Chapter 672: Marching into the Blood Sea, One Battle Determines the Outcome
Chapter 672: Marching into the Blood Sea, a Battle to Decide the Outcome
Wen Rui proposed the condition of exchanging the relic for armor, but it wasn't that Chun Chun was being disgusting.
The West is so poor that even gold is considered a treasure, and they really can't come up with anything valuable to exchange.
After much thought, only the relics of eminent monks are worth blackmailing.
Relics are the unique specialty of Western religion. Apart from Western religion, other forces do not produce them.
The output is also relatively low, and the total annual output is even less than that of the mermaid pearls produced by the mermaids.
After all, only by burning a high monk can the sarira be condensed, and it takes at least fifty or sixty years for Western religions to train a high monk.
Wen Rui's need for the relic is mainly because this unique gem contains powerful spiritual power. Installing it on the Iron Man armor can make up for the shortcoming of the Iron Man armor's weak spiritual resistance.
If in the future we create a legion of Iron Man whose mortal bodies are on par with gods, even if the shell of strong interaction force material achieves physical immunity, mortals wearing armor will not be able to resist the impact of the divine consciousness of gods and Buddhas.
By taking this opportunity to extort a large number of relics, Wen Rui would not be afraid that his soldiers would turn against him under the intimidation of divine power when he led mortals to rebel against the gods in the future.
This fellow weighs 180 kilograms, 179 kilograms of which are rebellious, and he has an undying desire to destroy Heaven.
In fact, Wen Rui did not really want to overthrow the Jade Emperor's rule and sit on his throne.
Having a sword in your hand or not and having a sword but not using it are two different concepts. Even if you have no intention to rebel, you must have the power to rebel.
"That's right. You Western religions are probably used to taking advantage of your followers for free. This is a disease and needs to be treated."
Seeing Jin Zha and Mu Zha coming up, Wen Rui immediately put on a profiteer's face, showing a professional business smile, and said in a friendly manner: "If you want to exchange, go directly to the Tianjun quartermaster. One hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods. No cheating, unlimited supply, and after-sales service..."
The deal was done, and the monk army gained an extra layer of protection, greatly increasing their survivability on the battlefield. However, several Western religious generals felt unhappy.
I always feel like I've been ripped off by unscrupulous businessmen, and they're squeezing me dry.
If you want to get enough armor, you have to dig up the tombs of the ancestors of the Western religion first. Digging the tombs is not enough, you also have to grind the bones and scatter the ashes, and pick out the relics from the ashes to sell.
After distributing the nano armors, Wen Rui felt that the job was done. He said, "I have done my best. I have said and done everything I should have said. You guys should learn from this." He then hurriedly jumped onto the transport ship, started the jump engine, traveled through space, and disappeared cleanly and neatly.
When the generals heard that Wen Rui had escaped so quickly, they were relieved. This guy had suddenly announced that he would be at the front line in person, and the generals had no idea what he was planning.
What Huang Tianhua was most worried about was that he came here to seize power, relying on the power of his father and master to forcibly seize command and reap the fruits of the final decisive battle.
This possibility is very high. After all, the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers were all manufactured under the supervision of this guy, and he has control over all of them.
If Wen Rui threatened to immediately suspend the authority of the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers and turn all the weapons in the hands of the heavenly soldiers into fire sticks to threaten them, Huang Tianhua would really have no way to counter it.
Even if Huang Tianhua went to complain to the Jade Emperor, the impeachment procedure in the court meeting would take a lot of time.
Now that the army is at the brink of a bloody battle and a decisive battle is imminent, there is no time to go through judicial and administrative procedures.
Without the blessing of the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers, the Heavenly Army would immediately lose 99% of its combat power and would have no ability to defeat the Blood Sea Demon Soldiers. At that time, Wen Rui would be left to do whatever he wanted. Even if he wanted to settle accounts after the war, the victor would never be punished. As long as he led the troops to win the decisive battle, the Jade Emperor would have to accept it with a pinch of his nose, and instead blame Huang Tianhua for being incompetent and unable to suppress the mutiny.
The Western religious generals were afraid that Wen Rui, who was at the front line, would plot a vicious plan to harm their friendly forces, so they tried their best to preserve the heavenly army at the cost of sacrificing the monk army in the decisive battle.
