“We estimate about 15,000 undead for now.”
“Our territory currently has a military force of 220 Red Tassel Pikemen and 100 Lancer Cavalry who have just established a partnership with the Cracked Earth Rhinoceros.”
“There are 19 Dragons, and besides Dabai, the rest have only recently advanced to Tier 2.”
“If more than six thousand Niu Ma guard the city walls, they have some combat power and can deal with low-tier skeletons, but they cannot be the main force on the battlefield.”
“If we launch an active attack, each warrior needs to deal with 46 skeletons.”
A voice as pleasant as a silver bell echoed through the meeting hall.
Lin Yi looked over.
It was Wang Qiu'er speaking.
She had just woken up from a dream to attend the meeting, dressed in a simple white cloth, with her hair loosely draped over her shoulders, and her watery eyes still carrying a hint of sleepy haze.
As the Human Resources Manager, after seeing the images of the approaching undead army, she immediately laid out the numerical relationship between the enemy and their side on paper.
“Qiu'er, continue.”
Lin Yi gave her an encouraging look and said softly.
“Mm…”
Wang Qiu'er was flattered, her cheeks flushed slightly, and after adjusting her emotions, she continued to express her thoughts, “This army is clearly directly controlled by the Witch Miss.”
“I just heard that General Xiang’s strength has improved. If she can join forces with Big Sister to carry out a beheading operation, the entire undead army will collapse.”
That was right.
These skeleton armies are all controlled by their summoners; once the summoner dies and loses the mental connection, they are just a bunch of bones that accidentally crawled out of the ground.
Xiang Yi and Wang Tiezhu, who currently have the strongest individual combat power and possess blessings that double damage to necromantic creatures, killing the Witch Miss amidst thousands of troops was not a pipe dream.
After hearing this tactic, most people nodded in agreement.
Especially Tie Zhu, the Big Sister.
She raised both hands and gestured towards Klara’s projected image, already thinking about how to give the Witch Miss a craniotomy massage.
“Stop…”
“No!”
Lin Yi’s eyes widened!
Damn it, if Klara died, who would he get discounts from in the future?
He took a sip of water to clear his throat and explained from a different perspective, “Wang Fugui and I have discussed this; currently, the territory needs a stable and massive source of experience.”
“The Witch Miss as a neighbor, being very close and able to continuously summon undead creatures, is an excellent target choice.”
“I see…” Wang Qiu'er pondered, if they didn't carry out a beheading operation, the difficulty of this battle would increase significantly.
“My Lord…”
Wang Fugui suddenly frowned and spoke, “We have all overlooked something.”
Lin Yi tapped his finger lightly on the table, nodding to signal the former to continue.
“Our warriors can be resurrected under your divine power, so winning the war is a foregone conclusion.” Wang Fugui said, then changed his tone, “But if we kill all the skeletons under the Witch Miss, it’s akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs! What will we do in the future?”
“When she sees us in the future, she’ll definitely be like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding everywhere.”
“The barrier is lifted, and our territory cannot move. What if no foreign races come to our doorstep? Wouldn’t the remaining half month be wasted?”
Old Wang also noticed the key point!
Lin Yi took a deep breath; this was also his concern.
He was afraid of hitting Klara too hard, what if she became determined to hide from him?
“My Lord…”
Wang Qiu'er suddenly spoke, hesitating slightly, “I have a method, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.”
Lin Yi nodded and said, “Tell me about it.”
Wang Qiu'er lightly tapped her finger on her brow, “Find a way to get a hold over her and use the Dream Network to forcibly sign an agreement with her!”
Hey!
Upon hearing this, a large light bulb appeared in Lin Yi’s mind!
That’s right.
There was also the Dream Network, a great weapon that could be utilized!
A hold over her?
Madam Klara, you wouldn’t want the fact that you’re a reborn person to be exposed, would you?
“What if the agreement signing fails?” Lin Yi suddenly thought that the success rate of forcibly signing an agreement through the Dream Network was not 100%.
“My Lord, don’t worry!”
