Chapter 395: Foreign Aid
"The Extreme Northern Wasteland?" Ye Zhiying wondered, "What is there to go to in the Extreme Northern Wasteland?"
If you continue to the north, in addition to the endless wasteland, there is no grass there, and the land cannot be cultivated, even if you ride the fastest for seven days and seven nights, you can only see cracked ground and stones, and only all kinds of strange insects and beasts, relying on cannibalism to survive in the Far North Wasteland, except for a few cities in the extreme north in normal times, no one will go to the wasteland where there is nothing to exploreγ
Regarding Ye Zhiying's doubts, Qin Wu told Ye Zhiying what he had just seen from Ren Hanran's suicide note, and emphasized the possible connection between the Witch Kingdom and the Alien Beast Tide.
After listening to Qin Wu's story, Ye Zhiying thought for a while and muttered, "Beast tide...... Umno ...... It is indeed very strange that you said this, but when I inquired about the news from the people of the Northern Alliance just now, I also heard them mention some unusual things. β
"Something unusual?" Qin Wu asked.
Ye Zhiying said slowly: "According to what they said, monsters like king-level alien beasts, according to records, have appeared three times in the past hundred years, the first time was when a hunting team entered the Extreme Northern Wasteland, and that time, the king-level alien beasts did not attack them, but just let people know about such a monster." β
"The second time was about a year ago, when this beast tide began, it was also the one that was defeated by Han Shouyi, the master of the Shenwei Sect, and the third time, it was we who met this ......."
"It's not like there hasn't been a wave of strange beasts here in the far north before, but there has never been a king-level beast, which is why the Northern Alliance has been able to exist for so long, because they can deal with the tide of strange beasts, and now, the king-level beasts that are rare in a hundred years have appeared twice in a row in just one year, and both times they appeared when the tide of strange beasts attacked the city. β
Qin Wu nodded and said, "In this way, this matter is indeed even more suspicious. β
"Suspicious is suspicious, right......" Ye Zhiying shrugged his shoulders, "However, is it in our interest to explore the Far North? Even if it really has something to do with Umno, it should be the people of the Northern Alliance to solve it, and if we solve it, we won't be able to get any additional benefits from the Northern Alliance." β
Qin Wu forcibly vetoed Ye Zhiying's idea, "Although the Northern Alliance is not under my control, this can't be a reason for me to sit idly by and ignore this matter, even if these magnates and soldiers are removed, what about the people of the extreme north? Have you forgotten the refugees we met when we first arrived in the north? They are also part of the things I want to protect, Ren Hanran asked me in the letter, how can I watch everything be ruined?"
Ye Zhiying was silent for a while, and then said: "But I want you to prioritize, the materials we collected here are not used for foreign beasts and witch kingdoms, but for you to use as capital to deal with Han and Yang kingdoms, otherwise if you rush into the Extreme North Wasteland, it will inevitably cause a lot of losses, unless you go alone, but you have also seen the horror of king-level beasts, it is impossible for me to let you go alone." β
Qin Wu said: "But here is also heavy, and it is also urgent, if it is really the Wu Kingdom that is playing ghosts, if they are allowed to do it like this, I don't know what other big disasters will happen, what if they get a king-level beast in the hinterland of the Han Kingdom one day? If it is the enemy's army, it can still resist, but if it is a king-level beast, what will those ordinary cities do?"
In order to avoid Ye Zhiying's continued persuasion, Qin Wu firmly added: "I have made up my mind, Brother Zhiying doesn't need to continue to say, if it is all caused by the Wu Kingdom, then the Wu Kingdom will also be my enemy, and they are all enemies, why should I go far?"
Ye Zhiying sighed, "Alas, okay, but if you really want to go, it's best to find Huang Tian, if he comes with you, it will be much safer." β
"Hmm. Qin Wu nodded, "I'll go and ask Master Huang Tian." β
If he could, Qin Wu still wanted to pull the Northern Alliance up, after all, Qin Wu was not stupid, although this matter had to be investigated and resolved, it didn't mean that Qin Wu had to complete it with all his might, the armies of those powerful people in the Northern Alliance, Qin Wu didn't have much hope, unless there were higher interests to tempt them, but if Shenweimen, Qin Wu felt that he could give it a try.
