Song Zhong was helpless against Shura Xue's appearance. In his opinion, no matter what, he could not allow Shura Xue to follow him to the battlefield. But, Asura Xue was intelligent. Under her soft pleading, SongZhong could only helplessly turn into a ball of silk.
Moreover, she was already here. Song Zhong could not do anything to her. He could not possibly beat his pregnant wife back, right? Even if he could beat her, he could not bear to do so. Thus, SongZhong had no choice but to agree to let her tag along. However, SongZhong had warned Shu Luo Xue to be obedient along the way, and not to take action no matter what. Even if she saw a pre-natal spiritual treasure, she could only stare and let Song Zhong snatch it for her.
Shura Xue naturally agreed. However, only the heavens knew how much she listened to him. In any case, Song Zhong did not trust her enough. Thus, he sent the Ice and Fire Lotus sisters to look after her. On the surface, they were looking after her, but in reality, they were monitoring her to prevent her from doing anything rash.
Shura Xue knew this but did not care. She allowed the sisters to stay by her side and got along well with them.
It was under such an atmosphere that a month passed quickly, and all the people from all walks of life had arrived. With so many troops stationed at Chen Tang Pass, it was naturally bustling with noise and excitement. Thankfully, SongZhong was already prepared and did not feel flustered at all. Everything was handled in an orderly manner.
Taibai Golden Immortal and Fire Lord were full of praise for Chen Tangguan's performance. Even the group of proud warriors from the heaven brought here by them were not picky at all. They were extremely satisfied with the food, drinks, and accommodations!
It was also at this time that Taibai Golden Immortal and Fire Lord witnessed Song Zhong's terrifying administrative skills for the first time. Before SongZhong took over Chen Tangguan, it could only be described as gloomy. The previous head general was heavily injured, and one of the vice head generals had died. Just the compensation for the loss of the Chen Tangguan was enough to drain all of their resources.
Later on, when SongZhong came, he was ambushed by the demonic beasts. A total of 18 city defences were broken through! The soldiers and civilians in the city were all killed! Strictly speaking, the Chen Tangguan at that time was no different from bankruptcy!
Moreover, there was the risk of a shortage of funds and resources. There was also the worry of the people. Outside, there was also the monster race's revenge army that could attack at any time. It was an extremely dangerous situation, both internal and external.
But even in such a disadvantageous situation, without seeking Zhu Rong Tian's help, SongZhong was able to repel his enemies in a short span of a hundred years. He was able to turn Chen Tang Pass into the wealthiest and safest place in the Dragon World of the four seas.
Take the reception this time as an example. Zhu Rong Tian's army of one million, plus the other four generals' army of over one million, that was a total of two million people! So many people's meals were arranged in an orderly manner, without any difficulties. They didn't even disturb the civilians. This was simply unimaginable in other places at the same level!
Even if Zhu Rong City, the capital of Zhu Rong Tian, suddenly took out the food for two million soldiers, it would be a little difficult. And it was impossible to set the standard as high as Chen Tangguan. They ate lavish fish and meat, and lived in a neat and spacious military camp. It was truly a little too good to be expected!
Others might not pay much attention to these details, but Taibai Golden Immortal and Fire Lord were different. They had been in politics for many years, and naturally knew how amazing it was for Chen Tangguan to achieve this. All of them could not help but sigh in their hearts, 'This SongZhong is just too strong. Giving him a broken Chen Tang Pass, he was able to turn it into such a state in just a hundred years. What if he was given the Dragon World of the Four Seas? Or even a bigger place? Wouldn't a large part of the troubles in the heaven be solved? '
Of course, such thoughts only lingered in the minds of Taibai Golden Immortal and Fire Lord, and they didn't say it out loud. Because it was not the right time to talk about it.
After resting for a few days in Chentang Pass, the two million strong army set off in a grandiose manner. One had to admit that when the heaven's army marched out, the scene was simply too magnificent!
Heaven's army was known for their excellent training. When they marched, they divided into square formations of ten thousand soldiers. Each square formation had one hundred rows, and one hundred soldiers in each row. Exactly ten thousand soldiers. They lined up neatly, with thirteen officers in the center. Ten lieutenants, each in charge of one hundred soldiers, and one captain, two vice-captains, and three generals, were in charge of this army of ten thousand soldiers.
Behind this square formation were three drums, each with a diameter of forty to fifty feet. Each drum had four drummers. The sound of the drums was an order, and different drumbeats represented different meanings. They were used to command the army. Apart from that, these specially made drums also had the effect of raising morale. Once the war god drum was played, the morale of the soldiers who heard it would be greatly boosted, and they would be unstoppable!
