Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 422 Response
As for whether attacking Jiuzhou would make the human race furious and lead to a life-and-death battle with the North Sea Monsters, this statement made it seem as if the North Sea Monsters would not attack Jiuzhou and the human race would not attack them.

This is impossible. As far as the hatred between the two races is concerned, once a conflict breaks out between the Immortal Alliance and the North Sea Demon Race, the human race will never stand idly by, but will cooperate with the Immortal Alliance at the first opportunity and jointly attack the North Sea Demon Race.

The hatred between the demon race and the human race is deeper than the hatred between them and the immortal alliance.

The situation has developed to this point. No matter what, the war between the North Sea demons, the human race, and the Immortal Alliance is inevitable.

In this case, it doesn't matter who we attack. We should attack Jiuzhou first, as they are closer and weaker than the Immortal Alliance.

……

"Well, is Kunpeng so decisive? He actually dared to take the initiative to attack and strike first."

As soon as Kunpeng's order was issued, Ao Bing, who had been secretly paying attention to the North Sea, received the news.

He was first surprised at Kunpeng's decisiveness, and then he immediately contacted the dragon clan and mobilized the water clan army, starting from the East China Sea and heading towards the North Sea, intending to unite with the human army to fight against the North Sea monster clan.

The hatred between the Dragon Clan and the North Sea Monster Clan is also deep. It would have been fine if there was no chance in the past, but now that there is an opportunity, it cannot be missed no matter what.

It’s okay for Kunpeng not to fight the dragon clan, but the dragon clan can choose to take the initiative and mobilize a large army to charge towards the North Sea.

"Do you want to take action now?"

After Ao Bing, Zhen Yuanzi also got the news quickly. Immediately, he sent a message to Ao Bing, asking him whether he wanted to take action now.

"No rush, let's fight a few battles in the North Sea first. If we have a great advantage and defeat the North Sea monsters again and again, causing their luck to plummet, Kunpeng's strength will definitely be affected. That will be the best time for us to take action."

"On the contrary, if we are defeated, then we have nothing to hesitate about. We should act immediately and seal Kunpeng as quickly as possible to prevent his luck from being plundered by the North Sea monsters and greatly increase Kunpeng's strength."

Ao Bing sent a message to Zhen Yuanzi, urging him not to be anxious and wait and see the situation. If the situation was favorable to them, they should wait and act. On the contrary, if the situation was unfavorable to them, they should act immediately.

"You are right, I am too anxious. Kunpeng carries the luck of the North Sea. If we don't get rid of this luck first, then even if we are fully prepared, accidents will still happen when we attack him."

Zhen Yuanzi understood, suppressed his restless emotions, and waited patiently. The wonder of luck is mysterious.

This is the biggest unstable factor in the prehistoric world. Therefore, before taking action against a strong enemy, the first thing to do is to reduce his luck.

Otherwise, if the powerful enemy still has good fortune, then when he encounters a life-and-death crisis, the good fortune will come into play, either turning his misfortune into a blessing or giving him a glimmer of hope for survival.

In short, after the luck is cut, the strong enemy will definitely die. If the luck is not cut, various accidents will occur frequently, making it much more difficult to kill the strong enemy.

The North Sea is one of the four seas, and its luck is extremely great. Kunpeng possesses such luck. If he does not find a way to cut it off, the action of Ao Bing and others will probably be difficult to succeed.

Zhen Yuanzi was also a man of great luck, so how could he not know this truth? Therefore, he knew that it was useless to be anxious, and things had to be done step by step. He had waited for countless years, so a few years would not be a big deal.

……

In the Beihai Kingdom, Wen Zhong was still in charge of the overall situation. The time was too short for Jiang Ziya to establish enough prestige in the army and take over Wen Zhong's position.

Therefore, Wen Zhong did not leave Beihai Kingdom and returned to Chaoge. He continued to teach Jiang Ziya and establish prestige for him.

Just like at this moment, after learning that the North Sea monsters were invading, Wen Zhong immediately summoned his generals to discuss the matter, and the one responsible for receiving them was Jiang Ziya.

"Everyone, the situation has come to this point. I will say it directly. Now the North Sea Monsters are invading in large numbers. It is impossible for us, the Great Shang, to resist them with our own strength."

"I wonder if you have any advice on this matter that can help me keep the powerful enemy out?"

After all the generals arrived, Wen Zhong first scanned their faces one by one. After making them all feel uncomfortable, he asked in a deep voice.

