Chapter 207: Prepare for battle and march out

In fact, Wen Rui was not sure whether Great Joy Bodhisattva would personally take part in the battle. The previous rhetoric was mainly made up to dispel the concerns of several major sect leaders and trick them into bravely joining the battle.

He doesn't care whether he can win this war in the world of cultivation. As long as he can add fuel to the fire and get the two sides to fight, his strategic goal will be successfully achieved.

It would be best if the Great Joyful Bodhisattva personally came down and killed several of the Xianjiao's direct disciples, and lured the ancestors of several major sects out of seclusion to avenge their disciples, so that this shameless traitor of the Jiejiao could be solved once and for all.

Anyway, Wen Rui has the ability to shrink the earth on the surface and the curvature engine to jump in the air. When he sees that the situation is not good, he immediately runs away and escapes back to Lishan, where he hides under the skirt of Lishan Mother and trembles in fear.

Therefore, he would never take the lead as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. What he should do is to hide in the rear far away from the front line to ensure logistics.

Just deliver the goods, don't worry about dying.

Carry forward the traditional virtues of the world of immortal cultivation, and let my fellow Taoists die rather than myself.

Learn from Shen Gongbao's fighting spirit and deceive those who are going to take the blame.

After the Five Sects Conference ended, the war machine quickly started to operate. The leaders of the four major sects personally led their disciples to assemble in the western part of Jambu Continent.

As the Minister of Logistics, Wen Rui quickly built a temporary forward camp.

Civil engineering is the Jinling Sect's strong point. A large number of engineering robots and heavy machinery were invested, and the military camp was directly built into a fortress city.

The city defense formation was also set up, and a network of tunnels was dug underground in the fortress to allow the coalition forces to evacuate quickly after the city was breached.

Accommodation areas, training grounds, parade squares, and emergency centers are planned and built in the city, with all necessary facilities.

Even after the war is over, the fortified city made of reinforced concrete will always be preserved as a key military town for Nanzhanbuzhou to defend Xiniuhezhou, and will be garrisoned for a long time.

As the commander-in-chief, Xue Bao was no weakling. The military knowledge inherited from several generals of the Chan sect, including Wei Hu, Han Dulong, and Xue Ehu, came in handy. He quickly reorganized the coalition forces and appointed officers and lieutenants at all levels.

When Xue Bao heard that Rui had contributed the unique secret battle formation of Jiejiao, he was overjoyed and organized the monks of various sects to practice diligently in preparation for officially sending troops to Xiniu Hezhou to attack the territory of Dingguang Immortal Sect.

Preparations for war were carried out in an orderly manner, and propaganda work was also promoted simultaneously. In restaurants and teahouses in major cities in Jambu Continent, lectures on "The Legend of Joyful Demon Slaying" were given to preach to the human race about the righteous cause of the four major sects of the Chan religion to fight against the Western religion.

"The Story of Joyful Demon Slayer" is the sequel to the previous popular storytelling "The Story of True Love Bandit Slayer".

"True Love and the Bandit Slayer" tells the mythical story of Gu Changfeng who avenges his beloved wife, establishes an anti-bandit alliance, and fights bravely against the Dingguang Rabbit Bandits who are killing people in a guerrilla war.

The story of "The Story of Punishing Bandits" is full of ups and downs, especially in the early stage when the Rabbit Suppression Alliance was in the sphere of influence of the Rabbit bandits and was surrounded by powerful enemies, and united the local suffering people.

We must constantly use guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, mobile warfare, sparrow warfare, and harassment warfare to weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves.

Eventually, a base was established to rescue the mortals who were enslaved. With the support of all living beings, the spark began to spread like wildfire.

"The Legend of Joyful Demon Slayer" continues the story of "The Legend of True Love Bandit Slayer", opening with the battle in which the Rabbit Suppression Alliance breaks through the base camp of the Dingguang rabbit bandits' core area, and focuses more on grand narrative.

