Chapter 22: The North Sea Dragons block the way
The North Sea is located in the north of the Honghuang Continent, intersecting with the northern part of the Honghuang Continent, and together with the East China Sea, the West China Sea, and the South China Sea, it is called the Four Seas, enclosing the Honghuang Continent in it. The army of the long-eared Dingguang Immortal wants to conquer the Arctic Ocean. The North Sea is a must-see. Among the four seas, in fact, the area of the North Sea should be the largest, that is, it is a few points larger than the East China Sea, which is the first of the four seas, and it stands to reason that it should be the strongest sea area among the four seas. In fact, otherwise, the North Sea Dragon Clan is the weakest among the Four Seas Dragon Clan, ranking last.
The main reason why Beihai's strength is at the bottom of the four seas is that Beihai has a strong neighbor, and this strong neighbor is the target of the long-eared Dingguang Immortal this time - Kunpeng. Kunpeng was born in the Arctic Ocean in the north of the North Sea since the beginning of the opening of the sky, and when he first preached in Zixiao Palace, he was already a famous and powerful desolate power.
Kunpeng naturally attaches great importance to power, and likes the feeling of majesty and immortal arching, so after cultivating successfully, he subdued all the demon clans in the Arctic Ocean where he lived, and called him the king and ancestor in the Arctic Ocean. In fact, his ** is far more than that, and a mere Arctic Ocean can't satisfy his appetite at all. It's just that at that time, the land of the four seas was already occupied by the dragon clan, and with the strong strength of the dragon clan at that time, Kunpeng really didn't have the courage to provoke, so he had to grieve himself and close the door to dominate the Arctic Ocean.
In fact, the Arctic Ocean should also be included in the North Sea strictly speaking. Just because there is such a strong neighbor as Kunpeng who occupies the Arctic Ocean and occupies most of the territory of Beihai, although Beihai is the most extensive ocean in the four seas, the sea frontier ruled by the Beihai Dragon Clan is the narrowest among the Four Seas Dragon Clan, so it is no wonder that the North Sea Dragon Clan is the last in strength among the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
In the heyday of the Dragon Clan's strength, Kunpeng did not dare to provoke the Dragon Clan, but because the Dragon Clan had the two major rivals of the Qilin Clan and the Feng Clan looking around, they did not want to easily provoke a powerful figure like Kunpeng and make many strong enemies for themselves. Therefore, although there were occasional skirmishes between the North Sea boundary and the Arctic Ocean, on the whole, the two families have always been at peace.
This situation did not change until after the Longhan Tribulation. The battle between the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans competed for the hegemony of the flood famine, triggering the catastrophe of the dragon and the Han. The final result of the Dragon and Han Tribulation was that the three clans were defeated, the Qilin clan was almost wiped out, and the dragon and phoenix clans were also all lost.
Kunpeng saw the decline of the three clans, so he began to take advantage of the fire to rob, first went to the Dragon Clan base camp in the East China Sea to rob the Dragon Clan's treasure, was defeated by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and later hit the idea of the Feng Clan's treasure, went to the Feng Clan, saw Xi and Chang Xi's two spiritual treasures, and his heart was greedy, which led to a series of events such as the long-eared Dingguang Immortal standing up to save the Moon God, and finally was defeated by Di Jun with a punch, and escaped back to the Arctic Ocean nest with injuries.
Although Kunpeng, who had escaped back to the lair of the Arctic Ocean, began to concentrate on recuperating and cultivating, he never stopped harassing the North Sea Dragon Clan. The Beiyang Demon Clan, which belongs to the Arctic Ocean, often clashes with the Beihai Clan, which is dominated by the Beihai Dragon Clan, under the will of Kunpeng, and takes the opportunity to continuously encroach on the Beihai region and expand its territory.
Although the Beihai Dragon Clan was very angry about this, and was well aware of Kunpeng's ambition to annex Beihai, due to Kunpeng's strong strength and the actual situation of the weakening strength of his own clan, they could only swallow their anger and retreat step by step to the continuous approach of the Arctic Ocean, making a large area of the North Sea area annexed by the Arctic Ocean and becoming Kunpeng's territory. The North Sea Dragon Clan hated Kunpeng to the core, but they were helpless.
This time, Kunpeng was injured and fled back, and the North Sea Dragon Clan was the first to get the news because of its territory next to the Arctic Ocean. Kunpeng was seriously injured, and the demon clan belonging to the Arctic Ocean was panicked and had no intention of invading again, which greatly reduced the pressure on Beihai.
The Dragon King of the North Sea was secretly happy in his heart, the fly in the ointment was that Kunpeng was only seriously injured this time, and it would be even better if he died. Although the Beihai Dragon Clan also had the intention to take advantage of the fire to rob and go to Kunpeng for trouble, they thought they would retaliate, but because of their own strength, they did not have the slightest chance of winning even against the seriously injured Kunpeng, so they had to spread the news to the outside world, hoping that someone would go to the Arctic Ocean to take advantage of the fire to rob and put Kunpeng to death. The source of the information about Kunpeng's serious injuries obtained by Heavenly Court was the North Sea Dragon Clan.
