On the rough southern sea, Zhao Yuhang led the first detachment of the Atlantic Fleet to flee wildly. Behind him were overwhelming monsters.
No, it should be said to be the demon clan!
This time the fleet penetrated deep into the southern ocean of Maotu Continent and encountered the demon clan on a large island called "Zhuyazhou" in the south of Maotu Continent.
According to the markings on the map, Zhuyazhou sailed thousands of miles southeast and arrived at Fanghu Mountain. However, the fleet encountered unprecedented difficulties here in Zhuyazhou!
There are actually monsters here.
Compared with monsters, the monster clan has a complete social system. It has a monster king, monster generals, monster soldiers, etc.
Most demonic beasts have advantages over humans in terms of physique and size; especially their large size, which also makes the demon clan’s true essence (demon essence) strong and its defense powerful. And the demon clan, which combines these advantages, actually defeated a fleet at one time
Caught off guard.
Although the steel battleship is powerful, it can be directly crushed by a few monsters. But what if it encounters an overwhelming monster?
In a moment, two battleships have sunk, and the demon tribe is still chasing after them. There is no way, the demon tribe lacks spiritual materials, and now seeing a pile of steel floating on the sea, my eyes are red.
The fleet fled to the north. Zhao Yuhang calmly directed the warships to fight. Naval guns, ballistas, and even torpedoes continued one after another, but there were more monsters.
Dragons are nothing unusual. There are even real dragons. It is a red divine dragon. Its body that is a hundred meters long rises and falls slowly in the sky, but it bites the fleet tightly. The whole body is covered with burning flames. Flames
The light reflected half of the sky red.
Shenlong continued to send out long dragon roars, directing the attacks of countless monsters below. Under the command of Shenlong, the attacks of the monsters were coordinated properly, and their advance and retreat were well-founded. Dragons, shark dragons, snapping turtles, sea snakes, seals, ospreys, and even
The huge albatross, the sacred Qingluan, and even the tiger and leopard that can run on the sea.
These monsters include groups of small red fish. They are very small, but they cling to the surface of the battleship and eat the barrier. A small red fish may only be in the Golden Core stage, which is incomparable to the abilities of the early Nascent Soul stage, but these little
There are just too many things.
A large number of small red fish almost formed a red wave, rolling towards the battleship. Under the attack of these small red fish, the strength of the battleship's defensive barrier was reduced by 2% per hour; of course, there were spiritual stones on the battleship to replenish it.
Consumption, but this is not the solution.
The sky, the sea, and under the sea are all attacked by monsters.
Artillery, machine guns, crossbows, depth charges, torpedoes, etc. were fired one after another, but they could only temporarily ensure the safety of the battleship. Once all the supplies of the battleship were exhausted, the consequences would be disastrous.
"General!" An officer came to Zhao Yuhang's side, "Based on the current consumption rate, the machine gun can still last for 5 hours, the artillery can still last for 14 hours, and the crossbow can still last for 17 hours.
Depth charges and torpedoes combined can only last about six hours.
There are still a lot of spiritual stones left. Based on the current consumption, it will be no problem to hold on for 10 days.
As for the fuel, there is still about half of it left."
Zhao Yuhang thought for a moment, looking at the overwhelming monster beasts outside, then looking at the fire dragon in the sky, as well as the green luan, flying tiger, and even the huge nine-tailed fox surrounding the fire dragon, he gradually made a decision in his heart.
Zhao Yuhang said to Li Wei next to him and the representatives of the experts from various Holy Lands: "Everyone, there are too many monsters, and now the monsters seem to have learned to avoid them. We need to take some measures."
"Say it!" Li Wei said in a deep voice. The officer's report on the battleship situation just now also gave him a sense of urgency. Once the shells are exhausted, the consequences will be disastrous.
Facing the overwhelming monsters, everyone reacted quickly after initially panicking and began to calm down.
Although there are many monsters and beasts, there are also many at the level of gods. After all, this is the accumulation of the monster clan for countless years. However, the monster clan is a monster clan after all. It lacks spiritual weapons and magic weapons, and its combat methods are relatively simple, mainly close attacks.
