dawn of dynasty

The green dragon flew all the way north, but instead of flying towards Chongling Province, it deflected eastward and finally arrived at Jiyan Valve.

The Jiyan Clan is a warlord adjacent to the Chongling Clan and occupies Jiyan Province.

The area is about the same as Chongling Province. It runs east-west and has a relatively long and narrow shape. Like Chongling Province, Jiyan Province is also mountainous, with only a few medium-sized plains near the seaside.

However, compared with Chongling Province, the average altitude of Jiyan Province is much lower.

The commander-in-chief of Jiyan Province is quite decent, but old-style warlords are just that, no matter how decent they are.

There is no way, the times are like this, and the society is like this.

The Jiyan Clan had been fighting against the Chongling Clan in the early stage, thinking that while the Chongling Clan was bearing the huge pressure from the Xianan Clan in the south, they could take the opportunity to bite off some pieces of meat from the Chongling Clan.

It also really bit off a few pieces of meat.

But on the one hand, its strength is about the same as that of the Chongling Clan. Even if Shen Guanye killed two of his 14th-level heroic spirits and many 12th- and 13th-level heroic spirits, the Jiyan Clan could not have an absolute advantage.

On the other hand, the Jiyan Clan later had trouble of its own, and this trouble was the Fuso Kingdom.

There are several maritime traffic arteries above Nanyang, and ships traveling between Xiyang, Tianxia and Fusang need to pass through these arteries.

It can be said that these important thoroughfares are both commercial and trade hubs and military strongholds. They are of great commercial and military value now. In the future, as technology continues to develop and the world's economy and trade become more prosperous, their importance will only increase.

Unfortunately, these maritime traffic arteries were all occupied by foreign powers.

Among the major powers, except for the Kingdom of Gaobao, which was not occupied, the remaining three major powers, Zhongxing, Iris, and Fusang, each had one person - when a war would break out between Zhongxing and Fusang, what would happen to these important sea routes? Competition is also a factor.

The three major sea routes have different geographical locations, but they are all uniquely located and connect different sea areas. Among them, the sea route closest to Tianxia is occupied by the Fuso Kingdom.

This important road is not even the one with the lowest value among the three main roads, but is ranked second.

Because although the national power of Fusang Kingdom is worse than that of Iris Kingdom, after all, Fusang Kingdom is closer to here than Iris Kingdom, and the difficulty of projecting power between the two sides is not at the same level.

Only the Star Nation, which is unparalleled in national power, can ignore these objective conditions and firmly occupy the number one important road.

Fusang Kingdom occupies this important road. Every day, a large number of merchant ships travel between Fusang, Iris, Gaobao, and even Black Witch Continent, bringing a large amount of goods to both parties.

This includes weapons, minerals, heroic spirits, etc. Because Fusang Kingdom has gone to war with Tianxia, ​​these things are in short supply in Fusang Kingdom.

As an island country, Fuso is not small in area, but its various resources are certainly inferior to those of the mainland. Therefore, it is very important for them to occupy this maritime transportation artery.

Of course, if you can take over Tianxia and occupy Tianxia's vast territory, you no longer have to worry about resource issues.

Fuso dreams of replicating Zhongxing's path to dominance.

As long as they can conquer Tianxia, ​​they don't mind moving the capital at all.

It is still unclear who will be the world's most powerful country by then.

In the eyes of the Fuso people, if they could really conquer Tianxia, ​​with Tianxia's background and talents, they would be as powerful as the Star Kingdoms and would be a head shorter than them.

This important road is so important that the Tianxia people will not ignore it. Since the war began, they have never stopped sneak attacks and destruction of sea lanes.

As a great power, Fuso Kingdom would not always be passively defensive. It soon chose to take the initiative.

Not only did they deal a harsh blow to the sneak attack team, they also began to actively attack the southern part of Tianxia, ​​including the Jiyan Clan.

The best way to ensure the safety of a certain place is to expand the territory. The larger the territory, the safer the place you want to ensure safety.

Anyway, Tianxia and Fusang have already started a war. Attacking Tianxia's mainland is not a problem at all for Fusang. On the contrary, it will help expand the territory!

At this time, many warlords in southern Tianxia suffered disaster, including the Jiyan clan.

The Jiyan Clan can even be said to have suffered an unreasonable disaster, because several warlords secretly sent out teams to destroy the ships of the Fusang Kingdom. On the one hand, the Jiyan Clan was fighting in the west and had no time to care. On the other hand, because He was afraid of the power of Fusang Kingdom and did not want to cause trouble, so he did not quietly carry out sabotage.

But in war, how can you avoid getting yourself in trouble if you don’t want to get yourself in trouble?

