Yang Di ended his interstellar journey and returned to the treehouse in the Wood Elf Village, opening his eyes once more.
However, compared to his previous solemn expression, a smile now graced his face. At 40-something, still extremely handsome, he resembled the once high-spirited CEO of Green Leaf Group.
Even after he emerged, the Blue Star Humans of Green Leaf Group felt a surge of high spirits upon seeing him.
It was as if good things were about to happen.
“CEO Yang, it seems your trip to the Star Realm went very well,” Zhang Song said, having arrived at the conference room upon hearing the news, just in time to see Yang Di smiling and drinking tea.
“Yes, it went very well. One could say I gained a lot,” Yang Di nodded, very satisfied with this trip to the Star Realm.
After all, not only was the plan problem solved, but he also gained the approval of the Great Elder, who even gave him a token imbued with Wood Elf energy. This token would allow him to speak with the leader of the Skeleton Legion, the leader of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty, who occupied most of the underground area of Long City.
So, he directly instructed Zhang Song: “You can tell Zhang Bo to bring that Magic Crystal Ball back to you. I will arrange for it to be collectively transported to the Wood Elf Plane in the Star Realm for modification.”
“Understood.” Zhang Song nodded, but then he looked at Yang Di and asked, “CEO Yang, then the other Holy Artifacts of Light and Holy Artifacts of Nature, those should also be resolved on the Wood Elf Plane, right?”
“All resolved,” Yang Di smiled and nodded. “The Great Elder agreed to the plan, and everything went smoothly. You don’t need to worry about this.”
“That’s excellent! Overthrowing Deherim is practically within reach,” Zhang Song vigorously waved his hand, his face growing increasingly excited.
Now, Zhang Song’s obsession could be said to be the overthrow of Deherim.
This obsession had even become a knot in his heart.
Especially upon learning that Deherim was developing very quickly, he found it increasingly unbearable.
After all, if Deherim developed very quickly, then it was obvious that the impact on Green Leaf Group would be enormous. Perhaps Green Leaf Group, which he had regarded as his most precious place, comparable to his hometown, from childhood to adulthood, and even in his professional career, would eventually be annexed by Deherim.
He did not want this to happen.
Zhang Song understood very well that Green Leaf Group was founded by CEO Yang, the benefactor who had sponsored him from childhood through university.
He certainly did not want this group to be annexed or destroyed.
“Oh, right. Before you go notify Zhang Bo, follow me personally to the subway in Long City,” Yang Di said to Zhang Song at this moment.
“To the subway?” Zhang Song immediately thought of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty’s Skeleton Legion in the subway, and also understood why Yang Di said he wanted to go to the subway tunnel with him. His face instantly grew even more excited: “CEO Yang, does this mean the Wood Elf Plane has agreed to cooperate with those Skeleton Legions?”
“Exactly, they’ve agreed to cooperate,” Yang Di nodded, a smile on his face. “So, this time I will personally go to the subway to negotiate with the leader of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty.”
“That’s wonderful! This is truly wonderful!” Zhang Song vigorously waved his arm again, his smile irrepressible. “The Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty can launch the first attack. This way, they can draw Deherim’s forces, preventing them from placing their main forces in the innermost areas. After all, the Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Warriors of the Black Arrow Tower Skeleton Legion are truly too numerous. To resist the attacks of these Skeleton Legions, they must place their main forces on the city walls. As long as we can successfully open the teleportation gate, we can instantly enter their most weakly defended core, then blossom from the center and catch them off guard.”
“Yes, that’s exactly right.” Yang Di also smiled along with Zhang Song’s words. He understood how powerful this tactic would be if successfully implemented.
And as long as the other party couldn't react, or if their command system became chaotic,
Within a very short time, the elite Blue Star Humans and Wood Elves from the Wood Elf Village under his command could easily clear out Deherim’s command layer.
And without a command layer, Deherim would ultimately be like lambs to the slaughter, left for them to kill at will.
After all, Yang Di also understood that not only would the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty and his Wood Elf main force launch attacks next.
Even those Blue Star Humans in Deherim’s Town Area who seemed to have pledged allegiance to Deherim, those high-level and mid-level managers, would also rebel at that time.
Even if they didn't rebel, they would cause unnecessary commotion, disrupting Deherim’s defensive focus.
After all, directly calling for rebellion, those Blue Star Humans probably wouldn't rebel. Many of them had already received Shen Mu’s favor and had chosen loyalty, willing to work and live steadily in Deherim.
It would be difficult to make them rebel. Even if Zhang Bo incited them to rebel, some of them would definitely not support Zhang Bo because they didn't want to destroy their current good lives, and might even turn against Zhang Bo.
They might even arrest Zhang Bo and directly escort him to Shen Mu.
And that would be more trouble than it’s worth.
However, Yang Di and Zhang Song were not afraid of this, as they knew Zhang Bo would certainly not incite those Blue Star Humans under the guise of rebellion. Instead, he would use the pretext of someone rebelling and someone causing unrest to fuel the flames, making the chaos even more complex.
At least in the short term, this chaos would sweep across all Blue Star Humans, leaving them bewildered and tying up a large portion of Deherim’s defenders.
The goal was to thoroughly muddy the waters.
To make management even more ineffective and the command system even more chaotic in the short term.
To facilitate their direct use of this situation to assassinate Shen Mu, the leader, and then completely solidify the battle situation on their side.
This was their plan.
This was also why Zhang Song was so excited now.
If they relied solely on themselves, without the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty,
Although they could cause internal unrest in Deherim in a short time and successfully infiltrate for a leadership assassination,
And there was a high probability of success.
However, at that time, because there would be no external threat, Deherim, with its relatively evenly distributed forces, would certainly have defensive forces and maneuvering forces.
