To the east of the Stormy Sea, on an unknown island.
Thousand-year-old trees open like a big umbrella, blocking out the scorching sun.
Under the tree, two gray-haired old men sat opposite each other on both sides of the stone table, playing chess with their hands.
The old man on the left is wearing a golden robe, a jade crown on his head, his face is like jade, and he is bathed in a calm and powerful aura.
The old man on the right is wearing a patched gray linen shirt, his hair is scattered, and he looks unkempt.
The two of them were sitting together, somewhat incompatible, but neither of them cared about it and just looked at the chessboard intently.
While the two were playing chess, a young man with a long sword hanging on his waist walked slowly over. He did not approach the two old men, but stopped outside the shadow of the ancient tree and waited quietly.
It took a long time until the old man in golden clothes scattered the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard and said: "You win."
"Haha, I haven't seen you for thirty years, and your chess skills haven't improved at all!" The commoner old man laughed heartily.
"I can't help it, I'm not as free as you!" The old man in golden clothes shook his head slightly while stroking his long beard.
The old man in cloth clothes raised his head and glanced at him with deep eyes, "Leave fame and fortune behind, and you can still relax."
When the old man in brocade heard this, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Leave fame and fortune behind!
It's easy to say, but really hard to do.
"I'm not as free and easy as you!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the young man in the distance and asked, "What's the matter?"
The young man stepped forward, bowed and replied: "In the battle of Whale Shark Island, the Sky Alliance won. Chu Jin, the Broken Sword of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, was killed by Dali Sword Saint Wuming's sword."
When the two old men heard this, they both had surprised looks in their eyes.
"Is it really surprising that Chu Jindu was killed?" the old man in Jinyi said in surprise.
"I told him a long time ago not to look down on people in the world! He is too arrogant!" The old man in commoner clothes shook his head slightly and said with some regret.
"Trouble!" the old man in Jinyi said thoughtfully.
The commoner old man chuckled lightly, stroking his sparse beard and said, "What's the trouble?"
"The Sky Alliance will rise strongly, which is not a good thing for the entire western sea area!"
"It is not the Sky Alliance that has risen, but the Dali Dynasty!" the old man in cloth clothes said with a hint.
When the old man in brocade clothes heard this, his expression moved slightly.
The Sky Alliance and the Dali Dynasty are completely different concepts. Although the Dali Dynasty is also a member of the Sky Alliance, the two cannot be generalized.
"you mean?"
The commoner old man smiled and said: "I am just an idle man in the mountains, and I don't care about these things!"
"That's not okay, you can't leave this western sea alone!" The old man in Jinyi said seriously.
Hearing this, the commoner old man laughed heartily, "You, you, are still such a scoundrel!"
"I can't help it. Apart from you, I really can't find anyone else to make the decision!" The old man in brocade clothes didn't care at all about the old man in common clothes' laughter and scolding.
The commoner old man thought for a while and said: "The Giant Spirit Dynasty has been in existence for three thousand years!"
The old man in brocade clothes was startled for a moment, then sighed: "Yes, it's been three thousand years!"
"Three thousand years is a hurdle. If you can't get over it, the Giant Spirit Dynasty will lose all opportunities!" the old man in cloth said sadly.
"You mean the Giant Spirit Dynasty is in danger of collapse this time?"
The commoner old man played with the chess pieces in one hand and said calmly: "Isn't this obvious?"
The old man in brocade clothes fell into deep thought. He stroked his long beard and looked at the chaotic chess pieces on the chessboard with his eyes like torches.
"The Shenglan Dynasty is going through a tribulation! The Giant Spirit Dynasty is also going through a tribulation! Whether they can make it through depends on their luck!" The voice of the old man in cloth became melodious.
He continued: "It's a pity that the Giant Spirit Royal Family simply doesn't understand the importance of overcoming the tribulation!"
"Their downfall has long been doomed!"
The old man in Jinyi took a deep breath and said: "Then we have to give up the Giant Spirit Dynasty!"
"But the western sea requires three dynasties!" The commoner old man looked at him with a smile.
"Dali Dynasty!" said the old man in Jinyi.
"Dali is too young!" said the commoner old man.
"When they destroy the Giant Spirit Dynasty, they will be qualified!" The old man in brocade clothes said calmly.
It seems that in his eyes, the Giant Spirit Dynasty is a dispensable existence, and destroying the Giant Spirit Dynasty is just a trivial matter.
The commoner old man reached out and knocked on the chessboard, with a smile on his old face.
"Do you think they can do it?"
The old man in Jinyi seemed to have made some kind of decision and said: "I can help them!"
"This violates the rules of the temple!" said the commoner old man.
