577 Invasion Plan (1/2)

”I am glad you mention this topic, but my plan isn't really that extraordinary.”

Although the Emperor was proud of his plan, he didn't feel that was something that a Great God could consider extraordinary since it heavily relied on high numbers of ninth level immortals.

”I will decide if it is extraordinary or not. Speak.”

The Emperor didn't dare to stay silent after Yale's order, so he started to speak.

”Well, the plan consists of using our superior numbers to isolate the strongest ones of the universe first, and then conquer the rest. This is quite standard when conquering universes, but it is difficult to do without sacrifices, so we will tire them slowly instead of battling directly. I have trained a lot of ninth level immortals to overpower them enough to reduce the damages to the minimum if we follow this strategy. Of course, it isn't like if the people of that universe have any special value, I am just being cautious since there are also several other universes planning to invade it, and the most we kill or capture, the better. After all, the experts of that universe are all quite weak despite the report I got yesterday saying that their strength is slightly better than I expected, if we don't plan it well, other universes might catch them first.”

When attacking newly ascended universes, usually, other universes were more threatening than the invaded universe itself.

There was an unwritten rule that everything would be divided based on how much a universe contributed to the invasion, so killing or capturing the strongest ones was usually the best way to obtain great benefits.

If a universe tried to break that rule, all the others most likely would start a war against that one, so it was a strange situation to happen.

The Emperor thought of breaking that rule when starting to plan the invasion, but he decided that it was too risky, so he instead changed it for a plan to trap the strongest ones and increase his share.

Killing the strongest ones might take time, and the loses could be huge, but if it was just trapping them, he believed that with huge numbers, it wouldn't be a problem.

Once the strongest ones were isolated, it would be just a matter of endurance, which the Emperor believed that he would win since he could rotate the members enduring the attacks and just delay the end of the battle while playing safe.

Moreover, he didn't believe that any other universe would try to steal those he captured after seeing his army.

After hearing the details of the plan, Yale really felt that the Emperor was a coward.

With so much strength, he could just attack directly, and it would have better results, but the Emperor was a man that didn't like even the slightest risk.

However, at the same time, Yale knew that the Emperor, even if it was by coincidence, had the strategy that could harm Alrein the most.

Due to the curse, killing Alrein wasn't something that could be done just with high numbers, so trapping him relying on high numbers while conquering the rest was the best way if someone wanted to invade.

”I know that my plan makes me look like a coward, but the safety of my subordinates is more important than the results.”

Of course, that was a huge lie. The Emperor didn't care about their well-being, they were just good tools to use.

The Emperor just didn't want to lower the strength of his army too much because he feared that someone would attack him if that happened.

”I see that you are careful. Being this careful, I believe that you already know who your targets will be to capture and their information, right?”

Yale was curious about how strong those he knew had turned while he had been away.

However, he also wanted to test how much information could obtain those planning to invade.

The Emperor laughed before speaking.

”Of course! Yesterday I finally received information about the strongest ones, and I have already chosen our targets. Do you want to hear who they are?”

Seeing Yale's interest on the topic, the Emperor was starting to imagine how great it would be if Yale supported him on the invasion. Just with his presence, the rest of the universes would be unable to act against him.

”Speak.”

Yale was expressionless as if he didn't care about the topic but decided to hear it for fun.

”Our first target id the owner of that universe, Alrein. He is the strongest in that universe, so capturing him will give us the best rewards. However, we can't kill him before sharing the universe resources with the rest, so it is quite a difficult target. Half of the army will just be there to stop him.”

If he killed Alrein, it wouldn't be difficult obtaining everything for himself, but that would anger the other universes, as he wouldn't be able to share it afterward.
