"Demon Dream Grass, my personal opinion is to plant it extensively and stockpile a large amount before the Yuxuan Demon Clan arrives."
"For this reason, I am willing to mobilize all the spare spirit fields in Myriad Beasts University to support you in planting Demon Dream Grass."
The Demon Refining True Monarch said, and couldn’t help but ask again.
"By the way, can’t the efficacy of the Demon Dream Grass be improved? It would be great if it could permanently brainwash the demon race."
Chen Nuoyi: "..."
Before coming here, she was still hoping that Senior Zhu could hold back Su Yuan’s bold ideas.
But now it seems, these two are already in cahoots, completely beyond saving!
In fact, even Su Yuan thought the Demon Refining True Monarch was too extreme.
Dad, stop talking, if I really manufacture the mental control drugs you’re talking about, I’ll be sent to the Immortal Execution Platform for real.
By that time, I’d not only be condemned as a demon by the human cultivators but also become the biggest enemy of the demon race, ten lives wouldn’t be enough to survive!
After tactfully declining the Demon Refining True Monarch’s suggestion, the latter pondered a new problem.
"The efficacy of the Demon Dream Grass is barely enough, but the specific method of deployment to cause maximum damage to the Yuxuan Demon Clan is still a problem."
"Su Yuan, do you have any thoughts on this?"
For the deployment of the Demon Dream Grass, Su Yuan naturally had already considered it.
Without hesitation, he said:
"I hope to refine the Demon Dream Grass into a Spirit Pill using special alchemy techniques, pack it into specially designed cannonballs, and deploy them when the enemy army approaches."
"Once the cannonballs reach the appropriate location, they’ll explode immediately, creating a mist of Demon Dream Grass with an area of effect spanning several miles, benefiting all demons."
Demon Refining True Monarch: "Very good, very good, remember to call me when you take action, I want to see it personally."
"By the way, are there any difficulties in developing the special cannonballs? If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll do my best to assist."
Su Yuan: "Just produce them in the Divine Craftsmen Hall, the production lines are all set up, and even if any adjustments are needed, the Divine Craftsmen Hall can make them immediately."
The Demon Refining True Monarch nodded without speaking further.
Subsequently, with the help of the Demon Refining True Monarch, using Hu Hai Manor’s Demon Dream Grass seeds as the core, the spirit medicine grade Demon Dream Grass rapidly expanded its production, with Withering and Flourishing Shuttles flying back and forth among various spirit fields so intensively smoke almost seemed to rise from them.
Soon, batch after batch of Demon Dream Grass was harvested, and Su Yuan refined it into elixirs using Demon Technique·Finger Spirit, which were then sent to the Divine Craftsmen Hall.
One by one, the special cannonballs containing the mist of Demon Dream Pill came off the production line of the Divine Craftsmen Hall and were taken over by various federal artillery units.
The Demon Dream Cannon will also become the Blue Alliance’s strongest trump card against the Yuxuan Demon Clan.
In this intense preparation for war, another week passed.
The vanguard of the Yuxuan Demon Clan army did not break their promise and appeared in the detection magical treasures of the Federation’s Starfleet.
That day, an evacuation broadcast was sent to every corner of Blue Star.
Whether they were residents of the Blue Star Federation or residents of the Celestial Law World, they were all arranged into shelters and other defensive structures to avoid the war that might spill into their homeland.
At this time, Su Yuan, Qi Hanyan, and Chen Nuoyi had already arrived inside the flagship of the Starfleet.
The area they were in was a metal-filled conference room, with Wu Luo True Monarch, the captain of the Starfleet, and a group of Nascent Soul stage executives from the Ten Great Immortal Sects all present.
Su Yuan was also one of the high-level members, with Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan as his followers standing behind his seat listening in.
The Divinity Transformation Cultivators were not in this conference room, their only task in this battle was to guard against the Divinity Transformation combat power from the enemy.
However, both worlds are unfamiliar with each other, and the first battle is most likely to be a test, so the probability of Divinity Transformation powers engaging is not high.
Apart from the unexpected situation of Divinity Transformation involvement, the battle plan had been decided long ago, and what followed was up to the enemy to make their move.
"The enemy has entered our strike range."
At the head of the conference table, a middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in a blue-black military uniform with a resolute face, emitting an aura second only to Wu Luo True Monarch, spoke slowly.
He was the captain of the Blue Alliance Starfleet, Qi Tianling, the most experienced fleet commander in the Federation, and in terms of personal strength, he could rank in the top ten among the 284 registered Nascent Souls in the Federation.
With his words, the Federation high-level members present all turned to the center of the conference table.
There, a semi-transparent three-dimensional star map was displayed, and an eye-catching red light point had appeared at the end of the star map, flying rapidly toward Blue Star.
"The target is quite large, could it be that the demon race barbarians also possess warships?"
The Demon Refining True Monarch mused, stroking his chin.
Wu Luo True Monarch chuckled softly:
"They don’t have warships, but they directly launched a moon-sized planet at us."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Yuxuan Demon Clan army has already formed their battle formation on the planet’s surface, and at critical moments, they might even directly crash this planet into our homeland."
The Demon Refining True Monarch sneered:
"With us here, how could mere demon clans invade the Federation’s homeland?"
