Chapter 262: The melee of the Chu State begins
For a time, the armies of all parties that had been preparing for a long time all advanced towards the Chu State, and the multi-party melee known as the second theater of the Chu State began. In addition to the 1 million troops that were previously transferred to the first war zone of Qi and Wu, the army of Wu stationed near the border of Chu still had 1.6 million.
Qianjimen also transferred all the disciples who had previously supported to the first war zone of Qi and Wu back to the state of Chu together with the army of Wu. The vacancy in the first war zone of Qi and Wu due to the withdrawal of the Thousand Machine Gate was filled by the disciples of Faleng Temple.
When the 90,000 disciples of Qianjimen and the 1.6 million army of Wu were all assembled, the army was divided into three routes and marched towards two strategic fortresses of Chu and one of Chu State's largest border trade cities.
The Sacred Heart Sect has long been prepared for this, the two strategic fortresses have each stationed 400,000 Sacred Heart Sect troops at this time, and the defensive magic circle of the strategic fortress has already been rearranged and reinforced, and even the siege puppets of the Thousand Machine Gate are difficult to open a gap in the tall and solid walls of the strategic fortress in a short period of time.
In addition, on the way, what prevented the army of Wu from attacking the border trade city of Chu was the army of 270,000 night souls created by one of the nine demon generals of the Sacred Heart Sect. Wu originally thought that with his 500,000 army, coupled with the assistance of Qianjimen, he would definitely have a great chance of winning in the open plain against the Night Soul Army, which was nearly twice as many in number.
However, the actual situation after the battle was the opposite, the strength of all the soldiers of the Night Soul Army was close to the strength of the disciples of the second- and third-rate sects, far exceeding the average combat power of the soldiers of the Wu Army.
Five days after the first battle between the Wu army and the Night Soul Army, the demon general Soul Binding used the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers who died in Wu on the battlefield to release a large-scale soul bending, and the combat power of the hundreds of thousands of Night Soul Army increased several times in an instant, directly defeating the Wu army to the point that it was powerless and almost scattered.
In desperation, the Wu army could only temporarily retreat, and after retreating forty miles, it confronted the night soul army of the demon general and bound the soul, so that the eastern battlefield of the second theater of Chu was completely deadlocked.
The army of Wu lost the lives of more than 90,000 soldiers in this battle alone, and it seems that the generals of Wu did not pay attention to the information I provided at the first joint council, otherwise they would not have suffered a crushing defeat in the first battle with the soul.
In the northern battlefield of the Chu State, due to the extensive damage caused by the outbreak of demon insects in the Dayu State before, the Dayu State, which has not yet fully recovered its national strength, only sent a million troops, plus 50,000 disciples of the Taiyue faction and the Qianyuan Sect to march towards the Chu State together. The 10,000 people of the Demon Expedition Legion were all recalled from all over Zhongzhou, and handed over to Mo Feiyuan along with fifty Sword Sect disciples.
Considering that Mo Feiyuan is good at fighting with combat instinct on the battlefield, and the Demon Legion is an elite team with extremely strong combat power. Therefore, the United Council decided that after Mo Feiyuan's troops entered the territory of the country, they did not need to cooperate with the overall movement of the army, but only needed to seriously injure the Sacred Heart Sect army by guerrilla attacks everywhere in the territory of Chu State.
The strongest force led by Mo Feiyuan, who has the title of "the strongest of his time", makes the Sacred Heart Sect have to pay attention to the destructive power of this force after entering the hinterland of the Sacred Heart Sect. Therefore, another army also came into being, that is, the Demon Prince, one of the three sons of the Sacred Heart Sect, led 8,000 Sacred Heart Sect Leader's strongest guards to form a Chaos Legion to compete with Mo Feiyuan's Demon Expedition Legion in the territory of Chu State.
On the frontal battlefield of the war between the northern Chu State and the Dayu Kingdom, the Sacred Heart Sect released the secret treasure they had obtained in the ruins of the Demon Kingdom. Before, when Qu Zhaolin led his subordinates in the ruins of the Demon Kingdom in the 100,000 Great Mountains, some people did not go down to the third layer, but brought back all the humanoid monsters and biosynthetic puppet beasts distributed around the ruins to the Sacred Heart Sect, and also brought back the manufacturing methods.
In the end, Qu Zhaolin did not get the method to control and create the demon cavalry in the ruins. Although the Sacred Heart Cult is currently unable to create the ultimate version of the Majin Cavalry, it is more than enough to create a large number of humanoid monsters and biosynthetic golems. The humanoid monster was called a Poison Exploding Demon by the Sacred Heart Cult, and the biosynthetic puppet beast was called a puppet monster by the Sacred Heart Cult.
In addition, there is another parasitic demon worm brought out by the blood prince from the fifth demon ruins, this kind of demon worm can parasitize in the human body, and exert more than ten times the combat power far beyond the host itself at the cost of consuming the host's life.
The person who planted the parasitic demon worm into the body will not live for two years at most, and the parasitic demon worm can still parasitize in the next host after the death of the host, and only by killing the demon worm parasitic in the host's heart can the parasitic demon be completely killed.
This time, the Sacred Heart Sect sent out in one breath on the battlefield against Dayu Kingdom, 350,000 poisonous explosion demons, 280,000 puppet demonic beasts and 400,000 parasitic demons, led by a Sacred Heart Sect elder and two Sacred Heart Sect Nine Demon Generals.
The army of Dayu sent a small number of troops to launch several tentative attacks on the Sacred Heart Sect, and then after sorting out and analyzing all the information obtained, everyone agreed that these Sacred Heart Sect troops are all renewable armies, and blindly fighting with them can only consume their own strength. At this time, the great war has just begun, and it should still be based on tentative attacks, and it is not yet the time for a large-scale battle in which the whole army will attack.
In this way, the joint operation of the powerful forces of all parties was resolved one by one in just a few months by the multiple preparations that had been planned by the Sacred Heart Sect for decades. It is true that in the current situation, in the eastern and northern battlefields of the second theater of the Chu State, the Dayu State and the Wu State cooperated with the Qianjimen, Taiyue faction and Qianyuanzong still could not open a favorable situation.
However, with the current strength of the Sacred Heart Sect, it can only barely cope with the attacks of all sides, and there is no spare strength to launch a counterattack against all sides. In this way, the eastern battlefield of Chu, like the northern battlefield, was also in a stalemate.
On the west side of the Chu State, since the Seven Princes of the Chu State ascended the throne, the Seven Princes of the Chu State have sent heavy troops to fight the Prince of Chu and the Qingling Sect here for nearly a year. Therefore, when the Seven Princes of Chu announced to the world that the Sacred Heart Sect was the state religion of Chu, the Prince of Chu and the Qingling Sect did not have much strength to fight back against the army of the Seven Princes.
But just after the eastern and northern battlefields of Chu State entered a stalemate, the Sacred Heart Sect suddenly sent troops to Qingling Mountain, where the Qingling Sect was located, intending to completely encircle and suppress the Qingling Sect. The troops sent by the Sacred Heart Sect this time were none other than the 150,000 Dried Corps brought out from the Dead Desert Ruins. Due to the failure of the previous mission of the demon search team led by Nie Qi, this is also the first time in the world that people in the world know what is hidden in the ruins of the Death Desert.
The dried corpses brought out of the ruins of the Death Desert are some of the mutants of the zombies refined by the Ghost Path. The whole body of the dried corpse is wrapped in a special material, which is extremely tough, and it is difficult to damage the dried corpse.
