After using various light or unscrupulous means to stabilize the Celestial Empire, the Expeditionary Force made all preparations. Then, the Celestial Empire began a large-scale propaganda campaign across the country. The great disaster that the Black Cloud people who frantically advocated the "evil" brought to the Celestial Empire was simply a bitter and grudge. The Black Cloud Empire was simply an enemy of the entire mankind. In order to liberate the people under the rule of the Black Cloud Empire, the Celestial Army had to launch another war. At the same time, the Celestial Empire had to set out to expedition to the overseas continents for the sake of the Celestial Empire. This was their personal pride, and the pride of their family, and even more so the Celestial Empire. With such a Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire could naturally continue to be strong forever.

This propaganda movement of the golden lotus with eloquence lasted for half a year, and the whole Celestial Empire had become a voice: cross the sea, kill the Black Cloud Empire, and save all the suffering people under their evil and bloody rule. The people of the Celestial Empire also began to look forward to how good the minerals in the three continents under the Black Cloud Empire would bring to themselves under the use of the Celestial Empire's technological means.

Of course, there is no need to be careful about this kind of publicity campaign. Even if there are spies in the mainland of the Celestial Empire, they cannot pass the news back.

Ten thousand warships were densely covered with the outer seas of Jiangcheng. The most exaggerated of these was the giant dragon boats that were more than 200 feet long. Although they were made of wooden pieces, they had amazing carrying capacity. The first two million soldiers and 370,000 war horses of the expeditionary army could support the food and grass that could last for three months had been loaded. From the land of the Celestial Empire to the territory of the Black Cloud Empire, it took more than two months to wander on the sea. So, in fact, after the army all the way landed, they had to collect food and grass on the spot. To put it bluntly, they were snatching food and grass from the natives. According to several famous violent generals of the Celestial Empire, "Damn it, I snatch their food and grass to give them face. They should take the initiative to deliver it to us."

As the army set out at the same time, there were 1,800 new artillery and a large number of ordnances.

Emperor Tianyou didn't say much nonsense at the oath-taking ceremony, but just said: "I hope that your names can be worshipped in the Holy Spirit Hall in the future." In Yang Tian's surprised eyes, this short sentence made two million soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom howl wildly, and even the sea water trembled slightly by the huge sound waves.

At this moment, ten thousand warships slowly left, and one thousand special fast warships left the team first. They wanted to go to the strait to replace a group of garrison fleets. The replaced navy will change to Jiangcheng with a new type of warships and follow the second group of troops to respond. According to the plan of the Celestial Empire, within half a year, all 6.7 million expeditionary troops will arrive at the land of the Black Cloud Empire. The task of the first batch of troops is to open a base, occupy about ten of their cities, accumulate food, horses, minerals, husbands, etc.

Very lucky, the Holy Dragon Guards regiment was arranged to join a large army. Originally, Grand Secretary Zeng and a group of big men were reluctant to let their treasures follow the army, but their treasures were bewitched by Yang Tian and Long Feng, as if as long as they got on the land of the Black Cloud Empire, they could have a lot of gold and silver. They had a lot of beauties and women. They asked for the fight to the death and finally got the opportunity to start. The guards regiment that had expanded into 50,000 people was loaded in the thirteen dragon boats in front. The soldiers from the "Tiger and Wolf Army" performed daily physical exercise activities on the deck with a solemn expression, while the young men sat on the railings, masts, and laughed constantly on the corners.

On the bow of the fleet flagship "Sacred Dragon" inside and outside, Qiong Daotian looked at the strange performance of the young men in the Guards Group with a headache, and began to regret whether he had caused a big trouble in his hands.

On the left side of the flagship, a huge dragon boat that was ridiculously luxurious, more than a dozen young dancers were singing and dancing, waving the big red feather fan in their hands. An old guy with thin and shrunk face, covered with black wrinkles, and a shiny old guy sitting upright on the big backrest at the bow of the boat, slapping his hands and laughing. Several little bald heads were serving tea and wine next to him, very respectful. The specially made dragon boat carried the old ghost of Hei Tian and nine thousand disciples of the Great Hei Tian Divine Sect... The old ghost of Hei Tian fulfilled his promise and carefully selected nine thousand monks and monks to accompany him. Basically, the essence of his own sect was all on this ship.

