Chapter 173: Daqian Assembly Order! Gather the Barracks Again

…

These Zifu Realm monks were just the vanguard of various families and clans who came to support the scene, and the Tianren Realm and Lingtai Realm who were dispatched later also arrived one after another.

As people gathered, the county government officials in charge of registration and the Changchun Valley disciples were suddenly busy.

It took a whole day to register all the applicants.

In this recruitment, Chang Ningwei alone recruited thirteen monks in the Purple Mansion Realm, one hundred and twenty-nine monks in the Tianren Realm, and a total of 3,251 monks in the Lingtai Realm.

After that, the applicants from the other five acropolises in [Changning County] also arrived within the time limit.

The five surrounding guards are of course far inferior to the Changning Guards. However, relying on the Changning Guards over the years, they have also enjoyed a lot of huge dividends brought by economic growth, and they can easily buy low-price pills sold by the Wang family. Therefore, the quality of the recruitment of these five guards is relatively low. It is many orders of magnitude higher than the average level of the entire Daqian.

Together, the five guards including Baidao Guard and Donghai Guard have recruited 11 monks in the Purple Mansion Realm, 103 monks in the Tianren Realm, and more than 2,000 monks in the Lingtai Realm.

Including the monks from Changning Guard who came to apply, there are a total of twenty-four monks in the Purple Mansion Realm, 232 monks in the Tianren Realm, and more than 5,000 monks in the Lingtai Realm.

This is still an ordinary level of war mobilization. The manpower dispatched by the major families is only one-tenth. If we encounter such a "big crisis of annihilation of the country and the annihilation of the tribe", the number of soldiers that can be mobilized can be greatly increased.

What a terrifying war potential this is?

The only thing lacking in the entire Changning County is probably the magical power realm monks.

But there is nothing we can do about it. If you want to cultivate to the realm of supernatural powers, you not only need to accumulate massive resources, but also need to accumulate time. If the current development trend of Nan Liuwei continues, it will naturally be a different situation in a few hundred years.

With the recruitment completed, all the recruited [mobilized soldiers] were brought to the square behind the county governor's house in an orderly manner.

Here, a Wang's "second-hand small cloud ray flying boat" and a cloud ray flying boat rented from Yao's air transport were already waiting.

Soon, the flying boats filled with "mobilized troops" took off, broke through the clouds, and headed directly to the training point in the Holy Land.

This kind of soldiers recruited from aristocratic families cannot go directly to the battlefield, and must undergo a certain period of training and adaptation.

After all, battlefield war and small-scale armed fighting are completely different things. And the demons outside the territory are extremely cruel. If they go to the battlefield without systematic training, they will die.

This scene in Changning County is a "microcosm" of Daqian Kingdom.

With the mobilization of the whole country, one team after another continued to set off from various places and converged from all directions to the Lingyun Holy Land training camp.

Today's Daqian is no longer what it used to be, and its comprehensive national strength is increasing day by day. Although the number of troops mobilized by various counties is far less than that of Changning County, it is not comparable to that of two hundred years ago.

The exaggerated number of soldiers recruited by Changning County naturally caused another sensation after arriving at the Holy Land training camp.

This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.

At the same time that the Holy Land and Daqian Government began to train the mobilization soldiers from all over the country.

More than 10,000 miles southeast of Ping'an Town, among the "remains" of the Shenwu recruit training camp.

The Changning Wang's Militia Regiment, which has finished its rest, is undergoing intense and fierce final training here.

After Wang Shouzhe and others passed through this recruit training camp for the first time, it was not sealed, but was effectively used and developed into Wang's secret base.

The same goes for the original recruitment points discovered.

Generation after generation of young people from the Wang family, when they reach the appropriate cultivation level and age, will enter the recruit training camp for training and assessment.

After the Wang Militia was established, this place directly became the training base for the Wang Militia.

"Sister No. 5."

Wang Anye, who has returned from the Immortal Dynasty, has also secretly entered the [Shenwu Army No. 5 Recruit Training Camp].

While watching the two deputy captains Lu Xiaoxiao and Wang Anxin train their troops, he talked to Qi Ling and said: "Soon, we will go to kill foreign monsters. Can we issue a regular war mission?"

