Chapter 642: Host Unhappy

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

However, just in case he really had to prepare for it.

In recent years Gantian Mountain had built a decently strong navy. They obtained many resources from attacking the other Gantian cities. Now they already have 300 Five-Tooth Ships and also 10 Seven-Tooth Ships.

However, he didn’t know if they were the opponent of the Night Demon Race Space Ships.

Zong Shou thought back to Shi Ruolan, she should be 14 now. She was still 2 years away from the battle that gave her fame.

He remembered that Shi Ruolan at that time hadn’t come into contact with Cloud Ships. However, during the first battle she brought several broken and tattered ships to plunder and robbed a merchant ship group that wasn’t weak.

However, at this moment Shi Ruolan’s environment was different from that era.

She couldn’t grow under his care, like that of a greenhouse. However, she had asked Hanfang to teach her about the art of war, especially ship battles.

Despite this, who knows what the effects of solely learning theory might be. It really made him nervous…

However, he still needed to pick Ruolan back. He hadn’t seen her for a long time and missed her a lot.

In the past, Ruolan didn’t even want to leave him for a single moment.

Now that they were separated for several months who knew what it would be like.

He remembered that Tanqiu had said that Hanfang told him to return to the Common People Vast Habitat when he was free.

Thinking about it, this matter was a problematic one and made him speechless.

Zong Shou sighed, continuing to drive the Royal Demon Flying Shuttle forward.

At this moment, he was just 600-700 miles away from Lianyun Island, it was just a blink of an eye away.

Looking outside, there was an unbroken island chain. There were roughly 400, each not small and the widest one was just 100-200 miles wide.

At this moment there were army camps all over the island. Many stone platforms were standing on the islands. Many Five-Arm and even Seven-Arm Crossbows pointed into the sky.

The 10 arranged at the center was the most eye-catching. Not only was it 3200 feet tall, each platform had a full 10 Nine-Arm Giant Crossbows!

Zong Shou took a rough glance, only to see lots of Spiritual Patterns drawn above. They were all Spiritual Artifact Grade, in terms of penetrative ability they were no weaker than the Energy Destroying Crossbow.

It wasn’t wrong to say that the Central Continent had huge resources and that Great Shang was really rich.

This place was closely guarded. When Zong Shou’s Shuttle rushed over, there were numerous sharp and cold arrows pointed at it. Until Zong Shou sent down a message talisman did they shift away.

When Zong Shou landed on the largest island he saw that there were 70,000 armored men standing there holding weapons. They gave off a sharp aura, ready to fight.

He couldn’t help but frown, feeling that he didn’t really think this through. If he knew that this was the case he should have brought the Blood Cloud Cavalry over.

At this moment, if these people had any nefarious intentions, even though they couldn’t do anything about him, the few women in the shuttle might suffer heavy injuries.

He stood amongst these tens of thousands of troops and waited for 15 minutes but still did not see the main commander.

The aura of these 70,000 troops was growing. Numerous knife-like gazes focused on him like they were just awaiting an order to be able to tear him into shreds.

Zong Shou laughed coldly to himself, were they trying to show off their might?

He thought that perhaps the Great Shang General wanted to try to grind down and suppress his flame before they met.

The scene in front of him made him unknowingly have these thoughts.

He then thought back. Actually, the Gantian Mountain Great Shang envoys were really anxious and sincere recently.

However, it seemed like the General here had a different view.

Was he really not afraid he would anger him and that Zong Shou would just not bother?

Not making a sound, Zong Shou waited impassively. Another hour passed and then a group of people walked out from the camp in the distance.

The one at the front wore red armor. He was only 7 foot tall. His back and waist was really wide, each step he took riled up the wind, his red face was smiling gently.

However, when he walked up in front of Zong Shou he just cupped his fist.

“Great Shang Lianyun Chief Commander Weihai greets Gantian Mountain Ruler. I was busy with military matters and couldn’t rush over in time, please don’t blame me for it!”

“How would I dare!”

Zong Shou gave a fake smile, telling him that it was okay. Then, he smiled and looked around, praising, “The troops of your country are really elites. Standing here it really sends a chill down my spine…”

Weihai acted like he didn’t understand the mocking tone in his words. He spread out his hands behind him,”You all can follow me, the people under me have already prepared your living quarters!|

Zong Shou smiled, standing on the spot, not planning on following. He came over this time just to look at the situation.

He suddenly felt that there was something weird and so he looked back. He saw Kong Yao, who had just stepped out from the Shuttle, with a startled expression on her face, looking right at a particular person.

Zong Shou’s eyebrows rose and he followed her gaze. Then, he saw a 20-year-old male in full armor standing behind Weihai. He looked quite similar to Kong Rui and Kong Yao.

