Chapter 1512 Nine Goals
The meeting was really not just a formality. It can be seen that although this action was mostly organized by Taiyi Academy, the people invited were not limited to the three major golden tribes behind Taiyi Academy. Although Jiang Yue, who came from the Five Elements Academy, was quite special, there were also some people from other major golden tribes, and even elites from the Titan Academy.

Obviously, the conditions offered by Taiyi Academy this time are very attractive.

Jiang Yue was very curious. Apart from those under the jurisdiction of Taiyi Academy, what conditions had lured the others here? Could it be that Linghua University Scholar had coaxed them here with his eloquence?

So what conditions did she set for the others? Was she just making empty promises like him? There must be some real conditions, right?
Although he was curious, Jiang Yue would not be stupid enough to ask.

Many times, it is better to observe with your eyes than to ask with your mouth.

"Everyone, the commander-in-chief of this operation is our Grand Elder Yin Qiao, and Grand Scholar Linghua and Grand Scholar Tongye are the deputy commanders-in-chief."

"You will be divided into nine groups, and each group will be assigned a corresponding number of people depending on the difficulty level."

Even if it is a decapitation plan, there are naturally priorities.

"Okay, first let's understand the nine targets of this decapitation plan."

Since they were divided into nine groups, nine targets were also reasonable. This was definitely a targeted arrangement.

Based on Jiang Yue's understanding of the surface world, although these nine goals cannot completely cover all the major powers and regional forces in the surface world, they can basically cover them. There is nothing wrong with the general direction. It seems that the inner world has not done nothing.

However, looking at the dozens of people at the scene, if they want to cover nine targets with these people, the number of people assigned to each group will not exceed ten. How easy is it to implement the decapitation plan?
Sure enough, among the nine targets listed in the decapitation plan, there are several representative major countries in the surface world. Dazhang Kingdom is prominently listed, and one of them is circled.

There are four circles in total, and the circles for Dazhang Country and another Eagle Country are highlighted. This is the most important point among the important points, and the final question.

The other two circled ones are second only to these two major countries, which is equivalent to the secondary focus among the focuses.

The remaining five are either regional powers or joint organizations formed by several regional countries, basically covering all key areas of the entire surface world.

Under the instruction of the three bosses, Lao Gang began to introduce the nine targets one by one. He introduced the five targets without circles in a relatively concise manner, and gave a general description of the situation.

It took Lao Gang more than ten minutes to introduce the four circled ones, especially the Da Zhang Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom, which were circled as the key points.

"Everyone, please don't blame me for being long-winded. In the current surface world, Da Zhang Kingdom and Old Eagle Kingdom are the two most difficult bones to chew, and they are also the two most powerful forces in the surface world. Before the arrival of the weirdness, they were the two countries with the largest population bases, one was close to 4 billion, and the other was more than 2 billion. Therefore, even after the arrival of the weirdness and many reshuffles, their populations are still calculated in the hundreds of millions."

"In the Sunshine Age, the Eagle Nation was a warmongering group among the surface humans. They advocated the use of force and had many high-tech weapons. Their military expenditure alone accounted for 40% of the entire surface world. In the Sunshine Age, they advocated that everyone should have weapons, and they were the most fully prepared to deal with doomsday and disasters."

"The Dazhang Kingdom is the exact opposite of them. They have the largest population, but they advocate peace. But don't think that they are weaklings. On the contrary, in terms of the degree of threat, it is very likely that the Dazhang Kingdom is even greater than the Eagle Kingdom."

Some people are puzzled: "If you love peace and don't like war, then what is that if not a weak chicken? How can it be a greater threat?"

"It's a long story if I talk about it." Grand Scholar Linghua took over the conversation. "I won't go into details here. I will just say one thing. The special medicine plan that severely damaged the vitality of the Earth's core was planned by the people of Dazhang from beginning to end. They advocate peace, but are particularly good at planning. They are very tenacious. Even if they fail temporarily and are beaten to the ground and dying, they will never accept their fate. In this respect, they are very similar to our Yaocao people. They have tenacious vitality. If they are given some time, they can always recover. When they recover, they will slowly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. During the long accumulation stage, they are neither arrogant nor impatient, neither hurried nor slow, and they carry out their plans calmly. Just like the layout of the special medicine, even a group of smart people like the Titan Academy were fooled by them."

