Chapter 740 The Human Army's Systematic Warfare, Three Different Blood Sacrifice Modes, and the Demon Race's Counterattack

The human army pressed forward relentlessly, like a bulldozer, forcing the demon alliance to retreat step by step.

The demon race is performing terribly and is in grave danger.

The demons performed better, but were quickly overtaken by the humans.

Originally, with the rise of the demonic path, both the demon race and the monster race produced a large number of peerless geniuses, any one of whom had the opportunity to grow into a powerful figure.

For example, the relentlessly fearless [Lama] personally leads the charge on the front lines. As long as it doesn't kill all nine of its own lives in one go, it is truly immortal, slaying numerous human elites.

For example, the Beastmaster King's [Tiger Comes] controls countless vultures and eagles to attack the human army in the air, and even throw objects from the air, which makes the human army unable to bear it and has to send out Yuanling experts to snipe the flying army in the air.

Besides the two, the one who caused the most trouble for the human race was the peerless genius who maintained this demonic front, the Lord of the Earth, [Book Desk].

It can shape the terrain, almost like an earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability), and can build fortifications, dragon teeth, and barricades at an extremely fast speed to hinder the advance of the human race.

Compared to the smooth progress of the demon race's front, the demon race made very little progress at the beginning, and even suffered some losses.

Human soldiers must engage in brutal street battles with demon soldiers in every fortified castle.

The demon army relied on its positions to resist step by step and retreat.

For a time, the exchange ratio between demons and humans showed a certain upward trend.

In particular, the concentration of geniuses among the demon race is even higher than that among the monster race. Ultimately, the biggest beneficiary of the rise of the demonic path is the demon race.

For example, on the battlefield, a demon prodigy roared:

"We can't retreat! We have nowhere left to retreat!"

"The fortress built by General Shutai was for this very moment."

"We must fight a desperate battle against the human race in every bunker and every position."

"For every human killed, one more life will remain on the grassland."

"Brothers, follow me!"

"Take back this bunker!"

The demon soldiers, whose morale was low and who were planning to retreat, now saw their centurion's passionate leadership and charged forward, and immediately shouted:

"Yes, my lord!"

"We, who are ready to die, salute you!"

A battle involving millions of troops, a decisive struggle for the fate of two races, is no child's play.

The most courageous, talented, and gifted genius among the demons will shed his last drop of blood in this great war.

Just as Qin Yang led his team to capture a bunker, the demon chieftain led his soldiers back, as if to retake the bunker.

A murderous look immediately appeared on his face.

Qin Yang possesses the talent of [Blood Fiend]. The more people he kills, the more fiendish energy he accumulates, and the stronger he becomes. Since arriving on the battlefield, he has lost count of how many demon warriors he has killed.

He didn't know the name of the centurion in front of him, only that the man was extremely dangerous and could incite his soldiers to engage in the most brutal street fighting.

We must kill it.

The two sides met at the gate of the bunker, exchanging no words, their only thought being each other's lives.

kill!

Shadow Sword Technique - Shadow Pierce the Heart!
The fierce fighting echoed in the unknown bunkers on the front lines.

The two, one human and one demon, had no prior enmity, yet now their faces contorted in a ferocious expression.

They only wanted the other person's life.

This is war, the most primitive and brutal form of slaughter.

After an unknown amount of time, when the demon's centurion fell, a look of relief appeared on Qin Yang's face.

That was close, I almost died.

He coughed twice, coughing up blood, and quickly took a Rejuvenating Pill to treat his injuries.

The Rejuvenation Pills produced by Xinglin Group, especially those made by the physician Fang Xinran, contain rejuvenating power and have remarkable effects. Every soldier has fallen in love with them.

Just take one pill, and it can temporarily suppress any internal or external injury.

"Lord Commander, are you alright?"

Dan Ziye, a centurion under Qin Yang, rushed over to check on things. Qin Yang coughed twice and said:

"Ahem, Ziye."

"I'm fine, how are the brothers?"

