Chapter 513 Take Care of Yourself
Don't underestimate a single dynasty, it cannot be compared with Daqian.
But when seven or eight of them are added together, the number of the coalition forces is also considerable, exceeding 30 million.
And there are many more dynasties that have been watching.
Now that Jiang Lin came with the giant's skeleton in his hand, everyone knew that this must be Da Gan's secret weapon.
If they were really transported back, they would face a catastrophic disaster.
No one thought that Da Gan would stop there. Emperor Shun made it clear that he wanted to completely conquer all dynasties, and no one would be able to escape.
Even if they don't want to fight, they have to fight now.
Seeing that the seven or eight dynasties had taken the lead, the other dynasties, after a little hesitation, also chose to add insult to injury.
When there are more people than fewer, there is always a chance.
Being surrounded by coalition forces from many dynasties was not the first time that the Dagan Border Army had encountered such a thing.
It can be said that during the four hundred years of wars, Da Gan had encountered these situations frequently and had already acquired rich experience.
A dozen generals were not panicked. They commanded the border troops to form a military formation and surround Jiang Lin.
The giant skeleton covering hundreds of miles is their center.
Faced with such a situation, Jiang Lin had no intention of taking action.
Although he can easily smash the "coffin" above, the mighty power of the giant skeleton will pour out and no one can stop it.
But such force will also cause indiscriminate harm to the border troops.
Jiang Lin will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
As for now, the only thing he can do is to temporarily put down the giant skeleton and join the battle.
Although Jiang Lin was not a member of the border army, the battle formation of the border army came from his mouth.
Jiang Lin’s understanding of battle formations is no less than that of others.
With him leading the charge and combined with the strength of the battle formation, the power is naturally quite considerable.
Jiang Lin, who was integrated into the battle formation for the first time, was surprised by the abundance of power he felt.
How powerful it is. I always feel like I am omnipotent and have endless power.
"As expected of a famous battle formation, no wonder they were able to suppress an enemy that was more than a dozen levels higher than them with their sheer numbers."
It is incredible that soldiers with the second or third level of martial arts cultivation can compete with those at the Daowu realm by forming a military formation.
Jiang Lin swung his fists, releasing the power of the Daowu realm.
The Youlong Sword, Bai Ze, Xuanwu, and the Jianbing Divine Arrow can kill enemies independently.
The power of these four top-grade magic weapons should not be underestimated. The dynasty coalition forces have never seen such powerful weapons.
The four top-grade magical weapons are specially selected for powerful people.
The lowest level must be the ninth level of the Divine Martial Realm, and if it is a little stronger, it is the Dao Martial Realm.
There were also masters of the Daowu realm in the dynasty coalition forces, and they had to stand up to block the four magical weapons.
But soon they suffered a great loss. Who could have imagined that each of these four magical weapons possessed unique and powerful attributes.
Their different special attributes make them equally capable when facing those at Daowu realm.
This war started and lasted for a long time.
There was endless debate within Dagan about this, and many people believed that the border troops should be withdrawn first and the battle should be advanced steadily.
Although the giant skeleton is important, not just anyone can take it away.
What's more, people from other dynasties don't understand battle formations, so it will be useless even if they take away the giant skeletons.
However, Emperor Shun never issued an imperial decree. In addition to trusting the border troops and Jiang Lin, he also wanted to use this opportunity to enhance the combat effectiveness of the border troops.
Those new recruits are too inexperienced. They have been in the army for too short a time. How long will it take for them to become veterans?
There is not enough time for them to hone their skills, so it is better to use this war to support their development.
As for the separation of Dagan and the border troops, it is not a big deal.
If they wanted to deal with more than 10 million border troops, those dynasties would have to put in all their efforts.
The dynasty is internally empty. If Da Gan sends one million border troops to attack at this moment, it will be easy to take it down.
Marshal Yu did make a suggestion, suggesting that it would be better to take a risk and conquer several dynasties in one fell swoop.
However, the civil officials strongly opposed it. They knew very well that Da Gan’s enemies were not only the external dynasty, but also the powerful clans within.
If we really want to take away all the border troops, the garrison camp alone may not be enough to resist the powerful clans.
After all, the powerful clans controlled the provincial armies in various places, and their number was as high as two million.
The only thing that is inferior to the border troops is that the provincial troops do not understand battle formations.
