According to international practice, at the beginning of a war, it is often the first to break out in the cultivation world.

Because cultivators are faster, more lethal, and relatively few in number, they are easier to gather—especially in religious countries such as Turkic and Tibetan countries based on "faith." Their divine power is higher than that of the king, and they are more cohesive.

The situation is a bit like the Three Kingdoms period. Before the start of the war, everyone will send a few vanguard generals to come forward and call out: "Who will fight with a certain battle for 300 rounds!" "Lord, please fight!" ”

Then everyone started fighting.

The winner, of course, has a big morale boost. The loser may be slumped, but it is also possible to be ashamed and brave to vent the shame.

After the battle of the generals, it is the turn of the minions to appear.

There is also an international convention: civilians are not harmed.

This sentence, of course, is designed for the cultivation world, and the reason is naturally needless to say. At the beginning, Miyamoto Musashi led his troops to attack Pyongyang City, but he only targeted the cultivators of the Great Zhou, not to mention the civilians, even the army, he never hurt half a point.

Because of this, Li Bai would let him go at the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that when Shirakawa attacked Tokyo, he would give Miyamoto Musashi such a big face, and he would retreat without hesitation.

As for the later Magic Cannon incident, that's a different story.

The above two practices have been recognized by the cultivation community all over the world.

Otherwise, with the strength of some top cultivators, such as Li Bai and Di Renjie of the Great Zhou, Wuzun and Wuwang of the Turks, Angela of Xiyi, Miyamoto Musashi of the former Dongying, and the like, the war would become a cruel game of "see who can kill faster".

However, now, these two unwritten rules have been trampled on by the Turks.

The Turkic Khan King Ashina, with the acquiescence of Wuzun, gathered as many as 100,000 sorcerers from all over the Turkic territory, led by the four great witch kings except Ashina, and launched a tentative attack on the borders of the Great Zhou and the European Union at the same time.

With a mere "tentative" attack, no less than 10 cities on the border between the two countries were captured overnight, and nearly half a million lives were lost in the world.

The strength of a cultivator was extremely manifested in this kind of world-class large-scale war.

That's not a huge gap that can be made up by the number of people at all, no matter how many people there are, in front of an army of pure cultivators, they are all fish on the plate and let others slaughter them.

What's even more terrifying is that I don't know which genius's masterpiece actually brought the guerrilla tactics of "loading and running away" to the extreme.

The Turkic wizard army never stayed in the same place for more than two hours, and every time they attacked, they relied on the huge difference in strength between each other, rushing up to fight each other and attack each other unprepared!

They kill anyone they see!

Wherever cultivators and ordinary people went, no one or animal was left behind. After killing people, quickly plunder the important materials in the city, and then scatter in a hurry, organize the next attack, and so on.

By the time the strong men of the two countries came to help, the Turks had already emptied the building - like a swarm of locusts and robbers, coming and going without a trace.

The looted materials were used to feed the ordinary army of the Turks.

In just one month, the borders of the Great Zhou and the European Union have been full of smoke, and there is a smell of "the wind and the grass and trees are all soldiers", and everyone talks about the tiger's color.

After each "tentative attack" of the wizard army opened up the situation, the Turkic cavalry, which had already been on the border, followed closely and launched a frontal assault, quickly magnifying the results.

This kind of victory is not a siege in the traditional sense, but a ......

Array.

And this array, the name is called - blood! River! Big! Spell!

Because there happened to be a word "river", when Bai He heard this bloody array for the first time, his first reaction was: Wow, what a big hatred and how much resentment this is?! He actually wanted to use Lao Tzu's blood to set up the array...... Q: You're happy, aren't you?

Later, after the popular science of the Holy Queen, I realized that I was thinking too much.

The Blood River Great Array, which is said to be from the world's first magic skill, the Chunyang Snow Melting Skill, has the characteristics of devouring everything.

The process of setting up the formation is also very simple, and it can even be said to be rough.

In each Turkic cavalry, there will be several wizards with them, because the materials are readily available, so as long as the cavalry gathers the corpses, and then the wizards perform the mysterious and strange witchcraft of the Great Snow Mountain, and then this is ...... Such...... And so it is.

Ahem, in short, unknown.

And the role of the Blood River Great Array......

Unknown.

To be precise, it's not just unknown, it's impossible to know.

