Chapter 937: The Great Battle Begins!
If a simp could easily wake up from his obsession, then he wouldn't be called a simp.
The reason why Adashim showed this expression was merely to spark a bit of sympathy in Cathy.
As expected...
These world-class powerhouses were very familiar with Adashim's pathetic tendencies.
His pitiful look only lasted for a few seconds.
Seeing that Cathy completely ignored him, his expression returned to normal, and he once again followed behind Cathy eagerly. Wherever Cathy went, he would follow.
This scene made the world-class powerhouses feel that Adashim deserved it.
Hence, no other world-class powerhouse even bothered to pursue Cathy.
Otherwise, Adashim wouldn't have stood a chance.
Furthermore...
Fortunately, Cathy wasn't a promiscuous woman, or else Adashim would probably turn into a sheepdog, eagerly licking her boots and even offering to rub her back after.
Right now, if Cathy asked Adashim to charge forward and fight the Ten Thousand Demons Sovereigns, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a second.
"A dignified world-class powerhouse, and the president of one of the top ten world-class guilds, yet he's a hopeless simp!"
"Sigh! Truly lamentable!"
"Did you see that? Even the members of his guild are ashamed. It's absolutely disgraceful..."
The onlookers couldn't help but sigh.
As for the members of the Xuantian Guild, just as the onlookers said, each of them hung their heads low, not wanting to look at their disgraceful simp of a president.
Originally, Adashim did have some hostility toward Ling Zhan.
But now, seeing that Ling Zhan completely ignored Cathy, much of his hostility faded away.
At the very least, Ling Zhan wasn't deliberately trying to steal his woman.
After the grand welcome.
It was time for the banquet.
Everyone present was a renowned world-class powerhouse. Although they were quite curious about this non-specialist and had the urge to spar with him, they weren't brainless enough to provoke him right away.
Overall...
The banquet proceeded peacefully, with both hosts and guests enjoying themselves.
Following the banquet was the Holy Assembly's extremely solemn meeting.
All the world-class powerhouses who had arrived on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent were present.
They began formulating the general strategy and detailed plans for the final campaign against the demons.
This battle would be the largest-scale conflict in the history of the lower realms!
It would also be the ultimate showdown between the Kingdoms and the Ten Thousand Demons' Abyss!
This meeting lasted a full five days.
Many details needed to be refined.
Absolutely no mistakes were allowed in such a critical battle.
During these five days of meetings, Ling Zhan actually had some leisure time.
Mainly because the refinement of these details didn't require his involvement, and the overall strategy for the final campaign didn't need his input.
Ling Zhan was quite self-aware.
He was very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.
In the Dragon Kingdom, there is an idiom.
It's called 'Talking about soldiers on paper.'
Ling Zhan's shallow understanding of military strategy didn't need to be compared with these veterans who had been on the battlefield for decades, even centuries.
Their strength might not match Ling Zhan's.
But they had fought on battlefields their entire lives, with top-notch control over warfare tactics, strategy formulation, and command insights.
These were all skills accumulated through countless wars.
Not something Ling Zhan could match by just reading a few books on military strategy.
Moreover...
The only major wars Ling Zhan had commanded were the Lemoris Fortress Battle.
And the counteroffensive in the Hundred Ghosts Fortress of the Fusang Kingdom.
Most importantly...
In these two large-scale battles, Ling Zhan turned the tide with his overwhelming personal strength, not through top-tier tactics...
Simply put, Ling Zhan's strength had reached a level where he could ignore strategic plans.
To the point where he barely needed to command, yet still easily won the battles.
Therefore...
During the Holy Assembly's meetings, although many big shots intentionally asked for Ling Zhan's opinion, he always shook his head, indicating that all strategic details should be decided by the battlefield veterans.
He wouldn't interfere at all.
Ling Zhan's attitude undoubtedly made the big shots' favorability towards him skyrocket!
It's rare indeed!
A young person with self-awareness is truly a rare find!
Especially someone like Ling Zhan!
They've been here for so long, and they've seen countless rising stars.
Many of them!
They've nurtured batch after batch of top talents!
But these prodigies often share a common flaw.
That is, they easily become arrogant.
Personal strength at the top often leads to an inflated sense of self-worth.
In the past, many young prodigies would attend the Holy Assembly meetings, speaking out arrogantly when asked for their opinions.
Even if it was just a polite inquiry, these tactically clueless individuals would start giving grand speeches.
Confidently sharing their so-called invincible strategies. If others didn't adopt them, they would feel as if others were blind or foolish.
They genuinely believed their strategies were the best.
This sort of situation...
These veteran warriors had witnessed countless times.
Now, seeing Ling Zhan choosing to remain silent, it made these seasoned veterans admire him even more.
Some even sighed inwardly, wishing that this non-specialist had been born in their Kingdom.
Five days later.
The details for this campaign were fully finalized.
Ling Zhan was assigned an incredibly important mission.
He would lead the Demon-Slaying Legion to attack from the eastern side of the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress.
Launching a pincer annihilation strategy!
On the other side, the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss was expanding its territory frantically, with camps, towers, fortresses, and citadels continuously being built.
Ling Zhan's task was to completely conquer the eastern region of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss and form a three-sided siege with the various Kingdoms' legions on the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress!
Naturally, the Kingdoms' legions would not just sit back and watch as this fortress continued to grow stronger.
Time was tight.
Fortunately, the Kingdoms' legions were extremely well-prepared this time.
After confirming the strategy.
The military orders were absolute.
Many legions had already begun mobilizing.
Ling Zhan's Demon-Slaying Legion also departed from the Lemoris Fortress, boarding a spatial warship to head towards the battlefield.
The Great Demon War had officially begun!
Once this battle ends, Ling Zhan would ascend to the upper realms and begin a new journey!
Of course...
That is, if the battle goes smoothly.
But even Ling Zhan couldn't guarantee that everything would go perfectly.
They were ready to set off.
But the enemy would not just sit idly by.
It's likely that on the other side, the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss and its sovereigns, under the leadership of their Demon Sovereign, had already begun to make their moves.
