Chapter 185 War begins
Time flies, and it's time for autumn harvest again.
After the autumn harvest, the people who returned home began to relax. After a year of hard work, they had a lot of spare money on hand, so they began to look for cloth and delicacies.
Unlike the idle common people, the Qianyan Army at the border of Xumi began to enter a state of combat readiness.
It was just dawning.
Chiwangtai faces the direction of Baida Port. Ten large ships with iron-clad bottoms are already in place, and pack animals and the Qianyan Army are entering them in an orderly manner.
Huang Yu climbed up to look far into the distance, looking in the direction of Guili, letting the salty and wet sea breeze blow on his face: "At this time, the people of Guili should not have gotten up yet."
His eyes were gentle. "If you can sleep, sleep a little longer and get enough rest. Then do what you need to do. Don't worry about demons and monsters invading Guili. I and the soldiers of Qianyan Army are here for you."
"Reporting to the head coach, 10,000 steel beasts of burden, 20,000 thousand rock soldiers, and food and fresh water have all been boarded." Listening to the voice below, Huang Yu's eyes became sharp, "Set sail, attack!"
Following his order, ten ships lowered their sails. The wind element between heaven and earth seemed to sense the high fighting spirit and blew the sails with all its might, taking the large ships towards the location of Bayda Port.
It was estimated that it would take about half a month to reach Bayda Port. Huang Yu gave some simple instructions and returned to his room after daily training.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two figures, one sitting and one standing.
Huang Yu immediately drew the long sword from his waist, took a closer look, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately put away the sword and saluted: "Long live the Human King! Immortal Ganyu!"
These two people are Zhu Yuncheng and Gan Yu.
"Please stand up. It is a bit rude of the king and Ganyu to come here without notifying you." Zhu Yuncheng said with a faint smile.
Huang Yu put Zhu Yuncheng's words aside and asked, "Since the Human King Wansui is also going to go to war, why doesn't he show up in front of the Qianyan Army soldiers to boost their morale?"
Zhu Yuncheng looked at Huang Yu's notes on the table and said, "This battle is your battle of proof. If you succeed, no one will object to your ascending to the position of Kaiyang Star. If I come forward, won't all your credit go to me?"
Huang Yu was deeply moved after hearing this and knelt down directly: "Huang Yu must win to repay the kindness of the King of Man."
Zhu Yuncheng raised his hand, and Huang Yu felt that he was lifted up by an invisible force: "I am very satisfied that you have this intention. It's enough to win. Don't be too hard on yourself."
Huang Yu agreed, and when he looked up, Zhu Yuncheng and Gan Yu had disappeared.

At this moment, in Xumi City.
"There is movement in the Guili direction. Lanaro told me that at least 600,000 Qianyan troops have entered the Wuyu Chou Forest, along with various cannons, seven-element spears, precious jade weapons, and so on."
In the conference hall, the Great Compassionate Tree King frowned.
The Flower God sighed, "It's only been a year, and Guili has mobilized so many troops. It seems that the humans under Morax's rule are eager to fight. On the other hand, none of our people are willing to go to the battlefield."
In the past year, a wave of opposition to the war suddenly arose in Xumi. The general content was that too many people had died in Xumi in the past two years, and as a result, they still failed to capture Wu Yuchoulin, and instead lost to the enemy in Xiangzuipo. They, the humans of Xumi, were no match for the Guili humans, and they might as well rely on the demon gods.
This is not wrong. After all, the war is a war between demons, not a war between humans.
The Great Tree King and the Flower God were helpless in this regard.
The source of this news was none other than the member of Guili Shenbujue who had infiltrated Xumi as a refugee.
These members were all screened, they were smart, good at observing people's words and expressions, and they quickly got a position in Xumi. And the positions they got were not ordinary ones. For example, the grassroots aspects such as population census and education were their key targets.
It is precisely because of this that anti-war sentiment was able to spread widely in Xumi within just one year.
Back to the topic, in the conference hall, the Flower God asked: "Tree King, how many soldiers do we have now?"
"Two hundred and seventy thousand." The Great Ci Tree King smiled bitterly, "And Guili has eight hundred thousand. If they attack, our people will not be able to stop them at all."
"I'm here, we can stop it!" Suddenly a powerful voice rang out. The door of the conference hall was pushed open.
A shirtless man with dark purple lines on his bronze skin, waist-length dark purple hair and purple pupils walked in.
The Great Mercy Tree Queen looked at the man: "Are you, the Red King?" She was stunned. It had only been a year since they last met, but the Red King had changed so much. First, his iconic eagle head disappeared, and then he gained abnormally powerful strength.
"Forbidden knowledge, how much forbidden knowledge have you come into contact with, King Chi!" The Flower God was speechless.
"Not much, just soaked for a year." The Red King looked at his lover and smiled gently, "I just came back and heard you sighing here."
The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the Chi King in this state and frowned: "Chi King, are you okay?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, Tree King. I'm very powerful now. If I face Morax, I can defeat him!" The Red King said confidently, "That forbidden knowledge may seem evil, but it's actually a force from outside the world, just like the elemental power of our Teyvat continent. It will be just like that after you come into contact with it. You can also come into contact with it, how about it?"
The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head: "Forget it."
The Flower God also shook his head. Seeing this, the Red King was a little disappointed: "Okay, if you want to contact me in the future, you can tell me. Now we should discuss the battle. How many soldiers do we have in Xumi now?"
"Two hundred and seventy thousand."
"Two hundred and seventy thousand, so few. We have a total population of thirty million in Xumi, but only a few are willing to serve in the army. Humph, I will issue an order now, requiring every household in Xumi to have at least one able-bodied man serve in the army!"
The Great Compassion Tree King was very anxious: "This won't work."
"What's wrong, Tree King? It's time to stop caring about those humans. If we are killed, even if those humans don't die, they will be treated as slaves by Guili and work until they die!" The Red King said coldly, "That's it, leave it to me. If you and the Flower God don't want to see it, go back to Waliwejie!"
After saying that, King Chi turned and left.
The Flower God and the Great Compassionate Tree King looked at each other and saw worry in their eyes.
After not seeing him for a year, the Red King's temper has become extremely violent, and he no longer loves his people as much as before. He seems to treat humans as his subordinates.

"Interesting, the Red King is back too." Inside a ship on the sea, Zhu Yuncheng looked at the secret letter that Shen Bujue sent to the Human King Guard and Hua Hua sent to Zhu Yuncheng, and the corners of his mouth rose. "It seems that the Red King has been blinded by the forbidden knowledge and has become extremely irritable, Hua Hua."
Huahua stepped forward: "Human King."
"Tell the Shenbujue members lurking in Xumi to use their positions to conceal as many people as they can. Remember to make them grateful, okay?"
Huahua nodded: "Yes."
As Huahua retreated, Zhu Yuncheng looked towards Xumi with sarcasm in his eyes: "Great Compassion Tree King, do you still think Xumi is your Xumi?"
Gan Yu looked at Zhu Yuncheng's desk, where a string of numbers was written.
The total population of Xumi is 31,021,302 acres of farmland, 270,027 soldiers, and a list of the six schools of sages and their top leaders............
