Nightmare Era

Chapter 233 Qu [-] million

When Qu Heng spent a lot of money to buy various weapons, he may never have thought that whether a sect is strong or not depends not only on whether it has supreme Taoism and peerless magical power, but also on the sect system, promotion system, and distribution system. , sect ideology, and the centripetal force of the people.

Just like on Earth, if you have nuclear bombs, you will be a big country. But if everyone has nuclear bombs, then what they have to compete with is the system, scientific and technological strength, education level, culture and economy, population quality and other aspects.

Qu Heng didn't understand economics, and he didn't even have the concept of economics in his mind. He only had a simple understanding: you have to pay money to buy things.

Then if you need weapons to fight a war, don't you give money to buy weapons? It's a matter of course!
Anyway, the money belongs to the sect, not to you.

And it just so happens that Taihengzong has no new disciples. This part of the saved expenses can be used to purchase weapons, right?
But when he bought the weapons, he didn't calculate that there were only [-] to [-] new students in Shengxian Academy every year, and only [-] to [-] could enter Taiheng Sect.

The cost of buying cannons and tanks for [-] million disciples is far more than the cost of new Taiheng disciples.

These two amounts of money are actually not equal!
Naturally, I never thought about the subsequent chain reaction of spending this money.

First of all, Qu Heng not only needs to mobilize the money that should be allocated to Taiheng's new children, but also needs to allocate part of the money that was originally allocated to the major families.

This part has been approved by the Presbyterian Council, but it certainly cannot come from a big family.

Noble families below the ninth rank can't afford that much money, so it must be transferred to the 500 million ninth rank aristocratic families.

So the heads of the ninth-grade aristocratic families and even the children of the aristocratic families suddenly discovered that not only did Taiheng need them to send troops to fight, but the sect benefits that should have been allocated to them were also reduced!
It stands to reason that since some people from these aristocratic families have gone to war, it would be just right for their benefits to be reduced, but this is just from a distribution perspective.

From the perspective of people's hearts, people in our family contributed to help fight the war, and even our own sons and daughters were sent out. If we were not careful, we would die on the battlefield.

Not only did you not compensate us and give us more things, but you also deprived us of the benefits we should have had. Who can bear this?

Yes, you announced your reasons on Taiheng Network, but can you justifiably exploit us by posting an announcement?
The attitude of the ninth-grade families was quickly reflected on the frontline battlefield.

After all, everyone has a mobile phone these days, and this is Qu Heng's first time leading troops in a war. He doesn't know whether soldiers should put away their mobile phones, so naturally he has not cut off the contact between these ninth-grade family members and the rear.

I am fighting on the front line, but my family members in the rear are not able to enjoy welfare benefits. Instead, they are oppressed. Do you still want me to fight for myself?
Do not make jokes!
I don’t have the courage to disobey orders on the battlefield, but it’s okay for me to be lazy and lazy.

Let us cower when we attack, let us shoot bullets in the sky when we shoot, let us grind and chirp when we turn, and let us walk like the wind when we retreat.

When the soldiers fished for fish, the logistical pressure increased. After all, those with guns couldn't shoot in, so they had to use artillery. The more artillery was used, the higher the consumption of artillery shells.

Qu Heng continued to withdraw benefits from the ninth-grade family, and the ninth-grade family was squeezed even more, so the frontline soldiers became even more timid.

Qu Heng's original plan was to quickly destroy Dongsheng with a force of [-] million troops, and then move to Beiyuan and Xihua, and finally completely eliminate the three rebel armies.

Zhuge Liang destroyed the Qin, Tang, and Ming dynasties in less than six months.

The quality of my soldiers is far superior to Zhuge Liang's, and my military strength is also far superior to Zhuge Liang's. Although the area to be fought is much larger, my opponents are not as good as Zhuge Liang's opponents.

Three months to cover the entire map, it’s not too much!

But the fact is that after playing for a month, we have just reached the first line of Dongsheng.

The Dongsheng Rebel Army worked together and built a second line of defense in the rear. The Taiheng Army fought for another half month, often advancing during the day and being pushed back at night. The front line did not move for half a month!
"What happened? Why?" Qu Heng woke up from seclusion.

That's right, when he was directing the battle, he even closed his eyes for a while.

