Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 112 Blood Sea Pagoda

As soon as Lu Ming arrived in the backyard, he saw his wife already waiting for him.

The armor was brought out, and Li Xirou was carefully wiping it.

The maidservant beside them was helping out.

In addition to these, some of his spare clothes were also taken out.

"My lord, everything that needs to be packed has been packed. I don't know if you need anything else. Think about it yourself."

Li Xirou walked over and said.

Although she had a smile on her face, the bloodshot eyes told you that she must have been crying.

After all, every time Lu Ming went to the battlefield...

Li Xirou's heart was practically in her throat.

"That's about right. I'm going to war, not moving house. Taking too much stuff is pointless," Lu Ming said with a smile.

Then, he pulled Li Xirou into the house.

Although it's a mild winter, it's still cold outside.

Wipe the nails with a damp towel.

His wife's soft hands had become icy cold.

"From now on, let the maids do these little things. You don't need to do them yourself."

Lu Ming said with some heartache.

Li Xirou then raised her face, which was red from the cold.

"That won't do. I must clean the armor for my husband's campaign."

Seeing her insistence, Lu Ming said no more.

Afterwards, the two had dinner and then rested.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning.

Before dawn, Lu Ming walked out of the house.

Today, he is wearing armor and carrying the Great Wilderness Halberd.

It seemed to blend into the night.

When they arrived at the training ground.

The usual sounds of drills have disappeared.

It was deserted; the soldiers were all gathered outside the gate.

Looking at his generals and the dark mass of troops, Lu Ming took the warhorse that Wang Yue brought and jumped onto it.

"set off!"

After speaking, he flicked the reins and headed towards the border between Yunzhou and Hongzhou.

The two sides were actually not very far apart.

We set off early in the morning and arrived by evening.

Looking around, they indeed spotted a huge camp in the distance.

You can even see the rising smoke, which looks particularly bright against the backdrop of the fiery sunset.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

He waved his hand and said to Zhang Mu, "Tell the army to set up camp where they are."

"Yes, sir!" the other party replied and then withdrew.

Then, Lu Ming looked at Hu Fei, who was standing to the side, and asked, "How strong is the other side?"

Currently, the generals under Lu Ming's command have all reached the Innate Realm in terms of cultivation, and the Gangyuan Pill is still very effective.

What he gave, plus what these generals earned through their own merits.

They didn't wait three months; they all broke through in just one month.

It is said that Wu Han has even reached the peak of the Innate Realm.

Now, the Mo Dao soldiers and Xiang Liu army have come to reinforce us.

With the support of these two formations and the absence of sea monsters, Wu Han was able to suppress Haizhou.

"My lord, their numbers are around 200,000. With the support of Medicine King Island, they are said to have refined a lot of pills. The number of martial artists who have entered the country has reached over 100,000, and there are also 12 to 15 people at the Innate Realm."

"I'm not sure about those who cultivate Qi, but there are definitely disciples from immortal sects among them. I saw someone fly into the military camp," Hu Fei said hurriedly.

Before the main army set off, he led his light cavalry to scout ahead of time.

We received quite a bit of information.

Lu Ming nodded.

In that case, the opponent's strength is indeed not weak.

However, he also brought 80,000 troops with him this time, and they were all quite strong.

Apart from the elite troops of the Governor's Office, all of them were at the Bone Forging Realm, and some had even begun to break through to the Blood Moving Realm.

If it's just two times the number of enemies, that's not a problem.

Then, their gaze fell upon the Ironclad Cavalry.

His plan was to lead the heavy cavalry in a charge, while the rest of the army advanced from the rear. Once the enemy's formation was broken up, they could be annihilated as quickly as possible.

He cannot afford to waste time; he must take control of the six states as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if the government treasury had a million bushels of grain, it wouldn't be enough to feed the people and graze the horses.

After all, supplying food to the battlefield is a completely different concept from consuming food at home in peacetime.

The required supply is several times that of the latter.

We only have two states now, and we can't afford a protracted war.

Lu Ming nodded. "Pass down the word: after setting up camp, rest immediately. At dawn, the army will launch a raid on the camp!"

"Yes, sir!" The group of generals behind him responded and then withdrew.

Lu Ming looked at the camp ahead and knew that the other side had also discovered him.

But I'm not worried.

