Chapter 447: Chapter 330: Ignition Dilemma_2
Kakta Base’s Jiang BeiWu came up with some thoughts. If so many extradimensional spaces had always been around them, they would have descended upon collision of the two worlds long ago. Why would they wait for Star Torch to appear?
Wushan City was an exceptional case. After annihilating a tribe but failing to clean up properly, this might have been the reason for their preparation of three tribes’ forces, waiting to invade Wushan City.
This event was supposed to occur during the next Fog Tide.
But the appearance of Star Torch accelerated it.
“No, that’s not right.”
However, as soon as Jiang BeiWu had finished speaking, Liu Rulong interrupted him, “General Jiang, we must consider war from the worst perspective. We are all facing attacks from alien races. The Alien Demon Race in the north and the Vine Demon on our side have always been at war. No one can guarantee they haven’t contacted other tribes, just waiting to descend. We cannot take this risk.”
Jiang BeiWu’s complexion changed, knowing he had been too optimistic, and said righteously, “It’s my mistake, I was too anxious.”@@novelbin@@
Deng Guanshan said, “We cannot take this risk. Let alone how many will descend, just one Fifth-order Demon Promotion would mean the end for us.”
Only then did Su Han join in the conversation, “So the first plan is unworkable. Even at Fourth Grade, danger is still possible, unless it’s a Fifth-Order Demon Promotion, who already controls an extradimensional space, capable of sensing to a degree, interfering with the surrounding space, affecting a region of the Great Blood Sea, and thereby cutting off the possibility of direct, close-range descent.”
Fifth Order, such an unattainable term.
Among the people present, perhaps only Su Han stood a chance of breaking through in a short period of time.
“There is also a second method, to ignite the Star Torch together.”
The thought in Su Han’s eyes shifted slightly; this was the only feasible solution he came up with on the way here.
“Ignite it together, this… Lord Su, we can’t even handle one Star Torch, and now you’re asking several bases to light it up together?”
Deng Guanshan’s eyes widened, his frayed beard quivering.
“Yes,” Su Han nodded affirmatively, continuing, “Star Torches are interconnected. Since we can’t conceal ourselves, let’s ignite them altogether, then concentrate the escaping energy onto one Star Torch, one as the target, to cover for the remaining ones. This should minimize the scope of alien races’ notice. If they actually do descend, we’ll use nuclear bombs.”
Without a doubt, this was a bold plan – using misdirection.
The few people present understood this scheme and immediately reacted. Among the people there, only Su Han understood Star Torch best, and only he could possibly transfer the scattered energy from Star Torch, having the strength to resist a powerful enemy.
“I disagree!”
Qin Henghu and Ouyang Qing almost simultaneously rejected the proposal, and after Liu Rulong, Deng Guanshan, and Jiang BeiWu realized what it entailed, they too looked grave, “We also do not agree to take this risk. We’d rather wait a few more months than let you be the bait.”
Su Han was the first Fourth Order Superior, and he had the hope of reaching the Fifth Order. It wasn’t worth risking so much just to save time.
As the intelligence from various bases combined, they all knew that the Fifth Order was the watershed, the key to understanding the other world. They couldn’t extinguish the hope of their own species by their own hands.
At this, Li Wenyuan’s expression also turned solemn, “Su Han, I know you want to save more survivors, but your importance exceeds any one base, any person.”
“I’m not trying to take risks with my own life.”
Su Han lifted his eyes slightly, looking at the few generals before saying, “We don’t have much time left. Those races within the Blood Sea, even the one-eyed monster that appeared that day, consider the flesh, minds, and souls of our human species, of sentient beings, as tantalizing fruits. The more survivors, the higher their value. But if there are hardly any survivors left, I fear it will be the beginning of clearing the table.”
Everyone fell silent.
When most of the food has been eaten, it’s indeed possible that the scant leftovers scattered on the table might be swept away with the crumbs into the trash heap.
“This is just my guess, but there’s no denying the high likelihood. Su Han said calmly, but from the Lizardmen Clan, Undead Race, Zerg, Alien Demon Race… so many races eager to enter Earth, slaughtering, plundering… they must be fighting over something, waiting for something.”
Humans are the race least capable of dragging out the fight among so many others.
“But it’s too dangerous.”
Li Wenyuan said gravely, “If it was just Fourth Order, I believe you could easily withstand them, but that Fifth-order Great Demon Lizardman will surely target your energy. If he descends again, he will not be as complacent as in Wushan City, but will strike like lightning.”
