95: Chapter 95 Preparations for the Trilateral Talks

"Patriarch, are you really going?"

After the war council ended, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chase after him, her face full of worry.

In the meeting just now, Qin Yu had informed all the core members of his entire plan.

Not only did he accept Xiao Feng's request for a "talk," but he also set the location in a treacherous canyon called "A Line of Sky," situated between the Dragon God Tribe and the Hope Barrier!

That place had steep walls on both sides with only a narrow passage in the middle; it was a natural ambush site!

Setting the meeting place there was no different from walking straight into the tiger's den!

"A man like Xiao Feng will definitely station heavy troops on both sides of the canyon!"

Chen Xiao said urgently.

"Once we enter, he only needs to give the order, and with rocks and artillery raining down, we'll be like turtles caught in a jar!"

"I know."

Qin Yu's reply was calm and indifferent.

He turned around and looked at his loyal war commander, a hint of approval in his eyes.

"What you can think of, I naturally have thought of as well."

"Then why are you..." Chen Xiao was even more puzzled.

"Because that place is not just Xiao Feng's hunting ground."

The corners of Qin Yu's mouth curled into a cold arc.

"It will also be the hunting ground for those Lizardmen."

"And even more so... it is my hunting ground!"

Chen Xiao's pupils constricted suddenly!

She instantly understood Qin Yu's intention!

This was a setup!

A three-party gambit, a world-shaking scheme that calculated every enemy!

Qin Yu never expected Xiao Feng to truly submit!

He wanted to exploit Xiao Feng's suspicion and ruthlessness to force him into choosing "A Line of Sky," the most suitable location for an ambush!

At the same time, he also wanted to use this large-scale, high-energy gathering of people to lure out all those Lizardmen lurking in the shadows, who were extremely sensitive to energy and life auras!

He wanted to... kill three birds with one stone!

One battle to decide the fate of the world!

"But... this is too dangerous!"

Having figured out the logic behind it, Chen Xiao didn't relax; instead, she became even more nervous.

"We have to face Xiao Feng's troops and those unknown Lizardmen at the same time. What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'."

Qin Yu interrupted her, his tone filled with absolute confidence.

"In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and schemes are mere paper tigers."

Qin Yu patted Chen Xiao's shoulder.

"What you need to do is not worry about me."

"But to believe in me, and then, execute my orders."

"Yes!"

Feeling the mountain-like steady power coming from Qin Yu's palm, all the unease in Chen Xiao's heart was instantly smoothed away.

She straightened her back, her gaze becoming firm and sharp once more.

"Please give the order, Patriarch!"

"Very good."

Qin Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"You, lead the first squad of Dragon Riderss and select ten of the fastest Swift Dragons to serve as my personal guards and accompany me to the meeting at 'A Line of Sky'."

"Remember, your mission is not to fight, but to... demonstrate!"

"I want Xiao Feng, and everyone else, to see the most elite force of our Dragon God Tribe, and let them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts!"

"Yes!"

"Liu Wei!" Qin Yu looked toward the Arcanist commander walking over from the other side.

"Your subordinate is here!"

"You, lead all the Arcanists to set up the largest-scale 'Arcane Maze' formation and 'Energy Confusion' runes five kilometers outside 'A Line of Sky'!"

"After the meeting begins, I want that area completely shielded, turning it into an isolated island cut off from the world!"

"I don't care what method you use; I want to ensure that not even a single bird can fly out!"

"Understood!" A confident light flickered in Liu Wei's eyes. "I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"As for Lin Waner..."

Qin Yu's gaze shifted toward the depths of the Tribe's valley, and his eyes softened for a moment.

"Have her and Su Qingyao stay in the Tribe and activate the highest level of defense."

"Until I return, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Yes!"

Orders were passed down one by one in an orderly fashion.

The entire Dragon God Tribe began to operate once more with terrifying efficiency.

The sound of sharpening blades, the clatter of equipment being adjusted, and the low growls of Swift Dragons intertwined into a pre-war symphony filled with a murderous aura.

Every Tribe member's face carried a hint of nervousness, but even more so, fanaticism!

It was the... anticipation for the upcoming unprecedented battle!

Half an hour later.

Through the captured communication equipment, Liu Wei received a detailed inventory from the Hope Barrier.

"Patriarch, the inventory has been sent over."

Liu Wei handed a tablet device to Qin Yu.

It densely listed all the remaining assets of the Hope Barrier.

Combat personnel: 2,871 people.

Among them, gene-enhanced soldiers: 126 people.

Thunder Spear Guard: 32 people.

Weaponry and equipment: 3,500 automatic rifles, 56 heavy machine guns, 24 rocket launchers, 8 mortars...

Ammunition reserves: approximately 800,000 rounds of various bullets, several artillery shells and rockets...

Looking at this inventory, even Qin Yu had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

It had to be said that Xiao Feng indeed had some ability.

To be able to pull together such a well-equipped modern force in this prehistoric hellish rainforest and even establish an arms production line, he had reason to be proud.

Unfortunately, he had met him.

"What is their location?" Qin Yu asked indifferently.

"They have already set out."

Liu Wei pointed at a moving red dot on the tablet.

"They've dispatched a fifty-man vanguard, which is currently heading toward 'A Line of Sky' canyon; it looks like they're going to set up an ambush."

"Hmph, just as expected."

Qin Yu gave a cold laugh.

"That old fox, he says yes with his mouth but is still thinking of playing tricks in his heart."

"Have Chen Xiao get ready."

Qin Yu stood up and looked toward the canyon, a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

"The identities of hunter and prey... it's time for them to be swapped."

Just then, the Valkyrie in charge of communications came running over hurriedly again.

"Patriarch!"

"Another message has come from the Hope Barrier side!"

"It was specified by Xiao Feng to be sent to you personally!"

"Oh?"

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow and took the tablet.

On the screen was only a short line of text, yet it was filled with a provocative tone.

"Leader Qin Yu, the scenery of 'A Line of Sky' will surely be magnificent."

"I hope your courage is as great as your strength."

"I, along with my army, will be there... waiting for you!"
