Chapter 557: Initiating the End of War
Those purple-clothed divine masters shouted loudly for half a moment before returning to Daqi Mountain.
And Mu Shenji and Li Shuyang, who were on the top of Xiaoyue Mountain, looked at each other, and their faces were full of surprise.
"This must be a bluff!" Li Shuyang snorted coldly, and his eyes were also burning with anger: "I'll see if he really has the courage to set off this big battle." β
"He still has the guts. β
Mu Shenji recalled Zhang Xin's past deeds: "This person has always acted unscrupulously, and he can't be treated with common sense. β
Li Shuyang frowned: "But do you want to give up Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain?"
It is absolutely impossible for them to open the law ban and surrender to the opponent, so if they want to avoid the blows of the stars outside the sky, they can only give up Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain.
Mu Shenji didn't answer and asked: "Didn't the Divine Sect say that there is a way to stop Zhang Xin's star-picking technique? Can you ask them if they can do it this time?"
"You don't have to ask. Li Shuyang shook his head: "I have already understood before, although the Divine Sect has a way to make Zhang Xin's star picking technique fail, but it will have to pay a lot of price. Unless it is our side, we are sure to fight a decisive battle with the other party, and we are sure to defeat the Dao army under his command, it is all a pearl bullet, unnecessary and too wasteful. β
"Is that so?"
While Mu Shenji frowned, he also relaxed his heart slightly. After he heard Li Shuyang say this, he felt that the God Sect was not boasting.
It's just that the current situation is a little tricky.
Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain, the other party can only bombard one of them. But now the other party's preview includes these two spiritual mountains.
"The people of the Cult of God have bad intentions, and I don't want to expect too much from them. β
Li Shuyang condensed and said: "At present, it is best to take two precautions, divide the army into two, and all the Japanese and lunar battleships, together with most of the spirit masters, retreat to the rear two hundred and fifty miles away. Only some elite and siege ships remained. β
Once Zhang Xin completes the Star Picking Technique, it will cause a fire and rain disaster. Only a mountain attack ship can withstand the impact of fire, rain and natural disasters at close range.
"Two hundred and fifty miles is not enough. β
Mu Shenji shook his head: "It takes at least five hundred and fifty miles to ensure safety!" Or, try to spread out the troops-"
After Li Shuyang was stunned, he understood what Mu Shenji meant. Zhang Xin's star-picking technique, before the stars landed, no one knew what the goal was.
The range of the opponent's attack is within a radius of 800 miles. If this person chooses not the two spiritual mountains, but their Dao army, it will definitely be a catastrophe.
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Li Shuyang suddenly frowned: "But in this case, how should we defend these two spiritual mountains?"
With only these few mountain attack ships in their hands, less than two thousand spirit masters, it is impossible to resist the opponent's attack.
If there is a magic circle to rely on, it will be better, maybe it will be able to survive a few hours. But the problem is that the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard is not ready to stand on its own now, and it does not dare to change the defensive array here.
"I'll have no choice but to retreat! These two Spirit Mountains are too close to Daqi Mountainβ"
Mu Shenji sighed: "Who would have thought that the farsighted and wise move of the year would be used by that shaft." I will explain this matter to Master Shenyue, it is impossible to lose our army in order to defend these two spiritual mountains. β
In the past, the two masters of the Eastern Fourth Courtyard sat here, and the original intention was to suppress the Daqi Mountain leyline. So that this defensive hub of the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain will not become an obstacle to their self-reliance.
But who would have thought that a thousand years later, someone in the Sun and Moon Xuanzong would reproduce the art of picking stars passed down by the Sun and Moon Patriarch. This extremely close distance has become a flaw.
"But let's just try to see if this son has the heart to fight, and see if he has the courage to enter these two spiritual mountains. β
Due to the extremely close distance between the two sides, the movement of Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain can be seen at a glance on the top of Daqi Mountain.
"It looks like they're planning to evacuate. Yuan Jie smiled: "It's still very wise." β
"I don't know how far they plan to retreat. Twilight Zhiqiu narrowed her eyes: "Five hundred and fifty miles away?"
Zhang Xin noticed that there were many spiritual masters flying out of the two spiritual mountains on the opposite side and running straight towards Daqi Mountain.
It may be that the disciples who are worried about attacking these Sun and Moon Xuanzong may give Zhang Xin a false mouth and a rebellious identity. The Dao army of the two spiritual mountains seemed to be invisible to the departure of these people.
"Seven hundred? That seems like too many?"
Zhang Nong frowned slightly, Xiaoyue Mountain and Tianguan Mountain were the key points on the front line, and they were also the places where the East Fourth Courtyard gathered heavy troops.
He didn't believe that the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard would leave so many 'hidden dangers' and dissidents in such an important place.
"Do you want to identify them?"
"There's no need for that, just send a few trusted people to contain them, and then have them take a spiritual oath in person. β
Zhang Xin said indifferently: "These people can be organized into an army separately and placed on the right side of the whole army. β
Because he had expected this situation in advance, this time, in addition to the ships needed by the Dao army itself, he also carried twenty-seven additional warships, which could accommodate 3,000 people.
