Chapter 358

Yun Li: "I feel that it would be most appropriate to temporarily suspend the Aurum Alley's Wardance ceremony, don't you think?"

Yun Li: "Otherwise, if some accident truly occurs, it will be too late to remedy it."

Stelle: "Stay calm. I think the three Generals all seem to have a plan in mind."

Stelle: "I suspect they have already figured it out."

Dan Heng: "Hoolay is very strong, but to the current Luofu, his threat is far less than that of Phantylia before."

March 7th: "That's because Hoolay only wants to escape right now."

March 7th: "But Phantylia was there to cause destruction for real!"

Paimon: "Uh... if... I mean, if!"

Paimon: "If we let Hoolay escape, wouldn't he stop causing trouble?"

Miss Qingque: "Miss Paimon, do you mean to intentionally let Hoolay escape the Luofu so he won't threaten the upcoming Wardance ceremony?"

Miss Qingque: "Hmm, theoretically speaking, that is the case."

Miss Qingque: "But the problem is, doing so is no different from letting a tiger return to the mountains; it will bring endless trouble to the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance."

Paimon: "Hehe, I was just saying. I know that method won't work."

Paimon: "Given how dangerous Hoolay is, even if we cancel the Wardance, we still have to catch him and bring him back, right?"

Paimon: "Otherwise, once he returns, the Borisin will grow strong again."

Lumine: "Once the Borisin grow strong, it is foreseeable that countless innocent lives will die at the hands of these abominable beasts."

Hearing Yanqing: "Therefore, no matter what, we cannot let Hoolay escape!"

The video continues.

[Yun Li, how should we handle the current situation?]

Hearing Yun Li's words,

General Huaiyan could not help but ask in return.

[Of course, it is... well, we should certainly declare martial law and commit manpower to the search efforts.]

[As for the Wardance ceremony, we should announce an indefinite delay.]

Yun Li voiced her thoughts.

[You have suggested a foolproof method.]

[It is a pity that the more ideal a plan is, the harder it is to implement.]

[In my view, there are at least two groups of people who will not accept your method.]

General Huaiyan smiled and shook his head.

[Uh... which two groups?]

March 7th was somewhat curious.

[The first is the many merchants and tourists who came for the Wardance ceremony.]

[Declaring martial law is equivalent to publicly stating that the Luofu is not safe. How do you think outsiders will react?]

[Naturally, there will be panic and chaos.]

[The second is the staff of the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou's six commissions.]

[The manpower and material resources spent preparing for the Wardance are already countless. If it is suddenly suspended and indefinitely postponed now, I fear the internal organization will be unable to bear the series of changes.]

[Of course, it is not as if no one agrees with your method.]

General Huaiyan completely denied Yun Li's plan,

but then his tone suddenly shifted.

[...R-really?]

Yun Li looked at General Huaiyan with some anticipation.

[Hmm, the mastermind behind this prison break incident would surely raise both hands in favor of your view.]

Yun Li: "......"

Yun Li: "Grandfather, are you mocking me for being stupid?"

General Huaiyan: "Ahahaha, silly child, I have no intention of mocking you."

Stelle: "Silly child? General General Huaiyan is intentionally mocking Yun Li!"

March 7th: "Uh... but I think Miss Yun Li's plan has no problems?"

March 7th: "If it were me, I would have to do the same..."

Jing Yuan: "Indeed, cautious people might all do that."

Jing Yuan: "But have you ever thought about it?"

Jing Yuan: "Doing so would play right into certain people's hands!"

Jing Yuan: "Once the Luofu is under martial law and panic sets in, chaos will arise from it."

Jing Yuan: "At that time, Hoolay will be able to seize more opportunities to escape!"

Jing Yuan: "Conversely, if we do not do this, Hoolay will always remain in a passive position."

Jing Yuan: "Unable to judge the situation, he will be indecisive and hesitate to move forward."

Jing Yuan: "As time passes, he will become anxious and reveal his flaws!"

Mualani: "I get it, this is psychological warfare, right?"

Mualani: "As expected of a General, his thinking is so comprehensive!"

Furina: "In other words, the Luofu must maintain the status quo right now, as if nothing happened?"

General Huaiyan: "Exactly!"

General Huaiyan: "Of course, there is also huge risk in this."

General Huaiyan: "Once Hoolay cannot help but go on a rampage, there could be heavy casualties on the Luofu."

General Huaiyan: "And that depends on whether General General Feixiao, the hunter, is swift enough in her actions!"

The video continues.

[Hoolay escaped his cage during a visit, and you and Hearing Yanqing discovered Borisin spies at Scalegorge Waterscape...]

[If one says there is no one pulling the strings behind this, I fear even a newborn baby would not believe it.]

[The fugitive is just a pawn. The hand that plays the game wants to see a chaotic situation where everyone on the Luofu is suspicious and fearful of one another.]

[Declaring martial law and postponing the Wardance would play right into the opponent's hands, bringing the fear Hoolay brings to the forefront prematurely.]

General Huaiyan continued to explain for a few moments,

allowing them to clearly understand the current situation.

[...Then what should we do!]

Yun Li was somewhat at a loss.

[The search efforts must certainly be carried out, but everything on the Luofu must remain as usual, or at least appear as usual.]

Lumine: "Almost forgot, behind Hoolay's escape is the manipulation of that Lord Ravager, Phantylia."

Lumine: "That Lord Ravager is waiting for the Luofu to fall into chaos right now!"

Paimon: "No wonder these Borisin transformed into Foxians. This was intentional by that Lord Ravager, right?"

Paimon: "If the Luofu announces now that there are Borisin hiding as Foxians,"

Paimon: "then imagine, all Foxians will become objects of suspicion and be alienated by fear."

Paimon: "Even between Foxians, there will definitely be rifts!"

Hu Tao: "If it really comes to that, the entire Luofu will indeed be in danger!"

Hu Tao: "So, the Generals' considerations are comprehensive; we cannot let this matter leak out!"

Hu Tao: "Otherwise, the Luofu will likely descend into total chaos!"

Miss Sushang: "Truly terrifying. If I received this news, I would have to suspect my Foxian colleagues, fearing they might be Borisin in disguise."

Miss Sushang: "By then, even within the Cloud Knights, there would be mutual suspicion."

Miss Sushang: "That would be the biggest trouble!"