On the right dragon boat of the flagship are the alchemists of the "Wangtian Pavilion" of the Danei and the little mages of the genre. Under the attack and exclusion of the Black Heaven Sect, their power is getting weaker and weaker. Now there are only a thousand mages with certain strength gathered together, so they are arranged on this dragon boat, and are crowded with selected masters of the worship hall and martial arts masters from all over the Heavenly Dynasty. Many masters of the sects are on the same boat as the Five Generations, and they are in full swing. The officials responsible for collecting their officials said very well: "If you make meritorious service, you can be granted an official; if you resist the order, you will be executed!" With gangs everywhere, these aristocratic sects wisely chose the path of expedition with the army. They also have confidence: at least, it is easy to survive on the battlefield with their own martial arts.

Along the way, the wind was calm.

The soldiers trained shifts on the deck every day, and the desolate singing vibrated the seas far and near. Long Feng frowned and listened to their songs, and vaguely heard the pirated "Manjianghong-Ai" and an unknown song with murderous intent. Amid the singing, the huge fleet crossed the previous garrison fleet that had been replaced; the fleet passed through the calm "Yinfeng" Strait; the fleet entered the sea water with a faint grass green and blue yellow, close to the territory of the Black Cloud Empire.

After continuing for seven days, a line of land had appeared in his eyes, and triangular white sails appeared on the horizontal line. The sharp sound of barbarians and the powerful horns sounded wildly. Small speedboats, ten feet long, were put down from the large dragon boats, and the navy soldiers boarded these small ships suitable for melee beach hunting. The shiny gun barrels of the small cannons emerged from the hidden square holes around the dragon boat.

Flashes of footsteps resounded through all the dragon boats, warships, and infantry soldiers moved their itchy muscles and bones with murderous aura. They raised their swords and guns amid the sound of "crackling" joints, and mounted huge siege crossbows, densely covered the dragon boats.

The group of young men and women from the Guards cheered, put on their own delicate armor, and set off on the deck with full spirit, waved the sword in their hands, and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill, rob, grab, grab..."

The military judges on the flagship asked Qiong Daotian with a gloomy expression: "Mr. Hou, what if they violated the military law?"

Qiong Daotian smiled and cleared his responsibilities: "I don't care about this issue. I'm just responsible for the first army... All the total military power is still on Marshal Wen. You have to ask him for instructions on this issue... Although the Guards are my direct subordinates, they have a clear understanding of their members. Whoever you offend, you won't have any good results... In other words, children are ignorant. They should rob some things for the first time in a war. How many things can you take away as a group of young men? It doesn't have much impact, don't be nervous..."

After saying this batch of nonsense, Qiong Daotian's face changed and he roared with murderous intent: "But, if any officers and soldiers who are not the Guards regiment violate the military law, kill me hard." The military judges agreed and naturally attributed the Guards regiment to the type of Hedgehogs regiment in their hearts.

Three hours later, the fleet of smooth sailing approached the land of the "Black Cloud Empire". The naked eye could see the small red house covered by green trees on the continent. The fishermen on hundreds of small fishing boats exclaimed and turned their bows to flee to the land. They had never seen such a strange fleet before, especially the flags flying on each fleet made them feel a hint of coldness and fear: it was a black dragon with blood-red eyes, and on the claws on the right, holding a sharp blood-colored sword. Below him were surging wave patterns.

The Celestial Chronicle fleet approached slowly, and their small fishing boats fled wildly. Just as they were about to escape into the port, a huge wave mixed with black flames rolled up in the ground and slapped heavily on their fishing boats. The old ghost in Heitian smiled strangely, and a small spire in his hand filled with black light. A trace of howling soul was drawn out of the sea water and sucked in.

On the dragon boat where the alchemists of the "Wangtian Pavilion" were located, a handsome young mage raised his eyebrows and was about to take action. The old Taoist beside him pinched his back hard and whispered: "Jinyang, stop, you can't beat him now... You are just a few people from a foreign country, don't act rashly." Jinyang snorted coldly, his eyes full of murderous aura glared at the cheerful old ghost of Heitian, and his fingers were released one by one from his magic sword.