"Xiao Anye, it stands to reason that in our team, either some graduates will serve as instructors, or they are just some elite militiamen, among which the number of regular recruits is only more than 10%." The No. 5 weapon spirit was a little confused, "I will start training for you. model, it is already considered a violation.”

Wang Anye has had a good relationship with the No. 5 weapon spirit since he was a child. When he was a little older, the No. 5 weapon spirit took care of him and worked on the questions together. It can almost be said that he watched him grow up.

"Sister No. 5, in fact, you have already understood that the world outside has changed." Wang Anye sighed.

The No. 5 weapon spirit remained silent.

"I know sister, you have been unwilling to accept this." Wang Anye said, "But no matter what, our human race's determination to resist foreign demons has not changed. It is not easy for us to organize this militia group now."

After a long time, the No. 5 Weapon Spirit sighed faintly: "Xiao Anye, what do you want me to do? You have to understand that I am just a Weapon Spirit with too many restrictions. If it goes too far, I can't convince myself. If so, the self-destruction process will be initiated.”

Wang Anye perked up and said, "Don't worry, sister No. 5. I just want to activate the emergency mode after defeat since the situation has changed. For example, we can incorporate all our militia groups into the recruit training camp." .”

"I understand what you mean." The No. 5 weapon spirit said, "According to the war regulations, in times of crisis, our recruit training camp does have the right to recruit militia teams and train and cultivate them to deal with bad situations. "

"It's okay to be included in the regular establishment, but it can only be given the designation of militia reserve. Is this acceptable?" said the No. 5 weapon spirit.

"As militia reserves, if we perform meritorious service, will we also be rewarded with resources?" Wang Anye is very concerned about this point.

"Now that there are no regular troops in the new barracks, the militia reserves will naturally have to go to the battlefield." Qi Ling No. 5 said, "The militia badges can also record meritorious deeds and receive corresponding rewards. Xiao Anye, since your war group calls itself [Changning] Wang's Militia Regiment], then continue to use this number. Just wait a moment and I will incorporate the number into the system."

"Thank you sister No. 5." Wang Anye breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that the militia regiment was officially incorporated into the Shenwu army system.

Even though the Shenwu Dynasty has long since perished, there are actually ruins left everywhere. In this No. 5 recruit training camp alone, there are still many basic resources that have not been collected.

Not to mention that the Shenwu Army also has a general warehouse. There are even fairy plant seeds and fairy beast eggs. God knows how many other things are hidden inside.

With a formal establishment, if we encounter similar Shenwu relics again, we will be able to deal with them seriously.

Even if they have already been picked up once, they can try to pick them up again. After all, they have a regular reserve force of the Shenwu Army.

"Xiao Anye, in accordance with the war regulations, on behalf of the No. 5 Recruit Training Camp of the Shenwu Army, I now grant you, this outstanding graduate of the new camp, the title of 'Exceptionally Temporarily Promoted Officer in Wartime', and you can command the [Changning Wang's Militia Regiment]." Five. Hao Qi Ling said solemnly, "However, if you have time, you must go to the Officer Training Academy as soon as possible and obtain the official qualification as an officer of the Shenwu Army, so that you can be legitimate."

"Yes, Sister No. 5, we will find the academy as soon as possible." Wang Anye accepted happily.

However, he understood that his great-grandfather cared more about the [Officer Training Academy] than Sister No. 5. During these years of overseas exploration, he had actually been searching and investigating the true location of the Officer Training Academy.

However, the long time and the last battle have caused huge changes in the geographical environment of this world. The continents and oceans have long been beyond recognition, and it is normal to not be able to find them for a while.

However, as more and more suspicious locations are eliminated, the truth always gets closer and closer.

"Captain Wang." No. 5 Weapon Spirit's name for Wang Anye changed, and her voice was stern. "Based on the current situation, you proposed a military plan to proactively attack the outside of the boundary gap. According to the war regulations, I , make a judgment based on the actual situation and allow you to carry out this war operation. According to your plan, this operation will be named 'Operation Spring Thunder' and recorded in the system."

