Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 91 Preparations for War

First, the Law Enforcement Hall set an example.

Guo Tu summoned the monks of Xihua Sect and seized the territory closest to the Hezong.

This place is called Zhongjinzhou. The entire area is inside the restricted area and is only connected by narrow passages.

Those who have made contributions must be rewarded. Dou Eqing immediately took out a baby-forming pill to reward their team.

The Infant-Forming Pill is a mission reward, and your military achievements will also be counted in your sect record.

Military achievements are both resume and contribution points to the sect.

In Hezong, contribution points are more useful than spirit stones.

What Dou Eqing didn't know was that the rewarded Infant-forming Pill fell into the hands of a cultivator named Guo Chang.

Guo Chang was not yet a cultivator of the Hezong, but a small leader of the Huhua Sect stationed in the Central Forbidden Continent.

It turned out that Guo Tu and his men took advantage of the situation to capture Zhongjinzhou, which meant they persuaded the enemy to surrender.

Next, they followed this method and successively took over five territories of the Huhua Sect.

The Law Enforcement Hall also knew that their actions would be known to the sect, so they confessed the truth to Dou Eqing.

Therefore, six territories can only reward three Infant Formation Pills.

However, they were also very happy to get three of them. They were simply picked up for free, and at most they just built a relationship.

The second territory was obtained through Guo Chang’s relationship with the other party in persuading them to surrender.

The other two territories were also easily conquered after being persuaded to surrender by monks who surrendered later, and then collusion between internal and external forces was achieved.

The other cultivators in the sect were all tempted when they saw the Law Enforcement Hall easily conquer six territories and obtain three Infant Formation Pills.

The Formation Hall joined forces with the Alchemy Hall and the Weapon Refining Hall to form the Hundred Arts Group, and followed closely to attack and take over a piece of territory.

Then the War Hall went into battle and directly captured the other three territories.

In this way, the military force of Hezong was extended to the gate of Huhua Sect.

It's like the changing of times. The Huhua Sect had fought their way to the gate of the Hezong Mountain, but now the situation has turned around.

Through a competition for rewards, Dou Eqing successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the sect's monks to start a war.

Now that they have quickly reached the gate of the Huhua Sect, it has given everyone great confidence, and many cultivators have begun to petition to attack the Huhua Sect.

Dou Eqing was just trying to stir up everyone's emotions, but Kong Shangke came with a thunder gun made for him.

He was eager to try out the power of the thunder gun in actual combat.

At the same time, the Infinite Merit Pearl in his mind issued a task, limiting it to three months to annex the Huhua Sect.

There are rewards for completing the task, and 50 points of third-level merit will be deducted for failure.

Fifty points of the third level means killing thirty demon cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core, because Dou Eqing has no merit stored at all now.

So he ordered the army to reorganize for five days before attacking the Huhua Sect.

Although it is not a war between mortals, it also follows the same rules: when the army sets out, food and supplies must be sent ahead.

In the great wars between the forces of cultivation, the so-called food and fodder included not only the beast army but also the baggage of the great war.

The cannon fodder used to clear the way between the two forces of the Beast Army.

In the earthly realm, there is a sect-protecting city at the mountain gate, and some traps will be set up in front to prevent the enemy's army from attacking.

This trap is equivalent to a moat and must be filled by a part of cannon fodder.

Therefore, every family in the world keeps an army of beasts, either social monsters or demon beasts.

Hezong now has two short beast armies.

One group uses the mantis monster; the other group uses the fire rat monster.

The place where the Warcraft mantis is raised is in Mantis Ridge on the way to the Flower Protection Sect, in a territory in the restricted area.

Warcraft Mantis is one of the few Warcraft that can enter the restricted area and come back.

The last time the Huhua Sect attacked, the Warcraft Mantis raised by the He Sect hid in the restricted area.

The Fire Rat Demon's former territory on Zedao Island.

