As the grey and white sword qi fell, the generals stationed on the shore saw a gigantic snake demon with eight heads and eight positions, eyes as bright red as red sour sauce, and the snake’s head still seemed to smell fishy when it swooped down.
“Defend, form up, defend!”
A general shouted loudly, and the defending soldiers condensed into the shadow of a giant, raising their hands to cut out the mountain-like swords and clash with the sword qi.
In the world of high martial arts, the formation of a soldier bane was the safeguard of a large army. It could weaken and even defend against the attacks of martial artists, and even attacks from the Tong Shen realm could be effectively weakened.
Otherwise, if two Tong Shen realm powerhouses fought over the battlefield, even if one of them won, their soldiers would be almost dead.
If no protection existed, then there would be no need to form an army and just let the two sides win or lose.
However, after reaching a certain strength, even a soldier-defying army formation may not be possible. Especially if Oda Nobunaga still had the Heavenly Clouds Sword in his hands.
“Can it be blocked?”
Oda Nobunaga revealed a fierce smile as the shadow of the Orochi Orochi completely condensed and took shape.
The next moment, the dike collapsed, the archery tower broke down, and the soldiers near the shore were torn to pieces by countless sword qi that looked like sharp teeth, as if they had been devoured by a snake.
“March!”
Oda Nobunaga stood in the sky, raising his sword and shouting.
Countless figures fell from the ships and trod the waves of the sea, racing swiftly towards the shores of the East China Sea.
The war had begun.
It may come as a surprise to some that the war was not started by the Southern Border, nor because of the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, but because of the East China Sea overseas.
“Kill!”
As the following garrison advanced, the charging army of the East approached in the same way, and the battle was at its most violent from the very beginning.
In the sky, Oda Nobunaga’s eyes flashed with a fierce battle intent, and his Heavenly Cloud Sword moved again, his fierce aura bringing back the shadow of the Orochi Snake.
Obviously, as an invader, there is no unspoken rule in the East that the Godlike realm should not be touched lightly, and Oda Nobunaga, who loves to kill, will not stop himself.
“Stop!”
A fierce sword aura swept across the sky, and a strong aura of war filled the sky.
The Fiery Dao Warfire Duel, and the Tong Shen realm of the Jiang family also struck.
After seeing Nobunaga Oda’s fierce sword strike, the Jiang family did not dare to let Nobunaga Oda do what he wanted. If he were to let go of his sword, all the troops on this coast would die at Nobunaga’s hands.
“Your opponent, is me.”
Another sword light lit up, and Yanagi Soyeon, dressed in a short black kimono, appeared like a raven before the sword’s aura, sheathing his taijutsu.
“One blade, two cuts.”
The swordsmanship of Eastern Japan, competing with the swordsmanship of the Middle Kingdom, had a crystalline beauty as the piercing swordsmanship shattered in the air like countless ice crystals.
“Die.”
As Yanagi Soyan blocked it, Oda Nobunaga’s sword qi fell again, and again, at least hundreds of people died under this sword.
“Eh a soo, tako kikiri!”
The easterners below took advantage of this and attacked wildly, shouting “a*sault”, killing nearly a hundred men in the blink of an eye.
“Shameless villains!”
Three distinctly powerful auras reappeared from behind, with three Jiang Family’s Tong Shen realms coming through the air and joining the battlefield.
The Jiang Family, as the earth emperor of Eastern State, had been dominating this land for countless years, and in terms of their heritage, they were afraid that they were deeper than even the imperial family, and if they wanted to fight their way into Eastern State, Eastern Ying was afraid that they would have to fight a hard battle.
Even more so, if there were no supreme powerhouse to join the battlefield, there was still the risk of the Eastern Ying army being counter-attacked.
————————
Qingzhou, King Zhenshan’s residence.
After ceding his land and becoming king, King Zhenshan and the Southern Frontier became completely one. He himself has the bloodline of the Southern Border’s witch tribe and has also trained his battle body since he was a child, making him one of the Southern Border’s own through and through.
Because of King Zhenshan’s mediation, the people of the Central Plains in Qingzhou and the Southern Border were able to integrate smoothly. After decades of subtle integration before they became kings, the integration accelerated afterwards, and the people of Qingzhou were so thoroughly integrated into the southern frontier that, with the exception of some of the older people, all were no longer of Chinese origin.
As the great sage of Confucianism said, “Those who are barbarians but Chinese, are Chinese; those who are Chinese but barbarians, are barbarians.”
Qingzhou was already a*similated by the Southern Border, which was very successful in its study of the people of the Middle Kingdom.
At this moment, Zhang Huchen, the king of Qingzhou, who was standing respectfully behind an old man, said, “Great Witch Priest, our clan’s advance on the Great Qian is increasing day by day, but the Great Qian side has never shown any signs of counter-attack.
Zhang Huchen had been a Qian minister for decades, and even though he had a long history of evil intentions, he still had a deep understanding of the Great Qian.
He was not like the young emperor who had his hands tied, but at his word, no one in Great Qian dared to disobey.
The fact that Great Qian is not moving now may be for a greater purpose.
“It’s not normal,” said the Great Witch Priest, “I met that youngster, Mu Cang Sheng, three hundred years ago. At that time, Ji Mu Qing was on his own expedition, and Mu Cansheng was accompanying him.
That was a man who was extremely similar to Ji Muqing, he would not have the idea of compromising and seeking peace, only the idea of forcefully suppressing. Now that he is not moving, there must be a big surprise waiting for old me.”
“Then ——” Zhang Huchen said hesitantly, “Grand Witch Priest, how should we act?”
Although he was also a famous general of his generation, and now he had even cracked the earth to become a king, he was still too young compared to this Great Witch Priest who had lived for more than eight hundred years.
Other than that, in terms of vision alone, Zhang Huchen asked himself that he was far inferior to the Great Witch Priest.
Some people become more and more confused with age, while others become more and more astute with age, and the Great Witch Priest clearly belongs to the latter category. The wisdom that comes with age has always allowed the Great Witch Priest to guide the way forward for the Southern Border.
“Mu Cang Sheng has a backhand, so do we,” the Great Witch Priest waved his hand, “When the time is right, we can give Mu Cang Sheng an equally big surprise.”
Zhang Huchen was a little tempted to ask when the time would be right, but after thinking about it, he didn’t say much after all.
At that moment, a bright light appeared in the Great Witch Priest’s sleeve.
When the light appeared, a smile appeared on the ancient face of the Great Witch Priest as he turned back to Zhang Huchen and said, “The time has come.”
“What time is it?” Zhang Huchen was a little puzzled.
“At this time, the army of the Eastern Empire has already logged on at the shores of the East China Sea and is fighting with the Jiang family led by the Eastern Zhou family. At this time, it is time for my southern border to attack and add to the woes of the Great Qian.
The two sides are attacking, and Ji Chengtian of Hou Qian will not let go of such a good opportunity. In this way, the East, the South and the North will be attacked from three sides, and Great Qian will be in danger.”
In just a few words, the alarming picture of the Great Qian was revealed. It seems that the Great Witch Priest has been in contact with the East for a long time, and he has been waiting for this opportunity.
Once the three-sided attack was completed, Great Qian would be in a situation where it would be in danger, as the Great Witch Priest had said, the Great Qian would be in danger of being destroyed.