"This is a battle group-level record token." The No. 5 weapon spirit gave Wang Anye a battle group order. "It will automatically record all the meritorious deeds of your Changning Wang's Militia Regiment in the war. After the war operation is over, you can Come to me to redeem your rewards.”

The battle group order was no bigger than a palm, and its appearance was made to look like the emblem of the Shenwu Army. Judging from the texture, it seemed to be made of dark iron, which was similar to the material of the military badge. It was quite inconspicuous.

However, since the battle order can automatically record meritorious deeds, it is obviously not that simple.

Wang Anye quickly and carefully finished the work, feeling very happy. He waited and waited, waiting for Sister Qi Ling's last words.

Grandpa Grandpa planned this [Operation Spring Thunder] for a long time. He secretly held countless meetings with Holy Master Jiang, Grandpa Emperor, and Di Zi'an to finalize countless details.

Now that the situation outside the region is getting increasingly tense, this battle must be fought.

But if we can "reward" a resource from the boot camp, that would be the best of both worlds.

This is not because Wang Anye has a bad heart, but the resources in these Shenwu ruins have been "lying still", which is really a waste.

Putting away the battle group order that was still a "black technology" so far, Wang Anye said solemnly: "Sister No. 5, don't worry, I will not disappoint your expectations."

"I believe you." The No. 5 weapon spirit's tone became gentle.

…

It was during the time when Operation Spring Thunder was in full swing.

Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty, Demon Palace, Haotian Palace.

The lighting in the hall is not good, so the gorgeous fire crystal chandelier in the hall is always on, illuminating the entire inner hall.

The low table in the center of the Arhat's couch had a simple little tea stove at some point. At this moment, tea was boiling on the stove.

The rich aroma of tea fills the hall, and the mellow fairy spirit makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The Red Prison Demon Emperor, who was dressed in black robes, sat on the Arhat couch. Seeing that the fire was almost done, he carefully poured out a cup, blew on it, and drank it in one gulp.

In an instant, the rich aroma of tea filled his mouth, and wisps of rich and vital fairy spirit blended into his body, making his mind clear and his whole person becoming elated.

"Huh~"

After a while, the Red Prison Demon Emperor let out a sigh of relief, looked at the tea cup in his hand and said with emotion: "Good tea!"

"I don't know where that little girl Wang Ruobing got it from, but the Enlightenment Tea and Yuegui Dao Tea that I got from that stinky old woman Sun Tiange are not any worse than the Emperor's original ones. Although they are slightly less honest. , but in terms of taste alone, it is even better, and it seems to have some benefits for the hidden wounds in the body."

He muttered as he drank, and the look on his face was one of rare relaxation and contentment.

Of course, there are high-level spiritual plants in the Demon Dynasty. For example, the Shentu Royal Family cultivates a clan-suppressing spiritual tree at the peak of the twelfth level [Lihuo Dao Tree]. This is a pure fire-type Dao spiritual plant. , which is partially compatible with the bloodline of the Shentu clan, but also partially incompatible.

On the other side of the True Demon Palace, there is a Netherworld Tree, which is an exotic demon plant.

The Demon King couldn't drink the Nether Demon Tea, and he was tired of drinking Lihuo Tea. Instead, he was very interested in the Immortal Dynasty's Enlightenment Tea.

Xuanwu monks who practice magic skills, especially those at the level of the Demon Emperor, also need to balance Yin and Yang and stabilize their mind. Therefore, in the Mo Dynasty, the same level of Taoist tea from the Immortal Dynasty is much rarer than Taoist tea from the Mo Dynasty.

Even if he is the Demon King, he can't drink it all the time.

The Tao tea he drank was either obtained from Immortal Emperor Mu Yun and Immortal Lord Ling Xuan with resources, or someone bought it from the black market of Tianji Continent with great effort. Every bit of it was precious.

As a result, while he was drinking, a chamberlain suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Third Highness wishes to see you."

"not see."

The Red Prison Demon Emperor decisively refused.

That kid must have been unable to complete the task and came to him crying.

However, the chamberlain outside the door did not leave as he expected, but continued: "Your Majesty, the Third Highness said that he has completed the task you assigned him. I am here to reply."

What? So fast?

