Seeing Mu Feng, Ye Xing sighed in his heart.
When they were in Tiancang City, Mu Feng was a Peak Level Eight Martial Scholar. He was so high and mighty that even Ye Xing had to look up to him. But now, he had already killed a Peak Level Eight Martial Scholar and defeated another Peak Level Eight Martial Scholar head-on. He had already surpassed Mu Feng.
All in all, it had only been about three months. Ye Xing was very satisfied with his progress.
However, when he thought of the powerful strength possessed by a Martial Saint, especially when he saw Zi Shanhou easily crush three Martial Saints, Ye Xing was unwilling to be satisfied. He still had a long way to go on the martial path, and he needed to continue moving forward.
Mu Feng controlled the Blue Wind Eagle to land on the plaza. He jumped down from the eagle's back and cupped his fists towards Zi Shanhou.
"Reporting to the Marquis, the Dong Fu Nation has sent out a million soldiers and divided them into four groups to invade our Luo Xing Kingdom. Three hundred thousand of them went to Chang 'an County, three hundred thousand to Nanshan County, two hundred thousand to Guangling County, and the remaining two hundred thousand to Zishan County."
Normal prefectures had 30 to 50 thousand troops. Due to geographical reasons, the prefectures at the border had 100 to 200 thousand troops. Zishan Prefecture was close to Green Cloud Mountain and did not have much contact with Dong Fu Country. As such, they only had 100 thousand troops while the enemy had 200 thousand. The difference in numbers was huge, and Zishan Prefecture was at a disadvantage.
When the students heard this, all of them were indignant and furious. There was no other reason than because the enmity between the Falling Star Kingdom and the Dongfu Kingdom was too great.
More than a hundred years ago, the Falling Star Sect was divided due to the internal strife for the position of Sect Master. During the time of the internal strife, the East Fu Nation took advantage of the situation and invaded the Falling Star Kingdom. They even started a war between the sects, causing the lineage of the Sect Master of the Falling Star Sect to be almost completely annihilated. As for the lineage that failed in the competition for the position of Sect Master, because they were not the main target, they were lucky enough to escape the calamity. They fought their way out of the Falling Star Kingdom and took refuge for ten years.
And in these ten years, the entire Luoxing Kingdom's territory was practically occupied by the Dong Fu Nation. The Dong Fu Nation's army in the Luoxing Kingdom had committed massacres, rapes, robberies … all sorts of crimes. In these ten years, at least tens of millions of Luoxing Kingdom's people had died at the hands of the Dong Fu Nation.
That was a tragic and stirring era, an era that the Fallen Star Planet couldn't bear to look back on.
Fortunately, there was a talented young man, Lin Xiuyuan, in the branch of the Luo Xing Sect that escaped. In ten years, he had grown to the level where he could compete with the Dong Fu Sovereign. He led the Luo Xing Sect back, and with the help of the allies, they finally recaptured their territory and drove the Dong Fu Nation army out of the Luo Xing Kingdom's territory.
Although the Falling Star Sect had been restored and the Falling Star Kingdom had been rebuilt, the hatred between the Falling Star Kingdom and the East Supporting Kingdom was difficult to erase. It had been passed down from generation to generation, and even now, the two countries were still mortal enemies.
After that, there were several wars between the two countries, and even wars between sects. However, neither side was able to gain any advantage, and their national strength was greatly damaged. Thus, they gradually restrained themselves.
Although the conflict between the two countries had always existed, a war involving millions of troops had not happened for decades.
Zishan Hou frowned and said, "A million soldiers? It has been a long time since the East Supporting Kingdom deployed troops on such a large scale. What are the arrangements in the capital? "
Mu Feng said, "The Young Lord has already sent Shen Wei General Rong Jingshan as the War Marshal to lead millions of troops to deal with this war. However, Marshal Rong only sent 50,000 troops to support Zishan County. He said that the army has to stop the enemy's main force in Chang 'an County and Nanshan County, so he can only send 50,000 troops to Zishan County. He wants Zishan County to defend its territory and wait for him to destroy the enemy's main force."
The Luo Xing Kingdom was established by the Falling Star Sect, and the Sovereign was the King. However, the Sovereign only managed the affairs of the Falling Star Sect. Compared to the major affairs of the Sect, the affairs of the Luo Xing Kingdom were considered small matters. The Young Lord was the successor of the Sovereign. He could be the Sovereign's son or disciple.
To join the army, the lowest requirement was to be a true martial artist of the fourth level of the Martial Path. As for the generals, the lowest requirement was to be a master of the seventh level of the Martial Path. Some of the higher ranked generals were even at the eighth or ninth level of the Martial Path. Every additional 10,000 people would significantly increase the strength of the army.
Zishan County only had 100,000 troops and 50,000 reinforcements, which was 50,000 less than the enemy. The enemy had 50,000 more troops, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, there were at least 5 more captains of the ninth level of the Martial Path, 50 more captains of the eighth level of the Martial Path, and 500 more captains of the seventh level of the Martial Path.
From this, it could be seen that the difference in strength between the two sides was huge.
It was extremely difficult for Zishan County to use only 150,000 troops to stop the 200,000 East Supporting Kingdom's army outside of its territory.
Of course, it was not impossible. There were many examples in the history of war where a country with a smaller number won. It was just that they had to defend and not attack. 150,000 troops, although difficult, could be done.
Because of this, Rong Jingshan had sent 50,000 troops to Zishan County as reinforcements. If he did not send any troops, it would be impossible for Zishan County's 100,000 troops to stop the enemy, unless Zishan Hou personally went up.
