Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1227 - 563: The Stratagem of Luring the Enemy

"Mr. Liang, do you think the military forces are so foolish as to permit us to utilize them?" Shi Haizhu inquired, unable to suppress her curiosity.

Liang Yuan let out a laugh and responded, "They are not foolish, but making use of them does not necessarily require their explicit consent."

"Presently, the Three Great Sects hesitate to make any moves against our Yangshan solely because the military maintains its guard here."

"All we need to do is initiate an action that severs our ties with the military, and the Three Great Sects will undoubtedly seize the opportunity."

"What is particularly crucial is that this action must convey the impression that Yangshan has suffered significantly following the break with the military."

"As we are both aware, the Guangfu Military harbors ulterior motives. Therefore, severing ties is not something we need to feign; it has been our plan all along."

"Speaking of which, Zhao Kai, have the military personnel departed from Yangshan yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kai immediately shook his head and replied, "No, that contingent remains encamped at the mountain's base. I have already halted their food supplies, yet they have not budged."

"I have even orchestrated actions in the mining sector, apprehending some of their private mining personnel, but neither Zhang Dazhi nor Ge Liangen have reacted thus far."

Liang Yuan’s brows instantly knitted together, and he let out a cold laugh, remarking, "They certainly possess considerable patience; it appears they are anticipating reinforcements from Guangfu."

Li Qinghua could not help but interject, "Mr. Liang, the military is replete with formidable experts; one must not underestimate them."

"To my understanding, their commanders alone possess a primary attribute exceeding 80 points to qualify for their positions."

"That was the benchmark a month prior. Now, these commanders have likely pushed their primary attributes above the 85-point mark."

Liang Yuan smiled and stated, "It makes no difference; anything below 100 points poses no threat."

Li Qinghua was taken aback for a moment, his pupils constricting as a realization dawned upon him.

He drew a deep breath, inwardly astonished.

Has Mr. Liang's primary attribute reached the 100-point threshold?

That is an astonishingly rapid advancement.

Liang Yuan continued, instructing, "Do not afford them any room to maneuver. Qinghua, you shall lead your men immediately and personally drive them out."

Upon hearing this command, Li Qinghua regained his composure and inquired, "Do we require a pretext?"

Liang Yuan chuckled, responding, "Pretexts? Are there not ample numbers of them? Consider the myriad offenses meticulously documented in the files compiled by Zhao Kai."

"Furthermore, did they not abscond with numerous technological innovations pioneered by Professor Li? Let us compel them to relinquish some of the military’s advanced technology."

Instantly, Li Qinghua's eyes gleamed. The military's technological prowess far surpasses what is currently available at Yangshan, and it is considerably more advanced.

Not to mention, the military's expertise in manufacturing energy guns is vastly superior to Yangshan's current capabilities.

After all, the military commands a comprehensive and modern weapon production line.

Even a minor enhancement can seamlessly integrate weaponry with extraordinary superpowers.

"I shall depart immediately."

Li Qinghua promptly rose to his feet, prepared to set the plan in motion.

Zhao Kai followed him, saying, "I will accompany you."

With the combined combat prowess of Yangshan's two top figures taking action, neither Zhang Dazhi nor Ge Liangen would be capable of instigating any trouble.

Liang Yuan nodded in assent, and the two individuals, along with a contingent of followers, promptly proceeded towards the military encampment.

Liang Yuan turned his gaze toward Tu Long, Zhang Peng, and the others, issuing instructions, "You shall discreetly lead your respective forces and lie in wait. Should we indicate an intent to sever ties with the military and engage in a full-scale conflict, the Three Great Sects might exploit the ensuing chaos."

"At that juncture, we can launch a surprise assault upon them."

Tu Long immediately nodded and responded, "Understood, Mr. Liang."

Zhang Peng stated, "I shall inform Zhou Wanxi and Li Chongming at Meishan."

"Mr. Liang, I will take charge of Lingyun Slope," Wu Ying volunteered.

Liang Yuan, however, shook his head and instructed, "You shall remain here; I have matters I wish to discuss with you. For Lingyun Slope, please arrange for someone else to assume the interim command."

Wu Ying appeared surprised but quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Liang."

Despite his uncertainty regarding Mr. Liang's intentions, he resolutely followed the orders.

Under Liang Yuan’s meticulous arrangements, commands were issued with swift efficiency.

Those who received directives promptly withdrew to their designated positions.

The entirety of Yangshan, galvanized by Liang Yuan's return, rapidly mobilized into action.

All personnel exhibited renewed vigor and spirit, a stark contrast to their previous state.

An organization’s morale is profoundly influenced by the presence of a universally acknowledged leader.

Liang Yuan served as a perfect embodiment of this principle.

Merely ten minutes later, the thunderous sound of explosions reverberated from the foothills of Yangshan.

This was soon followed by fierce, enraged roars.

Shortly thereafter, several figures were observed breaching the air, hurtling away at extreme speeds.

However, mere moments after these individuals had fled a short distance, the very fabric of space around them contorted violently.

In the ensuing instant, they were propelled headlong into this distorted space, vanishing completely without a trace.