The Demon Emperor was stunned and immediately sat upright: "Xiang him to come in."

At the same time, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Could this kid be deliberately lying to fool him just to see him? It's not like that kid has never done this kind of thing before.

"Ancestor."

In just a moment, the third prince Shentu Jingming also entered the inner hall under the leadership of the chamberlain, and bowed to the Red Prison Demon Emperor in a serious manner.

"Ancestor, are you drinking the fairy tea I gave you?" Smelling the fragrance of tea in the air, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stared straight at the tea stove on the short table and swallowed with a gulp. Saliva, "Does it taste good?"

"Xiancha" is just a complimentary title, just like calling someone "beautiful and handsome guy". When low-grade families encounter some good spiritual tea, they will call it fairy tea.

However, at the level of Demon Emperor and Immortal Emperor, only "Dao Cha" can call him "Immortal Tea". However, the real "immortal tea" will not appear until Wang Lixian reaches the thirteenth level.

The Red Prison Demon Emperor moved the tea cup away in disgust: "Why are you so greedy for the fairy tea you gave me as a gift to me, as if you have never drunk it?"

He was also depressed in his heart. He didn't understand why every time he had something good, this kid would come over smelling it?

You know, in order to enjoy the fairy tea all to himself, he even found an excuse to send the teacher out. He didn't know what happened to this kid, but he was able to just step on it.

"Ancestor, you must be reasonable." The third prince looked aggrieved. "If the goddess Ruo Bing gave me a little bit, I would use all of it to honor you. I haven't tasted it myself~"

"I believe you are the only one who is evil." The Red Prison Demon Emperor looked unbelieving, "When did you not say that? But what was the result? How often did you not keep the big head in your own hands, even if you were willing to give me as little as this emperor?"

"But this time is different~" The third prince said plausibly, "This is fairy tea, how rare it is. She only has one or two in her hands. If it weren't for the fact that I took her to explore the ruins, she would probably You may not be willing to part with me even for this little bit.”

The Red Prison Demon King looked suspicious: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. It's more real than real gold!" The third prince swore, and then stared at the tea stove in front of the Red Prison Demon Emperor with a shy face, salivating, "I got it after all, so you can share it with me. ~”

"...Okay, just half a cup, no more."

The Red Prison Demon King hesitated again and again, but finally endured his heartache and poured him half a cup of fairy tea.

Although this kid always talks nonsense and cannot be believed, he is right about one thing. Immortal tea is a rare thing, so he kept some in his hand, but probably not much, and he might not be willing to drink it.

That’s all~ It’s your child after all. If he’s so greedy, just give him some~

"Ancestor, I know that you love me the most." The third prince Shentu Jingming was overjoyed. He immediately drank the fairy tea happily, and the good words kept coming out of his mouth as if he didn't need money.

"Okay, don't do this with me." The Scarlet Prison Demon Emperor waved his hands speechlessly, "Tell me, how did you solve the matter at [Huarong Island]. If I let the emperor find out that you fooled Don't blame me for punishing you."

The third prince nodded and said while drinking tea: "Actually, the matter on Huarong Island is not difficult to solve."

Not difficult to solve?

The Red Prison Demon King looked sideways.

You Country and Qi Country have been at war for thousands of years over this island. How could it be so easy to resolve?

"I thought about it after I went back and found that the reason why Huarong Island caused disputes had nothing to do with the products on the island. It was mainly due to its geographical location." The third prince analyzed, "That island happens to be at the junction of the territorial waters of the two countries. , it is also a maritime hub. Merchant ships carrying out maritime trade must pass through Huarong Island, and the road tax alone is a huge sum of money every year."

"Moreover, the island's special geographical location also makes it a tool for both sides to control the other side. Whichever country owns Huarong Island has an advantage at sea."

The serious investigation into the disputes over the ownership of Huarong Island has to be traced back to the last war between immortals and demons.

At that time, the two dynasties of immortals and demons were at war, and the seven kingdoms of You, Qi, Xuan, Chen, Chu, Song, and Wu on the [Xuanzhen Continent] were naturally at war.