Everyone was silent. According to their intention, they would definitely give up the North Sea Kingdom and retreat collectively.

After all, the size of the North Sea Monster Clan is huge, comparable to that of the Nine Provinces. Da Shang is just one of the princes of the Nine Provinces. Although it is the strongest, it is still not comparable to the North Sea Monster Clan.

If they really wanted to fight to the death, even if they destroyed the Shang Dynasty, it would not necessarily cause any serious damage to the North Sea monsters.

The gap between them was so huge that if they didn't want to be annihilated, they would naturally retreat in time. However, although all the generals had this intention, no one dared to bring it up.

The hatred between the human race and the demon race is as deep as the sea. Facing the attack of the demon race, who dares to retreat easily? Even if you know you can't win, you still do so.

Anyone who dares to talk about retreat, no matter what their considerations are, will be labeled a coward afterwards. Not only will their future be ruined, but their family and relatives will also be humiliated.

Considering the consequences, the generals dared not speak out even if they wanted to retreat. If they did not speak out, they would die. If they spoke out of retreat, they would be punished by death.

"The invasion of the North Sea Monsters is not just a matter for our Great Shang nation, but a major event for the Nine Provinces and even the entire human race."

"This matter concerns the rise and fall of the human race. How to deal with it is beyond the capabilities of our Great Shang."

"So I suggest that the Grand Master ask the King for permission to summon the princes of the world to send troops to support us, and at the same time ask for help from the ancestral land, begging the high-level people of the human race to send strong men to help."

Just as the generals were silent, Jiang Ziya stood up and spoke. His meaning was very clear: the invasion of the North Sea monsters was not just a matter for the Shang Dynasty, but a problem for the entire human race.

Therefore, the Shang Dynasty did not need to resist head-on. It just needed to mobilize forces from all directions, starting with the princes in all directions, and ask them to send reinforcements.

If that is not enough, the human race still has its ancestral land, where many ancient clans live, and they can easily form several powerful armies.

If the ancestral land is not enough, then it doesn’t matter. The human race also has a holy land, namely the Tianwai Fire Cloud Cave, where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as well as the sages of the human race throughout the ages all lived in seclusion.

If humans really encounter troubles that cannot be solved, they will not stand idly by.

"That's true, but even if the princes from all directions send reinforcements immediately after receiving the news, it will still take some time."

"It won't be long before the army of the North Sea Monsters arrives here. Before the reinforcements from the four princes arrive, how can we defend the North Sea Kingdom from the attack of the North Sea Monsters?"

Some generals retorted that they admitted that Jiang Ziya's method was indeed feasible, but the problem was that they did not have that much time.

"I will defend it!" "As long as you are willing to trust me and obey my orders, I will definitely be able to defend the North Sea Kingdom until the reinforcements arrive."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya immediately made a promise.

"You promise, what can you promise?" The generals naturally did not believe what Jiang Ziya said.

He had just arrived in the army, but he was already highly valued by Wen Zhong. It would have been fine if he had a lot of experience, but he had no experience and no achievements. Seeing this, the generals were inevitably dissatisfied.

Now that they had the chance, they immediately vented their dissatisfaction. All kinds of unpleasant words kept coming out of their mouths, trying their best to belittle Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya was not angry about this. This was what he deserved. If he wanted to break the rules and take shortcuts, he would have to endure the corresponding criticism. If he couldn't even endure this little criticism, then he shouldn't have taken any shortcuts in the first place.

Jiang Ziya was recommended by Ao Bing and directly designated as Wen Zhong's successor. This was more than just a shortcut, it was simply a step to heaven, and it was bound to cause dissatisfaction.

Faced with this situation, what he should do is not to get angry, but to prove himself with his ability, that he is indeed capable of taking on this high position. In this way, everyone will be convinced.

The current crisis is his chance to prove himself.

The North Sea Monsters came in full force, looking like they were going to destroy the North Sea Kingdom. If he could defend the North Sea Kingdom under such circumstances, who would dare to question his ability in the future?
He deserves the position of head coach!
It was with the idea of ​​proving himself that Jiang Ziya stepped forward and took the initiative to recommend himself.

"I can probably guess what you're thinking. But the reality is, do you have any other choice besides me?"

"Given the current situation, we definitely cannot retreat. We can only hold on and wait for reinforcements. But if we want to defend, none of you have the confidence to do so. Only I have this confidence."

"Since you can't do anything, but I do, what else can you do except trust me?"

