Chapter 785 Reasons for Fighting

Before the battle, late at night.

Zhang Xu was wearing the best armor, and the spear in his hand had been replaced with the strongest magic weapon he could control.

There was only a faint firelight beside him. All the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp had eaten and drunk enough, but no one drank.

"Brothers, have you received the pensions?" Zhang Xu said to many soldiers.

The soldiers nodded.

"Have you received the rewards for your children and wives?" he asked again.

"Three hundred gold, one hundred acres of land, and the documents of the hereditary civil servants have all been sent back." One of the soldiers answered.

"You dare to say that this is a hereditary position? I thought you were conferred a title!" Zhang Xu laughed and scolded.

The soldiers also laughed. Although they knew that this was nothing to the big guys, it could indeed be passed down from generation to generation. They had their own experience. In many places, there were old officials who had been entrenched in a certain place for many years. The relationship in the local area was so complicated that they almost formed a family.

Although it is not presentable, it is hereditary, and there is no problem at all.

After laughing, Zhang Xu looked at the thousands of people in front of him and continued: "Then you know, right? Whether it is the land just awarded or the position that can be passed down from generation to generation, there must be a premise for it to exist."

"That is... Dalu Kingdom is still there."

This made many soldiers silent.

"This country is still there, our land and positions are still there. If it is broken by humanity, everyone has seen what happened to Song Kingdom." Zhang Xu pointed outside.

What happened to Song Kingdom?

You can see it at a glance.

There is no burial after death, and no one survives.

Humanity has no mercy at all. To humanity, this is just slaughtering chickens and dogs. Only a few "people" who have found their own way can be looked up to, and such people are unlikely to join humanity.

People who really have this kind of mentality, most of them have their own persistence, and they are ready to die for this, and will never easily compromise for the sake of survival.

As mentioned before.

People recognized by humanity will not give in easily.

Humanity generally despises those who surrender easily.

But if there are like-minded people, humanity will gladly accept them and regard them as part of itself, and work together to build a human world.

But this kind of struggle... is a disaster for people like Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu's morale mobilization did not last too long, but everyone could understand what he was saying.

Zhang Xu chewed a piece of jerky in his mouth, and other soldiers were also eating various things, all of which were the best military supplies, which were not available at ordinary times.

Looking at them, Zhang Xu reminded: "This is the last meal, don't eat too much, you can't run fast."

The soldiers nodded one after another, but they didn't stop talking.

When everything was over, everyone was dressed up and went into battle. The weapons and armor were unprecedentedly elite. They didn't have such good treatment before.

"Everyone, get ready." Zhang Xu said, and then ordered the flag officer to raise the military flag.

The moment the military flag was raised, the momentum of the entire army changed!

Following the guidance of the military flag, everyone's aura was connected, and a collective military aura Dharma image rose up, which was the gathering of all the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp.

That Dharma image was a faceless man, without a face, but covered in armor and holding a spear, dressed like the most ordinary vanguard soldier.

"It's midnight, let's go!" Zhang Xu ordered.

The Xianzhen Camp was dispatched immediately!

At the same time, there were sixteen other armies that also rushed out!

Seventeen, the number of people in these armies varied, with only a few thousand and tens of thousands, but together there were hundreds of thousands of people.

The night was unexpectedly dark, and the light emitted by the Dharma image illuminated some places, but the places outside could only see darkness.

However, it was not dark soon.

Above the sky, the Tiangong arrays that were patrolling low in the Gangfeng layer immediately detected the actions here and started directly!

Everyone could clearly see that many sets of glittering magic weapons were passing through the sky.

These spherical "heavenly palaces" strode through the thundering and lightning-filled gale layer. Some scouts with good eyesight could even vaguely see the multi-sectioned amulets hanging on them, which clattered and clanged when they collided.

The lightning in the gale layer collided with these heavenly palaces, making a clanging noise, interweaving with the noisy thunder, one after another.

Then, there was a flash of light.

The flash suddenly appeared, disappeared in a flash, and appeared almost at the same time as the next flash of light.