Finally, it was worth mentioning that around the square formation were forty Wind Cloud Banner Bearers, with ten on each side.
Each of the Wind Cloud Banner Bearers held a Wind Cloud War Flag in their hands. When the banner bearers waved it, a white war cloud would float out and support the army. Forty Wind Cloud Banner Bearers surrounded a ten thousand man square formation, and they could set up a huge white war cloud to drag the entire ten thousand man square formation forward. This was the most basic long-distance travel method for the heaven's army.
The war flags of the Wind Cloud Banner Bearers were all specially made immortal artifacts, and they only needed a little immortal energy to activate them. Therefore, they could be used for a long time, and could allow them to fly for several months!
Ordinary large armies all used this method to fly. With more than two million people, more than two hundred huge war clouds flew up and arranged themselves according to the formation. Some were high, some were low, and the distance between them was not the same, but it was very orderly. Then, together, they advanced into the distance.
Apart from these war clouds, there were also cavalry riding on various immortal beasts patrolling back and forth between the war clouds. They were a powerful mobile force, and apart from being responsible for protecting the formation from being ambushed, they were also responsible for scouting the enemy from afar. From time to time, they would see one or two immortal beast cavalry patrolling in a certain direction under the orders of their superiors.
When the entire army flew in the sky, it was abnormally quiet, but it was full of killing intent. They were well-prepared and did not care about any enemies at all!
In addition to these ordinary troops, there were a few very special troops in this expedition.
The first was the famous Purple Firmament Thunder Army. They were all wearing purple armor and holding huge sabers in their hands. Purple lightning flashed on the sabers, and it was very terrifying.
The war clouds they rode were also different. They were completely purple, and lightning flashed from time to time. When they flew, their speed was also very fast. It could be said that they were definitely not slower than Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals. From this, it could be seen that they also had ninth-grade immortal artifacts, which were specially used to accelerate their flight.
The Purple Firmament Thunder Army was arranged in the center, near the back. It was a position where they could support the other troops at any time, which fully demonstrated their importance.
Next to the Purple Firmament Thunder Army was the Fire Lord's personal troops, the Fire Crow Army. They were still the same, stepping on the fiery red clouds and flying at a moderate speed. They and the Purple Firmament Thunder Army were on the left and right respectively, guarding the most central flying ship troop.
And this time, Song Zhong's immortal thunder flying ship fleet was actually the most outstanding. It was so popular that it even overshadowed the Purple Firmament Thunder Army and the Fire Crow Army.
It could not be helped. There were a total of 100 flying ships that were more than 3,000 feet long. The way these behemoths moved in the sky was just too shocking. Especially the Thunder Godly Ship, which was the flagship, was not only colorful and dazzling, but also had a length of 6,000 feet, which was really enviable.
Life on the flying ship was naturally many times better than on the battle cloud, so much so that Taibai Golden Immortal and the Fire Lord took the initiative to give up riding on the battle cloud and brought their generals to live on the Thunder Godly Ship.
It was also because of this that the two trump cards, the Purple Firmament Thunder Army and the Fire Crow Army, had to be the left and right escorts of the immortal thunder flying ship fleet. It could not be helped. The commander-in-chief and the generals were all here. How could they not protect them?
However, for Song Zhong, after the Thunder Godly Ship was commandeered, it was not too good news. Because it was not just one or two people who boarded the ship, but thousands of people!
Although the Thunder Godly Ship was very big, it was not a problem to accommodate these people. But the problem was that the people who came were at least Golden Immortal generals. Song Zhong could not let them starve, could he? And with their status here, they could not be casual, could they? Every meal had to be served, and it was the best kind. In addition to the usual Immortal Tea and Immortal Fruits, the three meals a day were very luxurious.
Song Zhong's face was a little green. Fortunately, he was very rich now. Otherwise, he would have gone bankrupt after a month of eating!
Taibai Golden Immortal and the Fire Lord seemed to have taken a fancy to Song Zhong's Thunder Godly Ship, so they were always making fun of Song Zhong all day long. There were only two reasons. Either you give us this Thunderbolt Spiritual Boat, or you get me a better one!
In fact, generally speaking, with the status of Taibai Golden Immortal and the Fire Lord, they disdained to ask their subordinates for things. But Song Zhong was different. They regarded Song Zhong as their confidant, their nephew, so they did not have any scruples when talking to him. If it were someone else, even if they were given a flying ship for free, they would not want it! Because that would tarnish their reputation!
Song Zhong, of course, knew the reason. So, after talking to them for more than ten days, he reluctantly agreed to give each of them an 8,000 feet long flying ship. And it was specially custom-made for them. It was guaranteed that there would only be one of them in the whole Immortal Realm, and there would not be a second one like it!
