Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 113 It’s hard to tell
"real or fake?"

Hearing what the princess said, Dugu Fengfeng's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief. Then she quickly calmed down and said in anger: "Humph!"

Dugu Feng already disliked Yin Wan'er, especially when she publicly said that she was not fit to be a princess, which made Dugu Feng even more angry and resentful. The feud was set!

Xiao Ying ignored everyone's reactions and looked at Wang Caixuan with interest before asking, "Oh? So, what does Military Advisor Wang think about this?"

Although Xiao Ying believed in the loyalty of Dugu Feng and Ling Guang Divine Monk, Dugu Feng clearly represented the traditional righteous path, while Ling Guang Divine Monk represented Buddhism... and was the biggest enemy of the Demon Sect.

Even Xiao Ying's most handsome and most valued surrendered general... Li Baiyao, must have a close relationship with the Demon Sect. His position is unclear, and no matter how loyal he is, he is biased!

Looking at the others, Xie Yingdeng was obviously not interested in these schools, while Hong Lingtian was too lazy to use his brain.

Only half-military advisor Wang Caixuan and the four maids can look at this matter fairly, impartially and rationally!

"How do you see..."

Wang Caixuan was stunned for a moment, hesitating and thinking with some uncertainty, then continued with a stiff upper lip:

"Not bad! I feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! It's just a game and struggle of power in a chaotic situation. The prince is pragmatic and the witch is cunning. The contrast is obvious. Each gets what they need and has their own purpose."

After saying this, Wang Caixuan smiled awkwardly, not daring to comment on King Jingwu any further. She changed the subject and analyzed:
"The witch appears capricious and frivolous, but in reality, she is shrewd and decisive, soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She is also skilled in negotiation and planning, and should not be underestimated. This can be seen from her vain pursuit of the state religion and her decisive refusal, her fear of General Dugu, and her provocation of the prince..."

Xiao Ying nodded in appreciation, looked around at everyone, and asked with a smile, "Good analysis, what about the others?"

"This...Is it difficult for me to comment?"

Wang Caixuan's expression froze, and she was obviously embarrassed to refuse. Seeing Xiao Ying's insistence on asking for advice, she gritted her teeth and replied:

"The prince is pragmatic and rational. He doesn't cling to the view of good and evil. He focuses on facts and the people's will..."

Having said this, he glanced at Dugu Feng who seemed to be lost in thought, and continued:
"General Dugu hates evil, is loyal to the court, cares deeply about the prince, and values ​​the people's reputation..."

"okay!"

Seeing Wang Caixuan's timid and unconfident reaction, and her unwillingness and fear to offend others, Xiao Ying was both angry and amused and tried to stop her.

Xiao Ying wanted to better understand the current situation and, in doing so, cultivate military advisor Wang Caixuan, especially his confidence. He wasn't deliberately trying to make things difficult for her. Since it was difficult, there was no need to force it.

After a pause, Xiao Ying looked around at everyone and continued:

"Now, war is raging, and times of chaos have arrived. We are alone in defending Jiangdu, and survival must be our top priority. Given the current crisis, if we continue to cling to the views of good and evil, Jiangdu will be in danger. Where should we go?"

At this point, Xiao Ying paused, letting everyone digest his thoughts, and then continued, "Besides...all the Demon Sect wants is a seat at the table. Does that mean if we don't allow it, the Demon Sect will have no place to stay? One day...if we can truly conquer the world, then we can discuss the good and evil sides!"

Everyone seemed lost in thought, their thoughts diverging. Wang Caixuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes shimmering with energy as she exclaimed in praise, "Your Highness's foresight is truly exceptional..."

Xiao Ying glanced at Wang Caixuan and said with a wry smile, "This isn't a cunning plan, it's simply a helpless situation! Order the entire army to speed up the march, be on high alert, and wait for a turning point!"

To be honest, Wang Caixuan's qualifications, talents, knowledge, and even observation and reaction abilities are indeed enough to serve as a military advisor. It's just that he is too unconfident and a little bit timid, and he won't speak or express his opinion unless it is necessary!
These changes will take time, so we can only do it slowly! "Wait! I want to say a few words..."

