A battle involving more than a million people just ended here.
Countless corpses of humans, monsters, and spirits were piled up randomly and entangled together, like close lovers who would never leave each other until death.
Under the red and green broken armor were the same mutilated limbs, and young faces that had lost all signs of life.
The severely damaged military flag was planted crookedly on the grass with black fire marks. The flag hung weakly, showing desolation, loneliness and decay!
The flames ignited by the "Nanmingli Fire" have been extinguished, and there are scorch marks everywhere on the ground for hundreds of miles.
Countless soldiers in red uniforms were attending to the funeral affairs on the battlefield that had ceased.
One by one, the injured companions were carried away first, and a large number of "herbals" wandered around, quickly treating their colleagues.
The corpses of each Pao Ze were sorted out, and the identity plates were collected one by one.
There will inevitably be casualties in foreign battles, and it is unrealistic to bring the bodies back.
Being in enemy territory, it is also not a good idea to bury your dead companions on the spot so that their dead companions will not be dug out of the soil and whipped to vent their anger.
Therefore, the ‘Suzaku Kingdom’ will cremate all those who died in battle, and these ashes will be taken back together with their identity plates and given to the families of the fallen soldiers.
While treating their own comrades, these 'herbals' will also provide some simple treatment to captured enemy soldiers.
As for the trophies and various seizures, the quartermaster will organize and register them. This is related to the interests of every sergeant and cannot be ignored.
Wanxiang is wearing dazzling golden and red armor, standing on a hill and looking to the east.
All I saw was smoke and dust, and countless people wearing green armor were running away in all directions.
Next to Wanxiang, stood hundreds of generals in red robes. They were all the best people in the Tenth East Battalion.
A general glanced at the defeated soldiers of the 'Luo Kingdom' who escaped, turned to look at Wanxiang with a ferocious ghost face, and asked with some confusion:
"Commander of the Camp, we have defeated the enemy in this battle. Why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue them and let these defeated soldiers go?"
Wanxiang's face is covered with a ferocious black ghost mask, which makes people fearful just by looking at it.
Wanxiang's appearance is as delicate as white porcelain just out of the kiln, delicate and white, with picturesque eyebrows. Even when the eyes are wide open and angry, it will give people a charming and naive feeling.
Just because of this harmless appearance, when it was not showing its greatness, the Chinese people would give it the name "Canary".
When he first led the troops, even the enemy troops he fought used to mock him in every possible way.
Later, Wanxiang specially made a mask with a ferocious ghost face to cover up his outstanding appearance.
After she established her reputation with her unparalleled fighting power, no one dared to look down upon her because of her appearance.
However, Wanxiang was already used to the ghost mask at this time and was too lazy to take it off.
At this moment, hearing his subordinates' questions, Wan Xiang opened his mouth and said:
"Conquer!"
The voice is clear, the tone is crisp, and the words are concise.
The maid who grew up with him explained:
“The princess’ intention is to take over the people in this ‘Luo Kingdom’ for her own use, but if she wants to conquer these people, she must completely defeat their will.
Since these people will be used by our country in the future, we cannot drive them all away!"
The generals around him had long been accustomed to Wanxiang's speaking habits. After hearing the maid's explanation, the general who asked the question said again:
"Since our Eastern Tenth Battalion entered the Eastern Territory four years ago, we have experienced hundreds of battles, large and small.
There have been four million-person battles alone, and more than 300,000 soldiers have been killed.
After all, this is not our country's territory, and there is no supplement in terms of logistical resources or sergeant support.
Nowadays, we are surrounded by enemies. Our army has no advantage due to the right time, right place and right people. The entire army is already exhausted.
If this continues, the enemy's preparations will become more and more complete. If we don't take advantage of the current opportunity to destroy the enemy's strength, there will be more and more support in the future, which will be detrimental to our army?"
What he said makes sense. After the East 10th Battalion invaded the Eastern Territory, although they won consecutive battles, this was the enemy's home field after all.
The 'Luo Kingdom' has a high error tolerance rate, but the East Tenth Battalion is different. As long as there is a large-scale defeat, these nearly five million people may be completely destroyed.
Wanxiang led the East Tenth Battalion to march eastward, obviously heading towards the capital of the 'Luo Kingdom'.
This is the same as the "Lihun Mountain" and "Wanling Tribe" invaded the Suzaku Kingdom. Although they were extremely powerful, they never dared to rush into the core of the kingdom.
After all, the further you advance, the fewer your retreat options will be.
Other generals have also set their sights on Vientiane, which is also a problem they have been worried about.
Wan Xiang replied calmly:
"Seven captures of Meng Huo!"
The generals were stunned when they heard these four words. What kind of allusion is this?
The maid on the side quickly explained:
"In the past, there was a wise man who tried seven times to completely conquer the barbarians..."
Wan Xiang has not liked to talk since he was sixteen years old, but he was a talkative person when he was young.
This maid has been hearing all kinds of weird stories told by Wan Xiang since she was a child.
At this moment, she briefly told the foreign version of the story of 'Seven Captures of Meng Huo'.
This story is very long and has spawned countless other stories, which involve a lot of ingenuity and tactics.
When she was little, she loved hearing Wan Xiang tell this story about the Three Kingdoms.
Listening to the maid happily telling the story about the "Seven Captures of Meng Huo", the generals finally understood Wan Xiang's intention.
But……
"Strange, if I hear such allusions, I will never be unimpressed. Why don't I remember that this happened in my country?
It seems that there is no such example in the art of war taught in the school?"
Another general murmured to himself.
The handsome eyebrows under Wanxiang Ghost's face frowned slightly.
'Yes! I have never heard anyone tell this allusion, so how can I have an impression of it?'
There are many memories like this in Wanxiang's mind, and she doesn't know why this is happening.
