Immortal Road.

Stayed in Wushan for two days.

The Yin family mobilized and coordinated the new soldiers they had recruited in recent months, a total of 2,000 soldiers from the independent cultivators, barbarians, and witch tribes, and handed them over to Lin Shan to take to the front line.

"You can recruit two thousand guerrillas in a month? The iteration speed of these cannon fodder is almost the same as that of the magic sect!"

This is just one family. Adding together the other human race sects, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people flock to the Jiuli land every month. The pressure put on the barbarians can be imagined.

In order to take care of Lin Shan, Yin Jiuji, the lord of Yinque City, specially accompanied him.

It seems that the city lord has quite some free time. He doesn't have to stay in the city to handle government affairs, and it's okay for him to wander around.

The front line is located in Tiandang Mountain, Zhongli.

The Tiandang Mountains are vast, continuous, majestic and profound, and are considered a sacred mountain in the eyes of the barbarians.

Zhongli is the area with the largest land, the richest resources and the largest population among the Jiuli. It is rich in spiritual veins, densely distributed minerals, winding rivers, various places for fishing, hunting and grazing, and large and small tribal villages are scattered all over the place.

The influence of the Cangluan Royal Court here is very great, but it is useless outside of Zhongli. Other places are divided among the princes, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

There is a base camp on the front line, but it is empty. There are basically no people inside. They have all gone out to fight.

After Lin Shan arrived, he hurriedly met the person in charge who stayed behind, who was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

After this person contacted Yin Jiuji, he told him that the Yin Clan of Wushan had already taken joint action with the Wudao Sect and the Mingzhu Sect. At the same time, the three armies would attack in unison and support each other in their charge into Tiandang Mountain!

Having now advanced more than a thousand miles, the three parties agreed to meet in Qibei Town.

There are nine towns in the Cangluan royal court, each of which is garrisoned with a large number of troops and handed over to the governor-general of the nine towns to garrison various places.

Qibei Town is an important town in the northeast and a strategic location that is fought over by military strategists. Its four roads lead to the four Li among the Jiuli. It was captured by the Wudao Sect a few years ago, and later, with the help of the Black Lotus Sect, it was taken back by the Cangluan Royal Court.

This time the three parties put aside their past grudges and united again, determined to win!

"The front line is now unstoppable. We have made a comeback this time and are winning victory after victory. If you can go there quickly, maybe you can get some credit for the victory."

This person pushed the sand table and showed Lin Shan a rough idea of ​​the battlefield situation.

The four chess pieces represent the three major alliances of the human race and the Cang Luan Royal Court. The red, yellow and blue pieces are like three sharp knives inserted into the hinterland, and the green chess pieces are stationed at the passes.

The situation seemed clear and concise, and Lin Shan had a rough idea of ​​it in his mind.

"In that case, let's not delay any further. I will take people there immediately!"

The man nodded and said that he would inform all the units on the front line of his coming. Yin Jiuji then resigned and asked to return, as he could not leave the rear for too long.

After the handover, these two thousand people were equivalent to being assigned to Lin Shan, who was under his full command.

Anyway, they were just temporary cannon fodder, so Wushan Yin family didn't care and gave up power very straightforwardly.

Leave the camp and lead the team south.

It was extremely quiet along the way. The smoke from the war had long since died down, and no one was cleaning up the wreckage on the battlefield. The troops in the front were chasing the enemy relentlessly, and had no time to care about the rear.

The deeper we went, the more traces we found. There were countless places of battle and a constant stream of corpses along the way. Most of them were Green-armored Barbarians, who died in a miserable way, with their heads facing south.

Qibei Town.

A fierce offensive and defensive battle is taking place here at the moment. The densely packed army is rushing in like a tide, and the barbarians guarding the city at the pass are also shoulder to shoulder.

Both sides adopted the human wave tactic!

The three alliances of Wushan Yin Clan, Wudao Sect, and Mingju Sect joined together and urged the death squads to gather and attack the city. The tower ships in the sky kept pouring down artillery fire, and the catapults in the rear were also providing suppression.

"Brother Yunzhao, you lost Qibei Town last time. What did you find different this time when you came back?"

"Nothing is different. Last time I was just careless, and I was unlucky because the spiritual tide rioted, which allowed the other party to succeed in the sneak attack! If it happens again, the result is unknown!"

"Hahaha, I see so too. I thought that with the help of the Black Lotus Sect, these barbarians would be reborn, but it turns out that they are even worse than before!"

"Indeed, Wuguling's Flying Armor Army is an elite force in the Cangluan Royal Court! It ranks third among the Nine Towns' troops, otherwise they wouldn't be stationed specifically to guard Beiqi. Why are they so weak today?"

