Spatial battlefield, Yuan Star Square Fortress.

In the central villa conference room.

Jiang Chen, Long Tianze, and other battlefield leaders from various regions were gathered here.

"Mr. Jiang, this battle was really beautifully fought!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, finally a chance to vent our anger!"

"Mr. Jiang, could you come over more often in the future?"

"That's right, Mr. Jiang, with you here, we're much more confident!"

The battlefield leaders were all smiles as they praised him.

"Everyone, don't be blindly optimistic!"

Jiang Chen swept a glance over the crowd, his expression stern as he said, "Don't get complacent because of this victory. Have you forgotten how we were trapped in the city and couldn't get out?"

The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and they awkwardly grimaced.

"Has Yuan Star already reported the great victory?"

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Long Huang.

Long Huang nodded slightly and said, "Arrangements have been made!"

"The martial artists and civilians on Yuan Star can celebrate a bit, but we cannot relax!"

Jiang Chen said gravely, "We won this battle simply because the enemy underestimated my strength. Next time, I'm afraid someone will come specifically to hold me back, and by then, it will require everyone to stand strong!"

The crowd paused, then solemnly nodded, their faces somewhat flushed.

Although Jiang Chen did not openly criticize, everyone still felt somewhat ashamed after reacting.

In these two years since the formation of the spatial battlefield, all three major victories were brought by Jiang Chen, which made everyone feel rather useless!

Jiang Chen also realized this; it seemed he had made everyone rely too much on him. Judging by everyone's enthusiasm earlier, it was as if everything would be fine as long as he was there, which was not a good sign!

If things continued developing this way, if one day he lost, wouldn't it lead to an immediate psychological collapse of his side's people?

Jiang Chen didn't think he was invincible beneath the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage!

Whether it was Li Jianfeng or An Na, people he had captured had all spoken of the Nether Realm's might, which instilled a sense of awe in Jiang Chen, preventing him from ignoring the Twelve Archipelago Powers' threat.

And today's probing clearly showed that the other side was not incapable of slaughtering the city or invading Yuan Star; they just weren't ready to do so yet!

Why is that?

Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out and furrowed his brows slightly!

"Young Master, is something wrong?"

Long Tianze noticed Jiang Chen's unusual demeanor and softly spoke.

"It's nothing! I gathered everyone today to tell you that this time, we achieved a great victory, but we've also fully exposed our strength to the enemy's eyes."

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then reacted, contemplated briefly, and said seriously, "Therefore, the enemy's next attack will certainly be more ferocious, and we absolutely cannot let a siege happen again."

"You all saw that due to one siege, our people's morale plummeted to rock bottom, and they were unwilling to fight again! Fortunately, this time we restored morale with a great victory. If it happens again, can we still achieve a great victory?"

The crowd fell silent, not that they hadn't contemplated this issue, but they were somewhat reluctant to answer!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a competition between major powers but a war for the survival of the entire Yuan Star!"

Jiang Chen glanced over the crowd, speaking sternly, "I refuse to believe that after a year of humiliation, no valiant men want to stand up and fight a hearty battle!"

The leaders from each region had slight changes in their expressions, turning their faces away to avoid Jiang Chen's gaze.

"I don't want to pursue past matters, but I absolutely do not want a next time!"

An icy glint appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes: "I've been too tolerant of you all, so much that, after being besieged for a year, you actually prioritized preserving your forces' power, enduring the enemy's insults and pressures, completely hiding away, you truly are amazing!"

The faces of the leaders turned unsightly. Indeed, for the past year, they had been suppressing those who wanted to resist, hoping that others' forces would go out and fight, while their own forces would reap the benefits afterward!

"Elder You, notify the Shadow Clan members to enter the battlefield! There's no need to guard the Elixir Medicine Academy anymore, as all semi Divine Infant Realm individuals are there. I've already informed Yi Chen that all Great Dao semi Divine Infant Realm martial artists will also go there to comprehend the Great Dao!"

Jiang Chen turned to look at You Xuan; "The Shadow Clan members will come in, utilizing the Shadow Clan's advantage of concealing their presence. Saint Realm's early-stage martial artists won't participate in the battle, they'll only tally and record battle achievements."

"Starting today, the supply ratio of elixirs to all major regions will be halved for Spirit Grass, and the other half will be exchanged based on battle achievements. The supply of elixirs from the Martial Warrior Academy will stop at those above Saint Realm, moving them all to the battlefield, to be exchanged for based on battle achievements!"

Looking up at the representatives, Jiang Chen said coldly, "I know you've been acquiring elixirs from the Martial Warrior Academy, I didn't interfere, thinking your acquisition for training was for better combat. But I didn't expect that you damn trained for better avoidance of battle!"

"Why give you those elixirs? To facilitate your escape?!"

Jiang Chen roared, "From today, elixirs above the Saint Realm can only be obtained through two means: exchanging Spirit Grass or battle achievements. Without achievements, you'll watch others rapidly advance while you remain at the end of the line!"

Most leaders displayed a hint of panic in their eyes, wanting to say something but ultimately didn't dare to speak!

"I'll repeat once more, I do not wish for the siege incident to recur, as long as the enemy dares to reach the city gates, we will fight to the last! There's no such idea as preserving the green hills for fear of having no firewood to burn later. If we submit, we, our descendants, will all become the other's slaves. Are you willing?" Jiang Chen asked in a low, intense voice.

"Not willing!"

"Never surrender!"

"Never surrender!"

The crowd shouted out one after another.

Jiang Chen gently raised his hand, and the conference room fell silent, everyone looking intently at Jiang Chen.

"Someone just suggested I stay, I'm sorry, I cannot stay!"

Jiang Chen gently shook his head, "There are still Void Nether Realm people lurking on Yuan Star, I need to join several seniors to root them out, and I also need to continue nurturing Divine Infant Realm experts, relying solely on us is insufficient!"

The group of leaders paused, then thought of those semi Divine Infant Realm martial artists and nodded one after another.

"Alright, everyone go back and make arrangements, remember to always pay attention to the enemy's movements. I suspect they will strike back soon, after all, as the saying goes, a siege is deadly to morale, and they also need a victory to restore their own morale!"

Jiang Chen gave instructions and declared the meeting adjourned.
