Chapter VI
"Oh, I said, I have more important things to do here, and I can't go back." Zhang Lie said leisurely at Jian Xian's angry face in the water basin.
Jian Xian was so angry that he almost didn't take his back breath: "God, Annihilation has already defeated the coalition forces of various factions, and it only takes one breath to completely eat them, and now the whole world is shaken, what could be more important than this?" β
Zhang Lie couldn't help but shrug his shoulders: "Then what do you want me to come back for?" β
Jian Xian glared at him angrily: "What else can I do, discuss how to deal with Annihilation." Even the Corpse King can't sit still, if it weren't for the grasshopper on the same rope with you, I think even he would want to make peace with Zhanmeng. Forget me, old man, please come back quickly. β
Ignoring Jian Xian's pleas, Zhang Lie said with an indifferent look: "Don't worry, as far as I know, Annihilation is also a miserable victory, and there is still a buffer time before he recovers." Besides, those magic sects are so easy to swallow, although they no longer have the strength to fight again, they will also contain him somewhat. β
Jian Xian almost shouted: "Even if there is still time, what is it?" If you don't prepare in advance, once you get out of your hands, your kid's plan will be completely ruined. β
Zhang Lie couldn't help but ask, "Then what can you do to deal with him?" β
Jian Xian was speechless: "This... Not yet. But the solution is to come up with, I can tell you, you are the person recognized by the King of the Corpse, if you hide like this and don't come back, I can't explain to him, then the King of the Corpse is annoyed, if anything happens, don't blame me for not reminding you. β
Zhang Lie nodded calmly: "I understand this." A month, give me a month, and then there will be a clearing. Don't worry, I, Zhang Lie, am a person who only knows how to escape. β
After watching him for a while, Jian Xian sighed: "Okay, I'll help you buy you another month, I hope your kid is not talking nonsense this time." β
Then he muttered and complained: "I said that it was a game of fire to let go of Meng, look, this time things are getting bigger, if you don't deal with it well, I will have to be unlucky with the old man..."
"Okay, don't be too wordy, I'll fix it." Zhang Lie cried and laughed: "By the way, I still need two thousand ghost soldiers here, you can find a way to send them to me as soon as possible." β
"What do you want to do?" Jian Xian's honestly and unceremonious eyelids rolled.
Zhang Lie had no choice but to tell him his plan. The more Jian Xian listened, the more surprised he became, and finally he sighed: "You kid... There's really nothing you wouldn't dare to do. But if it really happens, it can indeed fight against the extinction. Well, give me five days, and I'll get them to you safely. β
Zhang Lie was overjoyed, and slapped Jian Xian's ass again, and then dispersed the spell and ended the call.
Rubbing his eyes a little tiredly, Zhang Lie walked to the window. It would be a lie to say that the great victory of Annihilation in China did not touch him, and when he first received the news, Zhang Lie really had a feeling that the sky was falling. Although I thought that Annihilation would make some movement, I didn't expect it to be so big and so fast.
After all, this old opponent from 400 years ago is extraordinary, and he is a character who can turn the clouds and rain at any time.
However, Zhang Lie is Zhang Lie after all, and soon he will clean up his mood and actively devote himself to his plan again. Since what should have happened has already happened, it is useless to sigh, there will be a battle sooner or later anyway, so let's see who can have the last laugh!
Anne and Blatter waited outside against the wall, one left and one right. Seeing Zhang Lie come out, Anne said, "How? β
Zhang Lieha smiled: "Five days later, start acting." β
**********************************************************************
South American rainforest, late at night.
Thousands of dark figures emerged silently from a dense forest, gathered at the top of a cliff, silently watching the Amazon River below. The remains of tall stone buildings can be seen in the jungle by the river.
"Is that there?" At the front of the line, Zhang Lie asked a dragon envoy.
