Xu Keding and the other nine generals who stayed behind finally knew the real reason behind Messenger of God convening this meeting.
The monster that had almost instantly killed the two great generals Zi Hou and Kong Shanren previously was a super soldier that was "made" by Lord Messenger of God following the divine order given by the Beast God. These soldiers were extremely strong, and their brains were quite sharp, but they were not easy to "create". So far, the Messenger of God only had three thousand of these soldiers. This time, the reason why the Messenger of God had gathered all the Tiger King s was because he hoped that the Tiger King would select a few elite soldiers under their command and send them to Mo Qiu, so that the Messenger of God could form an invincible army. The day that the army is formed is the day that the Fire Phoenix Empire of the south is swept away!
Once the Fire Phoenix Empire was swept flat, a large swath of fertile land in the south would become owned by Black Cove. At that time, the territories of the various Tiger King s would no longer be just a small Black Cove, but the territory of the entire continent!
When he finished speaking, the Lord Messenger of God emphasized, "Because this is the first and last time this matter has been gathered. After this incident, I will not trouble you about it. If you agree, please report the number of your soldiers. If you don't agree, then please make it clear that I will not force everyone. "
Xu Keding secretly sucked in a cold breath. A single soldier like this was enough to instantly kill two Great Generals, and three thousand of these soldiers did not dare say that they could exterminate a certain Tiger King, or at the very least, injure him greatly. If each Tiger King offered five thousand soldiers, then for tens of thousands of such super soldiers to go out to battle with Phoenix City Pass, taking it down would not be a pipe dream.
Just as he thought of this, Second Tiger King, who was sitting beside monarch, raised his hand.
"My department is willing to send 5,000 soldiers!"
"My department is willing to send out 8,000 soldiers!"
"My department is willing to send ten thousand men!"
Following Second Tiger King's announcement, the other Tiger King began to express their positions. Everyone knew in their hearts that this was no longer a question of how many soldiers were to be given, as it involved the distribution of benefits after the reunification of the continent. Even the weakest of them would be around thirty to fifty thousand. Giving out these five million soldiers was not really a big deal, and in exchange for the distribution of benefits in the future of the continent, this business was worth talking about.
Amongst the Tiger King s, the most shocking ones were the Eleventh Tiger King s and the Ten Second Tiger King s. After the two of them lowered their heads and discussed for a while, they stood up and spoke in a clear voice.
"My family is willing to send out twenty thousand!"
"My family is willing to send out 25,000 soldiers!"
The two Tiger King s who were at the bottom of the rankings had brought out the largest number of troops. They were betting on themselves, betting on themselves if they won. They would have great Fire Phoenix Empire and rivers and mountains if they lost. If they lost the bet, they would still have eleven or twelve people, and it wouldn't affect them.
Seeing that the other Tiger King s had expressed their positions, the Fourth Tiger King s, Ninth Tiger King s and Tenth Tiger King s remained silent. When the entire audience was focused on the three of them, Ninth Tiger King smiled slightly, "I have discussed it with the Ten Kings. After all, the Lord Messenger of God is leading the brothers of each family out to war, and someone is going to be responsible for the logistics issues at Mo Qiu. At the northeastern border, I will deliver food and money to all of you, waving the flag and shouting to you all. I wish all of you brothers victory at the start! "
Although his words were beautiful, those who knew better already knew that these two brothers were not going to participate in it. Or perhaps, they simply did not approve of Messenger of God's plan. After all, in some ways, the creation of such a soldier was already a destructive act.
Listening to his words, Fourth Tiger King snorted coldly, "With such a huge Moqiu, Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother might not be able to accomplish it. I'll stay and help."
Although the words were unpleasant to hear, the meaning behind the words were similar to that of the Ninth Tiger King and the Tenth Tiger King. It was clearly on the same side as the two.
Messenger of God's expression did not change as he continued to smile merrily, "That's great. It's good that the three of you have solved everyone's worries. If there is nothing else, then we will end today's gathering here. Do not go back on your promise to this old man previously. "
Hearing this, a few Tiger King s expressed that they would definitely not do this, and that they would definitely support the great cause of the unity of Mo Qiu. Whether it was them or not, they drew a clear line between them and the Fourth Tiger King, which lasted for three days.
After exiting the Beast God Temple, Ninth Tiger King took Xu Keding out of the Moqiu City without leaving a single moment behind. On the way, he constantly warned Xu Keding and the Guard Captain that they must take extra precautions, until the great army activated their Phoenix City Pass.
