Chapter 21: A Thousand Mile March

After the army set off, Kong Ming bid farewell to Shaliye, Locke and others. He took MiG 29 and Ling Yun and followed the army quietly.

Although he was hard to part with Kong Ming, Shaliye hid the sorrow of parting deeply in his heart. He sent Kong Ming out of the dwarf territory with a smile.

Although Kong Ming knew Shaliye's mood, he could not take her with him. After all, war was cruel, and no one could guarantee that no accident would happen.

This time, the reason why Kong Ming did not choose to follow the army was to cultivate Ioria's ability to fight independently. If Kong Ming was with him, Ioria would inevitably be restrained when acting. When making decisions, he could not let go of his courage without any scruples. He was more likely to rely too much on Kong Ming's decision so that he could not be able to display himself.

Kong Ming followed quietly, which could avoid the influence on Ioria, and could also test Ioria's leadership ability.

At this time, the 200,000 army had arrived in Holy Rain City, and Sophid and others met with Noah who were already waiting here.

The current Holy Rain City has become the birthplace of the Taiping Divine Cult. The residents of the entire Holy Rain City are devout believers of the Taiping Divine Cult. Because the residents have seen the miracles of Taiping and the miracles brought to this place by Taiping.

Noah is also different from the past. As the messenger of the God of Peace on earth, Noah has become the incarnation of the God of Peace. He himself has extraordinary temperament and a holy face. In addition, the transformation of the God of the Underworld, even if he claims to be God, countless believers will believe it.

Now the Taiping God Cult is in the limelight in the country of the Light Empire. One-third of the people in the entire Light Empire have begun to believe in the Taiping God.

However, Noah, who has nearly two million believers, did not feel any complacency because of such strength. He has always been diligent in the tasks assigned to him by Kong Ming and the God of the Underworld, and has never forgotten Kong Ming's great kindness to him.

At this time, the God of the Underworld had no idea which city to show its divine power. Since he showed his divine power several times and attracted many believers, the God of the Underworld has become addicted to playing and has shown miracles from time to time in the Light Empire. Although it has increased rapidly, it has also attracted the attention of the Light Empire.

The Empire of Light had already sent Ming and several high priests of the Temple of Light to explore the rules of the appearance of the God of Hymn, preparing to seize this false god, and then burn him to death in front of his believers.

Let’s not mention the matter of the God of the Underworld. Let’s talk about the 200,000 troops that arrived at the Holy Rain City.

Noah gave a brief introduction to Sophid and others about the recent unrest in the Light Empire.

A month ago, the God of Light sent 50,000 escorts of the Apostles to various places to suppress the believers of the Taiping God. Several bloody suppression had occurred in several areas where the believers of the Taiping God of Light were flooded. The believers of the Taiping God of Light were also angry and fought against the believers of the Light.

At this time, the surrounding cities of the Empire of Light had already been the world of the Taiping God Cult. The central cities were the most turbulent areas. There were many people who believed in both religions, which led to constant attacks between the believers of the two religions.

Only near the imperial capital, there are few believers of the Taiping Divine Cult, and it is also the most peaceful area of ​​the entire empire. Of course, compared with Ioria and others, the difficulties are much greater.

The 200,000 army was stationed in the City of Holy Rain for ten days. Sophid, Ioria and others made new arrangements according to the situation provided by Noah.

They decided to name the army as the Taiping Gods' Appointment of the Gods of War. They first annihilated the 50,000 Appointment of the Light Paladin, and then divided the troops into two groups. Sophid still went to the Holy Spirit City, while Ioria led the army to the imperial capital.

The place where the Abbot of Light Apostles was annihilated was arranged in the Holy Forest City, not far from Holy Rain City. The residents of Holy Forest City believers each believe in the two religions, and they can use the conflict between believers to attract the Abbot of Light.

The city of Holy Forest is densely covered with woods, and there will be no problem hiding 200,000 troops in it. Moreover, after the city of Holy Forest, there is a three-way intersection, one that leads to the Holy Sacred City and the other that leads to the imperial capital.

After several people discussed, Noah took a group of believers to the City of Holy Forest. And the 200,000 army quietly traveled to the City of Holy Forest at night.

After Noah arrived at the city of Holy Forest, the Taiping Gods Church in the city of Holy Forest was extremely excited. All the Taiping Gods Church kneeled devoutly in the city to welcome their Gods envoys.

The believers of the Church of Light threw rotten eggs and tomatoes at Noah. The actions of the Church of Light immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Church of Taiping. There was a friction between the believers of the two religions.

