After using various bright or less visible means to stabilize the interior, the expeditionary force made all preparations for departure.
Immediately, a nationwide large-scale propaganda campaign began.
The Heiyun people who madly advocated evil had brought so much disaster to them.
It was simply bitterness and hatred.
The Heiyun Empire was simply the enemy of the entire human race.
In order to liberate the Heiyun people, The people under the rule of the Yun Empire were in dire straits, and the army had no choice but to use weapons again.
At the same time, the son-in-law is about to set off on an expedition to the overseas continent for the sake of his glory.
This is their personal pride, and it is also the pride of their family.
It is even more proud of the son-in-law, because with such a son-in-law, he can naturally be strong forever.
This eloquent propaganda campaign has lasted for half a year, and everyone has unified into one voice: fight across the sea, kill the Black Cloud Empire, and save all the people who are suffering under their evil and bloody rule.
And the people also began to look forward to the good prospects that the minerals from the three continents under the jurisdiction of the Black Cloud Empire would bring to them with the use of scientific and technological means.
Naturally, there is no need to be careful with this kind of propaganda activity.
Even if the Black Cloud Empire has spies in the mainland, they will not be able to send this news back.
A total of ten thousand warships of various types were densely packed in the outer waters of Jiangcheng.
The most exaggerated among them is the giant dragon boat that is more than two hundred feet long.
Although it is made of wood, it has an amazing carrying capacity.
The expeditionary army's first batch of two million soldiers, 370,000 horses, and the food and grass needed to last three months have all been loaded on board.
Going from the mainland to the territory of the Black Cloud Empire requires more than two months of wandering at sea, so in fact, after the army lands all the way, they have to collect food and grass on the spot.
To put it bluntly, it is to snatch grain and grass from the hands of the natives.
According to the words of several notoriously bad-tempered generals: "I snatch their grain and grass to give them face.
It makes sense that they should take the initiative to send it to us." ” As the army set off at the same time, there were 1,800 new artillery pieces and a large amount of ordnance.
Emperor Tianyou didn't say much nonsense at the swearing-in ceremony, he just said: "I hope that your names can be enshrined in the Hall of Heroes in the Holy Capital in the future."
In Yang Tian's surprised eyes, this short sentence made the two Millions of soldiers howled wildly, and even the sea trembled slightly from the huge sound waves.
At the moment, 10,000 warships slowly sailed away.
Among them, a thousand specialized fast warships left the team first.
They were going to the other side of the strait to replace the previous batch of garrison fleets, and the replacement navy would be replaced in Jiangcheng.
After boarding the new warship, follow the second batch of armies to set off to meet them.
According to the plan, within half a year, all 6.7 million expeditionary troops will arrive in the Black Cloud Empire.
The task of the first batch of armies was to open up a base area, occupy about ten of their cities, and accumulate grain, war horses, minerals, labor, etc.
Extremely lucky, the Holy Dragon Guards were arranged to join the army.
Originally, a group of big guys such as Grand Scholar Zeng were unwilling to let their precious little ones set off with the army, but their precious sweethearts were so bewitched by Yang Tian and Long Feng that they seemed to be in a trance as long as they landed on the territory of the Black Cloud Empire. , they can get a lot of gold, silver, and beautiful women with a lot of money.
They fought hard and finally got the opportunity to start.
The Guards regiment, which has expanded to 50,000 people, is currently being loaded into the thirteen dragon boats at the front.
The soldiers from the Tiger and Wolf Army are carrying out daily physical exercises on the deck with solemn expressions, while the young men are going on outings.
They usually sat on the railings, masts, and angles and laughed constantly.
On the bow of the fleet flagship Shenglong outside Li Xu, Qiong Daotian looked at the weird performances of the young men of the Guards with a headache, and began to regret that he had found a big trouble on his hands.
Just to the left of the flagship, on a huge and ridiculously luxurious dragon boat, a dozen young dancers were singing and dancing, waving the big red feather fans in their hands.
A skinny old guy with a face full of black wrinkles and a shiny head Sitting on the big armchair at the bow of the boat, he clapped his hands and laughed, while a few bald heads were serving tea and wine beside him, very respectfully.
This specially made dragon boat carried the old ghost Krishna and nine thousand disciples of the Mahakala Sect. . .
Black Sky Old Ghost actually fulfilled his promise and carefully selected nine thousand monks and mages to accompany him.
Basically, all the essence of his own sect was on this ship.
