Chapter 580: Waiting for the enemy to die

Blindly recruiting new disciples can only alleviate the shortage of basic troops.

It's not even an immediate relief, there has to be a process in between.

Even if it is just cultivating the most basic, condensed cannon fodder, a new disciple to get started, a huge amount of resources are thrown down, and various secret methods are used to improve their cultivation, there will be a process.

The fastest speed, from beginning to end, will take thirty or forty years to be effective.

Therefore, whether it is the 10,000 new disciples recruited before, or the 5,000 new disciples recruited every year now, if you want them to come in handy, you will have to wait for another twenty years at the earliest.

This is also a long time for the Evergreen Immortal Sect.

In the years of war, every minute and every second has to be scrambled.

One step slower is likely to be a big defeat.

Therefore, Song Xiren could only hope that the remaining 19,000 old disciples in his hands could last for another twenty years, until the next batch of new disciples could come in handy.

In this way, relying on the continuous replenishment of newcomers in the future, the Evergreen Immortal Sect can barely guarantee the supply of troops, and there will be no shortage of troops.

In order to tide over this shortage of troops, Song Xiren had to desperately find new forces from other aspects to fill the shortcomings of the grassroots troops.

And the only way is naturally to consider it from the aspect of human immortals.

Frankly speaking, although in terms of middle and low-level cultivators, as well as top-level earth immortals, the Evergreen Immortal Sect had such and such shortcomings.

After the war, many losses were suffered.

But in terms of high-level immortals, the Evergreen Immortal Sect is the most confident among the three immortal sects.

There's no way, who made the number of immortals in the family already twenty-two before the war?

This kind of number is directly the first of the three.

This also made it possible for every human immortal killed on the front line, and the Evergreen Immortal Sect could immediately fill it, so that there had never been a shortage of human immortals on the front line.

After ten years of fighting, in the face of two fierce attacks, the Evergreen Immortal Sect only lost the land of the Three Kingdoms, and it was still able to maintain the stability of the overall defense line.

The bloody struggle of these high-level immortals is definitely a contribution that cannot be ignored.

However, no matter how many immortals there are, under the continuous losses, there will always be a scarcity.

As of today, the Evergreen Immortal Sect has lost five human immortals before and after, and the number of human immortals in the sect has been reduced to the number of seventeen.

And among these seventeen people, it is necessary to subtract Yang Jihua and the other three real people who stayed in the rear and were sprinting to the earth immortals with all their might.

Therefore, the Evergreen Immortal Sect is on the front line, and there are actually only fourteen human immortals left now.

However, these fourteen people have to take into account the four battlefields of the eastern region, the central region, the northwest line of the region, and the eastern front of the western region at the same time.

According to the standard of one earth immortal large array in each battlefield and three human immortals in one large array, twelve human immortals will be used in the four large arrays alone.

There are only two left.

It is also for this reason that due to the lack of human immortals, on the battlefield in recent years, like some less important war zones, the Evergreen Immortal Sect no longer forcibly requires the configuration of two human immortals in one country.

For example, in the eastern and middle regions of the domain that Taiping Dao is responsible for, each large array has been reduced to three immortals.

There is only the northwest line of the domain, and the main battle area that Song Xiren is responsible for, because he is facing the onslaught of three earth immortals in Kyushu, he has to ask for the configuration of two human immortals in one country and six human immortals in one large array.

It was entirely by relying on the pile of human lives that the three earth immortals were blocked.

It is precisely because the Evergreen Immortal Sect is here that it has gathered the most strength, and all the large arrays are running in a state of full matching, and their strength is far more powerful than that of the other large arrays.

Therefore, although Kyushu launched the most fierce offensive on the battlefield of the northwest front of the region, it also gathered the most forces.

But in the face of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, which was strictly defended, and Song Xiren was constantly working hard, the results achieved here were smaller than those of Taiping Dao.

Since the start of the war, only one country has been captured, which can be regarded as the revenge of the Evergreen Immortal Sect against its sworn enemy.

I'd rather give up my territory to Taiping Dao than give you this mortal enemy.

But now, even if the Evergreen Immortal Sect wants to pile up human lives, it is a little immobile at this time.

After all, there is no one, and even if you want to pile it, you can't find anyone.

Therefore, it is imperative to restore the number of immortals.

In response to this, like Kyushu, except for a few people such as Zhenxuan, the nine countries needed to break through the earth immortals did not move.