The place where the fleet of the Celestial Dynasty was about to land was a very small port city. At this moment, a city defense team of about two thousand people gathered on the dock in the sound of the alarm bell, but when their commander saw the huge fleet of ships that basically covered the sea outside the port, he wisely ordered: "Everyone, abandon the city and escape, hurry up, people from the northern continent are coming to take revenge, run." As soon as he finished speaking, several huge fireballs fell on his side, and more than two hundred people were instantly turned into ashes. At the same time, the artillery carried by the Celestial Dynasty fleet also roared, and the entire city was slowly burning, collapsed and turned into vanish as the fireballs erupted, the ground was shaken, and people's panic and running.

Qiong Daotian had put on his armor at this moment, and his mount, a blood-colored horse, also neighed lowly, impatiently digging his hooves beside him. Qiong Daotian's voice seemed to come from hell, and a cold order said: "Baoist, land, control all nearby villages and towns, and kill all the resisters. Collect all their food and supplies, and leave them with the most basic living needs."

The flagship took the lead and leaned on the port dock. The huge hull immediately occupied all the positions in this small port where ships could be shipped to ship cargo, and other ships could only land on the beach.

The old ghost of Hei Tian ignored these trivial matters at all. He had already flew into the sky with a wild smile, allowing the newly-cast "Ghost Tower" in his hand to crazily absorb the undead below. Seeing the tower body slowly emit light, the old ghost of Hei Tian was proud and laughed wildly, and almost fell from the sky.

The soldiers silently boarded the boat from the large ships of the fleet and rushed to the beach. Then, under the leadership of their own commanders, the entire team advanced rapidly to all directions. The task of the one-and-a-half-million soldiers was to clear out all the resistance forces of the Black Cloud Empire within a radius of 100 miles in two days. Because they didn't know whether this was the original territory of the Black Cloud Empire or other continents that were occupied later, they had to prepare for local troops to resist desperately. The other remaining soldiers used this port to transport the remaining food, grass, materials, etc. to ashore to prepare a base for advancement.

The navy's detectives quickly got off the ship, and under the protection of the brigade of soldiers, they began to survey and record nearby terrain, etc., looking for natural harbors that could accommodate more fleets of landings.

Three days have passed in a hurry. The soldiers in front have stopped their actions. According to the information they have sent, they have occupied twelve villages and towns and two small castles, but have not suffered much resistance. According to the news from the soldiers who communicated, within a radius of hundreds of miles, many strong men seem to have been pulled away, and some small city defense teams do not pose any threat to the army at all.

The army did not stop too much. After sorting out all the supplies, it swept away more than 80% of the stored grain and other materials in the port warehouse. It was too lazy to leave too many people to take care of the unlucky port residents. The army slowly gathered together and began to drive towards a big city ninety miles away that the scouts discovered. According to Qiong Daotian's idea, it would be good to capture the city in at most five days, and then use it as a base to conquer about five cities within two months, so you can wait for the arrival of the subsequent troops to safely wait for the arrival of the subsequent troops. As for the navy fleet, after the last ship of grain was transported down, it retreated at full speed and prepared to support the next batch of troops. This time, a large-scale army of 1.7 million elite cavalry, bows, guns, swordsmen and other troops in the Western continent were mixed.

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The densely packed troops of ant colonies were covered with several nearby hills, and like a tide, it was black and rushing towards the unknown city. Qiong Daotian led a group of senior generals to take the lead, and first approached the city wall under the escort of a large number of iron-armored soldiers.

Long Feng clearly heard the extremely terrified shouts from the city wall, and from time to time there were clanging weapons falling off their hands and falling on the ground. The edge of the city was only five miles long, with a unique tower-shaped city tower on it, and the soldiers of the city defense team were trembling all over.

The roar sounded, and a cavalry legion of the army began to circumnavigate around the city wall. The collision of armor and weapons resounded throughout the world. With a "creak", there was no resistance. Several pale-faced soldiers opened the city gates. The Tian Dynasty army rushed forward and completely controlled the city in an instant. However, the city could only accommodate less than 50,000 soldiers, and the remaining soldiers could only station on the plains outside the city.

Fortunately, the young men of the Guards Group got the power to live in the city's houses. After all, they all have titles of big and small. Judging from the official system of the Celestial Dynasty, they are much stronger than ordinary senior generals. Qiong Daotian immediately captured the mayor and other small nobles here and began to interrogate.

