Chapter 662 It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words
"Father, why are you withdrawing your troops?"
Huang Tianhua suppressed his anger and spoke word by word: "It's just that the investigation encountered obstacles. The kid made a reasonable response and did not rush into anything. Instead, he made steady progress. Why would he retreat without a fight?"
"Tianhua, take a look at this video first."
Huang Feihu patiently took out his tablet and played the video that Wen Rui sent him.
The video being played was the scene of the devil mosquito killing the heavenly soldier and sucking its brain, and also the subsequent scene of the beast soldier modulation tanks scattered along the coast of the blood sea captured by the five senses synchronously after the nanorobots parasitized the devil mosquito.
"Emperor Wen used his Heaven-Severing Creation ability to complete the front-line reconnaissance in the rear. According to his analysis, the Blood Sea Demon Clan has changed a lot in recent years, and its combat power far exceeds that of ordinary demon soldiers."
Huang Feihu explained while showing the video data: "The Wen Zi Military Strategy says: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. No one knows himself better than Wen Rui, who created the new combat system of the Heavenly Army. No one knows the Blood Sea Demon Mosquitoes better than him. The information about the Demon Mosquitoes he listed on the screen of the information center is hard for me to understand."
Wen Rui adhered to the principle of "there is nothing that cannot be told to others" and really did not hide anything. He handed over all the reliable information to Huang Feihu to help him persuade Huang Tianhua to withdraw his troops.
In a sense, this is also an open conspiracy. They know for sure that some people just don't want to hear good words, and they oppose just for the sake of opposing. The more the enemy opposes, the more they feel they are right.
It’s like in reality a certain mysterious superpower proposed to ban killer robots, but it ended up attracting strong opposition from all the ignorant countries.
It was made clear in advance and all the warnings that should have been given had been given, but you still insisted on seeking death and causing a huge disaster. It is not Wen Rui's fault at all.
"Since he believes that with the current strength of the Heavenly Army, conquering the Sea of Blood will result in more losses than gains, it is prudent to withdraw the troops in time and take a long-term view!"
"There are millions of demon mosquitoes in the sea of blood. It is normal for there to be some special elites among them."
Huang Tianhua watched the video, and although he was a little nervous, he still said stubbornly: "When I was attacking the Shura Kingdom, I also encountered a very powerful Shura demon general, and in the end, didn't I lead the army to a great victory?"
"According to what Wen Rui said, this demon mosquito is just an ordinary demon soldier, definitely a special individual. The millions of demon mosquitoes in the sea of blood all have such terrifying strength. If they come out in full force, our army will not be able to resist them at all!"
"Father, you believe whatever Wen Rui says. Is he your son, or am I your son?"
Huang Tianhua couldn't help it and exploded, roaring: "Back then, you always said that I should have a son like the young Tai Shi, and taught me to learn more from Wen Rui, and always favored other people's children! Now my son is not only the reckless and brave general he was back then. Over the years, I have also studied the Art of War and led troops to capture strongholds. But you still look at me with the old eyes and think that I am inferior to Wen Rui in every way."
Huang Feihu looked stunned and said, "Tianhua, there is no comparison between you and Wen Rui. Don't think of competing with him. As a father, I also look upon him as an equal..."
"enough!"
Huang Tianhua felt that his heart was filled with boundless resentment and he had nowhere to vent it. He shouted, "Your Excellency the Military Supervisor, please be polite when doing your job! I am now the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army. If I make any mistakes while commanding the army, please point them out. I will correct them if I have made any mistakes, and encourage myself if I have not."
"When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the emperor. As a military supervisor, you interfered with the marshal's decision and insisted on retreating. You are cowardly before the battle. Is this in line with the way of governing the army?"
Huang Feihu was choked and speechless. Logically, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army was indeed the supreme commander. Although the military supervisor had the responsibility of supervision, he should not interfere with decision-making. Otherwise, the military orders would be issued twice, the priorities would be unclear, and the army would be in chaos.
Huang Feihu also came from a veteran military background, so he certainly understood such a simple truth. Even though the commander-in-chief was his son, there was no distinction between father and son in the army, and the laws were as strict as the sky.
"Alas..." The old general could only sigh deeply, lowered his head helplessly, and said: "Cause and effect are cyclical, and everything has its destiny. When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his father. This is all I can say as a father. You should take care of yourself..."
"Emperor Dongyue, why do you want to shake the morale of the army just because of Wen Rui's alarmist words?"
The one who spoke was Guanyin Bodhisattva. Several high-ranking officials of the Western Buddhist Army were also in the command hall of the fortress. They had abandoned their own tents and moved into the Heavenly Army Fortress.
After all, the scouts sent out by the Western Church also died too quickly. Any commander with a little vigilance would not station his troops in a defenseless tent camp.
"As the saying goes, if the devil is one foot taller, the Tao is ten feet taller. The combat power of the Blood Sea Demon Soldiers is indeed far beyond our expectations, but they are not invincible."
Bodhisattva Guanyin looked solemn and smiling as she held a flower. She looked like a person who had experienced many ups and downs. Her tone was calm and peaceful. "Thinking back to the time when Master Tongtian set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, it was said that it could not be broken except by the Four Saints. We only had twelve golden immortals, and the situation was precarious. That time and that moment are just like this moment."
"I have read the information about the demon soldiers, and Wen Rui's worries are somewhat reasonable. The attributes of the demon soldiers have reached the realm of true immortals, and their strength and speed are even slightly higher. An ordinary soldier can rival a heavenly general. It is indeed extraordinary."
"But that demon soldier only has a strong body, but no cultivation to match it. His innate foundation is insufficient. He is an evil offspring that was catalyzed by rapid development. His explosive power is amazing, but it cannot be sustained for long."
What the Bodhisattva said made a lot of sense. It was because he saw the essence through the phenomenon. Although the beastmen catalyzed by genetic modulation were strong, they had actually overdrawn the source of life. Not to mention their cultivation and Taoism, even their lifespan was greatly shortened. They would only live for one or two years at most before their genes collapsed and they would die.
In the eyes of Western Buddhist monks, they are just a group of incomplete beasts who are not even qualified to be saved. They are at the bottom of the contempt chain and are all paper tigers that appear ferocious but are actually false.
"No matter how many of these rootless beasts there are on the battlefield, they cannot break through our sect's Vajra Formation or Arhat Formation."
Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara spoke eloquently: "When the time comes, our army will focus on defense and hold the line, while the enemy will focus on attack and exterminate the demons. We will surely defeat the enemy and win."
"That Wen Rui... this person has a deep prejudice against our religion. Judging from his motives, he does not want the relationship between Heaven and the Western religion to ease and cooperate closely. If the coalition forces win this battle and the alliance between the two sides is solidified, his wishful thinking will be in vain."
Wei Tuo, the commander of the Western Buddhist monk army, also stood up and sneered, saying, "It is not difficult to understand why he was instigating a retreat before the battle even started. Emperor Dongyue, I know you are worried about your relatives, and that is why you are so worried that you have lost your determination to forge ahead."
"I once fought alongside Marshal Huang Tianhua. He was indeed immature at that time. But now I see him leading the Heavenly Army. He has completely changed and made great progress. He is well-organized and has a steady command. He commanded 100,000 people to build a huge fortress in just three days."
Wei Tuo's tone was full of praise: "I am no match for such a method. Fighting side by side with such a reliable ally, no matter how ferocious the demon is, what is there to fear?"
