Witch Wind

Chapter 116: Expedition to Dongyun (Part )

With just a stagger, the Virgin Mary Church's Judgment Knight was knocked to the ground by Xing Tianren and his brothers.

These Judgment Knights had extremely thin blood in their bodies, as thin as a drop of milk dropped into a pond. With such thin blood power, unless Xing Tianli took out their bone marrow, it would be difficult to confirm where their blood source came from.

Human?
Is it a demon?
A beast?
Mountain spirits or water monsters?
In short, no matter where the blood of these guys comes from, their physical strength is generally around 1,000 jin, and the best among them can have a strength of 3,000 to 5,000 jin. This kind of strength is absolutely overwhelming and irresistible compared to the strength of 200 to 300 jin of "mortals"!
However, under the deliberate cultivation of Xing Tianli, the brothers Xing Tianren already have a strength of nearly one million kilograms!
This was a pure crushing defeat.

Several Judgment Knights who attacked impulsively were beaten to the point of spitting blood. Their heavy armor was dented, and no one knew how many of their arms, legs and ribs were broken. They looked extremely miserable.

Behind Lucy and Lucia, a large group of priests and judgement knights were all horrified.

The priests and nuns began to shake colorful bells. The ding-ding sound of the bells continued to spread with a strange power that made people obsessed and bewildered, and nearly a thousand Judgment Knights drew their weapons at the same time.

The low roar of beasts continued.

Tens of thousands of giant pythons, giant crocodiles, giant lions, and giant leopards surrounded them, and hundreds of eagles and vultures circled in the sky, constantly lowering their flying altitude.

These guys were originally the alien species selected by the Xingtian brothers in the jungle, and their physiques were much stronger than their peers. After being contracted by the Xingtian brothers, they reached a kind of strange symbiotic relationship. The Xingtian brothers' strength increased, which also promoted the return of the bloodline of these big guys.

In a short period of time, these guys' already huge size became even more terrifying, like monsters.

For example, the giant python controlled by Xing Tianren is now more than thirty feet long. If this guy is released into a big city like Pinghai City, ordinary people will be scared to death by it!
So many huge monsters, roaring ferociously, surrounded them from all directions.

The ringing of the charlatans' bells became scattered.

The Judgment Knights' high fighting spirit suddenly died. They stood back to back in fear, their heavy swords trembling slightly, looking at the beasts approaching in fear.

Xing Tianli loosened his hands.

Lucia's palm was completely twisted, and the bones of his ten fingers were completely crushed by him. The tiny bone fragments pierced his flesh, and the slightly black bone fragments with a hint of cold water vapor were exposed. Blood continued to flow down the wound, dripping onto the ground.

"Enough!" Lucia roared in a low voice.

Under his neck, large pieces of black scales like dragon scales kept emerging, and the terrifying cold air turned into thick white mist and spread around. Under his feet, water waves with a diameter of several feet and a thickness of three inches appeared out of thin air.

The essence and blood were burning, and Lucia's twisted and shattered palm healed in an instant. All the broken bones drilled into the flesh on their own. The "ding ding" sound of bones colliding was endless. All the broken bones healed on their own and returned to their original positions in an instant.

Lucia stared straight at Xing Tianli: "Pingyuan Hall, Xing Tianshi! Hey."

Xing Tianli raised his head: "Gonggong bloodline? Hmm?"

In the crowd, He Duo and He Xi, uncle and nephew, quietly appeared with a group of Wuyuetang clansmen. Thick earth energy rolled over them, and the gravity around them increased slightly. The cold air rolling around Lucia, the white mist visible to the naked eye, was forced by the rolling earth energy around him, condensing within a three-foot radius around him, and could no longer disperse at all!

Lucia's ferocious face became extremely stiff - Wuyue Hall, Hou Tu bloodline, among the five elements, earth overcomes water, He Duo, He Xi, uncle and nephew, and hundreds of Wuyue Hall's children, their bloodline power naturally restrains Lucia.

