Time flies, half a month later, Osaka Castle.
Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes, and then checked the attribute table. The human race's primary water spirit bloodline had been upgraded to the intermediate level, with a proficiency of 17%. Due to the increase in bloodline level, Ling Feng's dragon transformation situation has eased.
In addition, Tianyang Blood Fusion Technique has also been upgraded to LV5, with a proficiency of 56%.
The reason why Ling Feng's cultivation improved so quickly was because Ling Feng's pure Yang Qi and blood were incredibly rich, and the Pure Yang martial soul had reached the peak of the martial arts, so the growth rate of Qi was hundreds of times that of ordinary warriors.
Moreover, when others reach the blood-melting realm, they still need to fuse the true blood of pure Yang beasts, and then continuously stimulate the concentration of their own blood and purify their own true energy. And since he had already merged with the Zhulong bloodline and reached the fifth level, he naturally skipped this level, so his cultivation speed was far beyond that of ordinary warriors. If he hadn't intentionally controlled and purified his cultivation, he would have reached the seventh level at this moment.
A moment later, he came to the martial arts field for a military parade. Lin Ziyi, Zhou Tong, Hu Tie and other Dragon Guard commanders were training soldiers at this time.
These soldiers are practicing a set of third-level wild wave sword techniques. The moves are uniform and the sword skills are sharp. Most of them have already entered the palace.
What made Ling Feng especially happy was that all the soldiers had broken through to the level of warriors, and with good internal strength, the dragon whale meat was not wasted in vain.
After half a month of training, not only the cultivation level, but also the overall quality of all soldiers has undergone a transformation. They follow orders and prohibitions, have high morale, cooperate with each other tacitly, and their combat effectiveness has improved to a higher level than half a month ago.
Of course, the reason why we can reach this level is not only the supply of dragon whale meat, but also the treatment promised by Ling Feng. The treatment of all soldiers in the headquarters is three times that of ordinary soldiers. Weapons, armor, exercises, meals, every aspect is improved. They are the best, and they teach excellent skills for free. All soldiers have a path to advancement. As long as they are promoted to warriors, they can get land and arrange marriages. If you can advance to the innate level, you will be able to obtain a fiefdom and be gifted with innate skills.
Because of this, these 30,000 soldiers of the headquarters are absolutely loyal to Ling Feng. Because only Ling Feng can guarantee their interests, it would be too difficult for them to get such an opportunity if they were to change to another famous name. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many wandering warriors.
The basis of daimyo's rule is land, so they will not be easily divided up. Moreover, the martial arts and swordsmanship control the martial arts halls of various schools, so it is difficult for poor people and people from poor families to get ahead.
After Ling Feng completed the military parade, he was very satisfied and was ready to send troops.
At this time, with half a month's buffer, the people, aristocratic families, sects, and the imperial court had begun to accept Ling Feng's rule in the Kinki region. Some families with dissident intentions had also been dispatched by Ling Feng's Dragon Guards and Dragon Whale Guards. Clear it, you don’t have to worry anymore.
As Ling Feng issued the order, more than a dozen daimyo, including Maeda Toshiie, Nakamura Kazushi, and Ikoma Chimasa, also responded to his call and came with an army of 100,000 people.
Although Ling Feng's troops have reached 100,000, in order to maintain the rule of the Kinki region, he did not mobilize too many troops. He only led the Dragon Guard, Dragon Whale Guard, 30,000 elite troops from his headquarters, and 100,000 troops from his daimyo to attack Tokugawa Hidetada moved to Edo, the capital of the eight states.
Ling Feng did not rush to attack, but attacked the four countries along the way, including Iga, Ise, Shima, and Omi.
There are three major ninja families in Iga country: Hattori, Hyakuchi and Fujibayashi. The Udo family moved to Kanto with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the Fujibayashi family had declined. At this time, the Momochi family controlled Iga country.
The Hyakuchi family is powerful, with more than ten jounin (innate), hundreds of chuunin (samurai), and thousands of genin (warriors). The leader of the clan, Momo Masanishi, Tanba Momochi, is equivalent to the top ninja in the martial arts realm. Facing Ling Feng's attack, he gathered more than 10,000 troops (including peasant soldiers) and prepared to defend the city.
