In late August of 784, the Far Eastern Army, under the leadership of Zi Chuanxiu, crossed the thousand-year-old Tianqian Mountains and marched to the main battlefield, with a total of 150,000 horsemen and infantry horses. The sudden advance of the Far Eastern troops hit the weakness of the demons' defense against emptiness, and the demons painstakingly planned to build a northeast security zone for half a year, and they were torn apart by Zi Chuanxiu in just two weeks.

Sending troops from the province of Wag, the Far Eastern troops swept the three northeastern provinces with a storm and clouds. In the face of the fierce strength of the orcs, the demon garrisons scattered all over the country were beaten to pieces, and the wolves fled. And the troops of the Sixteenth Legion set up by the demons in various places did not play a role at all - no, it should be said that those human soldiers still played a certain role, but it was the opposite. Often, before the Far Eastern Army arrived, these human puppet armies killed the demon defenders and opened the city gate to welcome the orcs in.

On September 5, Viscount Gosen, the governor of the Demon Clan, encountered the vanguard of the Far Eastern Army led by Zichuan Xiu himself, and was defeated and killed.

On September 7, Ankara Governor Ye Hua led his army to encounter the vanguard of the Far East in Ebony Town, and fought fiercely all night, more than 4,000 demon soldiers were killed, and Ye Hua was killed in battle. Four days later, the capital of Ankara province was recovered.

In the capital of Ankara, Shikawa Shu gathered the main forces of the Far Eastern Army. After analyzing the shape, the Far Eastern Army decisively divided its forces.

Zi Chuanxiu, Luo Jie, Bai Chuan, and Lin Bing each led their soldiers and horses, attacked everywhere, liberated the city and countryside all the way, and exterminated the garrison of the demon clan. From Bit Dama, from Dama to Ankara, and from Ankara suddenly attacked everywhere, the Far Eastern army sang triumphant songs all the way, and the demons swept away the clouds.

If there is a powerful demon army nearby, this stupid policy of dividing troops is bound to kill itself, but at this moment, the main force of the demon clan is blocking Stirling's advance against Dìdū, and the rest are concentrated on the Dìdū front line to confront the human alliance forces of Zi Chuanning and Liufeng Frost, and the active and active attack strategy in the Far East, Duck is powerless to stop.

In less than a month, four of the six northeastern provinces had been recovered by the Far Eastern Army. Every Far Eastern Army declared itself to be the vanguard of the main force of the Far East when it marched, and a powerful follow-up force followed it, and the great army followed! This statement was spread everywhere, so that the number of troops entering the customs was rapidly doubled, and an astonishing statement went up:

"The Far Eastern Army is coming! 400,000 half-orcs have been killed!"

The news spread as soon as it struck, and the terrifying shouts echoed in the demon occupation area, thinking of the half-orc soldiers who had always been known as strong, the demon soldiers all felt chills in their hearts. The news spread like lightning, along Bartley all the way to the inland, to Dak, to Oss, to Dìdū, and to the Northwest Camp (where the weathered Northwest Coalition garrison was). No one doubts the truth of this statement, because the Far East is known as a million-strong army, and in the rebellion of the Northwest Frontier Army fifty years ago, the then Far Eastern commander led more than 400,000 Far Eastern troops to rush back to Dìdū for reinforcements, and finally locked the war situation.

Will the victory of more than 50 years ago be repeated this time?

Hearing this news, the officers and soldiers of the demon clan all shuddered, and those human scum who surrendered to the demon clan lost their souls, and they already had a premonition that the future of their master would not be very good.

"The Far Eastern Commander is back! Our men are back!"

News is like a carrier pigeon with its wings spreading, soaring over the occupied territory. The soldiers and civilians in the occupied areas who heard the news all wept bitterly: "Our army has finally returned! The liberation of the motherland is just around the corner!" Hearing the good news of Zichuan Xiu coming one after another, the human soldiers and civilians raised their eyebrows, and the people were full of excitement, and people firmly believed that victory was just around the corner, and the churches everywhere rang the bells of joy.

