Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King

Chapter 169 International Trends and Personal Honor and Disgrace



"There are dozens more of them than us. If we really fight, we won't be able to take advantage. What should we do next?" someone asked hurriedly.

Zhu Feng touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

There are generally two directions to choose from. One is forward and the other is backward.

Going forward means continuing the previous arrangement, searching for treasures to obtain loot; going backward means avoiding the battle, and directly giving up the treasures in front of him in order to avoid conflict with He Chengfeng's people.

Giving up will undoubtedly make people feel unwilling.

The other side has bullied the other side to the extreme. We are all bloody warriors. There is no reason to swallow our anger, compromise, and give away the benefits to the other side, while we retreat like a lost dog.

Just by looking at everyone's expressions, Su An knew that the team would not choose to move backward.

Then choose to move forward.

Going forward is likely to lead to war.

"Can we have an honest talk with He Chengfeng without starting a war?" someone asked.

This question was asked, but before anyone could answer it, the man himself shook his head.

Zhu Feng said with sharp eyes: "If He Chengfeng is a decent person, then of course we can talk, because everyone has the bottom line of principles and can abide by the rules.

"But what's the point of talking to bad guys? That's trying to get skin from a tiger.

"Even if the other party agrees in advance, there is a high chance that they will regret it later. The so-called openness and honesty is just to prepare the other party in advance."

The soldiers nodded one after another, basically agreeing with this statement.

Su An was surprised again. These people were so strong-minded and iron-blooded. Even when faced with unfavorable circumstances, they had no illusions and no luck.

This is not something ordinary teams can do.

Since I want to fight, the question immediately becomes another: Can I fight?

Then there is the question of how to fight.

There was not much time, and everyone started discussing quickly.

Under the auspices of Zhu Feng, captains of all sizes spoke in turn from left to right. The content was very brief, no one spoke at length, and no one interrupted others.

After several captains had expressed their opinions, Zhu Feng made a brief summary, put forward some resolutions and raised some questions, and started the next round of discussion to build on the past and the future.

In this case, when the three rounds of speeches are completed and the plan is established, the total time spent is only ten minutes.

This kind of efficiency made Su An dumbfounded.

There is no doubt that this is a distinctly military style.

But even in discussions in the military, it is rarely done so vigorously and resolutely.

"If anyone tells me again that this is a temporary, miscellaneous team, I will be the first to complain to him!" Zheng Nanzhi looked at the side with the same dumbfounded look.

Combined with the experience of fighting giant beasts, she felt that she had somehow fallen into a group of gods.

......

"Be prepared. If something goes wrong, once I send the signal, all ministries will take action in advance to catch them off guard!"

After saying this, He Chengfeng waved his hand, indicating that the team would join Zhu Feng's men and enter the cave together on the hill.

He himself smiled and greeted Zhu Feng. The two of them stood on the giant branch together, overlooking the entire scene and taking control of the overall situation.

Because they didn’t have to search by themselves, and the team would not easily have problems, the two chatted when they had nothing to do. In order to distract Zhu Feng’s attention, He Chengfeng took the lead in starting the conversation:

"Where is Captain Zhu from?"

I am your father, can you not use such an old-fashioned opening statement... Zhu Feng cursed, with a warm smile on his face: "I am from Zhongshan."

"Oh?" He Chengfeng smiled, "Zhongshan Country is sandwiched between several big countries, and its living environment has never been very good. I heard that the border has not been very peaceful in recent years. I wonder what Captain Zhu thinks of this international situation?"

Zhu Feng chuckled: "Our situation is very good."

The situation of Zhongshan State is indeed not good. It is surrounded by Yan State in the northeast, Qi State in the southeast, Zhao State in the northwest and Wei State in the southwest.

Yan, Qi, Zhao, and Wei are all among the seven most powerful countries in the world!

If it weren't for the fact that there were several small and medium-sized countries around Zhongshan Kingdom, just based on this geographical location, it would have ended up being eaten to the core.

However, although there are still several neighboring countries around Zhongshan State, most of these neighboring countries have voted for Yan, Qi, Zhao and Wei, and they have followed each other's lead in everything, and in fact they have become each other's vassal states.

