Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Great War Is About to Begin
The expeditionary force retreated, and it was as if it had suddenly disappeared overnight, without a trace, without a trace of mud and water.
"Commander, all the men have withdrawn from the Demon Domain, and according to your instructions, only a few warnings have been left on the island chain ahead, and all the others have withdrawn to the west of the West Island. Li Feizhi said next to Kong Ming.
Kong Ming nodded, looked at the ocean in front of him, thought for a moment and then spoke: "Order all the people to retreat westward, we need to retreat another five thousand kilometers." ”
"Retreat another 5,000 kilometers?" Li Feizhi asked with some uncertainty, although it was the cultivation of the Venerable, it was impossible to hear this wrong, but many times, it was still necessary to confirm it, after all, Kong Ming's statement was too sudden, he had just withdrawn from the Zhongzhou Continent, and then retreated so much, which was incomprehensible for a while.
"Hehe, you heard it right, it's another 5,000 kilometers back, and even here we have to give up. Don't leave any more guards, and all the people are withdrawn. Kong Ming smiled, sometimes there are things that seem too incredible in daily life, and he always needs to ask again in case something goes wrong, and he still understands this.
"Then I'm going to organize now. Li Feizhi didn't ask any more words, turned around and entered the command headquarters, organizing the troops to retreat, and he couldn't help it.
Kong Ming continued to look at the sky above the ocean, and at this time the sun was rising above the sea, constantly crawling towards the top. The sun shone on Kong Ming's face, making Kong Ming look a little strange.
"Commander, why do we want to withdraw? And once we withdraw, it will be a distance of seven or eight thousand kilometers?" Kong Bing asked with some puzzlement. In front of the West Island is the island chain, and the island chain goes on. It is the Zhongzhou Continent, if it is retreated back another 5,000 kilometers. Then the total distance adds up to seven or eight thousand kilometers.
"Hehe, we're dodging. Just dodging the catastrophe. A voice came from behind Kongming, and Zhuge Yibu said as he walked over. Kong Ming didn't answer, he said it on Kong Ming's behalf.
"Avoiding the catastrophe?" Kong Bing was a little puzzled, and many other people who were bragging and chatting on the side were also puzzled, what kind of catastrophe was it? Zhongzhou already had a catastrophe in the Demon Domain, what could be a bigger catastrophe than this?
"Yes, it's dodging the catastrophe. You must know that the fighting power of the gods and demons is very strong, although it can't be said to be moving mountains and reclamation, but. There is no doubt about the destruction of the earth, we fought in the small world before, and the damage to the small world has been great, and the battle in the demon domain is scattered because the damage is not very large, and the destructive power cannot be shown, but now the monsters are hoarding a large number of troops at the exit of the small world, do you think they are going to Zhongzhou? That is for us, after all, they are away from us. Much closer than the defense line in Zhongzhou, and very much. So they should be directed at us. And I think those sects in Zhongzhou should also know such a thing, so during this period of time, they are except for those who participated in guerrilla warfare. Everyone else is just trying to defend as much as possible, not taking the initiative. Just wait for us to lose with the monsters, and then come. They will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Kong Ming sighed, there was really no way. If it were possible, he really didn't want to guess those so-called immortals with the most sinister side of human nature.
"Oh, until there is more information at the moment. How did the commander make such a judgment? You know, after all, this is just a conjecture on your part. Kong Bing asked a little strangely, he has always had a strong curiosity about Kong Ming's magic stroke, because every time Kong Ming's determination for this reason will always bring the expeditionary force out of that danger again and again, although many of them have also been proven to be false alarms, but those things that have been confirmed, without exception, can hit the expeditionary force hard, fortunately, they all escaped. So Kong Bing's curiosity is even greater.
