The marching speed of the three million strong army, if it was the war that Xuanyuan Zilong had lived in in his previous life, would definitely be a troublesome matter. However, in this Supreme Universe, the speed of these three million soldiers, who possessed the strength of the Profound King, was extremely fast. Within three days time, they had already traveled tens of thousands of miles, much faster than those so-called Thousand-Li Horses.

"What city is up ahead?" Xuanyuan Zilong asked while riding on his warhorse.

As the subordinate officer that Wu Meiniang had specially selected for Xuanyuan Zilong this time, Ye Xu looked at the map and then replied, "General, this is Donghe City, a city with a population of twenty million."

"Then prepare for battle!" Xuanyuan Zilong solemnly said.

"General, we are still at least twenty days away from the Corridor Pass. According to our calculations, the alliance of forty million soldiers should still be at a distance of thirty thousand miles away. It would not be possible for them to meet us so soon." Ye Xu reminded him.

"Hehe, you're saying, a city with a population of twenty million, why are there no caravans passing by?" Xuanyuan Zilong said.

"But, it seems like Eastriver City doesn't have any traces of a battle," said Ye Xu. They were only about twenty Li away from Eastriver City, so Ye Xu and Xuanyuan Zilong could clearly see the city walls. If they were to fight, the city walls would obviously leave behind traces.

"Is there any news of scouts?" Xuanyuan Zilong asked.

"I haven't received any news from the scouts ahead of us." Ye Xu shook his head.

"The rule of scouts is to send a message back every hour, regardless of whether the enemy is discovered or not. If it is not sent back, then it means that the scouts have encountered trouble." Xuanyuan Zilong said: "Immediately give the order to go around Eastriver City."

"General, aren't we short on food? If we do not have sufficient supplies, I am afraid that we will not be able to endure for five days. As for the next city, it will take at least six days. " Ye Xu said with some dissatisfaction.

Ye Xu still remembered the scene when Wu Meiniang had found him. He knew that he had to obey the order of the person in front of him, but Xuanyuan Zilong's command made him feel that it was unreasonable, so he wished to fight for it.

In his opinion, Xuanyuan Zilong was a bit surprised and a bit weird. Moreover, he thought that in terms of marching, he was even more adept than Xuanyuan Zilong.

"There won't be another city." Xuanyuan Zilong glanced at Ye Xu and said, "From now on, let's go around every city."

When Ye Xu saw the serious expression in Xuanyuan Zilong's eyes, he could only lower his head and reply, "Yes."

Just when the three million strong army was about to leave the area of Eastriver City, the city gates of Eastriver City suddenly opened and at the same time, the army poured out like a torrent.

At the same time, deafening shouts could be heard. Xuanyuan Zilong turned his head to look at the charging army, "Evacuate at full speed!" Ye Xu's face was pale and a trace of fear could be seen in his eyes. Looking at the army that numbered in the tens of millions, his heart was filled with shock.

"Give me the map!" Although he did not know how much military power there was, these few decades of academy life had not been in vain. He somewhat understood this, and that he still had a lot of help!

Three hundred miles to the left was a vast forest. Xuanyuan Zilong looked at the map and said to Ye Xu, "Pass down the order, turn around and head in the direction of the forest."

"General, you can't." Ye Xu was shocked and hurriedly said. As of now, he was finally sure that Xuanyuan Zilong did not know how to march and fight. Even if he did not dare to disobey Xuanyuan Zilong's orders, he could not let his men die in vain.

If they entered the forest, their escaping speed would definitely be slowed down. Right now, compared to tens of millions of soldiers, the three million strong army's only advantage would be their speed, but once they entered the forest, their speed would definitely slow down. If the pursuers behind them were to set fire to the entire forest, then their three million strong army would probably have the chance to be swallowed by the forest fire.

Although they were all people with cultivation, in a forest filled with magical beasts, it was impossible for humans to run past the fire, especially with such a large group. Even if the enemy didn't set fire to the forest, as long as they surrounded the exit, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they had wings.

"I said enter the forest, then enter the forest. Don't let me say it a second time." Xuanyuan Zilong coldly snorted.

"But ?" Ye Xu wanted to fight for more.

"There are no buts. Do your duty. If you hesitate in the next round, you will be punished by military law!" Xuanyuan Zi Long coldly glanced at Ye Xu.

"Yes ?" Ye Xu's face slightly changed. He hurriedly gave the order to turn the troop around and set off in the direction of the forest.

The ten million strong army behind them had also distanced themselves from them. However, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they wouldn't be able to escape if they were to chase from such a place.

An enemy commander who looked to be around three to four years old looked at the direction the great army led by Xuanyuan Zilong had changed directions, and his face couldn't help but reveal a smile: "According to the information sent by the scouts, the leader is a youth from who knows where. As expected, they are heading towards the forest on the left, haha ?"

One of the aides carefully asked, "General, do you think this is a trick of theirs?"

