For the first time, Ye Zhen activated the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl. Although he was psychologically prepared for the enormous consumption when activating a Low Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he was still taken aback during the actual activation.
When Ye Zhen achieved the Realm King Realm, he used the World Fragments from the All Heavens Small World to forge the Mustard Seed Space within his body, materializing the Dark Palace.
Thus, Ye Zhen’s Dark Palace, whether in space or capacity, is ten times that of ordinary Realm King Realm experts.
The spiritual power possessed by Ye Zhen, now in the Half-step Dao Realm, is also ten times that of ordinary Half-step Dao Realm individuals.
In terms of spiritual power alone, it is already equivalent to the strength of an ordinary Early Dao Realm expert.
However, when activating the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl to perform spatial teleportation, even with all his spiritual power channeled into it, there seemed to be an insufficiency.
Fortunately, Ye Zhen had the Little Demon within him, allowing it to quickly inject spiritual power to facilitate activation, thus avoiding the failure of the first attempt at activating the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl!
Of course, this is also related to cross-world teleportation.
The further the teleportation distance of the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl, the more worlds crossed, the greater the consumption.
Under the light web interwoven by the Twelve Primordial Celestial Treasure Pearl, in just half a quarter-hour, Ye Zhen appeared again above Cairo Fortress.
Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi, having already received the news, greeted him early on.
However, even though they knew Ye Zhen would appear, seeing Ye Zhen manifest in the void without any warning, surrounded by intertwining light, Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi, who had already understood spatial divine abilities as Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals, were extremely shocked.
"What’s the situation now?" Ye Zhen stepped forward and asked.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, a message from the Secret Overseer states that the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhuiri, has already completed his troop mobilization, deploying one million elite troops, heading towards our Blood River Fortress under the banner of avenging Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong."
"Is it still just one million troops?"
Ye Zhen was somewhat surprised, but Liuu Feng handed over a Jade Scroll, "Reporting to the Grand Marshal, not only that, detailed intelligence is here."
Receiving the Jade Scroll, Ye Zhen glanced at it, and his eyebrows furrowed, "The Corps Leader Yue Dai of the Vanguard Army, previously serving under Seventh Prince Cong Yun, led twenty-five thousand remnants into the army under Second Prince Zhui Ri to serve!
If so, this could be troublesome!"
Ye Zhen raised his head, looking into the distance, his brows furrowed.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen asked again, "All this warning information came from the Secret Overseer? No news from the Heavenly Patrol Department?"
Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat peculiar, "Reporting to the Lord, exactly so!"
"However, the West Patrol always has conflicts with us. Under his leadership, the scouts from Heavenly Patrol Department near the Human Demon Battlefield, reports are slow by a few days or even hardly cooperative, which is normal."
"Furthermore, for this kind of spying news, the Secret Overseer is more convenient than the Heavenly Patrol Department. It’s also normal to have the Secret Overseer report it." Liuu Feng added.
But Ye Zhen frowned without speaking.
This is not normal.
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, conflicts and disputes among various departments and court officials are numerous, some even have generational blood feuds.
However, there remains a consensus within the Great Zhou Dynasty.
No matter the hatred, you can attack through legal channels, such as if you discover illegal matters, you can contact court officials for impeachment, or exaggerate minor mistakes, even creating traps, it’s entirely possible.
But neglect of duty is intolerable!
No matter the hatred or the conflict, at least in your duties, there can be no neglect or obstruction.
This is an unwritten rule.
Just like the Human Demon Battlefield Grand Commander, who has a grudge against Ye Zhen due to causing his son to lose his position, which is indeed significant.
But when Ye Zhen came to the Human Demon Battlefield for assistance, at most he could keep Ye Zhen waiting for a few days, yet he still had to handle procedures for Ye Zhen normally.
If wanting to retaliate against Ye Zhen, it must be through legal channels, like picking holes in military law, or secretly allowing people from Tianming Marquis Country to clash with Ye Zhen’s troops, then use military law to deal with Ye Zhen.
But regardless, these are within the rules.
If Ye Zhen falls for it, he deserves it.
If Ye Zhen predicts it and avoids the calamity, he is helpless!
But now, messages from the Secret Overseer have been coming for two days, while the scouts sent by Xi Qiangu from the West Patrol haven’t reported yet, the intention here is fairly sinister.