Because all the people who entered the Blood River Great Array were all gone, from Jin Dan to civilians, without exception. As for the primordial infant and the god above the golden pill, it is unknown.

At the beginning of the birth of the Blood River Great Array, the Great Poet Immortal Li Bai once personally investigated, but after three days and three nights, he ran out again, and then brought back a shocking news.

He said......

Thanks to the Blood River Great Array, the most mysterious life form in this world has finally appeared-the resentful spirit.

Or to put it in layman's terms......

Ghost.

Just like "ghosts" in the traditional sense, resentful spirits are an existence between the unreal and the real, they are tangible but not real, and have the characteristics of "physical immunity", even if they are as strong as the great poet immortal Li Bai, they are helpless. But fortunately, the realm of the Great Poetry Immortal is high enough, and although it is not possible to kill ghosts, it is still okay to protect yourself, otherwise......

At the same time, the wraiths are able to devour flesh and blood to strengthen themselves.

Li Bai said that within every Blood River Great Array, there will be an existence similar to the "Ghost King", and the Ghost King has been born since the beginning of the appearance of the Blood River Great Array, which he calls the "Array Spirit".

Over time...... To be precise, it should be that with the "digestion" of the materials of the array, after three days, the spirit of the array will gradually grow and become the ghost king, and finally the ghost king will awaken the souls of all the "raw materials", which is the so-called resentful spirit.

After that, the resentful spirits will start to operate around the Blood River Array, hunting all life, and their strength is very strong.

Li Bai once met a monk who came to visit and tried to "purify all sentient beings" and broke into the Blood River Array.

The monk was from Tibet, and because he died too quickly, of course the Dharma name is unknown. However, the high monk has an Arhat-level cultivation, and his status in Tibet should not be low.

(Note: Arhats, that is, the Jindan equivalent to the Great Zhou, are: monks, Buddhist monks, Vajra, Arhats, Venerables, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas)

And then......

Li Bai saw the Arhat monk die in front of his eyes.

——Led by the ghost king, thousands of resentful spirits pounced on him, and with just one face, the monk sucked into white bones alive, and finally turned into ashes.

The whole process, absolutely no more than three seconds!

The horror of the resentful spirit can be seen from this.

…… The above is all the information about the Blood River Great Array that Li Bai brought back. On the contrary, the Holy Queen knew a little more, but only a little—she said that she could not see the scene inside the Great Array of the Blood River.

The implication is ......

Within that big array, even the Kyushu dragon veins were cut off. Even if she wanted to rain down the Divine Thunder Destruction Array, she would not be able to do it.

Such a terrible blood river array has brought endless trouble to Da Zhou and the European Union.

Da Zhou is better.

At the beginning of the war, Da Zhou was caught off guard, so he was taken advantage of by the Turks, but soon, Da Zhou had already reacted, and then showed extremely strong war potential.

There is a holy queen god thunder, and the Turks do not dare to go too deep.

There are a group of qi domain powerhouses such as the great poet immortal Li Bai and the great detective running around to support, not afraid of the Turkic sneak attack.

There are seventy-three teleportation arrays that have been structured, and the Great Zhou army can be sent at any time, and the frontal battlefield is not empty at all.

And the magic cannon that the whole world trembles for......

With this three-pronged approach, the situation was quickly contained.

Although there is only one magic cannon, it ...... The Turks don't know that there is only one!

Since his first appearance in Tokyo, Shirakawa has disappeared with the magic cannon, and has not been used or displayed to this day. Therefore, the whole world can't be sure how many magic cannons Da Zhou made, and I don't know where these magic cannons are distributed and in whose hands.

Existing as a deterrent force, I have to say that the magic cannon has been done to the extreme.

On the EU side, on the other hand, the situation is much more dire.

To be reasonable, after King Arthur unified Europe, the overall strength of the EU was completely not under the Turks, as if it were the second in the world.

But the bad thing is that this "second in the world" is only superficial, and the cohesion of the EU is, in fact, even looser than that of Tibet.

Tubo is a religious country, and there is a "Buddha Lord" sitting on it, although there are many princes in the country, and the Buddha country is everywhere, no one obeys anyone, but at least, the appeal of the Buddha Lord is still there.

As long as the Buddha Lord gives an order, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Sect is quite amazing.

