Chapter 932: Chapter 243: All Sides Shocked—How Did Fang Ze Pull It Off?!

At this moment, He Weidao’s brows were tightly furrowed together, the situation had deteriorated so quickly that he couldn’t make a decision for a moment.

On one hand, he felt that the situation had reached its most critical point; the demigod’s true body had taken action, Fang Ze was in grave danger, and he had to step in to rescue him. On the other hand, he felt something was amiss; would someone as cunning as Fang Ze go to the front lines without a life-saving trump card and backup? That’s his style.

However, despite his hesitation, He Weidao didn’t dare gamble on whether Fang Ze had a backup plan that he hadn’t used. After all, if he gambled and won, it would only prove his judgement without any practical effect. If he lost, humanity’s chances would greatly diminish!

With this in mind, He Weidao made up his mind, slapped the table, and said to Black Shark, "Rescue him!"

"At all costs, even if it goes against Fang Ze’s wishes, we must get him out of the Congyun City battlefield alive!"

Perhaps because he had made up his mind, He Weidao’s thoughts became incredibly agile. After giving instructions to Black Shark, he turned to Xiong Qi and said, "Have the military base hidden near Congyun City reveal itself and contain the attacks of the demigod’s true body!"

"Have the Defense Team’s third, fifth, and sixth divisions move towards the rear of Tuoya State to force them to fall back!"

After giving out these orders, He Weidao looked at the assistant standing beside him and commanded, "Finally, activate the council’s mandatory Teleportation Treasure, I want to personally go to Congyun City."

Upon hearing He Weidao’s words, his assistant was stunned for a moment and then vehemently opposed, "Chairperson! You mustn’t!"

"You are a state chairperson, carrying the hope of the entire state. Going to the front lines personally is too dangerous! If something happens, the entire state will be finished!"

"Moreover, if the provincial government activates the Spatial Treasure at this time and locates it near the battlefield, once the Outer Realm demigods capture the spatial coordinates and directly teleport to the provincial government, it would fall immediately!"

He Weidao waved his hand at these words and angrily rebuked, "At this point, you’re still considering these matters! If you decide Congyun City falls, how long do you think the provincial government will remain safe? Besides..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud shout of "battle report" suddenly came from outside!

A moment later, a black-clothed member of the Special Service Department ran into the conference room excitedly, saying, "Chairperson! Minister! They’ve retreated! The Outer Realm demigods from Tuoya State have really retreated this time!"

Hearing the black-clothed member’s words, He Weidao froze in place, turned around, and asked, "What’s going on?"

The black-clothed member hurriedly explained, "Our covert operatives are too far away to clearly understand the situation."

"He just said that at the moment the demigod’s true body took action, Councilman Fang Ze seemed to do something, and a mysterious aura suddenly surged around."

"The aura was withdrawn as soon as it emerged, not fully released, but the Outer Realm demigods seemed to have seen a ghost, fleeing like stray dogs."

"Even the retreat speed of Tuoya State’s army accelerated significantly. It’s no exaggeration to say they fled like panic-stricken soldiers."

"Furthermore, the outer covert operatives have confirmed this news. Now, Tuoya State’s army has already withdrawn in batches back to within Tuoya State for rest."

"However, the vanguard has not retreated, and it’s still moving through Xida State, unclear on what they’re doing."

Upon hearing the black-clothed person’s words, the scene fell into complete silence.

From He Weidao to the advisors of the Federal Defense Team, they were all full of questions.

There was only one thought in their minds: What exactly did Fang Ze do?

Was it just releasing an aura that scared off the Outer Realm demigods?

Were these demigods made of paper? Scared away so easily?

There was even a destruction-level demigod among them! This is too strange!

With these thoughts, the people present couldn’t help but exchange glances, seeing surprise and doubt in each other’s eyes.

Thus, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence once again.

As time passed, it was still the young officer Huo Xian who regained his composure and remembered the matter at hand first.

He moved to the Phantom Sand Table, tapped a few times, and soon, the current positions of Tuoya State’s army and several possible invasion locations appeared on the Phantom Sand Table.

He scrutinized it for a moment, then pointed to a major city and said, "Taihe City!"

"Tuoya State’s next target is likely Taihe City."

Seeing everyone’s eyes drawn to him, he explained, "Tuoya State borders both Xida State and Yunlan State. However, Yunlan State borders Tang State, making it impossible for the Outer Realm demigods to overly pressure Emperor Li in the early stages, so Tang State must be their last target."

"To achieve this strategic goal, the Outer Realm demigods only have one choice: use Xida State as a breakthrough point to devour other states."

"In the invasion plan for Xida State, Congyun City is their best choice for advancing. It’s close to Tuoya State, convenient for retreat, and serves as the shield of Xida State. Once broken, the dozen or so major cities in Xida State’s hinterlands would all be at the mercy of their troops."

"And if they can’t capture Congyun City, their next choice is only one: Taihe City. Among the cities adjacent to Tuoya State, only Taihe City is the farthest from Congyun City, the deployment route can bypass Congyun City, and won’t be cut off by Congyun City."
