Capítulo 756: Chapter 305: Undead Mecha Master (6k)_3
After losing Stica, without Stica’s means of concealing their presence, demon camps across the continent quickly became exposed to human eyes due to losing their cover.
What followed was a large-scale extermination.
Previously, they could wreak havoc behind human lines despite inferior combat power, relying mostly on this stealth capability, but now that reliance has vanished, they were swiftly forced back below the demon channel.
After wandering for more than a month, they finally returned to the Demon Mountains.
The high-tier combat power and subordinate armies of both sides were arrayed, and although a battle had yet to break out, the atmosphere within the fortress was tense to the extreme, with the final battle looming.
Faced with this outcome, even Bai Yi, who wanted to delay the final battle to buy more time to gather more high-tier combat powers, found herself helpless.
She hadn’t expected such a rapid defeat after losing Stica.
In the face of such overwhelming odds, even though she had already controlled 17 of the current human elite, and gathered 78 high-tier and seventh-rank combat powers in this period, she couldn’t halt this process.
Still, it wasn’t entirely hopeless, as now the Magga Empire looked like part of the human faction, but she had essentially gained the greatest authority.
At the higher echelons, she had almost turned them into her own winery, with only the strongest ones remaining outside her command.
If she were to guide them to stop this battle, it would inevitably cause resistance from the remaining human high-tier combat powers, let alone the lower ranks.
It would undoubtedly result in great losses if a fight occurred.
However, if she followed the flow, she might seize another wave amidst the chaos of battle…
“Miss Fan Mao, the combat meeting is about to start, please proceed.”
The messenger outside loudly informed her before hastily departing.
She had already learned about the meeting from other human ninth-rank members integrated into the network; these meetings had been held multiple times in recent days, all to discuss the final battle.
But since most attendees were her people, the meetings couldn’t reach a conclusion unless she made a decision.
Today, she finally decided on a combat plan.
Swiftly reviewing the entire plan in her mind, Bai Yi prepared to present it at the meeting and proceeded toward the meeting room.
When she reached the meeting room, she was the last to arrive. As she took her seat, Magga, sitting at the head, anxiously spoke up.
“Regarding yesterday’s plan, what does everyone think?”
Bai Yi understood his urgency; after all, she had increased the frequency of raids in pursuit of efficiency, gathering more seventh-rank and higher powers more swiftly.
For those at the seventh rank, Bai Yi was no longer satisfied with waiting for the guise of rescue to transform them, instead directly sending Ju with mechanical brain worms to cripple people and bring them back forcibly.
The negative consequences of such raids naturally resulted in cities losing top-level command and plunged the witnessing citizens into chaos.
The Magga Empire, initially stable due to the smooth progress of the war, was now near collapse from such disturbances.
In fact, even now, the team of Stica and Ju continued their attacks; a city was breached just while she was on her way to the meeting room. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
With the empire under her control gradually falling apart, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“I think the battles on the eastern line can…”
Shortly after Magga finished speaking, a ninth-rank member proposed a suggestion to modify the frontline combat power arrangement.
Immediately, another member spoke up, requesting adjustments to the next battle line.
These suggestions naturally came from Bai Yi’s people, and the direction of the hoped-for modifications was what she desired.
Of course, the plan wouldn’t be so transparent, and instead included several rounds of mutual arguments, preventing the passage from being too conspicuous.
Moreover, the plan wasn’t entirely baseless, but rather carefully planned based on intelligence provided by her moles within the demons.
Originally, Magga’s idea was to rely on the main forces to push straight ahead, directly reaching the demon channel.
The advantage of this plan was its high success rate, leveraging advanced combat power to bulldoze through, which the demons couldn’t resist unprepared.
Once the demon channel was occupied, the remaining forces would be scattered, requiring only time to be cleared.
The drawback, naturally, was that the remaining battle lines would suffer heavy casualties due to lack of advanced combat power.
They could even potentially break through defenses and resume massacres in the rear cities.
Not to mention Bai Yi’s reluctance; even if those human ninth-rank members hadn’t been transformed by her, they wouldn’t agree with this aggressive plan.
——Those potentially massacred cities were under their command!
From a rational perspective, they had already seized the advantage; victory was within reach, and post-victory naturally meant splitting the spoils. Now speaking of destroying some of those rewards through aggressive actions, who would agree?
Common sense would dictate a steady forward push.
Bai Yi chose exactly such a plan, her only influence being subtle adjustments to the various battle lines.
Based on intelligence received from her moles within the demons, the current arrangement precisely countered hidden demon forces on various fronts, prolonging the war in a stalemate.