"The effectiveness of the spiritual oath is only limited, and the other party is not without a way to circumvent it. β
Zhang Nong disagreed: "Once someone has bad intentions and rebels when the army is fighting, I'm just afraidββ"
When Zhang Xin heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "But even if they don't rebel, our Dao army is not the opponent of the East Fourth Courtyard." β
This sentence made Zhang Nong speechless for a while.
But as the star-picking envoy said, there were 17,000 Dao troops on the opposite side, all of whom were well-trained elite divisions. Not only are there many people, but the combat power is also very good.
If they brought the 3,000 Dao troops under their command over this time, they might still have the strength to fight, but the problem was that these 3,000 elites were now thrown by Zhang Xin in Tianmang Mountain.
Now if you go head-to-head with your opponent, you will definitely lose.
"So there's no threat to take them in now. I'm not going to fight them yetβ"
After Zhang Xin finished saying this, he pointed forward domineeringly: "Inform the whole army that the whole army will march in an hour!"
But in the end, the time for all the Dao troops under Zhang Xin's command to advance was earlier than he imagined. It only took half an hour to evacuate three hundred miles away.
After reaching this distance, the Dao troops of the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard began to disperse, as if they wanted to use this method to guard against his star-picking attack.
But Zhang Xin didn't care, the limit speed of the ships on both sides was about the same. In the absence of the protection of the magic circle, it is impossible for the remaining spirit masters of the two spiritual mountains opposite to support more than half a quarter of time under their attack.
He is not very greedy, these two spiritual mountains, now they only need to take one.
"You have to be careful of the other party's counterattack!"
Zhang Nong has always been steady, and reminded again in a condensed voice: "Xiaoyue Mountain does not defend us, and it is the same for the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard. β
"Fight back? If they really fight back, then this seat really has a headache, but do they dare?"
The corners of Zhang Xin's lips were slightly raised: "When their internal troubles have not been solved?"
Zhang Nong was stunned again, and then understood what Zhang Xin meant. The Tiandong Fourth Courtyard fought back at this time, so there was no room for return. The lord and faction on the other side of the mountain can only give up their efforts.
This kind of result may be exactly what Zhang Xin hoped for-
"It would be too arbitrary to say that they would never dare. β
Zhang Xin continued to sneer: "But if they really dare to fight this seat in this Xiaoyue Mountain, then this seat will also be happy to see it." β
In fact, as Zhang Xin expected, the enemy army on the opposite side took the initiative to evacuate all the mountain attack ships and more than 1,000 spirit masters in Xiaoyue Mountain.
When Zhang Xin's Dao army settled in, there was only an empty spiritual mountain left.
In the following hour, they painted the gourd in the same way, and took the nearby Tianguan Mountain together.
But at this time, a new problem was placed in front of their eyes. These two spiritual mountains require a certain number of spirit masters to be stationed in order to have a certain defensive ability.
But in this way, it will definitely make their already thin troops even more stretched.
Zhang Nong and Yuan Jie were very worried about this, but Zhang Xin didn't care. After the army had been repaired for an hour, the leaders of the tribes were summoned and a new military order was announced.
"Destroy two spiritual mountains?"
When Zhang Xin's military order was issued, everyone present suddenly exclaimed.
Zhang Nong instinctively wanted to dissuade him, but after he thought about it, he felt that this might be a good idea. No matter what Zhang Xin's next actions are, he can lift the leyline restrictions of Daqi Mountain and weaken the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard. Other than that, there will be no more divisions of troops.
"But these two Realm Spirit Mountains, it's a pity-"
Li Qing was dripping in cold sweat: "Lord Governor, in my opinion, it is better to ask for instructions on this mountain first, and then deal with it!"
"There is no need for this, this seat has the right to make a judgment on the spot!"
Zhang Xin snorted dissatisfiedly: "And this area of three hundred miles is piled up with three spiritual mountains, which is redundant." β
This is not the place of the Sun Moon Divine Mountain, the earth's veins are sufficient, and it is not too much to pile up thirty or fifty Divine Domain Spirit Mountains.
And at this juncture, when everyone in this military council is either frightened, or agreed, or fell into deep thought. The storm blowing around Zhang Xin is sweeping across the Northland.
Master Shenyue of the Upper Courtyard of Dongshen Mountain was the first to get the news. This person sat in the quiet room, looked at the letter in front of him, and was silent for half a moment, and then suddenly made a move, smashing the coffee table in front of him to pieces.
"It's rare for you to be so impetuous!"
At this time, an illusory figure appeared in front of Shenyue. The man glanced at the mess in front of Shen Yue: "This is of no use. β
"I know! Venting anger with these worthless things is also a way to calm people's minds. β
Shenyue has regained her calm: "Pass on the order of this seat, let Mu Shenji endure for seven days and then counterattack!" And-"
His voice paused: "Contact the sun and moon Benshan, do everything you can to ask Zhang Xin for the crime of starting a war without permission." If you can't, then drag him as long as you can!"
