In the court hall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the atmosphere began to become strange.
Officials directly under the Western Zhou Dynasty have said that peace talks should be held. This matter has nothing to do with us from beginning to end, and our losses have been heavy enough. Sixty percent of the empire's gods have died! Now people's hearts are unsettled.
If the fight continues, the country will be destroyed.
So, no more fighting!
But those officials controlled by the Twelve Families all said: We must fight to the end! The enemy must be tired. Maybe we just need to hold on.
Not to mention, a large number of masters in the divine transformation stage from the Morning Earth Continent further east are about to arrive. Although the legion cannot pass the sea blockade, the masters have come. After two months of preparation, the Morning Earth Continent has supported a total of 10
The Divine Era of All Transformations!
One hundred thousand, the divine transformation stage!
Is this number enough?
Next to them, the representatives of the twelve families looked ugly and cold. The Western Zhou Dynasty actually wanted peace talks? What was it doing? Was it an opportunity to get rid of control?
What the prime minister said was a secret order from the emperor, right?
Zhuge Shao's expression was even more stern. You said that we are currently fighting. If your Western Zhou Dynasty negotiates peace, then the next one Dayang Group will have to deal with is us.
To be honest, the Qinglong family was also a little shocked when the war reached this level.
While Zhuge Shao was thinking, he heard Taiwei Mu Minghe chuckle: "How long is one hundred thousand divine transformation periods? Also, if it was ten years ago, one hundred thousand divine transformation periods would be enough to control the entire world. But now, it is no longer possible.
According to our statistics, in the past two months, Dayang Group alone has recruited 10,000 people from the local Nascent Soul peak stage and trained them to become gods.
In addition, West Kunlun and the strategic alliance where West Kunlun is located have recruited and surrendered the real gods, that is, casual cultivators, representatives of families, leaders of small sects, etc., there are thousands of them. And they have recruited and surrendered.
At the Nascent Soul stage, it is probably more than 200,000.
At least 30,000 of them were trained to reach the stage of transformation into gods.
Then there is the Liang Dynasty in the East and the so-called strategic alliance. The number of surrendered and newly cultivated gods is no less than 50,000.
Coupled with the original divine transformation stage of the Western invading army, the total number of divine transformation stages of the invading army now is about 150,000, or even more!
In fact, until now, the war has been fought almost exclusively during the Transformation Stage. Ordinary soldiers are only consolidating the occupied areas."
The emperor sighed slightly and rubbed his brows. The current situation of the war is really unbelievable. The war has started until now, and all the battlefields are in the transformation stage.
In addition, all kinds of crazy military weapons have also appeared one after another. The Ocean Group has the second generation thunder cannon and metal giant (mecha); the other holy places are not to be outdone, and they have built even more crazy armored weapons.
Carts, ballistas, etc.
The Western Legion, which has the technological advantage, is constantly increasing its advantages. In contrast, the situation in the East is becoming increasingly corrupt.
The Twelve Families have not used their core methods until now. Obviously, the Twelve Families also want to take the opportunity to weaken each empire.
The emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty certainly understood the problem. What was before him now was a very difficult choice.
If we continue to fight, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses; the Western Allied Forces are beyond imagination. And if we continue to fight like this, once the power accumulated in the past hundred years of the Western Zhou Dynasty is exhausted, it will never be able to escape the control of the Twelve Families.
But if you choose peace talks, you will definitely offend the Twelve Families. If the Western Allied Forces leave in the end, or even lose the war, the Twelve Families will definitely settle the score. The Twelve Families are very familiar with the matter of cleaning up the royal family!
At this time, the great emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty was a little resentful of the Dayang Group - why did you come to attack Haojing? Didn't you declare war on the Qinglong family?
Starting from Dragon Wilderness, the distance to Haojing is almost as different as the distance to Wolong Mountain of the Qinglong family. As a result, Dayang Group's attack direction went straight to Haojing without any turns along the way!
There was a long discussion in the court, but in the end no agreement could be reached.
At this time, Shi Quanhai, one of the three princes, the Yushi doctor, spoke: "How about we not resist? Our losses are too great now, and the soldiers do not want to fight; once the battle is over, the consequences will be disastrous. But if we surrender directly, there is also a possibility
Damage His Majesty's reputation.
Therefore, I suggest that we inform Dayang Group that we welcome them as guests. To show our sincerity, we will withdraw the surrounding troops.
I think based on Dayang Group’s performance along the way, they probably won’t do anything too extreme.”
