The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Grandmaster Wind Trace excels in speed, as does Howling Moon Wolf, and Howling Moon Wolf's speed is even greater than Grandmaster Wind Trace's!

Their advantage was countered, and the outcome was predictable.

For a moment, the conference room fell silent.

Before the war even began, humanity had already lost a Grandmaster.

"What are your thoughts, everyone?"

After a moment, Song Tianming asked a question, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

The group exchanged glances and began to express their opinions.

First, there's the question of whether this beast tide is real or not. Although the images sent by Grandmaster Fenghen were very short, they did capture a large number of gathered demonic beasts, and Grandmaster Fenghen may very well have already died in battle.

Therefore, it can be basically confirmed that the beast tide in the north does exist.

The question now is, just how big is this beast tide?

Only by confirming this can we formulate appropriate strategies and decide how many troops to deploy.

After all, the eastern side has already engaged in battle with the beast tide, and the military strength of Chongming Base City is currently very strained.

This is also the point of contention among the public.

Some people share Lu Yuan's view that the north is the monsters' real target, and that the attack on Dongzhenwei City is just a feint to tie down the troops in Chongming Base City.

However, many others hold the opposite view, for a simple reason: the number of demonic beasts in Dongzhen City is already quite large. How could so many demonic beasts be merely bait?

The probability of a beast tide of this scale is extremely small.

Due to a lack of conclusive evidence, the meeting room was filled with heated debate.

"That's enough!"

Lu Yuan sat there watching these people argue, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up in anger.

"A catastrophe is imminent, concerning the safety of hundreds of millions of people in Chongming Base City, and you still have the nerve to spout nonsense!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, everyone paused, turned to look at Lu Yuan, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on their lips.

Given Lu Yuan's status, he wouldn't have been qualified to attend this meeting if he hadn't been the one who discovered the beast tide.

Instead of listening attentively to these bigwigs' discussion, he even dared to slam his fist on the table. He really didn't know his place.

"Lu Yuan! Watch your attitude."

Song Tianming gave a stern rebuke, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Troop deployment is not child's play; it must be approached with caution. Acting rashly and hastily would be irresponsible towards Chongming Base City!"

"I swear on my life! Everything I'm saying is true; the north is the main direction of the monsters' attack!"

"Your life?"

The crowd snorted softly, their faces showing disdain once again.

In their eyes, Lu Yuan's life was worthless!

"Alright, we don't need you to provide any more information here. You can leave now."

Song Tianming raised his hand and said directly.

Lu Yuan frowned, sighed helplessly, and turned to leave.

But Lu Yuan did not leave; instead, he waited outside the conference room.

It wasn't until an hour later that Song Tianming and the others came out. They ignored Lu Yuan, who was waiting there, and left directly.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to chase after him to ask, but he was stopped by the guards.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to force his way over, Li Chuanxiong appeared in time, offered a few words of comfort, and told him to wait for news in an office.

More than an hour later, Li Chuanxiong came in.

"How did it go?!"

Lu Yuan looked anxious and quickly got up to greet him.

"The city lord and the others have made their decision."

Li Chuanxiong, however, remained unhurried and only spoke after sitting down.

"Draw a portion of the troops to the Northern Wilderness to guard against a possible beast tide."

"A portion? Possibly?"

Upon hearing Li Chuanxiong's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

Immediately afterwards, he inquired about the specific troop deployment from Li Chuanxiong.

"idiot!"

After listening, Lu Yuan was furious and cursed loudly.

"Cough cough."

Li Chuanxiong coughed twice, turned his face away, and pretended not to hear.

"They're all a bunch of idiots!"

Lu Yuan ignored all of that and continued to hurl insults.

According to Li Chuanxiong, the official decision was ultimately to only allocate 20% of the troops to the Northern Wilderness.

Most of the troops remained in Dongzhen City to deal with the existing monsters.

According to them, it's still unknown whether or not monsters will appear in the Northern Wilderness, and how many will appear. Deploying 20% ​​of their forces now will allow them to hold off any potential beast tides, and it won't be too late to redeploy more troops later.

But Lu Yuan knew that the beast tide in the Northern Wilderness was no small matter. Even if he deployed all the troops from Chongming Base City, let alone 20% of his forces, he might not be able to stop it.

Deploying these two-tenths of the troops at this point is simply a foolish piecemeal tactic!

Once the beast tide arrives, not only will it fail to stop it in any way, but it will also be swallowed up by the beast tide, resulting in the needless sacrifice of 20% of the troops.

"I'm going to find them!"

Frustrated, Lu Yuan turned to leave.

He had to warn those fools about such a stupid strategy.

"Stop right there."

But before he even reached the door, Li Chuanxiong stopped him, shaking his head with a serious expression.

"Who do you think you are? Once they've made a decision, they won't easily change it, otherwise how can they maintain their authority? Now that things have come to this, unless a beast tide of the scale you described arrives, their decision will not change."

"Don't they care about the bases and strongholds in the Northern Wilderness, or the safety of hundreds of millions of people in Chongming Base City?"

"Human life is worthless, and the lives of ordinary people are not even worth as much as grass. These are never factors they consider."

"屮!"

Lu Yuan grew even angrier and cursed again.

But then, all he could do was sigh.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately left the city lord's mansion and returned directly to the Northern Wilderness.

With the authorities indecisive, he still has to rely on himself!

"How is it?"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan return to the base, Xia Banzhu immediately inquired.

Lu Yuan, with a gloomy face, recounted the situation.

"Those bastards!"

After listening, Xia Banzhu was also filled with anger.

But then he sighed, just like Lu Yuan, there was nothing he could do for the time being.

Lu Yuan didn't say much, and immediately went into the communications room and opened the Northern Wilderness group.

This is another group besides the large group and the small group. In addition to Lu Yuan, it consists of the heads of the seven major groups in the Northern Wilderness, as well as Meng Xuanwu and other young people.

There were only fifteen of them, no officials, and their purpose was to discuss how to deal with the beast tide.

[Lu Yuan: How are things going for each of you?]

To get straight to the point, Lu Yuan asked a question directly.

With the government offering little support, they have to rely on themselves. They had previously discussed seeking assistance from various headquarters.

After all, with the current manpower and strength of the Northern Wilderness, it is almost impossible to deal with this beast tide.

[Ye Hongyun: Not so good. The family isn't planning to send any more people.]

[Shaoyang City: It's the same here.]

[Dong Pengfei: Damn it! Those bastards at the top want us to fend for ourselves!]

Everyone spoke up, but the result was the same.

The seven major martial arts groups are also not planning to send additional troops!