On the dragon boat on the right side of the flagship are the Danshi from the Da Nei Wangtian Pavilion and the junior mages of their respective schools.
Under the attack and exclusion of the Black Sky Sect, their power has become weaker and weaker.
The number of magicians with certain strength gathered now is only a thousand, so they were arranged on this dragon boat, together with the selected masters of the Enshrinement Hall and Martial arts masters from all over the world crowded together.
The masters of many sects come from the same boat from the fifth generation.

The official responsible for recruiting them put it very well: "If you perform meritorious service, you can be appointed an official; if you resist the decree, the whole family will be executed."
There are cases of gangs being exterminated in various places.
Next, these aristocratic sects wisely chose the path of accompanying the army on the expedition.
They also have self-confidence: at the very least, it is easy to survive on the battlefield relying on their own martial arts. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It was calm along the way.
The soldiers trained in shifts on the deck every day, and their desolate songs shook the sea far and near.
Long Feng frowned while listening to their songs, and vaguely heard that it was a pirated version of Manjianghong-gai and a murderous unknown song.
In the song, the huge fleet passed side by side with the previous batch of garrison fleets that had changed their defenses; the fleet passed through the calm and calm Qinfeng Strait; the fleet entered the sea, which was light grass green and blue yellow, and was close to the territory of the Black Cloud Empire of sea areas.
After continuing for seven days, a line of land appeared in sight, and dots of triangular white sails also appeared on the horizon.
Sharp whistles and powerful horns sounded wildly, and small speedboats ten feet long were lowered from the large dragon boats one after another.
Navy soldiers boarded these small ships suitable for close combat to seize the beach.
The shiny barrels of small artillery protruded from the hidden square holes around the dragon boat.
The sound of footsteps echoed through all the dragon boats and battleships.
The infantry soldiers moved their itchy muscles and bones with murderous intent, raised their swords and guns amidst the crackling of their joints, and mounted huge siege crossbows.
It's covered with dragon boats.
The young men of the Guards cheered and put on their refined armor one after another.
They stood up on the deck with great dignity, waved their swords, and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill, Grab, grab, grab.”
The military judges on the flagship asked Qiong Daotian with gloomy faces: "Master Hou, what should they do if they violate military law?"
Qiong Daotian smiled and cleared away his responsibilities: "I don't care about this issue.
I am only in charge of the first army...
All the overall military power still lies with Marshal Wen.
This issue, you guys I need to ask him for advice.
Although the Guards Group is my direct subordinate.
It’s their composition.
Well, you know that, no matter who you offend, you won’t get the consequences.
In other words, it’s just a child’s fault to grab something for the first time in a war.
It doesn’t matter how much a group of young men can take away, so don’t be nervous.”
After saying this nonsense, Qiong Daotian's expression changed, and he roared with murderous intent: "However, if any officers and soldiers who are not members of the Guards violate military law, I will kill them severely."
The military judges agreed with a loud voice, In my mind, I naturally attribute the Guards to the type of Hedgehog Legion.
Three hours later, the smooth sailing fleet approached the mainland of the Black Cloud Empire.
The small red house with a pointed roof covered by green trees on the mainland could already be seen with the naked eye.
The fishermen on board hundreds of small fishing boats screamed in surprise, turning the bows of their boats and fleeing towards the land.
They had never seen such a strange fleet, especially the flying boats on each fleet.
The flag made them feel even more chilly and frightened: it was a black dragon with blood-red eyes, and a sharp bloody sword was firmly held in its right claw.
Below him, there were monstrous waves.
The fleet slowly approached, and their small fishing boat ran away in a mad panic.
Just when they were about to escape into the port, a huge wave mixed with black flames rolled up from the ground and hit them hard.
On a fishing boat.
The old ghost Heitian smiled strangely, a small spire in his hand emitted black light, and traces of howling souls were extracted from the sea water and sucked in.
On the dragon boat where the alchemists of Wangtian Pavilion were sitting, a handsome young mage raised his eyebrows and was about to take action.
The old Taoist beside him pinched his back hard and whispered: "Golden Sheep, Stop, you can't win now He... is just a few people from a foreign country, don't act rashly, his eyes filled with murderous intent glared at the cheerful old ghost one by one.
He loosened his sword.
The place where the fleet was preparing to land was a small port city.
At this moment, a city defense team of about two thousand people gathered on the pier amidst the sound of alarm bells.
However, when their commander saw that the city defense team basically covered the outside of the port, The huge fleet on the sea gave a wise order: "Everyone, abandon the city and run away.