After all, they fought against the Black Cloud Empire for more than ten years. Now some soldiers have learned the official terms of the Black Cloud Empire. At this moment, they just happened to interrogate these captured nobles.

Yang Tian, ​​Zeng Guoxuan and others were staring at the luxurious decorations on them wholeheartedly, thinking about how much gold and silver they could get from the jewelers in the Celestial Dynasty.

Qiong Daotian’s first question was: “Where are you here? Who belongs to? Why is the military power near you so weak?”

The mayor of this city is an old man with a goatee, with a triangular eyes flashing, black and yellow skin, and a treacherous and obscene face. He stammered: "We are Fort Kester, which belongs to the territory of the Great Duke Kester. The lands of the great Kingdom of St. Rosenth, but now they are under the control of the Black Cloud Empire... soldiers? Our soldiers have been pulled away, saying that there is another rebellion in the south, and the army led by a former marquis is to restore the Kingdom of St. Rosenth."

Qiong Daotian was very interested: "Really? All your soldiers were transferred away? In other words, there are no troops nearby?"

The mayor said honestly: "Yes, great marshal, our neighborhood is only two hundred miles away. There are still about 50,000 regular troops in the city directly under Lord Kest. In the past, the Duke had more than 500,000 troops under his command, but now they are used to conquer the rebels and cooperate with the Imperial Army to resist the monsters. No one is left, and there are no decent troops nearby."

Qiong Daotian and the generals were very happy. Except for Long Feng, no one cared about what they called monsters.

Qiong Daotian immediately ordered: "Let go overnight. Since this Grand Duke of Kest has only 50,000 regular troops at hand, then let's take down all his territory... Well, don't hurt the common people, but those nobles don't have to worry about them. From common sense, the people have no good feelings for the nobles, right? General Long?"

General Long, the commander of the "Tiger and Wolf Army", nodded: "Yes, it seems that the people here are similar to those of the Western continent, and the biggest contradiction in the Western continent is the conflict between the people and the nobles. They should not have a good relationship. If we deal with the nobles, the people will only support us. Of course, we can distribute some of our excess food, grass, money and goods to them..."

Yang Tian asked desperately: "Master Qiong, give me a chance to take the Guards regiment to the city directly under Lord Kest, and I guarantee that there will be no trouble... It's just 50,000 local militias, we're enough to deal with them."

Qiong Daotian naturally knew what Yang Tian and his men were trying to make. He agreed with a slight smile, and at the same time added 30,000 cavalry to Yang Tian’s guard regiment. Yang Tian was about to run away. Qiong Daotian quickly called them, pondered for a while, and ordered: "Let's do this, you can bring a few translators to promote that we are specifically for overthrow of the brutal rule of the Heiyun Empire and liberate their ordinary people. We can kill a few more nobles and distribute their property to the people, so as to facilitate our next march..."

After considering it for a while, Qiong Daotian finally instructed: "Since that city may be the largest nearby, we are also planning to use it as a stronghold and control the 300-mile range nearby. This place seems to be very rich these days, enough for our two million troops to spend two months and prepare sufficient food and grass for the army behind."

Yang Tian nodded and took the people out directly.

Lin Yiyun had already started to bluff: "Boss, we are getting rich now... No wonder they all said: Heroes come from troubled times... I don't act like a bullshit hero, it's good to be a rich man." A slutty laughter came into the hall and came into the ears of Qiong Daotian and others. Qiong Daotian curled his lips and smiled, and the other generals shrugged and pretended that they didn't hear it.

The sound of iron hooves sounded wildly again. The young master must have his own war horses. The 40,000 soldiers also had 10,000 cavalry. In addition, the 30,000 iron cavalry that Qiong Daotian has newly allocated to Yang Tian, ​​and the 80,000 people under Yang Tian already had 50,000 cavalry in his hands. So, Yang Tian directly ordered the non-cavalry troops to come slowly behind him, and led a large group of cavalry to rush out in a scorching manner... vaguely, the yellow colors in the eyes of those young masters could be seen.

After learning that Yang Tian was leading the people to set off, the old ghost in Hei Tian roared a few times, too lazy to notify Qiong Daotian. He quickly brought more than a dozen masters of the Dharma protectors and rode a fast horse to chase him. According to the matter that Yang Tian had discussed with him, countless beauties and jewelry were waiting in front. How could this old monk with wine and sex not be anxious?