Li Qinghua emerged from the spatial realm, a glacial smile gracing his lips.

Addressing the vast assembly of soldiers below, he bellowed, "Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen have been apprehended; do you still insist on resisting?"

Hovering atop two levitating Ice Swords, Zhao Kai sternly commanded, "Lay down your arms! Surrender or face annihilation!"

"Resist, and none shall be shown mercy!"

"For Yangshan!" The soldiers who had aligned themselves with Yangshan roared with fierce determination.

This sudden display sent a wave of pallor across the faces of the military soldiers.

The majority among them were not seasoned troops but individuals hastily recruited into the military following the cataclysmic floods.

Lacking the fortitude of true warriors, they were merely uniformed shells.

Such a breathtaking spectacle was entirely foreign to them.

In their tenure with the military, this moment marked their first encounter with such dire circumstances.

Previously, they had been an unstoppable force, scattering opponents before them.

Never in their wildest imaginings had they foreseen themselves reduced to the status of cornered strays.

"In your wildest dreams!"

An elder soldier, his spirit unbroken, roared defiantly.

But in the ensuing moment, an Ice Sword sliced through the air with lethal intent.

With a sickening thud, it impaled the old soldier instantly, ending his life on the spot!

Zhao Kai let out a cold, sneering laugh, proclaiming, "Those who defy us shall be executed without leniency!"

This chilling declaration immediately silenced the regular soldiers, their fear palpable.

Without delay, the more craven among them discarded their firearms and equipment.

Once one surrendered, the floodgates opened, and others followed suit.

In a manner akin to a landslide, the majority quickly yielded.

The forces from Yangshan surged forward, commencing the confiscation of weaponry and the apprehension of any mutinous soldiers who had previously acted unlawfully.

This entire sequence of events did not escape the notice of numerous observers.

Among them were covert operatives dispatched by the Three Great Sects.

At that very instant, several figures discreetly melted back into the throng, vanishing swiftly into the swirling blizzard.

Zhao Kai and Li Qinghua exchanged a knowing glance, deliberately averting their gazes from the departing figures, giving them no second thought.

"Now, we simply await the arrival of those fools from the Three Great Sects, ready to spring the trap," Li Qinghua murmured in a low tone.

Zhao Kai nodded in agreement, his eyes hardening, "This time, we must deliver a severe lesson to the Three Great Sects, ensuring they feel the sting of our reprisal."

"I had presumed he perished on that island, yet he has returned. It would be prudent, I believe, to ascertain what gains he made during his time there."

"It seems improbable that he remained on that Dark Attribute Floating Island for a month and a half without making any advancements."

"Recall that his Main Attribute surpassed 90 points a month and a half ago. I harbor concerns that he may have become even more formidable in the interim."

"To confront Yangshan, a meticulous plan is required, and thorough information gathering would be most beneficial."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianci’s forehead began to vein, and he could not restrain his shout, "Fang Hao!"

"Your indecisiveness is excessive. What if his Main Attribute did reach 90 points? Is there anyone among us who has not achieved that benchmark?"

"Throughout this past month and a half, we have all been striving for breakthroughs. However, as you yourself stated upon your return, the Dark Attribute Energy Floating Island offered precious little ambient energy."

"How could Liang possibly have achieved a breakthrough while confined there for such an extended period?"

"I am inclined to suspect that his capabilities may have actually diminished!"

"Now presents the absolute optimal moment for our offensive!"

"If we permit him to recuperate in Yangshan, that would indeed pose a monumental problem!"

"What are the opinions of the River Valley Elder and the Evangelical President regarding this matter?"

Lin Tianci’s gaze shifted towards the other two individuals present.

Among this pair, the River Valley Elder, despite his title, is actually a man in his early thirties.

The individual occupying the River Valley Elder’s seat is named He Mingzhi, a person of considerable standing within the Earth Mother Sect.

The other, the President of the Evangelical Mission, is a mustachioed middle-aged man in his forties, known as Qi Hongwen.

This very Evangelical President once led an expedition towards Mist City.

He narrowly missed wresting the Floating Island of Mist City from Chang Yuntao’s control.

Consequently, he is undoubtedly an individual not easily swayed.

He Mingzhi offered a smile, stating, "Tianci, you are aware that my responsibilities within the Sect pertain solely to internal provisions; engaging in battles is not the forte of this River Valley Elder."

"If you were to ask my perspective, why not deliberate amongst yourselves? I shall oversee the logistical support and reinforcements. What say you to that arrangement?"

Lin Tianci’s eyes brightened considerably, and he immediately responded, "That would be splendid. With the backing of the River Valley Elder’s support for logistics, my concerns in that regard will be entirely alleviated."

"Fang Hao, are the Desert Watchers truly not participating? President Qi, what is the stance of your organization?"

Qi Hongwen paused in contemplation before replying, "What you have presented are mere conjectures; I require concrete intelligence as a basis for any action."

Lin Tianci inquired promptly, "Should specific intelligence come to light, will the Evangelical Mission then commit to taking action?"

Qi Hongwen maintained his silence, clearly withholding a definitive affirmative response.
