Chapter 332: The Art of War by Sun Tzu: The Lord should not raise an army in anger (7k in total, please subscribe)

The Ten Thousand Souls possessed by the Snow Girl, combined with the mobility of the demon soldiers, allowed her to arrive at the battlefield first.

Ice and snow versus typhoons and rainstorms.

The huge waves that were coming in droves came to an abrupt stop under the freezing of the Snow Girl and turned into a world of ice and snow.

She seemed to be fighting against the power of heaven and earth with her own strength.

A small number of charging mermaids had no time to dodge and were frozen by the blizzard, while the human soldiers were safe and sound.

"Yuki-onna! Yuki-onna!"

The soldiers cheered in unison, their morale soared. Some of them ignored the moving ice and snow, flew out from the city wall, and smashed the attacking mermaids to pieces.

These soldiers had long heard that the commander had a snow girl under his command, who led tens of thousands of ghost soldiers to protect the peace of Longzhou.

"The ghosts obey orders, assist the soldiers, and kill the mermaids."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The scholar ghost took the lead, and whenever the work was easier, this ghost always ran particularly fast.

The officers shouted:
"Conserve your energy and blood, and don't hurt your allies!"

Originally, most of these soldiers were warriors at the Body Tempering Realm. When they saw ghosts, they released their blood and energy, which would cause great harm to their allies.

Therefore, the Snow Girl controlled the ghosts, floated into the air to provide support, or fought against the mermaids in the water.

An evil ghost that was good at venom was lurking in the water. Seeing the mermaid coming, it stabbed it suddenly, causing the mermaid to scream.

"Retreat, retreat."

“It’s all solid ice there.”

The vanguard of the mermaids was suddenly hit by the ghost army and quickly chose to retreat and regroup.

As for the Snow Girl, she stared coldly at Chiwen, locking onto the other's soul and looking for an opportunity to freeze it.

Hai Yuan controlled Chi Wen and asked in a deep voice:
"Snow Girl, you are also an alien, why do you want to help humans?"

The Snow Girl is a ghost, a demon that the human race needs to exorcise, but she stands firmly on the human race's side, which gives Haiyuan a headache.

"Anyone who has anything to do with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect deserves to die."

"Besides, you are the outlier!"

Seeing that he could not persuade it, Haiyuan did not take it seriously and immediately attacked the city wall again. It always stayed outside the iron wall of the Great Wall.

Outside the Great Wall is a place filled with fog. Many sea beasts and demons hide in the fog and take advantage of the situation to attack the enemy.

The Chiwen struck hard, causing the earth to shake.

In order to ensure the frozen area, the Snow Girl reduced the hardness of the ice, and Chiwen instantly controlled the second wave to attack.

The merman army avoids the huge waves.

With a loud bang, the icebergs that had just frozen broke into pieces, and huge waves surged, as if they were going to destroy the entire Zhenhai City.

"Certainly!"

The Snow Girl was not afraid at all. The power of tens of thousands of ghosts gathered on her. With the help of the "Record of Ghost Creation", she exerted a strength close to that of a spiritual god.

This huge wave came to an abrupt halt again and was frozen into an ice sculpture.

The strong men on both sides, one controlling the ocean and the other using ice, fought back and forth, as if using the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, competing against each other.

The morale of the soldiers soared again, and they began to break away from their previous beliefs and develop new ones.

They shouted the name of the Snow Woman:

"Yuki-onna-sama, Yuki-onna-sama!"

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory!"

After this battle, the legend about the Snow Girl being able to freeze the wind and waves began to spread in Longzhou, and the fishermen had one more deity to worship.

Marquis Zhenhai and Marquis Jingping breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the might of the great formation, the two of them could barely match the might of heaven and earth, but they could not be as important as the Snow Girl.

"The Marquis has indeed not forgotten Zhenhai City!"

The two shouted loudly:

"Everyone, assist Lady Snow Woman to fight against the mermaids!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

The giant whale condensed by the Marquis of Zhenhai frantically absorbed the sea water to relieve the pressure on the Snow Girl.

