Chapter 701: Isolationism
On the rough southern sea, Zhao Yuhang led the first detachment of the Atlantic Fleet to flee frantically. Behind it, there are overwhelming monsters.
No, it should be said that it is a demon clan!
This time, the fleet went deep into the southern ocean of the Continent of Rich Earth, and encountered the demon clan on a large island called 'Zhuyazhou' in the south of the continent.
According to the mark on the elephant, Zhu Yazhou sailed thousands of miles to the southeast and arrived at Fanghu Mountain. However, here in Zhuyazhou, the fleet has encountered unprecedented difficulties - the demon clan!
Here, there is even the existence of the demon clan.
Compared with demon beasts, the demon clan has a complete social system. With demon kings, demon generals, demon soldiers, etc.
Most of the demon beasts have an advantage over humans in terms of physique and size, especially the huge size, which also makes the true yuan (demon yuan) of the demon clan strong and strong. And the demon clan, which unified these advantages, was caught off guard by the fleet for a while.
Although the steel battleship is powerful, it is directly crushed by a few demon clans. But what if you encounter an overwhelming demon clan?
In a moment, two battleships had sunk, and the demon clan was still in hot pursuit. There's no way, the demon clan lacks spiritual materials, and now when I see a pile of steel floating on the sea, my eyes are red.
The fleet fled to the north, and Zhao Yuhang calmly commanded the battleships to fight, and the naval guns, ballistas, and even torpedoes continued one after another, but there were more demons.
Jiaolong or something, it's not unusual. There are even real dragons. It was a red divine dragon, with a hundred-meter-long body that slowly rose and fell in the sky, but it was biting the fleet tightly. All around was a burning flame, and the light of the flames reflected half of the sky.
The divine dragon continued to let out a long dragon groan, commanding the countless demon clans below to attack. Under the command of Shenlong, the attack of the demon clan was well coordinated and well-founded. Dragons, sharks, snapping turtles, sea snakes, seals, ospreys, and even giant albatrosses, sacred steeds, and even tigers and leopards that can run on the surface of the sea.
These monsters, small and small with schools of small red fish, they are very small, but they are attached to the surface of the battleship and gnaw at the enchantment. A little red fish may only have the ability of the Jindan stage and the early stage of the great Yuanying, but these little things are too many.
A large number of small red fish almost formed a red wave, rolling towards the battleship. Under the attack of these little red fish, the strength of the battleship's defensive barrier is reduced by 2% per hour, of course, there are spirit stones on the battleship to replenish the consumption, but this is not the way.
The sky, the sea, and the sea are all attacked by monsters.
Artillery, machine guns, ballistas, depth charges, torpedoes, etc., but they could only temporarily ensure the safety of the battleship. Once all the supplies of the battleship are exhausted, the consequences are unimaginable.
"General!" an officer came to Zhao Yuhang's side, "according to the current rate of attrition, the machine gun can hold out for 5 hours, the artillery can last for 14 hours, and the ballista can last for 17 hours."
Depth charges and torpedoes combined, which lasted only about six hours.
There are still a lot of spirit stones, and with the current consumption, it is no problem to persist for 10 days.
In terms of fuel, half of it is left. ”
Zhao Yuhang thought slightly, looked at the overwhelming demon beasts outside, and then looked at the fire dragon in the sky, as well as the Qingluan, flying tiger, and even the huge nine-tailed fox surrounded by the fire dragon, and gradually made a decision in his heart.
Zhao Yuhang said to Li Wei next to him, as well as the representatives of the masters of the Holy Land: "Everyone, there are too many demon beasts, and now the demon beasts seem to have learned to dodge. We need to do something about it. ”
"You say!" Li Wei said in a deep voice. The officer's report on the battleship just now also gave him a sense of urgency. Once the shells and the like run out, the consequences are unimaginable.
In the face of the overwhelming demon beasts, after the initial panicked crowd, they reacted quickly and began to calm down.
Although there are many demon beasts, there are also many god level, after all, this is the accumulation of the demon clan for many years. However, the demon clan is a demon clan after all, lacking a magic weapon of spiritual weapons, and its combat methods are relatively simple, mainly melee attacks.