At first, they just threw tomato and rotten eggs with each other, which soon turned into physical friction, and the conflict escalated into mutual attacks. The mutual attacks also soon caused bloodshed events. The bloodshed incident directly led to the madness of the believers. The entire Holy Forest City was in chaos immediately.

When the Light Apostles Paladin Knights received the news, they immediately rushed to the Holy Forest City to suppress it. But the Light Apostles Paladin Knights never expected that there were 200,000 troops hidden outside the Holy Forest City.

With intentional calculations but no intention, and preparedness without preparation. The advantage of numbers, momentum, equipment, and combat power. With such an advantage, the 50,000 sacred knights of the Paladin of Light Cavalry were destroyed by a blow of 200,000 troops without any defense.

The 50,000 Paladin of Light Apostles was wiped out by 200,000 troops in less than a day. The confrontation between religions is always the most cruel. The 50,000 Paladin of Light Apostles fought until the last person, but still did not surrender in front of the enemy who was several times more than his own.

Although this battle was easily won, Ioria felt deeply worried about the battle of the imperial capital in the future. The enemy's tenacious resistance was unprecedented, and the enemy's strong belief was unprecedented.

Looking at the enemies with fanatical light in their eyes, the scenes of heroic deaths made Aoria feel heavy. The army of imperial capital they will face in the future will inevitably be such an enemy. At that time, facing 350,000 enemies, I am afraid that I will be lenient in killing them.

Kong Ming has been quietly following the army, and is very satisfied with the action of Sophid and others to change their plans and annihilate the 50,000 Paladins of Light.

The ability to change the plan according to the current situation and arrange the plan very carefully, which shows that several people have a certain degree of grasp of the battle situation. I believe that with the training of the war, they will soon be able to stand alone.

After annihilated the 50,000 knights of the Paladin of the Light Apology, the army divided into two groups and launched a long-planned attack on the Light Empire.

Ioria led an army of 180,000 and marched towards the imperial capital.

Kong Ming looked at Ioria's marching method and nodded secretly. He had a new understanding of Ioria.

The army led by Ioria was very chaotic during the march. However, Kong Ming, who was familiar with the battle formation, knew that the seemingly chaotic army actually had murderous intentions. Those who were not familiar with the formation of Tianlai City could not distinguish them at all.

A seemingly chaotic army can quickly change its formation if it encounters an ambush. It can quickly separate the enemy-resisting formations according to different situations and attack the enemy head-on.

The reason why Ioria chose to march like this was to avoid the enemy's investigation. This was a regular army with a long battle formation. The other was to paralyze the enemy, and to mistakenly think that this was an undisciplined miscellaneous army.

At the beginning, the 180,000 army did not encounter any obstacles.

Now, the troops in various cities of the Empire of Light are insufficient, with each city ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 troops ranging from 10,000 to 10,000 troops. Even if you want to stop it, you will be blocking the chariot.

The king of the Empire of Light had already received news that 180,000 Taiping Gods' Appointments were heading towards the imperial capital. The king immediately ordered the troops of the cities along the way to evacuate backwards and gathered in one place to launch an ambush.

As the army was investigated, it was discovered that the army was in chaos, and it was obviously a miscellaneous army without training. The king of the Empire of Light breathed a sigh of relief, believing that the gathered army would be enough to defeat the 180,000 troops.

Ioria's army did not capture any city. Without stopping, the army directly pointed to the imperial capital. It marched during the day and set up camp at night. The space storage ring carried by Ioria has enough food, grass, stoves and other items needed to maintain the army for a year, and are also placed in the storage space.

Within a month, there was no ambush miraculously, which also made the army's march very fast. At this time, the army had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Empire of Light, only 800 miles away from the imperial capital. Just cross the Holy Spirit Mountains and you can reach the imperial capital.

Due to the smooth sailing along the way, the young Ioria was a little more vigilant.

Looking at the mountains ahead, Ioria was filled with excitement. After passing the mountains, it would take more than ten days to reach the imperial capital area of ​​the Empire of Light. When you get there, I believe that a real battle will begin.

As it was getting dark, Ioria ordered a large army to set up camp twenty miles away from the mountains. Although Ioria was a little more vigilant, she did not dare to forget the common sense of marching. He still knew that camping at the foot of the mountain was prone to ambush.

After setting up camp, due to the fatigue of several days, the soldiers soon entered the sleeping village after eating.

At midnight, the camp was pitch black, and the burning bonfire emitted a faint red light.

Snoring sounds were everywhere in the camp, and the soldiers were all asleep at this time. Because they relaxed their vigilance, Ioria even forgot to arrange for the soldiers to patrol the camp.

The soldiers who were watching the night also had already slept in the camp due to the fatigue of the whole day.
