Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Three Birds with One Stone
"My lord, the scale of the demon ambush is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that our arrival has completely awakened them." Li Yuanfang said.
"Yes, that's true, so we can't continue north on the current course, notify all fleets, move 100 miles east, then continue north, and finally go straight west and destroy the Devil's Den. Although this will prolong our combat time, it will also ensure that our voyage will be as smooth as possible. Di Renjie agreed.
In the process of moving eastward, the Demon Destroying Fleet did not encounter a decent scale of interception, and it was obvious that this area was not the key defense area of the Demon Clan. Soon, the Demon Destroying Fleet successfully completed the first step of moving eastward, and then the fleet continued to move north.
"Our original route may have been exposed, and if we continue north, we are likely to encounter a larger ambush, so we changed to the current route." Kaidao.
"Yes, the route will be a little longer, but before the decisive battle, it will ensure that our main force is relatively intact. Next, the ambushes and interceptions we encounter should decrease in size and frequency. However, the demons have been alert to us, and we don't have a thorough understanding of the demons' cave dwelling mountains, so the decisive battle at the last moment must be a vicious battle. Mulan analyzed.
"Although the demons have learned the same from us, they are only demons after all, and they are not comparable to us in terms of wisdom, courage, determination, and unity. Mulan, we must always believe in ourselves, only in this way can we fight until the last moment. Kay encouraged her.
"Hmm." Mulan nodded firmly.
Although Mulan is a heroine and a generation of female generals, no matter how strong her appearance is, she is still a soft woman deep down in her heart, who needs care and consideration. In front of anyone else, Mulan is the embodiment of strength, courage and responsibility, and a majestic image of a man. But only in front of Kai is she willing to take off all the masks and be her true self again.
"The wind and snow seem to have stopped, Mulan, look at the northernmost sky." Kay suddenly noticed something unusual in the sky.
Mulan followed the direction of the sky pointed by Kai Yao, and saw that there were pale green clouds surging into waves, "That's the Northern Lights, it seems that we are about to reach the northernmost point, and it won't be long before we can go west to the devil's den." ”
"It's the first time I've seen anything like this, and if we weren't going to war, I'd really have had a good look here." Kai looked at the unpredictable Northern Lights and was filled with emotion.
"Kill the demons, let's do it together." Mulan said gently.
"yes, okay." Kai stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers with Mulan, and the backs of the two people seemed to be frozen in front of the porthole.
"What? You repeat? "The Bull Demon King couldn't believe his ears.
"As soon as I received the Terran air fleet with a large-scale combat lineup, I immediately sent garrisons from all over the country to intercept it, not long ago, the 10,000 heroic demon troops at the weapon casting place were all tricked by the Terrans, and they were all killed, and none of them were spared." Guiguzi seemed to have a deep sorrow.
"I never expected that the Terrans would brave the dangerous environment of a violent storm and start a war against us in advance. At the same time, I didn't expect that Ming Shiyin wouldn't give me a hint or anything in advance, hum, this ungrateful thing. I knew that today, I shouldn't have helped him sit on this throne in the first place. The Bull Demon King said angrily.
"The king, Ming Shiyin is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and he hopes to seek the greatest interests that belong to him in the chaos that is beneficial to him. This person, when he uses it, must not be used. Guiguzi said.
"The military advisor is right, by the way, where is the Terran fleet sailing now?" The Bull Demon King said.
"They vanished into thin air after the last battle, and did not continue their voyage north, but I have sent a large number of scouts to investigate, and I believe that they will soon be traced." Guiguzi Road.
"No matter which way they go, the final destination is still us. So even if we can't find any trace of them, we are here waiting for them. By the way, Strategist, it's time for your device to destroy the Wall of Time to be tuned to its best. "The Bull Demon King said.
"Yes, my lord, as soon as he heard of their invasion of the North, the old man had already adjusted the destruction device of the Wall of Time to the best of his ability. In addition, all the demon armies have already been fed and sharpened their swords. As long as the Terrans appear, we will kill them without leaving a single piece of armor. Guiguzi said confidently.
