Although he did not attack the Xizhou Demon Clan, Lin Xiao was still very busy, asking people to sort out the history of the immortal cultivation world on the one hand, and sorting out his memoirs on the other hand, and the affairs of the alliance did not let go.

Among the things of the alliance, Lin Xiao pays attention to two years, the first thing is the financial resources of the alliance, fighting a war is fighting money, this sentence is by no means a saying, without financial resources, Lin Xiao can't do anything, and the second thing is a large-scale training of the new army.

The two things complement each other, financial resources are the top priority, before the Southern Continent Alliance had a large number of demon beast corpses in their hands, after more than a year of digestion, the flesh and blood of the demon beasts have been consumed, after all, this thing does not need much technology, and a large number of low-level casual cultivators can be recruited to do it.

The blood and flesh of these demon beasts were sold all over the Central Continent, and a large number of spiritual rice and low-grade elixirs were exchanged, so that Lin Xiao could gradually distribute the rewards and death benefits of various countries, and also give various countries a chance to breathe.

However, at this time, there are still not many resources in the alliance, and even a lot of rewards and pensions are owed to various countries, and making money has become the most important thing for Lin Xiao.

Because of the destruction of society and the shrinking of commerce, Lin Xiao does not feel that he can earn a lot of wealth through commerce, at least the model of Bliss Villa is not good, and now no one has this spare money to spend.

Therefore, Lin Xiao still has to farm honestly, and the field, Lin Xiao is the most lacking, Nanzhou killed more than 10 million sect family monks, vacated a large amount of territory, and the people of each sect are not only reduced, but also to maintain a huge armament, it can be said that there is no manpower to plant and produce.

Lin Xiao still had the idea of casual cultivation, although scattered cultivation also killed millions of people and horses, but there were still tens of millions of scattered cultivators in Nanzhou, most of these people did not have the courage to go into battle to fight, but if they farmed, they were definitely good hands.

There are also some teams or individuals with considerable financial resources among the scattered cultivators, Lin Xiao's first step is still to sell the vacated Spirit Mountain to them, not to mention harvesting their floating wealth, but also enriching the power of the sect or family, since they want to start a sect, they must change their previous life mode and integrate into the big family of the Nanzhou Alliance, otherwise they will not be able to mix in Nanzhou.

The second step is to recruit casual cultivators to farm, Lin Xiao issued an order, recruited five million casual cultivators in one go, and then selected more than 30,000 professional spiritual cultivators or farming experts from various countries and sects to conduct short training for these casual cultivators, and teach them high-level spiritual cultivation techniques at a very low price.

Then let Wan Jun arrange for these five million people and horses to plant spiritual valleys, elixirs, spiritual hemp and other spiritual things on various borderless lands, no matter how Lin Xiao is, in short, there is just one requirement, all spiritual fields cannot be empty, and there must be production.

This matter is dealt with together with various countries and sects, in a year's time, crops similar to the Spirit Valley that can grow in a year have been harvested, and after paying the wages of the five million loose cultivators, there is still a lot of profit, and those low-level elixirs and the like that have been in a cycle for several years have not been harvested, and once they are harvested, the profits will be even greater.

And the second important source of wealth is from the Nanzhou Factory, Lin Xiao previously set up the Nanzhou Factory, according to the model of the Wuguo Factory, refining the Dan Fu Array, for more than a year, the Great Factory is extremely prominent in the refining of magic weapons, after all, there are countless demon beast materials that can be used, creating millions of first- to third-order magic weapons.

Some of these magic weapons are sold to the merchants of the Nanzhou Alliance to make a profit, and the other part is used to equip the Nanzhou army.

In a year's time, Lin Xiao compiled and trained five million new troops, divided them into five armies, and set up five numbers for them: Yangwu, Rongwu, Wuyi, Huben, and Xuanjia, each of which set up a military flag, and had its own slogans and war songs and unified clothing.

And there are also revisions in the system, ten people for a team, 100 people for a team, 1,000 people for the song, 10,000 people for the battalion, and its leaders are the team leader, the team leader, the song leader, and the school captain.

In fact, these five armies are equivalent to the establishment of group armies, and each group army has a vanguard, and the leaders of the five armies become generals.

The general must be a monk above the Golden Body Period, which was originally the bottom line, but now Nanzhou in addition to supporting the monks and the Qin State, the Golden Body Stage monks are slim, Lin Xiao can't make it up, and in desperation, he can only let Ye Nanyu and Li Muxue occupy two positions, and the remaining three positions are all given to the Golden Body Stage monks of the Tianyue Sect, the Feitian Sect and the Taiyi Sect.

It's just that Tan Mingzong of Tianyue Sect is just a virtual leader, and it is Tan Minghua who is in charge, although the Feitian Sect and Taiyi Sect have sent people over, but their level of command is not high, and Lin Xiao has only temporarily let them lead, and it is Bai Zichen who is really in charge of these Divine Void Period monks.

Speaking of which, Bai Zichen and they also suffered a loss in cultivation, otherwise, with their ability, it would be no problem to take charge of an army alone, it was more than enough, Lin Xiao could only wait for their cultivation to improve before appreciating.

