Song Zhong seemed very helpless at Shu Luoxue's appearance. According to his idea, Shura Xue could not be allowed to follow him to the battlefield no matter what. However, Shu Luoxue was smart and lovely, and with her soft words and pleading, Song Zhong, who had spent a lot of time making steel, had no choice but to turn into a ring of soft steel.
Besides, people are already here, and Song Zhong really can't do anything to her. He can't beat his wife back after being slapped in the stomach, right? Even if you can beat him, you still can’t bear it? So in desperation, Song Zhong could only agree to let her go. However, Song Zhong warned Shura Xue, telling her to be obedient along the way and not to take action under any circumstances. Even if she saw the innate spiritual treasure, she could only stare at it and let Song Zhong snatch it for her.
Shu Luoxue naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but only God knows how much she listened to. Anyway, Song Zhong didn't trust her enough, so he simply sent the Binghuo Bingdi Shuanglian sisters to look after her. It's obviously taking care of him, but in fact it's surveillance to prevent her from doing anything wrong.
Shu Luoxue also knew this, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Even though the two sisters were around, he still got along very harmoniously with them.
It was in this atmosphere that a month passed in a hurry, and everyone from all walks of life arrived. With so many troops stationed at Chentangguan at once, it naturally became very lively. Fortunately, Song Zhong had already made preparations, so there was no feeling of being in a hurry, and everything was handled in an orderly manner.
Seeing Chen Tangguan's performance, Taibai Jinxian and Huode Xingjun were full of praise. Even among the proud soldiers and generals from heaven they brought, not one of them was picky and they were all extremely satisfied with the food, drink and accommodation!
It was at this time that Taibai Jinxian and Huodexingjun saw Song Zhong's almost terrifying internal affairs ability for the first time. Chentangguan, before Song Zhong took over, could be described as gloomy. The former commander-in-chief was seriously injured, and one deputy commander-in-chief also died. The mere payment of defeat pensions emptied the old foundation of Chentangguan.
Later, when Song Zhong came, he encountered a surprise attack from the demon tribe. Seventeen of the total 18 city defenses were breached! The soldiers and civilians in the city suffered countless casualties! Strictly speaking, Chen Tangguan at that time was almost like bankruptcy!
Moreover, there is the risk of shortage of funds and materials inside, as well as the worries of the people, and there is also the vengeful demon clan army outside, which may attack at any time. It can be said that there are internal and external troubles, and the situation is extremely critical!
But even in such an unfavorable situation, Song Zhong, without asking Zhu Rongtian for help, was able to retreat from powerful enemies and care for the common people in just a hundred years, leaving the shabby Chen Tangguan behind. It has become the richest and safest place in the Four Seas Dragon Realm.
Take this reception as an example. Zhu Rongtian's million-strong army, plus the more than one million troops of the other four generals, that's 2 million people! So many people eat, drink, have sex, and sleep, all arranged in an orderly manner, without any embarrassment, and without even disturbing the residents. This is simply unimaginable in other places of the same level!
Even if Zhu Rongcheng, the capital of Zhu Rongtian, suddenly had to pay for food and drink for an army of 2 million, it would be a little difficult. And it is impossible to achieve such a high standard as Chen Tangguan. There was plenty of meat and fish to eat, and a neat and spacious military camp to live in. It was really unexpected!
Others may not pay much attention to these details, but Taibai Jinxian and Huodexingjun are different. They have been in politics for many years, and they naturally know how amazing it is for Chen Tangguan to achieve this step. They couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts, "This Song Zhong's ability is too strong. Give him a shabby Chen Tangguan, and a hundred years of hard work will make it like this. What if we give him a Four Seas Dragon Realm?" What about even bigger places? Wouldn't it be possible to solve a large part of the troubles in that court? '
Of course, this kind of thought was just swirling in the minds of Taibai Jinxian and Huode Xingjun, and they did not say it out loud. Because it's not the time to talk about this yet.
…
After resting for a few days at Chentangguan, the army of more than two million people set off in a mighty manner. I have to say that the scene when heaven’s heavenly soldiers and generals go out to battle is so majestic!
Heavenly soldiers and generals have always been known for their well-trained training. When they march, they are divided into square formations of ten thousand people. Each phalanx has a hundred rows, and each row has a hundred people, which is exactly 10,000 troops. They stood neatly together, with 13 officers in the center. There are ten lieutenants, each in charge of one hundred soldiers, and there are also one sergeant, two lieutenants, and three generals, who manage this army of ten thousand people.
Behind this square array are three large drums with a diameter of four to five feet. Each drum has four drummers. The sound of drums is a command, and different drumbeats represent different meanings. They are used to command troops. In addition, these specially made drums can also boost morale. Once the music of the God of War drum is played, the morale of the soldiers who hear it will be shaken and they will be unstoppable!
