Chapter 279: The Demon King's Envoy
The battle is over, but the war has just begun.
Some beams are not so easy to resolve once they are knotted, not to mention that the current situation has already destined these two people to walk on the cusp.
One is the leader of the rising monster forces, and the other is the representative of the Heavenly Court diehard faction, and the tens of thousands of years of grievances between demons and gods are destined to collide between the two major warlords in the heavens and the earth.
After that night, the two sides were again preparing for war as before.
The monkey continued to pour his firearms day and night.
As the production of firearms gradually got on the right track, he ordered the construction of small warships made of pure wood to begin.
Of course, these small sampans are simply vulnerable to the steel heavy ships of the Celestial Army, but it is better than nothing.
In addition to reconnaissance and garrisoning, Short Mouth also shouldered the task of collecting materials, and the most important thing was to meet Yang Chan's needs for alchemy to ensure that he had enough pills for Huaguo Mountain to carry for several years before the war.
In this kind of war between large armies of cultivators, unless the battle can be ended in a short time, the elixir that replenishes spiritual power and heals the wounds is more important than food and grass.
Obviously, it is unlikely that Huaguoshan will defeat the Tianhe Naval Army with an army of 600,000 in a short time, and it is not surprising that the Tianhe Naval Army will defeat Huaguoshan in a short period of time. Huaguoshan's idea of war preparedness can only be based on the standards of a war of attrition.
At the beginning of the collection, the short mouth still followed the original idea, but later found that he could not complete the huge collection task, so he began to change his method - pull the nine-headed worm and run to loot the human Taoist temple.
Admittedly, this is the quickest way to get these ordinary materials.
Sometimes they also plundered the transports of the Celestial Army. It's not just the Tianhe Navy. Even the fleet of Nantianmen was robbed several times.
For this reason, Nezha was very angry. Came to the door many times to ask the teacher for sin. However, the final treatment is usually an apology - the Celestial Army's stuff fell into the monkey's pocket. Where is the reason to go back?
"Sure enough, robbery is what youkai do best. Looking at the finished pills that were mixed with the raw materials and sent over, Yang Chan finally came to such a conclusion.
On the other hand, Lu Liugui continued to control the infrastructure construction, the reorganization of the troops, and the supply of various military equipment.
Under his command, the monsters hollowed out the entire Huaguo Mountain, and the neighboring mountains were built into fortresses. In order to avoid being wiped out in case of unfavorable wars, many monsters who did not have the strength to participate in the war were even migrated to places other than Huaguo Mountain.
In terms of military supplies, the large-scale defection of youkai continues. In order to deal with the upcoming attack of the Tianhe Water Army, most of them were directly incorporated into the troops. As a result, the rapidly growing demand made Lu Liugui anxious.
Huaguoshan's productivity simply can't equip so many monsters with weapons and armor according to their original standards. So, after some discussion, they had to cancel the supply of armor altogether. Even weapons and wings, which are essential to fighting the Celestial Army, are often in short supply.
At the same time, the training is going on and on.
That & night of fighting, what made the generals of Huaguo Mountain feel the most was the well-trained Tianhe Water Army.
In terms of individual combat strength, the monsters who have come to Huaguo Mountain after life and death are stronger than the heavenly soldiers of the Tianhe Water Army in any case. But that's just individual power.
Except for Huaguoshan's original family background, the newly expanded army almost completely devoid of the concept of cooperation. Even the concept of military orders is extremely weak.
It's a single nine-headed insect with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and in the end, it didn't let the well-trained Heavenly Generals battle array trap it? Do they want to use these troops who don't even have armor and have no discipline to fight to the death against the well-trained Tianhe Naval Army, which is armed to the teeth and well-trained?
After holding a meeting, the generals of Huaguo Mountain decided to completely brainwash these monsters. The large-scale military training began.
For a long time after that, the only entertainment of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the South Heavenly Gate every day was to stand on the deck and watch the monster army drill on the opposite side. This has to be said to be a spectacle.
Compared with the heat of Huaguo Mountain, the Tianhe Water Army is much quieter.
There is the treasury of the heavenly court as the logistical support behind it. The Tianhe Navy has no shortage of armaments, nor is it short of elixir. Under the fame, there is no shortage of soldiers in the Tianhe Water Army. However, he is a truly powerful general.
From beginning to end, all that Tiancang feared was actually monkeys and hydra.
To this end, while training soldiers and horses, expanding the Sky Harbor, and building new warships, he began to recruit powerful cultivators everywhere. Unfortunately, it has had little effect.
For human cultivators, especially for particularly powerful human cultivators, their survival is not as threatened as that of youkai. In this case, joining the Heavenly Court, especially joining the Tianhe Water Army, is not a good choice.
After all, joining the Heavenly Army means being bound by military law. And the ...... obtained A small number of powerful cultivators with golden essence are not rare, and many Tianhe water armies can't afford it, as for the rare things in the mortal world such as peach elixir, the Tianhe water army is not Li Jing, and they can't take it out.
