The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Lin Tao's body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Afterwards, he was rushed up by a large group of angry soldiers and chopped into mincemeat.

"From this day forward, I will rebuild the glory of the Zhenbei Army!"

Qin Changye raised his blood-stained ink sword high, his gaze sweeping over the 100,000-strong Northern Army before him: "From now on, I will provide your pay and provisions! I will supply your armor and weapons! I will lead you to avenge your defeats and humiliations tenfold, a hundredfold!"

"From now on, you will be the second generation of the Zhenbei Army!"

"Please remember, my father is gone, and the first generation of 300,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers is gone, but the Great Zhou Dynasty still exists, the northern border still exists, and your second generation of Zhenbei Army soldiers still exists!"

Qin Changye's words were like rolling thunder, crashing into the deepest part of everyone's eardrums and their souls.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty still exists!"

"The North is still here!"

"We're still here!"

The 100,000-strong army of the Northern Frontier, or rather, the second generation of the Zhenbei Army that was truly born at this moment, shouted in unison.

Its sound was like thunder, earth-shattering.

woo woo woo...

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded from the direction of the barbarian kingdom.

The soldiers were greatly alarmed.

At this moment, a messenger rushed over, faced Qin Changye, and shouted urgently, "General, something terrible has happened! The barbarian Iron Family Army is pressing in, a massive, dark mass of people. It seems they've mobilized their entire force to launch a decisive battle against us!"

These words instantly changed the expression of the Zhenbei Army, who had been full of enthusiasm.

The disparity in troop strength between the two sides was simply too great.

Ren Pingsheng and the others brought by Qin Changye, as well as a group of scions of aristocratic families, all had serious expressions.

They originally planned to develop their forces for a while, and once the Northern Army was strong enough, they would then fight a decisive battle against the Iron Family Army of the Barbarian Kingdom.

In hindsight, they were overthinking it.

The Iron Army of the Barbarian Kingdom gave them no chance to develop.

Only Qin Changye remained calm, even displaying undisguised anticipation: "How many men are in the Iron Family Army of the Barbarian Kingdom?"

The messenger returned: "At least 300,000!"

Qin Changye then asked, "How many people are in our second-generation Zhenbei Army?"

The messenger returned again: "Less than 100,000."

"With 100,000 against 300,000, the advantage is ours!"

Qin Changye drew his sword and raised it high: "All troops, form ranks and prepare for battle!"

The border between the barbarian kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

To be precise, after Qin Wuyai and his 300,000-strong Zhenbei Army were wiped out in the Battle of Black Stone Valley a year ago, the northern border retreated 100 miles toward the Great Zhou.

And this border line at this moment is the new border line after retreating 100 miles.

At first glance, the 300,000-strong Tie family army was arrayed across the wasteland, their dark battle flags blotting out the sky, and the sound of war drums like rolling thunder, never ceasing.

Tie Shanyue sat on a warhorse covered in iron armor, with Tie Moxian, Zhou Tianci and the old servant with the insole face beside him.

After experiencing that "flying through the sky" incident, Tie Moxiang, who was covered in excrement, naturally joined the Avengers.

She, who has never liked swordplay or battlefield combat, insisted on coming along, contrary to her usual behavior, just to witness firsthand how Qin Changye, the mastermind behind the "flying sky" incident, met a tragic end on the battlefield.

Behind them, 300,000 troops were arranged in dozens of square formations, with swords and spears like a forest, their killing intent soaring to the sky.

A dozen or so war elephants stood in front of the formation. The fourth-level war elephant at the very front was ten zhang tall. With a flick of its trunk, it shattered a millstone-sized rock on the ground.

On the other hand, the Northern Army's 100,000 remnants barely managed to form a battle formation, with their armor of varying ages and their weapons of inconsistent quality.

Ren Pingsheng, Ta Ye, Li Yourong, Xiu'er, and an old deputy general of the Zhenbei Army stood beside Qin Changye, their faces very solemn.

