King of Creation Chapter 2098 - 2083: Surprise Troops

Ye Zhen originally just wanted to obtain some Five-clawed Golden Dragon blood essence. A surprise indeed to find the essence blood of Ancient Divine Dragon was among them.

This way, Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body might make significant progress again.

Although Ye Zhen understood, for Ren Venerate Emperor to grant this priceless Dragon Clan blood essence, the task he had in mind for Ye Zhen must be exceedingly difficult.

But the problem is, even if Ye Zhen doesn’t take it, the difficulty of the task won’t decrease.

Thus, Ye Zhen took it all with the intention to give his utmost effort.

Anyhow, Ye Zhen possesses sincere loyalty, but he certainly won’t be foolish enough to truly serve the Great Zhou Dynasty blindly.

Upon receiving the storage ring filled with Dragon Clan blood essence from Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu, Ye Zhen was grinning from ear to ear.

However, Ye Zhen was someone who knew how to please others.

On the spot, he painfully took out a third of the Dragon Clan blood essence, offering it to Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu, "Sir, this is a small token from your subordinate, please accept it with a smile!"

Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu looked at Ye Zhen with a half-smile and gave him a harsh flick, "This is something His Majesty bestowed upon you, I wouldn’t dare to take it without a good reason.

However, considering your filial piety, I’ll take ten barrels of the Ancient Divine Dragon blood essence, and leave the rest."

"It’s still nice that the official cares for his subordinate!" Ye Zhen smiled outwardly, but his heart was bleeding. Those ten barrels of Ancient Divine Dragon blood essence were worth hundreds of times more than the ten thousand barrels of Five-clawed Golden Dragon blood essence.

The key is, they’re rare!

See that, even treasures that make someone like Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu tempted, they must be incredibly rare!

Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu seemed to notice Ye Zhen’s inner pain, "I wouldn’t accept your benefits for nothing. Here are five Soul Pearls of Late Stage Realm King Realm’s Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals, I’ll also give them to you, to save you from calling me shallow-eyed!"

Ye Zhen froze for a moment, then his eyes crinkled into crescent moons.

Totally worth it!

This trade is extraordinarily worthwhile.

Ten barrels of Ancient Divine Dragon blood essence in exchange for five Late Stage Realm King Realm, equivalent to Dao Realm experts, Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals, is immensely valuable.

It’s like Ye Zhen suddenly gained five Dao Realm experts from nowhere.

"It seems the benefits should indeed be shared among everyone!" Taking the storage ring, Ye Zhen could barely restrain his laughter.

"Sir, having received these benefits, may I ask what the secret decree from His Majesty entails?" Ye Zhen asked earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu smiled mysteriously, "The secret decree is just wait for it to arrive. When the time is right, His Majesty will naturally issue the secret decree, and you only need to adhere to it at that time."

"Ah?"

After that, Grand Celestial Official Wu Yu once again disappeared into thin air, leaving Ye Zhen stunned and baffled.

Ye Zhen wanted to know what Ren Venerate Emperor specifically required of him, so he could prepare in advance.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an emergency secret edict, estimating the matter to be even more challenging.

It seems that the world’s benefits cannot be obtained freely or effortlessly.

However, Ye Zhen could confirm one thing: since it’s an emergency secret edict, then what Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long requires of Ye Zhen is surely related to the Human-Demon Battlefield.

....

At the Earl’s Mansion of North Sea County, Gu Tieqi, Liuu Feng, Fengg Jiumo, Tang Biao, Qiao Hong, Xuan Hu, Sunx Ba, Hu Qingtong, Zhu Hong, Liao Feibai, and the transformed human forms of both Great Saint Jinghai and Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, along with the current army commanders, Military, Household, Ceremonial, Works, Personnel, and Punishment Ministers, gathered together.

This meeting was the first public appearance of Ye Zhen at North Sea County after receiving the co-defense military order for the Human Demon Battlefield.

