Just when Asimov proposed that he be responsible for breaking through the Blood Wall, Jin, sitting next to William, was still sleeping, gradually awakening due to the scent most familiar with her.
In her groggy state, as she listened to the discussion about destroying the wall, she also raised her hand.
"Do you need large-scale destruction of so troubleso construction works? I’ll do it... I love explosions the most! The walls you ntioned must be of especially good quality, right?
In that case, I can use my strongest explosive techniques without worrying about Zion being blasted into the sky."
"Are you going to handcraft a nuclear bomb, Jin?"
"Ah? What’s a nuclear bomb... "
"Just kidding. Take a good look at the nature of this Blood Wall before making a decision. For now, it has been tentatively decided to be handled by Mr. Asimov."
Jin lightly scratched the simulated wall with her finger, "A symbiotic Blood Wall indeed, combined with a skin is truly troubleso. As long as the skin can be peeled off, both defense and integrity will be significantly reduced.
It depends on your arrangent. If you decide you don’t need my explosions, then never mind, I’d rather preserve more of my energy for chopping people inside."
William stroked his chin, seemingly having other considerations for Jin’s abilities, "Mr. Asimov is also a professional... By the way! Jin, you are very confident in your own blasting ability, aren’t you?"
"My ’explosion’ has been praised by the Lord, and my path is also related to it;
what are you planning to do?"
William pointed towards the center of the simulated city, "How about you go and detonate the ’Pulse Tower’? That is the core building of the Limiting Organization. Once destroyed, the gentlen’s strength will be fully restored, and your armor can function again."
"Sure, but such a place can’t just be blown up, can it?"
"Correct, the Pulse Tower is built together with the Divine Skin Mansion, or rather perfectly combined with the central manor of the Blood citizens, housing one of the hardest-to-deal-with Seven Marquis.
To detonate the Pulse Tower, a detailed battle plan is needed."
"Cough..."
Sitting not too far away, Desline coughed lightly, reminding William that he was not the main person in charge of this eting.
William also smiled subtly, turning his gaze towards the purple-suited figure, the First Doctor, Gregory Alaus, who had lived for over five hundred years.
Unexpectedly, Alaus did not take back control of the conversation but gestured with his palm towards William.
"Although I reckon I could live another five hundred years, I am, in many ways, an old thing. My thinking is often constrained by past events, making it narrow.
Since a young person with talent surpassing ours has erged, who has also perfectly conducted pre-war reconnaissance,
why wouldn’t this young man, who seems to have a leader’s caliber, express his battle opinions or even plan everyone’s actions? What’s wrong with that?
Continue, William! State your fundantal thoughts on this operation, the primary sequence of recovery, and specific personnel arrangents."
"Thank you, Mr. Alaus. However, I am not sufficiently familiar with everyone’s capabilities to plan each person’s specific responsibilities.
So, regarding the detailed arrangents for each person, I’ll leave that to you. Let
just propose a general plan for the operation."
William stood up from his seat, pointing at the proportional model of New Zion.
"I personally think there are two main objectives of the recovery plan, not necessarily in this order.
One is acknowledged by everyone as sealing the "Pathway," preventing reinforcents from the Old World, and performing an explosion on the Pulse Tower to restore the freedom of the skin.
The other is heading to Academy to rescue Mr. Zede imprisoned within.
However, the first point is clearly more challenging;
the Pathway entrance will inevitably be guarded by the Seven Marquis,
therefore, we need to split into ’two teams’ even before entering the city,
the first team, upon breaching the city walls, will imdiately comnce extensive destruction to attract the nobles’ attention while showing an intent to attack the central manor."
Once the nobles’ attention is sufficiently diverted, the second stealth team will imdiately infiltrate the Academy and rescue Zede as swiftly as possible."
At this mont, Martin and Marko, as Prophets, voiced their concerns, "Our Silver Circle’s total number is inherently smaller than that of the Blood citizens, and we are also restricted by our attire and disadvantaged geographically,
if we further split our force and even require the first team to attract attention deliberately... isn’t the risk too high?"
