Volume 1 Chapter 254: I dare not die

As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a moment to deploy it. The dynasty has kept them for so long, it is time to take them out for training. On the one hand, it will increase their practical experience, and on the other hand, it will allow them to see what kind of power the current Huoyun Army has.

"Yes!" Jiang Fei responded and retreated without any hesitation.

He is now like a man without desires or requests. This life is like a great enlightenment. His only thought is to repay Xiang Yun's kindness. Since Xiang Yun gave his parents the life they wanted, saved his eldest brother's life, and arranged a marriage for his eldest brother, then he will risk the rest of his life to do his best to help Xiang Yun reach the top!

Song Yun was completely dumbfounded. What did it mean to send troops to the Black Witch Kingdom? Was the emperor going to go to war with the Black Witch Kingdom?

"Officially organized troops. Jiang Yue just said that there are four million of them!" If these troops were to go to the Black Witch Kingdom, it would be a bloody storm. Thinking about it carefully, Song Yun pleaded with red eyes: "Your Majesty, the Black Witch Kingdom is really willing to surrender as a whole country. Don't start a war anymore!"

"If a war really breaks out, whether it is the Great Sun Dynasty or the Black Witch Kingdom, the innocent people will suffer. Your Majesty is so merciful and compassionate, please think about the people, okay?"

Xiang Yun sneered and said, "Who told you that I want to go to war?"

The expression on Song Yun's face froze, she was a little confused. She felt that Xiang Yun was mocking her. She wanted to be angry but didn't dare to.

Xiang Yun continued, "Go back to your mother's house. I'm not afraid that someone will say crazy things to you, so I'm pulling these troops out to support you!

When we get to the Black Witch Country, if you are unhappy with someone, I will send soldiers to knock down his house, is that okay?"

Song Yun's face was filled with black lines, and she cursed Xiang Yun in her heart for being so sinister, but she could only force a smile on her face.

"Support me? You're kidding!" It was all over. Song Yun understood at this moment that she was just a foil. If there was anyone in the Black Witch Kingdom who really dared to stop the Great Sun Dynasty from taking over the territory of the Black Witch Kingdom, then these four million troops would beat him into a pulp!

Xiang Yun ignored her. Jiang Yue, who was standing by, stepped out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, may I ask?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Yun replied directly: "The training of the Fire Cloud Army still needs you. This time I only need to take Jiang Fei with me. As for the rest of the trivial matters, there are naturally other captains in the army who can take care of them."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue had no choice but to nod and retreat, feeling very unhappy. He also wanted to go to the war, and he had been itching to do so for a long time.

You have to know that he is a general on a war horse, not a civilian who only studies. It is already very good that he has managed the army for such a long time.

In fact, Xiang Yun also had his own considerations. With his own skills, he only needed one of the two brothers Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei to go, especially Jiang Yue. Now that he had a family, he had concerns, and it was naturally not good for him to be away from home all year round.

He already owed Jiang Fei a lot, and didn't want to owe Jiang Yue any more. He also didn't want to be ashamed to face Zhen Yueling one day in the future.

At least, Jiang Yue should have a successor.

The four million troops quickly assembled. Jiang Fei, wearing armor and with a silver-gray pistol on his waist, walked into the commander's tent holding the black spirit spear and reported: "Your Majesty, we can set off!"

Time was running out and Xiang Yun didn't want to delay either. After leaving the general's tent and arriving at the training ground, he just took a quick glance and felt extremely relieved.

These are all my troops!

Four million of them, lined up neatly together. You can't see the end at a glance. They are so densely packed that they are countless. With so many people, each of them is equipped with a large Japanese rifle and a pack of explosives. The combat power they have is terrifying to think about.

Xiang Yun even saw things similar to sniper rifles on the backs of many people. That is, a scope was installed on the Daiichi rifle. The overall gun body was also longer and larger than the ordinary Daiichi rifle, and seemed to be specially made.

Xiang Yun couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Peng Ying from the firearms workshop was not idle and actually made something. This made Xiang Yun feel more relieved.

"Let's go! Target: Black Witch Country!" Xiang Yun shouted loudly, bit his finger, and used blood as a guide. The Great Sun Emperor Sword and the Bright Light Armor immediately appeared on Xiang Yun's body. He held the Great Sun Emperor Sword high, mounted his warhorse, and headed out of the military camp first.

Xiang Yun led the four million Fire Cloud Army and set off towards the Black Witch Kingdom. They continued to march at a rapid speed along the way, as if they were in a hurry.

Since the official road from the capital to southern Xinjiang had been repaired by Xiang Yun's order and was now a direct highway, the journey was greatly shortened. So it only took Xiang Yun and his companions five days to reach southern Xinjiang.

Naturally, there were many spies from the Black Witch Kingdom in the Great Sun Dynasty. The emperor set out in a grand manner without giving a clear message, so these people didn't know whether Xiang Yun had good intentions or bad intentions.

