Chapter 662 Encounter (Part 2)
Time was limited, so Zhou Xu made good use of it to ask the questions quickly.
"By the way, is that attack that releases lightning a true word? How much do you know about it?"
"It should be the truth."
Xie Liancheng nodded.
"That guy had been hiding that trick before, so I didn't discover it until that battle. Judging from what I've seen so far, I guess it consumed a lot of energy. After that attack, I tried to get him to use it again, but he found an excuse to refuse."
At this point, Xie Liancheng quickly told Zhou Xu that Yan Sheng possessed a similar means of teleportation.
"This is also the main reason why I haven't taken action yet. Now that guy has the Thunder Mantra's attack method, it will be even more difficult to kill him."
It is very annoying that when you have lethal means in attack, you also have means to save your life.
At the same time, it is not difficult to see from Xie Liancheng's words just now that although Yan Sheng is very arrogant in military actions, he is very cowardly when his own life is in danger.
Previously, Xie Liancheng wanted to trick the other party into telling the truth, but Yan Sheng didn't take the bait at all.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Yan Sheng always keeps a trump card in mind to save his life, and will not foolishly hand it all over.
"Let's not talk about the lightning for now. How much do you know about the other party's teleportation mantra? Describe the whole process to me."
After hearing this, Xie Liancheng didn't waste any words and started describing it quickly.
"You said that when he was casting the mantra, he also spread out a scroll of animal skin?"
"Yes, I saw something like a formation drawn on the animal skin scroll."
Xie Liancheng nodded affirmatively.
"When he spoke the truth, the formation on the animal skin scroll unfolded, and then he disappeared into thin air."
[That animal skin scroll is undoubtedly a necessary item, otherwise the other party would not have needed to do so.]
[I've never heard of a mantra that can be used in conjunction with an item. Is it something like magic equipment?]
As the thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu began to ask about various details regarding this method of transmission.
But what Xie Liancheng knew was really limited.
He only knew that Yan Sheng had this life-saving teleportation method, but the other party did not use it frequently.
"In other words, Yan Sheng did not use this means of transmission for military purposes?"
You know, the moment Zhou Xu heard about the means of transmission, the first thing he thought of was to use it to transmit troops and military equipment.
Imagine that if there is a war on the border, the troops in the capital can directly drop from the sky by teleportation. What a huge advantage this is! Zhou Xu didn't think Yan Sheng would not understand such a simple thing.
The other party did not do so, so there must be some huge limitations in this means of transmission. Otherwise, it would be stupid not to use such a huge advantage.
If one wants to cause civil unrest in the other country, directly killing Yan Sheng, the supreme ruler, is undoubtedly the most effective way, but it is not the only way.
After all, judging from the current situation, it is really difficult to kill Yan Sheng.
At the same time, he didn't intend to let Jie Liancheng take this risk.
The lightning didn't take Qiansui's life, but that doesn't mean Liancheng's life would be lost. This would be too dangerous.
Zhou Xu is not the kind of person who would stick to one path. If one path doesn't work, he will try another one. He always does that.
"Do you think the remaining 7,000 troops can be recruited?"
While asking this question, Zhou Xu directly told Li Liancheng about his plan.
His plan was a typical open conspiracy and he was not afraid of anyone knowing it.
Under this premise, Jie Liancheng definitely knows more about the current situation in the other country than he does.
Instead of analyzing and thinking about it myself, it would be better to just ask Jie Liancheng directly.
After learning about Zhou Xu's plan, Xie Liancheng knew clearly that what Zhou Xu was concerned about was how much impact Yan Sheng's wave of conscription would bring to the country, and whether it might even directly cause unrest.
"In my opinion, many people died when the Wei Kingdom was forcibly conquered. This year, due to the war here, we have recruited soldiers twice, and the number has exceeded 5,000. At the same time, the number of casualties is estimated to have reached 2,000 to 3,000. There is already a lot of dissatisfaction among the people. Under this situation, if we recruit another 7,000 troops, there will definitely be trouble inside."
Having said that, Xie Liancheng changed the subject.
"But I can't guarantee whether it will cause unrest or not."
Zhou Xu nodded to this answer and then changed the question.
"So how is your appeal in the army?"
As the general of the opposing side, if Xie Liancheng could rise up in rebellion at the right time, it would undoubtedly have a good effect.
However, faced with this question, Xie Liancheng scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I can't say there is none, but you'd better not have too high expectations."
“…”
Feeling Zhou Xu's gaze, Xie Liancheng couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
"Don't look at me like that. I was given the title of a great general purely because I can fight. After coming to this world, I found that although I can fight, I can't lead troops. I am definitely not fit to be the Grand Marshal of the world's army."
Zhou Xu still had some idea about Xie Liancheng's statement that he was incapable of leading troops. After all, he had already found an opportunity to look at Xie Liancheng's attribute panel on the wall of Huangsha City before.
Now, just in case, he checked again.
【Eye of Insight! 】
"What are you doing?"
"A mantra that can confirm your attribute panel."
As Zhou Xu spoke, he once again looked at Li Liancheng's attribute panel.
Name: Jie Liancheng Gender: Male Age: 24 Race: Human
Status: None
Mantra: None Talent: Unparalleled General: He has unparalleled combat power and is a top general! Bravery: ★★★★☆ Intelligence: ★★
Spirit: ★★☆ Stamina: ★★★☆
Command: ★★
This five-dimensional attribute, in terms of individual combat power alone, can be said to be very powerful. At the same time, it was also the first time he saw a fierce man whose bravery level officially reached four stars. No wonder this guy was so powerful outside Huangsha City before!
But just as Xie Liancheng himself recognized, although he was a top-notch general, he had no talent for leading troops. With a two-star command, he could only lead a small unit at most.
Although Zhou Xu had known this for a long time, he thought that Xie Liancheng was a general after all, and he should have some reputation in the opposing army. Now it seems that he thought too much.
"How is it? My attribute panel?"
After listening to this, Zhou Xu briefly explained it to him, and Xie Liancheng nodded.
"It's the same as what's shown on my own panel."
As the chosen one of God, although Jie Liancheng does not have the "Eye of Insight" and cannot see other people's attribute panels, he can confirm his own attribute panel through the system interface.
This is also the core reason why he is so sure that he has no ability to lead troops.
However, after traveling through time for so long, he has long passed the stage of confusion and entered a state of playing badly.
