Zhenhai Army’s Jiang Ming completely beca subordinate to these two armies.
Due to Zhao Xing’s presence, many armies were willing to cooperate at Sacrificial Soul Pass, including the original Huan You Army, Yuanhua Army, Danxia Army, Tiger Flood Dragon Army... However, Zhao Xing did not agree.
Firstly, at this ti, Lao Liu had just taken office, his position was not yet secure, and Prince Liang’s Faction was watching Liu Tianning, with so wanting to suppress him and others wanting to win him over; the situation was complex.
As his disciple, it was not the ti to exploit Lao Liu’s na for profit, nor to be exploited.
Secondly, after the Ten-Day Sky Event, Zhao Xing had beco much more honest and was unwilling to stand out anymore.
If he were pushed to a position he should not have, it would be difficult to step down later!
...
At the end of October, the three armies, having completed reorganization, began to march towards the Qinggang Mine Area to attack cities and pull down fortresses.
By the end of November, they had seized sixteen cities including spirit turtle city and Gui Ze City.
Reopening the Pacifying Barbarian Battle rit List, Zhao Xing had already entered the sixth-grade list.
After November, Zhao Xing entered the top ten thousand.
...
At the beginning of December, the three armies continued to advance, while Zhao Xing was in charge of the supply for over 200,000 people at the rear supply city and maintaining the supply lines.
Due to a ceasefire of over half a year, the Fire Demon Clan’s defenses had been re-established.
The old rival, Lord of Netherworld Soul, having fled from the spirit turtle city, had been dismissed, and the new ’Lord Huoyu,’ a mber of the royal family of Golden Feather Royal Court, had arrived.
Xia Jing’s Army, Long Xiao’s Unit, and Liao Rulong’s Unit, advancing to Fire Dance Pass, encountered strong resistance.
Both sides began to suffer significant casualties, entering a stalemate.
December 5th.
Lord Huoyu personally led ten thousand troops in a surprise attack on Zhao Xing’s Supply City, aiming to decisively settle the battle.
December 6th, Zhao Xing and Long Xiao, who were well-prepared, counter ambushed.
Lord Huoyu was killed by Zhao Xing, and the remaining leaders fled in disarray.
Frontline forces including Xia Jing and Liao Rulong’s Unit, seized the opportunity to take down Fire Dance Pass.
Intending to stay low-key and earn battle rits through farming, Zhao Xing tearfully accepted 200,000 battle rits, entering the top five thousand.
...
December, the three armies regrouped.
For ahead of them, a thousand miles away, lay the Qinggang Mine Area.
With over a million troops stationed ahead, it was not a target these three armies could take on alone.
They needed to wait for Lv Yuanwei from the western front, and the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, Xuanjia Army, Fierce Sun Army to converge for a three-pronged attack.
However, history changed at this mont.
Injured Lv Yuanwei, was delayed in breaking through Yang Qilin’s second line of defense.
On the contrary, the northern front’s Tiger Flood Dragon Army, Xuanjia Army, and Fierce Sun Army, like a breaking bamboo, had already united three hundred thousand troops at Fire Dance Pass with Xia Jing, Liao Rulong, and Long Xiao’s Unit.
"Ten-Day Sky’s power weakened, timing advanced, allowing the nine armies that had been severely damaged in Ten Suns Cave Heaven to retain many of their core mid-level leaders, and now it’s the northern army corps that is advancing faster."
"Lv Yuanwei, on the other hand, has slowed down considerably," Zhao Xing pondered.
The Creation Plate had replayed the original course of events; he could now discuss it openly without issue, as it was no longer a secret.
Of course, the Ten-Day Sky Event had also greatly motivated the Southern Barbarians, arguably even more so than others.
After all, they had been consistently defeated before, and now with Great Zhou’s holand being bombed, how could they not be energized?
"Looking at it now, even if Lv Yuanwei breaks through Yang Qilin’s defenses, it’s doubtful it would produce particularly good results,"
Zhao Xing looked at the recent casualty list.
Not just the Divine Might Army’s, but the entire Pacifying Barbarian Battlefield’s casualties were greater than those in the first phase.
But Emperor Jing was very determined, now even more troops were on the battlefield than before.
"With these casualties, the speed of accumulating battle rits has slowed down, because deductions are necessary,"
Zhao Xing, even though responsible for logistics, keenly felt the increased resistance of the Southern Barbarians, even his supply lines were being fiercely harassed.
Although he earned a significant amount of battle rits, there were always deductions; earning rits was hard, but deductions were plentiful.
In February of the nineteenth year of the Jingxin Calendar, the last territory of the Fire Demon’s Territory still had not been taken.
The eastern and western fronts had started their assault, no longer waiting for Lv Yuanwei.
The intensity of the war surged.
Yang Qilin, a famous general of the Fire Demon Clan, with eighty thousand troops, held back Lv Yuanwei’s five hundred thousand, causing the eastern and western fronts to face even more enemy forces.
The Divine Might Army, Xuanjia Army, began suffering significant casualties.
Every day, wounded soldiers were transported to Zhao Xing’s Supply City, increasing the demand for dicinal materials.
So injuries could not be treated, as they had lost their realms, leading to an increase in combat reduction.
In June of the nineteenth year of the Jingxin Calendar, by this ti, even Xia Jing and Long Xiao had been injured multiple tis.
The three armies suffered a reduction in combat force of up to twenty-seven thousand people!
The large battlefield surrounding the Fire Demon’s Qinggang Mine Area had turned into a grueling battle.
"Boss, a batch of wounded soldiers has arrived!" Che Shihai hurried in, "This ti it’s three thousand five hundred and forty-six people."
"Send them to the wounded soldiers’ camp for treatnt," Zhao Xing looked towards Han Bing next to him, "Is there a shortage of dicinal materials?"
"The supply of dicinal materials is still holding up," Han Bing replied, "but the military doctors can’t keep up."
"Didn’t we transfer a batch of military doctors here a month ago?" Zhao Xing asked, "Where’s Yuan Yang, call him to answer!"
By now, Mr. Zhao’s temper had also grown under the tense atmosphere of the battlefield, with everyone’s nerves tightly wound.
"Sir, I’m afraid Yuan Yang can’t respond," Han Bing said with a wry smile, "He hasn’t slept for fifteen days, and last night, he fainted in the wounded soldiers’ camp, he himself is now receiving treatnt."
"The batch of doctors transferred here a month ago lacks experience on the battlefield, and the dical camp is already operating at full capacity, you can’t be too harsh on them."
