Chapter 159: Potential
At the end of April, Cao Du organized another attack, but this time it did not go well, and before the fleet reached the frost island, it was blocked by a large number of monks on the way.
Although the Xuanfu also had a lot of people to follow, the other party was not afraid of death, even if it was some low-ranking monks, many of them also carried Xuan's soldiers, causing the fleet to suffer certain losses.
Attacking fleets in the wilderness is something that only the monks can do, because they are the only ones who can carry out long-term and sustained activities in the wilderness without any support or stationing.
There is no substitute for this, and even if some of the armored sergeants are not weak, they are far inferior to the monks in skirmishes.
Due to the large losses of the fleet, considering that it could no longer bring too much threat to the Frost Continent, the captain in charge of commanding the fleet this time immediately ordered to abandon the surprise attack and turn back early.
Cao Du did not criticize the captain too harshly, but praised him.
Although the raid did not achieve its goal, it succeeded in forcing out the hidden forces of the Frost Continent, and due to the captain's decisiveness, the loss was acceptable, and he could have organized another attack after he was fully prepared for the next round.
However, this incident also made him realize that he needed more support from the Xuan Mansion.
But perhaps because of his frequent and active efforts to seek cooperation with Xuanfu, he has been receiving letters from some people in the continent for some time recently.
Some of them questioned that his actions did not look like a military general, some advised him not to get too close to Xuanfu, and some suggested that he should use the power of the military government to conquer Frost Continent without relying too much on Xuanfu.
He threw aside all these letters, and it seemed to him that these people had only to move their mouths in the rear, but when something went wrong, it was he who was not the one who was punished.
And try to interfere in the war with his own likes and dislikes, this matter is big and big, and small is small, and a stricter general has already handed the reference book to the imperial envoy, that is, he was afraid of affecting the war situation, so he did not keep silent.
Besides, these people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and it will not be good if it affects the promotion of sergeants after the war.
Therefore, he just wrote down the names of these people in secret, and planned to wait until the war was completely calmed down and he would hand over the book after the merit was over.
After thinking about it, he wrote a letter with earnest wording, and then called Chai An and said: "You and Zhang Xuan are old acquaintances, and it is easier to speak, go back for me, and send this battle report and this letter to Xuan Zheng together." ”
After Chai An received the order, he turned back in the afternoon and said: "General, Xuan Zheng said that he already knows, but the general needs more manpower, and I am afraid that there will be insufficient outside the territory, so he needs to be dispatched from within the region, and Xuan Zheng still needs to discuss it with the head of Yunchen Dao, and he will reply to the general afterwards." ”
Cao Du was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Chai Junhou, you go down and rest first." ”
Chai An clenched his fists and said, "The general, the subordinates will retire first." ”
Cao Du stood in place for a moment and shook his head, saying that Zhang Yu was only Xuanzheng, but now he naturally treated him as the head of Xuan, so he thought that Zhang Yu could be the master of everything, but he forgot about the Xuanfu in the continent.
I am afraid that this is also the result of Zhu Xuanshou's long-term ignorance of the world, even if there is still a disciple Yunchen, but the sense of existence is far less strong than Zhang Yulai.
After Chai An came out of the interior, he saw a beautiful sergeant in a military robe waiting there, he walked up and said, "There should be nothing to do here today, I will accompany you for a walk." ”
The sergeant looked at him and said, "Have you forgotten something?"
Chai An was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
The female sergeant sighed helplessly, took out a sticker from her military uniform, patted him on the chest, and said, "You don't know how to care about your own students." ”
Chai An took it and took a look, and saw that it was the conscription order of his student He Mu, and he was overjoyed.
In this battle to conquer Frost Continent, because the chances of winning were very large, many people tried to send their relatives and friends to the army to get credit.
He also had this plan before, compared to these people, his student He Mu at least really has the ability, but it is not difficult to recruit, but it is a little troublesome to transfer to the right position, there is a set of complicated steps to follow, and there are many joints to be opened, so it has been delayed.
He looked at the female sergeant and said gratefully: "Yao Ji, thank you, I was still thinking about how to transfer this kid over, but I didn't expect you to have it done, it's great to have you by your side." ”
The female sergeant complained, "You think about this, you think about that, when have you thought about yourself?"
Chai An looked at the silhouette of her side face in a daze, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart, and said, "Yao Ji, when this battle is over, we will ......."
At this time, he suddenly noticed that the sentry guards guarding the side were staring at them, and immediately stopped his mouth, coughed, and said, "Go back and say, go back and say." ”
The female sergeant gave him a blank look, turned around, and walked away directly with the loud sound of military boots.
At this moment, outside the Fangtai station, Zhang Yu stood on top of a mound, the cicada on his body roared with a sword, and then flew out, and after a while, the sword light turned back.
