Of course, Ning Wuming's words were not that simple.
Other than the fact that Yang Dingtian had refused, the mediation had failed.
In addition, Ning Wuming represented the Vulture Sect and the Sea of Hades to announce that they would end the war with the smallest price.
They would work hard to prevent this war from turning into a world war between the western region and the central region.
In short, they had to make sure that fewer people died and less blood was shed in this war.
According to his original words, "Since I can't stop this tragedy, I will make it smaller and the process faster."
It was unknown how many people shed tears of gratitude when they heard these words, but who would know the cruelty behind these words?
Was there a way to make the tragedy smaller and the process faster?
Was there a way to make fewer people die and less blood flow?
It was very simple!
Yang Dingtian's army was completely annihilated at sea.
Then, they could not stop the central region's army from landing.
The central region's army would use the fastest time to completely occupy the western region.
… …
Wu Youming's announcement had just been made.
The Great Elder of the Fissure City announced in the central region that the Fissure City would remain neutral in this war and would not participate in any side.
However, he still hoped that City Lord Yang Dingtian would accept the mediation and dissolve the Council of Light. This way, the war would not break out.
The Sky Cloud Pavilion also announced that they would remain neutral in this war.
Moreover, they condemned Yang Dingtian's stubbornness. They could not even guarantee that the Sky Cloud Pavilion would work hard to stop this war when the situation required it.
The Sky Cloud Pavilion's words were not clear, but the meaning was clear.
Because of Yang Dingtian's offense, the Sky Cloud Pavilion remained neutral, but they could not guarantee what they would do next.
After all, peace was the most important thing.
… …
The gathering of eight million soldiers for an expedition was an incomparably huge project.
Almost all the forces in the central region had sent their elites to participate in the war.
The northern central region, the great central region, and the southern central region.
Almost all the docks and ports had been turned into huge military camps.
Every day, countless soldiers boarded the warships.
Looking down at the central region, it was densely packed with black soldiers.
Zhu Qingzhu had given everything he had for this war, for the sake of seizing the western region.
Eight million soldiers, more than ten thousand warships of various types!
That's right, more than ten thousand ships!
There had never been such a scene in the history of Earth.
In the early civilizations of Earth, the largest population of each country was only in the tens of millions, and the armies they sent out were only in the hundreds of thousands.
In the modern and modern times, the United States repeatedly carried out the largest scale of expeditions across the sea.
From World War II to the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War.
There were two expeditions that reached the million-level.
The rest were all expeditions that involved hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
However, at this time, Earth's warships were already incomparably huge.
From a few thousand tons to tens of thousands of tons.
Therefore, during the American expedition, the number of ships that were dispatched was only in the thousands.
Therefore, the simultaneous deployment of tens of thousands of warships was only a legend in the Earth era.
But in the Chaos World, it became reality!
Of the ten thousand plus warships, there were more than two thousand battleships.
More than half of the warships that weighed more than 500 tons, amounting to more than 3,000.
The western world, on the other hand, barely had a hundred or so large ships after some repairs.
The largest ship in the Central State weighed more than six thousand tons.
The largest ship in the Western World was 1,200 tons.
In addition to the eight million troops and more than ten thousand warships.
The Central State was also fully equipped with more than fifteen thousand giant crystal crossbows and forty thousand medium-sized crystal crossbows. They could completely seal off any attack in the air.
Unless it was a high-altitude attack.
Moreover, that was not all.
There were also more than eighty thousand flying cavalry legions.
The Vulture Sect's Black Vulture Legion did not move, but that did not mean that the Central State did not have an air force. It just did not have an ace air force.
In the entire Central State, all the combat flying cavalry were gathered, and there were more than eighty thousand flying cavalry legions.
Among them, the ten thousand Golden Eagle Legion was the ace army.
The Eagle Nest had lost thirty thousand Golden Eagle Legion in the Cloud Sky City three times, completely damaging their foundation. Now, they had done their best and still sent out ten thousand Golden Eagle Legion.
Therefore, the combat strength of the Central State was roughly as follows.
Eight million troops, thirteen thousand warships, and two thousand battleships.
Fifteen thousand giant crystal crossbows, forty thousand medium-sized crystal crossbows, eighty thousand air legions, and ten thousand Golden Eagle Legion.
