Chapter 52: Return to the Heavenly Mountains Again

So, Jing Donggu talked about the beginning and end of this matter.

It turns out that the eastern territory has not been peaceful recently, because there is about to be a war.

The opponent is the beast army of the steppe.

The Great Chief of Dongling naturally made a lot of preparations for the war, and the combat effectiveness of the top powerhouses, especially the powerhouses in the rejuvenation realm, was very important.

The Great Chief of Tanglin himself is in the realm of rejuvenation, but he alone cannot support the entire war, after all, there are many strong people in the grassland beast tribe.

In such a large-scale war, the quantity and quality of the strong people in the rejuvenation realm can basically determine the victory or defeat of the war. Therefore, the Great Chieftain of the Eastern Territory needs the support of more powerful people.

And those so-called armies are of limited use.

In fact, ordinary armies can only be used to manage the population and maintain stability.

After the start of the battle, the army enters the city to prevent its own people from being slaughtered by the opposing army.

Population is a very important resource, and if the grassland beast tribe rushes in to slaughter or forcibly relocate the population, then even if the strong man in the realm of rejuvenation wins, it is putting the cart before the horse.

If there is no population, who will produce? You can't let a group of warrior holy warriors do coolies.

No matter how strong the holy warrior is, he can't save the person who dies, and every person who dies is the loss of a labor force, and the loss of labor force is equivalent to the loss of property.

Moreover, the base of the population also determines the value of commercial circulation, and there is no doubt which of a small tribe of 100 people or a large city of 100,000 people is more attractive to merchants.

There will be a steady stream of wealth in commercial circulation, and the fight for profit is actually for the sake of profit, so population is the focus of the competition.

A strong man in the realm of rejuvenation can decide the success or failure of a war, and can also kill an army.

However, the strong are limited, and they contain each other, and they often evolve from slaughtering each other's armies and towns to a duel of the strong.

If your own army is weak, the enemy does not use the strong, and ordinary warriors can slaughter on a large scale, then even if the war is won, there is no point.

The beasts on the grassland are strong, and the army is also terrifying, in order to prepare for war, in addition to forming a huge army, the great chief of the Eastern Territory must also have the support of the strong, and these are inseparable from money.

It is reported that the steppe beast tribe has recently recruited a large number of strong men, which has made the already very sad Eastern Leader even less confident.

So the Great Chief of the Eastern Territory provided a lot of money for a few warriors who had rejuvenated the realm, but if there was no massive wealth, how could those strong people be willing to fight for the Great Chief of the Eastern Territory.

In addition to demanding large quantities of property, some of them made claims to the Great Eastern Chieftain for their territories.

The Great Chief of the Eastern Territory was naturally unwilling, but the rare combat power could not be given up just like that.

After a series of scheming and interest competitions, the current situation was finally formed.

Among them is the White Snake Land.

There is a strong man in the realm of rejuvenation and rejuvenation, supporting a force with the intention of occupying the White Snake Land.

If he succeeds, the Great Chief of the Eastern Territory will ignore his own laws and recognize him as the leader of the new White Snake Land. If he fails, the Great Chief of the Eastern Territory will give him a more remote and barren territory with almost nothing, and use this as a condition in exchange for the support of the powerhouse of the Rejuvenating Realm to support him in the future war with the steppe beast tribe.

Zhao Hong smiled bitterly: "The rules of the barbarian king are right." ”

Jing Donggu nodded: "Yes, it is the rule of the barbarian king." ”

If there is a disagreement, it can be resolved by fists, and the strong are respected, this is the rule of the barbarian king.

"So this war is to decide whether the powerhouse of the rejuvenating realm can get the White Snake Land?

Unexpectedly, Jing Donggu denied this statement: "That's not the case, I haven't finished talking yet, don't rush to conclusions." If it was related to the powerhouse of the rejuvenation realm, I would not be involved in it. The powerhouse of the rejuvenation realm has already taken ownership of this place. The White Snake Land is equivalent to changing from the area directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Chief of the Eastern Territory to the territory of the rejuvenated powerhouse. This war is an internal split after the new master takes over the territory, whether the White Snake Land will continue to maintain the original pattern, or let the emerging autonomous alliance reshuffle, both ways have their pros and cons, the strong man in the realm of rejuvenation is not good at this way and does not know how to decide, so he will let it go, and he is too lazy to care, as long as he has money to take it. And if I'm not mistaken, the outbreak of civil war in the White Snake Land is more in line with the mind of the rejuvenating and rejuvenating powerhouse. He could take the opportunity to see the situation of the strong in his territory. ”

Zhao Hong asked, "We are conservatives, do we support the White Snake City Lord?"

"Yes, I personally have some interests in the White Snake Land that I don't want to lose casually, and supporting the Five Cities of the White Snake Land is my best choice. However, there is a limit to what I can provide, and the benefits here are not worth the risk of me, and if things don't work out, I'll leave, and as for you, ....... ”

"Of course I'm with you. ”

Jing Donggu smiled: "I know, you must be standing with me." I mean, it's better for you to get as little out as possible in this war in White Snake City, and it won't be easy to get out of the war when the time comes. ”

"I'm not interested in war, my purpose is to save the life of the city lord of White Snake City, that's all. If it weren't for the capture of the city lord of White Snake City this time, I wouldn't have left the city. ”

"It's for the best. ”

After a night of idleness, at noon the next day, Zhao Hong and Jing Donggu set off for Lintian Mountain.

In addition to the two of them, there were also 5 holy warriors led by Jing Donggu, whose strength was above Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong led the way, Jing Donggu followed, and the five people followed.

They also met the convoy sent by Jingdong Valley to Lintian Mountain to carry Zhao Hong's belongings overnight, and the convoy took the first step, but it was not easy to walk in the snowfield, the road was bumpy, and the path into the Tianshan Mountain was tortuous and difficult. Their speed was far inferior to Zhao Hong's party.

When the group arrived at Lintian Mountain, Zhao Hong took them to jump up Lintian Mountain, found the passage of the cave in the belly of the mountain, and walked towards the cave in the belly of the mountain.

After entering the cave in the belly of the mountain, because they knew that the convoy was full of ordinary people, and it was not easy for those people to climb from here to the cave in the middle of the mountain, so those holy warriors helped to carry the belongings in the cave in the belly of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, so that they could be carried after the convoy came.

And Jingdong Valley first went to the top of the mountain to check the situation of the Lintian tribe.

Zhao Hong found a gap, entered the cave in the belly of the mountain, secretly found the entrance to the secret place of the cardinal sect, put it on his body, and began to carry his belongings.