Since it is going to be regularized, Lin Xiao has adopted a salary system for this new army, of course, in the world of cultivating immortals, it is called Yulu, and it is given monthly, also known as Yuelu, from small soldiers to generals, there is a corresponding level of Yulu, and it is no longer divided according to the previous cultivation, and the position used.

In addition to Yulu, these monks who joined the army also have some additional income, such as meritorious service and victory, there will be some rewards, but the reward amount is not as large as before.

In addition to rewards, there are also subsidies, and the five armies of Yangwu include multiple arms, such as cavalry riding dragon horses, artillery operating Xuanjing cannons, and air forces controlling flying boat warships, each with a certain amount of subsidies according to the degree of danger.

In order to match these troops, Lin Xiao also spent a lot of effort, each army has 50,000 dragon horses, 1,000 Xuanjing cannons of different grades, god-destroying crossbows, 500 flying boats, and five warships, in order to equip these, the army that has not been trained is almost collected by Lin Xiao.

In addition to cavalry, artillery, and air force, Lin Xiao also adjusted the ratio of battle formations, the old and new battle formations are about one to one, and an army with one million people has about 300,000 new battle formations, 450,000 traditional battle formations, and the rest is the rest of the troops.

Just the setting of these establishments, Lin Xiao spent two months with a large group of people, and then spent another half a year for them to practice day and night, and Lin Xiao was also preparing enough magic clothes and battle armor for them, magic weapon spirit runes, flying boat warships, elixirs and other resources.

All kinds of things are done together, so in the past year, Lin Xiao has not taken a minute off, and he is so busy every day that his feet do not touch the ground, and in a year, the new army has been trained.

This is an army completely different from any era, they have thoughts and consciousness, Lin Xiao has been instilling in them the concept of fighting for the human race and fighting for Nanzhou, they are also an organized and equipped army, Lin Xiao smashed all the resources in his hands on them, and the equipment on each of them will not be worse than the core disciples of the great sect.

Moreover, Lin Xiao also carefully prepared dozens of exercises and martial arts for them, and promoted them for free, these exercises and martial arts will not be lower than the upper grade of the Xuan level, and when the position reaches a certain level, they can practice the ground-level, and even the heaven-level exercises, this benefit alone is enough to make countless monks red-eyed, because even in the Tianyue Sect, the first sect in the Southern Continent, it is extremely difficult to practice high-level exercises and martial arts.

All countries and sects regard the martial arts as the key point of monopoly cultivation, and they must examine their background, qualifications, contributions, etc., and only after passing the layers of investigation can they practice higher-level martial arts, and Lin Xiao directly broke this rule.

Only in actual combat can the results of Lin Xiao's strategy be tested, and it can also convince all countries, and at the same time, it is also necessary for them to attack the demon clan in Xizhou, hunt demon beasts, and earn resources.

Therefore, Lin Xiao let Yangwu and Rongwu enter the Murong State and undertake the defense tasks on the main battlefield, while the three armies of Wuyi, Huben, and Xuanjia drove into the northern battlefield of the Qin State and took on the heavy responsibility.

The armies of monks in these two places began to rotate and recuperate, and at the same time implemented Lin Xiao's streamlining strategy, cutting out all the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, leaving only the elite, otherwise the huge expenditure would be enough to crush the alliance's financial resources.

Among them, the target of the elimination is the vast majority of scattered cultivators and support monks, among these people, only the monks above the Daogang period are what Lin Xiao wants, and the rest of Lin Xiao have paid rewards and pensions to let them go, and even those Xizhou monks Lin Xiao also let them go.

After many rounds of rotation and retrenchment, only 12 million troops, 5 million main forces, 7 million traditional army were left on the entire northern front of Nanzhou, plus 3 million troops on the Nanzhou Barbarian Front, and the entire Nanzhou maintained 15 million men and horses.

In Lin Xiao's presupposition, when the peace is after the war, these five armies will be the forces in the hands of the alliance, responsible for the defense forces of all parties, and the rest will be transferred to the people of each sect, which has nothing to do with the alliance.

After the new army assumed the heavy responsibility, they began to test their combat strength, and each army began to take the initiative to attack in the mode of small troops, and the effect was extraordinary, and in a month's time, tens of millions of demon beasts were killed, and the Xizhou demon clan was dealt a heavy blow.

Because they were all in squad mode, the Zhizu demon beasts on the opposite side didn't notice it at first, and it wasn't until about a month that they realized that the loss of the demon beasts under their command was too great, and they hurriedly reported to the high-level demon king, and finally reported the situation to the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor couldn't figure out why the combat power of the human race had soared because there were fewer people and horses, but the death of a large number of low-level demon beasts still made him extremely angry, so the Dragon Emperor launched a large-scale counterattack and stormed the defense lines of the two places.

Under Lin Xiao's order, the traditional army undertook the defense task, and the five million new army walked out of the defense line, with Lin Xiao leading the monks above the eighth realm to contain the corresponding demon king of the other party, in the continuous battle for half a month, the five million new army not only blocked the hundreds of millions of demon beast army, but also killed more than 50 million demon beasts, and grabbed as many as 20 or 30 million demon beast corpses.
