The flames of eight years of war had completely pushed the Heavenly River Continent to the edge of a cliff. Judging from the millions of reinforcements this time, Xiao Chen knew that the three provinces in the rear had indeed reached their limits. They might not even be able to send out Heaven Realm cultivators.
Out of the one million strong army, only a tenth of the Heaven Tier martial artists were present, while the rest were all at the Earth Clear Mirror Realm. Moreover, these people were either old or young. They were all old, weak, sick, or disabled.
From a distance, this didn't look like an army going to war. If one put aside their cultivation, this was simply a fleeing army.
The entire Sacred Yin Province had been ravaged by Zhang Huo. Looking at the ground that had been dyed black with blood, Xiao Chen said helplessly.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, how could Xiao Sheng not know that the Human Race was indeed a lamp that had run out of oil?
Xiao Sheng knew more about the situation in the three provinces in the rear than Xiao Chen. He knew that the three provinces in the rear were already at the end of the road. Not to mention the difficulty of ensuring the reinforcements, even pills and talismans could not be refined. It was impossible to continue to ensure the supply of pills and talismans to the front line.
Pills and talismans were difficult to refine, not because there were no Alchemists or Talisman Masters, but because there were no materials.
The various Heaven and Earth treasures needed for Alchemy had long been depleted after eight years of consumption. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice. Without materials, even if one was a strong Alchemist, they could only stare helplessly.
Sighing lightly, Xiao Sheng said indifferently, "We are persevering, and so are the Demon Race. At this time, it depends on who will give up first."
At this point in the battle, it was no longer a matter of who was stronger or weaker, but who could last longer and which race's endurance was stronger.
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen also understood the reason. Indeed, as long as the Devil Tribe did not retreat, the Human Tribe could not relax. The Human Tribe had consumed a lot of energy, so did the Devil Tribe.
While the two of them were talking, Qin Shuirou and the other two girls came to Xiao Chen's side. When they looked at Xiao Chen, the three girls' faces were also filled with grave expressions.
No one said anything. At this point, all they could do was grit their teeth and persevere.
Just like the Human Race, the Demon Race had also fallen into this predicament. Almost all of their powerhouses had been killed, and more and more young and old Demons were being transferred to the front lines.
At this moment, in the Demon Race's encampment on the eastern plains opposite the Human Race encampment, the Sha Yelu Tribe was stationed there. Of course, Sha Mohe and the other Demon Sons were there as well.
They also looked at the Demon Race army in front of them, and Sha Yelu could not help but say softly.
"We have underestimated the Human Tribe too much. Who would have thought that the Human Tribe could be so tenacious? For eight whole years, our Demon Race has not been able to take a single step out of the Sacred Yin Province. Now, the Demon Race is completely trapped in this deep quagmire."
Originally, when the battle broke out, Sha Yelu and the other Demon Ancestors had expected to take down the Tianhe Continent as quickly as possible, but who would have thought that the Human Tribe would be so tenacious? They had been entangled with the Demon Race for eight years, and the outcome of the battle between the two races was still uncertain.
In eight years, the Demon Race of the Northern Demon Continent had gambled everything on this battle. Just like the Human Tribe, the Demon Race was also facing a situation where they had no soldiers to recruit and their resources were about to be exhausted.
In the Demon Race army under Sha Yelu, there were also more Earth Mirror Realm powerhouses than Sky Realm powerhouses. Moreover, the new troops were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. This also meant that the rear of the Demon Race was also out of options. Otherwise, how could they let these people go to the battlefield?
Hearing Sha Yelu's sigh, Sha Moxiong, who was beside him, asked with some doubt.
"Old Ancestor, I have a question that I don't understand."
"Speak." Hearing this, Sha Yelu said softly.
"Since we can't take down the Human Tribe, why do we have to fight the Human Tribe here? I think as long as we retreat to the Northern Demon Continent, the Human Tribe will definitely not take the initiative to attack. In this way, can't we rest and recuperate? "
After eight years of war, Sha Moxiong, who was already a natural warrior, said that they should rest and recuperate. It could be seen that this battle had made both sides extremely tired.
Sha Moxiong was a very straightforward character, but he was not very smart. These days, he had been thinking about why the Demon Race had not retreated.
He believed that as long as the Demon Race retreated, the war would end, and the Human Tribe would definitely be unable to attack now.
The reason why the battle was still going on was that if the Demon Race did not retreat, the Human Tribe would never surrender. As long as the Demon Race chose to retreat, everything would be solved.
Facing Sha Moxiong's question, Sha Yelu glanced at him indifferently, then turned his gaze to Sha Mohe and said with a chuckle, "Sha Mohe, you answer your big brother's question."
Sha Moxiong couldn't figure out why the Demon Race had not retreated. Sha Yelu did not answer this question, instead, he threw the question to Sha Mohe.
Compared to his big brother, Sha Mohe was obviously much better in all aspects. Therefore, Sha Mohe had always known the answer to the question that Sha Moxiong couldn't figure out.
Hearing Sha Yelu's words, Sha Mohe nodded slightly, then looked at Sha Moxiong and said earnestly.
"Big Brother, you have to know that it's not that the Demon Race doesn't want to retreat, but that we can't retreat at all."
"Can't retreat? What do you mean? "Sha Moxiong was even more puzzled when he heard this.
"The reason is very simple. For this war, our Demon Race has paid too much. If we choose to retreat to the Northern Demon Continent now, we will only die. Big Brother, you have to know that the Northern Demon Continent is not the SkyRiver Continent. The Northern Demon Continent is a closed world." Sha Mohe said lightly.
Hearing Sha Mohe's words, Sha Moxiong fell into silence. After a while, he finally understood what Sha Mohe meant.
No wonder the old ancestors had no intention of retreating. It's not that they didn't want to retreat, but they couldn't retreat.
The Northern Demon Continent was a closed world, and for this war, the Demon Race had already exhausted the Northern Demon Continent. Once the Demon Race chose to retreat at this time, there would only be one result, and that was extinction.
Imagine if the Demon Race retreated at this time, and the Human Tribe destroyed the blood door, what would be waiting for the Demon Race?
Guarding the Northern Devil Continent, which was already riddled with holes and was like a lamp that had run out of oil, they couldn't get out. In the end, the Devil Clan of the Northern Devil Continent would be able to remain silent and live in the Northern Devil Continent for generations until finally, they would disappear silently from this world.
There was no way out, so even though the situation was already so tragic, the Demon Race still couldn't retreat. Thinking of this, Sha Mohe sighed helplessly. The Demon Race really couldn't advance or retreat now.