.
The most important thing is that most of the demon clan's deity levels are concentrated at the low end, with very few mid-to-high-end ones. On the contrary, this is not the case in the fleet; the proportion of mid-to-high-end ones is much higher, and many of them have magical powers. Especially
He is a master of Dayang Group. He is full of magic weapons and has no shortage of money.
Zhao Yuhang looked at the monsters in the sky and calmly analyzed: "Currently, it seems that only by getting rid of the flame dragon in the sky can we truly neutralize the monsters' attacks. But this is not easy.
But we can follow the steps. First, we concentrate the firepower of the fleet. We use artillery, ballistae, etc. as cover to gain opportunities for the masters.
Then everyone rushed out of the battleship and quickly killed the monsters!
Right now, they are all monsters at the level of gods. If they can be killed, it will be a huge and unimaginable wealth!"
When it comes to wealth, everyone is jealous. Fighting without benefits is not very attractive. But with benefits, everything is easy to talk about!
Through telegrams, the fleet already knows what is happening in the rear. Now the Strategic Alliance and the Strategic Alliance are temporarily cooperating and preparing to jointly conquer the Kunlun Continent in the east. At this time, more resources are needed. And now, it seems that resources are available!
The flesh and blood of god-level monsters can be used to make elixirs and replenish qi and blood; the inner elixirs of monsters can be used to practice magical powers, and the bones and fur of monsters can be used to make magic weapons!
The most important thing is that if everyone doesn't make changes now, they may not be able to escape; it's better to work together to hunt down these monsters.
Everyone quickly made a distribution. The Dayang Group took 30% of the spoils, and the remaining 70% was divided according to the holy places of each party, including the Dayang Group's stage of transformation, and the subsequent battles and efforts.
Li Wei spoke on behalf of Dayang Group: "Dayang Group will deploy 50 people with magical powers, Shenlong, Qingluan, Feihu, etc. who are dedicated to staring at the sky, and are always ready to support all parties.
In addition, those with magical powers for long-range attacks are also welcome to join. Our goal is to contain the high-end power of the demon clan.
There are more than a dozen airships on the battleship that can be used. These airships are the best technology of Dayang Group and are at least one generation more advanced than the airships sold!"
"Sure enough, Dayang Group still has good things." Liang Chuan from the Tiandu Sect chuckled, seeming a little shameless.
Li Wei squinted and snorted, "Love will come or not. No, your cultivation has only returned to the late Nascent Soul stage now. You should stay on the boat honestly. The outside world is very dangerous. Don't be accidentally killed by monsters.
have eaten."
Liang Chuan: "..."
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble!" Experts from other Holy Lands hurried over to break up the fight. Everyone redistributed personnel, and the battle immediately changed.
The battleship no longer roared wildly, but began a planned attack to save ammunition. Once the monster was suppressed, the team in the transformation stage immediately rushed out. With the planned battle, the situation on both sides quickly changed.
The fleet no longer simply fled, but began to actively pursue.
Wisdom is the greatest advantage of humankind!
As for the small red fish and even more monsters around the battleship, they will be attacked by some relatively free periods of transformation, combined with depth bombs and other attacks.
The depth charges tore apart the monster's formation and defense. The master of transformation took the opportunity to freeze the monster and seal it. The sailors skillfully picked up the small red fish and packed them.
In the sky, hundreds of feet of sword light bloomed in Li Wei's hand, leading more than 80 people in the transformation stage with magical powers, preparing to slay the dragon. Although the dragon was powerful and there were many demon generals around it, it faced more than 80 masters.
A master with magical powers, but he could only roar again and again.
As a dragon, its flying ability, movement speed, flexibility, control of spells, body shape and true essence (demon essence), etc. can be said to be comprehensively superior to ordinary human cultivators. However, what if there is a group fight?
There are only eight monster beasts on the Flame Dragon's side, but there are more than eighty on Li Wei's side, one for every ten.
After fighting for a while, Shenlong, Qingluan, etc. were separated. Then, the situation changed again. Three or five people held back one monster beast, and the rest besieged one or two monster beasts.