"The Far Eastern soldiers are coming! He's coming!" At the head of the city, looking at the eastern sky, the eyes of the young general in military uniform flashed with tears, and her body trembled slightly with excitement: "He hurried all the way and attacked the city, who is that for?"

During those two weeks, Zi Chuanning was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. Every time the victories of the Far Eastern Army came, she was fascinated by joy. Throughout the day, she would suddenly burst into tears for no reason, and she would suddenly and subtly smile sweetly. In the eyes of his subordinates, after knowing the news of Zichuan Xiu's entry into the customs, this previously methodical commander of the zhōngyāng army simply turned into an inexplicably ingenious madman.

The love of romance is the day of every young girl, and the hard years and iron-blooded tribulations of trapping dìdū have not been able to wear out the girl's longing for roses. At this moment, Zi Chuanning is simply at the peak of happiness. Not only does he learn of his sweetheart's arrival, but also because the way he arrives is so romantic: Prince Charming leads thousands of troops to save the beautiful princess from the castle surrounded by demons, which is like a realistic version of countless romantic fairy tales.

The only thing that made Zichuan Ning fly in the ointment was that the speed of Zichuan Xiu's mount was too slow, too slow, too slow! She couldn't understand that since he had 400,000 male soldiers, why didn't he pounce forward at once and sweep away the demon army that straddled between the two, but he was grinding with the small demon army in the northeastern province that was deviating from the main battlefield, and never dared to approach dìdū?

"The cowhide blew so much that I thought it was real. ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled bitterly, he knew his own affairs, "400,000 half-orc army", that was blown out. If you really want to face off against the Demon God Emperor, your own soldiers and horses are still not enough. In order to increase the number of troops, everywhere he went, Zichuan Xiu always made a big publicity, and he had a pardon issued by the Supervision Department in his hand. Except for Ma Wei, as long as he killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, the soldiers of the family who had defected to the enemy could be pardoned as long as they were lost. Due to his prominent status as the leader of the Zichuan family, no one doubted the truth of this sentence. As a result, the news spread widely, causing a great sensation among the demon garrisons in various places, and the repercussions caused were not only limited to the northeastern provinces, but even spread to Duck City.

The human soldiers who surrendered to the demons, their submission to the demons was purely out of fear. Now the shape is different, the human army is counterattacking, the demon army is in decline, many officers and soldiers of the Sixteenth Legion who were recruited fled at night, and the wave of deserters even spread to Venari, Gute and other provinces where the demon army is heavily stationed. The morale and morale of the Sixteenth Army Corps were so corrupted that entire regiments and entire groups of soldiers often disappeared in the course of carrying out their missions. Some of them were killed by the guerrillas who resisted the demons, but many more escaped on their own. So much so that Ma Wei had to invite the regular demon army to guard the periphery of the human barracks, and all human soldiers who left the barracks without permission at night would be killed.

The demons are struggling on one side, but Zichuan Xiu is growing on his side.

Every night, people who signed up to join the army formed a long line in front of the barracks in the Far East. Among them, there are people in the occupied areas, but more of them are deserters from the Sixteenth Legion of the Demon Race. In order to win the trust of the Far Eastern army, they brought a bloody gift, that is, the severed head of the demon race, in order to prove that they had indeed broken with the enemy and served the motherland wholeheartedly. Soon, even the civilians followed their example and sought out the heads of the demons as their greeting gifts, but their intentions were completely different from those of the deserters, they wanted to prove that they were still brave and worthy of recruitment by the Far Eastern Army. Soon, a hill of demon heads was piled up at the gate of the camp, which was magnificent.

