Now the Ninja clan only has one Jōnin left, how can they resist five Earth-level powerhouses?
Thinking again, the reason the fighting in Dongying has not yet ended is probably because the Ninja clan relies on this one Earth-level powerhouse to stubbornly support it.
And the other two forces are determined to kill the Ninja clan's last hope. Once they succeed, it is equivalent to winning…
"Okay, I can agree to announce the news on the battle network, but what will the Viper mercenary group get?"
After a long time, Kezela slowly said.
The unequal strength between the Ninja clan and their opponents, coupled with his inability to break through and provide support, made him completely lose confidence in the Ninja clan, believing that the destruction of the Ninja clan was only a matter of time.
Since that was the case, he might as well make plans early.
"Benefits?"
"Naturally, there are benefits. I promise you as an Earth-level deacon of the Dark Association that I will help the Viper mercenary group overcome this difficult period!"
"In other words, prevent you from being annexed by the Bright Hall, or destroyed! That's all!"
Hearing the voice, Kezela fell into a dilemma.
He wanted to ask for more benefits, but the problem was that Po Xiao's attitude was quite firm. "That's all" meant that Po Xiao would not give more treatment.
Such conditions seemed more like alms from the strong to the weak.
If it were in the past, even without cooperating with the Ninja clan, he would have refused without hesitation.
But now, the Viper mercenary group had suffered heavy losses in the continuous breakout. Without strong reinforcements, they were destined to be destroyed or annexed.
In other words, he had no way out.
Thinking this, Kezela gritted his teeth and said, "Good! I promise you! I hope you keep your word!"
"Of course, I will immediately mobilize the Caesar mercenary group to directly station on the Ten Thousand Snakes Island. Will that put your mind at ease?" Ye Cangtian said.
"Not at ease!"
Upon hearing this, Kezela's expression changed again, and he said, "If I let the Caesar mercenary group in, and you have evil intentions, won't we all be slaughtered?"
Kezela's worries were not unreasonable.
Although the Viper mercenary group was heavily damaged, with the natural dangers of Ten Thousand Snakes Island, they still had a chance to resist external enemies.
If they let everyone in, those natural dangers would become useless.
The other side would face a flat terrain, and the Viper mercenary group would have no ability to resist at all.
"Kezela, you seem to have forgotten the current situation!"
"Do you think you have the right to choose?"
"You only have the path of trusting me now!"
"Think about it from another angle, if I kill you now, will the Viper mercenary group still exist?"
A cold smile flickered in Ye Cangtian's eyes.
The other party wanted to keep the Caesar mercenary group out and fight the Bright Hall Legion in the sea. How could that be possible!
Without the advantage of natural dangers and terrain, facing the Tamu mercenary group with almost double the troop strength, the Caesar mercenary group was destined to suffer heavy losses.
Although the Caesar mercenary group was a subordinate force of the Dark Association, their weakening had no impact on China.
But Ye Cangtian could not accept such a weakening.
Firstly, it would show his incompetence, and he would likely be neglected by the Dark Association in the future, making it impossible for him to enter the core circle of the Dark Association and control more resources and information.
Secondly, not everyone in the Caesar mercenary group was wicked. They were forced to obey orders just to make a living.
Therefore, there was no need to hunt them down.
For this reason, Ye Cangtian did not want the Caesar mercenary group to suffer too many losses under his command, at least to ensure that the sacrifices of the vast majority were meaningful.
On the other side, listening to Po Xiao's words, Kezela's expression changed again.
After a long time, he sighed and agreed to Ye Cangtian's proposal.
The main reason was that Ye Cangtian did not attack him, which gave him a trace of trust, and he decided to take a gamble.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian also showed a satisfied smile and said, "Congratulations on making the right decision. Don't worry, once the crisis passes, the Caesar mercenary group will withdraw immediately. I guarantee this!"
Ye Cangtian did not want to provide too much support to the Viper mercenary group, lest they become dependent and develop good feelings, and eventually truly submit to the Dark Association.
"Okay, I will await your arrival here!"
