Three months later, the warlord forces led by the former leader of the rebel army, combined with the other two forces, raised millions of troops and finally captured all the three states near the border.
As the behind-the-scenes supporter, the tentacles of the forces of the Border Lord Lei Hu also spread to the three states.
As for the ghost realm that was blocked on the road before, after the four ghost cultivators, a ghost commander and three ghost generals, were severely injured and lost the commander's ability to stop them, they were unable to stop the fierce attack of a million-strong army and were directly destroyed.
Take it.
After that, a million-strong army took over the remaining territory of the three states with unparalleled power.
During this period, I never ran into any trouble and it was a smooth journey.
At this time, the leaders and senior officials of the three warlords all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then entered a long period of rest.
"We have finally completed the occupation of the three states. After our men have rested, we will set out again to seize our own territory!"
"Yes, we are already very happy with the Lord of the Frontier, there is no need to fight so hard in the future!"
"I just don't know if the Lord of the Frontier will still support us that much?"
"No matter whether the lord of the frontier will strongly support us or not, with our current strength, it is not difficult to become famous!"
"That is, as long as there is a stable territory, whether it is money, food, ordnance, or anything else, it will be there!"
"Why don't we just rob it if it's a big deal? I was afraid of the frontier lord's reaction before and was too timid. But now it's the critical moment to rob it. The Qi dynasty will last for two thousand years, and the further it goes to the hinterland, the stronger its foundation will be!"
"Don't say this nonsense. We have to be in charge of the place in the future, and we need those rich people to pay taxes!"
"I'm afraid they won't be happy. I've never heard of local tyrants before. There are a few who are willing to pay taxes to the court, but they are all very stingy!"
"Hey, it's not up to them. As long as they learn the methods of the border officials and have full control over their subordinates, they won't be able to do whatever they want!"
"..."
These words naturally reached Lei Hu's ears and did not arouse the slightest interest in him.
"Hey, these guys are testing me!"
Facing the doubts of his two great demons, he smiled disapprovingly and said: "Isn't the meaning of what you said very clear? The three of them helped us conquer the three neighboring states. When we attack the hinterland of Qi in the future, we hope that we will continue to support you as much as ever.
It’s best if there is no shortage of money, food and weapons.”
"Why, are those three leaders still willing to continue to expand their territory for us?"
The Gale Wolf Demon looked surprised. It wouldn't be very happy on its own terms. How could those cunning warlord leaders continue to do such useless things?
"Of course not!"
Lei Hu smiled lightly and said: "Their subsequent actions are all intended to occupy territory for themselves!"
"What else is there to say?"
The Blue Sky Eagle Demon sneered: "Since they are not willing to continue to work for us in the future, why should they continue to support us vigorously? Do you really think that money, food and weapons are all blown by the strong wind?"
Seeing that the two great demons under him had such attitudes, Lei Hu shook his head and chuckled, and said angrily: "Things are not what you imagined. Our support for these three forces cannot be cut off, and the intensity cannot be reduced!"
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
The two great demons spoke in unison: "Isn't this a benefit to those three companies in vain?"
Monsters are monsters. Even if their intelligence is widened, their intelligence alone is far superior to that of ordinary humans. Unfortunately, monsters are hard to get rid of, and their behavior is often too childish and crude.
"How can you say that those three companies are cheap for nothing?"
Lei Hu smiled and said: "It will take a long time to completely accept the three neighboring states, right?"
The two great demons nodded in unison. The area adjacent to the Three Prefectures is as large as three borderlands, not to mention the larger number of towns and villages there. It is not easy to completely control it.
Especially like the border government, spreading its tentacles to the village level management requires a large number of management personnel, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short time to completely control the local area.
Local powerful people will never give up local power easily. When the time comes, there will be another fight between dragons and tigers.
Lei Hu has analyzed and discussed these with the two big demons early on. The two big demons have a deep understanding of this and will not simply think that the three neighboring states are easy to control.
Fortunately, Lei Hu has been in charge of the Three Thousand Miles Frontier for nearly twenty years and has always focused on cultivating talents.
This avoids the talent shortage that will definitely occur when we are close to the three states, otherwise the situation will only become more complicated and worse.
The system of the Three Thousand Miles Frontier is completely different from the traditional governance method of Daqi. If we had not completely replaced the old model with a new management method from the beginning, and then adjusted it after the territory was stabilized, the energy and price required would be
Much bigger than now.
That's it. It is impossible to completely control the territory of the three neighboring states without three to five years of time to digest it.
The two great demons had already known this in their hearts.
Now that they heard Lei Hu's question, they immediately looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
“It will take time for us to stabilize the new territory!”