The combat strength of the Western World was roughly as follows.
Three million troops, fifty thousand air legions, six thousand cannons, ten thousand giant crystal crossbows, twenty thousand medium-sized crystal crossbows.
Eighteen thousand miniature crystal crossbows, eight hundred different types of warships, and two hundred battleships!
Of course, including the extremely crude submarines, there were more than five hundred ships.
From the looks of it, there was not much difference between the forces.
That was because the Northwest Qin City and the World Society had almost given their all.
Especially the Northwest Qin City, as the world's largest territory and the world's wealthiest, it was not without reason.
The crystal crossbows and the flying cavalry legions alone were equivalent to a small half of the Central State.
However, the military strength of the Western World was mostly on land.
These troops and the crystal crossbows could not reach the sea.
Therefore, in the Western World, there were only a hundred thousand troops, two thousand medium-sized anti-air crystal crossbows, twenty thousand flying cavalry, and eight hundred small ships that could fight the Central State Army on the sea.
It was not even one-tenth of the Central State Army!
…
Yan City, the temporary headquarters of the Council of Light.
"Sovereign, we cannot win the naval battle. There is no hope." Qiu Wanjie was the first to speak.
Hearing his pessimistic tone, everyone turned to look at him.
"The Demon Eagle Legion has left and the Kerosene Tactic cannot be used. We have already lost this naval battle.
Our naval strength is less than one-hundredth of Zhu Qingzhu's. There is no way we can win, "Qiu Wanjie said.
"Then are you still going to surrender?" Song Xiao asked angrily.
For some reason, Song Xiao's stubbornness was very prominent no matter if it was the Evil ways or the Council of Light.
When he was working with the Evil ways, the others were just putting on a show when they attacked Cloud Sky City.
Only Song Xiao went all out and went south to the Poison Strait to give Cloud Sky City a fatal blow.
After joining the Council of Light, he was also extremely stubborn and did not even consider changing sides.
Qiu Wanjie knew Song Xiao's personality and did not bicker with him. He continued, "My opinion is that we should not fight on the sea. If the entire army is wiped out, it will be a huge blow to the morale.
We should fight on land and wait for them to come ashore! "
Song Chunhua said, "On the surface, we have three million soldiers, but in reality, those who are truly loyal to the Council of Light barely number one million.
As for the rest, once the Central State Army arrives, it would be good if they did not surrender.
The entire western region has hundreds of thousands of miles of coastline.
We can't block or defend against them. "
Qiu Wanjie said, "Then let's gather all of our forces in a few cities.
With Yan City, West Prefecture City, South Prefecture City, Qin City, Cloud Sky City, and Ba City as strongholds, let the three million soldiers enter the cities and guard them. This way, our cannons will be able to display their greatest advantage. "
Qin Huaiyu said, "This way, we will have to give up 90% of our territory and 70% of our citizens.
We will lose even if we don't fight.
Moreover, without the Demon Eagle Legion, the enemy's Golden Eagle Legion will be invincible.
The cannons will be easily destroyed. "
Qiu Wanjie said, "This won't work, that won't work, then what should we do?"
Qiu Wanjie used to be very cunning and never said anything that would offend others.
Because after killing Zhu Hongli, there was no way out. Instead, he became more direct with his words.
"I still say the same thing. Annihilate the enemy on the sea. Annihilate the entire Central State Army on the sea. Don't let a single soldier come ashore." Yang Dingtian said.
Instantly, everyone looked at Yang Dingtian in astonishment.
Did he have a problem with his brain because of the series of blows he received?
The enemy has over ten thousand ships, while you only have a few hundred.
The enemy has close to a hundred thousand air forces, while you have less than ten thousand.
Annihilating the enemy on the sea, is this a dream?
If the western region's army and the Central State Army were to be compared, it would be one to three.
But if it was a comparison of sea power, the Central State Army was a hundred times stronger than the western region.
If they didn't fight on land and used the advantage of strong cities and cannons to fight a naval battle, they would be stupid.
And most importantly, the western region no longer had an ace air force. Earth Splitting City had already abandoned the western region.