Dan Ziye once challenged the Young Heroes Gathering in Tianjing, but was defeated by Liu Xingyun with a single spear thrust. However, Chu Wujiang saw that he had the potential to achieve great things later in life, so he took him in as a retainer. (Note: Chapter 456)
Now he has joined the Heroic Army and serves as a centurion.

The trials of the battlefield tempered Dan Ziye, washing away his youthful impetuosity and making him more composed.

He quickly replied:
"Lord Commander, this one is tough; he's no ordinary demon commander."

"One-third of our brothers have been lost, and the rest are all injured. It must be a prodigy."

"If the adults hadn't killed it beforehand, causing the enemy's morale to collapse, we would probably be the ones who died."

Now Dan Ziye truly understands how vast the sky is and how thick the earth is. Seeing that Qin Yang was able to defeat such a powerful enemy, he felt a sense of admiration.

Qin Yang shook his head and said:
"No, it's not that I'm amazing, it's that His Majesty is amazing."

"Without His Majesty's bestowal of the [Sharp Warrior (Blue)] martial fortune, I would probably be dead here."

"Furthermore, its talent lies in battlefield command, not individual combat skills."

Qin Yang let out a long breath. This time he had truly escaped death. Looking at the body of the demon chieftain, he calmly added:
"So what if they're geniuses? This place has no shortage of geniuses and prodigies."

Qin Yang still didn't know the other person's name. If the longsword had been slightly higher, he would have been the one to fall.

Dan Ziye is said to be lucky, and indeed, carrying him around has a very good effect.

In this great battle, the demon prodigies died like wild dogs, their names unknown.

Qin Yang didn't dwell on his sorrow for long before saying in a deep voice:

"But the exchange ratio is wrong, and the losses are too great."

"We shouldn't attack bunkers like that."

Dan Ziye quickly said:
"Lord Commander, what do you mean?"

Qin Yang coughed twice and said:
"The enemy's bunkers are very strong. It would take too many lives for us to break through them."

"The enemy is gradually improving its tactics, and their growth rate is astonishing."

"We should think of something."

"Have it!"

Qin Yang is considered a veteran who followed the Heroic Army. After this period of training, his growth has been astonishing. He is now able to fluently use tactics to annihilate the enemy.

His performance as the leader of the team was outstanding among the heroes; otherwise, Chu Wujiang would not have rewarded him with the corresponding military fortune.

After careful consideration, Qin Yang suddenly had an idea.

Dan Ziye quickly asked:
"Lord Commander, what do you suggest we do?"

Qin Yangmei spoke to the wall of the bunker:
"We should blow up these walls and attack from the side. We can't let the enemy predict our attack position!"

"Don't launch a frontal attack, attack from the flank!"

Just like during the Soviet-German War, when both sides were engaged in brutal street fighting, they found that if they went through the gate, they would easily encounter enemy snipers.

However, breaching the wall and attacking from the side makes it easier to catch the opponent off guard and dismantle them.

As a grassroots combatant, Qin Yang could not see the overall development of the battle, but he was able to offer new insights and tactics at the tactical level.

His opinion was quickly reported up the chain of command.

The King of Qin's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised:
"good idea."

"Immediately notify the entire army that when attacking the demon's stronghold, they should pay attention to the use of reasonable tactics and minimize casualties."

"Every battlefield commander must understand one principle: achieve the greatest results with the least cost."

"You must take the initiative and completely destroy the enemy!"

Just like Chu Wujiang's previous life, modern military reforms often adopt a flat management structure for battalion-level units to fully utilize and mobilize the tactical capabilities of battalion-level officers.

This is a significant change brought about by information technology.

The war command model has shifted from a vertical command structure to a flat, network-like structure.

The King of Qin was unaware of modern military reforms; he only used his own Black Dragon Dharma Image to establish an information network that could provide timely feedback to his nine million-strong army.

On the vast front of more than 800 kilometers, commanders on every battlefield could propose tactical reforms to the King of Qin.

These changes coincide with the transformations of the information age.

