"Where did Liu Xingchen get the soldiers?" Xia Fan asked frowned. It is naturally impossible for him to know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Han Dynasty today, but he can estimate the approximate number.

If the county soldiers in various provinces and miscellaneous soldiers who cannot get on the table, the total number of regular troops in the Han Dynasty may not be two million now.

It sounds very scary, but not all these two million troops can be used by Liu Xingchen at will.

Because many troops have very important roles, such as stationed on the border, guarding against the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, which has been eyeing the Han Dynasty. In addition, there are many soldiers and horses who should be wary of King Pingnan and King Jingnan. These alone have at least restrained nearly one million soldiers.

Some of the remaining millions of troops were stationed in various provinces. Perhaps only 500,000 or 600,000 could be used by Liu Xingchen at will.

This principle is like some rich people who claim to be rich in wealth. Wealth is really rich, but the so-called wealth of thousands of families is calculated by fields and shops, and there may not be much real money in hand.

Liu Xingchen is like a rich man who nominally controls the world and holds countless soldiers and horses, but the soldiers he can use are actually not rich.

It was not the case before. It was just after several battles, especially after he sent Geng Qingping to attack Yunhuanhu, but was killed, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, so that the Han Dynasty's troops became a little embarrassed. If it weren't for this, Liu Xingchen wouldn't have just mobilized 600,000 elite troops in the battle of Qianbijiang, and had to recruit another million soldiers to make up for it.

Because he could estimate Liu Xingchen's military strength, after learning that Liu Xingchen sent troops to wipe out and destroy the Bailian Cult and fight against the Bahu of the Xia family, he really didn't know where he could get the army.

"My people have been checking, but this army is mysterious and cannot penetrate, so they cannot figure out their origins at all, and they don't even know the number of people." Zhao Wei's face showed a look of ashamed, because it was definitely his dereliction of duty to not get the enemy's intelligence, but the fact is indeed like this, which made him quite helpless.

Xia Fan did not blame Zhao Wei and said, "Where are any information handed over from below? Have you brought it here?"

"Yes." Zhao Wei nodded, then took out dozens of information and said, "This army is too powerful. It is hidden in the day and comes out at night, so it is not allowed to get close to outsiders. My spies under my command have lost a lot, but they only obtained these information that is of no value."

"Valueless? That may not be necessary." Xia Fan scanned dozens of information at an extremely fast speed, and finally picked one and put it in front of Zhao Wei and said: "This one is very useful. I have probably guessed where this army came from. If you don't get their information this time, you really shouldn't have."

Zhao Wei glanced at the intelligence and found that the superior said that the army had passed by, and there were many burning marks on the ground, and even many fires occurred in some places.

"What can I tell?" Zhao Yi asked in confusion. He had read this information, but he really didn't know what useful information he could get from such a stupid intelligence.

"This army comes from another world, and is condensed by flames." Xia Fan said: "This is a soldier who is completely loyal to Liu Xingchen. During the Battle of Qianbi River, Liu Xingchen used to deal with the golden armored heroes of the Eagle Potian. You can check the information at that time and you should find it. The burning traces mentioned in this information must be the traces left by them when they walked."

"I remember what you said." Zhao Wei suddenly realized, and then became even more ashamed.

"It is difficult to collect information, but it is even more difficult to analyze useful information from a lot of information, so I will be more attentive in the future." Xia Fan patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xingchen seems to have invested a lot this time. If I don't take action, just relying on the soldiers and horses in Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou's hands will suffer a great loss against these flame aliens."

At this time, Xia Fan had already thought of killing this army with his own hands. He just turned his mind and looked at Zhao Wei and said, "Do you know where King Zhenhai is? Are you still serving Liu Xingchen?"

"That's not." Zhao Wei said: "It was him who was ordered to destroy the White Lotus Sect and cause trouble."

"In this way, I probably know Liu Xingchen's layout." Xia Fan nodded and looked at Zhao Wei and said, "You should send a message to Lu Chuan or Bu Fenghou, so that they don't need to worry about behind them, just continue to attack with confidence and boldness. I will deal with the army sent by Liu Xingchen."

"Senior Brother, I'll help you." The Thirteenth Prince volunteered.

"good."

This army came very quickly. If it weren't for fear that the daytime march would scare the people of the Han Dynasty and cause unnecessary panic and have to lie out day and night, they would have arrived two days in advance.

If that is true, when Xia Fan comes back, he will probably see a scene of corpses everywhere and scorched earth.