Yes, the next one, because... what followed was countless flashes, one after another, one after another, all these lights connected together, almost illuminating the sky into daylight!

The lights were the culprits for the creation of the magma lake across the country.

This was the impression many soldiers got in the fleeting lightning.

In the dark night, the bright white flashes intertwined together to form a black and white picture.

Lightning flashed and flickered, the bright light was dazzling, and the dark shadows were so thick that it was all blurred.

After the thunder and lightning, the night sky was clear, the earth was burning, and the smoke was curling. Through the smoke, the tiny heavenly palaces like needles began to turn white. These spheres... seemed to be affected by something, and they fell into the sky one after another, falling with the white light they ejected, falling, and turning into meteors.

The Seventh Ranks took action.

Hundreds of seventh-grade masters set out, and Dharma images rose up one by one to intercept the Heavenly Palace!

A large number of Heavenly Palaces were directly shot down, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and various magics, and the sky became like a painting.

There were various magics, Dharma images, thunder, Heavenly Palaces, and falling white light on the painting.

If time was frozen at this moment, it would definitely be a beautiful work of art.

Unfortunately, time will not be frozen.

The light of the Heavenly Palace began to fall to the ground.

Although 99% of it had been intercepted, the sporadic ones still broke through the interception net and fell to the ground.

The entire field in the direction of Songguo's charge was flashed by white light, and the energy burst out. The whole land seemed to be burning - the vast mountainside spewed countless tiny flames, swaying and wriggling with bursts of lightning that had become a spent force, reflecting the red clouds running in the sky.

The fire, accompanied by meteors, the palace fell, and bursts of impacts, and from time to time a cloud of smoke rose, passing from the horizon, covering the shadows of the Dharma images in the sky.

Zhang Xu led the army to charge, and he was trying his best to observe everything around him, but the overly gorgeous battlefield environment made it impossible for him to see more clearly. He couldn't even find where the enemy was, nor could he recognize what his enemy was doing.

He could only see that the falling palaces in the sky seemed to be intentionally controlling the landing point, constantly blocking their sight.

The night seemed to become deeper, and even the fire burning nearby could not be seen. Although the flames danced gorgeously in the sky and formed a gorgeous pattern with the Dharma images, at this critical moment, they could no longer appreciate it. They could only bury their heads, avoid the explosions and falling palaces around them, and move towards the target as much as possible.

Three thousand miles!

Their strategic goal is three thousand miles away!

So, they can't stop for a moment!

The air was filled with a strong smell of burning, and the breath of death began to fill the battlefield.

But this was just the beginning.

According to Zhang Xu's estimation, their marching speed, in a state of rapid march, could reach about 400 miles a day.

In other words, it would take them at least more than seven days to reach the destination.

Three thousand miles, a distance that can be reached in an instant for the powerful, is so difficult for them to walk.

However... it is precisely because they are difficult to walk that they can finish the journey.

Because, if you look closely, you can find that outside the Heavenly Palace where those seventh-grade people raised their hands to intercept, outside the layer of strong wind, there is another battlefield!

Through the narrow gap between the strong wind and the black clouds, through the storm that obscures the view, to a higher sky, under the dome, the view is suddenly wide, you can easily see the houses of the Great Deer Kingdom from afar, and even pay attention to the scorched pine forest on the battlefield.

If you don't look down, look up, you can see many bright lights on the dark night.

These bright lights are colorful and confusing. There are many bright flames in the dark night, as if they have burned several holes in the night sky.

In the distance, you can see ruins, debris, and a large number of burning and exploding spells. You can vaguely see the light showing three centers, but it is not very clear.

But what makes people feel more mysterious is... It is obviously in the very high sky, but between the three centers, there are actually stretches of fields in a winding way.

It is a dark land, dotted with glimmering lights and smoky land. They seem to be fighting on this land floating in the sky, but they can't see what it is at all.

But this is only the perspective of the seventh-grade.

If you expand the observation range, you can see that outside the Gangfeng layer, there is actually a more magnificent Dharma image standing outside the sky! This Dharma image is large enough to cover everything around it. It is the main body of the "black wilderness".

