Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 363

“What?” Zhou Shu frowned. “Great Wei’s army was completely wiped out?

“Didn’t Prince Cao tell you?”

“He did.” Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu with a complicated expression. Not only had Cao Chenyang said that, but he had also announced that Zhou Shu was already the Country Protector King of Great Liang!

The King of the South of Great Xia, the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, the Country Protector King of Great Liang…

Zhou Shu was now the king of three nations. Such a thing was unheard of. In the past, Meng Bai didn’t even dare to think about it.

“Although Prince Cao said that Great Wei has already sided with the Demon Realm, there’s no evidence after all. We can’t be sure if this is true or not,” Meng Bai continued.

“It’s true,” Zhou Shu said with certainty. “If there’s nothing wrong with Great Wei, I’ll take my head off and let you kick it like a ball!”

Although he had no evidence, he was sure that Great Wei was up to no good.

Meng Bai: “…”

“Let’s not worry about whether or not Great Wei has surrendered to the Demon Realm.”

…

Meng Bai said solemnly, “It’s true that the Great Wei army participating in the martial arts tournament this time was completely wiped out. Someone saw it with their own eyes!”

“Who saw it? Can we trust them? Maybe this is Great Wei’s trick,” Zhou Shu said.

“Sun Gongping,” Meng Bai said.

Zhou Shu: “…”

If someone else said that they had seen the entire Great Wei army being wiped out, Zhou Shu might still have some doubts.

But if it was Sun Gongping…

He could be trusted.

“As far as we know, Great Liang, Great Chen, and Great Wei have already been wiped out in this battlefield space,” Meng Bai said in a low voice. “The best situation for the other nations is that they can still retain thirty percent of their strength for the time being, just like our Great Xia.”

There were tens of thousands of people in Great Xia, but there were only about 10,000 left. Even if there were more outside the camp, there probably wouldn’t be many.

They had already lost two-thirds of the army!

The other nations might not be any better off than Great Xia.

In that case, there were less than 100,000 humans left in this battlefield space.

A 100,000-strong army was facing a Demon Realm army that might have as many as a million demonic beasts. Among them was a peerless expert who was a great demon.

How could they fight this war?

Without supplies and reinforcements, even Meng Bai had no chance of winning against the million-strong demon army in an enclosed space.

“King of the South, we must now assume the worst,” Meng Bai said seriously. “We’ll defend for three years and then return to the Ten Nations. Together, we will resist the invasion of the Demon Realm.”

To be honest, Meng Bai didn’t have much confidence in holding on for even three years.

The most likely outcome was that Zhou Shu would live alone for three years. When the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space reopened, Zhou Shu would be able to bring the news out…

“It’s right to assume the worst.” Zhou Shu nodded. It was good to plan ahead.

Hearing Zhou Shu’s words, Meng Bai became even more certain that Zhou Shu had indeed been seriously injured by Yao Lian.

Otherwise, given his previous personality, he wouldn’t have said this.

“Still, I think we should get in touch with the other nations’ armies first,” Zhou Shu continued. “Since we’re going to fight the demons, the more people we have, the better. No matter how many people there are left, it’s better for everyone to gather together than to split up.

“I will arrange for scouts to spread out to find traces of the armies of the nations.”

Meng Bai nodded. “However, although the area of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield is not as large as the outside world, it is not small for individuals.

“If the armies of the various nations are still here, they will definitely be hiding. In that case, it won’t be easy to find them.”

But they were not the only ones who wanted to find the armies of the various nations. The Demon Realm army was also looking for them.

They wanted to kill all the Ten Nations’ armies.

It could be imagined that if there were any surviving troops, they would definitely try their best to hide their tracks. After all, if they were discovered by the Demon Realm army, it would be a disaster for them.

“It won’t be easy to find them. In that case, let them come to us.” Zhou Shu pondered. “Great General, what do you think we should do to let everyone in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament know of our existence?”