Although Jiyan Province does not have the highest status among the coastal provinces in southern Tianxia, ​​its geographical location is also very important. Naturally, it suffered a blow from the Fusang Kingdom.

And Xia Nan Valve? It was one of the people who secretly wreaked havoc at the beginning, and it was even the one who wreaked the greatest damage among them - it was so powerful!

Nowadays, the strength of the Xia Nan Clan can only be surpassed by the Ghost Clan that occupies the name of the central government.

Later, when the Fusang Kingdom began to invade the southern provinces, Shen Guanye sent troops to support it.

Inoue Qingxi and the 5,000 people she led were the main support team.

Among these five thousand people, the proportion of Apocalypse is extremely high, because after several years, the effects of the Five Zang Gods have gradually appeared, and large numbers of people have begun to awaken and become Apocalypse, many of whom have passed the age of awakening.

Not only that, this team of five thousand people also has powerful heroic spirits.

Not only did each Apocalypse contract the upper limit of the Heroic Spirits they could contract, but the configuration of Heroic Spirits in each squad, each squadron, each brigade and even the entire brigade was very "luxurious" and full of aura.

Most of this luxurious heroic spirit configuration relies on non-god-type heroic spirits.

Although Shen Guanye now has a large number of deity lairs, half of them are suitable for guarding the home, such as the Four Seasons God, the Solar Terms God, the Yuanchen God General, the Mountain God, the Water God, the House God, and the Five Immortals.

Even the gods of the five internal organs and the gods of twenty-four scenes are not suitable for going to the front line.

The only ones who are really suitable for going to the front line are the God of Tiangang, the God of Earthly Evil, the God of Day Travel, the God of Night Travel, the God of Six Ding Liujia, the God of Grass Head, and the Yellow Turban Hercules.

This eliminates half the quantity.

As for the remaining half, Shen Guanye's time to obtain the deity lair was relatively short after all. How could it compare to the years of accumulation by Mr. Su, the Bai family, and the broken warlords?

Especially the heroic spirits under Pei Zu.

That is the accumulation of many years of warlord destruction. With so many lairs and so many years of recruitment, how many heroic spirits must be accumulated? Even though many people died in that battle, the number of remaining heroes was still huge.

Far exceeding Shen Guanye's accumulation over the years.

If merit and money hadn't accelerated the birth of heroic spirits, the heroic spirits in Shen Guanye's hands wouldn't even be a fraction of this massive number of heroic spirits.

The addition of these heroic spirits made the Xia Nan Clan, which was already rich in number of heroic spirits, even richer, almost to the point of becoming extremely rich.

After all, it still has less than 20 million people, right?

However, although the luxurious preparation of heroic spirits mainly relies on non-god-type heroic spirits, Shen Guanye is not shy about the distribution of god-type heroic spirits. Although it is impossible for a person to have a group of Liuding Liujia God, it is still satisfying to have one Liuding Liujia God inhabiting each person.

In addition, three groups of earth evil gods are also equipped.

There is also the commander Inoue Qingxi. Her personal strength is not extraordinary. A seventh-level Yueyao Onmyoji, even a top-level profession, is equivalent to a ninth-level apocalypse.

But she has a red maple mirror in her hand!

A tan snake equivalent to a 14th-level heroic spirit, three dog gods with 12th-level or even nearly 13th-level combat power, plus numerous dog ghosts and tube foxes.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that Inoue Qingxi can form an army by one person, but with full firepower, so many shikigami surged out, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

The white clouds were leisurely. When they were about to arrive at their destination, Shen Guanye put away the green dragon and went with Su Yuan to the place where Inoue Qingxi was stationed.

The soldiers were alerted as soon as they landed, and soon Inoue Qingxi rushed over.

The experience of the war has made Inoue Qingxi's youthful and shy body fade away, and his whole person looks much more capable, with a little more iron and fire flavor on his face.

To Shen Guanye's surprise, there was another person who came to greet him.

"Captain Shen, I have heard about his name for a long time, but today I finally met him."

An imposing middle-aged man laughed and greeted Shen Guanye, his words and deeds vaguely placing himself in a lower position.

"Captain Qu, I've heard about his name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him today."

Shen Guanye said politely.

The person who came was none other than Governor Qu Liangqu, the head of the Jiyan Clan.

Although the two families were not far apart, Shen Guanye and he had never met before. They had not met before when they participated in important meetings in Beichen City. When they arrived at their respective territories, they had not arranged a meeting, not even the alliance. Managed by my subordinates.

However, Shen Guanye was not too surprised that Qu Liang would come to greet him in person.

