The updates on pastries were getting crazier.
But the monthly votes were dwindling!
How could the bosses bear to do this?
…
Even though the Earthsplitting City was not far away, Yang Dingtian and the other two still chose to fly past it without stopping.
"Sect Leader, do you want me to announce that the Earthsplitting City has joined the Council of Light in the name of my father?" Kui Ning asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "No need. The betrayal of the Cloud Sky Pavilion has caused the Earthsplitting City to be in danger.
Now that it has joined the Council of Light, it will not be of any use to the Earthsplitting City. Instead, it will force Zhu Qingzhu to attack and bring more danger to the Earthsplitting City. "
Then, the three of them looked at the Northern Continent of Yingzhou and sighed. They continued to fly towards the Cloud Sky City.
Suddenly, a black shadow drilled out from the seawater below.
It was a Demon Eagle Knight. She blocked Yang Dingtian and the others' path.
Her entire body was covered in purple armor, indicating her identity.
She was the Grand Commander of the Earthsplitting City, Kui Qing.
Yang Dingtian took off her helmet. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by her cold, mature, and aggressive face.
"City Lord Yang Dingtian, are you going to abandon my Earth Splitting City after having sex with me?
Why did you make a trip here and leave directly without even entering the door? "Kui Qing said.
This woman's words were as aggressive as her beauty.
"I wouldn't dare. It's just that there are no benefits to dragging the Earthsplitting City into this.
Why don't we let Zhu Qingzhu forget about the Earthsplitting City for now? It'll be safer. "Yang Dingtian said.
"That woman, Yun Cailin, rejected you?" Kui Qing asked.
"Yes." Yang Dingtian said.
"Hmph …" Kui Qing said, "A woman in charge is indeed disappointing.
If she had the courage, the Earthsplitting City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion would have attacked and defended one another. Why would she and Kui Si have to go in and out together?
The Earthsplitting City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion are enemies and hate each other. "
When Kui Qing said this, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also a woman.
"Alright, since City Lord Yang is here, why don't you come to my Earth Splitting City for a visit?" Kui Qing said.
"If I go, Zhu Qingzhu will remember you guys. That's not a good thing," Yang Dingtian said.
"He's already thinking about it."
Kui Qing said, "Yesterday, Zhu Qingzhu's envoy came to propose marriage for his son, Zhu Hongyu."
"Marry who?" Kui Ning finally couldn't help but ask.
"Marry me," Kui Qing said.
Kui Ning was stunned.
Kui Qing was ten years older than Zhu Hongyu, and in Kui Ning's heart, this aunt of hers was a tigress, a tigress as cold as ice.
"Then did you refuse?" Kui Ning was concerned about this.
"I didn't say no."
Kui Qing said, "In order to prevent the Elders Council from letting their imaginations run wild, in order to completely put an end to their path of surrender, I directly slaughtered that envoy and then sent the head back.
Therefore, City Lord Yang Dingtian, you were worried that Zhu Qingzhu would set his sights on us. Now, he has already set his sights on us.
That emissary is actually an illegitimate son of Zhu Qingzhu. "
Ah!
Then, the three of them were collectively stunned!
This Kui Qing was really decisive in killing. The envoy sent by Zhu Qingzhu was killed just like that.
Completely forcing the entire Earthshatter City, without any room for compromise.
"Of course, I didn't know that he was Zhu Qingzhu's illegitimate son at first. I originally only planned to teach him a lesson, but in the end, his gaze was too wretched, and I couldn't help but want to kill him. He was afraid of death, so he revealed his identity as an illegitimate son.
However, I had no choice but to release the arrow on the bow, so I still chopped off his head. "Kui Qing said," However, chopping off his head also received a miraculous effect.
A bunch of elders who originally planned to surrender no longer have any hope now, and are currently trembling at home, hugging each other for warmth. "
"Therefore, Lord Yang Dingtian, make a trip to Earthshatter City, and help us get some warmth," Kui Qing said.
"Yes!" Yang Dingtian said.
Then, the three of them flew together with Kui Qing towards Earthshatter City.
…
The last time, Yang Dingtian came to Earthshatter City, he received an absolute cold reception. No one paid attention to him at all.
But this time, Yang Dingtian received unprecedented respect.
The entire Earthshatter City seemed to have turned out in full force.