Although the Zhongshan Kingdom is not as good as the seven powerful countries, it has considerable national power, but is just a little weaker than them.

If you really want to be someone else's younger brother, first of all, Zhongshan itself won't be happy, and secondly, other countries won't allow it. After all, the top four are on your side, and no matter who you vote for, the other three will not just sit idly by.

Yan, Qi, Zhao and Wei all wanted to annex Zhongshan State, and at the same time they also prevented other countries from annexing Zhongshan State. As a result, Zhongshan State became a victim of the geopolitical game between the great powers, and domestic unrest and contradictions arose.

In comparison, among the top four, Yan State is slightly weaker and has the least oppression on Zhongshan State, so the relationship between the two parties is a little better.

Because of this, they were able to form a temporary alliance this time.

Looking at the entire world, the demon clan is now weak. The main forces are divided into four parts: southeast, northwest, and northwest. They are located in remote and poor places with limited resources, limited strength, and internal contradictions. They have not joined forces to attack the human kingdom for a long time. Get angry.

Therefore, human beings are powerful.

The area where the Northern Monster Clan is located has very little fertile soil, and most of the territory has been frozen for thousands of years. It is really not a good place to thrive, and its strength has been declining day by day in the past 2000 years.

The Yan Kingdom lived adjacent to them, and most of the time they had to fight against the entire northern demon clan with one country, so the pressure was greater.

If several powerful countries really unite, the demon clan in the north will not be able to be arrogant.

This is also the reason why, after thousands of years, the demon clan in the north is trying so hard to open the ruins. They really need to use the heritage of the ancient demon clan in the ruins to improve their strength.

The situation of the monster clan in the southern border of Xia and Shang Continent is similar to that of the monster clan in the northern border. They also live in the dangerous and barren mountains.

Not to mention converging national strength for the Northern Expedition, it would be a good thing if we could not endure hardship year after year.

The situation of the demon tribe in the West is slightly better, but the distance between the West and Zhongzhou is too far, and there are natural dangers such as the desert and the snowy mountains in between. It is even more difficult for them to fight back.

The Eastern Territory Monster Clan lives on the island, with the smallest number of people, and there is an almost impassable area like the Whirlpool Sea as a natural barrier. No matter whether the people on the mainland want to fight through, or the Monster Clan on the island wants to fight back, that's all. Idiots talk like dreams.

Unless the human kingdom is willing to cooperate and form an alliance fleet, or the island demon clan joins forces with the northern and southern demon clans, no one will easily go deep into the Whirlpool Sea.

In short, the seven major kingdoms have little interest in the remote place where the demon clan currently lives.

Zhongzhou is rich and rich in resources. Therefore, what the seven major countries are now pursuing is to seize more territory in Zhongzhou and enhance their national strength.

In the past few hundred years, they have stepped up their efforts to annex the surrounding small and medium-sized countries. There have been frequent wars and wars on the mainland.

Whether it is the Yan Kingdom or the Zhongshan Kingdom, they are located in the northern part of the mainland. With the sharp sword of the Northern Monster Clan hanging above their heads, it is already quite difficult to deal with them. If they want to intervene in the mainland situation, they often have more than enough intentions but not enough power.

As time goes by, everyone's national strength waxes and wanes, and the endings we are waiting for for Yan and Zhongshan will definitely be far from happy.

The topic that He Chengfeng started at this time was of course too much to finish in a few words, and could easily lead to a long discussion. He just deliberately wanted to distract Zhu Feng's attention.

Zhu Feng was very cooperative. Although he didn't say much about the situation in Zhongshan Kingdom, he kicked the ball back to He Chengfeng:

"No matter how complicated the international situation Zhongshan is facing, there will eventually be an opportunity to intervene in the mainland situation. Maybe when we encounter the right opportunity, we will be able to soar and open up new horizons.

"On the other hand, the Bohai Kingdom is isolated in the northeast. It has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. The door opens directly to the sea. Whirlpools and storms block the shipping routes, and there is no chance to trade with overseas countries. To the west is the Changling Mountains and the northern monster clan. If you want to go south, you are blocked. Yan Guo blocked the passage.

