Chapter 1119 New Partner
"Reporting, the raccoon tribe's sacred land has been breached, the Hou tribe's reinforcements have already passed Fengze and are about to reach the main battlefield. Although the Snake tribe's reinforcements have just arrived at Xiaofengze, they will also arrive within half a day."
"The human race hasn't received any new reinforcements yet, but their spies have already spotted reinforcements from the Qilin tribe, yet they're still holding their ground. They should be able to find a way to send reinforcements."
Inside the Northern Territory Palace, the newly appointed King of the Northern Territory, Lu She, sat on the throne, listening to his subordinates' reports on the battle situation with a solemn expression.
Although he could not send troops according to the agreement with Xia Jin, the war had been started at his doorstep after all, so Ou She naturally could not just sit back and do nothing.
When the time comes, he will definitely send the Northern Territory Spirit Clan to attack immediately.
Although Ou She hated the demon race and was a radical among the spirit race, he wished that all the demons would die out immediately and that Sanqiu Kingdom would become a country where the demons had the final say - this was also one of the reasons why he was willing to cooperate with Xia Jin.
But if Xia Jin really completed the complete annihilation of the northern demon tribe at his doorstep... no, even if he only needed to eat two demon tribes, it would exceed Lu She's psychological expectations and bottom line.
By then, the demon race will be absolutely unable to resist the invasion of the human race - without the buffer of the demon race, the North will become even weaker relying only on the spirit race.
Although the demon race is annoying, the human race is also greedy and unreliable!
Even if the human race really wiped out the demon race and evacuated...what if the Blood Country in the west knew that the northern border was empty and directly chose to force its way across the western defense line and attack from the north?
Before becoming the King of the North, the only thing to consider is how to become the King of the North.
But after becoming the King of the North... there are more things to consider.
Looking at the strange man who was still standing beside his throne, with long, wide hair, a thin figure, and a body covered with metal ornaments, Lu She spoke unhappily.
"How long are you going to stay here? Do you want Tirugu to keep watching me?"
Baisha, upon hearing the Northern King's question, remained calm and unperturbed. He simply began to explain, "Don't misunderstand, Honorable Northern King—from the very beginning, I was merely a lobbyist, guaranteeing you a 'fallback' if your coup failed. Since you successfully ascended the throne and expressed your willingness to continue cooperation, Lugu's commission has been fulfilled."
"So staying here now... is just my own will."
"After all, the relationship between Lugu and me is one of equal cooperation. I am not his vassal or subordinate."
Hearing Baisha's words, Lu She said unhappily.
"Then why are you staying here of your own accord?"
"Of course, it's to gain more 'merits' and also to secure my own interests," Baisha said, looking at Lu She with a gleaming gaze. "You've been keeping an eye on the battlefield. You should definitely send troops next, right?"
Lu She did not hide it: "Yes, but so what? You want to convince me not to send troops? Then you'd better give up on this idea!"
"Although I promised to maintain a cooperative relationship with Lugu, to exchange intelligence, and to conduct secret transactions, I cannot truly ignore the war provoked by the human race in the northern border. Two days of inaction is already the limit."
"If I don't send troops next, I'm afraid the kings of the other five domains of the Spirit Clan and the Demon Clan will begin to put pressure on me, the new king who hasn't even secured his throne yet. Besides, I didn't ascend the throne in a normal way. Holding my troops still for two days to suppress the voices within the Northern Territory is already the limit."
"The most important thing is... the Xiajin people are not good people. Even if you didn't attack me, your 'ally' this time, you already have the means to send large numbers of troops into the northern border at any time. After eliminating the demon tribe and plunging the northern border into chaos and emptiness, I can't say whether you will attack our spirit race's northern palace next time."
Lu She said this in a cold voice, and Baisha shook his head.
"Don't worry, I understand the interests you mentioned, and I'm not stupid enough to persuade you with such a hopeless matter."
"As I said, I'm staying here now, more for my own benefit," Baisha said calmly, looking at Lu She. "So, I'll tell you something I know."
"Xia Jin's army this time is more than a thousand men. You should be able to guess that, right?"
Baisha asked, and Lu She nodded slowly.
"Of course, the fact that these thousand people are attacking in this way only means that Xia Jin definitely has more than just these thousand people."
"But no matter how much you expect, Xia Jin is definitely sending more people than you imagine," Baisha said, looking at Lu She. "The thousand men from the Ying tribe are just the 'first step'... Next, Lu Gu will bet almost everything he has on the battlefield—all the elite soldiers of the Ying tribe plus Lu Gu's own private soldiers, a total of 15,000. They will enter in three waves and simultaneously attack the sacred sites of the Hou and Fox tribes, capturing and slaughtering the demon tribe."
"And that's not all. Elite troops from the three upper divisions, Li, Shu, and Quan, and nine lower divisions will rush in to reinforce us, dragging the entire northern border into the flames of war—even soldiers from the Tian division might be mobilized."
Hearing Baisha's words, Lu She was shocked.
"This... this is nearly one-third of Xia Jin's military strength, and all of Lu Gu's assets. He's not planning to capture the Northern Territory, but is actually planning an all-out war with Sanqiu?! Why would he do this?!"
Ou She asked with some confusion.
Baisha stood beside the throne, patted it, and said, "Just like why you chose to launch a rebellion—the only thing that can make people take huge risks to do something is huge benefits."
He paused, then asked Lu She in his heavy voice, "Respected Northern Territory Witch King, although Lu Gu and I have a cooperative relationship, I wouldn't mind having another ally—an ally of my own. So, I will tell you Lu Gu's true intentions."
"The tower carried by the Xia Jin army is a newly refined sacrificial vessel by Lugu—a sacrificial vessel crafted based on the ancient Blood Nation's Rakshasa treasure, a vessel that even he himself cannot fully master."
"That sacrificial vessel will, at the cost of countless lives, initiate the 'Hundred Tribulations King Refining' and ultimately condense a 'Path to Divinity'."
Lu She breathed rapidly: "The path to becoming a god...?!"
"Yes, so you must send troops. As for whether you truly want to 'aid' the demon race, or only pretend to help them in order to gain some benefits for yourself and the spirit race, that's up to you," Baisha whispered, his voice full of temptation. "After all, you said that your current position as the Northern King is not very stable."
Ou She was indeed persuaded by him, but as the King of the North, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked about Baisha vigilantly again.
"What's your reason for doing this?"
"Chaos! I hope it gets even more chaotic. After all, I don't belong to this world, and I can't use the 'Path to Godhood,'" Baisha whispered. "Besides... you'd be a better partner than Lugu. At least right now, if you get something, you might help me out in a manhunt, right?"
