Chapter 165: Eagle Raising Army

Seeing that the two grandmaster-level masters on the other side were busy directing the troops to attack the Golden Eagle Empire army opposite, the Wild Lion no longer hesitated, and rushed out with a group of his subordinates, heading straight to where Agucos was.

The two innate warriors guarding Agukoth only felt a sudden burst of sand and stones flying in front of them, and then a huge black shadow rushed in front of them, about to take Agukoth from them.

The two immediately understood that someone was coming to rescue the enemy commander, so they struggled to wave the weapon in their hands, trying to force the other party back, while shouting for help from their comrades.

As a result, as soon as the two of them swung their weapons, they were shocked by a huge force, and a powerful internal force also hit them along the weapons, causing the two of them to spit blood on the spot and suffer extremely serious internal injuries.

Under the serious injury, where could the two of them stop each other from saving people, they could only watch as Agucos was grabbed by the other party, thrown on the back of a huge flying beast, and then quickly walked away.

Guo Dafu, who was chasing Gu He, was also shocked when he found that an enemy grandmaster-level master had emerged from the rear, and immediately gave up continuing to pursue Gu He, but turned back to the military formation, in case the enemy's grandmaster-level master appeared again and launched a sneak attack.

With Guo Dafu's guard, the other soldiers couldn't help but feel at ease, and continued to follow Mohu to attack the enemy formation.

At this time, Ling Zhi also led the cavalry and chariot troops to the flank of the Golden Eagle Empire's army, and immediately launched an attack.

The morale of the Golden Eagle Empire's army was not high, but at this time, when they saw that their princess actually led a cavalry unit to raid them, they had no fighting spirit at all, and many soldiers chose to surrender directly.

Above the sky, Agucos, who had just been rescued by the wild lion, watched the army below quickly rout, and couldn't help but close his eyes in despair, you must know that in order to gather this million army, Ling Feng had transferred more than half of the elite of the Golden Eagle Empire, but this million army was buried so quickly in his hands, what face did he have to go back to see the other party!

In desperation, Agucos pulled a dagger from the lion's waist and was about to stab himself in the heart.

"Hey! What are you doing, old man! It's better to die than to live! Fortunately, the mad lion was quick-eyed, and immediately grabbed the opponent's wrist when he saw this, and then snatched the dagger again.

"Huh! Buried the millions of elite troops of the empire at once, even if I go back, I will not escape death! It's better to end it by yourself now, so that at least you can end up happy! Badly wounded, Agucos was unable to reclaim the dagger, and could only lament in despair.

"I don't think you can be blamed for that! It's that the enemy is too strong, you have done your best, I believe that your little emperor will understand! The mad lion comforted on the side, but he probably didn't believe it, after all, he lost so many elite soldiers at once, and he always had to find someone to be responsible for this defeat, and Agucos, the commander of the army, was obviously the most suitable person.

Soon after the Wild Lion left with Agucos, the army of the Golden Eagle Empire was completely defeated, and due to the existence of Ling Zhi, the princess of the Empire, many soldiers chose to surrender to it directly.

In this way, after Guo Dafu's battle, it is estimated that the number of soldiers under his command will not be less, but will increase.

After the battle was completely over, Guo Dafu counted that there were as many as 300,000 soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire who surrendered directly, and about 120,000 were captured, not to mention that the rest were killed or escaped in chaos.

The 120,000 enemy troops who were captured, Guo Dafu was ready to be sent to build roads and mines first, just like when he was on Roaring Island, and then work hard for a few months to renovate them.

As for those soldiers of the Golden Eagle Empire who surrendered directly, Guo Dafu planned to form a special Eagle Yang Army, which was led by Ling Zhi, the princess of the Golden Eagle Empire.

In doing so, first of all, it can appease the hearts of those surrendering troops, and let Ling Zhi, the princess of their own family, lead them, presumably those surrendering troops will have no resistance, let alone worry that their own princess will harm them.

Another point is that with the existence of this army, when fighting with the Golden Eagle Empire again in the future, once defeated, it will be easier for the other party to surrender, after all, with the Eagle Yang Army as a demonstration, those Golden Eagle Empire soldiers can know that if they choose to surrender directly, there will be no danger to their lives, and they can also be re-led by Princess Lingzhi, which is carefully calculated, it is not considered a betrayal of the empire, after all, Princess Lingzhi actually has the qualifications to inherit the throne of the Golden Eagle Empire. And the process of the eldest prince Ling Feng's ascension to the throne is also full of doubts, if they surrender to the princess Ling Zhi, maybe they are still setting things right!

Everyone was surprised by Guo Dafu's decision, even Ling Zhi himself. After all, these are 300,000 well-trained elite soldiers! If Ling Zhi had a different intention behind him, he could completely pull this army to divide one side!

However, although they were very surprised by Guo Dafu's decision, because of Guo Dafu's deep prestige, everyone did not dare to directly oppose it.

As for Ling Zhi, although she was surprised, she also took over this burden in order to be able to get better treatment for those surrendered soldiers.

And these 300,000 troops, although they are also well-trained, their own cultivation and equipment are too poor, far from reaching the standard of the field elite soldiers of the Qinglong Empire, so they will not be directly sent to the battlefield next, but will first be reorganized under the leadership of Ling Zhi, and fully replace the equipment of the field elite soldiers of the Qinglong Empire, and at the same time, they must also work hard to cultivate and improve their cultivation to the standard of field elite soldiers as soon as possible.

