Chapter 924 Wisdom
Shen Cong...... He has been running his stronghold. The Shen family martial artist thought for a while and said.
"Business?" Shen Lianming sneered and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to sell all the strongholds to the people of the Liubo League." β
This time, the Shen family's martial artists didn't say anything, and everyone already had their own opinions on this matter in the Shen family's attack base. In the final analysis, although there are many Shen family martial artists who really have the same heart as Shen Lianming, they do not include all Shen family martial artists, and there are still a considerable number of Shen family martial artists who have a lot of complaints about some of Shen Lianming's practices.
When Shen Cong developed that stronghold, Shen Cong also went through nine deaths before he succeeded, in fact, strictly speaking, Shen Cong had already failed, but because of the intervention of the Liubo Alliance warriors, Shen Cong finally stabilized the situation of the stronghold, and it is commendable that although this stronghold was taken back with the help of the Liubo Alliance warriors, the control of the stronghold still fell into Shen Cong's hands.
At the beginning, the Shen family warriors also felt very strange, which was obviously unreasonable, but as Shen Cong's companions returned to the Shen family base, intentionally or unintentionally, revealed that Yuan Yao was from the Liubo League and was the niece of Zhou Da, the leader of the Liubo League, people were relieved about this matter. It is true that there are some people who sourly think that Shen Cong relies on women, but people who have really gone far on the road of strength understand that sometimes people's luck is indeed a very important factor that can affect success, and to sour a person because of this factor or because of that luck and get a lot of resources to deploy, this is a meaningless thing in itself, and you still have to be calm in the face of this kind of thing.
Obviously, although some of the Shen family's warriors in the Shen family's attack base will speak sour when they mention Shen Cong, Shen Cong's current success is undeniable, he only controlled a base point with just a few people around him, and for the expeditionary force, everyone's credit is directly proportional to what he has done, and it is proportional to the number of people around him. Strictly speaking, the credit for developing a stronghold is not smaller than the establishment of an offensive base, after all, when developing a stronghold, a small number of warriors go out to fight. And the people around Shen Cong now are less than ten people combined, and the credit for establishing the stronghold is divided among several of them, so it is conceivable how much reward Shen Cong can get after the end of this expedition.
It can be said that this expedition to the new astral body, at least in the first stage, Shen Cong is already the biggest winner, and if you think carefully, the credit on his personal head has even surpassed Shen Lianming. But it is precisely because of this that Shen Lianming's attitude towards Shen Cong has become subtle. Of course, this is also a more implicit statement, to put it bluntly, he has begun to target Shen Cong everywhere.
If according to the normal development, now that Shen Cong has stabilized the situation in the stronghold, then as the commander of the expeditionary force, Shen Lianming should continue to send additional troops to Shen Cong's stronghold, at least the number of warriors in the stronghold needs to be maintained at hundreds of people, it is not easy to establish a stronghold, but Shen Lianming did not do it at all, let alone send warriors, and he has not even done it once to transport resources, if it were not for the help of the warriors of the Liubo Alliance during this time, Shen Cong and the others would have died in the new astral body.
Shen Lianming's reason is very good, he said that he was worried that Shen Cong had colluded with the warriors of the Liubo Alliance, and they could no longer ensure that the stronghold belonged to the Shen family, so he refused to give Shen Cong any assistance, and the more he did not assist, the more Shen Cong needed to rely on the help of the Liubo League, and the more the Liubo League helped Shen Cong, the heavier the "suspicion" on Shen Cong's body, and as a result, he fell into an unsolvable cycle little by little.
Things have developed so far, people have completely incomprehensible about this matter, whether Shen Cong will eventually become the greatest hero and return to the Shen family, or will Shen Lianming find a way to get rid of it, it is really a confusing thing. It's just that although there are some people in the Shen family martial artists who feel angry for Shen Cong, no one will really stand up and say anything for him, after all, Shen Cong didn't have much status in the Shen family, in fact, if it weren't for Shen Lianming doing too much in this matter, too much to the extent that some Shen family martial artists who were doing things outside felt cold, no one would think much about Shen Cong's matter.
As a result, just when the Shen family warriors were accustomed to Shen Cong's travel outside the Shen family's expeditionary force system, Shen Lianming suddenly asked about Shen Cong's movements, of course this Shen family warrior who came to report the news didn't know what to say, anyway, he was unwilling to get involved in this matter.
Shen Lianming had long been accustomed to undisguised his dislike for Shen Cong, and after a little silence, he said, "I heard that the Kong family has been moving again recently?"
This time, the Shen family warrior immediately replied: "Yes, it seems that they want to start the layout again, after all, their second batch of expeditionary forces should be coming soon." β
"How many strongholds have they developed?" asked Shen Lianming.
"Three, a total of three strongholds have been built around their newly established offensive base, but the three strongholds are very close to their new offensive base, not a standard distance. The Shen family martial artist said.
Shen Lianming sneered again and said lightly: "It's time to be ruthless to the Kong family." β
"What do you mean?" Shen Lianming didn't get a reply, but he asked directly.
