In the next few days, Zhou Xiang and the others followed the large army to conduct several joint exercises, including the mutual cooperation between the small teams and the coordinated operations between the large troops.

There is a huge jade stone in the headquarters of the Northern Alliance, which is densely covered with many small dots, each dot corresponds to a living monk of his own side, and the commander will control the jade with spiritual power during the battle, and then realize the command of the entire army. For example, if you want to attack on the right flank, the commander needs to use spiritual power to select the small dots that represent the right flank troops, and then swipe forward, and they will all turn yellow, and the small hedron on the chest of the actual monk corresponding to the small dots will also turn yellow, and everyone will know that the order to attack has been given from above. This style of command is quick and effective.

After the joint training, the Northern Alliance gave each cannon fodder monk ten low-grade spirit stones, which was no different from sending Hanako in the past, but everyone was extremely happy after getting it, because they hadn't seen the spirit stone for a whole month. The Han brothers were particularly exaggerated, they began to kiss wildly with the spirit stone, as if they were holding a peerless beauty in their hands, so disgusted that Zhou Xiang and Yang Ting hurriedly hid in the tent.

Soon, though, the good days were over. Regardless of whether everyone wanted to or not, they finally received the order to pull out, and Zhou Xiang was about to usher in the first big melee in his life.

The mighty monk troops, under the command of the Northern Alliance, drove to the vicinity of Yuanling. This was followed by wartime regulations at the top, including principles for rewards, punishments, and the distribution of spoils. According to the regulations, all the loot needs to be handed over uniformly, and after each battle, the Northern Alliance will also arrange disciples to search the cannon fodder team, and if they find that they have hidden loot, they will be severely punished, and the most serious will be directly executed. The reward is more direct, according to the difference of killing the enemy monks, the highest directly gives the antidote and accepts it as a disciple of the Northern Alliance, and the next one sends a few more pills to delay toxicity and enhance cultivation, and the worse ones are rewarded with some Northern Alliance spirit stones that have been marked. All cannon fodder monks attach great importance to the highest reward, after all, it takes too long and too many variables to compete every three years and achieve the top 100 results, and the maximum reward will appear once after each battle, so everyone has a chance.

However, after reading the conditions for obtaining the highest reward, all the monks below the foundation level smiled bitterly, because the difficulty was too great: "Kill one monk of the enemy's Jindan stage or above by leaping over the level." ”

First of all, the Jindan monks had to participate in the battle of these low-level cannon fodder to have a chance; secondly, it was impossible to skip the level and kill unless it was the peak of the foundation building against the seriously injured Jindan early stage monks. Moreover, the cannon fodder monks are all from scattered cultivators or third-rate sects, and their strength is already worse than those disciples of first-class forces, and it is a little difficult to kill their peers, let alone skip the level. So this one is equal to nothing, it's just a dream for everyone. However, there are also monks who think highly of themselves and are waiting for the war to start as soon as possible, so as to find an opportunity to become the lucky ones who kill Jindan.

Just when the cannon fodder troops were assembling, there was also an undercurrent surging within the Northern Alliance.

In a certain hall, the internal meeting of the Wuji Sect, a first-class sect of the Northern Alliance, was being held, and the meeting was presided over by Yuanying Elder Ge Wuya, and the participants were all disciples of the Wuji Sect in the foundation building period and many Jindan deacons.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the alliance has confirmed that the main goal of the war will start in the southern section of the Jingcheng passage of the Yuanling Mountains in five days, and the main goal is to seize the Nanshui Pass and open the door to the south for our Northern Alliance. If we win this battle, the battlefield will be unfolded in the southern region in the future, and if we lose, we will not suffer substantial losses. For this battle, the sect master's intention is to hand over the responsibility of the high deacon, and the monks participating in the battle of the Wuji Sect must fully cooperate!"

A middle-aged monk on Ge Wuya's left stood up when he heard this, hugged his fists to everyone, and saluted Elder Ge again: "Thank you Sect Master for your kindness! Thank you Elder Ge for your support!

"Okay! Deacon Gao doesn't need to be polite!" Ge Wuya waved his hand to hold Deacon Gao up, and then continued: "Everyone here is the elite of the sect, you should fully support the work of Deacon Gao, if there is a deliberate delay to delay the fighter, the sect will not spare it! In addition, Deacon Gao, please pay attention, in this battle, our Wuji Sect has a total of ten Jindan deacons and fifty foundation building disciples to participate, this is the precious wealth of this sect, unless it is absolutely necessary, it cannot be easily dispatched. Preserving the strength of the sect must be put in the first place, and if you want to fight, let those worthless cannon fodder monks fight. Isn't it really not good, aren't there a few other major sects?"

