Chapter 1671: Chapter 1529: Ready for Battle!
The Sea Clan’s military might, of course, does not stop there; a portion of the army fighting against the Catastrophe Sea Demon is also stationed in locations close to the human-controlled waters.
Now that the arrogance of the Catastrophe Sea Demon has been suppressed by the Sea Race, the Fishman Princess can completely redeploy this part of the Sea Clan Army to the waters of the Land of the New Moon.
Everyone looked at the Fishman Princess in awe for a long time, then their gazes turned back to Chu Mu.
They were eager to know how Chu Mu had managed to deal with the Sea Race, and even more so with a princess who wielded a formidable Sea Clan army at her command. Shen Mo had put in so much effort in negotiating alliances with other powers for mutual progress, yet when the Land of the New Moon was in trouble, these so-called allies turned a blind eye.
As a result, Chu Mu, after his own cultivation journey, had unexpectedly managed to bring back such a powerful ally upon his return—and from the Sea Race at that—leaving Shen Mo at a loss for words.
No wonder Chu Mu was able to speak so decisively about battle during the Great Hall meeting.
With the aid of the Sea Race, Wind and Rain City would not need too much reinforcement from them, allowing the majority of their strength to be deployed at the main battlefield, the East Madness Forest.
Now the main strength of the Land of the New Moon was concentrated in the East Madness Forest, but the number of enemies they had to face there was indeed too vast, a problem that must be addressed.
The Land of the New Moon was now severely isolated, with the vast majority of allies reluctant to lend a hand; apart from relentlessly seeking assistance in the hope of countering the Alliance Legion, the New Moon Land had almost exhausted all its strength.
Humble City dispatched some scattered experts to join our defensive forces as Free Soul Pet Trainers. Wang Jiang, Yellow Border, Falling Land… these truly trustworthy forces for the Land of the New Moon also opted for this discreet method of assigning some people to the Land of the New Moon to help guard this territory.
However, these forces are ultimately not enough; the difference is still too great, especially in the domain of the immortal level.
The Land of the New Moon has its share of Quasi Immortal and Low-grade Immortal level experts who can barely withstand the Alliance’s forces, but in the Intermediate Undying realm, only Yu Bo, Old Man of Cloud Gate, Bai Yu, and Chu Mu are present.
The Old Man of Cloud Gate stands guard at Heavenly Mountain Cloud Gate; Yu Bo, advanced in years, is in a declining stage and can only contend with a Sect Leader level person at most.
Bai Yu, like Chu Mu, is a cultivation fanatic, and he only has one Soul Pet, the Ice Pupil Kirin; he focuses on cultivating it, and his strength is the closest to keeping up with Chu Mu’s.
Indeed, if it weren’t for White Three offering up his Black Nightmare Demon Spirit Soul to Chu Mu, in the aspect of half-demons Chu Mu would even be inferior to Bai Yu, given that he has too many Soul Pets and has to attend to each one.
Of course, the most relieving part is that no Leader Level strong ones have appeared in this crusade against the alliance.
“I will call in another batch of Dominator Level Legions to the East Madness Forest Fortress City. Chao Lengchuan, Bai Yu, the defense of East Madness Forest will be entrusted to you…” Chu Mu said.
“Where are you calling them from? And, aren’t you going to stay with us at East Madness Forest? Those Immortal level experts are very difficult for us to deal with,” Chao Lengchuan said.
“If they want to attack us, there’s no need for us to sit around and wait for death,” said Chu Mu.
Everyone did not quite understand Chou Mu’s words and looked at him inquisitively.
Chu Mu did not elaborate. It’s not that he was deliberately keeping them guessing, but he wasn’t sure how much force he could summon to defend the East Madness Forest, and this force would definitely have a hard time blending into the human army; it must fight independently, like the Sea Race.
“Brother, are you going to use White One and the others?” Ning Man’er asked excitedly.
White One and the others were no longer as wild as before; they are now rulers of a grand World Dynasty, and managing a Nightmare Demon World Dynasty is not a simple matter. Thus, although Ning Man’er returned to the Land of the New Moon, she had not had many chances to see those nine Nightmare Demon guards since.
“White One, what White One?” Yu Bo asked, puzzled.
Yu Bo joined the Land of the New Moon later on and certainly didn’t know the history of the New Moon Land.
There was once a confrontation between the Nightmare Demon Army and Flower Demon Army in Wanxiang City; at that time, nearly the entire city was engulfed in Demon Flame and the Sea of Flowers. It was after that war that the Land of the New Moon gradually stepped towards today’s splendor.
Although by the current standards of strength, this battle was merely a clash between two Soul Pet Empires, as the Land of the New Moon rapidly developed, could the Nightmare Demon Empire that once spanned Wanxiang City still be considered the small Nightmare Demon Empire of the past?
Ever since the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm was excavated by Chu Mu, the Nightmare Demon Ruler and his lieutenants have been crazily expanding the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm.
Afterward, the master of the Southern Forbidden Region specially dispatched a group of Nightmare Demon strong ones to develop the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm. After so many years, the divisions of the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm in various regions have all been occupied by the Nightmare Demon leaders, and all these Nightmare Demon Empires have been united into a Nightmare Demon World Dynasty!
