In the meeting room.

Blake, who has been responsible for overall front-line command, stood up and started operating the projection equipment.

"Although our confrontation line with the Ratmen is quite long, overall, the Ratmen are currently on the defensive."

As he explained, the map was continuously zoomed in and out with key highlights.

Everyone present had more or less relevant knowledge and experience, so they could naturally understand.

"The reason the Ratmen are taking a defensive stance is simple—it's to stall our progress.

Once we launch an offensive, they will try their utmost to block us. At this stage, the Ratmen's desire to attack is extremely low; they have very clear objectives."

While Blake spoke, he operated the map to zoom in again, and the image finally froze at the center of the Ratmen's occupied area.

"According to the intelligence we obtained after infiltration, this place is likely the core nest of the Ratmen—Rat Nest City, where there is a towering abandoned spire.

It is said that the Evil Rat's body is at the top of the spire, where it blesses the entire Rat colony through this high tower."

"As far as we know, according to the Night Watcher's power rating standards, the Evil Rat's level is Level 15.

But unlike a normal, truly top-tier Legendary powerhouse, the Evil Rat is a premonitory Evil God, appearing prematurely influenced by the Four Gods, its power has yet to fully mature.

Nonetheless, its divine position as an Evil God won't change; though its power is somewhat diminished and suppressed, it's still far stronger than enemies of the same level of an ordinary nature.

Facing it, we must treat it as we would a genuine Evil God, with utmost seriousness."

No one present was surprised by this point of knowledge.

Especially those sitting at the same round table with Kana.

"I believe everyone can see that the reason for the Ratmen's current defensive posture is precisely to buy time for their Evil God.

Because the Evil Rat is compensating for the power it lacks due to early awakening, once it successfully recovers and becomes a fully capable Evil God...

By then, we might have to find a way to escape as soon as possible."

This is not an exaggeration; this is exactly what the Evil Rat is currently doing.

"Let's talk about the specific course of action; the severity of war we have long understood, and we are mentally prepared for its brutality," said a general.

Blake nodded.

"So, next, let me discuss our general plan. The number of Ratmen is extremely large, they have constructed about five defense lines on the periphery.

These five defensive lines intersect with each other, coupled with the advantage of terrain, capable of effectively blocking us.

Moreover, due to the interference of the Evil Rat's power, once we attack inside, don't expect to quickly transport troops through the Teleportation Gate. Because there, magic power is chaotic, spatial teleportation is extremely unstable, unable to guarantee safe transport."

As he said this, five different nodes appeared on the map, precisely encircling the main areas of the Ratmen.

"Therefore, our initial plan is to divide into seven different attack routes, launching attacks on the Ratmen's five defensive lines so they can't attend to other directions.

At sea, we will deploy newly built ships to drive the Ratmen out of the sea.

Once we gain sea advantage, all coastlines will be under our control, and we can then bypass behind the Ratmen and open up a new battlefield.

Only in this way will we have a chance to break through the Ratmen's internal defense lines, shatter their defensive circle while minimizing casualties."

Following this, further detailed explanations ensued. However, this is just an early stage plan of the war.

When fighting truly begins, various unexpected situations are inevitably going to occur, so this is just a macro-level rough plan.

Its emphasis is more on distributing tasks among different forces, gathering each power's troops to avoid dispersed strength.

Although the Order Covenant is a joint organization composed of multiple forces, it may not normally be so united, and command systems may have problems.

But never forget there are Night Watchers among us. As long as Night Watchers join the armies, the command system can rapidly integrate with Night Watchers as nodes.

Moreover, at this stage, the Night Watchers have an absolute advantage in leading forces.

Whether it's past victories or the training degree of the troops, this is enough proof.

Other forces have no objections to this point.

The meeting soon concluded.

Participants will return swiftly to their respective force areas through the Teleportation Gate, starting war mobilization and preparation.

This is a comprehensive war; when the Night Watchers decided to initiate this war, they simply could not do it without attracting attention from all sides.

Therefore, bold preparations are justified, as their war against the Ratmen has reached this crucial step.

Compared to the solid lines formed by these gathered Ratmen masses, conspiracies are unlikely to succeed; facing absolute numbers, vulnerabilities are easily exposed.

Their defense can only be forcefully torn open through sheer might.

...

Ring Tower City.

This massive city also began to operate rapidly, with large quantities of materials loaded onto vehicles, constantly sent to the front line.

Blake also quickly returned to the front line through the Teleportation Gate, with many war preparations needing to be carried out.

"How did the meeting go? Are we going to wage a comprehensive war?" Raelia immediately asked as he entered the military tent.

Looking at this battle-fanatic, Blake helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"Yes, that's right, it won't be long before you can fight to your heart's content on the battlefield and slaughter those loathsome rats."

"Um, I can't wait; this period has really been stifling for me," said Raelia as she stretched her body.

She felt that since she was promoted to a Legendary powerhouse, her actions were not as free as before.

Especially since Abis was also promoted, she often needed to be separated from her sister, feeling that the team was on the verge of breaking up.

Of course, she knew this was because the Night Watchers' Legendary Tier power was too scarce for the time being. Hadn't she noticed Alyris, who used to never leave Kana's side, now needed to run around executing tasks?

Thinking of this, Raelia looked at Blake with full displeasure.

"You, when on earth will you be promoted? You are the military commander and haven't reached the Legendary realm yet; how can that be?"

Hear Raelia's random complaints, Blake scratched his head.

"Huh? What's that got to do with me?"

He is the commander, not a charging general; his principal duty is arranging military logistics, discussing attack strategies.

It makes no sense for a commander to rush to the battlefield; that would be chaos.

However, he soon realized Raelia's reason for being upset.

Helplessly explained: "I also want to be promoted as soon as possible, but you need to know, I've gone from Level Three all the way up to Level Ten, hardly having any time to delve deeply into understanding my powers. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

To be honest, I'd prefer to master abilities related to group power; can you understand?"

"What do you mean?"

"Legendary powers are not solely for inner exploration. As a commander, leader... if nothing unexpected happens, I will be responsible in this area in the future as well.

So, I'm considering whether I could become that kind of special Legendary powerhouse, like a commander god, capable of granting some status advantages to the troops under my command."

"Huh?"

Raelia exclaimed.

Can that really be done?

Is it truly possible?
