"No problem," Beelzebub was the first to respond, "I’m also very interested in this thing."
Next, the World Tree also expressed willingness to cooperate. Finally, the dicine King, an eighth-level Dominator from the Curse Demon Empire, after glancing at Wild Wind, also agreed.
This settled the matter of the Critical Evolution Liquid.
"The cultivation of top-tier combat power will remain as it is for now. We can go further in cultivating the lower-tier combat power," Richard spoke again. "I think we can exchange our techniques more thoroughly in the middle and lower tiers.
The planning of the battlefronts can also be more flexible.
The distribution of civilization battlefronts is becoming sowhat inappropriate. I propose that battlefronts should rge, and army organizations should also change.
We’ve been cooperating for a while; it’s ti to let go of those minor defenses."
Richard’s words were well-spoken, yet the three Divine Kings of the Gods Civilization remained silent.
The God King of Ten Thousand Changes spoke, "Whom do you represent? Yourself, the Wizards, or the Abyss?"
"I represent myself," Richard replied with a smile, "Of course, I also represent my allies."
"Miracle, you’re being too radical," the Plastic Energy Crown suddenly said, "rging armies is not as simple as you think. Neither our armies nor those of other civilizations have truly undergone large-scale rged army combat.
If we hastily rge, our army’s potential may indeed rise, but in the short term, that potential cannot be converted into strength."
On the other side, the Alchemy Crown also spoke, "Moreover, the logistical pressure brought by the mixed brigade is imnse. Our current logistics transportation cannot supply such a large-scale mixed brigade in the short term."
The most rare event in the Wizard Civilization occurred, with the Alchemy Crown and Plastic Energy Crown standing on the sa side.
Richard glanced at the people around him, and then looked at the Alchemy Crown on the opposite side, his expression unchanged.
"rging armies is inevitable. Although I’ve not been active on the front line recently, I’ve reviewed the frontline data.
Although our attack speed seems unchanged, the number of armies we are deploying is increasing. In fact, our attack efficiency is declining.
Casualties are also increasing.
I think everyone can’t deny this point."
The various Crowns nodded slightly. As Richard spoke, they pulled up the frontline army movent data.
The massive data might seem complex to ordinary people, but for the Dominators, they only need to think a little to draw conclusions.
What Richard said was indeed true.
"Then I want to raise a question: why is the attack efficiency declining?" Richard continued, "Our technology has always been progressing. From the start of the war until now, our army’s equipnt has undergone multiple iterations.
Our tactics are also evolving, with targeted strategies for Furnace n, Titans, fortress battles, field battles, air battles...and so on.
These strategies are all constructed by the World Masters of the best at warfare in each civilization, whose advanced nature is beyond doubt.
Moreover, the number of our veteran soldiers is increasing, and the quality of new soldiers is also enhancing.
From every angle, our attack speed should be getting faster and faster.
However, the facts don’t quite align with this result."
"Because the Civilization Devourer is also advancing," the Eternal God King spoke, "This monster isn’t a mindless entity."
Richard sneered at this remark.
"If it were that formidable, our casualties wouldn’t just be these numbers.
While the Civilization Devourer can learn and develop different strategies against enemies, that’s aid at the Dominators.
The troops our lower layers face are nothing but past phantoms. The Civilization Devourer can control their consciousness, but it cannot manage everyone’s mind.
Our increased casualties and reduced attack efficiency are due to a very simple reason—"
Saying this, Richard paused, and only when he saw the three Divine Kings looking at him did he continue, "The reason is targeted equipnt and tactics.
The Gods Civilization troops use the Gods System equipnt, Wizard Civilization troops use the Wizard System equipnt, and the Abyss Demons use the Abyss System equipnt.
No matter how good our tactics or elite our soldiers, facing targeted weapons increases casualties.
If you don’t believe it, just look at the war reports to see if the reports on targeted weapons have been increasing."
The hall fell into silence for a mont.
With nearly the sa authority, they naturally saw the sa data. The things Richard ntioned, they found before he even finished talking.
"This is indeed the case," the Alchemy Crown spoke slowly, "However, this doesn’t change the fact that your idea is too radical.
Although it seems that offensive efficiency has decreased and casualties have increased, for us, these casualties are necessary sacrifices.
The Civilization Devourer’s power at this point hasn’t reached a crushing level. If we don’t expand our victories now, even if the army’s combat power later improves, it may not surpass the achievents at this ti.
Moreover, our technology is developing, and the Civilization Devourer’s technology is not.
Later on, it’s not impossible for us to overco issues with targeted equipnt."