The Nascent Soul cultivators from the three alliances were watching the battle at this moment. Seeing that the overall situation was getting better and better and the army below was advancing like a rainbow, they couldn't help but talk about it.

They and the Barbarian Royal Court are old rivals, and it is easy to see the subtle differences between them, especially why their combat effectiveness has declined after gaining the support of the Black Lotus Sect.

I even secretly watched out for the other party, wondering if they were showing weakness on purpose or plotting some conspiracy.

And on the other side.

The marshal of one of the nine barbarian towns, Wuguling, clenched his hands tightly and had already crushed the bricks of the city wall. He watched his soldiers retreating step by step, and anxiety grew rapidly in his heart.

"Master, our tribe's men can't hold on any longer. When will you take action?"

Next to him was a Nascent Soul cultivator wearing a black robe embroidered with black lotuses, who was smiling sinisterly:

"Marshal Wu, why are you in such a hurry? We have only just arrived. Qibei Town has no strategic location to defend. If we lose it, it will be lost. There are still several strong passes behind us. The further we go, the harder it will be to fight. It will be easier to lure the enemy deeper into our territory if we extend the front line."

"What do you mean?"

A bad premonition came over Wuguling's heart.

"Didn't you agree to help me before? Why are you standing by and watching now? Are you going to give up Qibei Town? This is the gateway to the Northeast!"

"I know the significance of this important town, but do you think you can defend it with your tribe's strength alone?"

"I"

"Since we can't hold it, why bother? Why not put up a symbolic resistance and then withdraw to join the troops from the next town? Wouldn't your strength become stronger? The enemy's battle line is stretched out and they are forced to stay and garrison. Wouldn't their strength become weaker? In this way, the strengths of the two sides will switch, and the offensive and defensive situation will change~"

"???"

This was the first time Wuguling heard such talk and felt like he was being fooled!
If what you said is true, then my barbarian tribe will just give up all the passes and retreat to the royal court. Then we can gather all the troops from the nine towns and fight a decisive battle with the enemy?

"Master, the royal court sent you here to help me defend the city. Please don't act on your own!"

"Our Saint also said that all Black Lotus disciples can do as they please when they are outside."

"What, Imperial Master???"

"That's right!"

The people of the Black Lotus Sect held their heads high and sneered with disdain, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Their saint was appointed as the national teacher by the chief of the Cangluan royal court. She possessed great power and was second only to the emperor. Of course, she could suppress everyone.

These nine marshals were originally high-ranking officials, but they were still not good enough in front of the imperial teacher. This was also the confidence of all the Black Lotus sect disciples.

Wuguling gritted his teeth, feeling very angry, but knowing that he could not engage in internal fighting when facing a powerful enemy, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and settle for the next best option.

"Well, Master, do whatever you want. I won't worry about it for now. Can you please return my tribe's totem to me? I want to perform a sacrifice to summon the totem and bless and encourage the entire army!"

"Totem? Didn't you give it to me? How can I take it back?"

The people from the Black Lotus Sect were also very surprised and didn't understand what he was doing.

The gnu antelope was furious!
"The totem is a sacred object of my tribe. I agreed to lend it to you before. Now that the city is about to fall, what's wrong with me using it?" "I'm sorry, but the order to confiscate the totems of the nine tribes was issued by the Cangluan Chieftain. We, the Black Lotus Sect, also gave corresponding rewards. It can be considered a deal."

This person was fearless, as if he didn't notice the ugly expression on Wuguling's face.

"Until the deal is done, there's no way the totem pole can be taken back."

"Bastard!"

The tribal elders and officers near the tower could hear their chief's roar, which seemed to be a heated argument with the guru.

"I don't care what you, the Black Lotus Sect, want to do with the totem. You need to help me out first and stabilize the current situation. Otherwise, if you stand aside and watch the city fall and the army is defeated, you will be punished even if you have the support of the national master behind you!"

"I can't give it to you. The totem was sent back to the royal court several days ago. It is now in the hands of the Saint. You can ask her for it."

"I"

A silent storm was brewing inside, and the tribesmen outside were terrified, fearing that the two would start fighting.

While they were arguing, the troops of the three coalition forces outside attacked the city in full force and had already flattened the city gate!

"kill!!!"

Boom boom boom boom~~~
Under the violent sound of war drums, the barbarian army was defeated like small grains of sand on the beach being submerged by the waves.

The defenders in Qibei Town tried their best but were still defeated. They were also unable to withstand the battle between the Jindan and Yuanying stages in the sky. After the city defense formation was broken, they could only retreat with their many men.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Wuguling was about to attack, but he saw that the people of the Black Lotus Cult had already packed up their things and were ready to go. They fled for their lives the moment the city was broken, not caring about the lives of these barbarians at all.

