Chapter 833: Deal Struck, Bodhisattva's Sneak Attack
Qin Feng chuckled softly, finding an excuse to refuse.
He didn't directly agree to Lacus's proposal, politely declining the offer to help!
Of course, he didn't completely reject it; otherwise, he would have just left. Why waste words with the other party?
The reason for saying these things was to play a trick of 'retreating to advance,' just to stir the other's emotions!
Although Ming Guang Bodhisattva had already set a strategy, deciding to start by helping this Fallen Angel Army to gain the favor of the Fallen Angels, this way negotiating with Lucifer Demon King would be easier.
However, helping is one thing, but jumping in to help immediately is not advisable; it's best to let them owe a favor first. Otherwise, silently helping may gain goodwill, but it wouldn't be as legitimate as helping after a request!
Certainly, Qin Feng wanted the Fallen Angels to request their assistance, but it depends on the individual!
For example, those twelve-wing Commander-level beings in the Fallen Angel Army could be Chesia the Charming Angel, Sela the Slaughter Angel, or even the Deputy Commander-level ten-wing Fallen Angels, who are far stronger than this Lacus!
Although Lacus has the fame of a minor genius, ultimately his strength is too low and his status insufficient, merely a six-wing Fallen Angel, considered mid-level in the Fallen Angel Army, unqualified to invite two Immortal Realm Bodhisattvas to act.
If that were the case, the strong ones of Biluo would be far too cheap!
Therefore, Qin Feng spoke these seemingly polite but actually subtly hinting words to the other party.
The six-wing Fallen Angel Lacus truly blushed.
Only then did he realize he was too anxious, worried that the Fallen Angel Army would be severely defeated and damaged, and directly calling for help, forgetting his status and position.
Indeed, he was just a small six-wing Angel; how could he have the right to invite two mighty beings capable of slaying top-level Divines!
He merely had more wings, not necessarily more face!
However, he also caught a distinct message from Qin Feng's words.
For instance, although Qin Feng said the Light God Realm was powerful, he also expressed that the world behind him was not afraid.
What does this indicate?
It indicates that the world behind the other party is equally powerful; otherwise, even a High Rank world wouldn't dare say such words!
Thinking of this, Lacus's heart couldn't help but thump wildly. Could it be...?
The world behind the other party is truly a Great World of formidable strength?
If so, no matter what, we must keep them there and get as close to them as possible.
If the Fallen Angel Clan could form a connection with the strong ones of the other world, even further becoming allies, their position within the Demon Realm would be more stable in the future, and they would also have more assurance against the Light God Realm's crusades!
Lacus originated from the Light God Realm, and after following Lucifer in rebellion against the Light Camp, he entered the Demon Realm, also a Great World.
Precisely because he stayed in a Great World, he understood more about the strength of the Great World.
Therefore, even though Qin Feng's words made him a bit embarrassed, he wasn't angry at all.
Because he knew, not only is this their biggest lifeline, but also a potential strong ally in the future.
Lacus rummaged through his words to exchange with Qin Feng, first stabilizing this Human Clan Cultivator, not allowing him to leave, while rapidly flapping his six wide wings towards the higher-ups.
He needed to report this matter as soon as possible.
This isn't something he can decide, nor can he invite the two mighty beings behind the Human Clan Cultivator; he can only quickly report the matter, asking the Commander to make a decision.
Of course, he dared not approach the battlefield where those Commanders were; the intensity of their battle was too strong, fearing he would be pulverized by the aftermath before getting close, leaving no remains!
Therefore, he turned around and flew directly to the rear to find a ten-wing Fallen Angel still commanding the battle!
The rest of the ten-wing Fallen Angels and most eight-wing Fallen Angels were already entangled by the strong enemies opposite, Lacus didn't dare go near, the only one he could safely approach was this Deputy Commander still forcibly directing the army to delay the defeat.
"Deputy Commander, I have an important report!"
Before approaching the core of the rear army, Lacus called out early, explaining his purpose.
Otherwise, he feared being mistaken for a deserter and slain by the Deputy Commander!
"What is it!"
The ten-wing Fallen Angel glared at him.
At this critical moment, if this guy dared to mess around with any trivial matters, he wouldn't hesitate to chop off his head to vent his anger!
But the words Lacus said next made him pause.
"Sir, when I accidentally stumbled into the Abyss years ago, I met a Human Clan Cultivator, who came from a strong world and is now traveling through the Void with two powerful entities, happened to pass by this Star Domain and noticed the commotion to inspect, and then I contacted them!"
Lacus had much to say, but now time was pressing, only picking the most critical parts.
He continued, "Those two beings he mentioned are extremely formidable, once slaying top-tier Divines, I wanted to invite them to assist, but due to my weak strength and low status, how could I invite beings of such realms, and thus was refused by them.
Sir, what do you think, if we report this to a few Commanders, would it be possible to invite those two beings to help if we pay some price?"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, the ten-wing Fallen Angel paused first, then quickly asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
"How dare I deceive you, sir!"
Lacus presented the Jade Talisman in his hand, saying, "This is the Treasure I use to communicate with that Human Clan Cultivator, the token I exchanged for with Feather back then.
"As long as you channel the Divine Soul Power into this item, you can receive the information transmitted by the other party, and also convey messages through the Divine Soul Power!"
"Good!"
The ten-winged Fallen Angel showed a joyful expression: "If this is true, and if we can indeed enlist the help of two powerful beings, I will remember this great merit you have done, and after returning to the Demon Realm, I will personally send you to the Dark Holy Spring to cultivate, aiding your promotion to eight wings!"
