Chapter 1080 - We Fight

"We, Eulja, choose to fight."

Lin Xingzhi and Korzan closed their eyes, knowing that this was for the best.

Agnis had a stroke of brilliance when he announced all that stuff, but this would surely displease Alex any other time. After all, it was just like him pressuring the king to take action by manipulating the people's influence.

If it were in another influence, the king, which was Alex, would surely be angry.

However, their minds thought the same thing. In fact, Agnis dared to do something like this because he purely wanted to fight and save Sherry after all the things Alex could possibly do for Eulja.

Alex looked at his people with a solemn face while thinking of any other options. Unfortunately, peace was never an option. He remembered when Lin Xingzhi summoned the Five Guardians and Six Elemental Gods to fight the Palm God.

He looked at the side, finding his wives' faces who seemed to take this matter seriously. When Alex saw Lin Xingzhi, in that instant, he realized that Lin Xingzhi already knew all of this. He just never thought that Lin Xingzhi would hide it from him. Either way, he would ask her explanation after this.

What he needed right now was to fix the current issue.

He opened his mouth and talked in a pacifying tone. "For the past few thousand years, we have done nothing other than saving and building up our strength. In the meantime, people have forgotten our capability.

"This is also the perfect time for the slumbering tiger to wake up. I don't know why this happened just when I announced my new Spirit Crown, but I would like to ask all of you here and those who are watching behind the screen.

"Everyone…Would you lend me your strength and show the fang of the sleeping tiger that has been forgotten for a long five thousand years?" Alex smiled while uttering that question.

Although it was so coincidental to have this event happening in this ceremony, all the spirits were more focused on the battle itself.

Having been hiding and suppressed for so long, they could finally show their blades once again. And this wasn't just a normal blade or rusty blade. Instead, this blade had been sharpened for a long five thousand years.

All spirits were eager to test that blade to gain their former glory before surpassing it with their new king.

Agnis led the crowd and smiled. "Your Majesty. It's an honor!"

Alex looked at the ceiling for a few seconds, wondering if this was the right thing to do. Surprisingly, this time, the sword in his hand floated as if telling him to wield the sword and go to the battle.

Even the spirits saw the recognition, believing that the Ancient Spirits gave them a blessing for this upcoming war.

Noticing that, Alex smiled and looked at them. Suddenly, he cupped his hand with a smile.

Everyone was dumbstruck for a few seconds before they cupped their hands and lowered their heads once again.

Lin Xingzhi sent a thought transmission to him. 'You should give out the roles such as the leader and strategists. Anyway, those who are prepared shall go to Ein Continental Rift, where our ships are stored. Besides, not everyone could join this fight.'

'You are going to explain everything to me later,' Alex said with an annoyed tone.

'Sure thing.' Lin Xingzhi sighed inwardly.

Alex then raised his hand and opened his mouth. "I will be leading this battle myself and appoint Anya as my strategist. All Elemental Gods and Guardians are to meet me in the war council. And those who are eager to fight, I will allow all the Teleportation Arrays to send those who are eager to participate. How many can participate will be determined by the council.

"And the last thing! I declare that this ceremony is finished!" Alex then turned around as if preparing to leave. "Move out!"

"Uoh!" All over the world was filled with cheers as many of them prepared to go to the battle. This was the new king's first campaign, so the hype was far higher than a normal war.

Alex left the room first, followed by his wives. Either way, Lin Xingzhi would be facing him after this.

They gathered in the same room where Lin Xingzhi held the war council last time. Only fourteen people could enter this room. They were Alex, Lin Xingzhi, the Guardians and Elemental Gods, as well as Anya.

Alex took the center seat while the rest sat side by side, looking at the map that had been projected by an array on the table.

Obviously, Lin Xingzhi explained everything, starting from Sherry's encounter with that Young Master to how she got oppressed by the Array God. Of course, the information came from the past Spirit God's only bodyguard that was with Sherry at the moment.

After knowing that Sherry made the plan herself, he finally let Lin Xingzhi go since it was Sherry's wish to finish it herself.

Anya then took her position and looked through the information they got. After contemplating for a while, Anya looked at Alex first. "Before we are discussing the strategy itself, I want to hear your decision. Will you allow your wives to participate in this battle?"

"If they want, I won't stop them. However, if I can be selfish, I don't want them to the very front, making them targeted." Alex nodded.

"In that case, it will be easy. The ten commandants will remain in their positions, protecting Eulja and our territories. Since we haven't gained all the citizens in our territories due to several reasons, we will only move with the spirits, allowing us to take the lead over the others.

"Hence, this is my plan." Anya took a deep breath before looking at the map. "Alex, Lin Xingzhi, and all Elemental Gods are to take the first step, opening this whole war. The Five Guardians are to assume the protecting duty of our mothership. Currently, we have our mothership with fifty thousand people capacity and bring five General Class Ships having ten thousand Spirits each. This will be our only force.