Finally, it is worth mentioning that around the phalanx are forty flag bearers, exactly ten on each side.
Each of the Wind and Cloud Flag Bearers holds a Wind and Cloud War Flag in their hands. When the flag bearer shakes, white war clouds will float out from the flag bearer, supporting the troops in flight. Forty Fengyun flag bearers surround a phalanx of ten thousand people, just enough to form a huge white war cloud, and drag the entire phalanx of ten thousand people to march rapidly. This is the most basic way for heavenly soldiers and generals to travel long distances.
The battle flags of the Fengyun Flagbearers are all specially made immortal weapons. They only require a small amount of immortal power to activate, so they are very long-lasting and can allow them to fly continuously for several months!
Ordinary large forces fly in this way. There were more than 2 million people, and more than 200 huge war clouds flew up. They were arranged according to the formation, some were high, some were low, and the distance between them was different, but they were very regular, and then they marched together in a mighty distance. .
In addition to these war clouds, there are also cavalry riding various fairy beasts, patrolling back and forth between the war clouds. They are a powerful mobile force. In addition to protecting the formation from surprise attacks, they also have the task of detecting the enemy's situation from a distance. From time to time, one or two fairy beast cavalry would be seen patrolling in a certain direction under orders from above.
When the entire army flew in the sky, it was unusually quiet, but full of murderous intent. They are well-prepared and don't care about any enemies at all!
In addition to these ordinary troops, there are several very special teams in this expedition.
The first one is the famous Zixiao Thunder Army. They are all wearing purple armor and holding giant swords in their hands. Purple lightning crackles on the blade, which is very scary.
The war cloud they were riding on was also different. It was purple in color, with lightning generated from time to time. When flying, the speed is astonishingly fast. It can be said that it is definitely not slower than Hunyuan Golden Immortal. It can be seen that they also possess ninth-grade immortal weapons, which are specially used to accelerate flight.
The Zixiao Thunder Army is placed in the middle and back, a position that can support other troops at any time, which fully demonstrates his importance.
Next to the Zixiao Thunder Army, there are the Fire Crow Army, the personal soldiers of Lord Huodexing. They are still the same, stepping on the fire-colored clouds and flying leisurely. He and the Zixiao Thunder Army were on the left and right, guarding the flying boat troops in the center.
But this time, Song Zhong's Immortal Thunder Flying Boat Fleet was actually the most outstanding. It was so popular that it even surpassed the Zixiao Thunder Army and the Fire Crow Army.
There was no way, there were a hundred flying boats of more than 3,000 feet, and the sight of those behemoths traveling in the sky was really shocking. Especially the flagship Thunder God Boat is not only colorful and dazzling, but also has a length of 6,000 feet, which is really enviable.
Life on the flying boat is naturally infinitely better than on the war cloud, so much so that Taibai Jinxian and Huode Xingjun voluntarily gave up riding on the war cloud and took their generals to live in the Thunder God Boat together.
It was precisely because of this that the two aces, the Zixiao Thunder Army and the Fire Crow Army, had to serve as escorts for the Immortal Thunder Flying Boat Fleet. There is no way, the commander-in-chief and the generals are here, how can they not protect him
However, for Song Zhong, after the Thunder Divine Boat was requisitioned, it was not good news. Because there were not just one or two people on board, but thousands of people!
Although the Thunder God Boat is very large, there is no problem at all in placing these people. But the problem is that the people who come are at least Jinxian-level generals. Song Zhong can't starve others, right? And their identities cannot be taken casually, right? Every meal had to be served with a banquet, and it was of a high-end kind. Coupled with the usual fairy tea and fairy fruit, the food and drink for three meals a day was a waste.
Song Zhong's face turned a little green after eating. Fortunately, his current financial resources were really rich, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt after eating this month!
Taibai Jinxian and Huode Xingjun seemed to have taken a liking to Song Zhong's Thunder God Boat, and they were running against Song Zhong all day long. There are only two purposes, either give us this Thunder God Boat, or get me a better one!
In fact, generally speaking, as Ether Platinum Immortal and Huode Xingjun, they disdain to ask for things from their subordinates. But Song Zhong was different. They all regarded Song Zhong as their confidant and their nephew, so they spoke without any scruples. If it were someone else, even if he gave them the flying boat for free, they wouldn't want it! Because that will ruin your reputation!
Song Zhong naturally knew the truth behind this, so after chatting with them for more than ten days, he half-heartedly agreed to give each of them an 8,000-foot flying boat. And it is specially customized for them, ensuring that only one ship will be made. It will be the only one in the entire fairy world, and there will definitely be no second ship that is the same. !