Jiang Ziya knew the concerns of the generals very well. They just didn't trust him. But so what? The current situation was like this. Before the reinforcements arrived, he was the only one who could defend the Beihai Kingdom. The generals had no choice but to trust him.

Either believe him or desert him, there is no third option.

"What abilities do you have? Tell us about it." After the generals calmed down, they asked Jiang Ziya.

It is good to be confident, but it is also necessary to make it clear where this confidence comes from. Jiang Ziya cannot just say that he has a solution without asking any questions and then immediately believe it.

This is a matter of life and death, so they have no choice but to be cautious.

In fact, the generals had previously placed their hopes on Wen Zhong, hoping that he could come up with a solution to help everyone resolve the current crisis.

But who would have thought that the generals had just arrived and hadn't even spoken yet, but Wen Zhong said that he had no other options and hoped that everyone could help him think of a solution.

Now all the generals were dumbfounded.

Of course, there are few fools who can become a general. Considering the actions of Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya, it is hard not to suspect that they are playing a double act. The purpose is to let Jiang Ziya establish his own prestige through this matter.

If it were any other time, the generals would definitely not be fooled so easily. But at this moment, the situation was critical and they could not care less. No matter whether it was a double act or not, as long as they could defend the North Sea Kingdom and save their lives, they would cooperate in any way.

"Everyone, no matter how eager the North Sea Monsters are to destroy us, they will not directly attack us with their entire army. Instead, they will first send out a portion of their vanguard troops."

"In other words, if we want to defend the North Sea Kingdom, we only need to hold off this wave of vanguard attacks."

"After that, when the North Sea Monster Tribe's army arrives, our support will be almost there. By then, even if a large army approaches, there is no need to be afraid."

Jiang Ziya analyzed for everyone that the times now are different from the past. In the past, it would take hundreds of years for the reinforcements from the princes to arrive in the North Sea.

But now, as void passages become more and more popular, transportation has become more and more convenient, and the time required for travel has been greatly shortened, at least a thousand times faster. The journey that used to take a hundred years can now be completed in ten days or half a month.

In other words, the speed of reinforcements from the four directions has greatly increased, and they don't need to hold out for hundreds or thousands of years. In as short as ten days and a half a month, or as long as several months, reinforcements will arrive one after another.

On the one hand, the speed of reinforcement has increased, but on the other hand, the North Sea Demon Clan is huge in size, and it is not possible to mobilize all of its forces in a short period of time.

Therefore, even if the North Sea demons wanted to attack them, they could only send a vanguard army in a hurry.

They had no power to resist the North Sea Monsters, but if they were just a vanguard army, it would not be a problem for them to hold out for a while.

"In addition, I have also improved the military formation, and its power has increased several times compared to before. With this, you should be relieved."

Fearing that he would not be able to convince the generals, Jiang Ziya revealed another trump card and spoke to them with a proud tone.

Jiang Ziya's aptitude was so poor that it was difficult for him to become an immortal. Logically speaking, he should have a very low self-esteem.

But the fact is just the opposite. Instead of feeling inferior, he is extremely confident and believes that he is a rare genius in the world.

If he had no confidence, how could Jiang Ziya dare to do so? And his confidence came from his further improvement of the art of military formation.

Just imagine, Jiang Ziya was valued by Yuanshi Tianzun and accepted as a disciple, so how could he be an ordinary person? He was indeed amazingly talented, but it was not reflected in the immortal way, but in the human way.

"What? You said you improved the art of military formation. How is that possible?"

"Ever since the demon race created the art of military formations, this art has gone through countless years of development and has long been close to perfection. There is no room for improvement."

"How dare you, a little cultivator who has not even set foot on the path of immortality, say that you have improved the way of military formations? Do you really think you are an ancient sage? Shut up and stop trying to attract attention here."

When the generals heard this, their first reaction was shock, followed by disbelief.

If this was said by a saint or some great master, they would believe it, but when it came from Jiang Ziya, they did not dare to believe it.

The art of military formations dates back to the early days of ancient times, when the human race had not yet been born. Emperor Jun, Taiyi, together with Emperor Xi, Emperor Wa, Emperor Kunpeng and others combined the wonders of the Zhoutian to jointly deduce the supreme way, which was the key to the rise of the demon race.

This way is to gather people together. It is born in response to the changes in human nature. It can gather the strength of all living beings and defeat the strong with the weak.

In the early days of the demon clan, their strength was far inferior to that of the witch clan. The reason they were able to survive the attacks of the witch clan and grow stronger was because of their military formations.