"A trick? In the face of absolute power, all tricks are useless. " The high-ranking officer sneered, "Mei Niang of the Great Zhou Empire is indeed a woman. With such an important military force, she actually sent an unknown young man to lead the army. Even a genius of the army would not have the slightest bit of experience.

"General is wise." The aide immediately tried to curry favor with him.

"Haha ?" The achievements of this army of millions is enough for me to rise to the rank of first rank. " General Li Kui laughed excitedly. But who could have guessed what a nightmare this so-called unknown boy had brought them?

Very quickly, the tens of millions of allied army changed their direction and headed towards the forest. After a while, the aide-de-camp hurried to Li Kui's side and said, "General, the three million strong army of the Great Zhou Empire has all entered the forest." the aide said.

"Good, very good! Are there any other abnormalities? " Li Kui asked.

"Your subordinate doesn't know if this is abnormal or not. The news that came from the scouts is not very clear. It seems that there are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Zhou Empire in the forest." the aide said.

"Haha ?" They are indeed children. Don't they know that even if we don't enter the forest, we can trap them alive in the forest? "For the past twenty years that I have led the troops, I have never used a forest fire to surround and kill an army of three million. This is so enjoyable, so gratifying!"

The great fire in the forest burned for a full three days and three nights, and the great army of over ten million of the allied army of the three countries guarded the outside of the forest for a full three days and three nights, looking at the great fire in the sky. During this time, many magical beasts and fierce beasts rushed out of the forest.

However, in these three days, they had not seen a single soldier from the Great Zhou Empire appear, until the entire forest had been reduced to scorched earth. The fire had gradually died down, but the smoke and dust that filled the sky had obscured their line of sight.

In the thick smoke, there seemed to be people moving around. However, the tens of millions of allied soldiers could not tell whether it was true or not.

Li Kui stood behind the cloud of dust and asked, "What do you think? Did you find any traces of the enemy?"

The aide-de-camp did not think too much about it. Smiling, he said, "General, this fire has already been burning for three days and three nights, how could there still be a living person. I'm afraid that the entire three million strong army of the Great Zhou Empire has already turned to ashes."

Even from more than ten miles away, the allied army could still feel the scorching heat of the raging fire, let alone the Great Zhou Army who was in a similar situation.

At this moment, a soldier beside Li Kui suddenly fell to the ground.

"What trash! He actually fainted from choking on smoke ?" As Li Kui spoke, he also felt a wave of dizziness.

"Will... General, my head is a little... He felt a little dizzy. Before he could finish his words, he dismounted one by one and the tens of millions of soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

At this time, in the charred forest, an army slowly walked over. Every soldier's face was covered by a wet cloth, and the cloth on their face was completely wet.

Not only that, but all of their armors and weapons were also exchanged. Some of their ordinary weapons, as well as low-grade weapons, had been exchanged for top-grade treasures. Perhaps it was because of this equipment, but all the soldiers' faces were full of fighting spirit.

At this time, Xuanyuan Zilong slowly walked over on his Heavenly Dragon Horse with a smile on his face. The soldiers behind him were also looking at him with completely different expressions, with reverence and worship ?

This kind of colourless and tasteless knockout drug could spread with the clouds of smoke, but it required water to detoxify. So, although this kind of knockout drug had an incomparably strong medicinal effect, it was too limited, and the antidote was too simple, so even if many people knew about this type of knockout drug, very few people still used it.

However, the smoke and dust that filled the sky, was the best environment for it to spread. Xuanyuan Zilong only needed to let his great army live for three days in the burning forest, and then, he would wait for the smoke and dust that filled the sky after the fire.

To let the army live for three days in the flames was a very difficult thing to do, but if it was to let the army live for three days in the burning forest, it would be easy for Xuanyuan Zilong.

The first thing Xuanyuan Zilong needed to do was clear out a large enough space in the forest and then use the simplest Fire Confinement Formation to isolate the fire. The Fire Confinement Formation, on the other hand, could absorb a large amount of fire energy and then convert it into the energy of the Fire Confinement Formation.

Of course, the premise was that their food was sufficient, but it was definitely not a problem for Xuanyuan Zilong. Previously, Ye Xu had said that food was only good for food, but that was something he had prepared himself, and to Xuanyuan Zilong, that was never a problem. If Xuanyuan Zilong was willing to give him a Fasting Pill, then the army would not need food for a month.

As for Li Kui, the fire that had been burning in the forest for three days and three nights had finally started to die down. The smoke and dust that filled the sky had created a perfect opportunity for Xuanyuan Zilong.

Xuanyuan Zilong had originally planned to take advantage of the moment when the enemy army was dispersing to break through the line of defense. But it was a good thing that time had come and he had obtained this godsend opportunity.

Of course, if it wasn't for Xing Ziyan reminding him that there was such a thing as Sang Qingfeng, it would have been impossible for Xuanyuan Zilong to know that his storage ring had something like this Sad Breeze that had been hidden for decades.