The words of the Alchemy Crown Throne sound quite reasonable; rging the legion sacrifices the current combat strength to gain future fighting power.
The idea of the Alchemy Crown Throne is to seize the current potential and weaken the Civilization Devourers as much as possible. Right now, technological developnt is surging, and by then the constraints of equipnt might cease to exist.
However, Richard knows that this opinion is not just a difference in concept; it is more the beginning of war.
The Alchemy Crown Throne has already declared war on him.
This choice might not be very wise, because power struggles are cruel; once a fight begins, the final result is bound to be a life-or-death situation.
But with destiny’s help, Richard will definitely survive until the death of the Civilization Devourer or until it returns to its peak.
However, this choice is not completely irrational.
Richard is not just a Wizard; if he is willing to give up his wizard identity, the gates of the Abyss Civilization are open to him at any ti.
If he wishes, joining the Gods Civilization is also possible. Even for the Natural Federation, he can join as well.
Richard can choose from many leadership positions; there is no need to fight to the death for the leadership position of the Wizard Civilization.
At the sa ti, the Shaping Energy Crown also expressed its stance.
"I think what the Alchemy said makes a lot of sense; rging the legion is too radical."
Richard glanced at the Shaping Energy Crown beside him, his facial expression unchanged. Although a bit surprised, he had indeed considered this outco.
"Then let’s vote by raising hands," Richard calmly said.
Although he is not very willing to hold a vote, he can only do this now. If they do not proceed with the legion rger, the casualties of the Wizard Alliance will greatly increase.
This increase is not just about more deaths; it will also strengthen the power of the Civilization Devourers.
Death is equivalent to failure; defeated beings will all beco food for the Civilization Devourers.
As for technological suppression... Richard can only say that people have their limitations. The technological explosion brought by the legacy of predecessor civilizations has already blinded the eyes of the Alchemy Crown Throne.
The technological explosion won’t exist forever.
It is absolutely impossible for them to directly surpass the Predecessor Civilization Alliance, such a sub-colony-level civilization, and leap directly to beco a colony-level civilization.
But just as Richard was pondering how the legion rger should be conducted, the Shaping Energy Crown suddenly spoke: "Miracle, this matter cannot be put to a vote."
"Oh? Is there sothing special about this issue?"
Richard slightly raised an eyebrow, feeling a sudden sense of unease.
The Shaping Energy Crown said ominously, "Miracle, you’ve overlooked one point. In the rules we drafted, the proposal of major issues needs to be submitted as a unit of civilization.
This military reform belongs to a major issue."
"Major issue?" Richard furrowed his brow, "I don’t rember there being such a clause in the alliance rules."
"Because at the ti, you were out of contact," Beelzebub suddenly said, "According to your account, you should have been in the Natural Federation at the ti, still a piece of at."
Richard’s expression turned a bit somber. In the latest version of the alliance rules, he found a record of this rule. And its drafting ti was precisely when he was out of contact.
In the initial version of the alliance regulations, if a Dominator is out of contact, it is regarded as a temporary sacrifice.
The convening of the alliance eting will not be affected.
The Alchemy Crown Throne’s voice was low: "Miracle, Shaping and I both disagree with your proposal. Unless you leave the Wizard Civilization, this proposal will not appear on the agenda."
Listening to the final announcent of the Alchemy Crown Throne, Richard leaned back, resting against the back of the chair.
"It seems you were prepared all along."
The Shaping Energy Crown and the Alchemy Crown Throne were silent, but undoubtedly, this rule was drafted to guard against Richard.
"Since it can’t be done, forget it. Let’s talk about a new topic."
Richard exhaled, silently shifting the topic. But in his heart, his depression had not dissipated.
"Such manipulation of the rules... truly worthy old wizards."
The two Crown Thrones anticipated that Richard would not destroy the alliance he had built with his own hands, counting on Richard to "consider" the bigger picture.
The reason Richard has been able to serve as an ambassador to various civilizations, apart from being the most suitable, is primarily because the Alchemy Crown Throne and the Shaping Energy Crown have set traps for him.
"Since you manipulate rules, then I can only break them with strength," Richard said secretly in his heart.
The greatest reason this strategy from the two Crown Thrones could succeed, aside from counting on Richard’s thoughts, was Richard’s insufficient strength.
Richard, although possessing Breaking Limit Level combat power, does not have enough dominance over the united forces of the two Crown Thrones.
But if he could suppress the two Crown Thrones, today’s situation would not have occurred.
Richard sighed slightly in his heart: "I still need to break the limit."
