On December 24, there are still quite a few people who still remember it as an ancient festival in the folk, and many nostalgic families even bought Christmas trees early and made a sumptuous dinner, and before going to bed, they were expecting an old man riding a deer to stuff a surprise into the stockings at the head of the bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When, when......

Twelve rings rang from bell towers in various places, followed by fireworks in the night, and what was surprising was that on this special day, under the starry night, dazzling fires suddenly crossed over.

Is it a meteor shower?

Make a wish.

On the streets of the night market, many couples chasing comics couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"No, it's not fashion, it's a railgun, oh my God...... Such a dense attack, a war, a full-scale war, is coming. Suddenly, someone who woke up lost his mind and shouted.

And as if to confirm this person's terrifying remarks, a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded over the city!!

Crash!!!

It's messy, everything is messed up, and the originally peaceful life is completely broken at this moment.

The first wave of attacks was undoubtedly a number of IPU cities or military bases close to the Ethereal City.

Tens of thousands, nay, completely with millions of electromagnetic cannon attacks, suddenly launched, fiercely caught the IPU off guard.

After all, although the Ethereal City and the Parliamentary Alliance are secretly very deep, and there are even some local conflicts from time to time, before the mortal enemy of mankind is destroyed, it is still necessary to maintain the false ease of some compatriots on the surface. There has been no major war for hundreds of years, and it has more or less made the IPU slack. In addition, the attack of the Ethereal City came too suddenly, and he didn't see the slightest clue before, so it was naturally difficult to prevent it.

According to statistics, the IPU lost nearly 2 million troops in the indiscriminate bombardment of long-range electromagnetic guns on the first day of the Ethereal City, more than 100 cities were affected by varying degrees of severity, and the number of civilian casualties was even more difficult to count.

From suffering a full-scale blow to reacting and starting to appear sporadic counterattacks, it took the IPU side three days, and this speed is already very fast.

But even so, in just three days, nearly one percent of the IPU's territory has fallen.

Under the clouds, behemoth flying swords made of steel filled the sky, like honeycombs, spitting out a large number of mecha from time to time, advancing in an orderly manner, and destroying all resistance forces that hindered its progress. As for the occupied cities, they had their own logistical support and garrisons to take over, and temporarily imposed military control.

The so-called military control is very simple and crude, forcibly confiscating all daily necessities in the occupied cities, and distributing uniform quotas, and at the same time implementing curfews and census policies, and using secret intelligence agencies to control them, screen out all unstable factors, and suppress them in a timely manner. In the whole process, but there is resistance, and there is no matter how to kill.

Of course, the logistical support and the strength of the garrison are limited after all, and with the continuous expansion of the occupied areas in the future, they will soon be unable to do so, not to mention, they also have to bear the logistics supply of the front-line combat troops, so this kind of policy can only be implemented at the beginning, and in the future, it will be taken over by the officials of the Ethereal City.

Compared with the bustle and fierceness of the Ethereal City's attack on the Parliamentary Alliance, the army of monks led by Zhanbai himself was much quieter when he attacked the Meditation at the same time.

The army of monks led by Zhan Bai this time has a total of one million, of which 100,000 blood refining troops who have just completed their training from the Haotian Shura Realm are undoubtedly the main force. In addition, all the 3,000 disciples of the Sword Collar participated, all the 100,000 disciples of Jian Feiyan participated in the battle, and all the 3,000 disciples of the newly formed Dark Sword Pavilion participated. The seven hundred Taiyi True Monarch powerhouses who had completed the god-making plan would not let go of such an opportunity to exercise.

As for the remaining nearly 800,000 monks, 50,000 belong to the armed forces of the Shenji Battalion, and 50,000 come from Jianzhai (among them, 5,000 of the 10,000 Neisai disciples participated in the war, and the rest came from Waizhai. The remaining 700,000 are an army of monks that have been created little by little from mortals in the form of medicine over the years.

At the beginning, a god-making plan turned hundreds of years of efforts by the other five pavilions that were independent of the Sword Pavilion into ashes, and each branch had an average of 100,000 disciples, and in the end, only more than 700 people survived.

Although Zhan Bai had the intention to rebuild the five pavilions, firstly, these seven hundred people were too important to him to be exposed, and secondly, they still needed a long time to get familiar with their bodies to be able to truly match the cultivation of Taiyi Zhenjun, so they had to postpone this plan.

And in addition to these people, the monks who directly obeyed his orders, except for the sword collar, sword Feiyan, blood refining army, and Dark Sword Pavilion, there were less than 800,000 monks who relied on medicine to quickly ascend.