The mermaid armies gradually retreated. Although their numbers were large enough, after several losses, their elite troops were already slightly insufficient.

If General Ye Ming were still alive, he might be able to participate in this level of battle.

But now they can only retreat back in frustration.

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory!"

The soldiers of Zhenhai City were initially demoralized by the destruction of the Iron Wall Great Wall, and then they were suppressed by the iron-blooded means of Marquis Zhenhai and Marquis Jingping. Now, seeing the Snow Girl display her divine power, their mood has changed.

Will win!
Sometimes confidence is more important than gold. With such belief, the soldiers burst out with amazing fighting power.

The giant whale above Zhenhai City became more and more stable, and its strength continued to rise!
Marquis Zhenhai and Marquis Jingping dispatched troops to kill as many mermaids as possible.

"Amazing!"

"Sister Snow Girl is so amazing."

"It is a miracle that I can reach this point just by relying on my spiritual cultivation."

Fairy Fengyao admired sincerely.

After Nangong Hen's death, the Snow Girl's mind was further liberated, and her strength increased dramatically, approaching that of a superior ghost king.

After all, Nangong Hen's soul was swallowed by the Snow Girl, becoming part of her revenge.

This snow girl's understanding of the soul and her comprehension of the "Record of Creation of Ghosts" have been greatly enhanced.

She is worthy of being the second strongest person under Chu Wujiang, second only to Fairy Feng Yao.

Chu Wujiang shook his head:

"Not yet."

"Chiwen is too strong, Xuenu is close to her limit, and Haiyuan is just testing the waters."

If the remains of Emperor Linyuan were just an ordinary soul, then the Sitianjian and the Biluo Immortal Palace would not be so nervous.

As expected, Haiyuan controlled Chiwen and said loudly:
"Snow Girl, if this is all your strength, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"Don't destroy your hard-earned cultivation for these despicable humans."

The Snow Girl said coldly:
"Too much nonsense."

"The princess of your merman clan, the ruthless ghost king Ye Wu Yue, has been refined by me into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

"The same fate befell the mermaids."

After the Snow Girl finished speaking, she released the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, which transformed the mermaid clan's once ruthless ghost king into the appearance of a mermaid.

This ruthless ghost king has now become a puppet.

"Ye Wu Yue, tell your compatriots."

The Merciless Ghost King struggled, but her soul orb fell into the hands of the Snow Girl, and she had become a miserable puppet ghost. She had no choice but to shout as she was told:
"Mermaid warriors, stop following Haiyuan. I am the most noble bloodline of the mermaids."

"Humanity is invincible. Only by surrendering to humanity can we have a chance of survival."

The Snow Girl said coldly:
"Your Majesty!"

The merman, the incarnation of the Merciless Ghost King, knelt on the spot and kowtowed for mercy:
"I am guilty. I have killed many people."

"I am willing to accept the punishment of the human race."

The Snow Girl continued:

"Then bark like a dog."

The Merciless Ghost King wanted to resist, but her body and soul had already been controlled, and she could only shout loudly in the air:

“Woof! Woof! Woof!!!”

On the battlefield, both the human soldiers and the mermaids fell into deathly silence.

Despite the typhoon and heavy rain, sea water still rushed in through the gaps in the iron wall of the Great Wall.

The whole world is still noisy.

But the soldiers' hearts were extremely quiet and they couldn't believe their ears.

If the Snow Girl hadn't used her soul power on purpose, how could they have heard the horrible dog barking so clearly.

While doing this terrifying thing, the Snow Girl whispered:
[Husband, is this too much? ]

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

[Snow Girl, you did a great job. ]

[How can we make Haiyuan lose his mind without completely angering them? ]

[But from now on, the mermaid will probably attack you like crazy. ]

The Snow Girl smiled faintly:
【so what? 】

【I am not afraid of them. 】

A man and a ghost jointly planned this astonishing conspiracy.

The mermaids never expected that the shame of their clan would fall into the hands of the Snow Girl, and that they would become puppets of the human race.

The human soldiers began to wonder who the villain was.

Us?
Wouldn't this anger the mermaids?

The soldiers' morale, which had just risen, dropped a little.

