Chapter 323 Pre-war Ambiguity Arises

"Hmph, Thunder Demon King..." I muttered to myself, my eyes sharpening. "The outcome is still uncertain!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I summoned General Zhao, Pharmacist Lin, and... Wen Chen, and we all came to the council hall.

"Gentlemen, now that the resources are ready, it is time for us to counterattack!" I stood in the center of the hall, my gaze sweeping over everyone present, my tone firm and full of power.

General Zhao slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Good! Xiao Yao, you tell me how to fight, and I, Old Zhao, will not hesitate!"

Pharmacist Lin nodded and said gently, "Xiao Yao, you can rest assured about the pills."

I glanced at them gratefully, then turned to Wen Chen. Our eyes met, and a strange light seemed to flash in his eyes, making my heart flutter slightly. But I quickly composed myself and said in a deep voice, "Wen Chen, what do you think?"

Wen Chen smiled slightly and said slowly, "Of course I believe you."

That simple sentence warmed my heart and gave me boundless courage.

I took a deep breath, unfolded a huge map, pointed to the various locations marked on it, and began to explain my counterattack plan in detail.

However, my bold tactics were met with strong opposition from conservatives such as Deacon Li.

"This...this is too risky!" Deacon Li's face turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly. "If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Yes, Xiao Yao, think twice before you act!" Fairy Zhou also looked troubled.

Hearing these doubts, I felt a surge of resentment.

My painstakingly devised plan was so easily rejected!

"Taking a risk? Does that mean sitting and waiting to die is the best course of action?!" I clenched my fists, suppressing my anger, and argued my case.

“But…” Deacon Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wen Chen.

"I believe in Xiao Yao." Wen Chen said calmly, his voice not loud, but with an undeniable power. "Her plans may seem risky, but they often lead to unexpected victories."

Wen Chen's support was like a shot in the arm, reigniting my fighting spirit.

However, just as we were arguing, even worse news arrived—the Thunder Demon King seemed to have sensed our intentions and strengthened the defenses of the demon army!

A tense atmosphere immediately enveloped the entire council hall.

I felt an immense pressure coming at me, almost making it hard to breathe.

Just then, a warm hand gently grasped my cold fingers.

I looked up abruptly and met Wen Chen's deep eyes.

His eyes were gentle yet firm, as if telling me that he would always be by my side.

My cheeks flushed slightly, and my heart beat a little faster involuntarily.

I quickly lowered my head to hide my panic.

"Ahem..." General Zhao coughed awkwardly, breaking the delicate atmosphere.

I steadied myself, took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself down.

"What's there to be afraid of! We'll meet force with force!" I suppressed the trembling in my heart and said loudly, "We still have time, we will definitely find a solution!"

Over the next few hours, Wen Chen, General Zhao, and I repeatedly rehearsed and revised the counterattack plan.

Finally, we settled on a solution that was practically perfect!

Seeing the renewed hope in everyone's eyes, I felt full of confidence.

"This time, we will definitely win!" I clenched my fist and made a silent vow in my heart.

Night fell, and the moonlight was like water.

Wen Chen and I stood side by side on the mountaintop, practicing our tactics over and over again.

We work together seamlessly, our hearts are in sync, like two closely connected stars.

“Xiao Yao,” Wen Chen suddenly spoke, his voice low and gentle, “Have you ever thought about... what you would do if we won?”

I was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Of course, I should continue cultivating and ascend to immortality as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Chen gently moved closer to me and whispered, "Then...would you like to come with me?"

I felt my heart pounding and my face burning hot.

"Report——"

In the midst of this ambiguous atmosphere, an anxious voice suddenly rang out, interrupting our conversation.
