Chapter 691: Chapter 289 Torri Fortress_2
Bai Yi finished her research with satisfaction, temporarily putting aside the enhancement of the Sea Son.
In a week, many things had happened in this world, and she had gained more understanding of it.
The Forest Elves sent abroad had successfully infiltrated the Human Alliance. As the main force traditionally opposing demons, their appearance was not surprising.
In fact, what puzzled humans was the Forest Elves’ reluctance to engage, even before she arrived in this instance.
There was even a suspicion that something was wrong within the Forest Elves, which is why, when Bai Yi first descended into this world, the Forest Elf who discovered her immediately inquired whether Ju was a human envoy.
With the gene enhancement provided by Bai Yi to the Forest Elves sent this time, everything made sense.
The Forest Elves were not avoiding battle!
They were seeking a way to strengthen themselves, to contribute more combat power in the war!
Exactly! How could the Forest Elves who had always charged at the forefront avoid battle!
The seemingly abnormal situations suddenly linked and explained each other, allowing the Forest Elves to fully integrate into the human main force.
As rare talents with healing abilities, they quickly gained trust with their considerable combat power and longstanding reputation.
Even the underground fungus blanket they brought was not suspected and was smoothly laid down.
During this period, the fungus blanket had already sent back a lot of intelligence, such as the abilities of those 9th Rank fighters on the battlefield and the personnel movements in various places, all reported back one by one.
The former became the foundation for Bai Yi’s operational planning, while the latter was more like insurance.
Mainly, it was to prevent any oversight in the insect swarm leading to potential inspections, masking them before any inspection arrives.
Fortunately, this second function had never been utilized.
Now, except for the Central Mountain Range which remained untouched, the other two continents had successfully established the surveillance network of the insect swarm, incorporated into the communication network of the fungus blanket.
Furthermore, whether the demons were too unfortunate or the insect swarm laid out too detail, they managed to discover numerous demon squads within this week.
To avoid gaining attention, the insect swarm cooperated in eliminating these discovered demon squads, providing ample data for the Mechanical Brain Worm’s giant cannon.
The only pity was that these demon squads were led only by 8th Rank, failing to provide her a chance to test her abilities on a 9th Rank.
But thinking about it, only the 8th Rank could blend in the chaos, whereas the 9th Rank fighters, being numbered, could not escape so easily.
Extracting all intelligence gathered from various fronts over the week from the network, Bai Yi finally had a sufficient understanding of this world’s true power.
"Not to be underestimated..."
Bai Yi sighed, suddenly feeling that the strength she accumulated over the week wasn’t substantial.
Just as she initially predicted, the Magic Empire relied on magic, being extremely developed in all aspects, especially in alchemy, possessing rich knowledge and various alchemical equipment.
However, this aspect could not be considered a threat to her, as these alchemical devices could not compare with her current technology. The real threat came from the strong fighters of the Maga Empire.
"Calculating only humans, there are 25 9th Rank fighters, adding 31 from the demons, the number doubles. Though they are pseudo-9th Rank, easily countered, it’s too many..."
"This doesn’t even include over 150 8th Rank and more from the 7th Rank..."
These forces still stood despite suffering losses recently.
Calculating, even only considering the 7th Rank, combining all 7th Rank combat power within the territory, the number is several times that of the 7th Rank heroes under her..."
Even if she now possesses the giant cannon capable of directly killing these pseudo 8th Rank and pseudo 9th Rank, facing this quantity all at once is overwhelming.
"Luckily, neither side is aware of my existence, which is my greatest advantage.
Initially planned to intervene directly won’t work, as the frontline battles are fiercely contested; any direct appearance may be seen as an enemy by both sides, under joint attack, which would be too disadvantageous...
I’ll have to adopt a new strategy!"
She understood her current positioning clearly; a direct appearance results in both sides unfamiliar with her, posing a significant chance of being simultaneously bullied as an enemy.
A glimmer of light flashed through Bai Yi’s eyes, her magic power swiftly enhancing her thinking capability, soon Bai Yi devised a plan.
"Although direct engagement risks a dual attack, the battlefield’s scope spans across vast mountains.
I can entirely use it to my advantage by only revealing myself on one side.
This way, I can appear before the demons as a human, and before the humans as a demon!
In turn, facing only one faction at a time, and pinning blame on the other, as they violently clash, essentially foolproof.
As for disguise, with my minion’s form, impersonating a demon is definitely feasible, the fungus blanket cased over the giant cannon makes it undoubtedly demon to Jesus!
Besides, camouflaging as a human is equally simple, removing the fungus blanket over the giant cannon yields a human-tech appearance, to align with Maga style, merely adding some magic runes atop the cannon.