The mermaids were extremely angry:

"Our leader is Hai Yuan, not some Ye Wu Yue!"

“Haiyuan, Haiyuan!”

Not every soldier could hear the language of the mermaids, but their anger resounded through the sky.

In an instant, the typhoon and heavy rain slowed down a lot.

The voice of Ye Hui, the chief priest of the mermaids, resounded throughout the Zhenhai City:
"The former princess of the Ye family, the previous high priest Ye Wu Yue, was expelled forever for betraying the mermaids!"

"Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with ten night-shining pearls and one hundred human slaves!"

The mermaid warriors were enraged and shouted:
"Kill humans!"

"Don't let anyone go!"

"kill!!"

The mermaids' eyes were red, and even a torrential rain could not extinguish the fire of anger in their hearts.

The mermaids, who were about to retreat under the intimidation of the Snow Girl, even ignored the orders of their superiors. They rode on large seahorses and sharks and used the water force to launch another attack.

Seeing this, Marquis Jingping did not have time to blame the Snow Girl for her recklessness. He immediately shouted:

"Soldiers, this is what we are going to do!"

"Don't let a mermaid go!"

When the soldiers of Zhenhai City saw the merman coming, they remembered the fight just now and shouted:
"Mrs. Snow Lady will win!"

No matter what Lady Snow Woman does, it is right.

The fight between the two sides started again.

The Snow Girl raised her hand, intending to freeze him again, but Haiyuan calmed down in his anger.

[Mr. Nangong once said that there is a saying in the human race’s military tactics.]

[A ruler should not raise an army in anger, and a general should not go to war in anger! ]

[But I must make the human race pay the price! ]

Chiwen finally swam into the iron wall and shouted loudly:

"Warriors of the mermaid tribe, are you afraid of the darkness?"

"Not afraid!"

The mermaid soldiers roared as they fought.

"The mermaids have become accustomed to living in eternal darkness. We will bring darkness to the human race!"

As soon as Chiwen finished speaking, it closed its eyes.

Zhulong Heart Sutra——Darkness is coming!
This time, not only the area within a few dozen meters around, but the entire Zhenhai City, within a radius of ten miles, was completely turned into darkness.

In the darkness, the tsunami came again.

The snow girl's expression changed slightly.

Zhenhai City turned into a lightless darkness, and the scope continued to expand.

As the first King of the East China Sea and a man with the talent of Chiwen, it is impossible for Di Linyuan not to understand the "Zhulong Heart Sutra".

Even though Haiyuan had no way to unleash the power of the corpse, he could still easily use common moves like Darkness Descent.

Night has fallen.

The soldiers could not see the enemy or their own people.

It was a stormy day and visibility was already very low. The soldiers of Zhenhai City couldn't help but fall into panic, and the Giant Whale Formation couldn't help but shake.

"Uru!"

The mermaids cheered and launched a fierce attack again.

This is just their vanguard, with the Netherworld Sea Serpents following closely behind, spewing poisonous mist.

Although the battlefield has become extremely cold, the sea snakes from the deep ocean are not as afraid of the cold as their compatriots on land.

They have long been accustomed to the deep and cold sea, just like these mermaids who grew up in the dark. They have a pair of emerald green pupils and their vision in the dark is more convenient than that of humans.

Jingping Hou's expression changed, and he immediately gave the order:
"Quick, turn on the lights!"

Zhenhai City set up a large number of lighthouses and deployed night combat troops to prevent mermaids from attacking at night.

Following Marquis Jingping's order, the soldiers began to act quickly.

boom! boom! boom!
Flying lanterns, or objects similar to Kongming lanterns, flew into the sky.

These Kongming lanterns are all inlaid with spiritual stones. They emit strong light, illuminating the Zhenhai City shrouded in darkness.

"Knock them off!"

Haiyuan's former personal guard Haiyi personally led the charge. In the pitch-black environment, the mermaids became even more excited.

The sea was surging, and mermaid troops were coming in an endless stream from the Iron Wall Great Wall, among which the flying-winged electric eel was one.

