Kong Yao was a bit speechless. He wanted to use the random million people here to go against the Night Demons? It was wishful thinking!

At this moment, Gantian Mountain couldn’t back down unless she quit from her job as Left Army Inspector…

…For some reason she wasn’t willing to do so.

Kong Yao also knew that Donglin Cloud Continent had just calmed and settled down. They couldn’t just pull out too many soldiers. Thinking about it, she opened her mouth, “Forget it! I only need 20 more Towns, can they be taken from Donglin? Apart from that, I heard that Ruler is training the Great Qin Elite Soldiers? Can you give me 2 Towns of Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and 2 Towns of Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers?”

Zong Shou frowned. Why was Kong Yao so well-informed?

At this moment, Gantian Mountain was only planning to have 5 Towns each of Sword Soldiers and Crossbow Soldiers.

They just needed to lower the requirements and passable soldiers would be easy to find. What was tough to find were tools and equipment. He did have the materials, but even if Gantian Mountain and Kongqi Sect artifact blacksmiths went all out, they could only craft 20,000 sets each.

Kong Yao had actually predicted the number of troops that Gantian Mountain could produce.

He also knew what she was planning. Once these 4 Towns were completed, there might not be a chance to send them over to Huizhou Island. So why not send them over here directly and train them over here?

His eyes were shining as he didn’t hesitate to nod, “Yes!”

One shouldn’t suspect a person if you wanted to use him and if you did, you should use him. He had no choice and had to rely on this future famous general.

The Army God who had won all battles couldn’t lose here, to someone who had lost to her before…

What he needed to do was to give her more chips and more support.

She was startled and slightly surprised. She asked for so much and Zong Shou didn’t bargain at all with her?

She took out a map of Huizhou Island and directly drew a line in a middle. She said solemnly, “That day when we looked at them, their troops were indeed strong! Even if they lost half their number, it would still be tough to beat them. However, the Night Demons have come from far and the trunk they travel in has already been destroyed. A large amount of grain they carried was lost in space. They shouldn’t have much left, which is why strengthening the pillars and clearing the wilderness is the first mission. Then, we shall use this as a boundary to chase all the people west! Build a fortress at Seven Cloud Mountain and focus all the resources east of Huizhou here…”

Zong Shou took a look at the map and instantly sucked in a cold breath.

Kong Yao was really vicious. Although the map was split in the middle, most of Huizhou land was in the east.

This line would drive out all the people within a 10,000-mile region of land.

This was obviously forcing the Night Demons to fight to the death under Seven Cloud Mountain.

Although he forced hundreds of millions of people to abandon their homes, that was better than dying.

“You are the Left Army Inspector, you can decide it on your own!”

Kong Yao smiled widely. If these were really done she had 20% confidence.

“Apart from that Ruler please order Pill Fountain Sect and Kongqi Sect to make some Great Light Talismans. The more, the better, and send them within the month to Gantian…”

Great Light Talisman?

Zong Shou was stunned. The Great Light Talisman was a Grade Four Spiritual Talisman and was much stronger than what Zhao Yanran used that day.

Although the Night Demons feared light, who knew how many battles that race had been through in Alien Worlds in these tens of thousands of years. If there wasn’t 1,000, there were at least 800 worlds they fought in.

This weakness shouldn’t be considered a weakness anymore. He didn’t believe that those Night Demon generals didn’t have precautionary measures…

Of what use are these Great Light Talismans?

However, thinking about it, he didn’t care much. Anyway, these talismans weren’t worth much money.

“Just do what you want!”

“Then, I will not let you down!”

Solemnly bowing, Kong Yao looked right at Zong Shou and hesitated. A while later when Zong Shou was feeling self conscious, she couldn’t help but ask, “When Ruler came over just now, how much did you hear?”

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t reply. He saw it all.

Looking at his expression she knew most of it, she couldn’t help but feel curious, “Isn’t Ruler afraid? Aren’t you scared that my fate will drag down Gantian? That I am useless and will lose to Night Demons?”

Zong Shou laughed in disdain, “I have never believed in divination. As someone from that type of family you should know that fate will change, there is nothing confirmed so why care so much? People will definitely win the Heavens so why should we just submit to our fates?”

He didn’t totally reject it but he trusted his eyes more. Kong Yao’s commanding a few days ago was really normal and average, there were was nothing special about it.