In this case, there is no way to talk about interests, and the only thing that can be negotiated is probably friendship.
Unfortunately, this road is still not open to the canopy. First, Tianpeng is not a famous teacher, and there is no so-called same door. Second, his own personality tends to be practical.
If Li Jing, who is good at managing relationships, can pull people out, maybe it can have some results, and let Tianpeng make a move, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
As for the sneak attack that has been plaguing the Tianhe Water Army.
From time to time, Tianpeng would still receive the news that the hydra led a team to sneak attack a certain fleet, and no matter how much it was chased and intercepted, it still couldn't be prevented. Fortunately, the losses are within the tolerance range, and they are not as frequent as they were at the beginning.
This is probably because the nine-headed insect was also afraid of the battle formation of the Tianhe Water Army after being trapped that night.
He became more and more cautious in selecting targets for attack, and the Tianhe Water Army itself was also very vigilant, and there were fewer and fewer targets that could be selected.
It is precisely because of this that the hydra has time to follow the short mouth to loot the Taoist temple. By the way, he also hijacked the transport ships of Nantianmen several times.
Just when the two sides were in full swing to prepare for the battle, the six demon kings in Nanzhan Buzhou were paying attention to the development of the situation while enjoying this rare second spring.
The Nantianmen fleet, which was in charge of Nanzhan Buzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, was tied up in Huaguo Mountain and could not move, and the Tianhe Naval Army, which was in charge of Beiju Luzhou and Xiniuhe Prefecture, had not yet received permission to march. The other forces of Heavenly Court were not interested in wading into the troubled waters at this time. There were constant quarrels in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
The big gods don't have time to care, and the small gods don't have the ability to care. Under all kinds of coincidences, Nanzhan Buzhou turned out to be the world of these six guys.
After a short period of silence, these six guys healed their scars and forgot about the pain, and decisively took advantage of this great opportunity to establish a new monster force in the southwest of Nanzhan Continent, and began to continuously invade the surrounding areas, conquering other demon kings and even humans by force.
Monsters generally have the habit of attaching themselves to the powerful demon king, after all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. So relying on their strong strength, these six guys put together a patchwork of hundreds of thousands of demon troops in Nanzhan Buzhou, where the demon clan is still thriving, and they were in the limelight for a while.
Of course, in the eyes of the Tianhe Water Army, this is just another rabble, even worse than the one they had previously set in Lianwoduan in Xiniuhe Prefecture.
But the demon kings didn't think about it so much, they still kept recruiting troops and horses, and they enjoyed it.
gritted his teeth, and the days of dull and undulating were passed day by day.
In October of the following year, a whole year had passed, and the bad debts of the Heavenly Court had still not been clarified. Tian Peng still didn't get the holy decree he had been waiting for, but the monkey met the envoy sent by the Six Demon Kings in Huaguo Mountain.
"Little girl Bai Su, see the Monkey King. ”
In the temporary cave mansion, the monkey stared at the envoy who bowed to the ground in front of him, touched his chin and thought for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Bai Su......? Bone Spirit?"
"The Monkey King has good eyesight. Bai Su slowly raised his head, revealing that innocent face, and said with a smile: "Among the people the slave family has seen, the Monkey King is the first person who can see through the slave family's true appearance at a glance. ”
The monkey's brow furrowed slightly.
This white bone spirit looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, his face was pure and quiet, and his delicate eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance like two black pearls, and he was matched with a white dress and simple hair accessories...... That image is really "harmless to humans and animals".
What's more, she doesn't have any of the characteristics of a youkai, not even a demonic aura. If it weren't for the introduction of the Halloween Dragon King, who knew that she was a monster, and the word "white" in the name attracted attention, the monkey would probably only regard her as an ordinary human girl.
However, it is not surprising that her true appearance is "human" in itself.
After a slight pause, the monkey gently tuddled the armrest of the throne and asked, "If you want to see me, why don't you come by yourself?
Bai Su rolled his round eyes and said with a smile: "The affairs of several kings of my family have been complicated recently, and the sudden visit is too abrupt, so let Su Su go first to greet the Monkey King." ”
"Oh, is that so?" the monkey laughed, took a sip of the teacup next to him, and said leisurely, "It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to go back if I come, so I'll let you explore the road first to see if it's safe, right?"
"Did the Monkey King laugh?" Bai Su blinked her innocent eyes and said, "The Monkey King is all over the East and Shenzhou, and several kings of my family are sitting on Nanzhan Buzhou. They both belong to the demon king and have a common enemy, so they should naturally join hands, how can there be any reason to fight in the same room? Could it be that the Monkey King doesn't need allies?"
She covered her mouth and smiled, but the monkey did not laugh along. On the contrary, the original polite smile on the monkey's face gradually disappeared, and only an icy and cold expression remained.
After a long time, it wasn't until Bai Sudu put away his smile slightly embarrassed that the monkey said slowly: "I need allies, and I need them all the time." Now more than ever, allies are needed. I don't need allies who can sell my teammates, though. (To be continued......)
