At this point, he paused for a moment before he shifted his gaze to Tang Wulin at last. He smiled and said, “In the past, the Tang Sect Master was actually defeated by our Spirit Pagoda’s Silver Dragon Princess. Since both of their divine weapons can be used to suppress the abyssal creatures, shouldn’t we also regard Gu Yuena as our core?”

As soon as the remark was made, the meeting room broke out in a clamor.

The event where Tang Wulin was defeated by Gu Yuena was streamed live across the entire continent. Shrek Academy seized the opportunity during the Joust For A Spouse Festival to announce its uprising too.

Yu Guanzhi spoke in a deep voice, “The situation now is quite different. It’s no longer a child’s play. Pagoda Master Qiangu, are you confident that this Silver Dragon Spear is also capable of suppressing the abyssal creatures?”

Qiangu Dongfeng procured a mini soul device from his chest pocket and placed it on the console table. He pressed a button on the soul device. At once, a holographic video was projected.

It was a silver silhouette with enormous silver wings spread out behind her back. Her entire body was cladded in silver armor shimmering with seven-colored radiance which made her appear magnificent.

She flew swiftly past the sky akin to a silver lightning. In the next moment, she had already dived into the abyssal legion. Anything that blocked her way was annihilated. A large amount of dense, grayish airflow which rose into the sky was immediately devoured by the silver radiance.

The view changed to a first person perspective.

One could see seven-colored light orbs burst out from her body continuously to kill the abyssal creatures in the surroundings. One could clearly see the gray airflow which had just appeared being instantly devoured by the spear in her hand.

In the next moment, she let out a loud roar before she abruptly leaped into the sky and flew away high into the sky.

Next, a top view showed a gigantic cavern widening to over three thousand meters in diameter near Thule. There was nothing in the surrounding area, not even snow. There were only large gray areas which were spreading into the surroundings.

The densely packed abyssal creatures were innumerable. Meanwhile, a large number of high-ranking abyssal creatures surged toward her like a swarm of bees upon sensing her presence. The air was already filled with a dense, grayish mist.

The silver silhouette turned around. A green radiance flashed once behind her. A ball of intense green radiance exploded which gave a tremendous thrust to propel her forward. Her speed instantly broke the sound barrier. She disappeared into the distance leaving a vast space between the abyssal passage and herself.

The video stopped playing at this point. The whole process lasted for quite a few seconds. However, it fully displayed what Qiangu Dongfeng wished the crowd to see. action

The armor worn by the silhouette was obviously a set of four-word battle armor. The silhouette was none other than the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena. She had secured the abyssal passage by herself just to prove the effectiveness of the Silver Dragon Spear.

Qiangu Dongfeng spoke proudly, “Everyone has seen it now. This is the prowess of the Silver Dragon Spear. I believe that it is no weaker than the Tang Sect Master’s Golden Dragon Spear. Moreover, Gu Yuena is bold enough to head to the frontline. I’ll hand over the video recording to the command post for further analysis. This is absolutely first-hand information which we have managed to acquire on the abyssal passage at the moment.”

The satellite above could not reveal the situation on the ground of Thule as the sky was completely covered with a dense, grayish mist. Qiangu Dongfeng was right. This was the first meaningful reconnaissance.

They had sent out reconnaissance planes earlier, but none returned. This video recording was extremely useful to the war.

“This information is truly beneficial. It’ll be extremely advantageous to our operation.” The Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian seated on the main seat on the right side said haltingly.

His voice was a little strange. It sounded hoarse and unpleasant to the ears.

Dong Zian chuckled and said, “It’s true that having two cores is better than one. Moreover, our soul technology now is way more advanced than six thousand years ago. All energies are made up of structures, so is the abyssal energy. I refuse to believe that these abyssal creatures are able to withstand our newest technology, right?”

Zhang Huanyun seated on his left frowned and said, “General Dong, you shouldn’t say that. We’ve tested almost all the advanced weapons on the abyssal creatures. Till now, we’ve yet to discover any weapon that can kill the abyssal creatures effectively. Only the Golden Dragon Spear shows a significant impact. In the past, it was also the Tang Sect Master who relied on the Golden Dragon Spear and the Blood Gods Great Array during the abyssal tide to suppress the abyssal passage. Furthermore, they managed to defeat the abyssal Sage King too.”

At this point, he suddenly remembered something. His gaze landed upon Gu Yuena. ‘Yes, this young maiden was there as well during that incident. It was she who fought with Tang Wulin to defeat the abyssal Sage King.’