In that moment, Xu Keding felt an unprecedented fear from Ninth Tiger King, a fear that came from the bottom of his heart, and even from the depths of his soul.
"That's all I know. After that, the great army will leave and attack your Phoenix City Pass. " After Xu Keding finished speaking, he once again lifted the teacup and finished the tea in one gulp.
"Don't say it, based on what General Xu said, the three Tiger King s that remained have very good principles and bottoms up. If we were to place them in our hands, it should be called Knight's Spirit, right?" As strong man spoke, he glanced at Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi from the corner of his eyes. The two of them could only smile bitterly in silence. They understood that strong man was talking about the handheld crossbow s.
strong man is not a knight, but he grew up in a military camp, and has a yearning towards chivalry." There was also a very interesting characteristic about the spirit of a Knight, which was that he looked down on those who used handheld crossbow, especially when the people from Vengeance Moqiu State used handheld crossbow as a standard weapon.
First of all, the Knights believed that whether it was raising or controlling the horses, as well as using the spears, sabers, and bows and arrows, they all needed to be trained, trained, and trained over a long period of time. Even if it was a child born with Aristocratic Family, from the moment he entered the Imperial Military Academy to become a true Knight, it would still take at least ten years. For the civilian population, this would be a much longer period of time. Of course, there was no lack of unlucky fellows in the Imperial Military Academy who would never be able to become a Knight in their entire lives.
Becoming a Knight was just the beginning. The phrase 'honor is my life' was definitely not to be disregarded. A true Knight had to constantly defend the honor of their family, not only to fight on the battlefield, but also to accumulate all sorts of attitudes, etiquette, and knowledge in life.
Compared to all these, handheld crossbow was like a nouveau riche. There was almost no need to train to use handheld crossbow, and it did not even need to be targeted too precisely if one was near. Since there was no need to use too much strength to fire bolt, this training process was saved. To use a bolt as a weapon, one only need to learn how to install it and then deactivate it. With such ease, an old farmer who had been planting seedlings in the fields for the whole morning, or a child who had just finished school, could easily kill a Knight who had struggled for at least ten years to wear this armor.
It was an insult to the chivalry, a victory of opportunism, a contempt for all who had succeeded through unremitting study and hard work. Therefore, the Knights despised the handheld crossbow. They thought that anyone who wanted to succeed through their own efforts would despise the handheld crossbow as a shameless weapon that symbolized obtaining something without working hard.
However, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi, who were standard knights of an empire, did not seem to have such awareness. From the moment they stepped onto the Moqiu and seized the first handheld crossbow, the two of them unrestrainedly equipped the handheld crossbow in each of their subordinates' hands, allowing the bow decked with horn of an animal, which was an almost light cavalry standard weapon, to slowly withdraw from the conventional equipment of the Expeditionary Forces.
As strong man had always respected and respected the spirit of Knights since he was young, not only was this kind of behavior difficult to understand, it was also a little overbearing. He had once told the Xiu'er that the Xiu'er's attitude was a little cold, which meant that the two of them were the commanders, and that the two of them had the authority to decide which weapons to use according to the situation on the battlefield. With that, he kicked the ball back to Chen Chu.
When strong man criticized the two of them, openly or secretly, the two of them would immediately laugh and avoid him. Chen Chu was even half serious and half joking as he said, "strong man, wait until we can return alive first, then we can discuss whether we should use the handheld crossbow or not."
strong man saw that he could not speak for more than two people, and could not get the Xiu'er's support, so he could only find an opportunity to derogate a few words. Fortunately, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi didn't care and allowed him to speak.
At this time, the Xiu'er suddenly asked a question: "General Xu, from your description just now, it seems that the Messenger of God was always in charge. That nominal Beast God, which is the monarch of Mo Qiu, did he not say a word?"
Xu Keding stared blankly for a while, and carefully thought back for a long time before replying, "According to my memories, I don't think so. He has been sitting there the entire time. Whatever the Lord Messenger of God says, he would nod his head in agreement, as if he really did not say much. "
"Lord Xiu, could it be that you suspect ~ ~" Qu Feizhi's eyes slanted as an evil smile appeared on his face.
Xiu'er waved her hand, "I am only guessing. I always felt that even if it's the person in charge in name, for all the Tiger King to gather together in this day and night, they should still say a few words, let alone such a big matter. If Messenger of God has always been the one to step out, then why would I need him, the monarch, to do such a small thing? "
Xu Keding also reacted at this moment, and subconsciously asked: "Could it be that you all suspect ~ ~"
Chen Chu interrupted him and said, "I think there's no need to doubt, it's more of a certainty."
