Chapter 377: The Dilemma of King Zhenbei (Please subscribe!!! Supplement 17)

Tang Yinmeng paused and gave a more detailed explanation.

"According to King Zhenbei, the pressure from the Three Northern Kings has actually exceeded their power. Even if we don't look for them, they will look for us themselves."

So much time has passed, and the surrounding overlords naturally know about Alba's disappearance, and also know that Alba's imperial city has been occupied by life from another dimension.

During this period, the three northern kings suffered the most.

Because they are guarding the gate of hell, they are under a lot of pressure themselves and have to be vigilant at all times to deal with the invasion of hell.

Now that there is a fire in the rear, the three kings are simply furious.

Especially since they themselves still need support from Alba every three months.

The Gate of Hell erupts once a month, during which time creatures from Hell will flood here in large numbers.

At this time, a major purge was needed. The top forces were within the scope of suppression of the Three Northern Kings, but their numbers were too large, and each time they would consume a large number of troops in their territory.

It is for this reason that they need Alba's support. Each of the nine great demons in the imperial city is a purple-gold demon with noble blood and stronger strength than the Three Northern Kings. They are also the ones that Alba usually sends to support the Three Northern Kings.

Although there is no military support, the presence of three top demons can eliminate most of the invading hell creatures in a near-massacre manner.

In this way, the sustainable supply of the army in the territories of the Three Northern Kings can be barely guaranteed.

However, half a year has passed and they have experienced two waves of invasion by hell creatures, and their army has lost more than 30% of its strength.

This may not seem like a lot, but it is the result of years of oppressive environment.

They have been recruiting soldiers all year round, so all the demon creatures in their territory who meet the requirements have been recruited.

In other words, a 30% loss means that it cannot be replenished in a short period of time.

And as time goes by, the total number of the army will become smaller and smaller.

Moreover, if ten thousand people resist the invasion of three thousand people, one thousand people may die, and if seven thousand people resist, more people will die, until the number of their own army becomes smaller and smaller, and the resistance becomes more and more difficult, and sooner or later they will be swallowed up by hell.

Among the three kings of the north, the King of Zhenbei is the strongest, and the passage he guards is also the one with the most pressure. The other side of the passage is connected to a core area of ​​hell, and the reproduction of creatures in hell is several times faster than in other areas.

The reason why Hell can complete an invasion every three months is because the reproduction rate of Hell creatures far exceeds that of Demon creatures.

Three months is enough time for a local creature to grow from birth to a qualified soldier.

When Alba invaded the Hell plane, it was because of this characteristic of the Hell creatures that he took a fancy to. He intended to occupy Hell and have a huge Hell army to conquer other major planes.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the Lord of Hell caused his plan to fail and instead consumed a lot of his energy, which significantly affected his ability to free up his hands to invade other planes.

"So, King Zhenbei wants us to send students to help him hunt local creatures?" Cai Yue'er concluded.

Tang Yinmeng nodded.

“Yes, the army under King Zhenbei suffered the heaviest losses, especially because his troops’ planning was not very good.”

Although he is the strongest of the Three Kings of the North, he is not the best at governing.

Under his command, there were no fierce fights due to the high oppression, but because of this, not enough strong men were born. Although a lot of demon soldiers could be recruited every year, the proportion of low-level demons was extremely high, and the number of stronger demons was very small.

In the past, King Zhenbei would deliberately maintain the sacrifice of his low-level demon soldiers in exchange for the survival of higher-level soldiers.

But after two consecutive resistances, too many of his senior soldiers died, and it was more difficult for him to recover than the other two overlords.

"It makes sense, but we have to be on guard. After all, King Zhenbei is Alba's subordinate, and since he can become a great demon, he must have the blood bestowed by Alba." Cai Yue'er gave a hint after thinking for a while.

"We are still unclear about the characteristics of the Demon Lord's bloodline gift. If it can be taken back at any time and can have absolute bloodline suppression, then if we cooperate with the King of Zhenbei, we may be backstabbed."

Even if the current King of Zhenbei is sincerely cooperating, as long as Alba gives the order, the King of Zhenbei is likely to abandon the Gate of Hell and leave the mess to Shrek.

"It is still necessary to contact them. Just like what you said, Mr. Cai, we don't know enough about the high-level secrets of the demon clan. These are areas that ordinary demon creatures cannot access. If we want to know more, we can only contact big demons like the King of Zhenbei, or even the real demon monarchs." Yali's words were also recognized by Cai Yue'er.

Indeed, we still need to make contact so that we can better understand the intelligence.

"In fact, there is also Hell. They may not be our enemies. Perhaps we can try to make contact with Hell."

"In that case, let's contact the King of Zhenbei temporarily and learn about the situation in hell through him. If there is a chance, we should also contact the high-level officials in hell." Cai Yue'er said, "I will notify Zhuoshi and ask him to take some time to go to Zhenbei King City."

Now Zhuoshi is still searching for opportunities all over the map.

"Yin Meng, you still need to maintain contact with the Demon North King and the Chaos North King to find out their attitudes."

"Yes."

After Tang Yinmeng finished speaking, she did not leave, but instead looked conflicted.

Seeing this, Yali smiled.

"Don't worry, Muzi's battle armor has been upgraded. There is news that his martial soul has evolved successfully and has begun to condense its soul core. Everything is fine."

Hearing that Lan Muzi was fine, Tang Yinmeng breathed a sigh of relief, her face slightly flushed, and she hurriedly said goodbye.

Shrek City.

Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally home."

He has been outside for more than a month.

As the time spent in the demon plane got longer and longer, the students in the inner courtyard gradually adapted to the energy of heaven and earth here.

Especially after using the energy of heaven and earth here to temper the meridians in the body, there will basically be no serious damage to the meridians due to the absorption of energy from heaven and earth around.

However, there will still be scratches.

According to Yali's speculation, it would take at least twenty or thirty times of cleansing before the meridians could fully adapt to the energy of heaven and earth here.

But that will take at least a few years.

Therefore, many students in the inner courtyard now returned to the academy and borrowed a mecha to improve efficiency.

Ever since Lan Muzi obtained the Dark Sun Stone and felt the opportunity for a breakthrough, the inner courtyard students have more intuitively realized the significance of this new world to them and have been very active in exploring it.

Fang Yuan is one of them.
