The moon sets and the stars sink, the night gradually fades away, and the sky in the east turns white.
The conference room was filled with smoke.
The front line is no more stable than the rear area, and the physical improvement brought by the route has been accurately converted into working hours by senior commanders.
Involution is the norm, and fourteen hours is standard.
At the level of commander, basically everyone will stick to around 16 hours, for fear of losing face and being less honorable than others.
And although there is currently no fighting on the front line, it has entered a rare stage of repair.
However, the introduction of the virtual realm has made many people busier than before. As the saying goes, one small practice every three days and one big practice every five days.
Command opportunities that were rare in the past can be simulated in the virtual realm at any time. Even if some commanders in charge of logistics get the opportunity, they can rely on the time saved by No. 0 to go to the virtual realm and lead tens of thousands of people in the virtual realm.
Fight with the aliens.
After staying up all night, most people had worked for more than twenty-six hours. Except for a few younger commanders who could still hold on, the others more or less relied on tobacco to stay awake.
"Breakfast is here, get up and eat some, and then think about it after you finish."
Feng Long personally brought people over to deliver breakfast, pushing several large iron buckets.
Inside was multigrain and meat porridge that had been cooked for half the night. As soon as the lid of the bucket was opened, the fragrant smell immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Go ahead, there's a lot of information compiled tonight, don't rush it."
After Su Deben spoke, the commanders in twos and threes got up and went to eat next door.
However, some people took advantage of this opportunity and came over with the compiled information to report to Su Deben.
"Commander, I think we still have to fight next, and we have to hit hard, and we can't let the aliens gain momentum!"
The commander from Longqi, the God of Death ‘White Sword’ who annihilated the Centaurs in the last battle, came over with a stack of analysis data.
"Tell me what you think?" Su Deben put down the information in his hand and raised his head slightly as if listening.
"Okay, that's what I thought."
Bai Jian pulled up a stool and explained the idea he had been thinking about all night.
"Since Chairman Su has chosen to hide his identity and go to the hinterland of the east alone, I think there are two concerns. First, the spies within us who cannot be swept out at the moment will expose Chairman Su's whereabouts and cause trouble. Second,
Chairman Su has his own plans, and it may be better to hide his identity."
"Let's go deeper with these two ideas. If Chairman Su is worried about being exposed and his whereabouts are now known to the aliens, we should attack quickly to share the attention of the aliens and reduce the pressure on Chairman Su."
"And if Chairman Su has his own plans, since there is no news coming back now, we shouldn't tie our hands. Why not just follow the normal strategy and wait until there is more information before making changes?"
Bai Jian's summary is based on everyone's discussion throughout the night.
What is certain is that the alien race is making too big a move now, and Sumo, who has gone deep into the eastern hinterland, must have discovered it.
But the reason why the frontline has not received the news so far is due to several reasons.
Either Somo is too brave and thinks that these actions are not threatening at all.
Either Sumo is worried about the front line and doesn't think these actions will have any impact.
Another possibility is that Sumo also has his own plans, so there is no need to contact the front line. If the traitor finds out, it will cause trouble.
"It is difficult for the eight million members of our Nova Corps to do some small actions, especially assigning some tasks to interfere with the sight of aliens. Otherwise, it may trigger another large-scale battle between the two parties, so we have mercenaries."
"But Chairman Su is different. He only has one person. He can come and leave whenever he wants. Foreigners can't control it at all. They are much more flexible than us."
"So now we can't throw away our advantages to find our own disadvantages. The best option is to temporarily ignore the fact that Chairman Su is in the eastern hinterland. This way, Chairman Su can have no constraints in the east and can ensure his own safety at any time."
"Well said!"
Su Deben's eyes shone slightly, and he was satisfied with Bai Jian's proposal.
When he was initially panicking, some commanders suggested dispatching a special team to enter the eastern hinterland to rescue Somo at all costs.
But after some discussion, everyone finally remembered.
Did they save Soma?
If the aliens really had the means to capture Somo, they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of driving everyone toward the eastern mountains.