But with four million soldiers fully armed, if you say he has no ill intentions, I would never believe it even if you kill me.

The King of the Black Witch Kingdom is named Song Hao. He is only thirty years old, but can be considered a man of character. He has been king since he was sixteen years old and has been working diligently all the way. It has been fourteen years now.

Over the years, he relied on two powerful state masters and Song Yun to gradually gather the power scattered in the hands of the ministers into his own hands, and even made the national strength of the Black Witch Kingdom rise sharply. Therefore, a vague aura of arrogance of a superior began to spread in his heart.

A centralized emperor who is only thirty years old would be arrogant, so it is good that he is like this.

However, his life, which had been going smoothly like a cheat, completely collapsed the moment his ambitions expanded and he decided to take a complete action against the Great Sun Dynasty, because Song Hao was just like a cheat, and the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty, in his opinion, was simply a cheat!

My goodness! Two national masters came thousands of miles away to assassinate someone, and after fighting for less than half an hour, the two national masters died tragically on the spot!

Two of his small generals led an army of 200,000 to destroy his army of several million. Now they have forcibly taken away his sister and are trying to seize his kingdom. This kind of behavior is simply too much!

It was really like you could tolerate your grandmother but you couldn't tolerate your uncle. Wow, Song Hao felt that he had to take action. If he continued to endure it, there would be no chance for the Black Witch Kingdom to defend its vast territory.

He had already thought about cooperating with the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty and participating in the Ten Thousand Dynasties War together. In the fight, the Great Sun Dynasty would definitely be the main force, and he would be the supporting one. In that case, they would have a double harvest if they won. If the Great Sun Dynasty lost, he would still have a way out. He could take the opportunity to annex the territory of the Great Sun Dynasty, and then ascend the throne again, take over the Great Sun Dynasty, and become the new monarch of the great dynasty.

But ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel. It seems that the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty did not come with the intention of cooperation from the very beginning. Instead, he wanted to swallow up the entire Black Witch Kingdom alive and did not want to spit out even a single bone.

Song Hao is in a dilemma now. The national teacher is dead, Song Yun is married, and he has no power around him now. There is only one outcome: either death or handing over the kingdom left by his ancestors.

After receiving the news that the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty was leading an army of four million in person, Song Hao could no longer remain calm and began to feel uneasy.

He clearly remembered that not long ago, the emperor personally led the army to conquer the entire Mahayana Kingdom. At that time, he only led a few hundred thousand troops, but now there are four million, and he was also accompanied by the God of War Jiang Fei, who had fought against the Black Witch Kingdom!

Song Hao couldn't help but ask, "Lord Guo, now all the troops in the Black Witch Kingdom have been mobilized, with a total of five million troops. If I let you lead the troops again, do you have a chance of winning?"

The old Guo Ziyi frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. If I hadn't met Jiang Fei, I would still have the will to fight to the death. What a pity..."

Guo Ziyi then sighed again: "Your Majesty, you don't know that when a person's power exceeds the cognition of ordinary people, the advantages of the army are like ants in front of those people."

"In that battle, I had a million soldiers under my command, but Jiang Fei ignored them and rushed to me in an instant, pointing his spear at my head, asking me to die or for him to die. What do you think of this? This is a completely unreasonable war. What's the point of fighting it?"

Guo Ziyi's words were unpleasant to the ear. Song Hao felt very unhappy after hearing them, but he was powerless to refute. The Black Witch Kingdom was good at witchcraft and the Five Poisons, but there were not many talented generals who were good at leading troops in battle.

The emergence of Guo Ziyi in these years is already the limit. The rest of the generals are not even a little bit inferior to Guo Ziyi in terms of command ability.

This is why Guo Ziyi, the leader of a defeated army, is still alive.

Song Hao frowned and shook his head, saying bitterly, "But, I can't really give up all the territory of the Black Witch Kingdom. Even if there is no chance of winning, I have to fight. The worst that can happen is that the country will be destroyed. I don't want to be a weak and surrendering king!"

Then Song Hao stood up and walked in front of Guo Ziyi, and actually bowed to him, saying sincerely: "I still ask Mr. Guo to help me at the risk of his life. I am here to thank you!"

Guo Ziyi dared not accept such a great gift from Song Hao, and immediately knelt down, crying out: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really have the will but not the strength, there is nothing I can do!"

Then Guo Ziyi kowtowed hard to Song Hao, making a loud bang. When he looked up again, a trace of blood was already flowing from his forehead.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. I dare not sit on the position of marshal even if I die!" Guo Ziyi did not stand up. He knelt in front of Song Hao and stepped back one meter. Then he knocked his head down again, and more blood flowed out.

Then he knelt down and retreated one meter, kowtowed again. While Song Hao was shocked beyond words, Guo Ziyi kowtowed and retreated all the way out of the court and left the place.

It was hard for Song Hao to imagine what had happened to scare the usually confident Grand Marshal Guo Ziyi into this state.

Even if I saw the scenery of hell, it wouldn't be like this!