The Hongzhou army has been encamped here for some time. If they wanted to attack, they would have already done so. The reason they haven't sent troops yet is because they are not ready.

He wanted to take advantage of this moment to catch the other side off guard.

Then, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Since it's a war, he'll gladly oblige.

This battle also made the world aware of Lu Ming.

Then, they returned to the camp.

Meanwhile, in the opposite camp, the army under King Lingshan's command had obviously also discovered Lu Ming and his group.

King Lingshan sat in his tent, patted the table beside him, and said, "How dare he, the mere governor of Yunzhou, take the initiative to fight us? I wish I could cut off his head right now."

Over the course of several months, the other person's voice became shrill, even somewhat effeminate.

Even the dark circles under her eyes are darker than before, and they are deeply sunken.

The python robe he wore hung loosely on his thin body.

However, his cultivation level seems to be stronger than before, having actually reached the Qi Refining Realm.

The generals below exchanged glances as they looked at the angry King of Lingshan.

One of them stood up and said, “Your Highness, the Immortal Master said that we cannot act rashly before he returns. Should we wait a little longer? I think the troops from Yunzhou are mostly defending against us and will not dare to attack us first.”

We have twice as many men as they do.

Moreover, disciples from Medicine King Island are also stationed in the army.

Upon hearing the words "Immortal Master," the previously somewhat frenzied King of Lingshan gradually calmed down.

“You’re right. Since the immortal master hasn’t come, let’s hold off for now.”

However, be careful not to be ambushed by them.

It seems there's precedent for the Yunzhou army doing this kind of thing.

King Lingshan said with some unease.

"We will be very careful in our defense!"

The general immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute.

If anyone from Zezhou were here, they would recognize him as none other than the scholar who sealed the throat in the Zezhou army back then.

Now, they have even sought refuge with the King of Lingshan.

Moreover, even Hanu was there.

His cold and violent eyes swept over the people in the tent, his thoughts unknown. He was disheveled and looked out of place.

"Yes, sir!" the throat-sealing scholar replied hastily.

Then, at the signal of King Lingshan, everyone withdrew.

Just walked out of the tent.

Hanu then pulled the throat-sealing scholar aside and they arrived at a secluded place.

A solemn expression appeared on his slightly ferocious face.

"Do you think you can stop the Governor of Yunzhou?"

The battle beneath Yunmeng City had already terrified him.

Hanu had witnessed firsthand just how powerful Lord Crocodile was.

But Lu Ming eliminated all such beings.

Currently, the island lord of Medicine King Island in the camp has not yet returned from his trip.

Can he really stop Lu Ming?

He didn't believe it.

After looking around, the scholar with the sealed throat said, "The governor of Yunzhou will definitely attack today. Without the master of Medicine King Island, his disciples alone will not be able to stop him." A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Then why didn't you say that just now? Instead, you comforted King Lingshan, saying they wouldn't attack!" Hanu looked at his companion in astonishment.

“Tell us? How will we leave if we tell you? Let’s leave after midnight tonight with our trusted men. With the King of Lingshan blocking our way, the Yunzhou army will definitely not be able to catch up. This time, let’s go further away and not stay here.”

"Go straight north. I refuse to believe I'll run into this Governor of Yunzhou every time."

"The throat-sealing scholar said fiercely."

Right now, all he wants is to stay away from Lu Ming.

Moreover, there was another important reason why he wanted to leave: he discovered that something was wrong with the island lord of Medicine King Island. Although he didn't know what kind of pills he had given to the Spirit Mountain King, he could tell from the other party's condition.

He is almost unrecognizable from his past self.

He used to have a certain air of authority, but now his whole demeanor is off.

Sometimes he even acts crazy.

How can you possibly go far by following someone like that?

"I'm on night patrol and guarding the gate today, should I remind you?" Hanu hesitated for a moment before asking.

Although he was ruthless, he was also straightforward.

"A reminder? Do you want to leave or not? If you want to live, stop talking nonsense." The throat-sealing scholar said excitedly.

His face flushed a little.

He really wanted to crack open Hanu's head and see what the other man was thinking.

“You’re smarter than me, I’ll listen to you,” Hanu finally said in a muffled voice.

"Then let's go back and prepare. We'll leave at midnight. Remember not to let anyone else know. It concerns our lives, so don't be careless."

"Understood." Hearing the instructions from the throat-sealing scholar.