After the decline of the dragon clan, although there are still some remaining masters in the clan, these masters are either seriously injured and difficult to recover, or are discouraged, or live in seclusion, or break away from the dragon clan, which makes the strength of the dragon clan even weaker, and the characters who can be put on the stage are even rarer. Among the dragon clan, there are four Ao brothers with true dragon blood, namely Ao Madness, Ao Feng, Ao Storm, and Ao Yu, each of whom is a Da Luo True Immortal cultivator, who saw the opportunity to win over the clansmen, fight against competitors, and did everything possible to obtain the support of the remaining masters of the Dragon Clan, and finally succeeded in ascending to the throne of the Dragon King of the Four Seas. The Dragon King of the North Sea is the youngest of the four brothers.
The army of long-eared Dingguang Immortals came to conquer the Arctic Ocean, and Ao Yu, the Dragon King of the North Sea, had already received the news. Hearing the news, Ao Yu was both happy and afraid. Happy, someone is finally going to clean up Kunpeng, for Kunpeng, a villain who has repeatedly bullied the dragon clan, Ao Yu has long hated the root of his teeth, wishing that someone would kill him, and the heavenly court came to ask for Kunpeng, which is his mind. I'm afraid, Heavenly Court came to beat the rabbit with grass this time, and by the way, he also swept away his Beihai, then he would regret it.
If the Heavenly Court army wants to conquer the Arctic Ocean, it must pass through the North Sea region, and it cannot be avoided. This requires Ao Yu to choose an attitude to face the upcoming Heavenly Court army. This is a major event related to the future rise and fall of the Beihai Dragon Clan, so we must not be cautious.
After much thought, Ao Yu finally decided to adopt a strategy of first hard and then soft to deal with the Heavenly Court army that arrived this time. In the face of the tens of millions of Heavenly Court troops of the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortals, it is not advisable to fight against them, with the strength of the North Sea Dragon Clan, if they confront the Heavenly Court army, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But the North Sea Dragon Clan can't blindly welcome each other with weakness, otherwise it will reveal the weakness of the Dragon Clan, and it will be easier to arouse the Heavenly Court's subdued heart.
According to Ao Yu's idea, the Beihai Dragon Clan should first show the enemy to be tough, and face the Heavenly Court army of the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal with an attitude that is neither humble nor arrogant, and cannot easily let the Heavenly Court army pass, but must show a certain tough attitude, and then make way for the Heavenly Court army after giving the Heavenly Court army a dismount, which not only shows that the Dragon Clan cannot be insulted, but also avoids the Heavenly Court's ambition against the Dragon Clan, and at the same time can avoid a head-on collision with the behemoth of Heavenly Court, so that Heavenly Court and Kunpeng can compete and save the Dragon Clan itself.
However, if this idea wants to be successfully achieved, the most important point is to give the Heavenly Court army a successful dismount, let Heavenly Court taste the bitterness first, and then compromise and retreat with a soft attitude, only in this way can the desired effect be achieved. If it fails to deter the success of the Heavenly Court, it will instead expose the weakness of the dragon clan and aggravate the crisis of the dragon clan.
This requires a real master to be in charge, and the bluff must be pretended to be decent in order to be able to deceive the heavenly court and survive this crisis of the dragon clan. For the army that Heavenly Court came to conquer this time, from the commander to the generals, from the number of soldiers and horses to the deployment of troops, Ao Yu has already figured out the details of it. According to his calculations, as long as he can successfully block the vanguard of Heavenly Court and give Heavenly Court some color, he will basically be able to achieve his goal of deterrence, and then open the way for Heavenly Court, presumably Heavenly Court will no longer easily fight the idea of the Dragon Clan.
But the vanguard general of Heavenly Court this time is Bi Fang, but this is a problem. For Bi Fang, a famous general of the Feng clan in the past, Ao Yu naturally would not be unaware. That is a real demon clan great sage cultivation, even in the strong period of the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clans, it was also one of the few hard hands, and there were countless dragon clan soldiers who died under him. Looking at the entire Beihai Dragon Clan, the strongest is him, the Dragon King, but he only has the cultivation of Da Luo True Immortal, and for Bi Fang, who has already entered the realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal, can he take over a move from others, let alone suffer for others.
Helpless, Ao Yu had to return to the East China Sea Dragon Clan's base camp for help. For Ao Yu's request, all the high-level dragon clans in the entire dragon clan's lair attach great importance to it, which is not only related to the safety of the Beihai dragon clan, but also related to the safety of the entire dragon clan. If the North Sea Dragon Clan succeeds in deterring Heavenly Court, then the other Three Sea Dragon Clans will naturally not be in any danger, if the North Sea Dragon Clan sings this scene, not only the North Sea Dragon Clan will not be protected, but even the Eastern, Southern, and Western Three Sea Dragon Clans will also be unable to escape the fate of being conquered by Heavenly Court.
