"Yes, it's indeed the Demonic Heart Arrow."
Lin Muyu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "It's a treasure found by the merchants of your country. Lord Han Shu, now that your divine power has temporarily disappeared, do you still want to continue fighting?"
Han Shu's face was pale.
Continuing to fight at this time was simply courting death. Han Shu's divine power had been sealed by the Demonic Heart Arrow, and he could only have the cultivation of the Divine Sky Realm at most. As for the other two dragon knights, one was injured, and the other was frightened. They were definitely no match for the three people in front of them.
"The Qin Empire is indeed full of talents."
After Han Shu sat on the dragon's neck, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Your Highnesses and Princess Xi. Han Shu will go back and report to His Majesty now. The diplomatic relations between the Blackstone Empire and your country will certainly last for a long time. After the Honorable Shang League is concluded, the major merchant guilds of the Blackstone Empire will send merchant ships. Thank you very much."
He was obviously much more polite than before.
Lin Muyu didn't want to kill Han Shu. Killing him was a small matter, but attracting the two Martial God level experts of the Blackstone Empire would be a big problem. Moreover, this battle was just to make a show of force, so there was no need to kill them all. The Qin Empire needed time to prepare their forces.
"Then, thank you, Lord Han Shu."
Lin Muyu looked at the dozen or so merchant ships on the surface of the sea and said: "I will personally escort these merchant ships into Blue Wind Harbor. After they have unloaded their cargo and replenished their food and water supplies, they will return the same way."
"Then … what about our cloud brocade?"
Gao Lian couldn't help but ask.
Lin Muyu smiled, "We naturally have cloud brocade, but it's very expensive, so we can only give you half a ship's worth of cloud brocade and silk."
"What?" Gao Lian was a little angry, "Is cloud brocade more expensive than gold and silver? We have more than a dozen ships with very deep drafts, which are genuine platinum and silver! "
"Gao Lian!"
Han Shu suddenly scolded, "Don't be rude to His Highness. Since His Highness said so, he must have good intentions. Half a ship's worth of cloud brocade is fine!"
"But …" Gao Lian wanted to say something but hesitated. He was stopped by Han Shu's fierce gaze.
"Then, we won't see you off," Lin Muyu said respectfully.
"Goodbye."
Han Shu cupped his fists and urged the dragon to fly back.
…
A few minutes later, the dragon had already flown far away.
Gao Lian's face was pale as he said, "Vice-captain, we … we've lost these Gold and Silver ships just like that. How are we going to explain this to His Majesty when we return? In order to raise this amount of gold and silver, the provincial treasury has been emptied! "
"Cut the crap."
Han Shu said coldly, "Is money more important or your life more important? I don't need to remind you about such a simple matter, right? Just now, Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing could have killed us at any time, but they didn't. Don't you know when to stop? "
"But …"
Gao Lian's expression was one of unwillingness as he said, "But if we lose this gold and silver, how will we explain it to His Majesty and the Marshal?"
"Just say that there was a sudden storm on the sea and all the merchant ships were destroyed."
"But … once the merchants who unloaded the goods return to their countries, this matter will definitely be exposed."
"Don't worry, they'll never be able to return to the Blackstone Empire." Han Shu's eyes flickered with a sharp glint. "Order the third dragonrider squad to wait on the islands along the way. Once these merchant ships return, kill them all without leaving a single one. All the merchant ships must sink forever in the sea."
"Yes, sir!"
Gao Lian's expression flickered with fear and reverence.
…
In the afternoon, the fleet stealthily entered the port and was quickly received by a group of imperial soldiers. The soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp personally moved the goods.
Watching the chests of platinum and silver being unloaded from the ships, Lin Muyu sat down on the dock, feeling very smug. She took a bottle of wine from an attendant and took a full gulp. A rich alcoholic fragrance immediately filled her mouth. The Snowflower Brew was as refreshing and sweet as ever.
"When did you learn to drink?"
Feng Jixing sat down beside Lin Muyu and asked for the wine.
Lin Muyu gave him the bottle and said, "Drinking can keep out the cold and strengthen your courage."
"Hahaha …" Feng Jixing drank a mouthful of wine and said, "The great Princess Yu actually wants to use wine to strengthen her courage? What a joke. I'll be the first to not believe it. "
"Otherwise …" Lin Muyu gazed into the distance and said, "A single vice-commander of the Blackstone Empire's dragonrider squad is enough to make the three of us feel like we can't handle it. Once their army arrives … I'm afraid we'll have to use wine to strengthen our courage and fight bravely!"
Feng Jixing nodded in tacit agreement with Lin Muyu's words. He thought for a moment and said, "Yu, what do you think our chances of victory are?"
"Thirty percent …"
Lin Muyu muttered, "If the magic crystal cannons can cause large-scale destruction, maybe forty percent. However, this is based on the premise that the three empires of the Celestial Pole Continent are at war with each other. Otherwise … fame and fortune will leave us like fleeting clouds."
Feng Jixing said, "The eastern capital can be considered settled. I'll be going to Skyspan Province in a few days. Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Yes, you must take care."
"That's nonsense."
"Hahahaha …"
At this moment, Tang Xiaoxi landed lightly on the ground and fished out a light golden gourd from her spatial pouch. She handed it to Lin Muyu and said, "Here, this is a gift from Sister Chu Yao."
