Chapter 44 Heavenly Thunder(1/2)
The army led by General Long gathered the reinforcements quickly chased from the rear at the normal marching speed, and a total of 450,000 troops marched towards the center of the huge rock wilderness. The 150,000 troops from Yamei and Delin acted as the leading sentinel. In the rear of the army, the 200,000 elite cavalry of the Green Empire escorted a large number of food and grass, husband and servants and others followed behind.
The seven-way army, with a size of similar people, arrived at the center of the boulder wilderness almost at the same time. The camps of hundreds of miles were rolling and horns and drums shocked the world. The seven-way army surrounded and annihilated a small group of troops that were engaged in harassing and raiding on the road. If they had a close connection with the rear headquarters, the Black Cloud Empire should have known that the Celestial Empire had begun a large-scale attack.
On one side, the banner with a colorful dragon was painted on it to indicate the location of the Central Army's tent. It was here that Yang Tian met Marshal Wen Yuanwen for the first time, the commander of the more than three million troops, the commander of more than five hundred thousand soldiers, and the commander of the Celestial Empire in the Western Continent.
At this time, Wen Yuan was nearly forty years old, and was the youngest and strongest time on Liuhua Continent. He slightly accumulated three wisps of willow beards, a silver-white face, an oval face, and his eyebrows flew into his temples, looking like a teacher better than a marshal. In fact, Wen Yuan also relied on Wen Tao to ascend to the position of marshal. His martial arts skills can only be said to be good, and he is far from being outstanding.
But it was such an extremely graceful marshal. When he really appeared in front of Yang Tian, Wen Yuan's almost kingly demeanor suppressed Yang Tian's heart for a moment. Yang Tian was wary of a person for the first time, but Wen Yuan's momentum firmly tolerated him, leaving him without any other brains at all. Even when facing Long Feng, Yang Tian felt that Long Feng was strange and unfathomable. No one had ever given him the feeling similar to Wen Yuan.
For Long Feng, his feelings were almost nothing. In his opinion, Wen Yuan was nothing more than a general with a slightly flexible head in an era of cold weapons. In comparison, a major with a slightly good record in the earth society gave Long Feng a much deeper impression.
Seeing Yang Tian's a little lost in spirit, Long Feng smiled and bowed slightly to Wen Yuan, pinching a muscle on Yang Tian's back. A trace of cold energy instantly swam throughout Yang Tian's body.
Yang Tian was shocked, his eyes flashed, and he clasped his fists at Wen Yuan and said, "Marantor Wen, I have been looking back for a long time."
Wen Yuan quickly stood up from his commander's case and returned the favor to Yang Tian, saying, "I dare not, I dare not. Thank you for your hard work. Your Highness has made contributions to the Heavenly Kingdom this time, so I will naturally report to the court impartially and reward it."
The true energy flowed in Yang Tian's body, and his mind was not affected by Wen Yuan at all. He smiled indifferently and said, "This, I'm exempted, I'm exempted. I'll follow him this time, mainly because I'm seeing what the so-called war looks like, and I don't care about making meritorious things." There was a look of indifference on his face, but his eyes revealed an extremely greedy look, as if he was telling Wen Yuan: "Okay, okay, the greater the credit you declared to me, the better, the more rewards you get..."
Wen Yuan frowned, shook his head slightly, and spoke to Yang Tian out of politeness, and ordered: "Now, everyone can discuss the details of this dispatch. You can express your opinions if you have any."
Yang Tian and Long Feng immediately walked out of the Central Army tent by the excuse they were not generals of the Celestial Empire.
Their actions were very tactful. After they left, there was no time for a cup of tea. All the generals of the Western continental vassal states were bombed out, leaving only a few special identities, such as emperors and princes, discussing matters in the central army tent. To put it bluntly: You fight hard in the war, and as for how you fight hard, you must listen to us.
Long Feng smiled and said to Yang Tian: "How is it? Did you see it for the first time? The momentum is not about how amazing your murderous aura is. How many people can scare to death is truly strong. People like Wen Yuan can make you feel how cute and cute he is. They can't help but have a good impression of him, which is also a kind of momentum. However, the way of expression is different from murderous aura."