"With Alex and the others gaining their attention, we will strike them from behind, confusing the enemy. Using that diversion, I want Lin Xingzhi to take on the Array God by herself and kill him. The other Rank 2 Gods will either fight to protect Alex from any higher Gods that will target Alex or prevent them from helping the Array God. I am sure that you have this ability, right, Sister?"

Lin Xingzhi smirked and said, "Despite getting the inheritance of the former Array God, he has yet to attain the previous power of the Array God. In most cases, his power will be like the Palm God, so you can rest assured. I will kill him as soon as possible. I don't like wasting too much time."

"Exactly. In the past, we needed to preserve our strength, so the fight lasted for a few days, but since we will take the enemy by surprise, we should be able to minimize the loss while doing it this way." Anya nodded in agreement.

"Excuse me…"

Suddenly, someone's intruded into the meeting with an unsure face.

"Lilda?" Lin Xingzhi widened her eyes since it was the head of their Array Research, the Rank 2 God, Lilda.

The dwarf nodded and asked. "Actually, I am wondering if you would allow me to enter this battle too…"

"Why? You have never put any interest in war before." Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes. To be honest, having another Rank 2 God at this moment would be reassuring, but Lin Xingzhi still gave her a condition. "At least, tell me the reason."

Lilda thought for a moment and opened her mouth. "If I said the ceremony didn't influence me, I would be lying. However, that's not all. The enemy is the Array God this time. As an Array Master myself, I would like to see his power to understand the arrays better. At the same time, I can be His Majesty's guard. I am sure that this will be the perfect role for me."

Lin Xingzhi frowned and glanced over Anya.

"To be honest, yes. Although you didn't go to war, your power is ridiculously high. Without the Array God, you should be able to handle Alex's safety, but I need to confirm it with Alex first." Anya agreed but left the decision to Alex.

"Sure." Alex nodded without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. And also, congratulations for becoming our king."

Alex waved his hand as if telling her it wasn't important. At the same time, he asked Anya to start again.

"Since that is the case, the Elemental Gods and Guardians shall pave the way for our spaceship to destroy their ships. In any case, the Martial Saints can only fight inside the spaceship. There are a few ways to destroy them.

"First, we will get close to them before using our Teleportation Array to teleport our spirits there. Or we will use our weapons and arrays to blast their ships. Either way, we can move according to how they intercept us. To put it simply, the Martial Saints can either support us by charging the weapons or raid them since outer space battle is not their thing yet. This is why most people want to fight inside a Divine World instead of outer space."

"What is the number of our force?" Alex asked.

"We have roughly five hundred thousand God Rank Experts in Eulja alone. However, the spirits who can't fight are half of them. Within that half, we can only bring twenty to thirty percent of them because we need to leave the rest to protect Eulja and its stability.

"One hundred thousand will go according to the earlier arrangement while the rest one hundred thousand will be brought by another ship. Although it can't attack or anything, it can carry so many people inside.

"Since I am the one in charge of strategy, my current plan is to bring fifty thousand God Rank Experts and one hundred fifty thousand Martial Saints."

Alex looked down and fell into deep thought.

Anya then asked the others. "Any objections?"

The Guardians and Elemental Gods shook their heads as Rilt added. "It's been a while seeing my daughter in control. Huft, such a good old day."

"…" The rest only rolled their eyes, ignoring Rilt, who seemed to never be serious in this room.

Suddenly, Alex let out a long sigh as if he was disappointed with the plan.

"Alex? Do you think I need to improve the strategy?" Anya frowned.

"Yeah." Alex scratched the back of his head, feeling pretty guilty. "I am sorry to say this, but I can't agree with this plan. I want you to redo it."

"What?!" They were in utter shock. Not many people would object to Anya's strategy in the past, so they couldn't understand Alex's thoughts for asking her to redo it.

"We are fighting alongside the Beast Kingdom, right?" Alex asked.

"Yes. My plan is to destroy the Array God's army with our overwhelming number before moving to their territory to make an example of the universe." Anya nodded. "They are innocent, but we can't really give mercy too because many of them willingly follow him."

"And according to the information you have hidden from me…" Alex glanced at Lin Xingzhi. "He wanted to enslave Sherry and have her fallen into despair, right?"

Lin Xingzhi looked away, feeling embarrassed because she was also guilty of this plan. "Sherry proposed that idea. I just followed it."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. In any case, I don't like him." Alex released his killing intent, showing his grudge against the Array God. "You said that it's better to fight inside a Divine World, right?"

"Absolutely." Anya nodded as she couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"Hence, I want him to fall into despair too. I will show him the taste of his own poison." Alex smiled and continued. "And this is my plan…"

When they heard his plan, they sucked a cold breath and felt chills all over their bodies.