Just as everyone was about to agree, Princess Fengming Yang Qingxuan suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention. Then Yang Qingxuan looked at Xiao Ying and continued:

"I understand what Your Highness is thinking! However, is it worth it to allow the Demon Sect to exist openly in our territory, damaging our reputation, just to delay the Jianghuai and Fengming armies for three to five days and buy time for our army?"

"Oh? What does General Yang mean?" Xiao Ying asked with interest, and the others were also quite curious and looked at him!

Considering the current crisis of the Sui army, being able to hold back the two rebel kings and their armies for three to five days is already a great opportunity. It is totally worth it to tolerate and indulge the Demon Sect a little. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Even the Buddhist sect, which is considered the biggest enemy of the Demon Sect, has basically approved of what King Jingwu Xiao Ying did!
"If it's just a matter of delaying for three or five days, there are so many ways to do it!"

Yang Qingxuan responded quickly, having prepared a plan in advance. After a pause, she directly suggested:
"Using the prince's divinely bestowed magic, leading a group of soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Jianghuai and Fengming armies on the march, we will surely cause heavy casualties and chaos! Wouldn't this delay the rebels?"

At this point, Yang Qingxuan paused, then hesitantly continued, "Our losses were only a handful of soldiers! The casualties are definitely significant, and... every war brings casualties. This sacrifice is totally worth it. It's better than signing a pact with the Demon Sect, right?"

"Indeed!"

"Yes!"

"What the princess said makes sense!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and Dugu Feng, Xie Yingdeng and Wang Caixuan expressed their opinions directly, looking at Xiao Ying with anticipation, admiration and excitement.

The logic is very simple, that is, to use Xiao Ying's "God-given magic", sacrifice a group of Sui troops, snipe the enemy, and in exchange for a larger casualty ratio, by the way, delay the enemy and seize the opportunity to fight. It is a good deal no matter how you look at it!

Taking the southern battle as an example, a force of 3,000 to 4,000 strong men stormed the Liang army in the south and succeeded in one fell swoop. Even if they failed, they could still incur approximately 30,000 to 40,000 casualties in the Liang army, a disparate casualty ratio of 1 to 10, making it completely worthwhile!

If this is applied to the main battlefield of Hailing, you can easily see that the effect and impact will be huge. Even changing troops can drag down a powerful enemy!

"I've thought about it, too. However, a divine method bestowed by heaven cannot be used casually..."

Xiao Ying understood, but it was difficult to explain in detail. He could only smile bitterly and spread his hands in response. His thoughts shifted, and he explained tactfully, "In the battle in the south, we successfully launched an assault and forced the Liang army to surrender with few casualties. We were quite lucky! If so many powerful men were destroyed or suffered heavy casualties, they would be useless in three to five months at the shortest, or a year and a half at the longest! Just like us, we need time to recover after expending energy in battle. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ying cannot and will not explain the Blood Demon Diagram and its Star Soul in detail, so he can only give a rough explanation like this!
Based on Xiao Ying's current understanding of the Blood Demon Diagram, if his power is exhausted, the average estimate is:
A lower third-grade star soul would take ten days to half a month to recover.

The middle three grades take three to five months, while the upper three grades take a year and a half!
Based on the nine realms and nine grades, the higher the realm, the stronger the power, which increases exponentially. Correspondingly, the time required to recover power also increases exponentially.

Jiangdu was currently at the center of a storm, surrounded by enemies. Xiao Ying needed to maintain the Blood Demon Diagram as a trump card, or at least use it as a surprise attack.

If the Blood Demon Map and its Star Soul cannot be used for a year or two, the loss will be far greater than what is gained from a single assault, such as using them to train stronger troops or key surprise troops.

Recently, a book friend has expressed concerns, so I'll use the characters in the novel to explain this. Actually, I've already explained in the previous article that Star Souls are merely immortal and indestructible, and they can't be used infinitely, just like electricity—it takes time to recharge, right?
