Chapter 940: Enraging the Demon Realm

Ye Liuyun saw his side's Warship, its attack power was formidable, and he couldn't help but admire it.

"Du Yan, they did a good job modifying this Warship, looks like they put a lot of effort!"

This Warship's attack power was much stronger than what he had seen before.

Wanhu also didn't expect Ye Liuyun to actually dare to start a battle.

He panicked for a moment, then pretended to be calm and shouted: "You guys actually dare to attack the Moyu Warship, do you want to fight us…?"

"If you want a fight, fight! If not, get lost!" Ye Liuyun roared, not letting him finish his sentence.

"You…" Wanhu was choked and couldn't speak.

"Fine! Then don't blame me! Prepare for battle!" He shouted, and took a fighting stance.

"Attack!" Ye Liuyun without hesitation gave Qin Peng a Transmission Voice.

"Attack!"

Upon Qin Peng's order, the nearest Warship immediately launched an attack.

"Boom, boom, boom…" countless energy pillars surged toward the Moyu Warships, instantly shattering two Warships and damaging three.

The other Warships of Ye Liuyun's fleet also adjusted their angles and were about to fire!

"Ye Liuyun, you're insane!"

Wanhu was truly stunned at this point.

He never imagined that Ye Liuyun wouldn't be swayed by his threats, would strike at once without hesitation.

It seemed Ye Liuyun had planned this long ago, as if ready to go to war with them!

"Retreat!"

Wanhu immediately ordered the Moyu Warships to retreat.

He hadn't received a battle order, so he dared not truly fight Ye Liuyun.

"No need to pursue!" Ye Liuyun gave Qin Peng a Transmission Voice.

Then he loudly told Wanhu: "Go back and tell your City Lord that I'm acting for the Daxia Chao, don't block my way!"

Ye Liuyun knew he would definitely pass the message.

He deliberately said that to provoke Hu Tianyang.

"Consider yourself ruthless!" Wanhu said through clenched teeth.

But he didn't continue to entangle the matter.

Since Ye Liuyun ignored his threats and dared to start a battle, further entanglement would only let Ye Liuyun's side keep hitting them.

"Stand down!"

He reluctantly ordered, leading the fleet back to Yi Cheng.

"Keep moving forward!" Ye Liuyun greeted Qin Peng and then returned to cultivation.

Qin Peng also ordered the fleet to head toward the original target.

After Wanhu returned with his troops, he immediately reported to Hu Tianyang.

However, given the seriousness and the many onlookers, he dared not embellish, fearing to ignite a clash.

He estimated Ye Liuyun's combat power was also not weak. If a fight broke out, both sides would be badly hurt.

Moreover, the battle would have to be commanded by him, so in his heart he didn't wish to clash with Ye Liuyun's massive army.

Though his anger boiled, it was still better than sending his soldiers to their deaths.

"Well done, Ye Liuyun, you actually rode onto my head! We'll see how this goes!"

Hu Tianyang immediately sent messengers to rally the Demon Race and Demon Cultivator Sect to oppose Ye Liuyun.

The news spread quickly; throughout the Moyu, everyone said Ye Liuyun was slaughtering Demon Race and Demon Cultivators, becoming the public enemy of the entire Moyu.

Then some Sects and Demon Race took the lead, forming an alliance specifically to counter Ye Liuyun.

The participating Sects and Demon Race numbered over two hundred thousand, a considerable scale.

On Ye Liuyun's side, they had already successfully captured four predetermined targets.

Each time Ye Liuyun sounded the Nine Nether Prelude, the Demon Race was most affected. Demon Cultivators were slightly less, but still very effective.

Qin Peng was quite frustrated; those four targets were basically performed by Ye Liuyun alone, without his team.

On the way back, Qin Peng complained to Ye Liuyun: "Lord Hou, aren't we here to train troops? We didn't even get to fight!"

Ye Liuyun smiled: "Goal achieved! Just wait for the great war. Next time, our opponent will be the entire Moyu, including Yi Cheng's garrison!"

"Huh?" Qin Peng was also startled.

He was stunned for a moment before replying: "Lord Hou, are you plotting to take over the whole Moyu?"

"Hmm, after you return, continue recruiting soldiers; the current numbers are far insufficient! We'll eventually move to Yi Cheng. Yonglie Island, Lord Ningyu's base, will both become our trade stations."

Ye Liuyun told Qin Peng to go back and keep expanding the army. Guarding the entire Moyu required many troops.

"You still need to train a few deputies, otherwise you'll be overwhelmed later!" Ye Liuyun instructed him.

"Yes!"

Qin Peng replied, then went down to contemplate slowly.

"No wonder Lord Hou gave me so many resources! To seize and hold the Moyu, we need at least a hundred thousand army! Adding the garrison on Yonglie Island and Lord Ningyu's lands, that's fifteen hundred thousand troops!"

Qin Peng at once felt a headache. Raising fifteen hundred thousand troops, just conscripting and training would take a long time.

Moreover, resources are also an issue. Though resources are abundant now, expanding to fifteen hundred thousand would strain them.

Ye Liuyun saw his expression and knew he was worried about recruitment and resources.

"Don't worry about resources; I'll guarantee your supply. For recruitment, cast a wide net, especially in Lord Ningyu's lands, which are already part of the Zhongyang Dalu. You can conscript soldiers from there."

Qin Peng felt relieved.

Then he asked: "Lord Hou, are you planning to rob another wealthy family again? Or this time take our elite units with you to train them?"

He genuinely hoped to test this elite unit in actual combat.

"Let these two thousand men launch a surprise attack on the fifty-thousand-strong army—do you dare?" Ye Liuyun glanced at Qin Peng, feeling it could also be tried.

"Dare!" Qin Peng immediately agreed, his voice tinged with excitement.

"Fifty-thousand-strong army? Is that the remaining fifty-thousand troops of Prince Xiao?" Qin Peng speculated.

Ye Liuyun nodded: "Not bad! You need resources, right? Perfect—let's go seize Xiao Wang Mansion."

"Uh…" Qin Peng felt that Ye Liuyun was more like a bandit than a bandit.

Whenever they lacked resources, he would go out for a round and bring back plenty.

This time he even dared to go after Xiao Wang's idea!

"Are we really going to attack so openly?" Qin Peng probed.

He was afraid Ye Liuyun would anger the dynasty and strike at them.

Even if their strength were greater, they still couldn't match the dynasty. He was well aware of that.

For example, a single Fire Wolf Regiment of the dynasty could wipe them all out.

Ye Liuyun also laughed: "Of course not! Xiao Wang is a renowned minister of the dynasty—we can't just openly attack him. We need to change disguises!"

"What should we disguise ourselves as?" Qin Peng asked. He needed to prepare clothing and such in advance.

"We've just subjugated a few Demon Cultivator sects, haven't we?" Ye Liuyun smiled at Qin Peng.
