now, the Ancient Sages Sector is not a strong shield for us. It is even an unbreakable shackle that has completely locked up our real strength. If we hide in this place, we will only be killed forever!"
"Let me ask you, fellow Cultivators. What do you think our 'source of strength' is? What do the twelve of us count on to control the Ancient Sages Sector?
"Is it our power, our subordinates, the Cultivation sects outside, and the tribes large and small in the desolate lands nearby?
"Of course not!"
"The source of our strength and the thing with which we control the Ancient Sages Sector is our unparalleled combat strength and the twelve Colossi!
"As long as our unparalleled combat strength is still there, the twelve Colossi will be able to trigger the most destructive power. Wherever we are, we will be able to return and control the Ancient Sages Sector easily!
"On the other hand, what's the use of us hiding in the Ancient Sages Sector and hanging out with the selfish, shortsighted guys of the major sects outside? Are those swine really qualified to be our shield instead of stabbing us in the back? "
Long Yangjun's cold voice was like ice blades that had been nailed to the dining table.
She bashed the table hard and continued. "In the past three days, according to the intelligence that Heiye Lan provided, I have carefully studied the combat styles of the unparalleled experts in the sea of stars, only to discover that they are entirely different from what we used to do in the past!
"If the twelve of us stay in the Ancient Sages Sector, we will be burdened by the mountains, rivers, and thousands of 'compatriots' here. We will be shackled and sealed, and we will not be able to carry out the slightest of our abilities even if we are capable of doing anything!
"Our enemies can simply summon a large batch of warships from the sea of stars and bombard our world with 'star destroyers', 'rail cannons', and 'destructive cannons' from far away. What can we do except take the beating passively and be burnt to a pulp or crawl into a hole and cry for help?
"Under such circumstances, we will not be able to carry out one percent of our combat ability!
"In the second scenario, if we leave the Ancient Sages Sector and encounter the fleets of the modern Cultivation civilizations in space and launch a head-on attack —
"It is impossible for us to train our Colossi to the level of integration with nature and human beings. Each of us can fight three to five starships head-on at best. All of us together will only be a 'medium-sized fleet' of almost a hundred starships. Logistic supplies have not been taken into account yet!
"Under such circumstances, we will not be able to withstand the exhaustion of a head-on battle even if we are only a hundred percent of our combat ability!
"However, consider the third scenario. If we march into the enemy's rear, sneak into the enemy's towns, and mingle with the enemy's people, the situation will be greatly different!
"According to Heiye Lan, the big cities of the Imperium of True Human Beings often boast tens of millions of people. They are complicated super mazes! I believe that, although the cities of the Xing Yao Federation are smaller in scale, there should still be a population of ten to twenty million!
"If the twelve of us can sneak into the cities of the Xing Yao Federation that boast a population of ten to twenty million, lock onto the most populated areas, or the facilities that are of paramount importance, and attack them suddenly, how much damage will we cause?
"Also, if we are in the enemy's heartland, they will hesitate to attack us. It is impossible for them to annihilate us without caring about the cost.
"They can bombard the surface of the Ancient Sages Sector with their 'star destroyers', but can they blow up their own cities with tens of millions of people? Even if they do raze the cities with tens of millions of people to the ground, they might not be able to kill us!
"In such a case, our survivability, assault ability, endurance ability, and ability to negotiate with the enemy will all be significantly improved!
"It is very possible that our combat ability will be increased to ten thousand points!
"In conclusion, my opinion is that, in a battle in the environment of the modern Cultivation civilization, the Yuanying Cultivators and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators should not fight head-on, positional, or defensive battles with the enemy stupidly. Instead, they should go deep into the enemy's rear and make full use of their advantage of personal strength with guerilla warfare, unrestricted warfare, decapitation tactics, and asymmetric tactics!
"The tactics mentioned above are all mentioned in Heiye Lan's jade chips. You should be able to understand what they mean. I don't need to repeat them, do I?
"Therefore, in the game of the Imperium, the Federation, and the Ancient Sages Sector, as the weakest of the three forces, we should not defend the Ancient Sages Sector stupidly and wait for the enemy's starships to bombard us. Instead, we should release ourselves and our Colossi and infiltrate the enemy's internal organs so that we can play a greater, more limitless role!
"I'm done. What do you think?"
"…"
Including Li Yao, everybody stared at Long Yangjun in bewilderment. Nobody said anything for a long time.
Long Yangjun slightly frowned. "Fellow Cultivators, do you still think that I'm indulging in fantasy? If you have anything to say, just say it! "
"I dare not speak my mind."
Han Baling, the dominator of the prairies, was the first to come back to himself. Taking a long breath in relief, he said with a bitter smile, "Lord Wang, although we have known each other for a long time, it is not until today that I understand why you were able to command the court of the Great Qian Dynasty for decades without collapsing!"
