Chapter 892: Three-Day Deadline! Capture the Fortress!
This is the consequence of being a weak race.
This dryad before him could only rely on the help of others to ensure her people's safety.
Then the question arises...
Even if the thirty fortresses here are taken and the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss problem is resolved, will weak races like the dryads be safe?
In Ling Zhan's view, not necessarily.
A weak race, even viewed as a war resource—destroying the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and Demon Arrival Organization likely won't change their fate.
The reason is simple.
As long as there's profit, persecution of dryads won't stop.
In today's class-advanced world, nations have banded together due to the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and Demon Arrival Organization.
At most, there's minor conflict.
But once the threat of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss is eliminated, wars among nations and races will likely reignite.
The reason?
It could be resource disputes, territorial occupation, or displays of power and authority.
In short—
The chance of war is very high.
And dryads will once again be thrust into the center of conflict.
That's why Ling Zhan sighed.
Should he do something about it?
Right now, he certainly had the power to.
Ling Zhan began to reflect.
In the past, he remained detached from matters not his own.
But now that he had the power to change things, perhaps he should act.
At the very least...
His existence should deter nations and races from restarting wars.
But for now—
The priority was to eliminate all camps, towers, and fortresses around Lemoris Fortress.
Cut off this super fortress's supplies completely.
"Instructor Ling, cutting off the camps, towers, and fortresses might not be fatal to Lemoris Fortress."
"Back then, our national legions besieged it for two and a half years, and their energy supply remained strong."
At this moment—
David, Janna, and the others who had just returned after securing all the camps and towers, voiced their opinions upon hearing Ling Zhan's strategy.
In the past, they wouldn't dare question Ling Zhan.
But now, Ling Zhan invited their feedback.
So they spoke freely.
In response to David's point, Ling Zhan looked at him and asked calmly, "Who told you my goal in clearing the camps, towers, and fortresses is only to cut off supplies?"
Everyone was stunned.
Not just to cut off supplies?
Then for what?
Ling Zhan turned to the strategic map.
This was a brand-new holographic projection map.
Of course...
It was drawn by geographers based on the dryad's sensing.
The layout of camps, towers, and fortresses was crystal clear.
As for terrain—
The national army database definitely had backups.
After all, they had once besieged Lemoris Fortress.
Looking at the red dots on the map, Ling Zhan said, "Everyone gather at 7 AM tomorrow. Follow me for a sweeping operation. Three days... no! Two days! We'll clear all strategic points around Lemoris Fortress!"
Whoa!!
The crowd erupted!
Their faces were filled with shock!
Two days!
To eliminate all enemy camps, towers, and fortresses!
This...
Is that even possible?
"Hiss... Instructor Ling's decision is truly shocking!"
"Not just shocking—it's a bit absurd..."
"Indeed, it took the allied armies half a month to clean out Lemoris Fortress's strategic layout. Can we really do it with only 2,000 people?"
For the first time, doubt crept into their voices.
Understandable.
It was too incredible.
Even Moldes, Ye Qingling, and Bazel looked unconvinced.
"Enough! Look at you all, like you've never seen the world!"
"If my master says it's possible, then it is!"
"Besides..."
"Before my master appeared, would you believe a non-specialist could defeat a level 190 expert solo?"
At that moment—
Yun Man sneered as she scanned the crowd, full of disdain.
To her—
Her faith in her master was absolute.
Even if he said he could dive into the heart of the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss and slay all demon Sovereigns, she'd believe him.
Those who doubted him were simply short-sighted.
After Yun Man's words—
The crowd realized something.
Right...
This non-specialist truly defied common sense.
If he said he could clear all strategic points in two days, then maybe he could.
Night fell.
Ling Zhan's group didn't occupy the camps or towers.
Why?
Because taking control would instantly alert Lemoris Fortress.
When the demon race occupies a zone, it links it to the fortress.
Now, since the detection eye and data transfer rooms were destroyed, Lemoris Fortress wouldn't know they'd been invaded.
Also...
Lemoris Fortress was cautious.
From captured demon soldiers, they learned that headquarters sends scouts every five days to inspect camps, towers, and fortresses.
To prevent unknown accidents.
That's why Ling Zhan aimed to complete this in two days.
Because in three days, the next inspection would come.
If they discovered anything, assaulting the fortress would be far harder.
Ling Zhan wanted to strike unexpectedly!
He was determined to take Lemoris Fortress in three days!
Complete the system task!