If you are cultivating immortality, it is normal to have insights occasionally.

It didn’t take long, just 21 days. When the results came out, I found that where I was 21 days ago, I was still there 21 days later.

"Captain, the rebels on the opposite side are like field rats. They don't fight us head-on. They either defend the fortified city or hide in an unknown place and then sneak up on us at night!" This is a member of the Qu family, whose name is Called Qu Liang, he is now a staff officer accompanying the army, responsible for conveying Qu Heng's orders.

"Is there such a thing?" Qu Heng was shocked: "The Taiheng Army is not blind at night, how could it be attacked by a sneak attack?"

A dignified immortal cultivator can see things overnight and does not need to sleep. How can he be attacked by a sneak attack?

This is outrageous too!

"They seem to have a magical power that blocks vision. It's called the Dark Night Technique. It's especially effective at night!" Qu Liang said.

Qu Heng thought for a moment, he had never heard of this magical power at all.

"Who are the rebels on the other side?" Qu Heng asked.

"What are the Konoha, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Tsuchigakure, and Sunagakure forces, as well as the navy, the Demon Slayer Corps, and the Free Corps, it's all a mess," Qu Liang said.

"Very strong?" Qu Heng asked.

"It's not very strong, but there are some top experts who are difficult to deal with!" Qu Liang said: "For example, Payne, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Sengoku, Garp, Ai, Terumi Mei, and another one The one named Jiguo Yuanyi is particularly powerful. He has already reached the eighth level of Qi refining at a young age, and no one on our side can be his opponent!"

"Is there such a thing?" Qu Heng was stunned and then thought about it again.

His Taiheng Army recruits are all from ninth-grade aristocratic families, and the highest cultivation level of the ninth-grade aristocratic families is only the eighth level of Qi refining.

It should be noted that the Three Tribulation Realm is not a separate realm, but is also divided into the Divine Realm. It is a kind of disaster that will occur after the Divine Realm reaches perfection.

The people with the highest cultivation level in the ninth-grade family are only at the eighth level of Qi refining. These people with the highest cultivation level will definitely not be able to come when Taiheng recruits troops.

Those who came were naturally monks at the seventh level of Qi refining and below.

If you put it this way, if you don't take action, no one can really do anything about that Jigoku Enichi.

"Dongsheng actually has such a genius?" Qu Heng felt a little incredible. It has only been 16 years since Zhang Jiao taught the method, but there are people who can practice to the eighth level of Qi refining!
Taiheng has never seen such a perversion!
You must know that not everyone is like Yang Ning, who can master the peerless magical power at a glance.

The souls of ordinary people cannot bear a few Taoist texts. They have to practice word by word, sentence by sentence.

Even the aristocratic family has no good way to speed up this speed!

"Only if the whole people practice cultivation, can such a genius emerge among hundreds of millions of people!" Qu Heng sighed with emotion, and then asked: "Since this person is so powerful, why does he not unify Dongsheng, but still has so many forces? "

With the power of Tsukuni Enichi, who else in Konoha or other navy can beat him?

"Oh, because the force he belongs to is too weak and can only fight a dozen people." Qu Liang said: "The number of troops in Konoha and the navy is in the hundreds of thousands."

Qu Heng nodded, feeling that he had some understanding of his opponent.

He really hadn't studied his opponents before. With an army of 3 million, he could just push them horizontally and be done with it.

He felt that the reason why the progress in the past 21 days was not smooth was probably because he did not participate in the command. When he was commanding before, the fight went very smoothly!

First, five eighth-level Qi Refining monks were transferred from the family to kill Jiguo Enichi. He did not engage in the kind of evenly matched game. Since there was an opponent, he would directly kill him with all his strength.

He actually wanted to train the ninth level Qi refiners, but since there were too many people on the battlefield who were using black guns, the ninth level Qi refiners did not come because they did not want to bully the younger ones. Then he assigned five eighth level Qi refinement disciples who had no human rights to come. .

They are all children of the family, and their fathers or mothers may be his descendants, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, etc.

It was hard for him to say anything. Anyway, five eighth levels of Qi Refining were enough.

The 3 million army was divided into forty divisions and attacked forty forces respectively.

