Brushing his shoulder, Zong Shou's face was filled with helplessness.
Such a situation had already lasted for several days. His entire person had become a human-shaped electric baton that people couldn't get close to. Normal clothing on his body would instantly be torn to shreds. Who knows when he would be able to change.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that relying on this grade 10 saint spirit level body training technique. His physical strength had increased from 100,000 jin to 150,000 jin, far surpassing the strength of an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.
If it was along with the true qi in his body, he didn't even need to use martial path intent to go head to head with a 4 meridian martial ancestor and not lose.
And at this moment, he wasn't the only one who was suffering from such torture.
Turning around and looking back, only to see Zong Yuan standing on the ground with a green and white face. From time to time, clear electric arcs would flash across his body, blasting everything around him into smithereens.
This fellow was even more tragic than him, totally unable to control the lightning around him. Such that he couldn't even carry the dragon horned winged horse. He could only rely on walking to follow him to Rainbow City.
His heart slightly calming down, Zong Shou smiled, retracting his attention and looking forward, "Since you said that it isn't weaker than Taoyun City, then it isn't? What are the chances of our Gantian Mountain squadron going all out against Taoyun City? "
The person who spoke beside him was called Gu Liekong, 8 meridian Xuanwu. He was the navy commander of Gantian Mountain City. The commander of all the 400 cloud ships of Gantian Mountain.
He was basically a really intelligent person who knew how to deal with the world. Zong Shi and Zong Yang stayed out of the fight for power, protecting themselves.
When he returned to Gantian Mountain that night and suppressed Ling Fakong, Chai Yuan and the others, this person was the first to come over without hesitation and support him.
There weren't many Xuanwu experts in Gantian Mountain City who were good at cloud ocean ship battles. With this contribution, Zong Shou could only rely on him and increase his trust. During this cloud ocean hunt, this person was a key person.
At this moment, this navy commander's brows furrowed slightly before he shook his head without hesitation, "We have no chance of winning at all! Although the Xiantian Ruler went all out to build this squadron, the Xiantian Ruler did his best to build this squadron. However, Gantian Mountain rose up less than ten years ago, and their foundations were far from that. Taoyun City, on the other hand, had been accumulating for generations and had already stood tall in the Donglin Western Region for more than sixty years. Not only were the people under his rule flourishing with martial arts, but almost everyone could pilot and steer a boat. Just the number of ships docked outside the city alone numbered 30,000. Some only needed to be slightly modified to become cloud ships that could be used on the battlefield. If we really want to fight, the navy strength of Taoyun City is twice that of our Gantian Mountain. In just a few months, he can gather six times the number of cloud ships of our Gantian Mountain. Along with the subordinate cities, it wasn't something Gantian Mountain could defend against. If Ruler has such thoughts, it's best if you dispel them as soon as possible … "
Zong Shou immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He knew that this Taoyun City was an isolated place in the sea. Hence, the navy was flourishing.
However, what Gu Liekong said was far more frightening than the data he had seen in the dossiers over the past few days.
The small thought that originally appeared in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
Such a giant being, Zong Weiran was actually able to use a newly built navy to go up against it for ten years and not be at a disadvantage. It caused the navy of Gantian Mountain to develop step by step to such a scale. It was pretty much a miracle.
Luckily, based on what he knew, the many hidden sects of Gantian Mountain all encouraged the powers of the cities to head to the cloud ocean to slaughter beasts and demons. They all tried their best to protect the squadrons that headed to the hunt.
At this moment, at least on the surface, Taoyun City wouldn't be enemies with Gantian Mountain.
However, who knew what methods they would use in the dark.
Renbo warned that this time Taoyun City might join hands with Blazing Flame Mountain City and Yunxia Mountain City to stop their trip to the cloud ocean. Most probably, it wasn't just a guess, but he had some confidence.
If that was the case, and he guessed correctly, then it would be a huge headache.
Since he had become the ruler of a country, then he had to let the powers under him have enough to eat and not starve. He could obtain enough beast crystals to feed his subordinates.
If he returned empty-handed from this hunt, the entire power map of Gantian Mountain would instantly fall apart.
Sighing to himself, Zong Shou's face was still filled with a smile, his expression didn't change, "I was just casually asking, there's no need to take it seriously."
Seeing Gu Liekong and the navy generals around him heave a sigh of relief, Zong Shou sighed. Zong Shou's brows furrowed once more, "How many cloud ships will the cities under my Gantian Mountain send this time? How many men? "
"There should be less than two hundred, and only a hundred thousand soldiers that can fight …"
Gu Liekong's face was filled with rage, "If it was in the past, it would be at least a thousand! Since the ruler took over, he either went back on his words or tried to avoid it. How despicable. "
Zong Shou's brows rose up and he understood. The number of ships sent by these subordinate cities was less than a fifth of the previous years. They were obviously trying to preserve their strength, a typical case of a ruler doubting his country. He couldn't help but tease himself, "It seems like I was wrong. If it was Zong Shi, even if he didn't have a thousand ships, he would be able to gather eight hundred right? "
When Gu Liekong heard that, his face was filled with panic, half kneeling, "Why does the ruler say that? I don't know how to speak, so please don't be offended. That day, we witnessed Monarch's wisdom and wisdom with our own eyes. Zong Shi might be smart, but in terms of talent, he can't be compared to the ruler. These people have eyes but don't see, there will be a time when they regret it! "
Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, waving his sleeves to tell Gu Liekong to get up.
