Black Wind Mountain.
Seated cross-legged on a cushion, Xuanqing can’t help but tremble slightly with his body while his gaze seems somewhat hazy.
Moments later.
“Hoo-“}
Xuanqing let out a long sigh, finally returning to normal. Though so much time had passed, he was still unable to resist the comfort brought by time acceleration.
In this half-month period, he had already undergone time acceleration five times, and his God Soul had improved to some extent.
As for the cultivation progress of the “Tiangang Thirty-six Method,” however, it still remained at the completed stage. To reach perfection, there’s still a distance to go.
“Sir-”
A voice came from a distance.
The White Snake Gentleman, dressed in a black dragon robe, hurriedly walked toward Black Wind Mountain.
“Sir… The Wusi Tibetan Kingdom has sent troops. A general named Wen has led one million soldiers to leave the royal capital, heading towards our Black Wind.”
The White Snake Gentleman bent slightly, his tone somewhat anxious.
It’s not that he cared deeply about Black Wind Country, but the development of Black Wind Country would determine whether the Sir could condense the Divine’s flower, and whether he could achieve the Destiny Golden Dragon body.
For any cultivator, no matter how indifferent their character, they can’t help but be involved in matters of cultivation.
One million troops?
Xuanqing frowned slightly, “Are you sure that the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom only has a population of tens of millions, not hundreds of millions?”
“Aah… Huh?” The White Snake Gentleman paused, not quite understanding the meaning of Sir’s words, but still replied: “It’s not hundreds of millions, just tens of millions of citizens.”
“Hehe!”}
Xuanqing smiled slightly.
According to the agricultural level of this era, a kingdom with tens of millions of people could only have a maximum of one million soldiers. Otherwise, they could not afford to feed them.
Even so, these million soldiers were scattered all over the country, and it was impossible to mobilize them all unless it was a battle for the country’s survival.
For example.
This situation was much like that of real-world billionaires, who, though they may claim to have tens of billions of dollars in personal wealth, would struggle to gather even one billion dollars in cash.
“No need to worry, the so-called million-strong army is nothing but a bluff.”
Xuanqing laughed and waved his hand, then explained: “Qingxu, you may not know, but in human countries, when it comes to war, leading tens of thousands of troops can be called an army of hundreds of thousands, and leading hundreds of thousands can be called a million-strong army.”
“In my humble opinion… The Wusi Tibetan Kingdom can mobilize at most one hundred thousand.”}
Upon hearing this,
The White Snake Gentleman suddenly realized, murmuring softly, “So it could be like this…”
If, as Sir said, the other side had only one hundred thousand troops, with the strength of Black Wind’s army, he had the confidence to crush the opposition in a one-on-one battle.
That’s right.
Black Wind Country had one hundred thousand new soldiers, and because Black Wind’s territory wasn’t very large, these soldiers could be mobilized entirely.
“Alright, there’s no need to worry about this Wusi Tibetan issue; I refined an Array Disk a few days ago.”
As he spoke,
A palm-sized jade disk appeared in Xuanqing’s hand, with colorful lights flashing upon it. It vaguely seemed to have five colors intertwined.
“This Array Disk contains the Five Elements Ring Array. The Five Elements cycle between Heaven and Earth to kill enemies and trap people.”
“If the Wusi Tibetan’s troops are too numerous, even if you can’t defeat them head-on, you can use this Array Disk to keep them outside our territory.”
“Yes, Sir!”
The White Snake Gentleman let out a sigh of relief, took the Array Disk, and left Black Wind Mountain.
With Sir’s Array Disk and given the other side’s bluff, he now had absolute confidence in fighting against the Kingdom of Wusi Tibetan.
Watching the White Snake Gentleman leave,
Xuanqing smiled and shook his head. Then he activated Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom and began practicing the “Tiangang Thirty-six Method” in his mind, waiting for Black Wind Country’s National Luck to recover.
As the saying goes,
Before troops and horses are set in motion, provisions must come first.
Fighting a war in this era was no simple matter. The mobilization of personnel, the supporting logistics, and civilian laborers were not just small numbers.
To move out with an army of ten thousand, at least five thousand civilian laborers must be deployed for logistics support in order to operate normally.
And so.
On a broken stone official road, an endless line of armored soldiers formed a long dragon, moving forward at a slow pace.
“General Wen, the logistics are in place, we can speed up now.”
“Hahaha- Good, that’s great.”
General Wen laughed heartily, and then ordered, “Flag Soldiers, listen up! All soldiers, move at full speed!”
“Yes, sir!”
The Flag Soldier responded, and immediately waved the flag in his hand according to a certain pattern, conveying the orders of his general.
In an instant.
The flag soldiers scattered throughout the formation waved their flags one after another, continuing to convey the orders down the line.
In an age without communication… they could only rely on flag signals… beacon fires… and the like to convey information from above.
Here.
Above a grand and majestic city, countless armored soldiers with spears guarded it. The name of this city was Sha City.
Sha City was a new city established after the founding of Black Wind Country. It was rumored that there used to be a Yellow Sand Spirit haunting this place before being exterminated by an immortal, hence the name Sha City.
“Report… The enemy has set up camp ten miles outside the city.”
“Scout again.”
Gentleman Bai She waved his hand, issuing orders with a cold and stern expression.
As the first stop for the Black Wind Country, he took it very seriously and came to the frontline of the battlefield with the Array Disk he obtained from Sir.
About four hours after the enemy set up camp…a massive army appeared, dense and black, heading towards Sha City.
The enemy…is here!
At this moment.
The city’s defenders were on high alert, while the attacking enemy soldiers outside were filled with bloodlust. The two armies confronted each other, charged with a killing aura.
To ordinary people, it only seemed that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive after the confrontation between the two armies.
However.
In the eyes of Gentleman Bai She, who had been cultivating, a different scene was unfolding.
Dragons!
There were two illusory Dragons of Slaughter with scarlet eyes hovering above both sides.
The power of Human Path Destiny…has manifested.
“This is truly terrifying.”
Feeling the pressure that was coming head-on.
Gentleman Bai She’s pupils suddenly contracted, as he thought to himself… No wonder there’s a saying circulated in the Three Realms: “When empires battle, immortals don’t intervene!”
He had a feeling that if he dared to directly slaughter the enemy soldiers in this war, he would probably be strangled to death by the manifested Destiny Slaying Dragon in no time.
Right now, it’s just a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, and the manifested Destiny Slaying Dragon already possesses such power. If it were a battlefield of millions or even tens of millions, even the most powerful beings in the Three Realms would not want to face it.
This is also why the Merit Holy Body of Xuanqing is a constitution even the Western Tathagata, who presides over the world, admires but cannot possess.
Of course, these were aside from the main topic.
Looking back to the battlefield.
At this moment.
The soldiers of the enemy country outside the city surged, and some had pushed carts, siege weapons, or held ladders, charging toward Sha City while shouting slogans.
“Attack the city!
“Reward the first one to reach the city wall with 10,000 gold coins and the title of Marquis!”
On the other side.
Black Wind Mountain.
A Taoist sitting cross-legged on a futon suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something.
“Hoo~”
Xuanqing stood up and looked at the Luck Jade Seal floating in the air!