The Iron Family Army not only has a larger number of ordinary soldiers, but also a larger number of peak experts with cultivation levels of the fifth level of the King Martial Realm or above, at least twenty in total.

Looking at our side, there are only four people at most.

The aura of Tie Shanyue and the old slave with the shoe pad face was even more unfathomable; each of them was worth at least 20,000 elite soldiers.

In addition, the opponent also had more than a dozen war elephants, and the overall gap in strength between the two sides was so great that it was despairing.

There is absolutely no chance of winning this battle!

Qin Changye, however, was not flustered when he saw that the other side had more peak experts above the fifth level of the King Martial Realm. Instead, he was very excited.

In Qin Changye's eyes, these top experts were nothing more than powerful immortal puppets.

Of course, the more the better.

As for those war elephants and savage beasts, Qin Changye was even less worried.

Their most powerful ones are only level four; the rest are level three and level two.

Qin Changye couldn't help but glance at the silver sculpture in the shape of a sparrow on his shoulder.

It is a level five savage beast, possessing the bloodline of a king, and even exhibiting mutated attributes.

Killing these tamed war elephants was as easy as killing chickens and dogs.

However, Qin Changye still used animal language to instruct the silver eagle: "When the battle really starts, you can injure or cripple those war elephants, but you must not kill them directly. Save the chance to deliver the final blow for me."

Qin Changye had made up his mind. Before killing them, he would extract a drop of the freshest essence blood from their bodies and carefully store it for Xiuer to use in the future to upgrade her Nine Tribulations Overlord Body.

Xiuer has awakened the Nine Tribulations Overlord Body and has already begun the first tribulation. Considering Xiuer's current cultivation level, it's about time she tried to begin the second tribulation.

There's no time like the present, so let's do it today.

At that time, with the start of the second tribulation, Xiu'er's cultivation and power will experience another leap forward.

On the other side, Tie Shanyue sighed with a gloomy expression: "The reason why I haven't led the Tie family army to directly attack and completely annihilate the remaining 100,000 Northern Border remnants these days is simply because I wanted to use the spies who were secretly contacting us to disintegrate them from within, and then take them down without losing a single soldier."

In fact, the matter almost succeeded. When the Empress of Great Zhou invited us to negotiate, more and more generals in the northern border were already feeling hopeless and had no will to resist. They secretly contacted us, intending to defect to us.

In their view, even the Empress of the Great Zhou had given up resistance, so there was no point in them resisting.

This is precisely why I agreed to negotiate with the Empress of Great Zhou. In reality, the negotiations were a pretense; the true purpose was to completely dismantle this army of 100,000, then take over the entire northern border without losing a single soldier, and ultimately annex the entire Great Zhou.

Tie Shanyue's calculations were undeniably brilliant; he aimed to achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties.

However, he then changed his tone, his face growing increasingly grim: "Unfortunately, Qin Changye appeared out of nowhere, ruining my carefully planned negotiations. He even came to the Northern Border, unearthing the Northern Border general I had painstakingly won over, and even launched a surprise attack on my barbarian army camp overnight, inflicting huge casualties and losses on my Iron Family Army. In all these years of dominating the Northern Border, when has my Iron Family Army ever suffered such humiliation?"

Therefore, today he led 300,000 Tie family soldiers out in full force to get revenge and completely annihilate Qin Changye and the Northern Border army.

Swish!

As he slowly drew his military knife, he could faintly hear the cries of his two daughters—their unwillingness before being killed by Qin Changye, their wails for revenge that drove their father to seek vengeance…

He cast his gaze across the long border, fixing it fixed on Qin Changye: "Qin Changye, if I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not a human being!"

Swish!

Qin Changye slowly drew his ink-black sword, and in the process, he vaguely saw his father covered in blood, and the 300,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers lying dead on the ground...

His gaze also crossed the long border, looking back at the murderous Tie Shanyue: "What a coincidence! If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not a human being!"