Upon hearing Shi Quanhai's words, the Emperor's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but nod slightly.
Along the way, Dayang Group has done many things that are commendable. For example, Dayang Group did fight openly and honestly; there are military strategies, but there are absolutely no cunning and cunning methods.
Also, an important reason for the failure of the Twelve Families' strategy was that after the Ocean Group directly intervened in the war, it discouraged the coalition's looting methods and instead actively cooperated with local forces. This led to the current situation.
It's just that the Emperor still can't figure out why the Dayang Group's attack went straight to Hao Jing?
However, this does not prevent the emperor from making a decision of 'no resistance' now.
Next to them, the representatives of the Twelve Families, especially Zhuge Shao of the Qinglong Family, looked so gloomy that they could shed tears! Although the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty did not have peace talks with Dayang Group, he obviously gave up at the last moment.
But the emperor looked at the representatives of the twelve families with dissatisfaction. It's already here, where are your reinforcements? Why, you have all fallen behind, it's okay for us to be lazy!
Hum, as long as we give up resistance, the Dayang Group has no reason to massacre the city, etc. In this way, the royal family and official system of the Western Zhou Dynasty will be preserved, and the notices of the Western Zhou Dynasty will also be preserved. And the Dayang Group should not kill everyone, because that is obviously not in line with the Dayang Group
Performance along the way.
After the meeting dispersed, the emperor immediately sent an envoy to go three hundred kilometers away with his own handwritten letter, and personally delivered the letter to Murong Shan. Then, he waited for Murong Shan's response.
Murong Shan was stunned when he received this letter. I was already prepared for a full-scale attack on the city, but they opened the city gates to welcome me and rewarded the troops!
It's hard for me to start with you.
However, Murong Shan could not make the decision on such an important matter, so he still asked Zhang Hao via telegram.
After a while, Zhang Hao responded: Temporarily station, consolidate the occupied area, and ensure that the rear is safe; in the next few days, I will go to the east in person.
Mr. Zhang wants to come in person?
Murong Shan was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while and nodded slowly. He could probably understand Zhang Hao's decision. Also, with the war reaching this point, Zhang Hao needed to step forward to determine his influence and international status.
!
Zhang Hao comes over and will have a meeting between kings. The ‘king’ Zhang Hao wants to meet is not the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the head of the Qinglong family!
This meeting will be a battle for world dominance!
Zhang Hao needs to personally take over this honor, and no one can replace it.
But on the other hand, Murong Shan also understands Zhang Hao's instructions - the next will be a duel between kings, and the stability of the rear is very important. Maybe if you are not careful, a decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of gods will break out. That is absolutely
It's earth-shattering.
Before the real decisive battle comes, everything needs to be sorted out!
However, the news that Zhang Hao is coming cannot be made public for the time being. Murong Shan thought for a while and wrote a reply to the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty: Since the Emperor is so sincere, we will be disrespectful; we will not go into the city to disturb, but please send the supplies to reward the army.
come on!
The envoy took the letter but did not leave. Instead, he asked Murong Shan's soldiers to ask: Didn't you declare war on the Qinglong family? Why did you attack Haojing? What did we do wrong?
Murong Shan chuckled after hearing what the soldiers told him, "Go and tell him that if the Western Zhou Dynasty is willing to sign a peace agreement, we will let the Western Zhou Dynasty go. Otherwise, we will clear the battlefield before the decisive battle!"
Yes, we are just here to clear the place - this was Murong Shan's reply to the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
But in fact, there were deeper considerations behind the attack on Haojing. For example, now, the Dayang Group's attack directly caused a rift between the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Twelve Families.
Haojing is different from the headquarters of the Twelve Families. The defense here is obviously not as good as it is. The Dayang Group attacks Haojing. If the Twelve Families come to the rescue, they will suffer heavy losses. If they don't come, that's better, so that the Twelve Families can be strengthened.
and the rift with the home country.
The Dayang Group attacked Hao Jing, but also tortured the Qinglong family from a spiritual level: Do you want to save him or not?
There is a saying in the art of war: attack the heart first!
When Murong Shan attacked Hao Jing, he was attacking the 'heart' of the Qinglong family!
In the evening, the Dayang Group and the Western Allied Forces began to station themselves on the spot and began to build forts; it seemed that they would no longer advance. The Western Zhou Dynasty also sent Prime Minister Chao Hanwen to reward the army with a large amount of supplies.