"Their fleet can easily put my 10,000 demon army to death, which shows that the weapons carried by the Terrans this time must be unusual." The Bull Demon King said.
"Without the blessing of the Book of Heaven, they can't do it behind closed doors, and the ships that the current Terrans are driving are just upgraded and improved versions of the old Wei warships, and there are no jumping weapon upgrades. In response to their rain of arrows, every demon warrior on the cave dwelling mountain has now put on a heavy and hard gold armor and silver helmet. Not even their thunderbolts can shake our armor. The only threat to us is their boulders, and each cave is equipped with an iron ball projectile that specializes in smashing boulders. If the Terran ships were close to us, the Iron Ball Projectile would be able to hit them directly. Guiguzi said.
"Hahaha, military advisor, with such a meticulous and thoughtful arrangement from you, I am relieved. By the way, there is one last point to be avoided, tornadoes must not be launched again when they are forced to do so, after all, it takes too long to brew once. "The Bull Demon King said.
"Please rest assured, the old man will definitely grasp the best time to launch the tornado." Guiguzi adheres to the Tao.
"Back to Your Majesty, the scouts have listened to the reality of the Demon Killing Alliance." Yi Xingdao.
"Oh? Quick talk. "Ming Shiyin Dao.
"The Demon Killing Alliance has all set out to attack the Northern Demon Clan five days ago, if the Demon Clan is defeated, Di Renjie and they will return in a few days. The exercises and redeployments of military divisions in the surrounding realms are just tricks to confuse and paralyze our eyes. Yi Xing said.
"What?! He Di Renjie didn't expect to come to this show and deceive us all over the place, which is simply unreasonable. If Gu wiped out the armies of the various realms now, in case Di Renjie returned triumphantly, wouldn't it give him an excuse to openly kill Gu! Di Renjie, Di Renjie, your trick is really ruthless, killing three birds with one stone. Not only can he launch a surprise attack on the northern demon army, but he can also confuse Lone's eyes, and finally find a reason to openly kill Lone. After Ming Shiyin finished speaking, he slammed the glass jar in his hand to the ground.
"Your Majesty, what should we do on this occasion?" Yi Xingdao.
"Hey, what else? Send scouts to the north to bring back the battle to Lone. Just go! Ming Shiyin sighed, extremely depressed but helpless.
"Yes, Wechen will do it immediately." Yi Xing obeyed, then turned and retreated.
Yang Jian was holding the polar eyepiece at the moment and looking into the airspace in front of him, and Nezha and Mengqi walked over side by side.
"Brother Yang, how long do we have to reach the Demon Clan's Cave Dwelling Mountain?" Nezha asked.
Yang Jian put down the polar eyepiece, turned sideways and replied: "You all came back after eating, due to the change of route, we still have two days to sail, but fortunately, there is no trace of the ambush of the demon clan, otherwise our voyage will continue to be extended." ”
When Nezha heard this, he seemed to be displeased, and leaned on the gangway behind him. When Yang Jian saw him like this, he didn't know what to do. "What's wrong Nezha, are you feeling unwell?"
Nezha just sighed slightly, then played with his fire-tipped gun, and was indifferent to Yang Jian's answer.
"Haha, I know, what's wrong with little Nezha." Meng said with a grin.
"Mengqi, tell me, what's wrong with him?" Yang Jian turned to Mengqi and asked again.
"The change of voyage made him want to urgently punish the demon's enthusiasm, and it cooled down again and again, and the person became a little bipolar, that's what it looks like, I'm not wrong, little Nezha." Mengqi finally turned to Nezha, as if to confirm it.
The little Jiujiu in Nezha's heart was suddenly punctured by a cute pet who could just talk, and the manic depression in his heart was almost ignited. "You talk nonsense again, watch out for your ass, my fire-tipped gun just wiped fresh last night." Nezha's tone was gloomy and cold.
Mengqi was a little frightened by Nezha's words, so he hid behind Yang Jian in a hurry, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yang, look at him, he can't afford a joke, I'll just talk about it, why be so serious." ”
Nezha saw that he pierced someone's Xiao Jiujiu, and deliberately behaved, he couldn't help but raise the fire-tipped gun in his hand and shook it in front of Mengqi, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to show up behind Yang Jian.
