In the dark room, Tianpeng stood in front of his desk with his head down and his eyes closed. This article was first published by...

He knew very well that just now, the decision he made was likely to push him and even the entire Tianhe naval army into the abyss.

But so what?

He has no other choice, a better choice.

That missed five years gave the demon a rare chance to breathe. He had already led to a mistake that could not lead to a second one.

A cool breeze rushes through the window frame, twitching the hair hanging from the forehead, turning the books on the table, and becoming the only monotonous sound in the room.

Tianfu walked out of the door and saw the situation inside. He was slightly stunned.

The Tianbing who was waiting beside him was about to speak, but saw Tianfu wave his hand to him and shut up knowingly.

Raising his legs, Tianfu crossed the threshold.

"Have you sent it away?" Tianpeng asked in a low voice.

"Send it away." Tianfu walked step by step to Tianpeng and whispered: "No swords and weapons were used. The general rolling the curtain asked Tianfu to ask the marshal to think twice before he could do it."

"Think three?" Tian Peng smiled snorted.

After two short sentences, there was endless silence.

After a long time, Tianpeng whispered: "If you have anything to ask, ask."

Tianfu looked at Tianpeng for a moment and hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and replied, "Tianfu has nothing to ask."

Tianpeng smiled and said, "Thank you."

"This is what Tianfu should do, the marshal doesn't need to say that." Tianfu bowed.

Looking at the simple figures left by the glimmer outside the house through the window lattice, Tianpeng said blankly: "He goes back, I'm afraid we won't be able to hire reinforcements in the future. Even the supplies will be cut off. There is a hungry tiger in front and no retreat behind. Put the entire army in danger. Do you think it's worth doing this?"

"The marshal thinks it is worth it, and Tianfu thinks it is worth it." Tianfu said.

The cool breeze penetrated from outside the house and swept through every corner of the room.

Tianpeng tightened his cloak slightly and still stood blankly. After a long time, he smiled faintly: "Thank you, thank you. But I am sorry for your trust. The ninety thousand army was defeated by Huaguo Mountain, and Tianheng died tragically. In the end, the entire Tianhe Water Army was in danger. If I hadn't insisted on attacking Huaguo Mountain, I might not have fallen into such a situation."

"It is honor, no, and no complaints," Tianfu whispered: "Didn't the marshal say it? 'We are paid by the Heavenly Court and enjoy the incense of the mortal world. If we can wear this armor, we must be worthy of the flag and do not just think about being out of the matter.' All soldiers of the army regard this sentence as their creed like Tianfu. Others can live without mercy. That is someone else's business. We are soldiers, so we should abide by the military's duties. We should guard the three realms and defend the heavenly court, and we cannot retreat even if we step away."

Tianpeng opened his eyes slightly and stared at Tianfu quietly.

"If the Marshal received the order to go to Lingxiao Palace this time, although the matter was not necessarily as bad as expected, the matter of entering Huaguo Mountain would have been postponed. The Huaguo Mountain has developed to its current situation in just ten years. If he is given a few more years, I am afraid..."

"You are the marshal and are willing to take the risk of 'rebating' for this. What are the doubts about our soldiers? Therefore, Tianfu has no questions to ask. Tianfu believes that there will be no questions to ask in the whole army."

Speaking of this, Tianfu knelt down on one knee and said aloud: "The situation facing the Marshal is facing, Tianfu cannot share. All Tianfu can do is believe. Even if the Marshal asks Tianfu to lead his troops to the Lingxiao Palace, Tianfu will never hesitate! Please don't worry about the Marshal."

After saying that, he punched the breastplate hard.

The sound of clanging iron armor echoed in the small room.

The moon passing through the clouds finally fully revealed its brilliance. The breeze swept by, and the green leaves on the branches outside the house swayed.

In the dark room, with the faint moonlight penetrated outside the room, Tianpeng's slightly red and blood-covered eyes reflected Tianfu's wrinkled face.

After a long time... he pursed his lips and clenched his teeth. Tianpeng finally squeezed out a smile and sighed: "Tianfu, am I stupid?"

"The Marshal is not stupid, but the world has changed. Too many people think they are so smart that truly smart people all look like fools."

...

At this time, the southern continent was in the central part of the continent.

A stream winds among the mountains.

The huge Bull Demon King knelt on the edge of the stream and held Qingshui with his hands with only four fingers, and sucked two puffs, then splashed the rest on his face.

After wiping his face, he panted and raised his head and stared blankly at the flowing clouds in the sky.

"In the end, I'm hiding in and out again..."

In the open space not far away beside him, countless monsters in broken armor were lying in a row, one by one listless.

These more than two thousand monsters are the last possessions of the Shuangyu Mountain forces.

Soon, a figure flew down from the clouds and fell steadily in front of the Bull Demon King.

"How is it?" asked Bull Demon King anxiously.