Soon, Feihu, who was relatively clumsy, let out a death cry.
The monsters below wanted to support them, but were blocked by naval cannons, a large number of gods, etc.
Suddenly, a master from Dayang Group suddenly threw a rope; Feihu, who was covered in scars, did not escape and was tied up by the rope; the next moment, the rope directly circled Feihu's neck and tightened it.
"Woooo..." The tiger's roar turned into a low whine, and it felt the fear of death. As the rope tightened, more powerful forces cut off the connection between Feihu's spiritual consciousness and body.
Suddenly, a flash of sword light flashed, which was the sheen of magical power, and Feihu's head flew out directly.
As the first high-level demon general died, some of the tiger and leopard monsters that were fighting below suddenly let out a wail and began to flee in all directions.
War is totally tilted in human direction.
Upon seeing this, Shenlong roared angrily and recalled all the monsters. The sea quickly returned to calm; and the human masters did not dare to leave the battleship too far.
"Clean up the battlefield and count the spoils!" Zhao Yuhang calmly ordered. Although he had just broken through the divine transformation stage, on the sea, the fleet commander has absolute sovereignty.
On the sea, what the fleet commander needs is a calm mind and professional knowledge, not the cultivation of a master.
Zhao Yuhang explained this and immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of Dayang Group.
…………
Here at Dayang Group, Zhang Hao was communicating with the envoys from the Liang Dynasty from the east. This time the envoy from Liang Dynasty was Gao Shang. This was the second time Gao Shang came to Dayang Group. He was shocked by the rapid development of Dayang Group, and
It showed the Liang Dynasty's intention to form an alliance with the West and jointly fight against the Twelve Families in the East.
Zhang Hao was very cautious, "Master Gao, we are very happy to hear your decision. However, there is one thing we still have to be cautious about. Dongfang has been controlled by the Twelve Families for so long, how can we be sure that the Liang Dynasty is really here to form an alliance?
"
Gundam was not in a hurry, "I knew Mr. Zhang would ask this question. So, how about this?"
Godard Shang took out a total of 24 boxes from the storage ring, but saw that these one-foot-sized boxes had two lines of words written on them. The first line of words was a certain family, and the second line of words was the name.
Zhang Hao opened a box and took a breath of air. It was a human head. Zhang Hao didn't recognize the head in it, but through the breath identification, it was undoubtedly the head of a master of spiritual transformation, and it was not in the golden body realm, but a real one.
The stage of transformation!
In the true transformation stage, even now, he is still a very important and core figure.
Generally, those who rely on the technology to become a golden body can only be regarded as important personnel, but not core personnel.
Different from some lousy golden body realms, this kind of real masters in the divine transformation stage basically have names and surnames, and they can all be found.
A sad look flashed across Gaoshang's face: "In order to hunt these masters of the transformation stage, the Liang Dynasty paid a huge price. But the situation has forced us to do this.
You would never have imagined that the ‘Tiger Country’ in the north that invaded us was actually arranged by the Twelve Families.”
Zhang Hao frowned: "The conflict between Hufang and Liang Dynasty actually involves all twelve families?"
Anger flashed across Gautama's face, but his tone remained calm: "In order to maintain long-term prosperity, the Twelve Families must let their descendants accept the baptism of war.
However, where are there so many wars in this world? How much more can the descendants of the twelve families receive the baptism of war?
No!
Unless, take the initiative to provoke a war!
The descendants of the Twelve Families fought side by side in the same trench, established deep friendships, and maintained the common interests of the Twelve Families; and then went through the baptism of war to complete their growth!
This is how the Twelve Families complete the inheritance of their families by provoking war after war. On the surface, the wars in the Eastern countries have their own reasons, but in essence, almost all the Twelve Families are behind it."
Zhang Hao's eyes were a little deep, and he had a deeper understanding of the inheritance of the Twelve Families. But Zhang Hao still had questions: "I still have a question, since the war was initiated by the Twelve Families, and the Twelve Families
We are raising offspring again, so it is normal for there to be casualties, right?
I can even imagine that the Twelve Families have death indicators for their descendants!"
