I really became a king.

Chapter 357: Demonic Domain Pass
The more than 3,000 Chiye soldiers who had closed their eyes and waited for death all knelt silently on the ground after hearing Jiang Yi's words.

The vassal army cut through mountains when they encountered them, built bridges over rivers, and charged forward when they encountered the enemy... To put it more clearly, they were cannon fodder!

But they were willing to do it, and many of them even knelt on the ground and twitched their shoulders gently. Especially Jiang Yi's words, "After all, it was the Dali royal family who broke the oath first", made them feel sad.

The Dali Army is unique to the Western Frontier Demon Realm Pass. It exists because of the Dali royal family's ancestral precept of "the royal family guards the national border". It was once a symbol of glory and had a high status.

However, ever since the Dali royal family abandoned their promise of "the royal family guarding the country's borders", the status of these military personnel has plummeted and become as lowly as slaves.

Because in the final analysis, their glory relies on the Dali royal family who are permanently stationed in the western border. Without the Dali royal family here, they will lose their greatest backing.

Everyone in the world knows that the Dali royal family has betrayed the oath of their ancestors, but no one dared to say this. Now, this sentence was said by Jiang Yi without any concealment.

Just these words are enough. The countless generations of waiting by their ancestors... are all worth it!

"We are willing! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The middle-aged general lowered his head and replied, then he bowed his whole body deeply to the ground. The more than 3,000 Akano soldiers behind him followed suit, bowing their upper bodies deeply to the ground.

Jiang Yi held the reins in his hand, looked up into the depths of the underground canyon, and said, "The rest of those who escape from the battle will be killed!"

His tone was calm, and after saying this, he turned around and walked towards the valley entrance.

Although the underground canyon was nicer than the dusty and windy outside, he didn't like it at all. He always felt it was too depressing and a little suffocating.

As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, thousands of Blood Robe Guards dressed in scarlet battle uniforms rushed towards the depths of the underground canyon. This dark environment with complex terrain was most suitable for hunters like them who roamed in the dark.

The Demon Realm Mountains stretch over tens of thousands of kilometers from north to south. The mountains are steep and thousands of feet high. The top of the mountain is covered with thick snow all year round. Life is extinct and it is impossible to cross. It is a natural barrier to the western border of the Dali Dynasty.

But it is strange that the top of Demon Realm Mountain is covered with snow, but there is no drinkable water. This has been an unsolved mystery since ancient times.

The Demon Realm Pass is located in the center of the entire mountain range. It is built on a natural canyon, cutting the entire Demon Realm mountain range in half. The city walls are thick and towering into the clouds. It is truly a one-man-guardian pass that ten thousand cannot break through.

At this time, the entire Demon Realm Pass was filled with wind and sand again, and the visibility had dropped from hundreds of meters at noon to one or two hundred meters.

A cavalry of several thousand men was galloping in the wind and sand, heading towards the Demon Realm Pass.

After a while, the tall walls of Demon Realm Pass became faintly visible, and thousands of cavalrymen stopped.

A hundred meters away from this cavalry, there was a transport team of more than a thousand people, slowly moving towards the Demon Realm Pass. They were transporting drinking water from the Dali Imperial Capital.

In addition to this transport unit, there are dozens of transport teams exactly like them in this arid land spanning thousands of kilometers, running on thousands of miles of transport lines year after year and day after day.

"My Lord, do you want to get rid of them?"

A hundred meters behind thousands of cavalrymen, Jiang Yi stood holding the reins, silently watching the transport team slowly moving forward. Ding Ren beside him asked for instructions in a low voice.

Jiang Yi shook his head, thinking about the transport teams on the opposite side, who had been traveling in the barren land all year round. Their status and position were only slightly better than those of the military border residents, and they also came from poor backgrounds.

"Your Highness, can they do it? For safety reasons, why don't we just storm the Demon Realm Pass!" Lin Yizi, who was standing beside him, looked at the thousands of cavalrymen in front of him with worried eyes, always feeling a little uneasy.

