Chapter 661: It’s too late to mend the fold
Chapter 661: It’s too late to mend the fold
"Nephew Wen, please quickly explain to me what the situation is like on the front line."
Huang Feihu was full of doubts. Although he couldn't understand the complicated charts displayed on the main screen, he had a sense of foreboding.
Wen Rui glanced at him, spread his hands and said, "In short, the situation is very bad! I am not exaggerating. From the intelligence we have, the blood sea monsters are a hundred times more brutal than expected. If the army ahead is not careful, there is a possibility that the whole army will be wiped out."
Huang Feihu asked hurriedly: "What's going on? I still don't understand. Is the situation really that serious? The Heavenly Army is well-organized and much more elite than when Li Jing was in charge. With the three great masters of the Western Sect in charge, it's impossible for the whole army to be wiped out, right?"
"Well, nothing is absolute." Wen Rui touched his chin and said, "It's just my personal judgment. Judging from the samples, the Blood Sea Demon Mosquito has evolved to an incredible level. The combat power of a single soldier is close to that of a true fairyland. The situation is very serious, but it may also be that I am worrying too much..."
Wen Rui had no good intentions either. Judging from all the signs, Taoist Mosquito was extremely dangerous. Who knows what terrifying weapon might be hidden in that vast sea of blood.
According to Jarvis's deduction and analysis, the probability of the coalition forces suffering a disastrous defeat is as high as 95%.
However, Wen Rui had no intention of being a whistleblower and kindly reminding the Jade Emperor and Buddha.
But he did not keep the information secret. Instead, he told Huang Feihu everything he knew so as to avoid giving people a chance to accuse him of harboring evil intentions and watching the coalition forces be defeated.
Anyway, even if you tell the truth, the gods and Buddhas may not believe it. Just tell the truth. If there are problems in the future, the subsequent bad consequences will not be blamed on you.
"Nephew Wen, I trust your judgment. Please give me some advice. What should I do next?"
Huang Feihu was one of the few gods in heaven who knew Wen Rui's abilities in the past. He believed in Wen Rui's judgment and simply asked for advice.
Huang Feihu has personal interests at stake. His son Huang Tianhua is still at the front line, shouldering the heavy responsibility of this expedition. No one in the world cares more about the fate of the expeditionary force than Huang Feihu.
"Withdrawal is the best response."
Wen Rui did not lie to him and said bluntly: "Since a new situation has emerged, we should take a long-term view and not rush to argue about the short-term. Uncle Huang, I suggest that you write a memorial to the Jade Emperor immediately, and then rush to the front line as a military supervisor to stop Brother Huang from advancing and force him to lead his troops back."
After hearing Wen Rui's suggestion, Huang Feihu hesitated, his face became gloomy and he was in a dilemma.
Wen Rui was talking without any hesitation, he just touched his upper lip with his lower lip and said whatever he wanted to say, but the actual implementation of the withdrawal of troops was not an easy task.
The army had already marched to the front line along the Blood Sea, but it retreated in disgrace without even fighting a single battle. Where did this leave the reputation of Heaven and the Western Church?
Could it be that gods and Buddhas are afraid of demons?
Even if Huang Feihu wrote a memorial to the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor would never agree to it because of political considerations.
Moreover, since they are a coalition force, the decision to withdraw troops must be made after discussion between the two parties.
It is impossible for the heavenly army to withdraw unilaterally, leaving the Western monks on the front line and putting friendly forces in danger.
The last point is a personal reason. This was the first time Huang Tianhua took command. Before the battle even started, Huang Feihu, as his father, rushed over to speak ill of him and forced him to withdraw his troops. How could Huang Tianhua, who was full of youthful vigor and rebelliousness, obey orders?
"This..." Huang Feihu frowned and said, "My dear nephew, is there no better way? It would be difficult for me to convince the Jade Emperor or stop my son." "If you can't do it, then I can't do it either."
Wen Rui spread his hands and said, "The Jade Emperor has always disliked me and he hates me as a traitor with ulterior motives. The more I oppose him, the more he thinks he is doing the right thing. Huang Tianhua even regards me as a love rival and is holding back his anger and wants to use this opportunity to suppress me and prove that he is no worse than me."
"All I can do now is to strengthen the defense of Ghost Gate to prepare for a possible defeat in the future. I must do whatever it takes to stop the Blood Sea Demon Army from taking advantage of the situation and breaking through the Ghost Gate defense line to enter the mortal world, causing great suffering to the people in the mortal world."
This sounds high-sounding, and is actually a mature statement of serving the country with a sincere heart, but it also secretly conceals the fact that the reason why the Blood Sea Demon Mosquito super-evolved is because Wen Rui's rival leaked the secret and his gene modulation technology was stolen.
Wen Rui, who pretends to be a good person, is actually the culprit of this disaster.
No one knows better than Wen Rui how disastrous the consequences will be if the gene modulation technology falls into the hands of the Demon King and is abused. The enhanced characteristics of the beast soldiers, combined with the innate ability of the Blood Sea Demon Mosquito to absorb the flesh and blood of the enemy to enhance its own power, have infinitely raised the upper limit.
Today, the individual capabilities of the Demon Mosquito Soldiers have reached the realm of True Immortals. After absorbing 100,000 heavenly soldiers and 50,000 Western religious monks, they will be further strengthened.
Huang Feihu certainly didn't know these secrets behind the scenes. After hearing Rui say this, he could only accept it helplessly and even nodded slowly to show his agreement.
In his opinion, Wen Rui has indeed done everything he could within his ability and has done his best with no regrets.
"Okay, then I'll rely on Emperor Wen to guard the gates of hell and not let any demon mosquitoes break into the mortal world. I will write a memorial to the Jade Emperor and then set off to the front line of the blood sea immediately!"
Huang Feihu stamped his feet, made up his mind, turned around and walked out of the information center with great determination, and tried his best to turn the tide.
Although Wen Rui gave Huang Feihu advice, he didn't think he could change anything.
These gods and Buddhas always learn from their mistakes. The countless lessons and cases in the Conferred God Tribulation are ironclad proof of this.
From Wen Rui's point of view, it is in his interest to let the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion suffer a great loss. Only when the world is in chaos can the Jie Religion have a chance to turn things around. But he also needs to prepare for the future and do a good job of damage control. Don't just sit back and watch the fire and end up seeing his own home being burned.
"Jarvis, immediately issue a red alert to the Demon Alliance. The entire territory enters a state of emergency and activates level one combat readiness!"
Wen Rui gave an order with a serious expression: "Make a detailed report of the intelligence collected this time and submit it to the Supreme Committee of the Demon Alliance. Our leaders cannot be as blindly confident as gods and Buddhas. We must understand the seriousness of the situation and prepare for the worst."
"Convert a number of cargo transport ships into passenger ships and conduct evacuation drills. If the situation gets completely out of control, all crew members will simply board the ships and flee, evacuating Southern Jambu Continent and trading space for time."
After giving the order, Wen Rui walked out of the information center, and the space channel in his chest opened, releasing the Ultron robot army stored in the secret realm of Jin'ao Island.
The Ultron robots immediately began to build defensive positions around the passage between the two worlds of Ghost Gate.
Missile launch platforms, various artillery positions, and defensive formations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, determined to make the gates of hell as solid as an iron barrel so tight that not even a fly can get through.
