Dou Chang had only asked out of politeness, but he did not expect Zhang Yu to really have a plan. As for the risk in his words, he did not take it to heart.
When he was keeping the plague gods in check in the north, wasn't he taking risks as well?
At that time, he was alone, so he could only target the Sons of the God of Plagues. It was extremely dangerous, and once the God of Plagues caught him, he would definitely die. However, he still managed to escape danger time and time again with his extraordinary judgment and foresight. Now that the God of Plagues had been destroyed, he was still alive and well.
He said, "Junior Brother Zhang, we're all on the same side. Just tell us."
Zhang Yu looked at the three of them and said, "Senior Brothers, before I talk about this idea, I want to make one thing clear."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at two places on the map. "There are two altars here. I took a look at the markings on them. The person who drew them was very careful. The colors and patterns are clearly drawn. It shows the God of the Sea, 'Yupan', and the God of the Rain, 'Tarim'."
Qi Wu asked curiously, "Is there something special about these two gods?"
Wang Gong frowned and said, "No, I've investigated before. These two EsGods are clearly the God of Tides and the God of River."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "This is what I want to say. These two EsGods should belong to the ancient gods. After they were resurrected, they had a new 'faith name'. For example, the God of Plague, Imetri, was not originally called 'God of Plague' but 'God of Revenge'. These two gods are actually older than him and were originally stronger."
Dou Chang said in a low voice, "They should not have the strength they had before."
Zhang Yu said, "Yes, after the gods are resurrected, their strength will be weaker than before. However, as long as they return to the world, their strength will continue to increase. This depends on the sacrifices their believers give them and their own actions. The most important thing here is the miraculous changes they made to their host bodies.
I just want to say that once these two ancient gods have their true bodies, their strength will not be weaker than the God of Plague. Therefore, these two gods are the focus of our attention this time. "
Dou Chang and the other two's expressions also became serious. They did not doubt Zhang Yu's words, but before they came out, they were mainly on guard against the Army of God, and EsGod was placed in a lower position.
Solemnly, these two EsGods were the ones that needed to be treated seriously. The trouble that the God of Plague had brought upon them was still fresh in their minds.
This was not because they did not take this matter seriously, but because Xuanfu had only taken over the Army of God for half a year. Previously, he had been putting out fires everywhere and fighting against EsGod. Not only had he not taken a break, but he was also severely lacking in manpower.
Even though he had sent some spies to Chaoming City in advance, not everyone knew the ancient knowledge, so how could they tell the difference?
Wang Gong frowned and said, "If Junior Brother Zhang had participated in the decision earlier, we wouldn't have been so passive today."
However, Dou Chang said, "It's not too late now!" He raised his head and looked at Zhang Yu. "Since Junior Brother Zhang brought this up, I think there must be a way. This should be related to your idea, right? Tell us, we're all here to listen. "
Zhang Yu nodded and continued. "From the information we received, these two gods rarely appear. This means that they are still in hibernation and are still modifying their bodies. This is our chance."
Qi Wu said, "Junior Brother Zhang wants to take action while they are in hibernation? But since they are in hibernation, they can still be awakened. What if the people in Chaoming City have already woken them up? "
"The awakening of gods is a very complicated matter," Zhang Yu said. "It can't be done overnight. We also need to prepare a lot of sacrifices. We only decided to go to Chaoming City yesterday, but even if Chaoming City started preparing the sacrifices and holding the ceremony then, it's not very possible to forcefully awaken an EsGod in one or two days."
At this point, he paused for a moment. "I've taught many students in the academy. I once asked them what they hated the most, and they all said that they hated being disturbed when they were sleeping in. This principle applies to the gods as well."
The three of them looked amused. Clearly, they had all had similar experiences.
Dou Chang had a lot of experience fighting against EsGods. He thought for a while and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you saying that you want to stop this ceremony that might have already started or just destroy the altars?"
"That's right," Zhang Yu said.
Qi Wu looked at the map and said, "Then what method should we use? These two altars are in the center of Chaoming City and are under heavy protection … Hmm? " He suddenly thought of an idea and looked up. "Junior Brother Zhang, are you saying that you want to …"
Zhang Yu nodded at him and said, "My suggestion is that we abandon everything on the ship and fly there directly. If we move faster, we can get there today, and then …"
He slightly separated his index and middle fingers and pointed at the altars. "Attack these two altars from the sky!"