Zichuan Hidemi had an idea and issued a proclamation, announcing that anyone who brought the head of the demon clan as a gift could join the Far Eastern Army without taking the test. This news caused a great sensation, and after being dispersed by Zichuan Xiu's army, the demon routs from all over the country were scattered in the cities and villages. Most of them have become gangsters who rob homes and houses, scourge one side and haunt everywhere. And Zichuan Xiu didn't have the time to conquer them for a while. But since the announcement was issued, the heads of the demon clan have suddenly become golden! Those soldiers of the 16th Legion who rebelled, seeing that the power of the demon clan was crumbling, who didn't want to rejoin the Zichuan Army? It's just a pity that there is no way. Now, Zi Chuanxiu's proclamation pointed them to the bright road: "I want to do it anyway, okay! Just kill a demon clan!"

Overnight, countless hunting squads were formed. Everywhere in the city and countryside, the demon soldiers were horrified to find that they had been turned from abusers into prey. As soon as the news of the demons spread, countless hunting squads immediately swarmed in, and a large group of middle-aged men with knives and guns pursued the demons and routed the demons, and the ferocity was unprecedented! Even the simple villagers were driven by this heat, and picked up scythes and hoes to chase the demons -- they had tasted the sweetness! A demon head could be sold for five silver coins, which was much more cost-effective than farming! And as the demon gangs everywhere were exterminated one by one, seeing that the supply of goods was getting less and less, the price continued to rise, reaching the sky-high price of fifteen silver coins and a demon soldier!

The interests are moving, and seeing the high profits, people are even more excited, and even a mercenary group with the main business of hunting demons has appeared. Soon, the demon rout scattered all over the city and countryside was wiped out by the enthusiastic people who wholeheartedly surrendered to the Far Eastern Army, and the people who came one step later were so desperate that they wanted to jump over the wall: "You kill all the demons, what can I do!" - Fortunately, they still have a way out, although in the area occupied by the Far Eastern Army, the demons are difficult to find, but in the places where the Far Eastern Army has not yet killed, there are a lot of demons! Provoking Dak's demon army is looking for death, but it is not difficult to find trouble with the demon garrisons in some small places and attack some lone demon sentries and scouts.

Compared to the beginning of the crossing of the Guqi Mountains, the strength of the Far Eastern army is much stronger, thanks to the eclectic absorption of troops by Zichuan Xiu. As long as he comes to join him, no matter what his identity, whether he has been a rebel or has surrendered to the demon clan, as long as he is a sturdy soldier who meets the specifications, Zichuan Xiu will accept all the orders.

Such a large-scale absorption of human rebels without distinction made Lin Bing very worried. She was afraid that such a mixture of fish and dragons would reduce the Suzhì and combat effectiveness of the Far Eastern team, and strongly persuaded Zi Chuanxiu to screen the recruited soldiers. Zi Chuanxiu just laughed: "I even dare to accept Lu Di and Ross, two demon nobles with bloody hands, am I still afraid that the lost children will go home?"

"But many of those rebels had the blood of our own family. Also, what if there are spies sent by the demons among them?"

"Investigating the culprits and punishing the culprits is a nerve-wracking thing after the war. But right now, no matter what he's done before, combat power is the most valuable. Wouldn't it be stupid to turn those people who are hovering between us and the demons if we don't take them, and then turn the power that could have been used into enemies! As for the spies, I believe that there are very few humans who are willing to work for the demons. Even if I had, would I have turned away thousands of qualified soldiers for fear of a few spies?"

And so it was settled. No matter what the quality is, at least the number of soldiers and horses under Zichuan Xiu's command is greatly considerable. With his new recruits, Shikawa Shu formed six human infantry divisions. Naturally, the discipline and combat effectiveness of the new unit are not comparable to the Xiuzi battalion and the half-orc team, but Zichuan Xiuke is not worried at all: the original Xiuzi battalion was all composed of villains, hooligans and rebels, and Su zhì is much worse than now.

