Chapter 269 Reward
Xia Zhongnan smiled slightly. He had foreseen today's situation. If Maitreya Fortress was allowed to grow and develop, the future of the five surrounding countries would only be full of suffering. Until that day, Yutian Ancient Buddha and Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha led dozens of venerables to the fortress, and the five countries were already helpless.
If Liu Dabazi had not seized the Xiuzhou territory under Xia Zhongnan's planning, quickly wiped out the Maitreya followers, and intimidated the two ancient Buddhas with the mysterious "The End of the World is Just a Chi away" formation, the Great Xia Kingdom would probably have been riddled with holes.
Seeing that Xia Zhongnan just smiled and did not mention the alliance, Marshal Baru could not help but worry: "Could it be that King Xia is unwilling to fight against the Maitreya Fortress side by side with Sargon?"
Xia Zhongnan explained: "No! Maitreya Fortress is a symbol of the Western God Religion, and its greedy heart aims to devour the entire Eastern Ancient Domain. It is a potential huge threat to all Eastern countries. Our goal is indeed to destroy Maitreya Fortress, but to deal with it, we cannot just look at its surface strength, but also beware of the Western God Religion behind it. Once Maitreya Fortress is in trouble, the God Religion will not hesitate to send more ancient Buddhas to help. Even if the two countries join forces, it will be difficult to completely destroy Maitreya Fortress in a short period of time."
He also felt helpless. The original plan was to secretly gather forces to attack the Maitreya Fortress, but unexpectedly, the three-nation coalition suddenly arrived on the day of the founding of the country, exposing the true strength of Daxia. Now that he thought about it, the Maitreya Fortress might have taken precautions, and the messenger seeking help from the Divine Religion might be on the way. To deal with the Maitreya Fortress, another good strategy must be found.
There are already two ancient Buddhas in Maitreya Fortress, and there are also many venerables. Although Xia Zhongnan's current strength may make a sneak attack successful, the cost is huge. A direct attack will take time, at least until all the strange beasts in Fengqi Mountain are promoted to the third level.
Marshal Baru was dumbfounded when he heard this. They only wanted to weaken the influence of Maitreya and prevent its infiltration, but Xia Zhongnan's goal was to completely conquer the Maitreya Fortress.
He swallowed and said, "King Xia, capturing the Maitreya Fortress... This... This is too difficult. It is definitely not something that can be accomplished by the strength of the two countries alone. We just need to stop the infiltration of Maitreya."
Xia Zhongnan said: "Let me tell you a story. There was once a continent with seven countries, namely Qi, Xia, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han. Among these seven countries, Qin was located in the barren land of the northwest and was a weak country at first. The Qin people lived a hard life and had to work hard to become stronger. The soldiers were brave and fearless...
In a distant fantasy world, the six kingdoms feared the powerful Qin Empire and gave up their territories one after another, attempting to exchange a brief peace with a magical contract of offering land. However, with every inch of land lost, the magic power of Qin increased, and the six kingdoms became increasingly weak. Finally, Qin unified the world, and a warning was circulated: "Giving land to Qin is like putting out a fire with firewood. Even if the firewood is gone, the fire will not go out!"
At that time, Maitreya City survived with only one castle, and the five empires could destroy it with a wave of their hands. Now, Maitreya City controls fifteen mysterious states and has become a major concern for the Wu State. The situation is like a reappearance of the Qin Dynasty's destruction of the six states.
Marshal Baru was sweating profusely when he heard this. Wasn't his Khanate constantly exchanging territory for the short-lived peace of the Qin Empire? Among the five countries, the Xia Kingdom held on to the last piece of land of Mile City, while the other countries lost at least three or four mysterious territories, and the Khanate made the greatest contribution. Perhaps, King Qili sent him to find the Great Xia Alliance for this reason.
"Lord Xia, what strategies do you have for fighting against Maitreya City?" asked Marshal Baru.