Yang Tian nodded and said seriously: "Great and clever, this is the real momentum that people who are kings and emperors should have. People who are full of murderous auras can at most act as a general or a king in troubled times. A true king, a soldier who defeats others without fighting is the real powerful means."
Long Feng Xie smiled: "But, don't worry about anything. The king's wind is cultivated after all. If you give me time, a street gangster can cultivate the virtues of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. Do you believe it? Therefore, when you really compete for the world, it is better to kill more people with murderous aura and bloody hands. When you truly become the emperor, you will be a little sweet-mouthed and bribed people's hearts. The people promise that you are the best emperor in the world."
Yang Tian raised his eyebrows: "Are they that stupid, are they?"
Long Feng shrugged and sighed, "Where are so many smart people in the world? Aren't they all a group of idiots who can only see the benefits in front of them? Give them a little honey and they will treat you as their ancestors. Even if you kill his old man and rape his mother, he will forget it completely."
Yang Tian nodded: "So, so..."
Long Feng looked back at the colorful dragon flag and said, "So, no matter what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality, you will become the king of this ragged world first, and then slowly say something else. Otherwise, hum. Unfortunately, Wen Yuan will definitely not be used by you... Among the people in the Heavenly Dynasty, this kind of person is the most stubborn, so..."
Yang Tian gently stroked the hilt of his sword and nodded silently.

Hundreds of horses ran out of the central army's tent. The soldiers with serious expressions pursed their lips tightly, crawled on the horse's back, and rode their horses toward the commanders of each camp.
Wen Yuan had ordered that all the troops be divided into three teams on the left, center and right, and pressed to the south in parallel, requiring that all the people, horses, food and grass pass through the huge rock wilderness within four days.
The military orders fell like a mountain. With millions of people roaring, the dense tents disappeared in an instant. They were packed into the baggage truck as fast as possible. The crowd formed three arrows and slowly drove out of the camp. Countless vultures rushed down frantically after the army drove away, competing for a little bit of what might be used to fill their stomachs. The army was stationed here for two days. Almost all the large animals that could exist within a radius of hundreds of miles were killed, and their eyes were red with hunger.
Three giant python-like queues swarmed towards the direction of the "Fire Cloud" city, and more than one million cavalry legions ran back and forth in three directions, clearing the small frontier fortress of the Black Cloud Empire that could cause obstacles on the road.
Yang Tian and the others, who followed Wen Yuan's central army, saw hundreds of cavalry passing messages, sweating their heads shooting arrows at the targets on the central army's flag. After leaving the latest information, they quickly chased their own brigade. From the messages secretly conveyed by the soldiers, they could know that the army ahead raided forty-seven small military bases of the Black Cloud Empire, massacred 190,000 prisoners, and had approached the southern plains.
Yang Tian rode on his mount, staring blankly as the blood-red arrows passed over his head one by one, hitting the target on the central army's recognition flag. Then, figures jumped up and pulled out the arrows, passing the attached news to the generals of the central army, murmured and asked unconsciously: "What if there was an arrow that did not hit the target?"
The few people around him looked at the cavalry who had opened their divine arm bow and shot out sharp arrows two hundred feet away, and shook their heads gently.
Long Feng pondered for a moment, turned his horse's head, rushed towards the central army, and directly asked a military commander: "What if those communication soldiers failed to hit the target?"
The military commander's concise answer made the soldiers in the surrounding Western continents stick out their tongues: "Hard military planes, die."
Looking at the subtle red shadows that penetrated the target with a sharp roar, Yang Tian shook his head and said a little deliberately: "No wonder, the Celestial Army can sweep across the Western Continent. With a similar number of people, the so-called most powerful army in the Western Continent I have seen cannot find an archer with such archery skills."
Yang Tian's words made more than 20 nobles from various countries nearby roll their eyes, but they couldn't find any rebuttals. The Saint-Dor soldiers were slightly weak, and they were besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops led by Yang Wei and surrendered directly. Compared with these big countries with hundreds of thousands of troops, they really couldn't find any words to fight back.
Long Feng pulled Yang Tian's horse reins, and the two left the brigade and left the edge of the team for about a mile before slowly driving the horse in the direction of progress.
