Chapter 561: Coalition Forces
With a capable assistant, Lin Xiao's affairs can be reduced a lot, and when Lin Xiao comes back, Nan Xuan has already talked about the matter, and now it is time to discuss some specific troop dispatches.
However, Lin Xiao did not go to meet the representatives of various countries at first, but met with Nan Xuan to learn more about the specific situation, the news about Annan is increasing every day, and he must know himself and his opponent.
"Boss"
"Sit on the south seat and talk about the situation"
"The boss wants to know which aspect of the situation, Annan or each country"
"Let's talk about Annan first, how is it now?"
"It's been three months since the fall of Annan, and the demon cultivator has blocked the entire Annan country, the situation is not very clear, but there is news one after another, first of all, the strength problem, now I know that there are at least two spiritual light monks in the Soul Sect, among which the Heavenly Demon Lord is the strongest, his cultivation should be around the fifth or sixth layer of spiritual light, but he has refined two spiritual level monk souls, through devouring each other, the strength of this divine soul should be above the tenth layer of spiritual light, although it is not more powerful than ordinary spiritual light monks, but the surrounding small countries are not opponents.
The second is the demon cultivator disciples, the Tiansha Demon Lord created the demon pool, and the demon captives, now the demon cultivators should be about thirty or forty thousand people, the core of which is the group of disciples he demonized before, and the soul banner in their hands has refined countless yin souls, there are millions of mortal level alone, and the soul of the monk is not less than fifty thousand, among which there are many Zifu Daogang.
It is precisely by relying on this large number of soul soldiers that they can hold the border, as for the Corpse Yin Sect, it is similar, there are hundreds of thousands of mortal corpse puppets, and there is at least one corpse puppet at the spiritual light level.
The corpse puppets of ordinary monks are about fifty or sixty thousand, as for their core disciples, they don't understand much, but this corpse puppet army is more difficult than the soul soldier army, and the soul soldiers have obvious weaknesses, especially those who are afraid of strong yang energy, but the corpse puppet is difficult to hurt by ordinary swords, it is very difficult, and it is very troublesome to kill a monk corpse puppet."
"Is there any news from the sect master of the Corpse Yin Sect?"
"No, this person is very mysterious, and it's obviously the killer of the Heavenly Demon Lord, basically I haven't heard of it"
"Ye Nanyu, is there a night owl in Annan now?"
"Yes, it's not in the Corpse Yin Sect and the Soul Sect, in Sheng'an City, our Baicheng business is a little over there, and everyone is there, now Sheng'an City is under the control of the demon cultivators, they have set up a formation, the news can't be transmitted, and I don't know what happened to the people in the business."
"At this point, Elder Ye can rest assured, from the current point of view, the Heavenly Demon Lord wants to gain a firm foothold in the Annan Kingdom, since this is the case, he does not dare to offend the Nanzhou Great Power easily, so there is absolutely no major matter for the disciples of the merchants."
Nan Xuan replied that the Heavenly Demon Lord had captured Annan, and in fact, he showed kindness at the beginning, so it can be analyzed that they actually wanted to gain a foothold in Nanzhou, but the mainstream immortal cultivation world would not allow it.
"Okay, then Nanxuan, how much strength do you think it will take if you want to annihilate the Demon Kingdom with the power of the Heavenly Saint Sect?"
"If it's the force of the previous battle in Tianyun City, it's enough."
Nan Xuan replied, before the battle of Tianyun City, two Divine Void Periods, more than twenty Lingguang monks, two hundred Daogang, and ten thousand Purple Mansions, this power is not something that the Demon Kingdom can match, and the entire Nanzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm can not fight much.
"It's impossible for us to organize such a large force to attack, the consumption is too great, so what about the coalition forces, is it formed?"
"No, there are only three countries in contact with Annan, among which the strongest is Wusun State, the other two are small countries, and the rest are not directly bordered, so the matter of sending troops is still being discussed."
"What's the difficulty?"
"Troops, money, although they want to destroy the demon country and eliminate the potential threat, they are not willing to pay too much loss, and the bordering countries are afraid that they will lose too much and be taken advantage of, so they are stuck here"
"Which country is more willing?"
"Wusun Kingdom, Cheshi Country, Yumi Country, these three countries border the territory of Annan, so they are most worried about the invasion of demon cultivation, so they are the most willing"
"Wait, you keep talking about the Wusun Kingdom, but I remember that the national strength of the Wusun Kingdom is much stronger than the Annan Kingdom, and the eight Lingguang Monks can't beat them?"
Lin Xiao suddenly realized that this Wusun Country was wrong, Wusun Country was stronger than Annan Country in terms of national strength and high-end combat power, how could he still ask for help?
"Let me answer this question, more than a hundred years of that beast tide, Wusun Country is the main battlefield of the invasion of the Canglong Lion King, the early losses are very large, the spiritual light monks have fallen directly or indirectly, and then asked the Divine Void period monks to help, it also cost a huge price, it took them more than a hundred years to recover to their previous strength, and the high-end combat power has not yet recovered, that is to say, a beast tide, interrupting their development pace for a hundred years.
There is no overlord sect in Wusun Country, only the overlord family, the Wu family and the Sun family, the Wu family is in the west, the Sun family is in the east, unfortunately, the Lingguang monk Sun family who fell before, now the Sun family has only two Lingguang monks, and the cultivation is relatively low.