But what about the EU?

Angels and demons are opposed, blood and werewolves are fighting, and there are also traditional wizards' guilds that regard a group of "innovators" led by Angela as heretics.

In addition, not long ago, because of the teleportation array, he was ruthlessly exploited by Baihe, and the national strength was weak, and now in the face of the sudden attack of the Turks, the Eastern European defense line was ruthlessly chiseled through in an instant.

How ruthless the Turks are!

From beginning to end, they all revealed a determination of "even if you die, they will pull you to the bottom of the corpse", as if they want to destroy the whole world.

No money, no people, refusal to negotiate, refusal to take prisoners, in short, "kill" is just one word!

Hundreds of blood river arrays spread like a plague to Central Europe. If you look at it from above, you can even clearly see the blood flowers blooming.

There are many forces in the country, today you are gloating, tomorrow I will fall into the ground, I don't know how to write the word "unity", let alone work together to support from all sides.

In view of this, in less than two months, the "temptations" of the Turks escalated into a full-scale offensive, and then very quickly, the people of the EU began to be afraid.

Hundreds of people fled to the Great Zhou and Tibet to seek refuge, and the newly established European Union was instantly shaken by the shock.

There was no way, King Arthur had no choice but to send a letter of state in person and ask for help from the Great Zhou and Tubo.

Outcome......

Needless to say, the Tibetans naturally said that they were originally "Buddhist players", and they were the best at the trick of "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door and cares about the frost on the tiles of others", but now that the Turks have not invaded them, they secretly laughed, how could they take the initiative to fight?

So the door closed: "Amitabha! As the so-called medicine doctor does not die of disease, Buddha is destined to be a person. The donor believes in God, and I have no chance with my Buddha, please return! ”

As a result, not only did the Tibetans send troops, but even the refugees were turned away.

And what about Da Zhou?

As soon as this letter for help arrived, the Holy Queen immediately summoned Bai He in the imperial study.

"Baihe, what do you think about this?" The Holy Empress threw the letter of state directly in front of Bai He.

Today's Baihe, it is no exaggeration to say that it is really a national treasure of the Great Zhou, but whenever there is anything, no matter how big or small, the Holy Queen likes to listen to his opinions.

"What's the matter?"

Bai He was obsessed with the topic of "ghosts" at this time, and when he heard that he looked at it, he found that it was a foreign language, and then he threw it aside: "I don't understand." ”

"You!"

The Holy Queen gave him a blank look, feeling helpless.

This kid is good at everything, but he's a little lazy and overdone.

The things he was interested in, such as the Blood River Great Array, and the "ghosts" born in the array, he had to study them thoroughly without eating or drinking. But if he wasn't interested, he would never take a second look at the knife holder around his neck, such as Yangwen.

How simple it is to write foreign language, the Holy Queen can speak fluent London English in just one day, but what about White River? He looked at it and said he was dizzy, and when he looked at it, he pretended to be dead directly, and no one persuaded him not to move.

When I was talking about business with the Xiyi people, it was okay to bring a translator with me, and even the "Introduction to Steam Magic" personally sent by the archmage Angela, he had to let people translate it into Chinese before he was willing to take a look. There is no one like this White River......

"Zi said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Although the Xiyi language is not as ornate as Chinese, it also has its merits. I have already asked you to learn more, even if you don't want to be proficient, at least you have to master, with your understanding, it is not easy to do it? It's good now......" The holy queen counted a few sentences a little fragmented.

Bai He didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Dynasty, and only foreigners have learned Chinese, how can there be a reason for Chinese to learn Western languages?" ”

"Dare to talk back!" The Holy Queen glared.

"Ahem!"

Bai He hurriedly changed the subject: "...... So, what does this book say? ”

“……”

The holy queen gave him another blank look, shook her head angrily, and finally translated it for him herself, and explained it like this in combination with the current affairs.

Bai He listened quietly, and then suddenly realized: "I see! That...... Now Xiyi is asking for help, but I don't know what His Majesty thinks? ”

"You!" The Holy Queen immediately laughed angrily: "I came to you to ask for your opinion, but now you have turned back?" ”

"Uh......" Bai Heleng paused for a moment, thought about it and said: "This matter is also simple, there are only two choices, one is to refuse, and the other is to accept." ”

"That makes sense, and then what?" The Holy Queen asked.

