Chapter 183 The Combined Fleet Strikes, Your King of Hell Has Arrived!
The old general drew a line on the map, and the originally clear map instantly became densely covered, with countless red arrows pointing to the western mountains from all directions.
"According to the last photos transmitted back by the satellite, all the surviving forces in the eastern, northern, and southern parts of the Dragon Kingdom that are still mobile are fleeing westward."
"This doesn't even include the local survivors in the West, or the reclusive families and ancient martial arts sects that have been entrenched in the deep mountains from the very beginning."
The old general pointed to the dense red dots, his tone as solemn as if he were reading a verdict.
"The western mountains now are like a giant breeding ground for poisonous insects."
"Mountains are limited, and auspicious places with abundant spiritual energy are even rarer. Tens of millions of people are crammed into those mountains, where there is no law, no morality, only the naked law of the jungle."
"Bloodshed occurs daily over a cave or a spring of spiritual water; it's more chaotic there than the deep sea! It's a true battlefield!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes lit up even more.
乱？
Chaos is good!
Turbulent times breed heroes; only in chaos can a new order be established as quickly as possible and the most resources be harvested.
If he develops peacefully, when will he be able to gather enough resources to upgrade to level 8?
"Raising Gu..." Lu Sheng licked his lips, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. "I love raising Gu the most, because the Gu king that survives to the end is usually the fattest."
The old general gave Lu Sheng a strange look and continued, "Moreover, besides the internal strife among humans, don't forget the approaching Abyss Corpse King."
"Its army is already on its way. If we cannot seize a stronghold that is easy to defend and rich in spiritual energy before it arrives, and establish an absolute defense..."
"At that time, we will face internal and external troubles, and a dead end."
The old general turned around, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Sheng: "Therefore, young friend Lu, we must join forces. Our two families must unite our troops, one attacking and the other defending, and seize this most prestigious mountain with swift and decisive action!"
"What did the old general fancy?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.
The old general didn't speak, but simply zoomed in on the map and pointed to a towering, snow-capped mountain on the Sichuan-Western Plateau.
The area around that mountain peak was so rich in spiritual energy that it appeared purplish-gold, clearly indicating that it was a top-tier blessed land of spiritual energy.
However, the area was also marked with several red skull symbols, indicating that it had been occupied by several powerful forces.
"Here," the old general said in a deep voice, "the King of Sichuan Mountains—Mount Gongga!"
"At an altitude of 7556 meters, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most importantly, there is a newly revitalized large spiritual energy vein there! Enough to support the cultivation needs of a million people and several level 9 experts!"
"But too many people are eyeing this piece of meat. As far as I know, at least five large forces with level 8 experts are confronting each other at the foot of the mountain."
The old general looked at Lu Sheng, a hint of testing in his eyes: "Do you dare?"
Five level 8 factions?
As Lu Sheng gazed at the towering snow-capped mountain, an image of himself standing atop it, overlooking all living beings, flashed through his mind.
He smiled.
He laughed wildly.
"If we're going to fight for something, we should fight for the best."
Lu Sheng slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Mount Gongga, and said in an unquestionable tone.
"That's it."
Lu Sheng turned around and strode towards the door, his black coat fluttering behind him.
"General, let's prepare the troops and set off."
"Whether it's those self-proclaimed mountain kings or that so-called Abyss Corpse King..."
"Anyone who dares to reach out will have their claws chopped off."
"Anyone who dares to block the way will have their head ripped off."
The alloy door slid open with a loud crash.
Outside the door, in the rest area.
Zhou Hai paced back and forth like an agitated black bear, crushing the apple core in his hand into a pulp.
Qin Yue and Lin Hu also had their hands on their weapons, their eyes fixed on the door, the veins on their necks throbbing.
The guards around them were sweating profusely from the murderous aura emanating from this group of people, and their guns were almost unsteady on their feet.
"They're out!"
Su Li, with her sharp eyes, called out immediately.
Everyone turned around in unison.
Lu Sheng walked out with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed expression. He wasn't followed by any escorting soldiers; instead…
"Major Lu, please wait!"
The previously arrogant staff officer, Wang Gang, was now following behind Lu Sheng with a beaming smile, his back bent like a shrimp, his tone so respectful it gave one goosebumps.
"Please forgive my earlier offense. The teacher has given the order that from now on, the Blazing Flame Fleet and the Sea-Suppressing Fleet are all-weather strategic partners. Your order is equivalent to the teacher's order!"
As Staff Officer Wang spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The dragon's might that had just erupted in the conference room had given him a shiver that ran through his very soul.