After marching from the Far East for a long time, Zichuan Xiu had never fought such a smooth battle. The march was as smooth as a rehearsed exercise, and as long as he pretended to intimidate, there would always be troops loyal to the Zichuan family in the city who surrendered to the city; during the march, there was no need to recruit, as long as the eagle flag was displayed in front of the queue, and immediately, whether it was a farmer in the countryside, a woodcutter in the mountains and forests, or a hawker in the village or town, he would consciously come to act as a guide and spy for the army. Everywhere they went, there were always local people who came spontaneously with money, food, and supplies to comfort their own troops. Although the appearance of the orcs is a little fierce, this does not affect the people's love for this powerful army in the slightest, nor can it deter the enthusiasm of the people.

Everywhere the army went, it caused a stir in the area. Residents and residents within a radius of hundreds of miles poured out of their nests, and old people, children, men, and women crowded around the edge of the camp, just to see the legendary Far Eastern Army that had won a hundred battles. Of course, the barracks were heavily guarded, and they could see nothing but the sentinels on duty. But that's enough to satisfy them. Looking at the thick thighs and arms of the half-orcs, the fierce eyes and gaze, looking at their fur clothes full of wild xìng, and the half-human tall and heavy mace in their hands, the onlookers widened their eyes in surprise, thinking that they had seen a monster.

Although they are of the same race, the people's feelings towards the orc soldiers and the demon soldiers are completely different. The demons are the most vicious invaders, the murderers of their relatives and children, and the orcs in front of them are the warriors under the command of the Far Eastern Commanders, although their faces are terrifying, they are their own family, and they are here to protect their own army!

Seeing the sentry standing still, the people were getting bolder and louder, and as they stood closer and closer, several naughty children even ran to the sentry's feet and watched curiously. The half-orc, who was impatiently watched, finally became angry, and he roared, and the mace slammed into the ground fiercely, and the ground buzzed and vibrate: "Go away!

"Wow~~" The crowd dispersed like water, and the few people who were closest were so frightened that they were scared and cried, and they ran away from the ground, but soon, they gathered again in the distance to watch.

"So fierce, so fierce!"

In the crowd, exclamations came one after another: "What a fierce warrior! With such a hero, we will definitely be able to clean up the demons!"

"Look at him like this, I don't know how many demon soldiers he killed!"

Of course, not all the people who came to the barracks came to watch the majesty of the orcs. As the temporary camp of the army, countless people came from all over the world to see Zichuan Xiu, they were the representatives of the local elected people, from those cities and villages still occupied by the demons, and their purpose was to beg the Far Eastern commanders to send troops to rescue their hometown.

"We are willing to give money and food, we are willing to give people, as long as you need it, we are willing to provide anything, even if we burn the house to your soldiers and horses to keep warm!

The residents wept all over the place, crying about the tyrannical rule of the demons everywhere, and the cries were heard in the military camp at night. They say that the demons are greedy to the point of madness, and they have looted almost everything that can be looted in the cities and villages, so that the demon soldiers are fed and drunk, while the people starve to death in the streets and alleys, and survive under the brutal rule of the enemy. Because of the suspicion that the residents secretly connected with the Zichuan army, the demons had to openly kill people every day in order to deter the disgruntled people and maintain their shaky rule. Because they had a hunch, this was their last chance to go crazy, and they peeled off a warm face in disguise, and the atrocities of the demon clan came more cruelly than usual, more full of beasts, and unscrupulous.

At first, Shikawa Xiu was also interested in meeting the delegates, listening to their cries, and shedding tears for them with sympathy. But no amount of sympathy can withstand such a toss, there are too many representatives from all over the world who come to see them, such as Bartley, such as Gut, such as Venari, and even as far as the neighboring provinces of Dìdū, Zichuan Xiu soon found that if he continued like this, he would not have to do anything, and he would cry with them all day, and many of the residents' representatives asked him to immediately send troops to expel the "demon bandits entrenched around Dak" , Zi Chuanxiu stared at him for a long time, and couldn't figure out whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

So, he generously assigned this messenger to Lin Bing and Bai Chuan, the female xìng has a natural tenderness and compassion, let them accompany the delegates to cry slowly, anyway, Zichuan Xiu is not capable of rescuing them now.

