I Have A City In An Alternate World-Chapter 4172 - : The start of the war (1)
Chapter 4172: The start of the war (1)
The reinforcements from the foreign tribes arrived on the third day of the meeting and caused huge losses to the Allied forces.
The Empress’s Army took the opportunity to fight and actually won in a short time, causing the enemies to throw away their armor.
The Alliance Army, which had suffered heavy losses, had no choice but to temporarily stop their advance and choose to hold their position while waiting for new orders.
Facing the increasingly ferocious enemies, the Alliance Army’s morale was severely affected.
From the start of the war until now, the countries on the Alliance’s side had invested a large number of soldiers and financial resources.
Their initial goal was to obtain victory in a short time and thus obtain a wider territory.
...
It was the same for the major churches. They wanted to kill the unruly empresses and then take the opportunity to divide up a rich country.
However, the development of the situation gave all the participants a headache. Not only did they not achieve their expected goal, but they also made the situation worse.
Victory was far away, and the cost of war was getting higher and higher, to the extent that it was already a serious injury.
Many opportunists began to waver.
The continuous failures had also made the higher-ups of the major churches flustered and exasperated, thinking that their prestige and status had been seriously affected.
In order to prevent the situation from worsening, the higher-ups of the major churches gathered again to discuss a solution to the problem.
They specifically targeted the Empress and the female tribe leader who had become their ally, and issued the highest level of strangulation order.
The order was issued in the form of a divine decree, and it had a strong appeal. The number of times it had been issued could be counted with one’s fingers.
This was an order given by God. As a loyal believer, how could he not carry it out with all his might?
The believers who responded to the call gave up everything and rushed to the front line, ready to fight for their beliefs.
It was the same for the Queen’s side. All the people were mobilized to participate in the war, and the evil god believers and reinforcements from other countries also rushed to the battlefield one after another.
The tents stretched for hundreds of miles, and countless people participated in the battle.
The war between the two sides could be said to be endless. It was like dry wood and fire, only lacking the final touch.
Before the final battle broke out, both sides maintained absolute restraint. Even if they occasionally bumped into each other, they would pretend to turn a blind eye.
Those who did not know the situation might mistakenly think that the war had ended, so they did not raise their weapons.
Only those in the know knew that this was the calm before the storm. Both sides had already begun their preparations to launch a shocking war.
The outcome of this battle could very well affect the final victory.
At the back of the Empress’s camp, Tang Zhen was leading an Army and was advancing rapidly along the main road.
Normally, with his status, he didn’t need to participate in this war at all. It was more convenient for him to stay in the back.
Regardless of the outcome of the war, it would not affect him in any way.
Tang Zhen, however, took the initiative to request to participate in the battle. This was because this battle was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
The 5,000 ghouls that followed them were a private army that Tang Zhen had spent countless resources to build for himself.
A person’s strength was ultimately limited, especially the rules of this world. It was destined that cultivators could not become gods.
If he wanted to accomplish great things, he would still need help.
However, ordinary cultivators were simply unable to meet Tang Zhen’s requirements. On the contrary, corpse ghosts were more convenient to use.
Tang Zhen had a plan. He set up an ambush in the swamp on the front line and captured all of the vanguard Corps.
He then cast a secret technique and turned the soldiers into corpse ghosts.
Next, Tang Zhen secretly moved this group of corpse soldiers to the underground cave of the manor. After that, he did not spare any resources to start the construction.
Tang Zhen’s methods were extraordinary and he was able to do what humans couldn’t. The corpse ghost that he refined was naturally not simple.
The real problem was that the resources required were too large, and even the Empress could not provide them unconditionally.
Tang Zhen was also the same. He was under the restriction of the rules and similarly faced the predicament of not having anything to cook.
In order to obtain resources, Tang Zhen had refined a type of secret medicine and used it to exchange for other resources.
The Empress had obtained the secret medicine by accident and was extremely excited. She would naturally do her best to satisfy Tang Zhen’s request.
She wanted the formula but was rejected by Tang Zhen and never mentioned it again.
