After Xiao Kaitian thought about the request made by Zhao Qixi, he did not refuse, but he placed it by his side. The situation on the battlefield changed. Although Zhao Qixi was the "god" mentioned by the ancient soul consciousness, his combat effectiveness in reality was not
If you are not strong, you will definitely fall into the battlefield.
Just as Xiao Kaitian expected, he kept delaying his stance, gradually forcing various forces in the cultivation world to make direct and indirect choices between future exploration and Wei.
On the Wei side, the main supporting forces that emerged were the Wu State and the current democratic countries.
As for Xiao Kaitian and the Shu Kingdom, the other main supporting forces are surprisingly the vast majority of city-states in the free country.
It is not because Xiao Kaitian turned the free country upside down that these people are afraid of Xiao Kaitian, but from the perspective of fundamental interests, compared with the aggressive and occupying Wei State and Wu State, such a country is now built.
Xiao Kaitian's future exploration at least looks a lot softer.
This is also the final decision made by most countries based on business or small country politics. Of course, they also fully considered their political stance if Xiao Kaitian was defeated, so they did not send envoys to the Wei State to conduct certain matters in advance.
Promise of.
There is nothing unusual about such secret operations. Xiao Kaitian has no control over their behind-the-scenes operations. He just made a request to the Alliance Council to borrow interstellar routes openly.
In the future, it is inevitable that troops from the Kingdom of Shu and those from the Kingdom of Shu will be dispatched and pass through the star areas of influence in the free country. These need to be greeted in advance to prevent the latter from thinking that this is an act of aggression.
The Alliance Parliament held an emergency meeting on this proposal, and after deliberation, a conclusion was given in a very strange form.
The conclusion defines this action of Xiao Kaitian and the Shu Kingdom as a private action. The Alliance Council does not care about the army's subsequent intentions. They require Xiao Kaitian and the Shu Kingdom to pay a certain toll.
To put it bluntly, it was just a statement. The actions of Xiao Kaitian and the Shu Kingdom had nothing to do with the Free Country. They were helpless and charged fees in accordance with the Alliance of Gods Cultivation Act. As for what they wanted to do and the consequences, the Free Alliance was not responsible for it.
responsibility.
After the ridiculous conclusion came out, Xiao Kaitian couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. He had already known about this group of wallflowers, but he didn't expect them to be so shameless.
The armies of both sides were gathering. Based on this, Xiao Kaitian took a total of 20,000 soldiers from the Future Exploration, accompanied by generals Yun Yi, Bai Kou? and Zhao Qixi, and rushed to the meeting point with Shu.
After getting Xiao Kaitian to start the operation, the Shu Kingdom immediately mobilized its army, a total of 30,000 people. After entering the territory of the Free Country in a mighty manner, they followed the planned route submitted in advance and met with Xiao Kaitian's army in the designated star field.
After the two armies gathered together, the lineups of both sides were as follows:
The first is the future exploration party, with a total strength of 20,000? The generals are:
Xiao Kaitian? Combat strength 7960? Peak state of Nascent Soul, general? Six thousand sergeants under his command;
Yun Yi? Combat strength 7335, middle Nascent Soul realm? Lieutenant general, with 7,000 sergeants under his command;
Bai Kou? Combat strength 7628? Middle Nascent Soul realm? Three generals? Seven thousand sergeants under his command;
Then on the Shu side, the main generals are as follows:
Guan Yu, combat strength 25320, peak level of transcending tribulation, general, 10,000 sergeants under his command;
Zhang Fei, combat strength 26800, peak level of transcending tribulation, deputy general, and 10,000 sergeants under his command;
Zhao Yun, with a combat power of 24,000, is in the middle stage of the Tribulation, has three generals, and has 10,000 sergeants under his command.
Considering that Shu's mecha army did not have clear distinctions between arms, Xiao Kaitian did not mix his own army with Shu's army and temporarily adopted separate operations.
The meeting point is the junction of the Free Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom. Heading to the territories of the Wei and Wu Kingdoms, you will then pass through a section of the Free Kingdom's territory and then enter the territory of the Wei Kingdom.
Xiao Kaitian immediately convened a meeting. His important ministers and the three Five Tiger Generals of Shu gathered together to discuss the next step.
"According to the information sent back by the scouts from the Wei State, this time the Wei State dispatched 50,000 troops, of which 30,000 troops are equipped with the latest soul mechas provided by the current repair." Guan Yu hooked a crystal ball and input the information.
The data scrolled: "The combat effectiveness of this army cannot be underestimated."
"We don't have any information about the new mecha. The current repairman is very good at it, so the actual performance of the mecha will probably not be known until the battle begins." Zhao Yun added on the side.
Xiao Kaitian had expected this a long time ago. He nodded. His future exploration army this time still has X Mecha, Beetle Mecha, and Heron Mecha as its main arms. There are no new updates.
On the other hand, Xiao Kaitian replaced all the personal mechas of various generals, including Guan Yu and others, with the latest generation of soul mechas. This was a aspect that he thought he could show off.
"The commander-in-chief of the Wei Kingdom is the Emperor Cao Cao himself. It is said that the national counselor Sima Yi is also here, and the other generals are Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhang Liao, all monks who have passed through the tribulation period."
Guan Yu continued to explain: "On the Wu side, a total of 20,000 troops were dispatched. The leading general is Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu. He is also a monk in the tribulation period, and his level is even higher than ours."
Judging from the overall military strength, Xiao Kaitian's Shu coalition army has 50,000 people, while the Wei and Wu coalition forces have 70,000 people. They are slightly at a disadvantage, but the people here are all famous generals. In their eyes, the gap of only 20,000 people
In fact, there is not much difference.
"Speaking of ancient cultivation, the situation in each country is still somewhat different. Therefore, I estimate that the command systems of Wei and Wu will be the same as ours. In principle, they will work independently and will not interfere with each other, but there will definitely be a division of labor."
As he said this, Guan Yu glanced at Xiao Kaitian.
The latter nodded: "I understand. In such a duel, I am not stupid enough to hope that the other party's command system is inconsistent to win." After speaking, Xiao Kaitian stretched out his hand to enlarge the star field map: "If I guessed correctly,
, the place for the decisive battle that both of us agree should be here."
Guan Yu nodded: "This galaxy is the entrance to the territory of Wei State. Its biggest feature is that there are two huge gas giant planets. Wei State has heavy troops guarding these two gas giant planets."
"If you want to enter Wei's territory, you must pass through this area. There is a narrow dust and gas zone in the middle. To get across, you can only rely on traditional landing ships to advance slowly."
Xiao Kaitian held his chin: "It's like a river. The upstream and downstream are heavily guarded by enemy troops. If you want to cross the river, you will be shot by these heavy troops all the way, completely exposed to the enemy's firepower."
Guan Yu nodded: "Although the gas giant planet will not explode and cause nuclear fusion, the internal pressure and temperature are very high. Once the soul mecha enters, it cannot survive. Moreover, the gravity is huge, which is equivalent to the natural bridgehead of Wei.
"
"In this battle, the geographical location is at our disadvantage!"