But in addition to the representatives of the public who came to ask for help, there was another group of people who came to the Zichuan Xiu camp, and they were not so easy to dismiss. They were the local Zichuan family town guards and landlord nobles, and when the demons came, they didn't have time to retreat to the rear, so they fled to the countryside and hid incognito—in their words, "hiding underground and waging an unyielding struggle against the demon occupation forces." "Now, seeing that the army of the Zichuan family has come back, these heroes who are doing unyielding struggle hurriedly crawled out of the ground. Just as the demons are besieging Dìdū, they are also besieging Zichuan Xiu, shouting that they want Zichuan Xiu to give them back their past power and wealth.

For those officials who asked to come to restore their official positions, Zichuan Xiu was easy to dismiss. Whenever someone came to him to ask for an office, he always agreed: "Okay! What position do you want? I'll give you a letter of appointment." Governor, Governor, you're welcome, just open your mouth!"

He agreed so readily, the other party was a little weak. At this time, Zichuan Xiu "accidentally" leaked a military secret: the Far Eastern army is about to go to the front, and once the main force of the army is opened, the demons are very likely to counterattack.

"Anyway, it's just a matter of signing a letter of appointment, and it doesn't cost a lot of money. Your Excellency wants to stay behind and consolidate the rear for us, this kind of patriotic jīng god who forgets his life and death is very valuable, and I am moved-" Zichuan Xiu said nonchalantly. He walked out of the tent and shouted: "Bai Chuan, quickly bring my official seal to be sealed, another one is here!"

At this time, the hero's face is often pale. After a period of Zou Youjie's reflection, they told Zichuan Xiu: "Thank you very much for the appreciation of the commander for his subordinates. I also hope to hold an official position under the command of the Commander, but I suddenly feel that I can make a greater contribution to the country by continuing to hide underground and secretly fight against the demons!"

Zi Chuanxiu was very disappointed, and that expression was as if he saw the fat fish in his hand slipping out of his fingers: "Your officer has been governing the place for a long time, and your valuable experience and talent are very much needed by our army." How about you think about it again?"

"It's really an honor for the Commander to do a little bit for the Commander. But the underground secret front really can't do without me! There, I am also organizing the people, launching propaganda, and waging an unyielding struggle against the demons! My lord, although you are in the light and I am in the dark, we are on different fronts, but we are also fighting against the demons! Wait until the day of victory, let's meet again!"

At this point, the indomitable warrior who fought in the shadows shook hands warmly with Shikawa Xiu, who was fighting in the light, and said goodbye with tears in his eyes - and then the good man hurriedly ran away, and Zichuan Shu never saw him again. It is estimated that as said, he will hide in the dark and carry out an arduous struggle against the demons, and until the last demon is completely driven out of the Xichuan Continent, he will never risk crawling out of the hiding hole to reunite with Zichuan Xiu.

But when it comes to restoring the land and property of the nobles, Zichuan Xiu is not so easy to talk about. After the catastrophe, there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt. In order to encourage the people to resume production as much as possible, Shikawa Shu has decreed that people everywhere can exploit abandoned fields on their own, and whoever mines the fields and pays taxes to the army at the prescribed rate has ownership of the land.

After the proclamation was issued, in order to obtain their own grain fields and land, the peasants in various localities were unprecedentedly enthusiastic and enthusiastically engaged in production. Those destitute peasants, who had no foothold in the first place, suddenly gained their own land overnight, and they admired and appreciated Zi Chuan Xiu beyond measure, and every household offered Zi Chuan Xiu's name and tablet incense.

Originally, Zi Chuanxiu didn't have any opinions on civil affairs such as who the land belonged to, and he issued that decree just to save trouble. As long as the landlords pay their taxes on time, the local government can supply grain and grass in time, even if the land belongs to the Liufeng family Zichuan Xiu. But now that he has issued a decree, the nobles have come to say that the land is theirs and that they want to take it back, so wouldn't it be that the decree that Zichuan Xiu had just issued should be abolished? Swallow back the words that had just been exported, where would the majesty of the dignified ruler go? Moreover, this also involves a question of stability, and if the land policy that has just settled down changes again, the peasants will panic, which will affect the supply of grain and grass for the army.