And all the battles take place on the black wilderness.

The 'black wilderness' is a Dharma image that can strengthen friendly forces and suppress enemies. Inside the black wilderness, there are two centers, that is, two other fifth-grades are fighting fiercely! But even the seventh-grade cannot see this kind of battle. If you just feel the breath, you can feel the overwhelming pressure from the fifth-grade!

From top to bottom, from the fifth to the ninth grade, people of each class have their own battlefield.

And the smaller the place, the easier it is to become a breakthrough.

This is also the reason why Wushen Mountain regards the 17 soldiers below as an opportunity.

However... it is not all like this.

Ninth grade, eighth grade, seventh grade, and even sixth grade, a full million people received the same order. Wushen Mountain arranged various different forces to break through. They all shoulder the same responsibility, that is, to activate the grand sacrifice node and fully launch the grand sacrifice.

This is a war between humans and witches, not a small fight.

However, Zhang Xu does not know the full picture of the battlefield, nor does he know anything else.

He only knows one thing now.

That is to use all your strength to rush out of this area, rush to the strategic target, and complete the mission.

"Lieutenant! There are people ahead!" The scout screamed loudly, using magic to transmit information.

"Who is it? Can you confirm it?" Zhang Xu was very calm and did not shout.

"There is a military flag, it is human!" The scout said after confirming it.

"So fast? Aren't they still in Zhennan Prefecture? They are sent here now? It's terrible... prepare for battle!" Zhang Xu waved his hand immediately.

The army quickly obeyed the order, and each type of soldiers began to line up.

Various military flags and magic weapons were released in advance, suppressing their power. Long-range firepower and close combat were ready in advance.

On the human side, the human side had also discovered the army closest to them.

The human army immediately deployed their formations, and as soon as the military flags were raised, the soldiers were full of vigor.

Just a glance, Zhang Xu immediately realized...

It was not an opponent.

It was impossible to be an opponent!

On the human side, the spears were ignited, the horses were shaken by thunder, and there were sets of standard magic weapons. The popularity was simply outrageous, and they were basically used as consumables.

Even the mustard bag was in everyone's hands, and the various magic weapons stored in it were recorded in the warehouse, and it was no problem to use it for self-explosion.

Zhang Xu and others had already upgraded their guns and cannons, and the equipment they wore was already very powerful, but compared with the human side, both the quantity and quality were inferior.

However, if it was just the advantage in equipment, Zhang Xu felt that he could still fight.

It's not like he hasn't fought well-equipped enemies before. No matter how good the equipment is, it still needs people to use it. And to be honest, it's not much better, because the upper limit of the cultivation level has determined the upper limit of the equipment. If the cultivation level is not good, the equipment is too good and can't be used. It takes a lot of energy and mana to activate the magic weapon.

If you want to exert the power of the magic weapon, you have to match the nature of the magic weapon, and there must be a limit to the magic weapon that a person can "synchronize". More is useless, and more is useless.

And simply using it for self-destruction is not only a waste, but also not necessarily powerful. Magic weapons are not born for self-destruction. The power of many magic weapons is much greater than self-destruction.

It's like a bullet. If the bullet is fired smoothly, it will definitely be more powerful than if it is smashed with a hammer on the spot.

So, the equipment advantage can be overcome.

But... what can't be overcome is the quality of the enemy.

In terms of cultivation, everyone is about the same, mainly eighth-rank officers and ninth-rank soldiers.

However, the military formation is solemn and the morale is high.

Judging from the intensity of their military spirit, their collective strength far exceeds that of Zhang Xu's soldiers. Although both sides have similar cultivation, the strength they show when forming a military formation is twice as high as Zhang Xu's!

Where does this difference come from! ? Is his loss so great?

Then, the speed of deploying the military formation is 70% faster than his.

If they collide head-on with an opponent of this level, they will probably be killed directly.

Then they have to change their fighting style.

"Disperse!" Zhang Xu raised the flag.

The soldiers under his command immediately dispersed, and the formation was completely broken, but the military spirit did not break!
