Chapter 1404 Crowdfunding
It is said that this insectoid mist formation is extremely powerful, a terrifying killing formation passed down from ancient times. Legend has it that it requires the gathering of one billion strange and poisonous insects from the primordial era to spew out enough deadly poisonous mist to cover the battlefield and form this formation.
Anyone who enters this formation will first experience a collapse of their inner soul power like a flood, followed by the appearance of dense, purplish-black poisonous spots on their skin. Then, the toxins will begin to corrode from the inside out, starting with the internal organs and causing them to rot and decay—the final death will be extremely gruesome! Enough to terrify anyone who sees it!
In ancient times, there was a famous battle in which a highly advanced civilization, ranked among the top 10 of all races, led an army of 400,000 into the battlefield shrouded by this formation.
A month later, the eerie fog dissipated, and the remains of the 400,000-strong army were revealed on the battlefield where the fog had lifted! The moment the first ray of sunlight fell upon the battlefield, the remains instantly melted into water, and even the armor they wore and the weapons they held turned into a pool of foul-smelling black water in an instant!
After that battle, the foundation of that race was completely shattered, and it declined drastically after that war among all races, eventually becoming a weak race ranked outside the top 1000... destined to be enslaved and subservient to others...
This ancient and terrifying formation, associated with horrific legends, has not appeared since the Fourth War of the Myriad Races. Many people thought that the Zerg's strange and poisonous insects had become extinct. Unexpectedly, we can see this eerie mist formation again today!
Ye Ge stroked his chin and said, "It seems that unless an advance force goes in to scout ahead and plants the Fog Clan's unique fog-breaking beacon flags, the entire Allied Forces will definitely suffer heavy casualties if they all enter together."
"this......."
Upon hearing Ye Ge's words, the clan leaders exchanged glances, all with hesitation in their eyes.
Who would want their army to become cannon fodder that is bound to be lost?
Some of the lower-ranked race leaders immediately looked away. Some lowered their heads, some pretended to be thinking, some pretended to chat with the people around them, and some pretended to look at their system panels... In short, they were afraid of making eye contact with Ye Ge.
Upon seeing this situation, Ye Ge couldn't help but laugh to himself.
Ha, these old foxes...
They were clearly afraid of being singled out by him and made into cannon fodder.
As a result, the group of people behaved like a group of students who were afraid of being called on by the teacher in class.
“Chief Feng,” Ye Ge suddenly said leisurely.
"...Huh?" Feng Shangbo shuddered. He had tried his best to avoid eye contact, but he still got called out by Ye Ge. He could only chuckle awkwardly and say, "Lord Ye Ge, what is it?"
Night Song feigned a thoughtful expression: "In your opinion, which race's army would be more suitable to serve as the vanguard and scout ahead into the Misty Array?"
"Uh... well... um..."
Feng Shangbo raised his hand and coughed twice, saying, "Ahem... Since this insectoid fog formation is a formation with poisonous fog as its core, isn't it probably the Fog Clan's forte? The Fog Clan lives in the foggy regions of the Myriad Races map year-round, so I think it would be perfect to have the Fog Clan scout ahead for this kind of thing."
Upon hearing this, the Mist Clan Chief nearly jumped up in anger and glared fiercely at Feng Shangbo.
However, in front of Ye Ge and the Five Constant Commanders, he did not show it directly. Instead, he said indirectly, "Chief of the Wind Clan, you are mistaken! Although the Mist Clan is good at surviving in dense fog, their poison resistance has always been very poor... I remember that during the War of Ten Thousand Races, the Water Clan often used water mist techniques to surround and trap enemies. Moreover, the Water Clan is ranked 16th among the ten thousand races. If they encounter the Insect Clan in the Misty Fog Formation, they will definitely have at least some fighting power. Therefore, I think it is most suitable to send the Water Clan, who are good at fighting in the fog, have strong poison resistance, and are also powerful!"
"Oh?" Ye Ge turned to look at Shui Tianhua: "Chief Shui, is that so?"
Shui Tianhua's face stiffened, and he quickly said, "But the aquatic soldiers are not good at reconnaissance and are very easy to expose their intentions. I think it would be better to send a race that is better at reconnaissance, such as the meerkats."
The meerkat chieftain panicked: "That's utter nonsense! We meerkats..."
For a time, the leaders of various ethnic groups were playing a game of Tai Chi, going back and forth to shirk responsibility, which was quite intense.
"The nest of that Empress Dowager Insect is full of top-grade extraordinary materials that can be used to refine magical treasures! Whoever gets them first will be rich!"
"We spirits are naturally uninterested in magical artifacts; we don't even know what they are... Let's give such a good thing to someone else..."
“Chief of the Guga Clan, I remember your beloved queen was seriously ill and seeking medical help everywhere. She was just missing a key ingredient, which was the egg of the Zerg Queen Mother, right? This is a great opportunity!”
"Cough... I suddenly realize that I don't really want to seek medical help anymore..."
"..."
Nangong Qiuyue, Jiang Xiaoming, Arthur and the others were dumbfounded.
They never imagined that the tribal chiefs, whom they had remembered as stern and authoritative figures in their childhood, would now be so comically passing a ball around, and coming up with so many abstract excuses...
"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Gul's snorted and looked at Night Song: "Since you are the current Chief Executive Officer of the Alliance of All Races, you can just designate an advance team to go. What's with all the fuss?"
"..."
For a moment, all the leaders of the myriad races fell silent, staring longingly at Ye Ge.
Ye Ge smiled faintly and said, "When I was the Chief Executive Officer, I said that since I had taken this position, the human race would definitely be at the forefront of this war of all races. So the vanguard will naturally be my troops, and I will personally lead them in."
The leaders of all the tribes were stunned when they heard this.
They thought they had misheard...
Previously, they all thought that Ye Ge was just saying these things, and that when they actually got to the battlefield, he would definitely use his power to find ways to make other races cannon fodder.
Who would have thought that Ye Ge would actually send his troops to the front lines?
Yan Ji frowned slightly, looking at Ye Ge with some concern.
She couldn't understand what Ye Ge was planning.
He could have easily passed this dangerous task to someone else...
"Oh my! Lord Yege is truly a man of great responsibility and courage!" Feng Shangbo immediately said with a chuckle, "Not only do you command the overall battle of the alliance, but you also personally lead the army to the front lines to scout ahead for the alliance. I am truly impressed!"
"What's the use of just admiring? Let's do something practical." Ye Ge raised his hand and a system QR code popped up.
"...Uh?" Feng Shangbo looked up at the QR code with a blank expression: "What is this...?"
Night Song: "We humans are at the forefront, clearing the way for you. Don't you think we should show some appreciation?"
Fashion blogger: "..."
Other clan leaders: "..."
Night Song: "Hurry up, launch the crowdfunding campaign, 100 million gold coins for the clan."
Feng Shangbo's eyes widened: "Young Master Duo?! 100 million gold coins for the whole clan?!?"
"..."
The other leaders of the myriad races were also dumbfounded.
War... crowdfunding?
They never imagined in their lives that these two words would be linked together...
"Of course." Ye Ge smiled at Feng Shangbo: "So, this is a great opportunity to make money. Chief Feng, why don't you volunteer to try and get it? Your Feng clan goes in first, and I'll help you with the crowdfunding."
Fashion blogger: "..."

[Deep Blue System account credited: 100 million gold coins.]
Feng Shangbo, looking embarrassed, chuckled awkwardly, "Lord Yege, the money has already been transferred."
Other leaders of various races: "..."
