In a stone hall, Zhao Yiming and Qu Zhengqi sat opposite each other.

Looking at Zhao Yiming on the other side, Qu Zhengqi said with a smile: "I heard that this time Yongwu Hou attacked Hutou Mountain, your cannon fodder army performed well, and there were not many casualties, which can be described as a big victory." ”

Zhao Yiming smiled bitterly and said: "The general said that he was joking, three hundred living people were gone in a blink of an eye, how could it be that there were not many casualties?"

Qu Zhengqi said with a straight face: "Zhao boy, you have to make it clear, this is a military camp, you have experienced a war, you only saw that your cannon fodder army died more than 300 people, but do you know how many people died in the entire Yongwu army? More than 20,000 people died!"

"I understand, this is the cruelty of war!" Zhao Yiming said silently.

Qu Zhengqi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Just because we all know the cruelty of war, we must put the war in the wilderness, as long as we resist the demon clan here, then our relatives who live in the rear will not experience this kind of cruel war like us." ”

Zhao Yiming nodded, he understood this truth, however, he asked with some curiosity: "General, the demon clan should be the common enemy of our entire human race, but why are only the three major empires of the Shenzhou Continent resisting the demon clan in the wilderness, why don't those holy lands take action?"

This is the doubt in Zhao Yiming's heart, just one Great Xia Empire has three holy lands, the other two empires, there must be many holy lands, so many holy places combined, it is definitely a terrifying force.

You must know that the people in those holy places are all elites, and they are all the strongest of the strong, and if they make a move, the demon clan will not have to worry.

After listening to Zhao Yiming's words, Qu Zhengqi shook his head and smiled: "Zhao boy, you are wrong, those holy lands are not not unproductive, but the saints among them and the holy beasts of the demon clan have an agreement, and they can't make a move against each other, otherwise they will only lose both." ”

Zhao Yiming was puzzled: "Saints and holy beasts restrain each other, I understand this, but in the holy land, there are not only saints, those strong people under the saints, there are definitely not a few in the holy land, but why don't they make a move?"

Qu Zhengqi sighed: "It's because of the oracle, when the water god came into the world, he left an oracle. The three empires of our human race are responsible for resisting the demon army, so our three empires have been ruling the Shenzhou Continent and enjoying great power. And those holy places are responsible for recruiting geniuses and cultivating martial arts powerhouses, and they don't need to deal with the war of the demon clan before they become holy. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yiming faintly understood that the three empires were responsible for the war of the huge number of armies under the saints, while the holy land was responsible for cultivating saints for the human race and ensuring the high-end combat power of the human race.

"Okay, where did you have so many problems, these things are not what you are qualified to participate in now, it is better to improve your strength, accumulate military merits, and be promoted to general. Qu Zhengqi waved his hand and scolded with a smile.

Zhao Yiming smiled bitterly when he heard this: "General, I came here to ask you for help this time, that brave martial artist Hou Ke deducted my military exploits, and if this continues, I will not be able to accumulate enough military merits to be promoted to general." ”

"Oh, there's such a thing?" Qu Zhengqi's face changed slightly when he heard this.

Zhao Yiming immediately told the matter.

After Qu Zhengqi listened, he suddenly groaned: "Yongwu Hou is testing Tianwu Hou!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yiming wondered, why did he get involved with Tianwu Hou.

Qu Zhengqi looked at Zhao Yiming and said in a deep voice: "Yongwu Hou questioned that you couldn't kill the demon beasts of the Transformation Realm, this is judged according to the thinking of normal people, and most of us would not think that you can kill the demon beasts of the Transformation Realm in the True Martial Realm, and you can kill so many." ”

Zhao Yiming gritted his teeth and said: "Just because of their normal thinking, can they deny my combat exploits? I can show my strength in public, and then won't the reason of Yongwu Hou be self-defeating?"

"How do you show your strength? Find a few Changeable Realms to compete with you? Who are you looking for?"

Qu Zhengqi shook his head and said, "A martial artist of the Transformation Realm who doesn't know you will not offend the Shenwu Marquis and the Yongwu Marquis for you." And the two mutant realms of your cannon fodder army, after all, are your people, and if you compete with them, others will not believe it. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Zhengqi stared at Zhao Yiming and said in a deep voice: "The most important point is that you have to make Tianwu Hou believe in you, but the question is, do you think Tianwu Hou will specially make an occasion for you to show your strength and deny Yongwu Hou?"

Zhao Yiming was stunned.

Qu Zhengqi continued: "Because I helped you last time, and because I am the descendant of Tianwu Hou, Yongwu Hou is testing whether Tianwu Hou will be on your side. ”

"If Tianwu Hou helped you this time, it means that Tianwu Hou is on your side, then the next war will not be between you and Shenwu Hou, but a war between Tianwu Hou and Shenwu Hou. ”

Qu Zhengqi looked at Zhao Yiming and shook his head and said: "Yongwu Hou, he obviously misunderstood Tianwu Hou, only I know that Tianwu Hou will not be on your side." ”

Zhao Yiming smiled bitterly: "Of course, I don't know him, I'm just a small person, he has no reason to stand on my side against Shenwu Hou." ”

Qu Zhengqi sighed: "So, don't expect Tianwu Hou to give you special treatment, so that you can prove that your strength can leapfrog and kill through the Variable Realm, this path will not work at all." ”

Zhao Yiming gritted his teeth and said, "Then what about when I am promoted to the Tongchang Realm? At that time, Yongwu Hou will have no reason to say that I can't kill the demon beasts of the Tongchang Realm, right?"