King Qin quickly absorbed the combat command wisdom of frontline personnel and, through Chu Wujiang's demonic thoughts, summarized these experiences and disseminated them to the grassroots level.

Originally, for the human race's legions to grow stronger, they needed repeated practice, and the King of Qin could only accelerate the improvements through orders.

But Chu Wujiang's existence only exacerbated all of this.

By releasing the thoughts of the Heavenly Demon, he completed the creation of the Inheritance Crystal, enabling human officers to grasp and understand it as quickly as possible, thus improving tactics.

In the past, Nangong Wang improved the General's Command, and the power of the General's Formation was enhanced to the extreme, making him the most outstanding general in six hundred years and the war god of the human race.

Now, Chu Wujiang and the King of Qin have joined forces to create the Inheritance Crystal and an information-based command network, which has continuously improved the tactical efficiency of the human army.

All of this drove the demon alliance to the brink of destruction.

Although Bai Ge was a military genius and did his best to train the demon race's officer corps, the time was ultimately too short.

The demon army could not overcome the human army's systematic combat tactics; their geniuses and prodigies could only use their flesh and blood to stop the human race's advance.

If this battle continues, the demon alliance will surely be defeated.

Bai Ge and the others had originally hoped that with the blessing of the demonic fortune, the army would gain the upper hand.

Now they have given up hope.

Bai Ge decided to accelerate the growth of the demon race once again, using the entire blood sacrifice to strengthen the powerful warriors of the grasslands.

Only those who can fight can surrender.

Strangely enough, Mr. Zhen also gave absolute instructions:

"Bai Ge, the Demon Saint."

"If you want to win, you must do everything in your power to inflict a heavy blow on the Mandate of Heaven Dynasty."

"Only when enough blood is born from the Death Grassland can we help you defeat Chu Wujiang."

Zhen, Qiong, and Ji all stared at the battlefield with solemn expressions.

For them to win, they must at least inflict heavy damage on the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty's army, which would make it easier to detonate the Holy Emperor's Grand Array next.

But now the clash between the two armies has proven that the King of Qin is superior in command and is currently the most suitable military commander in the world to lead large-scale battles.

Chu Wujiang's method of using the inheritance crystal to enable commanders to quickly master improved tactics and share experiences was a nightmare-inducing phenomenon.

On a tactical level, Bai Ge and Yao Sheng are inferior to Qin Wang and Chu Wujiang.

Perhaps in the future, Bai Ge will become the greatest commander in the world.

The Asura King's luck will help him grow at an extremely rapid pace.

but not now.

Li Shimin lost to Xue Ju, and Temujin lost to Jamukha. Even top military geniuses need time to grow.

The Qin king's six hundred years of war experience and the tactical system that had been honed through countless trials were not something Bai Ge could easily exploit.

Historically, Bai Ge, after the death of the King of Qin, took the opportunity of defeating the Tianyou Army to refine his war philosophy from this iron army, gradually becoming the nightmare of the human race and the world's number one commander.

But Chu Wujiang didn't give him that chance.

time is limited.

Bai Ge clenched his fists and said with relief:
"Rest assured, Mr. Zhen, we are ready."

"Blood sacrifice, proceed immediately."

Mr. Zhen replied:

"very good."

"I have good news for you. As long as enough people are sacrificed, the gifts from the Dayong Dynasty will arrive soon."

"We need enough blood."

The war entered its most brutal phase at this moment.

Both sides resorted to any means necessary to achieve victory.

The number of people participating in the blood sacrifice is rapidly increasing.

100,000 people, 1 million people, 10 million people...

Countless demons lost their lives due to Bai Ge's prior arrangements and the Heavenly Punishment Axe.

The elderly, the disabled, men and women who have lost their fertility, etc.

Bai Ge did exactly what the White Deer Temple used to extract lives from.

Perhaps this is the justice of nature.

The sacrificed Canglang people erupted in a tremendous emotional outburst at this moment.

Some of them harbored resentment—

"Bai Ge, do we follow you only to become sacrifices?"

