Deng ChanYu estimated that her army of a hundred thousand had frightened the opponent, but this trick under the guise of Meng Zhang, "borrowing soldiers like a phoenix, never to return," has its limits as well.
She retreated a step: "Then, let's have only nine thousand, no more."
Ao Guang pondered over and over, also guessing that there was a possibility of borrowing without returning. He raised three fingers: "No more than three thousand."
"Three thousand is not enough. What about eighty-five thousand?"
The two sides went back and forth, and Ao Guang eventually feared the mysterious force behind Deng ChanYu. Who scared the ancestor dragon and Meng Zhang? It wasn't probably Yuan Feng. Was it Nüwa? It doesn't seem to be.
Deng ChanYu had Hóngjūn behind her, and she had all the confidence. Ao Guang's confidence was severely lacking, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
In the end, both parties reached an agreement. The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas would send a total of thirty thousand troops, all elite water beings, to assist her in searching for treasure in the Xuixū.
If the Xuixū expedition ends and Deng ChanYu's friend says that all three thousand elite warriors have died, the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas will also have to eat a bitter pill in silence.
Deng ChanYu thought that the outcome was quite good; she couldn't recruit all ten million water soldiers from the water tribe, and it was necessary to maintain a balance of power among the various factions.
Three thousand elite water troops, which make up one-third of the Heavenly Water Army, would occupy a significant portion of the troops. After the completion of the God Ascending, she would find Hou Tian to get another ten thousand water troops and recruit some from humanity and heavenly beings, which would be enough to reach a number close to one hundred thousand.
"Thank you, the old Dragon King!"
"Thank you, Dragon King."
The thirty thousand elite troops, distributed among the Four Seas, would mean about seven thousand elite water soldiers for each sea. Further distributing them among the various rivers and lakes, the cost to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is actually not great.
The dragon race can be considered to have spent money to avoid disaster and bought a sense of security. In the future, the phoenix will not come to their place to borrow money again.
Deng ChanYu was about to reach the gate of the Crystal Palace when she remembered something and pulled back her foot.
"Old Dragon King."
"Ah? The immortal still has something to do?"
"Please lend the Four Sea Water Map for a look."
This matter is not big at all, at least it's much smaller than the previous borrowing of troops.
Ao Guang nodded to the turtle minister, allowing her to see!
Deng ChanYu took out her small notebook and copied down the Four Sea Water Map, which provided a theoretical basis for the "Kan" symbol of water. The "Qian" and "Kun" symbols had been established, and with the "Kan" symbol in place, the "Kan" symbol was water, corresponding to the "Li" symbol, which is fire. She could write this one completely based on her own understanding.
With the Ba Gua in place, the four symbols became very clear, and the workload for compiling the I Ching was immediately reduced by half.
"Old Dragon King, take care."
"Take care, take care."
Deng ChanYu hurriedly went to the heavenly court.
Hou Tian had already guessed that this was a tacit approval of the Dao, and how dare he block it?
He directly ordered Taibai Jinxian to convey an edict to the Palace of Water Virtue, the content of which was to search for the Xuixū.
Deng ChanYu secretly handed the Xuan Yuan Control Water Flag to Phoenix, and then returned to the Mount Emei to write a book.
Phoenix received the edict and prepared to go to Xuixū to search for the sea beads.
Juli Sheng does not belong to her Heavenly Water Army. Nezha, like his teacher, is naturally of the fire element, and once he goes underwater, his combat power instantly drops by 30%.
Then let these two not participate in the battle.
Drawing elite troops from the waters of the Four Seas and Five Lakes, the Dragoness was too afraid to go see her acquaintances in Dongting Lake, so Phoenix asked her to stay home and take care of the two little guys, Dangkang and Zhuwu.
The panda can swim, but he is not proficient at it. Under her strong demand, the old bear had to serve as the vanguard officer.
Bringing along Lao Zhu and Lao Sha, these two are not good at land battles, but they are quite good at water battles.
