Chapter 1150: Initiating War
"After this time, Father, I have figured it out, everything is fake, strength is real, I will gradually let go of government affairs to you in the future, and most of my time will be spent on improving cultivation and training the army."
Wang Cheng shook his head and said: "Great Prince, when I become a true god, this position will be yours, don't be afraid of not waiting, my father promised you that I would make you a fighting saint like my father, you have a lot of time to wait, but it won't be too long." ”
"Becoming a true God? Let me become a Fighting Saint too? ”
The eldest prince was stunned, both shocked by the old king's ambition and surprised by the old king's promise, but after thinking about it carefully, since his father can achieve a fighting saint from an ordinary person, why can't he?
As for the father's achievement of the true god, it is also not hopeless, if the father helps the goddess of life to defeat the country of the dead, the goddess of life will never be stingy with divine grace, divine grace plus the resources of a kingdom, and the old king has five hundred years, it may not be hopeless.
"Father, we will do our best to help you fulfill the true God."
The eldest prince and the third princess said at the same time, with the future that Wang Cheng planned for them, both of them were full of energy, Wang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, but even these two didn't know that his goal was not just as simple as a true god.
……
Next, there was a big discussion, Wang Cheng, the eldest prince, the third princess, the seventh prince, and a large number of priests of the temple, a large number of nobles in the kingdom gathered and began to discuss the matters of the expedition in detail, and at the same time make various arrangements.
Basically, there is no opposition to the expedition, after all, everyone hates the country of the undead, and besides, this is the will of the goddess, the royal family, the temple, the duke, etc. all agree, who would dare to oppose it?
This kind of thing is not easy to do with a big wave of the hand, there are many matters in between, and this discussion is a full half a month, because there are supernatural forces in this world, so half a month is enough time for the country of life to spread the news of sending troops to other countries.
The Kingdom of Light had long wanted to send troops, and immediately agreed to the alliance of the Kingdom of Life, but instead of forming an alliance, they entered from their respective borders, and the other countries of the Justice League also agreed and began to prepare soldiers and horses to fight against the other countries of the Evil Alliance.
Having said that, although it is said to be a Justice League, there is no such thing as the United Nations, usually it is in its own way, only in name, and it doesn't even meet once a year, but now that the war is going to start, each country has sent a team to gather in the country of light as a mutual communication and command, so as to better exert the power of the alliance and eliminate all the evil camps.
The evil camp also has a god king, and they soon knew everything, and they also began to prepare for war, such as summoning back the necromancers outside, etc., the Justice League and the Evil Alliance are finally going to start a full-scale war after decades of peace, purely from the perspective of the Continent of the Gods, it is definitely a world war, basically most countries, most races will be involved.
Even the dragon island overseas is no exception, the dragon gods also sensed the breath of war, and began to discuss what they should do, they didn't want to be a spectator, but wanted to take the opportunity to return to the mainland, and at this time, the invitation of the old king of the country of life, which had been shelved, was once again put on the desk of the dragon gods, and the dragon gods once again began to discuss whether to accept the invitation of the old king of the country of life.
Other races, such as the elves, orcs, dwarves, the dark races underground, and even the demons who were suppressed by the gods and hid in the abyss plane, etc., were also affected by the breath of war, and the entire continent was about to start chaos.
Just like the stargazer said - the world is in chaos, and the catastrophe is coming!
These are far away for the time being, after half a month of discussion, the things that should be arranged in the country of life are also almost arranged, and the second prince was sent to lead the team to the country of light to participate in the alliance meeting, and at the same time, the framework of the expeditionary force with the seventh prince as the commander and the third princess as the high priest was basically completed, and the next thing is to add things to the frame and fill it up.
At the same time, the country of life launched a total war order, and every nobleman must send at least half of their private soldiers to join the expeditionary force.
In addition, the adult men in the commoners had received conscription orders, and the old king wanted to recruit 500,000 reserve troops to train in the royal capital, ready to support the expeditionary force at any time, for this, the seventh prince was opposed, because he thought that there was no need to use the expeditionary force, and the scale was too large, since it was trained by the old king, these reserve troops must be the old king's people.