"If I were to do this in other places, I would be in trouble, but in the western sea, doing this will not have any impact on me!" said the old man in Jinyi.
"You are still so bold!" The commoner old man shook his head slightly and said, "I suggest you not to interfere!"
"But if Dali cannot rise, the balance of the western sea will be broken!" The old man in Jinyi frowned.
"Every dynasty has its own destiny. If you interfere, it will only cause unnecessary trouble."
"Maybe I'm part of this destiny too!"
Looking at the insistent old man in Jinyi, the old man in commoner clothes narrowed his deep eyes slightly, "Don't you understand yet?"
The old man in golden clothes stared at him for a long time before he suddenly realized.
"I understand!"
"Hahaha~~"
"Old guy, it turns out you're not really free either!"
Seeing him like this, the old man in civilian clothes paused for a moment, "There is no way, everyone has personal feelings!"
"So you have already bet on Dali Dynasty?" The old man in Jinyi looked at him with interest.
He wanted to know what mark this old friend would leave on Dali Dynasty.
"No, it's just a little intersection by chance!" said the commoner old man.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the old man in Jinyi didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that although his old friend looked slovenly on the surface, he had a very deep mind.
"That's all, that's all. Since you've already taken action, I don't care anymore!"
"It's just a good time to have some free time!"
But the commoner old man said: "I need you to do me a favor!"
"What's the rush?"
"Meet His Majesty the Li Emperor!"
The old man in Jinyi looked at him in surprise, "You want me to go?"
"No?"
"It's not impossible, but why should I go?"
"Because you are from the Temple of All Kings!" the commoner old man said matter-of-factly.
But the old man in Jinyi didn't understand his intention, "So what?"
"Have you forgotten your responsibilities? Dali can rise, but the Sky Alliance can no longer expand!" the common man said calmly.
The old man in Jinyi paused slightly while stroking his beard, "Hey, I'm so stupid, I forgot about this!"
"I really should go see His Majesty the Li Emperor!"
The commoner old man nodded.
He asked the old man in Jinyi to go just to warn the Dali Dynasty.
Dali can rise, but the Sky Alliance can no longer expand!
Because the western sea area can accommodate a Dali Dynasty, but it cannot accommodate a larger alliance.
There is only one most powerful alliance in the Qiongtian Sea, and that is the Temple of All Kings.
…
Whale Shark Island.
With Hou Yunrui's death, this war has completely come to an end.
There wasn't much bullying for the rest of the battle.
As the Sky Alliance, the Huangyu Ji clan and the Daye Dynasty's armies joined the battlefield one after another, the Giant Spirit Dynasty's expeditionary force and Whale Shark Island gradually entered the end of destruction.
On the battlefield thousands of miles away, after the coalition forces of Dali and the Hundred Star Dynasty launched a counterattack, they also won consecutive battles.
The counterattack lasted for three days and three nights. When all the fighting was over, except for a small number of the Djinn Dynasty's expeditionary force that escaped, most of the troops were sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Wanhuang 2407, August 20th.
The war that lasted for one and a half months was finally over.
One and a half months seems to be a short period, but more than three million soldiers from both sides were buried in the sea.
But no matter what, the Sky Alliance will win the final victory in this battle, and Dali will use this battle to achieve great fame.
After the war, Dali's strength could no longer be hidden.
All the forces paying attention to this battle know that Dali has four strong men at the fourth level of the Divine Realm, and among them there is also a swordsman named Wuming who can defeat the Broken Sword Chu Jin with one sword.
In just a few days, the rumors about Dali and the Sword Master Wuming spread throughout the Stormy Sea and spread to other sea areas.
Saint Yuan Island.
In the ancestral hall of the Huang family.
Several clan elders gathered here, and the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.
"We made the wrong choice!"
Someone said helplessly.
The Shengyuan Huang Clan has the same status as the Huangyu Ji Clan in the Turbulent Sea, and their strengths are similar.
But this time, the Huangyu Ji family firmly stood on the side of the Sky Alliance, while the Shengyuan Huang family has been wavering.
Needless to say, the result is that in the future, the Huangyu Ji clan will definitely become a member of the Sky Alliance, and the Shengyuan Huang clan will have to pay a high price if they want to integrate into the Sky Alliance.
As for not joining the Sky Alliance, it doesn't matter if they don't join.
After this battle, all the forces in the Turbulent Sea have learned about the strength of the Sky Alliance and Dali. It can be predicted that many forces will join the Sky Alliance in the future.
If the Saint Yuan Huang Clan does not join by then, they will become the target of suppression by all forces.
Huang Zhenyuan, the ancestor of the Huang family, frowned.
"His Majesty Li Huang is at Whale Shark Island now, so prepare a generous gift to send over first!"
He said in a deep voice.