The man nodded, "That's right, after you destroyed Dublin's last hideout, the Elders moved to Quetzalcoatl's territory. I've been in contact with them many times and can be sure that the Elders are inside. β
Annie, who was standing beside Zhang Lie, snorted disdainfully: "Wherever you hide, it's also a group of lost dogs." β
Zhang Lie turned his head to look at Blatter, who nodded that he was ready. Taking a breath, Zhang Lie looked around and said, "Then let's start acting according to the plan." β
No one answered, and everyone dispersed at the same time. Under Blatter's leadership, a large number of vampires retreated with him into the dense forest on the left, where they were headed. After Blatter and the others left, Zhang Lie and the thousands of ghost soldiers sent by Jian Xian a few days ago quietly touched the settlement of the Feathered Serpent clan below, and soon only Annie, the Harpy led by John, and some vampires were left on the cliff.
Walking to the edge of the cliff and glancing at the Quetzalcoatl clan below, Anne's eyes showed deep hatred: "You bastards, don't even think about running away tonight!" β
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and everyone retreated into the dense forest and disappeared.
Zhang Lie has been planning for a long time, and the biggest bet on his personal success or failure has finally begun...
**********************************************************************
In the Feathered Serpent Clan, the elders were still asleep.
The news of Konstantin's forced suicide has long since spread, and now the Holy See is in chaos, which is undoubtedly very good news for the precarious Inhuman Alliance.
It is unknown why the Dragons decided to take action against the Holy See, but the Elders have faith in this powerful ally, and they are all happy with the wise decision to ally with them in the first place.
"Now that the threat of the Holy See has been lifted temporarily, it's time to deal with Zhang Lie's traitors." At this time, in the humble elders' meeting room, the elder of the elven clan said.
This is the interior of an abandoned pyramid, with a few torches illuminating the stone chamber slightly, and the Inca-style patterns and carvings on the walls are particularly eerie in the shadows. It can be said that the Elders have not used such a rudimentary conference room since its inception, but now the elders are convinced that such a day will not be too long.
"But I heard that he has gained a lot of power in China, and if he joins forces with the blood clan, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with." The elders of the Quetzalcoatl voiced their concerns.
The Snow Maiden Clan Elder snorted coldly: "With the help of the Dragon Clan, we will definitely succeed." β
The Elder of the Giant Clan hesitated, "However, the Dragon Clan's attitude towards us seems to be a little perfunctory recently..."
The elder of the elf clan said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, if we ask for it personally, the dragon clan will definitely help, and it's a big deal to give them some benefits afterwards." The most important thing now is to quickly recapture the remaining parts in the hands of the blood clan, then defeat the human race, and the recovery alliance is just around the corner. β
As soon as these words came out, all the elders nodded one after another, looking at their expressions, it seemed that this bright future was within reach. At this time, the elder of the Snow Maiden clan said again: "According to the report of the spies in Asia, a monster named Annihilation in China has risen very quickly recently, and it seems to have hit the human race hard recently, should we win him over?" β
The Elder of the Giant Clan was still immersed in the impending victory, and said disdainfully: "It's just a monster fishing in troubled waters, there's no need to pay too much attention to him." When we get rid of those traitors, we'll just merge him. I believe that he would be very happy if he knew that he could join the great alliance. β
"Uh-huh." The elders all nodded in agreement, it had been too long, and they had finally regained the confidence and pride they had at the height of the alliance.
Just as the elders were basking in the optimistic atmosphere of the situation, the door of the conference room was suddenly slammed open at an inopportune time, and a Quetzalcoatl warrior stumbled in.
"What's the matter, didn't you see us in a meeting?" The elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan felt that he had lost face, and he couldn't help but reprimand angrily.
The Quetzalcoatl warrior hurriedly said, "Elder, it's not good, we have been attacked suddenly. β
"What!?" Everyone was shocked. Only then did they notice the faint sound of fighting and the flash of spells coming from outside the door.
