Chapter 187: A Rescue Mission That Ended Suddenly
Sensing Li Youcai's doubts, Zhong Kui opened his mouth to explain: "Not long ago, the True Liberals and the coalition forces from the outside world fought another big war. ”
"This is because the blood-colored seaweed mass is free, and the true free lose the hole cards that threaten the gods. ”
"Therefore, the territory of the true free has shrunk again, if it weren't for the gods who were worried that the true free would take the risk and break the jar and destroy all the remaining three desperate situations, they even planned to directly wipe out the fire of the true free people in one fell swoop, and completely wipe out the tentacles of the outer gods in the sea of freedom. ”
"The area that our underworld team was supposed to be responsible for exploring, but because of the shrinkage of the territory of the True Liberals, it was directly occupied by the Guardian Alliance, so we didn't have the task of collecting intelligence, and we went straight to here. ”
Hearing Zhong Kui's explanation, Li Youcai understood the reason.
In fact, when he was investigating intelligence in other locations before, he also heard about this battle between the two sides.
It's just that Li Youcai and the three of them are in charge of exploring, and it is a relatively central location in the territory of the True Liberal, which has not been affected by the war.
Moreover, the results of the battle should have been considered a military secret at that time, and they were not easily detected by the three of them, so Li Youcai did not know that the territory of the True Liberals was shrinking.
Listening to the good news from outside, Li Youcai's mood was naturally good.
The world of the Sea of Freedom is a battleground for the two forces, and now that the bloody seaweed has been successfully rescued, the guardians are united like a rainbow, and this good news naturally makes the team members even more excited.
Because I don't know what the situation is in the territory of the True Liberals, it is usually Li Youcai who goes to contact the outside world.
And unless the powers of the outside world have to do it as a last resort, or if there is extremely urgent information, they will not easily disturb Li Youcai's clone.
In case Li Youcai and they are in a big battle, the powerful man disturbs his doppelganger and distracts him, so that the ongoing battle fails, and may even lead to the annihilation of the entire army, then the real gains outweigh the losses.
It is estimated that it will take some time before everyone arrives, so the people who have arrived are chatting with each other, and by the way, they share the information they have gathered.
Of course, they arranged the personnel of patrols and guards.
In fact, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about this information, after all, the members of the team have no official status in the territory of the True Liberals, and can only rely on patrols outside the city and observations when passing through the city to gather information.
To sum up, it is just that the loss of the true free people is relatively large, and even Li Youcai and the three of them once overheard, and some of the patrolmen talked to each other, and heard that they themselves began to have doubts about this war, and even the gods they believed in.
Of course, these words are in private, after all, the cultivation method of the true free is to sacrifice sacrifices to the outer gods in exchange for power.
Therefore, on the bright side, all the truly free people will not have the slightest complaint against the gods they believe in.
But Li Youcai's overheard conversation also showed that these true liberals had begun to have a lot of resentment against the gods in private.
After all, in the eyes of the outer gods, these true liberals are just some cannon fodder, and they don't take them too seriously.
And the Rhapsody Company detachment led by Raven and the Abyss team led by Lilith all brought some similar information.
Even in the mouth of one of the ignorant people controlled by Lilith with enchantment, there was an extremely interesting piece of information, that is, some voices within the True Free have begun to appear that want to break away from the rule of the outer gods.
To be precise, it is certain believers who are preaching doctrines that are different from the current mainstream of the outer god trade.
They claim that some of the outer gods want to break free from the grasp of Athathoth, and they do not want to destroy the world, but want to take root here.
Living here as an ordinary creature, if you entrust these nephews, then they will not have to form an antagonistic relationship with the native creatures, and they will not be attacked by the gods.
Hearing this, Li Youcai couldn't help but think of Carrickett.
Combined with Carricket's previous performance in front of Li Youcai, Li Youcai could not judge that he was afraid that Carrickt was one of the members of this sect, and even he suspected that Carricket was the initiator of this sect.
From this association, is Turzcha, the "Lord of the Green Flame" that Carricket believes in, the same one propagated by this sect, those outer gods who do not want to compete with the local forces?
Li Youcai felt that his guess was very close to the truth, so he felt that if he could, he must contact Carrickett this time.
With such a force maneuvering inside, and then cooperating with the Guardian Alliance, it doesn't seem so difficult to take down the outer gods.
In the next few days, the personnel of the twelve detachments arrived one after another.
When everyone arrived, they began to discuss what to do.