However, the level of a country war and a sect war was different. Not only Luo Xing Country and Dong Fu Country, but the neighboring countries also had a war agreement.
The country war was limited to the ninth level of the Martial Path. Martial Saints could only plan and command, and could not take action.
Once they took action, it meant that a sect war had started. This was much higher level than a country war. It would cause a large number of Martial Saints to die. Whoever started a sect war first would be the sinner of the sect.
Zishan Hou thought for a while and said: "Recruit mercenaries in the county city and let them accumulate military merits. They can use their military merits to exchange for martial arts, herbs, weapons, pills, money and other things. Recruit as many mercenaries as you can to fight against the East Supporting Kingdom's army."
"Yes, Master Hou!"
Mu Feng accepted the order and left on the Green Wind Eagle, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Zishan Hou stood on the highest floor of the VIP building, looking down, he said: "The battlefield has always been a place where experts come out. Without high cultivation talent, wanting to stand out and surpass the geniuses? There is only one way, go to the battlefield! Without high martial arts talent, wanting to have outstanding battle strength and be invincible in the same realm? There is only one way, go to the battlefield! Only in the midst of life and death can a true expert be created. The battlefield is the place to temper life and death. There, you may die, but there is also the possibility of becoming stronger. Students, if you want to become stronger and have the courage to face life and death, then go to the battlefield and kill the East Supporting Dogs! "
His voice surged and spread in all directions. Everyone heard it clearly.
"I want to go to the battlefield and kill the East Supporting Dogs!"
"I'll go …!"
"I'll go too …!"
… …
No matter where it was, there would always be people with hot-blooded hearts. Immediately, many students spoke up and were willing to go to the battlefield. First, to temper themselves, second, to kill the East Supporting Dogs.
However, although everyone hated the people of East Fu, the battlefield was not a safe place. Not everyone had the courage to face life and death. Most of the students remained silent.
"I'm willing to go!" Ye Xing took a step forward and said.
As a visitor from Earth, Ye Xing did not understand the grudges between the Luoxing Kingdom and the East Supporting Kingdom. However, he believed that the battlefield produced the strongest. His martial arts attainments were superb, his archery attainments were profound, and his super brain had a large number of martial arts secret manuals. However, until now, Ye Xing had not fully mastered them.
His cultivation was sufficient, and his knowledge of martial arts was sufficient. The reason why he had not fully mastered them was because Ye Xing knew that his battle experience was still too little. Therefore, now that he had the opportunity, he should go to the battlefield to gain experience.
He believed that with his strength, as long as he wasn't surrounded by thousands of soldiers, no one would be able to stop him in the Kingdom War. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could still escape. Therefore, he was still very safe. Unlike ordinary soldiers, who had a 50/50 chance of dying in a battle, it was too dangerous.
"I'll go too." Seeing that Ye Xing wanted to go to the battlefield to sharpen himself, Wei Qingxuan also spoke up.
She was a very strong person. Since Ye Xing dared to go, she was naturally not afraid.
This was because Ye Xing and Wei Qingxuan, the two first and second ranked geniuses, were not afraid of death. They were willing to go to the battlefield to sharpen themselves. This made some students who were hesitant feel ashamed.
Other geniuses dared to go through dangers just to become stronger. My potential is far from theirs. If I don't dare to go through life and death situations, how can I become stronger in the future? How can I have a higher status in my family?
With this thought, there were suddenly a few students who spoke up one after another. They were also willing to go to the battlefield to sharpen themselves.
As a result, almost forty percent of the students chose to go to the battlefield.
As for the teachers in the academy, they were not willing to go. It depended on the allocation of the academy. Zishan County was in a dangerous situation. Most of the teachers had to go to the battlefield. Only a few could stay in the academy.
In the end, Zishan Academy decided that Wu Yunshan and Wang Haiqing, the two vice-principals, would be the leaders. Among them, three ninth layer teachers, thirty eighth layer teachers and deacons, and five hundred and forty-seven students would participate in the battle.
In one day, Zishan Marquis Residence recruited more than ten thousand mercenaries. Along with the teachers and students of Zishan Academy, they rushed to the border of Dongshan City.
When Ye Xing and the others arrived at Dongshan City, the Dong Fu army had already arrived a day earlier. They were resting in the mountains more than ten li outside the city.
The Dong Fu army had a large number of people while the Luo Xing army had a small number of people. Naturally, they had to rely on Dongshan City for defense. They did not take the initiative to attack.
On the first day, there were more than twenty individual battles between the two sides.
On the second day, the Dong Fu army still did not launch a large-scale attack. They continued to send people to challenge.
Outside Dongshan City, early in the morning, a mighty voice came: "Does your Luo Xing Kingdom have a warrior of the seventh layer of the Martial Path who wants to fight with me, Ishii Shō?"
When this voice came, the soldiers in Dongshan City were immediately shocked.
"It's this Ishii Shō again. Yesterday, he killed five Centurions of the seventh layer of the Martial Path."
"Damn it, this Ishii Shō's Body Refining Technique is very high. Even a master of the eighth layer of the Martial Path may not be able to win against him. Who in the seventh layer of the Martial Path can be his opponent?"
"Motherf * cker, he challenged us in front of the city, but no one on our side accepted the challenge. Not only did it ruin our reputation, it also lowered our morale. If someone had accepted the challenge, they wouldn't have been a match for him.
…
"What, in the dignified Luo Xing Kingdom, there is no Martial Path Master who dares to fight with me, Ishii Shō? Could it be that they were all cowards? Hahahaha …! "
