Weihai laughed silently and didn't say a word. How was this Kong Yao as bad as this young general made her out to be?
This woman wasn't a rare general talent, but she wasn't a mediocre general either. She would win every battle, at most she was a little more stable. Each time she fought with the barbarians north of Taishang, she had to gather the troops under her to use numbers to bully them.
Although she used up a lot of resources, if she had such subordinates, she could be at ease and use them to take charge of an area.
What this world lacked the most was this kind of talent.
At this moment, he didn't have any intention to argue on behalf of Kong Yao. He also felt that the Gantian Mountain Ruler was too preposterous and frivolous.
Rumors had it that this person was lustful, and that was true.
These young people who were famous might have some ability. However, most of them were like that. With some achievements, they would be delighted and arrogant. Most of the time, those who rose up quickly would also fall down in the same way.
Thinking about that, Weihai turned around, his expression turning solemn as he looked over coldly, "Today, this Zong Shou left in a fit of anger. Whether or not Gantian Mountain can send reinforcements is another matter. Kong Xuan, you should know that we can only win and not lose this battle … "
Kong Xuan's brow turned cold, bowing respectfully, "I am 100% confident! I will be able to force back the Night Demon Race within half a month. "
While he spoke, he didn't have the arrogance from before. He also didn't care about the few Huizhou Island City Lords at the side.
The few of them looked down like they didn't hear anything and didn't speak. One or two of them had joy in their eyes.
Only those three Taoists were like statues, not reacting at all.
Wei Hai chuckled, but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the faintly discernible piece of land a few hundred miles to the east.
"My life's goal is to help our Taishang open up new land. A man should immediately become famous. If I can't become a Marquis, I will die on the battlefield. If I can open up these ten provinces for our Taishang, I can smile after I die … "
Kong Xuan bowed once more and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise, you are fair in your rewards and punishments. If we can win this battle, the Imperial Court won't be stingy with Marquis rewards! "
Weihai looked expressionlessly at him and smiled. He didn't have any reaction, but his eyes were slightly gentle.
"I know that you are good at the art of war and think highly of yourself which is why you are so arrogant and unrestrained. It is okay for a young man to have a temper, I can accept it. I also know that you have some grievances with that Kong Yao. However, the Gantian army was personally invited by his majesty. If we can win, we can be of help. If we can't defend this place we can't, we can also help to cause to do so. At this time, it's best not to offend him too much. You should be careful with your words! His Majesty's His's's's't't't '''t to follow.
His tone was dark and cold, causing Kong Xuan to break out in cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "I don't dare!"
Wei Hai nodded his head. After this beating, it was time to appease him, "We will need your help in this battle. If we succeed, we will be able to do so. I, Wei Hai, will definitely help you ascend to the position of general! "
After all, Kong Xuan was a little shrewd. Although he felt it in his heart, he didn't show it.
Following which, Weihai said in deep thought, "If Gantian Mountain sends troops over, we can't treat them too badly. If there are Gantian Mountain Blood Cloud Cavalry, it will be a great help. You can prepare grain for 100,000 and send it over when the time comes … "
These words were said for the people behind him to hear. The few Huizhou City Lords all bowed and acknowledged. His expression didn't reveal much of a troubled expression. Instead, it was filled with gratitude.
Not to mention 100,000, even if a million elite troops came, with the wealth of Huizhou, they would be able to support them.
Since the guest army came, they should provide for them.
Weihai didn't ask for much, obviously wanting to protect them. Originally, when they heard that Donglin was about to send troops over, they were a little worried. Now, they could finally be at ease.
Commander Weihai's kindness really made them respect him.
※ ※ ※
Just as Weihai, Kong Xuan, and the others were discussing. Zong Shou was in the Royal Demon God Shuttle and asked the few girls beside him curiously.
"Why are you coming down for no reason?"
Ruoshui was more obedient and knew that he just needed to stay for a while before leaving. She just stayed on the boat and didn't come down.
Kong Yao's eyes were changing, her thoughts were really complicated, "Just now, I looked at Lianyun Island and the formation seems a little inappropriate. There are many weaknesses between the towers. Moreover, there seems to be a formation on these islands … "
Kong Yao didn't need to say that. Zong Shou could roughly sense it.
There were some places where the strength was a little weak.
If they wanted it, it would be because they lacked money. A hundred Nine Arm Spiritual Crossbows were Grade-9 Spiritual Artifacts. The crossbows and arrows that were equipped with them, as compared to those Grade-9 Beast Crystals, even if they weren't as expensive, they still weren't cheap.
It was obvious that they arranged it like that to save money.
Zhao Yanran looked at Jingyin and didn't say anything. Although she didn't say anything, her expression was obviously saying that she followed this nun down the boat.
Jingyin wrinkled her nose and said weirdly, "What a thick blood stench on the island!"
Zong Shou was startled and looked at Jingyin.
