"Zone Six..."
As soon as the words "Zone Six" were spoken, the audience below became somewhat confused.
Did you two just have a private chat and manage to dismiss Zone Nine, Eight, and even Seven?
Very quickly, everyone reacted and their gazes turned unfriendly towards Mountain Puppet... Damn it, Zone Six is the territory of the soul puppets. If the earlier zones are all abandoned, stopping at Zone Six raises our suspicions about whether you two have some hidden transactions.
Facing the doubtful looks, Fang Yujie smiled slightly.
"This is a schematic of the Layered Battlefield."
With a wave of his large hand, sparkling light particles scattered, and an image suddenly appeared above the conference room.
In the image, the light and shadows were mottled, with various continental plates arranged neatly. The entire Layered Battlefield was roughly circular, with one ring encasing another, the core being Zone One and the outermost being Zone Ten.
This is the true appearance of the Layered Battlefield and the Ring Star Domain.
"The Layered Battlefield is divided into ten zones, and the further out you go, the larger the area becomes."
In the layered structure of large circles enveloping smaller ones, the diameter of the outer circles must be larger.
"A larger area means greater defensive pressure. However, we shouldn't let this deter us. The reason for choosing Zone Six is twofold: firstly, the area is moderate, sparsely populated, and has a small defense line, meaning less defensive pressure. Secondly... it is due to the grace of Lord Wen Yu."
As Fang Yujie said this, everyone paused in surprise, then turned their gaze toward Mountain Puppet, who nodded slightly.
"The spirit of the demon lord from the Demon Palace is a sworn enemy of my lord. This time, the war is held in check by my lord. Otherwise, you would have been completely doomed by now."
Mountain Puppet first praised Wen Yu, then shifted the focus.
"But even though my lord has gone to battle, he still thinks about this world. Therefore, my lord left behind his Sixth Soul, the king of the ant race. Given Lolo's population scale and combat capabilities, with her here, Zone Six's defense is worry-free!"
This involves the issue of Lolo's ant swarm scale.
Zone Ten is too large, and with multiple points of engagement, even if Lolo brings out all the ants, she would be unable to manage them all, risking being breached at various points.
But in Zone Six, that problem doesn't exist.
The defense area of Zone Six is smaller, and even if Lolo's ant swarm is completely scattered on the periphery, it can ensure sufficient self-defense against the eleventh level strongmen.
Moreover, Lolo also carries the task of guarding the soul puppets. Before leaving, Wen Yu had instructed Lolo to simply hold Zone Six and not to concern herself with anything else.
This was also Tang Hao's oversight—during the previous mission to rescue Tang Haofei, he unilaterally believed that his godfather had played all his cards to combat the spirit of the demon lord, not realizing that Wen Yu had still left Lolo and even more resources behind...
That being said, during Wen Yu's battle with the spirit of the demon lord, Lolo, the one-eyed avatar, and even the heaven's chosen level soul puppets didn't seem to play any significant role—but Tang Hao didn't understand this. To be honest, he was not very clear about Wen Yu's skill system.
Moreover, during the time when Wen Yu was away, Tang Hao's relationship with the soul puppets was really not good, which also led to him not thinking about consulting Mountain Puppet during the mission to rescue Tang Haofei.
Setting aside Tang Hao's frustration, upon hearing Mountain Puppet's words, the expressions of everyone present brightened. They quickly discussed and approved this proposal.
Next, Tang Hao said a few pleasantries and then waved his hand to conclude the meeting.
As the meeting ended, Mountain Puppet was just about to get up and leave when Tang Hao suddenly stopped him.
