Chapter 1061 -s 1010-1011: Turning the Tide of Life and Death, At the Top of the Merits Leaderboard, Two in One
For these questions, Wang Boan just smiled faintly after hearing them. He only needed to know that these people’s merits were assured and that the soldiers who died in battle could be settled. That was enough for him, as for the rest, Wang Boan genuinely didn’t care.
Over the many years he managed the border, Wang Boan commanded the Border Army, and although there had not been any major conflicts with the Demon Race, continuous minor skirmishes were relentless. Thus, he also knew that sometimes there could be cases of people taking undeserved credit for bravery. As long as it wasn’t a grave mistake, he would smoothly overlook it.
Knowing that the army’s morale was reliable, Wang Boan nodded, then began to discuss, "Next, let’s talk about how we should deploy our troops moving forward."
The War of Sealing Gods had already begun. Military deployment would wait until they had fortified this border, and then they would need to continue the offensive. However, the deployment of the Demon Race’s city defenses was intricate – how to deploy troops, and even whether to divide them, required careful consideration.
The Demon Domain was vast and boundless, its interior unexplored by the human race, filled with countless unknowns. Therefore, each step taken forward needed to be carried out with a Steady Strike, ensuring the supply lines were not severed, avoiding the entrapment of the entire army.
Therefore, according to Wang Boan’s thinking, the War of Sealing Gods was definitely not a short-term conflict. Facing the Demon Race, a formidable opponent that had contended with the human race for innumerable years, defeating them would not be an easy task, and certainly not something that could be achieved overnight.
They could achieve short-term victories, but in such a protracted struggle, even someone like Wang Boan, a commander, could not guarantee a win in every upcoming battle.
What he could ensure was that, to the best of his ability, he would achieve long-term victory on the overall situation, as well as ultimate victory.
Cultivators have long lives, and though they may seem like they had millions in their army now, Wang Boan saw this as just the beginning. To truly defeat the Demon Race and secure the ultimate victory for the human race, the warriors needed in the future would multiply – potentially by the tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even more.
As such, according to Wang Boan’s plan, the next step should be to proceed with a Steady Strike approach, using the Demon Race’s border as a base to expand over the entire Demon Domain. There was no need to be hasty, the territories must be fully absorbed, allowing the human race to grow stronger and lay a complete foundation for later victory.