Lei Hu smiled and said: "With our reputation, do you think that all the forces in the hinterland of Daqi will give us peace of mind to control the time approaching the three states?"
Just kidding, the Three Thousand Miles Frontier is controlled by a big demon. This news is no longer a secret.
Because there was no serious relationship before, even if the forces in Daqi's hinterland knew about it, they wouldn't take it too seriously. Anyway, the matter was none of their business.
But now the situation is different. As the lord of the frontier controls the land close to the three states, the frontier forces have joined forces with the outer areas of Daqi's hinterland, and there will be a direct competitive relationship.
At this time, the forces in the hinterland of Daqi will naturally not give up to the border forces. They will safely accept the time approaching the three states, and there will definitely be no shortage of small moves in the dark.
Even, if possible, they will directly raise troops to invade, and will never give the border forces the opportunity to easily take over the three neighboring states.
Not only the warlord forces will do this, but the magic sects and Jianghu forces will also not easily let go of the opportunity to attack the border forces.
Don't forget, just one sentence that humans and monsters are not mutually exclusive is enough to make many heroes and magicians who have "justice" in mind to attack the border forces unscrupulously.
These are the problems that Thunder Tiger and border officials need to face now.
The two big demons reacted instantly, their expressions became extremely ugly, but they couldn't say much.
When they were the bosses, they were often attacked by magic monks and heroes from all walks of life. Naturally, they knew that humans and monsters were not mutually exclusive. When the time came, the strong men in Qi's hinterland would be able to directly attack the border forces at will.
This is quite a hassle.
"So, we need someone to draw attention to us on the border!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "Since those three families are very ambitious, then help them and continue to support them with money, food and military equipment. These are not problems for us!"
"As long as the three of them make noise outside, the more they will help us!"
When the two great demons heard this, they nodded in agreement.
"As for the Shufa sect and the martial arts masters, it's not like we don't have anyone left!"
Lei Hu sneered: "Whether it is an existence close to the three states or in the hinterland of Daqi, as long as you dare to come, you must have the consciousness to pay a heavy price!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
The two big demons said in unison: "We can deal with such clowns!"
"good!"
Lei Hu twisted his neck lightly, and a crackling sound of joints was heard, and he said leisurely: "If you have any trouble that cannot be solved, I would also like to take action to loosen the muscles and bones!"
Hearing this, the two great demons shuddered together, feeling a chill in their hearts.
They still can't figure out how strong King Lei Hu is.
But Leihu can make a 'Thunder and Lightning Halberd', a one-time magic weapon that is as powerful as a full-strike attack by a peak expert in the early stage of the Demonic Pill. This means that Leihu's strength has at least reached the late stage of the Demonic Pill, and may even have reached it.
Having reached the peak of demon elixir, half a foot has already stepped into the ranks of demon gods.
Coupled with the gourd magic weapon in his hand, as well as some disposable magic weapons refined by his own hands, his true combat power is probably no worse than that of a strong man who has just entered the realm of demons and gods.
With such strength, looking at the area thousands of miles away, they have never heard of anyone who can match it.
Perhaps the old Black Mountain demon who lives in the hinterland of Daqi and is more than 20,000 miles away from him has such ability, but the two forces are too far apart. There is basically no need to worry about conflicts of interest, and there is no need to worry about the Old Black Mountain demon.
I will take action myself.
To deal with magic cultivators and heroes from all corners of the country, the two great demons felt that their own strength was enough, so why did King Lei Hu need to personally take action?
Of course, if they encounter a difficult situation, they won't be able to end it for a while, so it's not a big deal to ask the king to take action. Who knows that they have such a strong backer behind them?
…
When the leaders of the three warlords received a secret notification from the border officials, you can imagine how happy they were.
"It's good now. With the money, food, materials and original weapons of the borderland, we will have much less trouble in the future!"
"Yes, we can just rush to the hinterland of Daqi, just like what we did before. When the time comes to seize a state, we can also become a prince!"
"What do you think, the Lord of the Frontier, and why do you agree to continue to support us?"
"What else can you think of? We are just used as pawns to attract the attention of the whole country. We are just using each other!"
"With that person's strength, do you still need to worry about threats from the hinterland of Daqi?"
"Who knows, anyway, as long as we get the benefits, we don't need to pay too much attention to it!"
"..."
At the same time, two great demons under the command of the lord of the frontier, Lei Hu, commanded a group of little demons, and aggressively swept away the newly controlled magic sects of the neighboring three states, as well as the disobedient Jianghu forces, which had just experienced more than ten years of war.
In the land of three states, the drama of heroes and magic monks fighting against monsters has begun again...