In the beginning, Sumo had plenty of opportunities to leave, but the reason why he didn't leave must be that he was absolutely sure.
Their worries are unfounded, they might as well think about how to take advantage of this opportunity to deal a cruel blow to the aliens!
"You're talking early now. Believe it or not, they will all come up and give me such advice after breakfast?"
"I believe it, of course I believe it." Bai Jian smiled, but he didn't care at all.
There are some things where the first person is a genius, the second person is a mediocre person, and the third person is a fool.
If this large-scale battle can start, his white sword's tactical status here in Sudeben will definitely be much higher than the last time.
"But you are right about one thing. There must be spies within us. There may be a lot of them. They may be among you and me now..."
Su Deben lowered his voice, "I'll leave this matter to you, and then send three of my own, Feng Long, Liu Chang, and Zhang Suiyi, to you. Can you handle it?"
"It can be done, don't worry, Commander, I promise to handle this for you!"
Bai Jian's face tightened, and he almost gave a habitual salute.
Fortunately, Su Deben quickly held his hand, so not many people noticed the strangeness here.
"Those little spies are very obvious. I've actually discovered a few of them a long time ago, but I haven't closed them down yet."
Bai Jian rubbed his teeth and looked fiercely in the direction of the breakfast bucket, "But it's too easy to deal with them like this. I have to find an opportunity to see if I can spread some false news to trick these fools!"
"Well, you go and do it, I'll give you the authority."
...
Alien.
Assembly Palace.
Since the end of the last battle, the five royal families held a rare meeting again.
Leaders of foreign races from all directions filed in and found their original seats to sit down.
The situation has developed to this point, and many leaders no longer have much hope for the progress of the game this time.
But the reason why the alien race has not mutinied so far is also very simple.
In the past thirty-one games, the alien race has always been the winner.
Although every time when the victory is almost complete, the ancestral gods will take the contestants back and fall short, this also means that the temporary victory is not a real victory. Just like humans now, the ancestral gods will definitely have the means to come back again.
once.
If they restart the game without Somo, they may not necessarily lose.
Therefore, the number of sacrifices is very ugly, but the right to speak of the five royal families has not been reduced at all, on the contrary, it has increased.
"I've called everyone together today, mainly because I want to tell you a few things."
Seeing everyone gathered, Curse Tiger walked to the high platform in the middle of the venue and said loudly.
For a moment, the palace, which was still a bit noisy and murmuring, suddenly became quiet.
"The first thing is that after more than three years of hard training, all five of our royal families have now reached the second level." Cursed Tiger raised his head slightly, with a look of pride on his face, "Although we are currently restricted from summoning
The ancestor god is possessed, but as long as we make sacrifices, we can gain combat power comparable to that of a demigod at any time!"
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of exclamations from below.
In particular, the eyes of some foreign leaders with weaker backgrounds were full of awe, and they had a better understanding of the strength of the five royal families.
Although their ancestral gods all rely on the wings of the five great ancestral gods, who doesn't want to become a rising star within the clan and strive to help the clan reach a higher position.
But the reality is this. The cultivation of foreign races pays more attention to individual talents.
The talents of the five royal families are much higher than them. Many of them have not even completed half of the first level, but others have already reached the second level.
But soon, the whispers were suppressed by the cursed tiger.
"The second thing is that through our patrol team deployed in the eastern plate, it has been detected that the human Somo is so bold that he has penetrated deep into the hinterland of our east, near the Baiduan Mountains!"
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Human Soma broke in? How many people did he bring with him?"
As soon as the words fell, they were like a bomb that instantly exploded in the crowd.
There was an uproar in the palace, and the faces of all the foreign tribes were full of shock and disbelief, especially the tribal leaders of the Baiduan Mountains. Many people were on pins and needles, and could hardly help but want to go back and lead people away as quickly as possible.
That’s human Soma!
Not to mention too much, let’s just say that the five great ancestor gods also suffered a heavy loss at his hands.
