"Li Shaoxia, where did you get so many military supplies?" Commander Qu finally couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"Bought them."
Li Mo maintained the Small World's passage, his mind somewhat elsewhere.
Well, he wasn't exactly elsewhere.
The notification sounds in his ears were too numerous, ringing every second, and often more than one at a time, making his head buzz.
Forget counting, he couldn't even keep track of them.
"Bought... them?"
Commander Qu almost choked on his own saliva.
"Don't worry, Commander, I absolutely did not do anything illegal or disorderly. All these things were obtained through legitimate channels."
Li Mo said, and then added:
"Oh, besides military supplies, there are a few other things."
"Some items need to be transported carefully, handled with care."
As his voice fell.
Bang—
Dust was kicked up from the hardened yellow earth. These were crossbows with intricate inscriptions, their cold gleam under the lamplight making one's scalp tingle.
There were also boxes of iron, emanating an explosive aura, containing unknown contents.
But Commander Qu, an Inner Vision Realm expert, felt a sharp sense of danger at first glance, causing a strong alarm in his heart.
The things inside were definitely not benevolent.
There were also three-man-tall thunder beast hide drums... formation stones carved with array patterns and exuding a mountain-like aura...
"....."
Commander Qu looked at this pile of strictly forbidden weapons and fell into contemplation.
Legitimate channels?
What legitimate channels could acquire such military hardware?
Even those in Qingmu Camp were not as fine!
"Brother Li, what is this?"
Huang Donglai's eyes lit up. He particularly liked such extremely destructive 'external objects'.
"That's a Rong Yuan Military Crossbow. Even Inner Scenery experts wouldn't dare to take it head-on. If activated with xuan crystal, its power is even greater, but unfortunately, it breaks after only a few uses."
"And this one?"
"Pili Thunderfire Pills. Wait! Be gentle, this stuff is easy to explode. If one explodes, they all explode, and the military camp will be blown sky-high."
"Hiss... Can I borrow one to study?"
"Just be careful."
"Oh, you know me, Brother Li."
Li Mo carefully took out piles of military supplies.
Watching the warehouse gradually fill with provisions and unique heavy military equipment, Commander Qu was initially shocked, then excitedly ecstatic, and finally somewhat numb.
There was too much.
So much that his surging emotions had become the norm.
And Li Shaoxia even said that this wasn't all, just the first batch.
He was silent for a long time, no longer asking Li Mo about the origin of these things, nor how they were delivered.
"Li Shaoxia, why are you doing this?"
Commander Qu couldn't quite understand this young man.
These items combined were priceless.
They could be used to establish a sect, or squandered for ten lifetimes without running out.
Li Mo could have left, taking his Han Xianzi, leaving without a trace.
Yet he came back, taking great risks, bringing back military supplies and those outrageous military weapons.
Commander Qu had many questions, but he asked none of them.
Not long after.
The camp was brightly lit.
Guards galloped on horseback, transmitting orders everywhere:
"The Commander has ordered! Li Shaoxia has generously helped, reward the three armies!"
Before the war, letting the soldiers eat and drink their fill could boost morale.
One by one, military tents were opened, and the soldiers stopped what they were doing, looking with surprise and joy towards the direction of the messenger guard.
Reward the three armies?
The soldiers had not heard these four words for a very, very long time. For a long time, even the pensions in the camp were meager, and it was only thanks to good military discipline that no mutiny or internal strife occurred.
Many people privately discussed that if things continued like this, Qingmu Camp wouldn't even be able to maintain its structure.
The name shouted by the personal guards made them feel as if they had seen a lamp in the darkness. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Thank you, Li Shaoxia!"
The shouts shook the heavens.
Meanwhile, three figures headed towards the main military tent.
Commander Qu listened to the continuous shouts and bowed deeply:
"This bow is on behalf of the soldiers."
"The soldiers of Qingmu Camp haven't been fully paid in a long time."