"Bai Ge, what kind of wolf lord do you think you are? You beast!"

"The Eternal Heaven will curse you."

Some of them volunteered—

"Your Majesty, please lead us to victory."

"We must defeat the human race."

"Slay all humans! Long live the Emperor!"

Some of them pleaded—

"Your Majesty, the Wolf Lord, you won't miss me. Please spare me."

"We don't want to die!!"

Some of them proposed a deal—

"Your Majesty, if you intend to take our lives, you must swear an oath."

"For every demon soldier who dies, ten or a hundred human soldiers must be sacrificed to appease our souls."

"We will await His Majesty's offering of blood and food in the Kingdom of God!"

Countless wails and curses could not shake Bai Ge's resolve; only tears streamed from the corners of his eyes.

He had already shed countless tears and blood while he was with the Jin Ge tribe. But this time, he cried.

Eighty million children of the Azure Wolf.

This is the maximum price it has calculated to pay in order to defeat the human race.

As for why the blood sacrifice was completed so smoothly, it was all predetermined from the moment the shamans accepted Baige's will and offered up the new idol.

Bai Ge has mastered the secrets of the Death Realm, and can easily carry out executions for his followers.

Since you have made a faith in the gods, you will become a sacrifice to them.

The demon race did not stop their advance.

The Demon Saint, who controlled the Blood Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and had access to the core of the demon race, didn't share Bai Ge's sadness. Instead, he coldly stated:

"People of the demon race, do not be bewitched by Chu Wujiang."

"The Demon Emperor's decree has arrived; you must offer your lives."

The Demon Saint would certainly not voluntarily perform a blood sacrifice, thus incurring the resentment of his clan. Bai Ge was already nearing the end of his life, and by using the blood sacrifice method, he would surely never be able to be reborn.

Bai Ge will bear the heavy burden of death, and will not even have the chance to be reborn after death.

The Demon Saint wants to win, but he's not as crazy as it is.

It directly borrows the name of the Demon Emperor and lets the Demon Emperor take the blame for it.

"Do not!!!"

Most of the monsters, whether they were from the Ice Toad Clan, Black Bear Clan, or Lion Clan, except for the Snake Clan, suffered mass casualties indiscriminately.

The Demon Saint still takes care of the snake clan; unlike Bai Ge, it doesn't explicitly use sacrifices for the clan based on whether they are useful or useless.

Instead, they are divided into different ethnic groups and classes.

The weaker groups, such as ice toads, black bears, lions, and spiders, were sacrificed on a large scale, while the snakes, their core group, were spared.

Such a large-scale harvest unexpectedly resulted in the sacrificed races being temporarily unable to notify the legion.

The Demon Saint was able to cut off all communication and continue the war to the very end.

Sixty million demons were sacrificed.

Chu Wujiang later said the following when commenting on the gains and losses of the war:

"Even if the demon race or the monster race surrenders, I can't kill that many."

"This is the most terrifying aspect of the blood sacrifice civilization."

"We must wage a cultural war to completely eradicate the cultural soil of blood sacrifice."

Aside from the demon race and the monster race performing blood sacrifices, Mr. Zhen and his group have indeed gone all out this time.

The Dayong Dynasty lost ten million people without firing a single shot.

Officials and priests from all over the country summoned the people, who poured into the Temple of the Human Emperor in an endless stream to become sacrifices.

The entire Dayong Dynasty was suddenly gripped by fear and unease.

The people of the Dayong Dynasty exclaimed in terror:
"My lord, wasn't this sacrificial ceremony just held last month?"

"Why, why does it have to start again today?"

The people of the Dayong Dynasty had become accustomed to sacrifices and offerings.

The Temple of the Human Emperor always educates its people in this way.

The outside world is more dangerous. Other human territories do not have blood sacrifices, but population growth will bring enormous pressure and eventually lead to civil war.

In every civil war, the human race suffers a population loss of 50% or even more.

Rather than suffer such a tragic end, it's better to regularly sacrifice people for blood sacrifice.

