As the sky slowly turned dark, the battlefield was still filled with the sound of drums, killing intent charging into the heavens. Tens of millions of soldiers in iron armor were split into 2 sides, going all out in a line on the plains close to the river. Numerous corpses were scattered all about.
One side was Gantian Mountain City. There were only 1.8 million of them, split into hundreds of square formations.
With the two hundred or so cloud ships in the river as the flanks, they were like a dam that blocked the enemy's attacks one after another.
Their numbers were much smaller than Thousand City Alliance, only a quarter of their numbers. However, they were obviously more elite. The iron armor on their bodies as well as the weapons in their hands all shone with spiritual light. They were all spiritual artifact grade. Most of the time, even if weapons slashed on their bodies, they would be unharmed.
Which was why although they had fewer troops, their aura was stronger. The entire 67 miles wide front line was the other way around, suppressing the tens of millions of troops of Thousand City Alliance. They were neatly and efficiently harvesting lives.
However, each time they attacked, they would crush the enemy. They would always retreat immediately and return to the barracks at the rear, relying on the fortifications to defend to the death, and would not pursue and attack.
Thousand City Alliance was the same, collapsing time and time again. However, they continued to attack. In front of that meat grinder like camp, piece after piece fell.
At this moment, Xiong Yu's face was green as she sat 17 miles behind the battle formation, within a tent.
Although she didn't personally come to the battlefield, the spirit masters beside her were able to use cloud light illusions. They were able to display the situation of each corner of the battlefield in front of her.
On either side of her were the City Lords who had followed her here, as well as the famous Great Generals of the Eastern Region.
At this moment, there were many discussions, causing the tent to be noisy.
"Since the start of the war, it is already the 7th day! 7 days of time, our troops have been gathered here. We have close to a million deaths and we can't advance an inch! If this goes on, even when these 11 million people all die, we still won't be able to break through this place … "
"The reason why our army fell to such a state is because the navy was late! Relying on the squadron in the river, Gantian Mountain can at least save 30% of their troops. I heard that a month ago they gathered at Lidong City. Why haven't they arrived yet? Are they all trash? "
"However, we can't blame them. Ever since Gantian Mountain City was wiped out by the Taoyun City Squadron. In these two years, they had built thirty seven-tooth warships. There were close to a hundred Five Tooth Warships. At the exit of the river, there were four castles, each with more than fifty Energy-Destroying Crossbows. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win in a short period of time! "
"If that's the case, then the Monster King must have been prepared. He had expected the battlefield to be here. No wonder during these two years, Gantian Mountain pretty much wiped out all the ships in the river. "
"We are indeed prepared. Our Thousand City Alliance has been sending out elite cavalry to attack their rear. However, there was no sign of anyone escorting the provisions or military equipment, nor was there anyone within three hundred li of them. They should have sufficient reserves here and are not afraid of being surrounded by our army … "
"I have always found it weird, where did Gantian Mountain get so much money. Although he had obtained the beast tomb, it was impossible for him to be so rich. Even if we combine the power of a province, we might not be able to build one in a year … "
"Can't we just go around this place?"
"Hey! Where did this ignorant kid come from? Someone like you who isn't at home actually dares to give orders here. Don't you know that in the art of war, troops should travel along the river? If we leave this Daishui River, where are we going to get water from? Can we rely on the Heaven and Earth bags of the sects to last a day? "
The moment those words were said, laughter instantly sounded out throughout the tent. It caused the face of the person who asked to turn red from embarrassment.
However, after they laughed, their faces were still filled with worry.
It wasn't that they couldn't win. With Lingyun Sect taking charge and unifying the cities, they set up a trap. He had set up another trap and made the Demon King willingly jump into it.
The outcome of this battle was already decided.
At this moment, they were only worried that they would suffer too many casualties in this battle.
Xiong Yu was in deep thought and didn't bother about them. These people weren't under her so naturally, she couldn't order them around.
If she could really do it, then the Donglin Sects would be worried about her.
"Our forces have suffered casualties in seven days, forty thousand people collapsed 4 times! Till today, we haven't even broken through the first layer of the enemy's wall. Who knew that the Gantian Mountain soldiers were actually so elite! No wonder they wanted to disband the army, they don't want any subordinates. "
"Your forty thousand men are still okay. The elite cavalry that I have managed for many years all fell not long ago. The ten most elite towns of Gantian Mountain have more than three hundred Xiantian experts. It is okay if they don't appear, but the moment they do, they will definitely win and slaughter! "
"There is no way to continue this battle! Who knows what the situation of the other few paths are like? "
"I heard that it isn't good, Gantian Mountain is defending. They all suffered heavy casualties and were unable to take it down … "
Xiong Yu laughed coldly and knew that these people seemed to be discussing among themselves. Actually, these words were said for her to hear, to beat around the bush.
Her brows furrowed as she looked at the cloud light illusionary scene in front of her, her eyes filled with a cold intent that couldn't be dissolved.
