LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 188 Advancement
In Su An's view, Fang Ming's argument that he is the son of fate is actually very unstable.
At first, the team got off the transport plane and was able to gain a foothold in the offensive of the Kuroshio warriors. After rational analysis, Su An believed that it was because he played a very important role.
Without his sniper marksmanship and a large number of powerful force grenades, the Kuroshio Soldiers' offensive would never have been suppressed.
After that, Fang Ming encountered Zhu Feng's team and was surrounded. It was Su An who arrived in time and provided a way out for them.
As for being attacked by the elite forces of the demon clan with giant beasts the night before, it was Su An who controlled the giant beasts to make them survive by using a method that could be called heaven-defying from the perspective of a transcendent.
When it comes to luck, Su An feels that he is Fang Ming's luck.
That's right, he is Fang Ming's luck itself, and Fang Ming, the son of luck, has to call him daddy.
Of course, Su An would only think about this in her heart. At most, she would seriously agree with this conclusion and would never say it out of her mouth.
Because of this idea, Su An's eyes changed when he looked at Fang Ming.
Fang Ming was full of ambition, immersed in his glorious and great identity as the son of destiny. When he was looking around, he accidentally came into contact with Su An's eyes. Suddenly his eyes froze and he frowned, and a strange thought came to his heart.
This thought was unbelievable but lingering, making him hesitate for a long time. Finally, he couldn't restrain his curiosity and said to Su An in confusion:
"Su An, what's that look in your eyes? How come I detect a sense of kindness in it?
"Tell me honestly, are you thinking about something weird and shouldn't be thinking? Or am I wrong?"
Su An looked back and laughed, secretly saying that not only were you right, but on the contrary, it was also very accurate. This is exactly how a loving father looks at his son.
After this episode, the team had no further twists and turns worth mentioning along the way.
Arriving at the place where the captains of each team met, Su An became an idler just attending the meeting, leaving Zhu Feng to talk to the ninety-level bosses about the serious matter.
The process and results of the meeting had some aspects that surprised Su An, while others were not beyond reason.
What surprised Su An was that he had thought that after today's defeat in today's battle, all the scattered human extraordinary people would become more conservative, shirk responsibility from each other, blame others for their faults, and then refuse to fight tomorrow's battle. Stay enthusiastic in the fight.
But the fact is that today's defeat made the experienced captains realize the problem.
When Zhu Feng had a previous meeting with his team, he raised the question of whether he could play, win, and how to play, which became the consensus of most captains.
Some captains even provided helpful additional input.
Zhu Feng originally planned to observe for another day or two in order to fully understand the weak points of the demon clan's defense line. After each captain pointed out the situation of the demon clan's defense line in their own combat area today, he immediately got a clear answer.
Zhu Feng simply synthesized the battlefield intelligence of each team and marked out the various defensive gaps in the Monster Clan's position so that everyone could conduct targeted attacks in tomorrow's battle.
The issue of strengthening coordination and establishing unified command was quickly adopted by the conference.
"In the final analysis, the treasure mountain is right in front of us. We have all fought here, so there is no reason to shrink at the last moment. Knowing that the demon clan is not invincible, a slight defeat will not make everyone lose the courage to fight hard. "
Su An gradually realized, "What's more, time is tight.
"No one knows when the demon clan will activate the main peak formation and pack away the treasures inside. Everyone is very anxious and does not want to waste precious time on talking nonsense, and is willing to obey the overall situation to a certain extent."
In any case, extraordinary beings who often go on field missions to fight monsters and criminals in the Land of Chaos neither lack in energy, courage, nor wisdom and insight.
What is not unreasonable is that after the big issues in the general direction are resolved, serious differences and arguments still arise between the various teams when faced with specific operations at the execution level.
To put it simply, no one wants their team to undertake the first attack mission, go to dangerous areas with dense firepower nets to attract firepower, and create opportunities for others to break in through weak points of defense.
Each captain wants his own combat mission to be of low difficulty and low casualties.
