Chapter 251: The Puppet Army Surrenders

The two demon warriors pursued and killed by Hu Sanniang were two of the demon masters who escaped in a panic, these two demons had the combat power of the innate sixfold martial artist, and they were indeed not considered weak, otherwise they would not be able to escape such a long distance under the pursuit of Hu Sanniang and the complete parrot beast.

And as those demon warriors fled one after another, the remaining puppet army of the Xuangu Continent was miserable, and they lost their unified command all of a sudden, and they didn't know whether to retreat or stick to the spot for a while.

And after Luo Chenguang sent troops to surround the camps of those puppet armies, he immediately sent Black Panther and other natives of the Xuangu Continent to persuade them to surrender, you must know that the strength of these puppet armies in the Xuangu Continent is not weak, the worst ones have the combat power equivalent to the Ming Jin martial arts, and there are thousands of magicians in them, and the master of this profession, the Qinglong Empire, has not yet! So Luo Chenguang really wanted to recruit these puppet soldiers.

However, at this time, there were still more than a million troops left in these puppet armies, where would it be so easy to surrender, and many of them were loyal to the devil and firmly believed that those demon masters would soon send troops to rescue them, as long as they held out in the camp for a few days.

After persuading him to surrender for a whole day without any effect, Luo Chenguang could only reluctantly launch an attack first, weakening some of the enemy's forces and then seeing.

In this day's time, some magic energy cannons were transported from the rear, plus the ones that were originally stored, the number was already more than a hundred, Luo Chenguang pulled them all out, and bombarded those pseudo-military camps first.

And the magicians in those camps really didn't sit still, and immediately set up a magic shield to defend against the energy beams shot out by the magic cannons, and at the same time, some magicians began to use various magic to fight back, and the two sides fought back and forth for a while.

Luo Chenguang looked at this scene and felt that his goal had been achieved, his purpose was very simple, that is, to consume the mana of those magicians, so that when he launched a general attack, those magicians would no longer be able to use those powerful magic to kill and injure his own soldiers.

You must know that many of the high-level magic of those magicians are range-killing, if these mages still retain enough mana when they launch a general attack, then their own soldiers will definitely suffer a lot of casualties under the bombardment of these magics, which Luo Chenguang does not want to see, so he will start an artillery battle with the enemy first to consume the mana of those mages.

Those magicians on the other side should have guessed his intentions, but this is a conspiracy, and it is useless for the other party to guess it, after all, can the other party really watch his own magic cannons continue to fire, killing and injuring the puppet soldiers in the camp! If the other party really does this, I am afraid that the puppet soldiers in this camp will soon raise the white flag and surrender because of the heavy casualties, and then only those mages will be left, and it will be difficult for them to turn the storm. After all, according to the Black Panther, the transcendent professions of this Xuangu Continent are quite biased, take these mages as an example, they only cultivate spiritual power and mana, and do not pay attention to physical training, so the physical bodies of these mages are very fragile, and their melee abilities are extremely weak.

The bombardment lasted for more than three days, and it was often the case that the latter batch of magic cannons would be sent to the front line to replace the old ones that had been overheated, in order to keep the fire continuous.

Those puppet army mages were able to occasionally fight back on the first day, but as the mana consumption became greater and larger, they had no power to fight back in the next two days, and could only rely on those magic shields to support themselves, hoping that those demons would be able to send reinforcements in time.

Unfortunately, the demons let them down, and they didn't see a single demon come to their aid for three days. At this time, Luo Chenguang had already obtained a large number of magic energy weapons from the rear, in addition to hundreds of magic energy cannons, he had also armed 150,000 hoplites armed with magic energy rifles and magic grenades.

After three days of shelling, he saw that the mana of those puppet army magicians had almost been consumed, so he let the 150,000 elite hoplites attack.

These soldiers of the Qinglong Empire who are equipped with magic energy weapons, this time they are actually using the fighting style of the firearms unit, and those puppet troops in the Xuangu Continent have never seen this kind of fighting before, and they are still gathered together, wanting to continue to defend in the camp, but they were killed and wounded all over the ground by magic rifles and magic grenades, and many camps were captured in less than an hour, you must know that there are at least tens of thousands of puppet soldiers in each of these camps!