Yang Tian sighed: "I heard that sixteen years ago, the war between thousands of people in the Western continent was considered large. It was not until the Celestial Empire that it gradually began to increase its population and form a large army. However, after all, no country can have the experience of commanding large armies to fight. Not to mention sixteen years, even if the Western continent is given 160 years, it will not be able to form any combat power... If they want to confront the Celestial Empire, the only result is to be killed all of them."
Long Feng said lightly: "Don't sigh at anything. Experience has been accumulated slowly... I can teach you what you lack. Although I have never tried to command millions of people to fight with cold weapons, I have had the experience of commanding hundreds of millions of people to fight with each other after all, and I can give you all the knowledge you need."
Yang Tian did not react, but there were already storms in his heart: "Cold weapons? So are there hot weapons? A war of hundreds of millions of people... Oh my God." Yang Tian's increasingly gloomy heart made Yang Tian accept what Long Feng said without changing his expression.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire in the brigade started shouting wildly, and the shouts of "Long Live" were earth-shaking. Yang Tian and Long Feng hurriedly drove their horses back to the brigade, only seeing a duke from the Green Empire, all soldiers from various countries in the Western continent were tense tightly with no faces on their faces.
Thousands of soldiers with loud voices of the Celestial Empire drove their horses back and forth across the brigade: "The commander of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army' personally killed the prince of the Heiyun Empire under the horse..."
The sound of 'Long Live' became even louder. The soldiers of the Celestial Empire drew out their heavy swords, lifted up their shields, and slashed wildly while walking. The speed of the entire queue was driven by them. Only the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, who were far and near, shouted wildly: "Damn it, the credit cannot be monopolized by the 'Tiger and Wolf Army', and I will also cut them all over the house."
"Brother, they killed a prince, so we will kill their emperor..."
"Haha, I want to hug their queen and see if she is beautiful..."
“Hahahahahahahahahaha…”
The soldiers from Western countries all looked at the soldiers of the Celestial Kingdom who were gradually showing their beastly nature, and they did not dare to say a word and ran faster.
Yang Tian frowned tightly, and the shocking spiritual fluctuations spread to Long Feng and Fense: "You think, may I have such an army? May I have such an anxious warrior to fight bloody battles? May I have such a united and unyielding people to their own nation? Tell me, how can I conquer this nation? What should I do? I can't, I can kill their soldiers, but I will never have an army that dares to fight against them. In this world, no one can defeat them... Long Feng, my god, I can't do it, I can't succeed."
Seeing Yang Tian fall into confusion in his thinking due to excessive shock, the murderous intent and roaring sounds around him deepened this impact. If it is not corrected, Yang Tian would not have the courage to go to the battlefield in the future. Long Feng was filled with the strange force of the "Xuanyuan Dragon Art" and the "Demonic Aura" and hit Yang Tian hard on the back with a punch.
As soon as the powerful energy flow entered Yang Tian's body, it quickly dissipated into countless thin streams, forcibly soothe Yang Tian's scattered true qi, and the "dragon energy" protected his heart veins. The "demon energy" unceremoniously dispersed all the energy groups that were silted in the meridians and kept shaking, making Yang Tian wake up instantly.
Fense murmured: "The army...hey, in fact, it's not necessary to have an army, and you can live a good life." But she was so smart that she didn't let Long Feng hear this, and Yang Tian, who was still a little confused, didn't notice what she said at all.
Long Feng said in a deep voice: "No one teaches you to conquer him. I just want you to own him and then use him to conquer the world." Long Feng smiled bitterly. He could destroy the Celestial Empire, but even he could not conquer the Celestial Empire. Unless it was a monster of Yang Wei's level, he could use violence to change everyone's thoughts. But in this way, it was just annihilation, not a conquest...
Long Feng's words hit Yang Tian's heart heavily. Yang Tian was excited and nodded and said, "I understand, thank you."
Looking at these passionate soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, Yang Tian thought: "Indeed, I can't conquer you, but I can apply you. Since my father can become your military god, then I can, so why not?" He grabbed the hilt of his sword tightly with his left hand, and suddenly a strong murderous aura burst out from Yang Tian's body, and mixed into the endless murderous intent of the entire queue.