Li Mo did not decline.
After a moment of silence, he smiled again:
"Now, Commander Qu, how much more confidence do you have in victory?"
"I don't know why, but seeing you, I always feel it's... ten percent!"
As they talked.
The three arrived at the main military tent.
With the food supply temporarily resolved, the generals in the tent had been waiting for a long time, discussing the war situation based on various military reports.
"We have no worries now. As long as we hold Qingmu City, we can wait for the Prince to deploy troops to defend."
"The southern border tribes have only a limited number more troops than us, but they have various Disaster Beasts assisting them. Can we hold out?"
The defending side, even against enemies several times their number, has a great chance of winning.
But the enemies this time, the Human Race coerced into fighting, were secondary. The most difficult to deal with were the Disaster Beasts revered as 'Wuling'.
Qingmu City had previously repelled small-scale Disaster Beast tides many times.
But this time, the Disaster Beasts, like an army, came with a very strong purpose and extremely strong discipline, clearly different from before.
"This doesn't seem like a Disaster Beast tide at all."
Listening to the generals' discussion, Li Mo voiced his doubts:
"Why do I feel like we're fighting an enemy nation?"
"That's not wrong to [N O V E L I G H T] say."
Commander Qu sat in the main seat, his tone somber:
"Many of the tribes coming to Qingmu City are Great Shang Remnants, and there are also experts from the Demon Summoning Sect involved. There's also someone named Han Zhen, whose Realm is unknown, but his methods are particularly bizarre, and the Disaster Beasts seem to follow him."
"Han Zhen..."
The familiar name was brought up again. Li Mo looked at everyone present and said:
"He was once a Seventh Realm Controlling Mystery expert, who used a secret technique to barely survive."
"Seventh Realm?!"
The atmosphere in the tent became silent for a moment. The generals looked solemn, some opening their mouths but not knowing what to say.
The Seventh Realm was almost the pinnacle of the renowned experts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Wind and Cloud Rankings no longer recorded their ranks, because they had all mastered a 'Dao'.
The Dao has no strength or weakness. Every Controlling Mystery expert possesses unfathomable abilities, making comparison impossible.
Seeing the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.
Li Mo timely smiled and said: "However, this person, speaking of it, was defeated by me and Ying Bing."
He actually had no confidence in his heart.
Because Han Zhen simply couldn't be measured by the standards of ordinary peers. Han Zhen wasn't their peer to begin with, but an old monster.
What if Han Zhen had a way, even at a great cost, to temporarily return to his Peak?
No one could say for sure.
But Li Mo didn't want to dampen everyone's morale. Having the confidence to win made winning possible.
"Li Shaoxia is right. He and Han Xianzi could defeat that Han Zhen once, and they will surely defeat him a second time!"
"He's just a withered bone in a tomb, possessing a corpse!"
"It's not just him; there's also Hélián Wù from the Duoyue tribe, who isn't easy to deal with either."
The generals encouraged each other and resumed their discussion.
Li Mo, meanwhile, silently assessed himself.
He could now augment the power of the military formation. In that state, combined with the power of the world, a single Heaven-Overturning Hammer strike would probably be too much for even Outer Scenery experts to bear.
There were also Somersault Cloud, Indestructible Diamond, and Seventy-Two Transformations.
Moreover.
There was one more thing he hadn't done.
The Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram could now be further deduced.
At that time, his strength would be even greater.
And, as everyone knows.
Xiao Li, the upright gentleman, was a Genius.
Not to mention being well-versed in military strategies, but he had a deep understanding of the Fighting King Profound Meaning, which contained many methods of overcoming the strong with the weak.
War is just many people fighting, which is very reasonable.
He now had many Genius ideas in his mind, though he didn't know if they were practical.
"We must win."
Li Mo clenched his fist.
Besides other reasons, he never forgot the reason this war came early.
The jade phoenix god.
And the jade phoenix god had already merged with Ice Cube.
