Chapter 3102

The great war between heaven and earth has reached this point, both sides have gone berserk, and any tactic that could humiliate the enemy, destroy their reputation, or create a lose-lose situation will be used without hesitation.

The Heavenly Demon successfully ambushed and killed King Chi Yan Fu Shanlie, which has already made all small and medium forces within the War Alliance feel insecure; if they could also kill He Chunhua, it would announce to everyone that the Nine Abysses Great Emperor cannot even protect his own father—how could he protect these allies?

Although everyone understands the reasoning, deep down it still feels unpleasant.

He Chunhua, upon hearing this, did not argue, smiling faintly: "Even if my luck were better, it would only be this once. Alas, there is the saying that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but who can guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

Afterwards, he turned to He Lingchuan with a solemn expression: "I, He Chunhua, have a blood-deep grudge against the Heavenly Demon. After the large-scale divine descent, the War Alliance's battles on the Bekka front have become even more difficult—how could I remain idle in the rear?"

He Lingchuan's expression shifted: "What does the Shen King mean?"

He Chunhua chuckled: "To be frank, I personally lead two hundred thousand troops to the front lines; I am already on the road and will enter the Baoshu Kingdom tomorrow."

He Lingchuan turned his gaze to the Baoshu King. The latter's avatar nodded: "I have already coordinated the border defenses here; tomorrow, when the Shen army enters the border, I will immediately grant passage."

He Chunhua let out a long sigh: "Nine Abysses, do not blame me for my willfulness. I too have spent half my life in military campaigns and ought to ride the waves in this grand war!"

He is also the founding Gao Zu who conquered the realm on horseback—civil governance and martial prowess, which one is lacking? Now, donning battle armor again, it is merely to continue another twenty years of glory.

He Lingchuan laughed: "The Shen Lord personally taking the battlefield—I welcome it, how could I blame him? If all national rulers could emulate the Shen King and lead their armies in person, what would the War Alliance have to fear regarding unstable morale, failing to capture Lingxu City, or failing to level the Heavenly Palace?"

Upon hearing this, He Chunhua knew that He Lingchuan had already understood his intention.

Hearing the string song and knowing the refined intent—no wonder he is the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, no wonder he is a descendant of my He family!

Du Shan, far away in Cangyan, also participated remotely via the Ling Tong Rock; hearing this, he could not help but curl the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

This father and son truly are————

Pu Hua had been standing silently behind him until the meeting ended; Du Shan put away the Ling Tong Rock, then he could not help but ask: "Du Xiang, what was that just now?"

"What I said may not be appropriate, but the Shen King is also an old sly fox. Leading his troops to the front lines personally is indeed beneficial to the War Alliance, so the Emperor also accommodated him."

Pu Hua listened, utterly confused: "Old, old sly fox?"

The Shen King's son died at the hands of the Heavenly Demon—saying it is a deep grudge and great hatred is correct.

The Bekka front lines are tense; his joining as reinforcements is also correct.

Where is the slyness?

"He left three days ago, and deliberately announced this during the alliance meeting precisely because many allied nation representatives were present. Thus, he made this decision public not for the Emperor to see, but for the allies to see." Du Shan smiled: "What has the Shen King just experienced?"

"The ambush and assassination by the Great Heavenly Demon."

"He specifically said there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. This time he escaped the assassination by Hulu Tian due to his extraordinary luck and Mr. Yuan's fiery eyes and golden pupils. But if the Heavenly Demon is not resigned, and launches another comeback, as long as Mr. Yuan lags half a beat like Lingbao Xian, the Shen King would be in danger." Du Shan said slowly: "Therefore, knowing that staying in Shen Guo is no longer safe, what should the Shen King do?"

Pu Hua blurted out: "Go to the front lines?"

"Exactly."

Pu Hua also pondered the meaning and clapped his hands: "Ah, yes—the front lines may seem dangerous, but we have our Emperor, true immortals, many powerful beings of the War Alliance, the Longshen Army and the Mou Army!

Once the Shen King arrives at the front lines, it will be extremely difficult for the Heavenly Demon to assassinate him!"

"The most dangerous place is often the safest." Du Shan continued: "The Emperor saw through his intention, which is why he willingly accommodated him."

"What is this again?" Pu Hua had never seen anyone more scheming and deep-minded than the Emperor.

"These words of the Shen King were also deliberately spoken for the allied nations to hear. Those small and medium state rulers had always worried that the Heavenly Demon would also descend upon Ducheng and take their lives. Now it's fine—the Shen King personally gave them an example."

"As long as they can still move, as long as they can handle court intrigues without letting the inner court catch fire, they can well learn from the Shen King's personal expedition to the front lines—this way their own safety is also guaranteed, after all, very few rulers would don armor and go into battle themselves to meet the enemy; most merely supervise from the rear. But by doing so, they would enjoy the protection of the powerful immortals on the War Alliance front lines, and outwardly it would sound noble: 'I do not share the same sky as the Heavenly Demon; I fight for the welfare of humanity.'"

Pu Hua could not help but laugh—Du Xiang really has a sharp tongue.

"Conversely speaking, the Shen King, as the father of the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, being forced to rush to the battlefield shows how perilous the situation is—the Nine Abysses have no spare energy to attend to him. Therefore, if the allied nations wish to follow suit, they must seize the opportunity." Du Shan said leisurely: "The reason our Emperor reconciled with the Shen King is because it also benefits the War Alliance."

"What benefits?"

Du Shan refused to elaborate: "You'll know in a few days."

These military commanders—how come they dislike using their brains when encountering state affairs?

In just a few days, seven or eight state rulers within the War Alliance also rushed to the Bekka front lines, leaving state affairs to the Crown Prince for governance. They also followed the Shen King's example of leaving first and reporting later, only informing the War Alliance midway, using the pretext of either personal expedition or rear supervision.

The current spiritual energy environment is better than in ancient times; the rulers' travels can all be made on flying vehicles, safe, concealed, and efficient.

The front lines originally had troops stationed by them, more or less, but their combat effectiveness is hard to say. After all, the armies of Cangyan, Mou, and several demon nations are the main force of the War Alliance; some medium and small state armies merely consider themselves to be making up numbers, unwilling to properly handle logistics, transfers, or reconnaissance duties.

The rulers of Gao Guo are far away—what is there to fear?

Who would have thought that these rulers, upon arriving at the Bekka front lines, would feel embarrassed to merely loaf in the rear logistics camp, so they picked up their imperial edicts and began supervising their own nation's troops?

With rulers personally overseeing the battle formations, these armies would no longer dare to shirk work as before, slacking off and being lazy—suddenly they became much more valiant. The Nine Abysses Great Emperor, when deploying various tasks, also felt that orders were strictly followed, and the internal operations of the War Alliance ran much more smoothly.

A few days later, another dozen or so rulers followed the Shen King's example and rushed to the battlefield.

"A dozen or so rulers rushing to the battlefield in competition—what a rare wonder through the ages!" Mou Emperor privately discussed this with the Nine Abysses Great Emperor, and both felt somewhat moved.

It is no wonder that Shen Guo, despite being stationed beside Bekka for over twenty years without a single hair harmed, while Bekka's iron hooves have trampled half the world, Shen Guo could still achieve a "darkness under the lamp"—hidden beautifully beside it. This He Chunhua truly has some skill: he ensured his own safety, gained the glorious reputation of personally leading troops to slay the Heavenly Demon, and set an example for the medium and small state rulers within the alliance, thereby resolving a major problem for the Nine Abysses Great Emperor.

Mou Emperor chuckled: "In this age of great contention, talents indeed emerge in abundance."

Cunning talent is also talent, after all.
