Chapter 373: Chapter 373

Seeing Xi Qianxue, Du You spread his hands and said, "What should we do next? Border City has begun a full-scale reduction of their troops, preparing for the final talks. What can we do?"

Du You also felt helpless, unable to push against the tide, this time he was truly stuck. It would be better to charge out and continuously attack a city. The effects of wiping them out from the edges will be better.

Although there will be some trouble and danger, with his own strength, it is not impossible to destroy such a city. Changing the battle situation between the two sides will be easier in such a case.

Xi Qianxue immediately began to analyze, "First, let’s estimate according to the previous intelligence. This negotiation will surely fail. Wood Shield City will use the excuse of negotiation to draw Border City’s attention and then launch a sudden attack. Border City will suffer huge losses again, even their four generals will lose two."

This was also the information Xi Qianxue had collected before.

"Under such losses, Border City will have no more hesitations and will engage in an all-out war with Wood Shield City. Eventually, both will suffer losses. Only under pressure from their respective empires behind them, they will reunite, but the relationship between them will have cracks."

"During the whole process, the Beastman City will just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight without showing any interest in taking advantage. But if this world continues to evolve, the situation on the Border side would likely be unfavorable."

In other words, when the two cities suffer losses, the world will reach its end, and then it will begin to evolve again.

"So does that mean, we have to wait for their negotiation before we continue the fight?"

"Of course not, we don’t have that much time because the talks will start in half a month and the talks will take more than a month since Wood Shield City needs time. This way, we would lose most of our time."

This was indeed a problem: "So what do you plan to do then." Du You asked for Xi Qianxue’s plan.

Xi Qianxue already had a plan in mind: "So, their credit and position this time are very important. If the credit is small, I will give you all the credit. We must have a deputy commander."

"The deputy commander has the power of commanding his own soldiers. Even if the city lord commands us to fully shrink and not continue attacking Wood Shield City, as the deputy commander, we can still leave the city to attack the enemy."

Unexpectedly, there was such a power, this must be part of Xi Qianxue’s plan that connected one link to another.

"So what should we do next, continue to fight, to disrupt the negotiation? If so, I’m afraid our reputation here will be completely ruined, making it easy for our actions to be affected." Du You is not foolish.

Xi Qianxue smiled slightly: "We just need to attack, of course, it will cause blame, but what if we can find evidence?"

"What do you mean?" Du You seemed to have thought of something.

"Evidence of the alliance between Wood Shield City and Beastman City. As long as we find this, Wood Shield City will become everyone’s target, not to mention us, even the two fictitious empires behind us, they won’t let them continue either."

"What do you mean?" Du You’s eyes brightened, he roughly understood what Xi Qianxue wanted to do.

"This is the focus of our layout. This time, we mainly came here for this batch of supplies. No matter whether we destroy or bring them back, it’s the same. A large part of this batch of supplies is supposed to be paid to Beastman City. With it taken away by us, Wood Shield City has to give Beastman City an explanation. As long as we can achieve this point, then a new plot will open where the upper class of Wood Shield City and the personnel from Beastman City meet."

"Then, as long as we seize the chance when they are making the deal, record what they are doing, and bring back some evidence, there’s no need for negotiation. Border City will then launch an all-out attack against Wood Shield City."

Alright, Du You sort of understood, using all kinds of information, implementing the setup comprehensively, step by step to the end. This is really what a professional should do.

If it were him, Du You shook his head - he wouldn’t analyze step by step. Unless the opponent is too strong and leaves him no choice. Otherwise, as long as he can beat them, Du You does not want to waste so much time.

It seems easy to make use of the situation, but it doesn’t suit his style. He was an elite with high stars and two professions, such powerful fighting power. If he needed to rely on the situation to complete missions, wouldn’t that be too boring?

The key point is, Du You liked to engage in fights and think less, it’s tiring.

"So our next plan is to create some havoc, do you know the exact time yet?"

"Of course I do, it’s in two days, in a mountain cave at the border, but we can layout in advance. The upper class of both sides will be meeting this time, so there will be many powerful figures present."

With a look of disdain, Du You said, "Are they more powerful than us?"

"There might be one mage showing up, which could be problematic. Let’s get rid of that mage first, then there will be no other problems."

After giving out the instructions, the team dispersed, each preparing for their own things. By noon, the team regrouped, found a random excuse, and left the city.

Although their destructive powers are massive and the upper class of the city paid very close attention to them, it wasn’t easy to keep track of them once they left the city.

Speeding up slightly, they easily lost anyone pursuing them. They quickly arrived at the border between Beastman City and Border City. That’s right, it wasn’t the border with Wood Shield City. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

The business talks were held here. Although it seemed dangerous, the focus of Border City was on Wood Shield City, and they inevitably neglected their own border.

Xi Qianxue led the team to a very secluded cave. After walking a few tens of meters in, the path opened up. There was a large stone room inside which was very open and dry. There were two holes on top to let sunlight in. With the sunlight, the cave looked much brighter.

"I really have to hand it to you, even a place you’re able to find."

"This wasn’t found by us, but discovered by many people who explored this world unintentionally. It’s a good place for meetings but has seldom been used. This time, having conducted the previous setup, forcing the people from Wood Shield City to discuss with the beastmen, we were able to reactivate this place." This plan really was set up in stages.
