Chapter 828 - 531: Breaking the Deadlock (Part 2)

"Divinely prescient, that’s exactly it." Fei Yue’s tone seemed somewhat helpless from that side.

Lin Yue ended the call abruptly; the whole situation couldn’t be handled leisurely any longer.

"Indeed, I considered this possibility. Fei Yue, what specifically is the situation?" Lin Yue sat up and opened the system tablet, but what he saw made him unexpectedly astonished.

"Specific... What do you want to say after looking at the regional map?"

Lin Yue fell silent.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Lily Kalahao actually utilized our rapid expansion speed to recruit nearly ten percent more of the Refugee Village into her alliance, even controlling them, you could say? This person... is far superior to us."

Indeed.

The current situation is.

All human society, comprising millions of Refugee Villages of various sizes, had originally formed various alliances under different interests and situations.

Gradually, smaller Refugee Villages were absorbed by larger ones, and from there, even larger ones continued to expand non-stop.

And this rate wasn’t very fast before they took action.

But after taking action, every Refugee Village had more operations to conduct.

Fei Yue’s unification of the entire Desert also made Lily Kalahao feel threatened; simultaneously, this powerful human transformed such a crisis into an opportunity.

Fei Yue’s current actions created an excellent opportunity for Lily Kalahao to form the "Anti-Feiyue Alliance."

She didn’t even need to deploy troops to establish this territory that expanded thousands of times.

Yet, these Refugee Villages unwilling to be annexed by Fei Yue have become puppets of Lily Kalahao; trying to escape has become increasingly difficult, nearly impossible.

"Haha, now with our actions, we seem like the villains. I’ve instructed all my subordinates capable of contacting other Refugee Village leaders to do so; we can’t just sit and wait for death. Previously, I’d use superior forces and weapons to attack other Refugee Villages, now it’s reversed."

Fei Yue laughed as he spoke, treating the severe situation as if it hadn’t transpired.

But Lin Yue knew well this fool merely didn’t want the Refugee Village subordinates to worry.

"Fei Yue, our current situation is that if we continue attacking Jia Yunzhan, we’ll be directly engaging in combat dialogue with Lily Kalahao’s alliance, which holds a superiority tens to hundreds of times greater than ours; afterward, you’ll become ensnared in her combat quagmire, making future actions as difficult as ascending to the heavens." Lin Yue analyzed and felt the situation growing increasingly complex.

"Indeed, so this kid Jia Yunzhan is like Xing Lingfeng last time; no way to move now. We appear to be trapped here. I say, do you have any suggestions?" Fei Yue looked at the regional map, truly feeling the predicament.

The current situation doesn’t allow him to leisurely attack others’ Refugee Villages one by one.

"The solution is right in front of us, isn’t it? Fei Yue, you’re clearly dazed. You should listen more to the advice of your capable subordinates. I think others agree with my thoughts: breaking the predicament isn’t solely about waiting for Lily Kalahao to slowly grow strong while accumulating strength here. Another method exists: we don’t have to clash with her directly, because in the world, there are still nine tenths of Refugee Villages unaligned with her, aren’t there?"

Fei Yue suddenly realized: "Yes, yes! You Siyuan had mentioned a similar solution before; I couldn’t decide, so I came to you. Now that I think about it... indeed, I’m not facing a singular rival; there are so many neutral Refugee Villages still."

"Exactly, Fei Yue, since Jia Yunzhan can’t be attacked, don’t stubbornly insist on directly fighting Lily Kalahao. Continue attacking other Refugee Villages; let’s see who’s faster, you or Lily Kalahao."

Lin Yue considered that this might represent an opportunity.

At present, people in the various Refugee Villages choosing sides is actually advantageous.

This proves that they’ve acknowledged the strengths of Fei Yue and Lily Kalahao.

On the world leaderboard, besides Lin Yue himself, the second and third ranks, Lily Kalahao and Fei Yue, have already surpassed others significantly.

And their positions have also attracted the attention of many other Refugee Villages; as for Fei Yue’s rampant expansion, it has further complicated this situation.

Of course, Lily Kalahao’s actions today have intensified this state of affairs.

The current situation is, many Refugee Villages are not so bold; many are, in fact, fence-sitters, which is one of the main reasons Fei Yue has been able to expand his influence so swiftly.

"Haha, hearing you now makes me think this isn’t really a crisis; rather, it’s an opportunity! You’re quite extraordinary, Lin Yue." Fei Yue praised again, contemplating that Lin Yue always explores ways to break free from adversity, believing that all crises are opportunities.

Indeed, he had ten out of eleven chances to move quickly, preventing Lily Kalahao from having much of an opportunity!

Moreover, he possessed stronger and more powerful subordinates and Lin Yue as a support; there was nothing frightening at all.

"Glad you understand. You should know what to do tomorrow, right? Even if Jia Yunzhan joins Lily Kalahao’s camp, it doesn’t matter; if you gradually swallow all the Refugee Villages near his, after prolonged isolation, he won’t be able to maintain, while Lily Kalahao can’t perpetually devote resources and promises to supply a lone island; sooner or later, he’ll come seeking your forgiveness obediently. So Fei Yue, now is the perfect opportunity, arguably the best chance. What we want is for Lily Kalahao to react; you, the big catfish, have stirred enough to provoke that fox—and that’s sufficient."

"Got it! Lin Yue, if you were my leader, I’d be able to conquer a hundred Refugee Villages in one day. Unfortunately, you’re all focused on yourself; I don’t know how to comment on that... Wait, now you’re a little King yourself, where those horned, centaur-like races report no disturbance to the Refugee Villages. You really are impressive!"

"Surprises await ahead, Fei Yue. We must eliminate those lurking behind the scenes and return to Earth, where both the Divine Horn Race and Wolf-headed Man share similar intentions. After unifying everything uniteable, what we have to do will be more extensive than now. Fei Yue, I’ll have a look in the Secret Realm tomorrow, and handing over the Otherworld to you."

"Leave it to me; don’t worry, though I’m slow-witted, I’m reliable in task execution."

Fei Yue said this and ended the call.

All subordinates also found renewed confidence in the strategy and ideas Lin Yue conveyed.

"Hey boss, don’t you see, you think you’re close, but Lin Yue is way ahead of you?" You Siyuan jabbed Fei Yue playfully, "Still lots to learn!"

"Hey, you brat, only you ever disrespect me! But as you said, I’ve much to learn and accomplish, can’t always ponder ’what to do, what to do,’ instead, like Lin Yue, find breakthrough strategies in such ’what-to-do’ scenarios... Oh right, the Lizardman’s main chamber isn’t far; everyone, prepare for combat!"

Ahead, the hefty wooden door was suddenly pushed open,

inside the torchlight, a waft of foul stench permeated the air.

Fei Yue wielded a large shield, advanced, and shot a signal flare into the space.

In the white light, the group waited and then entered.

They suddenly discovered countless Lizardman corpses here!

"What on Earth happened?" Fei Yue placed numerous torches along the walls, brightening the entire large room.

Yet amidst the corpses, Fei Yue suddenly noticed a human.

"Xing Lingfeng?" He recognized him, it was precisely Xing Lingfeng!

Back then, they had allied together to support Lin Yue’s Shelter, and multiple transactions had occurred; there was no mistake.

"Indeed, it’s that old fellow!" You Siyuan approached, couldn’t help but exclaim.

It really was Xing Lingfeng, who else could it be?

And what’s more, he was alive!
