Chapter 224 - State Advisor Wu ZongAll defensive work, when the enemy warship approaches, be ready!
On the spectating platform, Ito Fu Ming heaved a long sigh of relief. In the distance, he was battling with Wan Bing, but he was also occasionally gazing at the battlefield. He too was relieved!As long as the Dragon Slaying Platform and Heaven-Shaking Hammer were operating normally, no matter how many warships the other side sent, they would not be able to lose them!
Even though Wan Bing had been holding onto Tendon Dragon One, he was also paying close attention to the situation. His heart tightened when he saw that his opponent was using his two ultimate attacks, the Sea Defense, without any obstruction.
If Xiang Tian did not have any other methods and charged forward so rashly, the result would definitely not be good!
"Hahahaha, it seems like the war G.o.ds of your Wind Cloud Country are only this much. If you"re smart and tried your best, you will end up dying in the stupidest way possible!"
At this time, Teng Qingshan had already sneered and mocked him!
Wan Bing"s face was gloomy, he did not say a word, but the wolf cub, Xiao Yue, in his hand, was waving more ferociously, his killing move was sharp, and the work rattan dragon did not care about it, his attacks were getting fiercer!
He didn"t mind this at all. When the great war began, he would use the head of the Great Marshal of the Wind Cloud Nation"s army to celebrate the victory of both countries in advance!
At the same time, in the Royal Palace of the State of j.a.pan, a rare scene was seen. Two ministers of both kingdoms stood on either side of each other. On the throne room, there were two Dragon Thrones!
Emperor Renming and the Southern Emperor sat on the dragon chairs, listening to the messengers below to report the situation of the battle at the front lines in detail. Their expressions first changed slightly, but then immediately became much more peaceful!The ministers of both countries, who were standing by the side, were also shocked. Their minds relaxed as they inwardly heaved a sigh of relief!
When they heard that Xiang Tian had used thousands of warships to forcefully attack the island, they all felt a chill run down their spines. Their expressions changed on the spot, and some of them even turned to flee in fright, almost rushing out of the great hall.
If it were anyone else, no matter how many warships they had to attack the coast, they would not necessarily be this afraid.
However, Xiang Tian was an exception. He was known as the "Blood Butcher". He was a fierce existence that could repel the barbarians and ma.s.sacre millions of troops from ten nations!
His arrival was already an invisible and immense pressure. It was a dark cloud that was pressing down on everyone"s heads, and it was impossible to dispel.The moment they heard the latter was going to attack the island in an all-out attack, even the faces of the two emperors on the Dragon Throne changed, not to mention the civil and military ministers.
Fortunately, there was still good news. It was fortunate that they discovered it in time. The border guards reacted quickly and activated the Dragon Slaying Altar and Heaven Shaking Hammer in time.
The invincible General Jin who had rushed over along the way had already clashed with the army of the reverse scale army that was heading for reinforcements. General Jin was currently leading the reverse scale army to rapidly reinforce the coastline!These two news were no different from a sweet rain pouring from the sky. It made the civil and military officials and the two emperors" hearts, which was about to jump out of their throats, return to normal.
As long as the two sea defense weapons were activated successfully, there was no need to fear that the other party would forcefully attack the island.
In addition, with Unrivaled Jin leading the reverse scale army, the enemies had even less hope of winning, even if it was Xiang Tian. The latter was a human after all, and he was not a G.o.d!
"Very good, keep investigating and report back!" Emperor Renming waved his sleeve and ordered the messenger to leave!
Soon after, the officials in the imperial court were all discussing amongst themselves. These officials were so happy that they had just survived a disaster and had regained their arrogant demeanor!
"Hmph, a mere Xiang Tian. Does he really think he can overturn rivers and seas? He actually dares to forcefully attack our two countries" islands. He"s simply seeking his own destruction!"
"You"re right, he"s just too arrogant and conceited. My South Island"s invincible General Jin is now a national general, and he even has two saints on him. He"s no different from a dragon with a pair of wings, but he can soar to the highest heavens. That"s heaven"s will!"
"His country of Feng Yun is actually going against the heavens. Hmph hmph, I think their numbers have run out and their nation is about to perish!"