He had expected this which was why he didn't care. He didn't hate or feel annoyed at these subordinate powers.
At his age, along with the rumors from before, it was no wonder that these people would have doubts and wanted to preserve their strength.
However, that was good too, even to say that such a situation was exactly what he wanted. The number of subordinate ships following him was less, which meant that the beast crystals and mind stones he would get would be less.
450 cloud ships, along with the Xuan Mountain City squadron, he would be able to gather a thousand, which was more or less enough for this trip.
Thinking about that, Zong Shou's mood turned for the better, a smile appearing on his face. Following which he saw a group of people hurrying over.
The one at the helm was Renbo. For some reason, his face was green, extremely ugly. Apart from the dozens of guards behind him, there was a group of people beside him. Looking at their clothing, they weren't from Gantian Mountain.
When he arrived in front of Zong Shou, after bowing, he pointed to the person beside him, "This is the envoy from Taoyun City of the West Ocean. He is here on orders from the city lord to greet the ruler."
Zong Shou's eyes instantly squinted. A sharp glow appeared in his eyes as he looked beside Renbo.
This person was wearing a red robe, like the official uniform of the central dynasty. There was a cloud goose pattern embroidered on his chest, looking really arrogant.
He didn't bow, first sizing up Zong Shou before he bowed, "Foreign official Lin Ji greets City lord Zong Shou!"
Rage appeared in the eyes of the surrounding people. Their eyes were filled with killing intent as they sized up this Lin Ji. Zong Yuan directly held his sword and stepped forwards. A sharp intent faintly pressed down.
However, Lin Ji didn't seem to care at all. His expression was indifferent and calm. Going head on against Zong Yuan, he wasn't at a disadvantage at all.
Zong Shou laughed, not willing to bother with this fellow. He directly turned around and left, leaving the bunch of Taoyun City envoys behind him.
At the start, Lin Ji didn't care. Until Zong Shou's body slowly walked further and further away, he had no intentions of turning back. Only then did his eyes constrict, saying loudly, "Lin Ji is here on orders from my king to tell the city lord. 10 days ago, my Taoyun City, Blazing Flame City, and Yunxia City have made an agreement to work together to descend the cloud ocean. If Gantian Mountain wants to work together, you can give up half of Xiyun Province for the 3 of us to split! "
The corner of Zong Shou's lips twitched. Today, he finally understood what it meant to be greedy, what it meant to overestimate one's strength. This extortion was really loud, just empty words and wanting to take half of his province.
He was too lazy to even scold them, his footsteps still not stopping as he walked into the distance.
However, Lin Ji behind him still didn't give up, scoffing coldly, "I advise City lord Zong Shou to think thrice. Giving up half a province is better than Gantian Mountain City being wiped out! City lord can bear to see Monster king Weiran's foundations being wiped out just like that? "
Hearing those words, Zong Shou's brows furrowed. He didn't care much about other things, but those words really infuriated him.
Gritting his teeth, Zong Shou turned around and smiled brightly. Just as Lin Ji's eyes were filled with mocking intent, Zong Shou's face turned serious, "Throw all these fellows out of the city naked. If they resist, kill them right away! Remember, you must be completely naked! "
Lin Ji and the bunch of Taoyun City envoys' faces instantly turned ashen white. Zong Yuan smiled, casually holding the purple lightning spear in his hand. After Gu Liekong was slightly startled, he didn't hesitate and stepped forwards, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Zong Shou was too lazy to bother about the matters behind him, turning around and looking at Renbo who followed beside him, "Prime minister, are the resources prepared and can we set off?"
"I didn't let the ruler down. 13 million crossbow arrows, 4 months of food for 200 thousand troops, 100 thousand sets of armor and weapons, 400 merchant ships with floating spiritual formations. There are also 300 three arm spiritual crossbows that the ruler brought back. In just 5 days, they can be loaded onto the 20 five tooth cloud ships! There are also 8000 grade 2 fire lightning arrows and 6000 intense ice arrows ordered from Kongqi Sect. They are rushing over and will arrive in 5 days. They are all large-sized arrows that can be used for the three arm spiritual crossbows. However, the attitude of the Kongqi Sect outer sect manager is really weird, like he hates the ruler a lot. I think that the quality of these arrows won't be too good. "
Renbo said as he took out a list and passed it to Zong Shou. Following which he persuaded, "Although Taoyun City isn't as strong as our Gantian Mountain. However, there are numerous cloud ships and they dominate the cloud ocean. Even if the prince doesn't like them, you don't need to offend them too much … " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