The Shen family martial artist was taken aback, and immediately explained: "How dare I have any opinion on this kind of thing, everything is still up to the big handsome." β
Shen Lianming likes others to call him handsome, but this time he didn't show a satisfied expression, frowned slightly and said, "I know, you all think that Kong Yuan is a ruthless character and can't be easily provoked, right?" β
The Shen family warrior knew that something would definitely happen if he was silent any longer, so he could only bite the bullet and say: " Dashuai, I have to admit that for this new astral body this time, the Kong family's previous preparations were more adequate than ours, although they have been beaten by those monsters of the Liubo Alliance, but after all, when they were attacked and attacked the base, the Kong family was very knowledgeable and did not resist, and now Kong Yuan still has a lot of elite soldiers around him, including some powerful martial arts helpers, they just can't figure out what the intentions of the Liubo Alliance are for the time being, but if they really want to start a war......"
"If we really want to go to war, will we definitely lose?" Shen Lianming said directly, and then snorted coldly: "The Kong family is just a group of useless guys, and it will be the same when they send more people over, there is nothing to be afraid of." β
"Go and pass my order, transfer 200 people in the base, go to Shen Cong's stronghold, transport the resources that should be distributed during this time, and then tell Shen Cong to prepare for the attack on the Kong family's stronghold. Shen Lianming said casually.
The Shen family martial artist didn't show any surprised expression, just nodded and immediately retreated, and after walking out of Shen Lianming's room, the Shen family martial artist couldn't help but smile bitterly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's time to come." β

The Kong family attacked the base.
This new offensive base is much smaller than the scale of the offensive base originally established by the Kong family on the new astral body, this is indeed an extremely helpless choice, most of their resources have been invested in the previous offensive base, and no one thought that they would be robbed of the offensive base in the early days of the expedition, and it was really snatched, the resources in their first offensive base were all removed, and it became the current offensive base of the Liubo League, which is definitely a great shame for the Kong family.
This was indeed the most painful defeat Kong Yuan had experienced in his life, and even today, although several months had passed since the First World War, he still couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion whenever he remembered the experience of the First World War that day. Strictly speaking, that battle could not be regarded as a fiasco for the martial artists of the Kong family, but a fiasco for himself. When the Liubo Alliance warriors suddenly rushed towards their attack base, Kong Yuan initially deployed according to conventional means, but then the battle developed completely differently than he expected.
The basic combat power part of the warriors of the Liubo Alliance did not directly participate in the attack, and there were only three people who finally rushed into the attack base of the Kong family, and one of the three people had a weaker aura - of course compared to the other two - but these three people actually forced through all the defense lines established by the martial artists of the Confucian family, and directly forced out Kong Yuan in the attack base, followed by the battle between Kong Yuan and the strong men of the Liubo Alliance.
In that battle, Kong Yuan's defeated body was incomplete.
For Kong Yuan, that battle was not so much a fiasco, but a nightmare, and in that battle, Kong Yuan met Zhou Da, the leader of the Liubo League, for the first time, and also fought with the current number one powerhouse of the Liubo League for a while, until the man who didn't even wear armor joined the battle, and everything changed completely.
Kong Yuan's defeat was almost instantaneous, in the middle of the battle, he was first controlled by a realm so powerful that it seemed to be like a cage, and then hundreds of wounds were cut open almost instantaneously all over his body. In fact, those wounds didn't cause much pain to Kong Yuan, what really scared Kong Yuan was that hundreds of wounds appeared instantly, which meant that if the other party really wanted to kill him at that time, he would be killed even if he had a hundred lives.
Everything that followed seemed to be logical, the man who didn't wear armor didn't kill the killer, but just ordered all the Kong family warriors to leave their attack base, and in that case all Kong Yuan could do was to leave with someone quickly. The threat of death, that is, the purest threat of death, Kong Yuan is actually not afraid of death, if the battle of the day is the final stage after a hard and outstanding battle, even if all the Kong family warriors are killed, Kong Yuan will definitely not run away alone, and Kong Yuan also has the dignity of a strong man. It's just that after being defeated at the moment of the fight, Kong Yuan's fighting spirit was instantly consumed.
There was no need to continue fighting, Kong Yuan knew very well that if he really had to fight hard in the attack base, the final result would be a tragic death for everyone. Therefore, Kong Yuan retreated, and retreated with the Kong family warriors who did not suffer much damage, and rebuilt the offensive base here.
Kong Yuan knew very well in his heart that there were many hot-blooded warriors among the Kong family warriors in the attacking base now, and they were quite critical of some of their practices, after all, because they couldn't feel what they could feel at their level, Zhou Yu's strength and even some strong martial arts warriors couldn't really understand that it was a kind of comprehensive crushing at the level of strength, which was different from power crushing. If the other party only has greater strength and better combat methods to win, it will not cause such a shock, in Kong Yuan's opinion, the power that Zhou Yu has is simply a realm that he has not yet touched, so there will be such a fiasco.
