Bingkui's war letter was left on a snow in the middle of the wolf field, and dozens of broken limbs of demon corpses were spelled into a short line of words: The decisive battle here at noon on the sixth day.

The wounds of these demon corpses look very fresh, have strange appearances, and have no footprints around them. No one knows where they came from.

"This time it's easier. Yi Shijun said that we can stop the first pivot position of the Douyuan Star Transfer Formation in seven days. Bingkui actually gave us six days." Shen Shang also followed and looked around, "This is really a good place for a decisive battle. If you keep it flat, no one will suffer."

The first battle was won, but Jincu's expression became more serious. "These six days were not for us, but for Bingkui himself. They were dispatching troops. In the decisive battle, there were not dozens of Bingkui, but hundreds or thousands."

Mu Xingqiu didn't say anything, silently staring at the Zhan Shu that was put out of pieces of the body. He was thinking about more things.

More than 20 demon leaders walked around anxiously, roaring from time to time, cursing loudly in their own language, and blocking the influence of the curse, they hated Bingkui even deeper.

"Everyone's fighting spirit is no longer a problem." Shen Shang glanced at the demon leaders, "How many warriors are there left?"

"There are more than 8,000 men and women. I plan to let all demons over ten years old participate in the war and share the damage from the Bingkui explosion. In this way, there will be about 500 more people."

"It's too little. Bingkui has figured out our background and will definitely send enough troops. We have to find some reinforcements." Shen Shang glanced at the leaders of the demon clan again and said in a low voice: "Also, we don't have much food anymore. At most, we have three or four days. You are the King of Fried Swords. You can get the name."

Jincuo frowned. He could inspire his fighting spirit and lead the way, but the fact that he was looking for reinforcements and food was a headache for him, and even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a good way.

"Reinforcements... I will send a group of envoys to all directions later, with a limit of three days to see if there are any other tribes around the Ice City and try to bring them over. It will be three days for me to come back, and I should be able to catch up with the decisive battle. As for the food, plunder the Ice City again."

"We can cast spells after we get out of the Dou Zhuang Star Transfer Formation. We can provide some talismans to make the messenger run faster. You can send me some helpers. When I came from the east, I saw the deer herd, maybe I could get some meat."

Shen Shang's attitude was more positive than ever, but he and Jincuo knew that this was just a temporary measure and would not play much role. So he looked at Mu Xingqiu together.

Mu Xingqiu reacted after a while, pointed to the demon corpse and said, "Who left these words?"

"Bingkui." Shen Shang was a little disappointed, thinking that Mu Xingqiu was thinking about something more important.

"No. We just fought a battle with Bingkui. They were a group of monsters without flesh and blood and ignorant of pain. The curse cast in advance had expired, but they knew nothing and would not make any adjustments in the way of fighting, so..."

"So they can't write at all, they can't dispatch troops, and they can't set up formations." Shen Shang already understood what Mu Xingqiu meant, "Bingkui is just a group of puppets. Behind them is a leader or a spellcaster."

Jincuo clenched his fists and said coldly: "Coward."

"Cowards are always safe, which means no matter how many Bingkui we kill, we still can't win this war in the end." Shen Shang raised his hand and patted his forehead gently, "Yi Shijun must know this, so he only hopes that we will persist for seven days, and does not say that we will win, the cunning old guy."

The young spiritual demon was a little confused, "Why did Yi Shijun hide this matter? He could tell it out in advance. We can find Bingkui's leader and completely defeat them."

"Maybe I don't trust us." Shen Shang didn't care much about this. He glanced at Mu Xingqiu and Jincuo's faces and smiled: "King of Fan, you'd better wear a helmet so that everyone can tell who is who is immediately. Okay, no matter how many ideas I have, I can't think of. There is nothing else, so I'll go hunting, hoping to get hundreds of deer back."

Jincuo greeted the three demon leaders and asked them to lead the demon tribe to follow Shen Shang to hunt. He arranged another group of leaders to head to different directions, traveled for three consecutive days and then turned around and brought some reinforcements back as much as possible.

Shen Shang left with the leaders. He would distribute some paper talismans to make them run faster. There was no magician in the entire team, so the talisman tourists could only provide assistance.

When Jincuo deliberately sent away all the demon clans, only him and Mu Xingqiu were left, he said, "I saw your performance last night."

"Um."

"I should give way. You are the real king. The demon clan respects you. Even after hearing that you are a Taoist priest, he has not reduced this respect."

"Are you really willing to give way?" Mu Xingqiu asked with a smile.

Jincun's expression was even more serious, "Do you think I'm testing you? I hope to do something for the demon clan, but I don't have to be a demon king. I'm more willing to charge into battle than to guess the enemy's conspiracy."

