Chapter 50: The Storm of the Ming Yuan (23)
Kong Ming knew that they needed time, and he had been buying more time for the expeditionary force, and not only that, but he also needed to increase the combat effectiveness of the entire expeditionary force to a point where it could cope with any threat, otherwise he would not have been taking a weak policy because of this. As for it, rushing directly to Alcatraz Island to kill the teleportation array of that plane, this kind of thing is not unthinkable, but, after thinking about it, you know that this kind of thing is not realistic, not that there is no ability, but that it can't, because if it is said that destroying the teleportation array can accomplish such a goal, then those who attacked Alcatraz Island before would have destroyed the teleportation array above, and there will be a period of popular history and poetry, allowing people to show their heroic deeds and the greatness of mankind, but now it is obvious that these have not appeared, and most of the history shown in the eyes of the world is after the demon tide has receded, The Huatian Continent coalition army chased out of Alcatraz Island, and then, they withdrew directly, never mentioning anything like building a solid castle on it, so that this kind of tragic thing would not happen again, as for what reason, those histories were not clearly written, and no one said what happened above. Moreover, if just by defeating that teleportation array could cut off the entire Demon Realm from the Huatian Continent, then the Venerable on the Huatian Continent would definitely be very willing to make a move, after all, the demons and their goals were exactly the same, so they were the group of people who had the most reason to do so. So Kong Ming didn't have any hope of destroying that passage.
Kong Ming is not hopeful about this, but. It takes time, so I played this tactic with the demon to fuel the enemy, but. After hearing some of the reasons that Zhuge Yibu said today, he really woke him up, if he still needs such a passive way to accept the enemy's attack, then it will inevitably be a huge battle in the future, and although the outcome of the battle is not decidable, the consequences of the battle are predictable. That is, the lives are ruined, the people cannot live, even if the expeditionary force is victorious. There is also a significant price to pay. After all, with more than fifty demon empires of the enemy, each empire sends a hundred gods, those demon armies will have five thousand gods, and if people send a thousand gods from each empire. Then there are 50,000 gods. In this way, countless are in the high-end combat power or in the low-end combat power, in both aspects, the demon can completely defeat the expeditionary force, if so, then the next battle, it is really difficult to grasp, I really don't want to know. Zhuge Yibu's words really alarmed the deep fear in Kong Ming's heart.
What Kong Ming didn't expect was that he still undercounted the number of Demon Empires. It should be more than a hundred, and the general empire in the Demon Empire is based on a thousand gods in order to form a demon empire, that is to say, each demon empire will have at least a thousand gods before the entire war is launched, and this number is only a lot more, if they are all sent at once, it will be 100,000 gods, which is far beyond the number of gods in the expeditionary force, not to mention, there are many gods in those gods are gods above the second level, which is even more different from the situation in the expeditionary force that is basically based on the first-level gods, so the gap will be more than doubled, it can almost be said that as long as the Demon Realm is serious once, then the expeditionary force will be wiped out, without exception.
In this way, the method of blocking the enemy on Mingyuan Island is no longer suitable, they must find a place where they can exert their combat effectiveness, or a place where they can win more with less, in order to defeat this invasion of demons, which requires terrain. So, where would there be such terrain?
While the people in the command were still listening to Zhuge Yibu expounding on something, Kong Ming had already turned his eyes to Alcatraz Island. Alcatraz Island, the only place where there is a teleportation array that spans two planes, and only there can all the enemy's support be cut off, and only there can control the entire war with the demon in your hands, now at this time, how can you get this place, and after getting it, how can you hold it? You must know that for so many years, the demons have been operating on it, although it is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, but it seems to be about the same, and the main thing is that they really know nothing about it, unknown, so it is even more terrifying. However, the terrain advantage is so obvious, and the enemy is almost pouring out, thinking that there may not be much strength there, this qiē seems to be feasible.
Shaking his head, Kong Ming thought about it, many things were not thought out clearly, not figured out, as if there was something wrong, seeing that everyone was talking, he didn't listen to it anymore, these things no longer have any meaning, walked outside, looked at the sea again, and slowly stabilized the feelings in his heart just now. He took a deep breath, and then spit it out, the sea breeze cleared his mind a lot, he shook his head, thinking too much, really thinking too much, Kong Ming sighed, I don't know what the reason was, let him just think about directly attacking Alcatraz Island, or the strength of those demon armies that he imagined was really saving, but what could it be, even if the enemy had 100,000 gods, would they dare to bring so many gods at one time, would they only have one enemy in Huatian Continent? If they dare to come out like this, then Kong Ming would dare to use this army of 10 million and 30,000 gods to deal with them, he was really enchanted just now! Besides, what kind of thing is it, is it really worth the price of tens of thousands of gods to do such a thing?
