The Monkey King

In the early morning, the bright sunshine dispelled the fog.

A drop of dew slowly slid from the leaf and fell quickly.

Dense smoke rose from the mountains in the distance, and silver figures lazily walked out of the tents, quickly filling the corridors of the camp.

They sat around chewing pancakes, drinking hot soy milk, and chatting like a lively market.

"Aren't you going to take a battleship today?" asked a heavenly soldier.

"No riding." The heavenly soldier on the side shook his head: "I heard that we have to walk. Hey, I don't know who came up with the tactic."

"No way, you still have to walk? This is nonsense."

"You two, be careful what you say." The young general standing behind them patted them on the shoulders.

Immediately, the two soldiers quickly blocked their mouths with the soy milk in their hands.

Casting a cold glance at them, the young general said, "If I hear someone discussing strategy and tactics indiscriminately again, don't blame me for reporting it to General Xue."

After the young general left, the two started whispering again.

"This tactic was formulated by General Xue?"

"Isn't that right? General Xue's face didn't look good when I saw him talking about it yesterday. He is used to guarding Nantianmen all year round. How could he like this kind of marching on the ground?"

"Who instituted that?"

"That's right, people who want to go up..."

The Heavenly Soldier looked up at the sky, and the other Heavenly Soldier immediately shut up knowingly.

After a while, in one of the two groups, the five thousand heavenly soldiers finally finished their meal and began to prepare for the station.

"Leave all the heavy equipment in the camp. Don't bring heavy equipment. I remind you again, don't bring heavy equipment! Try not to bring anything that you can't bring. Only carry weapons and dry food!" A young general walked among the heavenly soldiers and kept saying Shouting.

A slumped-looking general with a frown and a mustache came from a distance.

When the young general saw the general, he quickly bowed and said, "General Xue, you slept well last night."

"Okay?" General Xue glared at him impatiently: "What a fart! What the hell is the weather in this world? Hey, the roasted deer you made for me last night made my stomach hurt. If not For the sake of your good intentions, I should have given you a few whips!"

Upon hearing this, the young general quickly shrank his head and lowered his head.

General Xue sighed heavily, frowned and looked around the camp and asked, "Are you not ready yet?"

"It's... not even close. The soldiers have been accustomed to ship combat for a long time. This time they have to fight on land, so they will inevitably be a little uncomfortable."

"Hurry up, hurry up, and go back to Nantianmen as soon as you're done. You really can't stay in this damn place. Hey... If Nantianmen didn't have any military merits, I wouldn't have bothered to come here."

"I will obey my orders."

After another commotion for a while, the five thousand troops were finally reorganized.

But there was also a fuss over who was guarding the camp.

Everyone knew that this time they were going to receive merit, so how could they accept coming all the way to guard the camp?

So Xue Tian will propose that those who guard the camp will also receive equal merit.

Now, everyone was vying to defend the camp. After struggling for a while, Xue Tianjiang, who was already in a bad mood, went crazy. The final result is that they are all disrupted. The heavenly soldiers are ranked according to their grades, and the weakest ones are left to guard the camp.

There was still a fuss like this, but the heavenly soldiers looked at General Xue Tian's face getting more and more ugly, so they didn't dare to speak again.

The final result was that the weakest 500 were left to guard the camp, and the remaining 4500 were dispatched.

After finally setting off, a mighty silver team began to wind its way through the valley.

Unlike the mortal army, this flying heavenly army means walking, you know, their horses are all flying.

After only taking a few steps, some heavenly soldiers began to curse.

The original decision to walk was to avoid being discovered in an ambush. After all, the opponent's generals had settled the situation, but the soldiers had not. The evil dragon cannot afford enough battleships, and land battles are no better than ship battles. Once they are dispersed, they cannot be pursued with battleships.

It is for this reason that they chose the canyon as the ambush location. When they are surrounded, they will take the pot and no one can escape.

But looking at the swaggering appearance of this army, I'm afraid it's not much worse than flying.

In a clump of green leaves on the hillside in the distance, Short Mouth curled up and pushed aside the green leaves to stare at the slowly advancing silver army in the distance. He took out a jade slip from his waist and put it to his mouth.

"They were dispatched. They were indeed on foot. They did not carry heavy weapons. They left the warships at the station. They followed the agreed route, but they were a little later than the agreed time."

"knew."

"They released the scouts! Two heavenly soldiers just flew over, what should I do?"

"Find more people and solve the problem. Do it cleanly and don't leave any further trouble."

"clear."

"Also, just reduce the frequency of the opponent's reconnaissance. If none of the heavenly soldiers sent out come back, any general will realize that something is wrong."

