Chapter 631: Chapter 526: The Players’ Plan (Part 2)
The players each expressed their opinions.
As the organizer of the meeting, Li Mu nodded repeatedly.
Many of the opinions voiced by others were ones he agreed with.
However, he always felt that something was still missing…
How should he put it…
*This feeling started when Divine Favored Zero revealed the truth about the war to everyone.*
*He didn’t know how to describe it, but just felt that something seemed lacking, that it didn’t feel quite right.*
At that moment, a somewhat deep voice broke the discussion.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.
The expression of the Guild Leader of the First Legion carried a hint of displeasure.
He glanced around and said,
“Is it enough just to stall for time?”
Li Mu was moved in his heart,
“What do you want to say?”
Fried Tomato gave him a glance and said,
“We’ve come this far, and even though this is just a feint, wouldn’t it be better if we could actually take Sandstorm City?”
“I think… since everyone has gathered here and assembled such a vast army, we must have some ideas, right?”
“If it’s just a feint, if it’s just about enduring until the mission’s success, are you truly satisfied?”
After hearing his words, silence fell within the tent.
Li Mu’s eyes flickered as he finally understood the subtle discontent in his heart…
*They had fought for so many days and come this far, was a mere feint enough to be satisfying?*
*From the start of the vanguard’s advance, this war had already lasted for several months.*
*And early on in the war, they had assumed that the ultimate goal was to completely defeat the Half-Beast.*
*Even though the deeper they ventured into the Death Desert, the more they learned about the Half-Beast’ intelligence, the more they realized how difficult it was to achieve, this had been their ultimate purpose all along!*
*Yet, now, although the newly emerged mission was somewhat unexpected and the seemingly simple requirement allowed some players to relax, was this enough?*
*Having assembled such a massive army, which had attracted countless onlookers and envy from the Blue Star’s network, they naturally wanted to do better!*
*Not to mention, Divine Favored Zero also mentioned that the extent of the blow they dealt the Half-Beast depended on them…*
*In a way, this was a flexible mission!*
“Fried Tomato is right, should we really just endure until mission success? We could certainly exert our full effort, take it a step further… Maybe even trigger a hidden storyline.”
Li Mu went silent for a moment and then said.
After speaking, he looked at the other players,
“Why… don’t we really try to capture Sandstorm City?”
After hearing Li Mu’s words, the players seemed thoughtful.
Then, one by one, they became interested.
Clearly, like Li Mu, although they hadn’t voiced it, many had some expectations in their hearts…
“It’s a very tempting proposal, but how would we breach the city?”
“Definitely not by attacking head-on, Sandstorm City is too sturdy, and there are too many defenders.”
Gu Gu Niao shook their head.
“So… the best way is to lure the Half-Beast’s army out, fight them outside the city to gradually deplete their strength, and then initiate the siege when our overall strength is the best!”
Little Xian Miao suggested.
“But how do we lure out the Half-Beast’s army?”
The players fell into contemplation.
At this time, Fried Tomato, who first proposed the idea, spoke again,
The other players looked at him in surprise.
“The Half-Beast… surely also wants to eliminate us, so as long as we show a flaw, there’s a high chance they’ll take the bait to attack!”
Li Mu shook his head,
“Not very reliable… if they truly have a scheme, they might not fall for it.”
“Then attack the nearby other Half-Beast Tribes! Our guild’s Hunter players have already scouted; there are several medium-sized Half-Beast Tribes nearby that are very wealthy. Unlike the tribes we’ve encountered before, their defenses are poor, and some aren’t even fully constructed yet!”
“Raiding these tribes should be very successful, defeating them one by one, forcing the Half-Beast Army out to chase us!”
The Death Desert’s central region differed from the north.
The northern Half-Beast Tribes initially built defenses entirely due to being forced by the players’ vanguard.
Even so, it took them a whole month to gradually complete the stockade walls.
Here in the central Death Desert, they weren’t threatened by the players, so the Half-Beast didn’t build defenses early on.
It wasn’t until the players issued a call to arms that the Half-Beast hurriedly built stockades and other defenses.
However, the players moved too quickly…
They officially invaded the Death Desert and moved swiftly, completely catching the Half-Beast off guard.
They didn’t spend many days before they were besieging Sandstorm City.
In Half-Beast’s expectations, this process should have taken one or two months.
Because of this, the Half-Beast was unprepared, and the nearby tribes hadn’t completely finished their defenses…
However, Li Mu still shook his head,
“This suggestion is good, but I still find it unreliable.”
