The Monkey King

Chapter 291: Picking up the bargains

The war that had been waiting for several years finally started, and every monster in the entire Huaguo Mountain tensed up.

Everyone believes that this will be a protracted war, and its beginning will be as violent as a storm. Whether they can withstand the first wave will be the key to victory or defeat.

When all resources were mobilized, all monsters worked hard, and even prepared for the worst, they suddenly discovered that the heavenly army was crawling on the road like tortoises...

This is a ridiculous scene.

Judging from the speed of the Tianhe navy's advance, it will take two months for them to reach Huaguo Mountain.

Initially, the entire Huaguoshan did not believe in the inference of these "two months". Even Monkey, the coach, did not believe it. In their eyes, the Tianhe navy had no reason to waste two months on the road.

When announcing this information at the military council, Monkey repeatedly warned that the Tianhe navy might be hiding some back-up plan, so the real war would not wait until two months later, and they must be ready at any time for a sudden attack like the last time.

As a result, the soldiers' nerves became even tighter. A large number of scouts searched repeatedly within a two-thousand-mile area centered on Huaguo Mountain every day, and they never stopped patrolling even at high altitudes.

As a result, a month has passed and nothing really happened...

"Is it true that the Tianhe navy has no confidence in defeating me? Then why are they making such a fuss?"

Sitting cross-legged on the lawn at the top of Huaguo Mountain, Monkey felt the breeze blowing in his face, frowning and looking at Yang Chan.

The intense gaze made Yang Chan's face get a little hot. She turned around and said coldly: "What do you think I am for? Maybe they just accidentally assigned the heavy ships of the Chinese army to the left and right armies. .What if we have to slow down as a result?”

The monkey burst into laughter. He nodded and said: "Well. It's possible. That should be the reason. It's impossible for the Tianhe navy to make mistakes, right? There are many words. There is no reason for us to worry about the other party's mistakes. Anyway, the world is full of wonders. .Ha ha ha ha."

Of course this is a nonsensical joke, but right now in Huaguo Mountain, there really is nothing to do except tell bad jokes.

The fleet suspended in the sky casts its shadow to the earth like dark clouds. Although most of them are small wooden warships, they still look majestic and majestic.

Under that dark cloud. The mountain range that stretches for tens of miles has the flag of Huaguo Mountain flying everywhere. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, guarding monsters and stone walls can be seen everywhere.

Circles and circles, looking from a distance, it looks like collars on the mountain.

Within the stone wall, countless demon soldiers patrolled back and forth tirelessly, and countless lieutenants came and went to check their posts.

The weapons and armor were all polished with a cold light, but the monsters holding them were not very energetic.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. That's probably what I'm talking about. In the first ten days, the monkey even served as a scout himself, traveling tens of thousands of miles.

Now……

This day is so difficult. The monkey even looked forward to the Tianhe Navy arriving soon.

"This move is really hard to understand. Are they deliberately waiting for us to let down our guard?" Thinking about it, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

Having learned the lesson from the last sneak attack by the Tianhe Navy with flame bombs from above, Huaguoshan used all stones this time.

Of course, it is impossible and meaningless to build large-scale stone buildings in this short period of time. When talking about using stone, it actually means hollowing out the mountain.

After all, the mountain is just stone, and what is dug out can be used to build walls.

Many monsters in the original dungeon have been moved away, and the vacant positions can be used to hoard various resources and garrison troops. Coupled with the newly dug underground city and the passages extending in all directions, the entire Huaguo Mountain is now an entire underground world, with a spider web-like structure. Arrays were set up at each node to prevent the Tianhe navy from forcibly capturing an entrance and then pouring flame bombs directly into it.

With such a posture, it is definitely no problem to resist the fire attack of Tianhe Navy, but what about other attacks? No matter how hard it is reinforced, it is still an underground structure. Once it collapses, there will be nowhere to run.

This is actually the main reason why the monkeys strongly supported moving to the ground. After all, they are not groundhogs. Even groundhogs have to move before the earthquake strikes.

However, it turns out that he was overthinking it.

According to what Yang Chan revealed, heaven has its own rules. Although Heaven has countless abilities, and even reincarnation is in its hands, not all of them can be used in war.

As an organization that controls all kinds of rules of heaven and earth, they actually have to abide by various rules.

For example, hurricanes and earthquakes are generally banned in war.

Think about it, as long as the hurricane is big enough, any number of warships will be killed. But the problem is that the hurricane can destroy the entire fleet, and the damage caused is unimaginable. By the same token, if a reinforced and re-reinforced structure in an underground city can be collapsed, how large an area would the earthquake need to spread? How many innocent people could be affected by this?

Not to mention the canopy, even the Jade Emperor cannot bear this responsibility.

Of course, there is also a question here, that is, how big a hurricane or earthquake will heaven be held responsible for?

There has never been a clear standard for this thing. It is just a bunch of immortals in the Lingxiao Palace arguing with one mouth. Although the Tianhe navy does not have the ability to cause large-scale hurricanes and earthquakes, it must be prepared for everything.

Therefore, while garrisoning the army underground, Monkey also allowed the demon soldiers serving on the ship to live directly on the battleship and provide a large amount of supplies. In this way, even if the underground was unfortunately destroyed, the fleet could still continue to be active.

However, by doing this, the fleet that could originally carry 80,000 demon soldiers was now fully loaded with 50,000 demon soldiers. Flying... is actually a bit difficult.

Why?

Because the most valuable and scarce material on this floating battleship is the gem that is the core of the battleship.

