"Now is probably not the best time to directly change the commander. Just as Heavenly Slayer said, it is more appropriate for you, True Navigator, to take over the position of commander."
"But in terms of command, I really cannot compare to you."
"Hehe, does the Daoist think that being a qualified commander only requires a certain level of command skills? If there is not enough prestige to win the loyalty of the soldiers, and if one cannot unite the entire Army, it would instead lead to division, then that person would certainly not be the best choice for commander. Moreover, please rest assured, Daoist. During this period, we will stay in the main camp and fight alongside you against the Demon Clan. However, our two armies are still not familiar enough with each other. I hope you can keep your subordinates in check and avoid any conflicts between us."
Heavenly Slayer silently praised her; this young girl had an impressive grasp of human emotions. Although her goal was to force him to voluntarily relinquish the position of commander, her statement left everyone with the impression that she was not supporting them for the sake of power or anything else but merely for the friendship between the two great forces. Furthermore, at this moment, her request for the various factions of the divine race to accommodate their Army seemed reasonable. To put it bluntly, he had originally planned to create some tension between the two Armies, but now her retreat had completely thwarted his plan.
After all, in a situation where she had directly given up the position of commander, creating such issues would severely damage his reputation and prestige!
"Alright, since we have reached a conclusion regarding the position of commander, let us think about how to drive back those Demon Clan next." Heavenly Slayer had successfully undermined Jiang Xue's command but knew that it would leave some people with leverage against her. Therefore, she quickly changed the subject and decided to find a way to prove herself later and reclaim the position of commander! "Although we have driven back the Demon Clan, our casualties last night were equally staggering. They are still lurking nearby, eyeing us closely. What do you all think?"
Clearly, the position of commander now belonged to True Navigator, but he was not someone who liked to admit defeat. Since he had lost command in this aspect, he must demonstrate his remarkable strength in this same regard and reclaim that position!
"Hmph, now that we have gained morale from last night's victory, we are no longer at a disadvantage compared to them. With the experts from Dragon City and those Xuanmen masters brought back by True Navigator, we are already capable of confronting the Demon Clan head-on. Ultimately, relying on our superior numbers will allow us to crush them completely. My lords, I propose that after a day's rest, we immediately launch a Final Battle against them. This time it will be a fight to the death; if they realize the vast gap between us, perhaps they will retreat without us even needing to attack!"
"That is indeed a good idea." Heavenly Slayer did not have much opinion on this matter either; agreeing with her subordinates would help her win them over. Moreover, this general was originally an elder from their Game God Sect.
"Um, should we directly challenge them again?" True Navigator shook his head. "That would be too reckless. Don't forget that although we turned around last night's defeat in this battle, our losses are still far greater than those of the Demon Clan. This could create negative emotions among our warriors. If our offensive goes smoothly, that's fine; but if we encounter setbacks, such emotions could lead to our warriors collapsing. We must be cautious about this matter. Jiang Xue, what do you think?"
Heavenly Slayer felt like punching True Navigator in the face out of frustration. Just moments ago she had expressed agreement with his opinion, yet this old Daoist turned around and directly rejected it while immediately consulting Jiang Xue. Was he trying to show off?
Jiang Xue replied calmly: "Jiang Xue fully agrees with Daoist's opinion; tomorrow's battle should not take place."
"Why!" Before the Heavenly Slayer could refute her, some of the generals below had already begun to voice their doubts.
Of course, they were different from the Heavenly Slayer; in their hearts, they believed that confronting the current momentum of counterattack was very advantageous for themselves, without considering any matters of power.
"Because it's unnecessary." Jiang Xue's words surprised everyone. They had expected her to provide a long list of reasons to prove that they were not the opponents of the Demon Clan. No one had considered the issue from the perspective of necessity. Having been suppressed by the Demon Clan earlier, they instinctively thought that with the situation improving, they must retaliate to regain their lost face.
"Unnecessary?"
"Unnecessary! I have heard about your purpose this time. It seems that it is merely to suppress the power of the Demon Clan and draw out their main force, preparing for you several sect leaders and experts to invade the territory controlled by demons. So now? Your objective has already been achieved; a powerful force from the Demon Clan has been drawn out, and there must be some degree of emptiness within them, sufficient for your experts to take action. In that case, what is the point of fighting them again? Is it because you are confident of victory without incurring too great a cost?"
Everyone fell silent, including those who had strongly advocated for war before.
They believed they could win, but they were not arrogant enough to think they had complete certainty, let alone that they could do so without significant sacrifice—after last night's battle, they knew that the strength of the Demon Clan should not be underestimated. Even if they wanted to win, they would need to carry a spirit of sacrifice!
"Then, should we just let yesterday's ambush go? We have to teach them a lesson, right?"
Several generals from the divine race fell into deep thought, but many still expressed their unwillingness.
"This can't be helped; you must understand that you were ambushed this time because of your incompetence. To put it bluntly, you are mortal enemies with the Demon Clan. If given a chance to ambush them, would you pass it up? No! You would wish to kill even more demons! So suffering losses this time is nothing to complain about. You just need to remember this lesson for next time."
Jiang Xue's words were very direct, leaving them unsure how to avoid having their remaining vanity crushed. However, Jiang Xue was not in a position to cater to their vanity at this moment.