However, Wang Cheng vetoed the opposition of the Seven Princes with the slogan of not destroying the undead and vowing not to give up, which was undoubtedly very enthusiastic and had the full support of the Temple of War, and they believed that the reserve army was very necessary, because if the undead were not defeated, they would never withdraw the army, even if the whole country was pressed up.
The seventh prince had no choice but to compromise, and when the various agendas were discussed, the old king suddenly knocked on the table and said with a smile: "Old Seven, you are going to the country of the dead this time, someone in the palace must help you sit in the town, and you should also leave descendants, no one knows what will happen in the war, so it is time to make a decision about your wife, it's been almost two months, what's the matter, my good son, are you picky?" ”
"Hahaha."
The nobles laughed one after another, looked at the seventh prince one by one, and said: "Yes, the seventh prince, it's time to choose a wife, the rear is stable, and you can fight with peace of mind in front of you, and it's time to leave offspring, this is also the doctrine of the goddess of life, everyone must have offspring." ”
The seventh prince smiled reluctantly, but he was cursing the old king in his heart, the other party is proposing this matter now, and he can't help but agree, after all, the reason is all on the other side, and if he doesn't have a suitable reason, he really can't refuse.
Originally, I thought that the old king would not have to make this choice when he died, but now the old king is not only not dead, but also alive, and he is full of energy even for half a month's meeting, and the plight of the seventh prince has to continue.
"Yes, Seventh Prince, it's time to make a choice."
The Duke of War said suddenly, and when he said this, he and the Duke of Commerce glanced at each other, and they both snorted secretly, the daughters of both of them liked the Seventh Prince, and they themselves also hoped to marry the Seventh Prince and make their daughter the queen, so that they could seek greater benefits for the family.
In the eyes of the two dukes, the wife of the seventh prince was born between them, but they didn't know that the seventh prince didn't look down on them at all, but in this situation, unless the seventh prince wanted to offend his two biggest helpers, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Duke of War, Duke of Commerce, in fact, I like the daughters of the two very much, and I really can't leave any of them behind, so ......"
Speaking of this, the seventh prince sighed, with an amorous and affectionate look, the Duke of War and the Duke of Commerce both snorted, although the country of life can marry two wives, but one is the same and the other has completely different statuses, they are both dukes, and it is impossible to agree to their daughters as deputies, how embarrassing it is to pass it out.
"Old Seven, this is easy to do, the Duke of War, the Duke of Commerce, you sell the old man to me a face."
Wang Cheng laughed when he heard this: "The two are married together, and I will call the shots for them, regardless of size, on an equal footing, how about it?" ”
"This ......"
The Duke of War and the Duke of Commerce were stunned, in fact, this kind of wife of equal status has not appeared in the history of the country of life, but both of them are dukes, is it too wronged to let their baby daughter marry a person at the same time?
The Seventh Prince looked at the old king suspiciously, wondering why he would make such a proposal to get the best of both worlds, it stands to reason that he shouldn't take this opportunity to sow discord and let him turn against one of the dukes?
Wang Cheng also glanced at the seventh prince, on the surface it was the kindness that belonged to his father, but secretly he sneered, how can one wife be enough, one wife is only one green hat, and two is two...... Ahem, it's wrong, one wife is only one Neiying, two wives are two, the duke has God's blessing to protect the body, but their vase daughter doesn't have it, Wang Cheng glanced at them, they can all get pregnant, uh, it's wrong again, it's controlled.
Moreover, who said that two women can't turn their faces after marrying the Seventh Prince, the two women are actually more terrifying, what is Gong Dou, have you heard of it?
At this time, although the other nobles were a little disappointed that their daughters could not marry the seventh prince, they still helped the old king persuade the two dukes: "Yes, the two dukes, there is no need to embarrass the seventh prince anymore, just marry together, this is a good thing, and it can also become a good story in the future, after all, the seventh prince is a peerless genius, and he may be able to become a true god in the future." ”
In front of the old king, these people naturally did not dare to say that they had obtained the throne and changed the true god of a higher goal, but with the qualifications shown by the seventh prince, it was not necessarily hopeless, so after a while of hesitation, the two dukes agreed half-pushed, and suddenly, there was a congratulatory voice in the venue.