First, the entire Demon Vulture Army was pulled out from the sky, and lined up in formation, escorting Yang Dingtian into Earthshatter City.
After entering Earthshatter City, countless people waved their colorful flags and cheered in joy.
When they arrived at the Earthshatter City Lord's castle, all the members of the Elder Assembly came out to welcome them. This group of seventy to eighty years old elders couldn't wait to kneel down and greet them.
It was obvious that they were really frightened.
They were afraid that one day, Zhu Qingzhu's army of a million would sweep over them.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian, who had defeated the army of Evil ways, directly became their life-saving straw.
In the square in front of Earthshatter City's castle, Yang Dingtian gave a short speech, and the main content of the speech were as follows.
First, he praised Earthshatter City's bright and righteous stance.
Second, the Council of Light would protect Earthshatter City, and the level of protection would be the same as Cloud Sky City's.
Third, the Council of Light would completely eliminate all the evil forces in Zhong Zhou, and bring peace to Zhong Zhou.
After Yang Dingtian finished speaking, what greeted him was a tsunami of cheers.
Basically, all the people of Earthshatter City only heard one sentence: the level of protection of Earthshatter City by the Council of Light was exactly the same as Cloud Sky City's.
In other words, not only did the Council of Light not abandon Earthshatter City, but they would also use all their strength to protect it!
…
Then, in the castle's main hall, Yang Dingtian and the Elder Assembly of Earthshatter City had a detailed discussion.
The Elder Assembly of Earthshatter City was not as easy to fool as the people. He directly asked how many troops Sect Leader Yang Dingtian intended to send to protect Earthshatter City.
Then, the Elder Assembly vaguely suggested that 1,000 Demon Vulture Army should be transferred back to Earthshatter City.
Yang Dingtian couldn't directly reject them, but of course, he couldn't agree with them either.
"First, the Northwest Continent is 6,000 miles away from Earthshatter City."
Yang Dingtian said, "For ordinary troops, the West Continent and Earthshatter City will be two battlefields.
But for the Demon Vulture Army, 6,000 miles is just half a day.
Therefore, the Northwest Continent and Earthshatter City can be regarded as one battlefield. "
"Therefore, all of the Demon Vulture Army will protect Earthshatter City and the entire West Continent."
Yang Dingtian said, "And from today onwards, it is necessary to establish a smooth air route between the Northwest Continent and Earthshatter City to transmit information and materials at all times.
At all times, there must be Demon Vulture Army shuttling between Earthshatter City and the West Continent. "
When these words were spoken, the Elder Assembly of Earthshatter City was instantly relieved.
This feeling was very subtle. Earthshatter City was all alone now, and they felt very insecure.
But when Yang Dingtian proposed to establish an air route to connect the entire West Continent to Earthshatter City, they felt that they were no longer alone.
Yang Dingtian continued, "Also, I will establish a wartime committee.
I hope that the Elders of Earthshatter City will send people to the Northwest Continent to enter the committee's headquarters and participate in the decision-making of the entire war.
And the Council of Light will continuously send people to Earthshatter City to participate in the defense of Earthshatter City. "
When these words were spoken, the Elder Assembly of Earthshatter City felt more relieved.
Of course, their emotions were incomparably complicated.
Previously, their mentality of surrendering was even heavier than that of the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
They couldn't wait to directly surrender to Zhu Qingzhu and then throw all the flames of war to Yang Dingtian and the West Continent.
They even took drastic measures and transferred the Demon Vulture Army back.
But Great Aunt Kui Qing's sword cut off all their hopes of surrendering.
She had chopped off the head of Zhu Qingzhu's illegitimate son. The door to surrendering was directly closed.
Now, Earthshatter City depended on Yang Dingtian to save their lives.
Finally, Yang Dingtian said, "As for how many troops Earthshatter City needs, there is no limit.
I can only say that if the war happens in Earthshatter City, there is no limit.
Then, there will be as many as you need.
One hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, one million?
There is no limit! "
Instantly, the Elder Assembly of Earthshatter City stood up excitedly and bowed to Yang Dingtian. "Thank you, City Lord Yang Dingtian, for your great kindness!"
Yang Dingtian continued, "Not only that, when I return to Cloud Sky City this time, I will immediately transfer five thousand cannons to set up Earthshatter City's defense line."
