It was a pity that the old demon from Montenegro seemed not to notice that the portal was destroyed. He acted like a coward and didn't even make a sound.
But how is this possible? Zhong Yu could clearly feel the aura of the Black Mountain Demon on the portal, and there was even a little bit of the Black Mountain Demon's spiritual thoughts attached to it.
Now that the portal has been destroyed, the old demon from Montenegro must have known the news, but why didn't he take action? Zhong Yu estimated that the war in the underworld had reached an extremely critical stage. The old Black Mountain demon couldn't get away and did not dare to leave at all. He should put all his energy into the duel with Emperor Fengdu!
In any case, Zhong Yu is quite happy that the hidden dangers in the Ming Dynasty have been eliminated, which means that his territory will be completely stable in the future.
However, looking at the layout of the Black Mountain Old Demon, other empires should have such a portal in each country. Zhong Yu has some guesses about where exactly it is.
However, he has no plans to say it out loud. After taking care of his own affairs, he can just quietly make a fortune and gradually accumulate strength.
As for the hidden dangers in other countries, Zhong Yu also plans to wait for the old monster of Montenegro to free up his hands, and then deal harshly to those countries, so that he can have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of them
After all, no matter how you look at it, Zhong Yu's current strength is still too weak compared to other countries on the mainland, even the weakest among these countries cannot compare.
Even the Ming Dynasty, which was now torn to pieces and could only survive, could not deal with it.
Now that Zhong Yu can leisurely devour the Ming Dynasty's territory here, it is all because the Jin Empire held back the Ming Dynasty's hands and feet, making it impossible for him to stretch out his hands to deal with his little grasshopper.
In short, no matter what, half a month after killing the tree demon grandma, Zhong Yu confirmed that there would be no more troubles in Lanruo Temple and there would be no more danger.
Finally, it was decided to break out of camp and continue to attack the remaining state capitals in the south of northern Jiangxi Province.
After all, although eliminating hidden dangers is important, conquering the territory cannot be ignored, and it is even more important now.
Although South Korea in the south of Northern Jiangxi Province was entangled by the Tang Empire, and its frontiers were constantly invaded by the Tang Empire's army, it was in a state of distress and could not move away at all.
But who can guarantee that South Korea will not send a partial army to take advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty to get a share of the pie.
Not much. This partial army only needs 30,000 people, plus a sixth-level commander, to subdue the Ming army officials who have uneasy hearts and the whole province is full of confusion, and completely swallow up Northern Jiangxi Province.
Therefore, Zhong Yu is still very important about the ownership and situation of the remaining three state capitals in the south. He is afraid that if one of them fails, South Korea in the south will take the lead and seize the opportunity.
When these state capitals are garrisoned by South Korean troops, whether or not to send troops to recapture them is still a very serious issue that deserves Zhong Yu's careful consideration.
After all, although it seems now, there is no strong threat around Zhong Yu. The Ming Dynasty in the north was already half disabled, and was still being bullied by the Jin Dynasty. It had no energy to deal with his rebellious nature.
In the south, South Korea and Wei were also facing war. Although the situation was much better than that of the Ming Dynasty, facing the huge military power of the Tang Empire, they did not have the extra power to annex the gap left by the Ming Dynasty.
But this is only theoretical.
The entire country of Korea has millions of troops. These are standing armies. On this continent that never goes to war, every country has an extremely large number of regular troops to protect their country from being bullied and annexed by other countries, and Used for expansion.
600,000 of Korea's million-strong army are in southern Xinjiang to resist the Tang Empire's attack. It is also a place where experts gather. There are 15 sixth-level players in Korea, and 4 seventh-level players are stationed here all year round. This is already close to 70% of the strength of Korean masters.
In order to gather this combat power, among the 23 provinces in Korea, the 12 safe provinces in the interior do not have any combat power above level 6. They are all weak chickens at the peak of level 5 serving as governors to guard one side.
As for the eighth-level Dahan, he has been stationed in the imperial capital all year round and has not seen action for hundreds of years. No one knows whether he is dead or alive.
But even so, no one dares to risk death to test the existence of this strong man.
Fortunately, it seems that the war between South Korea and the Tang Empire is really urgent and no extra power can be spared.
It also seemed that Korea had no intention of competing for the territory of the Ming Dynasty. During the entire process of Zhong Yu's attack on Northern Jiangxi Province, no one from Korea's border troops was dispatched at all. They all huddled in the border cities of Daxing, acting as A shrunken turtle.
So after Zhong Yu solved the danger in Lanruo Temple, the destruction of the tree demon quickly spread throughout northern Jiangxi Province as the army set off.
With the power of destroying the tree demon, Zhong Yu directly forced the governor of northern Jiangxi Province to surrender, and asked him to surrender with all 70,000 border troops in the province, causing Zhong Yu's strength to skyrocket again.
You know, the troops in northern Jiangxi Province are all frontier troops. Although they have not seen war for many years and are much more comfortable, the training they should have has not fallen behind at all, and they have reached the quality and strength that a regular army should have.
Coupled with the addition of a sixth-level governor, who is still in the middle of the sixth level, and is not considered a weakling, Zhong Yu can be said to have gained some strength for nothing, and his foundation has become deeper and deeper.
And after the trip to Lanruo Temple, as one of the protagonists in this plot, Yan Chixia didn't know whether it was because of her love for destroying the tree demon, or because of the shock and attraction of Zhong Yu's true sun fire, or because of the Qingming rule of the officials under Zhong Yu's rule. gained his admiration.
After Yan Chixia eliminated the tree demon grandma, she formally made a request of allegiance to Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu happily accepted it.
Just by walking around in northern Jiangxi Province, Zhong Yu received about 100,000 surrendered troops, plus two sixth-level recruits. His strength almost increased by more than 1/10, which can be said to be a great increase in power.
Just after the entire province of Northern Jiangxi surrendered, Zhong Yu's next target, Western Jiangxi Province, was in despair and had not received instructions from the Ming court for a long time. The governor and governor were discouraged and the entire province surrendered.
Similarly, several other front lines sent by Zhong Yu also reported frequent successes.
With his own camp also having a sixth level, and with a larger number, the defenders from various places in the Ming Dynasty could not stop them at all, especially in this situation where people were distracted.
Not long after, the six southern provinces were all conquered by Zhong Yu's Yuguo army within three months, and were completely integrated into the Yuguo territory, shocking the surrounding countries.
Among these six provinces, except for one province, the governor did not open his eyes, and his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty reached an extreme level, and he fought to the death.
As a result, he was besieged by three sixth-order people from Zhong Yu's side and died unexpectedly. Immediately afterwards, the province was also pacified.
In this time of the conquest of the six southern provinces, in addition to the surrender of the governors of the five provinces and the surrender of Yan Chixia, there were also three wandering strong men from various places and the masters of the local sects, which greatly enriched Zhong's life. Yu's reserve of masters of level 6 and above.
At the same time, during the expedition, two more sixth-level warriors were born in the four eastern provinces. Feeling Zhong Yu's righteous deeds and strength, they joined Yu's camp.
At this moment, Zhong Yu's empire, plus the strong men he had trained, already had 23 sixth-level experts. Zhong Yu also broke through to the seventh level in the process of conquering the six southern provinces, and completely had his own masters. foundation.
When the 23 sixth-level figures were put on the table, everyone knew that a new empire was about to rise. The only thing missing was an eighth-level peerless strongman suppressing luck.