"With all due respect, Bohai Country is destined to be an orphan.

"No matter what the international situation is, Bohai Country has no chance to truly develop and grow. It will have to face the dilemma of stunted growth forever and ever, and it will waste time and sink step by step."

These words immediately silenced He Chengfeng.

The location of the Bohai Kingdom is indeed deficient. If you want to stay in a corner, you must always be on guard against monster attacks. If you want to develop, there is a big mountain like the Yan Kingdom at the door.

So, this time we must make a difference in the ruins! He Chengfeng responded silently.

The demon clan in the north wants to use the many treasures in the ruins to increase their strength and restore their ancient glory. Doesn't the Bohai Kingdom want to rely on these things to break the deadlock, so that it can have the opportunity to march south and defeat the Yan Kingdom and enter Zhongzhou?

The future is in Zhongzhou, and it is also in this ruins.

But the Bohai Kingdom is weak, not to mention compared to the Yan Kingdom, even the Zhongshan Kingdom is inferior. This time the extraordinary people of the Three Kingdoms went deep into the secret realm to seize the treasure. If the extraordinary people of the Bohai Kingdom don't have any means and don't think about it, they will definitely lose their wives. Discard soldiers.

Before leaving, the superiors gave He Chengfeng a very clear explanation:

Entering the Changling Mountains this time, the Bohai Kingdom has tried its best, but its own family is weak and will never allow them to lose too many soldiers. When you get to the ruins, you must not only seize the treasures, but also preserve your strength!

He Chengfeng knew very well that if there were too many casualties during this trip, it would be difficult to make up for it in the future.

When Zhu Feng and others fought against the giant beast, He Chengfeng actually heard the news early, but he did not intervene rashly, but waited for the opportunity to reap the benefits.

In his imagination, even if Zhu Feng and others died, he would be able to collect various weapons and supplies from the opponent afterwards.

Although these things are not as good as the relic treasures, they are still a valuable harvest when placed outside.

What He Chengfeng didn't expect was that Zhu Feng and others actually won against more than 300 giant beasts.

From that moment on, he judged that this team was extraordinary and would definitely gain something in the ruins. So he sought cooperation with Zhu Feng and wanted to join forces.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng actually rejected his proposal.

He Chengfeng was very unhappy, but he didn't show it. He just sent a level [-] expert in the team who was good at tracking and hiding to secretly follow Zhu Feng and others.

Exploring ruins is full of risks. Be it monster monks or gaps in time and space, including the turbulence of the Force, they are all existences that can kill people.

Instead of taking risks and crossing the river by feeling the stones, it is better to follow Zhu Feng and others and let Zhu Feng's team clear the way for them.

In this way, the risk belongs to Zhu Feng and others. Once the other party discovers the treasure, they can intervene in time and share the other party's profits equally by relying on their own strength and numbers.

And if there are enough treasures, a big enough harvest, and they can eat enough at once, then they can stab them in the back while they are not prepared, kill people, seize the treasures, and escape!

You can leave the ruins directly afterwards and no longer continue to take risks in the ruins.

For the Bohai Kingdom, the more treasures, the better. It is related to the country's major plans. But as far as He Chengfeng is concerned, the treasures are enough. National affairs are not something he can control, and they cannot bring him immediate benefits. So it has nothing to do with him.

As long as the harvest reaches a certain standard, He Chengfeng will naturally be promoted based on his merits and get a bright future after he returns.

And if there are too many treasures, they are not all his own. They have to be handed over, but if you stay in the ruins for a moment longer, you will be exposed to more risks. It is really not worth the gain.

It is proper to accept it as soon as it is good and take the treasure back in time to establish the merit.

perfect.

Everything is perfect.

Because of this perfection, He Chengfeng didn't mind the offense in Zhu Feng's words. What he was concerned about now was how much his team could gain from the mountain cave and whether there was a chance to eat these treasures in one bite.

He watched the hills closely and didn't look much at Zhu Feng.

So, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Zhu Feng took action!