"knew."

…

In the valley dozens of miles away, the monkey slowly put down the jade slip and glanced lightly at the monster leaders around him.

The monster leaders all looked at him intently, clenching their fists and holding back cold sweat on their foreheads.

Under the slope behind them, there was a large group of black monsters that were equally nervous to the extreme.

So many monsters gathered together, but apart from the muffled gasps, not even a single sound was made.

"The other party has fully complied with the agreement, can you rest assured now?" Monkey looked at them calmly and said.

"This...when did we worry? We must believe you!" A snake spirit said, sticking out its tongue.

The goblin leaders around him burst into laughter, but their laughter was a little dry and weak.

After all, they are still afraid.

The monkey didn't laugh along, but just watched coldly, making each leader lower his head.

There was silence.

The lion spirit finally raised his head and suppressed a smile: "Brother Monkey, it turns out you knew that they were marching along this route. Hahahaha, we were already prepared. We follow Brother Monkey and we will definitely win this time. You are right." wrong?"

"That's right!" The leaders all agreed.

The monkey looked at him expressionlessly and replied: "I didn't know anything before. I just got this thing last night. The method was only thought of yesterday."

At this point, the faces of the leaders turned a little livid.

This time, it was really a narrow escape...

The entire atmosphere dropped to freezing point, and all the monsters were silent, a suffocating silence.

After a long time, the lion spirit took a deep breath and said with a slight trembling: "Everyone, it is best to be mentally prepared. Only some of us will survive this time. Everyone, including myself, may die. But if we don’t go, we will all die.”

There was silence again, as silent as death.

"Give it a try!" Elephant Spirit clenched his fists and shouted.

"Let's all work together to kill the heavenly army!" The tiger spirit stretched out his hand.

"Damn it, even if I die, I don't want to die in pain!" The black wolf spirit also stretched out his hand.

"Pull a few people on their backs!"

"Fuck his whole family!"

Hands of different sizes gathered together. They came from different races, but they had the same name - demon!

All the leaders gritted their teeth and looked at the monkey with their eyes.

"Let them walk around without food!" The monkey also stretched out his hand, looking at the leaders who were filled with wildness again, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "This is something to say!"

"Go to war——!" The hysterical roars went straight into the sky!

Not long after, this mighty demon army quietly set off.

Whether they were the leader or the little demon, they all looked solemn and walked on tiptoe, consciously choosing places where the sun wouldn't shine.

Those pairs of eyes carefully observed the movements around them, with leaves in their mouths, and no one dared to make a sound.

In the surrounding forests and on the hillsides, demons spread out and sneaked carefully, silently conveying messages in sign language.

Twenty thousand men and horses were moving, and the noise they stirred up could even cover up the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The three heavenly soldiers who came out to investigate flew over their heads and did not notice this large army at all. However, they had no chance to reach where they predicted the monster army would be, because dozens of bird monsters had already quietly followed them.

His heart leaped into his throat, his nerves stretched to the limit, and his meticulous style of conduct.

All this is because they all know that this battle is a matter of life and death.

No one wants to die.

…

At this moment, in the clouds about a hundred miles away from this army, a young general from the Heavenly Army flapped his wings and landed steadily in front of the canopy.

"Marshal, the Eastern Route Army has already set off."

"Where's the West Road?"

"There's no movement yet. The troops from the Monster Clan launched an attack before dawn today, and the four warships have also moved westward, seemingly to meet the West Route Army. Forgive me for speaking frankly, it seems that the Monster Clan's troops are treating this battle. We should pay more attention to it than the Black Turtle Department. Their security is very tight, even a few of the scouts we sent out have disappeared."

"Why are there only four ships? Weren't there six when they set off?"

"It seems that there was civil strife in the demon camp last night, and two ships were destroyed. My subordinates just sent people to investigate, and thousands of people were killed and injured."

"Oh?" The corners of Tianpeng's mouth raised slightly and he said with a smile, "What is this?"

"The details are still unclear."

"What about the Demon City? Have you found out the location of the Demon King?"

"Everything in the demon city is as usual, and the defense is even a bit lax. The Demon King has been confirmed to be in the city."

"Oh, I see."

"Marshal, what should we do now?" Tian Heng, who was standing aside, asked.

Tianpeng sighed lightly, looked at the green mountains in the distance and said with a faint smile: "I'm starting to hope that the demon clan will win. These Nantianmen soldiers should learn a lesson. Continue to stand still. , just wait and see how they play. Monitor all parties closely and do not let them know our existence."

"promise!"