However, with two million provincial troops and the extremely high individual combat effectiveness of the powerful clans, it would be too easy to attack Kyoto without the threat of border troops.
However, to everyone's surprise, Emperor Shun directly ignored the opinions of the civil officials and actually let Marshal Yu lead the troops out.
This made the civil officials very anxious, and they submitted a report overnight.
Some extreme people even knelt outside the imperial study with ropes in their hands, declaring that they would be hanged here unless the emperor withdrew his imperial edict.
Emperor Shun still ignored it, which was something many people could not understand.
They didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor would take such a risk.
Aren’t powerful clans scary?
Although several powerful clans had been inexplicably destroyed over the past year or so, the remaining ones were still a serious concern.
What surprised everyone even more was that when Marshal Yu led the border troops away from the hinterland, the powerful clans not only did not take the opportunity to cause chaos, but instead remained very quiet.
Only after the frontier troops had completely left the Dagan border did the powerful clans begin to move.
However, their target was not Kyoto or the imperial court, but the Qingzhou Li family.
The ancestors of the powerful clans who escaped back reported everything they had heard.
It was learned that the people who attacked the team were suspected to be from the Qingzhou Li family, and they were the real culprits behind the extermination of the clan.
All the powerful clans were angry, so even if the news was spread by Jiang Lin, it was still credible.
They did not act rashly because they did not want to cause misunderstandings in the court.
After all, the Qingzhou Li family was able to raid and kill more than 200 people in the Divine Martial Realm, as well as a team led by several Dao Martial Realm ancestors, but they did not notice anything unusual.
This is enough to show that the true strength of this clan is far beyond one's imagination.
A sufficiently powerful enemy is already disturbing, and the powerful clans really don't want to have any disputes with the court at this time.
So they didn't take action until Marshal Yu and the border troops left.
The Qingzhou Li family was surrounded. Thousands of masters in the Shenwu realm, dozens of Daowu realm ancestors, and tens of Yuanwu realm masters made the place completely blocked.
Even tens of millions of border troops would be wary of such a force.
However, faced with such power, the Qingzhou Li family did not give in at all.
They did not admit that they were the ones who attacked and killed the team, but how could the powerful clans believe them?
At this moment, I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Who asked your Qingzhou Li family to marry Jiang Lin? You must have made some shameful deal with the imperial court behind the scenes.
You guys are really out of your mind trying to exterminate the clan and curry favor with the court!
Hand over the culprit, especially that evil woman Li Qingluan, and perhaps we can leave some bloodline for your Qingzhou Li family.
There was no way the Qingzhou Li family would surrender, so the two sides started fighting.
Surprisingly, the clan that besieged Qingzhou Li was only a part of it.
There is also a part that actually chooses to help.
Among them are naturally clans that have been infiltrated by the imperial court over the years, as well as fence-sitters who have inexplicably turned their backs on the court.
Although their number is not large, they together account for about one-third of the powerful clans.
An internal struggle began.
The powerful clans were fighting fiercely and the civil officials were dumbfounded.
Who could have imagined that the powerful clans would fight among themselves?
At this moment, they finally understood why Emperor Shun dared to let Marshal Yu take the border troops away from the hinterland.
I'm afraid they already knew that the powerful clans would kill each other.
The powerful clans actually realized this and it seemed inappropriate to start a war rashly.
But now they are in a difficult situation, and the Qingzhou Li family and their allies are making exorbitant demands in the name of battle casualties.
Unless we agree to pay them a huge compensation, we will fight to the death.
But the conditions they demanded were almost equivalent to emptying the financial resources of all the powerful clans.
If it were really given, these powerful clans could be disbanded on the spot.
One dared to ask for it, and the other was unwilling to give it, so the two sides quarreled and fought over it.
Even if the powerful clans no longer want to fight, it is impossible.
Emperor Shun was in the imperial study, and every day he learned the latest developments, his brows were relieved a little.
The information provided by Duke Jiang was indeed correct. The clans were not really united. As long as they started fighting, there would be no peace.
The powerful clans are no longer to be feared. Even if they reconcile and stop fighting one day, their strength will have been greatly weakened.
By that time, the border troops had gone through the trials of blood and fire and had been completely formed, so there was no need to worry.
As for Xujian Dao, the only Taoist sect still in existence, it seems to have been forgotten in a corner by everyone.
That area was designated as a restricted area by the imperial court, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
Time passed like this, and after about three years, the fighting between the powerful clans came to an end.