At this time, the only thing he was glad about was that they did not choose to support the Djinn Dynasty.
As for giving gifts, it is just to show their attitude.
…
Djinn Kyoto.
When the news of the stormy waters came back, the entire Giant Spirit Hall was shaken.
The Giant Spirit Dynasty is powerful, but with a million troops plus many powerful men from the Silent Light Realm and three powerful men from the fourth level of the Divine Realm, such a loss is already considered a crippling injury.
In the palace hall.
The Giant Spirit Emperor looked down at the courtiers below with a livid face.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
The Giant Spirit Dynasty and the Dai Viet Dynasty have not suffered such huge losses in the ten years of war. Unexpectedly, the war with the Sky Alliance has already reached the point of damaging the foundation of the dynasty in just over a month.
How could this make the Giant Spirit Emperor not angry?
All the ministers in the palace were silent.
Any ideas?
There are so many ideas!
What they want to know most now is why the Sky Alliance is so powerful? Why does the Dali Dynasty have four strong men at the fourth level of the divine realm?
And will they continue to fight against the Sky Alliance in the future?
If the war continues, will there still be such a result?
Moreover, they have not solved the problem of the Dai Viet Dynasty yet. If they continue to go to war with the Sky Alliance, can the Giant Spirit Dynasty persist?
The ministers had many thoughts in their minds, but no one dared to speak out.
"What? They're all mute!" the Giant Spirit Emperor roared angrily.
Everyone was trembling.
"Luo Zheng, you are the prime minister, tell me!" The Giant Spirit Emperor saw that everyone was silent and could only name them.
Luo Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister proposed to ask the temple for support!"
The temple he is talking about is naturally the Temple of All Kings.
When the Giant Spirit Emperor heard this, his expression became even more ugly.
Please support the temple!
There are only three dynasties in the Western Sea that are members of the Ten Thousand Emperors Temple, namely the Juling Dynasty, the Shenglan Dynasty and the Daji Dynasty.
Asking for help from the temple means asking for help from Shenglan Dynasty and Daji Dynasty.
The dynasties outside the western sea area would not come across tens of thousands of miles of sea to help them.
Asking for help from the Shenglan Dynasty and the Daji Dynasty was such a shameful thing that the Giant Spirit Emperor was really unwilling to do.
"no!"
The Giant Spirit Emperor denied it.
"Then we can only temporarily have a truce with the Sky Alliance and deal with the Dayue Dynasty first!" Luo Zheng said again.
If they can easily get rid of the Sky Alliance, they naturally don't mind fighting on two fronts, but the problem now is that the strength of the Sky Alliance far exceeds their expectations. If they continue to fight on two fronts, no matter how strong the Giant Spirit Dynasty is,
Can't bear it.
The Giant Spirit Emperor closed his eyes slightly and leaned on the dragon chair.
Let’s make a truce with the Sky Alliance for now!
He was unwilling to do so.
However, as the war with the Sky Alliance continues, the Giant Spirit Dynasty cannot mobilize too many troops at this time.
The elite navy of the Djinn Dynasty has four million, of which one million are fighting against the Dai Viet Dynasty, and another million were lost to the Sky Alliance before. Now, the actual army that the Djinn Dynasty can use is only two million.
However, these two million people have to protect the territory of the Giant Spirit Dynasty and cannot be easily mobilized.
The territory of the Giant Spirit Dynasty radiates to the entire Giant Spirit Sea. Such a large territory has only two million naval guards, which is already dwarfed by comparison. If they are deployed again, there is no telling what chaos will happen.
"Expand the army!"
"Build another five million navy!"
The Giant Spirit Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and said with burning eyes.
"Your Majesty, the court currently does not have much money!" Luo Zheng said with some embarrassment.
"I will open the Spirit Emperor's treasure house!" the Giant Spirit Emperor said calmly.
In the past, the Giant Spirit Dynasty maintained a scale of four million navy, not because the Giant Spirit Dynasty could not afford more navy, but because the Giant Spirit Dynasty did not need it.
But now that the Giant Spirit Dynasty is facing the threat of the Sky Alliance, naturally it can no longer put that money in the treasury.
The court has no money, but the Giant Spirit Emperor has money.
The Giant Spirit Dynasty has been passed down for three thousand years, and the wealth accumulated in the Spirit Emperor's treasury is absolutely an astronomical figure.
As long as the Giant Spirit Emperor is willing, the wealth in the Spirit Emperor's treasury is enough, let alone building five million more naval forces, even if it is tens of millions of naval forces.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Luo Zheng bowed and said.
The Giant Spirit Emperor is willing to use the Spirit Emperor's treasury, what else can he say.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the ministers chanted in unison. (End of chapter)
