Fang Hong only observed silently for a moment before understanding Dragonfire Guild's plan. They probably have precisely calculated the strength comparison between the spider swarm led by Silvermane 'Spider Queen' and the seven Giant Clans they provoked.
They skillfully maintain the balance on the battlefield. The pressure from both the giant spiders and giants is substantial, but because they restrain each other, it remains within a bearable range. As time passes, Dragonfire Guild will likely find it increasingly easier.
If both sides keep wearing each other down, Dragonfire Guild might truly become the fisherman that benefits in the end.
Neither the giants nor the giant spiders are particularly intelligent. Moreover, in this valley, they have been enemies for centuries. Enemies meet, and it gets even more intense. Who would think a small 'mouse' could have a chance to counterattack?
Fang Hong only watched for a moment before realizing Dragonfire Guild's plan had a fairly high success rate.
Of course, the premise was that they hadn't appeared.
As for now—
Obviously, more than just a few minutes had passed from the first combat to the second. After the first batch of Dragonfire Guild members resurrected, there had been ample time to relay the situation back.
Dragonfire Guild clearly also realized others were behind them, feeling a bit like pins and needles for a moment.
For the time being, they dared not easily turn around to trouble the Seven Seas Brigade. After all, if they had the opportunity, they would have long disengaged from the battle in the basin, rather than wait until now.
In fact, Dragonfire Guild not only dared not trouble the Seven Seas Brigade but had to pray that there weren't too many enemies behind them with overly large appetites. The battle in the valley had just reached a fevered pitch, and it was the most vulnerable time for their line.
If someone were to strike them from behind at this moment, Dragonfire Guild's line could directly collapse.
But Dragonfire Guild clearly wasn't relying on the enemy's goodwill. Fang Hong saw from afar that even though the frontline pressure was immense, they still sent a portion of their people in the direction of the forest at the rear. Not many, about twenty people or so.
However, upon seeing these people, Fang Hong pretty much guessed that it was Dragonfire Guild's Elite Brigade.
They hoped their Elite Brigade could hold back potential opponents because time on the battlefield stood on their side. Once the pressure from giants and giant spiders eased, they could spare more people to deal with the enemies behind them.
For the Seven Seas Brigade, the choice now before them was also apparent.
Retreating now didn't seem a bad option. Their harvest wasn't small, with the Big Cat People also sending reports of good results. Combined, they had gathered enough giant spider glands to meet the consumption needs of building sails for the Seven Seas Traveler.
But if they could break Dragonfire Guild's defensive line, the gains would evidently be greater.
Without mentioning the fact that in the valley, the giants and Silvermane 'Spider Queen' were in a life-and-death struggle, and whichever side lasted last would only result in a hard-won victory. After both sides wore each other down, if either the Seven Seas Traveler or Dragonfire Guild remained, they could become the benefiting fisherman.
Not to mention, this was the most vulnerable time for Dragonfire Guild. If they broke through the opponent's rear defense, they could completely annihilate their opponent in one blow. Just taking out Dragonfire Guild, the reward alone was enough to tempt Fang Hong.
But is Dragonfire Guild's Elite Brigade so easy to break through?
Thinking of the skirmishes between brigades, Fang Hong couldn't help but recall the battle between the Rain Listener and Blood Oath Alliance brigades he experienced in Fenris. He glanced at Elisa, who was evidently also reminiscing about the event, appearing a bit distracted.
Fang Hong was also personally involved in that combat, and Elisa herself was an eyewitness, but neither were the main forces in that battle. Moreover, the brigade Elisa's Rain Listener were part of, and the brigade from Blood Oath Alliance participating that day were, in fact, not the main brigades of either guild.
Or rather, they were the youth training brigades of both guilds, mainly composed of newcomers.
When considering what a real brigade might look like, Fang Hong naturally first thought of the Silver Forest Spear's Silver Shadow. Of course, Dragonfire Guild's main brigade couldn't compare to the Silver Forest Spear. But a brigade is a brigade; their quality could not be low.
Even just looking at Elisa and Xiangzi's abilities, one could see a glimpse.
What should they choose?
Fang Hong pondered for a moment, eventually deciding to probe a little.
Benefits were one thing, but more importantly, the relationship between Dragonfire Guild and the Dragon Worship Sect was well-known. Their actions here to undermine Dragonfire Guild's plan were essentially also disrupting the Dragon Worship Sect's plans.
Although he was not yet clear on what their plan was exactly, it was a simple logic that if an enemy aimed to achieve something, he must not let them succeed.
Moreover, in his mind, the future of the Seven Seas Brigade was to head to the Second World. He had promised Miss Sicape that his Adventure Group would be one of the finest in this world. If they couldn't even dare challenge a brigade like Dragonfire Guild, could the Seven Seas Brigade still be considered 'excellent'?
Winning or not was one thing, but daring to face the challenge was another.
Fang Hong made up his mind, but when he looked at everyone, his expression was instead very calm. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"Ahead is the Dragonfire Brigade, but I intend to probe it—"
"The opportunity we have been searching for has now appeared before us. If we can defeat the opponent, we might deliver a fatal blow to Dragonfire Guild."
"However, it won't be easy, and we must plan accordingly."