This is normal. After all, everyone wants to grab treasures after entering the main peak.
By then, the team with more people and stronger strength will naturally be able to grab more harvests. The team with fewer people and weaker strength, no matter how much effort and sacrifice they put in for the overall situation in this battle, want others to share their spoils. Some of them are nothing more than wishful thinking.
After all, the more than 10,000 extraordinary beings present come from several forces in three countries.
Of course, your own family can share the harvest equally, and even distribute the spoils according to military merit, but why should people from other countries give their things to you?
After this battle, everyone went back to their homes. There was no benefit in sharing the harvest with others.
Furthermore, whether it is between the three countries, between several major forces, or between the three countries and several major forces, they are not long-term stable allies. Most of the time they compete with each other and are hostile to each other. Who is willing to take advantage of whom? ?
The contradiction is simply irreconcilable.
At this time, of course, a strong person has to step in to calm the situation.
As one of the captains of the large teams with the largest number of people and the highest combat effectiveness, Zhu Feng was the first to express his own attitude of being willing to take on the first-attack mission, and called on the other large teams to set an example.
Facts have proved that the role of role models is not effective at all times, especially when it concerns one's own vital interests.
Most of the other big teams were unwilling to make concessions. Some people suggested that they should at least let other teams draw elites to serve as vanguards with their own team.
This is already a concession, but not all teams are willing to join the first attack queue.
A weak team means that its own strength is limited, and if the elites are transferred, there will be little combat power left. On the surface, it is because they are afraid that they will not be able to cope with the subsequent war and hold everyone back. In fact, they are afraid that the elites will be defeated by the larger team in front. Forced to die, it affects the looting later.
This is certainly not an unfounded concern.
When the large team asked the small and medium teams to send people to cooperate with the first attack, they had no intention of using these people as cannon fodder.
All these doubts and contradictions made the second half of the meeting go very smoothly. Even though Zhu Feng was willing to set an example, everyone was arguing for several hours without getting a good result.
Seeing that the day was about to break, due to time pressure, the captain meeting finally managed to come up with an action plan. It was decided that the large team would take the lead, with some elite small and medium-sized teams mobilized, to undertake today's most difficult and dangerous combat mission.
On the way back to the rebel camp, Su An took the initiative to ask Zhu Feng:
"Among the several large teams, we are the only ones who have not asked the small and medium-sized troops to cooperate with the first attack. With such a huge sacrifice and such a high level of consciousness, will the gain outweigh the loss in the end?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly and turned to look at Su An.
Seeing that the other party looked calm, he realized that Su An was not really worried about the team's gain outweighing the losses, but was curious about why Zhu Feng could make such a decision, and how he could guarantee that the team would accept his decision.
"The reason is very simple." Zhu Feng did not beat around the bush, "Because we are a resistance force."
Su An asked: "What is the resistance army?"
Zhu Feng smiled. Although the smile was not rich, nor did he make a loud voice like Fang Ming, the confidence and heroic demeanor in it was clearly revealed:
“At any time, the rebels are the mainstay of mankind, brave enough to be brave and not afraid of responsibility.
"It is not our style to be timid about difficulties. It is our habit to face difficulties head on. This is both an internal requirement and a fact that must be seen by outsiders."
Su An thought for a moment, then nodded with understanding.
He had been wondering just now. Since the trip to the ruins was just to make extra money for the resistance, why did Zhu Feng pay such a high price to break through the demon clan's defense line?
Zhu Feng's meaning is very clear. Going up to the enemy and setting an example is the fighting style of the resistance. The huge organizational inertia means that they will not sit back and watch this battle fail, but at least try their best.
In addition, bravery and responsibility are the internal qualities of the resistance, and they are also what they want to show to the outside world. The former is related to their own construction, and the latter is for the development of the organization.
After a morning of preparations, at noon that day, the army of human transcendents once again organized a fierce attack on the demon clan's position on the main peak.
However, as soon as the battle began, an unexpected situation shocked the human army and caused a large-scale commotion:
The demon clan voluntarily gave up its outermost defensive position!
