“It is said that, when the Far East Demon Kingdom copsed, the nobles carried part of the valuable treasures and resources. But they sealed tremendous strategical resources in the deep-sea east of the continent.
“When they were building arge teleportation array to connect the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector, they had nned to march back from the Blood Demon Sector. Those resources were all prepared for their counterattack!
“It is safe to say that many ‘counterattack bases’ were established hundreds of years ago in the eastern ocean of the Heaven’s Origin Sector!
“After thest survivors of the Far East Demon Kingdom died in the Blood Demon Sector, their n became quite well known.
“But nobody knew anything about it in the Heaven’s Origin Sector. All the federal citizens thought that the Far East Demon Kingdom waspletely shattered!
“It is based on the secret channel and the ‘counterattack bases’ that my father drafted the Red Tide n!
“The Red Tide n can be divided into two parts. Firstly, an expedition army will march into the Grand Deste teau and threaten the Giant de Pass at the south of it, attracting the attention of all the experts and the main force of the Star Glory Federation.
“But the expedition army will be carrying out a suicidal mission. The soldiers will mostly be fakes, made by a tiny proportion of regr soldiers and a huge amount of cannon fodder. Or rather, to make the army more intimidating, they will even drive arge batch of civilians into the Heaven’s Origin Sector.
“After all—”
Jin Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, “In the eyes of most human beings, demons are demons. Is there any difference between ‘civilians’ and ‘soldiers’? At the very least, they will not be able to notice anything wrong in a week or two.
“When the elites and experts of the federal army are stalled at the Grand Deste teau and the Giant de Pass in the north, the real main force of the Blood Demon Sector will be teleported to the east of the Star Glory Federation through the secret channel left by the Far East Demon Kingdom. Then, they will march to the coast and stab into the hearnd of the federation!”
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, “We’ve talked about the Red Tide n before, but I still think that it is too risky and radical.”
“It is indeed an extraordinary n,” Jin Xinyue agreed. “But that’s my father. For 99% of the time, he is the calmest politician and general, if not an emotionless machine. But for 1% of the time, he has a style that is very close to the style of an insane poet. Perhaps for him, the ‘Red Tide n’ is just a ‘poem’ that he wrote when he was totally drunk.
“There are a lot of hinderances for the n to be implemented.
“First of all, the troops to attract the federal army in the north, to achieve the purpose of strategical deception, can’t be all false. The few most famous troops of the Blood Demon Sector may have to be sent to the Giant de Pass for the Star Glory Federation to believe that they are the main force.
“Whether the Red Tide n works out or not, the ace troops will certainly be obliterated!
“Secondly, the secret channel left by the Far East Demon Kingdom must be highly unstable after hundreds of years have passed. There is no telling if anything will go wrong during the teleportation. The situation of the ‘counterattack bases’ is unclear, too. Otherwise, somebody would’ve implemented a simr n hundreds of years ago!
“Thirdly, the sess of the Red Tide n depends on confidentiality. Once the elites of the coalition army of demons really invade the hearnd of the Star Glory Federation, the expedition army will barely have any backup. They will be marching all by themselves with an uncertain future.
“If so much as a message is leaked out in advance and the Star Glory Federation is prepared for them, the entire expedition army will likely be wiped out!
“In short, the implementation of the Red Tide n requires unity and the willingness to sacrifice. No kingdom, city, or tribe should care about their own gains or losses. Unbelievable luck is mandatory, too!
“Hehe. How was it possible in the past?”
“But right now, the Flying Star Sector changed everything,” Li Yao said calmly.
“Exactly.” Jin Xinyuebed her hair and said, “The arrival of the Flying Star Sector forced the Blood Demon Sector into a corner. Once the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector join their hands, the Blood Demon Sector will be dragged into the abyss of doom. Then, what’s the point of the internal strife among the major demon kingdoms?
“Therefore, it may sound absurd, but the arrival of the Flying Star Sector has increased the capability of the Blood Demon Sector first instead of that of the Heaven’s Origin Sector. Starting from the moment when the citizens of the Flying Star Sector appeared, all the demons of the Blood Demon Sector have be more unified and willing to sacrifice than ever, which is the greatest foundation for the implementation of the Red Tide n!
“What matters most is no longer the sess rate of the n.
“Even in the best case-scenario, all the demon emperors are very clear that the chance of sess of the Red Tide n is no higher than 30%!
“But none of that is important right now. What they need is no longer a strategy whose sess is guaranteed but a n that is most fatal despite its low odds of sess, one that will certainly destroy the Star Glory Federation should it miraculously work out!
“Then, this is their only choice now. The Red Tide n!”
Listening to Jin Xinyue’s analysis, Li Yao was breathing rapidly.
