Chapter 1141: 1090 chapter-1091 chapter Solution Target Chapter 1141: 1090 chapter-1091 chapter Solution Target “The Demon Race is indeed at a disadvantage now, but our human race has its problems too,” Wang Boan remarked with a heavy look, noticing that Gu Ji still didn't seem to take it seriously.
Gu Ji did trust his old friend; the bit of optimism he had shown earlier regarding the situation was partially in jest, intended to lighten the mood for his old friend so he wouldn't oppress himself with worry.
But seeing that his attempt to lighten the mood was ineffective, and his friend remained serious and vigilant, Gu Ji couldn't help but grow serious as well, his smile slowly fading.
“What news have you received, or what have you discovered?” Gu Ji inquired.
In his view, if Wang Boan was so concerned, it could be that he had received some significant news that prompted such consideration.
“Right now, everyone is focusing on the Divine Position; in their pursuit of accumulating merits, various parties are attacking the Demon Race on their own initiative, which is bound to cause problems,” Wang Boan said with a frown.
He didn't have any news; it was a feeling he had perceived from various clues.
The human race army was now exceedingly numerous, and when including the armies of the various Religious Sects and Independent Practitioners, even Wang Boan couldn't command them all.
He could be called the commander of the human race, but beneath him, the forces were divided into several parts. Wang Boan had the authority to unify their deployment only during major battles; at other times, they were essentially self-commanded.
This method of command had its pros and cons. In the event of a sudden Demon Race assault, they could self-coordinate a response, as remote commands from Wang Boan might result in delayed orders or lost communication with the Demon Race.
However, the disadvantage was that in many cases, these factions, which mostly governed themselves, could, in their eagerness to capture merits, become too aggressive and attack on their own initiative.
Over the past few decades, many of the Great Wars with the Demon Race had actually been triggered by one party acting on its own.
According to the rules of the human race army, the victors would not be held accountable. No matter the reasons behind the outbreak of battle, if the human race emerged victorious, the commander couldn't pursue the matter.
If previously he could handle these incidents, now, drawing closer to the heartland of the Demon Race, with their power growing ever stronger, Wang Boan was less certain he could respond to emergencies in time.
While it was easy to delegate authority, clawing it back was more difficult, especially when none of the parties had made mistakes.
Hearing Wang Boan's concerns, Gu Ji fell silent, having no solution for the situation either.
All parties were vying for merits, hoping to secure their desired Sealed God Position during the Enthroning Gods. Those were personal interests, and any attempt to obstruct them could provoke conflict.
“Have you warned them?” Gu Ji asked.
Wang Boan shook his head, “There's no point!”
If before he might have thought to caution the various parties, seeing Gu Ji's attitude made it clear that a similar sentiment prevailed amongst them all, rendering such warnings meaningless.
“I suppose you wouldn't just let things be and allow the situation to continue unchecked. You must have a plan, right?” Gu Ji countered, not believing this to be Wang Boan's attitude.
Years of friendship gave him a deep understanding of Wang Boan. If he wasn't aware, that was one thing, but now that he had seen it, how could he merely stand by and let things spiral?
“I need you to convene the commanders and the heads of the Immortal Sects to discuss the forthcoming campaign,” Wang Boan asserted, his expression solemn as he addressed Gu Ji.
“Huh?” Gu Ji was initially startled. According to their usual mobilization timeline and practice, unless the Demon Race initiated a Great War, there would be a period of recuperation following an assault on Demon Race territory.
During this time, the reasons were partly to refurbish the army, allowing exhausted or injured soldiers to recover, and partly to secure control over Demon Race land, leaving no loose ends.
Since not much time had passed since the last Great War, it was not yet time to deploy according to normal routines. Gu Ji wondered why Wang Boan suddenly brought up the matter.
After a moment of confusion, Gu Ji quickly grasped Wang Boan's resolution, saying, “Are you planning to initiate the Great War yourself to take control of the situation? But aren't you worried that this will hasten events?”
He understood Wang Boan's plan; if he was worried about the Demon Race scheming or individual factions launching attacks, then it was better to take the initiative by deploying now.
Since the Demon Race was still waiting and plotting, it meant they were not fully prepared, and this approach could catch them off guard and disrupt their rhythm.
Of course, this approach also had potential downsides: the sudden strike from the human race would be a test for themselves, and with a just cause, overconfident troops might act recklessly, plunging deeper into enemy territory and escalating the conflict.
“Even so, it's better to have the initiative in our hands. Escalation of the conflict is manageable if we're prepared for it, but it's worse to one day find out unexpectedly that someone has dragged us into trouble,” Wang Boan said sternly.
Wang Boan had certainly considered this situation, but such a possibility was at least within his expectations, which was always better than being caught off guard.