"Right, the number of enemies has already reached its limit, the nation is about to perish!"In the imperial court, most of the military officers had already rushed to the battlefield. The remaining civil officials, in order not to be overshadowed by the former, were doing their utmost to keep their mouth shut.
The war on the coast was as intense as the war on the coast between the two emperors.
However, just as the atmosphere in the imperial court was getting more and more heated, as the officials were getting more and more impa.s.sioned and flattering the officials, an extremely discordant voice rang out!"Haha, since everyone has belittled Windcloud Nation and Xiang Ling to such an extent that they"re not even comparable to a three year old child, and his Western Lion Cavalry is even inferior to the merchants, why don"t you personally bring your sabers up and kill Xiang Ling yourself?"
These words were extremely unkind. It immediately made these pa.s.sionate officials, whose saliva was flying all over the place, extremely embarra.s.sed.
All of their faces were flushed red like a rooster who had been strangled by the neck and could not make a sound. It was extremely comical!
The weird thing was, none of them retorted. Other than the fact that they were stabbed in the head with a single sentence, they had nothing to say.More importantly, the ident.i.ty of the speaker was beyond them. They had the guts to retort!
"Honored Imperial Advisor, what ideas do you have?"
At this moment, both the Southern Emperor and Emperor Ren De looked over at the same time. There was a young man seated on a silver chair on the second level of the throne room that was higher than the other civil and military ministers!
This young man wore a luxurious blue robe. His clothing was very different from that of the natives of the South Island and the Rising Sun Country. His style was very different, and was similar to the clothing of the people of the Storm Country!This person looked to be in his early twenties. He had a handsome face with long hair flowing behind his head. His eyes were slightly raised and his lips were slightly thin.
When she smiled, her thin lips lightly pursed as her eyes slightly narrowed. She actually carried a demonic temperament that looked as if she could despise all living things!
This person was the Imperial Advisor, Wu Zong, who wore the jade talismans from both countries. He was an existence that caused the two emperors of South Island and j.a.pan to be fearful of, and also an existence that feared even the entire imperial court!
Even though this person looked young, he was actually already one of the three dynasties elders. Since the founding of the two kingdoms, he had already become an Imperial Advisor, and now he had become two ministers under his command!No one knew how old he was, but his face, which had experienced many years of baptism, still remained unchanged. It was imprinted in the hearts of everyone present!
This person held absolute authority in the countries of South Island and j.a.pan. His words, along with those of the two emperors, were even more useful. This was not only because he was an elder of the three dynasties, but also because of his unfathomable cultivation base.
More importantly, this person was the protector of Blood Dragon Abyss. That sacred beast that was related to national destiny, just based on the instructions of this person, he was also the ancestor of all beast tamers from both countries!With such a status and ident.i.ty, everyone could not help but feel reverence for him. His sarcastic remark made the entire imperial court afraid to utter another word, while the two emperors had to be extremely careful and ask the Imperial Advisors for their opinions.
Only then did the Imperial Advisor, Wu Zong, slowly turn his head. Leaning on the silver bench, he fiddled with a dark green bamboo flute in his hand and spoke lazily.
"Your Majesty, I have never seen Xiang Ling in person, but I have heard quite a bit about his deeds."
"This man can ride with the iron cavalry and repel the north. Those tyrannical barbarians are not just powerful in terms of fighting prowess, but they also have great skills in the art of using troops."
"If he dares to lead a large-scale attack on the island, he might have other means. Although there are two generals in front, coupled with the reverse scale army, I think the chances of him winning are still less than sixty percent!""En!"
When Wu Zong"s words left his mouth, the entire imperial court immediately burst into an uproar!
"But 60% chance of winning?"
"How is this possible?"
"We still have the Dragon Slaying Platform and Heaven Shaking Hammer. The two generals are valiant and invincible. With the addition of the trump card of an army, how could we possibly only have this little chance of winning when using the terrain to defend?"Facing the discussions below, Wu Zong merely sneered.
"Are you questioning my judgment?"
"Ugh …"
With just a single sentence, the previously noisy great hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone lowered their heads in silence, not daring to meet the lazy gaze of the Imperial Advisor Wu Zong.