This time, it is impossible to enter it disguised as a caravan or something like last time, after all, the Flame Mountain is not a city, there is no need to do business there, and now all the guards stationed there are master guards, not even ordinary guards
Li Youcai, the most direct way for them to attack now is to form a formation and attack it.
However, although the Flame Mountain itself does not have many protective formations, the stones and high temperature composed of it have become its best means of protection in a sense.
With a little control of the Old Rulers within, the Flaming Mountains themselves can be used as a powerful weapon to attack or defend.
If the team members can't break through the defenses on the flames in a short time, then wait for the rescue team to be sent by other cities, and the rescue team will be unlucky.
If you can't sneak in, you may be surrounded by people if you force your actions.
Li Youcai and the others looked as if they were caught in the Jedi, but fortunately, the big bosses of the gods had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been before, and this would probably be the easiest place to suppress.
This response is also very simple, in fact, it is to attack the west.
On the way to the Flame Mountain Range, Li Youcai had already sent a clone to the place of suppression where the Vulcan Fish was suppressed.
It is also an ice prison built by the outer gods, and the entire prison is carved from a piece of eternal ice, on which the "key to the door" Yog Sotos has blessed many laws of time and space, and the Vulcan fish is imprisoned in it
The situation there is very similar to that of the Flaming Mountain, because it is a large, independent prison, so there are no idle people inside, except for a few demigod guards who are the old rulers.
After all, in that extreme environment, ordinary creatures would have been frozen into ice cubes long ago.
Li Youcai's doppelganger floated outside the Ice Arrow, Zheng in an extremely hidden place
Next, he will teleport all nine members of the team who failed to devour the power of Basatan here, and they will form a formation to attack the Ice Hell.
In this way, the Ice Prison will turn to other places for help.
The people who support there must not be ordinary demigods, otherwise it will not be effective at all, and the most likely thing is that the other two old rulers in the desperate location will come to support.
As long as those old rulers leave the place where they are suppressed, it is equivalent to creating opportunities for Li Youcai and them.
As soon as the Old Dominators left the Flame Mountain Range, Li Youcai and the others would immediately launch a strong attack.
Anyway, after those old rulers left the Flame Mountain Range, they would not be able to preside over the defense work of the Flame Mountain Range, so with the strength of the Thirty-Six Gang Formation, it would not be a problem to conquer the Mountain Range in a short period of time and go in to rescue.
Of course, there are some loopholes in this plan, but the bosses of the gods have also made detailed plans.
So, everything is already in place, just waiting for the implementation of the plan.
When Li Youcai sent the nine team members outside the Cold Ice Prison, an accident occurred.
That is, when the nine team members formed a formation to attack the Ice Prison, they found that the Ice Prison was easily breached.
The prison's defensive formation showed no sign of opening at all, and the nine team members suspected fraud, so they didn't even use all their strength in this attack.
But it was such an attack, but it was a big hole in the ice prison.
Immediately after that, the sirens sounded in the Ice Hell, and several demigods rushed out of the Ice Prison together.
Just rushed out of prison, there were only three demigods in total.
It seems that there are only these three demigods guarding this extremely important ice prison from beginning to end.
This made several team members a little confused, and on the other hand, Li Youcai had been watching the actions of the nine team members.
So he also told the twenty-seven members on the other side of the team everything that happened here.
Everyone felt very strange about what was happening in the Ice Prison.
Obviously, the location of the desperate situation should be the top priority, why is the defense force so weak?
Everyone immediately sensed the strangeness, and several people with rich experience in warfare, including Michael, immediately noticed something.
Michael immediately ordered three transporters to teleport the other nine team members, and directly let the thirty-six team members form a thirty-six gang array.
Then, this large array directly took the gatekeeper of the underworld as the main body, and summoned a huge nether ship.
This time, they drove directly into the Nether Ship and sneaked towards the interior of the Flaming Mountains.
The Netherworld Ship was already good at space jumping, and this time, with the blessing of the Thirty-six Gang Array, it directly broke through the protective formation of the Flame Mountain Range and reached the interior of the Flame Mountain Range.
It's just that when they entered, they found that there were no guards here, and the entire interior of the Flaming Mountain had long been empty.
Whether it was the subspace where the Ice God Fish was imprisoned, or the defensive circle here had long been emptied, there was now an empty shelf left in the entire Flame Mountain Range.
It's not that there's nothing left, there are still three true liberals here who have just entered the demigod realm.