"Lord Commander, this is our ancestral inheritance, can you ignore us!"

"Your Excellency, if you insist on trying to rob my family property, the consequences will be very strict! We are aristocrats, not those peasant peasants in the countryside who do not understand the rules and let others bully! If something happens to you, it will not be good!"

"Commander, be careful, not respectful......"

Pleading, righteous and stern please, threatening with a knife in his words, and the temptation of gold and silver to buy beauty, the nobles did their best against Zichuan Xiu. Seeing the people chattering around him like green-headed flies, Shikawa Xiu was deeply depressed. He suddenly hated the demons: You have slaughtered so many people, why did you leave out these most hateful guys?

In the northeastern provinces, after driving away the demons, the Far Eastern Army ruled for a while, and Zichuan Xiu covered the sky with one hand. He's a veritable overlord. And although that group of nobles turned out to be quite powerful, they had experienced the catastrophe of the demon invasion and had lost their strength, and they were not even a fart compared to Zichuan Xiu, who had heavy troops. If you change to Di Lin, these guys who don't know how to raise and dare to bother the commander will definitely encounter an "unfortunate accident caused by the rout of the demon army", but after all, Zi Chuan Xiu has not yet cultivated Di Lin's skills of killing people and killing people, and in the face of this group of nagging old nobles, the only reaction he can make is to close the camp gate and order the guards to rush out when they see them.

In fact, Zi Chuanxiu didn't have time to pay attention to the noise of this group of old nobles now, after achieving so many easy victories that even surprised him, he realized that compared to the Far East, which was only a few tens of thousands of troops, the territory of the four northeastern provinces was already too large, and he swallowed too much in one gulp, so he had to be careful of being torn out of his belly.

For himself, the top priority is not to continue to conquer cities and expand his territory, but to convert the cities, populations, and resources that have been swallowed into combat power. As a result, the King of Light was busy all day long, no longer with military affairs, but with a heart of how to quickly establish a local government that could control the situation. In one day, he appointed four governors, fifteen mayors, and thirty garrison captains in one fell swoop. Legally speaking, Zichuan Xiu is only the commander of the Far East, and he has no right to appoint officials in the southeast, and this kind of behavior is a great act of ultra vires and is suspected of rebellion.

But seeing that Zi Chuanxiu signed the letter of appointment one after another, Bai Chuan, Roger and others were silent, but even Lin Bing, an expert in military and political affairs, did not say a word to stop it, which really made Zi Chuanxiu depressed. He was ready to fight with everyone, but no one challenged him, and this feeling was as depressing as when an athlete raised jīng was told on the field: "You don't need to compare, you are the number one".

In the end, he couldn't help but ask Lin Bing: "Lord Lin, there's nothing wrong with me doing this, right?

"Of course it's not right, it's very inappropriate. Lin Bingzheng buried his head in writing the proclamation of the provisional army, and did not raise his head: "According to the rules, the northeastern provinces are subordinate to the dìdū administrative office, and the governors and governors of the provinces are appointed by the president. If you are in terms of military discipline, you have exceeded your authority. ”

"That ......"

"The general is outside, and the king's order is not obeyed. Whether everyone can live to the day when they will be held accountable by the Zichuan family -- or, whether there will be the Zichuan family at that time, this is still a question! My lord, don't hesitate, just do it, if the family dares to pursue it in the future, I will fight with you. ”

During the speech, Lin Bing never looked up, so Zi Chuanxiu couldn't see her expression clearly, and she couldn't figure out whether she was joking or serious.

Since there was no objection, Zichuan Xiu let go and did a big job in the occupied area. He appointed a governor, organized a zhèngfǔ, and issued a proclamation announcing that the place had returned to the rule of the Zichuan family. In order to make up for the vacuum of power, Zichuan Xiu selected dozens of strong officers from the Xiuzi camp to serve as governors and mayors in various places.