As he spoke, he reached out to take the Jade Talisman from Lacus' hand, examining it briefly, and with his strength, he quickly understood the Jade Talisman's purpose.
However, he did not directly contact the opposite side, for the Human Clan Cultivators had no knowledge of him—who knew who he was?
Most importantly, his status was still insufficient; he could not promise enough benefits to persuade Immortal Realm experts!
The ten-winged Fallen Angel, needing to command the War Formation, dared not leave. Otherwise, without a strong presence to suppress, the Light Angel Army would soon defeat the Fallen Angel Army.
At his level, he could easily transmit words across tens of thousands of miles, and he quickly reported the situation to several twelve-winged Fallen Angel Commanders engaged in battle.
Upon hearing this news, all the Fallen Angel Commanders were invigorated.
Though they knew that those two Human Clan experts might not be willing to offend the Light God Clan for them, since it's the only chance for a comeback, they had to try!
Sela, the Slaughter Angel, was the most direct. She wielded her War Sword, and with a flap of her wings, unleashed a series of fierce attacks, forcing the Power Angel Pawas to repeatedly fall back.
Then Sela reached out and, with a force, grabbed the Jade Talisman from the ten-winged Angel's hand across thousands of miles of space.
This Slaughter Angel not only had a violent temperament but also approached things straightforwardly.
She directly stated her identity through the Spirit Talisman and promised various benefits. If those two Human Clan experts were willing to help, the Fallen Angel Clan would owe them a favor and post-war provide various treasures as thanks.
On the other side, when Qin Feng noticed the conversation had switched to a twelve-winged Commander, he directly handed the Spirit Talisman to Ming Guang Bodhisattva, letting this Bodhisattva engage in equal conversation!
He had paved the path, and what remained was for Ming Guang Bodhisattva to perform, relying on the Bodhisattva's wisdom to handle matters flawlessly, while also seeking additional advantages.
Given his contribution, these benefits will surely include his share!
Ming Guang Bodhisattva glanced approvingly at him, increasingly appreciating Qin Feng. The earlier teasing remarks he made about the six-winged Fallen Angel skillfully turned their initiative to ally with the Fallen Angel Clan into an occasion where the Fallen Angels sought their aid.
After demonstrating their strength appropriately and revealing some of Biluo's secrets, it's likely that these Fallen Angels will proactively desire an alliance, without them needing to propose it.
After all, the status of the Fallen Angel Clan is indeed awkward.
Even though the other Great Demon Kings in the Demon Realm can accommodate them, what the lower Demon Clan thinks is another matter entirely.
So, if there's a chance to gain a powerful ally, they surely won't let it slip by!
In this manner, concerning alliance matters, Biluo can take the initiative, unlike earlier in the Great Light Temple where they directly sought the other for alliance.
Though it's merely a swap of primary and secondary roles, handled properly, Biluo will be able to seize the initiative in future alliances with the Fallen Angel Clan in warfare.
Ming Guang Bodhisattva sighed inwardly, this talent, alas, isn't a disciple of their Great Light Temple.
Otherwise, with this temperament and wit, he could tread far on the path of Buddhist Cultivation.
Now wasn't the time for such thoughts, he quickly gathered himself, his forehead glowing with wisdom, various thoughts spun within, weighing pros and cons, he promptly crafted the most suitable response based on Sela's conditions.
Sela is powerful in battle, but her nature is laden with violence and slaughter; she favors straightforward clarity and swiftly beheading opponents when confronting enemies.
This nature fits best on the battlefield but isn't suitable for negotiations.
Ming Guang Bodhisattva quickly deduced her character, thus neither beat around the bush nor made things overly difficult.
Moreover, Sela's straightforwardness meant she disliked negotiations and had no time for delays, thus offering enticing benefits even Mund Guang Bodhisattva found hard to refuse.
Ming Guang Bodhisattva merely mentioned willingness to risk offending the Light God Realm to make friends and agreed to assist.
However, he stipulated upfront that he wouldn't strike the ordinary Angels within the Light Angel Army, as slaying too many Angels would deeply offend the Light God Clan.
Thus, they would only help the Fallen Angels hold back two twelve-winged Light Angels, freeing two Commanders.
To this, Sela nodded without any hesitation.
As long as these two Human Clan experts were willing to assist!
In the Light Angel Camp, only one more Commander than them existed; it wasn't arrogance that limited the number of additional twelve-winged Archangels, but the understanding that more could likely defeat them, not kill them.
From the start, they aimed for the Fallen Angel Army below.
By annihilating the millions of Fallen Angel Army, they could severely injure the Fallen Angel strength; with more battles like this, the Fallen Angels' power would significantly decline.
After converting to Dark Fallen Angels, they lost the chance to be reborn in the Rebirth Pool; severe casualties mean newborn numbers won't keep pace!
Sela, although full of murderous desire, is very aware of this.
Therefore, upon Ming Guang Bodhisattva stating the condition, she agreed without a second thought, then swung her War Sword repeatedly, pushing her opponent back with mighty force.
Power Angel Pawas, though uninjured, was daunted by her fierce onslaught; if this madwoman kept attacking, he was bound to get hurt eventually.
As he prepared to call for ally support in a two-on-two standoff against this formidable Slaughter Angel, he suddenly sensed two formidable auras behind him.
Before he could react, a massive shimmering Golden Hand bearing immense pressure came crashing towards him from afar.
Simultaneously, a subtle yet miles-long Space Blade swooped upon him!
In an instant, two Bodhisattvas acted in unison.
This was the strategy conceived earlier between Ming Guang Bodhisattva and the Slaughter Angel Sela; if they could ambush to severely wound a twelve-winged Archangel upon appearing, it would certainly benefit the ensuing battle.
