Chapter 1006: Chapter 887: Seizing Power (Make-up 44)
Early the next morning, the leaders and vice leaders of the Six Major Alliances’ allied forces rushed to the city’s council hall.
All this, simply because Ye Fan suddenly issued an ergency command last night, requiring the leaders and vice leaders of the Six Major Alliances’ allied forces to hold an ergency eting this morning.
The so-called council hall was actually the Ming Hall of a giant mansion in the Ancient City, originally the residence of the City Lord, and later turned into the city governnt.
Afterward, the alliance requisitioned this city governnt building, and the mayor and his officials hastily evacuated from it.
Faced with mutant beasts, these ordinary people had no ability to resist. Even with powerful firearms, they posed no significant threat to these mutant beasts.
After the Alliance Army stationed in Hong su City, it beca the office of the strong people from the Russian Alliance, until Ye Fan was appointed as the commander in chief of this joint operation. The Russian Alliance people wisely vacated it for Ye Fan, Su Liuli, and others for cultivation, rest, and office purposes.
Ye Fan never really thought of utilizing it for office work. It was obvious that there was an irreconcilable fundantal conflict between humans and mutant beasts.
Mutant beasts required vast amounts of blood food and territory, and ordinary wild animals were gradually mutating, so it was naturally impossible to supply more mutant beasts with food, making humans the optimal food target.
anwhile, human cultivators inevitably needed to hunt mutant beasts to speed up their cultivation and obtain Beast Cores.
Furthermore, ordinary people could not allow their ancestral lands to beco territories of mutant beasts.
Therefore, war was unavoidable!
Only by killing mutant beasts could human society hope to prevent harassnt by them.
Ye Fan’s sole objective was to inflict heavy casualties on mutant beasts, to weaken their strength as much as possible. Only by hitting them so hard would these mutant beasts beco docile.
Thus, this command post was temporary. Once the mutant beasts were driven away, the command post would inevitably advance until all mutant beasts were eliminated, marking a true victory.
When Ye Fan arrived at the council hall, everyone was already present. After all, no one wanted to be part of the first batch roasted by this newly appointed leader.
Although everyone was there, it was still clear from their expressions that they held Ye Fan in contempt. They had already reached an agreent last night: to rely appear to work, allowing those led by Lv Yuan from the Huaxia Alliance Army to serve as cannon fodder, so they could conserve their strength.
It must be said, their calculations were ticulous, all at a ti like this they were still contemplating how to preserve their strength during battle.
Upon seeing Ye Fan’s arrival, Xu Changsheng and the leaders and vice leaders of the Five Great Alliances remained seated, showing no intention of welcoming him, portraying a detached deanor.
In their hearts, they had resolved that no matter what Ye Fan said, they would feign compliance and give Ye Fan a dose of humiliation, letting him know that they were not easily commanded.
Ye Fan, seeing this, showed no sign of discontent but rather placed both hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, his gaze sweeping successively over the crowd with an air of aggression.
Seeing his aggressive posture, everyone instinctively adopted a guarded deanor.
These were subconscious human responses. Even cultivators were no exception, as people are often vigilant when sensing danger.
“I have already seen the reports from last night, and the casualties across various divisions are minimal. This gratifies .”
Soon, Ye Fan’s calm voice resonated in the quiet council hall, seemingly not angry at all.
“Hmm?!”
As Ye Fan’s words reached their ears, Xu Changsheng and the leaders and vice leaders of the Five Great Alliances felt deeply puzzled.
They knew that the minimal casualties were primarily due to their orders to hold back, rely pretending to engage in battle.
Ye Fan’s words suggested he might be speaking in irony or perhaps hadn’t noticed their covert maneuvers?
They leaned toward the latter because Ye Fan seed too young and inexperienced in such tricky matters.
On second thought, it didn’t add up, as Ye Fan might be young, but could Lv Yuan, who was like one of them, not see through their sches? Or perhaps Lv Yuan hadn’t inford Ye Fan?
After a brief silence, seeing that no one spoke, Ye Fan continued, “Due to the urgency yesterday, there were so matters I didn’t have a chance to address. This led to so individuals not exerting full effort in the battle with the mutant beasts.”
“I believe each leader is sowhat aware of this, so I won’t elaborate further! What I need to state is, the war between mutant beasts and humans concerns the survival of humanity! I hope all allied forces realize and understand the significance of this war!”
After speaking, Ye Fan paused, observing their expressions again, and found no change.
anwhile, Xu Changsheng and others internally sneered, hiding mockery in the depths of their eyes, as if mocking Ye Fan’s youthful ignorance!
This outco was within Ye Fan’s expectations. He was not angry but lightly coughed to attract attention before mysteriously stating, “Next, I have an announcent, a matter beneficial to everyone!”
Hmm?
As the saying goes, no one gets up early without a benefit.
Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, although the leaders and vice leaders still showed no change on their faces, their ears perked up.
