Chapter 48: Return to Yong'an Island

Shi Dewa and the soldier lord Da Ran led a caravan composed of warriors of the Changyu tribe and local horse gangs, passed through the rat road to the snowy plain, and then went out of the territory of the Xurui Dynasty, and finally arrived at the Uktan Kingdom, the east-west goods trading center of the Luo Danpo Dynasty, and finally earned 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 taels of gold for the Changyu tribe in the Nine Desolation Mountains.

The three major chiefs of the Changyu clan, the chieftain, the chieftain, and the soldier lord Daran and Shi Dewa, used this large amount of gold and silver to carry out a series of military measures to strengthen the clan.

The original army of the Changyu tribe was expanded to 120,000 people, organized into three armies, with the chieftain, the soldier lord Daran, and Shi Dewa as the commanders, each army had four divisions, each division had 10,000 people, and was commanded by the division commander.

The structure of the original army has been completely changed, and the smallest unit of the army after the change is called a group, and the combination of each group completely adopts the formation structure of the army of the Miu tribe on Yong'an Island, where Shi Dewa is located: each group of twelve people, the two in the front row are powerful shield bearers, and the back is the leader who is responsible for the command of the hidden weapon, the third row is four crossbowmen, the fourth row is three spearmen, and the last row is two short knife men.

The army of the Nine Desolation Mountains was also renamed the Formation Soldiers, because the entire army was composed of formation groups that could be independent.

It is an extremely difficult project to assemble such a complex formation.

To this end, the soldier lord Da Ran built dozens of steel-making furnaces, 30 weapons manufacturing rooms, and 20 crossbow rooms.

A large number of craftsmen worked non-stop for two years before they finished the weapons needed for the battle.

The chieftain, the soldier master, Daran, and Shidewa trained the soldiers every day, first in individual groups, and then in coordination between groups.

During the two years of training the army, Shi Dewa and the soldier master Da Ran did not relax their martial arts training.

Daran is a martial arts wizard, and Shi Dewa is an unrivaled martial arts genius. Before they met, they were already first-class martial arts masters.

After Shi Dewa fled from Yong'an Island to Jiuhuangling and met Daran, they began to pass on martial arts to each other. Together, they practiced the primary and intermediate exercises of the Zhou family, the first martial arts family of the Xurui Dynasty, and the advanced exercises of the Meng family, the Taiping Wang, the third martial arts family.

A martial arts wizard and a martial arts genius have been practicing together for six or seven years, studying the two most cutting-edge martial arts techniques, and their strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. In the second year after returning from selling weapons in foreign countries, Da Ran's force value finally broke through the bottom line of the Great Martial Sect's high-level, the Great Martial Sect's high-level, which is the highest martial arts goal that all those who cultivate martial arts dream of. It is said that among the tens of millions of people in the Xurui Dynasty, there are only about ten high-level masters of the Great Martial Sect, and now there is one more Da Ran.

Shi Dewa, who was several years younger, had reached the advanced stage of the Great Martial Sect when he organized a caravan to sell weapons abroad two years ago, and now his strength was truly unfathomable.

In the autumn of the year when the formation of the Nine Desolation Mountains began to take shape, the abbot of the Shuien Temple, the monk leader of the southern part of the Dynasty, came to the Nine Desolation Mountains.

Shi Fudi worked hard for the people of Yong'an Island for nearly ten years, and he risked the huge risk of being discovered by the Xurui Dynasty, and infiltrated Yong'an Island with Yi Rong, so that the young elites on the island, such as the Water Party, Diedewa, and Fengdewa, evacuated the island, and defeated Zhou Chi to rescue Shidewa. On the way to escort Shi Dewa and his party to the Nine Desolation Mountains, he sent the poisoned Feng Dewa to the Suhuo Gate of Evil Plum Mountain. After that, he traveled back and forth between Yong'an Island, Suhuomen of Evil Plum Mountain, where Fengdewa is located, and Jiuhuangling, where Shidewa is located, every year, to report safety to the three parties. This involves the life and death grievances between the Xurui Dynasty and Yong'an Island, and only Shi Servant knows about this matter, so he can only run back and forth thousands of miles away.

The high monk from the Luo Danpo Dynasty made a great contribution to the prosperity of Buddhism in the Xurui Dynasty, and Emperor Zhou Tian respected and trusted him very much, so the servant land came and went freely, and no one stopped and doubted.

This time the servant was from the flying pigeon biography of his best friend, Zhang He, the head of the palace, who knew that the father of the Water Party, the Great Rumor Master of the Miao Clan, died suddenly without warning, and on the second night of the burial of the Great Rumor Master, Shi Dewa's father, the Great Magician Cang Dewa, died violently at the wine table.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Shi Dewa and the Water Party about the matter.

When the water party heard that his father had died, he cried loudly and finally fainted to the ground.

Shi Dewa heard that his father Cang Dewa and the Great Rumor Master had passed away one after another, and he did not make a sound, and not a single tear flowed.

