Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 339 Drumming to Welcome the Enemy, Heaven-Mending Tribulation Light, Ancient Human Race Powerhouse, Compassionate but Not Commanding an Army

Therefore, Qin Huaiyu greatly admired Di Xiao, who rose from humble beginnings to become a general. Moreover, he had also studied the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the military divine arts created by Di Xiao. Furthermore, the new grain varieties Di Xiao had previously developed had saved countless lives. And Di Xiao's cultivation level was also considerable.

Therefore, from any perspective, Di Xiao deserves his respect.

Di Xiao was already familiar with that admiring gaze, and he smiled slightly at Qin Huaiyu's words: "Since there are still enemy troops, then be prepared. It just so happens that the female warrior legion I brought can be put into the battlefield immediately."

"However, why are most of the demons attacking from the Southern Continent birds? Could it be the Phoenix Clan...?"

Upon arriving at the southern battlefield, Di Xiao's first priority was to understand the situation there and the enemies he would face.

The enemies facing the southern border consist of three main groups. One is the demon race from the Southern Continent, another is the mountain barbarian race from the Southern Continent, and the third is the numerous human nations scattered outside the Nine Provinces.

Beyond Kyushu lie numerous human kingdoms, most of which originated from Kyushu. Lacking the protection of Kyushu, these kingdoms have become a melting pot of various forces. However, some lack the strength to defend themselves and are easily manipulated. This time, several human kingdoms have been coerced into invading Kyushu.

Secondly, there are the Mountain Yue barbarians of the Southern Continent. These are similar to the barbarians of the Western Continent, but the Southern Continent is incredibly hot, with continuous mountains and endless lava. The barbarians there are entirely red or black, and are tall, resembling miniature mountains. Hence, they are called the Mountain Yue barbarians.

There are also many demons in the Southern Continent, but Di Xiao doesn't know much about them. Now that he sees them, they all seem to be birds.

Di Xiao remembered that the bird clan belonged to the phoenix clan, didn't they?

Qin Huaiyu, who had been stationed here for many years, knew very well: "General, this Southern Continent was once the land of the avian race, and the Phoenix Clan, which led the avian race, scattered after its decline. Many of them were absorbed by the ancient Demon Court. After the ancient Demon Court was destroyed, the avian races that had once submitted to the Demon Court returned to the Southern Continent."

"These demons today are descendants of birds who once submitted to the Demon Court. But rest assured, General, among the three clans back then, the Phoenix clan suffered the least losses. Therefore, the elite of the bird clan is still controlled by the Phoenix clan. These will not help the demons, and may even target them."

"It is rumored that the Golden Crow clan, to which Di Jun belongs, once joined the avian clan. After the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, when Di Jun left the avian clan, he took many avian races with him and founded the so-called demon clan. Therefore, to the Phoenix clan, Di Jun and the current demon clan are both traitors."

"I didn't expect there to be such a secret. However, the Phoenix Clan's hostility towards the Demon Clan is irrelevant to our current battle. Prepare for the enemy; they're coming..."

Di Xiao's gaze pierced through the ages, and he could already see countless enemies charging towards him.

The Great Wall on the southern border of the Tang Dynasty.

A vast and powerful enemy force has arrived, including demons, mountain barbarians, and many ordinary humans who have been drawn into the fray.

Ordinary humans, caught in the crossfire, were at the forefront, like cannon fodder. The mountain barbarians were in the middle, clad in armor and weapons forged from various special minerals. The demon race, mostly capable of flight, were at the top. Especially impressive were the swarms of locusts, darkening the sky like a raging storm.

Faced with such a vast and formidable enemy, even Emperor Xiao, who had experienced a great battle, could not help but feel a sense of unease. In fact, compared to the enemy before him, the previous barbarian invasion of Xiniu Hezhou was nothing more than child's play.

Emperor Xiao immediately ordered: "Beat the drums, prepare to engage the enemy..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The thunderous drumbeats resounded across the heavens and earth, and countless human soldiers raised their weapons, their fighting spirit surging: "Kill! Kill! Kill..."

A murderous intent surged, and the fighting spirit shone brightly. Di Xiao raised his hand and waved it, and the battle path he cultivated transformed into a beam of light that reached the heavens. His innate Heaven-Mending Dao Body evolved, and along with the battle path, it connected with countless soldiers.

Then, the Way of War evolves into the Divine Power of Military Strategy: the War Roar that shakes heaven and earth.

Then Emperor Xiao roared, and the hundreds of millions of soldiers behind him roared in response. The sound waves intertwined with battle intent, stirring up an endless storm that swept across everything in sight.

The sky shattered, locusts fell, and humans and barbarians were shattered. In an instant, countless enemies perished.

The pale earth instantly turned blood red, but such a scene was nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the endless enemies.

Di Xiao once again unleashed his military divine abilities, comparing them to the Thirty-Six Stratagems he had previously created. Now, Di Xiao had long since comprehended numerous military strategies and created even more military divine abilities. Besides him, the sages among the human race had also created countless profound military divine abilities. After all, with the divine abilities created by Di Xiao as a guide, many military experts could easily comprehend them.

What about the shifting of stars, what about blotting out the sky, what about sweeping across armies... countless military supernatural powers swept out with the army, annihilating countless enemies.

Even so, many enemies still managed to reach the foot of the Great Wall.

Then they took flight one by one, trying to storm the Great Wall.

Seeing this, Di Xiao picked up a large halberd and roared, "Kill! Don't let a single enemy set foot on the Great Wall!"

With a roar, Di Xiao swung his halberd and killed a demon who had leaped towards him.

The overwhelming power instantly crushed the demon race.

At the same time, countless soldiers stationed at the Great Wall also began a frenzied killing spree.

One by one, the enemies who dared to enter were instantly surrounded and slaughtered. However, there were simply too many enemies, and their overwhelming numbers caused countless human soldiers to fall. But Di Xiao could only turn a blind eye to this, for this was war.

In truth, with a single command from Emperor Xiao, the Great Wall could be activated by a protective array. This array, imprinted on the Great Wall and connected to the Nine Cauldrons, would undoubtedly protect it from countless enemies.

But Di Xiao didn't do that. The reason, of course, was that activating the formation required countless resources. With enemies constantly coming, relying on the formation for protection was not a long-term solution.

Even if Di Xiao did have that many resources, he couldn't possibly use them all. Therefore, Di Xiao would only activate his battle tactics in the most crucial situations.

Secondly, Di Xiao sensed that this war was definitely not something that could be ended in a short time. It was a protracted war that could last for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

For such a long period of time, Di Xiao needs a group of true warriors and generals by his side in order to resist the enemy.

A true warrior is not made through training and cultivation, but through endless battles and warfare.