Moments later, she made a decision. That sharp sword-like gaze swept around the hall. Just the suppression of her aura caused the hall to become silent once more.
"I know that during these seven days, the army has suffered heavy casualties! Xiong Yu also feels heart pained, there is no benefit in continuing like this … "
The moment she said that, the people in the tent all nodded their heads. Xiong Yu's tone changed, "Have you all thought that the situation over at Gantian Mountain is even worse now? In today's battle, my Thousand City Alliance lost one hundred twenty-four thousand people. But looking at Gantian Mountain, three thousand people died! "
Some of the people in the hall who understood all laughed coldly, roughly guessing what this Blazing Flame Mountain city lord wanted to say.
As expected, he heard Xiong Yu continue, "Yesterday, Gantian Mountain only had a thousand casualties. Gantian Mountain is already showing signs of fatigue. The current plan was to go all out in one go and not give up halfway! Tonight, I am prepared to fight through the night. I want to use Blazing Flame, Yunxia, Longxiang, and Yunsheng as the main force to try to attack once more. We will attack from the right. The terrain here is vast and isn't good for defending. Today, I observed carefully and this should be the weakest area. It isn't hard to break through … "
Before she could finish her sentence, a cold laugh rang out from within the tent. "Why go through so much trouble? The dust on Mysterious Cloud Mountain is about to settle. Once that Zong Shou dies. Gantian Mountain's army towns will fall on their own. Even if we attack now, we will only be wasting lives. "
As soon as he said this, everyone in the tent showed a look of agreement.
"That's right! Lingyun Sect has made plans. As long as Zong Shou dies, the situation will be settled. The situation will be settled! Why waste your energy here? "
"Our Deputy Alliance Head is really ambitious. However, the soldiers of our cities can forget about seeking personal gains … "
"This princess Xuan Yu doesn't care about human lives, but I need to worry about my troops …"
Xiong Yu wasn't angry but laughed instead, her eyes squinting as she looked at the person who retorted with killing intent.
This person wasn't from Longxiang City, but before Thousand City Alliance was built, he was one of the subordinate cities of Longxiang City.
Looking at the remaining ten over cities, including Cloud Saint City lord Xu Zhengyuan and Yunxia Mountain Feng Nu, they all kept silent and didn't speak.
Only then did she smile in satisfaction, "It isn't impossible to stop attacking. However, if there is anything, we have to wait for our Lingyun Sect to settle everything before we can enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Wouldn't that make us seem useless? "
One sentence caused the tent to regain its calmness. Xiong Yu looked at the 2 green-shirted males beside her.
One of them was Zu Renkuang, the other was younger and was called Yan Feibai. They were both core disciples of Lingyun Sect.
As for her, Xiong Yu, although she was the lord of a city, she only had the status of an inner court disciple.
She immediately smiled, "Later on, please send your Dao Soldiers to help!"
Zu Renkuang admired this girl a little. However, he was still hesitant about this matter.
Within Lingyun Sect, grade 6 dao soldiers were the main force. However, below them were grade 4 and 5 dao soldiers. This time he brought a thousand people over. Along with the Donglin sects, there were five thousand.
Although they weren't the true pillars of the sect, they were where the essence was gathered.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard Xiong Yu continue, "During these few days, I tried to lure Gantian Mountain to chase. However, Qiu Wei is indeed a great general, retreating in time and not advancing rashly. It is obvious that he is wary of our dao soldiers. Since we can't lure them, we can only forcefully attack. Don't worry, senior master, I will be careful and try my best not to cause too many sect elites to die. Today, I don't hope to break through, I just hope to heavily injure him and have an explanation. If not, when the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect wins and loses, our faces won't look good … "
Only then did Zu Renkuang nod his head and smile, "Junior master is good at using troops, I trust you!"
That Yan Feibai didn't care. This time Zu Renkuang was the one who made the decision. He followed over just to broaden his horizons and watch this huge battle from the side.
He only thought about Zong Shou in his heart, thinking to himself that was that person going to fall just like that?
What a waste, he was unable to fight him!
In two years, he had already stepped into grade 7! Who knows what realm that Zong Shou had reached?
Xiong Yu's lips curled up, her hand unknowingly caressing her broken arm. Then, she clenched tightly at the broken area.
An intense pain instantly drilled into her heart.
Within the cloud world, there were numerous secret techniques and recipes passed down from the cloud desolate era. There were numerous limb regeneration techniques. Even like Long Ruo who was valued by the sect, one could even use a bit of true spirit to reconstruct the body.
As a city lord, it was really easy for Xiong Yu to recover an arm.
However, he had always kept it because he wanted to remember that time, the great humiliation at Dragon Gathering Mountain, for today.
It shouldn't be far! In just a few days, news of his death would be heard …
Zong Shou ah Zong Shou, I will destroy your Gantian Mountain!
Not a single tile will remain! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
