Sitting on the golden throne, Zong Shou was looking carefully at the battle situation below. For a full 4 hours, he didn't shift his gaze away.
He could feel the strength of the Night Demon Race's attacks. Compared to before, it had increased by several times.
Some areas that suffered heavy casualties didn't avoid anymore. Instead, they used life after life to forcefully push their way over.
Some stone castles and stone walls that could last for at least a night had no choice but to give up in just a few minutes.
The entire formation seemed to be smashed by an iron hammer, forced to retreat to the foot of the mountain until there was nowhere to escape.
The only place that was still calm was the plains on the left.
The 300,000 Iron Cavalry led by the Blood Cloud Cavalry didn't enter the battle.
However, they restricted the 600,000 troops under Jia Mingluo. Amongst which, there were 2 towns of Grade-5 Elites. Grade-4 Troops had 14 towns spread out on the left and right, locking down the direction that Zong Yuan's Iron Cavalry could attack from.
There were also Jia Mingluo's close guards, a full 2,000 Grade-6 Night Demon Warriors hidden within.
This was the only elite force that could go up against the Blood Cloud Cavalry. However, their numbers were slightly weaker and they couldn't go up against the Blood Cloud Cavalry alone. After several clashes, they had suffered many losses.
Naturally, the Blood Cavalry under him also suffered some losses.
In just a few months, there were 400 Grade-5 and Grade-6 Experts who joined in. Some came from Donglin while some came from Huizhou.
After 3 months of fighting, this Blood Cloud Cavalry still maintained the number of 5,000 and they were all elite and strong.
The training on the battlefield and the Dragon Stallion Blood Essence Pills that Xuanyuan Yiren refined helped their cultivations soar. Close to half of the four thousand Blood Cavalry at the beginning had advanced.
For the first time, the number of sixth-grade knights in the Blood Cavalry had reached a thousand!
This was without a doubt the strongest fighting force he had at his disposal. It was also one of the pillars that allowed them to remain undefeated despite the dangerous situation.
At this moment, the 60 Night Demon Towns didn't move at all and continued to attack.
It wasn't because they were careful, but because Zong Yuan brought this Iron Cavalry, one knife and one spear to kill their way out.
Such that the Night Demon Generals had to be wary and be on guard.
However, when he looked at the battle situation, Zong Shou's brows furrowed slightly.
Other than the cavalry under the command of Zong Yuan, the situation was tense everywhere.
The Huizhou native troops that Zong Gang brought back were all elite troops and none of them were below Grade Two. Their path of retreat was cut off, and it was a battle to defend their territory, so their morale was pretty good.
However, his combat strength was still weaker than the Night Demon.
Relying on the stone walls of the Stone Castle, they could still fight. However, once the Spirit Formation was destroyed, those fortifications would also be destroyed, and they would no longer be able to hold on. They would need even more military power to intercept them.
As far as the eye could see, there were hundreds and thousands of people dying under the blades of the Night Demon at every moment.
Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shou looked at the sky. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight shone down like water.
At this moment, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It was also the first time he felt that the night was so long. He really wanted this bright starry sky to instantly disappear.
"Ruler, are you regretting?"
Kongyao looked at Zong Shou with a weird expression. She could sense that this fellow's eyes were filled with sadness for the first time. She didn't understand and shook her head slightly.
To Donglin, they had to fight this battle.
At this moment, the Gantian Army had already shown their strength to the enemy. The Night Demon Race had suffered heavy losses. Even if they were worried about the strength of the Gantian Army and didn't dare to offend them.
However, once the Night Demon Race had foundations in the Cloud World, they would have endless reinforcements.
Sooner or later, they would have to target Donglin and a battle would be unavoidable.
The claws that the Night Demon Race stretched out needed to be smacked back right away!
Zong Shou couldn't help but laugh. Just now, he only felt that this was a little different from what he experienced in the virtual environment of the future as Tanqiu.
At the foot of the mountain, what was disappearing one after another were real lives.
In the God-Emperor game, one could revive after dying, and one's character could be refreshed.
In the past, when he led troops to battle, the casualties were at most a few thousand, so he didn't feel so deeply about it.
However, at this moment, millions of people were fighting to the death, causing his heart realm to waver.
If he didn't feel sad, then he would have lost his humanity. However, if he cared too much, Zong Shou wasn't fit to be the Gantian Mountain King and wasn't fit to chase the peak of the martial path!
However, war was a huge matter for a country. It was a place of life and death, a path to survival. He had to pay attention to it and be careful!
Such a sentence flashed across his heart. Zong Shou's emotions were unprecedentedly deep.
To him, the dangers of war and war were nothing more than a few simple numbers. How much money would he lose? However, in Donglin, there were millions of soldiers whose lives were tied up here!
In the future, when he ruled the country and used troops, he had to be really careful!
"I see that the generals are risking their lives. General Ren is saving his strength and definitely has a plan. The situation today seems dangerous but it is actually safe. On the contrary, it seems like the Night Demons are really out of grain … "
Kong Yao said expressionlessly. She knew that Zong Shou himself was an unparalleled general talent. In a situation like this, his ability to use troops was even above hers. It wasn't like she couldn't see the situation of the battle, which was why she didn't understand.
