Chapter 2236 - 2236 Cooperation (1)
2236 Cooperation (1)
Tang Zhen’s words had shattered the last trace of hope in the heart of the masked man. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
In fact, he knew very well that once the two sides met on the battlefield, they would definitely fight to the death.
The masked man was sure that the strength of Lou Cheng’s cultivators had far exceeded his imagination.
They were powerful and well-equipped. If a martial artist were to fight them, the possibility of winning was probably less than ten percent.
It was a crushing defeat without any suspense, and the gap was so big that it made people feel despair.
If he had a choice, he would definitely not choose such an opponent. That was simply courting death.
It was a great taboo to be afraid before the battle, but the masked man had never regarded the cultivators of loucheng as his enemy and was even more unwilling to participate in the battle.
The problem was that even if the masked man did not want to join the battle, the sea monsters would not allow it. Due to the current special situation, the sea monsters could no longer wait.
Before Lou Cheng’s cultivators entered the divine Kingdom, the sea monster race was the invisible Overlord of the divine Kingdom. Believers and Warriors lived in the shadow they created.
These sea monsters, which were born from the obsession of the native gods, had long coveted the main body and wanted to control the God’s kingdom.
As long as this step was completed, the divine Kingdom would become the nest of the sea monsters and become a true God race.
However, the appearance of the cultivators from Lou Cheng had completely disrupted the sea monster tribe’s plan and caught them off guard.
Originally, the sea monster could have had enough time to wait for the Aboriginal deities to weaken, and at the same time, it could have found a way to speed up the weakening process and let the Aboriginal deities run out of energy.
During this process, the sea monster could also consume and tempt the believers, disintegrating the defenses of the believers ‘continent from the inside.
When the right opportunity came, the sea monsters would take action and launch a fatal blow to the indigenous gods.
In the end, with the appearance of Lou Cheng’s cultivators, his original plan was completely disrupted and he even became more passive.
The sea monsters suddenly realized that if this continued, the cultivators of Lou Cheng might control the entire divine Kingdom.
After planning for so many years, the cultivators of Lou Cheng took the fruits of their labor. This was something that the sea monster tribe could not tolerate.
That was why the sea monster race immediately launched an attack on the believer’s continent after confirming that the news was correct. Their goal was to drive out the cultivators in Lou Cheng and completely control the bodies of the indigenous gods.
What Tang Zhen didn’t know was that in the eyes of the sea monster clan, the cultivators in loucheng city were the real villains, the invaders who snatched the fruits of victory.
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
However, when it came to war, there was no need for reasoning. Only the benefits that could be obtained were important.
When it was time to reason, the victor could give a reason that was enough to explain everything according to his own thoughts.
The winner would be King and the loser would be bandits. This was the truest war.
However, the cultivators in loucheng rarely talked about reason. They would basically just fight and take all the useful resources.
They weren’t bandits, but they were stronger.
It was not unreasonable for cultivators of Lou Cheng to be regarded as intruders by the sea monsters. If it were not for the restriction of the contract, the kingdom of God would have collapsed completely after cultivators of Lou Cheng left.
“Is there really no way to turn this around?”
The masked man asked in a soft voice. There was a trace of unwillingness in his tone.
“Yes, withdraw from the war and hide as far away as possible.
The divine Kingdom was so large that it was not difficult to find a remote place to avoid battle.
If you can do this, I can guarantee the safety of you and your companions. If you can’t, then the only outcome will be death!”
Tang Zhen’s voice was ice-cold as he pointed out the path for the other party.
The masked man shook his head with a bitter smile.
“I’m afraid it’s too late to back out now. If I dare to do this, I’ll be killed by the sea monsters before the war even starts.
They will never allow such a thing to happen. Once they discover any signs of danger, they will immediately eliminate it. I don’t want to be the first one to stand out.”
Not all martial artists wanted to participate in the war. They knew that they would not be able to reap any benefits in the end.
The problem was that the general trend of the situation was that it was impossible to withdraw. Martial artists were like pieces of paper swept by the violent waves, and no one knew when they would be torn into pieces by the waves.
“If you really don’t want to be associated with the sea monster clan, I can help you think of a way. However, if you do that, you won’t be able to return to the martial arts continent in a short time.
If the believer’s continent wins, you may be able to return to your homeland. If you lose, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the sea monster clan.
The choice is entirely up to you.
I must remind you that you can’t hesitate in the face of such a life-and-death decision.
If you’re overcautious and try to win favor from both sides, then I’d advise you to give up as soon as possible.”
The masked man stood still, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. In fact, the fact that he had taken the initiative to come to area 153 had already made his attitude clear.
He wanted to cooperate, but he was afraid that it would put him in an even more dangerous situation, so he was hesitant.
Tang Zhen involuntarily laughed coldly when he saw this.
“I believe you know better than I do that no matter the outcome of this war, the believer’s continent will not be able to continue to exist.
To us, you’re our enemies, and we must absolutely exterminate you.
“For the overseas tribes, after occupying the entire divine Kingdom and getting rid of all their believers, there is no need for you martial artists to continue existing.
Since we’re going to die either way, it’s better to seek a chance of survival in this desperate situation, which is to cooperate with the believer’s continent and fight against the sea monster tribe together!”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the masked man finally made up his mind and gently nodded his head.
alright, I agree to cooperate with you. I hope you will keep your promise!
Tang Zhen smiled and said softly,”I have no interest in occupying God’s kingdom. Moreover, this world has an owner and is not suitable for long-term development.”
As long as we win the war, I’ll keep my promise and never go back on my word.”
The masked man did not say a word. He knew very well that no matter how many promises he made, it would be useless. In fact, choosing to cooperate was a gamble in itself.
However, it was just as Tang Zhen had said. He did not have any room for choice. He could only hope that Tang Zhen would keep his word and would not raise his butcher’s knife against martial artists after he won the war.
If they wanted to sign a contract, Tang Zhen might not agree. Masked man would definitely not want to do so as that would be equivalent to cutting off all their escape routes.
Therefore, at this moment, both sides tacitly did not mention this matter.
“We’re already in a cooperative relationship,” said masked man. “So How do I need to cooperate in the next operation?”
Since they had decided to cooperate, they had to show a certain amount of sincerity as a sign of their loyalty.
If it was just moving his mouth, that would be too much of a joke.
Tang Zhen stood up from his chair and gently paced around the cave. He seemed to be thinking about his next action plan.
The masked man was silent as he waited for Tang Zhen’s instructions.
now that the Allied army of sea monsters is heading straight for the believer’s continent, it’s impossible for the believer’s continent to remain indifferent. It’s inevitable that they’ll intercept us halfway.
I believe that both the sea monster clan and you have made the corresponding preparations, am I right? What?”
The masked man nodded. That was indeed the case.
the sea monster’s main defense was actually the strong ones from the believer’s continent and the newly formed naval fleet.
Although the size of the fleet was far from the sea monster Alliance, their combat power could not be underestimated. One runic missile could destroy a sea monster nest. What would it look like when a group of warships fired runic missiles?
