"That's all for Xinghai Daozu. Even Haizu, who has always been reclusive in the Foam Sea, has intervened. Sword Zu is in big trouble."
Inside the army camp, Gu Chen listened to the information from the relevant parties and smiled.
"The Sword Ancestor has refined a divine sword like Chi Lian Jinghong that even the Mu Ancestor can't withstand. This has already made all Taoist ancestors feel threatened."
"Under such circumstances, if the Sword Dynasty annexes the huge Mu Dynasty, then Jiange will undoubtedly become the dominant force in the Second Mountain and Sea. How can other forces endure it?"
"Except for Taiqi Palace, it can be said that all the eight Taoist ancestors of the Second Mountain and Sea have come out of the mountain now. Who will win will test not only the strength of the Taoist ancestors from all sides, but also the wisdom."
Chen Daolin sighed and said that Fengzu was dead. Counting him, there were still eight Taoist ancestors in the Second Mountain and Sea.
The Taoist Patriarch of Transformation is now unable to protect himself and has no intention of competing for hegemony.
Dawn Taozu and Dragon Taming Taozu are competing for the inheritance of the sect, and the competition is constant.
As a result, the only ones who have time to interfere with Sword Ancestor's annexation of Mu Dynasty are Hai Ancestor and Xinghai Dao Ancestor.
"The Chen clan has just risen, and its strength is still weak. It can also help contain the Sword Dynasty, so it is not easy to be suppressed by the Taoist ancestors from all sides. This is an opportunity."
Gu Chen thought for a moment, as Xinghai Sect and Canghai Clan intervened, the situation was too favorable for them.
On the one hand, Sword Ancestor encountered external pressure and did not dare to fall out with them rashly at this time. He would continue to maintain the alliance. Naturally, the benefits they gained from the Mu Dynasty would buy them precious time to digest;
On the other hand, because they are afraid of the Sword Ancestor, all the forces in the Second Mountain and Sea will be more friendly to them, and will even deliberately support them in order to contain the Sword Dynasty, thus winning a relaxed external environment.
"Yes, now that Sword Ancestor can no longer attack easily, it will be difficult for Jiange to break through the defense line of the herdsman army, and the two sides will most likely fall into a stalemate."
"This situation is most beneficial to us. The elite army of the herdsmen is restrained by Jiange. As long as we conquer most of the herdsmen such as the Centaur and Horse Tribes, we can easily capture most of the Mu Dynasty!"
Chen Daolin was very excited, thinking that the Chen clan was suppressed by the herders and could not breathe, but now they can roam freely in the land of the herders.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. He admired Gu Chen so much that he could have the changes he has today!
He knows very well that just by breaking through and becoming the Dao Ancestor, he will never be able to achieve the great situation he is in now!
Complex battles between forces can never be solved by force!
"What did the Great Sage Sheyi say? Now that the defeated herders have abandoned their armor and are retreating steadily, their energy must be almost exhausted, right?" Gu Chen asked.
The internal performance of the Great Sage She Yi can be said to be full marks.
He first transferred the main force of the herdsman army, the Centaurs and Horses tribe, away from the border, so that the coalition forces of the two dynasties defeated the herdsmen army and marched straight in.
After that, they continued to provide intelligence, allowing the coalition forces to defeat the major tribes of the herders one by one and eliminate the effective forces.
So far, the remnants of the herdsman army have been completely led into the ditch under his leadership, hiding in various places, and they no longer have the courage to compete with the coalition forces.
"There are many large tribes among the remnants of the herdsmen. They heard that the Julin tribe and the Longxi tribe had the support of the two Taoist ancestors. They were lucky and unwilling to surrender."
"She Yi said that it would take some time to get them back, so we just hung on to them instead of chasing them down."
Chen Daolin replied that the Great Sage Sheyi had made "missteps" one after another, resulting in heavy losses to the herdsmen army, which had reduced his prestige a lot.
At this time, he did not dare to strongly advocate surrender, lest the major tribes surrender on the surface but have other plans behind their backs, thus causing hidden dangers.
"The Centaur tribe has a large number of excellent archers, so it would be best to have them under its banner. As for the other large tribes, after they capture the Mu Dynasty, they will also need their cooperation in governance."
Gu Chen nodded. After all, the Yu and Pei dynasties did not have enough knowledge. Although they captured the vast territory of the Mu Dynasty, they did not have that much manpower to manage it.
Therefore, even if the major tribes of the herdsmen may rebel as soon as Muzu returns, they still have to rely on the power of some tribes first.
Only in this way can the results of the battle be digested as quickly as possible, which was also forced by Sword Ancestor.
If it is not digested as soon as possible, the chance of winning in a possible future war with the Sword Dynasty is too small.
"We are constantly creating pressure, and coupled with She Yi's strength, sooner or later the remnants of the herdsmen will compromise."
Among the remnants of the herdsmen, there was only one great sage, She Yi, and many saints from other major tribes had been killed. The few remaining holy kings were unable to oppose the great sage She Yi.
The reason why we have to take things slowly is just to make the tribes submit more completely.
"The Sheyi side can wait slowly, and the Jade tribe can almost relax. Let them return to their old profession to ensure that there will be no shortage of weapons supply in the future."
Gu Chen has a long-term view. Although the Jade Clan were originally the lackeys of the Mu Clan, they are indeed good at refining weapons.
The Sword Dynasty has excellent weapons. If they want not to suffer losses in possible future wars, they must ensure that the weapons are in sufficient supply and of high quality.
At this time, the Jade clan becomes very important. Without their ability to refine weapons, what's the point of occupying more mineral veins?
"I admire your foresight. One moment you are an enemy, and the next moment you are one of our own."
"The world is never black and white, it's more gray. As long as we have common interests and there are no absolute contradictions, enemies can also become friends."
Gu Chen said lightly, Chen Daolin nodded in agreement.
The Jade Clan doesn't even have a saint, so they are no threat at all.
The herders have collapsed, and they are now eager to get closer to the Chen clan. They will only perform their best when given tasks.
When he brought a bunch of senior officials from the Jade clan to Dingkong Mountain before, he guessed that Gu Chen had some ideas about them.
"By the way, I heard that Senior Chen killed several holy masters from the herdsmen and collected their bodies. I wonder if you can give them to me?"
After finishing the serious chat, Gu Chen asked casually.
"Of course, but what do you want their bodies for?"
"It's of some use..."
For the next month, Gu Chen stayed in the army.
The sky-swallowing demon butterflies are wreaking havoc on the land of Mu Dynasty. Stay here to better observe their evolution.
The remnants of the herdsmen fought and retreated, and their morale became lower every day. Some small tribes even couldn't bear it and people fled.
Some high-ranking members of the herdsmen suggested joining the Julin tribe and others. Unfortunately, when the Great Sage She Yi leaked information, all their evacuation routes were blocked, leaving them completely isolated and helpless.
At this time, Wuwang Pavilion's informants secretly contacted the top leaders of the various tribes of the herders, and promised benefits on behalf of the two dynasties, provided that they surrendered earlier than other tribes!
Under the deliberate differentiation, the remnants of the herdsmen were completely scattered, and most of them wanted to surrender.
Only a small number of people are still resisting, hoping that the Julin tribe will come to their aid!
However, bad news suddenly came from the Julin tribe, destroying their last psychological defense!
