Just as he entered the tent, Zong Shou saw Kong Yao standing beside the map, frowning as she looked at it.
She was so focused that even when Zong Shou entered, she didn't notice.
Zong Shou smiled when he saw that. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he was startled. He only felt that the current Kong Yao was really fresh and cute, her cheeks flushed red and it tugged at his heartstrings.
His nose sniffed and he could smell a faint fragrance.
Two words flashed across his mind. A beauty like jade, a lotus flower out of the water!
He then smelled his body. After grade-7, his body had been refined and was extremely clean.
However, he couldn't drop a single feather and add a single speck of dust. However, after these few months of intense battles, he didn't have time to think about other things. At this moment, there was a sour and bloody smell on his body that was really unpleasant.
He instantly scoffed as Zong Shou shook his head. In the end, she was a woman. Even if she was a future top commander, she couldn't be as careless as a man and bear with such a smell.
However, this body fragrance was really nice to smell.
Standing beside the map, Zong Shou's nose twitched as he took in a deep breath. At this moment, Kong Yao finally noticed his arrival. Her face instantly flushed red.
"Just now, I took the time to make a trip to Jiluo Lake. Ruler, don't worry, everything has been arranged … "
Jiluo Lake?
Zong Shou didn't understand. Why was Kong Yao telling him all this? Did she have to report to him where she bathed?
In the next instant, he suddenly thought about it. Wasn't this Jiluo Lake near Seven Cloud Mountain? Roughly 2,000 miles away, it was a huge lake that had 300,000 people from north to south.
When he heard the last sentence, his heart jumped.
Has everything been arranged properly? What needed to be arranged?
Speaking of which, during these days, if he wasn't fighting with Prince Jia Mingluo, he was in secluded meditation to heal up.
As for how Kong Yao used troops and how she planned to defeat the enemy, he didn't bother much about it.
He looked at Kong Yao with a questioning gaze, but she lowered her head again, not intending to continue paying attention to him.
Zong Shou was speechless. What was he trying to do? Or was this a test for him, the monarch?
Suddenly, a few footsteps were heard as he walked out of the tent with a majestic gait.
Looking up at the sky, he saw balls of light shining down from the eastern horizon.
The entire Seven Cloud Mountain was enveloped in the seven-colored light. It added a dreamy feeling to this bloody and oppressive battlefield.
Startled, Zong Shou seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, his laughter shook the heavens, filled with endless joy.
The worries in his heart were all gone, and he felt incomparably comfortable and fortunate. He felt that the wisest thing he had done in his life was to poach Kong Yao to his side.
He suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with anticipation as he said, "So, this battle is already decided?"
"Not necessarily!"
Kong Yao shook her head, "It still depends on whether or not you and I can force these Night Demons to fight in the day. It is best if it is noon … "
Zong Shou laughed and looked down the mountain. Only to see those Night Demons retreating like a flood, entering a camp covered in black mist.
It was like that every day. A few days ago, Kong Yao had also tried to counterattack during the day. Unfortunately, not only were these Night Demons unaffected by the black fog, their strength had even increased by 30%.
Since her attempt didn't work, Kong Yao decisively gave up, only defending those stone castles.
To force these Night Demons to fight to the death in the day, unless they were really at their wits' end …
Squinting his eyes, Zong Shou's expression returned to normal. Although he was still excited, it slowly calmed down.
As expected, he couldn't be careless in this battle.
However, his heart wasn't as tense as before. Although the situation was perilous, there was still hope.
If they could win this battle, then they would be able to kill a million and settle the entire situation!
Taking in a deep breath, Zong Shou mocked himself, "It isn't easy for you, what plans do you have?"
Kong Yao smiled and didn't reply, passing a few message talismans over.
Zong Shou took them in his hands and moments later, his brow rose up.
One of them came from Zong Gang. What was written within was that the battle in the west had ended in a huge victory.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Ren Tianxing would start to gather carriages and all the Grade Two mounts in Huizhou. It is estimated that by tonight, they would be able to send 150 thousand elite cavalry and 200 thousand elite infantry to reinforce Seven Cloud Mountain.
Within 3 days, there would be 2 million people who would be able to set off.
Zong Shou calculated. If that was true, the 350 thousand troops would be able to rush back to Seven Cloud Mountain in 3 days.
For the current battle situation, it was like sending charcoal in the snow.
No wonder Kong Yao was so confident.
The second message talisman came from Admiral Gu Liekong. The rough idea was that although the situation was tough and they suffered heavy losses, they could still restrict the few Spaceships of the Night Demon Race. However, the time was only limited to a month.
Only the last piece of news made Zong Shou frown. Gu Liekong actually made the decision to give Shi Ruolan a few five-tooth turreted ships.
He wanted her to stay by Gu Liekong's side. However, the goal was to let Shi Ruolan learn some experience. He didn't expect her to lead troops now.
What was going on with this Gu Liekong?