Xia Zhongnan replied: "According to intelligence, Ji and Bi have formed an alliance with Maitreya City and want to eliminate our Xia. Therefore, if we want to destroy Maitreya, we must first eliminate the troubles of these two countries to avoid worries!"
"The King of Xia wants our Khanate to assist in attacking the Kingdom of Ji and the Kingdom of Bi?" asked Marshal Baru.
"Ji and Bi are not adjacent to the Khanate, so you cannot provide direct assistance. If the Khanate's strength is needed to deal with the two countries, how can we challenge Mile City?" Xia Zhongnan responded. Marshal Baru was relieved and was glad that Xia Zhongnan did not make such a request.
"After returning from this trip, I will convince my king to dispatch the strongest combat force to guard the border with the Maitreya forces, and wait for good news from Lord Xia." Marshal Baru promised.
"I have said before that to deal with Maitreya City, we must consider the intervention of the Western Church. It is difficult to resist with the strength of only two countries. Please tell the Khan that I hope he can use his diplomatic skills to unite more countries to take action against Maitreya City." Xia Zhongnan proposed.
In the mysterious Maitreya City, Zhu Fasheng stepped into two ancient Buddha's meditation places.
"Saint Dharma, what's bothering you?" asked Yutian Ancient Buddha.
"Master, Uncle Master, Xia Zhongnan ascended the throne as the lord of Xia Kingdom yesterday and renamed the Kingdom Wu. The three kingdoms of Feng, Ji and Bi simultaneously sent out 500,000 troops to invade the territory of Xia Kingdom. The governors of Qizhou, Yanzhou, Xuanzhou, Yinzhou and Xianzhou of Wu Kingdom secretly sided with the three kingdoms. It was originally believed that the armies of the three kingdoms would quickly invade the heartland of Xia Kingdom, but unexpectedly Xia Zhongnan sent out nearly 60 Void Realm powerhouses to fight. The venerable I sent witnessed their ruthless killing with their own eyes. They rushed into the center of the enemy army in an instant, beheaded the commander of the army, and then brutally massacred the army. They not only defeated the coalition forces of the three kingdoms, but also killed the eight governors of the former Wu Kingdom who colluded with the three kingdoms." Zhu Fasheng said.
The narrow eyes of Ancient Buddha Yutian and Ancient Buddha Zhenzhuo suddenly widened.
"You mean, Xia Zhongnan sent sixty Void Realm powerhouses to fight against the armies of the Three Kingdoms?" Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha said in surprise.
Zhu Fasheng said: "It is absolutely true, this matter is of great importance!"
Ancient Buddha Yuekong was surprised and said, "In the Donggu Realm, each country can only gather about 60 Guixu cultivators. How could Xia Zhongnan have the courage and strength to gather so many Guixu masters to fight against the coalition forces of the three countries?"
For him, this was an incredible and extremely dangerous move.
Zhu Fasheng explained: "These sixty Guixu monks are not governors of the states of Xia or officials of the imperial court."
Ancient Buddha Yuekong asked in confusion: "If the imperial court and the states were not mobilized, how could Xia State afford to form a 60-man Guixu team? Where did his Guixu monks come from?"
Zhu Fasheng said, "This is exactly what's strange. Most of these more than 60 Guixu people are unfamiliar faces. Only a few people, such as Zhao Delin, the deputy of Liu Dabazi from Xiuzhou, and Zuoqiu Juemin, are recorded in our intelligence. Moreover, these people were only in the Spiritualization Realm before, and I don't know how they became powerful Guixu people."
Zhen Zhuo Ancient Buddha commented: "I think Xia Zhongnan is full of weirdness. Not only does he challenge Dao Zun with the power of Guixu, but so many Guixu masters suddenly appear under his command."
Ancient Buddha Yuekong responded: "Xia Zhongnan has a deep hatred for our Maitreya City. He is ruthless and decisive. We have been defeated by him many times. We must not underestimate him! Immediately issue an order that the Maitreya City's defense formation remain open from now on."