Floating Spear City, his hometown, was on the eastern coast of the Star Glory Federation.
He remembered the ‘Distant Expanse’, known as ‘federal army’s eternal gship’, that he saw in the sky of the Devil Dragon Ind as well as the enormous Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars g made of the red glow.
If all the experts of the Blood Demon Sector really showed up from the bottom of the ocean, leading the elite troops, and marched into the most prosperous and the least guarded hearnd of the federation directly…
The consequences would be too dire to imagine!
“Do you know the specific location of the secret channel?” Li Yao asked solemnly.
Jin Xinyue shook her head. “My father is the only one who knows the details of the Red Tide n. The general picture of it, which I talked about just now, was found out at a great cost, too. Perhaps it is also the reason my father abandoned me. He attaches more importance to the Red Tide n than any of his children.”
Li Yao frowned in silence.
Jin Xinyue’s eyes glittered. She suddenly said, “However, I think that what Master should focus on is not my father’s ‘Red Tide n’ but Elder Nether Spring’s Spore Stratagem, or even the connection between them.”
“Huh?”
Li Yao nced at her, vaguely feeling that she might be onto something.
“As you said just now, Master, although you destroyed Elder Nether Spring’s research base, he’d already produced a hundred spores in secret, which are the ‘carriers of the Demon God Virus’ and dangerous gic bombs, right?”
“Precisely,” Li Yao replied.
“But the Demon God Virus is still deeply wed right now in that it is vulnerable to me and frost. It is impossible to spread to the entire continent and can only destroy a few cities where the poption is highly concentrated at best. Therefore, Elder Nether Spring must select a perfect time and location to detonate the bombs.”
“What have you thought of?”
Deep in thought, Jin Xinyue mumbled, “I am merely thinking that, if I were Elder Nether Spring, and my purpose was to infect as many people, preferably experts, as possible with the hundred spores, what should I do?
“I would certainly pick a highly-popted area. Also, it would be best if those gathered in the area consist of strong soldiers, fighters, Cultivators, and great demons!
“It will be even better if there is a great number of demon emperors and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators among them!”
Li Yao stared at her and suddenly gasped.
Jin Xinyue managed a smile and said, “You seem to have figured it out, too, Master. If the Red Tide n is really activated, millions of demons will charge into the most popted area in the east of the federation and even reach the capital city!
“Whether the Heaven’s Origin Sector is prepared or not, the greatest number of experts and the strongest crystal suit legions will certainly be gathered around the capital city to defend it!
“Also, when news spreads that the capital city is under attack, the federal army stationed in the Giant de Pass may not be able to retreat easily, but the Core Formation Stage Cultivators and the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators will certainly return to the capital city for the battle, using vehicles such as super shuttles or teleportation arrays, in a couple of days!
“Think about it. What will the capital city of the Star Glory Federation be like by then?
“It will be an ultimate war of an unprecedented scale, with dozens of demon emperors and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, hundreds of Core Formation Stage Cultivators and demon kings, and countless more experts of lower levels on the two sides!
“At that time, the capital city of the Star Glory Federation will be the area where the density of unparalleled experts is highest in both the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector. All the participants will be the toughest, strongest, most well-trained soldiers of the two Sectors even if they are not the unparalleled experts, right?
“Right when the best forces of the two worlds are engaged in a head-on, blood-draining battle, the spores that have been lurking in the coalition army of demons will suddenly break out. The Demon God Virus will speed across the capital city of the Star Glory Federation and swiftly contaminate all the soldiers and experts!
“Most of the victims will be killed instantly or turned into ‘uncontroble mutants’. However, the few ‘lucky dogs’ will be even stronger than before, and they will be Elder Nether Spring’s loyal ves!
“The capital city of the Star Glory Federation and the satellite cities around are the most popted and prosperous regions. As the ‘uncontroble mutants’ spread out, carrying the ‘Demon God Virus’, it is possible that the few metropolises near the capital city will be gued, too. There is no way that the Star Glory Federation will demolish the capital city and the surrounding metropolises, which would be like crushing its own heart. The only thing that they can do is to send more soldiers to the infected area to control the situation.
“On the coalition army of demons’ side, having marched into the hearnd of the Star Glory Federation by themselves, they will be harassed by the uncontroble mutants. It will be impossible for them to retreat to the ocean in the east!
“As a result, everybody will seem to be attracted by an invisible ma and trapped in the infected area, unable to move, until there are no survivors left!
“We must note that the strongest Cultivators and demons and the best troops of the Heaven’s Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector will all have gathered there! When everybody there is infected, killed, or turned into Elder Nether Spring’s ves, will there be any other forces who are capable ofpeting with Elder Nether Spring?”
