Chapter 499 - 87 - I Give You the Right to Choose (Part 3)_1

Upon seeing this, Wen Yu sighed and continued.

"So, next, let’s discuss how to break out from here!"

After speaking, Wen Yu rhythmically tapped his finger on the table, as if contemplating how to begin. After a while, he finally spoke.

"Firstly, Claus and Victor, you two must understand that there is absolutely no way to hang onto this territory in Las Vegas!"

When Wen Yu finished speaking, Claus and Victor immediately lifted their heads, their eyes slightly bewildered and confused as they looked at Wen Yu. Then, they slowly lowered their heads, falling silent without uttering a word.

This man and cat duo were smart. Setting aside whether Las Vegas could be defended without Wen Yu, they needed to acknowledge one simple fact!

Almost thirty percent of the Demon Tribe’s forces deployed in the American Continent had targeted Las Vegas. Can you imagine just how large that number would be?

The number of demons they had killed or who had appeared within the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier was barely the tip of the iceberg, barely a drop in the ocean. Moreover, the Demon Realm’s Gate had a formidable troop transportation capacity. If they couldn’t take Las Vegas, they would keep attacking—they had plenty of cannon fodder. Maybe the Demon Tribe was even perplexed about how to feed all those cannon fodder races in the Demon Realm!

Unfortunately, humans and mutant beasts get tired...

Plus, they’re short on manpower and weapons...

The fall of Las Vegas has already become a foregone conclusion!

The four people and one cat present fell silent for a while before Claus heavily sighed.

"Ah..."

"Since Las Vegas can’t be defended, let’s not defend it..."

This decision was tough for Claus. It was likely difficult for anyone who grew up in Las Vegas to abandon it.

After all, leaving one’s homeland is hard...

Luckily, Claus was rational, possessed a broader perspective, and could be considered a qualified leader.

Victor then said, "We don’t mind where we are, but can the remaining professionists and mutant beasts be evacuated?"

Wen Yu gently shook his head.

"Only some of them can be evacuated..."

"Before that, let’s talk about how to break the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier."

"The barrier we are currently in is called the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier. You should already have some understanding of its general effects, so I won’t elaborate further."

"As a super war weapon developed by the Demon Tribe, the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier’s internal defensive capabilities are quite formidable. Let me put it this way: even if my power increased tenfold, I still couldn’t forcibly breach its defenses. Therefore, a brute-force breakthrough is impossible."

"But you have other methods, right?" Victor immediately asked.

Wen Yu shrugged.

"If I had no other methods, I wouldn’t have walked in here to die."

"The Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier actually has a core control center. This center is responsible for regulating the entire Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier’s ratio of defensive energy to production energy. It also functions as the barrier’s on-off switch. Furthermore, this core control center is located *within* the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier!"

Wen Yu finished speaking and paused, looking at everyone present.

"With what I’ve said so far, you already know what the solution is, right?"

"Once we destroy this control center, we can get out!"

Upon hearing Wen Yu state it so simply, Victor immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This doesn’t seem too difficult,

Victor thought.

Then, he said with a resounding voice.

"Then let’s go and smash it!"

"That’s the tricky part—I have no idea where this control center is!"

"The carrier of the core control center is a special operative specifically cultivated by the Demon Tribe. According to my intelligence, this operative is named Mara. He is an Ancient Demon and also one of the chief commanding officers of the Demon Tribe’s American forerider troops. His individual strength is at Peak Level 5!"

"Of course, that’s not important. A Peak Level 5 Ancient Demon—I’m confident I can take him down."

"However, the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier is a rare strategic weapon of the Demon Tribe. Consequently, when selecting the carrier of its core control, while other factors are secondary, the ability to conceal oneself and ensure self-preservation is paramount."

"Based on the intelligence I gathered from the outside, Mara possesses at least the abilities of invisibility, aura concealment, and creating a Secondary Space (similar to the Netherworld). Under such circumstances, if Mara decides to hide, it’s extremely difficult for anyone to track him down!"

"In other words, this core control center could appear anywhere within the range of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier, and there’s a high probability it’s hidden in a specific Secondary Space within this area."

Upon hearing Wen Yu’s words, looks of despair instantly clouded everyone’s faces.

A foe that could become invisible, hide their aura, and even retreat into a Secondary Space, determined to play hide-and-seek with you within the vast confines of the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier—this game was hardly enjoyable. Furthermore, for the human side, the odds of victory were depressingly slim...

"Before I came in, I already formulated two battle plans!"

"You can all listen, and I will leave the decision of which of these two plans to use to you."

"What plan?"

Upon hearing Claus’s question, Wen Yu didn’t beat around the bush and answered directly.

"Plan one: Hold the fort. This plan is somewhat passive, essentially meaning we’d be taking a beating. Victor will use the Netherworld to transport non-combatants into it. Then, everything will proceed as you’ve done before. The difference is, this time, I will handle the high-end battlefield threats. We’ll engage the Demon Tribe in a war of attrition, fighting until they truly feel the cost."
