Chapter 400 Ning Tianchen’s thoughts; sneaking into Barak City
The Five Shrek Monsters stopped and walked along the way, constantly inquiring about the situation on the mainland.
Although the two empires are still exercising restraint, the situation is no longer what it was when they left.
Once a full-scale war comes, there will be no fight for the crown prince in the Xingluo court, which will be disadvantageous to Dai Mubai.
If Davis had repeatedly made military exploits during the war, Dai Mubai would completely lose the possibility of inheriting the throne.
But how can the strength and status of Tang San and others influence the situation on the mainland?
Right now, all they can do is recruit the Dragon Snake family as soon as possible, strengthen the Tang Sect's momentum, and complete the fifth Poseidon test first.
If the situation gets worse in the future, we can only wait for him to complete the nine tests and inherit the position of Poseidon!
The Balak Kingdom is now under the control of Wuhun Palace, and the carriages of the Shrek Five Monsters cannot enter it through ordinary official roads.
But this was not a problem for the clever Tang San.
The five Shrek monsters took advantage of the darkness and relied on Tang San's flying ability to enter the Balak Kingdom one by one.
A few days later, they arrived in the city of Barak.
The defense of Barak City was impregnable and the outside population was strictly controlled. The five Shrek monsters could not find a way to enter the city in a short period of time, so they had to camp outside the city and observe the loopholes in the city's patrol.
Bai He, who was following them, received the news from Ning Fengzhi and decided not to follow them.
First, he could no longer get any more useful information from the Shrek Five Monsters. Secondly, a mere Dragon Snake family is not enough to change the situation on the mainland, and Tianjian Sect and Qibao Glazed Sect have little interest in them.
The Tang Sect absorbed the Dragon Snake Family and could only grow into a medium-sized sect at most. The gap from the top three sects like Qibao Glazed Sect and Tianjian Sect is not even a tiny bit.
Furthermore, the Tang Sect is within the Star Luo Empire and does not overlap with their sphere of influence, so there is no need to fight with them.
As Ning Fengzhi said, the Tang Sect may be the vanguard force (cannon fodder) against Wuhun Palace in the future. They do not need to suppress them, and they may even provide some help.
Outside Barak.
After several days in a row without a suitable opportunity to infiltrate, Dai Mubai gradually felt impatient.
"What is the situation in the Barak Kingdom? There are obviously few border wars, but wartime martial law is enforced!"
The city of Barak is located in the heart of the kingdom, and the combat effectiveness of the army of the Kingdom of Barak is one of the best on the mainland. There is no reason for them to put the capital under martial law, right?
Of course, with their intelligence capabilities, they did not know that Wuhundian had already controlled the Balak Kingdom.
I just think that King Balak is simply mentally ill.
The capital city of a country is related to the face of the country. By imposing such a high level of martial law, are you afraid that the businessmen in the city will not flee?
Tang San frowned, also confused.
"Things have already happened, and there is no point in complaining. Mubai, at night, try to find as many loopholes as possible as close to the city wall."
"With such high-level martial law in the city, there must be gaps near the city wall to facilitate the entry and exit of the nobles and merchants in the city."
"The only way we can get into it safely is by looking for these holes."
It wasn't that he didn't want to fly into the city at night, it was because the martial law in the city was too strict.
It was fine during the day, but at night, there were soldiers patrolling the streets in the city, and soul searchlights were constantly patrolling the sky. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
Relatively speaking, it is easier to enter the city during the day. But in broad daylight, someone falls from the sky, and the city residents are not blind. Once they find out, they will immediately report it to the officials.
Yu Tianxin said in a deep voice: "At night, there are several small teams patrolling outside the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get close to the city wall."
After a pause, he said with some uncertainty: "Under such circumstances, will the Dragon Snake family still stay in Barak City? Is it possible that they have already left?"
Tang San didn't have the same guess, but now they had no choice at all.
The Tang Sect's intelligence department has very limited capabilities, and it is difficult to search for information within the Star Luo Empire, let alone within the Barak Kingdom.
Moreover, when they left the Tang Sect two years ago, they did not tell them about the information about the Dragon Snake family.
Now go back and start exploring from the beginning. I don’t know how long it will take.
Since they are here, it would be good for them to investigate the situation. Even if the Dragon Snake family is not in Barak City, after entering the city, they can know their whereabouts after a little inquiry.
"No matter what, we have to go to the city."