Meng Bai said, “Well…”

He was confused by Zhou Shu’s train of thought. If we want everyone to know, the news will have to spread.

The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space was not in the outside world. It was too difficult to transmit information.

“I wonder how those guys from the Heavenly Mountain Villa did it. The real-time changes in the armament manuals means that they can know the changes in the world’s weapons in real time. If we can master their methods, it won’t be difficult to find the Ten Nations’ armies,” Zhou Shu said.

Meng Bai was speechless. The methods of the Heavenly Mountain Villa were unpredictable. For so many years, many people had wanted to obtain information about the Heavenly Mountain Villa, but they had never been able to.

All this talk now was nonsense.

“It’s important to contact the armies of the various nations, but there’s still a problem in front of us,” Meng Bai said seriously.

“The Demon Realm army is still stationed more than one hundred kilometers outside the camp, and that great demon Yao Lian might still be around.

“According to the information we’ve discovered, the Demon Realm army is rushing from all over. Even if we don’t look for the armies of the various nations, they will notice the commotion here sooner or later.”

Meng Bai even suspected that Yao Lian might be preparing to gather the entire Demon Realm army on the battlefield and flatten their camp in one fell swoop.

Although he didn’t know why Yao Lian wanted to do that, logically speaking, he didn’t need so many Demon Realm troops.

A 100,000-strong army was enough to kill all of them.

“Ignore him.” Zhou Shu waved his hand. “He won’t dare to do anything for a month.”

Yao Lian had been seriously injured in the previous battle. He wouldn’t recover without a month.

Zhou Shu estimated that Yao Lian wouldn’t dare to look for him again before he recovered.

As for a month later…

Zhou Shu sneered. When the time came, he could press Yao Lian to the ground with one hand.

Strictly speaking, the two of them should have been evenly matched in the previous battle. Zhou Shu had a slight advantage, but it wasn’t obvious.

If Yao Lian hadn’t been frightened by him and continued fighting, Zhou Shu would have been the one at a disadvantage once the effect of his supreme ability wore off.

Although he hadn’t really won against Yao Lian, he had gained a lot.

At least, he had figured out Yao Lian’s strength.

When he used his supreme ability Total Annihilation and his combat strength increased by 25 times, he was basically on par with Yao Lian.

If Total Annihilation increased a little, even if it was only fifty times the explosive power, Zhou Shu would still be able to defeat Yao Lian. There was no need to perfect it, which would enable him to unleash a hundred times his combat strength.

Yao Lian’s cultivation definitely wouldn’t increase much in a month, but for Zhou Shu, it wasn’t difficult to raise his Total Annihilation to fifty times his combat strength in a month.

The premise was that he had to forge a new black-grade Great Destroyer Sword!

Now, he didn’t even have a ranked weapon.

If he had known earlier, he would have brought the few heaven-grade weapons hidden in the storeroom with him when he came.

Although these weapons were not forged by him, it was harmless to use them occasionally.

If he had a heaven-grade weapon previously, Yao Lian would probably be even more severely injured!

“Great General, you can make arrangements for contacting the armies of the various nations and the defense of the camp. You and my big brother can do whatever you need. If you need anything, just look for Deputy Pavilion Master Shi.

“Those demonic beast miners in the back mountain can be mobilized at any time. Great General, you still have some forgers under you, right? Lend them to me!”

At the thought that he didn’t even have a ranked weapon on him, Zhou Shu couldn’t sit still.

Not to mention anything else, he had to quickly forge the black-grade Great Destroyer Sword again. He still had to rely on it to increase his supreme ability Total Annihilation.

“Okay.”

What else could Meng Bai say? In this world, only the King of the South could use demonic beasts as miners.

“By the way, outside the camp, there’s a first-rank martial artist from the Demon Realm lingering. I didn’t dare to act rashly.” Meng Bai called out to Zhou Shu, who was heading for the forging room.
