Lord of the Earth

"Heavenly tribulation, earthly tribulation... the first two have been successfully overcome. But this does not mean that there is nothing to worry about..."

"For this 'promotion', the most difficult part is the 'human calamity'."

White jade in Beijing.

Xia Tian, ​​wearing the Nine-Dragon Emperor's Crown, looked up at the sky with a solemn expression.

There are three tribulations of heaven, earth and man. The first round of "heavenly tribulation" tests the "foundation" represented by the spirit of destiny and the instruments of destiny of a territory.

The second "earth robbery" test is whether the human race can "reasonably utilize" the occupied territory and bring out its value...

As for the final third round of "Human Tribulation", as its name suggests the key is "people", and it tests whether a force of destiny can truly cope with the attack of the "enemy"!

"Eh! There is actually a third level of heavenly tribulation..."

On the viewing platform, the envoys from eight countries also realized something and looked up at the sky with surprise.

It was only because, Baiyujing in the sky had expanded significantly after surviving two heavenly tribulations, and now had reached the "dynasty standard" of 100,000 miles. Suddenly, a large amount of black gas appeared out of thin air in the sea of ​​clouds of luck!

"Is that the aura of catastrophe?"

'Hiss, Bai Yujing has gained too much power, causing the aura of catastrophe to erupt... Is this the third round of catastrophe?'

Then, it suddenly dawned on me that the disappointment in my heart about the "imperial calamity" turned into anticipation.

After all, good fortune is endless, but disaster is boundless!

The Qianxia Dynasty, in a short period of time, not only greatly improved the power of rules condensed by the many "strange buildings" in its own territory, but also added a large number of extraordinary spiritual plants and holy spiritual plants to the territory... Moreover, with the help of the temptation of this "Emperor's Liquid", it subdued hundreds of new alien creatures!
In this way, one's own luck will naturally increase explosively.

In fact, the range that the Qianxia Dynasty's sea of ​​luck and clouds can cover has now increased by more than half from the original 70,000 kilometers, and has officially stepped into the 100,000 kilometers that represents the "dynasty standard"!

The consequence of this sudden increase in a short period of time was that the "power of catastrophe" generated at the same time could not be suppressed, absorbed and transformed by the "spirit of luck" at all, and the third round of "heavenly tribulation" was brewing.

"Look, heaven!"

In Baiyujing, some people who were originally cheering and celebrating for surviving the previous two rounds of heavenly tribulations also noticed the problem. They suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked up with surprise.

A large amount of black air emerged in the sky above the Qianxia Dynasty, gathering together from all directions, like a storm condensing and seemingly trying to form a certain fixed "form".

That was the feeling of a "portal", which gave people a vague sense of extreme danger!

"That is……"

The expressions of some of the people below changed, as if they guessed what it might be.

"Ding, Ang!"

However, the spirit of destiny of the Qianxia Dynasty is not a vegetarian.

The "Human God" who is a thousand feet tall and exudes a sacred aura, and the "Seven-Colored Dragon Carp" whose body shimmers in the sun, two great spirits of destiny both emerged!
A sacred light emanated from their bodies, and they both launched attacks, trying to refine the "black air"!
The spirit of luck itself has the ability to "suppress the aura of catastrophe", although this time the "black energy" is too huge, it is impossible to completely suppress it...

However, this attack still worked,
...The latter expanded too quickly, and under this impact, it quickly condensed and turned into a cloud that filled the sky and the ground, falling in all directions!
They all burst out and turned into creatures of catastrophe!
Across the vast territory of the Qianxia Dynasty, five hundred cities are scattered like stars.

The calm was broken in an instant. As these "black meteors" fell, rolling inky clouds surged above the ground, like a surging black ocean, quickly pressing towards the surrounding cities.

In the dark clouds, green ghostly fire flickered faintly, accompanied by creepy screams and low roars, and it surged in like a black tide that covered the sky and the earth!

Among them was the "Undead Army" composed of orcs, humans, and even other races.

And at the place where the largest "black meteor" fell, there is an "Ice Throne" that is extremely huge in shape, as if it were made up of a large number of skeletons of living creatures. On it stands a king creature wearing a huge metal armor!
"Hmm, does this appear to be... the Scourge?"

Even the Qianxia Dynasty was somewhat shocked by this scene.

It was simply because Xia Tian had witnessed a similar scene once before at the "Treasure Appraisal Conference"!
At that time, several lords who formed the "Royal Guild" took out the "Frostmourne", the famous sword representing the identity of the leader of the Scourge, reflecting a similar scene!
Although the Lich King who possessed "Frostmourne" was destroyed, the "Scourge" seemed to be retained.