Huarong Island originally belonged to the Qi Kingdom of the Demon Dynasty camp, but during the long process of the immortal-devil war, it was successively occupied by the Chen Kingdom of the Immortal Dynasty camp, the Xuan Kingdom of the Demon Dynasty camp, and the Song Kingdom of the Immortal Dynasty camp, until When the war between immortals and demons was about to end, it was occupied by the You Kingdom of the Demon Dynasty camp.

With the end of the war between immortals and demons, no large-scale war broke out between the several countries, and the territory of the country was naturally basically fixed.

After the war, Qi State naturally wanted to take back Huarong Island and wrote to the Demon Dynasty several times, but You State was naturally not happy, and friction naturally arose between the two sides.

There are also good reasons for Youguo not to return Huarong Island.

Because civil strife broke out in Qi during the Immortal and Demon War, the original emperor's son was captured during the war, and was imprisoned by the country of the Immortal Dynasty camp along with the book. He did not return until the end of the Immortal and Demon War.

The original royal family of Qi State lost its treasures and heirs, so it naturally weakened. The person who later succeeded the emperor of Qi State was not the original royal family at all, but another king of Qi State.

The royal family has changed, and You Guo will naturally not recognize the current Qi State's ownership of Huarong Island.

All in all, this is a mess, and everyone is right.

After the third prince Shentu Jingming understood the situation clearly, he thought about it for a while and then directly went to Huarong Island with two Lingxu Realm ancestors who were from the same royal family.

After hearing the news of his arrival on Huarong Island, the two great emperors of You and Qi naturally rushed to Huarong Island after hearing the news.

No matter how unreliable the third prince's reputation was outside, he came to mediate on behalf of the Demon Emperor after all, so the two emperors would naturally not deny him face. However, if you give face to face, the two sides should quarrel or quarrel.

When it comes to the interests of their own countries, the two emperors are unyielding. Their quarrels are more exaggerated than shrews' scoldings, and they are short of full-scale martial arts. Even if the third prince Shentu Jingming sits next to them, it will not work.

The third prince Shentu Jingming only listened for half an hour before he began to feel a headache.

Shentu Jingming was very eloquent. He described a simple process with ups and downs and vividly. The Red Prison Demon Emperor listened with rapt attention and subconsciously asked: "What happened next? How did you deal with it?"

"I just told them..." The third prince cleared his throat and repeated what he said at that time, "You two countries have been quarreling for so many years over the matter of Huarong Island, which has seriously affected the unity within our dynasty. If this continues, it may trigger an internal war. Therefore, I, the prince, have thought over and over again and are prepared to resolve this issue once and for all."

Once and for all?

The Red Prison Demon King looked at him sideways, but heard him continue: "As long as Huarong Island is gone, the problem will naturally disappear. So I asked two elders in the clan to ask them to use Lingxu's power to conquer Huarong Island is removed from the Mo Dynasty. Anyway, regardless of whether Huarong Island belongs to You Kingdom or Qi Kingdom, it belongs to the Mo Dynasty camp."

"After my prince said these words, the faces of the two great emperors turned green. They quickly advised me to think twice and expressed their willingness to take a step back and discuss a solution."

Good guy! Is this Huarong Island that solves the problem that caused it if it can't solve the problem? !

The Red Prison Demon King's mouth twitched as he heard this.

But I have to say that although this move is a little off-the-wall, it is indeed useful.

He has been mediating conflicts between many countries for many years. He has a good understanding of the psychology of the emperors of these vassal countries, and naturally understands why they have changed like this. In the final analysis, it still comes down to the word "profit".

The reason for the quarrel before was for profit, but now they are willing to take a step back, also for profit.

After all, if the quarrel continues, the island will be gone. If we talk carefully, we can still keep the island. Everyone knows what to choose.

However, in this matter, only Shen Tu Jingming can achieve this effect.

After all, no one inside or outside the Demonic Dynasty knew that this kid was a gangster who dared to do anything shocking. Since this kid dares to say this, he can definitely do what he says.

Even if he really does this, he will inevitably be punished by the Demon Emperor, but if the island is gone, then it is really gone. Neither the Emperor of Qi nor the Emperor of You dared to challenge this.

As for the Huarong Island matter, as long as both countries are willing to make concessions, it will actually be relatively easy to negotiate.