Kong Ming looked at the scenery in the distance and calmed his whole mind for a moment. Kong Ming didn't know that he was not obsessed with it just now, but one of the most basic things in human nature, that is, it is easy to expand difficulties, that is to say, it is easy for people to imagine something that they don't understand, or something that is difficult, or something that is very difficult to solve. It is even many times more than the individual's endurance, just like the empty light just now, due to the ignorance of the enemy. It is easy to magnify the enemy's ability and number, and the enemy is in a state of invincibility, which makes him have the urge to directly kill Alcatraz, this kind of thing is a very normal thing for a person, as long as the person calms down, then he can quickly see through this boring lie, but. If the human mind is in an uncontrollable state, it is very easy to fall into this seemingly simple trap. In particular, those who have very low excitement are more likely to fall into this trap. There are many examples of this kind in previous battles, and the most incomprehensible thing about this kind of battle is why they were not defeated all at once, but almost instantly, they fell into hell. And the opposite is true. If a person is too smooth. Then it is easy to imagine an easy thing more easily, and at this time, the enemy will be very low, as if he can achieve victory in an instant, such a person is also prone to uncontrollable thinking, easy to cause failure. It's not about difficulty or simplicity, it's just human nature, and it's more about the character of the commander.
Kong Ming didn't know that he was not wrong with such an idea. Moreover, the number of all the gods of the Demon Empire is not 50,000, but 100,000. Of course, this is an imaginary number, which does not exclude some gods who have not been calculated, or dead gods, but it is impossible for them to pour out for the same thing that is only useful to the Venerable, or only for a few demons, you must know that the demons are selfish, what kind of Venerable sent so many demon gods to come over to do such a thing has already made those demon empires have a certain amount of complaints, if more demon gods are sent over, then at that time it will not be a question of whether their Venerable will come, but when the demon world will be attacked by the enemy, You must know that the Demon Realm is not only an enemy in Huatian Continent, and it is not only a passage across the two realms on Alcatraz Island, not to mention more than a hundred empires, which is even more complicated, in short, the war between these two planes is not yet the turn of the expeditionary force led by Kong Ming can solve it. Of course, because Kong Ming thought so, he directly missed an opportunity to directly attack Alcatraz Island, and now there are no more demons on Alcatraz Island except for a small number of demons who are guarding the demon base camp, because just now, the last demon participating in the battle has just left Alcatraz Island.
Liao Qingqiu, is a secret god, before he became a soldier of the expeditionary force, he was a thief, specializing in stealing chickens and dogs, because he is a secret line, and he is more proficient in the real skills of thieves than others, and he is more proficient, and after his head convulsed for some reason, he also joined the expeditionary force, and soon became a god, and now he is also a senior scout in the intelligence department of the expeditionary force. He was now one of the people in charge of monitoring the dispatch of troops from Alcatraz, and at this time he was sitting on the body of a flying monster, in the extremely high sky, using the cover of clouds, watching the last demon leave Alcatraz, and next to him there were several scouts, who were filming there with several magic equipment, and then teleported directly back to the headquarters.
"Team Liao, it seems that the last demon has left Alcatraz Island, and there has not been a single demon coming out for more than ten minutes now, what should we do now?" asked Cao Yong next to him, he is a sage of the wind system, and he is also a monk of the Jindan period, as a scout, he generally chooses to focus on the wind system and the dark system, because people with these two attributes are most suitable for escape and hiding.
"The Alcatraz Island in front of us, although those demons have left, it looks a little empty, but because of the storage of those demonic qi, we can't see very far, and if we go in, we are very uncomfortable, and if we leave here, if there are other unexpected situations, it will be very passive, after all, our mission is to reconnoitre. Liao Qingqiu said, this sentence is indeed not wrong, if they leave this position, then for the expeditionary force, they will lose an extremely important source of intelligence unit, but if they don't take this opportunity, while most of those demons have left Alcatraz Island, and at this time Alcatraz Island does not have too many demons, conduct a good reconnaissance of this place, in that case. It is a big loss in the expeditionary force, after all, these things must have an incomparably huge impact on the future battles, after all, the expeditionary force has never gone in and reconnoitred in the real sense of the word. So this time it's definitely of great significance. After thinking about it, Liao Qingqiu said: "Cui Haimin and I went in to reconnoitre, and the other people, under the leadership of the deputy captain, stayed here to reconnoitre, and if there was any situation, they would report directly to the top." ”
Choi Haemin is a dark sage. At this time, he heard Liao Qingqiu say about himself, and smiled consciously. They are now all above the sky, among the white clouds, so no demon will see their being. That's why they can stay here all the time.
"Okay!Team Liao, but you have to come back quickly! After all, this place already belongs to the enemy's back, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will stab the hornet's nest!" Cao Yong laughed, and now most of the demons have left. Alcatraz has a limited number of demons. So although he will encounter demons, it is difficult to see the thing of stabbing the hornet's nest, so he is just joking.
