1762 The Human-Demon Battlefield, Pingyao City
“Prepare yourselves. In ten days, we’ll rush to the human-demon battlefield.”
With Chu Yunfan’s order, the entire garrison began to prepare.
This news also spread throughout Baotai. Many people were talking about it. There were many people who could understand this matter. Although they didn’t know who was causing trouble for Chu Yunfan, they knew that the third-line troops such as Baotai’s garrison had been transferred to the front line. There was clearly something going on.
If the demons invaded the border, it would have been fine. But now that it was Grand Xia that wanted to mobilize a local garrison troop. This kind of third-tier troops didn’t even have the qualifications to transport military rations in the Grand Xia army.
However, they only dared to discuss it in private and did not dare to speak recklessly. Chu Yunfan had just uprooted all the major forces and slaughtered a Cosmic in front of many people. How could they dare to find trouble with Chu Yunfan?
Ten days passed quickly amid the chaos.
Ten days later, in the cold wind and early spring, the defenders of Baotai embarked on their journey to the human-demon battlefield. After a day and a night of marching, the garrison of Baotai was close to the border of the human-demon battlefield.
As expected, it was completely different from a small border city like Baotai. The cities were far away and stood in the depths of the horizon. This was the place where the entire human-demon battlefield really erupted.
Further west was the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the demon region. There were countless poisonous insects and miasma in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that blocked the advance of the human army. After so many years of sweeping, they had only swept to the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The real demons were in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. That was the paradise of the demons and not a place where humans could live. It was impossible to estimate how many terrifying demons were lurking there.
Chu Yunfan followed the guards of Baotai. From afar, he saw an extremely desolate and ancient aura. The Hundred Thousand Mountains was like a ferocious beast from the primordial era that was lurking. It gave people the illusion that it could pounce on them at any time.
This reminded Chu Yunfan of the records of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in “The World” book written by the Flying Celestials. It was rumored that the Hundred Thousand Mountains had already existed in the distant past. It was even rumored that the Hundred Thousand Mountains had evolved from the body of a demon emperor after his death in the primordial era.
What surprised Chu Yunfan even more was that he found similar records in the memory of the Alchemy Emperor. However, the era of the Alchemy Emperor should be the ancient times, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains seemed to have existed even longer than that ancient time. If that was really the case, then the Hundred Thousand Mountains was truly extraordinary.
Chu Yunfan immediately threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind and flew up. He opened his eyes and could see countless powerful auras traversing the sky from afar. The essence, qi, and spirit of countless demons and humans were too condensed and pierced through the sky like terrifying pillars of qi.
These auras were dense and endless. From afar, they stirred up the wind and clouds on the entire battlefield. Even Chu Yunfan was shocked. He came from the Federation. Although he knew about it long ago, he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of Grand Xia now.
“With such terrifying strength, any random army stationed in it can probably sweep through the entire Federation.”
Even Chu Yunfan had to admit that not to mention these first-line elites, even the guards of Baotai that he led were enough to wipe out the Federation on their own. Though the Federation had nuclear bombs, it would be useless. Hundreds of Golden Cores were simply invincible. Not to mention, there were also Abstracts among them. Even the nuclear bombs of the Federation could not hurt many Abstracts. Unless it was a nuclear bomb with a large yield, it was possible to kill them in one fell swoop before they could react.
However, Chu Yunfan estimated that the nuclear bomb would have lost its effect when it came to Cosmics. It would be difficult for it to pose any threat to these Cosmics.
In the distance, Chu Yunfan saw a huge city standing in the middle of the mountains. It was the headquarters of Grand Xia in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It was Pingyao City. It was a huge city that could accommodate tens of millions of people.
Countless experts were stationed there, and powerful auras covered the sky. Any scouting methods would be useless under the shielding of these auras. Detection methods such as Divine Telekinesis would be vaporized by the powerful blood essence of countless experts the moment they approached.
Other than these martial arts experts, there were also 200,000 soldiers stationed in the city all year round. These 200,000 soldiers did not seem like a lot, but if the weakest among them was an existence above the Abstract Stage, then these 200,000 soldiers would be extremely terrifying. Other than the Imperial Guards, this was one of the most terrifying armies of Grand Xia. Just these 200,000 troops were comparable to an army of millions. Killing ordinary demon troops was as terrifying as chopping melons and vegetables. Abstracts who were regarded as geniuses in the outside world or even pillars of a region were just ordinary soldiers here.
Although he had done a lot of research before coming here, Chu Yunfan still gasped when he saw it. Just this army alone had stopped countless counterattacks from the demons, firmly blocking the demons’ power in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Otherwise, how could Grand Xia’s homeland be peaceful and prosperous?
Even if they were as powerful as the demons, they could only nurture evil sects like the Demon God Sect to infiltrate Grand Xia. They were unable to break through the defenses of Pingyao with their armies.
The location of Pingyao was ideal. It was firmly locked at the exit of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. To reach this place, countless martyrs had sacrificed their lives and blood. Countless casualties had pushed the battle line to this place. It could be considered as isolating the demons’ forces.
Soon, the person who was in charge of scouting, came forward to confirm the identity of the troop. After confirming the identity of Baotai’s troop, although he was a little puzzled as to why a local garrison troop would be mobilized, he quickly returned to the camp to report. Someone came and led Chu Yunfan and the others to the military camp on the battlefield.
