My Monster Fuses Everything Chapter 630

Chapter 630: Chapter 411: The Counterattack Stratagem_2

Sixth-order Worm Demons are not so easily summoned into the real world, after all, the suppression force exists, and the swarm had prepared for so long, only to squeeze a few through.

“Four Worm Demons, gathering them all together is not easy.”

Liu Rulong fell into deep thought, then said, “Do you have confidence?”

“I can't defeat a Seventh Order, but I won't lose either. However, there is only one chance for a surprise attack on the Worm Demons. Once I make my move, the Eclipse Worm will know the news of my recovery and won't easily let the Worm Demons approach.”

Liu Rulong was a man of action. That very night, he had the staff department draft plans with this objective, staying up all night, before finally presenting the only viable scheme to Su Han.

In the conference room, Su Han, Liu Rulong, Bai Qilan, and other senior leaders were all sitting there, with the staff department's plans before them.

Zhu Xiong and others needed to defend Linghai City and could not attend in person, but they also participated in the meeting through spirit projections via the Star Torch Tree.

“The staff department's plan requires enough bait and sufficient threat to gather the Worm Demons, there's only one method, and that's to attack.”

Liu Rulong said solemnly as he explained the plan, glancing at Su Han, “Breaking through the mountain range wall is an irresistible bait for the swarm, but we can't take that risk. Once the city falls, we can't control the number of casualties. So, we can only use another bait, the Sixth Order Apostles of the lord. What they fear most are the lord's Apostles. Over the past half month, the multiple probing attempts are less about finding flaws in the mountain range wall, and more about finding weaknesses of the Sixth Order Apostles to take the opportunity to kill them.”

“Can't we just lure them by having an Apostle deliberately expose himself for a long time? Draw them near the mountain range wall, or pretend to chase them for a distance, they probably won't miss that opportunity.”

Zhu Xiong frowned, offering a different view.

“It's a possibility, but the Abyssal Insect Race is not a mechanically clumsy race; on the contrary, they also possess considerable intelligence. Our sudden unusual actions might very well not deceive them, and it's not certain that all Worm Demons will gather.”

Liu Rulong replied gravely, the staff department had initially proposed a similar plan, even setting a longer time frame to design the trajectory of an Apostle's actions to make the 'weakness' appear more natural and increase the chances of success.

But there were still many uncontrollable factors.

No one could guarantee that the Sixth Order Worm Demons would deploy en masse for a first attack akin to encircling Su Han.

And when the battlefield is set near the mountain range wall, their own troops might become hostages of the swarm.

Zhu Xiong's face was stern. Liu Rulong was right; they could not ensure a successful probability.

“A direct challenge to force their hand, where and when is the attack?”

Su Han looked at Liu Rulong and asked.

“Using the tactic of 'besiege Wei to rescue Zhao,' we uncovered their largest Worm Nest Territory at the seaport entrance in Guanhai City, with many Mother Worms and Fifth Order creatures gathered there.”

Liu Rulong circled the location, right at the junction between the sea and the land. It was supposed to be shallow water, but after nuclear bombing and development by the swarm, the depth near the coast alone had reached a kilometer.

“The insect bodies recovered from the battlefield, the mutant creatures killed on land, the organic material as well as the constant collection of monster bodies from the sea, a large portion of them gets sent to the Worm Nest Territory for decomposition, transformed into Bug Quality, and then breeding new members of the Insect Race. They also plan on fighting a war of attrition.”

The intelligence was gathered by scouts, risking their lives behind enemy lines filled with insects.

Many people died.

“This Worm Nest Territory with a gathered swarm of over fifty million, and I'm sure at least one Insect Demon is guarding nearby or can quickly provide support. Just destroying this Worm Nest Territory will significantly slow down the swarm's offensive, and rebuilding will require more resources, collecting over a long period.”

At this point, everyone vaguely understood Liu Rulong's intention, combining 'besiege Wei to rescue Zhao' with luring the enemy deep into territory.

Using the Sixth Order Apostles to lead a counterattack was both an intentional exposure of weaknesses and a forced move to make the opposing Worm Demons appear, but this plan was fraught with significant risks.

Lone Wolf Zhao Tiangao asked, “General, what about troop deployment? If it's a counterattack with just one or two Sixth Order Apostles, it will be too obvious. The swarm knows at least how many Sixth Order Apostles we have.”

“A Sixth Order Apostle led, with the remaining counteroffensive forces composed of Fifth Order combat power, Apostle worm swarm, Breeding Armored soldiers, and Mechanical Exoskeleton Troops. As for the other Apostles, they should simultaneously launch smaller counterattacks in the remaining three cities to clear the insect swarms.”