"Everyone listen to me"
……
maritime.
The Manta Ray sails very fast.
During this period, Ning Tianchen digested the understanding of Shura's divine power, and his soul power level successfully broke through to level 89.
Level ninety is the biggest obstacle for a soul master to break through. It will take at least about a year to cross this threshold.
In the following time, Ning Tianchen was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough. He had new ideas.
There are countless hundred thousand year soul beasts in the sea. Among them, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s cultivation is undoubtedly the most powerful.
The strength of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has been infinitely close to that of a million years, and he is only one step away from becoming a divine beast.
However, due to the restrictions of the rules of the God Realm, he could never take this step. Even if he started the catastrophe after becoming a god, all that was waiting for him was death.
For Ning Tianchen, who is at level 89, if a soul beast sacrifices to him, he can directly break through the Titled Douluo.
And the person he wanted to sacrifice was none other than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
A million-year soul ring is attached to the Seven Kills Sword, and the power of the ninth soul skill will surely destroy the world.
Furthermore, in the case of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, it is much easier to convince than other soul beasts.
He is not the heir of Poseidon. God Shura has no grudge against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Poseidon behaves dirty and has a big grudge against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
This provides Ning Tianchen with the possibility of persuading the other party.
With an idea in mind, Ning Tianchen and Chen Haobai discussed the next route.
"Dear guest, are you sure you want to go to the Demon Whale Sea Area?" Chen Haobai frowned after hearing what the other party said.
The Devil Ray's route will not pass through the Devil Whale waters at all.
For every navigator, the Magic Whale Sea is an absolutely forbidden area, and one will never cross there unless necessary.
Of course, if the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King falls into a deep sleep and the ship sails in the sea area where he is blind, it is absolutely safe.
But after all, who would bet on whether the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King falls into a deep sleep?
Dancing on the edge of a knife, you will be bitten by the blade one day!
Ning Tianchen added: "The Manta Ray doesn't have to enter the sea area of the Demon Whale. When it reaches the area around the sea, just put me down. Just leave the rest to me."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has nearly a million years of cultivation. When converted into a human soul master, his strength has reached the level of a quasi-god.
Faced with such a terrifying existence, Ning Tianchen would certainly not let anyone else take the risk with him.
"This" Chen Haobai hesitated. After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Dear guest, I need to tell you that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King under the Demon Whale Sea is the most terrifying existence in the sea. Any human spirit beast or spirit beast who tries to fight with it will suffer a terrible fate. was killed.”
"You are indeed very powerful, but in the face of such existence, I'm afraid."
Ning Tianchen suddenly smiled, "Relax, I'm not going to challenge him, and I won't fight with him. You don't need to know about other things, just send me there."
Chen Haobai sighed and finally agreed.
However, he also had a condition. This matter required the consent of Ning Rongrong and others.
Of course he wanted to take the opportunity to let Ning Rongrong and others convince Ning Tianchen not to take risks.
But how could Ning Rongrong and others stop what Ning Tianchen decided. Moreover, Ning Tianchen had already calculated the success rate in his mind, and he would not do anything that had no chance of winning.
……
In front of Barak City, after nearly half a month of investigation, the Five Shrek Monsters finally found a route into the city.
The city of Barak is not a Soto city and does not produce food itself. With such martial law in place in the city, how dare foreign grain merchants come here?
As long as the war does not burn here, once the city runs out of food, riots and unrest will inevitably occur.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
In order to maintain order in the city, Barak City has a separate grain transportation channel for grain, and grain trucks will drive into the city every few days.
After figuring out the pattern, Tang San and others immediately had an idea.
Tang San said: "The next grain truck will arrive this evening. Following the grain truck is our only hope of entering the city."
Dai Mubai wiped his neck, "Let's look for the grain truck along the road, and then take the opportunity to blend into the convoy."
Tang San shook his head, "Mubai, there's no need for us to bother ourselves."
After all, Barak City is the capital of a country, and many businessmen and nobles have their properties and families in the city.
Merchants and nobles are wealthy owners who cannot enter the city themselves, so they will inevitably use these grain transport fleets to achieve their purpose of entering and exiting the city.
Therefore, they did not need to kill people at all, and they could enter the city smoothly by spending money to bribe the grain transport officials.
For Tang San, he didn't want to spend money casually on matters that could be solved by killing people. After all, they were not rich. But they didn't understand the situation of the grain transport convoy at all. If they killed the wrong person and caused trouble, it would be difficult for them to enter the city again.
