After hearing this, most of the monks were excited, as this was a great opportunity to achieve great things. However, some monks were filled with worry, as they didn't know how many monks would die in this war.
Every monk looks at the problem from a different perspective, but the common point is that they have no other choice but to participate in this war, where the fittest will survive and it will depend on who can survive.
Zhao Qiankun looked at Jiang Qingshu and ordered, "Qingshu, organize them into forty teams, get the sea map, and follow me to take over the demon tribe's territory first, and then advance slowly."
It is not difficult to occupy an island, but the difficult part is to prevent the monsters from counterattacking.
Jiang Qingshu responded, flew into the air, took out a thick blue account book, and began to call the roll.
Thousands of monks gathered at the Bluestone Square. Of course, it was impossible for all of them to go to the front line to fight with the monsters. Monks with higher cultivation and stronger strength were recruited to go to the front line to fight with the monsters, while monks with weaker strength stayed in the rear to be responsible for logistics. After all, farming, patrolling the island, and mining require low-level monks to do.
There are forty teams, each of which is led by a Nascent Soul cultivator. Each team has thirty Jindan cultivators, and the remaining cultivators either manage logistics or serve as reserve teams.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Han Zhangxiang and four others were assigned to Han Chaoyang’s command.
After the teams were divided, Jiang Qingshu gave each person a sea chart. Each team was responsible for attacking a different island.
Baisha Sanren, Du Yan, and Qi Yunxiu were all in Han Chaoyang's team. Du Yan and Qi Yunxiu felt very regretful. They originally wanted to listen to Zhao Qiankun's preaching, but they didn't expect to be recruited to deal with the demon clan.
If even they don't know about it, it's even more impossible for the demon clan to know about it.
Fairy Hanyue and Taoist Zifeng looked at each other and frowned.
They never expected that they would actually attack the demon tribe. Would Jiao Yan expose their identities on the spot? If they were perfunctory and passive, would Zhao Qiankun blame them? If they fought bravely and caused heavy damage to the demon tribe, would Jiao Yan be angry and destroy their imprisoned souls
Even if they took the Nine Revolutions Soul-Replenishing Pill, their damaged souls could not be repaired. After all, Jiao Yan had detained one third of their souls, which could not be restored by a few Nine Revolutions Soul-Replenishing Pills. If it were that easy, the forbidden soul technique would not have such a great deterrent effect.
The forty teams gathered together to discuss how to capture the target.
Each team was responsible for capturing a dozen islands and then advancing slowly, but they did not know much about the situation of these islands.
The demon clan is different from the human clan. Most of the islands controlled by the demon clan are occupied by big demons. Those with good luck can cultivate into human form, while those with bad luck will die. There are also monsters patrolling the sea around the islands, so it is very difficult to investigate the situation of the demon clan.
Han Chaoyang's team is going to capture fifteen islands. He plans to concentrate his superior forces to capture a large island first, then set up a formation for defense, and use this as a basis to slowly advance.
"I'm Han Chaoyang from Jinjiao Island. Our Han family is good at repelling insects and controlling beasts. We have many ways to deal with monsters. Please tell me about your respective skills and specialties! This way I can arrange the tasks."
Han Chaoyang said in a deep voice that he wanted to understand his subordinates' abilities and specialties and get to know them better.
Every cultivator has his own little plans. Some cultivators want to hide their incompetence and are unwilling to talk about their specialties or are secretive; some cultivators want to be in the spotlight and exaggerate their abilities.
"I am proficient in weapon refining and have two third-level puppet beasts. It is not a problem to entangle two third-level monster beasts. If it is a third-level monster bird, it will be difficult to deal with it."
Han Changying said that she was not fighting alone, and that Han Zhangxiang and others were assisting her.
Given their relationship with Han Chaoyang, Han Chaoyang should not make things difficult for them, and there is no need for Han Chaoyang to hide anything. Han Chaoyang should be aware of her situation, after all, the two families have frequent interactions.
Han Zhangxiang and the other four also talked about their specialties one after another. With their cooperation, Baisha Sanren and others also talked about their specialties one after another.
There are two third-level alchemists in their team, namely Han Benfu and Qi Yunjiao.
Qi Yunjiao is Qi Yunxiu's cousin, in the middle stage of Jindan, and a third-rank alchemist.
Han Changwu is a talisman maker, and Han Wenbin knows more about battle formations.
"For the convenience of management, I will divide our team into three groups of ten people each."
Han Chaoyang divided his men into three groups. Han Wenbin, Han Wenyue, Han Linsheng, Han Zhangxiang, Han Changying, Han Changwu, Han Benfu, Han Benyong, Baisha Sanren and Sun Li were in one group, with Han Linsheng as the team leader, and Du Yan and Qi Yunxiu as the team leaders of the other two groups.
The island they were going to attack was the Golden Toad Island, which was named after the large number of golden toad beasts living near the island. There were fourth-order monsters on the Golden Toad Island, but it was unknown what kind of monsters they were and what their magical powers were. After all, there had not been a major war between humans and monsters for many years.
Over the past hundred years, two large-scale beast tides broke out in the jurisdiction of the Righteous Alliance. These were local conflicts that took place on the territory of the Righteous Alliance. Now, they are going to attack the island controlled by the demon clan.
There is a fourth-level spiritual vein on Jinchan Island. There may be one fourth-level monster, or two fourth-level monsters, or even more. Everything is possible.
They discussed for most of the day and came up with three plans.
