The opening of the north-south battlefield brought about a major change in the military situation of the empire.

First of all, in the battlefield of the Southern Regions, the rise of the new human army was suppressed by the Eastern Holy Army, and since the third year of the Holy Calendar, it has rarely appeared in the imperial territory with great fanfare, but has used the Quman Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles, as a natural barrier, and stubbornly resisted the attacks of the Eastern Holy Army again and again.

However, even the Eastern Saint Army could not surround all the Quman Mountain Range, which had a complex terrain, especially since there seemed to be a strange force in the mountain range that blocked the Eastern Saint Army from entering the mountain, and the 400,000 troops could only keep an eye on the movements of the New Human Army, and once it appeared, they would swarm and try to annihilate it. However, the New Human Army was extremely slippery, and was always able to escape the encirclement of the Eastern Saint Army, harassing it on the periphery of the Southern Regions battlefield, and then immediately retreating into the Quman Mountain Range, making the Eastern Saint Army helpless.

The other three forces in the battlefield of the Southern Regions are the Southern Saint Army of Xuanwu City, the joint defense army of the Xuanwu Domain, and the Spirit Clan Army that invaded from the Southern Wilderness.

The reason why the Southern Saints Army and the Joint Defensive Army are not confused is that the two forces have very different lines of action on the battlefield. The policy of the Southern Saint Army was to counterattack the Spirit Clan Army and assist the Eastern Saint Army, while the Joint Defense Army emphasized the defense of all levels of towns and cities in the Xuanwu Domain. On the surface, these two approaches do not conflict, but they make the attitude of the United Defending Army stand on a conservative position, and in the offensive tactics of the Southern Saint Army, they not only cannot play a role in helping, but also are likely to disobey the yin and yang, so that the Southern Saint Army has strength but nowhere to go.

But even if the attitude of the joint defense army is very problematic, the Southern Saint Army can not help them, because the joint defense army entrenched in the southeast of the Xuanwu Domain has not only successfully protected the towns and cities at all levels, but also fought with the new human army that escaped the round-up of the Eastern Saint Army many times.

As a result, a strange stalemate was formed on the battlefield in the Southern Regions - the joint defense army was sandwiched between the Eastern Saint Army and the Southern Saint Army, so that they could not echo each other, while the New Human Army fought guerrilla warfare in the Quman Mountain Range, and the Spirit Clan Army fought countless small battles with the Southern Saint Army on the southern border, and none of the five forces could help each other.

In the blink of an eye, the situation in the Northern Regions is much more fierce and cruel than the Southern Battlefield.

The demon beast tide from the Eastern Plains bypassed the White Tiger Domain and entered the Vermilion Bird Domain, the battle line was stretched several times, and the reinforcement line in the rear was also extremely unstable because of the threat of the Eastern Saint Army, and they also lost their tough attitude in the White Tiger Domain, so they did not approach the first-level defense line of the Vermilion Bird Domain, but began to encroach on the second- and third-level towns and cities with weak defensive forces in the northeast.

The invasion of the demon beast tide this time is no better than the White Tiger Domain, they have lost the intention of occupying the territory and establishing a gathering area, so every time they break through a human town, they will burn and loot on a large scale, and after snatching the resources in the town, only the empty city burned by the war will be left to leave, so that the Northern Holy Army, which cannot rush to help in time, can only grit their teeth and collect the surviving refugees and gather towards the first-level defense line.

In the northwest, the combined army of the ghost clan was much tougher, and it drove all the way south from the northern desert, and broke through to the first-level defense line of the Vermilion Bird Domain, with the two first-class towns and cities of Uyghur Temple and Yuma as the battle points, and launched a fierce confrontation with the Northern Holy Army.

The position of commander of the Northern Holy Army fell on the head of Lan Jue, the head of the Lan family in Vermilion Bird City, and the six generals under his command were also the best in civil and military performance, and the first to bear the brunt was Hu Juan'er, the snake charm who was the head of the Vermilion Bird Ladder. The snake charm who stepped into the phase level became famous on the battlefield of the Northern Regions, and her soul petrification technique was extremely restrained by the ghost brute beasts, and she defeated three beast kings in a row on the battlefield of Uyghur Temple Town, achieving her name of 'Medusa'.

However, apart from her, the rest of the generals were not too good, and the battle with the ghost clan coalition army was also tired, making the situation in Yuma Town precarious.

In the past two years, the Northern Holy Army has lost more than it won without reinforcements, and it can be said that it has reached their limit to be able to support it for such a long time.

At this time, the empire made new adjustments to the battle situation, including the dispatch of Qiao Xiaodao mentioned by Du Tianwen.

"Qiao Xiaodao, he shouldn't be fifteen years old, right? What did the leader send him to the battlefield for?" Chang Mingqi couldn't understand at all.

Du Tianwen also frowned and shook his head: "Although the age of the knife is still young, but the last time we met, I could detect that his cultivation had entered the Qing level, far beyond his peers, even if he went to the battlefield, there should be too much of a problem." But what I care about is that according to the information from Guan Xin's side, Xiaodao should have received a inheritance from his brother, and was taken away by the head of the gang soon after, and the two are in between...... Is there some kind of connection? And his position in the embarrassment group is also a mystery, the embarrassment seems to take him too seriously, and this dispatch, I think it may have other meanings. ”

Chang Mingqi thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "I remember well, what he accepted should be ......"

