Chapter 821: Chapter 821
After a while, the happy waiter left with the silver in hand, leaving only Du You and two others in the room.
"This world is roughly comprised of three countries, very similar to the historical Three Kingdoms period, only with some added strong figures, which actually makes it somewhat like the tale from the Romance," Du You spoke, tapping on the table.
"Indeed, but we still don’t understand the real internal situation. What he just mentioned, it should be that Wu Country has the most Tian Gang Martial Artists and is the strongest in terms of powerful individuals, but is the weakest of the three nations."
"Gu Country excels in Mechanism Skill, probably involving various types of machinery or perhaps some other things we don’t know about. Lastly, there’s Liang Country, the strongest in terms of strength, mainly because they have the largest population. Therefore, they also have the most soldiers, which makes their military formations the strongest, enabling them to become the most powerful country."
Having arrived in this Derived World, time ratios were completely different from the outside world, providing Du You and the others with ample time. Fresh chapters posted on novel※fire.net
"Each of the three nations has a Martial God, referred to by the civilians as terrestrial immortals, supposedly capable of fighting an army single-handedly. But analyzing the descriptions, it seems they can at most destroy a military formation by themselves."
While analyzing the information they had just received, Du You said: "So these people must be of the fourth tier, but how strong they actually are is unknown. We have to see for ourselves. However, it seems they shouldn’t be a match for us."
"Even if they are formidable, we have three of us," Lin Yushi said, wrinkling her nose in dissatisfaction.
Du You nodded lightly; she wasn’t wrong. As a nation’s Martial God, there seemed to be only one openly, but in reality, there couldn’t be too many. Indeed, without a Martial God, given their own strength, any number of soldiers wouldn’t matter to them.
"Master, how should we strategize? With our strength, we could easily become officials within one of the nations first."
Lin Yucha began analyzing: "There are two paths, one is to become a local official and secretly develop an army until it’s strong enough to rebel. The time span in this world is quite extensive, enough for us to plan."
Lin Yucha raised a second finger: "The second method is to consolidate power step by step, climbing up through the official ranks. If we control it well, it won’t take long to dominate the political landscape. By then, to take complete control of a nation as our foundation isn’t out of the question, although the subsequent troubles might increase somewhat."
This was a typical strategy for sweeping across the world, and with their vision surpassing that of this era, along with their strength, accomplishing this wasn’t difficult. In fact, most people in such planes did exactly this.
What genuinely needed consideration was the different difficulty levels of each world, nothing more.
"There’s an even better way, one that suits us more. Since this world’s power isn’t strong enough, we can just overpower our way through it. We don’t want to control this world’s people, we want the world itself. Even if we exterminate everyone, as long as the world’s cycle continues, it will recover, so this time let’s play the role of the big bad demon lord."
A glint of sharpness flashed in Du You’s eyes: "Moreover, this approach is the most efficient. To draw out the World Origin for refining, the best way to overturn a world is to start killing from one end to the other, as many have proven."
This was not an idea that Du You came up with himself, but it had been proven to work effectively.
With sufficient strength at their disposal, why worry about any schemes or strategies? They were not necessary.
"Might this be too dangerous? If it causes the world to resist, it could increase the difficulty," someone queried.
Du You shook his head: "It’s trivial. Even if it becomes more difficult, it doesn’t matter. The levels in this world are limited. Adding a few fourth-tier enemies would merely be bringing us an easy meal."
Since the master had made a decision, Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha saw no point in objecting.
After finishing their meal, Du You inquired about the location of the Liang Country’s Capital, and then flew off with his two sisters, leaving the town behind.
This world didn’t seem to place much emphasis on flying mounts, possibly because there weren’t many large flying creatures, so nobody was particularly vigilant against the sky, which made Du You’s actions more convenient.
Indeed, the world was not small. Du You spent a full two days traveling before he arrived at the Capital with his two sisters.
However, upon arrival, Du You and his sisters didn’t immediately start an assault, but sneaked in stealthily, posing as civilians to gather intelligence. First, they needed to get a clear picture of the specific military situation of Liang Country and other nations.
After spending another two days, Lin Yucha finally found an opportunity to sneak into the Military Affairs Office using the Demon Concealment Skill, and brought back a copy of important intelligence. This world did not yet possess the concept of photocopying such material.
"Look at this, Liang Country’s largest military force zones total eight, including one inside the Capital. So first we take out this military zone, and then command the Demon Extermination Spirit to strike the Capital. If we move quickly, in just one day, the Capital of Liang Country will inevitably be destroyed, and then Liang Country will fall into chaos," pointed out Du You.
He continued, "After that, the other two nations will either come to take advantage and benefit or their internal conflicts will erupt, but in any case, it will surely be a time of great upheaval. By then, we’ll eliminate the military zones one by one, which will surely be successful."
"Master is thinking of using Destruction Flames, right? With that ability as our foundation, indeed there should be no problems."
The Tian Gang Martial Artists of this world were said to have strong bursts of power, but not over large areas. This world lacked means to resist large-scale magic attacks, and as such, a mage like Du You was their nemesis.
It was fortunate that this world fell into their hands first; had the Academy gotten to it, they would surely have sought to quickly take control. Many worlds used by students in the Academy followed this approach.
After completely understanding the intelligence and ensuring there were no problems, the threesome finally began their operation.
That evening, they quietly approached a forest near the Capital. In the midst of the forest, there was a large clearing, which was the main encampment of the troops stationed at the Capital.
Although there were other locations, this one was the most important, housing a full fifty thousand troops. Having such a large force near the Capital was indeed a significant assembly.
Du You nodded: "Leave it to you." Instead of making a move himself, Du You let Lin Yushi take action.
Lin Yushi wasted no time, unleashing Thunderstorm Arrow, methodically hunting down the soldiers before her, with no intention of hiding her presence. As thunder and lightning exploded, the Demon Extermination Spirits rose. The battle power of these spirits might not be very strong, but against human creatures, particularly those without special defenses, they were deadly.