The outermost position area is the largest. Only when the monsters are stationed in a wide area with limited manpower will areas with weak firepower networks appear, leaving gaps for the human army to break through.
But now that the demon clan has shrunk its defense line and retreated its troops to the second layer of defensive positions, all those weak areas and gaps have disappeared!
This arrangement suddenly disrupted the deployment of the extraordinary army. The prepared tactics became meaningless because of the disappearance of the weak links. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it became a joke.
Naturally, the tens of thousands of soldiers became hesitant and confused.
After yesterday's defeat in battle and the night's meeting, the morale that had finally been restored suddenly fell into a slump.
However, the extraordinary army did not give up the offensive. No matter the large or small team, they did not retreat without authorization, nor did they stir up chaos. Instead, they immediately held an emergency meeting after entering the outermost position abandoned by the demon clan.
Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the situation.
The thing is actually very simple. In yesterday's battle, although the demon clan did not have the assistance of the giant beasts, they still defeated the human army relatively easily;
In this case, even if there are weaknesses in the front, they have no reason to voluntarily give up an entire layer of defense if the war is not frustrated.
To be honest, even though the human army has made tactical adjustments and targeted deployments, the various teams have not coordinated properly due to various problems.
Even if the offensive is launched, it may not be able to put much pressure on the demon clan's position. Even if the opponent's fighting style is conservative, they should not take the initiative to retreat.
The retreat not only made the demon clan's defense line tighter, but also caused trouble for the human army, preventing the latter from taking advantage of the situation. It also caused the demon clan monks to lose a large part of their maneuvering space and tactical possibilities.
When the defensive perimeter becomes smaller, the intensity of firepower suffered by each place will inevitably increase. For the monster clan, this is by no means a sure-profit deal.
So why do the demon army still mobilize like this?
There is only one answer.
The demon clan is about to open the main peak formation and enter the secret realm inside the main peak!
Only in this way will the demon clan shrink its defense line. On the one hand, it strives not to expose any flaws, and on the other hand, it is easier to mobilize manpower to enter the main peak.
As for the possibility of changing space and tactics, the demon clan has no need at all.
What they have to do next is to fend off the human army for a certain period of time, so that they can complete the collection of secret treasures!
How can the extraordinary beings who realize this fail to realize the urgency of the war?
Once the demon clan is allowed to complete the exploration of the secret realm of the main peak, it will not only be a problem for the humans to return empty-handed, but the latter may also face a heavy blow from the former!
As the core of the ruins, the possibility of a teleportation array in the secret realm of the main peak is extremely high, and even weapons of mass destruction are not guaranteed.
Once the demon clan takes control of them, whether it disappears immediately or destroys the human army with a backhand, it is a matter of course!
If there is no similar support, why would the demon clan dare to open a secret realm in the central area despite being surrounded by an army of human extraordinary beings?
Aren't they afraid that even if they gain something, they will be snatched away by human extraordinary beings with superior military strength, and they will be gathered here to annihilate them?
The sudden change caused the extraordinary human beings to become unprecedentedly united in an instant.
If we don’t unite, we can’t do it. If we don’t work together as one, everything will be lost!
As a result, all the big teams immediately expressed their willingness to take on the difficult and dangerous main offensive task, and promised that the small and medium-sized teams would not let their elites who were drawn out take too big risks, let alone force them to be cannon fodder in the front.
Let's all go hand in hand and attack the demon clan's defense line side by side!
Major teams made concessions, small and medium-sized teams also made sacrifices, both sides reached a compromise, and an unprecedentedly effective command system was established.
Zhu Feng gained the favor of everyone because of his previous exemplary performance. At this moment, he had the greatest prestige and was able to become the temporary commander of the entire army.
He immediately mobilized experts from each team to form a law enforcement team to supervise the operations of various departments and prevent anyone from escaping without permission. He then rearranged combat tasks based on the new terrain and enemy troop deployment.
A bloody battle of unprecedented intensity officially started at three o'clock in the afternoon!