“Indeed,” Ouyang Qing from Lingzhou Base intervened, persuading, “If they are in Lingshui City, then after being foiled at Wushan Base, they will inevitably continue to accumulate strength and push southward in full force. If it’s still the main torch in the south, then the probability of their attack is very high.”
“`
“Do I just wait for him to come?”
“`
Su Han’s eyes flashed briefly as he slowly said, “Star Torches are interconnected and can mobilize part of their power; although it’s not all, the support to my side is still considerable. Just kidding, if this attempt is successful, the Star Torch in the Tree Domain where I am will become the main Star Torch and will have some control over the other Star Torches.”
To harness the dispersed energy, it’s imperative to manipulate the existing connections of the Star Torches. If they work in conjunction, there will naturally be a main core, namely the Star Torch controlled by Su Han.
Although controlling one Star Torch doesn’t mean he can control them all, he can still cause certain disturbances and mobilize energy to some extent.
Su Han said he could become the main torch, which is not a joke, but a possible reality.
“`
“Is this what we’re discussing now?”
“`
Qin Henghu couldn’t contain his frustration and said, “If we’re really taking this risk, let Wushan City do it. Wushan City doesn’t need to ignite, and can fully share the pressure for defense preparations. With the Star Torch shield, Spiritual Energy Entities, and a large number of nuclear warheads, as long as they’re deployed properly, it won’t affect the survivors inside.”
“`
“Qin Henghu, what are you meddling in?”
“`
Jiang BeiWu stared with wide eyes and said irritably, “Even if we mobilize the power of the Star Torches, it’s only effective against Fourth Order. What if it’s more dangerous?”
It was another deadlock. Although everyone wanted to ignite the Star Torches, they also didn’t want Su Han to take the risk.
On the contrary, Su Han was the most insistent of all.
“`
“I appreciate everyone’s concern, but the Star Torches still need to be ignited. Since I’ve made this decision, I naturally have my own confidence. I’ve already touched the threshold of Fifth Order.”
“`
He glanced at the shocked group and continued with his thoughts, “After igniting the Star Torches, we can use their connections to contact spiritual sensitives nationwide. This plan can save many lives. Every day we delay, more survivors die, so we should not drag this out. Another reason is personal—I need more materials, high-grade materials.”
Being in control of igniting them simultaneously was Su Han taking the initiative.
On one hand, it was about taking the initiative in controlling the Star Torch Network.
In this regard, since he was attracting the firepower and was the creator, it was entirely justifiable.
On the other hand, it was of course about seeking revenge and settling scores, and it would be best if he could lure Langmuluo and then kill him.
Beyond that, it was about luring out the Extradimensional Monsters that might be spying on the two cities of the Tree Domain and taking this opportunity to sweep them up, creating a safe environment.
“`
“Courage comes from exceptional skills.”
“`
After holding himself back for a while, Deng Guanshan finally said these words.
He realized this youngster was planning to set a trap to bury the monsters, but it was unclear whether it would be the monsters burying him or him burying the monsters.
“`
“So, how confident are you in achieving a breakthrough to Fifth Order?”
“`
“I will definitely break through within two months.”
“`
“With the Angel Envoy included?”
“`
Ouyang Qing asked this question. If it were just a personal breakthrough, then fine, but Angel Envoys who haven’t caught up with strength and come to blows directly would still be dangerous.
Su Han didn’t hide anything and responded directly, “The Angel Envoy will advance first, followed by me, and there’s also a chance for a Demon Promotion.”
The eyes of several generals lit up—becoming a Great Demon was significantly different, and they understood this very clearly.
Jiang BeiWu finally asked the most practical question, “If you can become a Great Demon, I agree. I just don’t know what kind of support you need from us, Lord Su. We will provide it as much as we can.”
After thinking for a moment, Su Han said, “Start with ten nuclear warheads. I need them to deal with the Blood Sea Demon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone spontaneously turned to look at Qin Henghu.
Among all the bases, it was only he who was close enough to provide them.
“`
“You can take them from my side, and if it’s not enough, we can still produce them. There are no restrictions on that now.”
“`
He was straightforward, but Li Wenyuan was even more so, addressing the other base generals, “Don’t hold back any longer. Hand over the research materials you’ve been keeping under wraps. I remember you all have some work going on, right?”
What do you think?
