Chapter 935: Chapter 244: Late-Night Investigation Room Upgraded Again! The Third Room Opens!

At the same time.

Tuoya State, Outer Realm Demigod Army Camp.

Perhaps due to the successive failed invasions, a sense of unease permeated the entire camp at this time.

Originally, these soldiers from Tuoya State had been brainwashed over the years by Galan Houde and Dahei Jialuo, believing that the Outer Realm demigods were destined by fate to be invincible. They saw themselves as messengers of destiny, sent to punish the sinners of the world, destroy the world, and reshape humanity.

When the world was destroyed and everything settled, they believed they would be accepted by the gods, taken into the Divine Country (Demigod Secret Realm), and granted eternal indestructible lifespans.

However, with the series of recent events, they were surprised to find that things did not develop as they had expected.

As representatives of destiny, they had been thwarted twice in succession, and more grievously, their demigods: the omnipotent Galan Demigod was killed as soon as they went into battle. The other powerful peak demigod, Peacock God King, was also injured rescuing Galan Demigod.

Actually, if it had been just this, it might still have been acceptable. After all, Galan Demigod and Peacock God King were only peak demigods. So, when the Destruction-level demigod arrived, the soldiers instantly felt confident again, believing the situation would reverse!

Yet today, the Destruction-level demigod was scared back immediately after taking action, stunning all the soldiers.

This string of failures genuinely left the soldiers feeling disheartened, starting to question whether the "destiny" they had been indoctrinated with was indeed correct....

.....

Meanwhile, in the central military camp.

Although the Outer Realm demigods sensed the shift in morale, they didn’t pay much heed and were instead holding a small meeting.

The meeting included seven demigods from Tuoya State.

As soon as the meeting began, Yuan Gu set the tone, glancing at Fang Ze seated to his right, and started speaking slowly, "The reason we were able to retreat safely this time is primarily due to Garo’s efforts."

"Had it not been for him uncovering the enemy’s real situation and seeing through their plot in advance, we might have suffered losses again this time."

As he spoke, seeing the demigods below still a bit unconvinced, Yuan Gu raised his skeletal hand, picked up a military report on the table, waved his hand, and it instantly turned into six copies, flying into the hands of several demigods.

The demigods took the reports curiously, glanced at them, and were instantly surprised.

For the report noted that during the Tuoya State army’s attack on Congyun City, demigod-level military bases in Xida State and Yunlan State had been watching closely from the border.

It was only because they were using special cloaking materials and remained inactive that they had not been discovered.

In addition, four divisions of the Xida State Defense Team had been lurking on the flanks of the Tuoya State army and attempted to envelope them when Yuan Gu took action.

It was only because Yuan Gu retreated quickly that the enemy didn’t succeed.

If earlier some demigods had doubted the intelligence Fang Ze provided, or even suspected Old Mr. Bai’s resurrection as a trick, seeing this series of intelligence now, they no longer doubted.

Instead, they felt fortunate in their hearts!

Meanwhile, Fang Ze, knowing that the battle at Congyun City was just a decoy, was filled with surprise.

What on earth?

He Weidao actually secretly deployed forces, lurking near Congyun City, waiting for an opportunity to act?

Could it be.... he wants to cooperate with me?

Due to the limited intelligence, Fang Ze was momentarily unable to analyze the truth of the matter.

However, although puzzled, he did not show it, and even deliberately displayed an "as expected" expression. Thus, the demigods observing him secretly trusted him even more.

At this time, after the demigods finished reading the report, Yuan Gu slowly spoke again, "Furthermore, this loss reminds us to be cautious. The creatures of this Reincarnation World are cunning and deceitful."

"In addition, since this cycle world is a grand world, these creatures have considerable strength and eerie abilities. So, we must be extremely careful."

Having said that, Yuan Gu’s skeletal hand grasped forward, and the Power of Laws condensed, causing a simple sand table to appear in the council hall.

The sand table made entirely of bones, the sand on it all bone powder, but its malleability allowed for an exquisitely simulated terrain, with all major cities marked with models.

After the sand table took shape, Yuan Gu’s hand pointed at a city model and said to the demigods, "This is Taihe City."

"It was the alternative target in the Xida State attack plan I and Garo formulated."

"Currently, with an unknown depth of a demigod stationed in Congyun City, we can’t move for now. So, it’s the perfect choice."

Then, he looked up at Fang Ze and asked, "There shouldn’t be a demigod of Bai Qingcang’s level lying in wait in Taihe City, right?"

Suddenly questioned by Yuan Gu, Fang Ze was momentarily stunned.

He wanted to help provide cover for Taihe City but doing so was too obvious. So after hesitating for a brief moment, he replied ambiguously, "I don’t know either."

"The opposition might have pre-arranged forces in Taihe City—or maybe not."

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Yuan Gu pondered slightly and then looked at Peacock God King and Zeng Family Ancestor, saying, "In that case, we’ll play it safe. Peacock, you, and Zeng Yi each lead twenty thousand soldiers to launch a two-pronged attack on Taihe City."

"Don’t worry about casualties, and don’t hold back your strength."

"My requirement is that unless you two encounter a life-threatening situation, capture Taihe City at all costs to break through the Xida State defense line!"

"Understood!" Peacock God King and Zeng Family Ancestor stood up and cupped their hands in acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Yuan Gu’s gaze swept over the other demigods and said, "As for everyone present, you’ll join me to hold the central army for now."

"Then move the central army forward 20 kilometers, positioning between Congyun City and Taihe City, ready to reinforce Taihe City or cover Peacock and the others’ retreat."

The other demigods also cupped their hands in response.

After finalizing all the arrangements, Yuan Gu swung his skeletal hand grandly and said, "Alright! Then it’s decided! This operation must succeed without fail!"

"Understood!"

Just like that, the plan to raid Taihe City was set, and the entire Tuoya State army began to move again!

The successive demoralizing actions had indeed impacted the soldiers’ morale, so upon setting out again, Fang Ze could clearly see the confusion and exhaustion on their faces.
