In the past few years, the Lost Soul Empire had been very peaceful. Therefore, everyone had relaxed. Discipline wasn't as good as before. In the past, the entire Lost Soul Empire was like a huge military camp. Everyone had their own duties, nobody dared to mess around.
Although the Lost Soul Empire wasn't like before, discipline was still there. Because of this, it wasn't a problem for everyone to line up.
In the beginning, Liu Ziyu and the others didn't notice this point. But slowly, they discovered this point. Because of this, their expressions turned solemn. The Mixed Spirit Continent could be considered to have carried out some military management. However, this was mostly done in the cities. Moreover, it was the cities that were easy to attack. The other cities weren't like this.
But in the Lost Soul Empire, it was different. Vegetable City didn't seem to be a place that would be attacked. But here, there was still discipline. This made people very surprised.
At this time, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Liu Ziyu and the others stared. Then they looked forward and were stunned. In the distant sky, a row of battleships was flying over. This row of battleships was densely packed. It was impossible to count how many of them there were. All of the battleships were lined up in a neat formation as they flew straight towards them.
Soon, the battleships became stronger and stronger. Seeing the shining silver hull and the ferocious ghost face on the battleships, everyone was shocked.
Most importantly, the battleships were lined up in a straight line. They were moving forward at an even speed. The mountain-like pressure that came from the battleships made them very surprised.
While Liu Ziyu and the others were in a daze, the battleship finally came to a stop. Then, the battleship turned around, from facing them to facing them from the side. The fleet was still in formation, passing by in front of them. Liu Ziyu and the others could even see the soldiers on the battleship. These soldiers were all wearing armor and had large swords on their backs. They stood there with a serious expression, showing their true colors.
The fleet slowly passed by everyone. Everyone couldn't help but cheer. Each and every one of them was crazy. On the other hand, the soldiers on the battleships didn't have any expression. However, there was a trace of pride in their eyes.
However, Liu Ziyu didn't pay attention to this. He was counting the battleships. He estimated that there were about 1500 battleships. This number really surprised him. He heard from Zhao Hai that this army was just a garrison of a Plant Master. How could he not be surprised when he saw so many battleships?
Zhao Hai didn't care about him. He just looked at the battleships and the soldiers on them. All of them were his subordinates. How could he not be happy? How could he not be excited? However, Zhao Hai didn't show his emotions.
After the battleships passed by, they began to move in front of everyone. Then the battleships began to change their formation. After the formation changed, sword boats flew out from the battleships. These sword boats flew straight forward. At the same time, the sword boats also formed a formation. These sword boats weaved back and forth without making any mistakes.
Then the sword boats and battleships were ordered to aim their weapons in one direction. Then all the energy cannons on the battleships were fired.
When the energy cannons fired, a small mountain disappeared. The people in Plant City once again cheered. On the other hand, Liu Ziming and the others' expressions changed. They didn't expect the battleships to have weapons. Moreover, these weapons were very powerful.
Old Wu and the others had seen Zhao Hai use the energy cannons on the sword boats to deal with the Five Spirit Realm's slave ships. But at that time, there was only one energy cannon. Therefore, although its power wasn't great, it wasn't very shocking. But now, it was different. With so many energy cannons firing at the same time, the might of the energy cannons was completely revealed. The mountain that was hit by the energy cannons wasn't small. However, it disappeared in an instant. It was as if the mountain was made of snow and was melted by the sun.
Afterward, the battleships carried out some drills. They scattered the shields and formations on the battleships. Although the people in the city had seen these things before, the first time the battleships showed them, they still attracted a lot of cheers. This made Liu Ziyu and the others even more shocked.
After the hill was destroyed, a large crater appeared on the ground. It was hard to say how big the crater was. But at this time, spring water gushed out from the bottom of the hill. Rivers flowed into the crater from all directions. Slowly, water began to fill the crater. From the looks of it, it wouldn't take long for the crater to turn into a lake.
