Chapter 39 The Ambition of the Rock Kingdom II
"What?dark attribute?" Tang Yingjie couldn't help but exclaim, "Didn't you say that it was mainly based on thunder attribute and fire attribute?
Long Yao glared at the fussy kid with a little dissatisfaction.
"The intelligence shows that this spirit master unit should be the 'dark spirit' unit secretly trained by the Jianyan Kingdom. This unit did not take a direct part in the sneak attack on our rear lines and the killing of civilians, but after those forces. They quickly circled around the area where several other forces were killing, and then withdrew back to the territory of the Rock Country. β
Hou Renze's gaze fell on Bai Suxin's face. He heard a change in her tone, and saw her hands tremble slightly. Generally speaking, for a normal person, there are only two reasons for body tremors due to emotions, nervousness or anger. For her, it is clear that it can only be the latter.
"That's right," Long Yao said solemnly, "This information is enough to confirm that the speculation made by Marshal Wu Hai and the Military Commission is correct. This 'dark spirit' unit of the Jianyan Kingdom cultivates evil arts with the resentful spirits created after killing lives. β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent. The expressions on the faces of the five spirits froze.
In the compartment above, except for Long Lin, the other three disciples all opened their mouths in horror. Leng Han and Lei Xi were better, but they just clenched the armrests on their respective chairs. And Ye Hengyuan almost rushed up from the chair.
"Evil ...... Sorcery ......"
Ye Hengyuan forced himself to take a deep breath and force himself to concentrate. His emerald eyes were filled with countless emotions. There was panic, there was fear, there was anger, and there were two crystalline tears.
"This kind of evil art," Long Yao continued, "is similar to the principle of the kind of evil art that the Scorpion Sect used to cultivate. Its main cultivation principle is to use cruel means to kill living beings, destroy their bodies, and then use evil magic to turn the dissipating living souls into resentful spirits rich in dark power, and devour them into the human body for them to practice evil skills. β
Hou Renze's eyes seemed to flash two lightning bolts. He clenched his fists, and the joints of his hands rattled with a rattling sound.
"The lieutenant marshal is right. β
Qiu Bai also took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the disgust in his heart. Except for Bai Suxin, no one noticed that the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly.
"But I'm sure this kind of magic is by no means the same as the one used by the Scorpion Sect back then. I think it's the 'kind of trick' that only the people of the Supreme Command of the Jianyan side can master. β
Including Long Yao, the other five spirit generals focused their eyes on Qiu Bai's body at the same time.
"Humβ"
A slight thud suddenly came from the glass railing. The handle above the guardrail suddenly opened a crack, and each piece of glass suddenly grew under the impetus of spiritual power, covering the entire compartment.
"It's ......"
Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively stretched his hand forward. He found that the entire cubicle had become a relatively confined space, isolated from the conference room below. Neither the sound nor the air could be heard in this compartment.
"It's soundproofing," Long Lin said, "and there are some things that we can't know yet." β
Ye Hengyuan exhaled, leaned back into the chair, raised his hand, and wiped the sweat from his neck. He twisted his head and glanced at Leng Han.
Leng Han also just turned his head to him. The two looked at each other.
"Xiaoyuan," Lei Xi said, "you were rescued from Qingyan Town by General Qiu, right?"
Ye Hengyuan turned his head to Lei Xi suddenly, raised his hand, wiped his face hard, and nodded. Long Lin also turned his head and glanced at Ye Hengyuan, but he didn't say anything.
Long Yao raised his head and glanced at the compartment above. He didn't say anything, just waved his hand.
"General Qiu. Please continue. β
"On the night of the enemy's surprise attack," Qiu Bai said, "I personally led the First Spirit Division under the First Army Corps in the Northwest to Qingyan Town, one of the places where the attack was attacked. It's a pity that I went a step too late and couldn't leave those hateful rats behind. β
Tang Yingjie twisted his neck and pinched his finger bones hard with both hands.
"We were at the scene and found a large amount of remnants of the element mineral. The entire town of Qingyan and several surrounding villages were almost completely razed to the ground. All the people and livestock left in the town and village were killed, and most of them were mutilated or even completely charred. This shows that the troops that attacked Qingyan Town should be a force composed of all thunder attribute spirit masters. Also, they should be able to use massively multiplayer combos that have been working together for years. This combo isn't too powerful, but it's enough to kill civilians and ordinary soldiers throughout the town. The remnants of the thunder elemental energy can also hide the traces of the evil spells that absorb the spirits. β
Qiu Bai paused, his right hand clenched into a fist.
