Although it was a hastily brought forward ceremony, with Wu Chijin's strategic planning, the welfare students of the country's ruler were still completed under the solemn witness of the diplomatic missions of the various countries. With strong enemies surrounding them outside and many people arguing internally, the welfare students officially shouldered the heavy burden of ruling the countries in the mountains.
The welfare student knew that the most important thing now was to lead the countries of Mount Wanshan to fight against the enemies hiding in the dark. He needed more confidence and a more effective strategy to convince the countries to follow him. Especially since the princes of the countries had been attacked repeatedly by the enemies in the past two days, they were panicking. Everyone had different opinions on how to deal with the enemies. Therefore, how to make the countries of Mount Wanshan agree was the most important thing for the welfare student.
In the past, when the welfare student was still the crown prince, the old king had shouldered the heavy responsibility. Wu Chijin, Yue Qingqiu, Nian Yongjun, and the others had stood on the front line to bear the responsibility. But from now on, they could only stand behind him and let him stand on the front line to face the storm in front of him.
Very soon, the first wave had already arrived in front of him. The one who spoke was the Crown Prince of Leng Chuan, Prince Kanda. The Leng Chuan Kingdom was the first small country to submit to the Kun Peng Kingdom, and Prince Kanda had even gone to the various diplomatic missions to persuade the other countries to submit to them to strengthen their momentum and scare off the enemy.
"King Fu, everyone went to the Crescent Country to congratulate you on your birth. Unexpectedly, so many brothers were attacked in the Crescent Country and are now trapped in the Crescent Country. I wonder if King Fu has any countermeasures?”
Although this sentence was not a denouncement, it clearly placed all the blame on the Crescent Country. If it was a denouncement, they could still refute it to clarify the responsibility. However, such a soft and hard statement made it difficult for the welfare students to deal with.
Before he could respond to Kuanda's question, the crown prince of An Ran Kingdom, Prince Yan Xiangqun, had already chimed in. Although An Ran Kingdom had never attached itself to any faction, had not suffered any casualties, and had always been a good friend of the Crescent Country, at this moment, they had raised their question without any regard for their feelings.
"King Fu, the old king has been in power for more than fifty years, but he has never let the countries in the mountains suffer such a loss. Although we are all brotherly countries and there is no reason for anyone to blame anyone, we still have to give an explanation for this matter.”
Wu Chijin looked at the welfare student's eyes. He knew that his cousin had always been strong and determined, but not good with words. The etiquette during the code process was just a superficial effort. Now, the sharp questioning was the real plan of each family. Wu Chijin was worried that he would not be able to adapt for a moment or lose his composure.
Just as Wu Chijin was about to respond to the Leng Chuan Country and An Ran Country on behalf of the welfare student, the welfare student had already spoken. He said directly and confidently to the crown princes,"I understand your concerns. Just a moment ago, I confirmed that the enemy's target was Crescent Moon Mountain. The enemy had wild ambitions, and after many years of effort, they still couldn't enter. They could only take advantage of this gap to use despicable methods.
The other party's intention was to destroy our common Holy Mountain. They chose to launch an indiscriminate sneak attack outside the Crescent Country to sow discord between the firm friendships of the Myriad Mountain Countries and then wait for an opportunity to break them down one by one. I believe that no one will be provoked by such tricks.
Why did the opponent only dare to hide in the dark and hurt people? Why didn't he dare to declare war with his name? They only dared to attack in the middle of the night and did not dare to fight openly? The other party's underhanded methods would not be able to escape the sharp eyes of everyone present.
"Before this, I wasn't the ruler of the Crescent Moon Country yet, so it wasn't convenient for me to order the three armies to lead the Myriad Mountains Country to fight against the enemy. Thus, I ordered the Dharma Birth to be held in advance. This is the reason.
Next, I will represent the Crescent Country to declare war on the enemy. I hereby swear that I will find these despicable people who stabbed people in the back and give justice to the Crown Princes who were harmed.
As soon as the ceremony is over, the Crescent Country will hand out their flag to the three armies at the front of the arena. I have already ordered the pavilion master of the Sky High Pavilion, Yue Qingqiu, to immediately leave the city to pursue the enemy. If everyone here is willing to fight side by side with me, the guards of the diplomatic missions of the other countries are welcome to go out with the Crescent Country.
"When your guards are fighting the enemy side by side with the Crescent Country, you can rest assured to stay in the Crescent Country. The welfare students will stand at the front to protect your safety. Before the welfare students fall, they will not let your friends be injured.
If you are not willing to fight alongside the Crescent Country now, it doesn't matter. It doesn't mean that you aren't friends. After the lunch, the broadsword team will immediately escort you down the mountain. If you want to wait until the enemy is eliminated before leaving, it doesn't matter. The Crescent Country will be responsible for the food supplies needed by the diplomatic missions and guards of the various countries during this period.”
After the welfare student finished speaking, the crown princes looked at each other speechlessly. They didn't expect the welfare student to say such a thing at this time, and his words made the crown princes unable to question him.