Although the relationship between the Wu family and the Sun family is very good, and it is an alliance of interests for thousands of years, the Wu family will not work hard for the Sun family, and they don't dare to consume too much strength, otherwise the rest of the forces of the Wusun country will rebel.
The Sun family's territory borders the Annan Kingdom, and more importantly, there is an unfathomable Netherworld Cave on the Sun family's territory, which is said to lead directly to the Netherworld, this place is of little use to our monks, and the only benefit is to refine the Nine Shades True Water, but for the Demon Cultivator, it is a blessed land, it is conceivable that once the Demon Cultivator wants to annex the surrounding areas, the Sun Family's territory is the first to rush, so the Sun Family must strike first, and they don't have enough strength, so they can only ask us for help."
"Nine Secluded True Water, Sixth-Order Treasures, this Sun family has picked up a treasure"
"How can it be so easy, the Nine Shadows True Water really needs a monk above the spiritual light to refine, and the Sun family uses Daogang monks to refine it, but it costs a lot, and it is basically consumed by elderly Daogang monks who have no path to speak of."
"Is the Nine Shadows True Water in the transaction this time?"
"Yes, the Sun family promised twenty catties of nine shades of true water, which is almost the amount of their twenty years of refinement."
"It's too little, increase the number to three hundred catties, reduce other things, if they can't do it, we can send people and horses to reassure them, we are not interested in the Netherworld Cave, we just want the Nine Shadows True Water"
Lin Xiao replied, the Nine Shadows True Water is a sixth-order spiritual water, and its use is not very wide, but once it is needed, its value will be doubled, and it is almost concentrated in refining and alchemy, and Bai Xueju's two businesses are very strong, even if it is three hundred catties, it is estimated that it is only a few decades of use.
"Yes, this point can definitely be discussed, there is basically nothing else available for the Sun family in the Netherworld Cave."
"Okay, then continue to talk about reinforcements, I don't care about other countries, just say these three countries, they must unite, once the battle begins, they must advance in three ways and completely destroy the demon cultivator"
"What about other countries?"
"Other countries don't care, those who are willing to pay will pay, and those who don't want to pay can not pay, but they want to know that all the spoils of Annan have nothing to do with them, and they can't send people into the war zone at will, and there is that after this incident, these three countries will be protected by the military state for a hundred years, and any invader and the power of the three countries will be the target of our military country's crusade."
"It's still the head of the house, then I don't have to entangle with them, and the three kingdoms will definitely agree, boss, how much strength do you think we can mobilize?"
"The martial country can mobilize 6,000 people, but the cultivation can't be too low, and we have to practice in advance, and when the time comes, our people will be in charge of the big army against each other, and they will be the main force to break the demon country.
As for the high-level monks, it is up to me, Bai Zichen, Jia Mengran, plus one person from the night owl, it is enough, and the Demon Kingdom is at most three or four spiritual light monks."
"What about the Three Kingdoms"
"The strength of the Wusun Kingdom is strong, the mobilization must not be less than 80,000 people, and the other two countries are 50,000, which adds up to 186,000 people, which is several times that of the Demon Kingdom, even if all the corpse puppets and refining corpses are added together, we will not lose"
"Yes, then our Martial Kingdom will have a thousand people, Danyang Sect, Hongshan Gate, Tianhai Gate, Shanhe Sect and Pure Yang Palace, just distributed, we and Pure Yang Palace have more Daogang monks, it should be safe"
"Well, our Dao Gang must have at least thirty or more people, specifically led by Bai Zichen, I will take a group of people to Wusun Country first, and you will practice in Wuguo first."
"How long is better"
"Within a month, are they all ready?"
"A thousand people are easy to mobilize, half a day is enough"
"Okay, then that's it, I'll rest for the night first, and I'll see the envoys of the three kingdoms tomorrow, and the others will send them away, I don't want to see them"
Lin Xiao nodded, for those other countries that are inch-eyed, Lin Xiao doesn't want to see them, demon cultivation is not allowed in the mainstream immortal cultivation world, and now that demon cultivation has been established, he doesn't even want to exterminate it, which makes Lin Xiao very angry.
On the second day, the envoys of the three kingdoms all came to meet Lin Xiao, and the envoys of the three kingdoms were all Daogang monks, but in front of Lin Xiao, they were all very respectful, after all, the Divine Void Period monks were too far away for them.
Nan Xuan was also by Lin Xiao's side, Nan Xuan told Lin Xiao's thoughts, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were immediately overjoyed, as long as there was a group of high-level combat forces from the Martial States to join, they would win.
It's just that the monks of the Sun family of Wusun Country don't dare to rashly agree to the three hundred catties of Nine Shades True Water, the Sun family can only refine one pound of Nine Shades of True Water every year, and the price is extremely high, if it is really three hundred catties, the high-level monks of the Sun family will die.
And it is not a trivial matter for the Wu Kingdom to send people to refine, they are very afraid of the strength of the Wu Kingdom, what if Lin Xiaojiu occupies the magpie's nest and does not leave, will the Sun family still dare to turn their faces?
Therefore, under the pretext that he could not be in charge, the monk of the Sun family first delayed the matter, and wanted to report it to the family, and the Lingguang Ancestor would deal with it, as for the rest, it was not a problem.