"I found Xiaoyuan in the grove northwest of Qingyan Town. At that time, he was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. I rescued him and performed a sΓ©ance ceremony for him, making him my personal disciple. β
"Did Ye Hengyuan remember the specific circumstances of the enemy's attack, did he feel evil magic such as resentful spirits?" asked Long Yao.
"No," Qiu Bai shook his head, "he hadn't completed the awakening of the martial spirit at that time, and he hadn't received formal training, he was just an ordinary civilian. To be able to escape from a lightning attack of that level is a miracle for all I can say. β
Except for Hou Renze, who had already heard the specific experience, everyone looked at Qiu Bai in surprise. Tang Yingjie turned his head directly and glanced at the compartment above.
Every high-level spirit master knew that only a few particularly powerful martial spirits could wait until they were eighteen years old to awaken.
"General Hou," Qiu Bai turned to Hou Renze, "You told me that when Xiao Yuan was conducting the intermediate cadet assessment, there was a brief period of emotional loss of control and violent spiritual power. I think it's just because he's mentally stimulated to a certain extent. This stimulus is implicit, and as long as it is guided, its negative effects can be completely avoided. I have examined the spiritual veins of Xiaoyuan* and all over his body, and there is no disorder in them, nor any remnants of evil magic or dark elements. From this point of view, we can be sure that that kind of evil art is by no means the kind that the Scorpion Sect used to use back then. β
"Why are you so sure?" Kang Long said suddenly, "Mental stimulation has the potential to make a person completely lose their minds. On the battlefield, a sudden loss of mind means mortal danger. He's sure to encounter similar lightning attacks in the future, or even stronger. β
"General Kang," Hou Renze also spoke, "General Qiu and I will teach him." If you don't worry about him, don't you worry about us?"
"Stop. β
Long Yao raised his right arm, spread the five fingers of his right hand, and stretched out to the center of the conference table. The three of them turned their gaze back to Long Yao at the same time.
"Three generals, you are off topic. Now we are going to talk about the evil forces of the Rock Country. As for the disciples, we'll talk about it later. β
Qiu Bai glanced at Long Yao and sat back in his chair.
"General Bai," Long Yao looked at Bai Suxin, "Didn't the intelligence officers detect the specific situation of the 'Dark Spirit' troops?"
"No," Bai Suxin said, "the 'Dark Spirit' force is the most secret force of the Jianyan Country, and it directly belongs to the Supreme Command of the Jianyan Country. According to the Ministry of State Security's estimates, there should only be a 'dark spirit' force in the country at present, and its training is definitely not perfect. Its size may be equivalent to one main battalion in an ordinary spirit division regiment of our army at most, but its real combat effectiveness is likely to be comparable to one or two spirit division regiments. If they really dared to openly use 'that' sorcery, their strength and size could skyrocket in a very short period of time. β
"Well," Long Yao nodded solemnly, "that means they're going to show their true ambitions." β
The five spirits sat up straight at the same time and set their eyes on Long Yao.
"They want to violate the rules of the entire Cangling Continent's Spirit Master Realm!" Long Yao's tone was categorical.
"Hum-" The glass railing made a faint noise again, and then slowly descended. All four disciples in the upper compartment heard this.
"Cultivate evil arts, scourge the common people, cultivate strong people in large quantities by killing and devouring human lives, and then gradually encroach on our country,"
Long Yao paused, raised his slap, and slapped it on the table. He didn't use much strength, otherwise, it would have been a small mountain, and it would have turned into powder a long time ago.
"Until, invade the entire continent!"
The audience was silent.
Long Yao stood up from the silver-edged Taishi chair and faced the gold-edged Taishi chair opposite.
"The ruling government and the Military Commission have taken this matter very seriously. According to my estimates, in the near future, we must carry out a counteroffensive!"
"What?"
Tang Yingjie suddenly stood up from his chair, his face covered with disbelief. In the compartment, Ye Hengyuan, Leng Han and Lei Xi also stood up from their seats at the same time.
Long Yao waved his hand to Tang Yingjie and motioned for him to sit down first.
"Don't worry, Don Jr. This is just a preliminary plan. What to do, the Military Commission gave a plan within a month. A counteroffensive is a long-term plan, and there is no urgency. β
Tang Yingjie stroked his hair.
"For thousands of years, among the four countries of the east, west, north and south, the country of Jianyan has always been our most dangerous enemy. In terms of the number and quality of high-level spirit masters, they are the highest among the other four countries, and they are also the closest to our country. Once they are allowed to openly develop their evil arts, the Cangling Kingdom may face the greatest catastrophe in history. No one wants to see that day come. β