Of course, in addition to these, the Shenji Battalion also has no less than 100,000 monks in charge of battles, as well as an even greater number of cultivators who are in charge of the battle. But this force, although it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhanbai, unless Ning Xiaoning agrees, he can't adjust it.

The same is true of the 10,000 inner Zhai disciples and the more than 100,000 outer Zhai disciples of Jian Zhai. The only difference is that this force is not that Zhanbai can't control it, but that it was deliberately handed over to Praise.

For the army of millions of monks, the division of their strength is also clear. Standing at the top end is undoubtedly the group of monks who have exceeded 1,000 people and have cultivated to the Taiyi True Monarch Realm.

Seven hundred successful people of the God-making Project, a total of nearly two hundred sword collars and disciples of Sword Feiyan, and a handful of old people who are quite valued by Zhan Bai are all in this ranks.

Secondly, there are 100,000 blood refining troops.

After fifty years of experience in the Haotian Shura realm, with strong teamwork combat effectiveness and tenacious will, in addition to the loss of 1,000 people in the first year or two, the 100,000 blood refining army has lost 1,000 people, and in the next forty years, because of the familiarity with the environment, even if the strength of the Shura ghosts and ghosts in the face is getting bigger and bigger, the losses are extremely limited, and in this process, whether it is the combat power of individual cultivation or the combat effectiveness of the whole army, there has been a skyrocketing improvement. Up to now, with the exception of Nie Xiaofan, everyone's cultivation has broken through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, and the number of people who have reached the True Monarch Realm has exceeded 10,000.

To put it bluntly, with such a 100,000-strong monk army, its combat effectiveness is no longer inferior to the same number of Heavenly Court elites. And they have also become the pillar force under Zhanbai's command.

The third rank came from the sword collar and the disciples of the Sword Feiyan and the Dark Sword Pavilion.

Among them, the average combat power of the sword collar is higher than that of Jian Feiyan, and the average combat power of Jian Feiyan is higher than that of the Dark Sword Pavilion. As for the reason, it is not difficult to understand. The conditions for selecting disciples by the sword collar are originally the most stringent, and the number of people is not large, except for the nearly 100 strong people who have cultivated to reach the Taiyi True Monarch Realm, the remaining more than 2,000 disciples have reached the peak of the Earth Monarch on average, and the Heavenly Monarch cultivators are also countless, and there are even no less than 100 people who have broken through to the True Monarch Realm.

Jian Feiyan claimed that there were 100,000 disciples, but because of the implementation of a special policy, there was a difference between the master and the maid, and the real disciples were only more than 10,000. But even so, with the same cultivation resources, it is evenly distributed to each disciple, which is still a little less than the sword collar, and its establishment time is also later than the sword collar, and the overall strength is slightly weak, so it is no exception.

As for the Dark Sword Pavilion, needless to say, it has experienced the heavy blow of the evolution liquid, and almost all the troops have been wiped out, although it was later composed of the Charm Scorpion, the Cunning Scorpion and the Sword Thirteen Heavy Sword, and it took the same elite route as the sword collar, and at the same time contained its own characteristic cultivation methods, but after all, the time is too short, and the new disciples below, the oldest qualified is only a hundred years old, in such a short time, it is already great enough to be able to rank third, how can it be compared with the sword collar and Jian Feiyan.

The fourth and most second-class are the nearly 800,000 monks who have been forcibly promoted with genetic medicine.

Almost all of these people were selected from among mortals after coming to Earth. Of course, the fact that these people were able to be selected undoubtedly proved that they all had good cultivation qualifications, but it was only because of Zhanbai's eagerness for quick success that they had to use the method of pulling out seedlings to promote their growth and borrowing drugs to improve. Of course, don't expect these nearly 800,000 monks to have higher qualifications, otherwise, they wouldn't be here, but they would have been picked by the Sword Collar, Sword Feiyan, Blood Refining Army, Dark Sword Pavilion, and even Jian Zhai and Shenji Battalion.

And these nearly 800,000 monks did not exist in the way of the sect, but built a real monk army according to the model of the blood refining army, but limited by the cultivation resources and the time of cultivation, so far, the average cultivation has only reached the realm of the true primeval realm, and the significance of Yu Zhanbai is not great for at least a long time.

This time, the army of nearly 800,000 monks, except for 50,000 who were handed over to Qin Yin to be responsible for the war with the IPU, all the others fell under Zhanbai's command and participated in the battle with the army of cultivators.

It is foreseeable that after this battle, the army of 700,000 monks will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and there is no way to do it.
