Soon, as Zhang Bo had his little monsters convey his request for a meeting, Green Leaf Group had already responded.
As the sun set, Green Leaf Group dispatched a team led by Zhang Song, along with five other Blue Star Humans and 15 elite Wood Elf archers, who quickly arrived at a hidden safe house near Deherim.
It was still that ground-floor apartment, surrounded by dense bushes and green belts.
Zhang Bo and Zhang Song met.
"What's going on? Why the sudden desire to meet?" Zhang Song looked at Zhang Bo; he knew his cousin was not a careless person, and such an urgent request for a meeting must mean something was wrong.
"Yes," Zhang Bo looked seriously at Zhang Song and said, "I have a plan, and that plan is to infiltrate the Deherim Castle District."
Zhang Bo clearly explained his plan to Zhang Song, and also seriously stated his desire for the Wood Elf Village to use special methods to create a sacred artifact-like item rich in natural aura and containing natural power.
He also mentioned that a light-power type item would also work, preferably something like a sacred artifact.
However, this made Zhang Song stunned.
"I understand what you mean, but using a sacred artifact with natural energy or a sacred artifact with light energy as a gift for Shen Mu, isn't that like throwing a meat bun to a dog? What if he accepts our gift but doesn't let you enter the Castle District? Wouldn't that be pointless?"
This was also one of Zhang Song's concerns. After all, as an old power of the spirit world, the Wood Elf race, the Wood Elf Village did possess some sacred artifacts containing natural and light energy.
They could certainly produce one if needed.
But as he said, there was no problem in giving it to Shen Mu, but the question was whether Zhang Bo could use this opportunity to get Shen Mu to allow him into the Castle District to investigate its true nature, or even let him stay in the Castle District or allow him free entry and exit.
It was still an uncertain matter.
What if the gift was given, but Shen Mu simply didn't give him the chance to enter the Castle District, or only gave him one chance? What then?
Zhang Song also explained clearly to Zhang Bo.
"I've thought of that. Since I am a Prophecy-type Mage, I can use the excuse that I've prophesied the natural and light auras within the Castle District would help my advancement, and then request Shen Mu, which might allow me to enter the Castle District."
Zhang Bo spoke.
"Is that so? If that's the case, this plan is indeed good." Zhang Song nodded.
"Moreover, in the Castle District, that Torch Tower, I can feel the powerful light energy contained within it. As long as I say that I can combine that light energy with the sacred Magic Crystal Ball I already possess, and meditate in the Torch Tower for a long time, it might bring about even broader light energy. Perhaps Shen Mu will allow me to enter that Torch Tower, or even freely enter and exit the Castle District for extended periods."
Zhang Bo thought a lot, and then he meticulously and clearly explained all the details of his plan to Zhang Song.
"That's indeed the case. Your identity as a Prophecy-type Mage is very useful; no one will ignore you." Zhang Song nodded.
This plan was indeed feasible.
"In that case, Song Ge, please tell Yang Di. If we can use special means to make the sacred artifact we give to Shen Mu have some explosive capabilities, that would be even better."
Zhang Bo continued, "If we can use this sacred artifact to directly blow up Shen Mu, then it will be a permanent solution."
As he spoke, a fierce glint appeared in Zhang Bo's eyes: "As long as Shen Mu is eliminated, then the remaining human forces will not be a problem. It's even possible that Zhang Caidong and I could team up to take down Sun Zhiru, seize all the remaining Blue Star Humans, then negotiate with the human empire behind this human force, become their anchor point in the Blue Star World, and obtain the legacy of that human empire. It's all possible."
"Don't do that; it's too risky. After all, the human empire behind Shen Mu still has some unknown foundations. If you put a self-destructing sacred artifact in Shen Mu's hands and he discovers it, it would be dangerous for you." Zhang Song directly rejected such a dangerous idea.
After all, he had more contact with the Wood Elf Elder, and had even followed Yang Di into the astral plane where the Wood Elf tribe resided.
He knew that those races and humans with extraordinary powers had special senses.
Once they detected that the sacred artifact sent could self-destruct, they would know what kind of power was used for the self-destruction. Even if they couldn't find out, Zhang Bo, as the one who sent the sacred artifact, would be listed as a key suspect.
Moreover, there was the most important point.
That is, the current extraordinary power is not enough to support powerful elemental explosions.
After all, the power to create conflicts between elements and then cause an explosion is not something that can be easily produced, nor is it as simple as the chemical explosions that could be produced by relatively low-level methods in the Blue Star World before it was invaded by spirit world rules and death spirit rules.
Explosions between elements are quite special, and a relatively advanced method.
After all, the destructive power generated by elemental explosions is already considered a mid-level spell or higher.
It is enough to prove that elemental explosions are very advanced.
At least not at their current level, nor can they be formed by the current energy concentration in the Blue Star World.
"Is making an explosive device that difficult?" Zhang Bo frowned at this point. After all, he didn't have much contact with the Wood Elves, and hearing what Zhang Song told him now, he was a little incredulous.
"That's indeed the case." Zhang Song nodded: "In fact, even building a teleportation gate is easier than an explosion." But speaking of this, Zhang Song's expression suddenly became astonished: "Wait? Building a teleportation gate? That might actually be possible, after all, the elemental power in the current Blue Star World is not strong, but the power of rules is quite weak."
"Exactly, exactly, Song Ge, your idea is indeed better than mine." Zhang Bo was also suddenly stunned, looking at Zhang Song, his eyes widened as he said, "What you said is indeed right, Song Ge. In the spirit world, because the power of rules is too strong, it is very difficult to open a space restriction to create a teleportation gate, but the elemental concentration in the spirit world is very high, and elemental fluctuations are also very simple, so any intermediate spellcaster can cast it."