Moreover, they have more people than Lucia. Under the cultivation of Xing Tianli, their bloodline power is purer than Lucia, their cultivation is more sophisticated, and their physical strength is so great that any of them can beat Lucia.

The coldness all over the body suddenly subsided.

Lucia grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and laughed loudly: "Lord Li, we are allies, allies! Some unpleasant things in the past, for example, eighteen years ago, your father broke one of my arms!"

Lucia shrugged her shoulders and acted nonchalant. "At that time, I was young and impulsive, and I did some stupid things. But I was punished, wasn't I?"

"Now, we are allies, so let's move on."

"Let's not talk about the past. Let's work together to let the glory of the Supreme and Merciful Virgin Mary cover the entire Black Borneo!" Lucia looked at Xing Tianli seriously: "With faith, we can better control this continent, what do you think?"

Xing Tianli pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

He smiled and said, "Your words are nonsense, but I think that what you said makes sense. For the sake of Mr. Augustus, as long as you don't do whatever you want in Black Borneo, I can tolerate your existence."

Xing Tianli looked at the Augustus tribesmen.

Several men with blond hair and golden eyes shrugged their shoulders, with a strange light flickering in their eyes.

From their attitudes, it can be seen that although Augustus and Dis have temporarily joined forces, they all have ulterior motives. It is not known how long this "alliance" relationship can last.

The Kingdom of Yingjishi, the Kingdom of Saint Norman, and the Holy Mother Church will sooner or later come to blows!
Xing Tianli was certain that they would have a fight sooner or later.

If they don't take action, Xing Tianli will find a way to force them to fight!
Tens of thousands of young and strong natives were busy risking their lives. They quickly emptied the baggage sent by the giant ship and transferred it to the jungle, to the densely packed camp selected in advance by Xing Tianli.

The gangway was retracted, the heavy hatch closed, a strong static electricity field gushed out, and tiny electric sparks appeared on Xing Tianli and others again. The huge ship silently took off, knocking a huge hole in the thick clouds in the sky, and then quickly sailed away to the northwest.

About a quarter of an hour later, another huge ship appeared in the sky.

Also under the cover of thick clouds and strong winds, the giant ship slowly landed and delivered more weapons and ammunition.

For seven consecutive days, Xing Tianli led his men to work in the jungle. The guns and bullets were fine, with so many young and strong natives, it was easy to carry them. But the heavy artillery, overly advanced vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, and various fighter planes were a bit annoying.

However, Xing Tianli, many British officials from the Commercial Office, and many technical officers and soldiers who came on board the ship spent several days to properly place the heavy equipment. They even built a field airport in the jungle, which was about a mile wide and more than six miles long and was made of steel plates.

This field airport is less than a hundred miles away from Black Pearl Harbor. The fighter planes taking off from here can reach the sea outside Black Pearl Harbor in just a few sips of water. If a fleet of Saint Rose, Farus, Idoli, or the North Sea Seven Nations Alliance approaches, these fighter planes will be enough to launch a fatal attack on them.

What gave Xing Tianli the biggest headache was the three steel mills he requested, as well as the equipment for several supporting large military factories.

For example, in those steel mills, some new blast furnaces are more than ten meters high and weigh hundreds of tons. The various supporting equipment are all stupid, big, black, rough and heavy things.

Relying on the mines opened up by Yingji merchants, Xing Tianli selected the addresses of the steel mills and military factories, which were still a bit far from the unloading site of the giant ship. These huge machines were impossible for the native young and strong people to transport them to the destination in the primitive jungle even if they risked their lives.

Xing Tianli no longer cared about hiding anything.

He simply carried these heavy equipment by himself and trudged through the jungle. It took him several nights to finally get all the large equipment to where they should go.

Originally, Xing Tianli could easily load these big guys into the purple-ribbon Taoist robe and move them all in one trip.

But in public.

Not only were those blond men with golden eyes watching, but also Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wei Zhongxian and other old ghosts were watching in Black Pearl Harbor. Xing Tianli would rather reveal a little bit of his physical strength than expose himself to these people that he actually possessed a huge storage device!
As for something like a hole card, it’s natural to keep one more if you can!