It was obvious that they were afraid of angering Tang Zhen and causing the relationship between the two parties to break down. It was better to cooperate honestly.
One hand for money, one hand for goods, each taking what they needed.
There was a secret medicine processing plant under the manor where Tang Zhen lived. The workers were those ghouls.
They worked day and night to produce secret medicines, satisfying the needs of the cultivators in the front line.
Using the resources obtained from the trade, Tang Zhen continued to upgrade the corpse Ghost Army, and its combat strength became stronger and stronger.
Tang Zhen would definitely not miss the battle that was about to happen. This was an opportunity for the corpse Ghost Army to transform from a cocoon into a butterfly.
Everyone knew that this decisive battle was a game between the experts behind the scenes, and countless people were destined to become sacrifices.
Since it was unavoidable and beneficial to him, Tang Zhen naturally wanted to push the boat along with the current.
With the sound of uniform footsteps, the Army of ghouls advanced quickly and passed through many checkpoints along the way.
Along the way, Tang Zhen had received countless respectful gazes.
The soldiers standing guard at the checkpoint stared at the fully armed corpse Ghost Army with an indescribable shock in their hearts.
The outfit of the Army of ghouls was indeed very special.
The armor covered his entire body, and there was not a single spot that was left out. It weighed at least four to five hundred catties.
Not only was he carrying a zhanmadao, but he also had a large-caliber hand cannon and a bomb for long-range throwing.
He was wearing a primitive and fine armor, but he also carried a powerful flintlock. Although this kind of outfit was strange, it made people feel murderous.
The thought of fighting against such an Army made the soldiers ‘scalps tingle, and they felt that they couldn’t resist it.
Although the Army of ghouls was terrifying, it had also gained countless admirers.
The soldiers were all hoping that this Army that was heading to the battlefield would be able to kill the enemy and make them fall.
Under Tang Zhen’s control, the tireless corpse Ghost Army rushed day and night and finally arrived at the front line on the stipulated date.
It wasn’t that Tang Zhen had accepted the military Order and had to arrive at the battlefield within a time limit. Instead, if he delayed for too long, he would definitely miss the wonderful opening ceremony.
Tang Zhen was destined not to miss such an important war. Moreover, he must participate in it from the beginning to the end.
Not only did Tang Zhen arrive at the front line, but the Queen and her allies also arrived. They were bound to be present at such an important war.
According to the intelligence, the higher-ups of the major churches had also secretly arrived at the front line.
The plan of the church’s higher-ups should be the same as the Queen’s, both wanting to end this war as soon as possible.
If the war continued without a conclusion, no one would be able to bear the losses.
On a certain morning, the horn of war sounded.
The soldiers from the two camps were like a flood that had broken through a dam, gathering on the thousand-mile plain that was the battlefield.
The battle cries shook the sky and could be heard from far away.
“BOOM!”
The two sides collided, setting off a bloody mist that soared into the sky. A tragic battle also began.
At this moment, the battlefield was like a millstone of blood and flesh. As long as one was in it, there was a possibility of being ground to death.
He could only keep killing people and then be killed, losing his life in pain and wailing.
The ground was dyed red, and corpses covered the ground, but the killing never stopped.
The war had just begun, and the two sides were still competing. No one could retreat even half a step.
The commanders of both sides continuously gave out orders to set off, sending troops into the battlefield one after another.
The soldiers on both sides were obviously affected by the mental power, and their eyes were red and excited.
They didn’t see the cruelty of death. Instead, they wanted to release their desire to kill and couldn’t wait to rush to the battlefield.
Swords, guns, chariots, and all kinds of weapons made death even easier.
The cultivators from both sides joined the battle. Some mixed in with the ordinary soldiers, while others fought on their own.
For the sake of faith and benefits, the cultivators were equally crazy, trying their best to kill the enemy.
Although the previous war had been tragic, it had been under control. But with the appearance of cultivators, the situation had become confusing.
At the edge of the battlefield, an Army quietly appeared. It was the corpse Ghost Army led by Tang Zhen.
