Chapter 139: Coma (2), Soldiers Arrive at Tiandang Mountain
Chapter 139: Coma (2), Soldiers Arrive at Tiandang Mountain
In March of the following year, spring returned and the weather gradually warmed up.
However, this seemingly peaceful season was broken by an earth-shaking event - the Demon-Slaying Army Commander Gongsun Wen successfully broke through the bottleneck of his cultivation and entered the mid-seventh stage!
The news spread across the continent like thunder, and people were shocked.
You must know that the path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous, and each step of advancement requires tremendous effort and cost.
The fact that Gongsun Wen was able to achieve such amazing results in such a short period of time undoubtedly proved his extraordinary talent and strength.
Just as everyone was still immersed in the joy of Gongsun Wen's breakthrough, an even more shocking piece of news came:
Gongsun Wen officially announced that he would launch a full-scale war against the demon clan! Suddenly, the situation changed drastically and the whole world was shaken.
The demon-slaying army acted quickly and, according to a carefully planned strategic deployment, divided its troops into four groups and launched a fierce attack on the demon clan.
The first army was led by Gongsun Wen himself, with five elite battalions under his command. They attacked the areas around Zhenyao County and Bodhi County like a tiger descending from a mountain.
These places have always been where demons have been active, but facing the powerful demon-slaying army, the demons have no power to fight back.
Gongsun Wen issued a clear order: Kill them all! Thus, a bloody massacre began, and countless monsters died tragically.
At the same time, the second army was led by the highly respected Zen Master Yulin.
They also have five powerful teams, targeting the gathering point of the demon tribe near Zhenwang City.
Although Zen Master Yulin is compassionate, he hates the evil deeds of the demons.
Therefore, he issued a kill order without mercy, determined to completely eliminate this group of scourges.
The third army was led by Xiao Yao, the great elder of the Hengdao Escort Agency.
The five teams he led were specifically responsible for clearing out the monsters in the imperial forests, lakes and other places.
The terrain here is complex, and it is extremely difficult to find the monsters hiding in it.
But who is Xiao Yao? His seventh-level peak cultivation makes him somewhat carefree.
It was naturally no problem for Xiao Yao to find the hiding place of the demons. The demons they found were no match for him at all, and soon they suffered heavy losses.
The last army was commanded by Yuwen Nuo.
The five brigades under his command were entrusted with an important mission, which was to conduct a mopping-up operation against the gathering places of the demon tribe in other areas, and to launch a large-scale search throughout the empire, without missing any trace of the demon tribe.
Yuwen Nuo knew that the task was arduous, but he was not afraid and resolutely threw himself into this life-and-death battle.
The four armies advanced in unison, forming a dragnet that forced the demons into a desperate situation.
The entire dynasty fell into a tense atmosphere, and the people were looking forward to it, hoping that the demon-slaying army could eradicate the demons as soon as possible and restore peace to the world.
In September of the same year, the demon clan rose up in resistance. Seventeen sixth-level demon kings and three seventh-level demon emperors launched a beast tide on Tiandang Mountain outside Zhenxie County, intending to negotiate with the dynasty.
In the same month, 100,000 soldiers of the Demon-Slaying Army gathered at Tiandang Mountain, and 20,000 soldiers of the Suppressing Evil County gathered at Tiandang Mountain.
In the same month, 30,000 troops to suppress the king, 10,000 troops to suppress the demons, and 20,000 troops to suppress the devil gathered at Tiandang Mountain.
The next month, the 50,000-strong Sword King Army Alliance and the 50,000-strong War King Army Alliance arrived at Tiandang Mountain.
In the same month, 50,000 elite Yang'an troops of the imperial dynasty arrived at Tiandang Mountain.
Seeing this, the three Demon Emperors asked for negotiations again, but were decisively rejected, and the negotiations officially broke down.
A beast tide rose up at Tiandang Mountain, leading millions of monsters to attack Zhenxie County, but they were besieged by the 330,000-strong coalition army of the Shenlong Dynasty in front of Tiandang Mountain and could not advance an inch.
