I am the villain in the book

If it really gets to a critical point, the Wei family can stop the war.

The moment Wei Changtian said this, Xu Sui Sui and Ning Yongnian, though their expressions didn't change, both secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Okay."

Taking a deep look at Wei Changtian, Xu Sui Sui's tone became extremely serious.

"Since that's the case, then I will tell you what is about to happen to Da Feng and Da Ning."

“. . . ”

The Da Ning Dynasty, encompassing thirty-six prefectures, is located in the southeast corner of the continent, with its southeast sides bordering the sea.

Its northernmost prefecture is Liang, and north of Liang Prefecture is the Tianshan Mountains, where Old Zhangtou used his sword to kill Zhang Benchu.

And further north of Tianshan is a small country, “Ji.”

The Ji Kingdom is not large, only about one-tenth the size of Da Ning.

Because of the natural barrier of the Tianshan Mountains, there is very little interaction between the two countries, but after all, they are neighboring countries, so the Suspended Mirror Division has always placed a small number of spies in its capital, and the Zhan Shi Fu also sends envoys there every year.

However, the “Da Jue Dynasty” further north of the Ji Kingdom is not the same.

Da Jue has roughly the same land area as Da Ning, and the entire country follows the path of cultivation of “Witchcraft.”

There are three thousand Great Daos, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, so I won’t discuss here which is superior or inferior between “Witchcraft” and “Taoism,” or whether there is a distinction between “good and evil.”

In short, before Da Ning fell into great turmoil, the national strength of the two countries was actually not much different, and there was almost no contact between them.

Therefore, apart from being able to obtain some “public information” about Da Jue through the Ji Kingdom, Da Ning's concept of Da Jue basically remained only on the map.

The Da Feng Dynasty, encompassing twenty-four prefectures, borders Da Ning to the east, is adjacent to the Shiwan Mountains to the south, the Da Hui Dynasty to the west, and further west of Da Hui is Da Qian Dynasty, Xu Sui Sui's “first stop” after transmigrating.

Unlike Da Jue mentioned above, Da Qian's national strength far exceeds that of Da Feng and Da Ning, and there is no mainstream cultivation path in the country, with various schools and factions existing.

Similar to Da Jue, Da Feng knows very little about such a great power separated by one country, let alone Da Ning, which is separated by two countries.

So...

"Girl, do you mean that the Da Jue and Da Qian kingdoms intend to send troops against my Da Ning?"

In Lingbo Pavilion, Ning Yongnian's expression was somewhat astonished.

He was both surprised by such intelligence and surprised by how Xu Sui Sui knew this intelligence.

After all, although these two countries are far away, he would definitely be able to detect any large-scale abnormal troop movements.

Since he hadn't received any news beforehand, it meant that the actions of these two countries had been carried out in secret.

Then how did Xu Sui Sui find out?

Could it be simply because she came from Da Qian?

Obviously, Ning Yongnian had already investigated Xu Sui Sui and knew some information.

However, this scattered information undoubtedly could not make him immediately believe such a thing.

"Miss Xu, how did you know this?"

“. . . ”

"His Majesty doesn't need to know about this, and they are not just targeting Da Ning, but Da Feng and Da Ning."

Looking at Ning Yongnian, Xu Sui Sui paused slightly: "And..."

"And what?"

"Also, it's not just Da Jue and Da Qian who are sending troops."

Xu Sui Sui said calmly: "But the four kingdoms of Ji, Jue, Hui, and Qian."

“. . . ”

The four kingdoms of Ji, Jue, Hui, and Qian.

As soon as these words fell, Lingbo Pavilion immediately fell into a dead silence.

Not only Ning Yongnian, but even Wei Changtian's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Good heavens! Four kingdoms sending troops at the same time?!

Based on Xu Sui Sui's previous narration, he had always thought that the "oriole" was only Da Jue and Da Qian.

In the end, it turned out to be a four-nation coalition??

How could Da Feng and Da Ning fight this?

"When will they move?"

Suddenly, Wei Changtian looked at Xu Sui Sui and asked, "It should be recently, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Sui Sui nodded: "Troops will be sent after the New Year in the first month, and the vanguard will arrive at Liang Prefecture and Jingning Prefecture at the latest in February next year."

Troops will be sent in the first month.

It is now mid-November, which means there is still a month and a half left.

And there are at most three months before the official start of the war.

"How many people will come in total?"

Soon, Wei Changtian asked the second question: "You should know this."

“. . . ”

Xu Sui Sui pursed her lips, but did not answer immediately.

Now, Da Feng's troops have basically been exhausted. Counting those who surrendered with Li Qi before, and the remaining private soldiers from each prefecture, there are at most 300,000.

Da Ning is slightly better. Ning Yongnian alone has more than 300,000 under his command, plus those in the country... 500,000 to 600,000 can still be gathered.

If you add the Jianghu forces that the Wei family has gathered, as well as the Shu Kingdom and Da Li reinforcements under Ning Yuke's rule.

If they can really achieve "unity of purpose and consistent resistance to foreign enemies," the two countries of Feng and Ning can now at least come up with more than one million soldiers.

More than one million, which is already very good for the two countries that have been fighting for more than a year. After all, 500,000 died in Yuanzhou City alone, and another 200,000 died at Niutou Mountain later.

However, it should be known that due to the existence of the cultivation system in this world, "universal conscription" is impossible.

There are only so many cultivators, and it is impossible for everyone to join the army, so the speed of replenishment must be far less than the battle losses after the start of the war. It can be said that one is lost for every battle fought.

And how many people would it take to destroy the two countries with more than one million soldiers left?

If the war does not stop and continues to be chaotic like this, then perhaps 500,000 would be enough.

If the war really stops and they unite to resist the enemy, then at most the same number of people would be needed.

The reasoning is indeed this reasoning.

However, Wei Changtian and Ning Yongnian both understood that since the four kingdoms of Ji, Jue, Hui, and Qian wanted to launch an attack, they definitely wanted to end the war as quickly as possible.

Then the number of people must be higher than one million.

So... 1.2 million? 1.5 million?

For a time, the two stared at Xu Sui Sui, waiting for her to say the answer.

The latter finally took a deep breath after a moment of silence, and slowly said with a complicated expression:

"Almost..."

"Two million."

“. . . ”

Two million.

Damn it, in the ancient times of my previous life, there were only a handful of wars where the total number of people on both sides exceeded one million, and there was still a lot of exaggeration in them.

As a result, I have to fight a war with a total of three million people less than two years after I transmigrated???

Although I know that these two million people cannot all rush over at once, Wei Changtian was still dumbfounded when he heard it.

On the other hand, Xu Sui Sui hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Not only that."

"Young Master Wei, Your Majesty, the four kingdoms are not engaged in an ordinary invasion this time."

"They not only want to seize land, but also to kill people."

"If we can't resist, the devastation of the Feng and Ning kingdoms will be far more than just empty words."

“. . . ”

The cold wind fluttered the surrounding tents, and the muffled sound seemed to be sobbing.

After Xu Sui Sui even revealed the strength of the four kingdoms, Ning Yongnian no longer doubted the truth of all this, but lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Judging from his slightly trembling figure, his emotions should be particularly complex at this time.

However, Wei Changtian regained his composure after complaining in his heart for a while.

Glancing at Xu Sui Sui, he suddenly asked another somewhat irrelevant question.

"Anything else?"

"Huh?"

Xu Sui Sui was stunned: "Anything else what?"

"What I mean is, besides what you just said..."

Wei Changtian stared into her eyes and asked, word by word: "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

“. . . ”

"Yes."

"About a certain sword technique?"

“. . . ”

"Yes."
