Chapter 782: 191. Rejuvenation Society is Confused (6000 words)_2

Fang Ze’s convoy arrived at the Jia Family’s banquet location as scheduled, with Second Uncle Jia and his daughter Lixiang waiting early at the restaurant entrance.

At the same time, the Sima Family’s convoy also arrived at Fang Ze’s manor. Without even asking, they domineeringly blocked the entrance of the manor, making it impossible to enter or exit…

…..

7:30 PM.

When the atmosphere in both the state capital and Emerald City was on the verge of exploding.

Qingshan City, slum area, the wooden house where Miaomiao lived.

Sima Liu once again donned a black robe and appeared out of thin air inside the wooden house.

However, after surveying the scene of the wooden house, he was surprised to find only Zhixi inside, with Miaomiao nowhere to be seen.

Noticing the absence of one person, Sima Liu’s gaze fell on Zhixi and he inquired, “Where is the other person?”

Hearing Sima Liu’s question, Zhixi slightly bowed, and then replied, “Master. The messenger conveyed his order the night before, Miaomiao will not accompany us tonight to Yunlan State. So she went to handle other matters.”

Sima Liu pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then slightly nodded, “Okay.”

He then asked, “It’s almost 8 o’clock, have the people meant to leave tonight gathered?”

Zhixi nodded in response, “Reporting to Master. We gathered everyone in Qingshan City two days ago upon knowing about the retreat.”

“This afternoon, we gathered everyone again.”

Upon hearing this, Sima Liu gestured with his hand, saying, “Then let’s go.”

Zhixi acknowledged with an “Hmm” and then took the lead, exiting the wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, Zhixi looked at the pitch-black street, clapped his hands, and suddenly, people in black robes and black masks emerged neatly from alleys and streets.

Their discipline was evidently strong, lining up systematically in front of the two, eventually filling the entire street.

Seeing this scene, Sima Liu couldn’t help but be a bit surprised. This level of discipline had only been seen in the Federal Defense Team.

‘They’re promising seeds… With a few hundred of them as junior officers, a team of tens of thousands can be easily formed.’ fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Thinking of this, Sima Liu couldn’t help but praise the training methods of these two girls.

However, as his gaze swept over those present, he noticed something amiss. He looked at Zhixi and said, “The number of people is incorrect? Missing many?”

Not denying Sima Liu’s observation, Zhixi nodded and said, “We’ve trained a total of 452 Awakeners during this period.”

“There are 305 present now. The remaining 100 were taken by Miaomiao.”

Without waiting for Sima Liu to ask, she continued, “Miaomiao and I discussed at length and believed that ordinary believers are the foundation of the Devil Sect, and under no circumstances should they be abandoned.”

“Therefore, we decided to adopt your suggestion: leaving some Awakeners to protect those 2000 plus ordinary believers.”

“Of course, we also made some modifications to your plan. For instance, we felt that a few Awakeners were too few, at least 100 should be left.”

“Additionally, we believed that having several thousand believers gathered together after we leave would make them an easy target despite being protected by over a hundred Awakeners.”

“So we decided to split them up. Those 2000 believers are divided into 50 teams, each with around 40 people. Each team with 2 Awakeners will leave Qingshan City tonight and infiltrate over a hundred lower-level cities in Xida State.”

“Slum areas in lower-level cities are typically neglected, usually controlled by gangs, small families, or desperados.”

“Two Awakeners and 40 trained believers are sufficient to establish a foothold and secure a place.”

“Each team will also have a communication device to maintain single-line contact with Miaomiao in Xida State, but not between themselves. This way, dispersing the target and eliminating mutual contact, the safety of believers is maximized.”

After hearing Zhixi’s words, Sima Liu pondered carefully and then felt somewhat alarmed.

This plan was indeed excellent, transforming a disadvantage into an advantage: those believers infiltrating lower-level cities won’t merely hide, but also act as seeds of the Devil Sect, taking root and expanding in the slum areas.

Initially, when the Devil Sect faced danger, Fang Ze and Sima Liu’s idea was to preserve surviving core forces, sacrificing others to avoid affecting the bigger picture. This would have resulted in a devastating blow to the Devil Sect’s recent expansion in Xida State.

But now, with Zhixi’s modifications, not only is the Devil Sect’s influence in Xida State preserved, it may further expand.

‘This girl is remarkable….’

Sima Liu gave Zhixi a deep look, then nodded and said, “I’ll just ensure you leave, as for the rest, you decide.”

Seeing Sima Liu agree, Zhixi felt a sense of relief.

Like Miaomiao’s concerns this afternoon, Zhixi worried Sima Liu might reject her plan and insist on adhering to the original retreat plan. Given Sima Liu’s higher status, Zhixi and Miaomiao would definitely be unable to refuse if it happened, thus Zhixi had prepared numerous explanations to address Sima Liu’s potential inquiries.

Adhering to the current retreat plan may cause believers to doubt the sect’s doctrine, among other plan details.

For instance, why does she think several thousand people can leave Qingshan City tonight?

Because a battle would ensue around Qingshan City tonight, prompting security forces and the Federal Defense Team to investigate, thus weakening city defenses. Even if they don’t investigate, Miaomiao would report the incident, forcing them to check, creating an opportunity.

For example, why is the combination of 350+100 Awakeners allocated this way?

Because the 350 Awakeners prepared for departure are all from the Miaohua Tribe, and the 100 Awakeners remaining in Xida State are all from Qingshan City.
