#540 - Chapter 539 It Should Be
Li Chenqiu was silent, not replying immediately, and the dining table fell into silence.
Sitting on the chair, Nu Sha, who was half a head shorter than the others, realized that he had no presence. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then lowered his voice and said:
"I think you are all caught in a misunderstanding. Saving people is like fighting a war. There are many examples of the weak defeating the strong on the battlefield. It all depends on tactics. We can start with tactics."
Jing Cheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and she asked curiously, "What tactics do you have?"
Nu Sha said as a matter of course, "This is not my business alone. Of course, everyone has to think about the tactics together. Master, do you think I'm right?"
Li Chenqiu's eyes lifted slightly, his gaze not as listless as before: "I think Nu Sha is right. What if our strength is not as good as theirs? We are going to save people, not to fight. We just need to come up with a way to rescue them."
Nu Sha crossed his arms and nodded in agreement: "Master's idea coincides with mine."
Gui Hai asked coldly, "What do you plan to do?"
Li Chenqiu leaned forward slightly, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces: "The biggest problem now is that Thirteenth Order, right?"
"Yes."
"You could say that."
Several people responded at the same time.
Li Chenqiu's eyes were burning: "I would like to ask the four of you, how many Twelfth Order can you kill in three days if you join forces?"
Except for Nu Sha, the others were not fools and immediately understood what Li Chenqiu meant.
Shi Xiang stretched out a finger: "If we arrange everything and catch them off guard, we can kill one."
"So few?" A look of surprise flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes.
Jing Cheng smiled slightly and explained: "It is very easy for us to severely injure a Twelfth Order, but it is very difficult to kill one.
The reason why our strength is comparable to the Twelfth Order is because of our abilities and realms, not our physical bodies. If that Twelfth Order sincerely wants to run, we can't catch up."
"Then if the body of this Twelfth Order can promote one of you to the Twelfth Order, can you hold back that Thirteenth Order?" Li Chenqiu asked anxiously.
"The gap between the Twelfth Order and the Thirteenth Order is even greater. In a head-on battle, none of the four of us are a match for the Thirteenth Order, but if it's just to hold them back, I can do it," Gui Hai said calmly.
Nu Sha raised his hand and said somewhat weakly, "I... I can too!"
Gui Hai cast a suspicious look: "You can too?"
"What's wrong? You can do it, and as the master's most capable subordinate, I can naturally do it too!" Nu Sha was a little angry at this look and retorted angrily.
Gui Hai shifted his gaze, picked up a bun, and ate it silently.
Seeing this, Nu Sha also tilted his head and ignored the other party.
After the little interlude, Li Chenqiu began to speak again: "As long as we have combat power on our side that can hold back that Thirteenth Order, things will be much simpler.
This purge is a public purge, and everyone in the Federation can see it. This is a good opportunity for us. The existence of the Anbu is to protect the people and manage the Awakened.
We can seize the former, use this public broadcast to morally bind the Anbu, and force them to let Li Ji go. I think there is a probability of success!"
"How exactly do we do it?"
Jing Cheng propped her chin with one hand, her slender fingers tapping rhythmically on her fair cheek.
Li Chenqiu put his hand on the dining table, and with a thought, a wisp of black smoke floated from his fingertips and turned into a humanoid soul soldier standing aside.
"I have told you all about the function of my Spirit Artifact before. I believe you all know about the Soul Soldier's ability to self-destruct. My idea is very simple, which is to distribute the high-level Soul Soldiers in various cities.
After the live broadcast starts, use the safety of the people to force the Anbu to compromise. If they don't let people go, I will let the Soul Soldiers self-destruct. If they keep not letting people go, then I will let the Soul Soldiers keep self-destructing. Under the pressure of public opinion, they will probably choose to back down."
Soul Soldiers above the Ninth Order stay in the Ember to deal with emergencies. Soul Soldiers from the Sixth Order to the Ninth Order are used to threaten the Anbu by self-destruction. As for Soul Soldiers below the Sixth Order, there is no need for them to appear.
Their strength is too weak to provide me with substantial help. If they are used for self-destruction, there will be a risk of exposing my identity. After all, the power of self-destruction is too small. To severely damage a city, a large number of low-level Soul Soldiers are needed.
With so many low-level Soul Soldiers hidden in the city, it is not guaranteed that people will discover clues, so it is better not to let them appear.
After listening to Li Chenqiu's words, Shi Xiang pondered for a while and asked, "Master, how many cities can your high-level Soul Soldiers have a greater impact on?"
Li Chenqiu said, "About a dozen cities. If all the high-level Soul Soldiers are divided into small teams, with the goal of destroying a city, they can probably destroy three cities, which is enough to threaten the Anbu."
Jing Cheng shook her head: "The person you want to save is so valued by the Anbu that even the Thirteenth Order has been dispatched. A few cities are not enough. The pressure of public opinion you mentioned can actually be solved by cutting off the live broadcast and blocking the signal.
Even if you risk exposing your identity and release two Eleventh Order Soul Soldiers, they won't be able to cause much trouble. I estimate that your Soul Soldiers will be surrounded after destroying two or three cities."
Li Chenqiu's expression was calm: "I know, but it's better to try than not to try. If it can succeed, then that's naturally the best. If it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter. I have other methods."
"Oh? What method?" A curious light appeared in Jing Cheng's eyes.
Li Chenqiu frowned and lowered his eyebrows: "The district chief of that forbidden disaster area is called Zhou Lian. What I have to do is to firmly grasp the people he cares about in my hands within these three days.
Zhou Lian, as a district chief, is not qualified to make the Anbu give up purging Li Ji, but the place where Li Ji is to be purged is on his territory. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. As long as he wants to let him go, he can definitely let him go.
But afterwards, there will probably be people from the Anbu coming to hunt us down. At that time, I will rely on the four of you to delay them and buy me some time to escape."
After saying that, he pulled back his chair and stood up, bowing deeply to the four of them.
This move startled Nu Sha, who immediately stood up and helped Li Chenqiu up: "How can a master bow to his subordinates? I'll return the bow to you!"
Jing Cheng sneered, "Nu Sha, this master should bow to us."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Nu Sha bent his knees and jumped onto the chair, pointing at the three people who were sitting firmly on Mount Tai: "You guys quickly stand up and bow to the master with me, otherwise I'll tell the real master what you've done!"
"He should."
Li Chenqiu grabbed Nu Sha's small hand and pulled the confused person off the chair.
"Master, how can this be right? Why are you confused too!" Nu Sha was confused.
Shi Xiang put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Nu Sha, our speed is not as good as others. Delaying time is no different from courting death, because we can't escape, so we can only fight to the death."