What was even more amazing was that the welfare student was clearly willing to fight side by side with him in order to obtain the protection of the Crescent Country. Otherwise, he would leave immediately. The Crescent Country only guaranteed the safety of the mountain. If they were attacked on the way back, then they would leave it to fate.
Although the welfare student said that he could continue to stay in the Crescent Country and receive protection, if he was not willing to express his support for avenging his ally, how could he still have the face to continue staying under protection?
When the officials of the Crescent Moon Mountain saw the crown princes disregarding their friendship and starting a war of words with the country ruler, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. However, after hearing the country ruler's response, everyone was inexplicably happy. They were glad that the new country ruler had such courage. It was indeed a blessing for the Crescent Moon Country.
Especially Wu Chijin. One must know that he had been famous among the countries in the mountains for many years and had always been a prominent figure in the Crescent Country. In the past, because Wu Chijin was promoted by the old country ruler, no matter how famous Wu Chijin was, he would not be criticized for his high achievements. However, the new ruler was unknown in the past and rarely showed his brilliance. Everyone had doubts about the future. Today, the welfare students had their first test and officially announced to the world that their era had arrived. From now on, the leading figures of the Crescent Country would be the welfare students.
After the welfare student's speech, Prince Mutong was the first to stand up and express his stance. He said," Thieves who stab people in the back are detestable, especially those who kill innocent people and play tricks. The Five Beast Kingdom will definitely follow the Crescent Country to avenge their brothers. King Fu, what should the Five Beast Kingdom's diplomatic mission do? We will cooperate fully, and we must also include Mu Tong's blade. Don't let me stay here and wait for someone to protect me. I want to go and take revenge for my brothers.”
Mu Tong's words caused many people to cheer. As one of the leaders of the two major groups of countries, Prince Mu Tong's declaration made his followers follow suit immediately. Many of the crown princes of the diplomatic missions stood up to support Mu Tong. The scene was as lively as an oath ceremony.
Seeing this, Prince Xingyue did not fall behind. He said," Since the Blessed Kingdom's King has called for it, we will naturally support it with all our might. The Kun Peng Kingdom's diplomatic mission will be under the command of King Fu. At the same time, the rations and supplies will also be arranged by King Fu. We must avenge our brothers from all over the world and do our part to protect the Holy Mountain."”
Star Moon's words also made the groups of countries under his command express their stance. Although most of the countries under his wing were not very powerful, the sound of them shouting together was quite shocking. The entire scene became a military gathering of the countries in the mountains.
The welfare student's words turned the situation around and allowed the Crescent Country to become the leader of the other countries. However, this also placed an even heavier burden on the welfare student's shoulders. If he couldn't defeat his opponent in one fell swoop despite the support of the other countries, then his words would only become a laughing stock for the other countries.
The welfare student hurriedly had lunch with the crown prince and immediately left the table to hold a pre-departure meeting with the three pavilion masters. However, this meeting was destined to be difficult to come to a conclusion because they still did not know who the enemy was, where the enemy was, and what the enemy wanted. Therefore, at the beginning of the meeting, the welfare student and the three pavilion masters were silent.
The welfare student was silent because Wu Chijin hadn't spoken yet. Wu Chijin's words had always been the stabilizing force of the Crescent Country. He needed Wu Chijin to point out the direction for everyone. Wu Chijin was silent because Yue Qingqiu had yet to speak. As the pavilion master of Towering Sky Pavilion, Wu Chijin could not and did not wish to overstep his authority. Yue Qingqiu was silent because the welfare student did not speak. This was the first decision the welfare student made as the country's ruler. Yue Qingqiu was waiting for the welfare student's first instruction.
Nian Yongjun was the only one who didn't want to be silent, but he had no choice. As the Pavilion Master of the Plentiful Feet Pavilion, his role was to fully support everyone's decision. However, at this moment, no one was saying anything. Even if he wanted to say something, he didn't know where to start.
However, Nian Yongjun was a little confused by the silence. Wasn't today's meeting to be held to give the flag and send troops? Why was everyone speechless at this moment? Moreover, this silence was unfathomable. He vaguely felt that there must be something wrong, but at this moment, no one could break the silence. If the three of them did not speak, then he would speak.
"I say, Pavilion Master Le, if you need us to cooperate, just tell us. I'll definitely support you with all my might.”
"It's not that I don't want to talk, but I don't know where to start." This time, Old Le wanted to tell everyone that he was really fighting with the air and didn't know where to fight.”
The welfare student looked at Wu Chijin and asked,"Pavilion Master Wu, we've indeed encountered a difficult situation. You should speak first."”
Wu Chijin stood up and said to the welfare student,"Ruler, Wu Chijin doesn't have any clue about this, so he doesn't dare to speak rashly." These two days, the situation was quite frequent. The enemy had already arrived at the city, but there was no warning beforehand. The Moon Country's thousands of spies in the various countries in the mountains did not report anything. Therefore, it's not that I don't want to speak, but I have nothing to say. Don't misunderstand.”
