Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 56 Qingqiu Demon Country
There is no reason for the Yaozu to be strong.

Take Qingqiu country as an example.

Qingqiu Kingdom's land area is only a quarter of Dagan, but it has nearly [-] demon troops, which is close to half the size of Dagan's regular army. No wonder it dares to invade every year.

What's even more frightening is that all the people of the Yaozu are soldiers, as long as they are adults, regardless of gender, they are all qualified soldiers.If necessary, they can more than double the number of troops within a month.

More exaggerated than Earth Nomads.

Qingqiu Kingdom's [-] demon army was organized into three major legions, namely the White Fox Legion guarding the royal city, the Green Fox Legion guarding the north, and the Blue Fox Legion guarding the south.

Each legion has three thousand-man teams and one directly under the thousand-man team.

Compared with the human army, the monster army's army structure is much simpler. There are only four levels: Legion, Ten Thousand Team, Thousand Team, and Hundred Team, which are clear at a glance.

This has something to do with the social structure of the Yaozu.

Different from the prefectures and counties implemented by the human race, the Yao Kingdom is still in the tribal era, with the royal city as the center, dotted with countless large and small tribes.

Large tribes have tens of thousands of demon people, while small tribes, especially some ancient subspecies tribes, may have less than a hundred demon people in the entire tribe.

Some even have a single generation, a monster is a tribe.

In addition to the tribes living in the plains, there are tribes in the deep mountains and dense forests, beside the swamps and lakes, in the dead valleys, even on the cliffs, under the ground, and in the secluded sea.

How many tribes are scattered in the territory of Qingqiu Kingdom, I am afraid that even the oldest clerk in the kingdom can't tell. Some tribes only exist in the pile of old papers in the kingdom's archives.

These demon generals and demon generals are not only generals, but also tribal patriarchs.

The current demon army has grown a lot.

It is reported that 500 years ago, the big monsters and little monsters under the command of the demon generals were all the people of the tribe, the snake generals were all snake demons, and the bull generals were all cow demons.

In peacetime, each belongs to the tribe, and in wartime, they form an army.

This resulted in some leaders of large tribes daring to challenge the Golden Tribe. If the kingdom's orders did not suit their needs, they could ignore them.

Like a warlord, own your own troops.

Later, in order to strengthen the centralization of the Golden Clan, and at the same time to more rationally allocate fighters of various clans to form complementary advantages, only then did the mixed legion appear.

It is tantamount to depriving the leader of the patriarch of his absolute power in the army.

Even so, these monster generals still have the right to life and death in the army, and the ranks of the army are strict, compared to humans, and even worse.

If the demon general is not happy, he can kill the big demon under his command at will.

Different from the human race, in the monster race, the lord of a country is not called king, but respected. For example, the lord of Qingqiu is called Hu Zun, also known as Nine-Tailed Fox, and his close ministers can be called "Zun Shang".

The demon king is just a realm.

The Qinghu King who leads the Qinghu Legion can be crowned king, except that the Qinghu King has the blood of the Golden Race, and he is also a strong demon king, equivalent to a human warrior or a monk in the entraining period.

In the current Yu Yutian, this is already the highest-end combat power.

There are three major demon generals under the Qinghu Throne, namely Bull Demon General, Tiger Demon General, and Snake Demon General. Each of them is a high-level demon general.

A high-level demon general, equivalent to the late Wuzong period.

In addition to bordering Dagan, Qingqiu Kingdom is bordered by Zhulong Kingdom to the north, facing the sea to the west and south, and Liusha Kingdom to the southeast. There are troops stationed in every strategic direction.

The two clans of human and monsters are fighting endlessly, and the monster clan is not monolithic either.

In a sense, compared to human beings, monsters are more rebellious, more advocating the law of nature of the weak and the strong, survival of the fittest, and more cruel and intense internal struggles.

As the strongest demon kingdom in the Eastern Continent, the Zhulong Kingdom has always had ambitions towards the Quanrong Kingdom and the Qingqiu Kingdom. The main force of the Qinghu Legion was actually restrained by the Zhulong Kingdom and was deployed on the long northern border.

Otherwise, the pressure of Daqian will be even greater.

The one in charge of fighting Dagan is the tiger demon general among the three demon generals under the Qinghu throne, and there are ten demon generals under his command, each commanding a thousand-man team, and the next one is the big demon commanding a hundred-man team.

