" Patriarch, the world is divided now, and the Cultivation sects are not united. First, we have to unify the world. Then, we have to build a strong anti-demon army. Only then can we get twice the result with half the effort," Yue Long suggested.
" Yuelong is right." Murong Qiu nodded in agreement.
"How can we make the world one?”Qin Huai asked.
" I'm thinking now, if we have our own army and then unify the world, wouldn't that be faster?" Yue Long said.
Everyone looked at each other.
" If that happens, we'll become the target of public criticism. The Immortal World probably won't agree either," Murong Qiu said awkwardly.
" Old Ancestor, the Immortal World hasn't come to help us yet. We won't have the chance to do so when the demons run amok. Moreover, the dukes from all over the world are fighting against each other, but there's no result. If we want to save the world, we can only rely on ourselves," Yue Long said helplessly.
" I think that's fine," Qin Huai said." I still have a few good brothers in Xichuan who are generals and have countless soldiers under them. If we can get them to come, we'll have an army."
Yue Long's eyes lit up." Brother, I'll have to trouble you with this. You must explain the current situation to them. Wu Guangxian, that old fogey, won't be able to do anything at all. Go and call them over."
Moon Dragon was very happy.
"If we want to build an army, who will lead it?”Murong Qiu asked.
Moon Dragon had already made up his mind. Looking at the child, Moon Dragon smiled. The child was shocked when he saw the Moon Dragon looking at him. Then, he was overjoyed." Uncle Murong, is that true?”
Moon Dragon nodded.
" We'll stay in Xichuan and clean up Xichuan. We'll chase Wu Guangxian away, but we can't claim the title of emperor. We can only be called the Heavenly Dao Army," Yue Long said. This way, they could avoid being attacked by the other dukes because they claimed to be emperors.
" That's fine," Murong Qiu said." Then let's move quickly. We don't have much time left."
Yuelong and the others packed up and rushed to Xichuan.
Xichuan Leijiang City
Yuelong and the other three were in the tent with Guo Shoushan.
"Big brother, is what you said true?”Guo Shoushan asked in surprise.
" Brother, we have no other choice. If the world is not united, we can't fight against the demons. I want to set up another banner for us brothers," Qin Huai said.
" That doesn't seem right. We can't talk to Big Brother, but the soldiers are all following Wu Guangxian. They're afraid of a mutiny," Guo Shoushan said worriedly.
" General Guo, don't worry about that. I need your trusted aides and experts. I need 2,000 people. I don't need the others. Just form an elite army. We'll take care of the rest," Yuelong said with a smile.
"Two thousand people? "It seems too little. Second Brother, Ninth Brother, Sixteenth Brother, and I have a total of 100,000 soldiers. We can pick out 5,000 people. They are all trustworthy people," Guo Shoushan said seriously.
" That's even better. I think Lei Yu Mountain is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. We'll build our camp there," Yue Long suggested.
" Brother, this method is better. It's just a problem with the provisions…" Qin Huai was a little hesitant.
"Big brother, you don't have to worry about this. If you don't remember the Imperial Residence, you can just go and get some in the future.”，Moon Dragon chuckled.
When Qin Huai heard this, he thought, That's right. The entire manor is filled with military pay. Just that fake mountain alone can feed them for ten years.
Guo Shoushan brought them in." Second Brother, Ninth Brother, Sixteenth Brother, and Nineteenth Brother, you're here." Qin Huai stood up to welcome them.
" Hehe, long time no see. When I heard you raise your flag today, I didn't want to work for that bastard Wu Guangxian for a long time. I've finally waited for the chance," said a short and unattractive man.
" Nineteenth Brother, hur hur, that's good." Qin Huai smiled." Let me introduce you. This is my sworn brother Murong Yuelong, Heavenly Mountain Temple's Jade Lady Sword Li Qingmei, and Tong Zi."
Those people had heard Guo Shoushan mention the three of them before. Now that they saw them, especially Li Qingmei, their expressions changed. Then, Qin Huai introduced the others to Yuelong. They were the Second General Nanfeng, the Ninth General Huangpu Yize, the Sixteenth General Yan Qing, and the Nineteenth General Mei Ruohan.
After a few days of preparation, Qin Huai was appointed as the Great General, the Second General Nan Feng, the Ninth General Huangpu Yi Ze, the Sixteenth General Yan Qing, and the Nineteenth General were appointed as the Commanders. They led five thousand men to Mount Lei Yu.
Yuelong, Qin Huai, and the others stole a golden rockery from the Prince's mansion that very night and exchanged it for money and food to distribute to the soldiers.
The Sun Moon Dragon inspected these five thousand people and gave some money to those who were sick, had only children, or had no parents or children to go home. As a result, there were less than four thousand people left.
" Brother, you're doing this for the best." Qin Huai knew what Moon Dragon was trying to do. Not only would it strengthen Moon Dragon's army, but it would also raise the army's prestige and reputation.
A huge flag was erected on Thunderstorm Mountain. On it were written the words 'Heavenly Dao Army' in large golden letters.
Every day, Yue Long would personally tell the soldiers about the military ban. In fact, Yue Long's efforts were in vain. Second General Nanfeng was the strictest in managing the army. Under Nanfeng's guidance, the Exorcist Legion quickly became an elite force.
