Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 150: Distribution of Benefits (2)
"Especially the three Witch Kings can communicate with each other from afar and have close connections. If one of them is in trouble, the other two will surely come to rescue. Even if we unite, it is difficult to attack the three Witch Kings at the same time. We can only attack them by surprise, launch a surprise attack, concentrate on dealing with one, and then destroy them all. Although I don't have that many Terror Knights, I have hundreds of Terror Dragon Knights, whose strength far exceeds those of the low-level Terror Knights. I also have several other relatively powerful subordinates who are willing to take on the most dangerous task of launching a surprise attack to kill the Witch King, so as to end the battle as soon as possible and reduce casualties."
After a brief pause, I observed the attitudes of the parties involved. Qingwu Feiyang had been listening and thinking, and did not reveal his attitude easily. Qiu Shui Changtian and Tianxing, however, looked unhappy, and were obviously still unwilling to give up the first Witch King to me. In view of the fact that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and with the "threat" of the free disposal power of the "Eye of Light", I cannot just be tough. I must let them get some benefits so that they can step down. On the way here, I already had a plan in mind. I knew that Qiu Shui Changtian and the others would have a big appetite. In order to get the First Wizard Crown, I also prepared another "bait", and then threw it out, "Of course, everyone contributed the same amount, but I took the biggest share of the benefits. I feel a little guilty, and..." I turned my head to Qiu Shui Changtian and Tianxing, "The 'Witch Killing Federation' is composed of more than 30 undead wizards. Even if Changtian and Tianxing, you two succeeded to the Wizard King and vacated the positions of the two Bone Kings, most people still won't get much compensation. I also have a plan to conquer the 'Yinfeng Valley' among the four forbidden areas, which will give some undead wizards the opportunity to subdue the ghost royal family. I originally planned to do it alone, but now I am contributing it as compensation for my possession of the First Wizard Crown." According to Xiaobai's detection, the "Witch Killing Federation" can have a few ghost kings at most, and they have definitely never seen the ghost royal family. Using this as a bait, they should be interested.
"Oh, I just heard brother A-Dai mention the Ghost Royal Family, and I was quite curious. But business is important, so it's not convenient to ask more. I wonder if you can reveal a little more?" Tianxing also spoke, and it seemed that he wanted to find out the truth and make plans after weighing the pros and cons.
"Above the Ghost King, there is the Ghost Royal Family. They are divided into Ghost Wind Demons and Ghost Banshees according to gender..." He first briefly introduced the division and abilities of the Ghost Royal Family to them, and then talked about how Xiaobai "devoured" the Ghost Banshee through a challenge and became a "hermaphrodite" who was neither male nor female. These things could not be concealed for a lifetime, so it was better to explain them directly so that people would trust them more. Of course, there was no need to tell them about how he provoked the more powerful Ghost Banshee Wu Zetian and was finally expelled from the "Yinfeng Valley". At least now was not the time, so he slightly deleted and modified the process. "Because he had a Ghost Royal Family, by chance, he actually discovered a Ghost Banshee who was more powerful than the ordinary royal family, with at least seven Ghosts. The Wind Demon serves as his concubine, and has more than 500 Ghost Kings under his command, all of whom are very large and much stronger than ordinary Ghost Kings. According to my judgment, this Ghost Banshee should be the most powerful Ghost Royal Family in the fourth forbidden area, 'Yinfeng Valley'. I am not its opponent now. I originally planned to let it go for the time being, and when I have conquered enough corpse wizards, I will lead my troops on an expedition to defeat or even conquer this Ghost Banshee in one fell swoop. By then, I may be able to run rampant in 'Yinfeng Valley' and gain control of the place. If we can cooperate successfully this time, the four of us will share the position of the four great wizard kings, so why not cooperate again, forcefully attack 'Yinfeng Valley', challenge the Ghost Banshee, and gain more benefits. I will take the largest share this time, so the Ghost Royal Family will not be involved, and you can conquer them all."
What I offered was definitely a great bargain. One ghost banshee, eight ghost royals, and five hundred ghost kings were enough for the "Witch Killing Union" to divide up. Everyone could get a lot of benefits and the right to freely enter and exit the "Valley of the Wind". They couldn't help but be tempted. Although I seemed to have sacrificed my own interests, in fact, I solved a big problem for myself. As long as Wu Zetian was defeated, Xiaobai would be able to return to the "Valley of the Wind" and continue to strengthen his strength. He could also quickly form a large-scale phagocytic ghost army to deal with flying undead creatures. Otherwise, with my own strength, I would have to subdue the corpse witches one by one every day. I really don't know when I would have enough strength to kill back to the "Valley of the Wind" and overthrow Wu Zetian's dictatorship.
Gathering everyone's strength can not only speed up the plan to return to the "Yinfeng Valley", "induce" Qiu Shui Changtian and others to agree that I will succeed the first witch king, but there is another benefit - for the sake of safety, at least millions of corpse witches need to be mobilized for the expedition. Once the war starts, there will definitely be a lot of killed and injured body-eating ghosts. Maybe the "law enforcers" who protect the corpse witches or the body-eating ghosts will be attracted. The opponent's strength is unpredictable, and I don't know what level they will reach. If I deal with it alone, the risk is too great. I may not have such a good life to become a "god-defying person" again. Anyway, the four witch kings belong to four players, so I might as well drag them into the water together. If the "law enforcers" are really attracted, we four will be punished. Everyone works together to fight the enemy together, which is always more likely to win than me fighting alone.
There is still no news about . I still have time to waste with Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others, and I promised them certain benefits to make it easier for them to back down. After some negotiations, they finally agreed to my request after I promised to immediately cooperate with everyone to expedition to "Yinfeng Valley" as long as I subdue three million corpse wizards. They also clearly stated that they would divide my territory with "Blood Pool" as the center.
Things were relatively simple after that. With the momentum of the "Witch Killing Alliance", Qiu Shui Changtian got the second wizard crown, Tian Xing got the third wizard crown, and Qing Wu Fei Yang brought his Xin Bi Tian Gao and others to join and got my fourth wizard crown. As for the specific division of territory and the distribution of benefits after defeating the ghost banshee, they would be negotiated and decided after completion.
