Chapter 455: Wu Xing Selects Soldiers to Go to War
One cannot help but sigh at the profound heritage of the city, the high prestige of the king, and the strong mobilization capabilities of all parties.

It took only ten days to raise the quota of 10,000 troops.

At the same time, news came from all sides.

The army that the Lord of the Prefecture has summoned this time is not limited to the prefectural capital, but also includes other cities in the prefecture, totaling more than 100,000 people.

Most people are very optimistic and believe that wiping out the witch clan clowns will be a piece of cake and that the day of triumph is not far away.

But Zhou You had once been deep into enemy territory and witnessed the power of the witch army, so he felt a little fearful.

The thought of an army of 100,000 going out to attack the Witch Clan is really exciting.

The wizards were exiled to the poor land in the north, but they managed to survive tenaciously and still retained the ancient civilization, which showed their tenacity.

They also have the strength of masters and the blood of martial artists, and their tribe is a collective, which is far from being comparable to ordinary bandits and thieves.

This time, the Lord of the Mansion is leading the team personally to fight against the Wu clan army that has crossed the defense line of Sucheng and Gongliang.

"I heard about it."

"This time, the enemy is led by the Zhongxi, Manxiang, and Goumeng tribes. Each tribe has a great witch participating in the battle. Their great witch is equivalent to a strong warrior."

"The commander-in-chief is the witch chief Gao Yang, who is equivalent to... the human clan."

This conversation took place at Overlord Martial Arts School.

As the commander-in-chief of the martial arts, Yanshan ordered the recruitment of 3,000 warriors. Although some minor incidents occurred, the quota was finally completed.

The so-called episode was nothing more than that some martial artists resisted conscription and attempted to escape, but were eventually wiped out.

The gap was filled again. With the lessons learned from the past, no one dared to disobey the call.

There are hundreds of martial artists invited to Overlord Martial Arts School today, and they are the best among the three thousand martial artists.

After all, although Overlord Martial Arts School is big, there is no need to invite everyone here. There is no need!
For example, Zhou You was called up, and he had to bring his disciples and brothers with him to the battlefield, so they were also counted among the people. He attended as a representative and listened to the pre-war mobilization of the head of the martial arts group.

"Master Zhou, how many did you bring?"

Zhou You made a three gesture, but he still had no one under his command. The two martial artists came over from his previous martial arts school.

Therefore, there were a total of three people on this trip to Daqian Martial Arts School, including himself.

Among the three thousand martial arts, not to mention every martial artist, the lowest standard is to be in the late stage of Qi and blood, and at least be able to wield Qi and blood magical weapons when going into battle.

According to the Lord's conscription standards, every one of the ten thousand men must be proficient in the art of weaponry, and it is better to have fewer than necessary.

Otherwise, with a population of nearly ten million in the city, it would be difficult to select only ten thousand elite soldiers.

The fact that Daqian Martial Arts School has three martial artists is already a lot. Some martial arts schools even use Qi and blood disciples to make up the numbers!
Qin Lie and Yang Kuoqiong smiled awkwardly after hearing this. Among the number of people they reported, there were Qi and blood disciples.

Although they knew that the battlefield was dangerous and that there was a high probability that Qi and Blood disciples would not return, there was no other way. They had to leave people to guard the martial arts school to prevent the old nest in the city from being robbed while they were fighting outside.

"Master Zhou has Gu Gu's support, so he doesn't have to worry about his family."

Gu Lao, the mysterious senior martial artist, was not included in this call-up because he did not settle in the provincial capital.

I heard that Yanshan felt very sorry about this and mentioned it to people around him.

Zhou You shook his head. This time they were fighting against the Wu Clan, and Qiang Wu was also among them. Once the Fist Puppet appeared, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, with no return. He didn't dare to take the risk.

Unless the confusing blood and qi poison completely assimilated the blood and qi in the body of the fist puppet, he would not dare to let Gu Lao appear rashly.

