Chapter 2889

The conference room held nearly a hundred people.

But the key figures had all arrived.

At that moment, the cruel noble duke Fat Baldy Wang Xiao said: "Alright, since everyone's here, please take your seats. Let's begin the meeting."

The burly female noble queen Jin Xin waved her hand, and suddenly a strange change occurred.

Zhao Chi didn't know what the change was.

But as soon as Jin Xin spoke, Zhao Chi sensed it.

"Good, then let's begin. Since everyone is here, it's to resolve the werewolf crisis—hope no one brings up past grudges during the discussion. Any objections?"

Her voice reached Zhao Chi's ears with perfect clarity.

And it wasn't harsh—like some sound-amplifying effect had been applied.

He guessed she'd just waved her hand to enhance this change.

All the lords affirmed there were no objections.

Zhao Quan smiled: "Today, all five commanders of the Break the World Army are here, all five commanders of allied forces have arrived, and we nobles have sent four representatives. Everyone takes this meeting seriously. Let me start with our first agenda—situation. How's that?"

"No problem!"

Jiang Yang sighed loudly: "From what I've heard, the Break the World Army in Bai Cao City got slaughtered—lost all their territories, thousands of lords killed, and the remaining lords are trapped there. Isn't the Break the World Army supposed to be strong? Is this true?"

Tan Qiming, the skull-faced Iron Blood Legion commander, growled hoarsely: "All the nobles of Bai Cao City surrendered, so the battle collapsed. Is that hard to understand? If you won't talk properly, get out."

"Oh come on, don't be so aggressive."

Jiang Yang smiled: "I'm just verifying the accuracy of the information. Only with full knowledge can we make better plans and discussions."

Ying Zhi, the pale-faced commander of the Xuanwu Legion, smiled: "Correct. The Break the World Army in Bai Cao City needs reinforcements, but we've already decided to resolve the Snow Plain City issue first. No need for you to worry, Commander Jiang. According to our informants, about two werewolf regiments will arrive there within a week. Does anyone have information to confirm this?"

The silver-armored noble Gong Sun Po said: "Similar to what I've heard, but I've been told two werewolf task forces have already departed and will arrive in a week."

The burly woman Jin Xin nodded: "I've received similar reports—two werewolf regiments will reach Snow Plain City in a week, but the two werewolf task forces that have already left aren't heading here—they're going straight to Tian Feng City."

Everyone cross-verified their intelligence.

Details differed.

But two points could be confirmed.

Two werewolf task forces have already departed; they're expected to reach the vicinity of Snow Plain City in a week, but whether they're coming here remains unconfirmed.

Additionally, the werewolves indeed planned to send two regiments in one week, arriving around two weeks from now to reinforce the Snow Plain City werewolves.

But this was only a plan.

Whether they'll actually come, whether they'll arrive early or late, whether it's exactly two regiments, or more or fewer—none of this can be confirmed yet.

But we'll proceed with the estimate that two werewolf regiments will arrive in two weeks.

Zhao Quan said: "Good. We've now confirmed the current situation. Next, we decide how to respond. What are your thoughts?"

"It's simple."

The burly woman prince Jin Xin said: "There are only two options now. One: fight immediately. Our strength is currently matched with the werewolves. Though the central zone is deadlocked, the real focus is the southwestern outer front. If we win the outer front, we can encircle them and strike from both sides—then the central zone will naturally fall."

Many nodded.

Jin Xin continued: "The second option: wait. Because the news of two werewolf regiments coming is still just a plan—not confirmed, possibly even a deception. The werewolves might deliberately leak this to lure us into a decisive battle. If we strike first, we risk falling into their trap."

Zhao Chi's impression of Jin Xin shifted slightly.

This noblewoman looked like a burly female beastman—muscular, seemingly simple-minded.

But her mind was sharp.

Indeed, one cannot judge a person by appearance.

Jin Xin concluded: "So I suggest we wait a week, see if those two regiments actually depart, then decide. Don't rush now!"

Dian Yun, the 35-year-old man with a ponytail and commander of the Absolute Ground Legion, nodded: "Prince Jin Xin's analysis makes sense. But what if the news of the two werewolf regiments is the deception—and the two werewolf task forces are the real reinforcements?"

Everyone fell into thought.

Dian Yun continued: "Right now, both the central zone and the outer front are evenly matched. If two werewolf task forces arrive now, the balance will shatter instantly. Could these two task forces be the werewolves' true objective?"

"Makes sense!"

Jiang Yang agreed: "I think so too."

Zhang Qiming, the red-headband commander of the Taiping Legion, said: "Regarding this point, I can add some information."
