Although he wears glasses and looks very smart, he is essentially still a bit of a simple-minded young man.
He couldn't understand the communication between these two at all; it was like encrypted radio waves to him. He didn't get it.
"In simple terms, this War God at the fifth level of the Dao realm will go to support the army and stabilize morale there."
"This will ensure that the World Serpent's army won't come and disrupt our battle."
"Moreover, a fifth-level expert joining that battlefield can have a turnaround effect."
The Aurora Saintess began to explain word by word, revealing a helpless expression.
Barrett nodded, gradually understanding.
"Then Jiang Wang will hold off Shuten-dōji alone, while the rest of us will focus on attacking Yamata no Orochi."
"Using the power of the Holy Light, combined with our strong strength, we will quickly eliminate that multi-headed bastard."
Harna continued to explain, narrowing her eyes.
To be honest, this arrangement was very risky.
If she were to make the plan, she would definitely play it safe.
As long as they ensured that the World Serpent didn't get the so-called 'treasure,' there would be no problem.
Especially Shuten-dōji, they absolutely couldn't let him get it; they had to delay him.
And as long as they stretched the time a little, the Holy Temple's subsequent support would arrive.
You should know that the Blindfolded Saintess is leading a large group of people and rushing over at full speed.
After all, this area is under the Blindfolded Saintess's jurisdiction, and she can mobilize more manpower.
As for Harna, she is the governor of the neighboring area, and the manpower she brought is really not enough.
If they were to act in a stable manner, it would be better to delay and wait for support.
Jiang Wang's actions were actually a bit reckless.
However, seeing how confident he is, he probably really has some certainty.
"That's Shuten-dōji, his power is far beyond our imagination, how can we let Jiang Wang stop him alone?"
"He will die; the difference in strength is too great."
Barrett felt that this was unreliable, frowned, and showed a doubtful expression.
"My strength is also far beyond your imagination; don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Jiang Wang said, still looking confident.
"In that case, Shuten-dōji is left to you."
Harna nodded, agreeing to this slightly crazy plan.
"But the risk of doing so is too great."
Although Barrett was a straightforward person, with his mind full of beating up evil people.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to think.
The Blindfolded Saintess had said that Barrett had the qualifications to become a Holy Son.
His level of wisdom was still a bit lacking, but it was already far beyond ordinary Holy Temple members.
He couldn't accept such a crazy plan; it was too dangerous.
Chapter 739: Risk
"The situation is urgent, and this is war. No matter what you do, there will definitely be risks."
The Aurora Saintess said, seeing it very clearly, and even felt that this was the best solution.
If they chose to delay, would it be foolproof?
The World Serpent must be acting separately; they had to speed up, otherwise, the situation would be very bad.
After all, no one could guarantee what kind of power the World Serpent would gain after obtaining the 'treasure.'
If they delayed and the World Serpent received an epic buff, then it would be all over.
Therefore, taking the opportunity to attack now was also a pretty good strategy.
"No matter what strategy you choose, risks are inevitable."
Harna continued, shaking her head at Barrett.
"Now, I have the highest authority, the command is in my hands, and I have decided to follow Jiang Wang's arrangement."
She said, this was taking a risk.
Sometimes, the development of the situation is really helpless; this is the so-called trolley problem.
And as the officer in charge of the command, the Saintess must make the appropriate choice.
The trolley problem is everywhere, and she must steadily control the direction of the team's advance.
Jiang Wang stopping Shuten-dōji, and them speeding up to solve Yamata no Orochi, this plan was completely feasible.
If there was any risk, it would be concentrated on Jiang Wang.
If everything went smoothly, they would speed up to solve Yamata no Orochi, then they could go to support Jiang Wang and gain an advantage.
But if it didn't go smoothly, even if Jiang Wang arrived, they would still have the confidence to defeat Yamata no Orochi.
In other words, there were two possible scenarios, one was a big win, and the other was losing a titled knight.
If that was the arrangement, why would the Aurora Saintess disagree?
Although she admired Jiang Wang very much, now was the time to talk about serious matters.
"Jiang Wang, you must hold on, wait for us to quickly solve that big snake."
The Saintess had already given a mandatory order, and Barrett had nothing to say and could only accept it.
"Don't die, we'll come to support you soon."
Barrett had fought alongside Jiang Wang for a while. To be honest, they hadn't known each other for long.
But that's how the Holy Temple is; they can easily become good friends.
"Heh, don't underestimate me; maybe I've already defeated Shuten-dōji before you defeat the big snake."
Jiang Wang smiled, still maintaining a sense of confidence.
"Have you finished your idle talk? That's why I say, you people who are fooled by the Holy Light are really stupid."
"Your brain seems to be not quite right. Solve me? Are you worthy?"
Shuten-dōji stood next to them, listening to the Holy Temple's plans.
He only felt that these people who dedicated themselves to the cause of justice, thinking about fighting evil and the abyss every day, were very ridiculous.
Just looking at these guys standing in front of him, saying those ridiculous words, and exuding that silly aura.
Shuten-dōji only felt disgusted; he wanted to vomit.
This was probably also related to his past experiences.
Of course, he hadn't been born for long when he encountered someone who used the Holy Light.
A burst of Holy Light vows and self-explosion almost killed him.
At this moment, the remaining injuries on his abdomen still made him feel pain.
Every time he saw the people of the Holy Temple appear, he would have a strange feeling of scalp tingling and bursts of pain.
This feeling was certainly very bad, so he hated the people of the Holy Temple very much.
In fact, this feeling of hatred was ultimately because he was afraid.
The fear of the Holy Light had been firmly engraved in his soul.
Even though his strength was already extremely strong, he would still have a kind of fear of the Holy Light.
Therefore, he had made extra preparations for this operation.
His goal was not complicated; he wanted to exclude the Holy Temple's forces.
He didn't want Holy Light users to interfere with the World Serpent's actions, or rather, interfere with him.
Even if there was only a slight possibility, he would completely suppress the 'Light of Salvation.'
But he didn't expect that even though he had sealed the power of the Holy Light so much.
These Holy Light holders still accelerated towards him like locusts.
He already hated this group of bastards, a group of guys who didn't know whether to live or die.
"Why am I not worthy? Shuten, haven't you noticed? Your actions have exposed a weakness."
"You are afraid of the Holy Light."
Jiang Wang said, he keenly noticed this subtle emotion.
One aspect was because of the World Serpent's previous actions to destroy the Beastman world, and the other was because of Shuten-dōji's current gaze.
He was very angry, but why was he angry?
Clearly, he was now in an absolute advantage...
The root of the anger was actually a sense of powerlessness.
Facing the Holy Light, he felt very powerless; he was afraid of the Holy Light, so he was angry.
Jiang Wang had completely understood Shuten-dōji and also understood what this guy's weakness was.
"Let me bring you a super surprise gift."
Jiang Wang said, now that the words had been spoken, the next moment was the moment of direct combat.
"What are you kidding about? I'm afraid of the Holy Light? Have you misunderstood something?"
Shuten-dōji's face immediately turned black.