However, he suppressed the worry in his heart. Gu Liekong wasn't a rash person. He definitely had his reasons for doing such things. He definitely wouldn't be so careless just to suck up to the Ruler.
Following which, he started to calculate. At this moment, even if the Night Demon Race wasn't at the end of their rope, they were pretty far away.
A month should be enough. Unable to use those Spaceships to pillage and unable to find a way in the Cloud Ocean, the Night Demons could only turn their attention to land. They could only fight to the death with him here!
However, this was far from enough!
In the next moment, he saw Kong Yao point at Yitu Mountain.
"I am afraid that the surrendered troops are unsettled. Even if it is for their home, they might not be able to fight to the death. Which is why I want to destroy this place in seven days. Does Ruler think that is possible? "
Sōmorime's eyes shrunk. Where Kong Yao was pointing at was beside Seven Cloud Mountain, the path that led to the core of Huizhou.
If this path was cut off, then the retreat path of the millions of troops here would be totally cut off!
Was she trying to live from the brink of death?
With a thought, Zong Shou laughed out loud.
Why not? During the Cloud Desolate Era, there were battles with their backs to the river and there were battles with all their means of retreat.
Ten thousand years later, couldn't Zong Shou fight with his back to the mountain?
"Speaking of which, Kong Yao, you predicted that the date of the final battle would be seven days later?"
Kong Yao hesitated slightly and then nodded, "That's right!"
"Then we will do as you say!"
Zong Shouxin was stunned for a moment before he picked up the last message talisman.
This one came from Gantian Mountain's Renbo. He said that the Taishang had sent an envoy to ask him about killing Weihai and snatching his army.
He couldn't help but scoff coldly as he looked towards the east.
Since the Night Demons invaded, Kong Yao had led the army on his behalf. In three months, they had fought over thirty battles, going against two million Night Demons. Although they were forced back, they didn't scatter.
At this moment, even a blind person could see that Kong Yao had the ability to lead an army.
Although she followed the rules, she took care of all aspects. She coordinated the troops and didn't make any mistakes. She managed the entire Huizhou war situation and was still really calm.
She wasn't leading tens of thousands of troops to charge and break through enemy lines. She was leading millions of people to attack and destroy countries!
Although she was still a little rusty, the future Army God was starting to take shape.
In the future, she would be a giant pillar that could support a country.
Who knows if the Taishang Emperor City person who personally handed Kong Yao to him regretted it?
He was probably going to spit out blood …
With a "Heh", Zong Shou smiled in delight and shattered the message talisman.
To him, these questions were neither painful nor itchy. He just needed to send some gifts and send an envoy to apologize after this battle. It would give them a way out and he would be able to turn this storm into nothing.
It wasn't that he looked down on them, but that the Zhongyuan Emperor Dynasty had always been like this. If they were helpless, they would just calm them down.
He also saw through Emperor Yuanchen and knew that he needed to calm down.
There were many aristocratic families in the country and the prophecy said that the God Emperor would appear. Why would this Saint Ruler come to find trouble with him at such a time?
At the end of the message talisman, it mentioned that Donglin Cloud Continent had been in chaos recently. Some City Lords were really restless. Some people of unknown identities were running all about.
However, these people were much smarter now. Before the situation was settled, they wouldn't raise the flag of rebellion.
With Gantian Mountain and three million elites suppressing, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
Ruoshui had mentioned this matter to him not long ago which was why he wasn't shocked.
At such a stage, even those close to him wouldn't have high hopes for him.
Common People's Vast Habitat and the Three Sects and Six Schools had sent him letters several times asking if he needed help.
His friends and family were like that.
Much less these enemies in the dark?
They were probably thinking that even if Zong Shou could safely retreat from Huizhou, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou looked coldly at the map.
Seven days later? Let's see who wins and loses seven days later.
Who would be in charge of the east of the Cloud World?
※ ※ ※
15 minutes ago, just as Zong Shou landed from the sky and returned to Seven Cloud Peak.
Hu Zhongyuan stood at the highest point of a broken castle and looked up.
Seeing that body land safely, he retracted his gaze.
Then, he scolded out, "That Jia Mingluo really doesn't know when to stop!"
They knew that Zong Shou's safety was at stake and they couldn't make any mistakes.
However, he couldn't interfere at all in the battle between the two of them. He also knew that Zong Shou was using his own strength to protect this place, close to a million troops. He didn't allow Jia Mingluo to do whatever he wanted.
It was just that every time there was a fierce battle in the sky, it made him feel anxious.
He couldn't help but feel dejected. His talents were still a little too weak and he couldn't help Zong Shou.
Chai Zhou beside him didn't think so much, "With Zong Yuan supporting us, why do we need to worry?"
He looked outside of the castle. Although the Night Demon Army had retreated, there were many injured soldiers. Under the threat of the crossbows, they weren't able to save them.
Chai Zhou's eyes instantly turned sharp, "How should we deal with the people outside?" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