Their fighting power is not strong, but they can fly for a short time and release lightning. Flying electric eels leap out of the sea, fly towards the human's sky lanterns, and release lightning to destroy them.

Marquis Zhenhai and Marquis Jingping divided the work and cooperated with each other, one was responsible for dispatching the General Administration, and the other was responsible for special operations and responding to emergencies.

When Marquis Jingping saw the flying electric eel, even though it was the first time he saw this new type of soldier, it did not prevent him from knowing how dangerous the electric eel was.

"Sharpshooter, release the arrow!"

The archers who were shooting at the mermaids just now turned their arrows around and killed the electric eels with one strike. The bloody battle of mincing and scrambling had just begun.

After Chiwen released the black curtain and continued to cause tsunamis, he deliberately controlled his strength to a certain level to reduce consumption.

After all, the Snow Girl is the Ghost King, and there is a giant whale military soul next to her. Unless it uses all its strength, it will be impossible to destroy both of them.

But Chiwen always conserved his strength to ensure he could evacuate from the water vein.

It wants to kill Chu Wujiang, but only on the premise that it will not destroy Di Linyuan's body.

The remains of a powerful soul-level being that is powerful enough to trigger the arrival of the Demon King are treasures that can only be found when the mermaids are at the peak of their fortune.

There will never be such a good opportunity again.

The Snow Girl frowned and froze the incoming waves again and again, but the next time the ice was broken by the waves.

Zhenhai City fell into a state of anxiety. The mermaids seemed to be endless. They linked their demonic energy into one. Not only did their combat power increase greatly, but the suppression of the Holy Emperor's formation on them became weaker and weaker.

The scope of darkness was expanding, and Zhenhai City became a lighthouse on an isolated island, seemingly crumbling.

Fairy Feng Yao couldn't help but close her eyes, and the phoenix body in her body was ready to move.

"Husband, are you going to take action?"

"If I use that ball of blood, I have a 30% chance of killing with one strike."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"no!"

"Haiyuan is too rational. Even though it has entered the Iron Wall, the energy stored in the Water Spirit Pearl is still sufficient."

"This is just the mermaid's vanguard. They still have a large number of reserve troops."

"Zhenhai City looks shaky, but unless Haiyuan takes action, nothing will happen."

Chu Wujiang possesses orange martial luck and purple literary luck. With these luck combined, he is just as Grandpa Qin said, a natural born general.

"The war has now entered its second phase, the bloodiest stalemate."

"It consumes vital energy to maintain the dark side."

"Look at the mermaids in the reserve team. They are continuously transmitting their demonic energy to Haiyuan."

"It's just the right time to consume their strength. The Chu family army, Taodu guards, and the palace guards are on their way. We have time."

Chu Wujiang possesses the [Yin-Yang Eyes] and the [Eye of Truth], which allow him to see through the changes behind the scenes. He evaluates the power comparison between the two sides and continues to use the [Invisibility Talisman] to conceal his and Madam Feng Yao's auras.

Fairy Fengyao pondered and said:
"My dear, I have the seeds of Phoenix Breath, which can be planted in Zhenhai City to help the soldiers recover and heal the wounded."

The soldiers at the front were fighting the most brutally.

The big guys, however, were competing in strategic concentration in the rear, not moving a muscle.

This was a little unbearable for her.

Feng Yao could understand the military layout, but she was unwilling to wait like this.

After all, human soldiers die every minute.

The black masses of merman soldiers, with the help of the waves, rushed up the city walls, and were then killed by sword energy, poison arrows and other means.

Similarly, in stormy weather, mermaids can always take advantage of the weather. Some mermaids even fly into the sky with the help of typhoons and directly attack the city walls.

The battles in the world of martial arts turned this extremely bad weather into favorable weather for the mermaids.

It rained all over Longzhou.

Fairy Feng Yao observed the casualties of the human soldiers and quickly came up with a way to rescue the soldiers and heal their wounds.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Okay, my lady, transfer the power to me."

Fairy Fengyao asked in surprise:
"Husband, are you serious?"

She thought Chu Wujiang would reject such a stupid approach.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"I am not a heartless person, and this is a way to have the best of both worlds."