In just an instant, these three people were taken down by Li Youcai and them, and then Lilith personally took control of them, and got the whereabouts of the Ice God Fish from their mouths.
It turned out that the outer gods noticed that the rescue team sent by the gods was not so easy to deal with.
So he simply changed his strategy and moved all the Ice God Fish and Vulcan Fish to another location, that is, the True Liberty City where the orange meat ball was imprisoned.
At the same time, the cores of the Flame Mountain Range and the Ice Prison were also brought over, and a set of Yin and Yang formations was formed with these two sets of cores, so that the forces within the Ice God Fish and the Fire God could cancel each other out.
In this way, there is no need for the Flame Mountain or the Ice Hell, and the power of these two divine fish can be suppressed.
The True Liberals have concentrated all their high-end combat power in the True Liberty City, including the remaining six Old Dominators and hundreds of demigods.
But now that Seventy percent of the forces of the True Liberals have been gathered in True Liberty City, the defense level of True Liberty City has surpassed those war fortresses on the border.
Hearing what these controlled demigods had done, the faces of the rescue team members were not good-looking.
It is clear that the true liberals are going to take a desperate gamble. Gather all your power to the Zheng of True Free City
In this way, even if the rescue team really had the ability to kill the Old Dominator in an instant, they would definitely have time to destroy these three desperate realms.
The other party arranged it like this, and it would be difficult for Li Youcai and their rescue team to play a role again.
The rescue team sent back the latest information they had obtained to the gods, and the Mighty had already taken this situation into account.
So soon they gave Li Youcai and them a new order, that is, to evacuate.
Let the group of thirty-six evacuate the territory of the True Liberals and go to the Guardian Alliance army to stand by.
The abrupt suspension of the mission made Li Youcai and them a little confused.
Especially Li Youcai, his cultivation has just broken through, and he thought he would be able to show his strength.
Although when he rescued the blood-colored seaweed group before, he could be regarded as a big shine.
But now, when he thought that he could carry out the task smoothly, he encountered great problems and had to terminate it completely, which made Li Youcai feel a feeling of walking at night in brocade.
However, since it was an order personally issued by the bosses of the gods, they had no way to disobey it and began their respective evacuations.
In fact, the way they evacuated was very simple, that is, three transport personnel led their teammates to carry out long-distance space teleportation.
It only takes a dozen seconds for thirty-six team members to be teleported to the area controlled by the Guardian Alliance.
It's just that everyone else left, but Li Youcai's own doppelganger ended up staying.
This was secretly assigned by Dazun, and Li Youcai had other things to complete.
In terms of the strength of frontal combat, although Li Youcai is good among demigods, compared to other peak demigods, there is still a huge distance.
But when it comes to life-saving means, Li Youcai can rank among the top three among all the half-bodies of the gods.
One of the very important reasons is that Li Youcai did not hide his original soul in the Dao.
The demigods can't see through each other's primordial gods, unless they destroy each other's physical bodies first, so that the other party's hidden primordial gods in the Great Dao will naturally appear.
And this kind of manifested primordial god can only be seen and captured by other half-bodies, and below the demigod can't even find the current primordial god in the countless earthly avenues.
That is, even if the body of the demigod is eliminated under the demigod, he will not be able to find the primordial god in the complicated earth avenue.
This is also why, in the endless years, only a few of the existence below the demigod have successfully killed the demigod.
And to the level of the true god sect leader above the demigod, or saint.
It was the existence that had already carried the Earth Avenue with itself, and their control of the Earth Avenue had reached a new level.
They don't even need to destroy the body of a demigod, they can directly find the hidden half-body primordial god in the Great Dao of the Earth.
This is also why whether a party has a saint or a true god will have a thousand different treatments.
Because of the Saint Rao's side, it was easy to strangle all the cultivators under the saints, including the demigods.
Even the demigods are just powerful ants in the eyes of the saints.
Even in the eyes of the saints, demigods or masters of the Mahayana period are more vulnerable than ordinary people.
Because their primordial gods are exposed to the Great Dao, as long as they reach the level of controlling the Great Dao, that is, reaching the level of saints, they can directly wipe out the existence of the demigods from the origin.
After all, even the Yuan Shen was controlled by the other party, and no matter how strong the body was, it had no intention.
Therefore, if there is no saint-level existence in the own faction, then when the two sides are fighting, the demigods will become meat on the chopping block, allowing the other master to ravage at will.
Nowadays, there are three mainstream cultivation methods among the gods.