After being wiped out by more than 300,000 horses in one go by the Qinglong Empire, those puppet soldiers finally understood that they couldn't hold on, and the reinforcements of the demon master probably wouldn't come.

In order to survive, those puppet soldiers attacked and killed those generals who still wanted to continue to hold on that night under the cover of night, and then officially surrendered to the Blue Dragon Empire.

Ye Tianlong also quickly learned of this big victory in the rear, in the final stage of this battle, because the Qinglong Empire has many soldiers equipped with magic weapons, using the fighting style of firearms troops, so the casualties are very small, only more than 1,000 people, on the contrary, the puppet army from the Xuangu Continent, more than 300,000 casualties, and more than 800,000 chose to surrender directly, among which there are more than 3,000 magicians, which also makes the Qinglong Empire obtain a large number of mages at once, Ye Tianlong is already preparing to transfer some mages from them to serve as teachers, and establish a special mage school in the country, so that children and adults who are not talented in martial arts can learn magic, so that they may be able to achieve something.

In addition, from the mouths of these mages, Ye Tianlong also learned the approximate strength division of the mage professional system in the Xuangu Continent, the most basic of which is the mage apprentice, who can only release some zero-level magic with very low power, which is not much stronger than ordinary people, and then the junior mage, which is considered a preliminary entry, equivalent to a bright martial artist, followed by an intermediate mage, equivalent to a dark martial artist, and then a senior mage, equivalent to a chemical martial artist. However, although the realm is comparable, the attack power of the mage is far stronger than that of the martial artist from the early stage, but it has the shortcomings of weak melee ability and relatively brittle body.

After the high-level mage, there is the Great Magician, which is equivalent to the Innate One-Fold and Innate Quadruple Martial Artists, and after that there is the Magician, which is equivalent to the Innate Five-Fold to the Innate Nine-Fold Martial Artist. And this time, the strongest magician who was captured by the Qinglong Empire was the realm of magicians, after all, the stronger magicians belonged to the third-order masters, except for those who surrendered to the demons, the others had been killed or imprisoned by the demons.

The third-order mages are called magisters and archmagists, where the magister is equivalent to the martial artist from the first to the fourth level of the grandmaster, and the great magister is equivalent to the martial artist from the fifth to the ninth level of the grandmaster.

After that, there is the Divine Descent Master, which is equivalent to a great grandmaster-level martial artist. As for the more powerful mages, they already belong to the path to godhood, which is divided into demigods and true god stages, and there are only five demigod mages and one true god mage in the Xuangu Continent over the years. There are only two demigod mages alive, and both of them have been sealed and imprisoned by the demons.

Compared with mages, there are more martial artists in the Xuangu Continent, this is because martial arts are easier to get started than magic, if only one person with mage qualifications can be found out of ten thousand people, then at least one hundred martial arts seeds with good qualifications can be found, and the rest of the people are not unable to cultivate martial arts, but like the Xinghan Empire, it is basically impossible for people with too poor qualifications to break through to the innate realm.

On the Xuangu Continent, because most of the warriors use swords, the division of the martial arts realm is also named after the sword, the most basic of which is the swordsman apprentice, followed by the junior swordsman, intermediate swordsman and senior swordsman, which is equivalent to the bright strength martial artist, dark strength martial artist and chemical strength martial artist who have inherited the martial arts on the side of the Xinghan Empire. Like the martial arts on the side of the Xinghan Empire, most people with poor martial arts talent can only stop at the high-level swordsman realm in their lifetime.

On top of the senior swordsman, there is the great swordsman, which is equivalent to the innate one-fold martial artist, followed by the junior swordsman, the intermediate swordsman and the senior swordsman, among which the junior swordsman is equivalent to the innate two-fold to the congenital quadruple martial artist, the intermediate swordsman is equivalent to the innate five-fold to the innate seven-fold martial artist, and the senior swordsman is equivalent to the innate eight-fold to the congenital nine-fold major consummation martial artist.