"Liver Elm Soul Trick!"

Du Tianwen nodded affirmatively.

But Chang Mingqi's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

"Did the leader let him go to the battlefield in the Northern Regions, did he go directly to the front line?"

Hearing this, Du Tianwen lowered his head and thought about it, but shook his head: "I don't know much about this, I haven't seen the specific content of the order, but I heard that he directly entered the Northern Holy Army from Youwu Mansion in the way of the next transfer, and the official rank does not seem to be low, at least at the level of a general." ”

"Fifteen-year-old Lang will ......"

Chang Mingqi was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said directly: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I will find a way to notify the north, Xiaohong Xiaolan, don't worry, as long as we have the news of the knife, we will definitely ensure his safety." ”

Hong'er and Lan'er nodded gratefully.

"It's almost time, so I'll go first. ”

Chang Mingqi got up and looked out the window, the bustling street market and the world inside the box seemed to be separated by a film, and it had become fragile at the moment.

Du Tianwen was not surprised, but when Chang Mingqi walked to the entrance of the box, he suddenly called him out.

"Uncle Chang. ”

"Any questions?"

"It's fine. Du Tianwen smiled, but his eyes were very calm: "I just want to ask...... He, still no news?"

Chang Mingqi's face changed slightly, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

His figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the box, and Du Tianwen's face became a little gloomy.

"Childe, Brother Qiao is a natural person, he will definitely wake up. ”

Hong'er stepped forward and whispered comfort in Du Tianwen's ear.

Du Tianwen turned his head to look at her and Lan'er, and then laughed: "You're right, that guy's life is very hard, he has been waiting for more than three years, and he is not in a hurry for this moment." ”

He turned around and picked up his teacup, raised his glass and looked out the window at the market, smiling.

"When he wakes up, the situation in the empire will begin to change. ”

On the street outside the restaurant, the stall owners who make steamed buns, the buyers in the cloth shop, and some people who have stayed for a long time seem to be staring at the location of the restaurant casually, but suddenly at this moment, Qi Qi felt a flower in front of him.

Looking at it again, the restaurant has not changed, the window is still open, and the good boy in the box changes wine to tea, while laughing with the maid behind him, while pointing to the scenery of the imperial capital, revealing a pleasing appearance.

Seeing this scene, these people's eyes lowered again, and they all seemed to just inadvertently skimming over.

......

In July, the fourth year of the Holy Calendar, the situation on the battlefield in the Northern Regions finally changed.

Due to the deployment of the Ghost Clan Combined Army on the border of Qinglong and Vermilion Bird, the Western Saint Army of the Qinglong Domain has never succeeded in breaking through the pass to aid the Vermilion Bird Domain, but at the beginning of the year, the imperial capital finally issued a military order, ordering the Eastern Saint Army to divide 500,000 troops from the direction of the imperial capital to enter the battlefield in the Northern Regions to strengthen the defensive force of the Vermilion Bird Domain.

With the addition of the Western Saint Army, the forms on the battlefield of the Uyghur Temple and Yuma Town were immediately reversed, and the human side gradually regained its disadvantage.

The battle between the two sides had been going on for a year, and the Ghost Clan Alliance immediately sensed the changes in the Northern Saint Army and quickly made corresponding changes.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, the Ghost Clan Coalition Army withdrew from the first-level front, and at the same time abandoned the Qinglong Vermilion Bird border line, and the large army advanced eastward, directly defeating the Northern Saint Army's deployment in the middle of the Vermilion Bird Domain.

This move quickly aroused the vigilance of the Northern Saint Army, because the rout of the eastern army meant the fact that the ghost clan alliance would come into contact with the demon beast tide invading in the east.

In the eyes of the people of the empire, whether it is the dead clan, the ghost clan, the demon clan, or the spirit clan, they are all brute beasts that intend to destroy the empire, and once the ghost clan alliance comes into contact with the demon clan beast tide, then the next thing the Northern Saint Army will face is likely to be the joint attack of the two armies.

In fact, the practices of the Ghost Clan Alliance and the Demon Clan Beast Tide are exactly the same as the Empire's speculation.

On August 18, the demon clan from the eastern plains finally gave up their guerrilla warfare moves, joined the ghost clan coalition army, and began to jointly launch an attack on the battlefield in the northern regions.

The combination of the two forces suddenly increased the pressure on the Northern Saint Army, but fortunately, the Western Saint Army of the Blue Dragon Domain was able to join, and the confidence of the Northern Saint Army also changed, and under the leadership of Lan Jue, they gathered on the first-level defense line, and the battle with the Brute Beast Alliance was already at a point of imminent breakout.

At this time, in the Southern Wilderness, in the capital of war, there was finally a sensation in the city.

......

The capital of war.

In the Holy Land, countless people crowded in the square, their eyes all facing one direction, that is, the Temple of the God of War, which had been sealed for three years.

On this day, the Temple of the God of War was reopened.

As the supreme leader of the war capital, the figure of the 'God of War' Ding Yao is standing on the highest point of the square, overlooking the tens of thousands of soldiers below.

His eyes were cold, and when everyone was quiet, the flat lip line opened and closed.

"The capital of war, the founding of the God of War Army, the first battle - Xuanwu Domain, the Spirit Army!"

The sound spread in all directions, and after a silence, a monstrous sound sounded.

"The Ares Army!"

"Invincible!"