Kong Ming was also speechless, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to answer this benevolent brother, so he could only shake his head, sighed, and said, "I really don't know how to answer your question, but in any case, let's withdraw first." ”
When everyone saw Kong Ming's appearance, they didn't want to ask any more. Most of them were gone for a while, and they went to arrange the rest of the things, only Zhuge Yibu and Tang Mingye had nothing to do, so they also accompanied him to watch the sea.
"Why didn't you tell them just now?" Zhuge Yibu asked a little strangely, people like Kong Ming generally have one thing to say, two to say, like before, they don't say anything, or there are very few scenes where they want to stop talking, so he asks like this.
"It's useless to say too much, sometimes only when the facts appear in front of you will make people believe more, otherwise, it will only be regarded as a lie. Kong Ming sighed.
"What are you talking about?What is the catastrophe?Is the Immortal and Demon War real?" Tang Mingye asked a little strangely, as the founding emperor of the first term, he was very sensitive to this kind of thing, hearing the words of the two, he vaguely guessed something, but there were some uncertainties, so he asked like this.
Kong Ming and Zhuge Yibu looked at each other, and then Zhuge Yibu sighed: "Let me tell you!"
Kong Ming nodded, and Tang Mingye looked at Zhuge Yibu. Zhuge Yibu sorted out his thoughts and said, "The Zhongzhou Continent is a special continent, and it is a very special continent, according to the information we have collected from the Demon Domain before, there seem to be many things hidden on this continent that have never been known. One of them is why the level of immortal cultivation in Zhongzhou is so high when the cultivation level of the entire plane is generally low? You must know that in our Huatian Continent, before our expeditionary force did not rise, the strongest person in the entire continent seems to be just a venerable, of course, this is just a superficial statement, but the real thing is that in the entire continent, in addition to the central venerable, there are no more than twenty venerables in the entire continent, and the number of gods is not very large, it can be said that our expeditionary force was founded at the beginning of the sage in charge. The seventh level carries the gun, and the sixth level beats the side drum. That's what we're really doing. However, what about the Zhongzhou Continent? The Sect Master has also seen it now. There are countless Venerables in one sect, and the immortals have all started to fight, so hard that don't you think there's anything wrong with this?"
Tang Mingye thought about it, it was indeed as Zhuge Yibu said, this continent was too abnormal, one plane, the number of strong people might be more or less, but the gap would definitely not be as far as the difference between the Zhongzhou Continent and the Huatian Continent. The number of Venerables in a continent is actually no match for the number of powerhouses of an ordinary sect, which is really unreasonable.
"There is indeed something wrong, but what's wrong?" Tang Mingye said strangely.
It's a pity that Zhuge Yibu didn't answer this question, but continued: "The second is that Kong Ming and I discussed such a thing, that is, when he was in the land of gods and demons, he took over a task, that is, to serve as a pope in a kingdom of gods. In that plane, there are not many of those countries, and the competition between them is not too fierce, according to Kong Ming. It's just that there are generally a few empires or sects in the god realm and the immortal realm competing there, which is very good, but. In a Zhongzhou continent, there are so many different sects. Even the five major sects, it has been the five major sects that have become stronger here for thousands of years. Further back, various sects emerged in an endless stream, and I don't know how many were hidden in secret, not only that, but they actually crossed the two worlds of immortals and demons. So in order to confirm this matter, the commander started a guerrilla war, and let our people teach them how to fight, in essence, it is not to teach them to fight and withstand the attack of monsters, but to know how many hidden sects are in this, and sure enough, in the past few months, countless sects that did not have any information before have come out one after another, and countless small sects that were not in charge before, the number of people was only one or two hundred, and dozens of venerables actually appeared, sect master, do you think such a place is normal?"