Long Feng shook his head gently. After all, he was still a little younger and couldn't control himself. He looked around cautiously, but fortunately no one noticed that Yang Tian was now, Long Feng put down his snacks a little.
The Celestial Infantry Army, which was in a state of madness, had no rest at all. After trekking for two days and two nights, they joined the cavalry brigade in front of them without having to camp. They just like a group of bloodthirsty wolf launch a bloody battle to attack the "Tianyun" fort in front of them.
The boundless army of the Celestial Empire densely surrounded the fortress with 200,000 Black Cloud Empire troops. As long as we conquer this place, we will be infinity with the endless plains to the south. The unlucky prince of the Black Cloud Empire, who was killed by General Long, came to the front line for some reason. After being slightly scolded by General Long, he rushed out to engage in the so-called fair duel, but was cut into two pieces by a knife and a horse.
Long Feng and the three of them found a small landbag that was no one nearby, and rushed to the horse to watch the army siege in the distance. Yang Tian and Gnu's muscles were shaking with excitement. They held the horse's mane tightly with their ten fingers, and their finger joints turned white.
Long Feng ignored Yang Tian, but leaned close to Gnu's ear and whispered in the voice of the demon trying to tempt people to sell his soul: "Are you excited? My dear Barbarians' most powerful nine-toothed warrior."
Gnu sat on the horse stiffly, the nine-toothed warrior of the barbarian race, that is, the invincible warrior who can use the teeth of the nine most powerful saber-toothed tigers as symbols... Gnu has forgotten his race and his reputation, but in his heart, he still has a little bit of that invincible spiritual existence.
As if a beast slowly woke up from the sleep, Gnu's neck made a 'giggle' sound of joint friction, and he twisted stiffly, looked at Long Feng with a fierce look, and said word by word: "Please don't insult this title... Now I am just a disabled person who wants to survive... not the most powerful warrior of the barbarians."
Long Feng whistled frivolously and said with a smile: "Oh, so, the barbarians are dead. Then, there is no need to take into account their reputation. These dirty and ugly races will die, but they will die... What a shitty warrior, just a disabled person."
Countless arrows broke through the air above their heads and slashed towards the "Tianyun" Fortress. Thousands of soldiers from the Black Cloud Empire screamed and fell down with arrows all over their bodies.
Gnu, whose eyes were bloodshot and red, clenched his left hand tightly into a fist. The fist, which was almost as big as Long Feng's head, made a "crack" sound of joints. Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded, hitting Long Feng's face hard and slowly retracted it.
Long Feng's body did not move at all, but the horse under his seat completely endured this powerful force, and with a wry neigh, he collapsed on the ground. Long Feng stood steadily on the horse with broken joints and said with a cold face: "Good kung fu, but unfortunately, if you die, the so-called most powerful barbarians in the Western continent will be truly obliterated... The glory of the past, the blood of the ancestors, the pride of the warriors, and the majestic drum sounds will never appear... Even people in the future will never know that there were barbarians in the world."
Gnu's upper body's clothes were completely destroyed by his simple but powerful fighting spirit. The horse under his seat moved a few uneasy. The blood vessels inside Gnu's muscles seemed to appear one by one, and his red eyes stared at the sky tightly, roaring: "Ancestral Spirit...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Long Feng said lightly: "If you can swear to truly be loyal to His Highness Yang Tian and conquer the world as his general, if he can really become the king of this world, the pride of you and your race will spread between this world for millions of years until the king's glory disappears... Compared to your current life, my dear warrior, tell me, what did you choose?"
Gnu's hideous face suddenly turned to Yang Tian, and then quickly twisted over and stared at Long Feng, making Yang Tian, who had already started to appreciate this scene, couldn't help but feel sweaty.
Gnu said dryly, "I only have one hand that is not very useful now, I... only half of the strength I used to..."