"I'm going to say it bluntly that the biggest threat to our Earth Core Clan now comes from the Da Zhang Kingdom! They are particularly good at planning and layout. Our army in the early days had difficulty moving forward in the Da Zhang Kingdom, and was accurately attacked every time. Also, don't forget that when the Baoshu Clan first conquered the surface world, they were relatively successful in other areas, but they eventually failed in the Da Zhang Kingdom, resulting in a complete defeat."

Having said that, Grand Scholar Linghua looked at Grand Elder Yinqiao with a slightly apologetic look.

This obviously refers to the sad story of the Baoshu clan.

A trace of grief flashed across the eyes of the Grand Elder Yin Qiao, but then he became calm and waved his hand: "It's okay, every failure is a learning experience. In the past, our Baoshu Clan was arrogant and had only a superficial understanding of the humans on the surface. We underestimated the enemy, which is also a huge lesson. To be honest, among the Baoshu Clan bloodlines that failed in the Dazhang Kingdom, there was one who was my direct bloodline and the one I valued the most. I have already appointed him as my successor, but who would have thought that he would die on the surface! This is the pain of my life!"

Oh?
Jiang Yue was somewhat moved.

It turns out there is such a deep personal grudge here. No wonder Supreme Elder Yin Qiao, who is of such a noble status and at such an old age, is willing to take action personally.

This old guy looks calm and composed, but he actually holds a lot of resentment.

Sure enough, Grand Elder Yin Qiao emphasized again: "As the commander-in-chief, I will stay in Dazhang State and supervise the battle in person!"

Grand Secretary Linghua smiled slightly and said, "I am in charge of the Eagle Country."

Wow, these two are the toughest nuts to crack, and they are in charge of them respectively. It seems that they really attach great importance to them.

"I believe you all know that Dazhang Country and Laoying Country are the top priorities of this decapitation plan. If these two targets are a complete success, it doesn't matter if half of the other targets fail. A snake cannot survive without a head. These two countries are now the true leaders of the entire surface world. Not only are they far ahead in strength, they are also the spiritual leaders of the surface world. If they fall into chaos, other countries, regions, and various forces will lose their support and will not be able to organize themselves."

"What are the advantages of the surface world? They have more advanced management systems and organizational capabilities. We must admit this, whether we like it or not."

Grand Secretary Linghua was sincere and did not try to hide anything. Instead, he spoke the truth openly.

"I might as well tell you that the war situation is extremely unfavorable to the inner world. The decapitation plan is one of the few cards we can still play, and it is also the key to whether we can turn the tide of the war. If the decapitation plan fails, our chances of defeating the surface world on the battlefield and taking over the surface world will be slim."

As Grand Secretary Linghua spoke frankly, the atmosphere on the scene became a little subtle.

Especially those children from wealthy and powerful families, it is obvious that they are dissatisfied and cannot accept this statement.

Of course, most people are shrewd enough that even if they are unhappy, they do not show any emotion on their faces and appear very stable.

The Supreme Elder Yin Qiao glanced at the whole audience coldly: "I am in charge of the surface world during this expedition. If I fail, I will not return to the inner world alive. Although I have lived for thousands of years, my ancestors have always told me that the surface world is our earliest home. No matter when, we must regard returning to the surface world as the greatest mission of our lives. Therefore, even if I am torn to pieces, I will die in the surface world. I hope that everyone here will do the same as me."

This is a bit like taking advantage of one's seniority.

You have lived for thousands of years, and you have deep-rooted ideas, a strong sense of mission and motivation. But not all of these people are as fanatical as you.

In Jiang Yue's opinion, this old guy might feel that he is still quite passionate despite his age, but it is hard to say whether this set of moves can make most people in the inner world passionate now.

But at least the atmosphere at the scene was pretty good. Many people clearly showed a sense of excitement. It was a good response.

But it is obvious that these are far from meeting the requirements of Supreme Elder Yin Qiao.

The old man raised his white eyebrows, and said in a dignified manner: "What? Are you also scared by the surface world? Is this all the energy left? Didn't you have breakfast?"