Liu Rulong paused and said, “We need to expose the traces of at least three Sixth Order Apostles at the same time.”

“I disagree!”

Zhu Xiong suddenly stood up, his face ashen, and said, “General, it's too risky. Exposing three Sixth Order Apostles at the same time means Su Han will only be able to deploy three Apostles, which is too few. The Insect Demons are said to number four, but what if there are more? And they have Seventh Rank Eclipse Worms…”

Liu Rulong fell silent, then said, “This is the most likely plan, if it doesn't work, we can only adopt the previous plan, which requires about half a month to layout, designing operational trajectories, best done in Linghai City….”

“Let's go with this plan.”

Su Han interrupted Liu Rulong, he looked up at everyone, and said, “Half a month is too long to drag on, and it won't be successful. The exposure of just one Apostle's trajectory, without other Apostles showing up, won't prompt them to act.”

There are not so many coincidences to be exposed to the Abyssal Insect Race; they are not fools.

Moreover, the territory of the worm nest must be destroyed, Su Han also needs more monster materials for Fusion.

“Although it requires the simultaneous exposure of their whereabouts, the Bug Quality Rift allows Apostles to transfer quickly, just needing to hold them off for a little bit of time.”

Su Han slowly said, “By destroying the worm nest territory, killing as many Insect Demons as possible, only in this way can we push their offensive back to the sea.”

Seeing Su Han speak like this, Lone Wolf and Zhu Xiong still found it a bit risky, Su Han was their greatest hope, and by all reasoning, he should not act this way.

But they also knew that when comparing the two plans, actually only the first one had higher feasibility.

“But what will we fight with?”

Gan Xinglei also spoke then, being more objective, directly pointing out, “Even if it's a counterattack, with a Sixth Order Apostle leading, whether it's the Breeding Armored generals or the Mechanical Giant Spirit Gods, we lack suppressive Fifth Order fighting power, there are seven in Moon's Nest, aside from those Fifth Order Sea Beasts killed in battle, we currently only have 14 Fifth Order, we can't deploy them all, we have to leave at least 7. Even counting the Black Gold Knights and some ancestral beasts, at most it doesn't exceed 20 Fifth Order combat forces, while their insect swarm numbers are in the tens of millions, plus their Fifth Order Sea Beasts, I can't think of anything that could withstand their attacks. Unless there are more Sixth Order Apostles.”

Without the protection of mountain city walls and the covering fire from a large number of missiles and artillery, wilderness combat relies on individual hard power.

The suppressive power of Fifth Order combat is especially important, even if used as a spearhead, this number is not sufficient.

Because some of the Fifth Order must confront Fifth Order Sea Beasts, while another portion of the Fifth Order must suppress the numerically far superior insect swarms, offsetting the deficiency of the lost mountain city walls.

Everyone frowned, this was indeed a big problem, no one could miraculously produce Fifth Order fighting strength.

Even though Moon's Nest breeds Fifth Order Sea Beasts, it also requires a large amount of time and resources, which are precisely scarce commodities.

“One-eyed Knight Laws and Three-eyed Bishop….”

Kou Wenji suddenly spoke, his voice steady and very firm, “I'll use the One-eyed Knight Laws too, I'm already Fourth Order Superior, plus my five Apostles, I should be able to break through to Fifth Order, then count me as a combat force.”

“Not bad, we have many officers in the army who are Fourth Order Intermediate, although slightly inferior, but first with the enhancement drugs, Sea Beast Gene potions, then going for a breakthrough, it should be nearly sufficient. That Fan Wendao, Wei Shouzhi, their Apostles' sacrifices after the battlefield have advanced very quickly, having reached near Fourth Order Intermediate.”

The speaker was Zhou Xichao, his gaze equally firm at this moment.

“You guys….”

Liu Rulong wanted to speak out to stop them, but Bai Qilan spoke then, “Are you really going to sacrifice Apostles? That's a different path altogether.”

“Surviving first gives us a chance to talk about anything else. The Armed Forces have lost many men in battle, why can't we take a risk?”

Kou Wenji's response was decisive, Bai Qilan pondered for a moment, saying, “Then why not try the new method first, at least after promotion, control remains in our hands.”

Everyone was surprised looking towards Bai Qilan, yet found her slowly saying, “Several academics have developed two similar methods, waiting on Su Han to make a decision, to mobilize Rule Power.”
