Chapter 232 The Emperor's Son Talks About Military Affairs

Cheng Bai was very interested: "Please give me detailed instructions, my lord."

Nie Ziqiong thought he was considering the future, so he continued, "Our army will be based on the 'ruthless killers' of the Tumin Society. They are fast and have strong stealth. They can also carry out special missions such as reconnaissance and surprise attacks. You can think of them as enhanced troops similar to the Nightmare Army."

Cheng Bai was disappointed and said, "There is no breakthrough."

Nie Ziqiong said: "There are also warriors from the Feathered Tribe, referred to as 'Feathered Warriors'. As flyers, they can attack from a distance and come and go freely. They will be the main force of our army."

The flying troops' air control capability is irreplaceable, and their concept of warfare is clearly far superior to that of the Nightmare Army.

Cheng Bai said: "The Feathered People are at your disposal, and they have unique advantages. They have indeed made great progress, but they are not strong enough."

Nie Ziqiong agreed, "Although the feathered priests are also cultivators, they are made of flesh and blood and cannot regenerate. We are not asking them to kill the enemy head-on. Wantong Xuanmen has become my technical backing. We have built the 'Earth-Pillaring Spirit Boat' for the army. It is much smaller than the Sky-Pillaring Spirit Boat, and the cost is relatively low, but the lethality is not low. When controlled by the feathered priests, it is a powerful weapon for the army."

The Earth-Breaking Spirit Boat is a small air battleship equivalent to a light frigate, with concentrated firepower and flexible maneuverability. Compared with the traditional armies of the Five Continents, the war civilization is so advanced that it is simply not from the same era.

Cheng Bai was surprised and said, "Your Highness's vision and connections are extraordinary. I admire you very much."

Nie Ziqiong saw Cheng Bai's expression change, and he was secretly proud in his heart. He continued: "For land warfare, there is the 'Thunder Chariot', which is equipped with thunder cannons and has a long range. With the cooperation of the ruthless killer to control it, it is a powerful weapon for attacking cities and harvesting."

The Thunder Chariot is equivalent to the tank on Earth. When paired with the Earth-Splitting Spirit Boat, which can be used for both land and air, it is a complete army of hot weapons. Looking across the five continents, it is unique and capable of sweeping the world.

Although Cheng Bai was surprised, he felt that he was still far from being able to do so. At least he had no advantage at all when facing the Sun Chaser army.

The Earth-Splitting Spirit Boat is far behind the Eye of Defeat, and the Thunder Chariot is far behind the Diamond Man, not to mention the others.

Cheng Bai didn't want to brag about his own opinion and attack the other party, so he smiled and said, "The Earth-Splitting Spirit Boat should be very powerful when it travels across the battlefield. If it can master the ability to become invisible and suddenly send down a surprise force from the sky, it can achieve a surprise victory. But as for galloping across the starry sky, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the large star ships."

Nie Ziqiong smiled and said, "Brother Cheng has a good idea. I will tell Wantong Xuanmen that we must develop similar capabilities. Imagine that an invisible spirit boat suddenly launches a large group of thunder chariots and appears to bombard them. How brutal would that be? It will add a powerful tactic."

The Earth-Splitting Spiritual Boat was relatively small, and it was too difficult to carry a large group of Thunder Chariots. Cheng Bai saw that he was confident and asked, "Does the prince have any large spiritual boats?"

Nie Ziqiong said: "It is necessary. The above arms are a bit weak. It is imperative to reduce the cost of the Void Spirit Boat, speed up the construction speed, and put them into the battlefield in batches. For this reason, I asked Lu Zhongfa to seize all the remaining Qingguang Tongmu of the Heroes Association and use them to build the Sky-Splitting Spirit Boat, which is the trump card of the army."

The Sky-Splitting Spirit Boat is a sub-giant aerial combat platform equivalent to a cruiser. It can be deployed on the battlefield with a thunder car. Its maneuverability is slightly inferior, but its firepower is strong. It is undoubtedly the vanguard and main force of the army.

Cheng Bai thought to himself, "So it was you who instructed the master and apprentice to bargain. This is a good opportunity, and it reduces a lot of costs." He asked, "Wantong Xuanmen has advanced technology, which is obviously different from other sects in the Five Continents. Where does it inherit the technology?"

Nie Ziqiong said, "Brother Cheng, you don't know. The three major sects of Shizun Sect, Feitian Sect, and Xianshi Dao have a long history. If you trace the roots of the sects of cultivation in the Five Continents, you will find that they are often closely related to them in ancient times. For example, the ten major sword sects are branches of the Xianshi Dao sword cultivation lineage, and the Wantong Xuan Sect is an independent division from the weapon refining hall that Feitian Sect once owned. Each of them has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years or even longer."

"Thank you for your advice." Cheng Bai thought for a moment and declined, "Prince Nie has mastered the five major arms and laid the foundation for the legion, but it is still far from mature. Let me consider it."

