Chapter 512 The Way Forward

There are more than 10 million border troops, even though many of them are new recruits who have just joined the army for a few months.

But in a big battle, individual combat capability is not very important.

Numbers, weapons, and will are the most important.

The unified will of more than ten million people is a force that can shake heaven and earth.

Even a Dao Wu realm cultivator would have to retreat in the face of such power.

Although there are masters in ordinary dynasties, they are not numerous.

Dagan’s strength is not just in the near distance.

Looking at the entire world in the pit, it is one of the best and the most advanced.

In addition, the border troops have suddenly expanded by nearly half, and all weapons have been replaced with the best quality ones.

The power of the battle formation increased nearly tenfold, so those dynasties were naturally like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and were not worth mentioning.

After being crushed to death and clearing a path, the armies of all dynasties tacitly chose to retreat.

They didn't know why the border troops were rushing so fast.

I just know that if I try to stop it by force, I'll be seeking death.

Instead of this, it is better to make way.

If the border troops of Dagan gave them a good opportunity, these dynasties would spare no effort in launching a crazy attack to cut off all of Dagan's retreat routes.

It can be said that Emperor Shun’s decree this time was somewhat risky.

If they really encounter danger, it is very likely that the Dagan foundation that has been built for hundreds of years will be destroyed.

Many civil officials submitted memorials to express their opposition, but Emperor Shun ignored them.

As for the border troops, they knew what their mission was and what it meant if the mission was completed.

So no one objected, and more than a dozen generals personally took the lead and charged forward.

Only one million people were left inside the territory of Dagan, led by Marshal Yu.

In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, even the attack on Xujian Road was temporarily stopped.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that Jiang Lin mentioned this matter in his letter.

Jiang Lin told Emperor Shun that he hoped the emperor would stop attacking Xujian Road.

Jiang Lin didn't say what the reason was.

But Emperor Shun chose to believe without hesitation that the border troops had been attacking outside the mountain gate of Xujian Road for a long time.

Now there are only three mountain masters left in Xujian Dao, but these three have all been promoted to Daowu realm and have condensed half of their Dao bones.

Although their numbers are small, their individual combat power is so strong that even hundreds of thousands of border troops cannot match them.

Unless millions of border troops really come together and launch a concentrated attack, it would be almost impossible to capture the city.

But the problem is, even if one of them can be killed, the remaining two will be stronger.

By then, even a million border troops might not be enough.

Even if we continue to send more troops, what if there is only one person left?

What if all the mountain masters are dead and only the Taoist master of Xujian Dao is left?

How strong will that person be?

According to Marshal Yu's estimation of the power increase of these mountain masters, if there is only one mountain master left, he will at least reach the level of condensing the Taoist bones throughout his body.

A master of this level is equivalent to the Seventh Ancestor of the Xiyi people who drained the luck of the entire Xiyi tribe four hundred years ago with the intention of competing with the sky.

He is one of the most powerful masters in the world, and in this era, he is the representative of invincibility.

And if all the mountain masters were killed, the already very powerful Taoist master of Xujian Dao would probably break through the Dao Bone Realm directly and reach a higher level.

When all the Taoist bones in the body are condensed, what remains are skin, flesh, tendons and blood.

In the history of Da Gan, there has never been such a master, and no one has even heard of him.

It is said that even in Taoism thousands of years ago, there were no such powerful people.

Only the legendary Taoist ancestor may be able to compete with him.

Therefore, Marshal Yu is under great pressure. What should he do if the court really creates an opponent that it cannot afford to offend?

The border troops are naturally not afraid of death, but the problem is that as the commander-in-chief, he cannot simply consider whether to kill or not.

Especially since Marshal Yu is one of the few generals known for his strategies, he thinks more.

He has never been in favor of attacking Xujian Dao with all his strength. No matter what this Taoist sect wants to do, just leave it alone for now.

We should wait until the border troops are strong enough, instead of fighting them now.

As for the giant skeleton in the mountain behind Xujian Road, you don't have to fight to get it.

In other words, you may not be able to get it even if you fight.

Now that Emperor Shun has issued an order to temporarily stop the attack, Marshal Yu is somewhat relieved.

He immediately ordered the entire army to rest and did not launch another forced attack.

Inside the mountain gate of Xujiandao, the three mountain masters stood there without any movement.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Jiandao was in a very passive defensive position.

Even if he was killed, there was no special behavior.

