Yuan Weiling's eyes narrowed, but then he calmed down and remained unperturbed.
He didn't need to worry about the battle today. He just needed to wait for the results from Gantian Mountain.
With several Saint Realm Experts from Daoling Vast Habitat along with the various sects working together, how could they not deal with one Zong Shou?
Even if he was invincible in this world, in the eyes of such people, he was just a slightly fat ant that could be wiped out with a flick of his finger!
With Zong Shou dead, Gantian Mountain was about to be wiped out. Zhang Huai, Ren Tianxing, and the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here were naturally like duckweeds without roots and there was nothing to fear.
Thinking about it, Yuan Weiling's emotions slowly calmed down. He glanced at Zhang Huai and wasn't willing to speak more with this person.
He controlled the mount to step down from mid-air and return to the main army.
At this moment, there was no point in saying anything. Once news from Donglin Cloud Continent spread over, naturally everything would be solved.
This Zhang Huai was really good at governing and if he could surrender, he wouldn't be stingy with rewards.
If he wasn't willing, then he could only be ripped apart by five horses and chariots to vent his hatred!
This kid! He only knew how to use his tongue!
However, at this moment, he couldn't allow this person to spout nonsense and mess up the morale of his troops.
However, there would naturally be others who would do it for him. As the Ruler, he didn't need to argue with this person.
Before this, he personally opened his mouth to recruit him to show his sincerity. At this moment, if he personally did it, it would be beneath his status.
At the front of the formation, there was a general dressed in Commander armor who scolded out, "Zhang Huai, you dog, you are so rude! My Ruler is trying to persuade you but you actually dare to speak such nonsense! If you don't surrender, after we break through today, my Great Yue will massacre you for three days! We will slice you into pieces, Zhang Huai … "
Yuan Weiling didn't bother, but he felt weird. It was already dawn. A few hours ago, he received news from Gantian Mountain that Zong Shou faced the Nine Glory Xuankong Cycle of Reincarnation Tribulation.
At this moment, it should have ended long ago.
Why was there still no news at all?
Keeping away his doubts, Yuan Weiling focused on what was in front of him.
At this moment, the armies on the three sides were all calmly pushing down the city.
There was no need for him to give orders. The few generals under him who had been on the battlefield for a long time began to move.
A group of 100,000 elite cavalrymen forced their way to the southeast and occupied several highlands there. It caused the armies coming from three directions to be unable to form an encirclement.
Of the dozens of square formations under the city walls, only a portion of them remained outside the city. He also turned around. In just a quarter of an hour, it had turned into a square array. The formation was tight, facing off against the enemy troops on the left, right, and back.
In the next moment, a group of silver-white cavalry broke out from the formation. He rushed to the top of a hill and observed the formation from there.
There were only about two thousand of them, but they gave off a great sense of oppression.
"Cavalry of the sixth order?"
Yuan Weiling's thick brows rose. Wasn't Zong Shou's Blood Cloud Cavalry in Donglin Cloud Continent?
Why was there a cavalry army made up of grade-6 Xuanwu ancestors here? He had never heard of such a thing before.
Looking at their clothing and mounts, they looked like the Zong Family Black Fox Cavalry.
However, these were the grade-3 elite cavalry that Zong Weiran relied on to sweep the west of Donglin Cloud Continent. How did they become grade-6 Dao Soldiers?
Looking out, only to see an extremely muscular general standing at the front.
With just one look, Yuan Weiling recognized that this was the current Donglin general who could be on the same level as Zong Yuan, the one who helped Kong Yao take charge of Huizhou, Ren Tianxing.
Looking at this person, he didn't care much. Actually, he had expected it. Since the ten towns of Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers were here, then this person would definitely be here.
This person was an Unparalleled Famous General who fought against the Night Demon army on Seven Cloud Mountain. He led the middle troops alone, using a weak army but not showing signs of losing, restricting a large portion of the Night Demon army.
Even after Zong Shou died, this person still had to be careful around him.
His eyes flashed past Ren Tianxing. Only to see that beside him, there were dozens of cultivators standing to his left and right.
Their cultivations weren't that high, even the strongest person was just grade-9.
Coincidentally, it was these few people that caused Yuan Weiling's expression to change. His face was devoid of blood.
He recognized these few people. Not long ago, they had met his Majesty. A few of them were the Sect Leaders of the few local sects in Huizhou.
Ren Tianxing led the army and appeared behind him like a God Army descending from the heavens.
It caused his Great Yue Dynasty's chances of winning to start to waver.
These few people didn't know the heavens and didn't know the situation. Surrendering and then rebelling, that was barely acceptable.
However, there were two people who came from South Wind Cloud Continent, two sects that should have served him.
It was because of their help that Yue Dynasty was able to go up against the various sects.
In that instant, the rage of being betrayed surged into his heart. It caused rage to burn in his eyes.
He knew that he treated these sects well and tried his best to recruit them. However, at this moment, these people stabbed him in the back!
Then, his mind regained its rationality.
There was definitely a reason why these two people would appear beside Ren Tianxing.
They were either captured by Ren Tianxing or something unexpected happened on Gantian Mountain's side.
