Fifty-one warships have been suspended in the sky above Baiyuan City.
The demonic people in the city no longer fear and worry, and resume their normal lives.
Of course, the common people were secretly speculating that if the foreign city lord's power suddenly increased, he would definitely have some new plans and actions.
In the past five days, General Fulong has been resting in the city lord's palace and has never shown his face.
His strength is unfathomable and has reached the peak of the Martial God Realm.
With An Yu's help, he learned the basic writing and language of humans and demons in just four days.
Then, he asked An Yu to find tens of thousands of books and read them at a staggering speed.
He can quickly read a book and memorize it by just scanning it with his mind.
In just twelve hours, he read tens of thousands of books.
He has a deeper understanding of the culture and history of Shenwu Continent.
At noon that day, General Fulong was reading books in his study.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door.
An Yu quickly entered the study, bowed to General Fulong, and reported: "General Qi, my subordinates sent a letter of greeting to Beiming Palace yesterday, and just received a reply from the Great Demon Saint Lingxuan."
General Fulong closed his eyes and continued to read the book with his spiritual mind. He asked without raising his head: "How is the situation?"
An Yu frowned and said with a sullen expression: "My subordinate explained that the general has arrived with his army and wants to discuss important matters with the ancestor of the demon god face to face.
However, Lingxuan was still arrogant and rude, and even refused our visit.
He said there was no relationship between the two tribes and there was no need for cooperation.
Rather than targeting Beiming Mountain, we might as well set our goals elsewhere.
After all, Beiming Mountain is just a barren, cold and small place, but there is a broader and richer world outside."
After hearing these words, General Fulong stopped reading the book and slowly opened his eyes.
He grinned and revealed a meaningful sneer.
"Hahaha... You sent me a greeting card yesterday, but he didn't reply to you until today.
What does this mean?
This matter is not Ling Xuan’s decision, but a decision made after discussion with the ancestor demon!”
An Yu was startled for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization, and nodded quickly: "I see! The general is still aware of everything."
General Fulong ignored his flattery and continued: "On the surface, it seems that the demons are really arrogant and rude in rejecting our visit.
But this just shows that the demons are afraid of our power and worried that we will invade Beiming Mountain.
Therefore, they will show that Beiming Mountain is not worth our war and persuade us to set our goals elsewhere.
This is actually a sign of submission, a compromise and a concession!"
An Yu nodded repeatedly and said with admiration: "The general is really smart. He can deduce the truth based on clues without reading the reply. This is so admirable to my subordinates!
Now that the demons have shown weakness, what are we waiting for?
It is better to lead a large army to attack, conquer Beiming Mountain with overwhelming force, and enslave all the demons!"
General Fulong looked at him sideways and said with a playful smile: "Have you forgotten what I said a few days ago?
You are so eager to capture Beiming Mountain. It seems that you were humiliated by the demons. Are you eager to take revenge?"
An Yu suddenly stiffened, bowed and saluted quickly, and said with a smile: "General, please forgive me, it was my subordinate who was reckless."
General Fulong withdrew his cold eyes and said in a playful tone: "Ignore the demons for the time being. Send the order and prepare to attack the seventy-two cities.
The ancestral demon god has an unfathomable background, yet he is so forbearing and giving in. He is definitely not an easy person.
If our clan invades Beiming Mountain, we will certainly be victorious, but we will also have to pay a certain price.
After all, the demons are brave and good at fighting, fearless of death, and their numbers are overwhelming.
Even if we fight to the end, all we get is a barren land, so why bother?"
"I understand, I will go and pass the order now." An Yu bowed, turned around and left.
After An Yu left, General Fulong continued reading as if nothing had happened.
A quarter of an hour later, An Yu returned and reported respectfully: "General Qi, the army has been prepared. Please board the first ship and lead the army out."
General Fulong didn't even raise his head, and said in a calm tone: "It's just seventy-two cities, why do you need me to go out personally?
You gather forty warships and lead the fleet to the expedition.
Leave ten warships behind and send them to various tribes and cities to collect as many resources as possible."
An Yu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "General, why are you searching for resources in the four southern regions? Are we leaving Beiming Mountain?"
"Of course." General Fulong said expressionlessly: "After taking the seventy-two cities, that will be our base camp!
Remember not to kill everyone, we still need a lot of slaves."
An Yu nodded repeatedly and said expectantly: "I understand, general. Please rest assured!"
After that, he bowed and exited the study.
Flying from the city lord's mansion into the sky, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and showed a proud smile.
"The General really trusts me very much and thinks highly of me!
This is the first battle of the army's conquest of the Shenwu Continent, and the general actually asked me to lead the army personally and take over the power!
Hahaha... what an honor this is!"
With this thought flashing through his mind, An Yu adjusted the silver armor and cloak he was wearing, straightening his waist even more.
"Whoosh!"
He stepped onto the first ship and walked towards the door with a strong stride.
The four black-armored guards guarding both sides quickly saluted respectfully and shouted in unison: "See you, Lieutenant-General!"
An Yu pretended to be dignified and nodded, stepped into the battleship, waved his hand vigorously and ordered: "Send the order to the whole army, go to war!"
Suddenly, two black-armored guards released dark red signal arrows, shooting straight into the sky.
"Bang!"
Two signal arrows exploded high in the sky, blooming into a dark red light that covered the sky and the sun, like blood.
Immediately, a total of forty warships flew across the sky in a mighty manner, speeding towards the south.
Beiming Mountain is adjacent to Seventy-Two City, not far away.
The warships of the Fatian clan are basically virtual god-level magic weapons, commonly known as artifacts.
Its flying speed is naturally extremely fast and unbelievable.
Just four hours later.
The mighty fleet arrived at Seventy-Two City.
Two cities vaguely appeared in the mountains in front of the fleet.
An Yu stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking down at the two ancient cities in the mountains, with a sinister sneer on his lips.
"Ten months ago, I personally set out to conquer the seventy-two cities.
It was about to be completed, but Ji Tianxing ruined the good work and caused heavy losses to me.
Now that I have made a comeback, I will definitely capture the seventy-two cities in one fell swoop and enslave all the untouchables!
This time, I want to see who else can stop my conquest?!"