However, her heart suddenly moved as she looked towards Zong Shou's chest. Beneath it, there was a ball of red light shining.
Was it the necklace that she gave to Zong Shou?
Kong Yao's eyes flashed slightly, following which her lips curled up. Her heart suddenly relaxed a little.
This was the king energy burning intensely. Even this treasure needed to go all out to be able to suppress it.
Although she couldn't look at the energy, she knew that Zong Shou's fate and destiny was definitely changing intensely.
If it weakened, then this treasure wouldn't have any movement at all.
Such a situation was a sign that the king energy was gathering and rising up.
However, why was the reaction so strong to such an extent?
Following this, she didn't bother about it. Kong Yao continued to hold onto her sword and look below.
If they thought that they would definitely win this battle, then they would be wrong.
At such a stage, they still couldn't be careless.
This battle would be the one where her name would spread across the Cloud World, Kong Yao.
They could only win, they couldn't lose!
Only to hear a loud explosion dozens of miles away. It was a stone castle that was collapsing.
Coincidentally, it was the stone castle at the front of the main army.
Luckily, a moment ago, the defending troops within had all retreated. Although the castle collapsed, there weren't many casualties.
The moment this castle broke, a ten thousand foot gap appeared in the entire defensive line.
Kong Yao looked on coldly and didn't say a word. She also didn't seem like she was going to give orders.
In the next moment, more than forty square formations of ten thousand men walked out from the stone castle. They didn't rely on the defenses and didn't use the power of the spiritual formation, directly standing in front of the Night Demon army.
What was more unexpected was that they weren't waiting there solemnly. Instead, they spread out this steel-wall-like formation and pressed down without any hesitation.
The enemy was strong and they were weak, but when the red and black torrents clashed together.
The dozens of square formations of the Night Demon Army were forced to retreat in an instant.
Kong Yao smiled when she saw this, "General Ren really knows how to grasp the chance …"
Zong Shou nodded slightly. Four hours of intense battle, relying on the stone castle, they used up the strength of the Night Demon army. Hundreds of thousands of people were resting up at the back.
At this moment, although the stone castle was broken, it was also when the Night Demon army was at their weakest.
This was why the moment the battle started, the Red Armor Warriors had the advantage.
Zong Shoxin didn't have high hopes. As expected, after the initial difficulty, the Night Demon army started to retreat. Along with the few Night Demon Army square formations at the back, they replaced the troops at the front.
The battle entered a stalemate once more. The aura of the hundreds of thousands of Red Armor Warriors started to weaken.
However, just at this moment, two ten thousand man formations with armor and weapons that were different from the surrounding Red Armor Warriors suddenly jumped out. They broke into the Night Demon formation.
At the start, the Night Demon army didn't care.
However, when these twenty thousand Big Dipper Sword Soldiers charged in like blades cutting through bamboo.
Pretty much everyone's eyes focused over.
Red Giant Swords rose up in an orderly manner and slashed down in an orderly manner!
Even if one was extremely powerful and could block one or two swords, they would not be able to block three or four swords!
Break through! Kill! Break through! Kill once more!
They broke through several formations and pretty much pierced through the enemy formation.
Just as the Night Demon army started to panic. The other areas also attacked at the same time. Hundreds of thousands of Red Armor Warriors once again forced the enemy to retreat step by step.
Although they were spread out on hundreds of thousands of feet wide formations, they were really well-coordinated. Their advance and retreat were perfect.
It also kept the pressure that the Big Dipper Sword Soldiers faced at the lowest level.
Wherever the twenty thousand large scarlet swords went, many Night Demons were incomparably alarmed. They flew up from the ground to avoid the swords. Some people even tried to throw down spears to block the footsteps of the twenty thousand Big Dipper Sword Soldiers.
However, in the next moment, tens of thousands of Red Arrows suddenly covered the sky.
They were the Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers!
In an instant, the Night Demons in the sky were pretty much empty. Close to ten thousand Night Demons fell from the sky.
The hundreds of thousands of Red Armor Warriors were the weaker side. They went from defending to attacking, suppressing the enemy such that they were forced to retreat. They were actually on the verge of defeat!
Maybe they felt that they couldn't hold on anymore. Right opposite Zong Yuan's Iron Cavalry.
A full six Grade-4 formations were pulled back and rushed over to where the close to a million infantry troops were fighting.
In that instance, Zong Yuan's cavalry finally moved. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry galloped swiftly, 1.2 million horse hooves trampling. They surged like a wave, coincidentally revealing a weakness after the Grade-4 Elite Troops retreated.
They also charged in like a hot knife through butter. Blood clouds surged, everywhere the three hundred thousand cavalry passed, it was a patch of white bones.
In just a moment, numerous Night Demon Army formations collapsed one after another. Their casualties reached 30 thousand.
Sōmorime's eyes flashed. At this moment, even he couldn't help but praise in his heart.
Although Ren Tianxing and Zong Yuan didn't interact with one another, their coordination was amazing! (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.)
