"Let's hear it!" Zhong Shan smiled at Zhao Chuan.
"Our army can be considered as the first line. The army under General Shui Jing's command has been slowly strengthening, so it can be considered as the second line. Although General Golden Cicada's fighting style is strange, it can still be considered as the first line. The only one left standing is General Xiang Bu, the commander of the Daluo Celestial Empire's Sixth Legion. The other two lines have been defeated and have been absorbed by General Xiang Bu, "Zhao Chuan said.
"Hmm, how's the strength of each line?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Xiang Bu has the most soldiers out of the four lines, about three million. General Shui Jing has 1.5 million, and General Golden Cicada also has 1.5 million. As for our army, we only have about nine hundred thousand! We have the least numbers, but in terms of strength, we aren't weak at all, "Zhao Chuan analyzed.
"It's been two years. Aside from Baihuang City, our army has only taken down three cities. Xiao Wang's army is indeed powerful!" Zhong Shan nodded with a frown.
"In these two years, aside from General Golden Cicada who has taken down three cities, General Shui Jing and General Xiang Bu have only taken down two cities each. It's already a great victory for us! "Zhao Chuan smiled.
"Among the four lines, why does General Golden Cicada's army have the least losses?" Zhong Shan stared at Zhao Chuan.
"Rumor has it that General Golden Cicada's military Dharma has reformed the enemy," Zhao Chuan said.
"Reformed? It's a decapitation operation, isn't it? General Golden Cicada's line isn't for war, but for him to accumulate merit. With the Almighty Heavenly Dragon by his side, he can behead the enemy's commander at any time. What he needs to do is to contend with the will of the heavens and put himself in a situation where he can save the people in distress. Then, he can lead them to steal the merit of the heavens and earth. As expected of someone from the Pure Land of Bliss, he can actually reach such a subtle state on how to obtain merit. "Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
"Commander, you're saying that General Golden Cicada went to the Immemorial Sacred Capital for the imperial examination and was chosen to lead the army. His goal is to see the war between the Daluo Celestial Empire and gain merit?" Zhao Chuan asked in shock.
"From all the signs, that's his goal." Zhong Shan nodded with a frown.
"Commander, the army's pay and provisions have been reported," Shui Wuhen suddenly said.
"You don't have many spirit stones left?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes, there are still one million Spirit Stones, but compared to our army, it is too little!" Shui Wuhen said.
"Haha, don't worry. The pay and provisions will arrive tomorrow," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Although Shui Wuhen was doubtful, she still believed in Zhong Shan.
Two years ago, after Daye City had been plundered, everything had been handed over to Zhong Shan. As for Zhong Shan, he had also quickly transferred it to the Darong Chamber of Commerce. The Darong Chamber of Commerce was responsible for converting most of it into spirit stones. Now that two years had passed, it was about time for the spirit stones to arrive.
Through this batch of resources, the Darong Chamber of Commerce developed rapidly.
"Report ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall. Then, a soldier quickly ran in.
He knelt down on one knee before Zhong Shan and said, "Marshal, outside Bai Huang City, there are two people who claim to be Golden Cicada and Almighty Heavenly Dragon. They request to see you!"
"Hu ~ ~ ~ ~"
Zhong Shan stood up and furrowed his brows. Golden Cicada? Almighty Heavenly Dragon? Why were they here?
"Lead the way!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" The soldier immediately said.
The generals were also surprised. Golden Cicada? Why was General Golden Cicada here?
Outside the southern city gate, Golden Cicada was dressed in a scholar's robe. He stood quietly in an open space with Almighty Heavenly Dragon behind him.
Along the way, Zhong Shan had already seen the projection of the two in the memory crystal. Naturally, he recognized them at a glance.
Leading the generals, Zhong Shan quickly left the city.
"General Golden Cicada, what brings you to my small city?" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Greetings to Dongfang Hou!" Golden Cicada said politely.
"Please come in!" Zhong Shan waved his hand and invited him in.
As for Almighty Heavenly Dragon, although he was a peerless expert, his current position was that of Golden Cicada's subordinate. Thus, it was enough to receive this master.
"Please!" Golden Cicada said with a smile.
Then, the crowd entered the White Royal City in a mighty manner.
In a pavilion in the Governor's Mansion of the White Royal City.
On two long tables, there were some fine wine and delicacies.
Zhong Shan and Golden Cicada knelt in front of the two tables, facing each other.
Almighty Heavenly Dragon, Ah Da, Zhi Huo, and the generals were waiting patiently outside the pavilion.
"General Golden Cicada, please!" Zhong Shan raised a cup of wine and toasted him.
"Dongfang Hou, please!" Golden Cicada said with a smile.
"I wonder why General Golden Cicada has come to my small city today?" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Dongfang Hou, you have great momentum wherever you go. In five months, you have conquered twelve cities by the sea of Great Yu. In the Daguang Territory, you have conquered Daye City and White Royal City within a month. In the past two years, you have conquered three more cities. I am impressed by your unparalleled achievements!" Golden Cicada said with a smile.
"It's just luck. General Golden Cicada, you flatter me!" Zhong Shan said with a shake of his head. At the same time, he stared at Golden Cicada. He did not know what his purpose was.