The seventh prince seems to be very happy on the surface, with a sunny smile, but he is secretly gritting his teeth in his heart, although he did not offend any party, it can be regarded as a happy ending, but the original plan completely failed, and the dragon princess could not follow him without a name, of course, the dragon princess could not be small, so if the seventh prince wants to marry a wife, one or two are the same, it seems that if you want to get the help of the dragon clan, you have to think of other ways.
But thinking of the attitude of the cursed dragon god towards himself, and even blowing up the palace, the seventh prince had a headache again, what went wrong, didn't Burton say it well? Why did the attitude change so badly?
Wang Cheng laughed: "Okay, very good, according to our discussion, the army will be officially dispatched in two months, and then the wedding of the seventh prince will be held in a month, which should add some color and joy to our expedition, and everyone should prepare gifts." ”
"It's nature."
All the nobles laughed at the same time, although many nobles were disappointed, but they also fell a big stone in their hearts, and the seventh prince finally decided the marriage, so that his daughter could also die.
Of course, the big wedding or something is just an episode, and then, the chariot of the country of life will run at full speed according to the results of this discussion, everything is preparing for the war, Wang Cheng invited many fighting saints, sword saints or something to accompany him to fight, improve his combat skills, and look like he is practicing diligently, but this is a complete waste of time in the eyes of some people, such a quick fighting saint, no matter how diligent it is, what is the use, the foundation is too weak, and there is basically no possibility of taking a step forward.
Wang Cheng is just preparing for the future, and during this time, what he is really planning is another thing - to find a suitable new body.
This new body must meet several conditions, the first is the existence of itself that can devour the soul, because Wang Cheng's purpose in wanting this new body is for the soul, after all, he is a soul demon, and the fastest way to improve is to devour the soul, in fact, this is also one of the reasons why Wang Cheng wants to promote this war - only in the war, will a large number of saints die, so that he can be fed by the soul demon.
However, because of the special rules of the kingdom of God in this world, the soul is to return to the kingdom of God, even the soul of the saint is no exception, it is not difficult to swallow the soul, but if there are successive souls of the saint who do not return, then it will be troublesome, God will definitely pay attention to it personally, and send many people to investigate.
Therefore, the new body chosen by Wang Cheng must be able to devour the soul, so that after being discovered, it will not arouse suspicion and will not involve his true identity.
Not only that, but this new body must also be able to disguise, that is to say, a general disguised as a human being mixed up on the battlefield to secretly devour the soul, only in this way can Wang Cheng hide from the world, after all, even if his design is exquisite, people can't detect him, but once a large number of sage souls disappear, there will definitely be problems, and at that time, a back-handed man will be needed.
"Devouring souls, it can only be a demon, and if it can be disguised as a human demon, it is a shadow demon, a shadow demon in order to devour souls, disguised as a human general to go to the battlefield, secretly devouring souls in the battlefield, and at the same time disguise these souls are destroyed by the aftermath of the battle, which is reasonable."
Wang Cheng secretly thought, there are also demons in this continent of gods, and in ancient times, there were also battles between gods and demons, which ended with the victory of the gods, and all the demons were driven to the abyss plane outside the continent of gods, but there have always been people who summon demons, so there are often legends of demons in the continent of the gods, and there are often demons as disasters.
"Then, let's summon a god-level shadow demon, this time has been almost studied in the demon summoning technique, it should be possible to designate a demigod-level shadow demon, in addition, the dragon side should also hurry up, has already controlled a lot of dragons, but it is said that the dragon gods are discussing whether to become my allies, for the time being, don't let them come, and when it really can't be done, then use this trick."
Wang Cheng thought of something, and immediately laughed: "Speaking of which, there is no hope for the seventh prince to marry the princess of the dragon clan, but I, who is a father, can still help him fulfill his wish, anyway, I don't have a queen." ”
