Chapter 556 Preparations before the war
The half-saint of the Da Rong Dynasty had extremely complicated feelings.
Everything that is happening now is beyond his expectations.
More importantly, his faith in the Tao has been shaken.
He knew very well that this was a very dangerous thing.
Because he had already become a semi-saint, his faith in the Tao was shaken at this time, and it could almost be said that he doubted that there was something wrong with his path.
This posed a fatal danger to his future path.
But even so, he couldn't get rid of this emotion in his heart.
Because he knew that if what Jia Xu said was true, there was nothing wrong with it.
The current Da Rong Dynasty is not a treasure trove to him at all, but an extremely dangerous explosive that can blow him to pieces at any time.
Even though he was a semi-saint, he did not dare to say that he would definitely win when facing powerful dynasties like the Daqian Kingdom and the Daxuan Dynasty.
There is not even any guarantee that you will be able to escape unscathed.
But after thinking for a while, he put all these thoughts aside.
He is a half-saint, how could he retreat easily here?
Everything still depends on the results later.
As for now, he just needs to follow the original path.
It didn't take long before the three border generals of the Da Rong Dynasty arrived near the battlefield.
The closer they got to the border, the more news they heard about how powerful the Great Qian Kingdom was.
All three of them were somewhat worried about this.
"You two, I'm afraid this won't work. The strength of those people in the Great Qian Kingdom is far beyond our imagination.
According to our current understanding, there is probably more than one powerful person above the ninth rank in the Great Qian Kingdom.
Do you think we can stop it?
Even if we block it, is it really possible for our Da Rong Dynasty to survive in such a situation? "
Dang Shengqi spoke.
His expression was very solemn, and his eyes were filled with bitterness.
This situation seems to be almost hopeless.
When Hong Sai heard his words, his expression turned a little uglier.
But apart from this there were no other changes, because they had already anticipated the current situation.
Although they did not know much about the situation on the battlefield before, and much of it was hearsay, it was enough for them to have a general understanding of the strength of the Great Qian Kingdom.
The information they heard now was just making these understandings become real reality.
Since we have already made preparations, there won’t be any major changes.
The real question is where they will end up if they continue like this.
"The situation is really bad now, and I have been thinking about what should we do next?
This time, the number of border troops brought by the three parties has exceeded three million, and they are the last strength of our Dayong Dynasty.
If we fail, the Da Rong Dynasty will never recover.
But with the strength of the three of us, we can’t stand up to not only the Great Qian Kingdom, but even the Great Xuan Dynasty.”
He said, then glanced at the two of them, and then said solemnly:
"Do you remember the topic we talked about before you came here?"
Dang Shengqi's expression paused slightly.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"We have no choice now," Hong Sai said.
Then he took out a special pill from his arms.
This pill has an enchanting color, and has an aura that makes people seem to sink into it.
Even just one glance at it makes people want to devour it.
This feeling is extremely strange.
But they didn't dare to touch it at all.
The reason is very simple. If they swallow this pill, they can gain powerful strength in a short period of time.
However, their lifespan, which could have been hundreds of years or even longer, would be completely exhausted in just ten years.
This is a very scary thing.
It is tantamount to committing suicide.
After hearing his words, the other two also took out the pill in their arms.
Indeed, they have now reached this point.
What the Da Rong Dynasty needs right now are enough strong people.
After all, their current means are simply not enough to withstand the pressure that the Dalong Dynasty is facing.
Therefore, only by sacrificing oneself can one bring the last glimmer of hope to the Da Rong Dynasty.
Without any hesitation, the three of them swallowed it.
A violent force appeared within the bodies of the three people, which made them feel extreme pain.
But at the same time, they can also feel that their strength is increasing rapidly.
This effect is extremely overbearing, especially during the Party Saint Period.
He had already reached the peak of the eighth rank of national scholar.
He is only a step away from becoming a ninth-rank national scholar.
This line of distance may be crossed tomorrow, or it may never be crossed in your lifetime.
But after swallowing the pill, he soon felt that the barrier that had been blocking him was completely shattered at this moment.
In less than a cup of tea, his aura suddenly changed.
Ninth-grade national scholar!
Seeing such changes, the three were a little shocked. Although they had long guessed that the effect of this pill must be outstanding, in their opinion, the effect of this pill was still more overbearing than they had imagined.
"What a domineering thing! No wonder it wants to kill us!"
Hong Sai couldn't help but speak.
Although he did not achieve a breakthrough in realm like Dang Shengqi.
But he could also feel the strength in his body increasing.
It is conceivable that it doesn’t take long at all to break through the realm.
The three of them looked at each other. Since the pill had already been swallowed, they had no other choice.
Hong Sai said:
"Let's go to the front line, but the original plan should be changed."
"Indeed, we originally planned to find an opportunity to ambush them after we get there, but now it seems that we should consume all the elixirs first and gain enough strength. Only then can we achieve the greatest results."
The other two nodded in agreement.
In fact, the reinforcements from the Da Rong Dynasty had had similar ideas as them.
But that time, the other party didn't play a big enough role.
Even in one battle, the army of the Da Rong Dynasty, which had been able to hold out, completely collapsed.
As a result, the balance that was barely maintained between the two dynasties was broken by one war.
This was the beginning of defeat.
But in their eyes, they did not take this matter to heart.
Because they always believe that people are different.
Those veteran generals in the army are quite powerful.
But compared with the three of them, there is still a huge difference.
