CHAPTER TEXT:
The Fifth Pillar, Ancient Secrets
The direction of the civilization war has been determined.
Next, the Primordial True King, Chen Chu, the True Martial King, and the top experts of the Tianyu Tribe began discussing the details, adjusting according to the current layout of the Human Race.
In fact, the Human Race's think tank had already developed a detailed plan, including the activation of foundational weapons such as the Heavenly Foundation Destruction Satellite.
However, some of this information must be shared with allies, and their opinions sought. A re-negotiation between both sides is necessary to demonstrate respect for the allies.
After all, this is a war that stakes the survival and fortune of a race, not a game.
During the negotiation adjustments, mutual goals were clarified, such as the two god kings of the Tianyu Tribe collaborating to contain the two demon gods, Dioreus and Kaodestis.
The remaining three supreme experts of the Human Race, Chen Chu, the True Martial King, and a god king from the alliance of deities, along with a Tianyu god king, totaling seven supreme level warriors, were to confront two demon gods from the Glita War Demon Empire.
There was also intelligence indicating support from three unfamiliar demon gods.
Four against four, and three against one, to encircle and kill one of them.
As for the ultimate demon king, he would be besieged by the lord of sacred light from the Tianyu Tribe and the heavenly king Yan Kuang from the Human Race, who had mastered the supreme law.
In addition, the two great infernal empires had a total of seventeen demon kings known to the Human Race; aside from the one killed by Chen Chu, there were sixteen remaining.
Originally, there were nearly eighty demon king level experts, but through Chen Chu's direct and indirect involvement in battles, over a dozen had already fallen from the two empires.
During the battle with the evil god's avatar, due to Chen Chu's 'outstanding' performance, three demon kings from the infernal empire fell, and in the later battle when he entered the mythical world, two more fell.
Adding to this were the four or five demon kings that Chen Chu directly subdued in the Sky Abyss Battlefield, as well as the seven he killed during his deep incursions into the infernal empire.
Overall, due to Chen Chu's actions, more than a dozen demon kings have fallen from the two great empires, which cannot be understated.
Moreover, due to these several rounds of weakening, the Human Race's king level experts did not suffer severe casualties during the first wave of extermination wars initiated by the two great empires.
With past losses considered, the two great empires could mobilize over sixty demon kings in total.
Currently, the Human Race could mobilize forty-one, the Tianyu Tribe had thirty-nine combatants after this evacuation, and the alliance of deities confirmed they could summon twenty.
Combined, the number of king level experts reached one hundred.
As for heavenly king level experts, the Human Race had nine stationed internally, the Tianyu Tribe had ten, another one was seriously damaged and needed recovery, and the alliance of deities had two supreme gods.
With the number advantage held by mythical and heavenly king level experts, some could engage in one-on-one containment while the remaining experts teamed up to encircle the targeted demon king and great demon king.
After all, it is better to lose a single finger than to injure five.
In fact, this tactic of using many against the few to continuously deplete and besiege is what the infernal empire excels at.
They had relied on this tactic for over twenty years, ambushing and assassinating more than ten king level figures of the Human Race while only sacrificing a few demon kings themselves.
This was still under the condition of a constrained battlefield, managed by the three supreme experts.
However, the battlefield isn't merely a comparison of data; the outcome of war also involves environmental factors, external variables, and the Human Race had no knowledge of how many trump cards the two great empires held.
