Starting from Lin Xiao's order to counterattack, the forty-eight-day counterattack on Xizhou ended with the Dragon Emperor leading his army to withdraw into the wilderness, and the human race achieved a major victory.
In this battle, the human monks only suffered casualties of more than 3 million people, but they killed at least 300 million monsters in the army, and robbed more than 200 million monster corpses.
As for Nanzhou, the casualties were even smaller, less than a million people, and 90% of the battle results were achieved by Nanzhou. The proportion of battle losses was not the same as when the Nanzhou demon clan was expelled. The Nanzhou monks were fierce
The fighting power shocked the entire world of immortality.
After the Xizhou Monster Tribe retreated to the wilderness, the Nanzhou Army did not pursue them again. The Dragon Emperor retreated on his own initiative. The Monster Tribe's strength was not small, and the Wilderness was their basic base. Lin Xiao judged that it was not the time to open up the wilderness yet.
The six grassland nations retreated from the depths of the wilderness, while the Nanzhou army left three million to monitor the Xizhou monsters, five million returned to Nanzhou, and the remaining two million troops went to Central Continent for an expedition, led by Tan Mingzong.
After the recovery of Xizhou, the Xizhou Alliance, led by the five major countries, quickly resumed production. Of their remaining more than six million men, only two million were assembled on the front line, and the remaining four million men were all deployed in a unified manner, such as
It is very complicated to eliminate the remaining monsters, restore the capitals of various countries, repair the buildings therein, reclaim abandoned farmland, repair water measures, plant spiritual rice, elixirs, etc.
It has been more than ten years since the countries in Xizhou fell. Except for some areas controlled by the demon clan, the rest of the places have long been abandoned. In more than ten years, these places have become no different from barbaric wilderness.
However, things in Xizhou are extremely complicated, and the recovery plan of the five major countries is full of difficulties. The first point is that the desert monks headed by Tiandao Sect occupy about half of the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and the strength of the Jin Kingdom is far inferior to that of the desert monks.
At this time, only Jiang Zhiwen's golden body stage and two other spiritual void stages were left in the Jin Kingdom. However, there were already seven golden body stage monks in the desert. In terms of high-end combat power, they were stronger than the entire Xizhou.
The Chinese monks were unable to regain their territory.
Jiang Zhiwen had no choice but to use the power of the Western Continent Alliance to put pressure on the Desert Monk. However, Yu's attitude was extremely tough. He used the excuse that the Desert Monk had not integrated into the Western Continent Alliance and did not follow the orders of the Western Continent Alliance. In these territories, they were even more
It is claimed that it was taken from the hands of monsters, and it is impossible to return it to Xizhou. According to the rules of the human race, whoever takes the territory from the hands of monsters belongs to whom.
Xizhou had to turn to Lin Xiao for help. Lin Xiao had promised Xizhou before to stand up for them. However, the situation changed at this time. Lin Xiao was eager to go to Zhongzhou to command the battle and had no time to stand up.
Moreover, the Xizhou monks at this time were extremely war-weary. They had long been tired of fighting wars for so many years. Now that they had regained their territory, all they thought about was recuperating rather than continuing to fight.
The monks of Xizhou were unwilling to join the war, and it was impossible for the combatants to leave Nanzhou. Under various circumstances, the Jin State and the desert were divided into national boundaries, and the Jin State made up for its losses by annexing the territories left by the remaining destroyed countries.
However, their difficulties were not over yet. After Xizhou was recovered, they had to resume production. At this time, their population was insufficient. It was not that they were lost in the battle, but that they could not be brought back.
When countries retreated in those days, they withdrew a large number of mortals. Take the Qin State of Xizhou as an example. At that time, the young and strong people fought desperately on the battlefield. If they could not protect their women and children, how could those young and strong people be willing to fight to the death? So in those days, the Qin State of Xizhou
The country evacuated at least 30 million mortals.
However, at this time, the Qin State could only bring back five or six million mortals. Why, the situation was very complicated. Back then, they evacuated mainly women, children, and children. Over the past ten years, many people died of illness, old age, accidents, famine, etc.
One group, and even more, were forced to make a living by marrying mortals in Kunlun territory, and had already given birth to children.
Now that Xizhou has been restored and the mortals want to be transferred back, Kunlun doesn't care about those who have nothing to do with the local mortals. However, Kunlun firmly refuses to marry or integrate into the local mortals. The reason is very simple. They are already people from Central Continent.
Separating human flesh and blood is a great evil and Kunlun will not allow it.
Facing the powerful Kunlun, the five countries in Xizhou had no choice but to do anything. The total number of mortals brought back by the five countries was less than 20 million. Even the other small countries combined were less than 30 million, which was not as good as before the war.
The number of mortals in Qin State in Xizhou.
This made the Five Kingdoms of Xizhou extremely humiliating. For this mortal, if the Five Kingdoms were to return to the pre-war level, it would take more than a hundred years, even if they worked hard to govern.
But the five countries still tended to be more realistic and agreed. It was impossible to disagree. They had to race against time to resume development and had no extra energy to do other things.
In order to restore development, Xizhou and Nanzhou borrowed large sums of money. In addition to various resources, there were also a large number of mortal materials, such as cattle, farm tools, rations, seeds, cloth, carriages, craftsmen, etc., all of which were
It must be settled in terms of Xuanjing, and the installments will start to be repaid after ten years. Including the large amount of resources provided by the previous counterattack war, it will take three hundred years to pay back one billion Xuanjing every year.
