After a false alarm, people were overjoyed.
Not only did Ye Chuan return safely, he also brought back an armored warship, which was simply incredible and heart-warming. The supplies, weapons and equipment on the ship, and even the disciples of the Gulang Sect accompanying them were also exciting. Especially the leader of the Kraken Clan, who was smiling from ear to ear. He was excited about breaking through the blockade of Qingtian Hou and breaking into the Lost City, the holy land of the Kraken Tribe. I feel more confident and sure.
After some celebration, everyone continued to stay on the unknown desert island to discuss the next action.
"According to various intelligence reports, Qing Tianhou has not visited the overseas world in person, but his masters are all led by the number one confidant known as Master Qi. He has deployed a total of 200,000 troops in the waters near the Lost City, and the huge armored warships alone are There are nearly two hundred ships, and the force is huge."
Zhu Sijia was the first to speak, with a stern look on her face.
According to the reports from the spies, the situation was far more serious than imagined. In order to monopolize the lost city and snatch the treasures inside, Qingtianhou had spent a lot of time planning this time. Almost all the forces in the nearby seas, whether indigenous residents or overseas cultivating sects, were slaughtered by them, and those who survived were reduced to slaves. There are patrol ships within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the sea dragon ship has a unique shape. Let alone directly break into the Lost City, as soon as it approaches the nearby sea area, its whereabouts will be exposed, and ferocious attacks will follow.
Also facing an army of 200,000 people, this time the situation was even more severe.
Some time ago, when faced with the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty, they could still wait for work and make full use of the familiar terrain of the Yunwu Mountains. There were high mountains and mountains as a buffer that slowly eroded the spirit and strength of the Great Qin Dynasty's army. Now, the situation is completely different. They are not familiar with the nearby sea area and have come from afar. The soldiers and horses under Qingtianhou are resting and recuperating. Although they are all elite disciples of the Yunwu Sect, the number is limited after all. If one dies, there will be no loss. Replenish troops.
Taking all aspects into consideration, the situation was unfavorable for everyone, and Zhu Sijia looked grim. According to her, the chance of breaking through the blockade of Qingtianhou's army and breaking into the Lost City is only 10% at best. It is not worth taking the risk for this 10% hope.
People's faces darkened, and the excitement of Ye Chuan's triumphant return quickly dissipated, replaced by deep depression.
"Jiajia, go on and tell me all your opinions." Ye Chuan said, his face calm and unmoved, and he calmly listened to people's opinions first.
As a superior, this is the most basic requirement and rule. Even if he has an idea in mind, he must listen to the opinions of others and consider all aspects before taking action. At critical moments, you need to move forward bravely and take thunderous actions, rather than going your own way. Otherwise, if you don't control it well, everyone will betray you. Ye Chuan understood this truth as early as the previous life when he covered the sky with one hand.
"My opinion is that it is best to cancel the operation and return to the East China Sea immediately, or even return to the sect."
Zhu Sijia paused, glanced at the Siren Elder, then her eyes stayed on Ye Chuan, and continued in a deep voice: "Even if we really want to take action, we will send an elite team to carry out the mission, and use the cover of the sea and night to wait for an opportunity to break in." Enter the Lost City. Moreover, it is best to take a detour to avoid the Gulang Island in front, and definitely not to have a head-on conflict with the army stationed on the island!"
Zhu Sijia's meaning was obvious. For the sake of safety, she hoped that everyone would retreat before the difficulties. However, considering the feelings of the Kraken clan, a compromise plan was reluctantly proposed. As for letting all the Yunwu Sect disciples take risks together, that is absolutely impossible and she is firmly opposed to it.
"Clan leader, what do you mean?" Ye Chuan looked at the leader of the Kraken clan.
The old man sighed secretly, obviously a little disappointed. However, according to various intelligences, the enemy army was indeed too strong. Zhu Sijia was not wrong in doing so. After pondering for a while, he said: "Miss Jiajia's suggestion is also good. Then Let’s send an elite team to take action and gather the most elite personnel from our Siren Clan and your Yunwu Sect.”