It's not that he doesn't know how to concentrate, but the children of these aristocratic families all have their own contradictions, and he doesn't know how to blend them together.

Anyway, this is how I fought before. Since there is no problem, I can continue to fight like this in the future.

As soon as this wave of operations came out, the Internet was still very calm. After all, there were not many people who had commanded large legions in battle. There were many civilians who had watched the entire Great Xia Unification War, but how could they dare to point fingers at the head of Taiheng Sect? point?
On the other hand, many civil servants and generals in the spiritual realm burst out laughing.

"Meat eaters are despicable and cannot plan far. This statement is true!" Cao GUI was the first to comment.

Many civil servants and generals from the Spring and Autumn Period nodded. Their warfare at that time was still very primitive, and their population and available soldiers were small.

Therefore, although there is still learning to do later, after arriving in the spiritual realm, he was still eliminated by those perverted macho men in the first wave.

But this doesn't stop them from speaking out.

"That's true!" Sun Wu, who wrote "The Art of War", nodded: "The method of using troops is to surround an enemy ten times, attack it five times, divide it if it is doubled. If the enemy is small, it can be fought, if it is small, it can escape, and if it is not, it can be defeated." We can avoid it. With 2000 million against [-] million, although we have the upper hand in terms of military strength, the morale at this time is already different from a month ago. How can we still attack them separately?"

The others nodded.

If this were a month ago, it would be no problem for you to do this. You had many soldiers, and the Taiheng Army had just formed an army, which was a time when morale was high.

But what is the situation now? Your soldiers all know that something happened at home. They have spent more than 20 days paddling, and their morale has dropped to a certain level!

On the contrary, it was the opposite side. Not only was it a battle to defend the territory, but it was also a time when they were suppressed and beaten for more than 20 days.

In short, it is a sad army!
However, it cannot be said that victory is guaranteed. After all, the rebels on Dongsheng's side are mostly composed of characters from Japanese comics. As we all know, their wars are often village fights. Once the number of people exceeds thousands, there will be problems with strategic command.

For example, in the Warring States Period, where the war was like a mental retardation, a hundred thousand ninjas were fighting during the Fourth Battle of the Five Villages.

As soon as the screen turned, we had arrived at Dongsheng.

Although there are more than 40 forces here, with powerful enemies on the side, a joint command has been formed.

The ministers are composed of heads of various ministries, but they are powerful and must participate in the war. Instead, the decision is made by the staff composed of wise men from various forces.

For example, Nara Shikaku, Nara Shikamaru, Orochimaru, Samui, Tsuru, Nico Robin, Aizen, Yagami Light, L, Conan.
In front of them was a huge map, showing Dongsheng's 1900 million square kilometers of land.

At this time, two lines, one blue and one red, were running side by side at the bottom of the map. They were the two sides facing each other.

There are dense red and blue dots behind the line. These dots are large and small, which correspond to the number of troops deployed here by both sides.

It can be seen that although the Dongsheng Army is at a disadvantage in terms of situation, it has an advantage in terms of intelligence.

People in Xiaoli really attach great importance to intelligence. Whether it is military or commercial, sending spies is a routine operation.

"The number of pills purchased by the Taiheng military has suddenly increased by 427%. I heard that Qu Heng has also come out of seclusion. They should launch a general attack on us!" Misaka Mikoto controlled the computer. Among everyone present, she was the best at playing games. This.

"The Taiheng Army attacked Dongsheng with [-] million troops, but was blocked at the border for a month and a half. It can no longer hold back!" He said, "But looking at their situation, they still want to divide their forces?"

"This is a bit contemptuous!" Aizen adjusts his glasses and changes from a super villain to a staff member of the Dongsheng Rebel Army. He is as scary as an opponent and more reassuring as a teammate: "But this It was also our strategy that led them to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!"

Shikahisa Nara nodded.

Although they failed to defend themselves in the first battle, they only lost some cities. The Dongsheng Army did not suffer much loss in strength.

The reason is that this is the plan of the arrogant soldiers.

Let them fight with the wind at first, and the opponent will naturally underestimate themselves, and then underestimate the enemy and rush forward, exposing their flaws.

If you underestimate the enemy and perform poorly, your combat effectiveness will decline even more.

Of course, the most important point is to strengthen Qu Heng's confidence and make him believe that dividing the troops into forty groups is correct.