The Evergreen Immortal Sect also selected eleven disciples and arranged them to the remaining eleven kingdoms, allowing them to impact towards the realm of human immortals.

When these people break through successfully, even if only half of them succeed, they can greatly alleviate the dilemma of the Evergreen Immortal Sect, and now the lack of immortals.

Kyushu Immortal Sect and Evergreen Immortal Sect were all trying to recover their strength during the halftime break.

Naturally, Taiping Road is not idle.

Lu Yuan also arranged for the door to be inside and began to regain his strength.

However, unlike the other two, in terms of low-level disciples, he did not expand the number of disciples with great fanfare.

Thanks to the accumulation of hundreds of years before, the number of disciples at the bottom of the Taiping Dao is extremely rich.

There are a total of 20,000 old disciples, 5,000 new disciples, and at the same time, there are 6,000 monks available in the vassal immortal sect.

All of this adds up to 31,000 monks.

Now Taiping Dao is all over the front line, and counting vassals, there are only 11,000 dead and wounded.

Until now, there are still 20,000 troops available.

Even if you subtract the 5,000 new disciples who are useless, there are still 15,000 people.

Now that Lu Yuan is in various places in the rear, he has begun to activate those new disciples to go to various countries to simply maintain local law and order.

Anyway, in the place, there are still a large number of Yin Si gods who help maintain order.

Ordinary security, just have these gods there.

Taiping Dao only needs to arrange some disciples and do a good job of face engineering, and there will be no major problems.

After all, in the rear, Lu Yuanke still left Huang Xuan, Huang Yun, Jin Qingyue, Yu Peijin and other clones to take care of the nest.

There are four earth immortal clones here, and at the same time in Yichuan Yinsi, there is also a ghost emperor Chen Hongyuan, who can also help Taiping Dao suppress the place.

With so many forces deployed, there is no need to leave many monks in the rear to maintain order and stability.

Therefore, in addition to the five thousand new disciples, Lu Yuan transferred the remaining old disciples, as well as the remnants of the merchant vassal Immortal Sect, a total of 15,000 people, to the front line.

Among them, 10,000 people were distributed in the battlefield of the most fierce battle.

On Lu Yuan's side, only 5,000 people remained.

Although the number of troops is less than when the war began, the Evergreen Immortal Gate on the opposite side also has fewer soldiers and horses.

Compared with the two, it is still his side that has some advantages.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the troops of Taiping Dao are quite abundant and will not be too scarce.

And if you really want to talk about cannon fodder, the five thousand new disciples in the follow-up are actually enough.

After ten years of bloody battles, Taiping Dao has handed over his name and expressed his attitude.

In the follow-up war, Lu Yuan no longer planned to continue to maintain such a fierce offensive, and he couldn't maintain it.

Like the Kyushu Immortal Sect, as well as the Evergreen Immortal Sect, at this time, there are still twenty countries of land for each other, as well as a vast rear, which can provide them with resources in a steady stream.

But the Taiping Road can't be used.

Even if you count the newly seized land of the two countries, count the three vassals, the territory controlled by Taiping Dao is now only the land of twelve countries.

And of the twelve, the two newly occupied ones are not available.

In fact, only the original land of the Nine Kingdoms can be used, and the territory is less than half of the other two.

With half of the resources, if you want to fight with the other two, this is obviously not enough.

If you want to defeat them, Taiping Dao has to find another way.

And this path, Lu Yuan has already found.

His own doppelganger is the biggest reliance on winning this battle.

It's just that the current situation, even after ten years of bloody war, the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Kyushu Immortal Sect still retain their strong strength and have not hurt their vitality.

The simplest proof is that until now, none of the three forces has fallen, which can prove that this battle has not yet reached its peak.

There is still some time to wait before the decisive battle comes.

So at this time, it is not the best time to expose your strength.

Just as the three Evergreen Immortal Sect real people thought, Lu Yuan was waiting, on the side of the battlefield on the northwest front of the Equal Domain, the Earth Immortals of the Kyushu Immortal Gate fell.

With Song Xiren's strength, even if he is one against three, this person can take away at least one Kyushu Earth Immortal under his desperate efforts.

And judging by the two kinds of hatred, since you want to take away the enemy, of course, you have to take away the most valuable.

Among the three Earth Immortals in Kyushu, who is the most valuable enemy to the Evergreen Immortal Sect?

Of course, it is Ding Wanxuan, the current alliance leader of the Immortal Gate of Kyushu in the Western Domain.