Shi Servant asked Shi Dewa about the situation in the Nine Desolation Mountains in the past few years, and when Shi Dewa said that he was the commander of the formation, Shi Servant's heart couldn't help but move slightly. Shi Dewa also asked Shi Servant about Feng Dewa's situation, and when he learned that Feng Dewa had practiced a peerless exercise called Nine Piles and Eighteen Styles and became the leader of the Su Huo Gate, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

After seeing the soldiers, Shi Dewa said goodbye. He looked at Shi Dewa, who had been calm for a long time, and thought: Great sorrow without tears, anger and silence.

The servant had a premonition that the last thing he wanted to happen was about to happen. He sighed secretly and thought: This is the continuation of the relationship between Yong'an Island and the Xurui Dynasty for several years. May all sentient beings suffer immeasurably! Amitabha!

Shi Dewa watched the back of the great benefactor "Servant Bodhisattva" disappear from view little by little, he turned his head to look at the soldier master Da Ran, and Da Ran nodded slightly to Shi Dewa.

......

In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Dewa and the soldier lord Da Ran led 200 groups of 2,800 soldiers to leave the Nine Desolate Mountains, marched south, and went straight to the sea, launching the operation of Yong'an Island to rescue the Miu people.

The two guides who served as the two guides of this rescue operation were the two disciples of Shi Servant, when the King of Nanling was killed and Yong'an Island was blocked by Zhou Chi and the army, it was these two guides who brought Shi Dewa and Shui Dang and others to Jiuhuangling under the instruction of Shi Servant.

Shi Dewa and the soldier lord Daran took the soldiers on a large ship and came to Yong'an Island after many days of sailing.

When Shi Dewa, who had been away from the island for nearly eight years, stepped on the land of Yongan Island, he remembered the scene when he left his father when he left the island: the moment he walked out of his father's house, he turned his head sharply and saw his father with his back to the door, but he clearly saw tears on his father's face...... The tears that Shi Dewa had been holding back in his heart flowed......

Da Ran, the soldier lord standing beside Shi Dewa, said: "Dewa! I will lead thirty groups of soldiers to guard the intersection around the island, and I will not let a single person from the Xurui Dynasty escape from Yong'an Island. You led the remaining 170 groups of troops into the island to rescue the people. The guards on the island don't know if it's still the Imperial Martial Academy, that master of yours, Zhou Chi. Will I enter the island with you?"

Shi Dewa shook his head and said, "Brother Ran, you just stay here." I really don't want Zhou to be in charge here!"

Shi Dewa walked towards the island with more than 2,000 soldiers, and after walking for a while, he was met by the patrolling soldiers of the Xurui Dynasty.

The soldiers on patrol suddenly saw the strange formation, and they were stunned for a moment.

The black-pressed soldiers stood in a rectangular formation, with shield bearers on all four sides of the rectangle, and then inside, group leaders, crossbowmen, spearmen, and short knife hands were lined up in turn.

The leader of the patrol had never seen such an army before, and after a moment's pause, he suddenly shouted "retreat" and ran to the island with the patrol.

Shi Dewa was not in a hurry to catch up, he didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, the purpose of his trip was to save people.

The patrol ran back to the island and reported the situation to Zhou Chi, the palace commander of the capital

Zhou Chi entered the island with the matchmaker of the fourth prince Zhou Huan, King Nanling, and gave gifts to the Dewa family, and Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, was accidentally poisoned and died, and Zhou Chi led the army prepared in advance to blockade Yongan Island.

Shi Fudi had told the Great Rumor Master and the Great Magician Cangdewa that this might be a deliberate conspiracy, and it was this information that made Shi Dewa decide to leave the island to protect some of the elite children of the Fengdewa Butterfly Water Party.

In fact, the blockade of Yong'an Island by the death of the king of Nanling was indeed an action planned by Emperor Zhou Tian, Feng Yi, King of Nanling, and Zhou Chi, the marshal of the palace of the capital, to seize the metal materials on the island to make the Cangqi Divine Sword. However, even Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, and Zhou Chi, the marshal of the palace of the capital, did not know, and there was a fourth person who knew about this top-secret plan, and that person was Zhang He, the head of the palace.

Shi Servant was the fifth person to know about this top-secret plan.

Zhou Chi searched the island for a whole year, and did not even find a single dregs of new metal, leaving 3,000 troops to garrison the island. The people of the island live freely, but all going out is forbidden. They can't go out to fish, and the islanders don't have enough living materials, so they are supplied by the dynasty.

Zhou Chi was an important minister of the dynasty and was in charge of military affairs in the entire capital area, so he returned to the capital a year after coming to Yong'an Island. A few years later, the Great Rumor Master and the Great Sorcerer Cang Dewa died within two days, and Emperor Zhou Tian sent Zhou Chi, who was familiar with the situation on the island, to the island to appease the people.

In this way, Zhou Chi led the army of the Xurui Dynasty who stayed on the island, and formed a confrontation situation with the troops led by Shi Dewa at the army training ground on the original island.
