"That's right. We should gather our strength now and sit back and watch the fight. When either side falls into decline, we will launch a fierce attack and will surely achieve great results."
The general of Wei State nearby hurriedly spoke.
"Okay, let's take everyone's opinions as the priority. We should first prepare our troops and be ready to attack at any time."
The King of Wei made the decision excitedly. He seemed to see himself becoming the biggest winner of this battle in the Central Plains, and at that time he would be the emperor of the Central Plains.
Such scenes are also occurring in other neighboring countries, and the surrounding forces are ready to take a bite of this piece of fat meat at any time.
In the north, the Zhao army had already left the capital and was slowly moving towards the small city in front of Feicheng where Yan was stationed. In the east, the soldiers of Lingyun were still resting in Yangcheng and could take the initiative to attack Shangyangcheng where Duan Tianming was currently stationed at any time. The two sides were on the verge of a fight and were less than a hundred kilometers apart.
In the south, the Wei army had already prepared itself south of the mountains surrounding the city of Molai, where the Yan State was stationed. Although the Wu State in the southwest had not sent out any troops, its soldiers had already gathered at the parade ground near the capital.
This is a battle of national destiny. The surrounding countries obviously do not want to see the minced meat in their eyes turn into a piece of iron plate. The Lingyun Country, which took the first move, also began to move out, and the situation gradually became critical.
These countries are watching the fight from the sidelines. If any side shows any signs of fatigue, they will be hit by a heavy blow.
Duan Tianming obviously understood this, which was why he arranged for himself and the coalition forces of neighboring countries to garrison these five cities in advance. Together with the soldiers of these countries, each of these five cities had tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there, and Yan State completely controlled the city defenses on the border.
Now, the most important thing is to concentrate our main forces to fight a good battle and intimidate the neighboring countries. Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains region and have an opportunity for long-term peaceful development.

On the parade ground of Shangyang City, Duan Tianming was reviewing the soldiers who were preparing to participate in this battle of national destiny. These soldiers were the absolute main force of Yan State. Standing in the front was the Xianzhen Camp that had made great military exploits. These more than 700 people, led by Luo Wu, represented the elite of Yan State. Behind them was the main force of Yan State that had completed training, the Danyang Army with a number of 5,000 people. This army was the current backbone of Yan State and was led by Li Fei, who had made great achievements in the last war of gods with Duan Tianming.
On both wings of these arms are the 10,000-strong Luonan Federation army directly controlled by the Yan State after completing training. Half of the troops in this army are now wearing simple iron armor. This is the result of the full supply of iron production in the Yan State during this period. These armors were the iron pots in many public canteens, and now they have become weapons to protect the lives of soldiers.
The other half are mostly archers wearing leather armor. The materials of these leather armor are mainly purchased from the Shenqi Kingdom, which basically meets the supply of this elite army.
And this is not the entire army of Yan State. In the surrounding big cities, there are many coalition forces of vassal states stationed in the surrounding areas. Those coalition forces have a steady supply of iron weapons behind them.
Behind this war are Yuqing City and Luokou City, which are operating at full capacity. The ironworks in the two cities are frantically forging weapons, which are being transported to these cities. Construction engineers from Yan State and laborers from neighboring countries are also arranged to the front line to start building city walls and various city defense measures.
All kinds of food and supplies produced in the two cities were also supplied to these cities crazily. Various newspapers and periodicals of Yan State began to spread propaganda and appease the people crazily. The high ground of the public opinion front was built layer by layer, and the idea of a just war was spread crazily to the surrounding countries.
War is not just a battle of military strength, but also a competition of various capabilities based on productivity. Obviously, this time, Duan Tianming has maximized the capabilities of the entire Luonan Federation, and this level of performance may be unimaginable for neighboring countries.

The army of Lingyun Kingdom attacked. They were truly powerful. A total of 20,000 troops crossed the plain and began to approach Shangyangcheng. They wanted to be the first to bite this piece of fat meat.
The Great Elder was holding two young ladies in his arms. No one knew which country they were from or which nobles' children, but they were both very pretty.
Now the old man Zheng is taking these new confidantes to experience the feeling of flying. Although it is called flying, in fact, according to the level of the fourth-level spiritual power unit, without the enhancement of spiritual power technology, real flying is still quite difficult. It can only be said to be jumping or gliding.
But it was a very good experience for the two women.
The cheerful laughter spread across the open plain and reached the soldiers' ears.
But these soldiers were already numb, and such laughter did not touch their hearts at all. At this time, they were wearing cloth clothes, holding bronze swords in their hands, and some were holding bows and arrows or shields.
In this sunny March, the ice and snow in the Central Plains have just melted. The melted snow water is the only moisture during this spring drought period. These uncultivated plains are rich in fertility, which nourishes the unbridled growth of flowers and grasses.
However, this growing beauty was not felt by anyone. The soldiers of Lingyun Kingdom had no mood to appreciate the beauty. They only felt cold and fear.
In their hearts, this war was not what they wanted to fight. If they lost, they would lose everything, including their families.
If they win, the immortals will get more wealth, land, women and other things that they envy, but what is left to them may be a mutilated body, a low grave or a mass grave, and of course, the crying of their families.
"This is the tragedy of the times. These poor warriors need to be saved and respected. The greatest respect we can show them now is to kill them with a single blow and then take good care of their parents and wives."
This is what Duan Tianming said on the training ground.
"This war isn't for my own benefit or the interests of the nobles. It's more about peace, to give us and our families a chance at peace. We're fighting for liberation, to free those of our own race who are still suffering from the oppression of the immortals, so they can live the same life as us Yan people. We're fighting for redemption. We are the only light in this awful world. We want to redeem them, and we must eliminate them."
"Now, everyone, join me and raise the swords in your hands. Together, we must ensure that all people on this God-forsaken continent live a good life. Let them have a better future, a better life, and a higher dignity."
Everyone raised their weapons, and morale reached its peak.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
