Chapter 415: A Man With Mines, Don’t Ask Me (1)
Boom!

Meng Bai held the Mountain Suppressing Sword and slashed a demonic beast, forcing it back into the blood vortex. A blush flashed across his face as he quietly swallowed the mouthful of blood in his mouth.

Because he was holding the Mountain Suppressing Sword in hand, he couldn’t retreat, not even a step!

“Great General, let me take over for a while.” Mei Wushang held the Heavenly Halberd and moved forward, his burly body blocking the blood vortex.

Meng Bai didn’t insist. He stepped back and silently circulated his spiritual essence.

The passage was getting smaller and smaller, and the cultivation of the demonic beasts coming out was getting lower and lower. Mei Wushang should be able to guard it.

Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, the number of demonic beasts that could come through this passage was limited. Otherwise, if the demonic beasts really attacked him, he wouldn’t have the face to continue using the Mountain Suppressing Sword.

Boom!

A figure descended from the sky.

“King of the South!” Meng Bai saw that it was Zhou Shu and greeted him.

…

“Great General, what’s the situation here?” Zhou Shu looked good and was in a good mood.

“Everything’s fine,” Meng Bai said. When he was dealing with the counterattack of the Demon Realm army at the beginning, he had suffered some internal injuries, but it was nothing. They had defended this place!

“General Wang Mu and General Tang Cheng have led armies to eliminate the remnants of the Demon Realm army in this world. We’re guarding this place and haven’t let any demonic beasts in,” Meng Bai said with a trace of pride. He didn’t let the Mountain Suppressing Sword down.

Zhou Shu looked at him strangely. Why are you so proud when it’s just guarding the passageway?

Is Great Xia’s supreme-ruler of War so shameless?

Those who don’t know better would think that you destroyed the Demon Realm.

Meng Bai noticed Zhou Shu’s gaze and blushed slightly.

What was he so proud of in front of a person who had single-handedly chased back an army of a million demons?

“King of the South, the Demon Realm army in this world is no longer a concern. Do you think we…” Meng Bai whispered.

Meng Bai knew about the crisis and was very worried about the situation in the Ten Nations.

The elite soldiers of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament were all in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, and the Ten Nations were currently empty.

“We can’t go back.” Zhou Shu shook his head. He could send the Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm because of Emperor Wei Wu’s many years of planning.

Otherwise, Zhou Shu wouldn’t have been able to open up the passage to the Demon Realm.

Now that the fake imperial cauldron had already exploded and the contaminated blood qi in it had been cleaned up by Zhou Shu, it was impossible to do it again.

If they wanted to return to the Ten Nations Continent now, they had to wait three years.

“You don’t have to worry, Great General. A year here is a day outside. Three years is only three days,” Zhou Shu said. “In three days, even if the Demon Realm army invades the Ten Nations, they won’t cause much damage.”

Meng Bai nodded. “That will have to do.”

His gaze fell to the vortex that was now only ten feet wide.

“King of the South, the plan to besiege Wei to save Zhao…” Meng Bai asked solemnly.

It was impossible to return to the Ten Nations Continent directly, but they could take a detour to the Demon Realm…

This was similar to Zhou Shu’s initial suggestion. They would besiege Wei to save Zhao—attack the base camp of the Demon Realm and force the Demon Realm to withdraw from the Ten Nations Continent.

“According to Prince Cao, the Demon Realm might be stronger than we expected. I’m afraid it’s impossible to besiege Wei and save Zhao.”

Although Meng Bai had just learned the term ‘besiege Wei to save Zhao’, he understood the principle that one had to save themselves by attacking the enemy’s base. In terms of military tactics, it was indeed a brilliant move.

But the problem was that with their strength, they probably couldn’t make the enemy have no choice but to let them off.

If the strength of the Demon Realm was really as powerful as Cao Chenyang had said, they would be like moths to a flame if they attacked the Demon Realm…

They didn’t even need to withdraw their troops to attack the Ten Nations. They could directly eat them alive.

“I know that the Demon Realm is powerful,” Zhou Shu said. “But we’re not bad either. We can discuss this matter slowly.

“There’s something more urgent I want to do now.”

“What is it?” Meng Bai asked in confusion.

“Mining!” Zhou Shu said seriously.

…

Zhou Shu had envied those with mines the most in his previous life.

In this life, he finally had mines of his own.

With mines, of course they had to be dug!

His obsession with mining had sunk into his bones.

After hearing Zhou Shu’s arrangements, Meng Bai knew that Zhou Shu wasn’t just talking about mining.

Other than letting Meng Bai continue to guard this place, he had arranged for everyone who could be mobilized to mine.

Xiao Jianghe, a former Forging Master and the current commander of the criminal army, was given a new title by Zhou Shu.

The Commander of the Mining Army!

Xiao Jianghe was once a Forging Master, so he was extremely familiar with forging materials and was an expert in identifying ores.

He was the perfect man to lead the mining.

Xiao Jianghe was also a little helpless. The Criminal Army originally wanted to atone for their sins with death. They were already prepared to die with the Demon Realm army.

In the end?

Without even fighting a battle, the Demon Realm army was finished!

Their current mission had actually become mining!

Not that they looked down on mining, but in comparison, mining was too easy…

Besides, it wasn’t dangerous.

Compared to fighting the Demon Realm army to the death, mining was simply leisure and relaxation for them.
