Time flowed past like water, and before anyone knew it, two months had passed.
With You Province, Ji Province, and Bing Province engulfed in war, the situation demanded action.
The emperor issued an edict ordering the neighboring provinces of Qingzhou, Ning Province, Yan Province, Min Prefecture, Yu Province, and Su Province to mobilize in full. Besides transferring local troops to Sun Chenzong's command, every Martial Dao sect, martial arts school, and lineage had to send people to aid the war effort.
Clearly, he intended to gather the strength of nearly half the realm to crush the rebels and barbarian armies as quickly as possible.
Thus, besides the acquaintances who had joined the Martial Suppression Bureau, Zhao Feng saw many other familiar faces: Yin Zheng, Huo Yao, Sun Qing, Liu Yang, and more. They joined the army and marched out as its accompanying martial experts.
With troops mobilized from six provinces, together with the earlier recruits, Sun Chenzong now commanded an army of nearly three hundred thousand.
Over those two months, the army captured several prefectures in succession, achieving outstanding results. Officers and soldiers of all ranks received various commendations.
While cultivating, Zhao Feng also led his Martial Suppression Guards in numerous battles. His unit was an elite force, however, and after learning about his Guerrilla Warfare Tactics, Sun Chenzong sent him on several operations behind enemy lines, with striking results.
Inside the military camp, Zhao Feng summoned his panel.