Before these future high-ranking officials took office, the King of Light summoned them and told them bluntly: "Ladies and gentlemen, your most important task is only one, and that is to raise food, grass and supplies for the army!"

So, the grain conscription team went out in all directions, looting everything that could be obtained. Grain, hay, cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, millet, rice, and rice poured in from all over the country, and the convoys carrying supplies were carried by the recruited men and carts along the transportation lanes of various towns to the front lines and barracks, and the convoys carrying supplies flowed endlessly, as if a new river had opened on the avenue.

Of course, the King of Light commanded the Zichuan Army, which had not committed any crimes, and was a righteous army, and it was impossible for him to do the same thing as the demons who burned, killed, plundered, and forcibly requisitioned the people, and the officers and soldiers were disciplined and conscientious, and it was impossible for them to rob the people and property. Every time they levy, they pay on the spot, and they pay military coins - Zichuan Xiu has long been prepared for large-scale expropriation, and he signed countless white slips, which are enough to collect the entire Xichuan Continent. As for how the Shikawa family will repay this rotten debt in the future, Zichuan Xiu doesn't care about it now—that's a matter of the chief of staff Goshan and her finance minister. Zichuan Xiu estimated that no matter how degraded he was, he would not fall into that position.

The mixed act of robbery and fraud in exchange for a blank sheet of paper for the fruits of the peasants' hard work brought collective shame to the top brass of the Far Eastern Army. For this stain on life, it is invariant that the top brass of the Far Eastern Army chose collective amnesia. In the memoirs of the book "Southern Expedition and Northern War: Following the Adult's Rìzi", which later became popular all over the continent, Shirakawa-sama did not mention the war in the northeast at all, which left a large gap in the later study of war history, and gave the impression to later generations that after Zichuan Shu led the Far Eastern troops to trek through the mountains and rivers and crossed the moat of the Guqi Mountains with great difficulty, he suddenly had wind under his feet or learned the method of shrinking the ground, and suddenly joined forces with Stirling in Venari. As for the white slip signed by Zichuan Xiu, it was worth a hundred times more than 50 years later, and became the first choice of collectors to collect, which was probably unimaginable to anyone at the time.

Shikawa Xiu, who owes a lot of bad debts, doesn't care about how to repay it at all, and he only cares about one thing now, and that is the battle situation. After continuous battles, he had just gained a firm foothold in the northeast, and his eyes had already turned to the battle-torn southeast battlefield and plunged into the dìdū battlefield.

What he craves most now is nothing else, exact news from the Dìdū and Oss fronts. But this is difficult, because between Zichuan Xiu and Stirling or Dìdū, there are large occupied areas and armies of the Demon Clan. Although a large number of refugees poured into the occupied areas of the Far Eastern Army, and they did bring countless messages, they often did not rely on them - not that the refugees wanted to deceive Shikawa, but on the contrary, their enthusiasm to help their own army was so high that even Shikawa was moved.

The problem is that due to the limitations of their own military qualities, ordinary people cannot know exactly what they see and hear. A battle on the scale of a patrol conflict spread through the mouths of the refugees, and it turned out to be a big fight between the Southeast Army and the main force of the demons. Much of the news is the imagination of the layman, and it often contradicts itself. This person said that Stirling's army had defeated the demons, and another person said that the southeastern army had suffered a great defeat. Those civilians who were not professionally trained, they had no way to accurately observe the size of the army, as long as the number exceeded a hundred, and in their mouths there were only the same adjective for thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand: "That's a lot! It's really a lot, it's too many to count!" - if Shikawa Shu had to rely on such information to advance, it would not be strange that he would crash headfirst into the Demon God Emperor.

It is imperative to obtain accurate intelligence. The Far Eastern Army Command has sent a large number of spies to the demon-occupied areas, but it will take time to collect, sort out and pass on information in the demon-occupied areas. While grabbing territory and consolidating his rule, Shikawa Xiu is also anxiously waiting for the news to come back.