Whether in terms of hatred or strength, Ding Wanxuan, who is nominally the leader of Kyushu, is the one with the highest status in Taiping Dao and the Kyushu Alliance.

Killing this person, not only within Kyushu, will also lose a common alliance leader.

The Taiping Dao, which has just issued a statement announcing that it is converging with Kyushu, will also completely lose its checks and balances because Kyushu lacks a powerful earth immortal.

At least in the Evergreen Domain, Taiping Dao will dominate the family and directly suppress the other Kyushu Immortal Sects.

When the time comes, it is an internal power struggle, and it is enough to make the Taiping Dao and the various sects in Kyushu fight in the dark.

And once Kyushu falls into infighting, it is difficult to say how much power will be available to fight against the Evergreen Immortal Sect at that time.

At that time, even in order to avenge the alliance leader, the Kyushu Immortal Sect will still continue to attack the Evergreen Immortal Sect, but in the environment of infighting, the pressure they can bring will be reduced by at least half.

The Evergreen Immortal Sect had this respite, and the hope of surviving this catastrophe naturally increased greatly.

This crisis is almost solved.

Although the cost of such a solution is extremely heavy, even if it finally blocks the foreign enemy, its own vitality will be greatly damaged.

But being able to keep their own existence and keep the inheritance of the sect is already a blessing for Song Xiren and the Evergreen Immortal Sect.

How could you hope for more?

Therefore, judging from the strength of the three immortal sects on the bright side today, for the Evergreen Immortal Sect, the best and most feasible way to break the game now is to kill Ding Wanxuan.

And Song Xiren is undoubtedly doing it towards this goal now.

In the past ten years, he has continued to use secret techniques, frantically squeezing his own potential, and using his life span to fight with the other party.

What is it for?

Of course, it was to be able to kill those Kyushu earth immortals on the battlefield.

Among the three Kyushu Earth Immortals, Ding Wanxuan, in particular, was the most targeted.

If it weren't for Ding Wanxuan's cultivation, he would also be among the earth immortals, and his strength would be quite good, and he would also have two other senior brothers to take care of him.

I'm afraid that he would have died under Song Xiren's targeting.

However, even so, Ding Wanxuan still had to start to become cautious on the battlefield, and he was on guard against Song Xiren's targeting.

The other two Kyushu Earth Immortals also had to divide their minds and use them to take care of him.

Huang Yuanxiu was hit hard before, just to protect Ding Wanxuan, he was deceived by Song Xiren, and he was caught and seriously injured.

So that Kyushu had to lose a big battle in the short term.

Between the two sects and several earth immortals on the northwest line of the domain, the real fire has been completely launched, and each of them is desperate.

At this time, there was already a serious injury to the earth immortals, which was a very obvious signal.

The last decisive battle between the Kyushu Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect started with the serious injury of the Earth Immortal, and slowly the Earth Immortal fell.

Now that the war has this trend, it is not far from the fall of the first earth immortal.

And this first dead earth immortal is most likely the Kyushu earth immortal, that is, among the three Ding Wanxuan.

For this, Ding Wanxuan is also clear to them.

That's why I consciously slowed down the intensity of the attack, became more and more cautious in the battle, and became more and more afraid to take risks.

It was not easy to cultivate to the Earth Immortal Realm, and at this time, it was only one step away from destroying the Evergreen Immortal Sect and revitalizing the Nine Spirits Dao System.

No one wants to be the price of success.

As the highest rulers, they are actually more afraid of death.

It's just that in the world of cultivating immortals, the highest person in power is often also the strongest combat power, and when it comes to fighting, as the strongest, it can't be avoided at all.

The situation pushed them, and they had to go to the battlefield desperately.

But the things on the battlefield are not something you can avoid if you want to.

Song Xiren, who has been driven to a desperate situation, has already begun to die, how can he let these mortal enemies go all the way.

If he doesn't take one or two people with him before leaving, he won't die blind.

In the face of the desperate blow of this current No. 1 monk of the Evergreen Domain, the price that the Kyushu Immortal Sect needs to bear will definitely not be easy.

And before the results of the death battle came out among these four earth immortals, Lu Yuan didn't want to come out and steal the limelight.

For him.

These four people, no matter who died, are all good things.

Song Xiren died, and there was only one Zhang Xiuzhu left in the Evergreen Immortal Sect.

This person is only in the early stage of the earth immortal, and his qualifications are mediocre, so he is not a big trouble at all.

He wanted to exterminate the remnants of these Evergreen Immortal Sects, just between his hands.

