Human nature is the most difficult thing to understand. No matter how powerful a writer you are, you can never completely understand human nature. A humble life like a bug may explode into something as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus rex in order to survive.
Power, and an extremely arrogant person, in order to survive, they can live like maggots, and two people with hatred, when necessary, can become friends, even closer than the best friends.
And friends, in the face of interests, are sometimes the first to stab you.
Zhao Hai has never believed in human nature, and he has never regarded hatred as the only thing he can use. That is impossible. In the face of huge interests, sometimes hatred really means nothing.
The people here in the secret realm hate the Holy Court, but this hatred is based on one basis, that is, the Holy Court does not let them go home and keeps them fighting for them here in the secret realm. These are the people of the anti-Sacred Court alliance who hate the Holy Court.
hospital reasons.
But sometimes this kind of hatred is really easy to resolve. For example, the Holy Court allows them to go home. Not only does it let them go home, it also provides support to their family, so that an ordinary family can become the lord of a city in a short time.
So will those people still hate them?
People who can enter the secret realm usually have a family behind them. Some of these families are big, some are small. It is difficult for people with truly miserable backgrounds and no background to enter the holy courtyard, let alone enter the secret realm.
, because those who have a miserable background have no worries, which means that it is not easy for the Holy Court to control them.
As for a person who has a family, then this person will generally put the interests of the family first. They have received this kind of education from the moment they were born. For the interests of the family, they can sacrifice themselves for the interests of the family.
In order to achieve their own interests, they can give up hatred and even become friends with their enemies and become their closest partners.
The same goes for the people in the secret realm. If the Holy Court can really support them, then they may really give up their hatred for the Holy Court. By that time, Zhao Hai and the others will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and the Holy Court will
There must be more Duanhe level masters there than there are in Zhao Hai's hands now. In this case, how could Zhao Hai fall out with the Holy Academy now? It's impossible, he doesn't have that kind of strength yet.
.
However, Zhao Hai's current arrangements are also very good. At least they now have nearly two thousand people, and these people should be loyal to him, because their families are now in the city-state of Ecstasy. In other words,
Their families are now under Zhao Hai's control.
Of course, Zhao Hai will not control their family members like the Holy Court does, but if necessary, those family members can also become chess pieces in Zhao Hai's hands.
Zhao Hai is not a kind person. He has gone through so many interfaces and slaughtered so many interfaces. He has encountered all kinds of things. Killing people is really not a big deal to him. The reason why he doesn’t want to
He killed so many people just because he didn't want to. There was no other way to restrain him.
This time Zhao Hai returned to the Ecstasy City State, but he didn't do anything because his arrangements had been completed before. Now it depends on how Nian Yijiu and the others go. If Nian Yijiu and the others are really as he thought
That way, what he has to do will be simple, just follow his plan step by step. Even if he has completed the plan, there are very few things that he really needs to direct.
The main reason Zhao Hai came back this time was to see how Shi Zhui and the others were doing. At the same time, he also planned to let some of the subordinates he had collected in the city-state of Ecstasy go to the secret realm to practice for a period of time.
The training environment in the Secret Realm is indeed much better than that in the Spirit Soldier World. The Wu Kong-level masters here in the Ecstasy City State are all Zhao Hai's slaves. They are the most loyal to Zhao Hai.
The reason is that he only trains those in the secret realm, but does not train his subordinates with all his heart. Isn’t that foolish behavior? So Zhao Hai wants to take some people into the secret realm to practice and see if they have any
Opportunity to hit the Broken River level.
To be honest, after staying in the cultivation world for a long time, Zhao Hai sometimes felt like he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the people here in the spirit world working hard to become Duanhe level masters.
The Duanhe level masters here in the soul world are really nothing if taken outside. Breaking through from Wukong level to Duanhe level does not require so much effort in the outside world. Maybe an ordinary pill.
It can be done, but here in the soul world, it has become more difficult than climbing to the sky. This makes Zhao Hai dumbfounded.
Zhao Hai believes that with the resources he has now, he can add a few more Duanhe level masters to the Ecstasy City State in a short period of time, because these Duanhe level masters are here in the Soul World or the Spirit Weapon World.