Such calmness, as if they knew they were going to die, or as if they didn't care about life or death at all.

The border troops did not care about life or death, but they developed extreme emotions only when they were in life-threatening situations.

Their fearlessness of death is based on madness, which is completely different from Xu Jiandao's calmness.

Therefore, Xu Jiandao's behavior made people feel even more uneasy.

But this was not a major issue. Millions of border troops cleared the way with great force and arrived at the designated location smoothly.

When they appeared there, they saw only a "coffin" as big as a mountain being carried over.

"It's Duke Jiang!" someone shouted.

"That's what His Majesty asked us to pick up? How did he do it alone?"

"Duke Jiang's power is simply unimaginable. Since the founding of the country, there has never been such a powerful person. Even the blacksmith master back then was probably far inferior to him."

In many people's minds, Jiang Lin has already surpassed the ancestor of blacksmiths.

After all, the greatest skill of the blacksmith ancestor is to create magical weapons, and this is also what he is most well-known for.

But Jiang Lin’s ability is not limited to creating magical weapons.

The founder of blacksmiths lived four hundred years ago. How old is Jiang Lin?

He is younger but stronger, so naturally he has greater potential for the future.

Many people have heard that the daughter of Qingzhou Li family is determined to marry Jiang Lin.

At first, some people thought that the powerful clans wanted to arrange marriages to ease relations with the imperial court.

But now, they think that the Qingzhou Li family has a good vision.

He could see at a glance that Duke Jiang had great potential. The so-called marriage was probably not important. What was really important was to bring this kid, who was stronger than the ancestor of blacksmiths, into his own camp.

Not to mention the powerful clans, even the marshals and generals were itching to do it.

I think about my sister and niece every day. I wonder if I can have a chance to meet Jiang Lin. What if they fall in love?

Jiang Lin walked out of the space crack holding the giant's skeleton in his hand.

I saw the border troops, exhausted and dusty, having traveled tens of thousands of miles.

The countless sea of ​​people made Jiang Lin feel a little emotional.

When I first entered the blacksmith camp, the number of border troops was not small, but not as many as it is now.

Especially the weapons. The border troops at that time only had standard ordinary weapons.

But now, everyone has first-grade weapons, which are ridiculously powerful.

If Da Gan had such good things back then, he would have conquered all dynasties within a radius of at least 100,000 miles, or even 200,000 miles.

But it doesn’t matter, there’s still plenty of time.

After talking with his future self, Jiang Lin was very sure that in the short term, no giant divine body would accidentally enter this pit.

There is still plenty of time left for big work and for yourself.

However, the future of these border troops is not very good.

In the known future, the number of border troops will continue to expand, reaching a level of over 100 million.

That is an unimaginable number. With hundreds of millions of border troops, the battle formation alone cannot be underestimated.

And the shocking formation they formed can really control the giant divine body.

The only surprising thing is that there are many other potholes that can be compared with it.

Although the giant body controlled by Da Gan is strong enough, it is not the strongest. It can only be said that it has the ability to barely protect itself.

After all, many of the giant bodies in the pits have been fighting for many years, and those dynasties control more than one.

One-on-one is fine, but what about one-on-two? Or one-on-three?

The world outside is big and the enemies are strong.

But again, these are just the most basic enemies. If measured over millions of years, they are not worth mentioning at all.

A truly powerful opponent can destroy a giant's body with just one finger.

Jiang Lin did not put down the giant skeleton. After all, it was too heavy.

The individual combat effectiveness of the border troops is not strong. If these people are asked to carry the giant skeleton on the road, I am afraid that tens of millions of people will barely be enough.

It would be better to let them continue to maintain the battle formation, so that they can play a greater role in defending against the enemy.

The border army commanders also understood this and without saying much, they immediately turned their entire army around.

Ling Shuai was in the formation, looking at Jiang Lin holding the giant's skeleton from afar, his face full of emotion.

When he went to the Blacksmith Camp to meet Jiang Lin, the other party was just a "little man" who had some skills but was not someone he could look up to.

It hasn't been long since he's grown to the point where it's difficult for me to even look up to him.

Among the huge crowd, there was a young general looking in the direction of Jiang Lin, his face full of enthusiasm and excitement.

He was none other than Miao Yonghuai, who was taken by Ling Shuai to learn spearmanship. After some training, this boy has grown very tall.

Although he is young, he has already made many military achievements.