The most important thing is that most of the demon clan's god level is concentrated in the low-end, and there are very few in the middle and high-end. On the other hand, the fleet is not, the proportion of the middle and high-end is much higher, and many of them have supernatural powers. Especially the masters of the Ocean Group, their whole body is a magic weapon - not bad money.
Zhao Yuhang looked at the demon beasts in the sky and calmly analyzed: "At present, it seems that only by getting rid of the flame dragon in the sky can the attack of the demon beasts be truly disintegrated. But it won't be easy.
But we can follow the steps. First of all, we concentrated the firepower of the fleet, and we used artillery, ballistas, etc. as cover to gain opportunities for the masters.
Then everyone rushed out of the battleship and quickly slashed the monster!
Right now, they are all god-level demon beasts. If it can be killed, it will be a huge unimaginable wealth!"
When it comes to wealth, everyone is red-eyed. Battles without benefits are not very attractive. But with the benefits, everything is good to say!
By telegram, the fleet already knew what was happening in the rear. Now that the strategic alliance and the strategic alliance are temporarily cooperating and preparing to jointly attack the Kunlun Continent in the east, more resources are needed at this time. And right now, it seems to be a resource!
The flesh and blood of god-level demon beasts can be used to refine pills and replenish qi and blood, demon beasts can be used to practice supernatural powers, and the bones and fur of demon beasts can be used to make magic weapons!
The most important thing is that if everyone doesn't make changes right now, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape, so it's better to fight and hunt these monsters to death.
Everyone quickly made an allocation. The Ocean Group occupies 3 percent of the spoils, and the remaining 70 percent is divided according to the holy places of all parties, including the transformation period of the Ocean Group, in the next battles and pays.
Li Wei spoke on behalf of the Dayang Group: "The Dayang Group will dispatch 50 Shenlong, Qingluan, and Flying Tigers who have supernatural powers to keep an eye on the sky, and are ready to support all parties at any time.
In addition, those who have long-range attack supernatural powers are also welcome to join. Our goal is to contain the high-end power of the demon clan.
On the battleship, there are more than a dozen flying boats, which can be taken out and used. These flying boats are the best technology of Dayang Group, at least one generation more advanced than the flying boats sold!"
"Dayang Group really has good things. Liang Chuan, who was from the Tiandu faction, said with a smile, which seemed a little shameless.
Li Wei squinted his eyes and snorted, "Love doesn't come." No, you have only recovered to the late Yuan Infant stage in your cultivation now, so you should stay on the ship honestly. The outside world is dangerous, don't accidentally get eaten by monsters. ”
Liang Chuan: "......"
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble!" The masters of other holy places hurriedly came over to pull the fight, everyone redistributed the personnel, and the battle immediately changed.
Instead of roaring wildly, the battleship began to attack in a planned way, saving ammunition. Once the demon beast was pressed down, the Transformation Stage team immediately rushed out. Under the planned battle, the situation on both sides quickly changed.
The fleet no longer simply fled, but began to actively pursue.
Wisdom is the greatest advantage of the human race!
As for the small red fish around the battleship, and even more demon beasts, they were attacked by some relatively idle god transformation periods, combined with depth charges, etc.
The depth charge tore through the formation and defense of the demon beast, and the god master took the opportunity to freeze and seal the demon beast, and the sailors skillfully scooped up the little red fish and others and packed them.
In the sky, hundreds of zhang of sword light bloomed in Li Wei's hand, and he took more than eighty people with supernatural powers, ready to slay the dragon. Although this dragon is powerful and there are many demon generals around, but in the face of more than eighty masters who have mastered supernatural powers, they can only roar angrily.
As a dragon, its flight ability, movement speed, flexibility, control of spells, body size, and true element (demon element), etc., can be said to surpass the average human cultivator in an all-round way. But what if there is a group fight?
There were only eight demon beasts on the Flame Divine Dragon's side, but there were more than eighty people on Li Wei's side, one out of ten.
After a moment of fighting, Shenlong and Qingluan and so on were divided. Then, the situation changed again. Three or five people dragged one demon beast, and the rest besieged one or two demon beasts.
Soon, the flying tiger, which was clumsy in action, let out a near-death wail.
The demon beasts below wanted to support, but they were blocked by naval guns, a large number of transformation periods, etc.