Ge Wuya's words caused the deacons to nod their heads in agreement.

"In addition, in this Northern and Southern War, a consensus has been reached within the sect that the Avatar Ancestor will not come forward. The Yuanying Monk will not participate in the Battle of Nanshui Pass, and whether he will participate in the battle in the future depends on the situation. After all, for hundreds of years, the Heavenly Tribulation has not been released, and the Avatar Cultivators have not been able to ascend, but if they stay in this realm, they will suffer from the backlash of their power, and their longevity will also be damaged, and several Supreme Elders in the sect have been trying to extend their lifespan for many years to support the day when the Heavenly Tribulation reappears. Our Yuanying Elder is the mainstay of the sect. For hundreds of years, in order to prolong the life span of many Supreme Elders, we have made too many sacrifices to allow us to lose in war at will. Of course, there is another important reason why Yuanying tries not to fight, that is, after the ascension of the Transformation Cultivator, there will inevitably be a vacuum in the cultivation world, and whoever has more Yuanying Monks at that time, and who can cultivate the Transformation Monk as soon as possible, will have the ability to maintain the status of a first-class force. Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of Nanshuiguan falls on your shoulders! Here, on behalf of the sect, I would like to thank you! Thank you for everything you have done for the sect! Within a hundred years, you will surely become the pillars of the new generation of this sect!"

Speaking of which, Ge Wuya gave everyone a special salute. All the deacons and Zhuji disciples hurriedly stood up to return the salute, and their faces all tried to show excited expressions.

After inspiring everyone again, Ge Wuya drifted away. The rest of the time is left to everyone to arrange.

Deacon Gao took the opportunity to make some more remarks, which were nothing more than an encouragement to everyone to be diligent in the war and not to slacken. Everyone in the audience fully supported the sect's decision on the surface, but as for what they thought in their hearts, it was difficult to say.

At the end of the meeting, the monks gathered together in a small group, or two or three, and went to the meeting again.

Deacon Zhu and Deacon Wang are two of them.

"How is it? What is Brother Wang's experience of today's meeting?"

"Hehe, on the surface, he is sanctimonious, but in fact, he has his own calculations. What kind of primordial infant god does not participate in the war, in fact, it is just a game of grabbing resources, and he has come up with so many excuses!" Deacon Wang said disdainfully.

"Hmph! For hundreds of years, the Heavenly Tribulation has not been released, and those useless cultivators in the sect have long been feathered, and some of them have not forgotten to make a big fuss before they die. More of them hide their whereabouts and secretly do some shady things to delay their longevity. And the Yuanying monks have only cared about having fun all these years, and they have not thought of making progress, and the good sect has been made into a miasma by them. Everyone verbally said that the left one is for the sect, and the right one is for the sect, but in fact, they are all thinking about their own interests!" Deacon Zhu was a little indignant, "The other forces are not much better, in order to prolong the life of the Avatar Cultivator, in order to satisfy the desires of the Yuan Infant, how many genius earth treasures and spirit stone resources have been carved up by the various sects. I have long seen that these people are all righteous and righteous gentlemen on the surface, but in fact, they have done a lot of dirty things, and every time we Jindan monks take the blame, I really feel ashamed for them!"

"However, Ge Wuya is not wrong in what he said, once all the Avatar Cultivators soar, it is a good time to redivide the forces, whoever has more Yuanying Monks and whose resources are sufficient, it is possible to move the ranking forward, I believe that all the sects will try their best to protect their disciples in the next big war, and try to harm other sects as much as possible. ”

"The upper echelons are very accurate! Starting a war at this time can not only rob resources, but also further attack potential opponents, eliminate the second- and third-rate forces that are not convinced, and those scattered cultivators who do not know the height of the sky, and prepare in advance for the division of forces after the recurrence of the Heavenly Tribulation. It's ridiculous that some second-rate sects are still stupid enough to send Yuanying monks to fight, thinking of making a big profit. When the time comes, both the Northern League and the Southern Region will try their best to trap him to death. Deacon Wang added.

"In any case, you and I must also be careful, and only by living can we enjoy the fruits of the war. In particular, we must guard against the exclusion of dissidents!" Deacon Zhu reminded earnestly.

"No matter how his surname Gao gets, as long as the foundation building disciples on my side don't have any losses! If you want to go up, let the other disciples go first! How can He De, whose surname is Gao, actually lead you and me? In terms of cultivation, he is a big step behind you, Brother Zhu. In terms of ability, he is better than us. If you want me to say, this position of commander should be done by you, Brother Zhu. "Deacon Wang was indignant.
