Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Mysterious Man
"What's going on?" asked Kuming with a frown.
"When I woke up this morning, I felt that this battle was fought inexplicably, and there was always something wrong in my heart, so I sent the intelligence officers out and asked around, and sure enough, we fought a confused war. Sima Wei said angrily.
"Hemp, let's be more detailed. Kong Ming scolded, and Kong Bing and several other Alexander, Zhang Yiming, Lu Zhongyi, and Hai Xing who came over to listen to Sima Wei explain the situation.
It turned out that in this battle, the expeditionary force was really wronged. The fight between Rong Shi and Rong Shui brothers and the demon whale has been going on for a long time, even going back to thirty years ago, and since then, the two sides have been fighting non-stop. The reason is not clear, at first it was a one-on-one fight, but later because the two brothers Rong Shi and Rong Shui dealt with the demon whale alone, the demon whale was injured by the two, and in a fit of anger, the war directly began. It is said that it is quite strange that after the war began, the Demon Whale did not attack the lair of the two brothers, nor the city with the best economy, but kept attacking Chongcheng. And the time is very strange, twice a year, sometimes even three times, but each time the time is almost fixed, that is, the two largest days of the moon every year. And yesterday happened to be the time when the moon was at its largest, originally, Rong Shui gathered more than one million soldiers to prepare, just to deal with the demon whales, who would have thought that the expeditionary force was at this time, and attacked early, so that many of Rong Shui's preparations were in vain, and finally Lu Zhongyi's artillery fire was wiped out. And just after the expeditionary force conquered Chongcheng. The demon whale arrived, so it was another bloody battle, and finally the demon whale was killed. Therefore, the expeditionary force is the most wronged one. No wonder Sima Wei sighed one after another. This is an intelligence error. He bears considerable responsibility.
"That's not right!" Zhang Yiming said.
"What's wrong?" Sima Wei asked subconsciously.
"First of all, what Rong Shui prepared is not right, you think about it, Rong Shui's tactics are almost all against our expeditionary force, whether it is a shipwreck, or a fire attack, even the last stubborn waiting for help. It's all about our battles, and it doesn't mean anything about Warcraft, if they're preparing for Warcraft. Then we wouldn't have fought so hard yesterday, after all, the two are not the same, and the methods of fighting are not the same. Secondly, on the Warcraft side. This time, they simply flooded with a tidal wave. And for this attack, they all pushed back a little, I remember Captain Ling Zhan said that they should be twenty to thirty minutes away, but they pushed back for about ten minutes. How can this be explained?" Zhang Yiming put forward his own opinion.
But if we think differently, maybe all the qiē will be clear. Lu Zhongyi said on the side, as the commander of the Marine Army, wisdom is indispensable.
"What kind of thinking?" Sima Wei is also a person who cares about chaos, and he is usually very smart, so he was confused by the previous information.
"That is, they are going to join forces, and they are afraid that after our expeditionary force occupies Rocky Island. Something they like will fall into our hands, so we get it to defeat the expeditionary force. So they joined forces to fight us, and we can venture to guess that they were fighting for the same thing. Lu Zhongyi said cautiously, for fear that if he made a mistake, he would mislead others.
"In this way, it may make sense, neither of them wants things to fall into our hands, and it is even more coincidental that when we raid this side, it is also when that kind of thing is revealed, they think we got the news, so the two sides hit it off, Rong Shui is responsible for blocking us in the harbor, and the demon whale is killing us in the open sea, but, because the demon whale thinks that they should come a little later, so that when we and Rong Shui lose both, it can come and clean up the mess and annihilate us at sea in one fell swoop。 But they didn't expect us to kill Rong Shui so quickly, and when they attacked, we happened to do it one-on-one. Zhang Yiming made his debut, and after he finished speaking, even he didn't believe it. You must know that in general, people think that the intelligence of Warcraft is lower than that of humans, so it is inevitable that humans will defeat Warcraft in terms of intelligence, but who would have thought that in this battle, Demon Whale is not only calculating Rongshui, but also calculating the expeditionary force. It is true that people cannot be seen, and the sea water cannot be measured!
"Then what is it that made the two high-level sages fight for thirty years, and even Rongshi Rongshui didn't let the residents living in Chongcheng leave their homes in order to prevent those people from leaving?" Sima Wei said, hearing this, knowing that it was not the main responsibility of intelligence, his heart was alive a lot.