Once the Bloodfolk decisively put their full combat power into play, it would have been entirely possible to crush the first team and even see a significant number of gentlen die within a short ti.
Moreover, you seed not to have ntioned the issue with the passage."
"The issue of the ’Passage’ has been resolved, Prophet Marko~ didn’t you just ntion it? Our total number of Silver Circles is less than that of the Bloodfolk;
if we further split the team allowing the second squad to conceal itself, the difference between the total number of Silver Circles and the combat power would beco even greater, and the Bloodfolk also have the local advantage and the presence of the Seven Marquises.
With such clear advantages, the Old World Bloodfolk will continue their trait of ’arrogance’ and not call for reinforcents from the Old World."
Marko nodded slightly, but issues still existed,
"The ’Passage’ is indeed viable, but you have not yet answered my first question.
How can the team ant to attract attention ensure their safety? If they are defeated before Zede is rescued, then there would be no point."
Moreover, Zede has been imprisoned for a full four months;
even if truly rescued, he might not possess the ability to fight."
William shook his finger, "No... As long as Teacher Zede isn’t completely killed, he absolutely remains one of the strongest mbers of the organization, wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Asimov?"
William suddenly tossed the conversation to another Special Record Combat Power present,
Asimov hooked his finger under his collar that covered his mouth and nose, seemingly irritated when the na ’Zede’ was ntioned.
"You’re right about that, the physique of Zede is trendously formidable. At one point, he managed to kill the monk chasing him while just hanging on by a thread as he escaped from the monastery... It’s indeed a pity he was not integrated into the monastery."
Marko continued to interject into their conversation, "How can we ensure the survival rate of the first squad?"
"Indeed, this is the riskiest part of the battle plan.
However, if my combat suggestion is accepted, this highly risky first squad responsible for attracting the Bloodfolk’s attention would be led by
personally.
The tentative team composition includes Jin, Prophet Yuri, Doctor Araus, Mr. Asimov, and a friend of mine.
’Patient Zero—Moon Trace Lorian’, who caused the False Moon incident, has already signed a cooperation agreent with
and will assist with our recapture plan.
Moreover, Lorian has successfully disguised himself as a noble and infiltrated the Zion, working with the moon hanging over Zion’s head;
he will be key to our recapture plan.
The second squad will also take advantage of the moonlight to stealthily infiltrate the Academy District and launch a surprise attack."
As a monastery executioner, Asimov quickly caught the key points of this statent and imdiately inquired, "The moon of the Old World has already been broken, and the rules erased;
are you talking about the patient as the founder of the New Moon?"
"Yes."
"Such a figure would be a huge figure in the Old World, why would he help you?"
"Because he and I are old acquaintances, and all it will take is so benefits after the operation succeeds.
Even if the operation fails, he could leave anyti using the moonlight, which has no impact on him personally."
Asimov looked at William with sharp eyes, "You’re only stating the obvious, but being able to make such a patient put down his affairs at this ti to co help us—William, your ’Social’ skills are quite impressive."
"Thank you for the complint, Mr. Asimov. You being able to serve in an important position in the monastery as a human and coming back to help at such a critical mont is equally impressive~ I hear the monastery is especially strict in its managent."
While the two n mutually flattered each other,
Doctor Araus had been contemplating William’s suggested battle plan, affirming its feasibility.
He suddenly slapped the table with his palm, with the slap even mixing echoes of a dragon’s roar:
"William’s combat plan is feasible, so the second squad will consist of Desline and Marko forming the ’Double Prophets Team,’ collaborating with Reagan for a rapid infiltration and rescuing Zede.
Once Zede regains his freedom, all units will gather and launch a total assault on the Divine Skin Mansion.
If we fail to destroy the passage in ti, resulting in reinforcents from the Old World, we will imdiately end the plan and retreat quickly.
If anyone has any questions or additions, please raise them now."
The discussion began imdiately, but the overall direction of the plan remained unchanged, consistently augnting and detailing around the combat strategy provided by William.
William’s combat suggestion would beco the main strategy for the attack, scheduled for tonight when the moonlight again falls on Zion...