At this moment, Liu Ziyu heard a person beside him say, "So they want to build a lake. Hahaha, no wonder. Some time ago, I heard those farmers in the city say that farming in the wild is good in everything except for the lack of water. Although there are rivers around, there aren't any large lakes to draw water from. Today, there is a lake. Hahaha, this is killing two birds with one stone. Your Majesty is wise!" After that person finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter. The others also laughed. Liu Ziyu was stunned when he heard this.
He really didn't know whether he should believe the words of those people or not. Even if he didn't believe them, there was clearly a huge pit here. And from the looks of it, this pit would turn into a lake sooner or later. This was exactly what those people were talking about.
However, Liu Ziyu had no way of believing his words. Could it be that such a large-scale martial arts exercise was just for the sake of building a large lake? Wasn't this a bit too childish?
Then the fleet arranged itself in a formation before slowly retreating. At this time, the cheers of the people reached its peak. It wasn't until the fleet disappeared that the people excitedly flew towards Plant City.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai and Liu Ziyu also flew towards Plant City. Before long, they returned to the courtyard. Along the way, no one spoke. They were still immersed in the previous matter. They didn't know what to say. Zhao Hai and Liu Ziyu flew towards Plant City.
After arriving at the courtyard, Zhao Hai let the others rest while he went to the living room with Liu Ziyu and Old Wu. After the two sat down, Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled, "How was it? Shocking, right? Hahaha, this is the first time I saw them perform. I was also shocked. "
Liu Ziyu looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, can I ask you a question? How many cities like Plant City are there in the Bewildered Soul Empire?"
Zhao Hai replied, "There are 12 Secret Realms here. There are 9 in the Spirit Weapon Realm. Naturally, these are just the large cities. There are also a lot of big cities in the Soul Realm. However, I don't know how many there are in the Soul Realm."
Liu Ziyu continued, "Do all the large cities have such a garrison? What's the number of troops? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "All the large cities have such a garrison. The number of troops should be about the same. Last time, I saw a martial arts performance in another mountain city. The number of battleships was about the same as here."
Liu Ziyu let out a long breath and said, "With such strength, it's just as Mister said. It's as easy as turning one's hand to take over the Mixed Spirit Continent. Not to mention the strength of the entire Bewildered Soul Empire, just the strength of Plant City's army is enough. If they really invade the Mixed Spirit Continent, then we wouldn't have the ability to resist."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's because of this that I don't dare tell anyone about my identity. This is because once the Lost Soul Empire knows about the Mixed Spirit Continent, then the continent would be finished. They would certainly invade. You should know that their invasion and our surrender are two different matters." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Old Wu, who had been silent all this time, said, "If they really invade, then we will certainly resist. When the time comes, how many people will be left in the Mixed Spirit Continent?"
Liu Ziyu nodded and said, "It seems like surrendering to them is the best choice. However, the Bewildered Soul Empire is so powerful. If we really surrender, then I'm afraid that we won't be valued. At that time, will they still allow us to govern ourselves? What if they don't allow us to govern ourselves? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I know a little about this. The Bewildered Soul Empire is very lenient towards those who take the initiative to surrender. Generally, they would allow them to govern themselves. Moreover, the two of you shouldn't forget that we aren't completely useless. Although we're strong, we shouldn't forget that we're not the only continent in the Five Spirit Realms. Surrendering to the Bewildered Soul Empire is tantamount to telling them that there's a new plane with several huge continents. This is a great merit. Do you think that the Bewildered Soul Empire will treat us well?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Liu Ziyu and Old Wu's eyes lit up. They didn't have any psychological burden about betraying the other five continents. They knew how the other five continents treated them. They wanted to see the other five continents die, so how could they have any psychological burden? Zhao Hai nodded. Liu Ziyu and Old Wu's eyes lit up.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled faintly, "We've finished watching the Martial Arts Exhibition. In the past few days, we've also finished looking at Vegetable City. Tomorrow, we'll go look at other places. There's no need to look at small places. Let's look at the other big cities in the Secret Realm. What do the two of you think?"
