Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1666: Dispatching Troops and Generals

Zhang Yi quietly listened as Newton finished the story, then let out a long sigh.

"This world really is far too wondrous. What humanity can access and understand is far, far too little."

Then Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, what happened after? I believe that given Colombia's way of doing things, it's impossible that you didn't continue exploring."

At this, Newton unexpectedly smiled, though that smile still looked somewhat cold.

"Of course."

He didn't elaborate further. That was Colombia's internal secret.

……

Reinforcements from various nations arrived one after another. The largest supporter was naturally Colombia, followed by Freemonts.

A portion of other nations also provided support, but they did not commit Epsilon-class Transcendents, who held dominant power on the battlefield.

Clearly, not every nation possessed the strength and boldness of Huaxu Nation or Colombia.

As for Brahmin, their not lifting a finger was within expectations, so no one was particularly surprised.

Soon, the operational meeting convened once again, and this time, the participating organizations included people from Freemonts and Colombia.

In Shengjing district, Meng Yuanjun gave a concise summary of the attack that had occurred in Shengjing a few days prior.

"War will soon return! So the time left for us to prepare is not much."

"Although Huaxu Nation has an old saying, that one can chase a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. Yet right now, we can only be ready for defense at all times."

At this point, he looked toward Newton, Cadillus, Alexei, and the others in the video conference.

"This may require all of you to remain in Huaxu Nation for quite a long period."

Newton pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "We were prepared for this long ago. And we also believe this battle won't take too long to arrive."

"Even if the mysterious civilization beneath Star Island does not reveal itself, conflicts erupting in other corners of the world on a large scale are only a matter of time."

To this, Meng Yuanjun and the others neither confirmed nor denied.

But Zhang Yi very much agreed with Newton's words.

From the Mist Valley on Star Island, to Nash Kingdom, then to the Qinling Mountains Tianyuan pit, and then those mysterious Three Pillar Gods of Neon Nation.

They gradually proved one thing, that as the Great Cataclysm approached, those ancient mysterious civilizations hidden in the shadows were revealing themselves one after another.

Even if humanity did not actively contact them, they would still set foot upon this land.

War between races was unavoidable.

By this time, Meng Yuanjun had gained the joint approval of the six major regions and had become the supreme commander of this war.

He expressed his meaning to Newton and the others.

"During wartime, military law is strict. Even allied forces who have come to assist must obey battlefield deployments. I hope everyone will keep this in mind!"

"That's only natural. We will do our utmost to cooperate with your tactical arrangements."

Newton agreed very readily.

He was always a man who strictly adhered to principles in his work, and was lacking in flexibility.

This was not because he was foolish, but on the contrary, because he was too intelligent.

In the eyes of an intelligent person, once everyone can act according to rules, trusting each other with no barriers between them, that is the method by which efficiency is highest and success is most easily achieved.

Alexei also nodded. This honest big man from the northern nation said in a deep voice:

"We will act according to Huaxu Nation's plans."

Meng Yuanjun nodded.

"Good, then! Next, let us discuss this upcoming war."

As he spoke, he directly unfolded a three-dimensional map of Huaxu Nation in the center of the meeting room.

"The scope covered by the previous war was nearly all of Huaxu Nation, as well as Colombia's naval base."

"But from what I know, Colombia's Ocean Fleet has already relocated, so the possibility of that location becoming a main battlefield once again has been eliminated."

"Then," he extended a finger toward the map, "in the coming battle, any place in Huaxu Nation could become a target of enemy attack!"

"And our counter-plan is to make use of the ability of a space-type Transcendent from Shengjing district, enabling real-time transportation of troops to any location throughout Huaxu Nation."

"In this way, we can avoid having the enemy concentrate superior forces and destroy one of our districts first."

He said very seriously, "You should all be clear that even the forces the Wuluan Empire dispatched last time were enough to directly contend with the entire Huaxu Nation."

"Considering further the later attack on Shengjing district, it can be judged that the Wuluan Empire's true strength far exceeds what they displayed last time."

Zhang Yi stared at that three-dimensional map, silently listening. Yang Xinxin was right by his side.

On an occasion like this, Zhang Yi could not contribute many views. After all, he was not a genius at the strategic level.

So most of the time he remained silent and taciturn, only speaking up when he thought of a special issue.

A person must remember the strengths and weaknesses of their own abilities, and let professionals do professional things.

Newton pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and asked slowly, "Then, what if it's like last time, and the enemy chooses to split their forces to launch attacks?"

"Based on the intelligence we have obtained, in the previous war, the Wuluan Empire's preparations were extremely thorough. They launched targeted attacks on each district."

"Since this time it is we humans who hold the initiative, have tactical arrangements been made to counter them?"

This point was very important, and it was also what Newton cared about most.

At the final level of war, the decisive factor was still "people."

And moreover, they had to be high-grade Transcendents.

Meng Yuanjun nodded.

"This question is very well asked. Over these past few days, we have conducted a comprehensive review of the previous war and made targeted tactical arrangements!"

The three-dimensional map shifted again, and five figures in Silver Armor appeared.

Their combat suits looked similar, but were clearly tailor-made, and upon closer inspection one could see the differences.

Meng Yuanjun said in a deep voice, "The Mist Valley Transcendents who led the attacks on all sides last time, the most threatening were naturally these Silver Armor Transcendents! Based on their abilities, we have assigned them codenames respectively."

He pointed to those Transcendents in the image, and text markers emerged above their heads.

"They are respectively [Sea Beast], [Smoke], [Giant Blade], [Blood Tide], and [Thunder]."

The light representing the Silver Armor Transcendent [Thunder] rapidly dimmed.

"Of course, [Thunder] among them has already been slain by [Chaos] of Jiangnan Region."

Meng Yuanjun deliberately emphasized this point, and everyone's gaze naturally fell upon Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi crossed his arms over his chest, his expression calm, as if he had merely done a trivial little thing.
