Chapter 179 The Power of the Emperor
Following Huang Yu's words, all the generals were stunned for a moment, and then one of them spoke up: "Huang Yu, we are all done fighting."
"Finished the battle? No, we just beat them back once again." Huang Yu shook his head and pointed at the sand table in front of him. "Now, while the Xumi monkeys are being beaten back by us, we will immediately send troops to occupy the Xiangzui Slope and the path leading to Xumi City from the Layered Rock Abyss. This way, if the Xumi monkeys want to attack in the future, we can attack from all sides. Even if we have to repeat today's battle, we can still beat them back!"
Occupying Xiangzuipo has always been Huang Yu's idea. The Xumi army attacks Wuyuchoulin through Xiangzuipo. The terrain is basically hills and plains, which cannot form a geographical advantage. By occupying Xiangzuipo, no matter the Xumi army attacks from Rongxun Mountain or Lidu Valley, it will be a high-level attack.
What's more, after controlling the road from the Layered Rock Abyss to Xumi, it will be extremely convenient for attacking or defending Xumi in the future.
The generals listened to Huang Yu's explanation, and a look of recognition flashed in their eyes. Although the Qianyan Army had been established for more than a hundred years and many general families had emerged, during the Demon War, these generals were all committed to the outside world.
"But, all of our Thousand Rocks soldiers are now exhausted. I'm afraid it will take three or four days for them to recover." A general said, "Many Thousand Rocks soldiers are homesick after this kind of battle and have a strong resistance to fighting."
Huang Yu: "Don't use the Thousand Rocks to defend them. Use the Thousand Rocks I brought from the Layered Abyss."
"In that case, just take it over. Why do you need to tell us?" the generals were puzzled.
Huang Yu explained: "I am leading an army of 400,000 people. We can only occupy the place temporarily. We still need to build walls and do other physical work. You need to lead the troops to do it. After all, 400,000 troops consume a lot of food in a day. And the 400,000 troops were sent here directly by the Emperor. Basically, they didn't bring any food. After simply guarding Xiangzui Slope, we need to return to the Layered Rock Abyss to replenish food."
Hearing this, the other generals nodded and said, "Okay, according to your idea, Huang Yu, we will mobilize the remaining Qianyan Army now and prepare to set off in a day."
------
Xumi did not expect that after a great battle, Guili still had troops to invade them. By the time they reacted, Huang Yu had completely occupied Xiangzui Slope.
The Flower God and the Tree King wanted to stop him, but the shadow of the Emperor suppressing the Red King with one blow just now made the two demon gods hesitate.
And in the center of the distant desert, in an underground cave.
The Red King gasped for breath while looking at the figure hidden in the endless darkness in front of him: "Apep, you saved me?"
As the words fell, two points of light suddenly appeared in the darkness. With the help of this light, it could be seen that it was a huge, hovering dragon.
It is one of the seven ancient dragon kings, the grass dragon Apep.
"If I hadn't saved you, you would have been turned into a rock sculpture by Morax." Apep said, "From now on, don't think about attacking Guili anymore, just study the forbidden knowledge honestly."
"What if one day Morax breaks into Xumi and invades the paradise that I, the Flower God, and the Tree King have built?" The Red King stood up and said, "The reason I came into contact with forbidden knowledge is first to defeat Morax, and second for my people. If I can't even defeat Morax and become a loser in the Demon God War, how can I benefit my people?"
Apep said coldly: "Now, unless you get in touch with more forbidden knowledge, your end will be the same. But I will save you next time."
Chi Wang recalled the feeling of being turned into a stone statue by the Emperor just now, and could not help but shudder. The feeling of clearly seeing that the essence of his life was changing bit by bit but being unable to resist was really too despairing.
In comparison, the mumbling and madness heard when coming into contact with forbidden knowledge does not seem unacceptable.
"Apep, how powerful is Namorax?" asked the Red King unwillingly.
"Morax... His current strength is closest to that of the Rock Dragon in its prime." Apep recalled, "We, the Seven Dragon Kings, are representatives of the seven elements of Teyvat. One of our powers is to assimilate all the material elemental forces around us into the elemental forces under our control, just like the power that Morax used to turn you into a stone sculpture and seal you today."
The Red King knew the past, and after hearing what Apep said, he felt a little desperate: "So, I am definitely no match for Morax?"
"Not only you, but all of you who were born from the fragments of the original man, none of you can be a match for Morax." Apep said sarcastically, "So, do you still plan to be an enemy of Morax? Or do you obediently offer the Xumi Territory and let the Emperor seal you and the other two demons?"
"No!" The Red King shook his head suddenly, "I want to defeat Morax and Apep, I want to get to know more forbidden knowledge!"
When Apep heard this, the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger.
----
After a period of time, the Red King never appeared in Guili again, and the Flower God and the Tree King had no intention of taking the initiative to conquer, and they devoted themselves to benefiting their people.
Under the governance of the two gods, Xumi began to recuperate, but the shadow of failure always hung over the hearts of all the people in Xumi, so that the humans living in Xumi City began to move back to the paradise of Wali Weijie.
Because he lived in Xumi City, every day when he woke up and looked towards the place where the sun rose, he could see the city built by the Guili people.
On the sea to the east, a huge ship broke through the wind and waves and headed towards Liyue Harbor.
This ship is the Guili, which has returned after two years of absence.
"We are finally going back to Guili." On the deck, Zhu Yuncheng looked at the land in the distance and said with a smile, "After this year, I am almost tired of eating fish."
When the Guili left, they only brought one year's worth of food. The original intention was to replenish the food in Inazuma. It turned out that Inazuma had nothing except fish and rice, so everyone, including Zhu Yuncheng, could only eat fish and rice for a whole year, and they were all traumatized by the food!
Until the Sanqian Qianyan army, who was about to return to their hometown, began to talk more.
"The King of Men."
At this time, Kai Yangxing came to Zhu Yuncheng. After a year, he became older and couldn't even straighten his back.
Zhu Yuncheng knew that in addition to his old age, it was also due to the sea breeze blowing over the sea.
"Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Yuncheng waved his hand and released the power of Yin to form a light curtain to block the wind and waves for Kaiyang Star.
"Human King, I am old now. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to fight with you again in the future." Kai Yangxing knew the condition of his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "My little boy is quite capable, but he is not capable of taking on major responsibilities. I hope the Human King will not look at him differently because of me."
Zhu Yuncheng felt sad: "If the four stars of Tianquan could have the same awareness as you, I would not kill their three clans. This killing would cause big problems."
It was indeed a big problem. After giving the order to kill, Zhu Yuncheng suddenly realized that it seemed that the Ning family and the Ke family were the ancestors of Ningguang and Keqing. After he killed the two families and three clans, whether Ningguang and Keqing would appear in the future has probably become an unknown.
Ha, who knows about this kind of thing? Ning family’s ancestor Ning Pang was a disciple of an immortal, while Ning Guang was born in a poor family.
