"Third, we could disperse and flee as if we had already been defeated. But by doing so, we would face not only the pursuit of humans from the Foolish Underworld but also the terrifying punishnt from the Great Demons above! It's unlikely that we could stay in Tianyuan Town any longer."
Demons excel in lurking unseen, but that is with respect to humans.
Within demon society, the high-ranking demons are well aware of where the lower ranks are hiding.
When two armies clash, failing to fight before fleeing has an obvious and grim outco.
Each of the three strategies has its pros and cons.
The first strategy, although it ans cowering, also has a certain chance of seeing us through the crisis unhard.
The second strategy, while proactive, faces the problem that the Foolish Underworld has co prepared.
To talk of laying traps, who can confidently claim they can capture these elite forces from the Foolish Underworld in the face of absolute power?
The third strategy, although we would face pursuit from both sides, by dispersing into smaller groups, and with our numbers, if we can run faster than our peers, we might still have a slim chance to survive.
All the demons present obviously showed hesitation.
They wavered among the three strategies, none daring to guarantee which one was the absolute right choice.
Suddenly, Bie Huzi, with Rong Qiulu and Bo Ange in tow, knelt down in unison before Fang Yu.
"Lord Blood Demon, please make a decision. No matter which strategy you choose, we are willing to follow Lord Blood Demon to the death!"
Bie Huzi was sowhat perceptive.
Having mixed with humans for so long, he had co to understand sothing.
Usually, when an upper demon offers choices, they already have a preferred answer in mind.
What's lacking is just an opportunity for soone to voice that answer.
With Bie Huzi, a senior official, taking a stand, so keen Little Demons, as well as Bie Huzi's subordinates, began kneeling as well.
"We swear to follow Lord Blood Demon to the death!"
"Please lead us out of this predicant, Lord Blood Demon!"
Under the oppressive circumstances, with the deaths of several demons and the perilous situation outside, most of the demons weren't very sharp-witted.
Seeing soone suggest an 'answer,' they chose to follow along.
"Please decide on a strategy, Lord Blood Demon! We will cooperate fully!"
"We will heed all arrangents by Lord Blood Demon!"
"Lord Blood Demon, we entrust our lives to you!"
In an instant, more than half of the demons in the inn knelt down, and upon seeing this, the others who dared not stay standing quickly followed suit.
After all, they were Fang Yu's subordinates to begin with, so following Fang Yu's arrangents was only natural.
Very good.
Turning around, with his back to all Demons, the corners of Fang Yu's mouth were already slightly raised.
Although he didn't frequently interact with Bie Huzi, this subordinate taken over from Brother Qing was not being cultivated in vain.
Promoting him to a minor leader, he was finally proving useful.
After a slight pondering, Fang Yu closed his eyes, pretending to think.
The demons present imdiately followed suit, holding their breath.
They were waiting for Fang Yu to give them direction, and this direction would decide all their subsequent actions, including life and death!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
It seed that only the sound of the demons' hearts beating could be heard at the scene.
It was at this mont that Fang Yu turned to face everyone, suddenly opened his eyes, and voiced the choice he had already made up in his heart.
"To be honest, I was wavering between the first and third plan. But seeing everyone's trust in , and our unity, it has led to make a decision!"
"I've decided... to implent the second strategy!"
"We will... take the initiative to strike and kill this batch of fools from the Underworld!"
"Indeed, we aim to eliminate the Underworld's team, but we can't just act recklessly. Apart from the ambushes and traps that I've ntioned before, we also need to join forces with other demon factions. I believe the demons around us are also aware of these crazed acts of the Foolish Underworld, and they are living in fear as well!"
"By proposing an alliance now, we can stabilize their emotions and add to our combat power."
"I believe the team sent by the Underworld won't be too strong! After all, they're only targeting us demon factions. The deaths of Lord Red Moon Demon and Corrosive Heart Demon were only due to the sudden attacks of the Underworld when they fought independently on their turf!"
"If we demons band together, united as one, not to ntion just this Underworld team, even if the experts from Yangshen Hall co, they will have to weigh their options!"
These words stirred the emotions of all the demons present.
They really believed Fang Yu's bluff.
Thinking that a mob of united demons could stand against the experts of Yangshen Hall.
Honestly, even Fang Yu himself didn't believe it.
The deeper his understanding, the clearer he knew how ridiculously powerful the high-end forces of the Third Hall were, and that they couldn't be overco by simply piling up the numbers of lesser demons.
Of course, this operation by the Underworld to sweep through was originally intended to enhance his position among the demons, so that's another story.
"It's feasible!"
Suddenly, a demon among the crowd shouted.
"That's right! By uniting with other demons, standing together against the Underworld is not out of the question!"
"Let the forces of the Underworld witness the unity of us demons!"
"Return and fight! Avenge Lord Red Moon Demon! Avenge our demon comrades!!"
"Roar!!"
Originally, so demons felt a sinking feeling when they heard Fang Yu suggest taking the initiative to strike.
But as Fang Yu spoke calmly,
Not a reckless attack, but again uniting with other demons, and setting traps, analyzing the strength of the opposition, it all suddenly seed viable.