This Ten Thousand Demon Army is Dagan's main enemy in the southwest, and the Dagan people call it the Tiger Demon Army.

There are five passes in the Zulong Mountains between Dagan and Qingqiu. Except for the northernmost pass which is located in Xihuang County, the remaining four passes are located in Zhaoyao County.

Apart from Yize Pass, Qingqiu Mansion is Zhennan Pass located in Nanguan County.

Guarding Zhaoyao County is the Second Division of the Imperial Southern Army, which is also the main force against the Tiger Demon Army.

In addition to resisting the demon army, the Second Division of the Southern Army also shouldered the important task of guarding the southwestern border of the empire. After the Quicksand Kingdom became "disobedient", the pressure on the defense in the south increased sharply.

Under the ebb and flow, the troops that can be used to resist the demon army seem a bit stretched.

Like the previous Yize Pass, there was only one battalion stationed there, but it faced the threat of a thousand-man Tiger Demon Army. No wonder there were heavy casualties every year.

Being able to keep the pass in the hands of the demon army is already a remarkable achievement.

This year is different.

In addition to the full city defense battalion, Qianyuan also has a recruit battalion with 700 soldiers in his hands, plus the personal guards. In terms of strength alone, it is no longer inferior to the demon army on the opposite side.

In terms of high-end combat power, Xu Chu, Zhou Qing, and Kuang Dao, the three Wuzong powerhouses, are even more unconvincing.

That's why Qianyuan is confident in this battle.

But as soon as Qianyuan arrived at Yize Pass, Zhou Qing brought bad news, "His Royal Highness, it has been confirmed that there are two thousand-man Yaozu teams stationed at Manniu Pass opposite, the strength of which is the same as in previous years." twice as much."

"How could it be?" Even with Qian Yuan's composure, he couldn't help exclaiming, "What's going on?"

"The specific reason is still unclear. I only know that the increase in troops is not limited to Manniu Pass, but also other passes. If there is no accident, the Yaozu should have dispatched a team of [-] people this time."

Qian Yuan frowned, "Is it the tenth day this year?"

It's funny to say, in the past few hundred years, the wars between the two races of humans and monsters have been very regular, with a big battle every ten years, and small fights in other years.

It is not so much a war as it is a training.

The difference is that the monster race took the initiative to train soldiers, while the human race was forced to accompany them in training.

Human fighters and monks rely on practice to improve their strength, just like climbing a mountain, one step at a time, one step at a time, one view at a time, and finally reach the peak, seeing different beautiful scenery.

The Yaozu also cultivates, but besides cultivation, they also need to evolve.

Whether it is a golden clan or an ordinary monster clan, the babies born are all beasts. If they want to cultivate into a monster, they need at least three evolutions from monster → small monster → big monster.

Every time you evolve, your strength increases.

The most important thing is to evolve from a little monster to a big monster, from walking on all fours to standing on two feet, and getting rid of the beast label is the biggest change and the most difficult step.

In the demon army, the little demons accounted for more than ninety-nine percent, and the big demons were already elite.

In order to speed up the evolution of the little monsters and strengthen the clan, the monster clan tried various methods, but none of them were satisfactory. Later, a war completely changed this situation.

The Yaozu found that letting the little demons experience the battle of blood and fire, and walk on the verge of death, it is easier to stimulate the power of blood in their bodies and complete evolution.

This made the high-level Yaozu ecstatic.

In this way, there is an extremely regular war between the human and monster races every year. The monster race invades the human race, one is to declare force, and more importantly, it promotes the evolution of the little demon.

Therefore, the demon clan doesn't care about casualties at all, as long as enough little demons evolve, they will make money.

As for the ten-year cycle law, it means that the demon clan has accumulated enough big monsters within ten years, and they feel that their strength has greatly increased. They want to launch a big attack on the human race, enter the human race's country, burn, kill and loot.

So again and again.

For thousands of years, in the war between the human and monster races, the human race was at a disadvantage most of the time.

Zhou Qing shook his head: "It's only been three years since the last ten-year period."

The time is obviously wrong.

"This is strange." Qianyuan looked at Zhou Qing, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?" No matter what the reason is, since the demon clan is attacking, they can only fight.
