The Emperor is Above

Chapter 136 Get ready for war!
"Priest Hei Kui is very wise, I was just reckless."

"The clan leader has a far-reaching strategy. If we can occupy the isolated hill, we can attack or defend. It is really a brilliant move."

"Commander Zhongsheng is really amazing. We rough guys just can't figure out the reason behind it. It's no wonder that he is entrusted with such an important task by the clan leaders and elders."

The wild totem warriors flattered like a torrent, not only praising their own clan leader and the cat-ghost priest Hei Kui for their unparalleled divination, but also praising the intermediate totem warrior who led the team.

Qing Yi was extremely annoyed. He thought that it was Tun Shigu who lured the Cat Demon God to Guqiu. He did not expect that even if he did nothing, Guqiu would become a strategic stronghold that the people of Daze had to take because of its important geographical location, and it became a thorn in the eyes of the Cat Demon God priest.

Thinking of this, he secretly felt fortunate in his heart. Even with the four dragon claw locust tree spirits as his trump cards, he had been working hard to enhance the overall strength of himself and Guqiu. Otherwise, when the crisis came, he would be at the mercy of others.

"Commander Shui Ma Zhongsheng, why is the camp so noisy tonight? Don't you know that such a loud noise will easily expose our whereabouts?"

A shout came from deeper in the reed marsh, and three cat-ghost priests in black robes walked out of the darkness. The three figures looked particularly eerie in the firelight.

Among the three priests, the two black-robed priests at the back had a strange cat face logo the size of a palm on their chests, but the leading priest had nothing on his black robe.

"Hua Ni, you are such a clever little ghost!"

Gently stroking the civet cat's round belly, Qing Yi gently praised the fat cat.

After the tabby cat chased the black cat all the way here, it did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the group of cat ghost priests. Instead, it used the method of teleportation to capture the symbol and went home to report.

The black-robed priest had a gloomy expression on his face, and he was holding a wounded black cat in his arms. This was obviously the escaped black cat. It had actually managed to escape the pursuit of the civet cat, but it still looked very weak.

The intermediate totem warrior Shui Ma Zhongsheng seemed not to have heard the unhappy question from the cat ghost priest. He came forward with great enthusiasm and explained repeatedly:

“Please don’t blame me, Priest Hei Kui. My brothers have been in the camp for several days and were almost suffocated. It happened that we hunted a lot of giant antelopes, deer, and sheep today, so I will give them some relaxation and happiness.

We are close to the Jiming Lake, and there is no human habitation for dozens of miles around. There are also ponds, swamps and marshes everywhere, with millions of wild animals. The vassal ministers of the Marquis of Xing and the common people will never discover us.

Even so, I have placed some sentries around the camp, so if any outsiders approach the camp unexpectedly, we will definitely be on guard in advance."

After hearing Shuima Zhongsheng's explanation and the comprehensive arrangements, Priest Heikui nodded slightly and forced himself to relax.

However, he still warned with a serious face: "I also know that you warriors have been working hard recently, but since the fat cat chased my servant yesterday and found this place, we still have to be as careful as possible."

"That's for sure. We will follow your orders, Priest Hei Kui!"

Shui Ma Zhongsheng patted his chest to make the promise, and then smiled cautiously, "Priest Hei Kui, it's not a good idea for us brothers to stay here all the time. When are we going to attack that lonely hill?"

Seeing the man in black robe turning his head to look at him, Shui Ma Zhongsheng smiled apologetically and explained: "Priest Hei Kui, please don't misunderstand, I am not questioning your decision.

He just felt that he was just a small sergeant's fief, deep in the wilderness and swamp, with no reinforcements within forty miles around him. Even though his subordinates were slightly stronger than ordinary sergeants, they still had several sixth- and seventh-grade exotic beasts and birds.

