In the Dali Palace, Emperor Yong'an, the current emperor of Dali, was holding a cowhide scroll and looking at it carefully.
Below him, senior civil and military officials of the third rank and above from Dali were lined up on both sides.
"My dear friends, I think you have read this secret letter from the aliens. On the ninth day of March, the aliens will attack the Daqian border. What should we do?"
Emperor Yong'an put the scroll aside casually, looking deeply at the ministers below.
Although there was a border barrier between Daqian and Dali, both sides secretly sent countless spies to the enemy's country for spying and gathering intelligence.
Even if he didn't tell everything about what happened in Daqian, he probably knew the situation.
Nowadays, most of the innate strong men in Daqian have been seriously injured and cannot easily take action.
Even Emperor Daqian suffered heavy losses after encircling and suppressing the foreign tribes, and finally died directly.
Then there was another royal family who wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, but in the end one person appeared to bring order to the chaos and suppressed everything forcefully.
And as far as he knew, the person who brought order to the chaos was none other than Chen Mo, whom he had met some time ago.
This really surprised him. He really couldn't understand how this person cultivated to be able to break through the innate realm so easily.
However, these issues did not have a big impact on him. They just argued a few times about whether to take the opportunity to invade Daqian.
It's the same even this time. If we really join forces with the foreign tribes to attack them, even if we can't directly destroy Dagan, we can still attack the city and seize the territory.
But doing so is not necessarily beneficial to the royal family. It is hard to say whether the newly acquired territory will be controlled by the imperial court or by those big families.
"My government should build strong horses and strong troops to attack Daqian with the foreign tribes. Although my Dali and the foreign tribes belong to different places, they are still in despair.
If the alien race is wiped out by the Great Qian, then I, the Great Li, may be next! "
An official took the initiative to speak, his tone was heartbreaking, and he looked like he was thinking about the court.
"No, the spring plowing season is approaching. If we delay plowing for this reason, where will my people find food when I am so far away!"
An official from the Ministry of Revenue also stood up and retorted.
If we attack Dagan now, if we win, it will be good. We can plunder Dagan and store grain for our own use.
But if they fail, famine will be rampant in Dali next year.
As long as food prices rise, they will continue to rise until some people starve to death because they cannot afford food.
The aristocratic families in Dali will not give free grain to the poor.
On the contrary, they will take advantage of this famine opportunity to acquire land on a large scale to accumulate slaves.
At that moment, someone stood up again and opposed the Minister of Household Affairs. For a while, many officials quarreled.
Emperor Yong'an looked towards an old man who had never spoken a word. This old man was a Da Li Xiantian warrior that Chen Mo had seen before.
Although Emperor Yong'an didn't know why these innate warriors from aristocratic sects supported him in abiding by the covenant and not using weapons against Da Gan.
But that doesn't matter, as long as these people are on their side.
"Since the covenant has been signed, we, Dali, are a country of etiquette and should not violate it."
The old man spoke leisurely, with a calm tone, and his eyes slowly glanced at the surrounding officials.
Everyone naturally understood that he was speaking not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of the three innate warriors.
Even if everyone has opinions in their hearts, they dare not speak directly at this moment.
………………
"Everyone, you all know the specific situation. I hope that all my colleagues will work together to suppress the alien race."
In the Xuanzheng Hall of Daqian, Chen Mo looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, bowed his hands and saluted.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen Guo, we will be able to work for the imperial court as long as we have the salary from the imperial court." The minister of the Ministry of Industry said.
Many remaining officials also expressed their support for the encirclement and suppression of foreigners.
Immediately, Chen Mo discussed the specific details with everyone, how to deploy troops and how to transport grain, grass and baggage. The discussion lasted until evening, and then the general regulations for the matter were finalized.
Civil and military officials have left one after another. It is not easy to mobilize the army. Even if we do it now, it is hard to say how many of the imperial border troops will be able to reach the border in another month.
"Senior, in my opinion, we should leave for the border tomorrow to prevent the aliens from innate raids."
The civil and military officials left one after another. Chen Mo was not in a hurry to leave. He approached Zhao Xuanxin first and suggested.
He also wanted to participate in this expedition, so he was naturally called to discuss it.
"Yes." Zhao Xuanxin did not refuse, and nodded slightly in agreement.
"Okay, then this junior will go back and make preparations." Chen Mo bowed his hands and turned around in a hurry to leave.
"The alien race is already weak, and now it's the time when the grass is growing. They don't look for pastures to graze. But they suddenly want to take action. There must be something fishy in it."
Chu Tianxiu looked slightly gloomy, walked to his old friend and spoke in a low voice.
In fact, many officials have discussed this matter before. Some time ago, all the innate powerful aliens were almost killed by Da Gan. Under normal circumstances, there would never be another war.
"I know in my heart that I will let him sit in the rear when the time comes.
Even if there is an innate strong person attacking me, if I really lose, I will risk my life to let him retreat first. "
Zhao Xuanxin's tone was calm and calm. Of course he knew that Chen Mo's survival was more valuable than his own survival.
Even if he survives by chance, he will just continue to linger, and it is impossible to change the final outcome of this world.