Weihai also felt that the atmosphere wasn’t right and he turned around and looked at the two of them. Then he smiled, “So it is a meeting of brother and sister, I didn’t notice that. I have heard of the name Concubine Kong as recently you have become really famous. If you hadn’t headed to Gantian, you would be the one working under me. Since you are the sister of my subject, it should be easier to get close…”

Zong Shou frowned. He found these words from Weihai really annoying.

The young General scoffed coldly, “Commander doesn’t know that half a month ago my Kong family had a meeting to kick this woman and her father out of the family. Such a ruler, holding my brother as hostage, even breaking his arm. Such a vicious woman, she isn’t worthy of being in the Kong Family!”

Zong Shou was startled and turned around to see her body shudder, her face white as paper.

He felt really weird, chased out of the race? Why did that happen? Did he miss something?

Thinking back to the time after Kong Yao died in the battle and what the Kong Family did, Zong Shou understood.

“There was actually such a matter?”

Weihai was also shocked, smiling apologetically,”I didn’t know about that!”

Seemingly not knowing what to say, he hesitated for a while as if he wanted to say something. However, the young General laughed coldly, filled with mocking intent, “Ruler has brought so many rulers here, what do you think this place is? You came to play? Was Ruler like this when Donglin was at war? If that was really the case I don’t know how you managed to unify Donglin. I also think that your country won’t last for long…”

Along with these words, a sharp energy surged over.

After he said these words, even Weihai found it too much, he frowned, “Shut up! Do you what status the Ruler has and to think you dare to speak like that! How bold!”

He bowed toward Zong Shou, “My subject is arrogant and disrespectful, I will punish him heavily to give you an explanation.”

Zong Shou sighed and turned around, only to see that Jingyin, Zhao Yanran and the others had gotten off the Shuttle.

Even he found it inappropriate so it was no wonder these people would say such words.

Focusing on beauties and not on the job as well as underestimating important matters were in fact signs of a deteriorating country. These words weren’t wrong.

The only thing he didn’t like was that that the person scolding Kong Yao was too vicious.

He also felt regret and shame since the matter regarding the Kong Family father and daughter was actually his fault.

Those methods were indeed a little too much. That girl probably hated him to the bone now.

“It doesn’t matter!” Zong Shou shook his head, directly asking,”I can’t stay too long in Lianyun. I just want to ask what is the situation here? After my army arrives, where should they set up camp? Which side will provide provisions?”

Gantian Mountain prepared a lot of resources but after all they were the guest army and were here to provide support. The Huizhou cities couldn’t not pay anything and let Gantian pay for everything.

The moment he asked this, Weihai’s had a weird expression on his face, “Ruler, based on what I know, the Huizhou Cities have been wrapped up in war for many years and have suffered heavy losses. They don’t have the strength to provide for your army. Naturally, it is best if Gantian sends troops over. There are 4-5 islands southwest, you can place your troops there!”

Zong Shou was startled, he then looked beyond Weihai, deep in thought.

They had various dresses, but they were all dressed in expensive clothing, wearing things that normal people couldn’t even imagine.

They weren’t like people of the Great Shang Army but their aura wasn’t weak.

Even the lowest one was a Martial Ancestor.

There were also a few Taoists who stood to the side impassively.

Weihai saw his gaze and instantly laughed, “These are the few City Lords of Huizhou Island, as well as Xuantong, Lingming, Luotian these 3 sect envoys. Does the Ruler want me to introduce them to you?”

Zong Shou was shocked, he could sense the mocking and disdain in their eyes.

He knew that Weihai was probably acting for these few people to see.

Since the host of this place was unhappy with him then he would be asking for trouble to remain here and there was nothing he could do to help.

He instantly shook his head, “There is no need! Since the situation here is still peaceful then I will take my leave. I heard that there are many great sights here in Huizhou, alot of beautiful scenery. I will go and enjoy and play around so that I didn’t waste this trip…”

Weihai had no intention of leaving him and said a few more words, but he didn’t mean any of it at all, allowing Zong Shou to drive the Royal Demon God Shuttle up once more.

Looking as the light disappeared into the cloud layer, Weihai shook his head, “Kong Yao is a waste…”

“Just a small General, why does Commander have to feel that way?”

It was the teen General who spoke, his voice filled with disdain, “Although she wins each battle, she wastes rations and resources, a problematic general! Of the few Elders of the Ministry of War, which one of them isn’t annoyed by her? A girl being untalented is a virtue, as one you should stay in the palace, marry and then teach kids. She doesn’t have much skill but still wants to show off…”