Although they are older than him and have more seniority than him, in this world, strength is king.

Now Shen Guanye's status is much higher than that of his opponent, and his strength is beyond doubt. Even his position has surpassed that of his opponent. In the past few years, in order to match his strength and contribution, the Central Committee The government promoted him many times.

Although he is still known as Governor Shen today, in terms of his position, he is already at the top of many warlords and is almost out of promotion.

As the weaker party, Governor Qu is more attentive, which is normal.

What's more, Shen Guanye came here just for him and for the many warlords in the south.

Because Fuso recently sent a strong man at the national level.

At first, in order to protect this golden waterway, the Fuso State faction had two 13th-level masters stationed here. However, these two 13th-level masters were not the main force. The real main force was a group of 14 people whose number reached double digits. Rank heroic spirit.

So many 14th-level heroic spirits are enough to ensure the safety of the waterway, and the effect is even better than having a country-level powerhouse.

Because a powerful person at the national level cannot be separated, unlike the 14th-level heroic spirit, which can be dispersed to expand the safety range.

These 14th-level heroic spirits have put a lot of pressure on the warlords in the south. Now that Fusang Kingdom has another powerful person at the state-level, the pressure is naturally even greater.

With the strength of a country-level powerhouse, if we don't have a country-level powerhouse on our side, then every battle will cost the lives of countless heroic spirits. Once or twice is fine, but who can bear it more times?

Not to mention that the powerful person at the national level on the opposite side may initiate a beheading operation.

Therefore, it is necessary to invite a country-level powerhouse to come and take charge, and there happen to be two country-level powerhouses nearby.

Shen Guanye came here just to stand up for everyone.

If given the chance, he would even want to kill the powerful man from the Fuso Kingdom.

Shen Guanye did not delay for too long, nor did he mean to put on airs with Qiao. He quickly rushed to the front line - Tiannan City together with Inoue Qingxi and Qu Liang.

Tiannan City is the most important city in the southern region of Tianxia. It is even more prosperous than Pojun City and Wuqu City. It is the third economic city in Tianxia, ​​second only to Beichen and Donghai.

Thousands of years ago, it was the southern gateway to Tianxia and an important trading center.

This is not only because Tiannan City has a superior geographical location, but also because it can go all the way north along the waterway and directly into the hinterland of Tianxia, ​​and the area it can pass along the way is extremely wide.

And all this stems from the middle reaches of Tianchuan. After passing Beichen City, it is divided into two parts. The main stream is still the same as the upper reaches, running from west to east, rushing to the sea and never returning. It flows into the sea at Donghai City. middle.

The other tributary runs north-south, turning out from Tianchuan and heading south, entering the sea at Tiannan City. Tiannan City actually means "south of Tianchuan".

Although the runoff of this tributary is not comparable to that of the main stream, it is still one of the largest rivers in Tianxia. Shipping is extremely convenient, and it has also contributed to many prosperous towns along the waterway.

The focus of this battle is Tiannan City.

Soon, Shen Guanye arrived at Tiannan City. Because of his arrival, all the Tiannan Clan leaders who were not supposed to be on the front line came to the front line in person - otherwise, all the powerful people in the country would have arrived, and you, the Clan Leader , or the one who took the initiative to invite the other party to come over, but did not greet him personally, is it justified?

The strength of the Tiannan clan is not bad, and it is the largest warlord in Tianxia after the five major warlords.

Of course, now it’s the Big Six.

The Tiannan Clan controls three provinces. In terms of area, it is no smaller than the Bilong Clan, and in terms of economic strength, it is not inferior to the Bilong Clan because there is a prosperous big city like Tiannan City sitting in it.

However, if it was just like this, the Nan clan would not be enough to defend the big city of Tiannan City that day.

The reason why Tiannan City was able to be defended was that, in addition to its own strength, there were two other reasons.

First, it has a good relationship with the central government. The status of Tiannan City is actually somewhat similar to that of Donghai City, except that Donghai City is directly controlled by the central government, while Tiannan City is slightly farther away.

But even so, it is very different from Pojun City and Wuqu City, which are similar to a country within a country.

A large part of Tiannan City's commercial taxes are handed over to the central government, and it has always listened to the central government. It rarely disobeys, and at most it does so in a shady manner.

The second reason is that the Tiannan Clan is very good at uniting people. It formed the "Five-Warlords Alliance" with four warlords, including the Jiyan Clan next door, and the territory actually controlled by these five warlords reached eight provinces.

This size is no smaller than the six major warlords in Tianxia, ​​and is even much stronger than the Wuqu Clan, Bilong Clan, and Xia Nan Clan, which have smaller spheres of influence. (End of chapter)