Upon hearing the news, beastmen from all over the world rushed to support. In a short while, there were more than ten million beastmen in front of Tiandang Mountain, and they fiercely attacked the human positions.
In December of the same year, the human and demon races had been fighting fiercely for more than three months. The human race had not retreated a single step, while the demon race was already showing signs of fatigue.
……
The headquarters of the demon-slaying army of the Dragon Dynasty.
At this time, many big guys gathered in the Demon-Slaying Army’s tent.
The commander of the Demon Slaying Army, Gongsun Wen, sat at the head desk, and below him sat dozens of big men including twenty captains of the Demon Slaying Army, Xiao Changtian, the prefect of Zhenxie County, the commander of the Zhenwang Army, the commander of the Zhanwang Army, the commander of the Jianwang Army, the commander of the Yang'an Army, etc.
"It's getting cold."
Gongsun Wen looked at the people below and sighed softly as if thinking about something.
Everyone below seemed to be thinking about something, but they all kept quiet and did not speak, waiting quietly for the legendary commander Gongsun Wen to continue speaking.
Seeing this, Gongsun Wen did not continue to make any witty remarks, but directly said:
"The battle should be over this month!"
"It's just a tribe of demon beasts and three demon emperors. If we drag it on, I, Gongsun Wen, will be too incompetent."
Gongsun Wen looked around, then continued, looking at the people below:
"I declare that starting tomorrow, all my imperial armies will launch a siege against the monster tribe. All units must obey orders, attack with all their might, and strive to complete the mission on time."
"Twenty captains of the Demon Slayer Army, listen to my orders!"
Gongsun Wen's voice suddenly rose and he shouted loudly.
Twenty captains stood up one after another, bowed to Gongsun Wen and said:
"My men, follow my orders."
"I order you to charge at the demon beast clan in front of Tiandang Mountain tomorrow and strangle them with all your might. No mistakes are allowed."
After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, the twenty captains bowed and said:
"Order!"
"The three armies of suppressing demons, suppressing devils, and suppressing evil will be under the unified command of Xiao Changtian, the governor of Zhenxie County, starting tomorrow. The leaders of the three armies must obey. Xiao Changtian, listen to my orders."
Gongsun Wen continued to give instructions.
Although Xiao Changtian and Gongsun Wen were both county magistrates, Gongsun Wen was now also the commander-in-chief of the demon-slaying army, with elite soldiers and generals under his command, so Xiao Changtian had to submit to him. In addition, Xiao Changtian was only at the fourth level, while Gongsun Wen was at the seventh level, so it was natural for the weak to submit to the strong.
Xiao Changtian stood up respectfully, bowed and said:
"Xiao Changtian is here, Commander Gongsun, please speak."
Gongsun Wen was too lazy to care why Xiao Changtian called him Commander Gongsun instead of Governor Gongsun. Gongsun Wen naturally understood these twists and turns, but was too lazy to care.
Ever since he broke through the seventh level, Gongsun Wen realized that strength is the only truth and tricks are just side tricks that cannot be put on the table.
"Starting tomorrow, County Magistrate Xiao will lead the three divisions of the Evil Suppression, Demon Suppression, and Demon Suppression counties to go around the back of Tiandang Mountain and kill the fleeing demon tribe. They must hide and never attack directly."
Xiao Changtian was naturally aware of his own abilities, and nodded quickly in response:
"As you command, please rest assured, Commander Gongsun, I, Xiao Changtian, will never let the fleeing demons escape the encirclement."
Gongsun Wen rarely smiled and said softly:
"If you encounter the Demon Emperor, County Magistrate Xiao should focus on preserving himself. If you can delay them, then delay them. If you can't, then let them go. Then send people to strangle them. I will try my best to hold back the main force of the demon beast clan. County Magistrate Xiao, don't worry."
"My subordinate understands."
Xiao Changtian nodded quickly in response.
