In a certain stronghold of [Order], the Professionists who were ranked were all gathered here.
"City Lord Xu."
Wang Xudong frowned as he looked at the other leaders and said in a deep voice, "Why did you call us here?"
He wasn't the only powerhouse present.
Other than Wang Xudong, there were also Xu Zhe, Lu Wei, and the rest. Basically, other than Wei Xun, more than half of the important figures in Order were here. The others didn't seem to understand what she meant as they looked at her with puzzlement.
"I've invited everyone here because I have something to discuss with you."
Acting Leader Xu Hongzhuang looked at the leaders present and said in a serious voice, "His Excellency Chen Feng has left for some time. I believe all of you have heard of the Winter Plan. Just as His Excellency Chen Feng said, the cold wave is really here. And one thing that can't be ignored is our new neighbor, the City of Silver!"
"The City of Silver has proposed to Order to exchange people for food. Leave this matter to Xu Zhe to negotiate with them. What I want to say is that I want to launch a campaign."
"Campaign?"
Many people were discussing. They came from different factions, but they were loyal to the same leader, Chen Feng. As the top figures in this city, they naturally knew of Chen Feng's plan. Among them, Wang Xudong, who was led by Wei Xun, said again, "Do you want to take advantage of the cold wave to attack the City of Silver?"
Wang Xudong's words jolted everyone present. After all, after discovering traces of the City of Silver, Order formed two factions. One was the peace faction led by Xu Hongzhuang, and the other was the invasion faction advocated by Wang Xudong!
Since the establishment of the Blood Warfare Division, it had risen through slaughter. If Xu Zhe was the brain of Order, then Wei Xun was the blade of Order.
When this blade was brandished, it would kill all the enemies in front of it. Under such circumstances, the warriors of the Blood Warfare Division were naturally influenced by the company of others. They were all in the same league as killing. As Wei Xun's trusted aide, Wang Xudong was naturally one of the best.
From the very beginning, Wang Xudong had advocated launching an invasion and even suggested ending the battle with a blitzkrieg.
But at that time, Chen Feng had his own plans. With winter coming, the forces of nature would disintegrate the City of Silver for the sake of order. After all, compared to the City of Silver, what Chen Feng valued the most was population.
In the end, Chen Feng used Xu Hongzhuang's suggestion to make peace with the other party. Wang Xudong did not dare to disobey Chen Feng's decision, but he was also quite dissatisfied with Xu Hongzhuang. Since then, there were vague signs of a break between the two sides. But just now, what did Xu Hongzhuang say? She wants to start a war?
Not only Wang Xudong, but the surrounding leaders also thought of attacking the City of Silver at the same time!
Xu Hongzhuang didn't answer Wang Xudong's question. Instead, she marked a few symbols on the table. One represented order, and the other represented the City of Silver. She then drew a circle in the middle and said to the other leaders, "This is the border between order and the City of Silver. There's an island here.
"If the two sides really start a war, it will only take an hour to reach the City of Silver from here!"
Having said that, she turned to look at the others.
Those capable of being promoted by Chen Feng all the way to the level of a leader were not simple people. Soon, some of them guessed her thoughts.
"But there are many dimensional creatures living on that island!"
Xu Hongzhuang's expression was calm as she said with a firm voice, "To put it in a tacky way, a cornered dog will jump over a wall. After two transactions, the City of Silver will naturally know that we have enough food reserves. Benefits will blind people's eyes. When the other party is lacking in food and descends into madness, we have to be the first to stifle the other party's throat!"
Wang Xudong listened quietly. To be honest, he was somewhat shocked by Xu Hongzhuang's change. She had clearly been a peacemaker before, but now, she had taken the initiative to place a blade on the City of Silver's neck. This kind of behavior … suited Wang Xudong's taste too well.
Although he didn't know why Xu Hongzhuang had suddenly changed, Wang Xudong's tone was clearly much gentler. He wasn't as aggressive as before as he slowly said, "You mean to occupy the island in the middle, but you should know that there's a group of real monsters living on that island!
The monster Wang Xudong was talking about was about three meters tall. It had terrifying claws at the front and another arm that was also covered in thick black hair. The front of the two arms split into two short forearms.
These monsters, known as Barbaric Giants, were residents of that island. They usually hunted the beasts and fish on the island for food.
The Barbaric Giant that was on sentry duty had a vigilant head that was as big as a wooden barrel. Its two pink eyes glowed. Its eyes protruded two inches from each side and were covered by coarse hair and protruding bones. What was even more terrifying was its head. Its mouth with huge yellow teeth opened vertically from the top to the bottom of its head, not horizontally.
This was an extremely barbaric creature. Order had observed it for a period of time. Even the weakest Barbaric Giant had strength comparable to a human at the Silver rank. Furthermore, it was located far away from Order, so it wasn't included in the list of targets to be eliminated.
"Those monsters aren't weak. According to the spies' reports, two of them are on par with you!" What did this mean? There were at least two Legendary monsters on that island!
Xu Hongzhuang turned around to look at him and slowly said, "That's not a problem. Before Your Lordship leaves, get the Fallen Angel to listen to my orders. If we join forces, we will naturally be able to eliminate the monsters' leaders. In terms of equipment, no one can match us. In terms of combat strength, your subordinates are all elites who grew up in the midst of slaughter!
"If we can severely injure or even destroy those monsters, we will be able to occupy the island. And from then on, the City of Silver will be completely under our control."
The other leaders fell into deep thought when they heard this.
"Your Lordship has entrusted me with full authority to act as the representative of Order. Naturally, this includes some military strikes. The City of Silver has already conducted two population transactions. Although we have obtained population, we have also exposed our wealth. In order to avoid being targeted, we should take the initiative to attack and take all the initiative. I believe that even if Your Lordship were here, he would accept this suggestion!"
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing Xu Hongzhuang's words, the other leaders couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Many of their eyes lit up.
Yes.
Many of them were from the pro-war faction. Upon hearing Xu Hongzhuang's suggestion, they were naturally like hunting dogs that had smelled their prey. Many of them shifted their gazes to Wei Xun.
Wang Xudong fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, the man who was temporarily in charge of the Blood Warfare Division grinned and said in a deep voice, "For Order!"
These words represented the other party's choice.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before revealing knowing smiles. Everyone, including Xu Hongzhuang, said in unison, "For Order!"