Liu Ziyu nodded and said, "Alright, we'll set off tomorrow. But if we go around like this, wouldn't we attract the attention of the Bewildered Soul Empire? What if we do attract their attention?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "They won't. There's no need to worry. There are a lot of people from the Bewildered Soul Empire going to other cities every day. They don't have the heart to care about that. Also, we're just going to look around the city, we're not going to spy on them. There's nothing wrong with that. I'll go get something to eat and then I'll tell everyone about it."
Liu Ziyu nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Mister." Zhao Hai nodded, then he stood up and walked outside. On the other hand, Liu Ziyu and Old Wu didn't get up. The two were still in the living room.
After Zhao Hai left, Liu Ziyu turned to Old Wu and said, "Old Wu, based on the current situation, joining the Bewildered Soul Empire is the best choice. Otherwise, if the Bewildered Soul Empire discovers us and sends troops, then we'll be finished. With the situation of the Mixed Spirit Continent, I'm afraid that even if we develop a few hundred people, we still wouldn't be able to compare to the Bewildered Soul Empire. Not to mention us, even the people from the other five continents wouldn't be able to compare to them."
Old Wu nodded and said, "Right, it's not only us, the people from the other continents wouldn't be able to match up to the Bewildered Soul Empire. They're really too strong. If we join them, then it would be a good thing for them. Their empire can expand while we can govern ourselves. Also, if we join the Bewildered Soul Empire, then even if the Mixed Spirit Continent can't have its own army, we can still join the army. With the support of the Bewildered Soul Empire, the suffering of the Mixed Spirit Continent would be over."
Liu Ziyu understood what Old Wu meant. They also heard from Zhao Hai that the Mixed Spirit Continent could be autonomous, but they couldn't have their own army. This was something that Liu Ziyu and the others were disgusted with. However, after seeing the Lost Soul Empire's military display, their disgust had completely disappeared. Compared to the Lost Soul Empire's army, the Mixed Spirit Continent's army simply couldn't be considered an army. If the two sides were to fight, then they would only be slaughtered. But if they joined the Lost Soul Empire, then they would be part of the empire's army. Later on, the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent would also be able to join the Lost Soul Empire's army. This was a good thing for them.
Old Wu let out a long breath, then he said, "When Mister Zhao Hai told us this, I didn't believe him. I thought that he was lying to us. How can there be such a powerful empire in this world? I thought that the Bewildered Soul Empire existed, but it's impossible for it to be this powerful. But now, it seems like I was wrong. The Bewildered Soul Empire is much more powerful than what Mister Zhao Hai said."
Liu Ziyu looked at Old Wu, then he suddenly whispered, "Old Wu, don't you think that Mister Zhao Hai is strange? He doesn't look like someone from the Five Spirit Realms. There are no plant masters in the Five Spirit Realms, but the Bewildered Soul Empire does. Moreover, isn't he too good to us Mixed Spirit Continent? This isn't the style of a Great Elder from the Five Spirit Realms. "
Old Wu looked at Liu Ziyu and said, "I understand what you mean. But even if Mister Zhao Hai is someone from the Bewildered Soul Empire, so what? Do we have a better method than joining the Bewildered Soul Empire? We don't. Moreover, if Mister Zhao Hai is really someone from the Bewildered Soul Empire, then we should be grateful to him. We should even be grateful to the Bewildered Soul Empire. This means that the Bewildered Soul Empire already knew about our existence, but they didn't make a move against us. They wanted to use a peaceful method to make us join the Bewildered Soul Empire. This might be because the Bewildered Soul Empire also has Mixed Spirit Continent members, but for us, this is a good thing, right? "
Liu Ziyu nodded and didn't say anything. However, he agreed with Old Wu's words. If this is the case, then they should really thank Zhao Hai.
