Dragon Martial Sovereign-Chapter 440 - 439: Watch the Changes!

After a while, Ding Yong finally spoke, "Brother’s insight is profound. To tell the truth, I had never thought about the points you’ve raised before, but I must admit, everything you said makes sense. From the bottom of my heart, I truly admire you!"

This time, Lin Fan just smiled and did not respond.

That night, inside Hope Canyon, excitement once again bubbled forth.

Everyone’s hearts were filled with immense joy.

Because today, they had achieved another great victory!

However, there were no celebrations at Hope Canyon today.

Initially, everyone had decided to celebrate, but Lin Fan ultimately stopped them, making it clear that it was too early to celebrate without securing the final victory.

Seeing that Lin Fan, the one credited with the primary achievements, was not celebrating, naturally, others also dismissed the idea.

At this moment, all the high-ranking members of the alliance gathered inside a massive Cave Mansion.

They were there to discuss important matters.

"Alright!"

Ding Yong said gravely, "Today, since I have gathered everyone here, I mainly want to hear everyone’s thoughts. Now, please feel free to speak your minds!"

As he spoke, Ding Yong’s eyes slowly swept over everyone, finally resting on Lin Fan, he asked, "Brother Lin Fan, our victories have been largely thanks to you. Now, I would like to ask, do you have anything to say?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say."

"Good!"

Ding Yong nodded and asked, "What about the others? Do you have anything to say?"

At first, everyone was silent.

But as they remained silent, their expressions gradually grew animated, showing that they probably had things they wanted to say but were waiting for someone to lead.

Finally, someone stood up and said, "Alliance Hierarch, I have something to say!"

Ding Yong nodded, "Go ahead!"

The person said, "Alliance Hierarch, I think that our Human Clan Cultivators have achieved two unprecedented victories, and the Half-Dragon Clan has suffered heavily. Hence, I suggest that it’s time we start a counterattack!"

"Yes, I also think the timing for a counterattack is right. After suffering two major defeats, the Half-Dragon Clan must surely be in a state of unrest. If we launch our counterattack now, we are sure to achieve a resounding victory!"

"I agree with a counterattack!"

"So do I!"

For a moment, most of both the high-ranking members agreed on launching a counterattack!

While they spoke, their faces lit up with immense excitement.

Perhaps they believed that if they counterattacked now, the Human Clan Cultivators could achieve a complete victory, and might even completely annihilate the Half-Dragon Clan, making everyone present heroes of the Human Clan, celebrated through history!

To be honest, even Ding Yong’s heart was somewhat swayed at this moment.

For deep down, Ding Yong also felt that this was the best opportunity for a counterattack...

However, Ding Yong did not rush to state his position, but instead, looked towards Lin Fan again, asking, "Brother, what do you think?"

By now, Lin Fan had become the de facto Alliance Hierarch within the Chaotic Alliance, for his strength was so formidable that regardless of what he said, others would instinctively seek his opinion.

"Heh heh!"

After hearing Ding Yong’s words, Lin Fan casually smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees with a counterattack, it must be the best time indeed for it!"

Hearing Lin Fan’s words, everyone present felt elated.

Because it seemed to them that Lin Fan was agreeing to the counterattack!

Even Ding Yong eagerly asked, "Brother, you... do you agree with the counterattack?"

Lin Fan did not speak; he just nonchalantly shook his head!

"Hmm?"

Ding Yong was startled and looked at Lin Fan puzzled, asking, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Others were also puzzled by Lin Fan’s intent.

They didn’t understand why Lin Fan was agreeing to a counterattack yet now shaking his head.

Lin Fan calmly said, "Although everyone agrees with a counterattack, and perhaps everyone believes this is the best opportunity, I don’t see it that way. I believe the right moment for a counterattack has not yet come. Not only has it not come, but if we really launch a counterattack now, it will be us who will end up utterly defeated. The Half-Dragon Clan will be the ones ultimately victorious and laughing last!"

Lin Fan’s voice was not loud!

But these words, after reaching everyone’s ears, struck them like a thunderclap!

"This..."

Everyone was somewhat stunned.

The words spoken by Lin Fan had indeed taken everyone by surprise!

