At this point, the four of them laughed at the same time.
It was not that Dongfang Zhengyang was belittling the Umno Alliance. Although the Umno Alliance had produced many excellent commanders in the past few years, the Umno Alliance had always been confident in their physical strength. Therefore, they would always adopt a more forceful approach during battles.
This was a characteristic of their race. Unless there was a huge setback, it would be very difficult to change.
However, the Astral Souls was different.
The Astral Souls' strategy was to continuously strengthen themselves. At the same time, they came up with countless schemes and plots to increase their strength.
However, no matter how many schemes the Astral Souls used to trap the Umno Alliance's troops, they would still be defeated by the enemy's powerful reinforcements when they gained the upper hand.
For example, in the previous encirclement of Dan Kong, victory was already in their grasp. However, the powerful arrival of Great Flood Shaman forcefully broke the encirclement and caused Xing Hun's side to suffer a great loss. And Senior Witch Dan Kong, who was supposed to be killed in the original plan, became the best bait in that battle to some extent.
This situation and this result was the most helpless thing the Astral Souls could do.
The most fundamental reason for this was that … the Umno Alliance had 12 people who were at the peak of their strength!
The Astral Souls did not have enough people to fight against the 12 Shamans!
"However, even though the Umno Alliance is still our biggest enemy on the surface, we all know that if we only have the Umno Alliance, the worst outcome would be to maintain the current situation."
"The two continents would mind their own business. You can't kill me, and I can't kill you. This is the best outcome. We don't have the strength to defeat each other. "
"However, the situation has changed. The Demon Alliance is about to return. This stalemate is over. Everyone knows that the Demon Alliance is not as good as the Umno Alliance. "
"During the war between the Shamans and Demons, both sides seemed to have suffered heavy losses. However, the Umno Alliance suffered far more than the Demon Alliance did. That's because the upper echelons of the Umno Alliance who were below the peak were all killed in that battle. However, the upper echelons of the Demon Alliance who were below the peak were still relatively intact! "
"After the Great War of the Witch-Demon Race, The Flood Witch and the others gradually rose to prominence. It could almost be said that The Flood Witch and the others were much later than the seniors of the Great War of the Witch-Demon Race. He's … a rising star! "
"As for the Ten Crown Princes, the Ten Baleful Fiends, and the Monster Gods of the 365 Heavens … I'm sure quite a few of them are still alive. Once the Demon Alliance returns, even if the Demon Emperor doesn't come out, just these fiendish Demon Gods … I'm afraid that the combined power of our three continents won't be able to compare to them. "
"Therefore, we have to cultivate new seeds. At the very least, they have to be peerless geniuses at our level … Or, it would be better if they can reach the level of the Left and Right Heavenly Kings. If they can reach the level of the Minister Emperor … that would be the best!"
"Moreover, the rising seeds can't be the minority. If only one or two of them appear, it won't be of any help. "
"Therefore, we have to cultivate at least … more than ten super seeds in this limited time. Or even more … people who can compare to the Left and Right Heavenly Kings!"
"Only then, with the excellent fighting power cultivated by the Umno Alliance, can we possibly resist the returning Demon Alliance! However, it's only a possibility. Our understanding of the Demon Alliance's fighting power is close to zero, but it's still very little. We really don't have any confidence that we can resist the Demon Alliance. "
"Time is short, and the task is heavy. We can only use the most extreme strategy of cultivating venomous insects."
"That's why there's a phenomenon … Previously, Skysoar Realm cultivators rarely participated in the battle. However, this time, we've called all of them out, ready to participate in the battle at any time. The most direct reason is that Skysoar Realm cultivators also need to improve. Do you know why the Umno Alliance sent so many Skysoar Realm cultivators to participate in the battle? On one hand, they're protecting the talented seeds. On the other hand, they're hoping to use the pressure of the battle to break through!"
"If they can't improve, it doesn't matter if they fall. Even if they become stepping stones for the enemy, it's still a kind of success for them to break through!"
"From now on, the other two continents are no longer our enemies. They're our allies. Their excellent fighting power will also be our future reliance!"
General Dongfang said, "This is no longer a matter of Astral Souls. It's a matter of whether or not the three continents can survive."
"You didn't mention the Dao Alliance Continent just now," Beigong Hao said meekly.
"The Dao Alliance Continent …" A disdainful expression appeared on Dongfang Zhengyang's face. "They still haven't sent out their armies to participate in the battle … I don't think they're a threat anymore."