It was only then that they recalled that this person"s words were unquestionable!Emperor Renming frowned as he asked, "Imperial Advisor, why are you not optimistic about the situation in front of us?"
"It"s not that I"m not optimistic, it"s that you"re too optimistic." Wu Zong casually replied."This …" Emperor Ren Ming was momentarily worried. Naturally, he would not doubt the words of his Imperial Advisor Wu Zong.
The number of times Wu Zong had been in charge of these two countries for over a hundred years could be counted with his fingers. Wu Zong had been in charge of these two countries for over a hundred years, could be counted with his fingers.Faced with the worries of the two emperors, Wu Zong waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, you two don"t have to worry. Even if they really break through the defense of the sea border, as long as I open the seal of the Blood Dragon Abyss, no matter how mighty they are, they will become the food of my precious" Xiao Hong "!"
Hearing this, Emperor Renming and the Southern Emperor Li Zong were overjoyed. However, Emperor Renming suddenly thought of something. He wanted to speak, but he had some scruples.
In the next moment, a voice sounded out from the heart of Emperor Renming. "Your Majesty, are you worried that Xiao Hong"s body has just become weak and is unable to partic.i.p.ate in the battle?"
Emperor Renming"s body trembled slightly as he similarly thought to himself, "That"s exactly the case. Imperial Advisor, you once said that after a Saint Beast is produced, it will be unable to recover within three years. Will the Saint Beast be able to fight this time?"
"Haha, don"t worry, Your Majesty. I have a Golden Essence Pill that I have refined for a long time. It just so happens that if Little Red consumes it, its strength will be restored to its original state. It might even improve!"This seemingly young Imperial Advisor was not only a Beast Master, but also an extremely rare and rare alchemist!
Hearing this, Emperor Renming was overjoyed. He spoke excitedly in his heart, "If that"s the case, then in this war, I"ll have to trouble the honored Imperial Advisor to supervise the army and help out at the critical moment!"
Wu Zong chuckled and replied, "That is a small matter, but my Golden Marrow Pill has consumed a large amount of precious herbs. After this battle, I would like to trouble both of you to get more ingredients for me in the Wind Cloud Country."
The so-called "s.n.a.t.c.h" was naturally "s.n.a.t.c.h". In actuality, the reason why the South Island and the Rising Sun Island were so greedy was because they wreaked havoc along the southern border of the Storm Country.
At least half of the reason was to satisfy the needs of the Imperial Advisor.Beast Master and Alchemist were two very rare occupations, but they were both extremely expensive occupations.
The former required a large amount of rare and precious ingredients to be fed to the cloud beasts they trained, and occasionally even needed to be fed rare and precious medicinal pills to cultivate.Naturally, there was no doubt about it. In the continent, the most lucrative occupation, the forging of a cauldron of pills, required a ma.s.sive amount of genius. It took a long time for it to succeed!
One of the reasons why the small sects in the various empires had so few alchemists was because of this.
They couldn"t afford it. Only the truly large sects would have the financial and material resources to train their alchemists.Yet Wu Zong possessed two jobs at the same time, which consumed a lot of energy. Thus, it could be imagined how much South Island and j.a.pan would have to plunder in order to fill this Bottomless Pit!
Hearing this, Emperor Ren Ming naturally agreed without hesitation. As long as this battle was a victory, he would be able to lead his troops to the north.
"That"s right, Your Majesty. My cave still lacks a few maidservants. I hope Your Majesty can send ten more girls from the Wind Cloud Country to keep watch over the pill furnace and clean my cave. Hehe."
Speaking up to there, Wu Zong seemed to have thought of something and laughed evilly.Emperor Renming smiled. "Rest a.s.sured, Imperial Advisor. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to three counties on the north coast to capture ten young girls. I guarantee they will all be beautiful and pure women!"
"If that"s the case, it"s very good. Then, I"ll take my leave and go watch the battle up ahead!"Finishing his words, Wu Zong abruptly stood up from the bench, tapped his feet on the ground, and leaped high into the air, floating above the throne room!
Immediately, a blinding golden light burst out from Wu Zong"s body, causing everyone to be unable to look at him in the eye!
In the next moment, the light disappeared and the person disappeared from the main hall.
