Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 451 - 452: War Returns! Facing the Demon Antelope Department!
War is cruel and full of deception.
After the negotiations with Marshal Holmes, Gu Qijue returned to the Infinite Empire and immediately entered the holographic conference room.
The South Emperor, Ming God, as well as Emperor Luo and Lily Emperor, were all waiting here for the negotiation results.
The negotiation results brought back by Gu Qijue would undoubtedly surprise everyone.
Gu Qijue said, "Marshal Holmes of the Demon Antelope Department wants to engage in limited warfare with us while simultaneously trading."
Everyone here was intelligent, and as soon as Gu Qijue spoke, they understood most of it immediately.
After a long silence, Emperor Luo was the first to speak: "This is already the best possible result."
"Either join the Dark Emperor Civilization or the Witch Demon Civilization."
"If we don’t join these two camps, we can only be eliminated by them."
"The only question is, how to conduct limited warfare and trade?"
The Dark Emperor Civilization and Witch Demon Civilization are evenly matched, and other forces clearly have no reason to squander their resources for these two giants’ rivalry.
Even if the Dark Emperor Civilization finally wins, the heavily damaged Star Cluster Alliance, as a member of the victorious side, will not gain much benefit.
Might even be wiped out by the forces within the same camp.
In this situation, preserving the overall strength of the Star Cluster Alliance is of utmost importance.
Gu Qijue did not hide anything and relayed the intelligence Holmes provided to him truthfully.
"Marshal Holmes will deploy a large number of war machines, numerous criminal legions, and many temporarily conscripted Star Thieves to engage us."
"The above-mentioned combat units make up 90% of the Demon Antelope Department’s forces; the remaining 10% are the genuine elite of the Demon Antelope Department."
"Excluding the direct elites of the Demon Antelope Department, all other combat units can be sacrificed."
These words are very harsh, but war is inherently harsh and terrifying; this is the main theme of war.
Emperor Luo and the others fell into silence again this time.
However, the silence did not last long before Emperor Luo stated his thoughts.
"Holmes wants to engage us in combat while also training troops."
"The Lolan Alliance is essentially made of Star Thieves, theoretically, they can all be sent for battle."
"However, the casualties of the Lolan Alliance in this battle cannot exceed 20%."
"We can eliminate some notorious individuals and clean up some unruly ones."
"Other people, even if they are Star Thieves, cannot be sent into battle."
"As for war machines, the Lolan Alliance does have quite a stockpile."
"We can allocate 10% of war machines to the battlefield."
In this way, the Lolan Alliance would bear about 30% of the losses in this battle.
The remaining 60% of the losses would then need to be borne by the Star Cluster Alliance.
Emperor Luo and Lily Emperor looked slightly nervous at this moment.
If the Star Cluster Alliance did not agree, the cooperation between the Lolan Alliance and Star Cluster Alliance would have cracks.
The cooperation between the Star Cluster Alliance and the Demon Antelope Department would also be unable to proceed.
When Emperor Luo and Lily Emperor were nervous, Gu Qijue spoke quite casually:
"The Star Cluster Alliance can provide 50% of the war machines and 10% of the criminal legions."
"Additionally, the Star Cluster Alliance and the Lolan Alliance can each provide 5% of their elite troops to engage in battle with the Demon Antelope Department."
Gu Qijue’s words gave Emperor Luo and Lily Emperor a sigh of relief.
Ming God and the South Emperor had no major objections; the Star Cluster Alliance is quite wealthy, and manufacturing a large number of war machines for battle posed no issues.
After these matters were settled, Gu Qijue continued:
"This plan benefits all three parties but there are two issues."
"Firstly, will the Witch Demon Civilization interfere?"
"Secondly, will the Dark Emperor Civilization interfere?"
Though the three parties are engaged in intense continuous warfare.
If the Demon Antelope Department cannot eliminate the Star Cluster Alliance and the Lolan Alliance for long, will the Witch Demon Civilization reinforce?
Conversely, seeing the stalemate in fights here, might the Dark Emperor Civilization send reinforcements?
Gu Qijue’s concerns were well understood by the four people in the meeting room.
Everyone was also clear that these two issues were unavoidable.
Once war reached a certain stage, they would certainly face these challenges.
After considering for a while, Emperor Luo smiled and said, "For now, this is already the best outcome."
"As for how long it can be concealed, it doesn’t really matter."
"With this kind of battle, every day carried out yields more benefits for us three parties."
"The wear and tear of war machines is hardly significant for us."
"The losses of a very few combat units are also within our three parties’ tolerance levels."
"In other regions, if such mutual understanding cannot be reached."
"Then the two major forces of different camps can only fight to the last breath!"
"What truly worries me is whether Marshal Holmes has other schemes."
Emperor Luo, as one of the two leaders of the Lolan Alliance, clearly had no lack of ability.
The problem he worried about, of course, was taken into consideration by the other four.
But such events inherently carry risks, which no one can accurately predict.
After a brief silence, Gu Qijue spoke to break it:
"We can prepare on two fronts, on one hand, fully preparing for war."
"Avoid letting the Demon Antelope Department feign a move and then suddenly attack when we let our guard down."
"On the other hand, act according to the plan."
"The destruction of war machines is entirely within our tolerance range."
"For the Star Cluster Alliance, sending death row criminals to the battlefield provides them with a chance for redemption."
"If these people die for the Star Cluster Alliance, the alliance will take maximum care of their families."
Gu Qijue’s words were agreed upon by the other four leaders.
After the meeting ended, everyone began deploying according to Gu Qijue’s plan.
Preparations were made for both limited warfare and full-scale war.
Marshal Holmes of the Demon Antelope Department, the Star Cluster Alliance, and the Lolan Alliance did the same.
If the Star Cluster Alliance and the Lolan Alliance became complacent, he would seize the momentum like a tiger devouring them both.
Conversely, he would act according to the initial agreement.
On the battlefield, there are only life and death; if one can achieve victory, everything else becomes dispensable.
The so-called agreements are merely a few scraps of paper.
If the enemy claims that without credibility one cannot stand, simply chop off the enemy’s head so they can no longer say it.
Gu Qijue would love to enter the Heaven-Fighting Universe to roll the dice. But with the issues in the Holy Mark Universe unresolved, he cannot leave easily.
The vast majority of people in the Star Cluster Alliance and the Lolan Alliance became extremely tense.
Besides the highest six leaders of the three parties, no one else knows about some special agreements between the parties.
To everyone, the terrifying prospect of war descends once more.
Although initially, metal-manufactured war machines are sent to the front lines.
However, once these war machines are exhausted, will they too be sent to the battlefield?
