The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

As for the other strong men, they either hide in the deep mountains and old forests to seek the ultimate in swordsmanship, or travel around the world, constantly looking for strong men to challenge and sharpen their own strong hearts.

Or they simply shrunk their heads, ignored the war that had swept across nearly ten countries, and lived a life isolated from the city at ease.

As for forcing those strong men to come and serve, it can only be thought in the heart.

Every strong man has his own dignity, so how can he allow others to insult him, not to mention that the encirclement and suppression of the army has basically no effect on these strong men.

The situation in the dojo is not much better. After all, the rise time is too short, and some of his trustworthy powerhouses have no time to cultivate.

Although the skills given are all magic skills with great disadvantages, they can quickly achieve strength.

But there are still a small number of people who have such opportunities and talents.

Among the 20,000 Daoist disciples, although a large number of disciples with art masters have been absorbed, the number of people who can achieve the fourth level of cultivation is no more than a hundred.

That is 103 disciples, the number is too small.

But what is gratifying is that after the unification of the Three Kingdoms, Zhong Yu initiated the action of clearing up the cultivation world and incorporating them.

A large number of mountain temples and famous dojos were breached, and many wandering famous warriors and strong men who lived in seclusion in the mountains were all surrounded and forced to surrender by countless elites led by the strong men in the dojo.

These strong men are completely a hidden danger to Zhong Yu.

They are very famous and have a fairly deep mass base in various places. If they decide to rebel, they are likely to gather a large number of followers based on the gathering scene.

What's more, people with high military power are themselves a great threat to a stable regime, and it is unwise to abandon them outside the system.

If these strong men are persuaded by those hostile forces, whether it is to assassinate the high-level dojo or simply rebel, it is a threat that cannot be ignored.

So after deciding to attack them, Zhong Yu directly ordered the surrender to live and the resisters to die, there was no other way.

Once this order was issued, and it was carried out thoroughly, it can be said that one stone stirred up thousands of waves and set off countless twists and turns.

Those who can reach the fourth level are all strong with a strong sense of honor. They are all used to being loose, and they will obey the orders of a secular regime and let them drive around like slaves.

Therefore, the chaos and arrogance of the dojo really aroused the anger of those strong people. When they were cornered, they stood up and resisted.

However, for a well-prepared dojo, these resistances are just one pebble hitting a stone, and they will not cause much turmoil at all.

Many strong men fell in this catastrophe, and the remaining few strong men who received the news and fled ahead of time, or simply broke through with their own powerful strength, are also constantly creating turmoil in the dojo's territory.

However, these turmoil soon disappeared completely under the encirclement and suppression of more and more powerful pursuers.

In order to eliminate these powerhouses, it can be said that the dojo has paid a very high price, but the harvest is also huge.

Constantly and thoroughly clarified the Shinto belief forces in the Three Kingdoms, and either incorporated or uprooted them. Although many believers rose up to protest during the process, they were directly suppressed.

There are also countless strong men who were threatened by death, lowered their proud heads, and became a dog in the dojo who kept running for their lives.

Although these dogs are only a small part of those strong men, the number is already considerable.

There are about 150 original Tier 4 masters in the Three Kingdoms, and most of them were suppressed because of their resistance. There are also many remaining people who chose to seek refuge in order to survive, and the number is estimated to be more than 60.

Together with these people and some preparations in the dojo, there are already more than 160 fourth-tier masters.

This amount of master reserves is not so different from those coalition forces planning to resist the dojo, and it is also possible to fight head-on.

This time, there are a total of 20 world masters following Tomita Yoshinari.

Coupled with Tomita Yoshimoto's own fifth-level strength, in the confrontation of high-level forces, he has not lost the slightest disadvantage to the opposing coalition forces.

So after the war in the past few days, although the soldiers at the bottom were seriously injured, the high-level forces of the two sides were not much different, so the losses were not too great.

Due to the indiscriminate massacre of the extraordinary forces on both sides, the number of soldiers at the bottom dropped sharply.

Needless to say on the side of the coalition forces, the 8,000 cannon fodder who have not even entered the ranks have been killed or injured, and the remaining 8,000 first-rank elites are only left with more than 2,000 people.

The more than 2,000 warriors were not spared, and in the end only the remnant soldiers in the early thousand remained.

The war has reached this level, the coalition forces are no longer able to support them, and they are completely defeated.

The remaining more than 3,000 remnants fled all the way south, all the way to Shimadzu Castle in the Kawanaka Island area where the Murakami family lived, and then stayed.

As for the small wealthy families such as the local Takanashi family, they were completely ruthlessly abandoned, and even some of the northern territories of the Murakami family lost several cities.

After arriving at Shimadzu City, the coalition forces bought enough time by relying on the vast territory they gave up, and raised 20,000 reinforcements from the rear to rush to Shimadzu City, intending to use this as a second line of defense to block the attack of the dojo.

As for the attacking side, although the army under the command of the dojo is more elite, the loss is not as great as the coalition army, but it also lost a considerable part of its strength.

A total of 10,000 soldiers were buried in Iiyama City, but the rest of the soldiers have all advanced to the first level, and many people have made breakthroughs between life and death.

Because of practicing the exercises in the dojo, many people were able to absorb the life force of the enemy, condense their internal strength, and successfully advanced to the second level.

So now the dojo has about 6,000 second-tier soldiers, and about 9,000 first-tier soldiers, their strength should not be underestimated.

The Daochang army pursued along the retreat route of the powerful Shinano Kingdom, and soon captured some small cities that were not very powerful along the way.

However, due to the policy of the dojo, there will naturally be some massacres on the way, and the wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and decades will be destroyed.

Faced with the persecution between life and death, it is natural that people must rise up and resist, which delays a lot of time.

However, ten days later, the dojo army solved all the troubles and pushed the battle line to Shimadzu Castle again.

On the opposite side of it, the reorganized Shinano coalition forces have more than 20,000 troops. Although most of them are mobs, they are not so easy to defeat.

In the unknown dark place, an extremely powerful force is faintly gathering, and his goal is impressively pointing to the high-spirited dojo army that is breaking through the customs and slaughtering the city all the way.
