Chapter 824.2: Before the Battle
Of course, Heaven's contractors wouldn't be guarding the three stone bridges from the start. The guild leaders agreed that at the very beginning, they would try to establish a defense around the palace itself. If they couldn't hold this line of defense, they would immediately retreat to the stone bridges. If the stone bridges were eventually lost, they would simply retreat inside the palace.
And since the contractors from Apocalyptic Paradise needed to take over the core of the world, they would first have to break through the outer defense line, then break through the main defense line — three bridges, and, most troublesome of all, they would also need to break through to the seventh floor of the palace. They will have to clear floor after floor, which will lead to a large number of losses.
The difficulty of an assault was always several times greater than that of a defense. The contractors from Apocalyptic Paradise were at a great disadvantage even before the battle started.
If the contractors from the Reincarnation Paradise were the ones from the Apocalyptic Paradise, they would never have chosen this method of defending the core of the world. Of course, this method of defense was very good from the point of view of holding territories, but it had one fatal flaw — the lack of escape opportunities. If the contractors from the Reincarnation Paradise were to retreat from the outer and main defenses to the inside of the palace, they would literally have no escape route left. If the Queen decided to set up such a defense, more than 70% of the contractors under her command would immediately try to change this decision..
If the contractors from the Apocalyptic Paradise could actually reach the 7th floor of the palace, it would mean that almost all the contractors from the Reincarnation Paradise had already died by this point. Without killing all the contractors in their path, they literally won't be able to reach the 7th floor of this palace.
The Reincarnation Paradise contractors ' methods were quite extreme. They were going to achieve either a complete victory or a crushing defeat.
To take the core of the world, the contractors from the Apocalyptic Paradise will have to kill all the contractors from the Reincarnator Paradise. Only by killing everyone in their path would they be able to take the world core for themselves, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to enter the palace, let alone return the world core.
After agreeing on a strategy, several group leaders and all those on the seventh floor walked out of the palace.
Hundreds of contractors were gathered on the performance platform in front of the palace, all of them looking at the leaders of different factions.
After Yang Chen explained the strategy, the contractors only thought for a moment, after which they almost unanimously agreed to the plan. As for the objections, no one even said a word against it.
If they lost and the world core fell into the enemy's hands, it would still result in their death. Given that they were going to die anyway, trying to escape or think of a more flexible defense strategy was simply not worth it. Instead of thinking about escape routes, it would be better if they thought about setting up traps and thinking about how they would act when the battle started.
After receiving orders from their leaders, the members of various guilds and groups began to spread out to form the first line of defense. As for the singles, the melee fighters were distributed among the members of different guilds and groups, while the singles who had good sniper rifles or long-range magic remained in the palace and occupied the free heights.
Su Xiao remained standing in front of the stone staircase of the palace. He wasn't going to act first, as he was well aware that one of the guild leaders would come to talk to him.
— Byakuya, although you are not my subordinate, this is not the time to hide your secrets, " Yang Chen said and sat down a few meters away from him on the stone stairs of the palace, after which he looked at the contractors who were installing defensive structures inside the palace.
This huge palace was a huge maze, so setting up traps here and there definitely wouldn't hurt.
— I don't have any free time at the moment. There is one very strong opponent that I will take on.
Su Xiao was waiting for the Prince. He believed that the Prince himself would knock on his door.
— A strong opponent? Can you tell me about its characteristics? I might be able to help you, you see, I have quite a lot of information about contractors from Apocalyptic Paradise.
Since they were on the same side and Su Xiao was the first to provide them with a map of the ruins, Yang Chen wasn't going to hide anything.
— He is a summoner of mechanical creatures... But before Su Xiao could finish, Yang Chen said, " And he uses a whistle to control a metal arrow?" Plus it can swap places with its creatures?
— That's right, you've met him before?
— Of course, " Yang Chen replied and pushed his collar to the side. There was a coin-sized scar on his collarbone. — Earlier, I was careless and almost got tricked by this guy. Are you going to take it on yourself?
— Yes, I fought him earlier, but he was able to get away.