As Zhang Bo spoke, he vigorously waved his hand: "But it's different in the Blue Star World. The elemental concentration in the Blue Star World is very low, but the power at the rule level is very weak. Because of the erosion of spirit world rules and death spirit rules, the blue star rules themselves are already in an extremely weak position. Therefore, the space level is like a piece of tofu, while the space rules of the spirit world are a huge steel plate."
"Yes, opening a teleportation gate in the Blue Star World actually doesn't consume too much energy. Instead, how to break through space is the key point, but breaking through space is not difficult." Zhang Song looked at Zhang Bo and directly said, "If I remember correctly, the Magic Crystal Ball you possess seems to have the ability to break through space."
"That's right, my Magic Crystal Ball is actually a special medium with Abyssal Demons rules, capable of opening a spatial gate and allowing Abyssal Demons to invade this world."
Zhang Bo nodded seriously and said, "This was originally a war beacon created by Abyssal Demons and deployed in the spirit world. However, according to my inspection, when the power of the Abyssal Demons is not activated, it is just an ordinary, seemingly common reconnaissance sacred object that can sense surrounding elemental and energy fluctuations. Of course, this is also a disguise method for Abyssal Demon creations to prevent discovery by light forces."
"Continue, keep talking." Zhang Song nodded.
Regarding magic-related matters, he was not as knowledgeable as Zhang Bo, especially concerning the power of rules and the special powers contained within them; he indeed needed Zhang Bo to explain.
"If there is a powerful spellcaster who knows how to open space and form a teleportation gate, then my Magic Crystal Ball can be modified into a medium for a teleportation gate," Zhang Bo said, "This Magic Crystal Ball is equivalent to a one-time teleportation gate spell."
"Then can the power of Abyssal Demons be directly summoned, allowing those Abyssal Demon troops to reappear from this crystal ball?" Zhang Song then thought of the most essential use of this Magic Crystal Ball.
"No, because this magic water ball is only a medium for the demon army, that is, a war anchor point. It is used to pinpoint the location for the demon army, and then through the planar teleportation spells they cast, summon a deep abyss crack to descend their demon legion. And the deep abyss crack they summon is actually quite far from this Magic Crystal Ball, possibly with a deviation of three or four kilometers, or even more than ten kilometers."
Zhang Bo explained, "This is fundamentally different from using this Magic Crystal Ball to open a teleportation gate and directly teleport."
"So that's how it is." Zhang Song nodded thoughtfully.
"So my idea is that we directly use this magic water ball as a medium to summon a teleportation gate. If possible, let the elite Wood Elves from our Wood Elf Village directly flash into the Deherim Castle District, blooming from the center, catching them off guard from the inside." Zhang Bo said.
"That's certainly possible, and it can be done. Yang Di and I have discussed it." Zhang Song nodded, highly approving of Zhang Bo's plan.
"And if possible, use my Magic Crystal Ball, and also find some sacred artifacts with natural and light energy from the Wood Elf Village, and modify them all into three teleportation mediums. With the teleportation ability of the Magic Crystal Ball as the center, natural energy provides the energy to tear space, which would allow us to summon more troops."
Zhang Bo grew more and more excited as he thought about it, and he felt that this plan was almost flawless.
"Hmm, that's indeed very good." Zhang Song also became excited at this point.
The development of Deherim was simply too fast now; they no longer dared to wait. They were already extremely worried about Deherim's rapid development.
But they just couldn't think of any way to seize Deherim in one fell swoop, so they were incredibly frustrated.
However, the plan Zhang Bo proposed now truly resonated with him; he felt it could genuinely succeed.
"Then, in the Town Area, I'll incite internal strife among the middle-level managers and senior managers, stirring up rebellion, and have those who are unaware fan the flames everywhere." Zhang Bo grew more and more excited as he spoke: "As long as we mess things up and muddy the waters, creating a situation where the Blue Star Humans want to rebel, causing conflict between the human soldiers stationed outside and the Blue Star Humans, it will give us an even greater opportunity!"
"Very good, excellent, this is truly great." Zhang Song nodded, looking at Zhang Bo with great approval as he said, "Then I will go back and report to Yang Di. When the matter succeeds, I will send someone to contact you again."
"Okay, Song Ge, I'll be waiting anytime." Zhang Bo nodded.
Zhang Song did not hesitate and immediately chose to leave.
And Zhang Bo also returned to his residence in the Town Area.
Both of them felt excited about this plan, as they both sensed that it was indeed feasible.
Since it was feasible, they had to act quickly.
They both didn't want to wait any longer.
...
Soon, Zhang Song returned to the Green Leaf Group.
A hidden city gate appeared within the lush tree wall outside. Zhang Song quickly walked in, then the city gate closed, turning back into a dense tree wall.
And inside, Yang Di was already waiting there.
"How was it? What did Xiao Bo say?" Yang Di asked.
"It's like this, Yang Di, Zhang Bo proposed a plan, and this plan is really very feasible." Zhang Song's face was quite excited at this time, and then he carefully and thoroughly explained Zhang Bo's plan.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Yang Di gasped at this moment, looking at Zhang Song, his face showing a look of surprise: "My goodness, this plan really has me a bit astonished."
He only thought about it for a moment and realized that Zhang Bo's plan was indeed feasible, and quite feasible. If possible, he could instantly destroy Deherim.
And because Yang Di knew more, he was clearly aware that there were no professionals in Deherim with extremely strong individual combat power like Xue Zhigang, who had reached the level of a mid-level Savage Warrior.
After all, Xue Zhigang's individual strength previously was something even the Wood Elf Elder had repeatedly advised him to be careful of.
PS: Happy New Year everyone~