"General Golden Cicada is also praised for leading the army. The number of casualties in conquering a city is also the lowest since ancient times. You command the army like a god! With General Golden Immortal, why worry about conquering Daguang? "Zhong Shan praised him in return.
Although he did not know what Golden Cicada's purpose was, he was just trying to smooth things over. Who wouldn't know how to do that?
"Dongfang Hou, you flatter me. I think you can see the purpose of my attack?" Golden Cicada felt that Zhong Shan was difficult to deal with, so it was better to get back to business.
"Oh? Isn't it to conquer Daguang for Golden Immortal and establish a great achievement? "Zhong Shan still pretended to be confused.
Seeing Zhong Shan like this, Golden Cicada smiled and shook his head. "Dongfang Hou, you don't have to pretend to be confused. I am only doing it for the merit of heaven and earth. I think Dongfang Hou can see it."
Zhong Shan's pupils shrank. Something was not right. Why was Golden Cicada so direct? Although this was not a taboo, he could not be so direct. Both of them knew what was going on. You say you, I listen to you. In the end, if they reached a consensus, they could just say it vaguely. How could he be so direct? There were still my generals outside the pavilion!
Zhong Shan waved his hand to the outside. The generals retreated, leaving only Ah Da and Zhi Huo behind. The Almighty Dragon of Heaven was also guarding outside.
Seeing Zhong Shan's actions, Golden Cicada smiled.
"I wonder why General Golden Cicada is looking for me?" Zhong Shan asked curiously.
"Among the four armies of Daguang, you, Zhong Shan, may have fewer soldiers, but in the battlefield, you have the most kills. The most time, a military order, millions of corpses. You are an army of pure slaughter. "Golden Cicada stared at Zhong Shan and said.
"Eh? So what? His Majesty ordered us to work hard to conquer the city quickly! "Zhong Shan frowned in confusion.
"Dongfang Hou's murderous aura is too strong! Golden Cicada wants to ask Dongfang Hou to rest for a year! "Golden Cicada said solemnly.
"Brother Golden Cicada, can you give me a reasonable reason?" Zhong Shan stared at Golden Cicada and asked.
"Let me put it this way. Do you know why I am collecting merit like this?" Golden Cicada stared at Zhong Shan.
"I don't know!" Zhong Shan shook his head.
"I am a reincarnated spirit child, which means that I was a person of the Pure Land in my previous life. The merit I am collecting now is for one purpose, which is to use the Pure Land's secret technique to recover my memories of my previous life. Originally, I could have recovered in three to five years, but I can't wait that long. There are other reasons for me to quickly recover my memories of my previous life. "Golden Cicada said.
"Then you chose me?" Zhong Shan said gloomily.
"Please forgive me, Dongfang Hou. Among the four armies, your army has the heaviest murderous aura. As long as you recuperate for a year, I think that I can reduce the number of people killed and obtain enough merit to recover my memories of my previous life." Golden Cicada said.
Zhong Shan was speechless. "…"
"Of course, in order to compensate you for your loss, Zhong Shan, I will give you all the cities I have obtained and transfer all my soldiers to you. Once I recover my memories of my previous life, I will leave immediately!" Golden Cicada said with a smile.
Staring at Golden Cicada, Zhong Shan laughed dryly and took a deep breath. "I promise you!"
"Thank you, Dongfang Hou!" Golden Cicada immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Haha!" Zhong Shan laughed dryly.
After Golden Cicada left with the Great Mighty Dragon of Heaven.
"Sir, why did you promise him?" Ah Da asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Golden Cicada's soldiers are not necessarily good. They need to be retrained and reorganized. You have already planned to take down the lower three cities. Is it going to be delayed?" Zhi Huo asked with a puzzled expression.
"Let it be delayed. It's only a year." Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
"But …" Ah Da frowned.
"But what? It's good enough that I can keep my life. That Golden Cicada is really a bastard! "Zhong Shan looked in the direction where Golden Cicada disappeared and said hatefully.
"Huh?" Ah Da and Zhi Huo were stunned.
"Didn't you see that he brought the Great Mighty Dragon of Heaven? If I don't agree, he will kill me and use the Dharma to resolve me. It will also accumulate merit from heaven and earth! "Zhong Shan took a deep breath and said.
"How dare he?" Ah Da was surprised.
"Why wouldn't he dare? He will leave after killing people. If he returns to the Pure Land, will the Daluo Heaven Dynasty rush to the Pure Land for a small official like me? "Zhong Shan frowned.
"But …" Ah Da frowned.
"Judging from the current situation, Golden Cicada wasn't just a Bodhisattva in his past life. He was definitely a Buddha in his past life. The Pure Land will definitely protect him. If that's the case, my death will be in vain." Zhong Shan sighed.
"Greeting with a smiling face, hiding evil intentions. Not everyone in the Pure Land is merciful." Zhi Huo sighed.
"Merciful? Haha, everyone has their own heart and humanity! No one is perfect, and no one is absolute. Remember, everything is possible, "Zhong Shan said.
"Yes," Zhi Huo answered immediately.
"Alright, let's go back. We will immediately prepare to take over Golden Cicada's cities and his soldiers. At the same time, we will formulate a strategy to confuse Xiao Wang," Zhong Shan said after some thought.
"Okay." The two nodded.