But he couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly, more of the clansmen saw that he lost to a guy who didn't even wear armor in a big battle, and they all admitted that that person who dared to fight without armor must have strong strength, but this should never happen, the only explanation is that Kong Yuan was timid after knowing the news of Kong Shi and Kong Bing's death, so he made the decision to take the initiative to escape.
Kong Yuan is very bitter, his heart is really bitter, his current idea is very simple, when the second batch of expeditionary forces arrives, he will try his best to dissuade the Sage Realm powerhouses who lead the team to find trouble with Zhou Yu, and cut off their thoughts in this regard as much as possible, and then no matter whether the dissuasion is successful or not, he will leave this new astral body immediately. It was that battle, the battle that was so short that it might take only a few seconds to recall, which was enough for Kong Yuan to clearly realize how dangerous it was here.
In fact, if it weren't for the mood of the Kong family warriors in the attack base, he wouldn't even have three strongholds now, it's not that they don't have the strength to establish a stronghold, even if they build a few more strongholds now, they can still hold it, the problem is that Kong Yuan is very worried that those monsters of the Liubo Alliance will rush over again, if this is the case, he really has no better way to defend the opponent's attack, and there is no need to hope that Zhou Yu will come over and kill at this level of Kong Yuan, so that these people of his clan can clearly understand Zhou Yu's horror, anyway, he only has one idea now, at least to stabilize the situation here before he evacuesγ He also thought that there would be a certain punishment after he went back, but with his status in the space, even if he was punished, it would only be a loss of prestige, and it would not make him feel so uncomfortable.
At least it's much stronger than dead.
But just when Kong Yuan was thinking about holding his position and delaying the arrival of the second expeditionary force, a red light in his room suddenly flashed, and there was a very harsh siren sound accompanied by the red light flashing. Kong Yuan stood up abruptly and said in surprise, "Are you afraid of something?"
It's just that Kong Yuan immediately rushed out of the room, and when he came to the defensive position of the attack base and looked out, what he saw was not the Liubo Alliance warriors, but a group of humanoid monsters without heads.
"Indigenous ......" Kong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Prepare to defend." β

Shen Cong looked at the Shen family warrior who suddenly came to his stronghold, the expression on his face was very exciting, there was helplessness, anger, but there was no joy. Originally, he had no hope for the Shen family's support at all, and even he himself was a little resistant to Shen Lianming doing any support for this stronghold, because he knew very well that once the support came, it would be Shen Lianming who would start to make it bad.
Sure enough, Shen Cong quickly got the order to attack the Kong family's stronghold.
Shen Cong asked expressionlessly, "Did Shen Shuai say anything else?"
"It is said that the time limit is to capture the stronghold of the Kong family within one month. Shen Muqing said, but after he finished saying this request, he couldn't help laughing: "I know, you definitely won't carry it out, right?" β
Looking at Shen Muqing's smiling appearance, Shen Cong was slightly stunned, and after a little silence, he nodded and said, "Yes, why should I do such a boring thing." β
"That's your business, anyway, my task is to take over the defense of this stronghold......" Speaking of this, Shen Muqing looked at Shen Cong with a smile, spread his hand and continued: "You definitely won't hand over the control of this place to me, right?" β
Shen Cong looked at Shen Muqing with some surprise, he and Shen Muqing had no friendship, there were many clansmen like them in the Shen family who only nodded their heads, after all, the family was too big, and it was normal for many clansmen to have no intersection in their lives. Shen Muqing's status in the Shen family is actually very similar to Shen Cong, but there is one thing that can be regarded as his advantage over Shen Cong, that is, Shen Muqing is not from the direct bloodline of the Shen family, he is a clansman who has been boiled out of the branch bloodline by his own efforts, but because of this, people like this who have been boiled out little by little sometimes do things more intelligently.
Shen Muqing looked at Shen Cong, who looked surprised, and naturally shrugged his shoulders and explained, "Although I haven't seen the senior who can kill the Sage Realm powerhouse without wearing armor, I know that these things must be real. Regarding your experience, I am indeed very red-eyed, but the problem is that red-eyed can't solve anything, it should be yours and already belongs to you, and no one can take it away, and it is clear that Shen Shuai is now going to target you everywhere, and even do not hesitate to let us people be the stepping stones, but in doing so, I don't take our life and death into account, why should I give him my life. β
This time, Shen Cong became even more surprised, and looked at Shen Muqing in a daze for a long time, and he didn't know what to say. Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as the first real communication between Shen Cong and Shen Muqing, but it is obvious that Shen Muqing surprised Shen Cong, the "wisdom" of this brother of the same generation is obviously not low, it can be said that he is very smart, and the embodiment of cleverness lies in the fact that he knows what to do when and when.
"But if you don't go against me, you won't be able to complete the task, how will you explain to Shen Shuai when the time comes?" Shen Cong asked.
"What is there to explain, I said that I came to ask you for control, and if you don't give it, it's over. My strength is not as good as yours, not to mention that you have other strong people, I can't compete with you, do you still have to sacrifice your life like this. Shen Muqing said with a very open-minded look, but then he restrained his smile and said, "But I have to remind you of one thing, I encountered some strange things on the way here. β
