Chapter 177: War, the Combined Attack of the Two Major Demon Races!

"Brother Qingshan, that tiny Qin Kingdom has never been a match for you, has it?"

"As far as I know, the many powerhouses of the War Demon Race have never even taken the Qin Kingdom seriously."

"Why, then, have you taken the initiative to invite us this time to attack the Qin Kingdom together?"

Yan Wuchang scanned the people present, and seeing the displeased expressions of the War Demon Race members, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Hmph! I don't know what's going on with this Qin Kingdom; they've had internal strife recently, and the country is in turmoil."

"But I didn't expect that after we launched a full-scale attack, those humans would erupt with such overwhelming strength."

"They even have an extremely peculiar Array that can repel even Saint-level existences!"

Qingshan's brows were tightly locked as he spoke, his eyes filled with fury.

The War Demon Race is the most bellicose of all the Demon Race tribes.

They seem born for battle, priding themselves on their extraordinary and powerful combat prowess.

Yet they never expected that this time, despite being fully prepared, they would be repelled by the tiny Qin Kingdom they looked down upon.

In the eyes of Qingshan and the other War Demon Race powerhouses, this was an utter disgrace!

The War Demon Race is not a tribe that rests after a single defeat; on the contrary, failure only makes their fighting spirit burn even brighter.

That is why they sought out the friendly Rock Demon Race, preparing to attack the Qin Kingdom together.

Hearing these words from Qingshan, a flash of ferocity also crossed Yan Wuchang's eyes.

"Rest assured, Brother Qingshan, given the relationship between our two races, we will naturally help you with this favor."

"I didn't expect this tiny Qin Kingdom to have the strength to make a comeback; it seems we must completely annihilate them before they can rise!"

"I will immediately summon the army within my tribe to attack the Qin Kingdom alongside your War Demon Race."

……

Da Qi, near the border of the Qin Kingdom.

Looking toward the direction of the Qin Kingdom, many Da Qi generals wore silent expressions.

News of the great victory at the Qin Kingdom's border had already reached them.

This left these Qi Kingdom generals feeling extremely astonished.

They did not expect that with the Qin Kingdom's meager strength, they could actually repel the War Demon Race army head-on; it was simply inconceivable.

They had previously noticed that the War Demon Race had mobilized a large army.

Such formidable strength had made even the Qi Kingdom wary, leading them to mobilize their own army overnight to station at the border.

The Qi Kingdom generals had been prepared for the Qin Kingdom to be breached, never expecting that the tiny Qin Kingdom would actually repel the enemy head-on.

"Report! General, we have discovered that the Rock Demon Race has been making major moves recently! They have begun preparing their army!"

Just then, a scout captain quickly arrived beside the Qi Kingdom general, reporting the military situation with a nervous expression.

"Within the Rock Demon Race's encampment, a massive number of troops have begun to assemble and are now setting off toward the distance."

"Judging by the direction the Rock Demon Race army is advancing, it seems they intend to head toward the War Demon Race..."

After hearing the scout's news, the Qi Kingdom general's expression changed instantly.

"What? The Rock Demon Race has assembled an army; could it be they intend to reinforce the War Demon Race and prepare to deal with the Qin Kingdom together?!"

Over the years, although internal strife often breaks out among the Demon Race, the War Demon Race and the Rock Demon Race have maintained very close ties.

The War Demon Race has even supported the Rock Demon Race from time to time, joining forces to attack Da Qi.

This has caused no small amount of pressure for Da Qi.

Facing a single Demon Race army is already extremely difficult.

With two major races attacking in unison, even Da Qi would suffer heavy losses.

And this time, with the Rock Demon Race army assembling and marching into the distance, their goal is not hard to guess.

It is highly likely they are going to rendezvous with the defeated War Demon Race to attack Da Qin together. Although news of a victory at the border had just arrived from Da Qin a short while ago, where they repelled the War Demon Race head-on.

But now, if the Rock Demon Race joins in, the tide of battle will be reversed in an instant!

One must know that the strength gap between the Qin Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom is a full three to four times over.

Facing a coalition of two Demon Race tribes, even Da Qi would have to be extremely cautious; if it were the Qin Kingdom, they would likely be annihilated as a result! The Qi Kingdom generals still understood the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."

If Da Qin were to fall completely, then both Da Qi and Da Chu would face an extremely dangerous situation.

Originally, they had the Qin Kingdom to help them share the pressure from the Demon Race.

But if Da Qin were to fall, the Demon Race's strength would greatly increase, and both the Qi Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom would face the Demon Race on the front lines—especially the Qi Kingdom, which would face the prospect of fighting on two fronts!

Not daring to delay, the general reported the intelligence to the Qi Kingdom's royal family immediately, awaiting the next instructions from the Qi King.

Upon learning that the Rock Demon Race and the War Demon Race were actually preparing to jointly attack the Qin Kingdom, the high officials of the Qi Kingdom were all shocked.

"The Demon Race is in constant internal strife, yet these two races have such a good relationship."

"With the Qin Kingdom's strength, it will likely be difficult to hold off these two races."

"I wonder what His Majesty intends to do? Should we send troops to support the Qin Kingdom?!"

With war breaking out all over the Qin Kingdom's borders, everyone within the Qi Kingdom was also feeling extremely nervous.

The Qi King frowned slightly, and after deep contemplation, he spoke slowly.

"Didn't that Qin Kingdom repel the War Demon Race head-on?"

"You must know that even for our Qi Kingdom, repelling the War Demon Race's army head-on is not that easy."

"Perhaps the Qin Kingdom's strength is not as weak as we imagined..."

The Qi King's voice was not loud, but it fell clearly into the ears of everyone present.

The people of the Qi Kingdom were surprised at first, but then they all realized what he meant.

They immediately understood that the Qi King did not intend to send troops.

The fact that the Qin Kingdom, clearly just a small country, had the strength to repel the War Demon Race army head-on had already aroused the Qi King's wariness...

"Perhaps Qin has the strength to withstand the alliance of two Demon Race factions..."

"However, we must not give others cause for gossip. Since we have learned of the Rock Demon Race's movements, let us draft a letter and send someone to deliver it to Qin."

"Inform them of the plans of the Rock Demon Race and the War Demon Race, so that they may be prepared."

Although the Qi King did not intend to support Qin, he still did so just in case.

He mobilized a large number of troops and stationed them at the border between the two kingdoms.

After all, if Qin truly could not hold on, the Qi Kingdom also needed to be fully prepared.

Meanwhile, far away in Da Qin, Luo Shuiyan soon received the message from the Qi Kingdom's envoy.

Learning that the War Demon Race and the Rock Demon Race were actually joining forces to attack made Luo Shuiyan feel grave.

Luo Shuiyan was decisive; after receiving the news, she began issuing order after order.

She readied the great army and mobilized them to the border, preparing for the even more brutal war to come.

However, Luo Shuiyan felt somewhat angry; she had not expected that even in such a situation, the Qi Kingdom would still choose to remain idle.

As for why the Qi King would not send reinforcements, it was easy to guess: it was nothing more than letting a fellow Daoist die rather than oneself, all to preserve his own strength.

"Many thanks for the news from the Qi Kingdom, but I must also trouble you to take a message back to the Qi King."

Luo Shuiyan approached the envoy, her expression grave as she said in a deep voice.

"If even these Demon Race factions, who are constantly in internal strife, can gather together to fight, why can our two Human Race kingdoms not join forces to resist the enemy?!"

"Could it be that personal selfish desires are more important than the survival of the Human Race?!"
