After Emperor Gouchen got the news, he became furious. In fact, he had already thought of the demon clan's goal at the beginning, so he gave many instructions to his subordinates responsible for guarding the city's defense construction, telling them not to let the demon clan take advantage of the loophole. In the end, it turned out to be a miscalculation!
It is conceivable that after the demon clan obtains accurate information, they will definitely launch a fierce attack in advance. As long as they are not idiots, they will not give Yu Chentian a chance to build a city defense of thousands of miles.
Wanli city defense is not so easy to build. Even if Yu Chentian puts all his efforts, it will take three months to complete. Only half of the time has passed, and there is also a serious shortage of dragon-marked cannons. Once encountering a monster attack, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous. Maybe all the half-built city defenses will be destroyed.
In order to purchase the materials for these 20 city defenses, Emperor Gouchen paid more than 60 pieces of ninth-grade immortal weapons. Even he was about to vomit blood in distress. If this was destroyed by the demon clan before it was completed, all his investment would be ruined!
Emperor Gouchen, can you not be in a hurry? He was so angry that he immediately dismissed several generals who were not doing things well and investigated them. If it weren't for the impending war, Emperor Gou Chen would have even wanted to kill people. And now is the time to employ people, so we are opening up and letting them go to the front line to fight and use the blood of the demon clan to wash away their shame.
However, the matter has come to this, and it is useless no matter how much Emperor Gou Chen regrets it. The demon army will arrive in the near future, so now he must make a countermeasure.
But this countermeasure is not so easy to find. You must know that Yu Chentian's troops are limited. If they are used to fight against the invasion of monsters, there will be no way to build 20 thousand-mile city defenses at the same time.
If Yu Chentian does this, Yu Chentian will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the half-built city defense may also be destroyed in the fierce battle. It is really not worth the loss.
But if we continue to build city defenses, the remaining people will definitely not be able to withstand the menacing demon army. This put Emperor Gouchen into a dilemma.
Finally, after a night of discussions between Emperor Gouchen and his staff, the old guy shamelessly came to Song Zhong again.
…
In the VIP Inn of Gouchen Palace, Song Zhong met Emperor Gouchen. After the two sat down, Song Zhong asked strangely: "Why did the Emperor have time to see me today? Is there something wrong?"
"Alas, I'm ashamed to say that I have something difficult to ask you for!" Emperor Gouchen said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just give me your orders!" Song Zhong said hurriedly.
"Alas~" Emperor Gouchen sighed and said helplessly: "That's it. You also know that the demon clan has been testing our territory endlessly these days. Although I have tried my best to prevent it, my subordinates are incompetent. In the end, They still got the news about the Wanli city defense and the dragon pattern cannon. I believe that within a few days, the demon clan will invade in large numbers!"
"Ah~" Song Zhong was shocked when he heard this and said: "But it will take nearly two months for the city defense to be built, and it will take at least half a year for all the dragon-patterned cannons to be equipped! If we start a war at this time, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us!"
"I know it too, so~" Emperor Gouchen said with a smile, "I'm here to beg you, right?"
"Begging me?" When Song Zhong heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? The demon clan is invading, and you beg me, but I can't do anything about it?"
"No, no~" Emperor Gouchen said hurriedly: "My staff and I have thought about it. The demon clan is invading in large numbers. The only one who can save us is you and your flying boat fleet!"
"Huh?" After hearing this, Song Zhong immediately said in shock, "Your Majesty, you don't want me and my fleet to contain the monster army, do you?"
"Yes, that's exactly it!" Emperor Gouchen said solemnly.
"Fuck~" Song Zhong could no longer maintain his composure and swore directly, and then shouted with great dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, you should be aware of the monsters opposite you. Calculated in billions, do you think it is possible for me and my flying boat to stop them?"
"It is indeed difficult to resist head-on, but it can still be done to contain them and buy us time!" Emperor Gou Chen explained: "My staff have already deduced that Yuchentian is extremely huge, and the demon clan's It is impossible for the troops to occupy all of them, and there will definitely be a lot of open space left. With the strength of your fleet, you can freely intersperse among them and use firepower to continuously eliminate the opponent. In this way, the speed of the demon tribe will be greatly delayed. , as long as you give us more than a month to build up the city defense, then we will definitely win!"
"What you said is easy, but how can it be that simple?" Song Zhong said with a helpless smile: "The demon army is not dead? Can they just sit back and watch us shuttle back and forth in their stomachs? If not, we will be killed. They surrounded me. When the time comes, facing hundreds of millions of monsters, even the emperor-level masters will be dead, let alone me!"