Spending 2000 million against 3 million is courting death, but 3 million is divided into 750 parts, each of which is only [-] million.

2000 million versus 750 million is a big advantage!
As for which one to hit for 750 million, there is no need to think about it!
"Buzz!" More than a dozen sharp sword energies suddenly struck at the five eighth-level Qi-refining monks who were besieging Jiguo Yuanyi.

The five people quickly dodged and then looked at the person coming carefully: "Are there any experts?"

"Of course!" The person who came had a ponytail and was wearing a T-shirt tied up at the waist, revealing his fair abdomen.The lower body of the jeans has one leg long and the other short, revealing her straight and slender thighs.

In the forbidden world, a genius girl who reached the realm of saint at only 18 years old: Kanzaki Kaori!
She is definitely not the strongest in the forbidden world, but she cannot stand up to her high popularity and white legs, so Yang Ning gets a lot of attention.

His current cultivation level is also at the eighth level of Qi refining!

"And I have a concubine!" She has long, long hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a purple kimono, her eyes are purple, and there is a mole in the corner of her eye.

The girl also held a tall naginata in her hand, which she called Inemitsu.

General Thunder!

There were two footsteps again, but this time no one spoke.

The five people turned around after hearing the sound, and saw a young man with an afro and a cold expression walking over together with a young man with long, straight black hair and a simple expression.

"Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama?" The five people recognized the two of them, and then sensed their cultivation levels, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat: "They are also at the eighth level of Qi refining? Are you hiding your cultivation level?"

Three men and two women, the five of them stopped talking and started taking action!
The five of us are also very confident. We are descendants of the Qu family and we practice the art of Qi Luck. How can you, a country man like you, be worthy of being our opponents?

But you don’t know if you don’t fight, and you will be shocked when you fight.

The quality of the magic power of these five people is not only not weaker than them, but is even completely crushed!
This means that they have not only practiced the eight magical powers, but their magical powers can be perfectly integrated together to produce an effect no less than that of the "Great Luck Technique"!

But how is this possible? Aren't there only two supreme Taoist arts in the world?
These five people actually used five different supreme Taoist techniques!

how can that be!

The five people immediately had an idea: "Escape!"

This information must be sent out. The rebels have mastered many supreme Taoist techniques. If this information is spread out, it will definitely shock the world!
But the five of them only relied on family resources and the time to practice to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining, but the five people who besieged them were all the proud sons of heaven in various worlds, and they were all protagonists in their era. , can this still allow them to run away?
Only when the strength is equal will the fight last for several days and nights. When the strength is broken and crushed, a few minutes is enough!

A few minutes later, the five people killed five of the Qu family's children, and then headed towards the base camp where Qu Heng was.

These five people are not just five people chosen at random.

Madara knows genjutsu, Senju Hashirama knows barrier and sealing techniques.

Kanzaki Kaori and Tsukuni Enichi are very lethal.

General Thunder and Lightning has strong perception and can block his consciousness through lightning!

General Raiden sensed the scout first, and then blocked his consciousness. Madara controlled his actions, Hashirama arranged a barrier to conceal the movement, and Kanzaki Kaori took Kuni Yuen's move.

Without any sound, the scouts and spies along the way were cleared away.

An army of 30 elite Qi-refining monks formed a military formation and followed them quietly.

The 30-strong army is so vast that it is theoretically impossible to hide it, but the military formation developed through spiritual realm evolution has such a wonderful function.

Twenty minutes later, Qu Heng, who had just given the order to attack, suddenly felt a panic.

He immediately turned on his spiritual thoughts and discovered that the elite rebel army was less than ten miles away from his base camp!
"How brave!" Qu Heng was shocked. There are tens of millions of troops in our formation!
Moreover, I have never seen a Qi-training monk dare to charge into the formation of a spiritual realm monk!

"I want to see what you are going to do!" Qu Heng did not rely on his own strength and did not even notify his subordinates to prepare.

His idea was very simple, what if I reminded him now, and the other side found out again, and just retreated.

Don't remind me, it's just a loss of a little strength, but you can defeat this elite team. In the meantime, our morale will be greatly boosted, while the enemy's morale will be plummeted. Wouldn't this battle be much simpler?