Yang Dingtian looked at everyone and said, "Regarding this naval battle, I have absolute confidence in winning.
The most important thing is, how do we annihilate the enemy's air force?
Also, after the Central Continent Army is completely annihilated at sea, how are we going to capture and rescue the ordinary soldiers? We need to gather all the ships, because these several million soldiers of the Central Continent Army might very well be our core strength in the future World Destroying War! "
When Yang Dingtian said this, everyone was completely stunned.
Even Qin Huaiyu and Song Chunhua, who trusted Yang Dingtian the most, were stunned.
In a naval battle, the disparity in power was one to one. There was no hope of winning at all. Ten thousand soldiers would be annihilated.
Now, the naval battle hadn't even started, but Yang Dingtian was already preparing to capture and rescue the Central State Army.
This, this was absolutely crazy!
Yang Dingtian continued, "I've already said it clearly. In this war, we only have one enemy, and that is the Evil ways' Zhu Qingzhu.
As long as we defeat Zhu Qingzhu, most of the Central State Army will stand on our side. They will become the main force to resist the Evil ways in the future.
Therefore, this battle is different from the battle at Cloud Sky City.
In the battle at Cloud Sky City, we need to destroy the enemy as much as possible. In the naval battle at Central State, we need to completely defeat them and not kill more people. "
Suddenly, Song Xiao couldn't help but say, "My Lord, saving people is another matter. Let's win first.
I don't see any hope of winning this naval battle! "
"Actually, the naval battle isn't completely impossible."
Song Chunhua suddenly said, "If we modify the crystal crossbows and use them to throw barrels of kerosene, we can still burn the Central State Army.
In addition to our submarine troops, this naval battle can be won! "
When Song Chunhua said this, everyone's eyes lit up.
After Earth Splitting City abandoned the Council of Light, the Demon Vulture Army retreated, which was a heavy blow to everyone present. They almost couldn't breathe and even felt like the sky was falling down.
One must know that once the submarine tactic was exposed, it was very easy to be destroyed.
Therefore, the Council of Light placed all their hopes on the kerosene tactic.
However, with Earth Splitting City's betrayal and the Demon Vulture Army's retreat, the kerosene tactic was instantly ineffective.
Therefore, the entire naval battle fell into a hopeless situation.
Now, Song Chunhua proposed a new idea, which was to modify the crystal crossbows to throw barrels of kerosene.
Instantly, everyone looked at Qiu Wanjie, because he was a weapon expert.
"Owner Qiu, is it possible?" Song Chunhua asked.
"Aiya, why didn't I think of that?"
Qiu Wanjie said, "It's totally possible. Moreover, the modification isn't difficult. If you don't pay attention to accuracy, it can be thrown in a curve for 50 miles."
"Then it's done."
Qin Huaiyu said, "Central State has more than ten thousand warships, but they can't be used. Once they catch fire, there's no way to save them.
This naval battle can be fought! "
Everyone was instantly excited.
An all-out naval battle was a strategy that had been set long ago.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to fight on land. If the western world was fully united, it wasn't impossible to defeat the eight million troops of Central State.
However, although the western world looked united on the surface, it was actually a piece of scattered sand. There was no way to gather their strength.
Once the battle started, who knew how many people would lead the way.
Moreover, once the naval battle started, it was destined to be a long battle.
It would become a super large scale war between Central State and the western world. In the end, East State would also be involved, and it would evolve into a world war.
The Legion of Doom hadn't arrived yet, and the Tiandō League was already fighting a world war with itself. That would be a joke. Yang Dingtian would also become a sinner.
Yang Dingtian naturally had the confidence to win, because he had Xiao Xiao, the ancient giant beast.
However, he wouldn't reveal this top secret killing weapon. Even at the highest meeting of the Council of Light, he wouldn't reveal it.
The blow of Ling Wu leaking the secret was really too big.
Moreover, if they could rely on the western world's strength and wisdom to defeat Central State's army, that would be even better.
"Alright, we have no less than five million catties of kerosene barrels. It's more than enough to burn more than ten thousand warships of Central State." Song Chunhua said, "Sect Master, let's modify the crystal crossbows immediately and set sail immediately."
"Okay." Yang Dingtian said, "From now on, we'll completely modify the crystal crossbows.
