916 Plan

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

This was the first time they had achieved such results before, causing the factions to become delirious with joy. They had never obtained such a victory before, and it was because they had gathered simply too many strategists, who had plotted this together. No ordinary person could get out of this situation by themselves.

It actuality, it was only natural that the result would be like this. From the beginning, they had been predicting all sorts of things that Great Qin could do, and they prepared countermeasures for all possibilities; that was the main purpose of the strategists.

The various factions were all quite cooperative, and their intelligence-collecting had been done quite well. In order for Great Qin not to detect anything, things were done incredibly quickly, and only those who needed to know what was going on were told.

As such, Great Qin did not have any preparations, so it would naturally lose. Moreover, even though the various factions all contributed to different degrees, their overall contributions were able to create this kind of effect.

After obtaining such a great victory, the various leaders all gathered together to celebrate. They were all quite wary of Great Qin suddenly attacking in retaliation, so they did not dare to get too drunk. However, the scene was incredibly lively.

Si Ji stood up and loudly called out, “Now, everyone should know that Great Qin is not invincible. As long as we are united, there’s no need to fear Great Qin!”

Liu Ye laughed as he stood up and cupped his hands toward Si Ji before saying, “Brother Ji is correct; if more people are willing to join us, and we can continue working in unity, we can destroy Great Qin sooner or later. We cannot allow Great Qin to act so outrageously.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but they all had their own thoughts.

Ji Shenming sighed before saying, “We were too arrogant before and did not bother dealing with Great Qin from the start, allowing it to gradually develop. If we had humbled ourselves and allied from the start, Great Qin would have been destroyed already and would not have been able to even develop. What a pity.

“Moreover, Di Wutian was simply too haughty and was not willing to back down, resulting in him dying. I heard that not only his women were taken to be used for Great Qin’s Legatee’s pleasure, but all of his family’s beautiful women were also taken. This result is incredibly tragic.”

“Hmph! Great Qin is incredibly ruthless and cruel, and Great Qin’s Legatee is not only tyrannical but licentious. He’s a tyrant and a bandit, and we should have gotten rid of him earlier to bring justice to the world!” a scholar said as he coldly harrumphed.

Everyone agreed with what he said, as that was the reality to them – Great Qin’s Legatee was a bloodthirsty and lascivious person, yet he had been favored by China’s Fate and developed so quickly. His strength now caused countless people to feel terror.

This forced all of them to work together to resist Great Qin. Why did they not have such good luck and opportunities? The heavens were simply unfair to favor those who were evil.

Some people even shouted to the sky in grief, “God, you’re simply blind! Why are you helping such an evil person bring harm to the world? Why would you not give us an opportunity?”

However, seeing that they had stopped Great Qin from seemingly taking over the world, they felt much better.

“Come, come, come, let’s all celebrate and then go back to operating our plan. This time, we have to heavily wound Great Qin and make it so that it can no longer recover!” Si Ji said loudly as he raised his wine cup.

Everyone else cheered, making the scene lively again.

This news was quickly spread by the factions in order to show how brilliant and brave the factions were, as well as how righteous the factions were and how ruthless and stupid Great Qin was. It was one of those stories of a hero defeating evil.

On one hand, they wanted everyone to know that they had won in order to satisfy their vanity; after all, this was not something that anyone could do.

On the other hand, they wanted to attract more people to join them. Even though it seemed like they were quite united, they were actually just a pile of loose sand, with everyone looking after their own interests. If they faced a massive crisis, they would instantly collapse.

If they wanted to maintain their advantage, they had to pull more people in. With enough strength, their alliance would not have to worry about falling apart in the face of danger. However, the various factions all had different thoughts about this.

The factions that were the most worried were those in the central area of China. Now that Great Qin had suffered a great loss, with Great Qin’s Legatee’s savage nature, he would definitely take revenge, and it was likely the factions at the central area would be his target.

The School of Taoism, School of Legalism, and other neutral factions were slightly worried. Even though they did not participate in this, if Great Qin became mad and started to take revenge, they could be dragged in too.

The neutral factions were quite worried but could not do much. If they did anything and caused a misunderstanding, things might become even worse.

However, the people from the School of Confucianism and School of Mohism were quite happy, as they felt that Great Qin had been punished by the heavens. Those two schools emphasized benevolence, and even though they knew that resisting Great Qin was quite dangerous, they still went ahead with it.

The many ordinary people were also quite joyful, as they were no longer threatened by Great Qin. Su Yan had selflessly given away the method to produce Two Body Talismans so that no one would have to tolerate Great Qin’s tyrannical behavior anymore.

Now that there was no more danger, those mocking voices once again started to sound out.

However, it was indeed quite easy to paint Great Qin’s name black, but those people were mere bugs who could be crushed at any moment. Apart from using their voices to mock, they were not good for much else.

If Great Qin could threaten them again, they would once again fall silent in terror. They were incredibly weak and cowardly.

Back at Great Qin, Zhao Fu’s expression was quite grim. Even though they had tried so hard, they had lost so many people. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to look after so many soldiers, he would have brought the eight Aquatic Beast Kings to charge into that group of 2,000 enemy City Lords.

Great Qin was on the trajectory of unifying the world, but now its progress had been halted. Facing the other side’s actions, Zhao Fu felt quite furious.

He once again gathered his subordinates; this time, they had to make meticulous plans and also guess the other side’s plans. They needed to change their thinking and think carefully about how the other side was thinking.

Zhao Fu was not a rash person and would not stupidly charge over. Everything needed an appropriate plan.