But with the strength of our brothers and you, Priest Hei Kui, it would be easy to sweep through, so why should we be so cautious? "

Seeing that Priest Hei Kui was silent, another black-robed priest who had been silent behind him suddenly spoke:

"Priest Hei Kui, I have seen the fat cat that chased us yesterday. It is the one raised by Gu Qiuyi. It is now a sixth-grade exotic beast. It accidentally discovered our whereabouts. If we continue to delay here, I am afraid we will be exposed."

Hearing the voice of the young priest in a cloak, Qing Yi's expression suddenly became strange. He recognized the man's true identity. It was Kou Qiang's brother and Kou Rui's eldest son - Kou An.

I thought that only Kou Qiang joined the Cat Ghost God Cult, and Kou Rui's family was greedy for money and benefits, so they provided convenience and support for the activities of the Cat Ghost God Priests. Unexpectedly, both brothers secretly joined the Cat Ghost God Cult.

"Priest Kou An, I understand your feelings. Kou Qiang's divine servant was monitoring Tun Shigu, but was chopped to pieces and burned by Gu Qiuyi, causing Kou Qiang's soul to be damaged and turned into a living dead. Gu Qiuyi also cut off your father's hands and feet.

I admire and support your efforts to avenge your father and brothers, but the depth of the burial mound is hard to guess.

I am a mid-level divine servant with the strength comparable to that of a sixth-grade exotic beast. Even if I cannot eliminate all of Guqiu Yi and the others, I must at least find out the depth of Guqiu's strength.

But I didn’t expect that after wandering around the solitary hill for a month, I couldn’t even get close to the mound, and I didn’t know what was blocking it.”

The leading black-robed priest revealed Kou An's intention, but he sighed again, "I spent a huge price to revive the intermediate servant of God, but it will take at least two months to recover.

So I originally planned to attack Solitary Hill a little later, just to wait for the high-level servants sent by my god. I don’t believe that a small lord’s fiefdom can withstand the strength of a fourth-grade alien beast?

But now that we are in danger of being exposed, and the morale of the warriors of the Water Horse Tribe is high, let's set out early tomorrow morning and try to storm Solitary Hill at dawn the day after tomorrow.

Even if this operation still fails to break through the lonely hill, before the high-level servants arrive, we can still test the opponent's strength. "

Upon hearing the order from Priest Hei Kui, Shui Ma Zhongsheng immediately announced to hundreds of wild warriors excitedly: "Brothers, get ready. We will set out to attack Lonely Hill early tomorrow morning!"

"Great! I've been holding it here for a long time!"

A savage man jumped up excitedly and danced loudly.

"Haha, let's go rob money, rob food, rob women!"

More wild folk warriors directly expressed their inner thoughts, which is the life pursuit of them.

Looking at the group of wild warriors in the reed marsh who were like a group of demons dancing wildly, Qing Yi waved to Gongsun Wu calmly, picked up the little fox, hugged the civet cat, and turned away quietly.

If I didn't know the plans of the Cat Demon God Priest and the people of the Oze, if I didn't know that the other party chose Solitary Hill as a strategic stronghold, and if I didn't know that the various tribes of the Oze people had reached an alliance under the coordination of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Demon God Cult, I'm afraid I would suffer some losses.

However, now that they know the other party's conspiracy, the ones who will suffer are these savages of the Water Horse Tribe who are dancing happily.

Since the other party chose to set off early the next morning, Qing Yi decided to travel overnight and return to Guqiu as soon as possible in order to gain more preparation time.

Fortunately, with the little fox's advance warning and the protection of illusion, they managed to dodge many powerful predatory beasts along the way and finally returned to the hill exhausted at dawn.

"My dear, brother, what have you encountered along the way?" Master Tu Gu came over attentively to ask about his well-being. Da Niu brought him hot soup and hot rice, and also prepared clean water for him to wash.

Qing Yi, however, didn't care about anything else. He asked Gongsun Wu to quickly gather everyone together and said, "Get ready for battle!"

PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets from Tempting Wife and Daughter, and Descendants of Emperor Shun, and thank you for the reward from Blame the Heaven. I suddenly found that the monthly tickets from Yuewen have been doubled these days. No wonder I have to update again so soon.