Suddenly, a master of the Dayang Group suddenly threw out a rope, and the scarred Flying Tiger did not dodge and was tied by the rope, and the next moment the rope directly circled and tightened around the Flying Tiger's neck.
......The tiger's roar turned into a low wail, and it felt the fear of death. As the rope tightened, there was a powerful force, cutting off the connection between the flying tiger's spiritual sense and body.
Suddenly, a rippling sword light flashed, it was the luster of the supernatural power, and the head of the flying tiger flew out directly.
With the death of the first high-level demon general, some tiger and leopard demon beasts that were fighting below suddenly let out a wail and began to flee in all directions.
The war is exactly like the human tilt in the direction.
Seeing this, the divine dragon roared angrily, and actually recalled all the demon beasts. The sea soon returned to calm, and the Terran masters did not dare to go too far from the warship.
"Clean up the battlefield and count the loot!" Zhao Yuhang calmly commanded. Although he had just broken through the Transformation Period, on the sea, the commander of the fleet was the absolute sovereign.
On the sea, the commander of the fleet needs a cool head and professional knowledge, not the cultivation of a master.
Zhao Yuhang explained this place and immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters of Dayang Group.
............
Here in the Ocean Group, Zhang Hao is communicating with the envoys from the East and the Liang Dynasty. This time, the envoy of the Liang Dynasty was none other than Gao Shang. This was Gao Shang's second visit to the Great Ocean Group, and he was shocked by the rapid development of the Great Ocean Group, and expressed the Liang Dynasty's idea of forming an alliance with the West and working together against the Twelve Families of the East.
Zhang Hao was cautious, "Lord Gao, we are glad to hear your decision. However, there is one thing we should be cautious about. Dongfang has been controlled by the Twelve Families for so long, how can we be sure that the Liang Dynasty is truly here to form an alliance?"
Gundam is not in a hurry yet, "I know that Mr. Zhang will ask this question." So, how about this?"
Gao Gao Shang took out a full 24 boxes from the storage ring, but saw that there were two lines of words written on these one-foot-sized boxes. The first line of words is a certain family, and the second line of words is a name.
Zhang Hao opened a box and gasped, this was a human head. Zhang Hao didn't know the head of it, but through the breath, this was undoubtedly the head of a god master, and it was not from the Golden Body realm, it was the real God Transformation Period!
The real incarnation period, even now, is a very important and core figure.
Generally, those who rely on the transformation technology to become the golden body realm can only be regarded as important personnel, but they cannot be regarded as core personnel.
Different from the golden body realm of some rotten streets, this kind of real god transformation stage master basically has a name and a surname, and it can be found.
Sadness flashed on Gao Shang's face: "In order to hunt down these masters of the Transformation Stage, the Liang Dynasty paid a huge price. But the situation has forced us to do so.
You would never have imagined that the 'Tiger Fang (Country) in the north, which invaded us, was actually arranged by the Twelve Families. ”
Zhang Hao frowned: "The conflict between the two countries of the Tiger Fang and the Liang Dynasty actually involves all twelve families?"
Anger flashed across Gao Shang's face, but his tone remained calm: "In order for the Twelve Families to maintain their long-term prosperity, they must let their descendants be baptized by war.
But where in the world are there so many wars? And how can the descendants of the twelve families be baptized by war?
No!
Unless, take the initiative to provoke a war!
The descendants of the Twelve Families fought side by side in a trench, established deep friendships, maintained the common interests of the Twelve Families, and then completed their growth after the baptism of war!
It is in this way that the Twelve Families complete the inheritance of their own families by provoking wars again and again. On the surface, the wars in the eastern countries seem to have their own causes, but in essence, almost all of them are fueled by the twelve families. ”
Zhang Hao's eyes were a little deep, and he had a deeper understanding of the inheritance of the twelve families and so on. But Zhang Hao still has questions: "I still have a question, since the war was initiated by the twelve families, and the twelve families are cultivating offspring, it is normal to have casualties, right?"
I can even think that the Twelve Families have a mortality indicator for their descendants!"