As for the martial artists whose strength has reached the third order, they are called Sword Venerables, which are the primary sword venerable, the intermediate sword venerable, and the senior sword venerable.

And the martial artists of the Xuangu Continent whose strength has reached the fourth order are called Sword Saints, which are junior Sword Saints, intermediate Sword Saints and advanced Sword Saints.

The martial artists of the Xuangu Continent whose strength has reached the fifth order have also embarked on the road to becoming gods like mages, and they have demigod combat power, so they are called sword gods, because the best qualifications and the smartest brains in the Xuangu Continent have basically gone to be mages, resulting in dozens of sword gods among the martial artists in the Xuangu Continent, and the number of sword gods still alive is also seven, and they have also been sealed and imprisoned by demons, wanting to wear down the will of these martial arts masters little by little, and finally turn them into obedient thugs.

And those puppet armies in the Xuangu Continent, although they are said to be puppet armies, but the quality of the army is really good, among the puppet armies that surrendered this time, in terms of mages, eleven magicians, eighty-nine great magicians, five hundred senior mages, one thousand intermediate mages, and one thousand fifteen hundred junior mages.

In terms of martial artists, there are 100 senior swordsmen, 500 intermediate swordsmen, 1,000 junior swordsmen, 3,000 great swordsmen, 56,000 senior swordsmen, 120,000 intermediate swordsmen, and 680,000 junior swordsmen. It can be said that it occupies most of the strength of the puppet army.

Some of the remaining other professions in the Xuangu Continent are relatively out-of-the-way, basically adding up to no more than a thousand, and many of them are priest professions, with more than 1,200 people, equivalent to military doctors, but they do not rely on surgery and medicine to treat wounded soldiers, but directly use special healing techniques.

Ye Tianlong let people test it and found that these priests' healing magic skills are very powerful, as long as they are not fatally injured, those priests will basically be resurrected on the spot with full blood after a healing technique, and even the broken hands and feet and damaged organs can grow back.

It's also interesting to say, the god of light that these priests believe in has been sealed and imprisoned by the demons at this time, but because it has not completely fallen, these priests can still use various divine arts, if these priests can't use divine magic one day, it proves that the god of light has either been killed by the demons, or has fallen into the abyss, and the demons are in the same stream,

Having collected so many puppet troops at once, in order to avoid these guys from rioting, Luo Chenguang quickly sent them back to the Blue Dragon Empire in batches for reorganization.

At the same time, he asked the local side to build some space gates in those harbors as well, so that those warships could be transported to the real world. Because the YX county where he is located at this time is actually not far from the sea, he will continue to march to the sea in the future, and also recover some harbors on the real world side as a stronghold of his own navy in the real world.

As long as he waits for the navy to be in place, he can go hand in hand with the waterway, continue to launch a fierce attack, and completely take the entire territory of J Province within three months, after all, Luo Chenguang has dealt with those demons many times, and knows that these guys are very strong in land and air battles, but they are very strained in naval battles, and their navy is definitely not very strong, with their own steel warships, they should be able to easily defeat the demons' navy.

After Ye Tianlong saw the battle plan submitted by Luo Chenguang, he felt that its feasibility was still very high, so he immediately began to mobilize manpower to build space gates on several ports on the mainland of the Blue Dragon Empire. At the same time, it also made shipyards around the country continue to build all kinds of warships at full capacity, after all, most of the warships were sent to the real world at that time, and the Qinglong Empire could not be without a powerful fleet to protect the native territory of the virtual world!

And in the real world, as Luo Chenguang defeated the demon army that came to conquer head-on, it can be said that his reputation among the human survivors in the real world has been greatly enhanced, and in the process of leading the army to the nearest port, there are constantly small groups of human survivors who don't know where to come out of nowhere, wanting to join his army.

For most of these human survivors who didn't even have the combat power of Ming Jin martial artists, Luo Chenguang didn't look down on them at all, so naturally he wouldn't let them join the army, his choice was to send them back to the mainland for screening first, and then let Ye Tianlong hire them after making sure that there were no demon spies among them.
