Magic Martial Arts

All in all, the outcome of this battle was something no one expected...

For the Tai'an Kingdom represented by Su Chen, this was a miraculous victory! They created a staggering myth with their brilliant record of killing 28 guardsmen and capturing nearly enemy soldiers. What was even more amazing was that there was no casualty or "zero" casualty on their side, which was undoubtedly a great feat and miracle in the history of the Demonic War.

At the same time, for the Tianwu Empire represented by Wu Anshan, this defeat came so suddenly that it caught people off guard. Not only did they lose Wu Ganming, the great general who was feared by the Tianwu, but they also watched helplessly as 300,000 elite troops became prisoners. Such a result was undoubtedly a heavy and loud blow to the entire Tianwu Empire, and it would surely cause an uproar.

In addition, Su Chen's reputation as the "Paper General" spread like wildfire, quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Fighting Continent, and became a topic of discussion among people.

No one knew where the wind came from, but it spread quickly to every corner of the continent like a plague.

"Whoever gets the 'Paper General' can get the world!"

This rumor seemed to have a magical power, making people crazy. It was like a fire, igniting the desires and ambitions deep in people's hearts; it was also like a gust of wind, stirring up endless waves and topics. For a time, the entire continent fell into an unprecedented frenzy, which really caught Chen off guard.

At the same time, after this fierce battle, the apparent number of troops of the Tianwu Empire dropped sharply to about 700,000 like a receding tide. However, if the redundant "water" was squeezed out, the actual number of troops might be reduced by about 100,000, perhaps only more than 600,000 troops.

In sharp contrast, the situation in Tai'an is quite different. Although its apparent military strength remains at more than 300,000, in fact, through the careful training of nearly 300,000 "captives" who were captured and brainwashed... oh no, it should be said that they have undergone "ideological transformation", these people have gradually integrated into the harmonious and friendly emerging country of Tai'an like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. In this situation of one rising and the other falling, the military strength between the two countries has become equal.

In addition to this, Su Chen also did something that had a far-reaching impact and was of extraordinary significance, which was the so-called "wedding welcoming movement" - oh, by the way, the "relatives" here refer to "relatives" and "family members", don't get the wrong idea... it's not about picking up the "bride"!

Therefore, for a long period of time, Su Chen carefully planned and personally arranged all of this: he first dispatched the Soul Chasing and Iron Hand troops to split into two groups, and once again led the Paper Ant Army responsible for the transportation of materials, spending a lot of manpower and material resources before successfully escorting the families of the 300,000 soldiers captured from Tianwu back to Zhen'an City safely and secretly from the Tianwu base camp. Then he arranged for his trusted soldiers to send their relatives back to them one by one!

There is no doubt that doing so would require a huge price, and the whole process is extremely cumbersome and complicated. However, Su Chen believes that he must do so for a very simple reason:

"People are made of flesh and blood. When the family is safe, the country is safe. When the country is safe, there is peace!"

This is also the foundation for the establishment of "Tai'an Kingdom".

Of course, the impact of this massive "wedding campaign" was also very positive. First of all, both the natives of "Tai'an" and the captives who had undergone ideological transformation deeply realized a serious and far-reaching problem, which was:

"'Tai'an Country' is our common home. Only by working together can we make it a better place!"

At this moment, everyone's inner thoughts seemed to have reached a high degree of consistency and unity.

As for the resistance to this, it seems that there is really no resistance. Perhaps it is because the number of families and relatives of these captured generals and soldiers is so large that it is unimaginable; or it is because the entire "Tianwu" Empire does not take them seriously, thinking that they are just some insignificant little people, not worthy of attention and protection! Whatever the reason, it led to the unusual smoothness of this "wedding reception", which can be said to be smooth and without any obstacles.

But behind this seemingly calm situation, how many unknown stories and emotions are hidden? Are these captives filled with fear and despair? Do they long for freedom and companionship? And what are the considerations and motivations of those who decide to abandon them? These questions can only be answered by the parties involved. However, as a bystander, we cannot help but think about this question: in a huge empire, every life should be respected and cared for, regardless of their identity and status. Otherwise, when the "empire" faces a disaster, how can people guarantee their own hearts?

Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. Without water, there would be no boat. Without people, there would be no world!