Yu Tianheng agreed: "Tang San is right. In the current situation, spending money is indeed more appropriate than killing people."
"Follow me." Tang San greeted everyone.
After this period of observation, he discovered the route of the grain transport convoy.
Arriving at the official road twenty miles outside the city, Tang San keenly discovered that the hotels around the official road were almost full of people.
These people either came to hijack the grain truck, or they had the same idea as them.
Of course, hijacking grain trucks is obviously unrealistic. If you rob a grain truck, the food in the truck is not enough to feed ten people for half a month, but if you rob the entire convoy, it will only be possible if the robber's brain is broken.
The grain transport convoy stretched for several kilometers. After the robbery, people were discovered sooner or later while transporting the grain away. This place is so close to Barak City, and the guards will soon chase and support them.
Unless the bandits are about to starve to death, no one will even think about transporting food convoys.
Sure enough, when the Five Shrek Monsters entered a hotel to rest, they noticed the situation inside the hotel.
Most of the guests were dressed as businessmen and were obviously not vicious criminals.
Ruling out the possibility of hijacking grain trucks, these people must have the same idea as them.
Yu Tianxin's face was full of annoyance, "When we came, we left in a hurry, otherwise we wouldn't have to wait for half a month."
Tang San whispered: "Hush, the situation is unclear, don't reveal our purpose, lest we be deceived!"
Yu Tianxin quickly fell silent.
However, what he just said still attracted the attention of the man at the next table.
This middle-aged man dressed as a businessman sat familiarly at the small table of the Shrek Five Monsters and said with a smile: "Are you guys on the same journey?"
Tang San frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, we have never met each other, how can we talk about it on the same road?"
The man raised his hand towards the Shrek Five Monsters and introduced himself: "My name is Hilton, and I am the president of the Hilton Chamber of Commerce."
Hilton Chamber of Commerce is an influential chamber of commerce in Barak City.
However, Tang San and others have never lived in Barak City and don't know much about this chamber of commerce.
Hilton continued: "To be honest, our Chamber of Commerce is participating in this grain transport convoy. If you are interested, you can pay to go to the city with me."
Hilton simply wanted to attract some customers. After all, the Hilton Chamber of Commerce had spent a lot of money in order to bid for this food transportation task. Only by bringing more people into the city could they make some money.
Of course, they can't just transport food. How much is the profit from food? Is it worth taking care of it? In the name of transporting grain, they will of course transport some other supplies.
Tang San didn't understand the other party's situation, so he asked in a low tone: "How can I trust you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked into the hotel and offered his hand to Hilton: "President Hilton, if Wang wants to come in, please set a price."
Hilton said enthusiastically: "One hundred gold soul coins per person, and they must change into the clothes of an escort."
The man paid the money readily, and Hilton gave him a note, which was the voucher for entering the motorcade.
Seeing that there was something going on, Tang San asked: "How much do we want for the five of us?"
He wasn't worried about being cheated. With his strength, anyone who dared to cheat him out of his money would be killed.
Hilton pretended to be regretful and said: "If someone introduces you or is an old customer, you can enter the city with one hundred gold soul coins. If no one introduces you, you will have to pay one hundred and fifty gold soul coins."
Tang San sneered and said: "We went to the city to complete what Sect Master Ning told us. Why, Sect Master Ning's name is not loud enough?"
Hilton was shocked and quickly confirmed: "Which Sect Leader Ning is it?"
Tang San asked back: "Are there other Ning sect leaders in the world?"
Ning Fengzhi's reputation on the mainland was extremely resounding, and Tang San didn't expect that relying on his reputation could bring such good results.
Hilton's business had already intersected with the Qibao Glazed Sect, so he was naturally willing to sell Ning Fengzhi's reputation.
Of course, in his impression, no one dared to impersonate the name of the three sect masters, so he instinctively chose to believe Tang San.
He didn't receive a penny, and when the grain transport convoy arrived near the hotel, he even took the Shrek Five Devils into the convoy himself.
When the grain transport convoy drove to the grain transportation channel in Barak City, the guards only symbolically checked the first few grain trucks. After confirming that they were grain, they directly let them go.
As for the fat and pot-bellied "escorts" in the grain transport convoy, the guards turned a blind eye and did not check their identities at all.
The Five Shrek Monsters entered the city so easily.