If Ding Wanxuan dies in Kyushu, it will be a good thing.

Without this leader, in the face of the powerful Taiping Dao, the Yuxi Immortal Sect had no power to resist at all.

Even if Zhen Xuan also broke through the Earth Immortal, it couldn't change the result.

As for the Kyushu Xianmen outside the territory.

For them, whether it is Taiping Dao or the Five Sects of Yuxi, it is Kyushu.

The only difference may be the relationship, which is just a little close and distant.

But as long as the grand wish of reviving the Kyushu Provincial System is realized, then for these people, it doesn't matter who is the leader of this Kyushu Provincial System.

Anyway, they didn't think about moving into the Evergreen Domain and joining the revived Kyushu family.

People also have a huge family business in a foreign land, not to say that they can give it up.

So it doesn't matter who is in charge of Kyushu, what matters is the revival of Kyushu.

Taiping Dao is the strongest and can lead Kyushu to rejuvenation, so let Taiping Dao take charge.

It's all the same for them.

Based on this concept, Ding Wanxuan's death is the greatest help to Lu Yuan.

Without this person, the western Kyushu, which has suffered a lot of vitality, can only be reduced to a vassal, obediently attached to the Taiping Dao, and there will be no room for resistance.

Taiping Dao will also be able to take advantage of this to control the entire Evergreen Domain and complete the great cause of unification.

Of course.

Although he thought about Ding Wanxuan's death, Lu Yuan also had a moral bottom line.

I won't say what I did and deliberately hurt the other party.

He just chose to wait and see, waiting for Song Xiren to kill the other party.

If it can be successful, it will be happy, and if it can't be done.

Even if Ding Wanxuan doesn't die, it doesn't matter.

Song Xiren was able to take away the other two Kyushu Earth Immortals, which was also a good thing for him.

The reason why Lu Yuan was afraid of Kyushu was because it was not Kyushu in the Evergreen Domain, but Kyushu outside the Evergreen Domain.

It's just the five sects in the western part of the domain, and it doesn't pose a threat to the Taiping Dao at all.

Only Kyushu, with the addition of the other three sects outside the territory, is a threat to the Taiping Dao.

Therefore, if the strength of the three extraterritorial sects can be weakened, and Song Xiren can take advantage of the situation to take Gu Huaiyuan, Huang Yuanxiu and others, it is equivalent to striking at the three extraterritorial sects.

At that time, the three immortal sects that were hit hard by that time were not enough to secretly lick their wounds after the war, and naturally they had no spare strength to interfere in the sovereignty struggle of the Evergreen Domain.

Without external interference, there will only be the five sects in the west that Taiping Dao needs to deal with.

Cleaning up the five sects in the western region, even if the other party still has Ding Wanxuan, facing the Taiping Dao with eight earth immortals, it is not an opponent at all.

As long as the true strength of Taiping Dao is released, it will basically be able to surrender without a fight.

As long as you can subdue the other party, you can gain the sovereignty of the Evergreen Domain.

Then when everything settles and he has been operating for more than a thousand years, the power in Lu Yuan's hands will definitely be stronger than at this time.

Even, he can't say that he has become an immortal.

In this way, even if the extraterritorial Kyushu recovers its strength, in the face of the Taiping Dao, which has become a behemoth, even if he wants to interfere, he will not have that strength.

Therefore, for the current Lu Yuan, in fact, he doesn't have to do much, he just needs to wait.

When Song Xiren takes the earth immortals of Kyushu Immortal Gate to die together, the fruits of the final victory will be sent to him.

In this case, Taiping Dao naturally didn't need many disciples.

He doesn't need so much cannon fodder.

The main reason for maintaining such a large number of disciples at this time is to maintain the front-line battlefield.

Do enough superficial work to give outsiders a sense of peace is already trying, but it is just a false impression that it is not strong enough to break through the opponent's defense line, so as to deceive the enemy and his allies.

Today, this kind of fraud has worked quite well.

Lu Yuan used the lives of five human immortals and tens of thousands of monks to gain the trust of outsiders.

At this time, what he has to do is to continue to maintain this illusion.

And to maintain this illusion, the fifteen thousand disciples on the front line are enough.

Even if there are no more shortcomings, there are still five thousand new disciples behind them, who can be called cannon fodder at any time.

For Taiping Dao, there is no need to recruit disciples on a large scale.

In fact, even if Lu Yuan wanted to recruit on a large scale, he wouldn't have that ability.
