Chapter 397 Prelude to War
"This is a simple matter. Give them the entire kindergarten to play in, and let some kind-hearted girls serve as kindergarten teachers to take care of them." Shang Liangshan slightly modified the kindergarten model of his previous life and told the old patriarch about it.
"This is a bit like an elementary school." The old patriarch murmured.
Shang Liangshan shook his head and said, "They are different. Primary school is for learning, while kindergarten is for playing and having fun."
He didn't want to inflict the suffering of his child in his previous life on the child in this life. That would be too inhumane.
"Yes." The old patriarch nodded, then frowned and said, "But there is no place to build a kindergarten in the village."
"Let's make use of the foot of the mountain outside the village wall. This way, the patrol guards can also keep watch."
"Be careful, and ask the neighbors to help look after the kids." When the old patriarch said this, he chuckled for no apparent reason.
The neighbors he mentioned were naturally the people from Xuanxu Sect.
This market was undoubtedly hurried and thoughtful.
The next afternoon, the market came to an end and the caravan left in a hurry.
The Forgotten Village also began to prepare for war. The old patriarch mobilized the wolf riders and Shang Liangshan mobilized the spirit guards.
The night was as dark as ink, the stars were hidden, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a faint light.
Among the mountains and forests, the outlines of the trees were distorted in the moonlight, like ancient guardians, quietly watching the scene that was about to unfold.
The wind, bringing with it a chill, blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, as if whispering unknown secrets.
In a dark forest, ten thousand spirit guards, like the embodiment of night, stood silently in the forest.
Their breathing was almost synchronized with the rhythm of the forest, and every movement revealed the discipline and tacit understanding that came from rigorous training.
The Lingwei Army is led by Dark Spirit and participates in this coalition operation.
Zi Ling led other spirit guards to garrison in Forgotten Town and major temples.
The retreat must be secure; this is the consensus between Shang Liangshan and the old patriarch.
For this reason, Shang Liangshan recalled the Silver Moon Blade, which turned into a hazy crescent moon to guard the Forgotten Village, creating a strange sight of two crescent moons in the sky.
In the mountains and forests, the Lingwei Army deployed in a goose-shaped formation, presenting a fighting posture as still as a mountain.
The goose formation consists of four columns, and the first two columns are shield and spear soldiers.
Their dark purple shields are thick and solid, with complex runes engraved on the surface, which can absorb and disperse impact.
The spears were their sharp weapons. The tips of the spears flashed with cold light and could easily pierce through the enemy's defenses even in the deepest darkness.
Their eyes were firm, every breath was filled with determination, and they were ready to launch a charge.
After hundreds of battles with ghost beasts, the combination of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen failed to effectively exert their true killing power, so sword and shield soldiers and spearmen were combined into a new type of soldiers, shield spearmen.
The two columns following the shield lancers are archers, who are not only good at long-range shooting, but can also quickly transform into shield lancers, demonstrating flexible and changeable tactical capabilities.
The archers are like ghosts in the night, their fingers lightly touching the strings, ready to unleash the dance of death at any time.
Their arrows are like meteors in the night sky, ready to shoot into the heart of the enemy at any time.
Their eyes are as sharp as an eagle and can accurately capture the target in the night.
The central part of the goose shape is composed of elite archers selected from each village. Their strength is above the fourth rank, with a total number of more than 10,000, and they are led by Yifeng.
Their existence is like that of hunters in the mountains, with shining eyes and silence.
Their arrows were hidden in the quivers at their waists, and each arrow was carefully crafted, with soft feathers, tough shafts and extremely sharp arrowheads.
Their archery skills are not only a display of skill, but also a deep understanding of the laws of survival.
Their eyes reveal calmness and determination, and their arrows are their declarations to the enemy.
Behind the Goose Formation was a powerful cavalry team composed of Ox and Wolf Riders.
Among them were one thousand Spirit Guard Wolf Riders, one thousand Iron Wolf Riders, one thousand Wolf Guard Riders, and more than two thousand Bison Riders, a total of more than five thousand cavalrymen, and their strength was also above the fourth rank.
Their mounts are strong and powerful, with great speed. Once they charge into battle, they will destroy all obstacles like a storm.
The wolves' fur glowed dimly in the night, and their eyes flashed with cunning and ferocity.
The herd of bison exudes a wild atmosphere.
The Spirit Guard Cavalry wears dark purple soft armor and holds a dark purple longbow which can be transformed into a long sword at any time.
The leather armor and weapons of the Bull Wolf Riders are carefully forged, and their fighting power should not be underestimated.
If they launch a charge, it will be a devastating storm that no one can stop.
In the air, three thousand Eagle Guards were hovering. They were the overlords of the sky, their wings cutting through the air, making sharp whistles.
Their eyes are like night vision goggles, able to see everything in the dark.
Their existence provides valuable intelligence and support to ground forces.
The entire army is like a mobile fortress, with every part closely connected and supporting each other.
Their morale is high and their faith is firm, because they know that behind them are the expectations and hopes of countless villages and mountain strongholds.
Tonight, they will face a brutal war.
Their opponents are creatures called ghost beasts. They are powerful and cunning, and their numbers are so large that it makes people's scalps tingle.
"Roar" With a shocking tiger roar, the silence of the night was broken, the whole forest seemed to be awakened, and the pulse of life surged in the air.
The steps of ten thousand spiritual guards were in unison, like a rolling torrent, advancing forward with unstoppable force.
Their soft armor reflected a cold light in the faint moonlight, and they held their spears and shields tightly in their hands, ready for the upcoming fierce battle.
"Bang bang bang" the coalition forces of the rural and mountain strongholds followed the Lingwei Army and marched forward, and the Ox and Wolf Cavalry followed suit. Their momentum was so great that the surrounding areas were in turmoil.
"Roar!" The roars of the monsters came one after another, like thunder, echoing in the valley and shaking the leaves.
"Kill!" The shouts of the soldiers gathered into an irresistible force, as if to swallow up the world.
The strange howling of the ghost soldiers "ga ga" tore the tranquility of the night sky, foreshadowing that the prelude to a life-and-death battle has begun.
"Hiss" the roar of the ghost beast tore through the night sky, full of horror.
In this vast forest, the army of rural villages, the army of hunting ground alliance, the army of monsters, and the army of ghost soldiers formed an unprecedented coalition with more than one million people.
The army launched a fierce attack on the ghost beast army from all directions.
The aura of millions of troops intertwined together, forming a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
The battle line stretched for dozens of miles, like a winding dragon, across the mountains and forests.
Every warrior became a part of the dragon, their heartbeats synchronized with the war drums, and every breath was filled with fighting spirit.