Listening to the Demon Refining True Monarch’s blatant demon race discrimination, Su Yuan sitting at the end of the conference table slightly twitched his mouth.
Old Zhu, take it easy, don’t say things that aren’t conducive to unity.
With a mouth like yours, if you were to go negotiate with the Yuxuan Demon Clan’s representatives, even if the other side were friendly toward humans, they would want to kill you within a few minutes.
Su Yuan decided firmly that in this battle, he must not let the Demon Refining True Monarch go to the front lines.
Captain Qi Tianling said in a deep voice:
"According to the intelligence obtained from the scouting magical treasure, there are no enemy Divinity Transformation entities on that planet, the highest is Nascent Soul."
"The number of Nascent Soul demon race members is roughly estimated to be twenty, and the number of Golden Core demon race members is between two hundred and three hundred."
"As for the demon army below the Golden Core level, the numbers have reached five million."
Five million demon troops?
Upon hearing this number, Su Yuan was initially taken aback, but quickly realized it was a normal figure.
For the Demon Race, their greatest advantage is reproduction, pulling together an army of five million is not a problem at all.
Moreover, as expected, the vast majority of these five million demon troops would be low-level demons at the initial to mid Qi Cultivation Stage.
In contrast, the Blue Star Federation’s soldiers follow an elite route, with frontline soldiers required to at least be outstanding high school graduates, furthering their training for years before becoming qualified.
The personnel requirements of the Starfleet are even higher; those at the Qi Cultivation Peak only qualify as the reserve forces here.
And even if it’s a game of rampant recruitment, the Blue Star Federation does not fear any cultivation civilization.
After all, the Blue Alliance is near universal cultivation, and once the military expands, the number of Qi Cultivation Stage soldiers recruitable in the short term would be terrifying, it’s just unnecessary.
"Five million demon troops, our fleet’s personnel is insufficient."
Wu Luo True Monarch mused.
Demon Refining True Monarch: "If you ask me, there’s no need for any strategy, it’s all useless stuff."
"A round of the Star Destroyer’s main cannon volley can annihilate any demon army, even destroy the star the enemy brought."
Wu Luo True Monarch calmly said:
"Little Zhu, I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush."
"The Mystic World Demon Race is valuable, both capturing and recruiting are far better than destruction."
"I propose we ready the launch of the Demon Dream Pill with our cannons, and prepare our soldiers for landing. Once the Demon Dream Pill takes effect, immediately breach the enemy lines and capture the enemy commanders."
Saying this, Wu Luo True Monarch looked towards Su Yuan at the far end:
"True Monarch Primordial, your Demon Dream Pill is effective on Nascent Soul Stage demons, right?"
Su Yuan nodded:
"It’s effective, but it can at most make Nascent Soul Demon Race agitated and unable to concentrate. A Demon Dream Pill capable of instantly controlling Nascent Soul Demon Race is still in development."
Wu Luo True Monarch nodded and said:
"In that case, let’s discuss how to deploy the Demon Dream Pill into enemy positions."
"To prevent the enemy from blocking the Demon Dream Pill outside the planet, we need a target to draw enemy fire."
Saying this, the red-haired lady’s gaze lingered on Su Yuan.
This glance made Su Yuan a bit uneasy.
Seriously, Senior Su, why are you looking at me?
Wu Luo True Monarch: "Su Yuan, you go hold off the enemy forces for me."
Su Yuan: "...."
He pointed to his own nose, standing in disbelief and asked:
"Me? Senior Su, this..."
Wu Luo True Monarch: "Use your title when working."
Alright, Su Plant.
Su Yuan internally complained fiercely.
Wu Luo True Monarch explained:
"Su Yuan, your combat power and survival skills are strong, and if nothing unexpected happens, you have a fatal attraction to the enemy forces. Your appearance will surely capture the upper echelons of the Demon Race’s attention."
"All things considered, you’re the most excellent bait. Having you distract the enemy’s attention is most appropriate."
Logical and convincing.
Su Yuan pondered for a moment and found this reasoning sound.
As for going alone as bait and worrying about being ambushed by strong adversaries hidden by the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity?
Ridiculous. If the opposite knows ambush, do you think our side wouldn’t know to protect?
An Xingran, Gui Yuan, and Qi Anong, the three Divinity Transformation, are monitoring him from the shadows, practically like a personal shield.
Su Yuan suspected that Wu Luo True Monarch had another purpose for letting him go out, and that was fishing.
What? If the assassin is strong and the three Divinity Transformations can’t handle it, what then?
If even three Divinity Transformations can’t handle it, what difference does it make wherever I hide?
After brief contemplation, Su Yuan calmly accepted this task.
Regarding this task allocation, apart from the envious Demon Refining True Monarch and his mentor Taibai Phecda, other high-ranking figures showed varying degrees of confusion.
In their view, this mission was akin to a death sentence.
Su Yuan, a newly minted Nascent Soul, even with his notable achievements, might not make it out unscathed.
Why did Wu Luo True Monarch assign him such a task?
Holding a grudge?
Could it be to use this as an opportunity to eliminate the Huang Mao who led their daughter astray?
Possible!
Su Yuan remained unaware of his colleagues’ speculations, and mounting his flying sword, he left the warship, heading for the rapidly approaching demon star.