"A gift?"
Lin Muyu shook the gourd. There was liquid inside, and after she pulled out the stopper, a strong aroma of wine wafted over. This was Flowery Wine, which had been brewed for at least a hundred years!
Tang Xiaoxi explained with a smile, "This kind of gourd is only grown in the entire Lanyan City by the Department of Spiritual Medicine. It's called 'Glass Gourd' and won't wither even in winter. It matures once every fifty years. The surface of the gourd is as hard as iron and can resist flames and sabers. It's an excellent raw material for wine gourd and was originally used to hold medicinal wine. Sister Chu Yao knows that you like the taste of Flowery Wine, so she packed some and asked me to give it to you."
"Sister Chu Yao is so considerate." Lin Muyu sighed in admiration and tied the gourd to her waist, but she laughed at herself inwardly. Fortunately, she wasn't very used to fighting with the Pear Blossom Spear. Otherwise, she would be like a reincarnated Lin Chong if she used the gourd on the Pear Blossom Spear.
Feng Jixing looked into the distance and said, "I really don't understand what the Blackstone Empire is planning."
"They're just testing us."
Lin Muyu said, "It's just like fighting a snake. We have to test the waters time and time again before finally delivering the fatal blow. I think this time, Han Shu has figured out our strength and will soon launch an attack."
Feng Jixing's eyes turned cold. "What would have happened if we had been defeated?"
Lin Muyu smiled. "Han Shu will kill us and take our heads to claim credit. In three days at most, all the warships of the Blackstone Empire that are docked on the coast will rush here. Now that the east wind is blowing, their warships will arrive very soon."
Feng Jixing clicked his tongue and stood up abruptly.
"Brother Feng, where are you going?"
"I'm mobilizing the troops of a few counties. I think a full-scale war will break out in half a month."
As she spoke, Feng Jixing had already walked away.
Lin Muyu untied the gourd and tied it back after drinking a mouthful of liquor. She also stood up and said, "Xiao Xi, let's go back to Winter Frost City."
…
In the Icebound Pole, a barren grassland was gradually shrouded in snow and wind. This grassland was called the "Green Plains" and was the warmest place in the entire Icebound Pole. Every year in the summer and autumn, the ice and snow on the Green Plains would melt, and the trees would sprout and bear some fruits, bringing some vitality to the land.
But now, the Green Plains had been occupied by a dense demon army. Countless armor demons were digging the ground in search of potatoes, bugs, rats, and hibernating snakes to fill their stomachs. But even so, they still could not fill their stomachs.
Under the imperial canopy, the Demon Emperor Feng Yuan's aged face was full of vicissitudes. On the side, Feng Jing 'er, who was already a wife, wore a gray robe and closely guarded her father. Feng Ning' er, on the other hand, wore a snow-white robe and rode a warhorse to inspect the situation of the army.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk …"
The sound of hooves approached. It was a messenger.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, 132 armor demons have starved to death in the camp today. Marshal QianFeng has sent a letter saying that no new living territory has been discovered."
"Got it. You may leave."
Feng Yuan gently waved his hand and said, "Marshal Shen, how many men and horses do we have left?"
Shen Baichuan respectfully said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are 30,000 armor demons and 40,000 Zhongnan Iron Cavalry left. Most of the Zhongnan Iron Cavalry have followed Marshal QianFeng to find new territory. We only have 30,000 armor demons here."
"Yes, got it."
Feng Yuan lightly held his cane and said, "What a good Wei Chou. He forced us so badly! As long as Marshal QianFeng finds a new territory, we will definitely make a comeback and make them pay with blood! "
Feng Ning 'er moved her red lips and wanted to say something but stopped.
"Ning 'er, what's wrong?" Feng Yuan glanced at her.
"Father, Ning 'er thinks that the most important thing is to find a suitable place to live. Revenge is only secondary. We can't overturn the entire God Race for revenge."
"Yes, Father knows what you mean. I know."
Feng Yuan closed his eyes. He needed to rest.
However, the moment Feng Yuan closed his eyes, a tyrannical aura appeared in the sea of snow in front of him. His body trembled.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Shen Baichuan asked.
"A strong enemy has arrived in the north. Prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
…
The armor demons raised their weapons and shields. Pairs of bloody eyes stared at the snow in the north. There, groups of giant beasts with scorching auras were descending.
"Roar roar roar …"
Following the roars and the flapping of giant wings, black figures emerged from the curtain of snow one after another. They were actually dragonriders. Their entire bodies were wrapped in leather robes and armor, but strands of cold light seeped out from within their helmets. Their ice-cold dragon spears were pointed straight at the demon camp.
Below the dragon riders was a group of beast cavalry shrouded in the heat of dragon flames. The mounts looked like fierce tigers, but they weren't. The cold swords were ready to be fired.
"They are …"
Feng Yuan gritted his teeth and said with a trembling body, "Could it be … that the heavens want to destroy our God Race!?"
…
As the war drums sounded, the Armor Demons rushed toward their opponents in a dense mass.
In the sky, the giant dragons flapped their giant wings and opened their mouths to spit dragon flames on the ground. The crowd of armor demons turned into a sea of fire. The power of the God State Warriors crisscrossed in the sky. The cold wind and snow intertwined, playing a sad song of destruction.
…
The Demon Race was finished!
