Chapter 485: Natural and Man-made Disasters
The next day, the feudal lords of the Cangsong Domain who were close to them came one after another, although they did not pour out like the Storm Domain and the Storm Domain, but they were much more eager and active than before.
After Gu Zheng only appeared for a short time, he handed them over to the Cangsong Domain Lord for unified deployment and walked away. When it comes to understanding the defense line of the Cangsong Domain and the alien beasts in the sea area, of course, it is the Cangsong Domain Lord who has the deepest understanding.
The Lord of the Cangsong Domain was overjoyed, especially after learning that Gu Zheng was going to sit here for a long time, he was even more overjoyed, and took the initiative to open up an open space for Gu Zheng on the side of the Linhai Pavilion of the Cangsong Temple.
Gu Zheng placed his palace in it, not only to cultivate with peace of mind, but also to overlook the endless sea and gain insight into the variables of the nearby sea.
Of course, the Cangsong Domain Lord understood that having Gu Zheng, the hall master at the top of the king list, was definitely of far-reaching significance. Internally, it can deter Xiaoxiao, and externally it can also take action to control the enemy, so that the Cangsong Domain can truly be called impregnable.
Hundreds of Xuanjian masters from the Evergreen Domain also came to the Cangsong Domain on the same day, led by the two divine envoys Ye Huan and Wu Ya, stationed on the defense line not far from Gu Zheng, ready to fight at any time.
That night, the Cangsong Domain Lord even held a rare banquet in the temple to entertain the Xuanjian masters from all sides, and he unabashedly respected Gu Zheng at the banquet.
After the dinner, the Lord of the Cangsong Domain invited Gu Zheng to come to the Linhai Pavilion again, facing the sea, and watching the stars and moon rise and fall.
"Seniors seem to still have hidden worries?" Gu Zheng looked at the calm sea in the moonlight in the distance, and after being silent for a long time, he looked at the main path of Cangsong Domain, who was preoccupied.
The Cangsong Domain Lord sighed and said, "Great Hall Lord, I'm wondering where the throne has gone. ”
Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he said strangely: "Could it be that the seniors are still worried that we won't be able to stop the sea beasts from attacking?"
The Cangsong Domain Lord hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The Great Hall Lord, please forgive me, it's not that I don't trust the Hall Lord. It's just that the situation of the alien beasts in the sea is very complicated, and once they sense that the throne is gone, I'm afraid there will be changes. ”
"This sea area with a radius of 3,000 miles is the territory of the sea beast eight-clawed poisonous crow. They have plagued the North for thousands of years, but the Throne has never killed them. Do you know why?"
Gu Zheng shook his head, he naturally didn't know. However, when the Lord of the Cangsong Domain mentioned this, he was also a little puzzled as to why he hadn't completely driven these sea beasts away in the past.
After the Lord of the Cangsong Domain took a large sip of the spirit, he continued: "The reason is very simple, it's not that the throne is unwilling, but that he can't do it, or that the price he has to pay is too great. ”
Gu Zheng was slightly surprised, and said with a slightly correct expression: "What do the predecessors mean, in the eight-clawed poison crow clan, there are powerhouses comparable to the Golden Dragon Throne?"
If this is the case, the current Golden Dragon Continent is really dangerous, because the Golden Dragon Throne is not as simple as retreat, but has fallen without suspense.
The Cangsong Domain Lord did not hesitate and said, "The Golden Dragon Throne is already the king of kings, and the Eight-clawed Poison Crow clan should not be so strong. However, as far as I know, there are three peak beast kings in this clan, and their strength is probably not weaker than the two hall masters of the Dragon Scale Divine Guard Palace. ”
"If these three beast kings go to sea, they are naturally not the opponents of the Golden Dragon Throne. But if it is hidden at the bottom of the sea, even if the throne personally asks for it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win. That's why such a stalemate has formed. The Cangsong Domain Lord followed up.
"So, are the seniors worried that these three beast kings will surface and attack the city on a large scale?" Gu Zheng understood, after losing the deterrence of the Golden Dragon Throne, the peak king of the eight-clawed poisonous crow clan was likely to be unscrupulous.
At that time, not only will the throne not be there, but even those powerhouses in the Golden Dragon Domain will probably be scattered, and it will be difficult to do anything.
Relying only on the Dragon Divine Eye Guard Hall and these nearby fiefdoms, if you want to block the sea beast herd that has invaded on a large scale, it is really more than lucky.
"If that happens, the devastation of life in the North is only one aspect. If we can't defend ourselves against the orcs and suffer too many casualties, I'm afraid that the surrounding continents will also take advantage of the fire. At that time, the Golden Dragon Continent will really be a catastrophe and become a vassal of others. The Cangsong Domain Lord smiled bitterly.
When Gu Zheng heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while, if it really reached that situation, he couldn't stay out of it, unless he gave up the foundation of the Golden Dragon Continent and was alone.
"Alas...... The continent cannot be left without an owner for a day. If something really happens to the throne, I hope that someone can stand up as soon as possible and make decisions for this continent that has been inherited for thousands of years, and not implicate the innocent. The Cangsong Domain Lord sighed.
Gu Zheng's spirit was shocked, and the words of the Cangsong Domain Lord reminded him. The lord of the continent, it's not that he can't do it, he just needs the right opportunity and stronger strength.
Gu Zheng couldn't predict now what would happen on the continent if the news of the fall of the Golden Dragon Throne really spread.
When the time comes, will the most powerful forces in the Golden Dragon Domain still be able to hold on? Can the hundreds of domain lords on the continent still be suppressed by Gu Zheng, the main hall master of the Dragon Divine Divine Guardian Palace, who exists in name only?
It's complicated and difficult, but that's where the real opportunity comes in. If you want to seize the opportunity, you need to overwhelm the strength and power of the crowd, and Gu Zheng is far from enough now.
Therefore, the top priority is to improve one's own strength, and not to waste a single moment.
Thinking about the key, Gu Zheng no longer hesitated, and after leaving the Linhai Pavilion, he returned to his palace, or cultivated behind closed doors or traveled outside the world to hone his swordsmanship.
Reaching Gu Zheng's current realm, even if he doesn't come out, it is enough to kill the enemy thousands of miles away, and the sword is as good as a person's presence.
In the following period of time, the Xuanjian Masters on the defense line of the Cangsong Domain could often see the sea vision, which was spectacular.
Sometimes the clouds roll and obscure the sky, and after a sudden rainstorm, the sea is dyed red.
Sometimes the flames burn the sky, the beasts roar repeatedly, and the meteorite erupts from the bottom of the sea, steaming up a large amount of sea fog.
Sometimes ten thousand swords are fired together, like a god descending from the sky, falling into the sea, and the golden light fills the sky.
Sometimes the wind suddenly rises, stirring up huge waves, blowing up layers of waves, rolling out the bones of countless sea beasts.
There are also the most terrifying visions, violent storms and golden flames, which descend at the same time, turning the nearby sea upside down.
And the Cangsong Domain, which was close at hand, was safe and sound, and he hadn't even seen a sea beast attack.
This natural disaster for more than a month seems to have deliberately forgotten the human beings on the shore, and only aimed at that sea area.
Many humans near the defense line of the Cangsong Domain began to kneel down to thank the heavens and the earth, thanking the heavens and the earth for their blessings and expelling the sea beasts.
Only a few domain masters knew that this was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster, and it was that one who was practicing swords. It's just that this power is even more powerful than natural disasters, so that the strange beasts in the nearby sea areas dare not come forward, where is there a chance to take the initiative to attack the city?