Hanu said impatiently.

Then he walked toward his own tent.

After glancing at the other person's back for a moment, the throat-sealing scholar also turned and left.

"If it weren't for your abilities, I wouldn't bother taking you along. You don't use your brain; you'll get me killed sooner or later." The Throat-Sealing Scholar cursed under his breath as he walked.

After returning to his tent, he began packing his things.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming was by the campfire, holding a roasted lamb leg and taking big bites of it.

There was also a jar of wine next to him.

The captains under his command formed a circle.

He glanced at everyone and said, "You all do your best. If we succeed this time, everyone will have the opportunity to become a governor."

After hearing the sound.

The officers exchanged glances.

They sensed the ambition in Lu Ming's voice.

After all, the other party is only a governor at the moment.

Now he has promised himself the position of governor.

Their ambitions are already quite obvious.

"We've come through water and gone through fire, we only recognize the Commander!" several captains hurriedly said.

Wang Xun was the first to express his opinion.

His eyes flashed with fire.

It seemed that at any moment, Lu Ming would be draped in an imperial robe.

The other party couldn't help but sigh, "We must be related by blood."

At times like these, there's absolutely no room for ambiguity.

Then, he glanced around and said, "What are you all thinking? What I mean is, after this battle, I might be promoted to a higher rank, and then you, as my subordinates, will naturally be promoted as well."

What nonsense! Some things are better left unsaid; just think about them.

We should just stay within our own territory, but we must also remain loyal to the imperial court.

Lu Ming said with a smile.

He really just wanted to test the loyalty of his subordinates.

Now, I can finally rest easy.

Then, he raised the wine in his hand and said, "Come on, have a bowl."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

The firelight shone on his face.

Everyone knew that the governor in front of them, though seemingly young, now held the power of life and death over countless people.

As long as you follow the other party, things will definitely not be bad in the future.

The evening passed quickly while we were drinking.

Before we knew it, it was dawn.

Night had fallen, and this was the time when people were most sleepy.

Lu Ming sat on his warhorse.

Behind him stood the pitch-black Ironclad Pagoda.

Further behind were the troops that had been brought out this time.

"Hu Fei, take charge of shooting down any fleeing enemies outside the camp. The rest of you, follow my lead and charge the camp!"

After Lu Ming issued the order.

"Clop clop!" The warhorse had already galloped off.

A thousand heavy cavalry followed closely behind.

As they approached the camp, they discovered something that made Lu Ming frown.

Because, after rushing all the way, they had not found any scouts under the command of King Lingshan.

Looking from afar, there were very few people even at the gate, scattered about, and the commander was nowhere to be seen.

They were all dozing off.

This scene made him wary.

"Could it be that the other side guessed my intentions and deliberately went into a defensive posture to ambush me in the camp?"

Lu Ming thought to himself.

However, he couldn't care less about anything else now; the die was cast.

There's no turning back now.

When I thought of this...

He immediately roared, "Blood Sea Floating Pagoda Formation!"

Even if there were thousands of troops lying in ambush inside, the formation would still provide protection.

Lu Ming believed that no one could stop him.

This is the principle behind "one force can overcome ten techniques".

As his voice rang out.

The Iron Pagoda's direction of movement changed at this moment.

Faintly, all the warhorses seemed to be connected by an unseen aura.

Then, it was as if they had become one.

From a distance, their perimeter was covered by a layer of transparent, mysterious light, resembling waves.

The charging cavalry transformed into a true torrent at this moment.

It charged forward.

The loud clatter of hooves finally woke up the rebel soldiers sleeping in the watchtower.

He looked outside.

His pupils involuntarily dilated.

In the pitch-black night, a faint white mist floated on the ground.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

A black wave crashed through the thin mist and hurtled toward him, drawing ever closer.

What was originally a single line has transformed into towering waves.

"Enemy attack!"

A soldier on the watchtower cried out in a mournful voice.

It completely pierced the quiet night.

"Boom!"

But the next moment, the cavalry had already charged into the camp.

The barricades, the gate, and the arrow tower were instantly smashed, sending splinters flying everywhere.

The few rebels who tried to stop them were directly drawn into the fray.

At that moment, the pitch-black giant wave changed.

There were specks of blood floating above.

The malevolent energy was tangled together.

It's getting brighter and brighter.
