Chapter 971 Solution Target
Chapter 971 - Solution Target
"The demon race is indeed at a disadvantage now, but my human race has a big problem too." Wang Boan looked at Gu Ji's indifference and his face darkened.
Gu Ji didn't really disbelieve his old friend. He was optimistic about the situation just now, and he was also joking to make his old friend relax and not suppress himself and worry too much.
But seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, and the other party was still so serious and cautious, Gu Ji did not dare to take it lightly, and his smile slowly faded.
"Have you got any news or found anything?" Gu Ji asked.
In his opinion, since Wang Boan was so worried, did he get some important news and then have such considerations?
"Now everyone is focusing on the throne of God. In order to accumulate merits, it is inevitable that problems will arise if all parties attack the demon race without authorization." Wang Boan frowned and said.
He did not get any news, but just felt this way from the clues.
The number of human armies is too large now, and with the addition of the armies of various sects and scattered cultivators, even Wang Boan cannot command them all.
It can be said that he is the commander of the human race, but he is still divided into several parts. For the armies of these parts, Wang Boan will only coordinate them in a unified manner when conducting major battles. In the rest of the time, they are actually commanded by themselves.
This command method has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that when encountering a surprise attack by the demon race, they can dispatch and respond by themselves. After all, even if Wang Boan commands remotely, it is inevitable that the order will not be delivered in time and the communication will be cut off by the demon race.
But the disadvantage is that in many cases, these parts are mostly self-governed. Sometimes, in order to win merits, they will inevitably be greedy for merit and attack without authorization.
In the past few decades, many battles with the demon race were actually caused by one party attacking without authorization.
However, according to the rules of the human coalition, the winner will not be held accountable. No matter why the two sides started the battle, if the human race wins in the end, then as the commander, he cannot be held accountable.
If he could have covered up these things before, but now that they are getting closer to the demon tribe, the power of these demon tribes is getting stronger and stronger, Wang Boan is not sure that he can deal with the unexpected in time.
But it is easy to give out power, but it is not easy to take it back now, especially when all parties have not made any mistakes.
Hearing Wang Boan's concerns, Gu Ji was silent for a while, and he had no way to deal with this situation.
All parties are competing for merits, so that they can get the god position they want when they are conferred the god position in the future. This is everyone's interest, and anyone's obstruction will cause conflict.
"Have you warned them?" Gu Ji asked.
Wang Boan shook his head: "It's meaningless!"
If he had the idea of warning all parties before, then seeing Gu Ji's attitude just now, he knew that all parties were in a similar situation, but there was no point in warning.
"I believe that you just do things like this and let this situation continue. Maybe you have a solution?" Gu Ji asked back. He didn't think this was Wang Boan's attitude.
After so many years of friendship, he knows Wang Boan very well. It's okay if he doesn't know some things, but since he has seen them, how can he really sit back and let them go?
"I need you to gather the commanders of all parties and the leaders of the major immortal sects to discuss the expedition!" Wang Boan said to Gu Ji with a serious face.
"Hmm?" Gu Ji was stunned at first. According to their expedition rhythm and habits, unless the demons start a war, there will be a period of recuperation after each expedition and attack on a demon territory.
During this time, part of the reason is to repair the army and let all the tired soldiers and injured soldiers recuperate, and the other part is to completely occupy the demon territory and leave no future troubles.
And it has not been long since the last war. Normally, it is not time to send troops yet. Why did Wang Boan suddenly bring up this matter?
He was confused at first, but then Gu Ji instantly realized Wang Bo'an's solution and said, "Are you going to start a war first to seize the initiative? But aren't you worried that this will accelerate the matter?"
He understood Wang Bo'an's plan. Since he was worried about what the demons were planning and that the parties would attack without authorization, it would be better to seize the initiative and send troops now.
After all, the demons were still waiting and planning, which meant that they were not fully prepared. This would catch the other party off guard and disrupt their rhythm.
Of course, there would be a possible disadvantage, that is, the sudden attack of the human race would also be a test for them, and there was a reason for it. If the arrogant soldiers went to war, if someone was greedy for merit and advanced recklessly, deep into the enemy's territory, the conflict would escalate.
"Even so, we should take the initiative in our hands. It is better to escalate the conflict when we are prepared than to suddenly find out one day that someone is dragging us into the water." Wang Bo'an said in a deep voice.
How could Wang Bo'an not have thought about this situation, but this possibility was at least within his expectations, which was better than being caught off guard.
According to the current situation, the attitudes and ideas of all parties, he would not be surprised if he woke up one day and heard that one party had started a war with the demon clan, or even suffered heavy losses from the demon clan's sneak attack.
Rather than such a result, he would rather take the initiative to start a war, so that no matter how the demon clan reacts or what dangers his side encounters, it is all within his expectations, and he can make plans in advance.
"In that case, then it's up to you!" Gu Ji nodded and agreed.
Then he took Wang Bo'an's order and arranged for people to notify all parties.
Wang Bo'an was worried about the current situation of the human race's prosperity, so he had those arrangements, but it did not mean that everyone's views were the same as his.
Seeing the continuous victories among the human race, many cultivators were very happy and complacent, thinking that the demon clan was not worth mentioning. In their eyes, the demon clan was the merit waiting for them to harvest and the stepping stone to their path to immortality.
Some sects and some independent cultivators are constantly repairing their magic weapons, refining elixirs to improve their strength, trying to win more merits for themselves and accumulate for their future position as gods.
The party where Wang Boan is in charge is fine. Under his strict orders, all parties obey his orders and do not easily provoke trouble.