"The reason why the four of us were informed of this is so that we can understand that only when we understand this will we be able to make targeted arrangements. Only then will those prodigies with limitless potential not be sacrificed in vain … Instead, we'll arrange for them to be sent to various places and battlefields to hone their skills."
"Aside from that, there's another implication. When necessary, the four of us will have to participate in the battle as well. It's best if we can break through to the Dao Integration Stage like the Heavenly Kings and the others during the battle. This is also one of the reasons why the higher-ups wanted us to know the truth …"
"As for sacrifices, none of us have the heart to do so. However, we have to do this. If we don't even have this bit of willpower and responsibility, then we really don't deserve to be the commander of an army!"
Dongfang Zhengyang pointed at the Sun Moon Pass beneath his feet. "Beigong, do you know? Even if we were to dig a hundred thousand feet into this Sun Moon Pass, the soil below … would still be red!"
"Every single one of these souls belongs to the Umno Alliance. There are also Astral Souls. Let me ask you, which one of them … isn't a good man?! Aren't they hot-blooded men? "
Beigong Hao heaved a long sigh. "To be honest, I understand this logic. However, I've been dreaming for the past few nights. I've been dreaming of countless blood-soaked brothers coming to me and asking me … "
"They're asking me … We're fighting with our lives on the line. Are we fighting with our lives on the line just so that you can join forces with the Umno Alliance? Are we just doing this so that the higher-ups of the two continents can drink together and watch the show? Are the lives of our lowly soldiers not lives? Only the lives of the higher-ups are lives?! "
"How dare you!"
Dongfang Zhengyang roared in rage. "Beigong, your thinking is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with the higher-ups coming up with a strategy? What's wrong with drinking together? Is the purpose of their gathering to drink together? For their own selfish desires? Isn't it for the survival of the entire human race and the Wu people? "
"Since we've stepped onto the battlefield, we should have been prepared to sacrifice ourselves long ago. Soldiers, generals, and commanders are the same. Everyone's life is a life. The only difference is the value of the sacrifice!"
"If we can use our sacrifice to exchange for the long-term peace between the Umno Alliance and the Astral Souls, an eternal alliance, and for the higher-ups to drink together every day without any wars, then I, Dongfang Zhengyang, am willing to die right now!"
"This concerns the entire human race. All kinds of sacrifices must be made!"
Great Commander Dong Fang took a deep breath and said, "Beigong Hao, Ximen Lie, if the two of you still hold such thoughts in your hearts, then you will not be able to command this long and drawn-out battle of raising Gu. I will report this to the Minister and the Emperor, and replace the two of you!"
Beigong Hao took a deep breath. "I won't! I want to stay here and personally command this … Gu Cultivation Battle! "
"Me too." Great Marshal Ximen Lie lowered his head and sighed deeply.
Although the two of them had thought it through, they were more emotional than Nan Zhengqian and Dongfang Zhengyang.
Both Dongfang Zhengyang and Nan Zhengqian were iron-blooded commanders. They were the perfect example of how to be merciful and not lead an army.
As for Beigong Hao and Ximen Lie, although they could give all kinds of cruel orders without any expression, they would always feel uncomfortable after the war …
But this didn't stop them from becoming qualified commanders.
This was the difference in temperament. It was inevitable!
"Let's go back."
"In the end, even if this plan didn't exist, since the ancient times, which war wasn't a war to raise venomous insects? As long as someone stood out, it would be a war to raise venomous insects. Which war didn't have someone standing out from nowhere? "
"After thinking through this, it doesn't matter if we feel uncomfortable or not."
Dongfang Zhengyang raised his cup and sighed softly. "Don't take it to heart. Maybe it won't be long before it's our turn to fight with our lives on the line … If we're lucky and die on the battlefield, we can go to hell and apologize to our brothers."
He smiled bitterly. "It's a pity that even that day might not come."
Hearing this, the three commanders were all sad. They didn't say anything for a long time.
Dongfang Zhengyang was right. When it came to cultivators of their level, ninety-nine percent of them would self-detonate together with their souls and divine senses. The so-called wanting to go to the underworld and apologize to his brothers was really an extravagant hope.
They couldn't do it.
And with their status, they were destined to perish on the battlefield! Dying on the bed was not something they could accept.
That was why Dongfang Zhengyang said, "If we're lucky, we can die on the battlefield."
The "death" here was an extremely rare way to die!
Because in order to do that, one needed to be very, very lucky. One had to meet an enemy that they couldn't fight against, who didn't even give them a chance to self-detonate.
That was the only way to do it.
The fierce battle at the border was still going on.
The reporters from General Zuo's company also formed four groups and went to the border to interview the soldiers.