Instantly, the Elder Assembly was in an uproar.
Even Kui Ning looked at Yang Dingtian with an inconceivable gaze.
As for Kui Qing, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
The rumors about the cannons had already spread all over the world.
Yang Dingtian's secret weapon had instantly subverted the entire world's concept.
In the battle of Cloud Sky City, he had used two thousand cannons to wipe out Qin Qiqi's army of hundreds of thousands.
In the hearts of countless people, this was Yang Dingtian's fatal weapon.
Regarding his power, it had also been spread by word of mouth, who knew how many times it had been magnified.
Earthshatter City did not even dare to mention the cannons because they felt that this was Yang Dingtian's secret weapon and it was impossible for him to give it away.
Who knew that Yang Dingtian would be so generous and directly give them five thousand cannons.
"These five thousand cannons will be set up at all the places where Earthshatter City can land. It will be enough to prevent any army from landing."
Yang Dingtian said, "Earthshatter City's coastline is not like the western part of the world. It can only be landed for a few hundred miles.
Five thousand cannons will be enough to cover it. "
In the end, Yang Dingtian waved his fist and said, "Five thousand cannons and two thousand Demon Eagle Army will be enough to prevent any army from landing. Earthshatter City will be completely safe!"
Instantly, the Elders of Earthshatter City felt their blood boil.
Yang Dingtian said, "Because of the Cloud Sky Pavilion's betrayal, Earthshatter City has to be very careful of attacks from the Cloud Sky Pavilion."
The Great Elder of Earthshatter City said, "You don't have to worry about that. The mountain range there is too high, at least a few thousand feet.
Their Winged Cavalry Army can't fly over such a high mountain. "
Yang Dingtian said, "What if they attack from the ground?
I've seen their Demon Lion Army. It's incomparably steep, but it's like walking on flat ground.
Earthshatter City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion are completely connected, and the mountain range between them is at least a thousand miles. It's impossible to guard against it.
Once a few thousand Demon Masters enter Earthshatter City, even if it's an underground city, it'll be like walking on flat ground. "
Once this was said, everyone's expression changed.
Yang Dingtian said, "You don't have to worry. I already have close to eight thousand strong Demon Dragon Army in my hands.
I can send a Demon Dragon Army equipped with the sharpest small-sized crystal crossbows to defend the mountain range between Earthshatter City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
It'll definitely be able to wipe out all the enemies from the Cloud Sky Pavilion. "
Instantly, the Elders of Earthshatter City burst into tears. They were extremely emotional.
Immediately, the Grand Elder held onto Yang Dingtian's hand with tears streaming down his face. He sobbed and said, "I have never seen or heard of such a righteous and magnanimous person like Sect Master Yang!"
Thinking back to the time when Yang Dingtian came to Earthshatter City to ask for help, the Elders of Earthshatter City were so cold. The Elders of Earthshatter City felt even more guilty!
After the meeting with the Elders of Earthshatter City ended, Kui Qing looked at Yang Dingtian and bowed, "Sect Leader Yang, Kui Qing has some matters that she would like to discuss in private. I wonder if it's convenient?"
However, without waiting for Yang Dingtian's reply, she walked into her own room.
It didn't seem right for a man and a woman to be alone together, but Yang Dingtian had no room to refuse.
… …
"Yang Dingtian, you're crazy …" Kui Qing said, "I know that you're determined to protect Earthshatter City, but you don't need so much!
You're a commander, you have to consider the bigger picture. You know that Earthshatter City won't be the main battlefield.
In fact, Earthshatter City might not even be the main battlefield! "
"I have to make these people feel at ease."
Yang Dingtian said, "Otherwise, if some of them decide to surrender, it'll be troublesome."
"Then, then you don't have to send so many resources to Earthshatter City." Kui Qing said, "You have to know that the main battlefield will be in the western world."
"I'm doing this to prevent Earthshatter City from becoming the main battlefield. I want Zhu Qingzhu to give up on attacking Earthshatter City." Yang Dingtian said.
"Five thousand cannons, are you crazy?" Kui Qing said.
"Most of these cannons are fake. They're just models."
Yang Dingtian said, "They're just for Zhu Qingzhu to see. When Zhu Qingzhu sees so many cannons in the narrow straits of Earthshatter City, he'll give up on attacking Earthshatter City.