Kezela responded and then, in front of Ye Cangtian, posted the information on the battle network.
Ye Cangtian said nothing more about this. He took advantage of the night and left Ten Thousand Snakes Island again.
…
The sky began to brighten.
When Miller arrived at the command post, he was stunned.
He had just received some news and was about to notify Po Xiao, but he couldn't find Po Xiao anywhere, neither in his quarters nor in the command post.
For a moment, he was a little puzzled. Weren't they supposed to sit back and watch the tigers fight? What was he doing now?
"You're here?"
Just as Miller was wondering whether to send someone to search, Po Xiao's voice came from behind him.
He immediately turned around and walked forward with some excitement, saying, "Lord Po Xiao, I have received a piece of tremendous good news!"
"Hmm? Tell me about it." Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
"The Viper mercenary group has severed ties with the Ninja clan and promised not to provide any support to the Ninja clan!"
Upon seeing this news, Miller was extremely excited.
This meant that their mission was successfully completed.
At the same time, the actions of the Viper mercenary group had completely pulled out the last straw of hope for the Ninja clan!
This was the most fatal mental attack on the still-defending Ninja clan, and perhaps the fighting in Dongying would be completely resolved soon.
"Heh heh, you saw the news on the battle network, didn't you?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's teasing voice, Miller was immediately stunned.
He glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Sir, you already know?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said with a teasing smile, "Not only do I know, but I was the one who asked Kezela to announce the news…"
Huh?
With that sentence, Miller was completely dumbfounded.
In his opinion, the Viper mercenary group felt that there was no hope, so they did this to dissuade the outer Tamu mercenary group and thus escape disaster.
But he never expected that all of this was because of Po Xiao.
Thinking about Po Xiao not returning all night, it did seem somewhat credible.
Thinking of this, Miller quickly stepped forward and asked, confused, "Sir, didn't you say to stay put and watch the tigers fight? Why did you..."
"Circumstances have changed."
"It was possible to sit back and watch the tigers fight and let them wear each other down before, but now it's not possible!"
"If this continues, the Bright Hall may be the first to conquer the Viper mercenary group by force, achieving annexation!"
"If they succeed, do you think we will still have a chance to disrupt the Bright Hall's plans?"
This…
Listening to Ye Cangtian's words, Miller began to ponder.
If the Bright Hall got in first, with less than two legions of troops, coupled with the natural dangers of Ten Thousand Snakes Island, the strength of a single legion like Caesar's would not be enough to do anything.
"As expected, you are far-sighted, sir!"
Miller gave Ye Cangtian a thumbs-up and continued, "However, I believe that the effect would be better if we made a move after the Tamu mercenary group launched the general attack!"
"Idiot, foolish!"
Ye Cangtian glared at Miller and said irritably, "Your idea will only severely damage the Tamu mercenary group and the Cobra mercenary group, and many brothers will die. Besides that, what benefits will you gain!"
Uh…
Seeing that Po Xiao was angrily revealing his inner thoughts, Miller immediately shut his mouth.
He knew that the other party had not considered this situation, but had simply not chosen it.
"You must remember, at the premise of minimal consumption, gaining the greatest benefit is the most profitable deal!"
"At the same time, you must remember that force is always the last resort, and only attacking the heart is the best strategy!"
"Now providing support to the Viper mercenary group is like sending charcoal in the snow, winning their favor. Is it difficult to annex them?"
Seeing Miller remain silent, Ye Cangtian snorted and said slowly.
Although Miller was a soldier, with a bad temper, he was still a decent person.
If he could be used, it would be equivalent to planting a nail within the Caesar mercenary group, which would surely play a significant role in the future.
Therefore, he was willing to spend more time and effort to win the other party's favor and loyalty.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir. Miller will surely bear it in mind from now on!"
Hearing Po Xiao's explanation, Miller quickly cupped his hands and bowed.
It was no joke, if it were other Earth-level deacons, they would only issue orders and would not allow others to question them, let alone answer questions for their subordinates!
In comparison, Po Xiao's actions were more like those of a respected elder, which truly made him wholeheartedly convinced.