Even if two people break through to a realm above the ninth level, the gap in foundation cannot be changed.
And they definitely accidentally chose the strongest person in the Great Qian Kingdom.
If they choose another one above the ninth rank, perhaps there will be some changes in the situation.
In their opinion, there was nothing wrong with what those people did before. The only problem was their own abilities.
If we replace them, the result will naturally not be the same.
But now their strength is increasing rapidly, so what they are thinking now is very simple.
Perhaps they can also reach a level above the ninth rank.
If you can reach this level...
Those powerful people from the Great Qian Kingdom are no longer a fatal threat to them.
It didn't take long before they reached the front line.
The generals on the border have been looking forward to this for a long time.
“You three are finally here.
If you don’t come, I’m afraid most of the territory of my Da Rong Dynasty will be taken away by the Da Qian Kingdom.”
The generals all looked a little bitter.
The fighting during this period seemed like a fantasy to them.
It can even be said that there is nowhere to fight at all.
Most people would surrender as soon as they came into contact with the Daqian Kingdom's troops, and had never experienced any serious battles.
Even these people are now showing that they are determined to fight the enemy.
But if it weren't for the reinforcements, they would have already prepared to surrender.
This is a very normal thing.
Even the three of them could clearly see it.
But they don't care much about these.
After all, these people's strength is indeed insufficient, and they have no means of defense when facing the strong men from the Daqian Kingdom.
On the contrary, the powerful border troops he brought with him were completely different from these people.
Everyone was eager to fight.
Even though there were strong men above the ninth rank on the opposite side, they were not afraid at all.
Death is like the wind.
After years of fighting on the frontier, they have long been accustomed to this.
"Three of you, I don't know how we should fight next."
Someone asked. The speaker was a seventh-rank national scholar, who was considered very powerful among the generals.
Because most of the stronger ones have died in battle, and some have even chosen to surrender.
Hearing his words, Hong Sai's expression did not change.
"Fall back."
When I heard these two words, I was stunned.
"General, you are kidding me, you said we should retreat?"
The person who spoke had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
What are these three people here for? Aren’t they here to fight against the Great Qian Kingdom and regain lost territory?
If they retreat again, they will really reach a point where they have no room to retreat.
But Hong Sai's expression was very calm.
"You heard me right, I told you to retreat.
We are still waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to defeat the Great Qian Kingdom in one fell swoop."
In fact, in his heart, he was just waiting for time, waiting for the opportunity for the three of them to reach the ninth rank or above.
Even if Dang Shengqi cannot be broken through in a short period of time, if two of the three of them can reach the ninth rank or above, they will have the opportunity to compete with the Daqian Kingdom.
and……
They were also waiting for people from the Daxuan Dynasty.
Now that they have come to the front line.
If nothing unexpected happens, those people from the Daxuan Dynasty should also leave.
Everyone felt helpless about this situation.
There were even some people whose eyes looked a little broken.
If you keep running, you might as well just surrender.
Many people who originally had no such thoughts began to think of surrendering at this moment.
I heard that the Great Qian Kingdom treated prisoners well.
So if they could surrender to the Great Qian Kingdom, perhaps the result would not be too bad.
Even if they cannot be reused, at least they can survive.
And as time goes by, they will always be able to gain the trust of the ruler of Daqian State.
The three of them had no intention of paying any attention to what these people were thinking.
Because they don't care about that at all now.
The Da Rong Dynasty has collapsed to such an extent that everything has become meaningless. All they can do now is to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
And those who surrendered were nothing more than a minor illness to them.
Not worth mentioning at all.
Daqian, the generals are advancing rapidly.
They also received some intelligence.
Until a reinforcement from the Da Rong Dynasty rushed towards the battlefield.
However, according to the time, they thought these people should have arrived at the battlefield.
But I don't know why, it hasn't appeared until now.
After hearing the news, Huo Qubing couldn't help but curl his lips.
“It seems that those people are scared, otherwise they would not have appeared on the battlefield until now.
Although I don't know what conspiracy they are playing.
I won't care about him. Lu Bu's progress is much faster than ours now, and he won't slow down any further.
The cucumber dish is cold.”
Without any hesitation, Huo Qubing chose to advance.
And the speed is getting faster and faster.
Anyway, the war has reached this point.
There's no point in delaying any further.
At this time, people from the Daxuan Dynasty also arrived near the front line.
After hearing that the two sides had not yet started fighting, their expressions did not look very good.
“What are those people waiting for?
Having already arrived at the battlefield, are they just going to watch the Great Qian Kingdom annex their territory?"
They simply couldn't understand the situation.
In their opinion, what those people should do is to start a war quickly.
But now the other party's performance was obviously beyond their expectations.
“General Blackheart, are we going to move forward?
If we go any further, we might run into the Great Qian Kingdom first."
An eighth-rank state scholar spoke.
Hearing his words, the Blackhearted General remained expressionless.
"What's the rush? No matter what they want to do, this battle has to be fought.
When they start fighting, it won’t be too late for us to intervene.”
He said this, but he actually felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Because in his opinion, the Da Rong Dynasty was already their territory.
Now, every time the Great Qian Kingdom advances, it loses the interests of their Great Xuan Dynasty.
"Send someone to urge them. I want to see how long they will delay."
It didn't take long.
The news reached the three generals on the frontier.
The three of them looked at each other, with a hint of coldness in their eyes.
"These people from Daxuan are so arrogant!"
