"The Seventy-two Immortal Steles were left behind by the Great Hong Tian Empire. No one knows what they are used for. Wushuang City used to be a city of the Great Hong Tian Empire," Ah Da explained.
"So, the Great Hong Tian Empire placed the Seventy-two Immortal Steles in seventy-two different cities?" Zhong Shan immediately analyzed.
"That's right. For some reason, there is an Immortal Stele in the center of each of the seventy-two different cities. Wushuang City's Immortal Stele was used as a foundation. I really didn't expect that. "Ah Da shook his head and smiled.
"There's no such thing for no reason. It's just that we don't know what it is used for. The remaining Immortal Steles have been divided among the other dynasties, right?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Mister's analysis is always so accurate. The Seventy-two Immortal Steles were scattered around the world after the Great Hong Tian Empire was destroyed. Our Daluo Heaven Empire has collected fifteen of them, and they are all in the Immemorial Sacred Capital," Ah Da said.
"Have you found anything?" Zhong Shan asked.
"No, no one can find anything. Even the Emperor couldn't find anything strange about it. Of course, the main reason is that the Emperor didn't put too much effort into it. He left it all in the Ministry of Works and let the professionals study it. I once followed the Princess to see it, that's how I know about it," Ah Da said.
"You can't find anything?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"So far, there's no result. We only know that the Immortal Steles are very strong, but we can't detect them with our Divine Sense. We don't even know what they are made of. So, it's one of the problems that the Ministry of Works can't solve. If we want to find out what they are used for, we might have to collect all seventy-two Immortal Steles. However, it's basically impossible to collect all of them. "Ah Da smiled bitterly.
"Why?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Because these Immortal Steles are hidden in the hands of the major forces in the world. The Daluo Heaven Empire, the Dali Heaven Empire, the Taisui Heaven Empire, the Pure Land of Bliss, the Nether Heaven and other places all have them. Who can collect all of them?" Ah Da shook his head.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded. Although he only knew about it, he started to pay attention to it.
The Daluo Heaven Empire had fifteen Immortal Steles?
Ten days later. Wushuang City Lord's Mansion.
Zhong Shan sat on the commander's desk and looked at the two rows of generals.
"Liu Wushuang!" Zhong Shan shouted.
. "Liu Wushuang immediately replied..
"Now that the Wolf Cavalry has been formed, the next step is to train them. If they are as messy as before, they won't be able to display their full potential. We can't waste your innate advantage. In the following time, work hard to train the Wolf Cavalry. As for how to train them, you can ask the commander of the Tiger Cavalry. .. "Ah Da Wu ''s Army Army Army Army's...... army Liu Ying Yue''s
Ah! "immediately Liu Wuo '.
"Shui Wuhen!" Zhong Shan shouted.
"Here!" Shui Wuhen immediately replied.
"When I'm not around, guard Wu Shuang City well. Wu Shuang City is easy to defend and hard to attack, as long as you don't rush for quick success, it won't be taken away. Check the identities of those who enter and leave, no matter how many people there are, line up and check carefully." Zhong Shan said.
. "Yes!" Shui Wuhen replied.
"At the same time, you should train your troops more. They will be invincible during normal times, and only during wartime can they be invincible!" Zhong Shan said.
. "Yes!" Shui Wuhen replied.
"Shui Wuhen will be in charge of Wushuang City while I'm gone. Those who don't listen will be treated as rebels. "Zhong Shan said.
. "Yes!" The generals immediately shouted.
"Zhao Chuan!" Zhong Shan called.
"Yes!" Zhao Chuan immediately stepped forward.
"Take five Nascent Soul generals and prepare. Tomorrow morning, we will leave the city and begin investigating the twelve cities!" Zhong Shan ordered.
"Yes!" Zhao Chuan immediately replied.
Two months later.
Zhong Shan, Ah Da, Nian Youyou, Zhihuo, Zhao Chuan, and five Nascent Soul generals followed Zhong Shan south to investigate the terrain.
A total of ten people stopped at the peak of a mountain. Zhong Shan led them and looked into the distance.
"This time, I can't miss it. Last time, I only went out for a few days and the West Poison Emperor appeared! I didn't get to see the good show! "Nian Youyou complained to Zhong Shan.
Heh. Zhong Shan only smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he continued to look into the distance.
In the distance, dark clouds covered the sky. It was obvious that a heavy rain was about to fall. Under the countless dark clouds, there was a vast city.
The city was pitch-black. On the city walls, sharp spikes protruded, like a huge hedgehog. On the city tower, there were many figures. Some well-trained soldiers could be seen patrolling the city.
"What a strong city!" Zhong Shan sighed.