"That's good!" Gao Shang nodded, "Mr. Zhang, the twelve families do have death indicators. If a family wants to pass it on, it should be ruthless to others and to itself. Only by constantly pruning the stump branches and leaves can we ensure the longevity of the family.
But the mortality indicator is for the descendants of the twelve families, mainly in the primordial infancy and below. The descendants of the twelve families who participated in the war were generally cultivated from the late Jindan period to the late Yuanying period.
Instead, the Transformation Period!"
Speaking of this, Gao Shang paused slightly: "By the way, Mr. Zhang, have you ever come into contact with such an unspoken rule, that is, the rule that "you can't kill people below Yuanying during the Transformation Period"?"
Zhang Hao nodded, "I always thought this rule was good. It protects ordinary cultivators well and makes an indelible contribution to the prosperity of this world. I think that now the prosperity of the world, this rule has at least three successful labor!
Because of this rule, many gods do not dare to rob blatantly. Many outstanding cultivators are rising stars, and only then do they dare to travel and practice with confidence!"
Gao Gao Shang nodded, but there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth: "But Mr. Zhang may not know that the effect of this rule is only incidental." In essence, it is to protect the descendants and inheritance of the twelve families!"
"Huh?"
Gundam Shang said slowly: "Actually, the unspoken rule that you are not allowed to participate in the battle of ordinary people during the Transformation Period was led by the Twelve Families. Of course, there is a side to protecting ordinary people, but that is only incidental. The real purpose is actually to protect our own offspring!
In the war, the masters of the Twelve Families' Transformation Period will secretly protect their descendants. As soon as the good offspring are in danger, they will intervene.
There are three main ways to meddle. The first is to let the elite reserves attack, the second is to play the role of the Yuan Infancy, and the third is to directly intervene. However, the third type rarely occurs, except in an emergency.
And this time, we used this method to ambush the opponent's master when fighting with the tiger side in the north. In fact, there were no less than 2,000 of the god-level masters from the Tiger Fang, including those from the so-called Golden Body Realm. Among them, there may be 152 people in the real incarnation period, and now there may be even more.
Among them, because we deliberately ambushed and waited, we finally made up the 24 heads in front of us!"
Then, Gao Gao Shang sighed: "In fact, many countries are secretly hunting the masters of the twelve families. However, everyone has not done much, and they dare not make it public.
We are now taking considerable risks in order to win the trust of the Ocean Group. Once this matter is made public, the Twelve Families understand that we are deliberately ambushing their masters, then the Liang Dynasty will inevitably face the joint sanctions of the Twelve Families!
Once the twelve families make a move, they are afraid that all the high-ranking officials above the third grade, as well as the royal family, will not be left behind. ”
Zhang Hao was really shocked by Gao Shang's words. After pondering for a while, looking at the remaining 23 boxes that had not been opened, Zhang Hao said slowly: "Lord Gao, we will investigate everything you said." Now, I choose to believe in the Liang Dynasty!
So, I don't know if the Liang Dynasty wants to join the strategic alliance, or join the strategic alliance? ”
Gundam Shang was a little stunned: "We want to form an alliance with the Ocean Group!"
"No, no, no, the Ocean Group is just a business group, how can it be qualified to form an alliance with a country. ”
Gao Gao Shang stared at Zhang Hao deadly: You blow, you blow again! Although I have only been to the Ocean Group twice, the entire known world is spreading the legend of your Ocean Group. I know you very well about Dayang Group!
Facing Gao Shang's eyes, Zhang Hao's face was not red or panting, "Tall ......"
"Mr. Zhang!" Gao Shang's tone was a little solemn, "Mr. Zhang, our Liang Dynasty has shown such sincerity, Mr. Zhang should at least tell you a reason." ”
Zhang Hao stopped talking, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Isolationism!"
"Huh?"
"What the Ocean Group implements is isolationism. The so-called isolationism is a non-aligned strategy. The existence of the Ocean Group is so special that we take sides of the road, which can lead to unforeseen consequences.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Neptune Group pursues a policy of non-alignment.
The only thing we communicate with the outside world is business. Even if this cooperation promotes strategic alliances and strategic alliances, Dayang only participates in commercial cooperation. Military plans, etc., are only to assist the development of commerce. ”
Gundam Shang frowned.
(5,000 words, never lazy!)