All the large warships will only be equipped with crystal crossbows and kerosene shells.
The faster crystal warships will be equipped with cannons.
After that, gather all the warships of the western world and set sail several hundred li behind the battlefield. Prepare to rescue people! "
"Yes!" Although everyone still felt strange, they still accepted the order.
Song Chunhua also flew towards Luofu City at the first moment.
Luofu City was a small to medium-sized castle three hundred li away from Yan City. It was already completely empty inside.
All of it was used to store kerosene barrels.
No less than five million catties. More than a hundred thousand kerosene barrels were placed inside.
In fact, the kerosene barrels weren't completely metal barrels anymore. Because there was really no time to make so many metal barrels, many wooden barrels were also made.
More than a hundred thousand kerosene barrels were completely an incomparably huge gunpowder warehouse. Previously, it was the key to victory in the naval battle.
Therefore, Luofu City had completely become a strategic location.
Previously, no less than five hundred Demon Vulture Legion hovered above Luofu City every day, not even a bird was allowed to enter.
As for Song Chunhua, she stayed in Luofu City day and night, looking after all the kerosene barrels.
Not only that, Yang Dingtian even sent a thousand members of the Demon Dragon Legion to guard the periphery of Luofu City.
Even at crucial moments, the Great Grandmaster level expert Dongfang Minmie also came back to guard Cloud Sky City and Luofu City.
The other Great Grandmaster, Qin Wanchou, was in charge of guarding Fire Island.
After the meeting, Song Chunhua didn't stop at all. She directly flew towards Luofu City.
"Sect Master, do you still remember the Demon Fire Demon Phoenix egg that you gave me?" Song Chunhua asked.
"Of course I remember," Yang Dingtian said, "This is a demi-saint level demon beast that swallowed more than ten Xuan Flames."
Moreover, the demi-saint level of demon beasts and the demi-saint level of humans couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
This point was already clear enough. The total amount of Xuan Qi possessed by a demi-saint level demon beast was more than ten times that of a human demi-saint.
Of course, the amount of energy released per unit of time might not be much higher.
Therefore, Wulingzi was a demi-saint. If he was allowed to go all out and kill, when his Xuan Qi was exhausted, he could at most kill tens of thousands of people.
However, the Demon Fire Demon Phoenix was enough to slaughter an entire city. It could turn the entire huge city into ruins and kill everyone.
"Recently, I seem to have heard some noise from it," Song Chunhua said, "but it doesn't seem to have enough energy to hatch it.
I was thinking, would it be better to put it in the magma? "
Yang Dingtian laughed, "If we wait until it grows up, we will have an almost heaven-defying air force."
"Okay, Sect Master, I'm going back to Luofu City. I've already left for more than four hours," Song Chunhua said, and then directly flew away.
"Boom …"
At this moment, a fireball suddenly appeared in the distance.
The entire ground was shaking. The entire Yan City was shaking. Countless tiles fell. Countless beasts ran away in fright. Countless birds flew away in fright.
After a moment, a deafening loud noise was heard.
This was an unprecedentedly huge explosion.
Hundreds of miles away, they could feel the huge vibration and the loud noise.
The fireball that exploded into the sky and the mushroom cloud was actually bigger and more shocking than the atomic bomb explosion seen on TV!
Suddenly, everyone present was horrified. Song Chunhua's face was pale.
"It's, it's the direction of Luofu City!" Song Chunhua hissed.
Then, everyone present madly flew towards Luofu City.
There were tens of millions of catties of kerosene there, a full five thousand tons.
That was the lifeblood of the western region.
… …
More than three hundred miles, half an hour, they had already flown!
Then, everyone looked at the scene on the ground. They were completely shocked and their faces were pale.
"This, is this the end of our Council of Light?" Suddenly, Song Xiao screamed.
Song Chunhua stared blankly at the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The entire Luofu City had been completely turned into ruins.
Not even a complete stone strip could be seen.
Luofu City, which covered an area of hundreds of acres, had been completely turned into rubble and ruins. After the hard boulders exploded, they were directly burned to ashes.
The entire Luofu City had become an incomparably huge pit.
A few thousand meters around Luofu City, all the trees had been burned to charcoal. All the houses had been turned into ruins.
