There is no such thing as fairness in wars between countries.
This is a truth that even a three-year-old child understands. Although Ding Lingxi looks childish and willful, she is the little saint of the Ye Sect after all, and one of the future heirs of the 'Six Kingdoms'.
She knows a lot, but she just doesn't want to use her brain to think about it.
She even proposed that Ye Zong be the location for the final decisive battle, which was a very far-sighted opinion.
Even Mu Hongxiu had to admit that at a certain moment just now, she had indeed moved.
It's a pity that Ding Lingxi is just a little saint. Before she achieves immortality, she doesn't even have the authority of a saint. If she is now the master of the Ye Sect, Mu Hongxiu will definitely agree to her proposal without hesitation. Join forces with the Night Sect of the Six Kingdoms to give the Demon Kingdom a loud and painful slap in the face.
However, the current master of the Night Sect is still her father, and all her special status comes from the master of the Night Sect. From Mu Hongxiu's perspective, this proposal was very tempting, but from the perspective of the Lord of the Night Sect, Ding Lingxi's proposal was a bit like a dream.
"If the Jitian Demon Kingdom wants a decisive battle, the best place is at the border."
Finally, when the atmosphere was about to return to silence again, Mu Hongxiu, who had been staring at the huge map, finally spoke.
She looked at the ancient part of the map, where there was a black trace on the edge of the territory occupied by the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom.
That's the 'border'.
Or should I say, that's the 'abyss'.
It is a miracle created by the ancestor emperor with his supreme magical power, an unbreakable iron wall that isolates all foreign enemies.
Whether it is from the special meaning of its symbol or from a strategic perspective, placing the decisive battle at the border and defeating the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom in front of that abyss is the best choice for the Jitian Demon Kingdom.
However, far away at the border, the three kings guarding the abyss had insight into the conspiracy of the Jitian Demon Kingdom. Even if they let go of the border, opened the country, and moved the location of the decisive battle to the territory of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, even if it would bring unimaginable damage to the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom. , they also did not allow the little calculations of Jitian Demon Kingdom to be finalized.
Leave the war to the generals.
Leave everything to those who are good at it.
The decision made by the three kings was not a foolish move. At least on the surface, it looked like an extremely decisive decision to cut off the strength of a strong man.
However, because the decision-making at the border is not entirely controlled by the three kings, they are not the only ones who are good at war.
Lin Wangbei, the marshal of the country who was supposed to serve as reinforcements to guard the border, guarded his duties very "faithfully". Even under the pressure of the three kings, he still sent a letter asking for help to Prince Yan's Mansion through secret channels.
He didn't want to give up the border.
Mu Hongxiu knew Lin Wangbei's plan immediately.
Just because he didn't want to give up on the border didn't mean that he completely denied the Three Kings' decision.
The final decisive battle cannot be at the border. This is also Lin Wangbei's idea. Therefore, Mu Hongxiu understood what Lin Wangbei did not explicitly say in the letter asking for help.
He wants to find another place for a decisive battle, not only to fight, but also to win.
Because of this, there was a scene where the four of them stood in front of the Zhenwu Domain map and meditated.
"If there is a decisive battle at the border, the three kings must use the power of the abyss." After Mu Hongxiu said that, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at the black shadow on the edge of the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven, "As a Holy Kingdom, the Abyss The border gate was opened by the ancestor emperor, and it contains the power that can destroy everything. When necessary, the three kings can mobilize the power of the abyss, drain the hundreds of states of the Holy Kingdom, and erupt with boundless divine power comparable to the wrath of heaven and man."
Mu Hongxiu said with a twinkle in her eye: "This is the main reason why Lin Wangbei asked Lu Li to come for support."
"The essence of the abyss is also a great formation."
"A huge formation that connects the entire Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom!"
As Mu Hongxiu revealed the nature of the abyss, the three women had different expressions.
It was Ling'er who reacted first and asked puzzledly: "Since the abyss has such a powerful power, why did the Jitian Demon Kingdom choose the border as the location for the decisive battle?"
"They must have something to rely on." Bai Bai also narrowed his eyes.