In this short period of time, the Cicada Sword had slain a spiritual creature thousands of miles away, but it was not so easy to deal with a monk or an enemy of equal rank.
However, compared to last month, he has made some progress, and he does not expect to reach a high level all at once, as long as he can cooperate with his supernatural powers and visualization diagrams, it is enough.
After cultivating in the wasteland for a few days, he turned back to his station, and at this moment a monk presented a letter, saying, "Xuanzheng, Yunchen Dao Elder has returned to the book, and there are many books, and the disciple has already placed them in front of the case. ”
He took it and opened it to take a look, and Yun Chen replied that by January at the latest, enough manpower would be dispatched to support the war.
He walked over to the bookcase, set the letter aside, then sat down, took the scroll in his hand and looked through it.
This is the dossier he asked Yun Chen to collect about spelling and killing, making wishes, etc.
After encountering the Wishing Box that day, he was also thinking about how to deal with such a force.
Fortunately, in the alien god kingdom that Tianxia conquered in the past, he also encountered similar supernatural powers, and also wrote down the method of dealing with them, although these powers are different in some details, but in general they are not much different.
After he looked at it, he already had a rough idea in his mind.
Similar to wishing, cursing, killing and other methods, if you need to target a certain person, then you generally need to get the person's personal belongings and even essence and blood hair.
And the Wishing Curse kills someone, and it takes ten or even a hundred times the price to pay.
He thought about it for a moment, if that was the case, it would be almost impossible to directly curse and kill some powerful mid-rank monks, and even if it could be done, it would be more than worth the loss, and instead of doing so, the caster might as well use this technique to directly improve himself.
And if you make a wish for something, then you need to have a strong belief in it.
This is usually not something that can be done by one person, it requires a long and determined accumulation, and if it is not successful in the end, it may cause all kinds of mutations, such as the situation of the Helier people becoming gods and ghosts between life and death.
He thought about it, and in general, if the art of making a wish can be used, it is certainly very powerful, but once a wish is made for something, it cannot be easily changed, and it needs to be continued unswervingly.
This is also in line with the practice of the Heliers, who have spent thousands of years fulfilling their wishes, because of the role of the box, which makes their faith extremely strong, but even so, in the end, there is an accident.
Therefore, even if Shuangzhou has the art of making wishes, he doesn't have to worry about this generation using it against the monks, as for whether it will be used for other purposes, then he can only see the trick when the time comes.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.
The original empty wasteland seems to have been filled with military buildings, and as the rooftops of the boats are erected, more and more flying boats are flying here from the continent.
Zhang Yu stood on the big platform and looked at these scenes in front of him, Wen Liang was standing beside him at the moment, and said: "Xuanzheng, at present, the military government has transferred three thousand flying boats, and all of them are fighting flying boats, and there will be more in the future, and the number may reach tens of thousands." ”
Zhang Yu nodded, this is almost the number of fighting flying boats owned by the first army of the Sharp Strike Army, after all, it is not an attack on Taibo Divine Monsters, it should not increase anymore, even if it comes again, it should also be a flying boat.
His eyes lit up at this time, he looked back at the back, and said, "Our people are here too." ”
Wen Liang also looked at it, and didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, he saw hundreds of bright spots emerging in the eastern sky, and after a while, Fang could clearly distinguish that it was a brilliant light, and then there was a rumbling sound that flew through the sky.
And this kind of movement also made many soldiers in the military base be alarmed, and they came out of the self-camp one after another, standing on the flat ground to watch, and saw one after another like a long rainbow flying from the far sky, and then breaking through the air above their heads, and the air flow caused the flags above the military base to flutter.
Zhang Yumu stared for a while, and suddenly looked to the north as if he was aware of it, and saw that dozens of rays of light were floating there, flying towards the station.
After a while, I saw dozens of rays of light falling down in unison.
After the light dissipated, the people who appeared from inside were all dressed in Taoist robes, and the mana on their bodies was drumming, and there was no doubt that they were all true cultivators from the Spiritual Mystery Realm, and the first five people, each of them were monks who had cultivated the shadow of the primordial god.
Wen Liang stepped forward and stopped in front of Zhang Yu, looking at these true cultivators vigilantly.
At this time, a young monk came out from the opposite side, this was Yu Fu, who had come to Fangtai to pick up Mo Guangchen's soul before, he came up to make a joke and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng is polite. ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It turns out that you and these Taoist friends don't know why you are here?"
Yu Fuzheng said: "It was also Zhang Xuanzheng's news before, we only learned that many evil cultivators escaped to the Frost Continent, and this time my Spiritual Xuan Realm is also preparing to take advantage of the attack on the Frost Continent in the continent to solve this generation once and for all." ”