"These are not things that people like us can check, Sima immediately asked Tang Xiang to build the teleportation array, and at the same time immediately contacted the palace, and asked them to send special people to do this kind of work, and add a few words to the end, that is, this kind of thing even high-level sages are tempted, fighting for life and death. "For this kind of fan-like thing, Kong Ming is not grateful for interest, and it is better for professionals to do it. And more importantly, what the three high-level saints couldn't find, Kong Ming wouldn't think that he would be able to find it by breaking the sky. Moreover, the expeditionary force still has a lot of work to do, which can be described as a race against time, and it is quite worthless to waste on this kind of thing similar to luck, not to mention that the three brothers have been looking for thirty years and have not found it, Kong Ming does not believe that they have not joined forces.
In the palace, the expeditionary force seized the foothold of the rocky island, and killed the only high-level sage on the rocky island, Rong Shui, and then the battle report of the warcraft tide in the sea that killed a high-level warcraft once again has been transmitted here, and along with the battle report, there is also a text from Kong Ming requesting to send an expert to investigate Chongcheng. Seeing these two things made the emperor's heart burst with joy. This was not only to the extent that Kong Ming had added land to the Empire, but more importantly, Kong Ming asked the Empire to send experts to explore something that was coveted by the two high-ranking sages, but Kong Ming's attitude of not caring made the Emperor very happy in his heart. Sigh deeply that Kongming knows how to be a man, what should be taken and what should not be taken. I know it clearly, but it's a pity that he really doesn't understand what Kong Ming thinks in his heart, otherwise it will definitely be greatly discounted, the reason why Kong Ming is too lazy to move that thing is because that thing is too troublesome, and he thinks that this kind of thing will always be accompanied by danger, and he doesn't want to fall in this place. You must know that as long as they keep moving forward, then sooner or later he will surpass a qiē, and now all he has to do is wait.
The palace reacted immediately. After asking for instructions from the Land of the Gods, the Emperor hurriedly dispatched a team of more than 30 experts led by the vice president of the Comprehensive University, and arrived at Chongcheng, which was under reconstruction, in the moment when the teleportation array was unblocked. At this time, Chongcheng was still cleaning the battlefield, and the bones of the huge demonic beast on the battlefield were still left on it. As for the rest. The valuable things were all put away, and as for the remaining meat, some of them had already been distributed to the hands of various military camps and civilians to serve as food, it can be said that these meats are also a very tonic thing, they can increase the physique of the soldiers, and some of them were sold by Tang Xiang for military expenses.
Looking at those battered battleships, these experts were a little speechless, they went all the way. Most of the nearly 1,000 warships were actually parked on land, and some were even parked on the mountains. The soldiers of the Marine Corps were putting them in the air with wood to prevent the bottom of the ship from hitting the ground, and then repairing them, and fortunately every ship had experts in this area, and they were still relatively good at repairs, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time.
"Commander, the vice-chancellor of the comprehensive university with more than thirty experts is waiting outside. A staff officer reported to Kong Ming. At this time, Kong Ming was sitting in the command cabin, and the entire command ship was parked on land at this time, in a group of sand and stones, the entire command ship was erected by a lot of wood, and those technicians were repairing the command ship.
"Let them in. Kong Ming said with his head down. Kong Ming's words made these experts a little unhappy, no matter what, they were all people from the imperial capital, at least Kong Ming had to go out to greet him, this was the most basic etiquette, not to mention that the vice president of the comprehensive university was also an official of the same level as Kong Ming. But when they walked in, they found out why they couldn't come to greet them. At this time, Kong Ming was wearing a military uniform, but he was sitting on a table, discussing something with several leaders of the expeditionary force.
"You guys came, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, you are my division commander, it stands to reason that I should treat you well, but now you have also seen, the work here makes me really unable to leave, so let's go, Kong Bing, you take them to live on the fifth battleship, you can give you whatever you need, just tell him, he is responsible for everything during your entire trip. Kong Ming said, so everyone said two more polite words before saying goodbye directly. From this day on, the experts began their expedition, while Kong Ming continued his work, preparing everything for the entire expeditionary force and taking the whole rocky island.