"My lady, if you want to stay in perfect condition and you can't absorb the energy of heaven and earth, and you still want to treat the soldiers' injuries, then use medicine."

"Here are some Earthly Spirit Pills and White Sun Pills. Give them all to my wife."

"My lady, remember to do what you can."

Fairy Fengyao showed a look of delight.

In addition to the mutual attraction between dragon energy and phoenix blood, her favorite thing is that no matter what happens, her husband can always come up with a corresponding solution.

There is nothing in the world that can stump my husband.

But she still asked:
"Husband, these pills are priceless."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"The purpose of the pill is to save people."

“Don’t worry about waste.”

If this war continues, the pension will consume most of Longzhou’s treasury. Why would we care about priceless elixirs?

Spend it all on me.

Fairy Fengyao showed a look of delight:

"Yes, husband."

I didn't choose the wrong person.

Only someone like my husband can take the helm for the human race.

Although Fairy Feng Yao is a peerless genius, she is only ranked tenth. In terms of peerless geniuses alone, there are nine people ahead of her.

Not to mention the born saints, the sons of destiny, and the heroes accumulated through the ages.

That's why she chose Chu Wujiang so decisively, not only because of her affection for him, but also for her own career.

Now she took two Earth Yuan Lingdan pills and passed the Phoenix Breath condensed in her body to Chu Wujiang through the ability of eternal unity.

Chu Wujiang also stimulated resonance between each other through eternal bond.

The Snow Girl received this energy and immediately shouted:
"Soldiers, the commander ordered me to deliver a secret treasure to heal the wounds."

"This is a gift from the Commander!"

As soon as the Snow Girl finished speaking, a warm sacred fire was lit above the city, which could not be blown away by a typhoon or extinguished by a rainstorm.

This sacred flame not only illuminates the darkness, but also forms a small phoenix of fire.

The Fire Phoenix breathed out Phoenix Breath towards the injured soldiers, giving the seriously injured soldiers a chance to survive and being carried away by the medical team for treatment.

The morale of the soldiers struggling in the darkness was boosted:
"The commander is with me!"

"May the commander win!"

The soldiers were very simple creatures. When the Snow Girl came to stop the huge waves, they worshipped her as a god. When Chu Wujiang sent them the Breath of the Phoenix, they cheered for Chu Wujiang.

The mermaid's offensive inevitably came to a halt with the help of these soldiers.

The meat-grinding war between the two sides became more bloody.

Often, hundreds of mermaids would rush to the city wall of Zhenhai City and be killed in less than half a quarter of an hour, and the human soldiers were not much different.

As for the Netherworld Sea Serpents, they were too large, and before they could get close, they were targeted by various formations, talismans, and sword energy, resulting in heavy casualties.

At this time, Zhenhai City was like a beacon in the dark night, standing firm under the siege of the mermaids.

The high priest Ye Hui felt heartbroken. Every mermaid who charged forward was the bravest warrior of the tribe.

The elite of the tribe bled dry.

Ye Hui said quickly:

"Captain, let the Siren troops go!"

"Or you..."

Your strength should be enough to break down the walls.

Haiyuan controlled the sea water, which continuously poured into the Iron Wall Great Wall to attack the Snow Girl and consume her power.

Seeing the high priest's complaining expression, he said in a deep voice:
"The other party deliberately fought a war of attrition with us and used such despicable means to provoke me."

"How many reserve troops does the enemy have? Will the human race's Sitianjian and Yuanshen strongmen suddenly appear?"

“These are all unknowns.”

"Don't fall for the enemy's trick. Let the vanguard continue fighting!"

The high priest did not dare to object and quickly agreed:
"Yes, leader."

Haiyuan recalled his last conversation with Nangong Hen.

"Mr. Nangong, do you think the mermaids can defeat the human race?"

Nangong Hen sneered:
"No hope."

Haiyuan asked unwillingly:
"Why?"

Nangong Hen said disdainfully:

"The Heavenly Mandate Dynasty ruled over hundreds of states, had tens of millions of elite warriors, and was rich throughout the world."