The Red Prison Demon Emperor did not inquire into the rest of the matter in detail, and only asked the third prince Shentu Jingming to go back and summarize the details and write a formal report and submit it.

"I have already written the memorial. Ancestor, please read it over." Shentu Jingming was waiting for his words, and immediately took out a memorial from the storage ring and handed it over.

Speaking of which, this matter was inspired by Green Devil Island.

If he hadn't heard that Wang Zhemei's fellow had directly uprooted the Green Devil Island and taken it away, he wouldn't have thought of the idea of ​​moving the island to drain the firepower.

After all, this idea is something that most people would never think of.

"Your Majesty, ancestor, look...have I completed my mission?" The third prince, Shentu Jingming, looked at the Red Prison Demon Emperor eagerly.

"It's not bad~ You passed the first level." The Scarlet Prison Demon King reluctantly nodded.

It's a bit wild, but it works.

As the leader of the Demon Dynasty, he is not a pedantic person. Or to be more precise, when it comes to flexibility, no one knows better than him.

This guy was able to calm down the war between the two countries in such a short period of time. This is his ability.

Although this ability alone is not enough to manage such a huge demon dynasty, at least he has the qualifications to enter.

"Then... [Crimson Immortal Lotus]..." Third Prince Shentu Jingming rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Scarlet Prison Demon Emperor rolled his eyes at him, "If [Crimson Immortal Lotus] is given to you so easily, is it worthy of its name [Immortal Lotus]? I want to take it To get it, you have to go through at least five levels and kill six generals. What's more, the red fairy lotus is so overbearing that I must personally protect you to help you digest the power of the medicine. Even if I give it to you now, you still need to use it now. No."

As he was talking, a chamberlain suddenly came to the door and reported: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness is here."

"Brother Second Emperor? Isn't he in charge of the research and development of a new type of armor? What are you doing here?" Third Prince Shentu Jingming wondered.

"I recruited him." The Scarlet Prison Demon King said casually, "Invite him to come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The waiter immediately went down.

When Shentu Jingming saw this, he also moved his butt, moving from opposite the Red Prison Demon Emperor to standing beside him with his hands hanging down, automatically disguising himself as a background board.

Soon, an imposing young man walked into the inner hall of Haotian Palace under the guidance of the chamberlain.

This young man was wearing a dark red splendid robe, with an air of high spirits between his brows and eyes, and his temperament was slightly calmer than that of Shentu Jingming.

He is naturally the second prince Shen Tu Kaixuan.

"How is the research and development of the new armor? Is there any progress?" After he saw the ceremony, the Red Prison Demon Emperor asked straight to the point about the research and development status.

"this……"

Shentu Kaixuan stood at the foot of the steps with his hands down, his expression tense.

Although he had vaguely guessed what the Demon King wanted to ask before coming, he was still stressed out when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's ancestor, the Magic Weapons Department has been working hard for the past six months. All the weapon refiners have worked hard and never slacked off. However, the development of new armor involves too much, so currently, there is no progress. .”

"If there is no progress, there will be no progress. Why waste so much talk?" The Red Prison Demon Emperor was a little impatient.

Try your best? What's the use of trying your best? If he makes progress!

"Ancestor, calm down." Shentu Kaixuan was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Calm down?"

The Red Prison Demon King snorted.

Recalling the intelligence he had received before, he felt depressed, and his tone became even more angry: "The Xian Dynasty has developed a new type of armor and has even put it into mass production. The first batch of products has already followed Sui. Girl Yun went to conduct actual combat trials outside the territory, but you didn’t make any progress at all, how do you ask me to appease my anger?”

It is very obvious that the Mo Dynasty also has its own intelligence system, especially the spy who keeps an eye on Princess Suiyun.

"With your ability to do things, let alone Wang Fugui, you are not even as good as your third brother."

"Look at your third brother..." said the Red Prison Demon Emperor, pulling the third prince beside him. "He usually looks unattractive, but he only spent more than two days on the task assigned to him by this emperor. The month has been completed, and even the folding papers have been sorted and handed over. What about you? Have you spent all your time on dogs?!"