"Well, you guys should also pay attention here, I'll take the No. 2 magic camera with me, and it's also open all the way, and it will be sent directly to the headquarters. In that case, we can always get first-hand information. All right. Let's go!"
After Liao Qingqiu whispered this, he directly stepped on the flying sword and Cui Haimin left the flying demonic beast directly, and flew towards Alcatraz Island, when approaching Alcatraz Island, they landed directly to a place more than five meters above the sea, and then quietly approached Alcatraz Island, after all, this is still the territory of demons, if you swagger in, it is easy to be discovered and attacked by demons, if that happens, the entire reconnaissance will fail. When the two approached Alcatraz, they realized that they were not being monitored in any way, so they flew directly into the island.
After coming to Alcatraz Island, they found that although there were no demons on Alcatraz Island, the sky of the entire Alcatraz Island was still surrounded by demonic energy, and because there were too many demons crowded here before, the smell of the whole demon's excrement made the two of them choke a few mouthfuls.
"Team Liao, you can't get your feet here, what should I do?" Cui Haimin asked, their original plan was not to fly, but to slowly touch it along the terrain, so that it would be more hidden, but in this situation, where can it be touched?
"There's no way, just fly it, anyway, it's still a long distance from their center here, just use the terrain and fly over!" Liao Qingqiu sighed, if they fly in the sky, then they will be people in the dark system, those sneaking and the like will disappear directly, in other words, that is, it will be invalid, in this way, it is better to let the people of the wind system conduct reconnaissance, in that case, run faster.
"That's right, if we've been stealth, we don't know when we'll start reaching the heart of Alcatraz. Cui Haimin also sighed, Alcatraz Island, although the name is just an island, but the area is almost the size of an empire, in such a huge place to use stealth, I don't know what year and month it will take to reach the central area of Alcatraz Island.
So the two of them could only fly forward with their feet on the ground, and at the same time, the magic shooting equipment they opened recorded every place they arrived, and what they didn't know at this time was that because of their entry, the entire expeditionary force headquarters was excited about this, this was the first time that someone had really entered Alcatraz Island to reconnoiter since this war. And when the war started, those people just entered Alcatraz Island to fish and fight the demons, and did not really reconnoiter this place. Several of the main commanders were watching the situation on Alcatraz Island, and the intelligence officers needed to constantly compare the various numbers sent by the shooting equipment to prevent any mistakes, and at the same time send those records to Liao Qingqiu and the two of them, so that it would be convenient for them to travel, you know, they are now crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they can't make mistakes.
Two hours later, Liao Qingqiu and the others still hadn't found a single demon, and they couldn't see far in the whole dark place, and it was almost dark.
"Head, something doesn't seem right!" Cui Haemin said.
"What's wrong?" Liao Qingqiu has been flying for two hours, and what he has seen is almost the same scene, dark black tones, many plants have never been found in the outside world, they are full of demonic energy, and they are covered with a thick layer of demonic qi around them, and they are constantly seeping outward, on the earth, due to the long-term residence of demons, they are covered with a thick layer of demonic soil, and there is really no way to compare with the places they usually see, and at this time, they also slowly feel that it is extremely difficult for them to absorb spiritual power, and their breathing has long been turned into internal breathing, otherwise, the whole body must be very permeable to those demonic qi。
"Head, we've been flying for more than two hours, it stands to reason that we've arrived a long time ago, how come it is that I haven't seen a single demon until now? Is it a mistake in the direction?" Cui Haimin said, this kind of environment makes him really very uncomfortable, the demonic qi is eroding his body every minute, if it weren't for the fact that he has a little more medicine on his body, he would have been killed by the demonic qi a long time ago, where can he still fly in the sky like now?
"Don't guess these things, we're flying towards the center now!" Liao Qingqiu said, it's not hard to guess, because where they flew over, the excrement of the demons on it is getting less and less, which means that they are getting closer and closer to the center of Alcatraz Island. Because they knew that demons were just demonic beasts in the demon realm in a certain way, they maintained similar habits, and high-level demons all had a certain territory next to them.
After another hour, they still didn't see a single demon, and the entire Alcatraz was completely silent. In front of them was a huge mountain range, after turning over the mountain range, a scene that shocked them appeared, under them was a huge demon city, and above the center of the demon city, there was a mountain that was not too high, and at the top of the mountain, there was a huge spatial teleportation array.
"Head, we've found it!" Cui Haimin said excitedly.
"That's right, we found it!" Liao Qingqiu also said, he also stunned this huge city, and stunned the huge dimensional teleportation array.
Not just the two of them, but everyone in the command headquarters was stunned by this huge demonic city and dimensional teleportation array. (To be continued......)