"The loss is too great, we can't afford it." Jiang Yi disagreed. Lin Yizhi didn't say anything else. They had deduced countless times how to quickly and secretly take down the Demon Realm Pass before finally confirming this plan.

With the vassal army composed of the Akano Army as the vanguard, they falsely opened the gate of the Demon Realm Pass, and tens of thousands of cavalry followed closely and rushed into the pass, capturing the world's number one pass in one fell swoop.

However, this plan is extremely dangerous. After all, Jiang Yi only has 70,000 to 80,000 people, while the entire Demon Realm Pass has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. This will be a fierce battle.

But after much deduction, this plan has the highest success rate.

Moreover, compared to the Demon Realm Pass, Jiang Yi's side has an absolute advantage in high-end combat power, including Fulong and his two old friends, Zhang Zhiyuan from the Martial Hall and other martial arts sect masters, as well as Lin Yizi, Tian Buyi and other Sun and Moon Department leaders, plus Dong Chengyang and dozens of other scholars who have just awakened to the Great Dao of Literature.

As long as the beheading can be completed in a swift and rapid manner, with Jiang Yi's royal status and the Dali King flag beside him, he will be able to control the situation quickly.

But I'm afraid there will be some price to pay. But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. We must take down the Demon Realm Pass and gain a firm foothold in one fell swoop before the Dali Imperial Capital reacts.

Otherwise, this vast continent would make it impossible for Jiang Yi to find a place to stand.

"Alas, it's a pity that these transport teams can't enter the Demon Realm Pass, otherwise the success rate of disguising themselves as transport teams would be much greater..." Ning Wu Ze said regretfully. For some reason, these logistics troops transporting water can only complete the handover of water outside the Demon Realm Pass and cannot get close to the Demon Realm Pass at all.

Jiang Yi had also thought about tampering with these drinking water sources, and then easily destroy those empty city gates in the Demon Realm.

Unfortunately, the ancestors of Dali had already taken this into consideration. The containers for transporting water were refined through special means, and they were in a seamless state before being opened. Once they were opened halfway, they would easily be discovered by the defenders of the Demon Realm Pass, and would not succeed at all.

Jiang Yi even thought about directly cutting off the drinking water source of Demon Realm Pass, but it wouldn't last long. The Dali Imperial Capital would surely react within a few days, and then they would also be in the dilemma of being cut off from water supply.

Therefore, the only way is to quickly take over the Demon Realm Pass with lightning speed.

As long as he can take over the Demon Realm Pass, Jiang Yi will have a foothold. As for the problem of drinking water source after taking over the Demon Realm Pass, Jiang Yi already has a solution.

He looked down at the palm of his right hand, where a mini mountain was slowly floating. Then Jiang Yiyou looked up at the vaguely visible Demon Realm Pass, shook his head slightly, and slowly closed his palm.

This mini mountain can indeed break open the Demon Realm Pass, but it will also destroy the entire pass's protective formation. Without the protective formation, it would be difficult to withstand the attacks of foreign races on the border relying solely on the dangerous terrain.

Lin Yizi, Tian Buyi and other arrogant and brave generals beside him looked at Jiang Yi's palm with horror and disbelief.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yi looked at the thousands of Chiye soldiers in front of him and said, "Let's start the action!"

"Yes!" A figure beside him responded.

Jiang Yi didn't look at this figure, but continued to speak: "Remember, as long as you can successfully trick your way into the Demon Realm, I will give you another number!"

The figure was shocked when he heard that. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

Jiang Yi seemed to sense what the other party wanted to ask, and turned around and smiled, "What do you think of the designation 'Servant Vanguard Battalion'?"

The figure had an excited look on his face. Although he was still called a servant, the three words "vanguard camp" represented the highest honor in any army.

Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!
This is the "Pioneer Camp"!
