Brushing his shoulder, Zong Shou's face was full of helplessness.
This situation has been going on for several days. Now, his whole body has turned into a human-shaped electric baton that should not be approached by strangers. Ordinary clothes are instantly shattered when he wears them, and he doesn't know when he will get better.
The only good thing is that I rely on this tenth-level holy spirit body-training method. His physical strength increased from the previous 100,000 jins to 150,000 jins in one fell swoop, far exceeding the average martial arts master.
And if you cooperate with the true energy in your body, you can even defeat the four-line martial arts without relying on martial arts thoughts.
And at this moment, he was not the only one suffering from this torture.
Looking back, I saw Zong Yuan standing on the ground with a pale face. Clear arcs of electricity flashed across his body from time to time, blowing everything around him into pieces.
This guy is even more miserable than he is. He has no control over the electric current flowing around his body. So much so that even the dragon-horned winged horse couldn't carry it on his back, so he could only follow him to Hongcheng on foot.
With his mind slightly balanced, Zong Shouhui smiled, withdrew his attention, looked in front of him again and said: "Since it is said that Taoyun City is not bad compared to Taoyun City, then it is worse? I wonder if my fleet in Tianshan is as good as Taoyun City?" If Yuncheng fights with all his strength, what are the chances of winning?"
The person speaking next to him just now was named Gu Liekong, from the Eight Meridians of Xuanwu. He is the naval commander of Qiantian Mountain City. The leader of all four hundred cloud ships in Qiantian Mountain.
Basically, he is a very intelligent guy who also knows how to deal with the world. In a world where Zongshi Zongyang and others are fighting for power, they stay out of the trouble and protect themselves wisely.
When he returned to Qiantian Mountain City that night, the people who carried the spirit method, Kong Chaiyuan, and others gradually persuaded him, but this man was the first one. He turned over without hesitation and gave his full support.
There are not many Xuanwu experts who are proficient in Yunhai ship warfare in Qiantian Mountain City, and with the merit of supporting them, Zong Shou can only rely on them and double their credit. This person is even more of a key figure in this Yunhai Hunting.
At this moment, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy only frowned slightly and shook his head without hesitation: "There is not even half a chance of winning! Although the late king tried his best to build this fleet, it only took less than ten years for Qiantian Mountain to rise. , the foundation is far inferior. However, Taoyun City has been accumulated for generations, and has been established in the east and west regions for more than sixty years. Not only are the people under the rule extremely strong in martial arts, but almost everyone can sail a boat. Just There are as many as 30,000 ships parked outside the city. Some of them only need a few modifications to become cloud ships that can be used on the battlefield. If we really want to fight, Taoyun City's fleet masters are twice as powerful as our Qian Tianshan. Just a few Yue, can even summon six times as many cloud ships as our Qian Tianshan. Plus the vassal cities, it is definitely not something that Qian Tianshan can resist.
If your Majesty has such thoughts, it would be best to give them up as soon as possible. Zong Shou suddenly took a breath of cold air. He knew that Taoyun City was isolated overseas, so the fleet masters were extremely prosperous.
However, what he heard from Gu Liekong's mouth was far more horrifying than the data he had seen in those data files in the past few days.
The little thought that originally popped up in my mind immediately disappeared without a trace.
Zong Wei was actually able to fight against such a behemoth for ten years without falling behind with a newly built naval force. It is simply a miracle that the naval division of Gantian Mountain City has grown step by step to its current scale.
Fortunately, as far as he knew, many hidden sects in Qiantian Mountain encouraged the forces in various cities to go under the sea of clouds to kill the beasts and monsters. They strongly protected the fleets from all sides that went hunting.
At this time, Taoyun City, at least on the surface, will not be an enemy of Qiantian Mountain.
But I don’t know what kind of methods they will use in the dark.
Ren Bo warned that Taoyun City might join forces with Lieyan Mountain City and Yunxia Mountain City to hinder their trip to the Sea of Clouds. Most of them are not just speculations, but rather certain.
If this is the case, unfortunately, it would be a headache.
Now that he has become the leader of a country, he must first ensure that these forces under him can have enough to eat and not go hungry. You can get enough beast crystals to support your subordinates.
If this hunt comes back empty-handed, the entire Qiantian Mountain's power territory will probably fall apart immediately.
Sighing secretly, Zong Shou still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Just asking casually, don't take it seriously."
Seeing this Gu Liekong, as well as the naval commanders and generals around him, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Zong Shou frowned slightly again: "This time I will rule the cities under Tianshan, how many cloud ships will I send out? How many manpower will there be?"
"The total number should be less than two hundred, and there are only one hundred thousand soldiers capable of fighting."
There was clearly a hint of anger on Gu Liekong's face: "In previous years, it would have been at least a thousand ships! Since your Majesty succeeded to the throne, you have not temporarily regretted it, but have tried to shirk it in every possible way. It is really hateful."
Zong Shou immediately raised his eyebrows, understanding in his heart. The warships sent by these vassal cities are less than one-fifth of those in previous years. They obviously have the idea of retaining their strength, a typical suspicion of a master and a young country. He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "It seems that Gu was wrong. If it were Zongshi, even if he didn't have a thousand ships, he would probably be able to make up 800, right?"
