The more she talked, the more excited Jin Xinyue became. She was shivering as she rambled, "Yes. I've been wondering how a wormhole established five hundred years ago could have remained stable for such a long time without being discovered by the people of the Federation right next to it. Also, how large was the wormhole? Could it teleport thousands of soldiers instantly?
"If it was not the wormhole of the Far East Demon Kingdom but the Eye of Blood Demon, everything would make sense now!
"As it turns out, the real Red Tide Plan was to teleport the elites of the Coalition Army of Demons to the counterattack base of the Far East Demon Kingdom in the East Ocean of the Xing Yao Federation with the Eye of Blood Demon!"
"You're wrong again."
Li Yao said calmly, "You made exactly the same mistake that I made at the beginning.
"When I thought of the Eye of Blood Demon, I thought that your father would teleport all the elites to the East Ocean of the Xing Yao Federation through it, too.
"But very soon, I realized that I was too stupid. Too stupid!
"If the Eye of Blood Demon could really break the barrier between the two worlds, why would it have chosen the East Ocean of the Xing Yao Federation? Why didn't it teleport to the capital of the Xing Yao Federation directly and cut its throat with an arrow through its heart? "
Jin Xinyue was completely shocked by the dreadful idea!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Li Yao's hands, which were shivering because of excitement, quickly turned on almost ten light beams, displaying the map of the southeast of the Xing Yao Federation.
Pointing at the zigzagging coastline on the map and a few light spots that marked the metropolises, he said, "Look. This is the terrain of the southeast of the Xing Yao Federation.
"It can be clearly seen on the map that the capital city of the Federation is not directly next to the ocean. It is hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline. Between the capital city and the East Ocean, there are quite a few major cities, such as Floating Spear City, Purple Cloud City, Soaring Cloud Special District, and so on. They are all famous training centers of the Federation and the headquarters of countless Cultivation sects.
"Even though there are not many regular troops and experts, there are still a lot of civilians. However, there are a lot of martial artists and cultivators among the people. "
"According to the Red Tide Plan on the surface, after the Coalition Army of Demons disembarks from the East Sea of the Federation, they must first destroy a series of major cities such as Floating Spear City, Zixiao City, Lingyun Special District, and so on. Only then can we attack the capital of the Federation! "
"However weak the rear of the Federation is, and however strong the elites of the Coalition Army of Demons are, how long will it take them to break into the headquarters of the major cities and the Cultivation sects? One had to know that at that time, the martial artists and cultivators in these places were all very strong. They will definitely risk their lives to stop the Coalition Army of Demons! "
"One day? Two days?"
"It must be noted that Cultivators can move very fast. It is not a problem for a Core Formation Stage Cultivator or a Yuanying Cultivator to travel thousands of kilometers in a day on a flying sword. Once the news that the Coalition Army of Demons has landed spreads out, the Cultivators will definitely be able to return to the frontline in the capital city in only a few days even if the main army does not have enough time to reinforce them!
"There is a possibility that is even more dreadful!
"The Federation has been aware of the Red Tide Plan for a long time. A lot of soldiers have been gathered at the eastern coastline of the Federation. They are preparing to launch a head-on attack the moment the Coalition Army of Demons teleports over. They will annihilate all of you on the beach, just like in the ancient wars!
"Think about it. Even you know about the Red Tide Plan. Is it some kind of top secret? Why is it that the Xing Yao Federation knows nothing about it?
"Therefore, after the super teleportation array such as the Eye of Blood Demon was established, why would they teleport all the soldiers to the East Sea of the Xing Yao Federation?
"The original theory was that the exit of the secret wormhole of the Far East Demon Kingdom was in the East Sea, and that there were counterattack bases deep inside the East Sea.
"But as we have analyzed just now, neither of the two theories is valid. The wormhole and the counterattack bases are both groundless things!
"Therefore, I have inferred the real Red Tide Plan!
"The feint troops that were projected to the north of the Grand Desolate Plateau were indeed fake. Luring the tiger away from the mountain. "
"However, the Far East Demon Kingdom and the counterattack base on the southern front are also fake. They are all smoke bombs, a second layer of strategic deception hidden under the first layer of strategic deception. It is a second layer of strategic deception after luring the tiger away from the mountain!"
"If the Xing Yao Federation believes that we are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain the first time and place their main forces in the Giant Blade Pass and the vast wilderness, that would be great."
"If the Xing Yao Federation has already found out about the Red Tide Plan on the surface, then the Red Tide Plan would have been exposed long ago. If they think that the Coalition Army of Demons is going to use the East Sea wormhole and ambush most of their main forces on the eastern coastline, preparing to surround and annihilate the elites of the Coalition Army of Demons, they are destined to gain nothing. "
"Because your father, Jin Tuyi, the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons, never intended to disembark from the East Sea in such a silly way.