The Macaque King licked his dry lips and said, "The army is coming here, it seems that we have to transfer again."

"I want to transfer again?" The Demon King Peng, who was leaning against the shade of the tree, was so shocked that he stood up, as if he accidentally teared the wound, and his facial features suddenly twisted into a ball.

The sitting dragon demon king sighed and stood up slowly, shook his robe and said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid there will be no need to transfer it if you transfer it a few more times."

"What do you mean by saying this?" The Demon Peng raised his head slightly and glanced at the Demon Dragon.

"Look at it yourself." The Dragon Demon King pointed to the ordinary monsters not far away and smiled sly: "When we just evacuated from Frostyu Mountain, we brought five thousand demons. After evacuating, we didn't fight in a battle. It's only a few days now, how many are left? Haha, we shouldn't have missed the opportunity to attack the Tianhe Water Army at the beginning. Unexpectedly, they recovered and not only did not leave, but continued to attack..."

The smile made the rest of the demon king stunned.

Is this guy sick? Is this a good thing worth being happy about?

"You!" The Demon Peng was furious and clenched his fists and shouted: "You agreed to give up the attack on the Tianhe Water Army. Now I want to change my words and make up the old accounts, right?"

After this roar, he was almost breathless.

Normally, his injuries should have been mostly healed, but unfortunately he has been changing these days and he has no time to recuperate. In the end, although he has the help of pills, his injuries have slightly worsened.

Of course, the more important reason is that when Xiao Bailong provides elixirs, quantity is the first priority, and most of the elixirs they get are elixirs that cannot be re-issued.

The Dragon Demon King stretched out his neck and glanced at the few drops of black blood that fell on the green grass in front of the Demon King Peng, and laughed: "When did I say I agree? At most, I didn't object."

"You--!" The Demon Peng was angry for a moment, and after holding it in for a long time, he said tremblingly: "Isn't my Dapeng the final decision? At that time... when I proposed it, you all agreed except the eldest brother. Do you want to rely on me now?"

Covering his chest, he raised his head for a while and couldn't breathe.

"I thought you and my fourth brother tried their best to not provoke the Tianhe River Army, and to compromise in order to avoid division! Why did it become..."

"Shut up—! Stop quarreling!" The Bull Demon King beside him roared: "Isn't it annoying enough now? Whoever quarrels in the future will get out of here!"

The two demon kings then looked at each other and stopped.

The six demon kings stayed quietly for a while, and the Bull Demon King held his breath and said sternly: "Lao Wu, you should watch tonight. If you encounter deserters, you will be arrested and beheaded tomorrow! I think who else dares to escape!"

The Macaque King beat up the stick and immediately replied: "Okay."

The demon king of dragon pouted, "Actually, it's no wonder they are. You said, what's the future for following us? Such a large group of monsters, the Tianhe Water Army found them at will, and following us can only escape all the way. Instead of doing this, it's better to sneak away, which is much safer."

"That's right." The Macaque King thought for a moment, and jokingly held the stick, "It makes sense that you say that. Even I want to run away. Why don't I run away tonight while keeping the night away?"

The Bull Demon King raised his head and gave him a blank look, and said nothing.

The dragon demon king rubbed against the bull demon king again and said leisurely: "But I have a way to solve this problem."

Just as he was trying to show off, the Bull Demon King turned around and grabbed his collar and lifted it up: "Damn it, at this time, I'm still beating around the bush. If you have something to say, you can say something and let it go!"

"Brother! Don't! Brother, let me down first! Let me down..."

The demon kings around couldn't help but laugh, making the dragon demon king blush.

After finishing his clothes, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Actually, the monsters escaped, mainly because they had no hope after following us. So we might as well give them some hope."

"Can you please tell me the key point?" Bull Demon King shouted angrily.

The Dragon Demon King nodded quickly and said, "We told them that we will go to support Huaguo Mountain, and we will have a happy life when we arrive at Huaguo Mountain."

As soon as these words came out, all the demon kings looked at him.

The Dragon Demon King said he wanted to support Huaguo Mountain, which is a rare thing. Could it be that he really scared the Tianhe Water Army?

"Just this thing before, can someone accept us?" The Macaque King snorted and smiled.

After waved his hand, the Dragon Demon King looked at the demon group in the distance and lowered his voice, "Let's just say that you don't really do this. Let's tell them to go to Huaguo Mountain, and then take them around with them on the excuse of avoiding the Tianhe Water Army. Anyway, the Tianhe Water Army fleet is not as fast as we can catch up with us. Why don't we have the final say? As long as we go east in general, we can go around him for a year and a half, and the battle of Huaguo Mountain should have been over."

Suddenly, all the demon kings were moved.

"If Huaguoshan wins, how can the Tianhe Water Army have no time to care about our nothing? If Tianhe Water Army wins, we will disperse and hide wherever we should hide. Do you think this is the reason?" (To be continued...)