Wang Qiu'er smiled charmingly, “Qiu'er has become increasingly proficient in Dream Network control recently, and she can now choose whether to erase the linked target’s memories in the dream.”
“Good, let’s do it!”
Lin Yi immediately made the decision.
The most worrying thing about this battle had been resolved; now he only needed to consider what kind of labor contract to sign with the Witch Miss.
The rest was how to end the war cleanly and efficiently, achieving maximum benefits with minimum losses!
“Now, let’s deploy the battle plan.”
Lin Yi sat up straight and leaned slightly forward, then looked at Wang Fugui and asked, “Have all the Freke tribesmen been baptized? How is the dilution test progressing?”
“Almost!” Wang Fugui immediately reported, “After experiments, the divine power contained in the spring water of the purification pool gradually dissipates once it leaves the pool. Any liquid entering the pool will be purified into sacred spring water free of impurities.”
“Using this method, with the sacred spring water after the divine power has decayed, we successfully enabled one hundred Cracked Earth Rhinoceros to possess the Light attribute, and their aptitude also increased to Mythical grade.”
“However, the blessing effect is only ‘Pure Purification’.”
The Cracked Earth Rhinoceros must become Light creatures to enjoy the resurrection characteristic.
This was quite important to Lin Yi.
The Freke tribe had just joined.
If they didn't have resurrection rights and were thrown into this battle.
Even if the territory residents wouldn't betray him!
Lin Yi also admitted that he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.
Since they had become Light creatures, the scope for action was much wider!
“One kind is enough!”
Lin Yi nodded, then touched his storage ring with his fingertip.
Whoosh—
A flat piece of animal hide unfolded on the table.
It had a hand-drawn, simple topographic map of a 30-kilometer radius centered on the territory.
Lin Yi stood up and pointed at the map.
“To our west is a dense forest, where many Blue Star Lords are also stationed, so the undead army cannot attack from this direction.”
“The forest terrain is complex, severely restricting the undead army’s marching speed, and they might also face desperate resistance from other Lords.”
“Although the east is a plain, the path is cut off by a river.”
“If Klara wants to attack us, she can only come from the southern basin…”
Speaking of this, Lin Yi’s eyes gleamed, “This time, we will annihilate her undead army completely, making full preparations for the upcoming barrier opening!”
“And no one is more familiar with this basin than us.”
“This is where we previously hunted the Fiery Magic Leopard; it’s full of scattered rocks, has narrow passages, and is only ten kilometers from the territory…”
“My plan is like this…”
Lin Yi pressed his hands on the table, slowly explaining.
A cold gust of wind blew in from outside the window, extinguishing several candles in the hall.
His shadow instantly elongated, enveloping everyone.
One well-ordered battle plan after another poured from his mouth.
The further into the plan they went, the more astonished everyone felt.
They couldn't help but all turn their gazes to Lin Yi, as if looking at a ghost.
It wasn't until Lin Yi’s throat was dry and he had finished explaining everything that he noticed their unusual behavior.
“What… do I have something on my face?” Lin Yi gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, somewhat confused, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“My Lord…” Wang Fugui seemed still immersed in the battle plan he had just heard, and deliberated, “May I be so bold as to ask, what was your profession before? How are you… so proficient in military matters?”
The others also cast similar puzzled looks.
Everyone present.
Perhaps they all had a specialty in various aspects, but there was not a single qualified military strategist among them.
The plan Lin Yi had just laid out, while not earth-shattering, had a detailed plan for every minute detail of the entire battlefield.
It might not be the best, but it was definitely the most stable!
To put it bluntly.
Lin Yi, in their eyes at this moment, was simply like a different person compared to before.
“Oh, that… Back in a virtual world, I gambled tens of thousands of times against many legendary commanders and even crazy AIs.”
“Military command, just a little, just a little…”
Seeing everyone shocked by the mysterious new vocabulary, Lin Yi’s lips curled slightly.
Did they really think his titles as a P-game player, Mount & Blade lord, Red Alert meat-man, and Warcraft pianist cyber executioner were for nothing?
Multi-tasking was effortless!
