314 Chapter 314 Crushing Defea (2/2)

This responsibility was not something that he could handle.

Zong Shou looked below silently. After a long while, seeing Jin Tao Zhenren slowly come back to his senses, he asked with fear on his face, ”Zhenren, this should be the fleet from Taoyun City. What should we do?”

Jing Tao Zhenren's throat was blocked up by a depressing feeling. He pretty much wanted to scold Zong Shou. Looking at the cloud ships below, 60% of them were destroyed by the beasts whilst 40% were actually from the energy destroying crossbows! They were your biggest enemies, so what should you do, Zong Shou?

However just as he was about to scold out, he forcefully suppressed it. So what if he scolded out? The order was given by him. He even said that he would take up responsibility. Zong Shou did remind him before the matter and he was even the one who recommended to enter to look for that corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass. No matter what, it had nothing to do with Zong Shou.

Furthermore, he had indeed obtained a large number of benefits from the whole thing.

He couldn't help but take in a deep breath, Jing Tao Zhenren's face was expressionless, ”The matter today has nothing to do with City Lord Zong. Looking at the situation, all the beasts and evil spirits within 200 miles of this beast tomb have been wiped out. The essence of Hailing Plains has been lost here. Probably in a hundred years, there won't be any beast or evil spirit here that could get to grade 7. City Lord has done a great deed this time! As for the fleets of those 3 cities, they can't blame you. During the war, it is unavoidable to have unexpected casualties. If someone asks about it in the future, Jing Tao will speak for the city lord…”

Zong Shou smiled. What he waited for was this word from Jing Tao. However looking at the old man's desolate expression, he couldn't help but feel sorrowful.

This person's personality was not bad. He was just unfortunate to be sent by Long Ruo onto his ship.

The feeling of bullying an old honest person didn't feel good. He felt like he was just a bad person.

After he said those words, Jing Tao Zhenren had no more face to continue to stay on the deck. He waved his sleeves and left, stepping into the cabin.

Zhao Yanran finally burst out laughing, looking at Zong Shou with a weird expression, ”You seem to be pitying him? I don't understand your personality. He was greedy and asked for it. How can he blame others?”

Zong Shou shook his head slightly and knew that Zhao Yanran was already using that spiritual seed to peek into his mind.

As for what he was thinking, naturally, she wouldn't know. However, she knew about his rough mood.

He was lazy to bother about her, directly saying towards Zhu Junhou and Gu Liekong, ”Let the people clean up the canyon. Check if those 3 people are dead yet?”

Both of them bowed, acknowledging the order. Then the entire fleet was like a bunch of worker bees, getting back to work.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Blood flowed like a river in this place, the fishy stench surged into their noses. However, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in charge of cleaning up all had high morale and were all pumped up, all of them were willing. Especially Hu Zhongyuan and the others who were all excited and pumped up.

At this moment, even a blind person would know that those 3 cities were badly hurt this time.

Losing 2 million elite soldiers, who knows how much compensation they had to pay to them. The lost of combat power was also something that needed several years to make up for.

And also those 4 thousand cloud ships were the treasures of those cities. After losing them, they needed to rebuild them once more. That would at least take months or even half a year. It meant that these 3 cities along with their subordinate cities wouldn't be able to hunt beneath the cloud ocean within a year. Taoyun City, who focused on cloud ocean trading was still okay. As for Blazing Flame and Yunxia Cities, they would be unable to recover within a year.

People would lose confidence and those losses are impossible to be measured.

Before this, they thought that Zong Shou came here only for the beast tombs. However, they didn't think that Zong Shou's true goal was actually to plot against the 4 thousand cloud ships that followed behind!

The bad situation that Gantian Mountain City was facing was turned around within a night.

Instead, it was these 3 cities that needed to be fearful against Gantian Mountain City!

Those bottom level soldiers who were clueless were still okay. As for the generals of the higher levels, anyone who could see through a bit of the situation looked towards Zong Shou, their gazes filled with huge amounts of worship.

...With such a great ruler, Gantian Mountain would be able to rise once more! No! Now, the strength of Gantian was no weaker than when Zong Weiran was alive.

Those city lords who followed along were all absent-minded like they were in dreamland.

They rushed over this time determined to live and die together with Gantian Mountain. They felt that it would be good enough if they could have some gains such that they could continue to survive.

Who knew that those 3 cities who were so aggressive and strong would end up like this? On the contrary, it was they who returned with all the spoils.

This newly appointed monster king who was just a little older than 14 had the Midas touch.

With the 3 powers, 4 thousand cloud ships suffering a disastrous defeat, once this spreads out, even the entire situation of Donglin Cloud Continent was going to change!