After the discussion, Han Chaoyang consulted with other Nascent Soul cultivators to discuss how to cooperate with each other. After all, they were not fighting alone, and the various teams still needed to cooperate with each other.
Two days passed quickly.
The cultivators in the same team were quite familiar with each other. The Nascent Soul cultivator entered the Haoran Hall to report to Zhao Qiankun, while Han Zhangxiang and others stayed outside. They sat cross-legged on the cushions and chatted.
"Fairy Han, why didn't your father come over?"
Du Yan asked curiously.
"My father is in seclusion to strive for the Nascent Soul stage, and he will not show up in the short term."
Han Benfu explained seriously and patiently.
She had forgotten which Jindan cultivator had inquired about Han Changming's recent situation. There was no way. As a disciple of Lingxiao Zhenren and ranked 25th on the Potential Dragon List, Han Changming was well-known.
Du Yan suddenly understood and nodded, "I see. It would be great if your father was also in our team. High-level monsters are not easy to deal with. They have thick skin and flesh and are difficult to kill. With Fellow Daoist Han here, our injuries can be treated in time."
If there is an alchemist with a high level of alchemy skills, injuries can be treated in time and the survival rate is higher.
"Fellow Daoist Du, our team has two third-level alchemists. Fairy Han is Fellow Daoist Han's daughter. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good daughter. I believe in Fairy Han's alchemy skills."
Han Linsheng said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Du. I can refine a mid-grade elixir. I can still cure common injuries."
Han Benfu was full of confidence. This was her chance to show off. She wanted to prove to everyone that a good father will have a good daughter. Han Changming's alchemy skills were indeed impressive, but she was not bad either.
"Fairy Han is able to refine a mid-grade elixir? It's true that a tiger father will have a dog daughter."
Qi Yunjiao was surprised. Mid-grade elixirs are in short supply in the open sea, especially those for healing.
The war is imminent, and there is a medium-grade healing elixir that can save your life at the critical moment.
Qi Yunjiao is a third-rank alchemist, but she is unable to refine the mid-grade elixirs that Jindan cultivators take.
"Big sister has been learning the art of alchemy from dad, and Ling Xiao Zhenren has also taught big sister. It's not surprising that big sister can refine a mid-grade elixir."
Han Benyong's face was filled with pride.
Du Yan nodded. Ling Xiao Zhenren was Han Benfu's master, so it was not surprising that he taught Han Benfu how to make pills.
At this time, Ling Xiao Zhenren and others walked out of Haoran Palace, their faces looking solemn.
Zhao Qiankun distributed a sum of immortal cultivation resources, including fourth-order formations, magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. War is the most expensive thing, and before the war even started, the Righteous Alliance had already taken out immortal cultivation resources worth tens of millions of spirit stones.
Han Chaoyang received a set of fourth-level formations and thirty bottles of Yunyuan Pills. Yunyuan Pills can be used to heal wounds, but they are just ordinary Yunyuan Pills. These things alone are worth more than one million spirit stones.
Yunyuan Dan is distributed to Jindan cultivators, and the fourth-level formation is given to the entire team. If Han Chaoyang makes meritorious contributions, he can get rewards, and there will also be pensions if he dies in battle.
Han Zhangxiang and others quickly stood up and looked towards Haoran Palace.
Zhao Qiankun strode out with a serious expression.
"After receiving the resources for cultivating immortality, follow me and conquer the demon race."
Zhao Qiankun's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the bluestone square.
"Yes, Senior Zhao."
All the monks spoke in unison, their voices echoing in the square.
Zhao Qiankun raised his hand and a green light flew out. It turned out to be a scroll with green light flowing constantly. On the scroll was a lifelike green giant eagle, flying high with its wings spread, soaring in the sea of clouds. There was a line of small words on it - Picture of an Eagle Spreading Its Wings.
Judging from the amazing fluctuations of spiritual energy it exudes, it is obviously a flying spiritual treasure.
He made a hand gesture and the giant green eagle on the surface of the eagle spreading its wings let out a sharp eagle cry. The green scroll suddenly expanded to a size of a thousand feet and floated above the bluestone square.
Zhao Qiankun's figure flashed and suddenly appeared on the picture of an eagle spreading its wings.
"Everyone, come up! Use this treasure to travel faster and kill the demons by surprise."
Zhao Qiankun ordered that in order to maintain secrecy, before the war started, thousands of high-level monks were left here and unable to communicate with the outside world. The outside world thought they were listening to Zhao Qiankun's preaching.
"Yes, Senior Zhao."
Han Chaoyang and other cultivators flew to the picture of the eagle spreading its wings one after another. There were more than one thousand high-level cultivators in total, with the lowest level being in the early stage of Jindan and the highest being in the stage of Huashen.
"Set off!"
Along with a low shout from Zhao Qiankun, the image of an eagle spreading its wings turned into a long green rainbow and flew towards the sky, and the light curtain covering the square dissipated.
Not long after, Zhao Qiankun and others disappeared into the horizon.
Jiang Qingshu stayed in Haoran City and was responsible for logistics management.
"You stay here first, and then go back to transport the resources for cultivation after a while."
Jiang Qingshu ordered that according to the plan, after Zhao Qiankun and others had fought with the demon clan, these cultivators would go back to transport the resources for cultivation, mainly to prevent anyone from informing the demon clan.
"Yes, Brother Jiang (Senior Jiang)."
All the monks agreed in unison.