This vicious plan can be considered an open conspiracy. Even if the generals of the Heavenly Army know that this is an immoral act, they will acquiesce and will not deliberately try to stop it.
It is a traditional virtue of the gods to prefer the death of a friend to the death of oneself. Upon hearing that Ricken had taken the initiative to jump out and take the blame, Huang Tianhua could not reject the proposal and forced his own soldiers to die for their friends. Otherwise, when he becomes the marshal of the heavenly army in the future, the soldiers may not obey him.
……
The coalition forces rested for more than a month. The Heavenly Army soldiers took the time to train and familiarize themselves with the nano armor. The Western religion also worked overtime to forge relics and exchange them for enough nano armor to arm the entire army.
Huang Tianhua asked three Bodhisattvas to calculate an auspicious day and time, and finally chose the right time to send troops. He removed the defensive magic shield, and the entire army set out, slowly advancing towards the sea of blood.
Less than ten miles after the army left the camp, they ran into a huge swarm of blood sea demon mosquitoes. Unlike the previous battles, the situation this time was clearly in favor of the coalition forces. There was no more tense stalemate. The coalition forces cut through the enemy like a hot knife through butter. They didn't even need to stop and set up formations for defense. They just hacked and killed all the way with great momentum.
The powerful defensive power of the nano armor makes every heavenly soldier seem like a god possessed. No matter the dense rain of bullets fired by the magic mosquitoes or the strong acid venom splashed by them, they cannot hurt the heavy armor at all.
Western religious monks do not need to recite the Medicine Buddha's Glass Mantra continuously, because the blood mist is blocked by the three-defense filtration system and the poison gas cannot penetrate into the armor at all.
The blood mist that obscured the vision lost its confusing effect due to the helmet's enhanced vision and biological radar function.
The AI assistant that comes with the armor can even give early warnings, reminding the wearer which direction the enemy will attack from and where to use which magical power that comes with the Ruyi Immortal Soldier to cause the greatest killing effect.
Even for the most lethal bomb bugs, the nano armor can withstand high-temperature flames. The heat insulation performance of the strong interaction force material is excellent, and the extremely bright silver mirror has a reflectivity of almost 100% for thermal radiation.
The Ruyi Immortal Soldiers are already very lethal to the Demonic Mosquitoes. The previous tense battle was mainly because the attackers were strong and the defenders were weak, and they had to take into account the casualties of their own soldiers, so they were slowed down by the large and endless swarms of insects.
Now every soldier seems to be blessed with an aura of invincibility, immune to all means of attack by the Zerg. The soldiers charge forward without any worries, and their offensive is as fierce as fire.
The army advanced at an extremely fast speed, covering a distance of two hundred miles in a flash, leaving behind only a mountain of insect corpses on the road.
According to the established battle plan, the coalition forces did not intend to annihilate all the demon mosquitoes. These Zerg that breed in the sea of blood grew extremely fast. It would be meaningless to kill as many as they could, as they would never be completely killed.
The only ultimate way to eradicate the mosquito plague is to purify the sea of blood, eliminate the filthy blood pools that breed the demon mosquitoes, and destroy the habitats of the demon mosquitoes.
When the coalition forces arrived at the coast of the Blood Sea, they were still surrounded by countless demon mosquitoes and continued to endure their frenzied attacks. The closer they were to the Blood Sea, the more agitated and crazy the mosquitoes became, like a dying beast, erupting with all its savage strength.
The three Bodhisattvas Manjusri, Guanyin and Samantabhadra rose into the air together and stood shoulder to shoulder on the lotus platform. Three pairs of divine eyes patrolled back and forth above the sea of blood, their minds highly concentrated and their vigilance raised to the highest level.
Right now is the most dangerous time of the battle. If the Blood Sea Ancestor Mosquito Taoist does not want to sit and wait for death and watch his lair being destroyed, he must take action himself.
Five hundred years ago, Taoist Mosquito had already reached the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. Now, his Taoism is probably even more advanced. Even if the three Bodhisattvas join forces, they have to be on high alert. If they are accidentally attacked by him, they will lose everything.