“Huh…”
Xu Changsheng sneered, not believing Ye Fan would offer them any benefits. Even if there were, it wouldn’t alter his resolve to oppose Ye Fan and let him leave sooner.
Ye Fan, seeing everyone’s reactions, paused for a mont before continuing, “To boost your enthusiasm for hunting mutant beasts, I’ve decided that once we eliminate the mutant beasts, the allied force that kills the most mutant beasts will be awarded an Ancient Heavenly Technique…”
Wow!
Now, everyone’s expressions changed!
Clearly, they did not expect Ye Fan to be so generous!
One step of Ancient Heavenly Technique ans what? It signifies the heritage of an ancient family!
Although they all have their own Ancient Heavenly Techniques, if they have a chance to obtain a second one, they would absolutely not give up. Even if it ans fighting to the death!
Even though they said nothing, Ye Fan could still see that they were tempted.
As the saying goes, liquor makes people lose their senses, and gold moves the heart. These strong people from various ancient families may treat gold as dirt, but they absolutely cannot resist the temptation of the Ancient Heavenly Technique.
However, there was a prior agreent in place, so although they were tempted, none of them showed it. They still adhered to the previously agreed strategy to first squeeze Ye Fan out, and if they could remove him with the help of a mutant beast, that would be ideal.
Seeing that none of these people could be used, Lv Yuan knew it was ti for him to step forward—Ye Fan had told him the strategy yesterday.
According to the prior agreent, Lv Yuan stood up and pretended to be curious, asking: “Dare I ask Commander Ye, what are the Ancient Heavenly Technique rewards?”
“Very simple!”
Ye Fan deliberately glanced at the Ross family of the Arican Alliance and leisurely said: “Everyone, do you rember the Hidden God List competition?”
Hmm?!
Everyone was stunned. They had clearly been talking about the rewards of the Ancient Heavenly Technique, so why did he suddenly bring up the Hidden God List competition?
However, these people were all cunning old foxes, and without showing any emotion, indicated they understood, gesturing for Ye Fan to continue.
Ye Fan did not keep them in suspense and continued: “During the Hidden God List competition, certain people wanted to kill , but they all ended up dying by my hand. Their magic artifacts and cultivation techniques naturally beca my spoils…”
Swipe!
This ti, without waiting for Ye Fan to finish, the leaders of the Alliance Army from the Five Great Alliances all turned pale!
Because…
They understood Ye Fan’s aning: Ye Fan intended to take a piece of the Ancient Heavenly Technique from the four ancient powers—the Ross family, the Huang Jin Family, the Elfa Tribe, and the Ancient Sky Alliance—as a reward!
They did not want their powers’ Ancient Heavenly Techniques to spread, as the Ancient Heavenly Technique is the foundation of a force’s strength and prosperity. Once leaked, it would be a fatal blow to that force.
Because cultivation techniques are the true foundation of a power’s strength. If soone thoroughly understands it, then that power would lose its ans to dominate the world!
At the sa ti, they desperately wanted to obtain other powers’ Ancient Heavenly Techniques. Even if not targeting that power, possessing another Ancient Heavenly Technique to cross-reference would surely be highly beneficial.
For a mont, almost all the attendees were tempted, except for Xu Changsheng, who showed no reaction and sat there like a statue, with an imnsely gloomy face.
Ye Fan’s move was indeed brilliantly executed. No force would want their Ancient Heavenly Technique leaked, and there was nothing he could say to regain these people’s hearts.
Even if the clan leaders of these families ca personally, they would not let their family’s Ancient Heavenly Technique fall into others’ hands.
Fortunately, the Xu family did not lose any Ancient Heavenly Techniques. Otherwise, Xu Changsheng would not know what to do.
However, while he could restrain his family’s mbers from participating, who knows if those who follow his family would be so obedient?
Xu Changsheng did not dare think further and simultaneously cursed Ye Fan inwardly. The unified front he painstakingly ford was easily dissolved by him, which made him very unwilling.
But even if he was unwilling, it was of no use; matters seed to have reached an irretrievable point.
“Everyone, go prepare. We cannot always passively wait for the mutant beasts to attack the city. We must take advantage before they gather to divide and conquer, striking them down individually.”
Ye Fan coldly observed, knowing from these people’s expressions that they were moved. Having achieved his goal, he did not waste words, waved his hand, and said: “Set out in a quarter of an hour. Each family is responsible for one area, ensuring no mutant beast is left behind. Dismissed!”
“Yes!”
In the next mont, aside from Xu Changsheng, everyone else stood up to take their orders, their voices firm and resonant.
“Xu Changsheng, didn’t you hear? Do you need to repeat myself??” Ye Fan squinted his eyes at Xu Changsheng and coldly asked.
“Yes… yes, Commander…”
Xu Changsheng’s face changed, but he finally gritted his teeth and stood up to receive the order.
Because…
He knew that from this mont on, Ye Fan’s position within the Alliance Army would be unshakeable!