"Oh, Nezha, why are you still playing with a child's temper, you know that Mengqi is naturally timid, and you deliberately intimidate him. I understand your desperate desire to avenge the demons, but the change in course is a choice made by the commander for the safety of the entire army. You will endure it for two more days, and you will not be allowed to brush the child's temper again. Yang Jian said bitterly.
Although Nezha has reached the age of rebellion, it is very likely that he will not listen to his parents' words, but Yang Jian's words, he has always complied with them. Now that his father was killed by thieves, his mother was overly sad and recuperating at home, and now the only person who cares about and takes care of Nezha the most is Yang Jian. Therefore, Yang Jian's words, he almost obeyed unconditionally.
"Got it, Brother Yang, I'll make a joke with Mengqi, isn't it too boring to wait." Nezha said.
Yang Jian turned his face and said to the trembling Mengqi behind him: "Mengqi, come out, Nezha will joke with you again, it's okay now." ”
When Mengqi heard Yang Jian's words, he immediately jumped out from behind him. "Hahaha, I knew our little Nezha was joking with me..."
Mengqi's biggest advantage is that he forgets quickly, and he can forget painful things when he says he can forget them. Of course, there are opposite sides to everything, and many important things, he can forget when he says so.
"Don't worry, little Nezha, it's the demons who have made you so unhappy, when I see them, I will definitely teach them a good lesson and give you anger." Meng Qican said with a smile.
"Thanks." Nezha responded to him, and after finishing speaking, an apple changed from behind him and threw it to Mengqi, although Mengqi walked slowly, but the dexterity of his hands was no less than that of ordinary people, and he easily received the apple thrown by Nezha.
"My lord, it's dark again, and today's route is really as you expected, and there are almost no decent ambushes. The army under the army has reported to us that the front is fine, and there are no suspicious troops found, so there should be no threat tonight. Li Yuanfang said.
"Well, okay, but you tell the army that you can't let your guard down, slack off, and continue to closely monitor the unknown ground and air realm ahead." Di Renjie said.
This night, the Demon Destroying Alliance also spent it safely. The fleet began to turn westward, and in another day's journey it would be possible to meet the demon army. Everyone began to look forward to it, to be excited, and even to have a little bit of fear. This is human nature, and for things that are not sure, human beings always can't erase the shadow of worry and fear in their hearts.
"Mr. Mo, you're here, are you okay sleeping tonight?" Di Renjie said with concern.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, after all, there is no demon harassment tonight. Now that we have only one day to go, we must all be fully focused on any unknown dangers in the shadows.
"Brother Monkey, do you smell it?" Zhu Bajie walked up to Sun Wukong and asked leisurely.
"What do you smell? Didn't you eat all the stolen roast chicken last night? Sun Wukong said impatiently.
"Oh, I mean the breath of the demons, the breath in the air, isn't it?" Zhu Bajie corrected him.
"My grandson has not lived in the devil's den for a long time, and he has long forgotten the breath of the demon clan, and now the most delicious peach is the most breathing for my grandson." Monkey King said.
"Brother Monkey, you're still lying on the bed, don't you get up and move your muscles? In less than a day, I'm about to start fighting with the demon army. Zhu Bajie stretched out his arms and stretched his legs.
"Cut, when did my grandson move his muscles and bones before the fight, our energy and physical strength are abundant." As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough "cough".
"Look, what am I talking about, the years are not forgiving, you are occasionally feeling cold, why don't you hurry up and strengthen your exercise." Zhu Bajie said.
"What do you know? The weather was much colder last night, and I was afraid that the master would be cold, so I covered him with my own quilt, so I suffered a little bit of wind chill, and it was okay, I just drank some hot water. Sun Wukong said.
"Oh, I see, Brother Monkey, you sit here and wait, I'll pour you hot water." Zhu Bajie said with concern, Zhu Bajie took three steps and made two steps, and walked out of the hatch, and it didn't take long for a bowl of steaming hot water to come.