Nie Ziqiong said solemnly: "With the five major arms, it is the time to learn from others' strengths. If everything is left to be solved by Wantong Xuanmen, Brother Cheng will embarrass me."

To put it bluntly, everything has been done. Why would I need you then?

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "It is enough for Prince Nie to have the help of Wantong Xuanmen. I intend to concentrate on the examination and do not want to join the duel between the princes for the time being."

Nie Ziqiong said frankly, "The purpose of the Tianjiao Exam is to advance to the Palace Exam, and the Palace Exam is to select the top talents from each star field, and recruit them into the emperor's army to serve the new dynasty. Now that the emperor's son is about to compete for the position of the emperor, don't you think highly of my side, brother Cheng?"

Cheng Bai said truthfully, "The armaments that Prince Nie mentioned are far inferior to those of the Sun Chaser army. I'm afraid they can't resist a casual attack. You're powerless in the face of a powerful enemy, and you want to negotiate and claim the throne? Four days ago, I sent a letter to inform Prince that the Sun Chaser's god master has infiltrated the Slaughter Society and is trying to do something illegal. Do you have a good plan to deal with it?"

Nie Ziqiong's face changed slightly. He didn't know about this. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for reminding me. Tu Min will be calm now."

Cheng Bai carefully read the ambiguous meaning of the words and advised: "As far as I know, the Tumin Society is the foundation on which the prince relies on to dominate. If it is seized by the enemy or all are slaughtered, the loss will be great. It is better to deal with it with Min Longtou first. If we have the chance in the future, you and I can talk about big things again."

Nie Ziqiong immediately stood up and said, "Goodbye." Then he left with Min Wushuang.

Time passed quickly, and the practice of deduction progressed smoothly. The next day, Mo Ruyu arrived as expected, and brought an old acquaintance with him.

Cheng Bai was still receiving guests in the pavilion by the lotus pond.

Mo Ruyu said: "This evil swordsman Ge Chuwu is the guest from Shanhui City who came to Shengmin Gang to entrust that matter. He said he knows Brother Baidi."

Ge Chuwu said hurriedly: "I have received great favor from your majesty and now serve as the Privy Envoy to convey the imperial orders for the empress. With the help of the seeds of the Five Extremes Treasure Tree as a clue, I believe that Lord Lei... Lord Baidi is very insightful and will definitely be able to find me through this, and it turned out to be true."

Cheng Bai couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw the face of the Qiongqi Continental man again. He said, "You have been in the martial arts world and are experienced in doing things. You are a talent."

"It is my duty to serve Your Majesty and share the worries of Lord Baidi."

Ge Chuwu kept flattering him, and then said seriously, "It's just that the current situation is serious. As soon as Her Majesty arrived in Shanhui City, she was closely watched by many powerful forces. With the help of the Holy City's ability to suppress cultivation, she avoided fighting with the powerful when she was at a disadvantage. It is not convenient to leave Shanhui City for the time being, so I am busy running around."

After saying that, he glanced at Mo Ruyu and conveyed his meaning silently: "There are outsiders around, so it's not convenient to talk."

Mo Ruyu was smart and said goodbye when he saw the situation: "Brother Baidi, I have some important gang affairs to attend to. When you are free in the future, you are welcome to come to the sewer to give orders to our gang." Then he stood up and left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ge Chuwu said, "Li Haotian was arranged by Taowu Academy to be the protector of Her Majesty the Empress. At the same time, it was suggested that Her Majesty cultivate in the secret realm of the Star Palace to the state of freedom before she can leave Shanhui City and move freely."

Cheng Bai said with a sigh, "Can't I even take part in the imperial examination?"

Ge Chuwu said: "Li Haotian said that if you don't have enough cultivation to participate, you will bring disgrace upon yourself. Besides, the deadline for this exam is still thirty years. Instead of fighting against various geniuses in the secret realm designated by Taowu Academy and competing for resources, it is better to occupy a suitable secret realm to accumulate foundation and break through to a certain realm first."

This made sense, Cheng Bai asked, "Which secret place is she in?"

Ge Chue said: "There are many secret realms in the Star Palace, one of which is unique and is called the 'Eternal Holy City'. Li Haotian is guarding outside the Netherworld Road. Your Majesty led five generals into the Holy City Secret Realm. Twelve days have passed so far. Only this general and Chi Zhongming are responsible for external affairs."

The five generals refer to Yun Juan, Shen Ya and others. Every member of the small team is an elite and the lineup is impeccable.

Cheng Bai said: "In that case, we have to go into the Eternal Holy City to find her."

Ge Chu'e said: "Your Majesty means that you should go to meet him and walk side by side and work together."

Cheng Bai agreed, "Okay, let's set off immediately. Heilong, let's go."

The waves in the lotus pond parted, revealing a huge black dragon's head, which gave Ge Chu'e a big fright.

Heilong said: "My lord, I am always on standby."