"Okay, okay, the Black Lotus Sect is indeed an ungrateful wolf that can never be tamed. It sucks blood from my Cangluan tribes but doesn't know how to give back. When disaster strikes, it only cares about escaping. If I go back, I will definitely report you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people of the same level had already locked onto him from behind, and the Nascent Soul stage members of the three major human alliances rushed forward!

When Lin Shan arrived at Qibei Town, only a pile of wreckage was left.

A few human monks stayed there to clean up the battlefield harvest and repair the city formations, but the progress was very slow. Most of the troops just looted the enemy hastily and then crossed the pass to pursue and kill.

"The city was captured yesterday?"

He was somewhat surprised at the speed of the three major alliances.

I originally thought that with the support of the Black Lotus Sect, this would be a long and fierce battle, but who knew that it couldn't even last a day and was defeated.

He stepped forward to inquire about the specific situation and learned that the opponent was Wuguling, one of the Nine Towns Marshals, who led the Simon tribe to guard this place. After the city was broken, he tried to organize resistance, but ended in failure and could only flee in embarrassment.

The monks who stayed behind discussed the matter endlessly, and many of the processes puzzled them.

"Why do I feel that the Simon tribe is so weak this time?"

"I think so, too. They were very powerful before. Once the Zhenwu Antelope Totem was out, the Barbarian Patterns added bloodlust and rage, and they could even fight one against three. Why didn't they use it this time?"

"Yes, barbarians don't use totems. Are they still barbarians?"

"Do you think there might be something wrong with their totem?"

"What could go wrong? Isn't the totem a treasure for the tribe to worship? It's a spiritual symbol that has been passed down for a long time. Could it be lost?"

"That's true, but I heard there's also the Black Lotus Cult. How come there's no one here this time?"

"I guess they saw how powerful we are, so they were scared and didn't dare to show up?"

"Ahahahahaha~~~"

Lin Shan saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his heart.

The subordinates behind him who had just signed up for the army were even more envious and jealous when they heard this. They just missed out on such a great achievement and were only one day late. They must have felt so upset!
Everyone was clamoring to rush to the front line to grab the credit, for fear that the people ahead would take all the meat and leave them nothing.

This is how casual cultivators act according to the wind. They smile when the wind is favorable, but they curse when the wind is unfavorable. If they really encounter any trouble, they will probably run faster than rabbits.

Cross Qibei Town and continue south.

This time the corpses on the road were all fresh and hot. There were many hyenas and vultures on the roadside, gathering around to feast on the corpses. It was quite lively after everyone left.

There are also many routes to choose from. After conquering Qibei Town, the three major alliances once again divided their forces to fight everywhere, and finally agreed to meet in Diantu Town.

There are many routes from Qibei Town to Diantu Town. In the vast mountains in between, there are large and small unknown wild tribes and villages, which belong to the barbarian inland.

On the map given by Wanxiangcheng Huitongbaohao before, many red dots named Guwu Village were located nearby.

Lin Shan thought that there was no rush for him anyway, as the three major alliances were leading the front line, so he simply took his men to look for it.

After searching around, I found it.

The barbarian villages were well-informed. After hearing that Qibei Town had fallen, they immediately packed up their belongings and fled, splitting up into small groups and hiding in the mountains.

Everyone can play hide-and-seek, but I won’t go home until the war is over!

This is the only way for refugees in troubled times to escape from war no matter where they are.

The two thousand independent cultivators under his command had just formed an army, but they had never seen any major battles, nor had they gained any military merit. All they did all day was search villages for their superiors, going door to door looking for clues about the Substitute Gu.

Although there is a generous reward for finding it, this is obviously just a bait and pie in the sky. It would be strange if everyone didn't get angry!

There are many crickets secretly, and some of them can't stand the loneliness and sneak away to go to the front line to re-enlist.

Naturally, these people could not escape Lin Shan's eyes. After severely punishing a few troublemakers, the rest of the people became obedient and no one dared to disobey.

Finally, during the great tide, they caught a barbarian tribe migrating on the road.

There are quite a lot of people in this tribe, about a few hundred. The one with the highest cultivation level is an old woman in the late foundation building stage. After being blocked, she was so scared that she knelt down directly!

These barbarians knew that they had no chance of escaping, and each of them showed a look of despair.

Lin Shan ordered a search and seizure of everything.

In less than an incense stick of time, the men presented all kinds of things to the guests, and one of them was a shiny thing inlaid with gems that caught their eyes.

Looks so familiar!