Soldiers are more valuable than more. If the elites from both sides gather together, there is still a certain chance of breaking into the Lost City. As for whether he can complete the task of maintaining the restriction and take out the Poseidon Horn, he can only leave it to fate.
People's eyes were all fixed on Ye Chuan.
Zhu Sijia and the leader of the Kraken clan have already expressed their stance and basically reached a consensus. Now, they are just waiting for Ye Chuan's order.
Immediately retreat away from this sea area, everyone works together to break through the blockade of Qingtianhou's army, or send an elite team to take action
People stared at Ye Chuan without blinking, feeling nervous. This is a difficult decision. It is a dilemma. Ye Chuan's decision can affect the success or failure of this operation, and even the life and death of everyone.
Ye Chuan was silent. Apparently, he was equally embarrassed.
For a long time, Ye Chuan's eyes swept over the people, and finally broke the silence, saying in a deep voice: "Okay, just follow what Zhu Sijia and the clan leader said, and send an elite team to break into the Lost City. Now, I will make arrangements. Everyone’s mission. Jiajia, you stay and guard the base camp. After a month, if the elite team does not come out of the lost city or the entire army is wiped out without news on the way, lead the people to leave this sea area and return to the Yunwu Sect. From now on, please Nan Tiandu is the senior brother, and you must obey his orders in everything!"
Ye Chuan's voice was low and he arranged the funeral arrangements word by word.
Although Zhu Sijia was good at organizing and commanding and performed well, she was still a woman. If she encountered misfortune, only Nan Tian, who stayed behind in the Yunwu Sect, could shoulder the heavy responsibility.
"Yes!" Zhu Sijia had a worried look on her face, but she still bowed and accepted the order. She was usually unruly and aggressive and wanted to twist Ye Chuan's hand, but now she took the overall situation into consideration and knew what to do.
"Abbas, you are responsible for following Miss Jiajia, ensuring her safety and guarding the base camp." Ye Chuan looked at the Plague Demon King Abbas who was sitting aside.
"I obey my orders!"
Plague Demon King Abbas bowed down to accept the order. He was naturally afraid of water, so it was just right for him to stay and guard the base camp on an unknown desert island.
Ye Chuan looked around at everyone, and his eyes rested on the old demon Rhodes of Yinshan Mountain, "Rhode, lead the elite disciples to follow the patriarch, and the task of breaking into the lost city will be left to you. Remember, if something cannot be done, you don't have to reluctantly."
"I obey, but..., sir, what about you?" The old demon from Yinshan looked at Ye Chuan doubtfully.
There is no problem in letting him lead the elite disciples to take action. He has always liked taking risks and killing. I just can't figure it out. I thought Ye Chuan would personally lead this elite team, but now he has given the important task to himself. What about Ye Chuan? If he doesn't stay at the base camp and doesn't join the elite team, what does he want to do? Could it be that there is something more dangerous and important
"Yes, Senior Brother, what about you?" Zhu Sijia asked, also confused and with a vague bad feeling.
"I'll help you lead away the army under Qing Tianhou. Okay, it's been decided. Everyone should perform their duties and take action in three days!"
Ye Chuan pretended to smile calmly, stood up and left. After thinking for a while, he still didn't express his true thoughts. If people knew that he not only wanted to divert the army, but also kill Gulang Island where masters gathered, they would definitely be considered a madman!
Xiao Longer looked at the surprised Zhu Sijia, and then at the confused crowd. His mouth moved slightly but he didn't say anything. Among the people present, he was the only one who knew Ye Chuan's true thoughts. No one else would dare to think about killing Gulang Island, but no matter how dangerous or difficult it was, he would not frown and follow Ye Chuan wherever he went.
Ever since his grandfather died in the Demon Dragon Cave, Xiao Longer regarded Ye Chuan as his only relative in the world and vowed to follow him to the death.
