Chapter 927: 242. Repelling the Demigod’s Army of 100,000! (7,000 words)

"The army of the outland demigods in Tuoya State has moved!"

"The army of the outland demigods is heading towards Congyun City!"

"Among the army formations of the outland demigods, there are at least three demigod-level experts, as well as several demigods who have sent down their clones!"

With Fang Ze’s reminder, almost as soon as Tuoya State’s army started moving, Xida State received the relevant information.

Pieces of intelligence were conveyed through the airwaves to the residence of Xida State’s Chairperson, allowing He Weidao and others to obtain the relevant information about the war situation at the first moment.

Looking at the increasingly clear marching route of Tuoya State, Inspector Xiong Qi sighed softly, "It seems that Fang Ze’s heart is truly with the Federation."

"To receive such a secret and important piece of information, and to choose to tell you first."

"This piece of information could be worth tens of thousands of troops."

Hearing his words, He Weidao, while looking at the Phantom Sand Table, retorted, "Don’t be so naive."

"It’s just a piece of intelligence, and cannot determine one’s stance. Who knows if he’s deliberately trying to gain our trust?"

Speaking of this, He Weidao also realized that he was being too demanding, so he paused and then added,

"Moreover, regardless of his stance, since he is a noble, he can only play in the latter half (after the world is destroyed). In the first half, we can only rely on ourselves, we can’t rely on anyone."

Hearing his words, Xiong Qi immediately fell silent.

Meanwhile, He Weidao, after watching the Phantom Sand Table seriously for a while, suddenly said to the Black Clothed officer from the Special Service Department, "Make sure to deliver a copy of Tuoya State’s military reports to Congyun City, but delay it by two minutes."

"Additionally, inform Congyun City that the enemy is not something they can block, so non-combat personnel are allowed to evacuate from Congyun City."

"Combat personnel... can also evacuate when necessary."

Hearing his words, the message-delivering Black Clothed officer immediately saluted and said, "Yes."

And hearing his arrangements, Xiong Qi and Black Shark exchanged a glance and both saw a smile in each other’s eyes.

Despite He Weidao’s ruthless attitude towards nobles, he is truly a good chairperson. For over a decade, he has taken people’s livelihood as his responsibility, governing Xida State in an orderly manner, with the citizens living and working in peace and happiness.

Therefore, when the military threat from Tuoya State was directed at Xida State, the one who felt the most pain was actually him...

After giving out the orders, He Weidao stood up, walked around the Phantom Sand Table a couple of times, observed carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head, judging, "Congyun City cannot be defended. The disparity in strength is too great."

Hearing his words, the young officer who first proposed guerilla warfare suddenly spoke up, "Chairperson, I think it’s not so certain. Maybe a miracle will happen?"

Hearing his words, He Weidao couldn’t help but look at him.

The young officer looked at He Weidao, laughed heartily, and then said, "I have heard many deeds of Chairperson Fang Ze, and I know he is not a person with a rigid mind."

"We all know the disparity in strength is so great, he definitely knows as well. With his personality, if there is no possibility of victory, he wouldn’t be so stubborn as to continue defending Congyun City."

"So, very likely, he has a method to break the situation. He wants to take a gamble."

Hearing the words of that young officer, He Weidao couldn’t help but become thoughtful.

At this time, Tiger King slowly opened his mouth and said, "However, I remember Fang Ze is not in Congyun City, right? So what you’re saying doesn’t hold."

The young officer spoke up, "Deputy officer, I think my analysis holds. Although Chairperson Fang Ze is not within the state, his legitimate lineage is still in Congyun City and has not evacuated."

"The first to know about Tuoya State’s military movement time was Chairperson Fang Ze. If he genuinely wanted to evacuate, he wouldn’t neglect them."

"Therefore, Chairperson Fang Ze must have his own thinking."

Hearing his unique yet convincing train of thought, He Weidao couldn’t help but take a deep look at him and then inquired, "What’s your name?"

The young officer smiled and saluted He Weidao, saying, "Reporting to the Chairperson. My name is Huo Xian, currently serving as a senior staff officer in the Federation Defense Team."

Upon hearing this, He Weidao took another deep glance at him and then slightly nodded, as if remembering this name.

For a moment, He Weidao’s gaze once again fell on the Phantom Sand Table, becoming incomparably deep...

He felt that Huo Xian had a point. Based on his understanding of Fang Ze’s character, if things were truly irredeemable, Fang Ze would certainly withdraw his legitimate lineage to preserve their strength.

However, Fang Ze hadn’t done so now, could it be... he really has a way to survive the desperate situation? But what could it be?

This time, He Weidao really couldn’t guess...

...

Meanwhile, as He Weidao speculated about Fang Ze’s plan, Fang Ze himself had boarded Yuan Gu’s war chariot.

This time, with Dahei Jialuo’s personal guidance, Fang Ze was much more confident and composed.

So, upon seeing Yuan Gu, Fang Ze, following Dahei Jialuo’s guidance, made an odd gesture: thumbs aligned, index and middle fingers of both hands crossed, and pinkies raised.

When the gesture was made, the ghost fire in Yuan Gu’s pupils suddenly flickered slightly. However, he said nothing and just looked silently at Fang Ze.

Seeing this, Fang Ze didn’t add anything else. He knelt on one knee and then said to Yuan Gu, "Father, I have not completed the task you assigned me to find the World Origin. Please punish me!"

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, the ghost fire in Yuan Gu’s pupils looked deeply at Fang Ze, just watching, and after a while, he slowly spoke but indeed started talking about the previous topic, "If I hadn’t just confirmed your Soul Aura had no anomalies, I would’ve really suspected you had been replaced by someone else."

Fang Ze explained according to Dahei Jialuo’s teaching, "Earlier, several other demigods were present, making it inconvenient to use cryptic language. And the matter of Bai Qingcang was too urgent, causing me to lose my composure momentarily. Hence the impoliteness."

Venerable Yuan Gu wasn’t easily fooled by Fang Ze’s brief explanation. He looked down at Fang Ze from above and spoke hoarsely, "You’re hundreds, thousands of years old now. You shouldn’t be so hasty when handling things."