The huge debts on their shoulders put great pressure on the leaders of the five countries, and they had to accelerate development. For this reason, the Moon Emperor always stayed on the front line, sharing the joys and sorrows with the low-level monks and even mortals, and working together.
The Moon Emperor adopted a collective work model. First, he restored production in various spiritual mountains. All kinds of spiritual fields were restored to cultivation regardless of their grade. Then, low-level spiritual rice and elixirs were planted, while high-level spiritual fields were restored.
Create a spiritual medicine garden and plant high-level precious medicinal herbs.
For the low-level monks, the Moon Emperor also learned how to set up a preaching platform in Nanzhou. He would choose a time every month to personally preach to the low-level disciples, and relax control on the skills. In the past, only nobles and royal families could practice the skills and martial arts.
, it can also be learned by low-level monks.
As for the mortals, the Moon Emperor was even more concerned. She understood that the decisive factor in the mortal population was food, so she sent a large number of monks to reclaim farmland, build water treatment facilities, develop agriculture, and eliminate the remaining monsters and beasts. At the same time, she also
Streamline mortal taxation.
The key is to encourage marriage and childbirth. She forces mortal men and women to get married before the age of fifteen. Those who fail to get married are severely punished. If they fail to get married after being punished three times, they will be confiscated to the government, and the government will appoint a marriage partner. It even requires widows under forty years old.
After remarrying and giving birth to children, there will be a large number of rewards, including fertile land, farm tools, cattle, money, etc. In short, there is only one, and you will do everything possible to increase the population.
·········
The news that the monks from Central Continent and South Continent had repelled the demon clan from West Continent was received. The monks from Central Continent were all excited, but for the demon clan from the three places, it accelerated their thoughts of evacuating.
The demon clan of the three places, led by King Kui Niu and the demon clan of Dongzhou, advocated a retreat and quickly evacuated the terrestrial demon beasts to the eastern part of Central Continent. At the same time, they attacked Qingyang Sect fiercely. The reason why they still want to attack Qingyang Sect is that there is only one copy of the Heavenly Book.
, and there are nine supreme demon kings. If the Wenxian Sect cannot defeat them, they will only have trouble with the Qingyang Sect.
At this time, in addition to the army of monsters in their hands, the monster clans in the three places also had four to five million captive monks. All of them were enslaved by high-level monster kings and worked for them, making Qingyang Sect's defense line extremely dangerous.
.
The Qingyang Sect urgently asked Lin Xiao for help. Faced with his disciple's request for help, Lin Xiao naturally had no reason to ignore it and immediately asked Bai Zichen's troops in the Pengshan and Pengshan areas to go ahead.
Bai Zichen has been in Central Continent for nearly two months. With the 100,000 monks drawn from the five new armies as the backbone, he has reorganized the Central Continent Army with a total of 2 million troops.
However, these armies have not been fully trained. Firstly, the training time is too short and the various tactical battle formation changes are not yet proficient enough. Secondly, the equipment is not in place yet.
Lin Xiao's new army relies heavily on equipment. The cost of each monk's equipment is the cost of five monks in the previous army. Coupled with a swarm of expendable weapons, the overall consumption is more than ten times that of the past. Nanzhou has no spare capacity.
To equip so many people, the truly new army-level monks only had about 300,000 troops armed.
But Bai Zichen still set off without hesitation. He collected flying boats and asked his elite troops to ride on the flying boats to quickly reach the north of the monster army, launch an attack, and contain the monster forces. The remaining army rushed day and night to the battlefield.
At the same time, Nanzhou collected a large amount of combat materials, including a swarm of new weapons and other new weapons, packed them in a large number of storage bags, and then entered the Qingyang Zongshan Gate through the teleportation arrays in various places to support Li Muxue.
After Lin Xiao finished handling the affairs of Xizhou, he quickly caught up with the army entering Central Continent. This time, all the elites of the new army were mobilized. Each of the five new armies mobilized 500,000 horses, totaling 2.5 million, and brought with them
There are a large number of various resources such as Xuanjing cannon, God-destroying crossbow, swarm of bees, and battleships.
The marching speed of the army is really too slow. According to Lin Xiao's estimation, if the two million troops reach the southeastern part of Central Continent by marching, it will take two or three months, and the day lilies will be cold by then.
Therefore, Lin Xiao could only mobilize the flying boats from Nanzhou again, lead one hundred thousand cavalry to take the first step, and then prepare to use the flying boats to continuously transport them.
But before Lin Xiao started taking action, Tang Shuwen from the Suyu Sect sent a message that the Suyu Sect was willing to help. They were willing to let the Nanzhou army enter Tiansu City and enter the Seven Star City through the teleportation array of Tiansu City.
Seven Star City is less than 3,000 miles away from the battlefield, and the teleportation fee only covers costs and does not make any money.
This help made Lin Xiao very happy. He immediately diverted the army to Tiansu City, and then mobilized the army through the teleportation array. The teleportation array in Tiansu City was a large teleportation array that could teleport three hundred people at a time. It could be used day and night, and it could be done in one day.
Teleport more than 10,000 people.
In order to speed up the dispatch, Lin Xiao took out six sets of teleportation arrays at once and hired the formation masters from Tianxiao Sect and Yunxiao Sect to build the teleportation arrays. Lin Xiao had promised that after the war, these teleportation arrays would be given to Suyu Sect and Qixing Pavilion.
The cost of borrowing.
Seven days later, Lin Xiao appeared outside the Seven Star Pavilion, and behind him were 100,000 cavalry. As of today, three teleportation arrays have been set up. A large number of reinforcements will arrive every day, so Lin Xiao can't wait to launch an attack.