According to Guo Dafu's plan, if he can't break through to the seventh level or more within three months, then his talent will be too poor, and he will be eliminated, and then he will either become a civilian or a militia.

This time standard, Guo Dafu feels that it is still very reasonable, after all, as a soldier in the Qinglong Empire, it is basically a person who can cultivate the "Vientiane Decision", plus there are a large number of pills to assist in cultivation, and he can't cultivate to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow for three months, which is indeed too wasteful.

At the same time, this battle also made Guo Dafu see the potential of those undead warriors, although these guys are very crotch-pulling when they take out their combat power alone, especially the zombies, the agility attribute is not even comparable to ordinary people, and if you take it out alone, it is the enemy's experience baby, and you can easily deal with these slow undead creatures with kite flying.

However, after gathering on a large scale and forming a military formation, these guys are able to show extremely strong combat effectiveness, as long as the other party is not an existence whose strength exceeds their realm, then it is really difficult for anyone to fight hard and fight these zombie pikemen who are not afraid of death and are tireless.

Because of the outstanding performance of these undead warriors in battle, Guo Dafu no longer regarded them as cannon fodder, but prepared to be used as a second-line auxiliary force in the field army. Assist field troops in subsequent campaigns.

Compared to the strength of the army, the air force of the Blue Dragon Empire is a bit weak, and in this big battle, the army only killed more than 2,000 people, most of whom are still those undead soldiers.

On the other hand, the Air Force lost more than 3,000 men and more than 2,000 war beasts, three of the 12 combat airships were shot down, and five others were seriously damaged, completely losing their combat strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, Guo Dafu feels that the focus of his next work is to strengthen his air force, otherwise, the next time he continues to fight against an enemy with strong air power like the Golden Eagle Empire, the casualties will definitely be very large.

All of the above are problems that need to be solved in the military aspect, and in the civilian aspect, there are a lot of things to be solved in the future.

The first thing is to retake all the towns that were voluntarily abandoned before, so that the people can return to their respective homes.

After all, it's not a problem to gather so many people in a few big cities all the time! With so many people, the amount of food that needs to be consumed every day alone is an astronomical amount.

If so many people have to rely on Guo Dafu all the time to support him, then he will basically not be able to continue to launch an expedition to the interior of the Central Continent.

So then the people find a way to be self-sufficient is a problem that must be solved, and this must be done for the people to disperse again, return to their hometowns to cultivate those lands, and then either grow various crops or raise meat beasts.

And if you want those people to go to reclaim the land, the first thing that needs to be solved is security, so then Guo Dafu has to set up a large number of local garrison troops, which are specifically responsible for protecting those people in various places and preventing those fierce beast empires from sending troops to sneak into the territory again to carry out sneak attacks.

In addition, he also has to produce some advanced agricultural tools to improve the production efficiency of those people, the various agricultural tools used by the people on the Xuangu Continent are really too backward, and I don't know if it is because the upper echelons deliberately suppressed the development of science and technology, or because this world has extraordinary power, most of the smart people put their wisdom on how to cultivate and create various martial arts techniques, which has led to the stagnation of the scientific and technological level of these people.

In short, with the end of this war, Guo Dafu not only failed to be idle, but even became busier, dealing with various affairs every day, he needed to be busy until about eleven or twelve o'clock, and he had to get up at six o'clock the next day to continue to be busy, if it weren't for his high cultivation, it would be really difficult to hold on.

After experiencing these in person, Guo Dafu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the ancients said that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to rule the world! If you want to be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, it's really too tiring, or it's more comfortable to be the kind of faint monarch who doesn't care about anything!

Unlike Guo Dafu, after the end of the battle, the other soldiers were all given a long vacation and could have a good rest.

In order to vent the fatigue and tension of the previous wars, many soldiers began to throw money everywhere and wantonly eat, drink and have fun in various places.

In the face of these soldiers who spend money lavishly, merchants everywhere are also very welcome.

Zhang Tongtian, as a senior officer who already has the rank of major general and the title of knight chief, is also deeply touched by this, every time he passes by those stores on the street, the merchants in those shops, when they see themselves, they are like seeing their own father, and they all invite him into the store with a warm face.

However, as a senior military officer, Zhang Tongtian was also assigned a lot of tasks by Guo Dafu, so he didn't have much time to spend and have fun every day.

But when he went home today, he happened to be bumped into by an old friend from the past, and then pulled him hard, saying that he was going to watch some exciting show.

As soon as Zhang Tongtian heard what the other party said, he knew that the other party was going to pull him to where he was, he asked curiously, and found that many soldiers had gone to these places to play, and some soldiers had even spent their military salaries in these places.

This made Zhang Tongtian feel that the problem was very serious, not to mention that these places would quickly empty the soldiers' money bags, let's just say that if you go to those places to play, if you are not careful, you may be infected with all kinds of strange diseases, and once these diseases are spread among the troops, it will not seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the troops!

In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Tongtian casually found an excuse and shirked his friend's kindness, so he quickly came to the City Lord's Mansion in Shark Castle City, reported the matter to Guo Dafu, and at the same time explained his worries to the other party.