But Monkey's fleet is not as lavish as the Heavenly Army, and they cannot afford those rare gems as the core of the warship. There are hundreds of small wooden warships mammoth overhead. In fact, it all relies on the monsters on the ship to regularly replenish their spiritual power to operate.

If the Heavenly Army is an automated mechanical force. They just paddled the sampan by hand.

It’s really poor when you think about it.

Fortunately, apart from the fact that it requires regular input of spiritual energy, its speed is not as fast as others, and its service time cannot be as long as a steel battleship. There are no other drawbacks.

"As long as I kill the Tianhe Navy this time and get their warships, then I will completely own a large fleet!" Lying on the grass and looking at the fleet floating slightly in the sky with the breeze, Monkey couldn't help but sigh.

"What a beautiful thought." Yang Chan said quietly beside her, bending her legs.

"By the way, Guanjiangkou was at war with the Tianhe Navy. Were they procrastinating like this?" The monkey turned his head and asked.

"It was quite slow, but that time it was because the Jade Emperor was on a personal expedition. The flagship itself was very slow, and the army had to adapt to the speed of the flagship. Moreover, it was not as slow as it is now."

"By the way, how did you defeat them back then?"

"How to defeat?" Yang Chan raised his head, thought for a moment, and replied: "The army pressed forward, and the Seven Saints of Meishan flanked them. My brother broke through directly and won."

"Breakthrough in the middle? Didn't they form a battle formation? The last time I encountered their battle formation, I was fooled. Although the speed is not good, it is not that simple to break through head-on."

Yang Chan pursed her lips and smiled: "Their battle formations are busy dealing with the battleships at Guanjiangkou."

"Ah?" The monkey was slightly stunned: "There should be more battleships in Guanjiangkou, right? There are quite a few words"...

"It's definitely not as many as them. In the whole world, who has more warships than the Tianhe Navy?"

"Not more than them? What special formation was used? A breakthrough in the center of the cone formation?"

"No." Yang Chan shook her head. He took a deep breath and said: "The battleships in Guanjiangkou are different from those anywhere else. Ours are living battleships. Each battleship is a dryad that is more than five thousand years old. Crash into it and then use it directly. It's enough to be entangled with tree vines. The entangled battleship will basically be useless."

The monkey couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

This is really unheard of.

Using dryads to transform into warships... is a great idea. It's a pity that plant monsters are hard to find, let alone a five-thousand-year-old tree monster.

Yang Jian's grass-headed gods were all obtained by chance.

There are currently no more than ten plant monsters in Huaguo Mountain. This also includes the grass spirit that has been squatting motionless at the entrance of the water curtain cave all day long, as well as several thousand-year-old trees that originally existed in Huaguo Mountain. Later, Not one of the people who took refuge was seen.

Plant monsters are a different type of monster. They have low aggressiveness, slow growth, and small numbers, making them difficult to take on big roles. Often even if they transform, they don't want to move and just stand there.

This is one of the reasons why Heavenly Court doesn’t care much.

Don't even think about building an army out of such rare items.

From a distance, the monkey saw the short beak flying here from another hilltop, and stood up quickly.

"What's up?"

Landing steadily in front of the monkey, he blinked his short mouth and said with some uncertainty: "The main force of the Tianhe Navy must have been found, in Nanzhan Buzhou."

"Is it the right army?"

"No." Short Mouth shook his head and said: "It's not the Right Army. In addition to the Third Route Army we know, there is also the Fourth Route. I don't know when it set off. It went straight to Shuangyu Mountain. It is now Fight against the army of the Six Demon Kings."

"What?"

Yang Chan and Monkey couldn't help but exclaimed.

"How is this possible? Isn't the imperial edict against us?"

"I don't really believe it, but the news was given by the Wan Sheng Dragon King, so it shouldn't be wrong." Short Mouth said slowly: "It is said that the scouts from Shuangyu Mountain discovered the Tianhe navy army yesterday, and then started fighting. Then The six demon kings were unprepared and were caught off guard. Fortunately, this was not the first time they faced off against the Tianhe navy, and the number that appeared was not particularly large. It was estimated to be around 100,000. After a day, they finally stabilized their position slightly. But we were still retreating steadily. We couldn't stand it any longer, so the Bull Demon King informed the All-Saint Dragon King that he wanted us to be reinforcements, and that's when the news came to us."

"Only one hundred thousand? Can this be considered the main force?". The monkey's eyes narrowed into slits: "If the force is divided into four lines, is it possible that the Tianhe navy still wants to fight on two fronts? Isn't this looking for death?".

Short Mouth shook his head and said: "Although there are only a hundred thousand, they are all elites. Moreover... Marshal Tianpeng personally supervised the battle, and Tiannei and Tianxin also appeared. The flags of other fleets are all fake, specially hung for We watched it.”

Raising his head, the monkey fell into deep thought for a moment.

If combined with the previous actions of dividing the troops into three groups and flying the wrong flag, then the three groups of troops coming to Huaguo Mountain were all feints. They were all done to distract the attention of Huaguo Mountain and even Shuangyu Mountain. In this case, it is understandable that the arrival time is delayed.

But why did the Tianhe navy suddenly change its direction and attack Shuangyu Mountain?

This is really puzzling.

"What should we do?" Short Mouth asked: "Shall we take the opportunity to attack the three armies coming towards us?".

"They are so far away from us. Even if we can successfully harass them, we can't hurt their bones. Moreover, the Tianhe navy only sent a hundred thousand troops to Shuangyu Mountain. If we attack by force, it will not have much effect, but it will be risky."

"Then we continue to sit and wait?"

"No." The monkey crossed his hands and said meaningfully: "Let's go find something cheap."
