You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 565 Ying Chen's Trust

"Are the Tide Clan and the Illusion Scale Clan about to go to war? Both clans are top-tier clans. If they go to war, we smaller clans will be in trouble. We might even be forcibly conscripted into the war..."

Outside the Tide Clan, a Krill Clan member looked in the direction the Tide Clan army had gone and said in a deep voice.

"Things are still uncertain. Although both tribes have sent troops, they are not heading towards each other's territory. Instead, they are heading towards the northern sea. Judging from their appearance, it seems that their goals are the same..."

One of the sea creatures beside him spoke up.

"The northern seas? Isn't that a barren land? It's close to the land and there aren't any particularly powerful forces there. What could possibly be that would prompt both races to send such large armies and powerful warriors there?"

The krill asked in confusion.

"Should we follow them and see what's happening in the northern sea that we don't know about..."

The sea creature's face revealed a look of eager anticipation. He believed that for the two races to go to such lengths, either some power in the northern sea had offended them, or some treasure had appeared in the northern sea, which was why the two races had mobilized so much.

Between the two possibilities, he was more convinced that the treasure had appeared in the northern sea.

After all, the Tide Clan and the Illusion Scale Clan are renowned in the seas. What power would be foolish enough to offend them, let alone offend both of them at once?

"Are you crazy? Following behind those two races, aren't you afraid they'll forcibly conscript you, and you won't even know how you died..."

Upon hearing his words, the krill tribesman's face flashed with panic. He looked at him incredulously and spoke.

"It's just a trial, and they might not even care about our meager strength. If there's something truly valuable in the northern seas that could cause a major conflict between the two races, even just some scraps would be a huge benefit for us..."

The sea creature was still patiently persuading him. He naturally wouldn't dare to go alone, so he wanted to bring more people with him. Even if something happened, he would have someone with him so he wouldn't be all alone.

"this......"

The krill tribe fell silent, for it was far too difficult for small tribes like theirs to improve their strength, especially for ordinary members of their tribe.

If we can really pick up some bargains by following behind the Tide Clan and the Phantom Scale Clan, it's definitely worth the risk.

"Okay! I agree, but the two of us alone won't do. We need to find some more people to come with us, so that even if something goes wrong, we'll have someone to look after us..."

In the end, the krill tribesman agreed, after all, he really wanted to improve, as he had been stuck at his current level for a long time.

If this drags on any longer, his chances of breaking through will be even lower.

"can!"

The sea creature smiled upon receiving the krill tribe's reply. Even if the krill tribe disagreed, he would find someone else.

With such a vast sea creature population, finding people willing to take risks is incredibly easy.

"..."

Finally, they found some sea creatures willing to embark on the adventure to the northern seas, and then followed the Tide Clan's army towards the northern seas.

Along the way, more and more people joined them, causing their group to grow larger and larger.

Liu Tiansha naturally noticed them, but he did not drive them away; instead, he tacitly approved of their actions.

After all, free cannon fodder is being delivered to our door, so why not take advantage of it?

The situation was similar on the other side, towards the Illusion Scale Clan, with a large group of people following behind, hoping to take advantage of any opportunities.

In response, Huan Qianjie made the same decision as Liu Tiansha.

Since they decided to follow, they were prepared to die.

.....................

Daqin, Xianyang.

When Ying Chen received the message from Huo Qubing, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"That Huo Qubing! He really can't stay still. I only forbade him to act rashly, but he'll stop at nothing to get away with it!"

After reading the message sent back by Huo Qubing, Ying Chen sneered.

"Your Majesty! Has something happened at sea?"

Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun asked.

"Hehe! Take a look for yourself!"

Ying Chen chuckled and handed the intelligence to Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun took the intelligence and began to read it. Gradually, his expression became serious.

After a moment, he raised his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, according to the information sent back by the Marquis of Champion, those two sea creatures are no ordinary people. Their respective forces are very likely to have a powerful Earth Immortal realm expert in charge..."

"If the Champion Marquis and his men had killed all those sea creatures, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But the main problem is that one of them escaped. That means our Great Qin is now completely exposed to the sight of many sea races..."

"I'm afraid that many sea creatures will come looking for trouble for my Great Qin in the future..."

Cao Zhengchun's face was solemn, and his tone was full of worry.

"Otherwise, why do you think Huo Qubing let that sea creature leave? He did it to lure those sea creatures to attack our Great Qin, no, to be precise, to draw in the Earth Immortal realm experts behind those forces, so that he could act without restraint..."

Ying Chen maintained a smile as he spoke.

"But if we do that, the strength of our Great Qin in the seas will be somewhat weakened. If too many sea creatures come, will our Great Qin's seas be lost?"

Cao Zhengchun expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, Huo Qubing is a man of principle. If he needed assistance, he would have sent someone to say so long ago. Since we haven't received any requests for help, it means the other side has absolute confidence that they can keep the enemy outside the borders of our Great Qin..."

Ying Chen waved his hand and said.

He had great confidence in Huo Qubing, knowing that the other man never did anything without being certain of success.

Since the other party did this, it means they have absolute confidence.

"This servant understands! Then how should we reply to the Marquis of Champion!"

Cao Zhengchun nodded respectfully and then asked.

"Tell him to be careful, not to overdo it, and if he's not confident, to definitely call for help. Don't try to force yourself..."

Ying Chen thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Here!"

After receiving Ying Chen's order, Cao Zhengchun respectfully bowed and left the main hall to relay Ying Chen's order to Huo Qubing.

.....................

The Qin Sea area.

Dinghai City.

The soldiers Huo Qubing sent to Xianyang to deliver the message have returned, bringing back Ying Chen's orders.

When Huo Qubing learned of Ying Chen's order, a warm feeling washed over him.

His Majesty always trusted him.

A scholar will die for one who understands him; Huo Qubing was truly fortunate to be Your Majesty's subject.

"My lord, what did His Majesty say?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Huo Qubing and asked.

"It's nothing, just that we need to guard the sea. The territory of our Great Qin, even the sea, will not be allowed to be encroached upon by foreign races..."

Huo Qubing did not tell them Ying Chen's meaning directly, because it was Ying Chen who specifically told him.

"Of course! The territory of my Great Qin will never be allowed to be encroached upon by foreign tribes. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on it, I'll chop off their hand..."

Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Cheng Yaojin brandished his axe, his fierce expression making him a formidable figure.

"I wonder if the forces behind those two sea creatures know about the situation here. If the sea creature that escaped dies on the way, then your plans will all fall apart, won't they, my lord?"

At this moment, Chen Qingzhi, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"No problem! These powerful clans all have ways to ascertain the situation of their members. Even if he didn't escape back, the clans behind him can still find out about their situation..."

"It'll just take some effort to investigate!"

"They'll come sooner or later, it's just a matter of time!"

Huo Qubing smiled slightly and spoke.

Hearing Huo Qubing's words, Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly.

"By the way, if those sea creatures attack this time, there's a very high chance they'll include Earth Immortal realm experts. The Great Wall can't stop them for now, so leave them to me. You can deal with the rest..."

Huo Qubing seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

Upon hearing his words, both Cheng Yaojin and Chen Qingzhi nodded.