The third prince Shentu Jingming was embarrassed for a while.

Why does this involve yourself?

Only then did the second prince Shentu Kaixuan notice that the third prince Shentu Jingming was also present and watched the scene of him being scolded. His face suddenly turned green and white, which was extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, ancestor, you believe me, give me a little more time..." He said bravely, then gritted his teeth and directly issued a military order, "Give me another year. Within one year, I will definitely give you A satisfactory answer. If there is still no progress in the research and development of the new armor by then, I will resign as the head of the Magic Arms Department and let you punish me."

The Red Prison Demon Emperor glanced at him, and after hearing what he said so surely, he softened his expression, nodded and said: "Okay. Since you have issued a military order, I will give you a chance. One year later, I will Let’s look at your results.”

As he said that, he waved his hand: "I am exhausted, you all should step aside."

"Yes, ancestor."

The second prince Shentu Kaixuan and the third prince Shentu Jingming immediately resigned and then left the Demon Palace together under the guidance of the chamberlain.

Along the way, the two of them naturally greeted each other with courtesy and compliments. On the surface, they were in harmony and looked like they were good brothers.

After leaving the gate of the Demon Palace and getting on the chariot returning to the prince's mansion, the face of the second prince Shentu Kaixuan instantly darkened.

"Your Highness, please relax. Being scolded by His Majesty is nothing. He will never really punish you harshly. At most, it will only be a fine or a scolding." Huyan Tinghe has been flying in the chariot. Waiting for the news, seeing his appearance, she comforted him with kind words, "Now among the three princes, the eldest prince is incompetent and the third prince is out of control. You are the most suitable successor after all."

He is a direct descendant of the second prince Shentu Kaixuan's maternal clan, the Huyan clan. According to his seniority, he can be regarded as Shentu Kaixuan's cousin.

When he was in his twenties, he was sent to Shentu Kaixuan and almost grew up with him. He had a close relationship with him and was a true confidant. Naturally, he spoke more casually than others.

"Shentu Yuanzheng is indeed incompetent, but that boy Shentu Jingming..." The third prince Shentu Kaixuan sneered, "He is very capable. Look, he has fooled us all!"

"What's going on?" Huyan Tinghe was confused.

The second prince told what happened in Haotian Palace before.

"So, the third prince really succeeded in mediating the conflict between You and Qi?" After Huyan Tinghe figured out what happened, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Naturally, he had heard of the fact that the third prince was sent by the Demon Emperor to mediate the dispute between You and Qi. But at that time, he thought that the Demon Emperor just wanted to find a reason to punish the third prince. After all, everyone knows that the conflict between You and Qi is a dead end, and it is useless for anyone to mediate.

Who would have thought that in just a few months, the third prince would have completed the mediation, and the mediation was so beautiful that even the Demon Emperor would praise him for the first time?

Not to mention that the Second Prince Shentu Kaixuan would not have thought of this matter, even he found it unbelievable.

It can only be said that the third prince hid his secrets too deeply.

"In the past, if I didn't do things well, I would be ineffective, and I would have my elder brothers supporting me. But now, if there are no results on my side, my ancestors will probably focus on Shentu Jingming. What if I really let him down? He has become the heir to the throne, and all my efforts over the years have been in vain." The second prince's expression was quite ugly.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. I can't help with the research and development of new armor, but I have other gains." Huyan Tinghe said with a mysterious smile, took out two large wooden boxes from the storage ring and pushed them away. Arriving in front of Shentu Kaixuan, he said, "These are two sets of new armors that I sent people to get from the Immortal Dynasty. They were delivered to you just now after you entered the Demon Palace. If their technology can be cracked, our new armors will naturally be available." looks."

"Very good!"

The second prince's eyes brightened, and the original cloud on his face was instantly swept away.

He patted Huyan Tinghe on the shoulder: "Tinghe, you are indeed the most reliable. When the new armor is developed, I will mark your first achievement!"

For a time, both the monarch and his ministers were filled with joy, as if they had seen a bright future.

It's a pity that they have no idea what kind of opponent they have encountered.

Want to copycat?

How could Wang Ningxi, who had been involved in intellectual property rights since childhood, leave them this opportunity?

…