So the remaining masters of the Dragon Clan, whose status was equivalent to that of the Dragon Clan's Taishang Elder, urgently summoned Ao Feng, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and Ao Storm, the Dragon King of the West Sea, to the East China Sea, and all the high-level leaders of the Dragon Clan conducted urgent discussions, and finally decided to transfer all the masters of the Dragon Clan who could be dispatched in time to Beihai to help, pretending to be the Dragon Clan of the North Sea, and giving the vanguard of the Heavenly Court army a dismount. In order to resist and defeat Bi Fang, a master of the Da Luo Jin Immortal level, Ying Long, who can be called the most powerful of the remaining masters of the dragon clan, also rushed to Beihai with Ao Yu to help.
Ao Yu, who moved to the rescue, can be said to be full of confidence, although the dragon clan has declined, but after all, it was once a race that dominated the wilderness, and the remaining strength of the clan is still very strong, and now in order to preserve the reading power of the dragon clan, the essence of the dragon clan has been exhausted, not to mention that the number of masters has far exceeded the vanguard of the heavenly court led by Bi Fang, and compared with the entire Demon Monarch Palace, it is also a cut more.
In terms of top combat power, Ying Long was one of the nine dragon gods of the dragon clan back then, and he was the first-rate master under the dragon clan's ancestral god Candle Dragon, as early as the three clans Armageddon, he was already the powerhouse of the peak of Da Luo Jin Xian, although his strength had not improved over the years because of the damage to the foundation in the war, but it was not comparable to Bi Fang, a figure in the middle of Da Luo Jin Xian.
There are many water tribes in the ocean, and in terms of number alone, there are even more demon tribes than the number of demon tribes on the Flood Desolate Continent. The Beihai Dragon Clan dominates the Beihai, whether there are more or not, hundreds of millions of sailors can still make up the army, although the average combat power is weaker than the Heavenly Court army, but the number is more than ten times that of the army led by the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal.
In this way, in terms of both the number of soldiers and the number of masters, the North Sea Dragon Clan is far higher than the Heavenly Court vanguard troops. Moreover, Ying Long is stronger than Bi Fang, and the Beihai Dragon Clan is also stronger in terms of top combat power. With the absolute upper hand in all aspects, how could the vanguard of the Heavenly Court Army be undefeated?
When Bi Fang led the vanguard army to the Beihai region, Ao Yu, the Dragon King of the Beihai Sea, had already adjusted the Beihai Sea army and formed a vast army of hundreds of millions of soldiers and horses to line up on the sea, blocking the way of the Heavenly Court vanguard army.
"Newspaper-" Bi Fangzheng rode on top of the heavenly horse to lead the vanguard army forward, and there were scouts who explored the way in front of him to ride a flying horse to report. "Report to the general, there are a large number of troops lined up on the sea about five thousand miles ahead, blocking the way of our army. "The Heavenly Court march is also like a mortal army scattered scouts, probing the military situation before and after, but because the Heavenly Soldiers are all cultivators and have mana, the scope of exploration is much larger, and they can often detect thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away.
"Huh?" Bi asked the scout who was reporting the incident, "Where did the army in front of you come from, and how many men and horses are there?"
"General Qiqi, the banner of the roadblock army is the naval army of the Beihai Dragon Clan, the troops are mighty and blocked on the sea, and they can't see the edge at all, and the villain can't tell how many soldiers and horses there are, but looking at the range of the queue, it is at least ten times more than the number of our vanguard army. ”
Bi Fangyi waved his hand and said, "Let's explore and report again." ”
"Yes. The soldier who reported the incident agreed, and rode away on a Pegasus.
"General, this Beihai Dragon Clan is such a big battle, it can actually pull out such a huge army. The golden-winged Dapeng who was following Bi Fang listened to the scout's report, and couldn't help but be amazed by the strength of the dragon clan.
The vulture, who was also following Bi Fang's side, smiled and said, "Your Highness Dapeng, what is this little battle. In the end, the battle at the foot of Qilin Mountain was the most spectacular, and the total number of soldiers and horses of the three clans involved in the war was tens of billions! Now that the dragon clan has declined, they can only scrape together such a little bit of money. "Vultures, like Bi Fang, were once the generals of the Feng Clan, and they have always respected Kong Xuan and the two princes of the Feng Clan.
"Vulture, how many times have I told you, now that the Feng clan has declined and gone into hiding, I am no longer a prince, and I have never been a prince, don't call me Your Highness again. There is only one His Royal Highness in our Demon Monarch Palace, and that is His Royal Highness the Demon Monarch. You must remember that the next time you call such an unruly name, be careful that I am in a hurry with you. The Golden-winged Roc shouted displeased.
Bi Fang heard the words and said: "Vulture, you and the White Stork Eagle Falcon are the same, don't call General Kong Xuan and General Dapeng as His Royal Highness in the future, now we are already subordinates of the Demon Monarch Palace, and calling the two of them His Royal Highness will inevitably have a bad impact, although His Royal Highness the Demon Monarch doesn't care about this, but who knows that there are no other good people who make a fuss about this matter? ”
"Yes, General. The vulture bowed in response.
Seeing this, Bi Fang nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look ahead, and muttered to himself: "Beihai Dragon Clan?
