Chapter 1350 A War Without Smoke (1)
"Brother Lin, you"re one of the top figures in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Ordinary connate divine weapons are naturally not worthy of you," Zhou Shu said.
Zhou Shu pointed at the three divine weapons in the sandalwood box. "These three divine weapons are three heavens, four heavens, and five heavens.
"I don"t know what the weapons of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom are like, but in our ancestral land, grotto-heaven divine weapons are already the best divine weapons. These three divine weapons are enough to rank in the top ten among all the divine weapons in the ancestral land."
Zhou Shu wasn"t lying. Now, there were less than ten grotto-heaven divine weapons in total.
In order to fool Lin Kelei, he had really spent a lot of money.
A smile appeared on Lin Kelei"s face, and his eyes lit up. "Brother Zhou, you"re too polite."
Lin Kelei chuckled. "Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has always loved peace. The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom bullies the weak. I couldn"t stand it anymore. If not for the fact that it isn"t appropriate for the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom to fall out, I would have taught those fellows from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom a lesson long ago.
"Thanks to you, Brother Zhou, I"ve finally vented my anger.
"Leave the mercenaries to me."
Lin Kelei calmly put away the three grotto-heaven divine weapons and patted his chest. "I will definitely personally choose ten thousand elite soldiers and personally escort them over.
"But Brother Zhou, I have something to say first. When they"re here, it"s not a problem for them to help you fight. But on the surface, they will definitely not admit that they"re from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom."
Zhou Shu said bluntly, "Of course. Mercenaries fight in the name of our ancestral land. When they are hired, they are soldiers of the ancestral land and have nothing to do with the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom!"
"Brilliant!" Lin Kelei gave him a thumbs up. If they had discussed this earlier, they would have come to an agreement long ago.
How could it have almost ended like it did earlier?
Zhou Shu said, "Brother Lin, your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is powerful. Can these ten thousand elite soldiers all be at the level of the Golden Dragon Guards? Price is not a problem. As you can see, I"m not short of money."
Lin Kelei: "…"
I just praised you for being brilliant, but you"re already giving me such a difficult problem?
The standard of the Golden Dragon Guards?
Do you really think the Golden Dragon Guards are like cabbages on the side of the road?
The Golden Dragon Guards were the most powerful army in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. They were also the most powerful army in the Five Heavenly Kingdoms!
Or rather, to understand one thing, the Golden Dragon Guards were the only army formed by half-step Nomological realm experts in the Five Heavenly Kingdoms!
The other four heavenly kingdoms wouldn"t be able to gather so many half-step Nomological realm experts!
Although Lin Kelei was unwilling to admit it, the combat strength of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was indeed top-notch in the Five Heavenly Kingdoms.
Of course, this didn"t mean that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was the strongest existence in the Five Heavenly Kingdoms.
Although the number of half-step Nomological realm experts in the other four heavenly kingdoms was inferior to that of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, there were many other experts in the other four heavenly kingdoms.
If they really fought, they might just be able to deal with the Golden Dragon Guards.
Of course, Lin Kelei couldn"t explain this much to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu wanted 10,000 mercenaries comparable to the Golden Dragon Guards, but Lin Kelei really couldn"t do it.
There were probably less than ten thousand half-step Nomological realm experts in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Where could he find ten thousand people comparable to the Golden Dragon Guards for Zhou Shu?
Lin Kelei pondered and said, "Brother Zhou, logically speaking, we"ve had such a good talk, so I shouldn"t reject such a small request of yours.
"But you also know that once our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom sends reinforcements to help you, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom will definitely take revenge on our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
"Although our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom isn"t afraid, we have to leave some people behind to prevent the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom from taking desperate measures.
"To be honest with you, there aren"t many soldiers comparable to the Golden Dragon Guards. Even our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom doesn"t have many.
"How about this? I"ll give you at most three thousand half-step Nomological realm experts and seven thousand Grotto-Heaven realm experts!"
Lin Kelei gritted his teeth and said, "I"m already being very kind."
On account of the three grotto-heaven divine weapons, Lin Kelei thought.
Zhou Shu pondered. "Three thousand half-step Nomological realm experts, seven thousand Grotto-Heaven realm experts… Although it"s so-so, I"ll accept them. Thank you, Brother Lin."
Zhou Shu asked, "Brother Lin, can you really bring these ten thousand mercenaries over smoothly?
"Previously, when you came over, you completely offended Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao. I"m afraid they won"t let you pa.s.s the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom so easily."
"That"s for sure, but it won"t be a problem for me." Lin Kelei chuckled. "If I can pa.s.s through the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom once, I can pa.s.s through it a second time."
Lin Kelei said confidently, "What can Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao do to me?"
…
Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom…
Wu Suchen lay on a bed and kept vomiting blood.
Zhan Jingtao stood under the bed, furious.
He was really going crazy.
Ever since Zhan Jingtao had reached the peak of his cultivation, he had never felt so aggrieved.
He didn"t know what hit him… Everything had been going wrong for him recently.
There was no progress in attacking the ancestral land, and people had created trouble in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom time and time again.
All of this happened after Mu Zhixing appeared in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!
If Mu Zhixing hadn"t robbed the warehouse of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, it wouldn"t have affected Wu Suchen"s process of refining a dharma treasure for the Black Emperor.