Long Feng raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, I will restore your most complete and most combat-powered body." Seeing Gnu and Yang Tian's suspicious eyes, Long Feng smiled: "Don't forget that I am a magician who basically has a little magic. It is not very difficult for people to regenerate their arms... By the way, Gnu, if you can fully fulfill your promise, I can consider using my magic and performing the resurrection technique... Although, it may not be possible to resurrect more than 400,000 people, and tens of thousands of people are still possible..."
Long Feng's last words seemed to hit Gnu. Gnu made a terrible sound of muscles and bones rubbing all over his body. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Long Feng tightly. Long Feng nodded and said seriously: "This time, I swear with the most beautiful and sacred thing in my heart, I will never break my promise."
Gnu gasped, stared at Yang Tian suddenly, his mouth cracked, and said in a low voice: "My Your Highness, I will leave my life to you..."
Yang Tian nodded with a smile, jumped off his horse, stood on Long Feng's poor horse that exhaled his last breath, and watched the Tianchao army attacking the "Tianyun" fort like a tiger, and said with a nod, "The combat power is too strong. If it weren't for this city wall, all the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire would have been killed long ago."
Long Feng said softly: "Do you only see these things?"
Yang Tian suddenly turned his head and said seriously: "I remember... If you want to touch a person's heart, you have to use his most precious things, right?"
Long Feng nodded gently and said softly: "Is that all?"
Yang Tian smiled, as if a wise man who had seen through all things in the world, said lightly: "Then, you have to tell me that everyone, even a remaining person who is inferior to a dog, or a person who is scheming and scheming, seems to have never had the truth, and there are things in his heart that he will not really betray, right?"
Long Feng nodded slowly.
Yang Tian asked, "So, what is the thing you use to swear?"
Long Feng said lightly: "It will definitely not be the soul of my ancestors. He is now in the carnival of joy in the demon world. He is destined to go to hell, and he has already gone to hell. I don't have to care about his feelings, right?"
Yang Tian asked him relentlessly: "What is it?"
Long Feng glanced at him, pondered for a long time, and said seriously: "My motherland... and those I really like, those I want to maintain, those who want to use everything I have to maintain..."
Yang Tian was a little confused, looked at Long Feng gently, and asked him softly, "So, will you swear with these things and will never betray me?"
Long Feng looked at Yang Tian, showing the natural and ethereal smile that Buddha only showed when he picked up flowers, and said sincerely: "Yes, I swear... because..."
Yang Tian turned his head, showed a truly happy smile, and said calmly: "I don't need a reason. I just need to know that you will really serve me... I just don't know what Marshal Wen Yuanwen is doing here. Could it be that he also wants to be loyal to me?" The last sentence has turned into Yang Tianping's naughty look, in an injustice tone.
Long Feng's face, full of soft and brilliance, could not see any forced change at all. He naturally put on a humble and humble smile. Hey hey, and hey hey, hey, hey, hey, this is the war, you are still here, do you have any military affairs to explain to us? We will definitely go through fire and water to serve the Celestial Empire..."
The instant change between Yang Tian and Long Feng made it clear that the gods of Fense had a sudden cold war in his heart, and had begun to place the entire human beings into the ranks of the most dangerous creatures in the universe. In Fense's impression, high-level creatures, good is good, evil is evil. This was the first time she had seen this race that worships light and darkness at the same time, mixed with loyalty and betrayal, and her thoughts were filled with sincerity and hypocrisy...
Wen Yuan shivered unconsciously. Long Feng's body shape, movements and voice tone made him feel as if a large piece of frozen in his heart. He soaked fat pork with boiling water. Wen Yuan smiled slightly and blamed himself for his decision to come over to visit Yang Tian, but he still said to Long Feng gently: "This..." A military officer next to him whispered to him: "Long Feng, Master Long."
Wen Yuan laughed: "Master Long, I am here to visit His Highness the Prince."
Yang Tian also came up and said with a smile: "Master Wen, I really don't dare to be this. I just watched the heroic troops of the Celestial Dynasty attack the 'Tianyun' Fortress. I was really tragic. I didn't see the Master coming. I'm so sorry."
Wen Yuan laughed, took Yang Tian's hand, walked to Fense and Gnu, stared at the army ahead, nodded and said, "It's really a delusion to dare to delay our army's journey in a small place."
To be continued...
