Chapter 404: The Ten Nations Alliance, Yao Lian’s Role (1)

Since ancient times, there had been a saying that one’s achievements could cause jealousy from one’s master.

Back then, when Meng Bai conquered the southern barbarians and made a great contribution, he had taken the initiative to retire.

Being a general was sometimes a danger.

If it was Meng Bai or w.a.n.g Mu, if they had a private army of 30,000 people, it would definitely cause the emperor to be wary.

But Zhou Shu seemed to be different.

He was not only Great Xia’s King of the South but also Great Qin’s Side-by-side King and Great Liang’s Country Protector King.

Wary?

Should Emperor Yuan Feng be wary of him, or the Great Qin emperor, or was the Great Liang emperor?

It seemed all of them should be wary, yet maybe none of them.

One’s achievements could cause jealousy from one’s master. Was Zhou Shu going to threaten all three nations’ emperors with his achievements?

Meng Bai felt that if he were Emperor Yuan Feng, he wouldn’t know how to treat Zhou Shu, who had 30,000 private soldiers.

Speaking of which, their current camp seemed to be called the Huaxia Pavilion’s Ten Nations Martial Arts Battlefield Branch. Strictly speaking, it was also Zhou Shu’s private territory…

In that case, Zhou Shu’s current strength didn’t seem to be weaker than a nation…

If he really wanted to establish a nation or something, who among the Ten Nations could stop him?

Who would dare to stop him?

“Your Highness, what do we do with this Criminal Army?” Meng Bai asked tentatively.

“You will make the arrangements, Great General,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “The Criminal Army is also a part of the Ten Nations Alliance. When the remaining armies of the various nations in this world are gathered, it will be a complete Ten Nations Alliance.

“You’re all experts at war. My suggestion is that Great General Meng be the commander-in-chief of the Ten Nations Alliance and coordinate all battle matters.

“Of course, General w.a.n.g Mu, if you’re not convinced, you can challenge Great General Meng. If you defeat him, you can become the commander of the Ten Nations Alliance,” Zhou Shu said very casually.

Meng Bai and w.a.n.g Mu were speechless.

Could the commander-in-chief of the Ten Nations Alliance be decided so rashly?

Shouldn’t they call all the commanders of the Ten Nations together and then elect one of them?

But then again, not many people dared to disobey Zhou Shu.

Not to mention how heaven-defying Zhou Shu’s strength was, the Criminal Army was his private army. He himself was Great Xia’s King of the South, Great Qin’s Side-by-side King, and Great Liang’s Country Protector King.

Strictly speaking, Meng Bai and w.a.n.g Mu were both his subordinates…

In that case, at least four armies had to listen to Zhou Shu.

As such, one could only imagine the significance of what he had said…

Tang Chengs.h.i.+ was very depressed. Everyone was the commander-in-chief of a nation. Who was worse than who?

Why can Meng Bai and w.a.n.g Mu be the commanders of the Ten Nations Alliance, but I, Tang Chengs.h.i.+, can’t?

Just because you’re not a king of Great Jin?

b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, that’s no way to play it!

When I return, even if I have to mobilize the army, I will definitely make His Majesty confer the t.i.tle of a king upon Zhou Shu!

Although Meng Bai and w.a.n.g Mu were a little helpless, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhou Shu’s words meant that he had no intention of keeping the Criminal Army for himself. Otherwise, the two of them really wouldn’t know what to do.

As they continued into the camp, Meng Bai came to Zhou Shu’s side and whispered, “Your Highness, Emperor Wei Wu…”

“Nothing to worry about anymore,” Zhou Shu said, “Take care of the Demon Realm army here, and then we can besiege Wei to save Zhao.

“I’ll leave these matters to you, Great General.”

“Your Highness, you have already done so much. If we can’t take care of the rest, then the Ten Nations deserve to be destroyed,” Meng Bai said with a deep voice.

…

The arrival of the Criminal Army caused quite a stir in the camp.

But with Meng Bai, w.a.n.g Mu, and Tang Chengs.h.i.+ around, neither the Great Xia, Great Qin, nor Great Jin soldiers could cause any commotion.

As for Great Liang, only Cao Chenyang, Han Dazhi, and a few others were left. They had no objections to Zhou Shu’s actions.

“Pavilion Master, you’re finally back.”

Zhou Shu had just returned to the camp when someone welcomed him.

Apart from s.h.i.+ Songtao, no one else called Zhou Shu Pavilion Master.

“What happened?” Zhou Shu asked casually.

He had been gone for almost a month.

It was mainly because he had spent some time forging the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor.

This was even after Xiao Jianghe and the other forgers in the criminal army had helped him prepare the forging materials in advance. Otherwise, it might have taken even longer.

It seemed very cool to forge the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor in front of Meng Bai and the others, but behind the scenes, he had made preparations along the way.

“The Demon Realm army has already sent the agreed ten million kilograms of ore,” s.h.i.+ Songtao said solemnly. “Yao Lian has been a little unstable recently.”

Yao Lian was imprisoned in the camp. During Zhou Shu’s absence, Lu Wenshuang and Cao Chenyang, two first-rank martial artists, had been keeping an eye on Yao Lian.

Even though Zhou Shu had sealed Yao Lian’s spiritual essence cultivation, no one dared to let their guard down.

After all, the other party was a Great Demon. If he recovered his cultivation, everyone in the camp would die without Zhou Shu.

“The ore has been delivered? Already?” Zhou Shu was somewhat surprised.

“It’s already very slow.” s.h.i.+ Songtao smiled bitterly. Ten million kilograms of ore sounded like a lot, but the other party had a million soldiers. On average, a demonic beast only needed to dig out ten kilograms.

This was simply a piece of cake for the demonic beasts.

Moreover, Zhou Shu didn’t have any requirements for the quality of the ore.