When Gu Liekong heard the words, his face was filled with panic. He knelt down and said, "Why did your Majesty say this? Liekong can't speak. Please don't take it personally. Your Majesty was so wise and wise that day. I saw it with my own eyes." I may have some cleverness when I see Kouzongshi, but in terms of talent, he is not as good as you. These people are ignorant and will always regret it!"
Zong Shou laughed dumbly and waved his sleeves slightly, signaling Gu Lie to stand up.
He had already expected this in his heart, so he didn't care. There is no resentment or anger towards these vassal forces.
At his age, coupled with the previous rumors, it is no wonder that these people have doubts and have the idea of conserving their strength.
But that's fine, it can even be said that this situation is exactly what he wanted. There are fewer ships following the vassals, which means that fewer beast crystals will be distributed later.
The four hundred and fifty cloud ships, plus the fleet of Xuanshan City, are estimated to be in the thousands, which is almost enough for this trip.
Thinking of this, Zong Shou's mood improved and he smiled. Then I saw a group of people coming in a hurry not far away,
The leader is none other than Ren Bo. I don’t know why, but his complexion is ashen and extremely ugly. In addition to dozens of guards following behind him, there was also a group of people accompanying him. Judging from their clothing, they were probably not from Qian Tianshan.
Arriving in front of De Zongshou, Ren Bo saluted and pointed to a person beside him and said, "This is the envoy from Taoyun City in the West Sea. On the orders of the Lord of Taoyun City, he came to pay homage to the Lord."
Zong Shou's eyes immediately narrowed slightly. His pupils were bright and he looked at Ren Bo's side.
This man was dressed in a red robe, as if he were the official uniform of the Central Dynasty. There is a pattern of clouds and geese embroidered on the front of her body, and she looks arrogant.
Without saluting, he first looked at Zong Shou up and down, and then bowed in response: "Foreign Minister Lin Ji, I have met the Lord Zong Shou!"
Everyone around him suddenly looked angry. They each stared at Lin Ji with murderous intent. Zong Yuan took a step forward with his sword in hand. A fierce thought rushed away faintly.
Lin Ji didn't care at all, he looked calm and composed. Even in a head-on confrontation with Zong Yuan, he didn't fall behind.
Zong Shou laughed and didn't want to talk to this guy at all. He turned around and left, leaving the envoys of Taoyun City behind.
Lin Ji didn't care at first, until Zong Shou's figure gradually moved away, with no intention of looking back. Then his eyes narrowed and he spoke loudly: "Lin Ji came under the order of my king and has something to tell the city lord.
Ten days ago, we, Taoyun City, had made an alliance with Lieyan and Yunxia cities, agreeing to join forces to go to the sea of clouds within the next few days. If the Ergan Tianshan Mountains also want to join forces, they can give up half of Xiyun Province and share it among our three families! "
The corners of Zong Shou's lips suddenly twitched slightly, and today he finally learned what it means to be a lion with his mouth wide open, and what it means to overestimate one's capabilities. This bamboo stick is really banging, and with empty words, he is planning to seize half of his province.
He didn't even bother to think about scolding and yelling, and still walked towards the distance without stopping.
However, Lin Ji behind him was still unyielding and snorted coldly: "I advise the Zongshou City Lord to think twice before giving up half of the province. It is better than leaving Tianshan City dead! The City Lord just can't bear to see what happens before it happens." Will the demon king’s foundation just disappear?”
Hearing the last sentence, Zong Shou finally frowned. There was nothing else, but this sentence really made him angry.
Gritting his teeth, Zong Shou turned around and smiled brightly. Just when Lin Ji had a hint of ridicule in his eyes, Zong Shou said with a straight face: "Kill all these guys naked and throw them outside the city. If there is resistance, kill them immediately! Remember , you must be naked!”
Lin Ji and the envoys from Taoyun City immediately turned pale. The principle of that sect was to smile and hold the purple thunder gun in his hand. After Gu Liekong was stunned for a moment, he took a step forward without much hesitation, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent.
Zong Shou was too lazy to pay attention to what was going on behind him, and turned to look at Ren Bo, who was accompanying him: "The Prime Minister is here, but the supplies have been prepared and ready to sail?"
"Finally, without paying your Majesty's entrustment, 13 million crossbow arrows will feed an army of 200,000 in April, 100,000 spare sets of armor and weapons, and 400 merchant ships with floating spiritual formations inscribed on them. And Your Majesty The three hundred and three-armed spiritual crossbows brought back can be loaded onto the twenty five-tooth cloud ships in just five days! There are also eight thousand second-level fire and thunder arrows ordered from the Kongqi Sect, and six thousand ice fire arrows. The arrows are arriving overnight, and they will arrive in five days. They are all large crossbow arrows, which can be used for three-armed spiritual crossbows. However, the words and attitude of the outer sect of the Kongqi Sect, Kei Shi, are quite strange. I hate you very much. I estimate that the quality of these arrows is not very good."
As Ren Bo spoke, he took out a list and handed it to Zong Shou. Then he carefully considered his words and advised: "Although the power of Taoyun City is not as good as mine in Qiantian Mountain, there are countless cloud ships and they dominate the sea of clouds. Even if the prince is not happy, there is no need to offend him too much." (To be continued)