His cultivation level of the fourth level of Yuanwu Realm was even higher than that of Sheng Yingchun and Song Ziyan.

Ling Shuai is very caring towards Miao Yonghuai and regards him as his last disciple, even better than his own son.

As long as it is useful to Miao Yonghuai, he will give it to him.

He taught all he knew about the essence of spearmanship that he had acquired through a lifetime of practice.

However, he was also very strict with Miao Yonghuai. After teaching him the art of spearmanship, he directly threw him into the border army to participate in actual combat.

In Ling Shuai's words, it is better to fight for your life on the battlefield than to wield a gun for a lifetime.

If a gun cannot draw blood, it is useless.

Miao Yonghuai is a man of impetuous character, has a natural love for the battlefield, and has strong adaptability.

Initially regarded as a relative of General Ling, he soon made a name for himself in several battles and now became the youngest captain in the Dagan Border Army.

The official position was not very high, only the sixth rank.

But at his age, few people can do such a big thing.

But he was only a sixth-rank official, and no one said anything about it. Instead, people admired him even more.

Miao Yonghuai missed Jiang Lin very much after not seeing him for several years.

No matter how good Ling Shuai is to him, he is not a real master.

Although Jiang Lin taught him little, he always kept it in mind.

However, one could not enter or exit the battle formation at will, and Miao Yonghuai did not go to meet him immediately.

If you want to meet, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

What's more, he felt that he was not doing well enough. He wondered when he could become a lieutenant general or even a general, maybe he would have the face to meet his master.

A mere thousand-man commander, not worth mentioning.

The master is a Duke, a great blacksmith, no, the most powerful blacksmith in the world.

Even the Emperor values ​​him very much. As he is his disciple, how can I lose face?

Jiang Lin's powerful perception ability also made it easy for him to detect Miao Yonghuai's gaze.

Looking up, Jiang Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw the boy's changes.

Miao Yonghuai is also a very famous person in the future, and is known as the Blood Dancing Gun God.

He was filled with murderous aura, very heavy.

Later he was promoted to commander-in-chief of the frontier army and had a high prestige.

The youngest, yet the strongest.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the Shocking God Formation rendered his personal combat power useless, so that he gradually became silent afterwards.

Although there were a few times in the future, Jiang Lin rescued him and did not participate in the Shocking God Formation.

But after future comparison, this approach is not the best option.

Although the Shocking Spirit Formation will assimilate one's personal will, if one can persist in it and keep one's personal will from being dissolved, the benefits will still be great.

Strictly speaking, this is equivalent to raising Gu.

Whoever survives to the end and has a clear consciousness will become one of the strongest.

The Giant God Body is not the future of Da Gan. One day, these people will leave the Giant God Body and sprint to a higher level.

Therefore, Jiang Lin did not intend to interfere with Miao Yonghuai's future.

Let him go into the Jingshen Formation to train, and it won’t be too late to release him when the right opportunity comes.

Anyway, with his own protection, Miao Yonghuai would not encounter any serious danger.

In other words, there will be situations where you are in danger of death, but you will never actually die.

Among the crowd, Jiang Lin saw some familiar faces.

Although this time the absence was not too long, it was only for others.

For Jiang Lin personally, he has been gone for many years.

Every time I come out of [A Picturesque World], it feels like a lifetime ago.

His future self once said before leaving that he hoped Jiang Lin could cherish the people around him more on his behalf.

Jiang Lin scanned the faces of these familiar people one by one. Even though he felt infinite emotion in his heart and knew clearly the ending of each person, he did not say much.

He knows exactly what is the most important thing and what is the most correct choice.

Afterwards, the huge and boundless border army began its return journey.

When people from other dynasties saw the huge coffin as big as a mountain and Jiang Lin walking forward with the coffin in his hands, they understood what Da Gan was going to do.

These dynasties had also heard of the giant skeletons.

However, they did not suffer the disaster brought by the giant skeletons, so they did not care much about it. Instead, they were glad that their dynasty was not within that range.

But now, seeing the huge coffin in Jiang Lin's hand, these people suddenly felt uneasy.

They didn't know what was in the coffin, but it must be very complicated to have such a huge thing and send millions of border troops to escort it.

If the border troops really transport it back, will I still have hope?

I couldn't win in the first place, and I'm afraid I won't have any chance in the future.

These dynasties made up their minds and after a brief discussion, they immediately blocked the way.