Hurry, the people from the northern continent We are here for revenge, run."

As soon as he finished speaking, several huge fireballs fell on his side, and more than two hundred people were instantly reduced to ashes.
At the same time, the artillery carried by the fleet also roared.
The entire city slowly burned, collapsed, and turned into nothing as the fireball exploded, the ground shook, and people ran in panic.
Qiong Daotian had already put on his full body armor at this moment, and his mount, a bloody horse, also neighed lowly and scratched its hooves impatiently beside him.
Qiong Daotian's voice seemed to come from hell, and he issued a cold order: "Brigade, land and control all nearby villages and towns.
Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy.
Collect all their food, grass and supplies, and leave them to Their most basic daily necessities are sufficient.”
The flagship took the lead and docked on the port pier.
The huge hull immediately occupied all the positions in this small port that could allow the ship's crew to unload cargo.
The other ships immediately had no choice but to land on the beach.
The old ghost Heitian ignored these trivial matters at all.
He had already laughed maniacally and flew into the sky, letting the newly cast ghost tower in his hand madly absorb the undead below.
Seeing the tower in his hand slowly glowing, the old ghost Heitian felt proud, laughed wildly, and almost fell from the sky.
The soldiers silently got from the fleet's big ship to the small boat and rushed to the beach.
Then, under the leadership of their own leaders, the whole team quickly advanced in all directions.
The mission of the 1.5 million soldiers is to wipe out all the resistance forces of the Black Cloud Empire within a hundred miles within two days.
Because we don’t know whether this is the original territory of the Black Cloud Empire or another continent that was later invaded, we must be prepared for the local army to resist vigorously.
The other remaining soldiers used this port to transport the remaining food and supplies ashore to prepare an advancing base.
The navy's detectors quickly disembarked from the ship, and under the protection of a large group of soldiers, began to survey and record the nearby topography, etc., looking for natural harbors that might accommodate more fleets to land.
In the rush, three days passed.
The soldiers at the front have stopped moving.
According to the information they sent, they have occupied twelve villages and two small castles, but they have not encountered much resistance yet.
According to the news from the soldiers who communicated, it seems that many strong men within a radius of a hundred miles have been transferred away, and the few city defense teams do not pose any threat to the army at all.
The army did not stop too much along the way.
After sorting out all the supplies, they took away more than 80% of the stored grain and other supplies in the port warehouse.
They were too lazy to leave too many manpower to take care of the unlucky port residents who might have survived.
The army slowly gathered together and began to move towards a large city ninety miles away that the scouts had discovered.
According to Qiong Daotian's idea, it would take at most five days to capture this city, and then use it as a base.
It would be good to capture five cities within two months, and then you can wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops with peace of mind.
As for the naval fleet, after the last shipment of food was delivered, it retreated at full speed to prepare for the next batch of troops.
This time, it was a large-scale force composed of 1.7 million elite cavalry, bows, spears, swordsmen and other troops from the Western Continent. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Troops as densely packed as ant colonies covered several nearby hills, and they were as dark as a tide and were heading towards the unknown city.
Qiong Daotian led a group of senior generals to take the lead and approached the city wall first, escorted by a large number of armored sergeants.
Long Feng clearly heard the extremely frightened shouts coming from the city wall, and from time to time there was the sound of weapons falling off their hands and falling to the ground.
This city is no more than five miles long on a side, with a unique tower-shaped tower above it, and a sparse number of soldiers from the city defense team shivering all over it.
With the roaring sound, the only cavalry legion in the army began to circle around the city wall crazily, and the collision of armor and weapons resounded throughout the world.
With a creaking sound and without any resistance, a few pale-faced soldiers opened the city gate, and the army suddenly surged in, taking complete control of the city in an instant.
However, the city can only accommodate less than 50,000 soldiers, and the remaining soldiers can only be stationed in the plains outside the city.
Fortunately, the young men of the Guards have been given the right to live freely in the city's residential buildings.
After all, they all have titles.
From the official position system, they are much better than ordinary high-ranking generals.
Qiong Daotian immediately arrested the mayor and a bunch of minor nobles here, and began to interrogate them.
After all, after more than ten years of fighting with the Black Cloud Empire in the Western Continent, some soldiers have learned the official language of the Black Cloud Empire, and they are now questioning the captured nobles.
Yang Tian, Zeng Guoxuan and others were watching eagerly from the side, staring intently at the luxurious decorations on their bodies, calculating how much gold and silver they could exchange for from the jeweler.