"Swallow and destroy everything..."

Today, an overwhelming army of "natural disasters" has appeared across the entire territory of the Qianxia Dynasty.

Although it is called a "natural disaster", it actually represents a "man-made disaster". The number of these disasters exceeds tens of millions, and they attacked cities all over the Qianxia Dynasty at the same time!

"It's actually the Scourge Legion... Can the Qianxia Dynasty handle it?"

Even the expression on Mr. Xing's face changed.

As a "professional player", he is very aware of the horror of this "Scary Legion"...

That was a catastrophe that swept across the continent of Azeroth, where demigods existed...

The most terrifying thing about this "Scourge" is that it can be "infectious" like a plague, turning living beings into "undead creatures"...

And through the method of "fighting to support fighting", not only will the number of his own team not decrease in the battle, but it will even grow bigger like a snowball...

"Hmm, the aura of catastrophe turned out to be a group of undead spirits? It feels so familiar after such a long time..."

Only the top leaders of the Qianxia Dynasty looked calm.

Except for the "Bone Old Man" who created the "flesh and blood" and showed a nostalgic expression, no one was afraid!
It's just because we have been prepared for the attack of these catastrophic creatures and naturally have a response.

"The four armies will go out to defend the spiritual land of King Qianxia. We must not let these calamity creatures set foot in the city of Qianxia!"

The next moment, in the "Spirit Realm Live Broadcast", a towering figure holding a sword and wearing black armor walked out.

It was none other than the head of the military affairs palace of the Qianxia Dynasty, who had now become the peerless genius "Bai Qi"!
A "white bone relic tower" appeared above his head, and he held a flag in his hand. The front of the flag had the words "Qian Xia" written on it, and the back had the words "Tian Xing Dao"!
"Blue Dragon Legion, obey orders!"

"White Tiger Army, obey orders!" "Black Tortoise Army, ..."

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise...

The four major legions of the Qianxia Dynasty each garrisoned an area.

Nowadays, the four legions are already fully staffed. Each legion, together with the auxiliary arms, has nearly one million people. Under the leadership of some middle-level generals, they gather into military formations, and an endless aura of killing rises into the sky!

In addition, in the major cities, a large number of people are ready to fight under the leadership of the generals and officers defending the city, and even the human lords affiliated with the Qianxia Dynasty!

"Come on, you, a mere catastrophe creature, want to invade my Qianxia Dynasty?"

"Who gave you such courage? Fish Leong!"

Even though the aura of catastrophe has erupted and spawned a "catastrophe army" numbering tens of millions, the people of the Qianxia Dynasty do not feel very panicked!

This is the long-standing invincible achievement of the Qianxia Dynasty, which gives the grassroots people enough confidence and makes them know that no matter how powerful the enemy is, they cannot stop the progress of the Qianxia Dynasty!

“Huh, the Scourge, huh?
"It can spread the 'plague' during battle, transforming living beings into undead creatures..."

"Yes, this kind of calamity creature is undoubtedly a huge threat to the living, but if the opponent is a dead person, is it still a threat?"

There were military generals from the Qianxia Dynasty, with expressions of disdain on their faces.

Rumble!
In the area of ​​the Qianxia Dynasty, the ground beneath each city began to tremble violently, and a dull roar came from deep underground, as if an ancient giant beast was about to awaken.

The heavy stone slabs slowly moved to both sides, and countless terracotta warriors emerged from the ground one after another. They were wearing ancient armor, holding bronze weapons that shone coldly, with stern faces and an unwavering will in their eyes.

The first to rush out were rows of crossbowmen and terracotta warriors. They raised their powerful crossbows in unison, with exactly the same movements!
"Wind, wind, wind!"

Countless crossbow arrows, with sharp whistling sounds, shot towards the Scourge like a rainstorm. The crossbow arrows penetrated the bodies of the undead, and some fragile skeletons were instantly shot down and scattered into a pile of broken bones.

But the Scourge was too numerous, and the undead behind them continued to rush forward madly, stepping on the remains of their companions.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Then, the terracotta warriors holding long swords shouted and charged forward, their steps were neat and powerful, and the ground shook slightly under their footsteps. The moment they came into contact with the army of undead, the shouts of killing and the sound of weapons colliding intertwined, deafening.

Although the Terracotta Warriors' weapons were made of bronze and even had spots of rust on them, every swing of their weapons carried a tremendous force, killing the approaching "natural scourge undead" one after another and smashing them into bone fragments on the ground.