After all, it was on his own territory, and the elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan said calmly, "Who is it?" How many? β
The Quetzalcoatl warrior shook his head: "I don't know, there are some ghosts we haven't seen before, at least more than two thousand." We can't stop it, so the elders should retreat. β
"Ghosts..."The Elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan repeated blankly, "So it's not the Holy See's revenge army, who will attack us?" β
The rest of the elders were also very strange, they were hiding in the Feathered Serpent Clan, and they didn't leak any news at all, and now it was strange that someone had called on the door, let alone some ghosts of unknown origin.
Seeing that these elders were still hesitating, the warrior was anxious: "Elder, the other party came towards this pyramid from the beginning, and it was obviously aimed at you, and it would be too late if you didn't leave." β
After several escapes, there were only a few non-human warriors left who were willing to follow the Elder Regiment to escort them, and the Quetzalcoatl Clan had suffered heavy losses in the encirclement and suppression in the front, so there were not many troops at all. What's worse is that in order to avoid the suspicion of the Quetzalcoatl, the remnants of the corpse battle troops led by Hilda and Vera were stationed dozens of miles away, and they could not arrive in time for a while.
After hesitating for a while, the elven clan elder finally made up his mind: "Let's go, something happened here, Sida and Vera must be coming, let's meet with the corpse battle force first." β
The elders fled several times, but they were really afraid, and they all agreed when they heard this. However, just as they were about to leave, the door was slammed open again, and a group of people swaggered in.
"I haven't seen you for months, are the elders all right?" In the laughter of Lang, the person who came was the first to enter, it was Zhang Lie.
"Zhang Lie, it's you again!?" Unexpectedly, before he could go for trouble, this guy actually called the door again, and the elders were stunned for a while.
The outside has been basically controlled by the ghost soldiers brought by Zhang Lie, and only a few places are still resisting. Surrounded by dozens of ghost soldiers, Zhang Lie walked to the end of the long wooden table used by the elders for the meeting, pulled up a chair and sat down, and looked at the frightened elders with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's you again, you're so presumptuous!" The Giant Clan Elder shouted angrily.
How could he put this kind of inward-looking questioning in his eyes, Zhang Lie yawned indifferently, and then said: "I came this time because I want to talk to the elders about something. β
The Elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan immediately refused, "We have nothing to talk about with traitors!" β
The elven clan elder smiled gloomily: "Zhang Lie, I have to admit that what you do is always unexpected. But you better know that the dragons have allied themselves with us, and if you dare to act rashly, they will not let you go. β
"Do you mean dragons? So who do you see this is? Zhang Lie pointed behind him.
Only then did the elders notice the dragon envoy standing behind him, and the Snow Maiden elder exclaimed, "Mr. Tuklavey, why are you here?" β
The dragon envoy Tuclave bowed politely, and then said, "I'm sorry, after careful consideration, the patriarch decided to give up the alliance and cooperate with Mr. Zhang Lie instead. β
"Why?" The Elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan said in disbelief, "They are traitors. Would the arrogant dragons choose to cooperate with these villains? β
Instead of answering, TukravΓ© said, "As long as you agree to his request, I can swear in the name of the dragons to let you leave safely." β
Dejected, he sat down in his chair, and now the elders knew that nothing could be done. I really don't know what kind of magic this Zhang Lie has cast, even the dragon clan, who has always attached importance to morality, has won it over.
"What now?" The Snow Maiden Patriarch asked anxiously.
Glancing at Zhang Lie, who was sitting leisurely, and the ghost soldiers staring at him behind him, the elven clan elder whispered: "Don't worry, Xida and Vera are not far from here, as long as they delay a little, the corpse battle troops will be able to arrive, and we will not be without a fight at that time." As for the betrayal of the dragon clan, it had to be left to be resolved later. β
The Elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan nodded: "This is the only way now. β
As he spoke, he turned back to Zhang Lie and said, "We need to discuss, please give us some time." β
Zhang Lie didn't know what they were planning, and he also knew that if they didn't crush the last bit of hope for these old families, they would not be obedient. So he nodded: "Yes." β
The elders were overjoyed, and immediately gathered aside as if they were deliberating, waiting for reinforcements. In this way, both sides had their own ghosts, and the entire stone room fell silent.