If they succeeded, it would be fine, but if they failed, they would be surrounded and ultimately annihilated in Deherim.
Now, as long as they could contact the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty and have them provide external support to tie down most of Deherim’s forces, they would not only succeed but also be able to retreat quickly after succeeding.
They might even not need to retreat, but instead blossom directly from the center, cooperating with the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty to flank the forces guarding Deherim’s city walls and annihilate them all.
This was why Zhang Song was so excited.
“Alright, prepare yourselves, let’s go. Remember to bring those 10 human brothers from our guard team, and 100 of the most elite Wood Elf archers,” Yang Di instructed.
“Understood, I’ll take care of it myself.” Zhang Song nodded and immediately followed Yang Di’s instructions to notify the human brothers and Wood Elf followers.
Everything was arranged in a short amount of time.
“Very good, let’s go.” Yang Di looked at the 10 human brothers who had already lined up, and the 100 most elite Wood Elf archers, who were wearing light armor and equipped with not only bows and arrows but also slender elven swords, and was very satisfied.
He led them out.
Passing through the tree wall.
In the square not far in front of the Wood Elf Village, there was a subway station entrance, and below it, one could directly enter the subway tunnels of Long City.
This was the absolute core area already occupied by the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty.
It was also a land of death, where the death spirit rules were extremely dense.
However, at this moment, everyone present showed no fear.
Led by Yang Di, he looked at the subway station entrance, directly reached into his pocket, pulled out the green glowing token, gripped it tightly in his palm, and walked straight towards the subway station entrance.
“CEO Yang, please be careful.” Zhang Song turned his head at this moment and waved to the human brothers behind him, signaling them to come closer.
After all, CEO Yang was a genuine leader.
Every word, every sentence, every detail, every content, all in one glance!
At this time, if CEO Yang were to have any problems under their protection, it would absolutely not be allowed.
It should be known that the Wood Elf elites they had brought over this time were all outstanding individuals from the Wood Elf Village.
These Blue Star Humans, too, had completed soul-level resonance and were strong individuals who had already mastered some of the Wood Elf professional inheritances.
In terms of combat power, these Blue Star Humans were no less than the Wood Elves.
And because they had mastered stronger swordsmanship and archery techniques, in terms of combat, these Wood Elves, due to their rigid thinking, were actually inferior to these Blue Star Humans in terms of cooperation and even some unconventional tactics.
In fact, after Blue Star Humans mastered some inheritances from the Spiritual Realm, their promotion speed was even faster than that of ordinary Spiritual Realm creatures, the reason being that Blue Star Humans’ thinking was more active.
They could infer many things from one example.
If they continued steadily, their achievements would definitely be stronger than those of the Spiritual Realm creatures.
After all, the various races in the Spiritual Realm had very rigid thinking.
Especially after experiencing the Age of Faith, a psychological and spiritual constraint arose, disallowing any superfluous thoughts.
They were only allowed to dedicate their faith to the gods.
So-called powerful strength was not essential.
Therefore, after the gods disappeared, these Spiritual Realm races who had experienced the Age of Faith and had wholeheartedly dedicated their minds and faith to the gods, could not compare to these Blue Star Humans who had experienced national ruin and family destruction, faced the threat of death, and desperately wanted to become stronger.
This was a fundamental difference.
After all, the fact was clear: if Blue Star Humans could not become stronger, they would know very well that they would eventually die under the threat of the death spirit rules.
In order not to die, they would desperately learn, and also use their active minds to infer from examples and comprehend the various powers within the inheritances more deeply.
Then they could quickly achieve promotion.
Even now, in the third year of the death spirit rules invasion, many of them, who initially were completely inferior to the Spiritual Realm Followers, have now surpassed those Spiritual Realm Followers.
This was all as it should be.
It was all what they were supposed to achieve.
This was why, when Yang Di planned to go to the subway tunnel below the subway station entrance, he first thought of these Blue Star Humans whom he trusted considerably.
Because the Blue Star Humans he currently commanded were indeed stronger than the Wood Elves.
Of course, while those Wood Elf Followers were not strong in the Blue Star World, they were indeed very strong in the Wood Elf Plane.
After all, the concentration of extraordinary power in the two worlds was different.
However, as long as these Blue Star Humans were given some time, they would eventually grow into powerhouses comparable to those of the Spiritual Realm races.
It was just that time was running out. After all, one could easily understand now that it had only been three years, and these Blue Star Humans were already comparable to those Spiritual Realm races.
If they were given more time, or sufficient time, then it would only be a matter of time before Blue Star Humans surpassed the powerhouses of those Spiritual Realm races.
“Let’s go.”
Yang Di nodded at the Blue Star Humans who had come to protect him, then picked up the rapier at his waist, composed himself, and walked down into the subway station entrance.
And in the hands of the Blue Star Humans beside him and the Wood Elf Followers who had come along, simple lit torches were raised.
As the flames rose and the firelight shone,
The entire subway station was illuminated, dispelling the darkness and gray mist in front of them.
However, just then, with a series of clattering sounds, as if bones were striking the ground,
As the gray mist receded, their eyes saw Skeleton Warriors, each with glowing blue soul fire in their eye sockets and their bodies emanating a dark, metallic luster.
However, these Skeleton Warriors seemed to have sensed something and did not directly attack.
Staring with their eerie blue soul fire,
One by one, they turned their terrifying skull heads towards Yang Di, who was walking at the very front and had already pulled out the green glowing token from his embrace.
And at this moment, all these Skeleton Warriors lowered the weapons they held, and one by one, they laboriously bent down and half-knelt.
They actually bowed their heads and performed a half-kneel salute to Yang Di. (End of Chapter)
