Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

527 Preparation for the Expedition

Alice then expressed her thoughts.
“As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the provisions and fodder go first.
We still don’t know anything about the bug race.
We must dispatch our troops, but how much, who will lead the army, who will stay behind, what is our goal, and so on? We have first to determine all of these!”

One would die early if one did not understand his opponent before getting involved.
Some foreign races were neutral or even friendly to the human race, but most were hostile or even disdainful of the human race.

At that time, they would have to constantly deal with the bug race that might appear at any time and might even face the attacks or traps of the other races.

Therefore, intelligence work was critical.

Now that they did not know the situation, it was not easy to formulate a response.

“This is sudden, but it’s a good opportunity to show off in front of the alien races.
Moreover, if used well, it could deepen the foreign races’ impression of the Kingdom of Dawn and form an invisible deterrence against them.
Thus, I’ll be personally heading out this time.”

Li Xiang made a decisive decision.
Then, he looked at Zhao Yun and asked, “Zhao Yun, how are the soldiers’ training in the various cities? How many available weapons are there?”

Zhao Yun stood up with a slightly agitated expression.”Country Lord, the average number of soldiers recruited by each city is around 50000.
10000 of them are combat-ready soldiers, and only about 1000 are elites, all of whom are above Level 100! In addition, to reduce casualties and losses, the army has also introduced a series of formations with nine palaces as the foundation, called the Nine Palace Demon Killing Formation.
With a minimum of nine people, a small formation can be formed.
The more people, with eighteen, thirty-six, eighty-one people, and so on, the more influential the formation.”

Li Xiang’s eyes lit up slightly as he nodded.
“Good! We have 1500 cities, and half of them are left to guard.
Each city can transfer at least 500 elites.
They could recruit at least seven to eight million elite soldiers.
However, there’s no need for so many this time.
You need to pick the best of the best and pick a hundred thousand elite soldiers.
Adding on the original hundred thousand elite cavalries will be two hundred thousand.
Other than that, there are also 20000 dread fiend cavalries and 20000 rapid blade demons each, 20000 vine whisker and black-winged demons each, and a portion of the Angel warriors.
A total of 300000 soldiers.
That’s enough!”

The eyes of the other heroes under his command lit up.

This battle against the bug race was an excellent opportunity to level up.
Unfortunately, for heroes like them, the experience required to level up was too much.
Nevertheless, this was a rare opportunity, and no one wanted to miss it.

Li Xiang knew what these people were thinking, but he had to leave someone to guard the Kingdom of Dawn, which made things difficult for him.

“Isn’t 300000 troops a little too much?” Night Light asked.
“Although we’re going to establish our might, it doesn’t seem reasonable to show too much strength suddenly!”

Li Xiang laughed and said, “Of course, we won’t let 300000 troops appear in front of the foreign races.
I will only bring 20000 human warriors outside.
The rest will hide in my Tower of Stars in case of mishaps! After all, none of them are friends, whether it’s the bug race or most of the foreign races.
How to establish their might? Naturally, we have to find those who are hostile to us to demonstrate our might!”

Alice’s eyes lit up, and she nodded.
“That’s right.
When we get there, these people will probably look down on us when they see that our army is so small.
Then, they will provoke or even target us.
At that time, we will kill them and show them what we can.
The results will be immediate!”

Li Xiang nodded with a smile, “There’s another reason.
Quality is more important than quantity in an army.
So although I have 300000 troops with me, I will not let them charge up and fight the bug race.
We only need a portion of the army and do not need to charge at the forefront.
We only need to show off our strengths at the critical moment, and our goals will be achieved.
So the reason why we are bringing so many troops is just in case.
After all, the Alliance of Gods isn’t our friend.
It’s our enemy, and we’ll fight to the death!”

Everyone could not help but nod when they heard this.
The Country Lord was very thoughtful.

However, everyone felt that the Country’s Lord army was too small when he said that.

“Country Lord, if that’s the case, why don’t we bring more troops just in case? After all, even if we can use the Void Divine Mirror to save ourselves in time, if the other party uses a unique sealing treasure, the Void Divine Mirror may not be able to keep us in time!”

Li Xiang pinched his chin and said, “Then how much is considered a lot? This is someone else’s territory, after all.
No matter how many soldiers I bring, can I possibly destroy the Alliance of Gods? Don’t worry.
If the situation turns bad, I’ll recall the troops outside and run away.
I won’t fight them head-on.
There’s no need to be afraid of debts!”

This made sense to everyone.
After all, this was the home ground of the Alliance of Gods, surrounded by countless foreign races.
So even if they brought all the troops of the Kingdom of Dawn, they might not be able to retreat unscathed!

“Although we’ve decided to go, there’s no need to rush.
According to the Angel race, it was a gathering of all the races and powerhouses in the area.
If I am not wrong, anyone with a bit of strength will go.
However, we have the void teleportation array and the Void Divine Mirror.
So no matter where we go, we won’t be slow.
For now, it’s better to make sufficient preparations, organize the army, arm it to the extreme, and be ready to set off at any time!”

After his heroic battle generals left, someone else rushed over.

“Please bring me along this time.
It just so happens that my saber techniques have become stagnant, and I need to advance further while killing!” Fu Mingxue suddenly came looking for him and requested.

He stood at the main hall entrance with a knife in his arms.
He looked like he would go alone if Li Xiang did not bring him along.
Li Xiang found it amusing.

“You gained insight from the battle between the Phoenix and the Wind Pterosaur King.
Did you not?”

“I’ve succeeded.
I’ve comprehended six saber techniques from that battle.
I’ve named them the Phoenix Saber, but they’re not perfect.
I still need to test them on the battlefield.”

Li Xiang could tell that Fu Mingxue was only a step away from becoming a demigod, so he nodded.
“Alright, I’ll count you in when the time comes!”

“Count me in! Anyway, one more or one less wouldn’t make a difference.
I’ve also made a breakthrough in my Qimen Dunjia skills, and I can test it out with those insects.
Besides, how can I miss out on such a grand occasion?”

Ye Qiu popped out of nowhere and also wanted to join.

“Alright, since you want to go, then go with Fu Mingxue!”

As for guarding the City of Dawn, Li Xiang thought about it and decided to leave it to Li Jing.

Li Jing did not have any objections.
Although he was the God of War, he was not a warmonger.
