Chapter 3026: Surprise Attack!

The environment he and the Little Green Flood Dragon were in was unsafe.

The moment the words fell, the image inside the mirror vanished.

He Lingchuan rubbed his hands together and said to the two Vassal Demon Kings, "Next, let us discuss the battle plan."

Just now, while he was speaking with Nie Xiaolou, Fu Shanlie had not had a chance to interject; at this point, he could only switch topics: "That brat A-Yue, don't let him return to Between Between Between Beijia."

After the Between Between Between Beijia incident, Fu Shanyue was restless and about to rush back to Between Between Between Beijia. In his own words, "I've been coddled in Yangshan for twenty years, practically pickled by the sea wind; it's still more satisfying to go back to Chiyan and kill people."

Fu Shanlie ordered him not to return to the country, but Fu Shanyue just treated it as hot air.

In the past, Fu Shanlie couldn't control him; now, it was even more impossible.

"The legs are on his own body; I have no way to forcibly pin him down in the Yangshan Archipelago." He Lingchuan shrugged. "As far as I know, he's already nearly here."

Fu Shanyue didn't come following the Earth Mother, but does he not have his own means of transport?

Fu Shanlie couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This worrisome son had never been able to appreciate his father's good intentions.

He was a Mei; he originally shouldn't have had descendants. Having lost a son in his early years, he developed a delusional obsession with the continuation of his bloodline.

But He Lingchuan knew what Fu Shanyue was thinking. This scoundrel had just chatted with him the day before yesterday: if the War Alliance lost, there would be no peaceful place under heaven, and Fu Shanyue's good days would come to an end all the same; he might as well fight the Heavenly Demons properly for a few rounds.

At least, when he died and how he died would be up to him to decide.

However, He Lingchuan neither mentioned it nor persuaded him.

He didn't intend to meddle in the karmic entanglement of this father and son; he would just let them continue to be entangled.

After this meeting, the War Alliance swiftly issued internal orders, requiring all members to pay attention to and search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Palace's private army.

He Lingchuan attached great importance to this clue provided by Nie Xiaolou.

Recently, Between Between Between Beijia was the focus of the whole world. Following the assassination of the Demon Emperor, the Shenglong Mountain upheaval, and the internal chaos in Between Between Between Beijia, another thunderclap exploded in Between Between Between Beijia: the Mu State suddenly entered the war!

The Mu State dispatched four armies, advancing from east to west, respectively coordinating with the two great Vassal Demon States to launch a pincer attack on the Suoluo State and the Bolang State.

This was not the first time the Mu State had attacked the Between Between Between Beijia mainland, but it was certainly the one with the greatest intensity and scope, and the most troops committed. The Cangyan Grand Army then appeared in the Bolang State for no apparent reason.

The Bolang State was located on the southeastern coast of Between Between Between Beijia; half its territory was land, the other half consisted of large and small archipelagos.

Its capital was located in the She Shi Archipelago. Countless undercurrents and sea beasts surrounded it; ordinary vessels could not approach at all. Only vessels permitted by the Bolang Capital could fly the Sea Shell Flag and travel freely in and out.

The Bolang Capital feared land-based attacks even less. Half the royal city was built underwater; not only were there countless formation barriers, but the city itself was a massive, three-dimensional, seven-or-eight-story underwater labyrinth. For humans and land-based demons to capture it was simply an impossible task.

Not to mention, the Bolang State royal family also possessed six great sea beasts. They guarded the underwater labyrinth and would devour all foreign intruders.

Even when the Between Between Between Beijia civil war began, the Bolang State did not believe it would be the first to bear the brunt, because the Baoshu State and the Chiyan State were both unskilled in naval warfare and lacked powerful sea demons; furthermore, the Heavenly Palace still had land-based Vassal Demon States like the Yegan State and the Bili State to choose from. The enemy should pick soft persimmons to pinch, so in the early stages of the war, they should at least be safe.

As long as they held out until the Gods descended, they would have even less to worry about, right?

Wrong.

The Bolang State misjudged its opponent.

The Chiyan State's army invaded the Bolang State's western land territory first and swiftly captured four major cities, including Xunying City. The Bolang Royal Court immediately mobilized troops to retake them.

But the Bolang State was originally not known for its land army; its elite troops were all aquatic. Even more fatal was that in several past foreign wars, it had lost several commanding generals. The newly promoted generals had not yet been tempered by war and were overly green; their land warfare was quite a mess.

The Bolang King flew into a rage and wanted to dispatch the aquatic main force to exterminate the enemy. At the time, ministers opposed it, reasoning that the attacked cities were all built by the water, their water systems all connecting to the sea, showing the enemy had the intent to lure them in. Moreover, the Bolang State still had several powerful naval forces on distant oceans and tribute lands; because the Between Between Between Beijia civil war broke out too suddenly, they had not yet returned to the country, so the defenses of the Capital's Water Palace were relatively empty.

The Bolang King listened and also felt it made sense, but he couldn't just let the enemy army swagger about in their territory. Because the neighboring Haoling State was also suffering an attack from the Baoshu State and couldn't spare troops to aid the Bolang State, the latter could only rely on itself.

At this time, the Chiyan army was attacking cities and seizing land all over the western territory, stirring up chaos. The Bolang State could bear it no longer and still dispatched its ace main force to the land. Aside from the humanoid Yakshas and Kunchus, the Bolang aquatic elite warriors also included boa pythons, giant crocodiles, spiral turtles, and the like, all very suitable for amphibious operations. Naturally, there were also the Jiao Ren clan, proficient in water-element techniques.

The naval forces entered the rivers from the sea, tracing the source straight up to recapture the cities, when a sudden change occurred at the Bolang Royal City.

A massive shadow suddenly rose from the seabed, as if the sea floor had suddenly lifted, ramming the underwater labyrinth without any warning. Besides directly smashing the bottom layer of the Water Palace into ruins, it also shoved the entire royal family's palace straight up above the sea surface in one go!

That one boom shook mountains and split the earth; the archipelago's waves surged, even triggering a tsunami, scaring the surrounding bird flocks into flying up into the sky, cawing in disorder. The royal palace originally had countless exquisite formations and barriers for protection, banning both escape arts and divine abilities; logically, even a small fish would find it hard to lurk inside. The result: the sneak attacker didn't consider how to assault the Water Palace or how to break the formations and barriers at all, but chose to shatter ten thousand laws with one force, coming up and just brute-forcing it! Those many formations, barriers, labyrinths, and guards all vanished into thin air in a single instant, without any room to be used at all.

Even the countless guards were stranded on the newly emerged "land"!

It was several times larger than the Royal City, and itself possessed peaks, fortresses, and cities!

This unique mode of surfacing, and this incomparably massive stature—

The Earth Mother Plains!

The Bolang King finally reacted; the one attacking them was actually the Cangyan army!

At this critical juncture, Cangyan actually entered the war, and chose this place for its debut in Between Between Between Beijia!

How unlucky the Bolang State was.

After the aquatic clans of the She Shi Archipelago reacted, they swarmed up the Earth Mother Plains, rushing to serve the King.

Greeting them were the Cangyan Grand Army and the Stone Man Grand Array, drawn up in strict battle formation.

At this time, the Bolang royal clan were all stranded on the Earth Mother Plains, planning to hold the palace and wait for reinforcements, because most of the palace was still largely intact, and the numerous barriers and internal waterways were still operating. Human armies entering would still find it very hard to gain an advantage.

But new invaders soon came knocking. The Bolang guards discovered with shock that the opponents weren't human at all!
