Chu Mo sighed and said in a deep voice, "There is a sixth army in Da Qi. As for the other five teams, each team should have no more than two hundred thousand people. "
Fang Mingtong's eyes lit up. "Not bad, kid. You really got accurate information. Not bad. Each of the five armies has about 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers."
After saying that, Fang Mingtong frowned. "But … what's going on with this sixth army? Since when did Da Qi have a sixth army? Over at the military supply department, all the military supplies were according to the standards of the five armies! Even if there are some errors … it is impossible to equip an army of 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers … "
The Emperor's face became serious as he murmured, "I said that they might have a conspiracy. That's why I sent Chu Mo … I didn't expect that my horse would get different information!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down …" Fang Mingtong looked at the Emperor and said with a bitter smile, "Things are not clear yet."
Then, Fang Mingtong looked at Chu Mo with a serious face, "Kid, can you take responsibility for your words? This is not a joke. This concerns the life and death of our Da Xia! "
Under the watchful eyes of the Emperor and Fang Mingtong, Chu Mo nodded and said, "I am not talking nonsense. What I said is true!"
"Alright, let's not talk about how you came back in such a short time. Tell us what you know. "Fang Mingtong still couldn't believe it. It wasn't that he didn't trust Chu Mo. In fact, he was more optimistic about Chu Mo's future than anyone else.
But because of this, he couldn't believe it. Miracles were called miracles when they happened once. Miracles that always happened … were no longer miracles!
Chu Mo said, "The sixth army in Da Qi doesn't just have 100,000 to 200,000 soldiers …"
"Could it be an elite army with tens of thousands of soldiers?" Fang Mingtong muttered.
Chu Mo looked at Fang Mingtong, "No, it's a million soldiers!"
"Are you kidding me?" Fang Mingtong cried out involuntarily, "An army of a million? Do you think the military intelligence department of Da Xia is full of fools? "
At this time, the Emperor also looked at Chu Mo in disbelief and said, "This … is really incredible. Chu Mo, go on."
Chu Mo nodded and said, "I received this news on the first night after I entered the Great Qi Kingdom. I snuck into the Second Prince's residence. At that time, the second prince's son wanted to enter the army. At that time, the Fifth Prince of Daqi was also present. "
Chu Mo told the Emperor and Fang Mingtong about the conversation he had overheard that night. Then he said, "When I heard it, I also felt that it was unbelievable. The Broken Heaven Mountain Range … That place was completely a dangerous place. Even a Huang Level Level 4 Iron Bone Realm warrior like me would have a hard time crossing it, let alone those soldiers. I also couldn't understand why they would choose to break through from there. Could it be that they could dig a tunnel here? That's ridiculous! "
Chu Mo looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of thing … Even our military intelligence department couldn't find out anything about it. I'm afraid it would be very difficult to verify it."
What made Chu Mo feel strange was that when he mentioned the Broken Heaven Mountain Range, the Emperor and Fang Mingtong didn't show any expressions of surprise or disbelief. Whether it was the Emperor or Fang Mingtong, none of their faces revealed the surprise and disbelief he had expected.
This greatly surprised Chu Mo. This was because it sounded even more ridiculous than the existence of a sixth army in the Great Qi Kingdom with millions of soldiers!
"The Broken Heaven Mountain Range …" Fang Mingtong's brows were tightly knitted as he mumbled. Then, he looked at the Emperor with a … hesitant expression.
The Emperor sighed. He didn't know why, but he stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. Then, he looked at Chu Mo with a complicated expression and let out a long sigh, "You are indeed my lucky star …"
"Your Majesty, General Fang?" Chu Mo looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. He didn't know why they suddenly believed his words.
"Speak." The Emperor looked at Fang Mingtong and said in a deep voice.
Fang Mingtong nodded, "This matter is our Da Xia's … biggest secret! Now that I'm telling you, you must keep this a secret. Otherwise, our Da Xia … will be in big trouble. However … I don't know if this is still a secret. "
Chu Mo looked at Fang Mingtong and said, "General Fang, speak. I promise I won't betray my country."
Fang Mingtong smiled bitterly and said, "Ten years ago, we discovered an incomparably huge vein of ore in the Broken Heaven Mountain Range. This vein extends from our side all the way to the Great Qi Kingdom!"
"Vein?" The corners of Chu Mo's mouth twitched, "I've never heard of it."
"Of course you've never heard of it." Fang Mingtong sighed, "It's an incomparably huge vein of primordial stones!"
Chu Mo was shocked. How could he not know the benefits of primordial stones? That thing was a huge help to one's cultivation. If the top sects knew about it, they would definitely be jealous and try to snatch it!
It was simply unimaginable for a mundane dynasty to possess an enormous source stone mine all by itself.
"Not only that, the primordial stones produced by that vein are extremely pure! It can be said to be a top-grade primordial stone vein! " Fang Mingtong's words were shocking. He then looked at the stunned Chu Mo and said, "Now do you understand why the Emperor agreed to build the Misty Palace Royal School in the secular world? Now do you understand why His Majesty wanted to take the initiative in his own hands? "
The Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk about that matter anymore. I'm sorry for letting Chu Mo down … However, what I want is a force that not only has a powerful inheritance, but also a force that can rise quickly! So … I was a little anxious at that time. "
"I see …" Chu Mo murmured, "The Emperor wants to use the primordial stones produced by that vein to arm this force and let it grow rapidly into a giant. But if you can't control such a force, it will be extremely dangerous … "
The Emperor nodded, "It's good that you understand."
Fang Mingtong continued, "But this is the most secretive matter in Da Xia. So … after you showed a strong resistance, we also felt that we shouldn't be too hasty. Because once the news is leaked, not only the academy will be in trouble, but the whole of Da Xia … will also be in trouble. No top-notch sect would allow such a thing to happen. Such a giant force to appear in the secular world. "
Chu Mo looked at Fang Mingtong, "We've almost emptied that vein?"
Fang Mingtong shook his head and said, "No, at most … we've only collected one-tenth of it. But we've already dug a huge passage through the entire Hengduan Mountain Range!"
