Chapter 889 Counterattack against Mo Yuan
Seeing the regretful expression on Su Chen's face, Liu Guang thought he was angry.
She quickly reached out and grabbed Su Chen's arm, whispering,
"Now is not the right time... After we overthrow Mo Yuan, you can do whatever you want, okay?"
"no problem!"
Su Chen laughed and squeezed Liu Guang's little hand.
Liuguang's face instantly turned crimson!
After saying goodbye to Liuguang, Su Chen returned to his room.
Lin Yingying and the other women were already fast asleep, but Mengqi heard the noise and got up to greet him.
Mengqi circled around Su Chen once, muttering,
"Boss, you smell like Miss Ryuko!"
"You're such a busybody!"
Su Chen reached out and tapped Meng Qi on the head.
He sat down in the chair and took out a blueprint from his storage space.
These are the water cannon blueprints that Yan Yue gave to Su Chen.
Although Iwatake made many markings on the drawings, they were still somewhat obscure and difficult to understand.
However, Su Chen could still make out the general idea.
It is roughly made by using materials such as black ironwood to make the cannon body, and then carving runes on the cannon body.
This completes the manufacturing process. After inserting the raw stone, it can be used.
Unfortunately, water cannons can only be used in water.
However, if used properly, it should still be effective.
Moreover, given Niu Gong and Sun Jiancheng's abilities, they might be able to apply what they've learned to other situations and develop an air cannon!
Su Chen put away the blueprints, went to bed, and embraced Liu Ling'er and Lin Yingying before drifting off to sleep.
……
Just as Yan Yue had predicted, the Lava Clan sent an envoy to negotiate the day after Xue Sen was captured.
The messenger was none other than the Turtle Prime Minister who had previously been by Xue Sen's side!
"I am the Prime Minister of the Lava Kingdom. You can just call me Prime Minister Turtle!"
The Turtle Prime Minister had an arrogant expression, and spoke Atlantean language with perfect pronunciation.
"So it's Prime Minister Turtle! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Iwagaku waved his hand casually.
"I am Yan Yue, the Great General who guards the gates of Atlantis!"
"General Yan Yue, I won't waste any more words with you."
The Turtle Prime Minister paused, then said in a deep voice.
“You captured our emperor, now release him, and we can guarantee the safety of Zhenyuan Pass.”
"What a joke! We've captured your emperor, and you still think you can threaten Zhenyuan Pass?"
Yan Yue asked with a cold smile.
"So what? Let me tell you, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops. Flattening Zhenyuan Pass is a piece of cake!"
"Without an emperor, can your army still be organized?"
Faced with the threat from Prime Minister Gui, Yan Yue did not back down in the slightest.
"We can simply elect a new emperor!"
"Then I'll release Xue Sen once you've chosen a new emperor!"
"you!"
Prime Minister Turtle was somewhat exasperated.
If that happens, the Lava Clan will inevitably descend into internal strife!
"Alright, enough talk. What will it take for you to release our emperor?"
The Turtle Prime Minister stopped being aggressive and spoke seriously.
"I haven't decided on the conditions yet, but your Lava Clan must withdraw your troops first!"
Yan Yue said calmly.
"It's not too late to talk again in a month!"
"A month is too long, half a month at most!"
"Twenty days!"
"Okay, deal!"
After some haggling, the two sides agreed to hold further negotiations in twenty days.
After Prime Minister Gui left, Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Su Chen, we only have twenty days to resolve Mo Yuan's problem!"
In fact, how to deal with the Blood Forest was also a major headache for Yan Yue.
Killing it would be tantamount to making a blood feud with the Lava Clan.
The Lava Clan will definitely elect a new emperor and then fight Zhenyuan Pass to the death.
But if we don't kill it, and instead try to negotiate with the Lava Clan, who knows if they will keep their word?
Therefore, after some consideration, Iwatake decided to postpone it for a while.
As long as they can overthrow Mo Yuan, even if they kill Xue Sen, they can still gather the army of Atlantis to suppress the Lava Clan!
"Then let's talk about how to deal with Mo Yuan?"
Yan Yue looked at Su Chen and said slowly,
"After two days of fighting, Zhenyuan Pass now has less than 20,000 troops left."
"Although Prime Minister Turtle has agreed to withdraw his troops, at least five thousand soldiers must be left behind to guard against them!"
"In other words, I can only provide you with a maximum of twelve thousand soldiers!"
Twelve thousand soldiers—that sounds like a lot.
But you should know that the waters around Atlantis are vast, and the regular army alone numbers two to three hundred thousand!
The total number of other armed forces combined definitely exceeds 400,000!
If all the people were armed, the numbers would be even more terrifying!
Therefore, the twelve thousand men at Zhenyuan Pass are simply insignificant compared to them!
"Although Mo Yuan's army looks large, Su Chen, Uncle, you don't need to worry too much."
Ryuko comforted him.
"Mo Yuan is very unpopular in the country. Many people dislike him, but they dare not speak out because of the threat to their lives."
"Especially the four princes, they dislike Mo Yuan even more. Uncle, we can write letters to the four of them."
"Even if they refuse to help us, let them choose to remain neutral at crucial moments."
Yan Yue nodded and said with a wry smile,
"But even so, Mo Yuan must have at least 100,000 elite troops under his command, right?"
"How can this be resolved?"
Yan Yue, Liu Guang, Yi Chen, and the others all turned their gazes toward Su Chen.
"An army of 100,000 is nothing but a bunch of clay chickens and earthen dogs to me."
Su Chen smiled confidently.
"But the condition is that you must create an opportunity for me to fight a decisive battle with Mo Yuan's army!"
"Give me the chance, and I can cripple Mo Yuan's army!"
Yan Yue really wanted to ask Su Chen where his confidence came from.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.
"I have ordered Yi Chen to escort you to the royal city with my command."
"No one should dare to stop us along the way."
"Once Mo Yuan receives the news, he will definitely gather a large army to stop you."
"By then, you should have your chance."
Besides this method, no one could think of any other good ideas for the time being, so they nodded in agreement.
"Oh right, Su Chen, these are the medicines made by those sorcerers."
Yan Yue slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something, took out a bottle, and handed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen took it, opened it, and saw that it was filled with pills.
After Yan Yue gave the order, the shamans of Zhenyuan Pass dared not delay.
They have been working tirelessly for the past few days, and finally, based on the formula of the Tidal Lung Reagent, they have improved and developed this pill.
"Just take one pill and you'll have the ability to breathe underwater for twelve hours."
Iwagaku explained.
"Really? That's great!"
Su Chen couldn't help but show a look of joy!