"That's right, Grand Marshal. This city is Linhai City No.1. The remaining eleven Linhai Cities are the same as it. They are all extremely difficult to break through. Unless there is internal chaos, it will take countless casualties to take down a city." Zhao Chuan explained.
"Internal chaos? Difficult! "Zhong Shan sighed as he stared into the distance.
Zhao Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes. The Great Yu Empire has entered a state of war alert. The city gates are basically closed. Only at a fixed time and after careful inspection will a group of people be allowed to enter."
"Zhao Chuan, how long do you think the Great Xuan Army would take to take down this city?" Zhong Shan asked.
Zhao Chuan thought for a moment and said, "That depends on the number of soldiers!"
"One million!" Zhong Shan smiled.
"One million? Impossible. This city is no weaker than Peerless City. One million is impossible to take down! "Zhao Chuan shook his head.
"What about four million?" Zhong Shan asked again.
"Four million? If we attack by force, it will take at least four months. Moreover, we will have to pay a heavy price. Our army will definitely suffer heavy losses. "Zhao Chuan thought for a moment and said.
"Four months? That can be opened. It's not an unbreakable city. "Zhong Shan comforted.
"Yes!" Zhao Chuan immediately replied.
"Sir, have you thought of a way?" Ah Da asked from the side.
"I'm not a god. How can I think of a way to take down such a difficult city so easily?" Zhong Shan shook his head.
Zhao Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Commander, can we ask the people for help like last time in Peerless City?"
"Last time was different from here. At that time, the people of Peerless City had their belongings stolen and were homeless. They were angry and motivated by huge benefits, so they took back their belongings and also got something that satisfied them. That's why we succeeded. However, hundreds of thousands of people died after the incident. Even if we asked them to do it again, they might not dare to do it again. It's even more so here. Outside sects? Forget about it. "Zhong Shan rejected Zhao Chuan's idea.
"How about we send people to infiltrate? Then work together from the inside? "Nian You smiled.
"The condition for working together from the inside is to be able to 'work' from the inside. Let's not talk about not being able to infiltrate. Even if a few infiltrate, so what? Isn't that the same as delivering food to the enemy? Even if an Ultimate Emperor Realm expert like you infiltrates, it'll be useless. An entire city's army will be targeting you. It doesn't matter how high your cultivation is. This is a battlefield, a battlefield of slaughter. An individual's strength won't be of much use unless you're strong enough to take on an entire city by yourself. Clearly, we haven't reached that stage yet. "Zhong Shan shook his head with a smile.
"If I infiltrate, I can capture and kill the enemy generals. Without a leader, they'll just be a pile of loose sand." Nian You was unconvinced.
"Most of the generals are experts. How could they be so easy to kill? Moreover, they're on high alert right now. They'll definitely be standing in the safest place with countless soldiers protecting them. As long as you can stall them for a little while, a large army will come after you. When that happens, you'll be in danger! "Zhong Shan shook his head in denial.
"Only you can do that!" Nian You said angrily. However, she looked at Zhong Shan with a strange gaze.
"Then what should we do, commander?" Zhao Chuan frowned.
"Observe for a while longer. At the same time, you'll be responsible for recording the surrounding terrain in detail. Also, send someone to find out what the quality of these guards are. "Zhong Shan thought for a moment and said.
"Understood!" Zhao Chuan immediately replied.
Another month later. Zhong Shan led nine people to investigate the remaining eleven cities.
Difficult! Extremely difficult! It was indeed too difficult to take down these twelve cities. Moreover, all the cities were on high alert. It was almost impossible to take them down quickly.
The twelve cities were all near the East Sea. There were very few sects in the vicinity. However, there were still a few small towns, truly low-level towns.
One afternoon, Zhong Shan led the group to a small town and found an inn to book.
"Commander, our scouts should be here soon!" Zhao Chuan said.
"Mm. Let the manager serve some special dishes. I haven't eaten in a long time. "Zhong Shan nodded.
"You're still in the mood to taste food? It's been almost three months and we haven't found anything. Aren't you worried? "Nian You looked at Zhong Shan strangely.
"What do I have to worry about? The twelve cities are so strong. I can't do anything about it. I can't change my life just because they're strong. Eat what you need to eat and drink what you need to drink. As a commander, mentality is the most important thing. "Zhong Shan smiled.
"Then we're just going to wait like this?" Nian You asked strangely.
The others also looked at Zhong Shan. After all, Zhong Shan's words determined the life and death of millions of people.
"It's better to wait for time to change than to use an egg to break a rock. Moreover, we only have a preliminary understanding of the twelve cities. We still need to know some of their history before we can make a long-term plan. Zhao Chuan, you're responsible for collecting all the historical records of the twelve cities and the grievances of the generals." Zhong Shan instructed Zhao Chuan.
"Yes!" Zhao Chuan immediately responded. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