Not only was it to discuss important matters but to also ensure complete stabilization of public sentiment in North Sea County.

"Lord, currently the selection for soldiers and leaders to be dispatched to the Human Demon Battlefield has been entirely finalized. Among the twenty thousand soldiers, the lowest cultivation level is First Stage Establishment.

Among them, with cultivation at the Early Stage Establishment Realm, there are more than fifty thousand, Mid Establishment Realm has over forty thousand, Late Establishment Realm has more than twenty thousand, and those at Dao Entrance Realm total over sixty thousand.

The mid-level leaders at Divine Communication Realm currently amount to over twenty thousand, whereas leaders at Dark Palace Realm number only a thousand.

This is the overall strength of the twenty thousand army, additionally, twenty thousand Vein Forging Realm soldiers have been selected to assume logistical duties on the battlefield." Reported by County Captain Tang Biao.

"Lord, currently our North Sea County has gathered resources to supply the consumption of twenty-two thousand troops for two years. However, based on our North Sea County’s transport capacity, we can only deliver six months of supplies at one time.

With continuous transport, supplemented by supplies from the Human-Demon Battlefield Governor’s Mansion, there is no need to worry about four years of rations.

Continued gathering will ensure provision is not an issue.

Additionally, various models of crossbow bolts have accumulated over ten million, various materials meet the combat readiness requirements." County Chancellor Qiao Hong said, handing Ye Zhen a Jade Scroll containing detailed data on various supplies.

However, transportation continues to be a major issue.

If transporting rations and military amory together, only three months of supplies can be delivered at one time.

And it takes half a year for a single round trip from North Sea County to the Human Demon Battlefield.

Under such circumstances, North Sea County requires two supply teams rotating continuously to meet the consumption needs of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea.

Without any problems arising.

Historically, logistics and supply were tremendous issues in warfare.

However, Ye Zhen quickly resolved this issue.

For others, this would be an immense challenge.

Even if one possesses storage rings or the like, the storage space is extremely limited. But the space inside Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl is akin to a Little World, capable of carrying ample supplies.

One individual after another reported, with one practical issue after another being continuously resolved.

Subsequently, Ye Zhen also arranged one task after another based on needs.

This time to collaborate on the Human-Demon Battlefield is no ordinary occasion, Ye Zhen needs to make full preparations as much as possible.

The date for the army’s departure has been set for two months later.

Normally, traveling from North Sea County to the Human-Demon Battlefield takes five to six months. To prevent any potential accidents, Ye Zhen has reserved seven months for the journey, enough to handle any unforeseen events.

There are numerous aspects to this meeting.

Not all of Ye Zhen’s confidants can be taken along; some must stay to oversee North Sea County and the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy.

This meeting lasted from morning until dawn before concluding.

Despite that, it wasn’t over yet. Ye Zhen asked Great Saint of Jinghai and three others, Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, and Xuan Hu, who traveled from afar, to stay.

As for Senior Sister Liao Feibai and Hu Qingtong, they went to chat with Chi Ling’er at the first opportunity upon meeting.

This is a problem that gives Ye Zhen a headache just thinking about it. Just the thought of how Senior Sister and Hu Qingtong look at him makes Ye Zhen want to flee.

However, at the moment, Ye Zhen can’t afford to deal with it.

"Brother, the Human-Demon Battlefield is a meat grinder. Your troops are still not strong enough. Tell us, what should we do?" After the meeting, Great Saint of Jinghai spoke directly.

"I need a special unit!"

"A special unit?" Great Saint of Jinghai, Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and Sea-Breaking Great Saint blinked simultaneously, "Although there is a water system within the Human-Demon Battlefield, it cannot accommodate a large number of the Water Clan.

Moreover, the patrol on the Human-Demon Battlefield is strict, and a large number of the Water Clan cannot enter.

How about this, one of us three will stay to guard the Water Mansion, and we will draw a contingent of about a thousand elite Water Clan of the Dark Palace Realm to join your army?" Great Saint of Jinghai suggested.