Qiong Daotian's first question was: "Who does your place belong to?
Why is the military force near you so weak?"

The mayor of this city is an old man with a goatee, flashing triangular eyes, black and yellow skin, and a treacherous and lewd face.
He hesitated and said: "We are here in Kerstburg, which belongs to Kerstburg."
The territory of the great duke was formerly Wei.
The land of the great Saint Rosens Kingdom is now under the control of the Black Cloud Empire.
Our soldiers have been mobilized.
It is said that there is another rebellion in the south.
It is an army led by a former marquis.
To restore the Kingdom of St.
Rosens."
Qiong Daotian was very interested: "It's true that all your soldiers have been mobilized.
In other words, there are no troops around here."
The mayor said honestly: "Yes, great marshal, our neighborhood is only two hundred miles away now, and the city directly under Lord Kester still has a standing army of about 50,000 people.
In the past, the Duke Your Majesty has more than half a million troops, but they are all used to conquer the rebels and cooperate with the imperial army to fight against those monsters.
There are no decent troops nearby. " Qiong Daotian and a group of generals were happy.
Except for Long Feng, no one cares about what they call monsters.
Qiong Daotian immediately ordered: "Set out overnight.
Since the Grand Duke of Kuster only has 50,000 regular troops at hand, let's take down all his territory...
Well, don't hurt the civilians, but those Don’t worry about the nobles.
According to common sense, the common people don’t have a good impression of the nobles, isn’t it General Long?”
General Long, the commander of the Tiger and Wolf Army, nodded: "Yes, it seems that the people here are similar to those in the Western Continent, and the biggest conflict in the Western Continent is the conflict between the common people and the nobles.
They should not have a good relationship.
When we deal with the nobles, the people will only support us.
Of course, we can distribute some of our extra food, grass, and money to them."
Yang Tian begged for help desperately: "Commander Qiong, give me a chance to take the Guards to the city directly under Lord Kester.
I guarantee there will be no trouble...
It's just 50,000 local militiamen.
We have enough to deal with them.”
Qiong Daotian naturally knew what Yang Tian and the others had planned, so he agreed with a sinister smile, and at the same time added 30,000 cavalry to Yang Tian's Guards Regiment.
Yang Tian and others were about to run away, but Qiong Daotian quickly stopped them, thought for a while, and ordered: "Let's do this.
You can bring a few interpreters to spread the word that we are specifically to overthrow the brutal rule of the Black Cloud Empire and liberate They are ordinary people, so they can kill a few more nobles and distribute their property to the people, which will facilitate our next march."
After thinking about it for a while, Qiong Daotian finally gave instructions: "Since that city may be the largest nearby, we are also going to use it as a stronghold.
At the same time, it is enough to control the area of 300 miles nearby.
This place, these days, It seems to be very rich, enough for our two million troops to survive for two months, and to prepare sufficient food and fodder for the army behind. " Yang Tian nodded and led the people out directly.
Lin Yiyun had already begun to bluff: "Boss, now we are rich...
No wonder they all say: Heroes emerge from troubled times...
I don't want to be a bullshit hero, it's good to be a rich man."
It was so obscene for a while.
The extremely loud laughter passed into the hall and reached the ears of Qiong Daotian and others.
Qiong Daotian curled his lips and smiled.
The other generals shrugged their shoulders and pretended not to hear.
The sound of iron hooves sounded crazily again.
The young master must have his own war horse.
The 40,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalry, plus the 30,000 cavalry newly assigned by Qiong Daotian to Yang Tian, eight of Yang Tian's subordinates There are already 50,000 cavalry among the 10,000 men.
So, Yang Tian directly ordered the non-cavalry troops to wander slowly behind, and he led a large group of cavalry to rush out. . .
Vaguely, you can vaguely see the yellow color in the eyes of those young masters.

After learning that Yang Tian was setting off, Old Ghost Heitian roared several times and did not bother to notify Qiong Daotian.
He quickly led a dozen of the disciples who were protecting the law and chased after him on fast horses.
According to what Yang Tian had discussed with him, countless beauties and jewelry were waiting in front.
How could we not make this drunken old monk anxious?
The army suddenly chose the right location to land.
There are great plains for thousands of miles around here, which are especially suitable for cavalry charges.
So, the 50,000 cavalry and the small tails of more than a dozen people behind them rushed towards the unlucky man without any hindrance.
The city belonging to the Grand Duke of Kester is a wonderful city called the Paradise City in the local language