Someone beside Jiang Yue suddenly shouted, "Grand Elder, I am willing to follow you to Da Zhang Country to carry out the decapitation plan. I promise that I will not return to the Earth's core world until I achieve my goal!"

"Me too. I won't return until all the humans on the surface are wiped out!"

It's true that this atmosphere is contagious. With the local outbreak, it immediately led to a full-scale outbreak of enthusiasm. Almost everyone was no longer reserved and stood up to express their opinions. Some were enthusiastic, some had red eyes, some had bulging veins, and some beat their chests and stamped their feet!

They wanted to burst out all their passion for the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao to see.

Of course, there are still a few who are relatively calm, just like Jiang Yue and his companions, who are immune to wind and rain, unmoved by thunder, with thunder in their chests but calm faces, and have the demeanor of a great general.

The Supreme Elder Yin Qiao nodded with satisfaction. This was the atmosphere he wanted to see. The inner world needed this kind of fanatical and mindless atmosphere.

Grand Secretary Linghua frowned secretly, and the smile on her face seemed a little forced. However, in such a frenzy, she couldn't say anything, and could only hide her worry deeply.

She knew that at this critical moment, even she couldn't say anything to spoil the fun.

However, can the beheading plan really succeed by relying on such emotional incitement and enthusiasm? Grand Secretary Linghua originally had 30 to 50 percent confidence, but after seeing this scene, his confidence inevitably dropped by another 1 or 2 points.

The bigger the event, the calmer you need to be.

This is a decapitation plan, not a rally. You're making it as exciting as if a million soldiers were going to war, is it really that serious?

Shouldn't such an action be carried out with calmness and wisdom? Can the decapitation plan succeed with just passion?

The Tongye Grand Secretary was the calmest of the three. He was like a man who had entered the sage time, quiet and peaceful, as if nothing in this world could make his mood fluctuate, just as calm as a bodhisattva.

Although Jiang Yue didn't know why Tongye University Scholar was assigned to be the deputy commander, maybe Taiyi Academy didn't want to leave him idle? Or maybe it was because Tongye University Scholar was also a leader among the grassroots and had outstanding leadership skills?

But Jiang Yue knew why Tongye University Scholar was so calm.

It was because the Tongye Grand Secretary had something to hide. He didn't even know which camp he belonged to.

He is a member of the Earth Core Clan, but his actual camp has been kidnapped by the surface world.

From the perspective of the Grand Secretary Tongye, it was impossible for him to forget the surface humans who were controlling him behind the scenes. He could also clearly feel that the control talisman not only did not disappear in his body, but would remind him of his existence from time to time.

He knew well what would happen to him if he took an active part in the plan against the surface world.

Therefore, even if Taiyi Academy sent him to take charge and use his status as a Grand Secretary with a Purple Gold Ribbon to preside over the area, he had to bite the bullet and do it, but it was obviously impossible to expect him to be active and proactive.

He was even a little suspicious, wondering if the surface human who controlled him was at the scene?

You know, that big human boss on the surface could enter and exit the heavily guarded Titan Academy freely, and getting an identity as a member of the inner earth tribe was like a piece of cake for him.

Grand Scholar Linghua also noticed that Tongye was a little too silent and low-key.

Taking advantage of the crowd's enthusiasm, Grand Secretary Linghua asked in a low voice: "Tongye, would you like to say a few words? You have dealt with Professor Xu, the surface human, so you should have experience."

Upon hearing this, Grand Elder Yin Qiao also said, "Yes, Grand Scholar Tongye, please say a few words."

The Tongye Grand Secretary cursed in his heart, "I've been so low-key, don't you think I'm nobody? I'm just a deputy commander-in-chief, just a figurehead, can't I just listen to you?"
But since he was named, he really couldn't play dead.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "The humans on the surface are scheming and difficult to deal with. Maybe what we think is a safe thing may turn out to be a trap. At the beginning, Professor Xu was so weak that she did not seem to pose any threat at all. Who would have thought that she could work on the special medicine for ten years? And it was the Titan Academy that begged her to get involved! Let me ask you, who among you could have imagined this?"