The last time the Huhua Sect attacked, the Fire Rats were relocated to Wenxiang Valley.

Most of the monks injured by the falling debris from the mountaintop were killed and devoured by the Fire Rat Demon that emerged from underground. Therefore, the Fire Rat Demon had grown tremendously during the last attack by the Flower Guarding Sect.

This is when they attack the Huhua Sect, and the Fire Rat Demon will serve as cannon fodder.

The baggage for the war was siege chariots and spirit cannon flying ships.

The spirit cannon flying ship can fly, but in some restricted air zones, it has to be towed by siege vehicles.

One of the functions of a siege chariot is to pull flying ships, and the other is to attack cities.

Many of the mountain gates of various forces in the world take advantage of their terrain. There are no-fly zones near the mountain gates, preventing cultivators from flying.

In this way, a protective city will be built in front of the mountain gate.

In order to take advantage of the no-fly zone law, the city walls are hundreds of meters high.

Even if a monk has great physical strength and skills, and can climb a hundred-meter-high wall, there will still be attacks and interference from above.

Obviously it is not easy.

Attacking Huzong City is almost the same as a mortal siege. You can only attack the top of the city or break open the city gate.

Thus, the siege vehicle was created.

The siege vehicle has multiple uses, such as climbing city walls and breaking down city gates. It is carried by a huge monster called the Turtle Beast.

When climbing the city wall, a bridge ladder was set up from the siege vehicle and extended to the city wall, and the monks jumped directly from the bridge ladder to the top of the city wall.

The city gate was broken down by ramming the turtle's head against the gate.

When building the siege vehicle, a city-breaking helmet was specially made for the turtle beast.

A telescopic device was made at the base of the helmet and stuck on the turtle's shell.

The telescopic device is the spring principle of Dou Eqing's previous life.

The reaction force received by the turtle beast when it hits the city gate is absorbed by the telescopic device.

When it hits the city gate for the second time, the force of the turtle and the force of the spring device combine to hit the city gate.

It’s a pity that for every spear invented, a corresponding shield will be invented.

The gate of Huzong City has a very appropriate name, "Thousand Board Gate".

In other words, the gates of Huzong City can be quickly replaced thousands of times.

Whenever the city gate was about to be destroyed by a siege vehicle, the gate would be quickly replaced with a complete one, just like a gate replacement.

If there is sufficient reserve, the city gates can be replaced almost continuously.

When two forces in the territories are at war, generally speaking, as long as the Huzong City is captured, the enemy will surrender.

Otherwise, the entire force will be destroyed and wiped out by the enemy.

Although many forces in the world have been constantly changing their affiliations, the mountain gate has always remained intact.

This time, Hezong is going to attack Canglong City of Huhua Sect.

The Huhua Sect was originally the territory of the Xihua Sect on earth, and the monks of the Hezong sect knew the "moat" in front of Canglong City very well.

However, the traps here are easy to change, and even if you know about them, you still need cannon fodder to step into them.

This "moat" is the army of magic ants traveling between the restricted area and the swamp.

The magic ants seem to have magic powers. If you are not entangled with them, you cannot see them with your eyes or detect them with your spiritual sense.

Only the Ant-Seeking Bead in the hands of the current leader of the Flower Protection Sect can detect and guide the magic ants.

The monks of the Flower Protection Sect can change the path of the demon ant army by using the Ant-Seeking Beads to give them a little guidance.

Any creature that provokes the army of demon ants will be fought to the death.

Although the individual strength of the demon ant army is only at the middle to late stage of Qi Refining, no one knows how many there are.

Therefore, in order to attack Canglong City, we must use monsters to find out the path of the Demon Ant Army.

Dou Eqing personally led the army to the battle, and after marching for a month and a half, they arrived and set up camp five miles away from Canglong City.

Finally, an astronomer inside the sect calculated the auspicious time to attack the city, and the best time was midnight three days later.

So, everything is ready, just waiting for three days to recuperate.