Unfortunately, not everything will be so simple, and not everything will go in the direction that people want. After more than ten days of hard work, the expeditionary force controlled the entire island, on the one hand, because in order to deal with the expeditionary force, Rong Shui transferred all the troops on the entire island, and on the other hand, because most of the officers and soldiers sent out to surrender were the officers and soldiers of the original station, and they were very familiar with the city lord there, so there were not many people who resisted, and those who did were arrested and imprisoned. And within these ten days, Kong Ming also replenished the entire expeditionary force, he collected the 400,000 defense troops who surrendered, and let nearly 300,000 soldiers who were less than level five all organized into a defense army, which was used to realize the defense of the rocky island, and the defense army transported from the coast behind them was combined and formed, and the remaining more than 100,000 personnel above the fifth level were all scattered into the expeditionary force, because these people were born sailors, and they had extremely rich combat experience with the tide of Warcraft, which was what Kong Ming needed, plus the two armies were also considered to be life and death in this battle, so that these people were quickly included in the expeditionary force。 As for the property of the two brothers Rongshui and Rongshi, except for a small part left to their families, all of them were confiscated, and the two brothers had ruled Rock Island for so many years, how could they lack possessions? If it weren't for the twice-yearly Warcraft Tide, they would have been even richer. But even so, the empire still received a wealth equivalent to the total income of the empire for three years. This figure made the emperor who was obsessed with money excited for a long time. Every night, when he thought of the scene of those rare treasures, he hugged those imperial concubines and laughed violently, and sometimes even came to solve the problem. In any case, it is said that during this period of time, there were many pregnant princesses in the palace, which made the royal family add many members.
And after these ten days, many of the repaired warships have sailed into the harbor, which is where the warships belong, otherwise it is too shocking, and the scene of the warships going up the mountain can not be seen anywhere. Later, Kong Ming simply left a warship that could no longer be repaired and stopped on the hill to commemorate this battle. As for those specialists. In the past ten days, there has been no way to figure out what the thing that has made several high-level saints worry about it, and there is really no clue at all.
"What the hell is that?" said Ku Ming strangely. At this time, it is time for the sun to set. When the crescent moon is rising in the east. Kong Ming, Sima Wei, Kong Bing, and the three of them were walking on the beach, and it was rare to have a free time.
"From the statements obtained from those old men and the defense forces, only Rongshui and a few of them know what it is, and they are tight-lipped about this matter, and the others don't know at all, but one thing is for sure, once they enter it, they will definitely increase their strength greatly. Sima Wei said. In the past few days, he has not only collected general information, but he has also gained a lot in this regard.
"If we can get in. Then the strength can definitely be greatly increased? Where is there such a good thing!" Kong Bing said, everything is proportional to what is obtained and paid, and there will be no gain without paying.
"Where is there such a good thing in the world? I think it takes certain conditions to trigger it, and they wouldn't be fighting twice a year if they weren't there. Kong Ming said. "Forget it, I don't want to do so much!"
A few people chatted and walked along the beach.
At night, when Kong Ming was sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and carrying out his routine practice, suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Kong Ming's eyes. This figure seems to be very ethereal, as if it does not exist. He looked at Kong Ming who was practicing, and suddenly pointed out, only to see a light directly infiltrate into the sea of Kong Ming's spirit, which surprised Kong Ming who was practicing, the whole person moved a few times, but after all, it stopped, from the outside, Kong Ming was still practicing, but in the sea of Kong Ming's spirit, there were two figures, one was naturally Kong Ming himself, he who became a saint of course had enough control over his own spiritual sea, but on the other side was a different figure, his appearance was not much different from Hua Tianren, but his dress was not the common dress of the Huayuan Empire。
"Who are you, why did you enter my spiritual sea?" Kong Ming said in a deep voice, this method is a big taboo for all cultivators, even between master and apprentice, husband and wife, few people dare to do this, because usually people who do this will get some experience and understanding from each other, it can be said that if you really enter the spiritual sea without mind, then Kong Ming really has no secrets to others. Of course, although that person is in Kongming's spiritual sea now, Kongming has not opened up his spiritual power, so the other party doesn't know anything about Kongming.
"Don't panic, Xiaoyou, I'm here to bring a fortune to Xiaoyou, we are not enemies. The figure said.