Moreover, even real demigods have been killed by him. Why should they, little shrimps who have not reached the second level, go against others?
Of course, some people are scared, and some are crazy and excited.
"This Somo is too arrogant! He really thinks that we are a foreign race, so he dares to be so presumptuous!" A Leopard clan leader stood up and roared angrily, with a fierce light shining in his eyes.
"That's right, others are afraid of him, but I'm not afraid. Let's set out for the Baiduan Mountains immediately, and we must kill him before the second gambling battle!" The tauren leader also stood up and spoke.
Before the Ten Thousand Paths War, Somo left a profound impression on the tauren.
But it was someone who had close contact that gave the Tauren a clearer understanding of Somo's strength.
In their view, Soma's penetration undoubtedly gave the alien race a golden opportunity.
As long as Soma can be left behind, the human camp will surely suffer heavy losses, and the balance of this game will completely tilt towards the aliens.
"That's right, this Somo is simply asking for death!"
"It just so happens that the city beast is still in the Baiduan Mountains. Although it cannot be used on the frontal battlefield, if we can find traces of Soma, we can't crush him to death with one step!"
"..."
After the initial panic, more and more aliens stood up and started roaring.
Curse Tiger looked at the reactions of the people above him, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Then he continued: "The third thing, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our alien race, but everyone must know how powerful human Soma is. Even if we have the power to become demigods at any time, it may not be him.
His opponent, so we must integrate all the tribes and do everything possible to keep him in the Baiduan Mountains!"
"Everyone must be aware of the recent actions. We used slow hunting to guide him step by step towards the Baiduan Mountains, away from human checkpoints."
"This way, even if the humans behind us send a large army to support us, we can still buy a certain amount of time to capture Somo!"
"But...if Sumo escapes, won't we be attacked from both sides?"
"That's right. None of the previous Tengu Ancestor Gods were Sumo's opponents. If we can't beat him, wouldn't it mean that we don't have to participate in the second gambling fight and lose directly?"
"There has been a lot of movement during this period. Could it be that Sumo was frightened and fled back? We don't know where he is now?"
Although the action has been decided, when hard power is mentioned, the atmosphere in the palace becomes solemn.
Everyone fell into silence. They knew in their hearts that keeping Somo was not easy, but this was another opportunity that could not be missed.
At this moment, Curse Tiger spoke again: Don't worry, everyone. Since we have called you to the assembly today, our five royal families have naturally prepared everything. To be honest, we do have a trump card sent by the ancestor god.
"
"True card?"
"I don't know if you have observed it. Although the human Soma is tyrannical and even has the ability to defeat the clones of the ancestor gods head-on, these times he has not used hard power, but the technological power mastered by humans."
"Although the upper limit of technological power in Ten Thousand Realms is not high, it can allow ordinary people to have killing capabilities comparable to those of demigods. If he has similar trump cards in his hand, our hunting is indeed a joke."
"But now this trump card allows us to temporarily change the rules of the game in a certain area. We can prohibit the use of technological power, and even prohibit some of the powers that the game rewards Somo, such as... teleportation."
"Without the power of technology, Soma is just an ordinary human being. As long as we sacrifice him to become a demigod, we can easily crush him to death!"
Wow.
As soon as these words came out, almost all the alien leaders stood up at the same time, and the light of hope ignited in everyone's eyes again.
Curse Tiger was indeed not talking nonsense. Whether it was killing the Tengu ancestors or dispersing the clones of the five ancestors, Soma used the power of technology.
Even the ship he built and his leadership in the Ten Thousand Paths War were witnessed by all the alien races.
Soma has indeed been using the power of technology and has never shown his personal power.
Including this gambling battle, although his victory was a bit confusing, everyone also believed that it was absolutely impossible for him to master the magical arts that only foreigners could understand.
To put it bluntly, humans simply do not have the talent for cultivation.
As long as the technology in an area can be disabled and Sumo is trapped, wouldn't it be possible to arrange an ordinary alien army to besiege him to death?