He then added,"Since we don't know anything about the enemy at the moment, don't waste time guessing." I think, instead of spending our energy on figuring out how to chase after the enemy, we should think from a different angle and think about how to make them reveal themselves. Otherwise, we won't have any clues even if we think about it.”
The welfare student muttered,"Show yourself?" How could he make the enemy, who had the intention to hide, appear?”
Wu Chijin was anxious to see Luo Baiwei, so he first made a suggestion that sounded simple but was extremely difficult to implement. It was to find a way to make the enemy unable to resist and attack first. After saying that, he left the meeting.
Everyone looked at Wu Chijin's departing figure and silently recited the words Wu Chijin left behind. They fell silent again.
Nian Yongjun broke the silence again and said,"Let me talk about my understanding of this sentence first." From another perspective, the other party could make a move but could not. In other words, in their eyes, they could defeat the Crescent Country, but for some reason or purpose, they had to endure and not fight. And the reason or purpose of not fighting might be far more important than defeating the Crescent Country.”
Yue Qingqiu continued,"Didn't the Ruler say today that the opponent's target is the Crescent Mountain, not the Crescent Country?" Even if they defeated the Crescent Country, they would not be able to shake the Crescent Mountain. Therefore, attacking the Crescent Country was only a method or process, not their goal. It was just like how attacking the diplomatic corps wasn't their goal. It was just a process or method to achieve a certain goal. Perhaps their goal was to make all the Crown Princes seek refuge in the Crescent Country, or to force the Myriad Mountain Countries to form a military alliance, etc.”
"Pavilion Master Le, with the information we have gathered these few days, what do you think of our chances of winning?”the welfare student suddenly asked.
Yue Qingqiu shook his head and said,"If we look at the opponents we know, on one side is the ghostly Whitey Carriage, Midnight Song, and Asura Manor, and on the other side is the wolf-like Blue Army." If we were to fight against the Blue Coat Army, according to the military intelligence report from the Big Saber Team last night, although the Blue Coat Army is fierce, they only have more than a thousand people. We have at least a 70% chance of winning. As for the Whitey Carriage and the others, they were neither regular soldiers nor ordinary swordsmen, so it was difficult to assess them.
However, this is based on the fact that the two armies are facing each other head-on. If the other side continues to hide, even if thousands of elite soldiers are sent out, the range of pursuit is extremely limited. At most, we can stop them from causing trouble in our territory. If we want to kill and capture the enemy, I'm afraid the initiative is not in our hands.”
The welfare student continued,"I understand." Therefore, what I said today was too early and too full. Now is not the time for us to take the initiative. Instead, it has put us in a dilemma.”
When Yue Qingqiu and Nian Yongjun heard this, they were both terrified. Nian Yongjun immediately said,"What the Ruler said was reasonable and he had no choice. There's no need to blame yourself."”
The welfare student said,"It's okay. A mistake is a mistake. It's not that I won't make a mistake just because I became the ruler today. It's just that I'm not joking. I've caused this trouble, so I need your help to clean up the mess."”
When Yue Qingqiu heard this, he was even more anxious to say,"It's our duty to share the worries of the country's ruler. Please don't say that. If we were to say that we didn't warn the country's ruler in advance, it would be our dereliction of duty."”
The welfare student smiled and said,"It's fine, it's really fine." Since he had already made a mistake, he would change it together.”Then, he said,"I think this is probably why Wu Chijin thought that he had to lure the other party into making a move first." If they were only facing the blue clothed army, the opponent would definitely avoid the important and deal with the trivial, feigning ignorance. When they were facing the broadsword team, they only dared to circle around and feign attacks, not daring to confront them head-on. However, when they faced the diplomatic missions of the various countries, they started killing without dodging.
If this is the enemy's tactic, it will be very disadvantageous for us to gather the morale of the various countries and quickly avenge ourselves. But then again, the enemy has been spying on us for a long time and probably knows our details like the back of their hand. It won't be easy to trick them into taking action.”
Nian Yongjun continued,"If we send troops to pursue them with great momentum, the other party will naturally be afraid of our momentum and avoid us. What if we pretend to be weak?" For example, the integration of the Wanshan countries was not smooth, or the Crescent Country had always been good at defense and not offense, so they had to fight.”
The welfare student nodded and said,"That's right. It's a show of weakness to lure the enemy." And it wasn't just a show of weakness. If there was an inside man like Wu Chijin said, then pretending would be useless. It would only make the show real and cause problems to appear in our bones. Moreover, this problem had to make the opponent feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of. Moreover, this opportunity was fleeting and couldn't be missed.”
Hearing this, Yue Qingqiu and Nian Yongjun fell silent again. They thought about the words " fake drama becomes real, and problems arise in the bones." The country ruler was probably close to the dark and the dark. After hanging out with Wu Chijin for a long time, the words he said were equally unfathomable.
The welfare student then said,"How about this? I can't think of a way to turn this fake show into reality. You guys go and prepare for the recruitment of soldiers. As for the idea of letting the other party attack first, it was Wu Chijin's idea. When the time comes, we'll wait for him to settle it."”
