"The Red Tide Plan is the final battle plan that my father has dedicated his life to. Hehe. If we are being honest, I feel that the Red Tide Plan is his real 'child', and his blood descendants like us are nothing more than tools."
Jin Xinyue bit her pale lips so hard that deep teeth marks were left. Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "My father foresaw a long time ago that the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector would have a war. However, the two Sectors are both very capable and have a lot of potential. It is almost impossible for either Sector to conquer the other Sector. The most likely outcome is that both parties will suffer heavy losses and be reduced to ashes.
"Therefore, my father has been exploring how to conquer the Tian Yuan Realm at the highest speed and the lowest cost since decades ago. The result of his research is the Red Tide Plan.
"The specific details are the most confidential of the top secrets. I'm afraid that my father is the only one who knows them. But the general idea is to launch an attack from the east of the Xing Yao Federation, as I told the elder before."
Li Yao was deep in thought. "You said that the east of the Xing Yao Federation is the boundless Far East Ocean."
"Exactly."
Jin Xinyue nodded and said, "The convergence point of the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector is to the north of the Xing Yao Federation's Grand Desolate Plateau. Therefore, the northern frontline has always been the most solid defense line of the Xing Yao Federation. The Union Army has even militarized the entire Grand Desolate Plateau. More than eighty percent of the troops have been deployed to the Grand Desolate Plateau and the Giant Blade Pass.
"On the other hand, the coastal area to the southeast of the Xing Yao Federation is the most prosperous area. Since the 'Far East Demon Kingdom', a local demon force in the Tian Yuan Realm, was destroyed five hundred years ago, the southeast of the Xing Yao Federation has never been attacked again. After such a long time, the defense of the Xing Yao Federation has been more and more lax.
"As far as I know. The Red Tide Plan is divided into two parts. Firstly, a large-scale feint attack to the north of the Xing Yao Federation will be launched to stall the troops of the Xing Yao Federation as much as possible. When both parties were exhausted from the battle, the most elite naval and air special forces of the Blood Demon Sector arrived. They will surface in the eastern waters of the Xing Yao Federation and attack the most prosperous economic cities in the coastal areas. They will even attack the capital of the Xing Yao Federation directly! "
"This is the Red Tide Plan!"
"Sounds good."
Li Yao's pupils constricted, and he tried not to let the brilliance in his eyes leak out. "However, how are the special forces of the Blood Demon Sector going to the east of the Xing Yao Federation? What about an ambush at the bottom of the sea? "
"Junior does not know."
Jin Xinyue shook her head and said, "These details are all extremely confidential. My father doesn't trust me. Or rather, he doesn't trust anyone in this matter. How could he easily reveal it to the public? However, according to my guess, it is extremely likely that it is related to some of the ruins of the Far East Demon Kingdom. "
"It is said that before the destruction of the Far East Demon Kingdom. They once thought of opening a wormhole to the Blood Demon Sector so that they could ask for reinforcements from the Blood Demon Sector or escape to the Blood Demon Sector. But before they succeeded, the kingdom was already destroyed.
"Perhaps, my father had already opened the wormhole in secret and grasped the secret route to the rear of the Xing Yao Federation. Then, he established a series of 'undersea bases' with the war facilities left by the Far East Demon Kingdom."
Li Yao was sweating in shock. He asked coldly, "If so, why didn't your father activate the Red Tide Plan during the Battle of Dawn?"
Jin Xinyue did not suspect anything. She replied dutifully, "Perhaps it was because the wormhole was not stable at that time. The bases hadn't been completed yet. They could not support the operation of a large special forces, could they? You must know that. Such an assault was a battle in the enemy's rear after all. If it worked out, the gains would've been enormous. But if they were not careful, the entire army would've been wiped out. The fate of the nation and the race was at stake. My father had to be prudent.
"More importantly, the Feather Clan, the Sea Clan, the Insect Clan, and the Claw Clan hadn't reached an agreement yet.
"In the Blood Demon Sector, the war between land and sea has been going on for a long time. The army of the Insect Clan and the Claw Clan was the bait of the Red Tide Plan. Before the plan was activated, they had to resist the pressure of the Xing Yao Federation. It was not hard to imagine that they must've suffered heavy losses.
"Even if the Red Tide Plan worked out, it would be the Feather Clan and the Sea Clan who occupied the prosperous areas of the Xing Yao Federation. What benefits would the Insect Clan and the Claw Clan get?
"It was because of the opposition of the Insect Clan and the Claw Clan that the Red Tide Plan was shelved.
"Although the previous commander of the Blood Demon Sector who insisted on the continental doctrine resigned because of the disastrous failure of the Battle of Dawn, and my father was promoted because of it, it didn't mean that he could summon the forces of the Insect Clan and the Claw Clan at will. He was still constrained by the experts of various parties.
"The experts such as Elder Nether Spring and Elder Blood Robe did not object to the Red Tide Plan blindly. They believed that the Red Tide Plan could be a very good diversion plan. The Sea Clan and the Feather Clan would certainly be able to stall a lot of troops of the Xing Yao Federation if they launched an assault from the enemy's rear. But the main attack should be focused on the Giant Blade Pass in the north.