Mu Xingqiu did not put away his smile, "The demon clan has never lacked the brave men who charge forward, and what they lack is the king."

"The demon kings are everywhere in the land of the demons. Even in the current ice city, you can find twenty or thirty people."

"They are just tribal leaders, not real kings. Qi Wushang has strong will, but does not have great wisdom. Yi Shijun has great wisdom, but his will is not firm enough. He has lived too long and is afraid of all dangers. He is always away from a place like the battlefield. The real king must have both."

Jincu thought for a while, and unconsciously bit his lips like a child, "I'm afraid I don't have these two."

"Then start training yourself from now on and be a future king."

Jincu nodded slowly, "You are not even a demon clan, why do you do these?"

"Because I can't wait until the demons kill me before resisting, then everything will be too late, and I don't want to hope for miracles. The Taoist sect will always come back after retreating. But many people can't see it, which may include myself and some of the people I care about."

"So the demon clan is a shield to you, used to cushion the demon clan's attack."

"To be honest, that's it."

Mu Xingqiu did not use any so-called great principles to modify his ideas. He would rather be honest from the beginning than slowly suspicion of each other. He believed that the spirit demon could understand all this, just as he had to understand the various "uses" he had suffered all the time.

"You should be glad that you have the value of being used. I hope you can use these values ​​well, instead of holding them to complain." This is what Princess Xijie said to Mu Xingqiu. He has always kept it in his heart. The longer he spends, the more he feels it makes sense. He has already jumped to a new level as the princess said. On this level, he is still being used, but he can also use others.

There are also differences between noble and despicable in utilization, and the difference lies in whether it is fair.

Mu Xingqiu did not say the princess to Jincuo, because it was not the time at that time. Mu Xingqiu was not the noble princess of Xijieguo, and Jincuo was not the disciple of Zhiyong with a dim future.

"The shield of the demon clan should be in the hands of the demon clan itself." Jin Cu thought through Mu Xingqiu's words and no longer recommended the position of the King of Fried King, but said: "I need your help."

"I will do my best. After this battle, you have to learn to use the Liangyi sword and shield. Set an example for other demon races. I will find a relatively safe place to build a place of cultivation similar to Taoist sects and cultivate more magicians."

"The magician?" Jin Cu was stunned, "Aren't you afraid of the demons killing each other in it? And the demons will kill within ten years, in such a short time..."

"Even if there is only one day left, we have to think about the future. Who said that the demon clan can annex the entire world as soon as it appears? So we have more than ten years. If we deal with it properly within these ten years, we can still gain more time. As for the revenge between the demon clans, it will start and end, and it depends on your ability."

"Will humans eventually participate in this war?" Jincuo also began to look at the future. The demon clan can be used as a shield, but not as the only shield.

"In the end, no one has a choice." Mu Xingqiu was already thinking about this matter, and even wanted to let him return to the imperial capital when he saw Xin Youtao again to help the princess fight for imperial power.

"Do you have any good ideas about the battle six days later?" Jincun's expression was still serious and arrogant, but he sincerely asked Mu Xingqiu for advice and hoped to get help.

"First of all, you have to tell the truth to all the demons."

Jin Cu was stunned again. He thought Mu Xingqiu would say how to find the leader of Bingkui, but the result was like this, "What's the truth?"

"Tell them that they don't have to stay here, that they have escaped the influence of the curse and are free to leave the Ice City."

"But... the demon clan has left, who will fight this war?" Jin Cu became more and more surprised, and even felt that Mu Xingqiu was too pedantic.

"There are seven major pivot positions in the Douzhuan Star Movement Formation, and Ice City is just the first one. If the demons know later that you have not told all the truth, you will not be able to fight in the future."

"But I didn't hide it. I originally wanted to persuade them to leave, but..."

Just to inspire the fighting spirit of the demon clan, Jincuo emphasized the importance of fighting. He would rather die in battle than wait for death. In Jincuo's concept, escaping is shameful and unacceptable.

"At least, transfer the young demon clan from here. I know they are unwilling to leave their parents. You must convince them that if the demon clan wants to have a future, they cannot take risks with their children."

"Let me think about it, the little demon can leave, but let all demons choose whether to stay or leave... I have to think about it again." Jincuo could not accept Mu Xingqiu's suggestions for a while.

Mu Xingqiu asked Jin Cu to think by himself, turned around and walked towards the south of the Ice City, and turned around for more than ten steps and shouted: "Bingkui sent a letter of war so quickly. Their leader must be nearby. Finding him may make the battle easier."

Mu Xingqiu hoped that he did not put too much pressure on Jincuo, but a true king always had to accept the tempering, just as a sword had to withstand the alternating tempering of fire and water.