This way, I can focus on preparing for the next battlefield. "
"Ah …" Kui Qing said, "Fake?
Won't Zhu Qingzhu find out? "
Yang Dingtian said, "Real cannons require extremely expensive and rare Black Gold Cold Iron. They also need to be calcined with Xuan Flame.
That's why the cannons can shoot very far.
The five thousand cannons that I've prepared for you are made of ordinary steel.
After firing a few dozen cannons, they'll be useless. Moreover, the range isn't very far, so the accuracy won't be good. "
Yang Dingtian continued, "However, after the cannons arrive, a military drill will be carried out.
A few hundred wooden warships will be produced to demonstrate the landing battle. Then, a few thousand cannons will be fired and the warships will be completely destroyed. They'll be buried at the bottom of the sea.
This way, no one will think that it's fake. "
Kui Qing's beautiful eyes stared intently at Yang Dingtian. After a long time, she said, "Sect Master Yang, your honorable and noble image in my heart has been destroyed!"
Yang Dingtian was instantly speechless!
…
Yang Dingtian and the other two didn't stay in Earthshatter City for long. After a few hours, they left.
At this time, Kui Si's wife and Kui Qing were talking.
"Little Qing, what do you think of this Sect Master Yang?" Madam Kui asked.
"What do you mean?" Kui Qing said.
Madam Kui said, "We women are women after all. We need to find someone to rely on.
You don't like this man, and you don't like that either.
You're already in your thirties, but you're still alone. It's not a good thing. "
Kui Qing said, "Heavens?
Don't tell me you want me to be Yang Dingtian's concubine? I'm older than him by more than ten years. "
Madam Kui said, "As long as the man dotes on you, it's okay to be a concubine.
If no one dotes on you, so what if you're the official wife?
How I'm doing, don't you know? "
"That's because my brother is stupid. Yun Cailin that woman is weak and pretentious.
A few years ago, she still looked pretty pretty. Now, she's old and dry. She's far inferior compared to Sister-in-law, "Kui Qing said.
"Sigh …" Madam Kui said gently, "Little Qing, regarding your brother, what did Sect Master Yang say?"
"He didn't say anything," Kui Qing said.
"He's been missing until now. No one knows if he's alive or dead. What should we do?" Madam Kui's tears fell as she said, "Although he's a bastard, but … but he's also my husband.
You, why didn't you mention to Sect Master Yang … "
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to mention it," Kui Qing said, "This matter is very big. Sect Master Yang already has a plan in his heart. There's no need for us to mention it."
"Really?" Madam Kui said.
"Really!" Kui Qing said.
Madam Kui wiped away her tears and said gently, "Little Qing, what I said earlier, you still have to consider it. A woman can't live her entire life by herself."
"You're here again. I'm leaving!" Kui Qing said.
Kui Qing turned and walked out.
Madam Kui chased after her and said gently, "If there's really no other way, you, you can find a chance to secretly meet with him once or twice.
Even if you don't find a man to live with, you can have a child with him. It's fine if it's a son or a daughter. In the future, when you're old, you'll have someone to rely on. You don't have to be alone. "
Kui Qing looked at her conservative and gentle sister-in-law in disbelief.
Such an impudent and bold idea. Her gentle and virtuous sister-in-law, how could she say it?
Madam Kui blushed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?
Didn't you force me to the point that I have no other choice?
I can't watch you live alone for the rest of your life! "
Kui Qing's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of a certain possibility, her face instantly turned red!
*****
A few hours later, Yang Dingtian flew back to the Northwest Continent and landed in Iron Furnace City!
At this time, the entire Iron Furnace City had become a military stronghold.
As the easternmost city of the western world, as the closest city to the Central Continent, in the upcoming war, Iron Furnace City was very likely to be the first line of defense.
In a short five days!
There were already more than three hundred thousand soldiers stationed in Iron Furnace City.
Countless citizens were building a defensive line along the coastline!
Even the Devil Dragon Army and the Devil Eagle Army had fully entered Iron Furnace City!
The Iron Furnace City's City Lord Residence had been completely vacated.
Tang Bozhao, Song Lihua, and Mu Liancheng's professional troops had fully entered and taken over all the affairs of Yan City.