"Hey, I believe that with your ability and the detailed map of Yuchentian I provided, you won't be surrounded!" Emperor Gouchen said quickly.
"Don't~" Song Zhong immediately waved his hand and said calmly: "You think too highly of me, but I don't have such ability!"
Song Zhong is not an idiot, so he naturally knows the risks involved. Although Emperor Gou Chen's words are reasonable, theoretically speaking, Song Zhong can indeed achieve this level, but the problem is, the battlefield is not a child's play, right? If a war breaks out, the situation on the scene will be ever-changing, and no one can guarantee that the calculations implemented are correct. If Song Zhong is really surrounded by hundreds of millions of troops, even if he uses the Nine Phoenix Luan Jia and the Chaos Bell, he may not be able to get out.
Although Song Zhong had a good impression of Emperor Gouchen, he was not ready to risk his own life, so he refused on the spot.
Emperor Gouchen had already anticipated Song Zhong's attitude. He was not angry, but smiled slightly and said, "My dear nephew, don't be too busy refusing. Please listen to my terms and then decide whether to go or not."
Of course, Song Zhong had to give him this face, so he quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I am all ears!"
"Yes!" Emperor Gouchen nodded slightly, then calmly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "I, Gouchen, will not blindly send you into Damn it, before I send you in, I naturally have double insurance. The first one is a treasure~"
"What treasure?" Song Zhong asked curiously.
"Innate treasure!" Emperor Gouchen looked at Song Zhong and said, "You can choose whatever you want from my treasure house. After you use it, it will be yours. It's like settling the remaining debt. How about it?"
"Suck~" Song Zhong heard this and immediately took a breath of air. He never dreamed that Emperor Gouchen would spend such a huge sum of money.
You must know that innate treasures are not just random things. There are countless of them, and there are only a few thousand in the entire fairy world. Normally, no one would be willing to sell even innate materials, let alone innate treasures. Even the Emperor of Heaven would never be able to take advantage of these treasures.
But today, at the critical moment of Yuchen's life and death, Emperor Gou Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore. He actually came up with something of this level, which was indeed a very courageous thing.
If it were another Hunyuan Golden Immortal, Eighth Grade would directly agree. The chances of obtaining an innate treasure by taking a risk are not many, it is simply extremely rare.
But Song Zhong would not be like this. He even had the supreme artifact and two innate sacred artifacts in hand. Naturally, he would not care much about a mere innate treasure.
So Song Zhong just smiled and said, "What about the second insurance?"
Emperor Gouchen didn't expect Song Zhong to be so indifferent to the temptation of the innate treasure. He was extremely surprised. He thought Song Zhong had strong determination and couldn't help overestimating Song Zhong again.
Then Emperor Gou Chen smiled slightly and said: "The second layer of insurance is me!"
"You?" Song Zhong couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Please forgive me for being ignorant, I don't understand what you mean!"
"My meaning is very simple!" Emperor Gouchen said calmly, "I will lead my men to personally guard your fleet. If there is danger, I will help you get out of trouble!"
"Huh?" When Song Zhong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Xin said, if Emperor Gou Chen is personally in charge, then there is no harm in making a trip. With this emperor-level master and his elite soldiers and generals here, even if they are surrounded, they can probably escape. Taking a step back, I can let him control the Chaos Bell at the critical moment. I believe that the supreme artifact controlled by an emperor-level master will definitely be invincible. No demon can stop it.
Thinking of this, Song Zhong's expression became wonderful. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you sure you are not joking? Do you really want to go play with me?"
"Of course!" Emperor Gouchen said with a smile: "With my status, can I still lie to you?"
"Then how many people do you plan to take with you?" Song Zhong asked tentatively: "Although you are an emperor-level master, you will still have a hard time after being sieged. Isn't it difficult to handle with fewer people?"
"How many people can your fleet carry?" Emperor Gouchen suddenly asked.
"I dare not say more than that. There is no problem with a few million!" Song Zhong said proudly.
"Ha, that's quite a lot!" Emperor Gouchen said with a smile: "In that case, I will take three million elites with me for a trip. Is that enough?"
"Enough, absolutely enough!" Song Zhong heard this and said with great joy: "If this is the case, then I will risk my life and go to the hinterland of the demon army with you!"
"Haha, that's pretty much it!" Emperor Gouchen then laughed and said, "Come on, let's choose the innate treasure!"
After saying that, Emperor Gouchen took Song Zhong's hand and flew out.