One is the cultivation of mana, or energy, which is the method passed down by Hongjun Daoist.
The second is to cultivate the natal artifact, that is, to cultivate the magic weapon into one's own body, and carry the earth avenue at one time, which is the method left by God.
The third is to believe in the cultivation method, to sacrifice to the target you trust, and the gods you trust will also give power, which is the cultivation method of the Azathos lineage.
But when these three cultivation methods are cultivated to the demigod level, they all have to entrust their primordial spirit in the earth avenue.
Hongjun's energy cultivation method is to wrap the primordial spirit with energy and store it in the Zheng of the Void Dao
God's natal magic weapon cultivation method is to use the powerful natal magic weapon to explore and even surrender the earth avenue, and then store the original god in the Zheng of the earth avenue that has been surrendered
And Azathoth's belief cultivation method is to open up an avenue suitable for the storage of the primordial gods by the gods who are believed.
That is to say, these three cultivation methods fundamentally do not focus on the physical body, but on one's own soul.
However, Li Youcai's cultivation of the "Foodie Treasure Book", or the "Gluttonous True Scripture" created by Dazun at the beginning, is a special method for completely cultivating the physical body and integrating one's own primordial spirit into the physical body.
Therefore, Li Youcai became one of the very few demigods among the gods who did not have a primordial god.
This is also why Li Youcai has become the best candidate for the infiltration mission.
If other demigods appeared in front of the saint, the saint could easily see through their cultivation.
There is no other reason, you even have the primordial god already stored in the Lin Dao, how can it be an existence under the demigods.
Moreover, the saint can see through the primordial gods hidden in the ground at a glance, and those demigods have no room for hiding at all.
As for the demigods and below, except for a very small number of strange races endowed with extraordinary talents, they are ordinary demigods in front of the saints, and it is possible to see through their abilities.
And Li Youcai will be the only one who has the potential to deceive the Holy Rao Demigod.
In addition, he was already good at the art of change, and even now he could conjure the breath of an outer god.
Therefore, Li Youcai will be an extremely important chess piece, and now let him leave a clone in the territory of the True Liberal.
The purpose is to allow him to break into the inside of the World Destroyer.
Because next, the powers of the gods are ready to launch a general attack on the Alliance of the True Liberals.
Since the other party intends to defend the last three desperate situations, the powers of the gods are not prepared to forcibly rescue them, because then they are likely to pay a lot of casualties than they will lose.
It is better to annihilate the other party directly, and it is a big deal to lose three desperate situations and make the sea of freedom more chaotic, but solving this hidden danger once and for all is also more beneficial than disadvantageous.
Therefore, after weighing the various interests, the bosses of the gods - in fact, the main ones are the Western Hall and the Eastern Thirty-six Circles - jointly discussed and decided: to launch a general attack.
As orders were issued, the Guardian Alliance began to dispatch troops, constantly sending heavy soldiers to the borders of the True Liberals.
The friction between the two sides gradually escalated to a medium-scale battle, and finally a large-scale battle broke out.
The True Liberals also felt the determination of the other party at this time, and after they issued a statement that they would destroy the three desperate situations and disturb the sea of freedom, they found that the Guardian Alliance did not respond at all, but began to increase the intensity of the war, and they understood that the other party was also ready to make a desperate bet and planned to fight to the death with them.
At this time, the True Liberals Alliance fell into an awkward situation, and they were afraid that the other party would feint.
If the demigods and old rulers in True Free City are sent out to fight, then True Free City will fall into a state of emptiness, and the opposing side's lurkers are likely to take advantage of the weakness.
But if these people are not sent, then there will be a lack of demigod-level combat power on the border.
Doing so is like opening the door completely, allowing the other party to come in and ravage it.
The True Liberals have asked their Outer Gods for advice on what to do next.
Then the outer gods gave them a simple instruction - to defend it.
But at the same time, the outer gods gave the demigods and the old rulers different instructions, that is, to evacuate and destroy the desperate situation.
So, when the low-level true liberals are desperately guarding their territory on the front line.
The demigods and old rulers of True Free City were evacuated with the help of the independent passage opened by Yog Sothoth, the "key to the door".
At the same time as they evacuated, the Circle of Destruction was activated, destroying the entire True Free City and the three desperate places held within it, turning them into nothingness.
With the annihilation of the true free journey, the end of the true free has come.
Without high-end combat power, without the support of the demigod pinnacle and the old rulers, the armies of the True Liberals began to retreat.
