There was nothing much to prepare in the inner city. They had done what they needed to do. All that was left was to wait for the enemy to arrive.
Zhang Weiyu and the others usually drank a little, but at this time, everyone temporarily stopped drinking. No one wanted to drop the ball at such a critical time. Everyone's hearts were stretched taut.
They started chatting. Li Heitan, Chen Zu'an, Cheng Qiuqiao, Zhang Weiyu, Liu Yizhao, and the rest, who were Lü Shu's most trusted people, gathered together.
Li Heitan said that he was now the king's right-hand man, but Zhang Weiyu was unhappy. "There are only two right-hand men. There are so many people, but you're the only useful one. Then what are we?"
Li Heitan thought about it and said, "Are you Big Toe?"
Zhang Weiyu: "???"
Seeing that Charcoal Li and Zhang Weiyu were about to start fighting, Li Liang, who was at the side, hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "The Great King doesn't necessarily only have two useful people by his side. Two is too little, why don't we call them the Eight Great Vajras?"
"Old Man Li," Li Heitan said, "the names you came up with are too much, and eight is too little."
Li Liang was confused at that time. "Where did you learn all these words? Then tell me, what should we call each other?"
"How about the Ten Kings of Hell? King Yanluo, King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, isn't that nice? It even has the name of the Divine King. From now on, I'll be called King Qin Guang! "Li Heitan said proudly.
The mediator, Li Liang, quickly praised, "Li Heitan, you sure are a smart one."
Li Heitan was embarrassed by the compliment. "Hehe, you too."
Li Liang: "…"
…
The Eastern State's fleet sailed with the current. The people paddling and riding on the water wheels were all cultivators. Some even took turns to cast spells on the ship to summon wind.
Therefore, even though they were going against the current, their speed was still very fast.
In fact, these people were already prepared. They were just waiting for Yu Fuyao's command to set off for Monarch City. Yu Fuyao's control over the Eastern State was very solid. The 'gigolos' she had chosen were also of high status, which made it easy for her to firmly grasp the Eastern State in her hands.
Halfway through the journey, it suddenly rained, but even if it rained, they could not delay the journey, because everyone knew that delaying the military plan was a capital offense.
This group of people was the first to arrive, so they needed to set up camp near King City as soon as possible to receive the army behind them.
It had been a long time since Eastern State had been involved in a war, so everyone was a little unfamiliar with the concept of war. Unlike Western State and Southern State, where the border was in a state of preparedness every day, even though they had never fought their way into the mainland before, they still had the concept of war in their hearts.
However, the great nobles felt that Yu Fuyao was too hasty in dispatching them. It was as if he did not intend to rely on them to fight the war. Seeing that they did not even have the chance to train the soldiers, he ordered them to assemble on the same day and set off the next day.
No matter how unfamiliar they were with the concept of war, everyone understood that this was not a proper way to fight a war.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. Now that a group of experts had suddenly appeared in the Eastern Capital Palace, each with a first-rank expert guarding a ship, they did not dare to move carelessly.
These young experts were extremely strange. They were so cold that they seemed to have no emotions. Someone suddenly recognized one of them. Wasn't that the son of an aristocratic family who had entered the Eastern Capital Palace decades ago?
Time had never passed on them. This was the advantage of young experts. They had reached the realm of eternal youth after advancing to the first rank, so they sometimes looked even younger than their own grandchildren.
As for the older experts, after breaking through to the first rank, they only looked middle-aged, such as Li Xianyi and Chen Baili.
At this moment, he realized that these young masters who came out of the Summer Palace might be the gigolo who had entered the Summer Palace before, so he didn't dare to speak anymore. He looked at the other unfamiliar masters and thought that they might have entered the Summer Palace before him!
He could not afford to offend these people, so he could only pretend to be deaf and mute.
The young experts who had come out of the Eastern Capital Palace all stood at the bow of their respective ships with their hands behind their backs. They looked at the rolling waves calmly. They were not afraid of the wind and rain at this time. A little spiritual energy was enough to shield them from the wind and rain.
Beneath that calm expression, there was a kind of indifference towards the world. Seeing their expressions, the noble soldiers on the ships began to guess what they had experienced in the Western Capital Palace all these years.
All these years, there had been no news of the gigolos after they entered the palace. Unless something major happened to their families, they would not be seen at all.
Moreover, they had a strong desire to interfere in family affairs, even supporting obedient family heads to take over.
In the early years, it was said that many nobles had suddenly died. Some people speculated that it was the work of these gigolos. Of course, Yu Fuyao must have been behind this.
Therefore, the pressure on the nobles of the Eastern Province was no less than that of the Western Province. Everyone said that the Northern Province was the most suitable place for humans to live, but in the past two days, they had lost contact with all their relatives and friends.
During this time, there were nobles who wanted to escape to the Northern Province to escape the chaos of the war. Now that the situation in the Northern Province was unclear, they did not dare to go.
Of course, if they could survive this war, they should be thankful that they did not go to the Northern Province …
At that moment, a huge black shadow suddenly passed by the ship. The young expert at the front was startled, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
The weather was gloomy and rainy, and the whole world was a kind of oppressive gray. Due to the dim lighting, the shadow under the river was not that obvious. If the young man had not been on full alert, he probably would not have noticed the black shadow.
The young man observed carefully for a while longer. When he realized that there was nothing wrong, he slightly relaxed his muscles.
Actually, he also thought that he might have seen wrongly. After all, there had never been such a huge beast in the water. It was said that there were such beasts in ancient times, but they seemed to have been captured somewhere and gradually became extinct.
However, the next moment, an expression of extreme shock appeared on his cold face, as if something unbelievable had just appeared in front of him.
Not only him, but everyone on the deck of the ship had a look of shock on their faces.
"Sob sob sob!"
A joyful voice rang out. One of the nobles on the deck was astonished. "Could this be the legendary dragon's roar?"
The monster in front of them, which was covered in black fog and was over a thousand meters long, was it not the legendary divine dragon? But no one had ever said that the dragon's roar looked like this, and no one had ever said that the divine dragon still existed in this world.
Just as he finished speaking, the first main ship was bitten down by Chaos. That huge mouth was the size of the entire ship. With just one bite, the ship was shattered into pieces!
Blood-colored splashes appeared on the surface of the river, but they were quickly washed away by the river upstream.
"Received negative emotion points from Jiang Wenhan, + 1,000!
"Received …
"Sob sob sob!"