"Peerless geniuses like you are rare in an era, but how many geniuses have the human race accumulated over the generations?"

As long as the mermaids are strong enough to capture Longzhou, it would be a great achievement; going further would be impossible.

"So the mermaids have no hope, and the King of the East Sea will definitely betray the mermaids."

"Unless the ten great demon kings and one hundred great demon generals of the demon race are mobilized collectively, there will be a slight possibility."

"But they are all thousand-year-old foxes. They won't release their eagles until they see the rabbit. If they don't see hope, they won't place any bets at all."

Haiyuan groaned:
"So sir, you mean no fight?"

Nangong Hen sneered:

"If we don't fight, how can we have hope?"

"Isn't this old man also working hard to restore the country?"

"I want to tell you that the mermaids are too weak. We need to lower our bottom line."

As the saying goes, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.

Although Nangong Hen's fighting spirit was extremely rare, his way of solving problems was as bad as ever.

That is to let the mermaid leader lower the bottom line of his fight against humans.

Haiyuan agreed to this approach and called out to the high priest Yehui:

"and many more."

At this time, Yehui was sitting on the seahorse, and he quickly asked:

"What do you want, Chief?"

Haiyuan raised his head and gazed into the distance. Because the mermaids came too quickly, there were still some humans who had not evacuated completely in the farther places.

"Keep pouring seawater inland!"

"I think there are still some people from the human race who haven't escaped completely in the distance."

"Send people to hunt down and kill them along the way. As long as they are human, don't let any of them go."

"Catch them all. If we can't catch them, we'll execute them!"

High Priest Ye Hui asked in confusion:

"Captain, those are just humans fleeing. They are not a threat. Is it necessary to waste troops?"

Moreover, these fishermen themselves have more or less mermaid blood, and they even tried to get the fishermen to join the mermaid camp some time ago.

Haiyuan said in a deep voice:
"The human race just tried to provoke me."

"We will do the same and irritate the human race."

"Remember, try to capture as many humans as possible and perform a blood sacrifice!"

"See who reveals a flaw first and then bite the opponent to death."

The high priest answered without hesitation:

"Yes, leader."

When the two races reached this point, they could only complete the historical process at the bloodiest price.

Marquis Zhenhai observed the mermaids pouring in from the gap on the city wall. They did not rush towards Zhenhai City like the vanguard, but headed inland.

The Marquis of Zhenhai couldn't help but ask:
"The mermaids have divided their forces. What do they want to do?"

"Could it be that they want to attack Dinghai City? How is that possible?"

Jingping Hou took a look and his expression changed slightly:

"They wanted to attack the civilians who were still evacuating."

"But what's the use?"

The mermaids are still in the tribal era, and class differentiation is not too obvious. Especially under the pressure of humans, they must treat every compatriot seriously.

But it is different for humans. Ordinary people and nobles are almost reproductively isolated and have become two species.

For a moment, Marquis Jingping felt a little puzzled.

Did the mermaid think that Zhenhai City would rescue these people?
"Oh no, it's a blood sacrifice!"

After all, Marquis Zhenhai had more dealings with mermaids, and he instantly figured out the other party's methods.

"The mermaids have a magic spell that allows them to pray to the Demon King. Humans are their best material."

"They want to capture humans and use them as cannon fodder before attacking the city!"

Both sides were furious.

……

Chu Wujiang also saw this scene. Fairy Feng Yao's teeth creaked and she couldn't help but ask:
"Husband!"

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"It's okay. I have sent Taoist masters to rescue us. They are coming soon."

"Now it depends on who has enough reserves."

As soon as Chu Wujiang finished speaking, an iron bird flew over from afar. A Taoist priest sat on the iron bird. The leading Taoist priest had a sad face:
"Oh, this is really going to be troublesome."

"Longcheng Hou is really something. Why does he always use the Dragon and Tiger Order in this place?"

The iron bird flew at a low altitude, and the Taoist used his vital energy to form a shield, which he slammed into the mermaid who was the first to hunt down the human race.

People who were still in the rain bowed down to the iron bird.

"Don't worship, hurry up and escape with me."

The mermaids came riding on sea beasts.