But then, what was her relationship with Tang Wulin? In fact, she appeared to have saved Tang Wulin’s life at the time.

Between them, one had the Golden Dragon Spear while the other the Silver Dragon Spear. No one would believe that they were not related at all!

Gu Yuena had already retracted her Silver Dragon Spear and returned to the back in the meantime.

Dong Zian said, “Simple. Let’s just split our troops into two flanks. Each side will carry a divine weapon. Looks like we’ll just make some slight adjustments to the detailed battle plan.”

Yu Guanzhi frowned. His gaze revealed that he was not being friendly.

It was obvious that Dong Zian and Qiangu Dongfeng were on the same side. They did not bring up the matter related to the Silver Dragon Spear until this very moment. On the other hand, the command post had already completed the drafting of the battle plan earlier.

2“Changing the battle plan now is only going to add to the delay. Why don’t we let the Tang Sect Master and the Deputy Spirit Pagoda Master go together? Just follow the original plan,” said Yu Guanzhi in a deep voice.

Dong Zian spoke without showing the slightest modesty, “Supreme commander, do you think that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy can work with the Spirit Pagoda together in good faith? I’m afraid that putting two negatives together won’t make a positive, right?”

“You...” Yu Guanzhi looked furious. It was the second time he was refuted by Dong Zian. As the supreme commander of the federal army and the third ranking military mogul, how could he not get angry?

A ferocious glint was glimmering in Dong Zian’s eyes. He showed no fear as he stared straight at Yu Guanzhi.

It was common knowledge that they could not get along. Dong Zian had always been recalcitrant toward Yu Guanzhi. The Western Army Corps ranked lower than the Central Army Corps and was known as the second ground force. Besides, both army corps did not belong to the same camp.

Yu Guanzhi was a classic example of a clan disciple. He had the best education since he was young. Also, he was privileged. Luck was always on his side as he made his way up to become a high-ranking personnel.

On the other hand, Dong Zian came from a common family. He relied on hard work and his own efforts to become the best. He displayed outstanding gallantry during battles and got promoted to regimental commander.

Hence, it appeared they were not fairly endowed in a sense.

For this reason, Yu Guanzhi gave Tang Wulin a ‘gentle reminder’ earlier. He was not exactly in favor of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Even though Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were neutral, neutrality similarly had a tendency of leaning toward one side or the other. Neither would he go against the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Naturally, he still felt sore for losing a divine weapon beyond his expectation.

“That’s enough. Why are you both bickering?” said Chen Xinjie with a frown.

Dong Zian widened his mouth in an attempt to say something, but he was given a tug by Yin Moshang at his side. Subsequently, he kept his mouth shut.

Chen Xinjie said calmly, “Guanzhi, please lay out the strategy for discussion.”

Chen Xinjie was not only of exalted rank, but he was also the most senior of them all in the military. Other than the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue, almost all the generals on the scene were considered his juniors. Had it not been the incident of the Eternal Heaven, the supreme commander position was supposed to be his.

Yu Guanzhi suppressed his emotions. He was no longer looking at Dong Zian as he said calmly, “The operation is organized as such. The three great fleets comprising the Sea God Army, the Northsea Army Corps, and the Eastsea Army Corps will mobilize all its mecha masters to join the ground forces in the battle. At the same time, these mecha masters will also provide fire support. After we have a confirmed location, these three great fleets will execute a carpet bombing on the abyssal legion. Then, the second wave of carpet bombing will be carried out via the air forces. In the meantime, the Tang Sect Master will position himself at the frontline with the Golden Dragon Spear in his grasp. He’ll be under protection at all times. He’ll do his best to devour the abyssal energy from the deceased abyssal creatures.”

“Simultaneously, the ground forces will push forward to set up the defense lines. With the fire support, the ground forces will complete the siege on the abyssal passage as soon as possible. We’ll ensure a continuous barrage of heavy fire power on the battlefield.”

“The bombing will be conducted in three phases. Each phase will be alternately delivered by the navy and air forces. After three rounds of bombing, the ground forces will launch an assault to make a clean sweep of the battlefield, and then seal the passage. The ground forces will be led by the Central Army Corps that is equipped with the heavy ion beam weapons. The rest of the troops will act as reinforcements. It’ll be an all-out attack. We, therefore, seek the cooperation of each great soul master’s organization to detain the abyssal plane’s powerhouses.”

“Our strategy is to detain the abyssal plane’s powerhouses first, so we can severely injure the low-medium rank abyssal creatures. We’ll return later to fight against the powerhouses and try to kill them to the best of our abilities. Finally, we’ll seal the abyssal passage.”