It may seem very mysterious, but in Zhao Hai's eyes, it is nothing.
Now Zhao Hai is dealing with these things, because there is a characteristic here in the city-state of Bewilderment. Those Wu Kong-level masters are not the city lords, but they also work in important positions in the city-state of Bewilderment. If you want to transfer them for training, it is not the same.
It's an easy thing, and they need to arrange their work well.
People from the outside will not know what is happening here in the City of Ecstasy. Even among the people in the City of Ecstasy, few people know about it, because Relatively speaking, the City of Ecstasy is too independent.
It is rare for other city-states to find out about the affairs of the Ecstasy City-State, because it is almost impossible for them to arrange spies in the Ecstasy City-State.
The city of Ecstasy won't attract people's attention, but what really attracts people's attention is Yalong City. The army has been assembled on the 19th of the year and is ready to set off at any time.
Naturally, it was impossible to hide Nian Yijiu's actions from the Holy Court. Moreover, the Holy Court had already known that they were going to attack Nanhua City-State, so the Holy Court was now well prepared.
After the army of Nian Yijiu was assembled, they were waiting for various supplies. However, in this matter, the city-states did not make it difficult for Nian Yijiu. After all, how much things each city-state should take. There was already a quota, no matter
There will be any quarrels.
On the 19th of the year, I discovered that maybe those previous regulations were not a bad thing. Now, people in various city-states can take out things so happily, not because of the proportional share. If there is no such proportional share, just let each city-state take out things so happily.
If the city-state takes out these things, I'm afraid they won't know how long the dispute will last.
The army is ready, and so are the Duanhe-level experts who accompany them. The supplies are also ready, everything is ready, and all that's left is to wait for the troops to be dispatched.
Finally, it was decided on the 19th day of the year to officially send out troops to worship heaven on the seventh day of August in the 12372nd year of the new spiritual army calendar. In the spiritual army world, the calendar originally used by people was the Tianjian Calendar, because
That was during the reign of the Heavenly Sword Empire. So people used the Heavenly Sword Calendar, but now they use the New Spiritual Soldier Calendar. This New Spiritual Soldier Calendar was the calendar that was only started to be used after the demise of the Heavenly Sword Empire.
It has been used for more than 10,000 years now.
The reason why this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is held on the ninth day of the year is because he wants to tell the people of the world that they are doing righteous things and they must first grasp the righteousness in their hands.
The ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven has been passed down since the days of the Sky Sword Empire. During the Sky Sword Empire, the king had to perform sacrifices to the heavens every day. According to legend, at that time, the offering of sacrifices to the heavens in the Sky Sword Empire was different from what it is now. At that time, the Heaven Sword Empire offered sacrifices to the heavens.
By offering sacrifices to heaven, the empire can truly communicate with heaven, and sometimes even get the will of heaven. But now, offering sacrifices to heaven is just a formality. Although some city lords of city-states will perform sacrifices to heaven every day, it is nothing more.
It's just a formality.
This time, the place where Nian Yijiu offered sacrifices to heaven was not at the Tian sacrifice platform in Yalong City, but on a high mountain outside Yalong City. In that high school, he performed sacrifices to heaven. Nian Yijiu led all the city-states
The leading generals all arrived on the mountain, where a sacrificial platform had been built on the mountain, and then they began to worship. At the same time, someone recited the sacrificial inscriptions. The general meaning is nothing more than that we people have been oppressed by the Holy Court for many years.
Today we are no longer oppressed by them. We must resist and overthrow the oppression of the Holy Court. I hope to receive blessings from God and wish us victory this time.
Anyway, that's what worshiping the heavens is like. The routine of worshiping the heavens every time is the same, and this time on the 19th of the New Year is no exception. But what a coincidence, just when they started to worship the heavens on the 19th of the year, a sudden rain fell from the mountain.
It started to rain, and lightning flashed and thundered at the same time. After reading the memorial text, the rain stopped, the wind stopped, and the sky cleared up. This time, it started to tremble on New Year's Day. In his opinion, this was God's recognition of him, and he was
Being ordered by God, he even spoke a lot louder.
