Chapter 1166: The Undead and the Kushan Conspiracy
"The Han army has actually wandered into this area!" Meng Kangbu felt not very good.
After the Battle of Heaven, any discerning person could see how strong the Han army was. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were not even as strong as the Han army, but even so, they were already suffering terribly. If they really lost the land, even if their navy could resist the Han army for a while, how could they resist the Han army forever?
After all, the navy is dependent on the army.
Meng Kangbu was very distressed, but he had no better solution. There was no way because the Han Dynasty was strong in all aspects.
If it weren't for the Undead Empire's deliberate containment, the southern and northern Kushans would have to face an additional 200,000 guards. Even if they were all cavalry, it would have been enough to give them a headache.
"General, where are we going now?" Alalu looked at Moncombu, hoping that he could give him some advice.
After all, they were no match for the Han Dynasty's two fleets. If they hadn't run fast just now, they might have suffered a large loss again.
There's no way to stay in this area anymore, let's prepare to run away to somewhere else.
"Let's go to the southern continent! Send a message to the orcs to suspend the transaction, and send someone to talk to the Undead Empire." Montcomb said calmly.
"General, look, the undead seem to have sent someone to negotiate with us?" Alalu suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "There is only one man and one dragon!"
"Let them in and see what they say!" Montcombe waved his hand to signal his officers to let them in.
"Respected Kushan commander, may I know your name? I am Mondesk, and I bring greetings from the Lord of the Dead."
Mondesk's true form is a lich. He jumped off the bone dragon and landed steadily in front of Moncomb.
"Greetings to the Lord of the Undead, I am Meng Kangbu, the commander of the Kushan fleet !" Meng Kangbu replied politely.
"The great Lord of the Undead has issued a revelation that we should unite to deal with the Han fleet. What do you think?" The undead fire in Mondesk's eyes surged, and he seemed very excited about this proposal.
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Meng Kangbu raised his eyebrows. He was indeed very interested if he could cut off an arm of the Han Dynasty.
"This is the first time we are working together. The great Lord of the Undead has given us a revelation that we can take the lead, and then you can come in and complete the kill!" Mondesk's Undead Fire began to jump, as if a cooperation had been reached.
"Oh? Then, what's the price?" Montcomb asked with a sneer.
"You just need to deliver our fifteen large ships in advance!" Mondsk said cheerfully.
"Fifteen ships? You are really greedy!" Montcomb frowned. This number was neither too much nor too little, and it just met his bottom line.
"You know, if you want to defeat a fleet like that, something has to give!" Mondesk said seriously.
After he witnessed the blow he inflicted on Zheng He, he put the idea of mastering naval warfare out of his mind.
After learning this, Arthas issued an order to make Zheng He join the ranks of the undead at all costs.
The method is very simple. They just need to kill Zheng He, and then they will get an undead version of Zheng He.
For this, Arthas was willing to sacrifice the entire Undead Navy and temporarily form an alliance with the Kushans.
Meng Kangbu pondered for a moment. Their Kushan shipyard was very advanced and it would only take a few months to build fifteen large ships.
But there is one problem that cannot be ignored, and that is the naval power of the Undead.
If the level is too low, I'm afraid we'll be delivering food to the Han Dynasty.
However, after pondering for a long time, Meng Kangbu nodded. The undead are the enemies of the orcs. No matter how much trouble the undead can cause to the Han Dynasty, it will definitely bring huge losses.
For them, the only price they had to pay was fifteen large ships.
"I can make the decision and give you twenty ships..." Montcombe paused here.
"What is the price!" Mondesk's Undead Fire was very calm, without the previous arrogance.
"I need to go to the defense zone of the elves and humans. You need to give way until the new ship is built!" Moncombut revealed his true intentions.
"I agree to your conditions!" Mondesk looked at Moncomb deeply, then nodded.
This is actually a good thing for the undead.
Because Moncomb took away the elite troops, he was weakening the power of these three families, which was very important for the undead.
After the two people reached an agreement, each getting what they wanted, Mondesk flew away.
Looking at the back of Mondesk as he left, Moncomb sneered twice. They were using each other for their own ulterior motives. The undead could not be trusted after all.
