HCB #1995 - Deterrence (Part 2)
#1995 - Deterrence (Part 2)
The Wood Spirit race sent Mu Sheng and others to observe the battle this time, just like the last time they established diplomatic relations with the Little Hongmeng Star Region.
“We have arrived at area 525, I wonder when the Little Hongmeng Star Region will launch an attack.”
“Don't worry, it's not that simple to enter the Fifth Star Ring. Even if the Little Hongmeng Star Region is strong, it still takes time!”
“How many areas in our Fifth Star Ring do you think the Little Hongmeng Star Region will occupy this time? One or two?”
“I guess it's just one or two. They came from area 525, they can't keep fighting all the way to the border of our Wood Spirit race, right?”
......
Just as the Wood Spirit race was guessing, the Little Hongmeng Star Region army descended.
The Heavenly Court First Army, with its firepower fully unleashed, was extremely fierce.
Area 525 fell at an incredible speed.
The ruler of that area had just received the news and hadn't even had time to deploy anything.
A powerful saber light flew over, completely turning the entire headquarters of 525 into ashes.
It is very easy for Qin Yi now to do this with his current combat power, there is no difficulty at all.
It would be ridiculous if a First Grade Celestial Venerable Perfection cultivator could not instantly kill a First Grade Celestial Venerable Late Stage cultivator and his subordinates.
After solving the Chaos Gods in area 525.
Qin Yi quickly killed the Chaos Gods powerhouses in areas 524 to 521 in the same way.
This explosive news quickly reached the ears of the Wood Spirit race.
The higher-ups of the Wood Spirit race were stunned.
“Did I hear correctly? That Qin Emperor actually traveled to multiple areas in just over an hour, killing all the strongest people in these areas?”
“According to the news from our spies in these areas, these First Grade Celestial Venerable Late Stage cultivators and their subordinates were directly killed without even having time to react.”
“I seem to understand a little, this seems to be a kind of deterrence, and it is the kind of straightforward deterrence that makes people unable to say anything at all!”
“Qin Emperor is using this opportunity to show us his strength, he is indeed a brave and skilled powerhouse!”
......
When these Wood Spirit race higher-ups spoke, they looked at the Wood Spirit patriarch.
The meaning of inquiry in their eyes was very obvious, that is, could the Wood Spirit patriarch do this.
Feeling the meaning in his clansmen's eyes, the Wood Spirit patriarch said with a smile: "Our Wood Spirit race is not good at fighting itself, I cannot quickly kill multiple First Grade Celestial Venerable Late Stage cultivators like this Qin Emperor."
There was another sentence that the Wood Spirit patriarch did not say, that is, not only could he not do this.
He couldn't even travel to multiple areas in a short period of time like Qin Yi.
In just half a day, the Wood Spirit race higher-ups heard many urgent reports.
“Latest urgent report: The Little Hongmeng Star Region completely occupied area 525 in half an hour..."
“Latest urgent report: The Little Hongmeng Star Region occupied area 524 with overwhelming force..."
“Latest urgent report: The Chaos Gods army in area 523 is fleeing, it is expected that the battle in the entire area will end in a quarter of an hour..."
“Latest urgent report: Area 521 has been occupied by the Little Hongmeng Star Region, we have changed a neighbor..."
These urgent reports fell into the ears of the Wood Spirit race higher-ups like heavy hammers.
Such a quick resolution to the battle made them realize one thing.
If the Little Hongmeng Star Region really wanted to attack them, perhaps the battle would not take too long to end.
After all, the Wood Spirit patriarch himself admitted that he was not good at fighting, which meant that he could not beat that Qin Emperor.
The top combat power is not as good as others, let alone the comprehensive combat power below, the gap is too big.
The Wood Spirit race higher-ups looked at the Wood Spirit patriarch and said: "Patriarch, what should we do now?"
The power and ultra-fast battle resolution speed of the Little Hongmeng Star Region made their attitude change drastically.
Previously, the Wood Spirit race higher-ups had not expected that Qin Yi would occupy area 521.
Now that the Little Hongmeng Star Region has become their neighbor, and the two forces had previously established diplomatic relations.
So they have to show some expression...
Cultivation resources are definitely indispensable, and they have to send people to congratulate them.
Just as the Wood Spirit patriarch was about to arrange these things, he heard the voice of the Wood Spirit Saintess from outside the door: "I'm back."
The other Wood Spirit race higher-ups were overjoyed: "The Saintess is back, we haven't seen her for some time."...
The Wood Spirit patriarch was a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, the Wood Spirit Saintess should not be back at this time.
Since she is back, it means that there must be other things.
In fact, it was not much different from what the Wood Spirit patriarch thought.
The Wood Spirit Saintess came back with a mission, otherwise, based on the agreement between her and Lan Wenhao, it would be impossible for her to leave the territory of the Little Hongmeng Star Region.
After some greetings, the Wood Spirit Saintess said: "Everyone, the Little Hongmeng Star Region army plans to borrow a road from our area 520."
As soon as this remark came out, the scene was silent.
“Saintess, forgive me for not understanding, what does this borrowing a road mean? Hasn't the conquest of this Little Hongmeng Star Region ended yet?”
“They have already occupied five areas in the Fifth Star Ring, are they still not satisfied, and still want to launch an attack towards area 519?”
“That's not right, once this Little Hongmeng Star Region occupies area 519, wouldn't our Wood Spirit race become a sandwich?”
“What borrowing a road, isn't it a kind of deterrence? If they want to go to area 519, they can completely enter from the Sixth Star Ring.”...
These Wood Spirit race higher-ups are not fools, they instantly understood what was going on when they heard about borrowing a road.
This time they fell into entanglement.
Letting the Little Hongmeng Star Region borrow a road is tantamount to a compromise and concession.
Moreover, the Little Hongmeng Star Region army passing over the territory of the Wood Spirit race will have a very obvious deterrent effect on the hearts of ordinary Wood Spirit people.
It will be difficult for them to explain this matter to these ordinary Wood Spirit race beings below in the future.
Are they going to tell them that they compromised with the power of the Little Hongmeng Star Region?
But not borrowing a road is tantamount to offending the Little Hongmeng Star Region.
Judging from the combat power shown by the other party now, their side obviously does not have the strength to offend the other party.
This is clearly a kind of test, testing the attitude of the Wood Spirit race.
Otherwise, they can clearly enter area 519 from the Sixth Star Ring, why borrow a road!
Apart from borrowing a road, it is most fatal for this Little Hongmeng Star Region to occupy area 519. If this is the case, our Wood Spirit race will be embarrassed.
“This Little Hongmeng Star Region is so calculating, just this one move of borrowing a road can determine the future of our Wood Spirit race.”
“If we lend it to him, we will naturally fall into a weak position, and we will not be able to explain it to the people below at that time. If we don't lend it to him, we can't afford to offend the Little Hongmeng Star Region either.”
“Borrowing a road is secondary, it is most fatal for this Little Hongmeng Star Region to occupy area 519. If this is the case, our Wood Spirit race will be embarrassed.”
“It seems that this Qin Emperor is determined to eat us, this feeling is really uncomfortable!”...
