It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it.
Xu Cheng felt this deeply at this moment.
The land of the Far North is very large. If you really count it, its coverage area is even larger than the Star Dou Great Forest. If the Sun-Moon Empire wants to station troops there, not to mention the extra expenses for border subsidies, if Shrek wants to stop Tianhun and make another secret move, a lot of troops will have to be invested.
Does the Sun-Moon Empire have few troops?
It is definitely not a small number. The five major national protectors alone have nearly 6,000 elite soldiers, plus nearly 100,000 low-level soldiers. The number is in no way inferior to the original continental empires such as Xingdou and Tianhun.
But the problem is that the business has grown so big that these soldiers are not enough.
The Royal Soul Instructor Corps is the true king's division. They will not be easily mobilized unless there is a major war. They set up camp near the Mingdu royal family. As for the other four beast soul division corps, two must be left to guard Mingdu.
Now, they have sent the Fire Phoenix and the Imperial Dragon to Xingluo to station there, so as to cooperate with the Xingdou Great Forest. As for the place in the Far North...
Forget it. When the time comes, we will draw two battalions from the Evil Lord stationed in Mingdu, and two battalions from the Imperial Dragon stationed in Xingdou, so that we can at least put together the combat power of a soul guide group.
Things are calm now.
The Haotian Sect was shocked. They had two extreme combat powers but were restrained.
However, the people of Shrek Academy and the Body Sect were completely defeated. If the former had not been blessed by the demigod and the latter had not had the complex terrain, they would have been easily defeated.
Xu Cheng pondered.
What’s important is that with the development of soul guide technology, it is no longer an era that relies solely on the number of people. A few high-level soul guides, operating a few monitoring soul guides, can see the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers from the sky. Refer to the original book, in which Orange relied on his equipment advantage to hide the truth.
The entire Far North’s border with the Sky Souls and Douling in the south is a full 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers long. One Protector of the Nation can only be said to be a bit of a stretch, but it’s enough…
The core of the Far North.
There was still heavy snow all over the sky, and the world looked hazy and mysterious.
A forbidden area in the eyes of humans.
Sitting cross-legged at this moment were A-Tai, Xiaobai, the chief of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, and the chief of the Ice Silkworm clan.
Almost all those who can sit here are the hundred thousand year old ferocious beasts in the Far North. The only one who is trembling is the chief of the Ice Silkworm Clan, a spiritual soul beast who just passed ten thousand years old.
In fact, for it, there doesn't seem to be much difference between being killed by humans to make spirit rings and being devoured by other races.
So when it was pulled out of a thousand-meter-deep ice cave by the Ice Scorpion Chieftain without a word, it almost begged for mercy and cried for the other side to spare its life, but it didn't expect that no matter how much it begged, it was useless and was thrown here directly.
The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet.
The Ice Silkworm Chief, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, caught a glimpse of the most eye-catching person...Xu Cheng.
He was not the Titan Snow Demon King. Although the latter was dozens of meters tall when sitting, as tall as a hill, he was the only one who did not fit in among the truly powerful men and top-level ferocious beasts in the Far North.
The latter's peaceful aura, as well as the lack of hostility and even a hint of respect shown by the crowd, showed that this human boy was not simple.
It is true to say that he is meticulous. After all, as a member of the Ice Silkworm Clan, even if he has reached the position of clan leader, he lives every day in fear and trembling, treading on thin ice, for fear that one day these ferocious beasts will get excited and take him as a snack.
In the soul beast world, strength is respected. Those with strong bloodlines are born noble. The food chain is rigidified, with one layer eating the next. They, the spiritual soul beasts, even their ancestor whose age is a mystery, are hunted down and killed in the same way.
"The leader of the Ice Silkworm Clan?"
Xu Cheng looked at it with a smile.
"Yes, I am..." The latter hurriedly moved his huge body, puffing across the snow, and put on a humble attitude.
"Are all members of the Ice Silkworm Clan so smooth-talking?" Xu Cheng became more interested.
"..." The latter was silent and said nothing.
But in the sea of spirit.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned into a mini silkworm and appeared on Xu Cheng's shoulder. Looking at the huge ice silkworm in front of him, he sighed softly, "There's nothing we can do. In the soul beast circle of the Far North, ice silkworms are a natural and excellent food. In order to survive, we will build nests in very deep places to give birth and lay eggs, but the problem is... You see how familiar this kid is with the place, I'm afraid he has already figured out all our secrets."
"If it weren't for the slippery slope, I'm afraid our tribe would have been wiped out long ago."
Xu Cheng nodded slightly when he heard this.
Although Tianmeng looks carefree, he is actually quite miserable.
“…”
As Tian Meng's voice fell.
The Ice Scorpion clan leader turned his head away in embarrassment, while the Ice Silkworm clan leader suddenly raised his head.
"You, you are... Ancestor Tianmeng?!"
The latter showed an excited look.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people in the clan who know me." Tianmeng Bingcan smiled with a gentle tone.
“When I was a child, I had the honor of meeting you. At that time, you were already a ferocious beast hundreds of thousands of years old. I didn’t expect that now…” the patriarch of the Ice Silkworm Clan said with emotion.
“Haha, a ferocious beast. How can a spiritual soul beast be worthy of being called a ferocious beast? Even if it’s a million years old, alas…” Tian Meng shook his head.
"Forget it."
"Acheng, if you have anything to say to them, just say it." Tianmeng stopped talking.
"Haha, do you want to join the Sun and Moon Empire?" Xu Cheng smiled.
"Sun and Moon Empire?"
Under the confused gaze of the Ice Silkworm Chief, the Ice Scorpion Chief recounted everything that happened today, including the human invasion and Xu Cheng's rescue. The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor also told the story.
"Of course!" The Ice Silkworm Clan leader was excited, "From now on, we are the Sun and Moon Soul Beasts!"
It seemed to understand a little why it was called.
Because of the ancestor and this human, perhaps the situation of the Ice Silkworm Clan will change...
But what Xu Cheng said was certainly not just what it seemed.
"The Sun and Moon Soul Beasts I'm talking about are different from the other soul beasts in the Far North. You... are to be included in the organization."
Xu Cheng said.
Actually from the very beginning.
He was quite interested in the Ice Silkworm Clan, which was a clan of pure spiritual power.
If it were a human spiritual master, he would have treated it as a treasure long ago, but soul beasts are treated as food... Of course, this also has limitations. After all, humans can replenish themselves by hunting soul beasts, or fight with their companions and serve as an extreme auxiliary, and they can even use soul guides to become combat soul masters.
However, soul beasts are mainly group-based, and there is no team mode like that of humans where they fight side by side, and the spiritual system is just the spiritual system.
So in his eyes, the Ice Silkworm Clan actually has great potential.
Even if all other soul beasts in the entire Far North were tied together, they would not be able to match it.
After all, why is spiritual power such a scarce resource among the human race, especially in the Sun-Moon Empire?
Because mental power + soul guide = monitoring soul guide.
Mental power + soul power + soul guide = mecha... (End of this chapter)