"Before you say this, can you go out of the spiritual sea first, otherwise I doubt your sincerity very much. "Kong Ming is extremely vigilant, the other party is much more advanced than himself, and he has no trace of certainty. But letting the other party enter his own sea of knowledge really made him not feel at ease.
"I heard that you went to war just to get the art of flying swords?" the figure ignored Kong Ming's questioning.
"Would you have believed it if you had said that?" Kong Ming asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, I don't believe it. The figure said without thinking about it, ordinary people will replace other people's thoughts with their own thoughts.
"But my purpose is indeed very simple, that is, to obtain the art of flying swords, and then establish a foothold over there, connect the two sides, and take a look at the scenery over there. And one of the most important factors is the skill of flying swords, which allows my soldiers to fly in the sky, so that I can have a chance to get a battleship that can fly into the stars, which is the place of my dreams. Believe it or not. I can't take care of it. Kong Ming said, without the slightest hesitation, because this was his original purpose. Another one. The other party can dive into his sea of knowledge in such a silent way, and his strength is definitely beyond doubt.
"You're not here for immortality?" the figure asked strangely.
"Immortal? Why do you have such thoughts? Even when the Venerable has a path with the heavens, who can live forever?" Kong Ming really wondered what the other party said, you must know that the cycle of life and death is part of the way of heaven. Of course, this is also because Kong Ming doesn't know much about the other party, otherwise he wouldn't think like this.
"It seems that you know very little about the other side of the sea. ”
"I don't know anything about it other than the brief introduction in that book. Kong Ming said. Since the other party can find him here, then he must have a way to know some of the most basic things about the entire expeditionary force.
"Hehe, I have to say you are bold. You just read a travelogue, but you admire the content in it, which is really speechless. The figure said.
"Perhaps, he's just a travelogue to you. An ordinary book. But in a way, it is a guide to the actions of our expeditionary force, and with the introduction of it, we know a lot of things that we did not know before, and we know that the outside world is more vast, and it is also a basic goal of our expeditionary force, and with this goal, then we can definitely go in this direction. Until there is a day when the end of the line is reached. Kong Ming said.
"Hehe, I'm not here today to discuss this with you. Not. So, how about we make a deal?" said the figure.
"What deal?" asked Kuming.
"I'll give you a copy of the Flying Sword Technique, the Advanced Immortal Sword Technique, and a few basic exercises attached to it, as part of the deal, you must destroy a faction. How's it going?" the figure said.
"What kind of force?" asked Kumei.
"It won't exceed the strength of your empire. The figure said.
"Is it on the other side?"
"That's right!"
"I'm not going to do anything that violates my basic morals. ”
"I won't embarrass you, and I won't clash with the goals of those gods in your empire, and it's an evil sect, the kind that everyone can kill, so you don't have to worry about these issues. ”
"The gods of our empire?"
"It's not something you can know right now. And I advise you to forget the first sentence I just said. ”
"Well, I still know how much ability to know how big things are. I agree to your deal, and once we get to the other side, if I verify what you say, I'll get rid of that cult for you. ”
"Deal. ”
"Aren't you going to just give it to me?" said Kongming.
"I'm not that stupid, I'll give you all the stuff directly, including the map of the entire sea, and then, I'll arrange for a suitable person to discover the flying swordsmanship and those basic exercises that your army needs, just for the next two days. ”
"I hope that my soldiers will find those things and give them to me directly, I don't want those people from the imperial capital to find these things, otherwise they may be shelved again, you must know that this kind of thing is always rare. ”
"Just rest assured, I'll arrange this matter safely. It won't embarrass you. ”
"Did you also blend in with my team in another capacity?" asked Kuming.
"You don't need to know that. The figure said angrily.
"I think you're right, because I can't guarantee that one day after I send your team out, and you follow, if a real god kills me, all your goals will be in vain. ”
"Hmph, what do you say?"
"I don't care who you are, but I think it should be mixed in the Chongcheng army, I want to summon a group of guards here, well, it's better to be like this, even if you are one of the people who found it. Then there will be no problem. ”
"It's a bigger problem, but you're right, you just need to say that you'll recruit guards, and I'll naturally get involved, but you're not allowed to reveal my identity to anyone. ”
"Don't worry, the road ahead is unknown, I still have to rely on you to save my life, how can I tell my hole cards!"
"Deal!" (To be continued......)