However, Ling Feng held the Kusanagi sword and slashed through the city gate with one sword, and killed Baidi Zhengxi in the later period of Wu Zong with another sword. Then Yin Heguo completely collapsed and quickly surrendered. There is a huge gap between the two in terms of military and high-level combat power. There is no need for a fight. It is just a one-sided massacre!
Subsequently, the entire Baidi family was wiped out!
When the other three countries learned the information, they were frightened and looked down on the wind.
Ling Feng took advantage of the situation and took over the four countries, and used the lock heart seal to control the daimyo, fan lords and family governors of the four countries. It only took him one day to rest and recuperate, and then he coerced the forces of the daimyo of the four countries and continued to attack the Kanto region.
In just three days, Ling Feng conquered Mino Country, Owari Country, Mikawa Country, Shinano Country and other countries with overwhelming force, and his sphere of influence already occupied one-third of Toyi Country. If you add in the territories of daimyo such as the Kagaban of Maeda Toshiie, the Suruga Kingdom of the Nakamura Ichi clan, and the Sanuki Kingdom of Ikoma Oshimasa, Ling Feng's power territory has already accounted for most of Toyi's territory, and the general situation has become !
As news of Ling Feng's successive victories spread, the daimyo in the Kansai region who were prepared to wait and see sent envoys one after another to express their surrender to Ling Feng.
The situation of the Kwantung Allied Forces headed by Tokugawa Hidetada took a turn for the worse. Some daimyo directly withdrew from the alliance, and many other daimyo were shaken in their hearts. Only a few daimyo who had a deep hatred for Ling Feng remained unwavering.
At this time, Edo Castle, the main city of the Tokugawa Iaguchi Territory, was in the main hall.
"Now that Horio Yoshiharu's traitors are about to attack, has Lord Seimei's body returned to its peak?"
Tokugawa Hidetada said with a respectful expression. At this time, the situation took a turn for the worse and he could not sit still.
Abe Seimei nodded slightly and said: "You don't have to worry, I already have a proper way. As long as you follow my plan, I guarantee that I can get rid of that person. At that time, I have free hands, and no matter how many troops there are, they are just ants." .”
After all, Abe Seimei is a legendary figure with extremely high prestige. After hearing this, Tokugawa Hidetada immediately felt relieved and respectfully sent Abe Seimei off.
Immediately, he summoned his generals and civil servants to actively prepare for war.
Although the coalition forces lost a large area of territory, the loss of military strength was actually not large. Many daimyo saw that the situation was not good and withdrew their elite troops to Tokugawa Hidetada's Kanhachishu. Therefore, although the morale of the coalition forces declined, they did not lose much combat power. As long as Abe Seimei blocks Ling Feng, it's hard to say who will win this war.
At this time, Ling Feng's troops had snowballed and grown to 260,000, doubling their strength!
After a day of rest, the next morning, the sky was clear and the weather was clear. Ling Feng once again sent troops from Shinano Kingdom, divided into three armies, and attacked Guanbazhou in a mighty manner.
The Chinese army was led by Ling Feng himself, including the Dragon Guard, Dragon Whale Guard, 30,000 elite troops of the headquarters and 70,000 other troops.
The left army was led by Maeda Toshiie and led an army of 80,000 people. The right army was led by Nakamura Kazushi and led an army of 80,000 people.
At this time, Ling Feng was riding in a carriage, practicing in the carriage with his eyes closed, while Lin Ziyi was driving the carriage, responsible for protecting Ling Feng's safety so that no one would disturb his practice.
After a while, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the attribute table. Xuanyin Hundred Poison Skills had been upgraded to LV9, with a proficiency of 36%. This is also thanks to Ling Feng's campaign in the Eight Kingdoms, the continuous battles, and the addition of all the energy values to improve so quickly.
At this time, Ling Feng looked towards the direction of Guandong, his heart full of passion, because as long as there is another battle, his yin and yang skills will reach their innate peak, and then he can concentrate on retreat and condense his true energy.
