The old barbarian king stood up with a "swish": "With what General Chen said, why should I be worried?"
He patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, took out a dark brown talisman and threw it directly to Chen Shen.
"Although I, the king, will be the commander of this expedition, General Chen will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, with full authority to supervise the military affairs of all parties."
After saying that, the old barbarian king lay down on his desk, scrawled an obituary in a few strokes, and shouted an order: "Immediately send an order to all the tribes. During the period of conquering the Yi clan, all the troops must obey the orders of General Chen, whether they are still or when they move."
"If anyone disobeys orders or is lazy in carrying out orders, he will be killed without mercy!"
"Early tomorrow morning, the army will set out to seize the city of Yishi!"
All the officials in the hall were shocked: "Yes!"
…
Early the next morning, Kai's troops were divided into two groups——
Along the way there were mostly wounded soldiers, prisoners of war from the Yi clan, and people from the original Da clan.
They loaded all the baggage, money and food from Da's tribe into the carriage, carried it on their shoulders, and were personally led by the old barbarian king's confidant Wang Shi, and brought them back to Kai's main city.
The reason why the old barbarian king sent his royal servant to personally supervise the army was to let him see that he was closely following everyone in the group, so that no one would wander off and come into contact with others and reveal the army's plan.
The other way is the crusade army led by the old barbarian king himself, with Chen Shen as commander-in-chief of the three armies——
This unit has 20,000 soldiers and 40,000 craftsmen. Among the 60,000 troops in total, more than 19,000 people are surrendered by the Da clan.
After the integration some time ago, these surrendered troops have long since returned to their original mission, and now they have all performed meritorious services to rectify their military status. Therefore, they are no different from the Kai clan's own troops.
Along the way, Chen Shen relied on the cool skeleton army and many battle pets to explore the path first, so that after their spiritual perception range was spread, there would be no blind spots in the thousands of miles around!
Therefore, Chen Shen commanded Chen Shen to avoid any places where his whereabouts might be exposed.
As for the wild beasts that came to the door without opening their eyes, they were killed by the army to satisfy their hunger.
Twenty-three days later, the Kai clan's army was approaching the east of the Three Gorges and Jiuxi River in the Moonlight Forest.
At this moment, if someone climbs the tree crown and looks due north, he will vaguely see the outline of a mountain through the layers of fog.
Around the mountains, there are trees with silver leaves and golden branches.
This tree blooms once a hundred years and bears fruit once a hundred years.
In other parts of the Xuanling Continent, silver leaves and golden branches are quite rare and precious Xuanpin ingredients. When refining many Xuandan and Xuanfu for the Ling level and even the Earth level, silver leaves, golden branches, or...
Its emerald fruit attracts mysterious spirits.
And now, this silver-leafed golden branch grows in the moonlight forest, and one day becomes a year.
Therefore, it only takes a hundred days to bloom and bear fruit in a hundred days!
This made Chen Shen very excited: "Wow hahahaha, I really found a treasure this time."
"There are occasional growths in Xuanling Continent. Once discovered by various sects, they are often uprooted and transplanted to the sect's land. They are carefully cared for like treasure trees. There are countless silver-leaf and gold-branched trees around the mountains.
What a plan!"
"This vast silver ocean... covers an area of more than a thousand hectares?"
"If you can stay here for a few years, just by collecting silver leaves, golden branches, and jade fruits and bringing them back to the mysterious world, you can earn hundreds of millions of wealth!"
At this moment, Kaiduan Qiu, who was looking up from a high place, pointed to the mountains within sight and said to Chen Shen: "That is Silver Leaf Ridge."
"The city of Yi clan is located on it."
"Well...this distance is about the same."
Chen Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let someone deliver the letter of challenge."
"The army rests and adjusts where it is. After the messenger who delivered the letter of war returns, it will act according to the previous strategy."
"If the envoy does not return after two hours, he will most likely be killed by the angry senior officials of the Yi family."
"So, we will rest here for two hours at most, so that the army can get ready while recuperating."
"Okay!"
Kai Duanqiu geared up: "The war is finally about to begin. I can't wait any longer..."
About half an hour later, the King's Palace of the Yi clan arrived.
After Yi Longtian's eldest son Yi Quxiang read the letter of challenge, he angrily tore it into pieces: "Bastard, bastard!"
"How could my father do such a thing? This is clearly a crime that your Kai clan wants to inflict."
"Come here, behead this guy and hang his skull on the top of the city!"
Then, Yi Qianxi stood up and left his seat, his fighting spirit in the red gold warrior realm was as fierce as fire: "Damn Kai clan, I will never let you come back!"
"Young master, if you are safe, the most urgent task is to seek help from friendly forces in all directions as soon as possible."
"Yes, young master, since the Kai clan dares to issue a declaration of war, they must be well prepared. Don't be careless!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Yi Hu raised his eyebrows slightly and said rather disdainfully: "I am a noble silver trader of the Yi family, and I am as skilled as a cloud. In addition, the city wall's spiritual formation is strong, so why do I need to rely on other people's strength to repel the enemy?"
"If you win, you still have to share a piece of their pie for free. Why bother!"
As soon as these words came out, many of the old men in His Highness shook their heads frequently and sighed in their hearts: "Alas! This young master is a shrewd man, which is a good thing from a business perspective."
"But now that the Kai clan army is approaching, he only cares about his immediate self-interest, but he has failed."
As a result, several elders of the clan tried to persuade him: "Young Master, what you said is wrong."
"Previously, the clan leader transferred the elites of our clan with a secret order. Now the clan army in our city is short of elites. Even though the city is well-defended, it will probably be a bloody battle."
"That's right. If we don't want to give up the advantage and don't find helpers to come, even though we can win against Kai's army, we will inevitably have to suffer a lot in the end."
"Yes, young master, if we can call in all the friendly troops to help and combine the efforts of many parties to defeat the invading enemy, our battle losses will be minimal."
"Only by preserving the strength of our army as intact as possible, when the Lord returns, will we not be swallowed up by tigers and wolves!"
"This is where the great benefits lie. Otherwise, without the tribe's foundation to continue, what benefits would there be?"
In the letter of war issued by the old barbarian king, naturally he would not mention the affairs of Yilongtian and those ten thousand elites.
At this moment, listening to the teachings of the seniors, Yi Huxiang curled his lips in a subtle way, and felt quite unhappy in his heart: "Huh, is it necessary to be so forward-thinking?"
Yi Huxiang is still young, but he has already raised his level of barbarian cultivator to that of a red gold warrior.
Although there is a lot of credit for this, his own talent cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, Yi Huxiang was used to being arrogant and felt that I was the biggest master in the world: "How long will I have to be constrained by these old guys? I'm really annoyed to death!"
But after calming down, he also understood that his wings were not strong enough now.
So he could only nod his head: "Okay, okay, then I'll follow what the seniors said."
Then, he stood up and walked to the back hall, waving his hands lazily: "I am a little tired now, so I will leave all matters related to requesting reinforcements to the seniors."
"This... ugh!"
However, not long after, just when Yi Huxiang was about to have a fierce fire with the two concubines, he suddenly heard an alarm——
"Young Master, sir, something bad is going on. Kai's troops have already arrived!"
"What?"
Yi Huxiang suddenly turned pale: "How did it come so fast?"