"His real plan is to teleport the elites of the Coalition Army of Demons, dozens of demon emperors, and hundreds of devilish warships to the capital city of the Xing Yao Federation through the Eye of Blood Demon, the super teleportation array. If possible, they will even be teleported to the rostrum of the parliament of the Federation!
"This is the ultimate version of the Red Tide Plan that has been lurking in the deepest part of your father's brain!"
Jin Xinyue's breath and blood were almost frozen instantly.
Li Yao, on the other hand, seemed to have just had a remote duel with an unparalleled expert. He was sweating so delightfully that steam was rising and condensing into a vague mist above his head.
"Did you know? Since the moment you mentioned the Red Tide Plan, I've had a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart," he said, not entirely satisfied.
"I felt that one of my feet had stepped on a trap, and that I would fall into a bottomless abyss if I took half a step forward!
"After thinking hard for dozens of nights, I finally figured out the source of my uneasiness. It was because the Red Tide Plan on the surface was too simple, crude, and easy to be cracked!
"As the saying goes, a son is like his father. Even you, a junior in the demon king level and a little witch of the Pantheon of Demons, had the courage to compete with me. Was that all your father, Jin Tuyi, was capable of? Did he not see how hilarious the Red Tide Plan on the surface was?
"It was not until a few days ago that I completely figured out the real Red Tide Plan that was hiding in the darkness and could pierce through the heart with an arrow and slash the throat with a saber that the uneasiness in my heart was finally gone!
"The unstable wormholes in the Far East Demon Kingdom, the bases for counterattacks, and the destruction of several metropolises of the Federation in a row … Such problems never existed in the first place! They were all camouflages and smoke bombs! They were all illusions that your father tossed out!
"The original target of the Red Tide Plan, and the only target from the beginning to the end, was the capital of the Xing Yao Federation. The capital. The capital!
"This was the plan that the highest commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons should've made!"
Li Yao's face was red, and his veins were bulging out. His aggressive appearance made Jin Xinyue somewhat scared.
She could not help but move deeper into the cave and gasp in disbelief. "But isn't it too much of a coincidence? The most critical thing for my father's Red Tide Plan was a 'heavy slingshot', and he happened to find one? "
Li Yao extended his thumb and his index finger and made a gesture of twisting a screw. He twisted it clockwise first and then anticlockwise. "Reverse thinking. Show me your reverse thinking!
"From a normal perspective, your father conceived the Red Tide Plan, but the core of the plan was a 'heavy slingshot' that did not exist in the Blood Demon Sector. As it happened, the Blood Demon Sector did have a 'long distance slingshot', and your father happened to know how to modify it and completed the modification at the most critical moment … It seems too much of a coincidence.
"But what if we think the other way around?
"Can we assume that your father received the technology or heritage to produce a certain super teleportation array decades ago and then conceived the entire Red Tide Plan with the super teleportation technology as the core?"
Jin Xinyue's face was almost frowning. "Master, do you have any basis for your theory?"
Weird brilliance was beaming out of Li Yao's eyes. He seemed to be dismantling a piece of magical equipment at ease as he peeled off the components that were the size of grains of rice and laid them out clearly on the table.
"After I learned that your father was the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons, I knew that I would have to compete with him one day. Therefore, I tried my best to collect his files and figure out his personality. Also, after communicating with you for so many days, I learned a lot about him, too.
"As it turned out, I found something very interesting.
"As it turns out, the Feather Clan is the clan that is best at teleportation arrays and teleportation techniques in the Blood Demon Sector?"
Jin Xinyue nodded. "Speed is the most important thing for the Feather Clan. What can be faster and more mobile than teleportation arrays? Therefore, the Feather Clan has always attached great importance to the production of teleportation arrays. We have collected a lot of ancient teleportation arrays' diagrams and runes. "
"The twelve demon emperors of the Pantheon of Demons are each responsible for different fields," Li Yao continued. "Since decades ago, the exploration of the world fragments and the sea of stars in the Blood Demon Sector has been in your father's charge. In terms of the government of the Xing Yao Federation, your father is sort of the 'Minister of External Exploration and Development' of the Blood Demon Sector as well as the president of Occult Orbs Fellowship, right?"
It was not a top secret. Jin Xinyue nodded and said, "Since the Feather Clan is best at the construction of teleportation arrays, it is only natural that my father was in charge of the project. Although the titles were different, my father was indeed in charge of the project in the past few years. However, after he became the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons, he was no longer in charge of the project. What does it have to do with the Red Tide Plan?"
