Inside the Mountain and River, everyone witnessed the situation inside the floating city, and they were all completely stunned and incredulous.
"My God, they're all dead... They're all dead! What a terrifying formation! It couldn't even withstand a half-step general level expert."
"My lord is truly amazing! With a single formation, you annihilated three half-step generals and countless demons."
"Hahaha... Damn human demons, they've actually met their match."
"In this battle, the demons and evil forces have suffered heavy losses, and our human race will achieve a great victory."
...
After a brief silence, everyone burst into wild laughter and celebration. Everyone was incredibly excited, and some even laughed until tears streamed down their faces.
Most of these people had relatives and friends who died at the hands of evil spirits.
Now, seeing the massive army of demons wiped out by Lin Xuan's formation, he wept with joy.
on deck.
Lin Xuan remained indifferent, for he already knew this outcome. He had set up the great formation, and he knew its power better than anyone else.
"Su Changfeng, Duan Tianya, you two take 200,000 men and go clean up the battlefield."
Lin Xuan remained calm and said in a deep voice, "After this battle, the demons suffered heavy losses. Most of their remaining forces should be in Japan."
The area behind was empty.
Ling Zhan, Li Wusheng, Zhang Jingmo, and Wu Yunxi, you four remaining people, split into four teams, and using this floating city as the center, sweep out in four directions to clear out an area of hundreds of millions of miles around the floating city..."
"Yes, sir..."
Su Changfeng and the other six responded loudly at the same time.
Immediately, the six men led their respective armies out of the Shanhe Ship.
On the warship, only Lin Xuan, his personal guard Tie Dachui, and Chu Lingkong, who was in charge of intelligence work, remained.
"My lord, the demons have suffered heavy losses. Shouldn't we notify Shanhaiguan and have them send troops to pursue our victory?"
Chu Linkong said in a deep voice.
"Shanhaiguan, haha... Do you think those people in Shanhaiguan will believe us? Or rather, are they even willing to believe us?"
Lin Xuan said dismissively, "Now that we have taken over the Floating City and defeated the demons, leaving their rear vulnerable, our Mountain and River Army is strong enough to cleanse the demons' rear and occupy it all."
The evil forces have no way back. The only thing they can do is use Japan as a springboard to launch a full-scale attack on the human race.
However, these are not things we should be considering.
The Great Xia Dynasty has countless powerful figures, and naturally someone will take action; it's not our turn to act yet.
Next, we will thoroughly cleanse this vast territory occupied by demons and evil spirits, obtain sufficient benefits, and then return to Hangu Pass to defend it…”
"Defend Hangu Pass?"
Chu Lingkong and Tie Dachui were both stunned, not understanding what Lin Xuan meant.
Hangu Pass is already under their control, so why did Lin Xuan say that they must defend it? Tie Dachui, in particular, was completely baffled.
Chu Lingkong, however, was only slightly puzzled before quickly realizing what was going on and said in a deep voice, "What you mean, sir, is that someone from Shanhaiguan is very likely to come and compete with us for control of Hangu Pass."
"It's not just possible, it's certain."
Lin Xuan sneered.
He knew all too well the character of some people in Shanhaiguan.
Now that the demons have suffered heavy casualties and their rear is vulnerable, the location of Hangu Pass has become even more important. Occupying Hangu Pass is tantamount to controlling the supreme territory occupied by the demons.
One can remain secluded in a corner, sitting comfortably on one's own platform.
There are too many vested interests involved. Given the nature of those people, they would never let go of such a great opportunity. They would definitely send people to reap the benefits and seize control of Hangu Pass.
"Damn it, these incompetent bastards, when something happens, they all hide in the back and don't say a word, and even kick someone when they're down."
Now that there are benefits, they're all rushing in.
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Tie Dachui's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and growled, "Sir, if anyone dares to come and steal our prize, just kill them."
"At worst, we can just rebel. Anyway, I've disliked those high-ups for a long time; they're all no good..."
“That’s right. The Hangu Pass is where it is today because we fought and died for it. You, sir, have also put in so much effort. How can we let others benefit from it?”
Chu Lingkong nodded in agreement, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes.
They had followed Lin Xuan through thick and thin, and naturally shared his hatred for the enemy. If anyone from Shanhaiguan really had the audacity to try and steal the spoils, they would stop them without Lin Xuan even having to give an order. They absolutely could not let those people from Shanhaiguan succeed in their scheme.
"Don't worry, Hangu Pass is ours, and no one can take it away."
Lin Xuan chuckled softly.
He would naturally not let anyone steal the fruits of his labor. With Hangu Pass and this floating island, he would transform them into the main base of the Shanhe Army in the future, so how could they be taken away by others?
No matter who it is, if they dare to extend their claws, he will chop them off.
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Chu Lingkong and Tie Dachui both broke into broad smiles almost simultaneously.
They were worried that Lin Xuan's stance wasn't firm enough, but now it seems they were overthinking it.
"Chu Lingkong, send a message to our people at Shanhaiguan and see what the situation is now." Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then continued, "Also, check with Hangu Pass and see where the army that came to support us is now."
Previously, an ancient general from Shanhaiguan led his army to Hangu Pass.
Later, tens of millions of regular troops were transferred from various places.
But given the current situation, it's clear that no support is needed. However, Lin Xuan had other ideas. He planned to intercept those tens of millions of regular troops.
Now that the demons have suffered a great defeat and heavy losses, he will use his great supernatural powers to move the floating island to Hangu Pass and then expand Hangu Pass.
As a result, Hangu Pass will be able to accommodate more people in the future, and will also require more soldiers.
Therefore, Lin Xuan set his sights on the tens of millions of soldiers who came to provide support.
Adding to the more than ten million humans who were previously enslaved by demons and the soldiers of Hangu Pass itself, the manpower will be sufficient.
As for the large number of people and the excessive energy expenditure, Lin Xuan was even less concerned about that.
The contribution point system he has now established is already enough to make the Mountain and River Army completely self-sufficient. In the future, this model can be extended to the entire Hangu Pass. Lin Xuan plans to build Hangu Pass into a transcendent force.
While they may not be on equal footing with the Great Xia, they can at least control a certain degree of influence.
However, this is on the premise that he himself is strong enough.
"Ultimately, it all comes down to my own strength. If I had the power to kill gods with ease, those people at Shanhaiguan would be groveling before me."
Lin Xuan sneered, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes.
After settling everything, Lin Xuan's figure flashed, and he was back in his room inside the Shanhe ship.
It's been a while since I've been to the Ancient Era; it's time to go check it out.