The supplies include food, chickens, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc., fine wine, spiritual stones and other basic supplies. The quantity is very large, which is almost 10% of Haojing's reserves.
Murong Shan personally received Chao Hanwen and received this batch of supplies. Of course, Murong Shan had people under his command to verify whether these supplies were poisonous or not.
Murong Shan hosted a banquet for Chao Hanwen in the camp.
Chao Hanwen was followed by a person who seemed not to want to let Chao Hanwen leave. Murong Shan understood at a glance that this was under the supervision of the Twelve Families.
But this is the camp of Dayang Group, and the Twelve Family’s eyesight is not easy to use. Murong Shan sneered: "Get out! The master is talking, why are you following me!"
"you……"
Immediately next to him, two masters of the late stage of divine transformation from the Dayang Group sneered, one on each side, grabbing the guy's arm and dragging him out.
As he was leaving, the man shouted: "Prime Minister, if you stay to eat, you are exceeding the rights your Majesty has given you!"
However, Murong Shan snorted: "Go back and tell your majesty that the prime minister has been detained by me. I will naturally put it back after verifying that there are no problems with all the supplies!"
Chao Hanwen stayed at Murong Mountain for more than two hours, and then left with his team escorting supplies after two hours. However, he did not go back completely empty-handed. There were more than 10,000 prisoners. These were those who were captured after defeat in the previous battle.
, the prisoners of the Western Zhou Dynasty, most of those who were released were nobles.
After Chao Hanwen returned, facing the emperor's inquiry (there were members of the Twelve Families nearby), he said: In order to thank His Majesty for the hospitality, Murong Shan said that he would release some of the prisoners; I have been talking about the prisoners for the past two hours.
The representatives of the Twelve Families frowned when they looked at the darkness outside the main hall and the released prisoners. Obviously, everyone would not believe that Chao Hanwen didn't talk about anything else. But if Chao Hanwen didn't say anything, everyone couldn't torture him severely.
For five consecutive days after that, Dayang Group and the coalition forces never made any further progress, and instead built defensive fortresses.
The Qinglong family and Zhuge Shao have also stabilized. All the hundred thousand gods from the Morning Earth Continent have arrived and are now living in the towns around the Qinglong family and Wolong Mountain.
The Qinglong family is now preparing for war with all its strength, and the clan elders in the family who have been in retreat have been awakened one after another. Some of these clan elders are eight hundred or even nine hundred years old. Their cultivation may not have broken through to the Dharma form, but they have reached the stage of divine transformation.
Dzogchen. These people are the confidence of the Twelve Families.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, this kind of Dzogchen Dzogchen is already a master in the realm of Dharma - this is the master who surpassed the realm of God in the past.
But the Qinglong family saw that Dayang Group had not made any move for five days, and they were not sure what Dayang Group was going to do for a while. To be honest, the battles in the past two months have made everyone feel inexplicably wary of Dayang Group.
Even unspeakable fear!
Just as the representatives of the Twelve Families were deep in thought, a group of flying boats from the west fell into the Ocean Group's camp.
Murong Shan led a large number of masters of spiritual transformation and even generals from strategic alliances to greet him.
Under the protection of Fu Yun and several other experts, Zhang Hao slowly stepped off the flying boat.
"This is Zhang Hao!" Western Kunlun Northern Protector Han Yanqiu looked at Zhang Hao with surprise in his eyes. The man in front of him was younger than expected. However, it was this young man who used his own power to move the world.
Now, he has come to the East in person. He wants to compete with the Dongfang family for hegemony. A Ocean Group that has been established for less than ten years wants to challenge the hegemony of the Twelve Dongfang families that have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years!
But what made Han Yanqiu even more vigilant was that the moment he saw Zhang Hao, he felt his heart twitching. It seemed that he saw a terrifying existence. And Zhang Hao had an indescribable domineering air, faint, but
But it’s like the power of God!
The feeling was like a rabbit seeing a tiger! Instead of seeing a ferocious wolf. It was the aura of a king.
Could it be that Zhang Hao's cultivation has surpassed the stage of becoming a god? Han Yanqiu's heart was beating wildly.
Zhang Hao walked slowly, looked at the people around him, and smiled lightly: "I'm sorry to bother you all. But for the next thing, I have to come here in person."
Han Yanqiu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Where can I meet Mr. Zhang? Han is very lucky; the officers and men of the armed forces have been looking forward to it for a long time. Mr. Zhang, please come in."