Moon Dragon found a few people and said," Now, we need a leader. I've confirmed that it's a child, and the position will be called the leader. I wonder if you have any objections?”Moon Dragon asked.
The Second General and the others looked at each other, as if they didn't agree with this idea. How capable were children? Could they lead them? In their hearts, Qin Huai was the one who should take over.
Yue Long looked at them and understood what they meant. He didn't want to force them.
" Brothers, Brother Yuelong has his reasons. This child's abilities are above mine. I hope everyone can agree," Qin Huai said hurriedly when he saw the awkward situation.
Nanfeng and the others nodded in agreement when they heard Qin Huai's words.
" There's one more thing I need to discuss with everyone. Training these four thousand troops alone is not enough. They can't defeat tens of thousands of soldiers. So, I think Big Brother will personally teach them spear techniques. We must cultivate an army that will win every battle," Yuelong said.
After Qin Huai heard this, he nodded." Brother, that's even better. I'll teach him personally."
With that, the child sat on the top seat, while Yuelong and Li Qingmei sat beside him. Qin Huai and the others had already divided their work, and there were no more objections.
Prince Xichuan's Mansion
A person was sitting in the hall with an ashen face. His body was bloated and his eyes were small. He was furious. There were more than a dozen people kneeling below, and three monks stood beside them.
" Good-for-nothing, Guo Shoushan and the others actually betrayed us. Why are you only telling me now?" the person cursed.
" Emperor Wu, Guo Shoushan and the others betrayed us without any warning. They are now raising the flag of the Heavenly Dao Army at Thunderstorm Mountain," someone said in fear.
"The Great General is dead. Sir, I'll have to trouble you to personally lead the troops to exterminate these bandits," Emperor Wu said humbly to Venerable Hua Mei. No matter how capable he was, he did not dare to display his might in front of the three elders of the Sky Dance Sect who were at the Venerable Realm.
" Emperor Wu, I think it's better for the Four Generals and the others to scout out the situation first before making a plan." Venerable Hua Mei was expressionless, but he was somewhat afraid of Murong Yuelong in his heart.
" Fourth General, Eighth General, and Thirteenth General, listen up. Quickly bring 30,000 soldiers to capture Guo Shoushan and the others," Emperor Wu ordered.
" Yes." The three of them accepted the order and left.
" Reporting, Chief, a troop has come down from the mountain. The people leading them are the Four Generals of Wu Guangxian," a soldier reported.
Yuelong and the others were surprised to hear that they had arrived so soon. Moon Dragon looked at the child.
" Alright, I know. Continue to scout and see how many soldiers there are," the child said seriously.
Nanfeng and the others weren't convinced by the child and were waiting to see the child make a fool of himself.
" General Nanfeng, take a thousand soldiers and guard the entrance. Anyone who approaches, shoot them with arrows. General Huangpu and General Yan, each of you take a thousand soldiers and ambush the enemy from the mountain path. When you hear the sound of cannons, charge down and kill them all," the child ordered.
This majesty and aura was like a monarch. It was hard not to be convinced, but this was not enough to convince everyone.
" General Qin, General Guo, Uncle Murong, let's go down the mountain to meet the enemy," the child said.
The three of them rode down the mountain and saw an army already in formation. However, the soldiers were in low spirits. Some of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. It seemed that they had been forcefully recruited.
The leader of the group was riding a horse and wearing full armor." Guo Shoushan, come out and face your death!" That person shouted.
Guo Shoushan rode his horse forward." Fourth General, how have you been? Are you free to come over to my place for tea today?"”Guo Shoushan teased.
" Guo Shoushan, you thief! How dare you allow your master to make you his own! Dismount and surrender! I'll spare your life!" The four generals cursed.
" If you want to catch me, then come at me." Guo Shoushan raised his mace.
The four generals urged their horses to fight with Guo Shoushan. Guo Shoushan was extremely strong and killed the four generals under his horse in a moment. The enemy soldiers were in a commotion.
The eight generals urged their horses forward.
" General Guo, let me do it." The child beat him to it. This was also Yuelong's idea to establish his prestige.
Guo Shoushan retreated.
" Kid, you'd better go back. Don't risk your life," General Eight said mockingly.
" I'm the commander of the Heavenly Dao Army. Hmph, just watch carefully." After the child finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of the Eighth General in a moment. He pulled the Eighth General down from his horse and a few soldiers went over to tie him up.
Guo Shoushan and the others were dumbstruck. It was amazing that he could do it in such a short time.
There was a commotion among the enemy troops. Someone shouted," The general is dead. Run!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of a cannon. Two military horses came down from behind the enemy and blocked their path.
At this moment, Moon Dragon shouted," Wu Guangxian's army, listen up! I don't want to kill you all. For the sake of the lives of the people, for the sake of our peaceful lives, I hope that you won't follow that tyrant, Emperor Wu. If you want to go home, go home. If you want to follow us, you're welcome to join us."
When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other and immediately surrendered. Some of them left, and the Thirteen Generals even broke out of the encirclement and ran away.
In total, they had obtained a total of 20,000 soldiers. It was impossible to keep so many people in Thunderstorm Mountain. In the end, Moon Dragon made a bold decision.