Tang Mingye thought about it carefully and sighed, this is really abnormal. How difficult is it for each sect to cultivate a venerable? Take him as an example, after leading Mingzong to escape from Zhongzhou, in more than 2,000 years, he has only cultivated a few venerables, including them, but, take a look, here, a small sect that has never heard of it can actually emerge dozens of venerables, how can this make him embarrassed? You must know that he has only cultivated so many of them by adding two empires together, and can the sect of one or two hundred people be compared with the two empires? There is no comparison at all, but there are so many more Venerable Beings on the other side than them, why is this? Thinking of this, he looked at Kong Ming, Kong Ming single-handedly led an army of fifteen million people, there are gods and men, there are venerables, and there are only some gods, which is also an anomaly, but he knows Kong Ming's means, Zhengda Guangming, through continuous adaptation and continuous discussion, he has found a suitable path to make the venerable of the expeditionary force so many, but such an example is simply irreproducible. On the contrary, it is a common thing in Zhongzhou.
"What the hell is not normal there?" Tang Mingye asked dryly.
"We don't know why, we only know that this is not normal, we only know that our expeditionary force has inadvertently been caught in a battle between many immortal sects and the demon world, if we continue to stay here, we will definitely be gnawed to the point that there is not even a bone left, so we can only evacuate now!" This time it was Kong Ming who said, Zhuge Yibu also shook his head, who would have thought that the combat environment here was so complicated?
"......" Tang Mingye was really speechless, although this Kong Ming is known as the god of war, but the usual god-like ability is only reflected in the military, and there is no god ability in other aspects, if it weren't for Yun Haifeng to force him to marry more than a dozen wives, now this guy is still living with a single, and even whether a woman's hand has been touched or not is a question mark.
The expeditionary force withdrew, completely left the Zhongzhou mainland, and completely gave up the intention of gaining a foothold in the Zhongzhou continent. This news spread throughout the entire Zhongzhou Continent in a short period of time, so that everyone was surprised, there was an expeditionary force dragging the monsters behind the monsters, so the pressure they received on the front was not too great, and the defense line composed of formations directly blocked those monsters from the battle line, but now that the expeditionary force left, completely left, and no longer participated in this war, then the pressure they were under on the front can be imagined. Of course, this is only the idea of the middle and lower layers of the Zhongzhou Continent, and the upper layer is another one.
In a palace in the small world of the Demon Domain, at this time, Gong Ke was looking at the information in his hand with an unhappy face. Gong Ke is the commander of this operation in the Demon Realm, and he is also the supreme person in charge of the entire operation, and he is a demon, that is, a strong man between the demon king and the demon servant.
"Shoot!", only to see Gong Ke smash that information directly on the table, and his strength was reduced countless times, otherwise this information would definitely turn into powder. In front of him sat several powerhouses of the Demon Warrior level, and at this time, seeing that Gong Ke's face was not very good, everyone did not speak.
"Hemp, plan well, in a few days you can directly wipe out those so-called expeditionary forces in one fell swoop, who told me why they withdrew!" Gong Ke shouted, and his voice came directly far away.
Everyone looked at Gong Ke, who is not much different from humans, and kept thinking about how to stop this person's anger, in fact, whether it is a human or a demon or a demon, after reaching a level of demon servants, most of them like to appear as human beings, it is said that the practice is faster, of course, there are many strong people who do not like this, the general situation is to practice by themselves, only when entertaining people will appear as human faces, so it is convenient to communicate.
"The leader of the expeditionary force is known as the god of war, has he noticed something?" said a man who seemed to be a little obscene, as long as something is wrong, try to push it on the enemy, so that the only way to protect oneself is to protect oneself. Of course, the enemy is not only the enemy, but most of the time also the competitors around you.
"yes, did he notice something? After all, in the war of gods and demons, that person has such abilities. Another squire said.
When the demons heard this, this benevolent brother was really a high opinion! Even such an allusion can be revealed, it is really not ordinarily strong.
Gong Ke looked at these demon servants, the anger in his heart dropped a little, and then said: "Send some troops to reconnoiter along the sea to see if they have really withdrawn or faked." As for those hidden teams, I don't think there need to stop there anymore, and think of a way to directly reach the front line of the war with Zhongzhou without knowing it. (To be continued......)