He looked up. "If they have not started the ceremony by then, that would be the best. If they have already started, as long as we destroy these two altars, we can stop the awakening of these two EsGods' true bodies."
Dou Chang nodded. He was someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He knew that even though the Turbid Tide was fading, the Army of God might not be aware of the threat from the sky. This was because both the Army of God and the EsGod believers were not organizations with a strict system. Their reactions were very slow.
In fact, when he was dealing with the Plague Gods, he would often use the same method for a very long time.
This was not because the other party was stupid but because they were unwilling to change, or because they believed too much in their own strength. They stubbornly believed that the reason they could not use the same method to eliminate their opponents last time was because they were careless or did not work hard enough. The more they wanted to prove themselves, the more they would be at a disadvantage until they were taught how to behave.
He thought for a while and asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, have you considered that there should be more than one altar for the EsGods? They should have backup altars, or is this just a trap? "
"Senior Brothers," Zhang Yu said, "I specialize in ancient natural history. I can tell if it's a trap or a real sacrificial ceremony at a glance. Senior Brothers, you don't have to worry about this.
Also, the sacrificial items to awaken the gods are not that easy to find. Some things need to be prepared at the last minute. As long as we destroy the main altar, there will be enough time for us to take action. Even if something is wrong, as long as we are fast enough, we can escape before the other party can react. "
It wasn't difficult for Dou Chang's group of three to discern that this plan was simple, direct, and swift. It was like a sharp blade that pierced straight into the enemy's stomach, and the key to it was its suddenness. It struck such a swift blow before the enemy had the time to react.
At this moment, Qi Wu revealed a helpless expression. "Junior Brother Zhang's suggestion is not bad, but Senior Brother Wang and I are unable to fly."
Wang Gong's face darkened, and he did not say anything.
They were unable to do this, not because they were unwilling to learn the Flying Seal, but because they were not proficient in the Seal of Body and Mind.
Although it was not that they could not work in the direction of these two seals, it required enough Divine Energy. It had only been two months since they destroyed the Plague Gods, and they had not had the time to complete this task.
Dou Chang thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I can fly. Junior Brother Zhang, the risk you mentioned just now is this, right?"
Zhang Yu said, "Yes, if Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Qi are unable to go, then if Senior Brother Dou is willing, the two of us can go."
Qi Wu hurriedly objected. "No, it's too dangerous!" He turned around and said to Dou Chang, "Senior Brother, we can go back first and discuss with Senior Brother Xiang. Then we can gather our fellow disciples who can fly and go together. This way, we can ensure the success of this trip."
Dou Chang shook his head. "Since we are already here, there is no reason to turn back. Moreover, only Senior Brother Xiang and I can fly freely in the residence. The other brothers do not have this ability. It is useless even if we go back."
In reality, he originally had a plan for this trip, but for the sake of confidentiality, he did not tell anyone else. Now, it seemed that this plan could be put aside for now.
He looked at Qi Wu and Wang Gong. "I think Junior Brother Zhang's idea is not bad. What do you two think?"
Wang Gong lowered his head in thought, then slowly raised his head and said in a low voice, "I agree."
Qi Wu was helpless. Since all three of them had agreed, it was useless for him to object. He could only say, "Then Junior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Dou, you two must be careful."
Dou Chang's tone was calm as if he had seen through life and death. He said, "The battlefield is constantly changing and there are all kinds of accidents. The more enemies we eliminate, the higher our chances of victory. This requires putting our lives on the line. Junior Brother Qi, from the moment we came out, there is no such thing as being careful."
He turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, you should go back and prepare. We will set off soon."
Zhang Yu cupped his hands at the three of them and left the main cabin. He returned to his cabin and put on the scarlet gloves. Then, he tightened his cloak and returned to the deck with the Xia Sword in hand.
Not long after, Dou Chang also came out, followed by Qi Wu and Wang Gong. He said, "Junior Brother Zhang, let's go."
Zhang Yu nodded. Solemnly, Qi Wu and Wang Gong bowed to the two of them. Zhang Yu also raised his sleeve and bowed. Then, with a flash of light, his robe fluttered, and he turned into a streak of green light that shot into the sky. Together with another streak of red light, they rushed into the vast sky in the blink of an eye!
