Richard sensed the subtlety and profoundly stared at the god of deception.
He didn't dwell on him and said in a deep voice. "Your Excellency Tai Long, can you sever the connection between this plane and the abyss if we give up on destroying the spider churches and directly attack the spider temple instead?"
The enemy had already reacted, so he had to prepare for the worst.
They would fight a war of attrition with him to stall for time if the other party set up a trap and heavily guarded one or two churches.
Then he would have to take an even higher risk.
Time was on the side of the spiders. The victor would only belong to the enemy if this dragged on.
However, the key to this was the twelve spider churches.
They couldn't impede the space passage between the spider temple unless they pulverized the spider churches.
The situation would develop an outcome he wouldn't want to face if he directly attacked the spider temple.