Chen Mo is different. He is talented enough and has the possibility to reverse everything.
You have to ensure that he survives, so that even if you die, your children and grandchildren can still survive.
"If everything goes well and the alien race is wiped out, you can take him directly to the ancestral realm." Chu Tianxiu explained again.
The so-called ancestral realm is the secret realm left by the ancestors of the human race. It has a strong resistance to mirages. Even if everything in the world is submerged, some things can still be left in the ancestral realm.
The human race has been able to escape the mirage and destroy the world time and time again, and it still retains part of its inheritance to this day, also because of the existence of the ancestral realm.
"Okay." Zhao Xuanxin nodded. It didn't matter which of the two of them did it.
Since he and Chen Mo went to encircle and suppress the foreign tribes, they could solve this matter along the way.
…………
…………
Chen Mo returned home and immediately began to prepare. In addition to telling Zhao Yu that he was going to fight again, this time he also planned to take Wei Xia with him.
The reason is simple, because he plans to explore the Blood Sea Ruins Realm, and it will be relatively safer to take her with him.
After resting at home for a night, Chen Mo was ready to leave as the sky became slightly brighter the next morning.
"Stay well at home and don't slack off in your practice. Don't forget to take the pills I left for you. Just take one pill every three days."
Before Chen Mo said goodbye, he carefully explained to Zhao Yu.
With his current status and strength, it couldn't be easier to find some pills to help warriors build their foundation and practice.
The elixir that Zhao Yu is currently using for practice is refined with the blood bred by the heart mirage, and the effect is quite good.
According to Chen Mo's estimation, at this speed, it would take at most one or two months for Zhao Yu to condense a ray of inner energy and step into the realm of inner energy.
"Yes. I know everything." Zhao Yu looked calm with a smile.
She sent Chen Mo on an expedition more than once, and saw him return safely every time.
From the initial nervousness and anxiety, she is no longer so worried because she knows that Chen Mo will definitely come back.
"Be careful on the road. I heard it's cold in the border area. Bring your cotton coats and other spring clothes. We'll see what you wear when you get there."
Zhao Yu handed over a heavy package containing washed and folded clothes.
She also helped Chen Mo prepare some dry food that she had made and asked him to take it with him in case of emergency.
"You must come back, I'll wait for you at home." When he came to the door of his house, Zhao Yu still urged him as usual.
"Don't worry." Chen Mo responded with a smile like many times before, no different from the past.
He strode away from his home all the way. Many people came to see him off early after learning that he and Zhao Xuanxin were going to the border first.
"General, please be careful when you go here. If things don't work out, you have to protect yourself first." Zhao Renmin warned with a serious look on his face. It was obvious that he had difficulty memorizing these words.
"I understand." Chen Mo bowed his hands and responded with a smile.
Empress Dowager Xu also came to see him off in person, but he didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Renmin with a smile.
"Father." Chen Mo walked to Sun Shouren again, bowed and saluted.
"Haier is going to take the first step this time and go there to investigate the situation. You should also hurry up and make sure there are no logistical problems." He said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry." Sun Shouren also understood the importance of logistics, and nodded with the same cautious expression.
After arranging these things, Chen Mo and Zhao Xuanxin left together.
The two of them were not walking together. If they were to fly in the air and fly with their true energy, Chen Mo's speed would be far slower than Zhao Xuanxin.
But if he was running on the ground, his speed would be much faster than Zhao Xuanxin.
Therefore, the two people only agreed to meet in the border town five days later, but did not go together.
Chen Mo is extremely fast and has a clear goal.
He did not plan to go to the border town first, but planned to explore the Blood Sea Ruins realm.
Five days is a long time. With his current physical strength exploding at full speed, he can reach the vicinity of the border town across more than 17,000 miles in one day.
Before evening, Chen Mo had quietly crossed the border.
Passing through the border formation, he could immediately feel the difference between heaven and earth.
Compared with the inside of the edge, the world here is obviously more seriously eroded by the mirage.
On the desolate and lonely land, there is a little bit of twilight air, which seems to assimilate people. Standing here, I feel depressed.
This is the world closest to the mirage, or the lowest place. The water of the deep sea will first submerge here, and then slowly rise until it submerges the entire world.
No wonder those powerful foreigners, no matter how many people died or how much they paid, always wanted to break into Daqian territory.
Because the conditions to be born here are too difficult. When times are better, you may get a chance to breathe. Once the situation changes slightly, people will definitely starve to death.
Attacking Daqian, in addition to trying to get in, is actually a way for the aliens to consume the population.
Insufficient food is not a big problem. As long as enough people die, there will be enough food left.
Chen Mo Dagan carefully explored outside the border. With the help of the dagger he had obtained earlier, he quickly found a water pool.
The pool is very small, only one foot square. There are some plants and trees around it, but they are now withered and yellow.
The water pool is crystal clear, with not even a single fish or shrimp in sight.
Chen Mo only needs to sink into the pool now to reach the sea of blood.
He didn't rush into it. He took out the puppet first and stepped into it to explore.
After he repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with the puppet going up and down, Chen Mo jumped into the pool.