Furthermore, until now, the entire Yan City's citizens weren't very enthusiastic about building a defensive line. A portion of them even had a serious intention of surrendering.
Therefore, Tang Bozhao might as well withdraw all the Yan City's citizens to the rear.
And these citizens couldn't wait to leave Yan City, where a war was about to erupt.
The most loyal and fanatical citizens of Cloud Heaven City were all riding on the Devil Eagle Army and the Devil Dragon Army to head south to Iron Furnace City and frantically build a defensive line.
When Qiu Wanjie of the Divine Weapons Manor saw this scene, he instantly felt ashamed.
…
Inside the Yan City's City Lord Residence, everyone had a grave expression.
"City Lord, after Zhu Qingzhu left the Northwest Continent, he flew back to the Central Region at full speed and ordered the world to convene the Tiandō League Conference. This time, it will be held in the Central Region."
Qin Wanchou said, "The Tiandō League Conference will be held in three days. It will undoubtedly be a crusade against the Council of Light."
"The Tiandō League Conference?
Three days later? "Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes." Qin Wanchou said, "At that time, it might mean the outbreak of a world war.
We might not only be attacked by the Evil ways, but also all the factions of the Tiandō League and even all the factions of the East Continent. "
"Don't worry. A world war won't break out."
Yang Dingtian said, "As long as we annihilate Zhu Qingzhu's army on the sea and prevent them from seeing any hope of victory or any hope of crossing the vast ocean, they will give up. They might even abandon Zhu Qingzhu and rely on our Radiant Parliament."
Yang Dingtian said, "Therefore, our strategy hasn't changed. We will completely annihilate Zhu Qingzhu's army on the sea!"
Qiu Wanjie said pessimistically, "But the Cloud Sky Pavilion has already betrayed us.
We don't have a strong navy anymore. "
"If we don't have a strong navy, we will build one ourselves." Yang Dingtian said, "There is still more than a month before Zhu Qingzhu's army gathers.
In this month, we will build an incomparably strong secret navy, one that is enough to annihilate Zhu Qingzhu's army! "
"How, how is this possible?" Qiu Wanjie said.
"Nothing is impossible." Yang Dingtian said resolutely, "Tang Bozhao, I will return to the secret underground arsenal of Cloud Sky City later.
I will give you the blueprints. Our secret arsenal will be fully invested in the production of this secret weapon for the next month. "
"Yes!" Tang Bozhao said.
"Manor Master Qiu." Yang Dingtian said, "Regarding crystal power, your Divine Weapons Manor is the most advanced.
In this world, only you have created small crystal crossbows. Immediately create all the talents related to crystal power and send them to the underground arsenal of Cloud Sky City to start the production of new weapons. "
Qiu Wanjie was stunned. He hesitated and said, "Yes!"
Yang Dingtian said, "Also, immediately requisition Fire Island.
Send the Demon Eagle Army, Demon Dragon Army, Grandmasters, and Grandmasters.
He immediately ordered everyone on Raging Flame Island to leave.
Divine Weapons Manor, Northwest Qin City, send all the talents in shipbuilding, weapon manufacturing, and crystal power to Fire Island to start the production of new secret weapons.
Within half a month, the research must be completed.
Within a month, we have to build a few hundred ships.
During this time, no one is allowed to leave Fire Island! "
"Yes!" Everyone shouted.
Qiu Wanjie said hesitantly, "But, can your secret weapon really annihilate Zhu Qingzhu's army?"
"It definitely can."
Yang Dingtian said, "Furthermore, it will be easier and more thorough than destroying Qin Qiqi's army!"
*****
That night, Yang Dingtian immediately led his men and headed for Inferno Island.
The owner of Fire Island was Ling Wu, who was wearing a red wedding dress and chasing after Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian had saved Ling Zhong's life before.
Yang Dingtian directly went to the Ling Family to discuss the requisition of the island and the production of the secret killing weapon.
In the next three days, Yang Dingtian would confirm the design of this secret killing weapon. After that, he would immediately start the research and production work.
Because three days later, the Tiandō League would be held.
At that time, Yang Dingtian would leave the Ning Clan of the Southern Sea. At that time, it would be time for Yang Dingtian to disguise himself as Ning Yue to save Kui Si and settle Wu Mozhi.