"Go down and prepare. Let's go find our good allies first!" Moncombu turned and said to Alalu.
Their main target this time is still the Minotaur and Elephant Men of the Bloodhoof Tribe. This type of orcs can be in line with their local visualization of gods and Buddhas.
The hundreds of Tauren who had gone to Kushan before have now all possessed their internal energy . Coupled with the elite talents of double talents and their own racial advantages, their combat power is enough to rival those with normal three talents.
They are an important fighting force for them, so they urgently need to reach a new agreement with the orcs and bring back a group of Tauren.
The Han troops in the south and the north were ready to move, so they had to make plans early.
"General, I heard that the higher-ups are researching resurrection..." Alalu hesitated to speak.
Montcomb glanced at the other person and nodded. The other person was his confidant and knew about this matter.
"So, we can be resurrected?" Alalu was a little happy. Casualties are inevitable on the battlefield. It would be a blessing for them if they could survive.
"It's hard to say. The wreckage of heaven has certainly accelerated the pace of research... but the results now are far from ideal!" Montcomb knew what these people were planning to do.
After Cecilion dies, he will be resurrected, so that the Kushan navy can transform from strategic passivity to strategic initiative.
The younger Cecilian is not something that the half-baked Zhou Yu can contend with. By then, they can tie down the main naval forces of the Han Dynasty and do more.
However, the technology is now stuck at the last step, and no matter how they revive, they cannot achieve complete resurrection.
They planned to start with Rahul first. If they could bring Rahul back to the human world, then Cecilian would surely be successful by then.
Some researchers believe that 20% of the remains are not enough and further remains are needed, so the Kushan side is also actively organizing young people to participate in the fight for the remains.
Masinde's abilities played a significant role in recruiting many outstanding talents from all walks of life across the country.
However, although the army has recruited enough talents, the navy still has not made any progress. The talents that have been recruited can serve as captains, but they are definitely not capable of commanding a fleet.
This resulted in all the pressure being on Montcomb, making him physically and mentally exhausted. The pressure made him feel like he couldn't breathe.
This was also the reason why he accepted the mission and ran away from Kushan. The expectations everyone placed on him were too heavy for him to bear.
On the other side, Gan Ning boarded Zheng He's main ship and was somewhat amazed. It was much bigger than his ship. They were both governors-general of the four seas, so why was there such differential treatment?
"This is the latest ship. You will have it when you return!" Zheng He said with a smile.
"Is this the aircraft carrier?" Gan Ning's eyes lit up.
"No, that one has been dismantled. This is a treasure ship, a new type of large ship. It is said that we will be equipped with three to five of them in the future!" Zheng He patted the edge of the ship, his eyes full of anticipation.
Just like the talent of the Army, in the end it still has to rely on its own quality to support it.
Naval battles ultimately depend on the quality of the ships, and this treasure ship, which is larger than any Kushan ship, is obviously extremely powerful.
"This is just a semi-finished product. The most important thing has not been installed yet, otherwise I would not have given up the pursuit just now!" Zheng He pointed to the bow of the ship, which was a little empty at the moment.
"Has the Sky Tribulation Cannon been developed?" Gan Ning was a little surprised.
The Taoists and Mohists did something cool. They took a part of Han Xin's body, made it into a fuse, stuffed it into a turret, and fired it out at super high speed.
As long as the speed is fast enough, it will inevitably trigger the bombardment of heavenly thunder in places without the protection of the imperial will.
At present, the power of the sky thunder bombardment is extremely strong, and even the collective defense is difficult to contend with. It seems that one shot can almost destroy three or four ships.
However, this is just one way of using it. The real use of the Heavenly Tribulation Cannon involves the reference of space and time. Gan Ning is not clear about the specific principle, but he knows that the thing is to put the power of the Heavenly Tribulation into the turret and then spray it out, which can almost deal with any opponent.
And the best thing is that the caliber of the Sky Tribulation Cannon is very large. Even without the above-mentioned things, the electromagnetic acceleration brought about by the etching of the essence of heaven and earth alone is enough to make the cannonballs unleash devastating destructive power.
"It's not yet complete, but it will definitely be on your new ship. By then, you will be the first to have such a weapon!" A hint of envy flashed across Zheng He's face.
