The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 300 - Secret Meeting II
There was barely any sound for a few seconds until Xin Chen continued.
"You came here not just to eat and sleep and build a base. Remember our original goal was to win the war. It is not about controlling or occupying territory. But to avoid the coming of war due to feuds between empires who want to fight for places and positions."
"Let me be clear what the purpose of the Four Surveillance Units is now."
The young man confirmed every sentence. "We are here, first to return the Demon Sword to the Shang Empire. Second to conquer two other Empires and third to reconcile the war due to the seizure of the inheritance of the sky. Up here alone, anything less understandable?"
Yun Shan raised his hand. "What about the number of our soldiers who are not yet equal to the enemy?"
"The First Pillar is currently working with me. He also wanted a war for the Demon Sword. We can utilize that momentum to subdue one Empire first. It is up to the Wei Empire or the Qing Empire. What is clear is that the support of the Shang Empire is in our hands."
Hearing the explanation they were a little more relieved than before.
"I'll send him a letter. To prepare hundreds of thousands of war soldiers. We only have eight more months before the Bloody Treaty runs out and the Qing Empire starts another massive war."
"They have the Dark Dragon on their side as well as the Demon Sword. I don't know ..." Xin Chen suddenly stopped, making the others look at him curiously.
"What's up, Young Master?" Lan Zhuxian.
"Forget over. Back with the matter of Bai Huang's assault."
Xin Chen explained back to what he had told Tian Xi and Bai Huang before, about his departure to the Qing Empire and joining the enemy war alliance. Of course the second reckless plan of Xin Chen left the others flabbergasted.
He has considered everything. Just like what Tian Xi said, the Four Surveillance Units now would not be able to serve enemies numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Moreover, they are provided by careful preparation and much larger funds. Do not cover the possibility of the enemy exceeding the number of two hundred thousand. And that was an amount that was also enough to take over a portion of the Shang Empire.
Lao Zi felt this meeting was like a mere dream. No, maybe the discussion just doesn't sound reasonable.
"One against hundreds of thousands?"
"I've said it ten times. It is not me who is facing it directly. They will fall by my law. Until here no one asks what and why. Your job is to prepare soldiers and war supplies unbeknownst to the enemy. I'll leave all the money I have for this war. If I hear just one of you retreat ..."
Xin Chen raised his face, he also opened his eyes wide.
"Please go. But I don't guarantee your lives out there. Especially after listening to all my plans."
"Bad Young Master!"
"Can be finished!"
Unit One members were disbanded, but no one wanted to stand from there. Xin Chen looked at them one by one.
"It seems I should listen to you. Who wants to talk first? Please discuss, I'll hear it."
Others may finally issue opinions. The first one is definitely Shui. Even if he's actually following along. He said he would fight. Than there's no job on the ocean floor like it used to be.
"Regarding your departure, are you sure you didn't bring a partner?"
"No. I'm going alone. There is no debate. Because this is quite a danger and your identity is easily known. While I've been missing for a long time, seven years. The news of my death has reached their ears. I think this is quite beneficial for me."
"What if they attacked earlier than we thought? Or is there another party who destroyed the enemy before them?"
"How can I inform the development of the headquarters to Young Master?"
Xin Chen shook his head, "No need. I'll close communication with you. It would probably only rely on the seller of Information to know the state of the Four Surveillance Units. Our enemies are not ordinary people. It could be dangerous if this mission fails."
Discussions continued for so long, even others forgot to eat. From morning until night their new day was over, Xin Chen took a deep breath. It seems more dizzy to take care of Unit One's questions than to plan its own infiltration.
Everyone had already returned to their respective places, except Shui. The Blue Mane was embracing him.
"You hear something from me?"
"What?"
"Where did you go when I was in that damned house?"
"To YuangXe. They didn't tell you?"
"No. We went home Bai Huang was already badly injured. His leg was hit by a deep stab." Shui became his talk, looking to the side while patting Xin Chen on the shoulder.
"You haven't changed yet."
Xin Chen did not understand what Shui was talking about, he simply raised his next eyebrow. Meanwhile Shui really wanted to pinch Xin Chen's head.
"You always put all your problems on yourself. Don't want anyone else involved for fear of them dying in the fight. Instead, you're just relying on yourself. Feel your life is enough to make up for the number of people who should have died?"
There was no defense from Xin Chen's mouth. So Shui is right.
"Ck, to be honest with you, you're just gonna keep torturing yourself. Carry all the burdens and expect no one to help you. You are a rare human being, I rarely see a fool flowing into the flesh like you."
Xin Chen quickened his pace, leaving Shui behind. "Hais, stop! This stone head is hard to say! You wait for me to die and hear me?"
Xin Chen was stunned for a long time. She turned to where Shui who returned her gaze was careless.
"What's? I thought I said I offended you?"
Shui caught up quickly, afraid that Xin Chen would change his mind. His face turned convincing as he spoke.
"You've heard of the Fire Salamender, haven't you? The Lightning Fox must have told you!"
"Fire Salamender?" He recalled, only faint but the name had indeed been heard first. Maybe during the war.
"He once said something like 'if the Fire Salamender were here'. You know, the Dark Dragon must be killed with the help of a fellow Demon Lord Earth. There's only a few left of us and I think you should look for them too."
"In this eight months?"
"If not, you won't even be able to remove a single head of the Qing Empire. If you change your mind, meet me tomorrow."