Luckily, everything went well.

Arms and supplies were ready, and production equipment also arrived. Under the guidance of engineers sent from England, a large group of workers began to build a steel mill and various supporting factories.

According to the specifications of the production equipment sent, if everything goes well, it won't take long for Black Pearl Harbor to produce millions of tons of high-quality steel every year. As the actual controller of Black Pearl Harbor, and in wartime, Xing Tianli can do some extra work and withhold some steel. Anyway, for some time to come, Xing Tianli, the brothers of the Xing Tian clan, He Duo of the Five Mountains Hall, and He Xi, a group of clansmen, will have stable cultivation resources.

Another new day.

The blue sun slowly slid out of the sea level. The temperature in Black Pearl Harbor soared to the point where you could scramble eggs on a hot plate.

Xing Tianli stood on the office terrace on the top floor of the Business Office building, looking at a newly leveled piece of land that was about a thousand acres in size on the hillside more than ten miles away. A large number of Dongyun people were working on the construction site with their bare chests, like a group of human-shaped animals.

A large group of clergymen dressed in gray and black robes, holding various drawings, gestured on the construction site and drove the Dongyun people at will.

Next to the construction site, under several newly built sheds, the dying Lucy was lying on a small rattan bed, rolling her eyes and looking weakly at the busy construction site.

Around Lucy, a group of the most senior white-robed charlatans sat expressionlessly on chairs. Next to them stood the lightly dressed Dongyun maids, who waved large cattail-leaf fans fiercely at them, bringing them a tiny bit of cool breeze.

The Holy Mother Church is ready to extend its claws into Black Pearl Harbor.

On that piece of land, a cathedral of unprecedented scale will be built. For the construction of this cathedral, the Kingdom of Saint Norman allocated one million gold coins, and the Holy Mountain Headquarters of the Holy Mother Church directly allocated a huge sum of two million gold coins.

Augustus even sent a telegram instructing the Kingdom of England's Commercial Office in Black Borneo to provide certain support in terms of funds and personnel to the missionary activities of the Virgin Mary Church in Black Borneo "as appropriate".

There is no money to be had.

And those Dongyun workers are all the support that Xing Tianli gives to the Holy Mother Church.

Even for the three meals a day of these Dongyun workers, Xing Tianli set strict standards - rice, kelp soup, dried smoked sea fish and fried eggs, etc. And these food expenses actually had to be purchased from Black Pearl Harbor with real money by Lucy and Lucia!
In this regard, both Lucy and Lucia expressed extreme dissatisfaction, but all the dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace amid the gunfire and artillery fire coming from the military training ground of the young indigenous people, less than three miles away from the construction site.

'Boom, boom, boom.'

There was a cautious knock on the door, and Beihe Cangyi held his throat and asked in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, may I come in?"

Xing Tianli responded.

Beihe Cangyi, Nanshan Manyue, and several important retainers of the Beihe and Nanshan families pushed open the door and walked in cautiously, led by Beihe Cangyi.

They walked through the office, came to the terrace, and knelt down with a thump.

"Your Majesty, we have already found out the details about Dongyun's current situation that you asked us to find out." Beihe Cangyi bowed respectfully to Xing Tianli and took out a thick stack of official documents from his sleeve.

Xing Tianli turned around, waved his hand, and the official document flew up and fell into his hand.

He flipped through the book carefully and said with emotion, "Are there so many nobles in Dongyun who have been infiltrated and bribed by the Secret Language Forest? In just a few days, the multinational coalition has captured another 35 islands in Dongyun?"

"Oh, the current Saint Emperor Ying Zhe has announced to the world that he wants everyone to perish together?" Xing Tianli clapped his hands and exclaimed: "If I understand correctly, Ying Zhe means that everyone should perish together?"

Beihe Cangyi laughed dryly: "That's what you say, but no one wants to die, right?"