Others also murmured in their hearts, could it be that heaven really blessed the year 19, otherwise why would this happen? Only Shi Zhui disagreed. For him, this is really nothing. In his heart, God only has
One, that is Zhao Hai, all other gods must step aside.
After the sacrifice to heaven was completed, the army set off. The number of the entire army was nearly more than 500,000. This action really felt a bit overwhelming. Looking at the army retreating in the distance, Nian Yijiu really felt a little complacent.
Before the army moved, the distribution had been made in Nian Yijiu. As expected, Shi Zhui and the others were appointed as the vanguard, consisting of the City of Ecstasy, the City of Stone Niu, the City of Luming, the City of Blood Knife, the City of Tiger Roar, and the Galloping Horse.
City-states, an army of nearly 100,000 composed of several city-states, were appointed as vanguards. This was expected by everyone.
The vanguard army is definitely the most dangerous existence in the entire army. The vanguard army not only has to do a good job of opening roads through mountains and building bridges when encountering water, but it is also the first army to come into contact with the enemy and the first to fight the enemy. Therefore, the vanguard army is
It is the most dangerous. When a general army goes out for an expedition, the vanguard army must be elite, because the vanguard army not only has to fight the enemy, but also needs to defeat it. Only victory will not affect the morale of the army. Therefore, the general vanguard generals
He is a brave general.
The army moved forward slowly. Shi Zhui sat on a horse with a calm expression. Generals from several other city states were beside him. The army was just moving forward now and had not left Yalong City State. It was absolutely safe here.
, they can also get together to chat and discuss how to prepare for the next war.
The leading general of the Stone Niu City State looked ahead and said in a deep voice: "Damn, Nian Yijiu, this grandson, I think he did it on purpose. He asked us to be the vanguard. We had to give him his first order."
Face, I really want to curse you."
The expressions on the other people's faces were not very good either. Shi Chui glanced at them, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, this is what I expected. We can actually object to the first order of Nian 19th.
Why give him face? He won't give us money, but there is no need. Nanhua City State is now on the defensive. In other words, we will not encounter any attacks along the way. It is very safe. We
All we need to do is to build a road. After all, this road doesn’t need to be built. The road we are taking now is the official road of Yalong City State, and there is no need to build any road at all. When we get to Nanhua City State, we will
It’s time to set up camp. Nian Yijiu didn’t say that we had to attack. To be honest, even if we wanted to attack then, Nian Yijiu might not agree. He was worried that we would capture the city of Nanhua City-State.
, by then we will not only have merit, but also get a lot of benefits. How could Nian Yijiu agree? So I think Nian Yijiu is going to let us do some dirty work now, but when it comes to the actual war,
They won't let us in, and if we only do these tasks, the credit will naturally be small. If they really conquer the city, then we will get the least amount of things."
Hearing what Shi Chui said, several people couldn't help but be startled, and then their expressions changed. The leading general of Luming City State said solemnly: "What should we do? Then if we come out this time, won't we waste money and food in vain?
"They are all leaders of the army. Naturally, they know very well that when a large army goes out for an expedition, even if there is no battle, the amount of food and fodder required is very staggering. Everyone wants to make great contributions in the war and then get some good things. In this way
It can make up for the loss in food and grass. If they are not allowed to fight during the war in Nian Yijiu, then they will have no chance to make meritorious service. Then they will really only waste food and grass this time, and they will not benefit at all.
Nothing can be obtained.
Shi Chui smiled and said: "What's so great about this? We have a lot of food and grass and can afford to consume it. Do you really think that this war is so bellicose? Don't worry, they want to take over the city-state of Nanhua on New Year's Day.
It’s not that easy. The Holy Court may have known Nian Yijiu’s offensive intention for a long time. If Nian Yijiu goes up this time, he will just hit the iron plate.”
When the people around him heard what Shi Chui said, they all cheered up. The leading general of Tiger Roar City State said solemnly: "If Nian Yijiu loses, then he will most likely let us go to war in order to consume our strength.
,What should we do by then?”
Shi Chui smiled and said: "If he asks us to go to war, are we going to go to war? Have you forgotten that if the five city lords object, his order will be invalid? Hahaha, we can go to war when the time comes, but we won't
We will fight according to the requirements of Nian 19. How we fight and where we fight are all up to us."