Even the strongest level 7 Spirit Source user, Bald Tiger, was forced to his knees. This guy is a true god!
"Hmm," Lu Sheng responded indifferently, without stopping.
"Lu boy! Are you alright?" Zhou Hai rushed over and checked Lu Sheng over from head to toe, only letting out a sigh of relief after confirming he wasn't missing any limbs. "Those old guys didn't give you a hard time, did they? If the negotiations fell apart, we'd leave now, or we could just go somewhere else and do it on our own!"
Lu Sheng slapped Zhou Hai's large hand away.
"What broke down in negotiations?"
He smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yue, Lin Hu, Zhang Yi, and the others.
"Pass the order: assemble the troops and weigh anchor."
Lu Sheng pointed to the continuous mountain range in the west that was hidden in the clouds, his eyes gleaming with golden light.
"Let's seize a mountain and become kings."
……
Half an hour later.
With a deafening blast of the ship's horn, the two vastly different fleets officially merged.
The Zhenhai aircraft carrier is positioned in the center, with four destroyers guarding the four corners, demonstrating the strict and iron discipline of a regular army.
Behind the fleet, a spectacle that would leave even deep-sea monsters utterly bewildered unfolded once more—
The Titan whale, a hundred meters long, with several special steel cables as thick as a wrist attached to its body, was vigorously spouting water jets, dragging the long wooden raft dragon that stretched for several kilometers, closely following behind the aircraft carrier.
On the deck of the Zhenhai, countless naval soldiers leaned on the railings, gazing at the giant whale with awe.
"Wow, that's Major Lu's car? It's damn cool!"
"I heard that Major Lu single-handedly subdued the leader of the naval special forces in the conference room? Is that true?"
"Nonsense! Didn't you see how Staff Officer Wang is treating them? Like a grandson!"
As the refugees looked at the majestic aircraft carrier ahead, an unprecedented sense of security welled up in their hearts.
With a regular army's aircraft carrier leading the way and a killing god like Lu Sheng in charge, what obstacle can't be overcome?
however.
Reality is often crueler than we imagine.
Five days later.
After the fleet encountered numerous sea monsters of varying sizes, it finally reached the edge of the Sichuan-Western Plateau.
What should have been a scenic area of Ya'an is now mostly submerged by the rising sea, with only isolated mountain peaks visible.
And right there on the only road leading to Mount Gongga—the Tianquan Water Area.
A massive, haphazard fleet of ships lay across the sea, completely blocking their path.
It is a waterborne Great Wall composed of hundreds of converted fishing boats, cargo ships, and even floating platforms.
Each boat was adorned with a flag bearing a black skull and crossbones, and heavy machine guns and homemade cannons were mounted on the bow. Countless strangely dressed, heavily tattooed armed thugs stood on the boats, whistling and giving the middle finger in this direction.
And on the top deck of a luxury cruise ship at the very center.
A one-eyed giant, shirtless, with muscles bulging like iron blocks, sat on a tiger-skin chair, toying with two human skulls in his hand, his single eye gleaming with a bloodthirsty ferocity.
"I paved this road, I planted this tree."
The one-eyed giant's voice echoed across the sea through a high-powered loudspeaker, extremely arrogant.
"I don't care if you're a regular army or a refugee group. If you want to pass Tianquan Pass, go to Mount Gongga!"
"Hand over half the men to stay and do hard labor, half the women to stay and become military prostitutes, and keep half the supplies!"
"otherwise……"
The one-eyed giant suddenly waved his hand.
Rumble—!
On the decks of more than a dozen large fishing boats, dozens of old-fashioned field guns were rolled out, their dark muzzles all pointed at the combined fleet below.
The main control room of the Blazing Flame.
Lu Sheng put his hands in his pockets, looked at the group of reckless roadblocks in front of him, and then turned to look at the old sea god general on the screen.
"Old General, is this what you meant by... raising Gu poison?"
The old general's face was ashen; he clearly hadn't expected to be ambushed by a group of bandits as soon as he arrived at the territory.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Young friend Lu, it seems that for our first battle, we'll have to use this group of scum as a sacrifice."
Lu Sheng smiled.
His golden vertical pupils were brimming with murderous intent.
"A flag-raising ceremony?"
"No."
With a light tap of his toes, Lu Sheng leaped off the bow of the ship like a roc spreading its wings, flying towards the luxury cruise ship.
"I'm here to tell all the demons and monsters of this West..."
"Their King of Hell has arrived."
