650 Not Following Rules (2/2)

Zong Shou squinted as he looked towards the main island dozens of miles away.

There were ten people looking over. The Huizhou City Lords' faces fluctuated between green and white as they looked at the fleets of warships.

They looked like they were stunned by the Gantian Mountain army's strength, and were regretting their actions.

Weihai had Great Shang as a shield, so naturally he didn't need to worry about Gantian Mountain. However, if Zong Shou wanted to take their lives, it was as easy as a flick of the finger!

Weihai was smiling as he cupped his fists in apology.

Kong Xuan scoffed coldly.

Zong Shou was delighted, and bowed back, and then he ignored them. He turned his head to hear Zong Gang say coldly,

”It is okay if they take the crossbows. After all, they belong to Great Shang. Those Spiritual Crossbows are expensive and it is acceptable if they don't want to share. We can not worry about them only giving us one hundred thousand's worth of resources and grain. However, what's the meaning of destroying all the spiritual formations?”

Lingxuan, who stood at the side, added, ”That Weihai is so despicable. He has such nefarious intentions. Does he think that other people don't know about him?”

Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing kept silent, but their expressions were really serious.

Hu Zhongyuan bowed, buzzing, ”Ruler please give the order to call back the troops! What does this Huizhou Island have to do with us?”

The moment those words were said, everyone was silent, no one agreeing.

They all frowned.

Zong Shou's eyes shone before he laughed out loud.

If this had been said a few days ago, it would actually be a good idea.

However, since the Night Demons could attack from here at any moment, he couldn't help but think about other things…

Those spiritual crossbows for the arrow platform could be removed from the navy.

However, the Nine Arm Spiritual Crossbows which were the strongest were tough to move.

Moreover, it was unknown whether or not they could fix these spiritual formations before the Night Demons arrived.

Even if they completed them, it would be tough to make them perfect. If he was that Prince Jia Mingluo, he would definitely choose to attack this spot and not other places with stronger defences.

It was too kind to say that Weihai had nefarious intentions.

If this was dozens of days ago, no matter how shrewd he was, he would have been annoyed when he found this out. However, now, he just laughed it off.

”We can't!”

Ren Tianxing stepped out, braving the killer eyes of Hu Zhongyuan and the others. ”Half a day ago, Zong Yuan and I worked together to scout. Outside the world there are millions of Night Demons, and all of them are elites able to compete against the Xue Family Race Soldiers. If we can't work together with Great Shang, Gantian Mountain won't be able to handle it alone and will definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if we want to retreat, we must have a safety net.”

The people around were all experienced. When they heard that, they all nodded in agreement.

Only Hu Zhongyuan's face turned red from rage.

Zong Shou smiled and understood what Ren Tianxing meant. If Weihai stopped caring after they left and also withdrew his troops, what would happen?

Not only would Gantian Mountain have to deal with the Night Demons, the Cloud World Sects and countries would also blame them.

As for a plan, naturally they had to make the hundreds of thousands of elites of Great Shang remain. Once the war started, those people would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

He would have shaken his head in defeat before he learnt of the Great Death Restriction Formation. With how smart Weihai was, he wouldn't take the brunt of damage for others. But now, knowing about the Great Death Restriction, Zong Shou was confident.

This person definitely wasn't planning something small since he was using ten million lives as sacrifice. He wouldn't retreat so easily.

He already had a plan and didn't need to bother with anything else.

”Since we can't retreat, then let's stay!”

Hu Zhongyuan's eyes bugged out in rage, before he suppressed his feelings.

Zong Gang gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself in the end.

His personality was actually more explosive than Hu Zhongyuan's, but since he had been promoted to Right Pillar General, he had started to pay attention to the big picture and become much calmer.

If this was in the past, he would have fought the Great Shang troops.

Taking a deep breath, he bowed. ”I will organize the Spirit Masters to set up the formation! I also brought sixty grade-9 Energy-Destroying Crossbows to be used here...”

Zong Shou shook his head, his expression filled with deep meaning. ”There's no need to do so much. Since there's one ready, then let's just use that one. Why do you want to set up a new one?”

The people around him were startled when they heard this, and didn't know what he meant.

He then took out a wooden box and passed it to Kong Yao.

”Do you remember what you said ten days ago?”