Ever since I was little, I have vaguely seen someone with me in my dreams many times.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But this impression is very vague, it seems that I only remember that the person had a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
But every time she woke up from her dream, these memories would dissipate like a tide, leaving no trace.
This is one of the important reasons why Wanxiang later became reticent.
'Who is that person who appeared in the dream?'
With the slightest doubt, Wanxiang fell into deep thought.
…
The central region of the Eastern Region.
A few days later.
The capital of the ‘Luo Kingdom’.
Emerald Crown.
When True Lord Feihong supported the establishment of the 'Luo Kingdom', he was originally on the banks of the 'Luoshui' river.
Later, when the "Luo Kingdom" continued to expand outwards, a tree was discovered where the capital is now.
A huge banyan tree with an umbrella-shaped canopy.
This tree is more than 100 meters in diameter and 150 feet high. The thinnest branches can allow a person to walk freely.
The emerald green branches and leaves glow like jade.
The umbrella-like dome formed by countless branches and leaves tangled together covered the entire area ten miles around.
The tobacco leaves are green and green, and the purple dragon scales are peeled off from the frost skin.
Although it is just a tree, it is as majestic and majestic as a mountain!
Looking from a distance, I saw this tree supporting the sky and the earth, standing proudly between heaven and earth!
The concept of "Luo Kingdom" is very close to nature. When it was extended to this place and saw the beautiful natural scene of heaven and earth, everyone went crazy.
They strangled all the creatures living in this tree.
This is a miracle, and it cannot be blasphemed by any filthy creature other than yourself.
Later, the "Luo Kingdom" established its capital on this tree and named it "Emerald Crown".
It means the most precious pearl between heaven and earth.
After more than three hundred years of development, 800 tree nests have been built on the ‘Emerald Crown’.
Inhabiting these tree nests are some of the most powerful people in the country.
Because this tree is so huge, all resources and energy underground within a radius of dozens of miles have been drained away by it.
Therefore, no plants can survive around the 'Emerald Crown'.
Outside its scope, there are various forests stretching for hundreds of miles. On top of these trees, countless people from the "Luo Kingdom" live.
At this moment, in a huge tree nest on the top of the ‘Emerald Crown’ tree.
Hundreds of senior officials from the Luo Kingdom are gathering here. These people are sitting on their seats with heavy faces, and the air is slightly tense.
The leader of the 'Luo Kingdom' is named Duanmu Yunxiang, and he is currently sitting on the emerald throne looking at everyone with a calm expression.
His silver hair is spread smoothly over his shoulders, his skin is as white as jade, he wears a emerald green brocade robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, and in his right hand he holds a short-handled scepter that looks like green jade.
In terms of appearance alone, he doesn't look like anyone from this world at all.
This is also a major feature of the 'Luo Kingdom'. The purer the bloodline, the more handsome the appearance.
Battle reports from the front have been sent back to the 'Emerald Crown'. The kingdom's fourth large-scale attempt to stop the enemy failed, and nearly 200,000 people were killed.
After this news came back, it caused uncontrollable panic among the people of the 'Luo Kingdom'.
In just a few days, tens of thousands of people moved farther east with their families.
Duanmu Yunxuan glanced at the people below and asked in a solemn voice:
"Everyone, the latest battle situation has been reported. The blocking battle in the boundless green field has failed. According to the speed of the 'Suzaku Kingdom' army, they will invade this place in another month.
I wonder if the elders have any good ideas to deal with this?"
Everyone below looked at each other, and a gray-haired old man said bravely:
"My king, the 'Suzaku Kingdom' is advancing alone. There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals in the country. When King Qin's army arrives, we will definitely..."
Before he could finish speaking, Duanmu Yunxiao interrupted impatiently:
“Don’t deceive yourself and others, since the ‘Suzaku Kingdom’ defeated our country’s foreign army and invaded our territory four years ago.
Not to mention ordinary wars, they only defeated the country's soldiers and horses in the four places of "Ten Thousand Horses Plains", "Shuangfeng Valley", "Misty Swamp" and "Boundless Green Field".
Two thousand troops of ten thousand people were defeated by it successively, and no less than one million soldiers were killed.
The one million-strong team participating in the "Boundless Green Field" is already the country's last elite combat force.
Three of the country's five armies have now been beaten to pieces, and the remaining two armies simply dare not engage in battle.
Now this last line of defense has been breached, and countless soldiers have been beaten to fear.
Nowadays, even seeing a red bird flying in the sky can cause panic, so where is the strength to fight again?"
There was a bit of desolation and despair in Duanmu Yunxiao's words, but more of it was a fear that even he himself was unaware of.
Everyone in the audience lowered their heads and were speechless.
After a long time, an elder with snow-white eyebrows said solemnly:
"The National Founding Day will be in nine months. Otherwise... I will go back to Luoshui for the time being to hold the celebration, and then come back after... a few years..."
Halfway through, he couldn't continue and lowered his head in shame.
Duanmu Yunxiang murmured to himself:
"Nine months...nine more months...hehe!"
He laughed unconsciously to himself.
“The Emerald Crown is the capital of our country and the spiritual pillar of hundreds of millions of people!
Once we retreat from the capital to avoid the enemy, haha, I'm afraid we won't be able to return here again!"
The meaning of these words is not difficult to understand. If Duanmu Yunxiang dares to retreat without a fight, his position as king will never be secure in the future.
"Ahem!"
A middle-aged elder in the audience suddenly coughed twice. When everyone's attention was attracted, he said forcefully:
“My King, the main reason why our country was attacked by the ‘Suzaku Kingdom’ this time was because our country sent 10,000,000 troops to attack the ‘Suzaku Kingdom’ first, which resulted in retaliation.
