Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the far west of the Sui Kingdom, it was a wasteland with perennial water and rain shortages, sparse vegetation, harsh living environment, and no human habitation for thousands of miles.

There is a small village near the Sui Kingdom. There are only a few dozen people in the village, and they make a living by hunting small insects and beasts in the wasteland.

On this day, in this wasteland, the ground suddenly vibrated, as if thousands of horses were galloping, and a "rumbling" sound came from a distance.

The villagers in the small village didn't know what happened. They stood blankly on the spot, standing on tiptoes, stretching their necks and looking to the west.

After a long time, I finally saw a black tide appearing on the western horizon, connecting to the sky, and rushing towards this direction.

"ah!"

"Run away!"

Although everyone didn't know what was coming turbulently in front of them, everyone knew that this kind of thing that was like the power of God was definitely very dangerous.

Everyone in the small village was in a mess at the moment, hugging the chickens and ducks at home, carrying the old lady on their backs, or holding two barefoot children on their hands, and fled eastward in a panic.

It's just that their speed was too slow, or the black tide behind them was too fast. Dozens of figures were soon overtaken by the black tide and submerged.

After the tide passed, the place became desolate, with only some scattered white bones left on the ground, and even the marrow had been sucked dry.

This tide of black water poured directly into the Sui Kingdom, and it was only then that people saw clearly that it turned out to be an army of demons.

After the demon army arrived in the Sui Kingdom, it was like entering an uninhabited land. The Sui army did not make any resistance and immediately surrendered to the demon army, which in turn helped suppress the human forces that dared to resist.

Even the Sui Hou, who had always been domineering, actually led his men out of the city to greet the demon army when it arrived.

The people of the Sui Kingdom were desperate, but they didn't know that their top military officials had long been possessed by the Shadow Demon, and even their leader, the Marquis of Sui, had been replaced a long time ago.

The entire Sui Kingdom has been riddled with holes by demons over the years, and even the slightest bit of power has been controlled by demons.

After the demon army arrived in the Sui Kingdom, it encountered little resistance and easily occupied the entire Sui Kingdom.

After the demons occupied the Sui Kingdom, the people of the Sui Kingdom immediately became food for the demons.

Today I saw this one with thin skin and tender meat. I grabbed it and ate it raw without even washing it. It was like chewing a radish in my hand.

Tomorrow I saw this one which was quite old and should be very chewy, so I grabbed it and ate it raw again.

The human race living in the Sui Kingdom immediately fell into a life of darkness, like pigs and sheep in captivity, unable to control their own destiny, and their lives may be in danger at any time.

Sometimes, the residents of an entire village are killed by the demon at once, and their blood is sucked away, or all their essence is sucked away.

Some residents of the Sui State who were lucky enough to escape could only continue to flee eastward and enter the neighboring Lu State.

The news that the demons had captured the Sui Kingdom also spread to the Lu Kingdom.

Zhang He had previously asked the Shadow Pavilion to send people to keep an eye on news about the Sui Kingdom. At this time, he already had general information on the demon army.

In order to obtain this information, Shadow Pavilion also lost several people.

The strength of the demon army far exceeded his expectations.

Faced with the crisis of national subjugation and genocide, we must fight even if we cannot defeat it.

"Ma Gan, prepare to assemble the army and be on standby at any time!"

After Zhang He and Ma Gan gave instructions, they immediately flew towards Tongtai City of the Qi family with their swords.

"Hey! Fellow Daoist Zhang, have you eaten? Do you want to eat some together?"

The ancestor of the Qi family was sitting in front of a table, chewing on a roasted whole lamb. This guy's teeth were so good that he could even bite the bones of the lamb and suck out the marrow.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you have a great appetite. How about I take you to eat monster meat?"

The ancestor of the Qi family immediately became interested after hearing this. He naturally knew that the demon army had taken over the Sui Kingdom.

"I wonder what Daoyou Zhang has planned? I heard that the demon army is extremely powerful and not easy to deal with."

"We have to fight even if we can't. Otherwise, Lu State will also be crushed by the army of demons. Where will you and I go? Where will we have a foothold?"

When Zhang He said this, his expression became firm, and a surge of pride surged up.

"I think instead of staying here and waiting for the demons to come and attack, we should take the initiative and meet the enemies outside our homes."

After hearing this, the ancestor of the Qi family thought for a while and figured out the connection.

Taking the initiative now, at least the battlefield is elsewhere and will not cause damage to one's own territory.

If we put the monsters in the southern area and fight again, the southern part may also be beaten into a puddle of mud.

The two immediately sat together and discussed for a long time, and then the ancestor of the Qi family also gathered his people and prepared to drive directly to the boundary river.

At the same time, in the name of Zhang He and the ancestors of the Qi family, an invitation was sent to all forces in the Lu State to go to Jiehe to defend the enemy from the country's gate.

Three days later, an army set out from the south of Lu State. Although the armies marched together, they were clearly separated. It could be seen at a glance that they were two armies tied together.

The team was obviously divided into two parts. The people in the back were uneven, with various clothes and weapons, and they walked sparsely and out of formation.

But the 1,000 people walking at the front were completely different. They were neatly arrayed and all wore the same style of armor.

The armors on these thousand people are all of the magic weapon level. If calculated according to the market price, each set of armor is worth at least 100 spiritual stones from head to toe.

These 1,000 sets will cost 10,000 spiritual stones when converted into spiritual stones.

Each person also carries at least one or two magic weapons on his body, which are used for offense or defense in battle.

Such one or two thousand magic weapons would cost more than 100,000 spiritual stones.

The ancestor of the Qi family looked at these 1,000 black water troops and couldn't help but marvel.

"Zhang Daoyou, this black water army, really envy me to death! Looking at this equipment in the entire Lu Kingdom, it will be difficult to find another one!"

"Fellow Daoist Qi, I'm grateful. It's just the ore produced at home. I happened to have a few incompetent weapon refiners under my command, so I made some useless magic weapons for the army."

Zhang He spoke very modestly, but the ancestor of the Qi family felt his eyebrows twitch.

His Qi family also had a mine, so why couldn't he refine so many magical weapons to equip the army?

To raise a large family, there are countless mouths to eat, resources to practice, and the ores produced have to be sold in exchange for various elixirs, spiritual grains and other consumables.

But everyone has secrets, and it’s hard for him to keep asking.

In fact, Zhang He's Blackwater Army now has 2,000 people, but only half of them have been brought out here. There are also a large number of militiamen who stay in Heishui County to look after the house.

On the way to Jiehe, the coalition forces composed of the Zhang and Qi families will pass through the territories of some other forces along the way.

Both of them will go to visit the families along the way and persuade everyone to go to the boundary river to resist the demon army.

Some families along the way happily sent troops to accompany them, making the team larger and larger, but some families were unwilling to participate.

They can't force this kind of thing, it's all voluntary. For those who don't want to participate, Zhang He can't say anything. He can only write it down in a small notebook and talk about it later.