"That's right!" Gaota Shang nodded, "Mr. Zhang is wise, the twelve families do have death indicators. If a family wants to inherit, it must be ruthless to others, and it must also be ruthless to itself. Only by constantly pruning the dead branches and leaves can the family's survival be guaranteed.
Everlasting.
However, the death index is for the descendants of the Twelve Families, mainly those in the Nascent Soul stage and below. The descendants of the Twelve Families who participated in the war generally have cultivation levels from the late Golden Core stage to the late Yuanying stage.
Rather, the divine transformation stage!"
Having said this, Gundam paused for a moment: "By the way, Mr. Zhang, have you ever come across such an unspoken rule, which is the rule that "you cannot kill people at the Nascent Soul stage and below"?"
Zhang Hao nodded, "I have always thought this rule is very good. It has protected ordinary practitioners well and made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the world. I think that there are at least three reasons for this rule to make the world prosperous now.
Good job!
Because of this rule, many people in the transformation stage dare not blatantly plunder. Only many outstanding practitioners and rising stars dare to travel and practice with confidence!"
Gaoshang nodded, but there was a trace of ridicule in the corner of his mouth: "But Mr. Zhang may not know that the function of this rule is just incidental. Its essence is to protect the descendants and inheritance of the twelve families!"
"Um?"
Godard Shang said slowly: "Actually, the unspoken rule that the twelve families are not allowed to participate in the battles of ordinary people in the transformation stage was created by the Twelve Families. Of course, there is a side to protecting ordinary people, but that is just incidental. The real purpose
, in fact, it is to protect one’s own descendants!
During the war, the masters of the Twelve Families in the Divine Transformation Stage will secretly protect their descendants. Once outstanding descendants are in danger, they will intervene.
There are three main methods of intervention. The first is to let the elite reserve team attack, the second is to act as the Nascent Soul stage yourself, and the third is to intervene directly. However, the third method rarely happens unless it is an emergency.
And this time, we used this method to ambush the opponent's masters when fighting Hu Fang in the north. In fact, we killed the masters at the level of gods from Hu Fang, including those in the so-called golden body realm, no less than
The number is 2000. Among them, there may be 152 people who are in the true transformation stage, and there may be more now.
Among them, because of our deliberate ambush, we finally gathered the 24 heads in front of us!"
Then, Godard Shang sighed: "Actually, many countries are secretly hunting down the masters of the Twelve Families. However, they don't do much, and they don't dare to make it public.
We have taken considerable risks in order to win the trust of Dayang Group. Once this matter is made public and the Twelve Families understand that we intend to ambush their masters, then the Liang Dynasty will inevitably face joint sanctions from the Twelve Families!
Once the Twelve Families take action, I am afraid that all high-ranking officials above the third rank, as well as the royal family, will be killed."
Zhang Hao was really shocked by Gao Shang's words. After pondering for a while, he looked at the remaining 23 boxes that were not opened. Zhang Hao said slowly: "Sir Gao, we will investigate everything you said. Now
, I choose to believe in Liang Chao!
So, I wonder if Liang Chao wants to join the strategic alliance or join the strategic alliance? I can recommend it on your behalf."
Gundam was still a little dazed: "We want to form an alliance with Dayang Group!"
"No, no, no, Dayang Group is just a business group. How can it be qualified to form an alliance with a country?"
Gundam stared at Zhang Hao: You brag, you brag again! Although I have only been to Dayang Group twice, the entire known world is spreading the legend of your Dayang Group. I know your Dayang Group very well.
"Mr. Zhang!" Gaoshang's tone was a little solemn, "Mr. Zhang, our Liang Dynasty has shown such sincerity. Mr. Zhang should at least tell you one reason."
Zhang Hao stopped talking, pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "Isolationism!"
"Um?"
"What the Ocean Group implements is isolationism. The so-called isolationism is the non-alignment strategy. The existence of the Ocean Group is too special. If we lean towards any party, it may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Dayang Group pursues a non-alignment policy.
The only thing we communicate with the outside world is business. Even if we promote strategic alliances and cooperation this time, Dayang is only involved in business cooperation. Military plans, etc., are just to assist the development of business."