After all, it will be very difficult to deal with such a flame alien, whether it is Lu Chuan or Bu Fenghou's soldiers, because facing these enemies condensed by raging flames, they cannot be confronted by personal courage and toughness.

Not to mention the other person, when you fight in close combat, you will be safe and sound when you cut him off. Even if he doesn't attack directly, he can kill you by just burning the flames on his body. How can you fight such a battle? Not to mention that the mounts riding by the flame aliens are extremely fierce and will inevitably be difficult to deal with during battles.

Although the combat power of the demon clan and the multi-arm clan is quite strong, Xia Fan himself is not sure whether he can fight these flame aliens head-on.

Even so, this battle was inevitable. Xia Fan did not delay much, and immediately took the Thirteenth Prince who insisted on helping and left Yunhuanhu.

This army was quite careful when marching within the Han Dynasty, but when it passed the border and entered Xia Fan's territory, it no longer lie down day and went out at night, and it continued to burn and kill. In addition to destroying the cities and villages you saw along the way, it also killed people as soon as it was seen, in order to disrupt the people's hearts in Xia Fan's territory.

However, for this reason, this flame alien army has been moving much slower. At this moment, it is still raging in the country of the original Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Fan flew all the way and when he entered the original Holy Dragon Kingdom, he happened to see a river twenty or thirty miles wide. With a thought, he immediately released his pocket of swallowing heaven and swept away all the rivers in a section of the river seven or eight hundred miles long.

"I'll go, this is too fierce!" The Thirteenth Prince followed Xia Fan and couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the magic weapon released by Xia Fan sweep away such a long section of the river in a blink of an eye, causing it to temporarily stop flowing.

At this time, the Thirteenth Prince thought of the power of his magic weapon, and compared it with it, he couldn't help but feel worse.

However, the Thirteenth Prince was quite open-minded, envious but not jealous. At the same time, he knew very well that although such a magic weapon was powerful, it would definitely consume no less magic power when it was running. With his current strength, even if he really had such a magic weapon in hand, he would probably have exhausted his magic power in a few times.

"After all, it's not strong enough." The Thirteenth Prince thought to himself, and was increasingly eager to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Xia Fan flew very fast with the Thirteenth Prince. After sucking away the water from the seven or eight hundred miles long section, he flew again not long before he could see the rolling smoke rising from the ground, and he could still vaguely hear the crying and screams of the people.

This is a city that originally belonged to the Holy Dragon Kingdom. There are about 200,000 people in the city. It used to be quite prosperous, but now it is all burned down.

Xia Fan was above the sky and could clearly see that the massacre of the flame alien race was about to end.

Not only was the city destroyed, but the flames were everywhere, but the people in the city were burned to the ground like coke.

Looking around, there are only two colors of red and black in the city. The red one is fire, and the black one is rolling smoke. The smoke also has a smell of barbecue that makes people want to disgust.

Although the entire city was like a burning fire at this time, all the flame aliens who had just created endless murderous evils and their mounts under their crotch were not hurt at all, but instead showed a very comfortable look.

"Senior Brother, this..." The Thirteenth Prince was shocked when he saw the tragic situation in the city, and then hissed and shouted: "Kill them all!"

Anyone who sees such a tragic scene will feel sad, and even more angry at the irritating behavior of the flame aliens.

Of course, the Thirteenth Prince is no exception, and his emotions are even more complicated.

On the one hand, he was sincerely regretful. After all, he helped Xia Fan handle military and political affairs for so long and devoted a lot of feelings to the people under Xia Fan's rule.

Especially the city in front of him, he came here in person when he first captured it. It seemed that it had just passed, but the bustling city that was once in the past has now become a ruin. No, or a huge burning tomb is more accurate.

How could he not be heartbroken and how could he not be angry about this?

On the other hand, the Thirteenth Prince also has a kind of sad helplessness and hatred.

Because Xia Fan briefly told him the origin of this flame alien race, this deep blood hatred naturally came to Liu Xingchen's head.

This made the Thirteenth Prince, who could have ignored Liu Xingchen, burst into unprecedented hatred. He could not imagine how the wise and powerful man in his impression would become like this, cold and cruel, and crazy.

Born in the royal family, the Thirteenth Prince is certainly not the kind and soft-hearted person. He can accept death indifferently in war.

But he could not bear such unscrupulous slaughter of civilians, especially such brutal slaughter, which really made him feel urged to rush up and kill all the flames.