Qu Heng sat firmly in the central military tent, watching Banye's vanguard army kill and injure the city head, when his own army discovered that someone was attacking.

"The quality of the soldiers is indeed a bit poor!" Qu Heng shook his head, but there was nothing we could do about it. The Renyi Army had been fighting, and their Taiheng Army had just been established a few months ago. There was bound to be a gap.

Five eighth-level Qi Refiners rushed to the fortress, and the ones he used to defend the fortress were also elite, but they couldn't take down five of them for a while.

Not only was it unable to capture the Susanata Buddha, there were three swordsmen standing on its shoulders, and the Gundam also directly destroyed the city wall protected by heavy formations!
The 30-strong army followed closely behind them, but within 10 minutes they captured the city wall and broke into the camp.

The defenders on the city wall hurriedly sent out a summons signal.

However, the army composed of children from aristocratic families is not trained, and they may not be able to understand the signals.

And once a person is ruined, it is difficult to recover.

Furthermore, Qu Heng's retribution for taking away the welfare of the ninth-grade family has come.

Faced with an enemy attack, the first thought of these children of aristocratic families was not to resist, but to pretend not to know, or even run away.

After all, you may not be rewarded if you perform meritorious service, but your family will definitely be bullied if you sacrifice or die.

There is no need to think about this at all. After all, my family had already been bullied when I was still alive and on the front line. What's more, after my death, my family's strength has become weaker.

I am from an aristocratic family myself, how can I still understand the virtues of other aristocratic families?

The gathering was slow, with little desire to fight, and they would run away if they were at a slight disadvantage. In addition, the Dongsheng Rebel Army gathered elites, so that 30 people rushed into the fortress with 1000 million people, and it was as if they were in an uninhabited land. Killed directly to the core of the fortress!

Finally, Qu Heng could not sit on the Diaoyutai, so he walked out of the room and came to the inner wall of the fortress. He watched the enemy troops getting closer and closer until he could speak with a normal voice.

"You guys." Qu Heng looked at the five of them, already loving talents.

It takes 16 years to reach the eighth level of Qi refining, but what will happen in 160 years?

As for them being rebels?
Is this the problem?
The reason why they are rebels is because they have not felt the glory of my Taiheng.

As long as I forgive their sins and give them a Taiheng household registration, won't they be grateful?

However, before he could speak, General Thunder and Lightning had already struck with his sword.

"Oh, it seems we can't do it without a fight!" Qu Heng shook his head, and then stretched out a hand.

To reach the fifth level of spiritual realm and the eighth level of Qi refining, one hand is enough.

General Thunder and Lightning slashed down with his sword, but it did not hit Qu Heng. Instead, it drew a trace in the space!
"This is the magical power of space? No!" The space is extremely unstable now, no one can use the magical power of space, and how can a mere eighth-level Qi Refining monk come into contact with the power of space?
So what this sword unfolds is not space, but: the divine sea!

The divine sea is the sea of ​​human consciousness. This is the first time that Qu Heng has seen someone use the sea of ​​divine consciousness in battle.

No, this divine sea is somewhat different from the ordinary divine sea. It feels like a dream.

Is it some special magical power?

While thinking about it, General Raiden's dream had fully unfolded.

What appeared in front of Qu Heng was a 320-meter-high, 16-meter-diameter, white, vertical rocket!

In an instant, all the hairs on Qu Heng’s body stood up!
This is a hydrogen bomb!
Crazy crazy!

How powerful is the hydrogen bomb? If it explodes here, I will not necessarily die, but you will definitely not be able to escape!

He glanced at General Thunder and Lightning, but felt that the man's eyes were cold, as if he didn't care about his life at all.

How much hatred does this Dongsheng Rebel Army have against me, Taiheng, that someone would attack me with a hydrogen bomb?

You know, the eighth level of Qi Refining is indispensable to Taiheng, but to Dongsheng, he is definitely a very important powerhouse!
Qu Heng stepped on the Jie De Tian Yuan Step and escaped dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.

But he still felt it was not enough and ran for dozens of kilometers before stopping.

According to his last observation, the explosion range of the hydrogen bomb is almost here!
Qu Heng turned his head and stared blankly at the fortress in the distance. He waited for a long time, but he never saw the light that penetrated the sky and the earth. Instead, he waited for Zhao Wudi's unified phone call.

