Chapter 1162: Chapter 333: Confronting Head-On!
Because he couldn’t see any abnormalities from Deputy Chairperson Jing, Fang Ze temporarily withdrew his thoughts and started chatting with several elders.
Just like the message conveyed by the elders choosing this conversation location for Fang Ze: this conversation was actually just a private exchange, so the elders were very relaxed, discussing only trivial topics.
Such as Fang Ze’s living environment since childhood; how his subsequent work went; whether the pressure is high now that Fang Ze is in charge of a large district; and his impressions of the Central State.
Fang Ze speculated that the elders used these topics as a start for two main purposes.
First, they wanted to shorten the distance between both parties.
Second, since Fang Ze was born in the slums of a lower-level city and has no official records, the elders wanted to establish a basic impression of Fang Ze through this information.
These topics did not involve any secrets, and Fang Ze had nothing to hide, so he spoke truthfully.
After talking for about ten minutes, as the conversation between both parties gradually became more profound, the elders finally got to the main topic.
This time, it was Elder Meng, who is in charge of education and scientific research, who initiated the topic. After finishing the previous topic, he smiled kindly at Fang Ze and asked, “Fang Ze, what do you think about the current situation of humanity?”
Upon hearing Elder Meng’s words, Fang Ze immediately knew that the main topic had come. So he calmed his mind, subtly observed the expressions of the chairpersons, then after a brief thought, slowly uttered four words, “Edge of the cliff.”
Hearing Fang Ze’s evaluation, Elder Meng immediately smiled and said, “Talk about your thoughts?”
Fang Ze nodded and then analyzed, “Don’t be misled by humans currently occupying the Real World, possessing vast lands and abundant resources, and being protected by Spirit Realm Mountain, leaving them worry-free in the short term. But actually, they are precarious.”
“Although I am unaware of the current top-level combat power of human demigods, I have witnessed the grand spectacle of a hundred Venerables appearing from Heaven Beyond the Heavens.”
“Even if Heaven Beyond the Heavens is a concentration of Outer Realm Venerables, a rough estimate suggests that there are at least a few hundred Venerables in the entire Outer Realm. This is an absolute unavoidable disaster for the current human world.”
“The reason these Venerables have not immediately attacked the human world is that they are restraining each other, all wanting the others to act first to reap the benefits themselves.”
“Once the war reaches its most critical point, most of them will definitely let go of their prejudices and join forces against us.”
At this point, Fang Ze paused and added, “This is not something unprecedented in the history of domain warfare.”
He said, “To put it bluntly, the Venerables currently look down on humans and think that humans pose little threat. So they act chaotically and randomly. But even so, their random actions require humans to respond with all their might. Doesn’t this prove that humans are indeed on the edge of a cliff?”
Hearing Fang Ze’s analysis, Elder Meng and the other elders exchanged a glance and then, smiling broadly, said, “It seems that Fang Ze, you are well-versed in matters of the Outer Realm. What are your thoughts on how to win this war?”
Hearing Elder Meng’s question, Fang Ze did not answer immediately. He was not here for an interview, but for an equal dialogue. Moreover, he wanted to know the federal strategies. So he countered, “What strategies does the Federation have for winning this war?”
Hearing Fang Ze’s counterquestion, Elder Meng was taken aback for a second, then laughed heartily. The other chairpersons couldn’t help but smile as well.
At their position, everyone who meets and chats with them is almost always extremely cautious, contemplating every word for fear of saying something wrong. Encountering someone like Fang Ze, who dares to counter-question without answering, is truly rare.
However, precisely because of this, they appreciated Fang Ze even more. The Grand Chairperson, after looking at Fang Ze with smiling eyes, nodded to Elder Meng and said, “Since he asked, Old Meng, go ahead and talk about it.”
Receiving approval, Elder Meng nodded and then slowly began to speak.
He pointed to the technologically designed gray floor under everyone’s feet and asked Fang Ze, “Since you arrived in Central State, you must have seen a lot of technological products that other large districts and states do not have?”
Fang Ze nodded.
Then Deputy Chairperson Meng continued, “And in the recent battle with Yuan Gu, you should have also seen several forms of our Human Race’s military bases, right?”
Fang Ze nodded again and then commented, “Quite powerful. But the weaknesses are also very obvious.”
“The core technology of these military bases should be the one that simulates Absolute Pinnacle experts, combining Power of Faith and Power of Laws to form False God Power.”
“This allows the military bases to possess strength comparable to demigods during battles.”
“However, compared to ordinary demigods, these military bases are too large. They are only suitable for providing long-range fire support or performing guard duties. Once they engage closely in battle with demigods, they are likely to be at the receiving end of attacks.”
At this point, Fang Ze paused and then added, “Furthermore, I never understood how the strength of these military bases is classified.”