Qu Zhengqi shook his head and said, "He can say that you have just been promoted to the Transformation Realm, but in the early stage of the Transformation Realm, you still can't kill too many Demon Beasts in the Transformation Realm." ”

"But my talent is very strong, and I obviously won the first place in the Holy Land Battle, can't I even kill the enemy by leaping over the level?" Zhao Yiming said.

Qu Zhengqi said in a deep voice: "The mouth grows on the body of the Marquis of Yongwu, he is your direct superior, and he is also the object of the handover with the Marquis of Tianwu, he can say whatever he wants about you." ”

When Zhao Yiming heard this, he immediately asked unwillingly: "Then haven't I never had the opportunity to accumulate combat merits." ”

"Not necessarily!"

Qu Zhengqi's eyes flashed, and he said to Zhao Yiming: "We have received news that in a few months, the demon clan will gather a large army to attack our camp, and at that time, all of us will participate in this war. ”

Zhao Yiming's eyes showed a look of shock when he heard this, involving all the demon slaying armies?

Qu Zhengqi looked at Zhao Yiming who was in shock, and said with a smile: "This is a crisis for you, but also an opportunity, if you can get dazzling results in this battle, then in front of everyone, Yongwuhou will not be able to deny your exploits." ”

Zhao Yiming's eyes lit up at first, and then he smiled bitterly: "With my strength, in such a huge war, I'm afraid I won't even be able to make a splash." ”

Zhao Yiming was still prescient, even if he could be promoted to the Transformation Realm within a few months, at that time, with two drops of Holy Beast Essence Blood, he could leapfrog against the powerhouses of the Five Yuan Realm.

But in such a huge war, there are countless powerhouses in the Five Yuan Realm, and there are even many powerhouses in the Sanyang Realm, and his strength is not enough to make him famous in one fell swoop.

"It's at least an opportunity, and it's up to you whether you can succeed or not. Sometimes, victory is made by people. Qu Zhengqi encouraged.

Zhao Yiming nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I understand, I will seize this opportunity." ”

......

Bidding farewell to Qu Zhengqi, Zhao Yiming returned to the cannon fodder army camp.

Yu Deshou and Hu Jingming hurriedly ran over to inquire about the situation.

Zhao Yiming shook his head and said, "It's useless, Tianwu Hou won't fight with Shenwu Hou and Yongwu Hou for my little person." ”

"Damn, officials protect each other, I didn't expect Tianwu Hou to be such a person. Hu Jingming gritted his teeth and said.

Yu Deshou shook his head and said: "This is normal, Tianwu Hou is also a human being, he is already very fair if he doesn't help Shenwu Hou deal with the general, and you still expect him to help the general fight against Shenwu Hou, that's impossible." ”

Zhao Yiming nodded and said: "I can't ask others for this matter, I can only rely on myself, the general said, next the demon clan will gather a large army to attack our camp, this is a huge war, as long as I show something in it, then in front of everyone, Yongwu Hou will not be able to deny my military exploits." ”

"Armageddon, hey, I didn't expect Armageddon to come again. When Hu Jingming heard this, he immediately looked worried.

Yu Deshou looked at Zhao Yiming's puzzled face and explained: "It's not the first time that a decisive battle like this is the first time, there will be one almost every year, and every time there is a decisive battle, both of us have suffered heavy losses. Especially our cannon fodder army, I'm afraid that if one is not good, it may be wiped out. ”

Zhao Yiming sighed, just the cannon fodder army, and he has to rush to the front, in the face of such a decisive battle, it is indeed easy to annihilate the whole army.

In this regard, Zhao Yiming has no choice, his strength is too weak, and he has no power, so he can't change the fate of the cannon fodder army at all.

"Let's all go back and work hard to cultivate, we're all going to work hard this time. Zhao Yiming said.

Hu Jingming and Yu Deshou nodded, they had experienced the Armageddon, and they knew the horror and cruelty of the Armageddie better than Zhao Yiming.

Even if the two of them no longer took death to heart, they were full of fear in their hearts at this moment, and turned around and left Zhao Yiming's wooden shed.

"In the next few months, I must be promoted to the Transformation Realm, otherwise I will die in the Armageddon, let alone meritorious service. ”

Seeing the two leave, Zhao Yiming's eyes flashed with a determined gaze, this time, he must step into the realm of change.

Slowly closing his eyes, Zhao Yiming meditated on his cultivation.

......

In a large hall.

Yongwuhou listened to the report of his subordinates, and immediately laughed and said: "God really help me, I didn't expect this year's decisive battle to come so early, this time I see what Zhao Yiming's kid has to survive." ”

After laughing, Yongwu Hou immediately summoned the ten generals under his command to come over, issued orders, and arranged defenses.

For him, Zhao Yiming is just a small person, and there is no need to put too much thought into it. He wants to make a great contribution in this decisive battle, and increase the foundation for his future promotion to Wuhou.

That's the most important thing for him.
