"And other advanced cities don’t have the tall city defenses like Congyun City. It’s an extremely labor-intensive task to build up fortifications from scratch."

"Therefore, my suggestion is that we should hold fast to Congyun City. Mobilize support from the various Martial Arts Sects in Congyun City and deploy reinforcements from other advanced cities to construct a defensive line."

"An annihilation-class demigod is powerful, but he alone cannot manage a population of millions. If he wants to capture Congyun City, he must initiate a full-scale battle. As long as we can severely damage the 100,000 troops from Tuoya State, there’s hope to keep the enemy outside the state."

As soon as he finished speaking, another officer immediately countered, "The deputy envoy’s words are inappropriate."

The officer said, "Congyun City just went through a demigod battle. Although the city defense facilities look usable, no one knows their true condition. Perhaps just one wave of attacks could completely shatter them."

"Therefore, holding steadfast to Congyun City is too risky, one misstep and we’ll lose everything, the risk is too great."

"Moreover, I don’t think city defense facilities will have any effect in a war of this scale."

"Additionally, there are at least three demigods with physical descent, including the traitorous demigod from the Zeng Family in Tuoya State."

"Even though they can’t manage millions of people, they can directly break down city defenses and pinpointly eliminate mid-level and high-ranking officers on the battlefield."

"So, we cannot look at this war with the mentality of the Spirit Realm Mountain’s wars, we need a different mindset."

Having said this, the officer glanced around at everyone present and firmly declared, "My suggestion is to directly abandon the fortifications, abandon the city!"

Upon hearing the officer’s words, the Tiger King glared and said, "Abandon fortifications, abandon the city?! Are you mad? Are you planning to rush up and fight them directly?"

The young officer shook his head, "No. Sir, we have military bases."

"This is the most powerful creation of technology and law by the Federation in fifty years. It has demigod-equivalent capabilities."

"I think, at this point, we must let go of fantasies and switch our thinking."

"Although this is our homeland, we don’t actually have the advantage of the right time, the right place, or the right people, so we are at an absolute disadvantage. There must not be too much burden."

Having said this, he stood up and pointed to several points on the Phantom Sand Table, saying, "We need to trade space for time, extend the battlefront!"

"Since the fortifications are ineffective, we will not use them. If they plan to invade our Xida State, then let them have the cities, and instead, we will become the guests in their land."

"Divide their forces, continuously weaken their strength to control the cities. Then rely on the mobility of the military base to constantly harass and nibble at their battle lines, engage in guerrilla warfare!"

The approach mentioned by the young officer was something the senior officers present hadn’t considered. But after listening to the young officer’s words and thinking it through, they found that the approach did have a certain feasibility, the only problem was... it was too bold a move.

The enemy had not yet attacked, yet suggesting the abandonment of a semi-territory, leaving the people to face the brunt of Tuoya State’s forces alone, not only easily forfeiting the people’s trust but also risking federal accountability.

At this moment, however, the three leaders of the Commoner Faction exchanged glances.

The lower-ranked officers were unaware of the harsh realities of this war, but they knew. After completely sealing off the Xida State border, they hadn’t hoped that Xida State could leave behind any creatures.

Scorched earth policy, preparing to massacre a city at key moments to prevent Outer Realm demigods’ ascent was the worst plan they’d conceived before.

By comparison, this strategy of abandoning cities and concentrating forces to continuously harass is far too merciful. Besides, as long as logistics are managed well, this strategy has more chances of success than the other plans. And even if it ultimately fails, this plan can still probe the true strength of Tuoya State’s forces and those Outer Realm demigods to the fullest extent.

With this in mind, the three leaders wanted to initiate a discussion about this plan.

Just when the three leaders had intentions but had not yet spoken, suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside.

Moments later, a Black Clothed member of the Special Service Department burst in.

Seeing the Black Clothed member, the officers present suddenly fell silent. The Black Clothed member was unfazed, giving a formal salute to the officers present before quickly walking over to Black Shark and whispering a few words.

Upon hearing this, Black Shark looked at him in surprise and confirmed, "Are you serious?"

The Black Clothed member nodded.

Seeing his subordinate confirm this, Black Shark hesitated for a moment, motioned for the Black Clothed member to leave, then quietly said to He Weidao and Xiong Qi, "Just now the subordinates reported that someone used a large Spatial Treasure outside Congyun City to steal Old Mr. Bai and Galan Houde’s demigod battlefield."

He Weidao, Xiong Qi: ???

The two looked at each other in amazement, then couldn’t help asking, "Steal the battlefield? Can the battle traces of demigods be stolen?"

Black Shark also looked puzzled and said, "I don’t believe it either. But it’s as the subordinates reported."

He Weidao, Xiong Qi: ....

This bizarre event directly disrupted the thoughts of the three. Ultimately, it was He Weidao who first waved off the topic, saying, "Forget it. It doesn’t matter. If it’s stolen, it’s stolen."
