"The Demon Race reacted quickly."
"The Child of Destiny had only just been chosen, yet every city had already dispatched Dao soldiers."
"Preliminary estimates put their numbers at around six hundred thousand Dao soldiers!"
At this moment, Li Qing held the power of every region throughout the Nine Provinces Four Regions in his grasp.
He had calculated how many troops each Dao lineage could ultimately field.
The combined total of Demon Race, Buddhism, Ghost, and Demon Dao soldiers would not exceed two million!
The three great Daoist Sects and the Hundred Schools of Thought together had roughly five million Dao soldiers!
Of those, the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Confucian Dao accounted for nearly two million, divided among the six Children of Destiny. More than two-thirds of that was the accumulated foundation of the various Dao lineages and the Confucian school.
The rest consisted of Dao soldiers and cultivators accumulated by the Great Tang dynasty in the past after they had been absorbed, along with some Rogue Cultivators who had also joined them.
Now that the Monster Path's destiny had been unified, six hundred thousand troops massed at the border, instantly placing immense pressure upon the True Treasure Path.
The south was True Treasure Path territory, and they had already received the news.
Huang Wanchao's expression was grave as his gaze swept across the many ministers in court.
"Everyone, the Demon Race's destiny has been unified. Now 1.6 million Dao soldiers are massed at the border!"
"What do you think we should do next?"
Half of Huang Wanchao's territory lay in South Province, while the other half belonged to Li Fengxian and Bai Wuxue.
The territories of the three were interwoven. Attacking any one of them would draw the attention of the other two, resulting in a stalemate.