As the incarnation of the will of the world, she knew many unknown secrets and said slowly: "The wrath of heavenly beings is certainly terrifying, but it is by no means invincible. Even real heavenly beings will be helpless in front of an army array that numbers more than a million. Let alone a formation created by imitating the power of heaven and man?"
"Even so..." Ling'er thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Are they going to sacrifice the lives of millions of people to fill the wrath of the abyss?"
"Could they..."
"crazy."
Before Ling'er could say the last two words, Mu Hongxiu had already taken over and said calmly: "They are just crazy."
She looked at Ling'er, as if she intended to teach her something, "The people of Jitian Demon Kingdom are originally a group of lunatics. In their eyes, everything can be sacrificed, even the life that is most cherished by the world. As long as the purpose can be achieved , let alone millions of people, even if this number is increased ten times or a hundred times, even if the capital of the Jitian Demon Kingdom is emptied and hundreds of millions of people are killed in this war, the madman Jitian Demon Emperor will not have any consequences. He hesitated. Without even frowning, he threw all his soldiers into battle to calm the fury of the abyss."
"Of course, the premise of all this is 'victory'."
"Although the abyss is strong, it is not without limits. Mobilizing the power of the entire Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom and erupting with a power comparable to the wrath of heaven and man sounds wonderful, but once it reveals its claws, it will make the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom become more powerful. Paralyzed in a short period of time.”
Mu Hongxiu almost broke apart the biggest secret of the Holy Kingdom of Tuntian and shared it with them. Her tone was so gentle that there was nothing wrong with it, as if it was a matter of course.
"Take a large amount of spiritual energy, or energy, and transform it through the abyss, and then explode with power that can calm everything. Such power should indeed come with a price."
Ling'er has read a lot of books since she woke up, and she has not given up her thirst for knowledge after returning to the world. The classics collected by Wu Zong, Prince Yan's Mansion, and Lu Li during this period were all sent to Ling'er. Going into the courtyard, such a strong knowledge reserve allowed her to understand the nature of the abyss almost instantly.
At the same time, I also understood why Jitian Demon Kingdom must place the decisive battle at the border.
"They're waiting."
Ling'er sighed: "The leader of the Jitian Demon Kingdom is really a hero. Regardless of whether the power of the abyss is activated at the border, those attacking soldiers are doomed to die."
Bai Bai and Ding Lingxi couldn't help but look at Ling'er.
Ding Lingxi said in surprise: "Sister Ling'er means that Jitian Demon Kingdom actually dares to treat hundreds of thousands of soldiers as abandoned sons?"
"Even if they have a strong national power, they can't afford to go through such trouble, right?"
Ling'er shook his head and looked up at the tile on the map that belonged to the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom. "Jitian Demon Kingdom is a tactic of mutual destruction. As long as the Holy Kingdom can be forced to open the abyss, it will be worth sacrificing as many people as possible. Once the power of the abyss is unleashed, After devouring the sacrifices prepared for it by the Jitian Demon Kingdom, the real army of the Demon Kingdom will arrive and crush everything in the Holy Kingdom without any effort."
"But..." Ding Lingxi originally wanted to ask, what if the Holy Kingdom doesn't open the abyss
But before she even asked the question, she had already thought of the answer.
If the Holy Kingdom does not open the abyss, it must abandon the border, end this meaningless war of attrition, allow the army of the Jitian Demon Kingdom to invade the territory, and set the location of the decisive battle within the huge territory of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
Isn't the reason why they are discussing here precisely because the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom has given up the power of the abyss
"This is an upright conspiracy. It is the chance of victory that the lunatic Demon Emperor won by gambling on the fate of a country."
Mu Hongxiu glanced at Ling'er with admiration, and then concluded: "Whether you choose to fight at the border, or give up on the border, or even open the supreme power of the abyss, letting its anger devour hundreds of thousands of Demon Kingdom soldiers. This In the battle on the sidelines, the Holy Kingdom has already lost."
After a pause, Mu Hongxiu squinted her eyes and said in a deep voice: "A complete defeat!"
"So, the key to breaking the situation is to force the Jitian Demon Kingdom to move the location of the decisive battle, and give the last bit of 'balance' to this inherently unfair war."
Ling'er glanced at Daxue State on the map and sighed.