As for his own soldiers, as long as they all tore off a piece of cloth from their clothes and soaked it in water, Sad Breeze would directly melt into the water and not be sucked into their bodies. And during these three days, Xuanyuan Zilong had also changed out the top quality treasured weapons that he had prepared for the soldiers.

Therefore, when they appeared in front of the ten million strong army of the three kingdoms, the entire army had already fallen into a deep slumber. It was as if they were densely packed with ants that were sleeping in the tens of kilometers of ground.

Ye Xu did not know how to describe his feelings anymore. It was hard to describe the shock in his heart.

Capturing a prisoner of war alive and killing a prisoner of war were two entirely different concepts. Capturing a prisoner of war alive could be used to exchange for a large amount of resources from the enemy kingdom after the war ended, so the value of a prisoner of war was far greater than that of a dead person. Furthermore, the ultimate treasure that Xuanyuan Zilong had given them was provided by Xuanyuan Zilong alone.

"Find their commanders, kill all the ordinary soldiers and their supplies. Treat them as the spoils of war for our war. After all, we are here for war, so we can't lose our hunger." Xuanyuan Zilong ordered.

"Will... General, killed them all? " Ye Xu had a troubled expression on his face as he looked at Xuanyuan Zilong. There were tens of millions of people here, and there were tens of thousands of lives.

"Right now, we are not attacking cities or defending cities, we are fighting guerrilla warfare. Are you planning to bring over ten million prisoners of war to follow us around? Or perhaps we should bring these ten million prisoners of war back to the Imperial City? " Xuanyuan Zilong glanced at Yi Ye Xu, but his heart was also tangled.

Although it was as he had said, it was impossible for them to bring over ten million prisoners of war, but they really had to kill over ten million people. Although it wasn't Xuanyuan Zilong who did it, it was still too cruel.

In the past few days, he had become more and more clear about Xuanyuan Zilong's personality. This newly promoted champion duke or general, it was fine if he said that he was in charge, but in short, his words were orders. What Xuanyuan Zilong disliked the most was for others to question his orders.

Furthermore, Xuanyuan Zilong's repeated orders had already proven that his orders were always correct ?

In fact, not only Ye Xu, even the three million strong army was in a state of high excitement. They had been prepared to die along with the army, so their morale was not high in the beginning.

But now, after just a few days of war, they had actually annihilated an army of ten million without even a single soldier. This was practically an unimaginable accomplishment, and with the addition of the top-grade treasure weapon that many people would never be able to possess in their entire lives that Xuanyuan Zilong had given them, this caused them to develop an indescribable sense of trust in Xuanyuan Zilong.

Perhaps he could really create a miracle, many soldiers of the Great Zhou thought.

The three million strong army did not take that long to completely decapitate the ten million strong army. After all, as long as every person was able to cut off three or four heads, even if the mission was completed, their opponents would be unable to fight back at all.

In a split-second, the ground became a river of blood. There were no sounds of fighting on the battlefield, only the sharp sound of swords swinging down.

After a while, Ye Xu walked in front of Xuanyuan Zilong with two unconscious people in his hands. General, this person should be the general of this huge army of ten million people. He has the Imperial Decree on him, and this person should be his personal assistant. " Ye Xu pointed at Li Kui and the aide.

As a matter of fact, one could tell the rank of the other party just by looking at the armor. However, the Imperial Decree was the one that marked that person's identity.

"Wake them up." This was because in the short span of time just now, he had already found out that Xing Zi Yan was in his soul space and had chatted for a long time. Xing Zi Yan had also told him that there was no need to kill all of the enemies here, but at the same time, she had also told him what a true battlefield was.

"How?" Ye Xu could not think straight.

Xuanyuan Zilong rolled his eyes at Ye Xu. Ye Xu let out a cry of "Ah!" and promptly replied, "That's right!" With that, Ye Xu poured a bucket of water on Li Kui and his aide, waking them up. Li Kui seemed to be sleeping soundly, as he stretched lazily.

"Hmm? "Where is this place?" Li Kui rubbed his forehead and tried his best to be clear-headed. He did not seem to be aware of the situation he was in. He glanced at his aide-de-camp, who was getting up from his bed, and placed a foot on his aide-de-de-camp's butt. "You don't want to stay here anymore. Sleep in front of me!"

"Hmm? General, where are we now? I seem to remember... "Hmm ?" We were trying to clear the burnt forest, right? " "Who are you?" The aide-de-camp looked at Xuanyuan Zilong beside him, then looked at Ye Xu. He felt that the two of them were a little unfamiliar, and then he looked at the patterns on the armor of Xuanyuan Zilong and Ye Xu. He immediately turned pale with fright, "Not good ? You're people from the Great Zhou Empire. The aide finally came to his senses and shouted in alarm.

"Haha ?"

It only has one chapter of 5000, and its status recently isn't very high ?