After listening to the two people's imaginary explanation, Zhou You did not refute and felt that it was quite reasonable.

"...The Witch Clan has a Witch Chief, and we have the Lord of the Mansion. The Lord of the Mansion is also a human leader, so we are not afraid of him, a barbarian." Yes, that's right. In the eyes of the human race in the Central Plains, the Witch Clan in the Northern Border is just a group of savages who eat raw meat and drink blood.

"Everyone, the master is here."

The one who spoke was the Little Overlord Yan Wanjun, Yanshan's nephew and his direct disciple, standing in the courtyard with a long spear on his back.

Hundreds of martial artists kept silent and waited quietly for Yanshan to come forward.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have waited for a long time." Yanshan appeared and clasped his fists. "I won't waste any more time. If the Lord orders us to leave the city immediately, we will fight against the Wu clan army."

"The armies of the other cities will attack the flanks and rear of the Wu Clan from both sides and in all directions."

"The Lord of the Mansion personally led the army of the noble families to fight against the powerful army of Gu Dao led by the witch chief."

A series of military secrets were clearly described in a few words, bringing a tsunami-like impact to everyone present.

This time our government has mobilized all its forces, even the Lord of the government has personally taken part in the battle.

Some people had previously complained that the aristocratic families were so powerful and had so many resources, so why didn’t they have children?

Now I know that this power of the aristocratic family is directly controlled by the Lord of the Mansion. Only with his prestige and status, he is qualified to command this unruly force.

"The Lord of the Mansion is loyal to the monarch and is also a hereditary marquis. Without him in charge, it would be difficult to mobilize such a huge force."

"Great, Lord."

Just by listening to Yanshan's description of the magnificent scene, one can imagine the heroic and grandiose battle between our army and the witch tribe.

Many martial artists' hearts were boiling with excitement, as the opportunity to achieve great things was just around the corner!

Every time there is a war, just like the waves of the ocean, there will be ups and downs. No one cares about the dead, but more attention is paid to those who stand out.

When fighting against foreign races, you have a righteous cause and don't have to worry about anything. You can kill as much as you want.

The martial artists each had their own thoughts, and after this pre-war mobilization, their morale was unprecedentedly high and their minds were united.

Even Qin Lie and Yang Kuoqiong were somewhat tempted. If they could make merit in this battle, their martial arts school would become famous, their status in the martial arts world would be enhanced, and they would be further integrated into the local circle of the capital, which would be beneficial to their future generations.

Not to mention, the savages of the witch tribe have been clearing wasteland and hunting in the north, accumulating huge wealth from generation to generation, and the spoils are extremely tempting.

Fighting a war, especially winning a war, is often a lucrative business.

Didn’t the ancestor of Yanshan, the once impoverished disciple of Jingangshan, become prosperous because of his participation in the battle for the throne many years ago?

Although the person is no longer with us, his legacy has been passed down to later generations until the Yanshan generation broke out.

Everybody wants to be prosperous and everybody wants to make progress. The world is big and has no shortage of population; what it lacks is opportunities.

Zhou You is the only one who is not infected by the fanaticism. He is just fighting a wizard. Who hasn’t fought that?
He planned to take Zuo Lu and Lan Chengxiu with him to participate in the battle, and not take any of the other people from the martial arts school.

On the surface, all the martial artists of Daqian Martial Arts School have left home, but in fact, the Fist Puppets are hiding in the dark, guarding Zhou You's family.

Although the battle was dangerous, Zhou You was generous in providing them with equipment, each of them with a matching set of magical weapons and a fur robe.

The former were the fine products he purchased in Chongguang City, and the latter were the items seized after killing the witch tribe.

Don't think that the Wu Clan are really savages. Although the weapons they make are crude, the battle robes made of tanned animal skins are unique in terms of defense and wearing them can save your life when you encounter danger.

These actions were all humane and left to fate. Whether the two of them could return alive depended on their efforts and luck.

If one could return from a hundred battles and be reborn from the ashes, one might even be reborn completely!