The unremitting efforts of the Rabbit Suppression Alliance finally gained the recognition of the four major sects of the Chan Sect. The Chan Sect monks united to bring justice to the descendants of the Demon King hiding in the Western Sect. It has a simple value of "good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the righteous path of the world is vicissitudes!"

The story of "True Love and the Bandit Slayer" describes how the rabbit bandits set up a breeding farm to force mortal women to give birth and breed slaves for them. The thrilling, bloody, cruel and dark scenes were presented very straightforwardly because there was no censorship mechanism, which attracted a large number of listeners.

Regardless of the purpose of these listeners' coming to listen, after listening they all expressed the deepest criticism of the Dingguang Rabbit Bandits, believing that the disciples of the Dingguang Immortal Sect were more demonic than the demons.

The opening chapter of "The Legend of Joyful Demon Slayer" also describes the tragic scenes witnessed by the team members when they broke through the Iron Wheel City, and also adds some tearful self-narration from the victimized female cultivators of the sect, highlighting the lawless and crazy faces of the Rabbit Bandits.

When the story progresses to the part where the four great immortal sects are preparing for war, it arouses people's expectations for the sequel of the myth. People all hope that good will prevail over evil, that justice will come from heaven, and that severe punishment will be imposed on the extremely evil bandits who have been plaguing the Southern Continent for many years.

"The Story of Joyful Demon Slayer" became an instant hit upon its release, and in many cities, streets were deserted with people flocking to listen to the storytelling.

The resulting chain reaction made it even more difficult for monks from other Western religious sects, who were already making slow progress in infiltrating the Central Plains during this period.

Not to mention preaching, there was even a riot where ordinary people spontaneously destroyed the newly built Western religious temples.

The people who were unable to accurately distinguish the branches of the Western Church sects blamed the evil done by the Dingguang rabbit bandits on other Western Church disciples, and vented their anger against the rabbit bandits on the innocent Western Church disciples.

As a result of this incident, it is conservatively estimated that the progress of Western religion's missionary work in Jambudvīpa would be delayed by hundreds of years.

Following Wen Rui's suggestion, the allied commander Xue Bao did not rush to send troops, but trained the disciples of the four major sects for a full six months.

The first measure was to break up the original organization and establish team combat teams.

The team is fully staffed with twenty people. The sword and magic disciples of Zi Yang Immortal Sect serve as fire support and snipers, the physical cultivation disciples of Jin Ting Immortal Sect serve as main attackers, the formation cultivation disciples of Yun Xiao Immortal Sect serve as defenders, and the disciples of Yu Ding Immortal Sect serve as medical soldiers.

The puppets of the Jinling Sect carry the heavy load and serve as cannon fodder for attacking enemies. They also serve as signalmen to coordinate the air force, that is, the Jinling Fleet. They can call for bombing support or rescue airships to take them out of danger.

The captain of each team is a member of the Rabbit Suppression Alliance. These members have been fighting against the rabbit bandits for many years, are well versed in the Dingguang Immortal Sect's tactics, and are also very familiar with the terrain of Xiniu Hezhou.

Wen Rui donated generously, and all the food and fodder and other logistical supplies for this war were provided free of charge by the Chamber of Commerce, especially the life-saving magic medicine Golden Spirit Holy Liquid, every monk participating in the war could receive a bottle.

However, the condition of the exchange is that the Dingguang prisoners captured in this battle will be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce for disposal.

While carrying out pre-war propaganda and training of soldiers, the intelligence war was not delayed either, and intelligence was continuously collected from mortals who had defected to the Rabbit Suppression Alliance in the area controlled by the Dingguang Rabbit Bandits.

The Jinling UAV also frequently conducts high-altitude reconnaissance and filming, collecting information on cities, terrain, rivers, major transportation routes, troop deployments, and other areas within the core area of the Dingguang Xianzong.

After more than half a year of preparation, the Allied Commander Xue Bao believed that the time was ripe and decided to hold a swearing-in ceremony to assemble the five sects' coalition forces to march towards Xiniu Hezhou.

send troops!