"Fight, fight, fight..."

At the back of the battlefield, there were some tall general figurines, with sharp eyes, wielding long spears in their hands, directing the battle.

Whenever they gave an order, the Terracotta Warriors would quickly change their formations and work closely together to break up the Scourge's attacks and intercept them outside the city of the Qianxia Dynasty!
On the battlefield, with the death of a large number of "Disaster Army", a large amount of soul power emerged and was directly absorbed by the Terracotta Warriors.

Not only does it make the surface material of each Terracotta Warrior stronger, it also makes the weapons in their hands sharper, ignoring the rotten and rusty swords of the Scourge.

The rust on the bronze disappeared, and it looked as sharp as if it had just been cast.

Some of the Terracotta Warriors were "promoted" after they killed a large number of "natural disaster soldiers" in succession. Their bodies became taller and they even gained various new "talents and characteristics"...

[Terracotta Warriors and Horses·Barracks (Xuanhuang)]

[Type] Strange objects·Architecture

【characteristic】

Fight to support the war (consume luck, can transform the "remnant souls" of alien races killed in the battle into terracotta warriors, the memory of the transformed alien remnant souls will be modified and they will have great loyalty to the lord)
Underground marching (the military camps of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses will be able to move underground, and they can use luck to differentiate into certain ‘branch camps’)
Recruit terracotta warriors (can summon terracotta warriors with the "military merit upgrade" feature, the total number is capped at 5 million)
Reincarnation (consume Qi to awaken the surrounding humans, or the souls of deceased residents of the territory, and after their consent, they can be integrated into the Terracotta Warriors to increase their spirituality)
Military merits can lead to nobility (Terracotta Warriors have the characteristics of military merits and nobility, and their memory can be gradually restored while upgrading their grades)

[Explanation] Through "Military Merit Award", the highest rating that can be promoted to "Jade White" is achieved.

This is why the "Scourge" from Azeroth makes people feel so scared.

The biggest point is the existence of the "Plague of the Undead", which can directly transform people into "natural disaster creatures"!
In this way, "fighting to support war", if not handled properly, just a few "natural disaster creatures" may turn into a real "natural disaster" sweeping thousands of miles in a short period of time!
Faced with this "scourge of the undead", ordinary people will be greatly restricted because they cannot avoid the interference of the plague!

However, this problem does not exist with the Terracotta Warriors.

After all, they are strictly speaking a kind of "undead spirits", so there is no such thing as being "contaminated" again.
On the contrary, the Terracotta Warriors themselves have the ability to devour the undead to "fight to support the war", plus the powerful ability to "be awarded titles for military merit"!
"Moreover, after being upgraded to a Xuanhuang heavy weapon, the upper limit of the number of troops that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Barracks can undertake has increased significantly, from the original 100,000 of the jade white quality... to 5 million..."

You know, the city with the largest population in the entire Qianxia Dynasty is undoubtedly Baiyujing. It has now become a "giant city" comparable to the modern ones in later generations, with a population of only about five million.

Although this is to avoid "traffic congestion and food supply" inconveniences, it has to a certain extent restricted the population entry.

Otherwise, it might be possible to become a super city with a population of tens of millions!
From this we can see that the "five million" upper limit of the Terracotta Warriors is indeed a bit "exaggerated".

This means that the Qianxia Dynasty can deploy tens of thousands of soldiers in each of the 500 cities, and these tens of thousands of soldiers can be replenished after they die in battle!

"Let's use this Scourge Legion as the first battle in the expansion of my Terracotta Army!"

Xia Tian stood on the back of the "Seven-Colored Dragon Carp", and the voice from his mouth was like thunder, spreading throughout the entire Qianxia Dynasty!
The appearance of the Terracotta Warriors, plus the original four major legions of "Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise", means that the total number of regular troops that the Qianxia Dynasty can now mobilize is close to five million!

This is an extremely astonishing number.

After all, in theory, a "dynasty of fortune" has a population of no more than a million.

The number of troops in the Qianxia Dynasty was equivalent to the total population of some dynasties!
This is just the regular army. Considering that every major city also has armed forces like "Tiger Guard Battalion and Patrol Team"!

In addition, the Qianxia Dynasty itself was a "military-based country", and everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, practiced the "Five Animal Exercises", and half of the population had already reached the "transcendent" level!
At this time, people from all the major cities spontaneously took out their weapons and went up to the city walls to kill the enemy.

Although the number of these undead disasters exceeds tens of millions, it is absolutely difficult to shake the foundation of the Qianxia Dynasty! (End of this chapter)
