For a moment, Li Chengfeng couldn't tell if the Puppet Country was bluffing or if they had nothing to fear.
But after careful thought, he said, "General, although I can't tell what the Puppet Country's trump card is, there's one thing I can deduce from just thinking about it."
Long Tenghai asked curiously, "Oh?
Tell me about it. "
Li Chengfeng said, "The Flying Warship is one of the most important weapons in the country. Even if we ignore the materials used to build it, its ability to turn the tide of a battle is obvious. If the Puppet Country had two of these, do you think the situation would be like this?"
Long Tenghai nodded slightly. "Indeed, if there were two Flying Warships, our troops would not be able to advance here."
Gao Shenghan said, "But it's also possible that they just made the second Flying Warship?"
Li Chengfeng was stunned, thinking, 'That's right!
That makes sense! '
It was true that the Puppet Country only had one Flying Battleship previously, but now, they were about to complete another one?
It was possible that the Puppet Country had built one every ten years, so it was possible that they had just finished one now.
If that was the case, and the Flying Warship suddenly descended from the sky when the war was at its most intense, they would be in big trouble!
But Li Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "However, if the Puppet Country really happened to make another Flying Warship at this critical juncture, they shouldn't be so arrogant during the peace talks. At the very least, they should appear low-key and firm. On the surface, they would compromise to make us more numb, wouldn't they?"
Gao Shenghan said, "That's right, that makes sense.
It's precisely because we can't tell if the two are right or wrong that we came to you, Zhenren Li. I hope you can let bygones be bygones this time and lend us a helping hand! "
Long Tenghai bowed deeply to Li Chengfeng and said, "Zhenren Li is the only Great Zhenren who fought head-on and went deep into the Flying Warship to destroy it. If the war starts and the other party really has a Flying Warship, please shoot it down!
Otherwise, these hundreds of thousands of Great Qi's people will be buried in this Southern Sun Plain! "
Zhao Feiyue snorted but did not continue speaking. Gao Shenghan also stepped forward and bowed deeply to Li Chengfeng, then to Zhao Feiyue. "I hope that Zhenren Li and Princess will lend a helping hand for the sake of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the people of this world!"
At this time, the other generals in the tent, whether they were willing or not, all knelt on one knee in unison, cupped their hands, and begged, "Please help us, Zhenren Li!"
Although Li Chengfeng was Long Tenghai's subordinate in name, he had a special relationship with the Crown Prince. He was also the future Emperor's son-in-law and the Spiritual Mountain Sect's Hidden Sword Court's Pavilion Master. His limelight surpassed every other young cultivator in the world. Even an idiot knew that his future was limitless.
Long Tenghai ordered him to carry out a suicide mission. Li Chengfeng agreed on the surface, but if he ran away in the face of danger, what would happen to Long Tenghai and the rest?
Wouldn't he be tricked to death?
Therefore, people like Li Chengfeng had already transcended the relationship between a superior and a subordinate. If he really talked about his superiors and subordinates, it would be a disaster!
In the entire military camp, Long Tenghai, Gao Shenghan and the rest of the other cultivators carefully fawned over the leaders of the various sects. If they offended them and they dropped the ball at a critical moment, it would not be as simple as one or two people dying!
Li Chengfeng had always been someone who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. He could not help but let out a long sigh and hurriedly helped Long Tenghai and Gao Shenghan up. "General, Advisor, please get up!
Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Now that we are in such a critical situation, if I can be of use, I will not shirk my responsibilities! "
Long Tenghai was overjoyed. "Zhenren Li cares about the world and does not care about gains or losses. You are a true hero!"
Gao Shenghan also bowed to Li Chengfeng and sighed. "If all the cultivators in the world were like Zhenren Li, the world would be at peace a long time ago!"
The other generals stood up as well. Whether it was true or not, they all showered him with flattery. Even an old fox like Li Chengfeng could not tell which way was north.
When they left the tent, a gust of wind blew. Li Chengfeng shuddered and slapped his forehead, smiling bitterly. "I was careless, I was tricked!"
Zhao Feiyue sighed. "Palace Lord, you were so reckless. Why didn't you look me in the eye?"
Li Chengfeng sighed. "Truth be told, I do intend to go to war. Even if I don't join the battle directly, I do want to observe the situation."
Zhao Feiyue said sternly, "War is not a joke, it's completely different from fights!
Any cannonball or Exorcism Crossbow on the battlefield could take Palace Master's life! "
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "I was indeed a little rash, but … what if the flying warship really appears?"
Zhao Feiyue was silent for a while. "Then I will accompany you to destroy the flying warship again!"
Li Chengfeng nodded. "With this experience, I will be prepared to deal with the flying warship again.
But … do you really think the Puppet Country still has a trump card and is not bluffing? "
Zhao Feiyue nodded without hesitation. "Vivian's arrogance is like nothing I've ever seen in my life!
It's as if they're already at the Divine Capital! "
Li Chengfeng shook his head in confusion. "Is there really another flying warship?
Or is there some secret technology that they haven't shown us? "
"Secret technology?" Zhao Feiyue looked at Li Chengfeng in confusion.
Li Chengfeng waved. "It's not important, it's not important!
What's important now is whether we can guess what the Puppet Country's trump card is. Once we can guess it, we'll definitely win this war! "
Zhao Feiyue shook her head and said: "Our Da Qi is full of talented people, but the Puppet Country is not mediocre. Marshal Wei Weian is the same as Nu Nu, they are both from the royal family and have the status of a princess. However, her talent on the battlefield is extremely high, far above Nu Nu. Even the strategist Gao Shenghan, who has meticulous plans, admires her.
Let's not waste our time guessing, we definitely won't be able to guess it. "
Li Chengfeng sighed. "Alright then, we'll follow the army later. We'll just have to deal with whatever comes our way."
The two of them chatted for a while longer, reminiscing about old times, before leaving together.
However, when they left the camp, Li Chengfeng could not help but turn back to look, the doubt lingering in his heart. What was the Puppet Country's trump card?
Did they really have a secret war machine like the flying warship?
Logically and rationally, Li Chengfeng did not really believe it. This was because the Flying Warship had not just entered the war in recent years. This kind of divine weapon of war had been around for more than ten years. If there really was a second one, then the Dragon Soaring Sea would have collapsed long ago!
If there wasn't a second one, it meant that the Puppet Country could only afford one such war machine!
Even if there was another one, the Puppet Country would not treat it this way!
If they could take down one, they could take down a second!
How could a defeated general be brave?
If Vivian was really as wise as Zhao Feiyue said, how could she not know this truth?
Similarly, Vivian was definitely not bluffing. This was because at this juncture, if she were to bluff, the Da Qi Kingdom would fight. If she didn't bluff, the Da Qi Kingdom would still fight. Therefore, her current attitude was completely meaningless!
If she was a famous general, why would she do something so meaningless?
There must be a demon behind this anomaly!
Something must be wrong!