Today's naval battles are basically based on strong ships and powerful guns. The attacks launched through self-circulating attacks are devastating.
However, Gan Ning did not expect that he would be intercepted after he returned.
The person who intercepted him was Sun Quan, who had escaped from the tiankeng in Central Asia after being defeated.
Sun Quan had been tempered to a perfect form in the long war, but he met Cao Pi. After a passionate battle with Cao Pi, Sun Quan simply left the territory to Cao Ang and ran away.
There are four governors-general of the four seas. In addition to Zhou Yu, Zheng He and Gan Ning, the fourth one is Sun Quan. This was promised to Sun Quan by Guo Hao.
Although Sun Quan's record in Central Asia was not very good, he did prove his ability.
Especially in the last battle, the monarch's talent was further awakened, becoming able to check and balance more things.
For example, in terms of speed, Sun Quan can keep the distance between two troops always the same. This is not very useful on land and seems to have no meaning except for escaping. However, it is a magical skill for pursuit at sea.
Maintaining the same distance and firing at each other's guns is itself a major feature of naval warfare, and Sun Quan can forcibly maintain this rhythm when necessary, which is obviously of great significance for naval warfare.
When Lu Su discovered that Sun Quan had such ability, he immediately reported to Luoyang.
And considering that Sun Quan once conquered a Cana at sea, it seems that he does have the potential to become a maritime overlord.
After Chen Xi and Guo Hao discussed it for a while, they directly transferred Sun Quan to the sea to solidify his title of Governor-General of the Four Seas, and then allocated a brand new treasure ship to Sun Quan.
However, Lu Xun and Lu Meng did not follow Sun Quan to the sea, but stayed in Central Asia and joined the Yuan family.
Let’s go back in time a little.
After the Battle of Heaven, Sun Quan began to prepare his troops and planned to continue to grow bigger and stronger.
Then he faced off against Cao Pi, who had the same idea, and the two chose to decide the outcome by the ownership of the wreckage of heaven.
The main reason is that Cao Pi has a lot of mercenaries. The Kushans can cooperate with people from the American continent. As the organizer of the interstate trade chamber of commerce, Cao Pi can naturally get a lot of mercenaries.
Especially creatures like blood elves, or some neutral races, such as two-headed ogres, trolls, and elven dragons.
The maximum combat power of these creatures requires some preparation to be effective, so Cao Pi had to choose to fight externally.
Although Sun Quan felt it was dangerous, it was indeed much milder than a real life-and-death battle. He didn't want to experience the feeling of almost losing a close friend a second time.
" Ziming, are you reading a book?" Sun Quan walked to Lu Meng's room and found that Lu Meng was reading a military book.
"Alas, external force is external force after all. I have to improve myself!" Lu Meng pointed to his chest with a wry smile. The last time he relied on the hand of the god of war, he was almost killed by a hammer.
To wake him up from his fantasy of invincibility, Han Xin and others said that the best way to improve the basics is to read military books.
During his recovery, Lu Meng developed the habit of reading.
"Things are different now. How about it? Do you have the confidence to fight again? " Sun Quan looked directly into Lu Meng's eyes. "You have rested long enough. My Grand Commander, change back to his position!"
"Who are we fighting this time?" Lu Meng stood up and asked without saying much.
"Cao Pi! Or more people!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice.
The battle for the wreckage of heaven was very fierce. Wu Zhao, Liu Chan and others encountered tough opponents, and both sides were defeated in the end, and no one could take the wreckage.
So this time Sun Quan didn't know what kind of opponents they would encounter when they entered the wreckage.
"That's really exciting!" Lu Meng's eyes flashed with a strong desire to fight. This time he wanted to test his command ability.
"Where is Lu Boyan?" Lu Meng was a little curious. When Sun Quan came to see him today, he didn't bring Lu Xun with him.
"I'm reorganizing the army and waiting for you to arrive!" Sun Quan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"This time, I won't lose!" Lu Meng also stretched out his hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.
As if he was swearing or making a promise, Lu Meng said it seriously.
"I believe you!" Sun Quan said without hesitation, "We will definitely win!"