All the Holy Lands of the Land of the New Moon are open, with the sole exception of the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, which has always been closed off, denying access to non-members. Because the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm has become the domain of those Nightmare Demons, and the Nightmare Demon Palace has now become the strongest force in the New Moon Palace Army. Even if they want to expand further, it can just be entrusted to the Nightmare Demon World Dynasty.
However, for some reason, information on the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm was leaked, and some peoples have learned about the presence of Magic Spirits in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm.
Therefore, the long-closed Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm has become the most coveted Holy Land by many forces!
Of course, those people did not know that the entire Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm of the Nightmare Demon World Dynasty was ruled by Chu Mu as the king, which was absolutely obedient to Chu Mu’s orders!
The Land of the New Moon suffered hardships, subjected to the joint crusades of many major forces.
Those allied forces had surely estimated the amount of strength needed to breach the gates of the Land of the New Moon, but their estimates could only take into account the military strength of the human legions of the Land of the New Moon. They had completely overlooked, and would never have thought that Chu Mu also controlled a vast evil dynasty, which was located within the sealed and coveted Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm!!
“How could I have forgotten about this!!” Chao Lengchuan slapped his forehead.
Recall that time when Chu Mu was standing atop the Nightmare Demon Palace, commanding the mighty Nightmare Demon Army. His evil aura, his domineering aura, he was simply like a fiend that caused chaos in the world!!
At this moment, the old members all revealed joyful smiles. Indeed, with the development of the Land of the New Moon and the closure of the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, even the elders and ancients of the Demon Palace had forgotten that this power was absolutely obedient to Chu Mu’s commands!
“Chu Mu, how much strength can you summon from the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm?” Mu Qingyi asked.
In the East Madness Forest, just the Dominator Level strength alone was five to six thousand less than the crusading alliance. If the army Chu Mu could call upon could make up for this gap, then there truly was a battle to be fought!!
“I’m not quite sure myself; it’s been some time since I last visited the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm.” Chu Mu said, casting a meaningful glance at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu often cultivated in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, and he definitely knew more details than Chu Mu.
“I haven’t paid much attention to the legion’s strength. There should be about one or two thousand at Dominator Level, and there are a few at the Immortal Level. They ascended to the Immortal Level with us in the Evil Temple; they’ve received benefits not lesser than mine, so their strength now must be even stronger.” Bai Yu said.
Bai Yu’s breakthrough to the Immortal Level was through the power of the Evil Temple, and it was this same temple that caused an unexplained race mutation in White Three. The special nature of this Evil Temple was something that Chu Mu had not yet had time to explore. This time, when going to the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm to summon the legions, he could also take the opportunity to visit this Evil Temple.
“If there are two thousand, then seven thousand against ten thousand is not without a chance of winning,” Chao Lengchuan said.
“Should we mobilize the forces of my Xiangrong City?” Xia Zhixian asked softly.
“What forces does Xiangrong City have?” Chu Mu asked, quite puzzled.
Everyone else was also puzzled. The army of Xiangrong City, even the guards protecting the city, had been transferred to either East Madness Forest or Wind and Rain City. Where else could they have any forces to use?
“Since there are Nightmare Demons, why wouldn’t there be Flower Demons?” Xia Zhixian said with a slight upward curl of her lips.
Nightmare Demons, Flower Demons?
Those were the archenemies in the metamorphosis battle of the Land of the New Moon. Could it be that the Flower Demons permeating the entire city were still around?
“Following Empress’s instructions, I planted Flower Demon Seeds in both Wanxiang City and Xiangrong City, which have been nurtured for many years, especially in Wanxiang City, where Xuan Energy is pervasive. These Flower Demon Seeds have grown very well. If they are to protect the fortress city of East Madness Forest…” Xia Zhixian said.
“How come I didn’t know about this?” Chao Lengchuan raised his eyebrows.
“City Lord Xia, when did you arrange this? Moreover, we have not seen you performing any cultivation, have we?”
“Before we were in a hostile state, weren’t you also unaware that Flower Demons had already spread throughout the city?” Xia Zhixian retorted.
Chu Mu actually knew about this; Xia Zhixian, while still serving Yu Suo, continued cultivating the Flower Demon Empire in Xiangrong City and Wanxiang City.
However, now that Yu Suo, the Flower Demon Queen, had to follow Chu Mu’s orders, this Flower Demon Kingdom ultimately fell under Chu Mu’s control, so he had always tacitly consented to it!
Now these Flower Demon Kingdoms really came in handy. They could form a vast barrier of a sea of flowers within the East Madness Forest, charging a steep price from the crusaders even before they reached the battlefield!
Xia Zhixian’s words undoubtedly reinvigorated everyone once more.
In the meeting, when Chu Mu said they would fight, it was because they believed the Land of the New Moon was something worth defending with their lives, ready to engage in battle even if it meant certain death.
However, after Chu Mu’s return and revealing these unseen forces to them, they suddenly realized that the situation of this battle might not be as dire as they thought!!
Even facing the allied crusade of the Eight Great Powers, they could still take a stand in battle!!!
(Chapter Two delivered~~~ I will owe the third chapter for now, as I really feel dizzy and stuffy right now. Being sick is tolerable, but colds and fever are the worst; they make you drowsy and your head hot, which makes it the hardest to concentrate on writing~) (.)