Yet solely relying on this, Ye Zhen cannot impeach the West Patrol.
However, because of this incident, Ye Zhen has taken note secretly.
Glossing over this matter, Ye Zhen’s focus returned to the war.
One hundred and twenty-five thousand troops, this number is not scary, such a vast military force cannot all press up at once.
Nonetheless, that Corps Leader Yue Dai of the Vanguard Army, having engaged Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea multiple times previously, already knew the realities of Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea.
With him there, it will be at least ten times harder for Ye Zhen to conduct another surprise attack.
This is one trouble.
Additionally, although Seventh Prince Cong Yun had claimed a million army prior, but after surprise attack attrition, continuous dispersal of troops, and splitting troops at various camps and along the grain paths, the actual forces deployed on the battlefield were merely six to seven hundred thousand.
But now, with this Vanguard Army dispersing to garrison various camps and key paths, the elite troops brought by the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhuiri, can be fully deployed on the battlefield.
The deployed forces are nearly double those Seventh Prince Cong Yun brought to attack.
This will impose immense pressure on Ye Zhen and his Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea.
"Let’s go, return to the camp, study and deduce the situation before making specific arrangements."
First to resolve is the fifty thousand Demon Clan captives brought from the Golden Moon World.
Such a massive amount of Demon Clan captives emerging suddenly will cause huge trouble.
Thus, Ye Zhen only took advantage of his position to obtain a large number of slave collars from the Barbarian Spirit Hall to control them initially, and slowly realize their value.
However, battles on the Human Demon Battlefield occur daily, and Ye Zhen quietly expanded his army of Demon Clan battle slaves from three thousand to ten thousand, which is understandable.
Furthermore, this slave camp is entirely made of elites, led by ten Demon Tribe Realm King Realm individuals, with one thousand Late-stage Dark Palace Realm as backbone, five thousand Early and Middle Dark Palace Realm and Late Stage Divine Communication Realm Demon Tribe as flesh, forming an elite slave camp.
Currently, it is entrusted to Gu Tieqi for training to ensure they obey commands on the battlefield, following orders without exception.
To thoroughly intimidate, Ye Zhen promised Gu Tieqi a twenty percent training mortality rate!
In other words, during training, should there be anyone disobedient, they may be executed on the spot as a deterrent, with the number allowed for execution totaling up to twenty percent!
Heads of those executed can also be used for military merit exchanges.
Moreover, Ye Zhen this time in the Golden Moon World harvested a vast number of Demon Clan heads, although the grade is not high, but the sheer number is overwhelming.
Only the sheer quantity is too immense, Ye Zhen cannot quickly use them for transactions to obtain needed resources lest it attracts attention from above.
That’s millions of Demon Clan heads; even now, after the Demon Clan’s thousand-year war, known troops deployed are merely twenty million.
Can only wait until the war starts, and slowly sell them off.
With Ye Zhen’s return, the most elite Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals were immediately sent out far away to investigate the latest intelligence, allowing Ye Zhen to determine his strategy.
And five days after Ye Zhen’s return to Blood River Fortress, the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, exerted immense effort to redeploy thirty thousand elite guards and twenty-six Dao Realm experts. Utilizing the Ancient Teleportation Formation, under the command of Left Commander of the Bodyguard Yue Yuan, they stormed into the Golden Moon World, planning to kill Ye Zhen.
Yet upon entering, Yue Yuan was dumbfounded.
The entire Golden Moon World was piled with corpses, blood flowed like rivers, yet Ye Zhen was nowhere in sight.
After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that Ye Zhen had already left five days prior before their army entered.
Helplessly, Left Commander of the Bodyguard Yue Yuan could only compile the current state and losses of the Golden Moon World into a Jade Scroll, delivering it to the Fifth Crown Prince Poyue.
In the camp of the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, upon receiving Yue Yuan’s detailed Jade Scroll, he restrained himself, pressing down his anger while reading one report after another within the scroll.
The more he read, the paler his face became, and the angrier his expression grew.
Before he even finished two-thirds, the chest of the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue, began to undulate uncontrollably, his singular eye glaring with rage, and a mouthful of golden blood arrow burst forth!