"But … but why did he do it?" Originally, the country's highest ruler was appointed by him, there is no need for him to do that. " Xu Keding still didn't quite believe it.
Chen Chu sneered, "How big can your Moqiu State be? He had ruled for more than a thousand years. Right now, it was hard to find a good opportunity to destroy the Fire Phoenix Empire, so why not quickly make a move? The title of Master of the Continent is much better than the title of Master of Inky Qiu. "
Only strong man had yet to react, and asked with a bit of doubt in his voice: "What are you all talking about?"
Qu Feizhi laughed, "Oh my brother strong man, they are talking about that Messenger of God Mo Qiu. All of this should be because of him. He controlled the Moqiu State Master, and he created those demon soldiers. The past few big battles of the Phoenix City Pass were all because of him. "
"Then what should we do?" strong man finally reacted.
Xiu'er tapped the map with her finger: "What else can I do, go straight for Moqiu City! General Xu said just now, that this time it was the monarch who was going to war, he did not say that the Messenger of God was going to war, so no matter what, he would probably be guarding his tomb right? "
"But … but … even if you kill your way to the Moqiu City, what can you do if you find the Messenger of God?" Even if you kill Messenger of God, the people of Moqiu State will not surrender to you! " Xu Keding's tone carried a tinge of anxiety. He was being forced into a corner. Previously, he had revealed so much of the history of Black Cove already counted as a compromise for the other party not to kill his subordinates. Now, what he feared the most was for the other party to force him to bring his soldiers to attack Moqiu City.
Chen Chu chuckled, "We are just not interested in this Mo Qiu. We should be thankful if he doesn't beat us with his Moqiu Army. However, there will always be people who are interested in Moqiu City, we don't mind helping them out. "
"Who?" Xu Keding asked.
Chen Chu's eyes flashed with a bright light as he enunciated word by word, "Fourth Tiger King, Ninth Tiger King, Tenth Tiger King, I'm afraid that one of the three of you would have some thoughts towards the throne of the Master of Mo Qiu, right?"
Hearing this, Xiu'er's eyes lit up, she turned and looked at Xu Keding, and said slowly: "General Xu, you can leave after resting for a few days, bring your soldiers back to Ninth Tiger King."
"And then?" Xu Keding had a faint idea of the other party's motive for releasing him.
Chen Chu smiled sinisterly, "And then? Do you still need Lord Xiu to be so clear about this? "
Xiu'er laughed helplessly: "Then, I just hope that General Xu can bring a letter back with you saying that we want to pay Ninth Tiger King a visit. It is a visit with a literal meaning, without any other meaning. Ninth Tiger King can choose any time and place you wish to meet with me. "
Three days later, Xu Keding set off. However, he was only surrounded by his own two hundred guards. This was Chen Chu's intention. He felt that it would be too risky for Xu Keding to take away all the soldiers and leave the soldiers in his hands. Xiu'er felt that it made sense, and followed his suggestion.
Standing outside the Wolf Drinking Town, Xiu'er and the others were also prepared to set off. To penetrate deep into the enemy nation alone, they could not stay in one place for too long. A prisoner of war was originally a very troublesome problem, but luckily Xu Keding leaked some information to his trusted aides, saying that he had to go back and discuss about something important with the Ninth Tiger King, telling them to be patient and wait for his return.
Looking at Xu Keding's back figure, then looking at the huge army behind him, Xiu'er waved her hand and said, "We are also prepared to set off. added a bit of confusion to the Tiger King s who went to the Phoenix City Pass, while also giving them a bit of confidence in themselves. " With that, she whipped her horse and galloped towards the group.
Qu Feizhi looked at Chen Chu, and asked: "What if Ninth Tiger King doesn't agree to this?"
"What else can we do? Let's fight. " Chen Chu replied lazily.
"And what if we do?" Qu Feizhi asked again.
Chen Chu's face bloomed into an incomparably brilliant smile, and he asked Qu Feizhi a question in reply: If we really come to an agreement, how about we stay in Mo Qiu? Let the Ninth Tiger King be the monarch, and we will impersonate the Messenger of God? That's a good idea, isn't it? Hahahahahaha "laughed out loud as he lightly whipped his horse. Chen Chu galloped his horse to chase after Xiu'er, leaving the foolish Qu Feizhi at the same place.
After a long while, the dumbstruck Qu Feizhi finally spoke out to himself. "How much truth is there in this madman's words?"