"Then......" Bai He was stunned again, "Your Majesty, shouldn't this be your decision?" ”

"I ...... I'll kill you! ”

The Holy Queen is so angry, after talking for a long time, this kid still doesn't want to care about this matter after all, and he doesn't even want to ask!

I've really seen a lazy one, I've never seen such a lazy one!

Ah......h

He's not lazy at all, he's ...... But as Li Yuanfang said, he is a salted fish at all!

Think of it, what an honor it is, the Holy Lord!

The population of 90 million in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many students have studied hard for ten years, just to fight for a chance to show their faces in front of me, but you kid is good, and you push it out tightly, as if it was a hot potato.

The palm of the hand was raised and lowered, the electric light flashed and flashed, and the holy queen was still reluctant after all.

Then she stared at Bai He and said a little stupidly: "I ...... I just want to ask you what you mean, is it that hard? If so, how do you send troops? If so, how? If you refuse, wouldn't it, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Huh?"

The holy queen paused: "Doesn't it make the hearts of the people of the world cold?" ”

Speaking of this, Bai He suddenly smiled: "Chilling? Not necessarily. ”

The Holy Queen's eyes suddenly lit up: Good boy, he was finally willing to speak, and hurriedly asked, "What is your good plan?" ”

"I don't dare to do a good strategy, but there is a trick." Shirakawa laughed.

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!" The Holy Queen laughed and scolded, she just admired his "modest" style.

So Bai He cleared his throat and said: "First of all, Your Majesty, you have to understand that no matter whether you send troops or not, no matter what the situation of the Xiyi war is, there will be a battle between the Great Zhou and the Turks sooner or later, which is an undeniable fact. Now that the Turks are taking Xiyi, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that the Xiyi people can consume the combat power of the Turks - especially the high-end combat power, so that His Majesty naturally knows all the benefits better than Weichen. ”

The Holy Queen nodded: "That being said, it's just ......"

"Your Majesty, listen to me."

Bai He interrupted: "Weichen knows that His Majesty's concern is nothing more than how the world views it. I think that my Great Zhou built a country with benevolence and righteousness, and has always helped the world, and has won the support of all countries. If you sit idly by, you will definitely provoke a lot of criticism. On this point, I personally think ...... To put it selfishly, it is called that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and my Great Zhou soldiers have no obligation or responsibility to block the sword for the Xiyi people.

However, since His Majesty asked, Wei Chen should do his best to solve problems for His Majesty.

Therefore, in the humble opinion of Weichen, soldiers, none of us will come out, but the Xiyi refugees, Your Majesty may wish to accept them all. In this way, you can gain millions of people without a single soldier, and you can also win a good reputation, why not? ”

"You mean...... Accept them all? The Holy Queen was shocked when she heard this.

"That's right, either you don't collect any of them, or you can collect them all, Han Xin orders troops, the more the merrier." Shirakawa nodded in affirmation.

"Containment is not a problem, with the current national strength and territory of Dazhou, it is said that there are only millions of displaced people, even if the entire EU moves over, Da Zhou can fit it, the problem is how to settle down after containment." The Holy Queen hesitated.

Bai He nodded: "It is true that the settlement of the displaced people has always been the most troublesome problem. The large number of people is itself a source of unrest. What's more, even if you help them today, they will still move back to their homeland after the disaster is over. Not only is it thankless, but it is also easy to feed a bunch of white-eyed wolves. ”

The holy queen glanced at him: "It's good that you know." ”

Bai He smiled and suddenly asked, "But...... Has Your Majesty ever wondered if those homeless people would not want to go back after they came? ”

"How is this possible?!" The Holy Queen frowned.

After all, although this place is good, it is not my hometown after all!

The complex of falling leaves returning to the roots is not unique to the Great Zhou, it is a deep-rooted idea that is rooted in everyone's heart. Even if it is a god, it is impossible to control people's hearts, let alone Baihe a mortal?

"Xiyi has a saying, called nothing is impossible!" Bai He paused and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in this world, nothing is impossible. ”

Seeing him so confident, the Holy Queen couldn't help but be overjoyed: "If that's the case, it's naturally better, then tell me your plan!" ”

"Oh, it's a simple idea, and there's a vivid example right now."

"Which one?"

"Chaoyang County."
