"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The sun had not yet set at this time, and the setting sun shone on the Yan soldiers who were surrounding the enemy. Their shadows were stretched out very long, making them look extremely majestic.

"Drop your weapons!"

The shouting from the periphery was more orderly and powerful. The surrounded Lingyun soldiers had already been frightened out of their wits and were still in chaos.

Under the shouting of the Yan State soldiers, these confused soldiers gradually calmed down, put down their weapons and squatted on the ground.

"Go and tidy it up!"

Duan Tianming arranged.

At this time, the huge flower bush had been dyed red with blood, and the smell of blood drifted to Duan Tianming on the breeze. Some soldiers could not bear the scene and squatted on the ground to vomit. They had lost all their original spirit.

Now, there are no birds singing or flowers blooming there, but only blood flowing down the lowlands into the streams.

The blood will soon be diluted, along with any traces of the dead warriors.

"Report, the number of people involved in this battle was approximately 5,000, with 5,000 casualties and 10,000 surrenders."

The next day, after counting the number of people, Luo Wu reported to Duan Tianming.

"Okay, send a group of people back with the prisoners. We will conquer Yangcheng first."

After Duan Tianming finished making the arrangements, he continued to march with his army. At this time, the news certainly had not spread yet. The war situation was very urgent. The surrounding countries could besiege at any time, so they had to seize the time to expand the results of the war.

These soldiers were a huge harvest, and right before his eyes was a city-state with a population of over 20,000, something Duan Tianming had been coveting for a long time.

The army continued to attack, and after winning a great victory, its power became even more astonishing.

Nearly half of the army was assigned to guard the prisoners and control the defense of Shangyangcheng, and the remaining army, led by Duan Tianming, approached Yangcheng.

This time, due to the powerful impact of the Xianzhen Camp and Duan Tian's care for the new recruits, the casualties were within 500 people, which was considered a resounding victory.

The morale of the victorious Yan army was high, and they were very energetic after a night's rest. The supplies coming from Shangyang City in the rear were very rich. Since the two cities were relatively close and the supply line was not too long, the overall risk was not great.

The Great Elder finally escaped back to Yangcheng. No one else followed him. This battle completely scared him, and now he needed to calm down.

"Great Elder, what's the situation?"

At this time, the king of Yangcheng had not received the news yet, and the escaped soldiers who had managed to escape from the war had not yet returned to Yangcheng.

"Don't worry about it. You strengthen the defense. I'm going back to the sect first."

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he left Yangcheng directly. He had to pass the news back quickly. Their main force was completely annihilated in this war, and even the disciples of the sect could not escape. It was a serious blow to their vitality. In this situation, how could they care about the life and death of Yangcheng?

“Elder!”

“Elder!”

The King of Yangcheng was a little frightened. Now that the Great Elder had left without saying a word, what should they do in Yangcheng?

"What the hell is going on?"

He sat alone on the throne, staring blankly at the rising sun outside the door.

This may be the tragedy of a small country.

······

Zhao Yuqing and his men have already penetrated deep into the city with their troops. The eerie atmosphere in the urban area has gradually infected everyone. Before attacking the city, they arranged the deployment of the troops and conducted some exploration of the city.

The entire city is relatively large, with mostly low-rise buildings. A river runs through the center of the city. The water in this river looks terrifyingly pure, which is out of place with this city shrouded in dark clouds.

There is a big river outside the city. The 500 giant shark knights brought by Xia Liuli this time were arranged there, and there are also 300 mermaid mages. This is considered to be a very powerful water combat force at present.

Of course, the main force is still the 800 giant lizard knights walking by the river at this time. Although they look incompatible with the mermaids on their backs, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

It is certain that productivity is very important to gods, but for those gods with racial heritage, the role of productivity is more reflected in the unlocking of racial technology.

This year's productivity has indeed been settled, but Zhao Yuqing cannot spend the productivity on unlocking racial inheritance like Xia Liuli and the others. She can only keep it for now and prepare to purchase more things after the promotion.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can save more productivity, consume in more aspects, and promote technological progress. However, the disadvantage is that there is no promotion path for racial technology.

What this reflects in reality is that Zhao Yuqing's two divine kingdoms have already entered the feudal era, which can basically be judged as the second-level material and technological level in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Yan Kingdom has even prepared population raw materials and various technological accumulations for the industrial revolution.

But in today's kingdoms of gods with ethnic heritage, most of them have a population of less than 10,000 and are preparing to transition to the agricultural age. This is not about who is more advanced than who. In terms of combat effectiveness, there is still a certain gap between them and those geniuses. It just means that the direction of development is different.

For gods with racial heritage to develop their kingdom, everything revolves around one line, especially for spiritual races. This is even more obvious. It mainly explains what racial heritage is used for. Generally speaking, less than two years of development have passed. It is definitely too fast to allow the followers of these gods to transform from a tribe of a few hundred people into a country in the agricultural age.

More importantly, their development is more inclined towards the logic of spiritual technology advancement, which is to cultivate more individual strongmen, cultivate spiritual units, use locks to research spiritual technology, and popularize the unlocked spiritual technology to society, thereby promoting social development.

These racial technologies, which are mainly based on spiritual technology, are mostly concentrated in skills, military types, spiritual products, etc., and do not contribute much to basic social development.

These are two different forms of social development, and the main difference lies in the direction of development.

"Let's go deeper along the river. It will be more convenient to establish our base along the river."

Xia Liuli suggested.

Before participating in the war, it is necessary to prepare supplies for war. These supplies need to be organized and prepared by the militia. Although the city is not big, who knows what is inside. It is necessary to establish supply lines and arrange strongholds in order to advance slowly.

Before we came, Teacher Chang told me a story about a student who saw that the goblin dungeon was relatively weak, so he rushed in with his army without arranging proper logistical supplies. In the end, they were besieged due to shortage of supplies, and only one in ten of their followers survived. It was difficult for them to fight their way out.