"Qu Heng, the head of Qu, what are you doing!"

"What for what?"

"Escape from the battlefield, a monk in the spiritual realm is afraid of a monk in the Qi refining stage, and a female cultivator! You have completely embarrassed me, Tai Heng!"

"What?" Qu Heng was stunned. He quickly turned on his phone and clicked on Deep Blue Weibo. He saw that the number one spot on the hot search list was "Head of Taiheng fled without a fight"!
"I was avoiding the hydrogen bomb to prevent myself from dying together with the opponent. I was not trying to escape without a fight!" Qu Heng cursed, while clicking on the entry.

After seeing the detailed content in the entry, Qu Heng was immediately confused.

"The leader escaped before the battle, and the Taiheng army suffered heavy casualties!"

The Taiheng Army has no fighting spirit. It would be better if there is a leader to fight alongside them, but now.
Due to the limited angle, they couldn't see the hydrogen bomb in General Leiden's dream. They could only see that their leader ran away without even thinking about a monk at the eighth level of Qi Refining!

Coupled with the Dongsheng Rebel Army's propaganda and live broadcast, in just a moment, Taiheng Army knew about it.

In an instant, the whole line collapsed!

You, the leader, have run away, why are we left here?
Moreover, I'm afraid you didn't do this on purpose, just to let us die so that you could seize our family property.
The morale of the military has collapsed, conspiracy theories are prevalent, and now the Taiheng family soldiers just want to go home!
It is no longer important to make great achievements or regain Dongsheng!

Nothing matters more than being alive!

When the morale of the military collapses, not to mention 30 million soldiers, even 300 billion, 2000 billion, will be chased everywhere by 200 million, even 20 million, or even [-] people!
Moreover, it is not enough to have the Dongsheng Rebels chasing after them. The children of these families are still taking advantage of the chaos to retaliate against the enemy families. Anyway, if they die now, they can be blamed on the Dongsheng Rebels. If they are not killed now, when will they be killed?

Just like this, you were running away from me, and the defense line that had been lost for a month and a half was completely recovered in just one day!

In the Internet age, Qu Heng received news of the defeat very quickly.

But it's impossible for him to go back, that's a nuclear bomb!
I have practiced hard for tens of thousands of years and finally reached the realm of spiritual law. My lifespan is almost infinite, just to be exploded by a hydrogen bomb?
He could only gather the defeated troops at the Taiheng border. Fortunately, the immortal cultivators were fast, and they were almost able to gather them in just two days.

Finally, crunch the numbers.

It was 3 million when it came, and now it is 1.27 million.
Qu Heng felt that it was actually okay, after all, he didn't think it was his problem at all.

First, I am not running away from the battlefield at all.

Second, even if I'm not here, you shouldn't fight like this!

And not to mention that the person who died was a child of the aristocratic family, even if the person who died was a child of the Qu family, his wife and children, Qu Heng didn't care.

Anyway, immortal cultivators have a long life, they can remarry their wives, and they can have more children.

But when he turned on his phone again and saw netizens' comments about the battle and the nicknames they gave him, Qu Heng's calm expression finally broke.

He led 2000 million soldiers, but was defeated by the Dongsheng Rebel Army who emptied his fortune and barely saved [-] million soldiers, hence the name: Dongsheng Prisoners.

In addition, there is an escape master.

Because General Raiden was wearing a purple kimono, and the Taiheng people didn't recognize kimonos and only thought of them as a kind of skirt, so he got the nickname Purple Skirt Fanatic. They thought he liked the purple skirt and couldn't bear to do it, so he ran away. of.

And what made him unbearable the most: Qu [-] million.

It is simple and straightforward, widely spread, and not as complicated as other titles. After the first netizen proposed it, it instantly became popular on the entire Internet, so much so that Qu Heng couldn't even search for his own name. They were all named Qu Sanyi!

Even the word "heng" is gone. When talking about this word, netizens will automatically replace it with "three hundred million"
It is conceivable that this name will replace various identity labels such as Qu Heng and Taiheng leader and accompany him throughout his life!
It's even possible that the other person is dead, but his story is still circulating on the Internet!