This was obviously fallacy, but over the long years, it was gradually accepted by the people of the Dayong Dynasty.

They have become accustomed to this peaceful life, with each generation contributing a certain number of people.

But after being domesticated for so long, they were shocked to find that when their masters wanted to slaughter all the livestock, they didn't even dare to resist.

The officials of the Dayong Dynasty coldly stated:
"This is an order!"

"Do you dare to defy His Majesty the Emperor?"

The people of the Dayong Dynasty shook their heads repeatedly, saying:
"No, we dare not."

The officials smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Don't worry, this is His Majesty the Emperor summoning you to the Land of Bliss in advance."

The officials and priests treated the people of the Dayong Dynasty coldly, because Master Zhen had promised that there were too few nobles to warrant a blood sacrifice.

Faced with these ruthless ruling machines, the people of the Dayong Dynasty had been submissive subjects for so long that they did not put up much resistance.

There was sporadic, weak resistance.

But they were not enough to shake the political machine of the Dayong Dynasty, so they were sent to the altar.

The blood sacrifices of the three families were carried out simultaneously, each in a different way.

Bai Ge performed blood sacrifices based on whether they were useful or not.

The demon saints divided kinship according to race and performed blood sacrifices.

The Dayong Dynasty employed the most politically astute method, conducting blood sacrifices according to social hierarchy.

They used three different modes and three different styles to carry out this unprecedented bloody massacre.

More than 100 million lives were wiped out.

The sky over the grassland turned a deep crimson.

The thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the entire grassland, making people feel nauseous and want to vomit.

The number of creatures on the grasslands has suffered severe losses.

Even if the demon alliance wins this battle, it will be difficult to wage a sustained war against humanity as in the original history.

However, there was no joy on Chu Wujiang's face.

His Heavenly Decree was about to crush the demon army, and he planned to force out the demon alliance's trump card and defeat the opponent bit by bit.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ge, realizing his tactics had failed, quickly used Blood Sacrifice to enhance his individual combat abilities.

Boom!

The demon soldiers on the 800-kilometer front seemed to have taken a super tonic, and each of them rapidly improved their individual combat capabilities.

They went from being weaker than the elite human forces to being equal to, and even surpassing, the human forces.

The same was true for the demon race. They were originally going to be immersed in the orders of the Heavenly Decree, but under the endless blood and flesh of their race, they quickly broke free from their confusion and became determined.

The exchange ratio on the battlefield changed rapidly.

原本人族的精锐战兵，能够1个换5个魔族，现在一下子变成了1换1，乃至2换1。

The demon soldiers didn't know the origin of this flesh and blood; they only knew that they had become very strong, extremely strong.

"The time for a counterattack has come!"

"Demons, let the humans witness our abilities."

"kill!"

Lamar, the master of frontline charges, led the undead legion of the demon race back into battle, launching an assault on the weakest line of human defense.

Soon, Sima Xuan, the person in charge of this defensive line, showed a look of horror.

"how is this possible?"

"The demons have suddenly become so strong?"

He lay limp on the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.

After Chu Wujiang ascended to the Holy Emperor Formation, he gave Sima Xuan a way out: to participate in the Northern Expedition. Whether he lived or died, this grudge would be forgotten.

However, Sima Xuan was cunning by nature.

Even though he came to participate in the Northern Expedition, he never intended to do his job properly.

"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature." Sima Xuan only wanted to lead the Sima family's soldiers to survive as much as possible in this great battle.

The Sima family mobilized a total of 10,000 soldiers, representing the entire family's resources.

Sima Xuan was appointed as a commander of ten thousand households, leading the Sima family's elite troops.

Because he did not want the Sima family's troops to suffer too many losses, his battle lines were the most sluggish and his advance was the slowest.

The King of Qin had no choice but to reprimand and even punish them.

Sima Xuan feigned several charges, pleading repeatedly:
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling, but the demons are simply too ferocious."

"Your servants shall charge immediately!"