Ye Zhen slowly shook his head, "Currently, I am in the open while my enemies are hidden! The more I prepare, the more I reveal my strength, the stronger the forces my enemies will mobilize.

Therefore, I need a hidden special unit that the enemy doesn’t know about."

"But..."

"Don’t worry about how to bring them into the Human-Demon Battlefield, I need twenty thousand elite of the Water Clan," Ye Zhen said.

"What’s the use of just twenty thousand? Our Water Clan, if nothing else, has great numbers. Not to mention twenty thousand, a hundred thousand is no problem," Great Sage of the Overturning Sea chimed in.

"A hundred thousand?"

Ye Zhen smiled wryly, "No, twenty thousand is enough, any more and I can’t afford to feed them."

The Demon Race, especially the Water Clan, the stronger their cultivation, the greater their appetite. The ocean is vast and boundless, with endless food, so there’s no worry about supplies.

But on the Human-Demon Battlefield, they would have to rely entirely on Ye Zhen’s supply.

If he brought along a hundred thousand Water Demons, feeding them could bankrupt Ye Zhen.

"Alright, twenty thousand it is. We will select those with strong abilities but not too large an appetite for you to command," Great Saint of Jinghai decided.

Ye Zhen nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he brought out the Dragon Clan Blood Essence from Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long’s Imperial Palace Treasure Vault.

This Essence Blood from the Five-clawed Silver Dragon can greatly enhance the strength of the Water Clan in a short period.

For Ye Zhen at present, a million barrels of Five-clawed Silver Dragon Essence Blood is less useful than ten thousand barrels of Five-clawed Golden Dragon Essence Blood.

Moreover, this Essence Blood from the Dragon Clan is greatly beneficial to any Demon Race.

Hence, Zhu Hong, Sunx Ba, and Xuan Hu each receive a share.

Not only the Essence Blood from the Five-clawed Silver Dragon but Ye Zhen also brought out five hundred barrels of Five-clawed Golden Dragon Essence Blood to share among the six people.

Even the remaining ninety barrels of Ancient Divine Dragon Essence Blood, Ye Zhen brought out thirty barrels, giving five barrels to each person.

These can enable Great Saint of Jinghai, Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and Sea-Breaking Great Saint to rapidly boost their strength in a short time.

The remaining sixty barrels of Ancient Divine Dragon Essence Blood, Ye Zhen left a portion for Hu Qingtong, Chi Ling’er, Liao Feibai, and the little cat, while he himself can only use thirty to forty barrels.

Giving away so much, Ye Zhen isn’t distressed at all.

If one of these brothers were to fall, Ye Zhen would be truly heartbroken!

Happily accepting the Dragon Clan Essence Blood, Great Saint of Jinghai and the other two cupped their hands towards Ye Zhen, "Brothers, let’s not say more. In two months, let’s meet again!"

After speaking, the three transformed into a vapor and shot into the sky, disappearing instantly.

Left behind, Sunx Ba, Xuan Hu, and Zhu Hong looked at one another, then glanced at the inner courtyard. Zhu Hong finally spoke, "Um, brother, why not just avoid the inner courtyard today and let’s brothers drink until we rest!"

Bam!

The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba kicked Zhu Hong’s rear, "Is your brain stuffed with fat? At this moment, you’re still holding onto Ye Zhen?"

"I’m...I’m just trying to share Ye Brother’s worries?"

"Share your head!"

Sunx Ba kicked Zhu Hong again, and with a swirl of flames, dragged Zhu Hong and Xuan Hu far away in an instant.

"Brother, tonight, you should seek your own fortune!"

Ye Zhen looked at the inner courtyard, his brow furrowed deeply.

On one hand, after a journey bringing back a semi-mature child along with his wife, with the child not yet formally establishing a home, here arises a competitor.

Such worries!