However, he admired her ability to grasp the personality of her generals. What was tough was that she had an excellent grasp of the situation. She also guessed that he wanted to keep the hundreds of thousands of troops here alive.

As for the divination studies, he had the Book of Eon Extreme Life and also grasped the Luck word talisman, he was no weaker than some outstanding divinators.

However, just because he understood it deeply didn’t mean that he didn’t believe fate couldn’t be changed and one couldn’t go against destiny. If everyone’s fate was fixed, then why would people want to know about their own fate?

Kong Yao was dazed once more, her eyes shining brightly, her face turning red and white. She then gritted her teeth, passing over a silver necklace from her neck.

“Wear this every day, don’t let it leave you!”

Zong Shou was startled, taking the necklace. It was ordinary looking, apart from an exquisite carving, there was nothing special. At the end of it was a precious red stone. Looking closely, there were runes shining. It was actually a Magical Treasure which was really magical and crafted exquisitely. However, he couldn’t see what the use of it was.

He sniffed it and could still smell a bit of the fragrance of her chest…

He looked closely and still did not learn anything. His eyes were filled with curiosity, “Is this a love token?”

She didn’t know whether or not he should keep it or reject it.

Kong Yao’s face instantly turned red, thinking that Zong Shou was really a bad person.

The Saint King Energy could already be seen. Not long later, the Dragon and Phoenix roars wouldn’t be able to be hidden from others.

This was the phenomenon of a Saint Emperor! Although he could gather huge talents of the world and all Confucians to join him, it might give rise to calamity.

Didn’t the Wen King end up in trouble because of that in the past?

Kong Rui asked for this necklace for her since she resonated with Army Breaking, which was why vengeful energy surrounded her since she was young. If she didn’t pay attention, it would affect people around her, which was why she needed the item to suppress it. It was said that it could also lock luck.

It was really suitable to use it on Zong Shou.

She didn’t think too much about it just now. Who knew that Zong Shou would joke about it.

However, for some reason she tightly grit her teeth and didn’t explain. She also felt slight anticipation in her heart.

In the end, Zong Shou hung the necklace around his neck. Although he didn’t know what Kong Yao meant, he knew she didn’t have any bad intentions toward him.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Zong Shou was shocked. He spread his Spiritual Sense to feel the air around, detecting weird energy fluctuations.

He walked out of the tent and looked into the sky, only to see spiderweb-like cracks in the blue sky.

He was slightly caught off-guard. Zong Shou and Kong Yao exchanged glances. Both of them knew that the Night Demon Army had begun their attack.

Just as they were exchanging glances, the sky seemed like it was unable to take the pressure and suddenly collapsed.

A ship whose helm was 1,000 feet wide suddenly smashed down. Hundreds and thousands of Night Demons flew into the Cloud World, covering the sky.

At this moment, without needing Kong Yao to order, the hundreds of arrow platforms and cloud ships, close to 100,000 strong giant crossbows all fired and covered the sky.

Following this, there was a loud explosion. The bow of the ship was forcefully shattered and blown, as it started to pull back.

Half of the thousands of Night Demons fell. Only a thousand-odd fled back.

Zong Shou wasn’t happy. He knew that it was just Prince Jia Mingluo probing. Kong Yao also gave back the strongest retaliation. However, the toughest day had just begun.

　　※※※※

Pretty much at the same time, Yinyu picked up a document in the Imperial City of the Central Continent.

This was from the east of the continent, a place he didn’t want to bother about the most.

It described what he had expected.

The Night Demons were finally beginning…

He instinctively looked at the table in front of him, a dark glow flashing within.

The table was brand new, but he didn’t like it much. However, he had smashed the one he loved into pieces just days ago.

Zong Shou!

Although he didn’t like Weihai much and didn’t have high hopes on him, after all he was his subject.

He was his subject, his dog, but Zong Shou dared to do that? He was preposterous and too bold!

If this was 20 years ago and he was 20 years younger, he would lead his troops over to show these barbarians the strength of their superior country.

However, he couldn’t do that now!

Suddenly, a sentence on the document jumped at his eyes.

“Setting up the Five Army Inspection Division to command the army. Kong Yao will be the Left Army Inspector to lead the Huizhou war. This had been sent to the Gantian Army a day ago…”

Yinyu was startled and then he scoffed coldly. He casually tossed the document to the side.

He would find out in half a month!

Maybe it wouldn’t even need half a month…
