Chapter 2734: Defeat Before Battle

The tactic devised by several deputy leaders is as simple and straightforward as can be.

These legion leaders, who have followed Kui Shan through countless battles, could tell at a glance that defeat was certain, and this immediately strengthened their resolve not to send troops without Kui Shan leading them.

Once they had made their decision, all the various armies returned to prepare.

Only the leaders of the five elite troops legions gathered together, went to Kui Shan's command tent, and asked Kui Shan to lead them.

"Alas, in my present situation, I can barely protect myself."

"The enemy used a scheme to sow discord; the dynasty doesn't trust me and won't give me command authority."

Kui Shan sighed: "I can only advise you to adapt to circumstances; if you can't win, run quickly and preserve your strength as much as possible!"

"If you don't lead us, we don't want to go to war."

"Because following the plan devised by those few people, we are sure to lose," a leader said to Kui Shan.

Kui Shan quickly waved his hand, not letting him continue.

He didn't want to hear their battle plan, lest he get implicated.

He merely said: "I'm just analyzing according to the actual conditions; no matter how you fight, you have no chance of winning."

I also don't want to dampen your morale.

But since you've come to ask me, that's what I say.

You also don't need to hold troops in defiance.

Whether to go to war or not, your say doesn't count.

On the contrary, by forcing me out, you're actually harming me, making me take the blame for this defeat.

After the war, I too am surely doomed to die!

Upon hearing this, the five leaders also felt deflated.

"Could it be that we have no chance at all?"

One of the leaders, unwilling to accept, asked.

Kui Shan gave a bitter smile and countered: "You've also seen their strength before."

"They now have 1.5 million elite troops alone, not counting ordinary soldiers."

"Adding the mobile demon race army, those are all soldiers who are experts of the Zhuanzai Jingjie."

"Plus equipment, resources, morale, and command— in what way are we not weaker?"

"Such large-scale legion warfare is unlike small units conducting guerrilla attacks, where ambushes are still possible."

"You too have been leaders for many years; if you were in command, what could you do to deal with them?"

After Kui Shan finished speaking, those few people were completely at a loss for words.

Subsequently, a leader consulted Kui Shan for advice: "Then what should we do?"

"Just go straight to our deaths?"

Kui Shan didn't explicitly tell them to surrender, merely saying: "Under the current circumstances, if you don't mobilize troops, it's tantamount to holding troops in self-defense, and you'll be punished by military law."

"If you mobilize troops, you'll die in battle! I'm now powerless, I can only advise you to take care."

"Hurry back and prepare; if you stay here too long, others might suspect me of spreading false rumors and disturbing military morale."

"They won't think you came to see me; they'll say I summoned you!"

The several leaders, resigned, silently bowed to Kui Shan and took their leave.

But as soon as they came out, they were surrounded by the experts monitoring Kui Shan and the deputy leaders.

"You few, what did you say to Kui Shan?"

"Confess truthfully!"

A deputy leader rebuked them.

"We went to bid farewell to the Grand Leader."

"How?"

"We've followed him for so many years; even saying goodbye requires your scrutiny?"

A leader, indignant, said.

"Kui Shan's situation hasn't been clarified; there's suspicion of colluding with the enemy. If you told him our battle plan, he'd surely leak it to the enemy!"

Another deputy leader threatened.

"Don't think of the Grand Leader as so base! The Grand Leader is upright and honest; we just wanted to say, the Grand Leader wouldn't let us speak."

"They, being suspected, were naturally very dissatisfied; after all, they are leaders of the 100,000 elite troops legion, and their strength and command ability are no inferior to those few deputy leaders; being threatened, they naturally refused to submit."

"Those few deputy leaders, there's nothing they can do about them now."

"They are just about to raise troops, and now with the five leaders together, they just want to make an example of them, but they dare not act, fearing to cause a disturbance."

Thus a deputy leader had to say: "Your conduct, we have recorded."

"Once we discover the plan leaked, or if you show any abnormal behavior during wartime, don't blame us for not being courteous!"

"What conduct?"

"Who stipulated that bidding farewell to Leader Kui Shan is not allowed?"

A leader, furious, wanted to argue with them, but was then pulled apart by others, and they parted on bad terms.

"Too arrogant! Have you seen?"

"These are the troops Kui Shan brought out! Can such troops still win battles?"

"Once war breaks out, they'll definitely be the first to surrender!"

A deputy leader, after they left, said to others.

"Just bear with it; we still need them for now."

"Moreover, our plan doesn't matter whether it leaks or not; we can just go straight into battle, no need to worry."

Another deputy leader was also there, trying to keep the peace.

"However, we also have to guard against them; we'll assign them all to the army's flanks, so they won't cause any trouble later."

"If placed at the rear, even if they surrendered, no one could stop them."

"If placed at the front and they surrendered, the whole battle would be affected."

"Another deputy leader also suggested being careful with these few leaders, lest they surrender later."

"Not bad, we do need to guard against them a bit, but putting them on the flanks isn't safe either."

"We should split them up, placing them separately in the flanks, vanguard, center, and rearguard; if they show any abnormality, let other leaders kill them."

"Another deputy leader also suggested."

"Although those few regiment leaders announced a call to arms and broke camp after returning, they secretly gathered together to discuss."

"Kui Shan Leader's meaning is that if we don't send troops, we will be killed for disobeying military orders."

"If we send troops, we will be killed by the enemy."

"But what if we surrender?"

"."

"These few leaders have followed Kui Shan for a relatively long time, so they can naturally hear his implied meaning."

"I think he is hinting at us."

"You say, could Kui Shan Grand Leader have already surrendered to the enemy, or like Qiang Hui Leader, already been controlled by the enemy?"

"One leader guessed doubtfully."

"Another leader, however, denied it: \"Cannot. \""

"He is speaking the truth."

"In this situation, I think he also can't figure it out."

"He genuinely believes we will lose, which is why he said that."

"If he had surrendered or been controlled, how could he still kindly hint to us?"

"We ourselves are not without judgment."

"If we hand over command of the army to you, who among you thinks we can win this battle?"

"As soon as he said that, the other few leaders also nodded in agreement."

"Not bad."

"Kui Shan Leader has already been stripped of his military authority, his True Essence sealed, and is under strict surveillance by those experts; the enemy has no need to control him further."

"At that moment, the few leaders exchanged a glance, nodded at each other, and made the final decision."

"That is, they prepared to decide on a collective surrender to save their lives."

"They are not afraid of sacrifice; they just don't want to make a fearless sacrifice under the leadership of a few worthless ones."

"Thus, the allied forces, before even setting out, have actually already been destined for defeat."