Now that the matter has been decided, then the next step is to take action, so Ye Zhiying did not continue to dissuade anything, but discussed with Qin Wu whether to wait for the soldiers to be exchanged for king-level alien beast materials and set off, or to wait here until the Tiger Ben Army also came before leaving.
Qin Wu thought about it for a while, and decided to wait for the Tiger Ben Army to come before acting together, after all, the strength of the soldiers here in the extreme north is too different from the Tiger Ben army, if all the fur is changed, although it can be exchanged for 400,000 troops, but whether these seven cities can take out 400,000 troops for themselves is still a problem, even if they are given, Qin Wu will not be able to bring all the 400,000 troops to the Far North Wasteland, too many people will not only slow down the march, but also may cause a large number of foreign beast attacks, all of which are negative effects.
So after some calculations, Qin Wu decided to mainly take the Tiger Ben Army with him, although the Tiger Ben Army didn't need to go through any more combat experience, but after too much time, Qin Wu didn't know if they could still cooperate as closely as they did when they fought with the Seven Absolute Army before, and Qin Wu himself also had something new to teach the Tiger Ben Army, and that new thing could be tested in actual combat while fighting with the alien beasts.
In the end, Qin Wu and Ye Zhiying sent away Bai Gaolan and other powerful people of the Northern Alliance, and at the invitation of Zhang Ruoshen, the Taishou of Qicheng, Qin Wu and the others were also ready to leave this inn and go to live in the mansion arranged by Zhang Ruoshen.
may not have expected Qin Wu to leave with him, Gong Shan, who was so angry that he came out of the door, was gathering with a few people at this time, discussing something with righteous words.
Although there is a little distance, it stands to reason that Qin Wu's position will not be able to hear them, but it is only limited to ordinary people like Ye Zhiying, with Qin Wu's strength, he can still hear them clearly.
That Gong Shan said excitedly to the others: "Everyone, the corpse of that king-level beast should have been divided by us, why did Qin Wu take advantage of an outsider? Besides, that Qin Wu is a thief who is against the imperial court, we didn't settle accounts with him, but he actually dares to swagger and pretend with us!" I think we should find a way to take down Qin Wu, so that we don't need to give troops and materials, we can divide the corpse of the king-level beast, and we can also arrest Qin Wu, whether we are dead or alive, we will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, what do you think?"
Beside Gong Shan, a Humpty Dumpty man said worriedly: "Do you think we don't want to? If that Qin Wu is an ordinary fugitive, don't we need to discuss it here at all, and the guards at the city gate will be taken down, but then Qin Wu is a master of condensation, even the imperial court dares to directly confront the person who does it, if we annoy him, we can't afford the loss." β
Gong Shan scolded: "What are you afraid of, although he is a master of concentrating, doesn't our Northern Realm Alliance also have more than a dozen internal force masters? Even if we can't, there are still those two in Jicheng, as well as the master of the Han Sect, and even the master who can defeat the king-level beast with one palm is also here, I don't believe that Qin Wu can turn the sky up with a thief?"
But when Gong Shan was excitedly talking about various ways to win against Qin Wu, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his companion's eyes, and how could he be even more scared after listening to what he said?
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Gong Shan, "Oh, are you sure you want to arrest me?"
"The Extreme Northern Wasteland?" Ye Zhiying wondered, "What is there to go to in the Extreme Northern Wasteland?"
If you continue to the north, in addition to the endless wasteland, there is no grass there, and the land cannot be cultivated, even if you ride the fastest for seven days and seven nights, you can only see cracked ground and stones, and only all kinds of strange insects and beasts, relying on cannibalism to survive in the Far North Wasteland, except for a few cities in the extreme north in normal times, no one will go to the wasteland where there is nothing to exploreγ