Finally, someone said, "Young Hero, the words you just said... Aren’t they somewhat bolstering others’ morale while diminishing your own prestige? After all, Young Hero Lin Fan, you are so incredible, I’m sure that your current strength is already the foremost in the Chaotic Land. We believe that as long as you lead us, wiping out the Half-Dragon Clan would be effortless!"

"Please lead us, Young Hero Lin Fan, and launch a counterattack against the Half-Dragon Clan!"

"Young Hero Lin Fan, you are like a War God. With you here, victory is undoubtedly within grasp!"

"Young Hero Lin Fan, please do not hesitate any longer, agree to our plea!"

Everyone was pleading with Lin Fan in a desperate tone.

They truly hoped that Lin Fan would lead them in a fierce counterattack against the Half-Dragon Clan!

Even Ding Yong looked towards Lin Fan!

"Heh heh!"

After laughing again, Lin Fan said, "Everyone, you truly overestimate me. Although you say that I, Lin Fan, am an unrivaled existence in the Chaotic Land, I do not possess such confidence. In truth, within the current Chaotic Land, there are many who could kill me, Lin Fan."

"The foundation of the Half-Dragon Clan is incredibly strong, and there are many experts among them. Against ordinary experts of the Half-Dragon Clan, I can handle myself with composure, but against those super experts, I would simply meet my end!"

"Just take, for instance, the five super experts from the Half-Dragon Clan that I slew today. If it were a normal battle, I wouldn’t stand a chance against them; even within thirty moves, they could have killed me!"

"As the saying goes, there are skies beyond skies, and people beyond people. I, Lin Fan, never dare to be arrogant!"

In the end, Lin Fan sighed deeply and concluded his speech.

Someone said, "Young Hero Lin Fan, I think you are being too humble. You say you are no match for the super experts of the Half-Dragon Clan, but today, didn’t you easily kill those super experts?"

"Yes, Young Hero Lin Fan, if you can easily kill those super experts, how could they possibly be your match?"

Everyone was speaking while gazing intently at Lin Fan.

After everyone quieted down, Lin Fan once again shook his head and said, "You are mistaken, and tremendously so. The reason I could kill those fellows is not due to my own strength but... because I was within the Array surrounding Hope Canyon. I harnessed the power of this Array, so I could kill them. Without the support of this Array, it would be easy for them to kill me!"

"At the end of the day, I can only exert my power within the Array!"

"Once I leave the Array, I would ultimately be killed by them!"

"Therefore, we are still unable to leave Hope Canyon now, let alone initiate a counterattack!"

"Do you all understand?"

Lin Fan’s eyes slowly swept across the people.

At that moment, everyone remained silent.

But their expressions looked somewhat grim.

Previously, because they hadn’t paid much attention, they believed Lin Fan was an invincible being, able to easily kill the super experts of the Half-Dragon Clan.

But now that they think about it, it seems Lin Fan really relied on the Array’s power.

Especially during the battle with the last super expert, Lin Fan ultimately failed and only managed to kill the last super expert by harnessing the Array’s power at the last moment!

Seeing no one spoke, Lin Fan then said, "Alright, I have said everything. I want to ask now, do you still wish to launch a counterattack against the Half-Dragon Clan?"

"This..."

Everyone hesitated, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.

To be honest, they had decided to launch a counterattack against the Half-Dragon Clan entirely because they thought Lin Fan was powerful...

In other words, with Lin Fan as their backup, they dared to attack.

But now...

Now that they know the support of Lin Fan isn’t as strong as they imagined, their hearts wavered, no longer daring to risk a counterattack against the Half-Dragon Clan.

After a while, Ding Yong asked, "Brother, like you said, what should we do next?"

Lin Fan said, "Observe and adapt!"

"Observe and adapt?"

Everyone looked at Lin Fan, slightly confused about how to go about observing and adapting.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes, observe and adapt. I think, given that the Half-Dragon Clan has lost so much, they will definitely react. After we see their next move, we can then make our next decision!"

"Alright then!"

After hearing Lin Fan’s words, everyone replied somewhat helplessly.

Honestly, they felt that the words Lin Fan had just spoken seemed quite profound.