However, in the other parties, even if they have military commanders, these commanders do not have Wang Boan's supreme prestige or his strength that is enough to make people afraid. Therefore, even if there is an order not to go out privately, there are still many strong men sneaking into the area around the monsters to hunt those lone monsters.
Merit is related to the position of gods, and the amount of merit is determined by how many monsters are killed in this war between humans and monsters.
Even if there is a ceasefire, many strong men are still hunting monsters by relying on their own strength. Their merits are constantly increasing. This is undoubtedly a kind of internal circulation.
Others have done it, and they just wait quietly, especially when they have enough strength, which few people can do.
"Old man, what have you gained recently?"
In a restaurant in the human city, Venerable Wen and Venerable Kumu actually gathered in a private room.
According to the human plan, every time they attack a regional pass of the demon clan, they will immediately build a human city there, set up a magic array, suppress the nodes, and guard against the sneak attacks of the demon clan.
After the construction of this city, many merchants naturally saw the opportunity to make a fortune, and various facilities were quickly laid out in the city.
In order to prevent the unexpected sneak attacks of the demon clan, the human army is not allowed to drink in the army, but for many monks, alcohol is almost indispensable, especially after the battle.
Therefore, whenever there is a truce, these cities, even in the newly built cities, various restaurants are the most popular places, and countless monks gather in them.
But no one expected that after decades of war, Venerable Kumu and Venerable Wen, who originally disliked each other, would actually gather together. There was no quarrel, but a little more friendship.
In the face of racial disputes, competition is allowed within the human race, but fighting is not allowed. Under this iron rule, even if there was a gap between Venerable Plague and Venerable Deadwood, they could only suppress it.
However, as they continued to fight, the two saved each other's lives when dealing with the powerful monsters, and then found that after the two sides joined forces, the killing of the monsters was more effective. Therefore, under the temptation of merit, the two completely put aside their past grudges and joined forces to harvest the monsters and accumulate merits.
Over the years, the two have joined forces, with Venerable Deadwood's Deadwood magical power and Venerable Plague's Plague Art. I don't know how many monsters have fallen in their hands, allowing the two to not only establish supreme prestige, but also plunder countless merits.
Now the combined reputation of the two is no less than that of the four brothers of the Mo family who served under Wang Bo'an, and even when facing the strongest, there is still a chance to compete.
In the last war, the two of them joined forces to fight against a powerful demon. They fought for a long time. Although they failed to suppress the powerful demon, they were able to escape unscathed. It can be seen that they have made great progress in recent years.
After the war, Venerable Wen had a great harvest, so he practiced in seclusion, while Venerable Kumu continued to hunt demons and plunder merits for himself.
As soon as they came out of seclusion, the two gathered here to discuss how to plunder merits next.
"Haha, while you were in seclusion, Venerable RB was honored to meet several lone demon kings, suppressed them, and then destroyed a tribe of demons. Now you have rushed into the top 900 of the merit list." Venerable Kumu said with a bit of pride on his face.
"Nine hundredth place on the merit list!" Venerable Wen was also shocked when he heard this, and an enviable look appeared on his face: "You are really lucky this time."
The merit list of the Conferred God includes the names of all the cultivators who participated in the Conferred God War. As long as they participated and made meritorious contributions, they can be listed.
However, there are countless cultivators participating in the Conferred God War. For them, if they want to seize the powerful immortal god position, they must make their merit ranking as forward as possible, so that they can compete for the god position they want in the future.
But the ranking competition on the Conferred God Merit List is too fierce. All the strong men in the human race are involved. In addition to the cultivators of the major forces of the immortal gate, some strong men among the independent cultivators will not give up.
Even the Plague Venerable and the Deadwood Venerable are both top-level in the eighth level of the Spirit Realm. When they join forces to deal with the demon race, their efficiency in harvesting merits is extremely high. However, compared with the strong men of the entire human race, they are still somewhat inadequate.
Since the emergence of the Conferred God Merit List, even though the two have never stopped or delayed, their ranking has never been among the top 1,000. The top 1,000 positions are almost exclusively reserved for the strongest men and disciples of the major forces of the immortal sect.
Their rankings have always been hovering outside the top 1,000, and sometimes they even fall back if they are not careful. This shows how fierce the competition is.
This time, the Deadwood Venerable has the opportunity to enter the top 900, which means that if he can maintain it, he will have the opportunity to compete for the position of the true god in the future.
You must know that according to the information obtained, the number of true gods in this Conferred God List is less than 400. If you exclude some people whose target god positions are similar and overlapping, there is a great possibility that the top 900 will obtain a true god position.
"The position of the righteous god, this position can hold power in the future and be on par with the true immortals. As long as the heaven does not fall, the world can last forever." When Venerable Wen spoke, it was difficult to hide his envy.
The position of the righteous god in the longevity position is completely different from those ordinary mountain gods and land gods. To put it bluntly, even if the Ming world returns to ruins one day in the future, as long as the heaven does not fall, they can still rely on the existence of the heaven.
In the eyes of many powerful people, obtaining the position of the righteous god is the real possibility of longevity, even if the world returns to ruins, it can still last forever.
"Alas, it's just luck. It may not be kept in the future." Venerable Ku Mu waved his hand modestly.
Now he is only temporarily in, and the ranking of the merit list is changing all the time. Until the last moment, no one dares to be sure that he will not be surpassed by the latecomers, so he has not blindly thought that he has won.
Of course, even though he said that, the pride in his words was still hard to conceal. After all, for him, being able to reach this point has surpassed countless opponents, and immortality is in sight.
"This time, my magical power has improved even more during my retreat. Do you have any good goals?" Venerable Wen asked Venerable Kumu.
This time, his magical power has improved even more during his retreat, and seeing Venerable Kumu's progress during this period, he couldn't help but prepare to take action.