In these three years, at least ten clans have been completely exterminated.
The strength of the surviving clans was weakened by at least 30% to 40%.
They stopped fighting, not because they didn't want to, but because the instigator had disappeared.
All the people of the Qingzhou Li family died in the past few years.
When everyone came to their senses, they realized that the original fuse had disappeared and there was no point in them continuing to fight.
But after settling their losses, the faces of the powerful clans all looked extremely ugly.
Among the ancestors in the Daowu realm alone, at least dozens of them have died in the past three years.
In this era, it is almost impossible to advance to the Daowu realm, and one less death means one less person.
Dozens of people died at once, and even if they were scattered among the homes of various clans, they were still heartbroken.
But what can they do? They were the ones who started the war in the first place, and then they were entangled by the Qingzhou Li family, so they couldn't stop even if they wanted to.
Even now, everyone understands that the Qingzhou Li family is just a cover.
They are not afraid of death at all, and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for the decline of other clans.
By the time you understand this truth, it's too late.
As for the annihilation of the Qingzhou Li family, it is not worth being happy about. At least the powerful clans are not very happy.
In addition, the border is tens of thousands of miles away.
Marshal Yu has led an army of one million and joined forces with tens of millions of border troops.
The hometowns of those dynasties were cleaned up by Marshal Yu.
In three years, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses.
At least tens of millions of people died, and the border troops also suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the casualties.
But those who survived were veterans who had experienced many battles.
Although the power of the battle formation is weaker than before, the improvement of personal abilities makes the future promising.
As long as the number of people is replenished, the power of the battle formation will be further enhanced.
This is a good cycle, with more veterans able to quickly bring out more new recruits.
The more troops we have, the easier it will be to defeat other dynasties.
The more dynasties you conquer, the easier it will be to obtain manpower.
For three years, the Dagan border army has resisted the attacks of the coalition forces of more than a dozen dynasties, and now it is still powerful and standing firm.
After joining forces with Marshal Yu, he defeated tens of millions of enemy troops in the rear in one fell swoop.
After fighting their way out of a bloody battle, the Dagan border troops began to retreat.
They even gave up the land conquered by Yu Shuai and retreated to a safe enough position.
The coalition forces of other dynasties wanted to pursue and kill them, but after suffering several losses and being exhausted in recent years, they had to stop and rest temporarily.
The border troops, having been given ample opportunity to catch their breath, retreated tens of thousands of miles and returned to their original territory before stopping.
Jiang Lin held the giant's skeleton in his hand and headed towards Kyoto.
Yu Shuai and others looked at his back and did not speak for a long time.
Everyone knows that the current Duke Jiang is no longer on the same level as them.
When the skeletons of these giants were transported back, Dagan was no longer the same Dagan.
"From a small blacksmith, step by step to where he is today, the more I witness, the more unimaginable it seems to me." said Yu Shuai.
Hong Shuai followed up, "I think so too. That kid wasn't that great back then, but it hasn't been that long and he's already so capable. Even my great national destiny depends on him."
In the past three years, Miao Yonghuai was rapidly promoted from a captain to a lieutenant general.
He is still the youngest lieutenant general in the history of Dagan.
He held a spear and looked majestic.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's my master, he's invincible!"
Ling Shuai came over and kicked him out: "Then what am I?"
Miao Yonghuai stood outside the account, smiled and said, "You can only be considered the second master."
Ling Shuai treats him very well, and they are as close as father and son, but in Miao Yonghuai's heart, Jiang Lin's position will always be the most important.
Ling Shuai just asked casually and didn't take it to heart.
He knew that he could not compare with Jiang Lin.
On the contrary, he felt that being able to teach Duke Jiang's apprentice for several years was something he should be proud of.
Looking at all the great coaches out there, who else can do the same thing?
The border troops began to rest and recruit new soldiers, waiting for the next order.
Jiang Lin returned to Kyoto all the way with the giant's skeleton.
When his figure passed by the door of the powerful clan, everyone came out and looked up.
The powerful clans all knew what the huge object he was holding in his hand was. Many people had flickering eyes and wanted to stop him, but no one dared to act rashly.
The border troops have returned, but their own strength has been greatly reduced.
Emperor Shun's imperial edict was delivered to the doorsteps of every powerful clan the day before.
"I only tell you four words, take care of yourself!"