Blood stench? He was used to it. Which place where there were wars and killing wasn't like that?
However, thinking about it now, the blood stench at that time was a little thicker.
"Speaking of which, this matter is really weird. The Taishang envoy rushed us so urgently, but this Weihai acted like nothing had happened … "
As Zhao Yanran said that, she took in a deep breath before hesitantly adding, "He is really confident!"
Her tone was really firm and filled with certainty.
That was the feeling that Weihai gave people. Like he didn't care about the dangerous situation in front of him.
The Night Demon Race could be wiped out with a flick of his finger. He didn't reject their arrival, but he didn't care.
Zong Shou smiled, he felt the same way.
Weihai's actions today were probably to let Zong Shou know that he shouldn't think too highly of himself. Naturally, Gantian Mountain shouldn't think about getting too many benefits from coming to Huizhou.
It was like they already treated Huizhou Island as theirs.
Actually, if that was the case, it would be for the best. Gantian Mountain wouldn't need to waste resources to interfere in this matter.
However, for some reason, he felt a little worried.
However, compared to this matter, he was more worried about Kong Yao. Looking out, he saw that her face was totally devoid of blood.
He immediately felt even more guilty. When he heard that person's words, he really had the impulse to take that person's head off on the spot.
However, he was worried about what Kong Yao would think, which was why he didn't attack.
Although he knew that decades later, the Kong Family would betray Kong Yao. However, Kong Yao herself wouldn't know …
He couldn't directly tell Kong Yao that most of her race members weren't reliable.
All of a sudden, his heart was in a mess. Maybe he shouldn't have used such despicable methods on this woman?
He also found it weird. What was going on with him, why did he suddenly become so soft-hearted?
This didn't seem like his personality …
Even if he wasn't as vicious as those heroes, Zong Shou knew that he definitely wasn't a merciful person!
In the next instance, Kong Yao suddenly bowed towards him, "Can husband let me return to the army? I know that my ability to lead troops is far from Qiu Tingzhu and General Zong Yuan and can't enter your eyes. However, in Donglin Cloud, there are less than ten people who can beat Kong Yao in terms of military strategy. Even if you can only lead a small army in Gantian Mountain … "
Zong Shou's brows rose up in shock as he looked over carefully. He saw that Kong Yao's face was filled with seriousness.
How did this happen?
This situation was out of his expectations.
Her voice was actually filled with pleading. This was the first time she called him husband.
… What was going on?
Looking closely at Kong Yao, he saw that her brows were filled with violent energy.
Comprehending something, Zong Shou took in a deep breath before shaking his head, "If you want to fight with me because of what that person said, I won't give up. However, I Zong Shou can't be at ease. Even if it's a single soldier, I won't give you … "
Kong Yao was startled, looking weirdly at Zong Shou before her expression calmed down. This time she thought about it for a long time before opening her mouth once more, "Kong Yao's actions aren't just because of what Kong Xuan said. I was born like this and loved to fight and kill. When I was young, I wanted to hold a three-foot sword and sweep the battlefield. My race members all say that Kong Yao is a jinx, maybe they are right. Can husband give me a chance … "
Her voice was really calm, but it was filled with an unshakable determination.
Zong Shou's brows were tightly furrowed and knew that Kong Yao wasn't speaking the truth. There had to be a reason for her actions today.
However, since this woman didn't want to say, then he didn't need to ask.
"Let's talk about this matter in the future!"
He waved his hand, not agreeing nor rejecting. Zong Shou looked away, acting like he was fully focused as he drove the Royal Demon Shuttle. He directly tore open the void and entered the space layer outside of the Cloud World.
This place was filled with numerous black cracks that wreaked havoc all around. However, with the Royal Demon Shuttle, he didn't need to worry.
Although this item was a Grade Two Magical Artifact, the material it was made of was a Celestial Artifact. After taking a few hits head-on, he found a narrow spiritual river and escaped into it.
Kong Yao's body laid on the ground. Zong Shou didn't reply for a long time before she stood up.
Her face was still calm, but her eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment. Her aura was also really sad.
Xuan Yunlan couldn't take it anymore, but she didn't know how to persuade him. Zhao Yanran laughed coldly. She knew that the more Zong Shou acted like that, the more he paid attention to Kong Yao.
She really didn't know what was so good about this woman to make Zong Shou spend so much effort on her.
Moments later, she didn't bother about it anymore, turning her eyes to look outside of the shuttle.
"This is the Night Demon?"
Only to see one or two people pass by in the spiritual river.
Their bodies and appearances were similar to humans, but their skin was black. If they hid in the night, without a certain level of cultivation, one wouldn't be able to notice them. They had a pair of bat wings on their back, not looking like the green face and fangs of the legends. However, his appearance was indeed extremely ugly.
At this moment, even Kong Yao's eyes were attracted over. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
