Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1882 - 753: Appreciation from the Guardian God King
Previously on Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!...
Upon hearing Elina's words, Qiu Tu did not immediately respond, but instead smiled and said, "It seems Elina is not interested in the lower strategy."
Elina, upon hearing this, glanced lightly at Qiu Tu and lazily said, "Of course~"
She said, "Although your plan can indeed end this battle, it comes at the cost of sacrificing most benefits to retain a few."
"Such a plan is too ruthless. Unless absolutely necessary, it is difficult for us to adopt it."
Hearing Elina's words, Qiu Tu stared directly into Elina's eyes and asked in return,
"Then may I ask, Elina, does my plan fulfill my promise to resolve this battle?"
Perhaps unexpectedly, there was complete silence upon hearing Qiu Tu's words.
Qing Er quietly glanced at Qiu Tu and then at Elina, with evident worry in her eyes.
And at this moment, after hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elina smiled after a moment of astonishment.
She looked down at Qiu Tu and approvingly said, "You make sense."
"Previously, you only said you could help me end this battle. There were no limiting conditions on how to resolve it."
"So, although I don't like your plan, I should acknowledge the effectiveness of this plan."
She paused, then continued, "So... regardless of whether your subsequent plans are effective, you have fulfilled your promise and accomplished a feat."
Upon hearing Elina's words, Qiu Tu's expression didn't change, but inwardly he slightly nodded.
Don't think he intentionally contradicted Elina for no reason. In fact, it was quite the opposite; this is a crucial step.
The reason is simple: Qiu Tu is probing Elina's character, gradually establishing a character model for her, and figuring out the workings of the "temple" organization.
One must know that a person, an organization, has different character and behavior, and their attitude towards the same thing will differ.
Only by understanding these can Qiu Tu more easily navigate within the rules and adjust his plans while ensuring his interests.
Just like Elina's character that Qiu Tu tested out now.
Although Elina appears carefree and extremely casual, in reality...she is indeed a standard "Order Path" God King.
This can be seen from her giving a balanced promise even when she needs something from Qiu Tu as a superior.
And this "lower strategy" is similar.
After realizing the fairness in Elina's promise, Qiu Tu worried about one thing:
Is Elina truly impartial or deliberately protecting the Star Casting God King?
After all, although she offered a relatively fair promise, it somewhat protects the Star Casting God King.
Thus, Qiu Tu must test with himself to ascertain Elina's true character.
Luckily, the test results were good: Elina is indeed a fairly impartial supervisor, as well as a typical "Order God King."
Such test results will be crucial for the implementation of Qiu Tu's subsequent middle and upper strategies.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu did not delay further and formally began discussing the middle strategy.
He looked at Elina and first thanked her, "Thank you, I've received your promise, so I can proceed with ease in explaining my plan."
He continued, "Having talked about the lower strategy, let's discuss the middle strategy."
Qiu Tu looked at Elina and began to explain, "The middle strategy is really simple."
"If the lower strategy is 'cutting off the tail to survive,' then the middle strategy is to harm the enemy by a thousand while sacrificing eight hundred."
Elina's beautiful eyes quietly watched Qiu Tu, as if waiting for his explanation.
Qiu Tu spoke, "To put it simply, the middle strategy is not about preserving strength, but about balancing gains and losses, perhaps even gaining a little advantage."
As he spoke, Qiu Tu lightly waved his hand, and suddenly a three-dimensional graphic appeared, clearly marking the locations of seven "Star Casting Divine Systems" underground divine countries.
Qiu Tu then gently placed another blue star half a meter away from these seven underground divine countries.
He said, "This is 'Chaotic Western Capital,' the core area of the entire 'Chaos Camp' in the west."
Seeing Qiu Tu point out 'Chaotic Western Capital,' Elina's brows furrowed slightly, as if she had guessed what Qiu Tu was about to say.
Sure enough, Qiu Tu said, "Normally...because it is protected by multiple God Kings and countless Chaos Heavenly Gods, it's impregnable."
"However...now to simultaneously attack the 7 'underground divine countries,' most of the heavenly gods and God Kings in 'Chaotic Western Capital' have been withdrawn."
"This can be said to be the most vulnerable moment for 'Chaotic Western Capital' in the past century."
At this point, Qiu Tu paused and looked at Elina meaningfully, saying, "And more importantly...the 'World Coordinates' of 'Chaotic Western Capital' have never been hidden, nor has the 'World Channel' been closed..."
"Thus, we don't even need to prepare in advance; we can directly invade 'Chaotic Western Capital.'"
"Sacrificing 7 'underground divine countries,' but destroying the core gathering place of the 'Chaos Camp' in the west, although not a gain, it's certainly not a loss."
