The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Chapter 438 Discussion

As a powerful formation, the Eight Trigrams Formation not only has defensive functions, but also, like other battle formations, has a variety of formations, such as illusion formations to trap people and killing formations to kill enemies!

The army is indeed strong, but it has a fatal flaw: it relies too much on the collective. Once these soldiers are separated, they are nothing more than ordinary, low-level martial artists.

This is like the difference between a block of concrete and a pile of loose sand.

Once in formation, the army becomes like a single entity, and under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to separate them.

However, the illusionary formation of the Eight Trigrams Formation can be used.

The illusion array targets a single individual.

Once inside, everyone was trapped in an illusion, believing they had been separated from their comrades and could no longer sense each other. The connection was broken, and the military formation naturally collapsed.

Once the army formation is broken, Yagami can then take control of each unit.

Thus, these thousand gear soldiers quickly became the strength of the North Kan base.

Of course, even if a military formation is barely formed through mental manipulation, its power is far less than before.

But it doesn't matter.

After all, the North Kan base didn't really intend to use these thousand gear soldiers to kill the enemy.

"Commander-in-Chief, what should we do?"

In the operations room, everyone had a furrowed brow.

The so-called fierce battle is one where you kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own. But now, it's one where you kill a thousand of your own but lose eight hundred of your own. It turns out they're all on our side.

It has to be said, this move by the North Kan base was incredibly underhanded.

If a battle were to break out, the thousand-strong Gear Army under control would certainly be lost, and many more warriors would be lost as well. The combined losses from both events would be a headache to think about.

Moreover, even if they win, the Beikan base can simply activate its protective shield and return to square one, meaning Tianjing Group will lose thousands of people for nothing.

To put it bluntly, these thousand gear soldiers are now hostages of the North Kan base.

"Do you have any ideas?"

The old man pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked a question.

Everyone was taken aback, their faces showing difficulty. What ideas could they possibly have in this situation?

Unless someone can break the beast's mental control over this thousand-gear army, but mental control is simply not a field for martial artists.

"Commander, maybe we should stop fighting."

After a long silence, one of the old man's confidants spoke up.

Even if we attack, we might not be able to take down the North Kan base; judging from the current situation, it's highly unlikely. After all, the North Kan base hasn't lost a single soldier so far.

Even though the mission would fail and Tianjing Group would lose face, and these people would all have to bear some responsibility if they didn't fight, it would still be better than suffering a crushing defeat later.

To put it bluntly, given the current situation, cutting losses is the wisest choice.

"..."

The old man frowned, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the operations room was frighteningly low.

After a long while, the old man suddenly loosened his fist and let out a long, helpless sigh.

"Then let's not fight."

Within the Tianjing Group, this attack on the Beikan base was seen as a golden opportunity to make a name for themselves!

The Beikan base is a lucrative target, and with the strength of the Tianjing Group, taking it over would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, there was fierce competition within the Tianjing Group for this mission, and the old man used a lot of resources and connections to snatch this "lucrative job".

But to my utter surprise, this is how it ended.

Despite his annoyance, the old man was a seasoned veteran and had not let it cloud his judgment.

Given the current situation, cutting losses is the wisest choice.

"But if we stop fighting, what will happen to those thousand gear-wielding soldiers?"

At this moment, someone else spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the group, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, frowned again.

Yes.

They could choose not to fight, but those thousand Gear Army soldiers were already under the control of the North Canal base.

If we don't fight, how can we get them back?

Should we just give up?

This is a thousand Gear Army soldiers, half of the nominal total number of Tianjing Group's army. If they are wiped out here, it would be a significant responsibility.

"talk!"

The old man took a deep breath and squeezed out a single word through his teeth.

That's right.

We can talk!

Since the North Kan base has proactively deployed its thousand-strong geared army instead of immediately engaging in combat, it must mean they intend to negotiate.

Although the Beikan base has the upper hand for the time being, if it really angers the Tianjing Group, they certainly won't be able to withstand it.

Therefore, for the North Kan base, negotiation is the best option.

"Go and talk to them."

The old man looked around and finally pointed to one of his trusted confidants.

This person's cultivation level is average, but he is eloquent and quick-witted, and is actually a kind of advisor to the elder.

"Yes."

The trusted aide had already guessed that this task would fall to him, and without saying anything more, he immediately agreed.

Since it was a combat command center, this temporary operations room was actually not far from the North Kan base.

That is, about two hours later, when it was getting dark, the trusted confidant arrived at the front line.

Then, I saw him enter the North Kan base.

"They're inside."

Seeing this, everyone in the Tianjing Group's operations room breathed a sigh of relief.

Since they let their people in, it means the other party is willing to talk.

As long as you're willing to talk, everything is negotiable.

Then, after waiting for more than two hours, the trusted confidant finally came out of the North Kan base.

Instead of returning to the operations room, they called directly.

"How is it!"

"They only have one request."

"One request?"

The old man frowned. Since there was only one, it must be extremely demanding.

"What are your requirements?"

"Tianjing Group must never invade this base."

"hateful!"

The old man's lips twitched, and he angrily hung up the phone.

This requirement seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.

Everyone knows that the Beikan base is a lucrative target, and agreeing to this request means that Tianjing Group can no longer touch it.

Not making a profit is the same as losing money.

This is the mindset of the vast majority of people.

How could Tianjing Group possibly accept this?

Of course, whether Tianjing Group was willing or not was irrelevant to the old man. This request itself did not cause him any loss.

But the problem is, how can he convince Tianjing Group to agree to this request?

He'll probably have to use a lot of resources to get this done.

However, if he doesn't agree, the loss of a thousand cog soldiers will result in punishment from the group, which will also be a significant loss for him.

Previously, the priority was to cut losses in time; now, it has become a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

It's so painful.

Inside the operations room, everyone looked at each other, exchanging glances.

This request is difficult for the elderly, but it does them no harm at all.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

Just then, a man suddenly burst into the operations room.

"Our base has been attacked!"

"What?!"

The old man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly asked a question.

"What's going on! Who dares to attack our base?!"

"It's a demonic beast, a giant armored bear, of extremely high level."

"A giant... armored bear..."