Sima Xuan had been pretending for so long in order to wear down his opponents little by little and defeat them with minimal losses, which resulted in his front performing the worst.

Because of their worst performance, Lamar believed that this was the weakness of the human front and immediately led his elite troops to attack the defenses.

Sima Xuan was caught off guard and was killed by Lama, who traded his life for his wounds.

How did the enemy become so strong?
Sima Xuan schemed his whole life, but he died without ever being a hero. He fell with deep resentment.

Those at the Yuan Shen level will die like wild dogs in this great battle.

"Ancestor!"

The Sima family's soldiers roared in grief and indignation, attempting to seize Sima Xuan's body, but were met with a cold order from Lama:

"Kill them all!"

"Yes, General Rama!"

Sima Xuan's defensive line suffered repeated defeats, and his own petty schemes led to serious consequences.

The most outstanding elites of the Sima family, such as Sima Jiong, Sima Yi, Sima Ying, Sima Yong, Sima Yue, Sima Lun, and Sima Wei, were all killed.

These prodigies and geniuses of the Sima family could have usurped high positions in the original history.

Some people were even able to become kings, becoming regional lords, just like the emperors who bestowed titles upon kings.

But now fate has changed dramatically.

Except for Sima Liang, who defected to Chu Wujiang beforehand, they were all dead.

Such a death doesn't even qualify one as a martyr.

The Sima family could not escape the dictates of fate.

Chu Wujiang's arrangement at least ensured that they died cleanly, leaving a legacy for future generations.

With their deaths, the Sima family no longer needed to bear such a heavy burden.

Upon learning of this later, Chu Wujiang commented:

"Too clever by half, and you'll end up losing your life."

"Although the Sima family did not die heroically, it can be said that their debts were settled with their deaths."

"I forgive you."

The tragic end of the Sima family served as a cautionary tale for later generations of aristocratic families.

Regardless of Chu Wujiang's evaluation of Sima Xuan, his death did create a breach, allowing demon soldiers to pour in continuously, attempting to expand their gains.

The demons sounded the horn of counterattack.

The balance of power shifted after Sima Xuan's death. The King of Qin began to reduce his offensive, allowing the human army to stabilize its position and quickly sending reinforcements.

Wang Ren charged forward with his sword drawn, shouting loudly:

"Young masters of the Wang family, come with me!"

"Plug this gap!"

The Sima family and the Wang family had a good relationship and a deep friendship. Even though the Sima family had fallen into this predicament, the Wang family did not take advantage of their misfortune.

During this great battle, Sima Xuan also requested the King of Qin to allow him to fight alongside the royal family.

Perhaps Sima Xuan made the right decision in this one thing in his life.

The elite servants of the Wang family were extraordinary. When Wang Ren led his men over, they successfully intercepted Lama. Upon seeing Wang Ren, Lama's eyes immediately turned red.

"Wang Ren!"

Adai is the royal court's most outstanding archer. Its ability to track targets from afar allows it to continuously eliminate the elite of the human race.

The last time Bai Ge sent Lama to Adai's side, his intention was to have Lama act as a meat shield.

Its unwavering courage allows it to give its life for its teammates.

Logically speaking, A'dai shouldn't have died from Wang Ren's sword.

Normally, they can be revived.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ren possessed the "Eye of Investigation," which allowed him to see through the secrets of "A-Dai," and with that single sword strike, he took two lives.

Even with such preparations, it was impossible to save Ah Dai's life.

In this brutal battlefield, no matter how outstanding your talent, you won't survive to the end.

Now that enemies have met, their eyes are filled with intense hatred.

If Rama had lent Adai another life, he wouldn't have died, which made Rama hate Wang Ren even more.

kill!

Without hesitation, Wang Ren drew his sword to meet the attack.

The battle between the two sides has entered a fierce stage.

After observing the changes in the entire battle situation, the King of Qin immediately said:
"Your Majesty, we need to use the General's Order."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"General Huo!"

Huo Qiushui immediately agreed:

"The minister is here."