"Especially, because of those traitors, they died in vain." Beihe Cangyi said angrily: "Your Majesty, the hydrological conditions of the inner waterways of Dongyun Thousand Islands are extremely complicated. If it weren't for those damn traitors leading the way, those barbaric ships would never have been able to invade the inner waters of Dongyun."

Nanshan Manyue also said, "It's really shameless. Those damn guys, they have failed the empire for a thousand years, and actually betrayed the empire because of some cheap women. They will definitely be reduced to ashes in the wrath of the empire. Even if they can resist the Holy Emperor's punitive army, the Supreme and Almighty Holy Lord will definitely make them die without a burial place!"

Holy Emperor?

Holy Lord?

Xing Tianli took out from his sleeve the telegrams from the past two days, which came from Oger, Augustus, and even Princess Yihe.

Xing Tianli put these telegrams and the military intelligence sent by Beihe Cangyi together, and clapped his hands. Suddenly, the thick stack of papers shattered with a "bang", exploding into tiny pieces of paper that were blown all over the sky by the sea breeze.

"Beihe Cangyi, raise the banner of serving the king." Xing Tianli narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Send a telegram to the world and say that your father, the current head of the Beihe family, colluded with Farus, Yidoli, Saint Ross and other countries to betray the Dongyun Island Alliance."

"As the natural first heir of the Beihe family, you feel deeply ashamed of your father's behavior. Your loyalty to the Dongyun Island Alliance, your loyalty to the current Saint Emperor, your loyalty to the Saint... ahem, I'm not good at speaking nice words, so you should write some nicer words in the telegram."

"In short, no matter how loyal and patriotic you are, or how glorious and great you are, as long as you are not afraid of losing face, just use nice words to describe yourself."

"By the way, let's curse your father and the current head of the Nanshan family together, and curse them more severely."

"Then, you said that you were deeply indignant, and that you had gathered all the justice-minded Dongyun nobles in Black Borneo, and formed an uprising army to return to the homeland to help and suppress the rebellion."

Beihe Cangyi and Nanshan Manyue both raised their heads and looked at Xing Tianli in horror.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Beihe Cangyi asked cautiously.

"Fight!" Xing Tianli uttered two words crisply: "In other words, fish in troubled waters, or take advantage of the chaos. In short, that's it."

He smiled at Beihe Cangyi and Nanshan Manyue, and said slowly: "Maybe one of you two has a chance to become the next Holy Emperor, right?"

Beihe Cangyi and Nanshan Manyue were both stunned, and then cold sweat broke out on their foreheads at the same time.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, how dare we have such ambitions?" Bei Hecang said with a flattering smile: "Even if there is a chance to replace the royal family, the new Holy Emperor must be you!"

Xing Tianli laughed and waved his hand vigorously: "Stop making noises and get ready. Requisition large ships that can be used by thirteen port cities including Black Pearl Harbor, White Giant Clam Harbor, and Pink Hawksbill Harbor. In seven days, the entire army will set out and head straight for Dongyun!"

Xing Tianli's order was not hidden, but was directly announced to the world.

As soon as his order was issued, Cai Jing and Wei Zhongxian came to visit together. They said that Zhao Song and Zhu Ming were willing to send out their elite troops to cooperate with Xing Tianli's crusade. The only condition was that Xing Tianli provide their soldiers with the most advanced weapons and firearms.

As soon as Cai Jing and Wei Zhongxian left, Sophie came to them with great interest. She said that she was willing to bring all her people to join the war against Dongyun. Whether the target was the multinational coalition forces, the Dongyun people, or attacking both at the same time, she was willing to follow Xing Tianli's orders and carry them out without compromise.

As soon as Sophie left, Lucia came up to Xing Tianli with her head held high.

"Dongyun? Is that the evil place ruled by the pagan evil god? Following the oracle of the Virgin Mary, we will bring them a thorough purification!"

In this regard, Xing Tianli did not refuse and agreed to all of them.

Seven days later.

Black Pearl Harbor.

More than three thousand passenger and cargo ships sounded their horns at the same time, forming a terrifying giant fleet and heading straight for Dongyun's homeland.