The area within a thousand meters looked as if it had been roasted by fire.
The ruins of Luofu City had become a huge fire field. Everywhere was burning.
And the black smoke that soared to the sky completely covered the sky.
It was as if the entire Luofu City had become hell.
On the ground, there were countless corpses of the Demon Dragon Army. There were hundreds of them, all burned to charcoal.
At the same time, there were hundreds of corpses of various types of winged cavalry.
After the Demon Eagle Army had retreated, the Council of Light immediately instigated hundreds of other winged cavalry to carry out aerial surveillance.
Now, the ten million catties of kerosene had been completely burned and turned into nothingness.
"There are at least three Master level powerhouses." Qin Wanchou said decisively.
Zhu Qingzhu had sent experts to destroy the ten million catties of kerosene.
Previously, when there was the Demon Eagle Army, they could guard against any movement within a radius of five thousand miles.
Therefore, it was very difficult for even Master level experts to enter because they could not escape the surveillance of the Demon Eagle Army.
Once they entered, the west would immediately send Master level and even Great Master level experts to kill them.
Therefore, in this one month, Zhu Qingzhu had lost many experts.
Even if the enemy Master level experts discovered the Demon Eagle Army, they could not do anything because they could not fly as fast as the Demon Eagle Army.
And now, the Demon Eagle Army had retreated from Fissure City.
The aerial surveillance had been changed to ordinary winged cavalry, and the number had increased by nearly ten times.
Tens of thousands of winged cavalry were monitoring the sky for thousands of miles.
However, the enemy Master level experts still broke through, and the Council of Light's winged cavalry did not report anything.
This was because all the winged cavalry who saw the Master level invaders were killed. Their speed was too slow and could not escape the pursuit of the Master level experts.
Qin Wanchou was so angry that his whole body trembled. He suddenly rose into the air and chased towards the east.
Song Xiao was also enraged as he followed closely behind.
The two of them wanted to tear the sneak attacker into pieces!
The defense of Luofu City was very tight.
A Master level expert was stationed here for a long time, and another Great Master level expert took turns to guard.
Moreover, when Song Chunhua came to Yan City, Yan City directly sent a Master and five high-level Revered Martial Artists to temporarily guard Luofu City.
However, there was no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days.
The departure of the Demon Eagle Army directly left a huge hole in Yang Dingtian's aerial defense. Zhu Qingzhu's Master level invaders directly entered and destroyed tens of millions of kilograms of kerosene.
Dongfang Minmie undoubtedly heard the loud noise, but he did not come over. This was because Cloud Sky City was more dangerous at this time, and he had to guard there.
When he saw everyone's expressions of despair.
It was not easy for them to think of a way to modify the crystal crossbows to throw kerosene bombs. Now, all the kerosene bombs were destroyed.
A few hundred winged cavalry warriors, a few hundred Demon Dragon Warriors, one Master and five Revered Martial Artists had died.
Yang Dingtian was also heartbroken!
Yang Dingtian looked at everyone and said, "This is a huge blow to us, but this does not prevent us from winning.
In the Sunset Mountains, there is still a batch of kerosene bombs. Use the fastest speed to transport them all to Yan City.
In addition, use all your strength to extract kerosene.
Get as many kerosene bombs as you can. "
In the end, Yang Dingtian said, "From this, it can be seen that Zhu Qingzhu is doing everything possible to destroy our kerosene. This proves that he is very afraid of our kerosene tactics."
Song Chunhua looked at the burning Luofu City and said sorrowfully, "But the war has already broken out. Even if we do our best, we won't be able to get much kerosene.
Moreover, the most important thing is … … the egg of the Demon Fire Demon Phoenix that you gave me is still in Luofu City. "
"What?" Yang Dingtian cried out in alarm.
The egg of the Demon Fire Demon Phoenix was inside. With such a violent explosion, the egg would have long been smashed to pieces.
"I want to go take a look … …" Suddenly, Song Chunhua rushed into the raging flames. This was a gift from Yang Dingtian, and she cherished it very much.
At this moment.
Suddenly, there was a shocking cry.
Then, a huge Demon Fire Demon Phoenix flew into the raging flames.
… …