Many thoughts ran through his mind. Yuan Weiling's chest slowly turned cold.
His ambition to establish the Southeast was like a bucket of cold water was poured over him, his heart turning cold.
"It seems like Ruler is unable to wipe out Shuangtian City this time! I, Zhang Huai, can avoid the pain of being stabbed to death. "
On the city walls, Zhang Huai was laughing, his eyes filled with a teasing expression.
He originally wasn't willing to say such mocking words, but if he could use them to shake the fighting spirit of the million-strong Yue Dynasty army, then it would be better. If he could reduce the casualties of Gantian Mountain, then why not?
"Ruler, are you finding it weird why it is so late at night? There should be an outcome on Gantian Mountain's side, but there is no news at all? "
Yuan Weiling's expression was dark and cold as he listened quietly. This was also what he was most confused about.
Then, no matter if they won or lost, there shouldn't be no news at all …
"Naturally, it is because my Gantian Mountain went all out to block! However, at this moment, no one in the Cloud World is willing to offend us and send news to Ruler … "
Zhang Huai was halfway through his words when Ren Tianxing finished. His majestic voice rang out in the wilderness, "Good, Ruler, you should know that two hours ago. Daoling Vast Habitat Huayun Zhenren and Zhongguang Zhenren have fallen. In the battle of Gantian Mountain, the Taoist Faction lost close to ten thousand cultivators. There are also forty Spirit Realm Cultivators. My Lord is fine and has safely gone through his tribulation. I am afraid I will have to disappoint Ruler … "
When he said this, the Gantian Mountain soldiers all around gave out thunderous cheers.
Many people didn't know who Huayun Zhongguang was. What kind of existence was that Daoling Vast Habitat?
They only needed to know that their Gantian Mountain seemed to have won once more.
Even just the news of Ruler Zong Shou safely going through his tribulation was enough for them to feel pumped up.
Yuan Weiling's eyes were filled with disdain.
Huayun Zhenren and Zhongguang Zhenren had fallen? What a joke!
With them protecting, even if they lost, they would be able to retreat safely. Within the Cloud World, who could do anything to them?
However, when he looked at Ren Tianxing's side, his heart sank once more.
Those few cultivators' faces were ashen white as they looked over expressionlessly. It was like they had silently agreed with Ren Tianxing's words.
That Huayun Zhongguang really died? Taoist Faction really lost?
No wonder, no wonder …
There was no news sent back. It was probably those sects. Great Yue, who had acknowledged him, had already lost and there was no need to contact them.
… Damn it!
Suddenly, in the distance, a glow that he had been waiting for broke through the air and entered.
It wasn't a normal talisman but a Three-Legged Golden Sparrow. With a flash, it was already in his hands.
Yuan Weiling's face turned green. Spiritual Beasts like the Three-Legged Golden Sparrow were really precious. It had the ability to cross worlds and could send messages from billions of miles away without fear of being intercepted.
His Great Yue Dynasty only had one. To use this item meant that all the communication methods from before were useless.
Taking the talisman in his hand, Yuan Weiling's heart jumped. He didn't have time to think about how Huayun Zhongguang had fallen. Suddenly, he roared at the top of his lungs, "Retreat! Troops listen to my orders and break out! All Guards Army troops stay behind and follow me. I will personally cover the rear! "
The moment he hollered out, the million Yue Dynasty troops were in an uproar.
However, when he said the last sentence, pretty much all the Yue Dynasty soldiers calmed down, their eyes filled with determination.
When Zhang Huai and Ren Tianxing heard this, they were both startled. They exchanged glances with one another from dozens of miles away.
The same thought flashed across their hearts. This Yuan Weiling was a true hero …
Ren Tianxing shook his head, holding the giant sword in his hand as he sped back to the formation.
He was different from Zong Yuan. Zong Yuan liked to personally charge and lead hundreds of thousands of troops to break formations. However, he liked to take charge of the back and control the troops to crush the enemy.
Along with his return, the five towns of Big Dipper Sword Soldiers immediately pushed forward and pressed in that direction.
※ ※ ※
Eight hours later, the sounds of killing at the foot of the Frost Heaven City Wall finally stopped.
At this moment, dozens of miles outside the city were covered in broken armor and weapons, as well as horse corpses and human corpses.
Many soldiers were passing through the area. XunMi treated those who were still alive and collected the corpses.
Gantian Mountain now worshipped fire and their armor was all red.
There were tens of thousands of them spread out on the battlefield.
However, there were even more corpses in black clothes and black armor in this place.
Yue Dynasty worshipped water which was why their armor was all black.
Zhang Huai looked down from a high vantage point and made a rough estimation in his heart. Thus, he guessed that the casualties of the Yue Dynasty would be around 500 thousand.
This battle could be said to be extremely intense.
The time when the casualties were the least was when the Great Yue Army first broke out of the encirclement.
Under Ren Tianxing's command, the hundreds of thousands of Da Qian soldiers were all killed. They were like a meat grinder, continuously harvesting lives.
Only then did the casualties rise sharply.
As expected, Yuan Weiling personally led the Guards Army to cover the retreat of the hundreds of thousands of Yue Dynasty soldiers. (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.)