Li Yao understood it now. The competition of the main attack was also the competition of the distribution of interests after the war.
It was not hard to imagine that the party that was responsible for the 'feint attack' was destined to suffer heavy losses, while the party that was responsible for the 'main attack' was likely to occupy the prosperous areas of the Xing Yao Federation in advance.
When the two parties were eliminated, the balance between the sea and the land would be broken. One of the parties would inevitably be relegated to a marginal position.
Jin Xinyue rubbed her cold face slowly. There was no telling whether she was warming up her stiff muscles or hiding the glittering in her eyes, but she mumbled, "Elder Nether Spring is the leader of the party on the land. If he is willing to make concessions in certain aspects of the Red Tide Plan so that the Red Tide Plan can be implemented smoothly, my father, who considers the Red Tide Plan as his life, will certainly sell my daughter without blinking."
Li Yao licked his sharp canines softly and said, "Therefore, it is very likely that the Red Tide Plan has been activated, and the Blood Demon Sector has found a secret wormhole that leads to the ocean at the east of the Heaven's Origin Continent and is establishing a forward base on the undersea relics of the Far East Demon Kingdom?"
Jin Xinyue opened her hands and said, "That is just one possibility. There is another possibility, which is that my father is not aware of the matter and that my enemies are behind it."
Li Yao blinked and asked, "Is it possible?"
"It is very possible," Jin Xinyue said. "My father has just been elected as the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons, and he has to suppress the 'Riot of Bloody Blade'. There are too many things for him to do. Reorganizing the defeated soldiers in the 'Battle of Dawn' is already a huge headache for him. How can he do everything in person? It is perfectly normal that he makes a mistake in his judgment because of somebody's interference. "
"Why?" Li Yao asked. "Do you have a lot of enemies?"
"Let me think about it …"
Jin Xinyue was deep in thought. Biting her fingernail, she said, "There's no need to mention the Nether Spring Kingdom. I once killed a general of the Nether Spring Kingdom and stole some top-secret intelligence from the Nether Spring Kingdom.
"As for the Kingdom of Lion Butchers, they once had two princesses who were trained in the Pantheon of Demons with me. They were poisoned to death by me.
"As for the Sea Dominator Kingdom, I have no grudge against them. However, they once organized a plan to infiltrate the Tian Yuan Realm. I accidentally learned their intelligence and sold it to them. Later, I was told that their entire elite troop was annihilated in the Tian Yuan Realm.
"As for the Gold Crow Kingdom, I have a lot more enemies. However, the commander-in-chief of the Mirage Falcons is my big brother, Jin Wuxu. Strange. I'm quite close to him on the surface. Didn't we kill Old Seven together last time? Why did he want to kill me? Did he find out that I was the one who ordered the assassination of him last month? "
"…" Li Yao.
Jin Xinyue's eyelids were cramping nonstop. She mumbled, "My father didn't find out that I killed 'that', did he? If so, I'm screwed! "
"Who is' that '?" Li Yao asked.
"Elder," Jin Xinyue replied, "she is my father's legal wife."
Li Yao frowned. "Why did you want to kill her?"
Jin Xinyue was silent for a long time. Then she said, "Because she killed my mother and sent me to the Pantheon of Demons to be a saintess."
Before Li Yao said anything, Jin Xinyue smiled bitterly. Looking at her toes that were as red as blood, she went on. "Elder, you may not know this, but being a saintess of the Pantheon of Demons is not a good job at all.
"First of all, the girls who are chosen as' saintesses' are usually sent to the Pantheon of Demons for the harshest training when they are five or eight years old. The elimination rate is very high. By 'elimination', you are not allowed to go home; it is a synonym for 'death'.
"In any case, in my batch, the elimination rate was more than seventy percent. Most of the girls either died from being unable to bear the torture during the harsh training or from killing each other all the time."
"In that kind of environment, every girl has to rack their brains for survival. If I don't kill you, you'll kill me. Although I've killed many people with my poison, I've also been poisoned several times. If it weren't for luck, I wouldn't have been able to survive until today."
"Even if I luckily passed the perilous training and became a 'saintess trainee', I would still be engaged in the dangerous business of the Pantheon of Demons. It is needless to say what will happen if I fail. Even if I succeed, it is very likely that I will be silenced.
"In other words, the so-called 'saintesses' are actually a batch of female assassins and spies raised by the Pantheon of Demons. They are just a disguise for us.
"Even if you are lucky enough to distinguish yourself from the countless saintesses and become the 'Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens' of the Pantheon of Demons, you will still be a puppet in the hands of the twelve demon emperors. You will not have any real power at all. You may even become a scapegoat at any moment."
Li Yao raised his eyebrow. "A scapegoat?"
"Exactly."
Jin Xinyue sneered. "According to the legends, the noble Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens boasted the ability to communicate with the primeval demons. Therefore, whenever a natural disaster happened in the Blood Demon Sector, it was possible that the Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens would be 'sacrificed' to please the gods.
"After the failure of the Battle of Dawn, the Dark Lady of the Nine Heavens was sacrificed just like that. As for the commander who was really responsible for it, he simply admitted his mistake and resigned. He was not hurt at all. When the trouble was over, he would climb up again with a new face!
