Sand and wind covered the sky, killing intent charged into the clouds. Hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers chased each other in the desert, killing each other.
Corpses were strewn all over the wilderness. Numerous grains of sand were dyed dark red by the fresh blood.
This was the northwest of the Yuanren World, known as the West Gravel Plains. It wasn't an important place, but it was on the southwest flank.
There was no danger here for 7,000 miles. However, there were dozens of large oases nearby that could allow the army to pass through.
Zhuang Yu stood on a sand dune and looked down at the battlefield below.
This time, it was a huge victory! The eastern country alliance army had a total of 130 thousand corpses here!
At this moment, the results were still increasing!
Tens of thousands of elite cavalry were chasing behind. They continued to split up, block, and chase away, breaking the enemy formation into pieces!
With 20,000 Big Dipper Swordsmen and 10,000 Xuandu Guards as the main force, a full 200,000 infantry followed closely behind. They swiftly struck forwards! At their fastest speed, they didn't know what exhaustion was at all as they continued to harvest lives.
Their aura was firm, their morale and spirit were at their peak!
Zhuang Yu had experienced such a victory dozens of times in a short few months.
From probing at the start to slowly tossing aside all estimations and attacking ferociously.
Large and small battles, they either won or lost. Like today, although they killed 100,000 people, it couldn't affect his mental state.
On the contrary, the fatigue on the faces of those cavalry soldiers made him feel worried.
Within 10 days and nights, they had traveled 4,000 miles. Even if they were elites made of iron, they wouldn't be able to hold on.
Even if they could win every battle, they would be dragged down sooner or later.
If his estimations were correct, in the following period of time, they would need to continue to run for their lives and put out fires all around.
Zhuang Yu frowned, the veins on his fists popping out. In the end, he released his fists and sighed.
He had led troops for so many years and rarely felt so helpless.
With close to half the number of troops, they had to defend a 10,000-mile long defensive line.
No matter which direction, they couldn't feel comfortable.
Actually, in his eyes, the best method was to take the initiative to attack, to use offense as defense. Strike their weak points and force them to fight!
Only then could he show off his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
With flames on all sides, he didn't know what to do and it was tough to deal with.
However …
The current Da Qian Immortal Court was truly lacking in confidence.
"Marshal Yu! I think it is time to withdraw the troops. Although the enemy is defeated, our army is also exhausted. We need to guard against that possibility — "
Zhuang Yu came back to his senses and continued to look in front of him when he heard the reminder of his advisor.
He was a little hesitant and unwilling, but he still nodded his head, "Order the troops to stop. Rest on the spot! All the follow-up matters, such as cleaning up the battlefield and consoling the soldiers, must be handled properly. "
In the desert, the Yuanren World's native horses could not gallop freely. Usually, they could only ride on camels.
However, when Zong Shou arrived at the Yuanren Realm, he brought with him a total of one hundred thousand fine horses of the Windrider and Cloud Treader types. However, he was able to walk in the air. In this desert, he wasn't restricted at all and could display his full potential.
At this moment, the number of Black Fox Iron Cavalry had already increased to seven thousand. After hundreds of battles, their combat strength far exceeded the true Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers of the Xuandu Guards.
Where the horse hooves stepped, there was pretty much no army that could block them!
This was why Zhuang Yu's original intention was to use the cavalry as an advantage here. He wanted to try his best to wipe out the enemy and destroy the northwest elites. This would reduce the pressure of the future battles.
However, the outcome today was a little unsatisfactory. Or rather, Zhuang Yu's expectations were too high.
The enemy general opposite was also really problematic. He didn't care about winning or losing and also understood the theory of preserving his strength.
Turning his head, Zhuang Yu looked back at the young advisor who reminded him.
Recalling the name of this person and remembering it, Zhuang Yu turned around and walked towards the tent behind.
At this moment, not only did the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty lack troops, but they also lacked good generals who could take charge.
This person wasn't threatened by his prestige and was able to remind him in time. It was obvious that his courage and knowledge were not bad.
However, after hearing that, the discussions of the advisors spread out.
"We still don't have enough troops! If not, why would these rabbits escape today? "
"It is the fault of those Country Rulers. A year ago, the Commander informed the countries to prepare their troops. However, till now, they only increased their troops by 20%, so what is the use? "
"Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. Those fellows seem like they can't be killed. Who knows where they got such wealth from? "
"I heard that half a year ago, just the Hon Ling Order alone sent 17 Spaceships. They brought over 3 million sets of armor. How long have I waited?
"What is annoying is that those few Country Rulers. Once we talk about grain, they will reject it. They won't raise taxes no matter what! Didn't they say that without the skin, where would the hair go? "
"If this goes on, who knows how long they can last?"
Zhuang Yu's brows rose up. This time, they were returning with a huge victory.
However, why was the Mu Manor so arrogant? They really deserve to be killed for messing with the morale of my troops!
He wanted to scold them, but for some reason, he stopped and acted like he didn't hear anything.
Just by looking at a leaf, one could know the changes in the four seasons.
As long as one was slightly smart, one would be able to see the current situation.
How could the thoughts of these people be stopped by the weapons in his hands?
His heart was filled with grievances. He just needed to increase military strength by 30%, a million troops. He wouldn't have such a tough time dealing with it.
However, he felt a little helpless. The people that the Ruler chose when he left were all really capable people. They were benevolent and disciplined and had their own persistence.
Just like what the new Xuan Country Ruler He Daoren said, the people of the southwest couldn't take it anymore. Forcing taxes on the people to go against the enemy, so what was the difference from before?
In just half a year, the people under his rule would have no way to make a living and become homeless.
It was because of the conflict of ideals in his heart that he could bear with it and bitterly hold on.
Shaking his head, Zhuang Yu rode his horse back to camp and then charged into his tent alone.
He spent so much effort and didn't sleep or rest for dozens of days. Even if his cultivation reached Celestial Realm, he still couldn't take it. He wished that he could just fall down and have a good sleep to get rid of this annoying matter.
However, the moment he entered, a warning sign rose up in his heart.
A bright light appeared in his eyes as he flipped his hand and a golden sword slashed furiously to the side.
There was a loud "Chi La" sound. The training on the battlefield, the martial path that had gone through thousands of battles caused this sword attack to be really condensed. However, it gave out a shocking sharp whistle to warn the people outside the tent.
As for the void, it was completely cut apart.
It didn't truly shatter the void but broke the illusionary technique. A person appeared within, his eyes flashing with shock.
Instantly, dozens of talismans gathered on his right hand. It caused his arm to be as tough as metal as he pointed out with a finger.
A strange force caused the sound wave to instantly disappear without a trace, completely suppressed.
His fingertip clashed with the heavy sword, intents clashing, energy entangling.
Just as the intense storm was about to explode out.
That person waved his sleeves and destroyed the energy that was spreading out, causing it to dissipate into nothingness.
He smiled, "Commander Yu, what sharp methods! Your sword path attainments are the best in the Yuanren World. However, I have no bad intentions. Can you stop and talk to me? "
Zhuang Yu looked over and was startled.
"You are the Celestial Order Tan Jing?"
Although he hadn't met this person, he recognized him a long time ago.
He knew that this person didn't leave after that battle and had been wandering outside of the Yuanren World.
This time, the attacks of the eastern countries had something to do with this person.
However, he stopped his sword. When he entered the tent, the person in front of him did have killing intent.
However, when he noticed that he couldn't do anything to him, he placed down his animosity.
Zhuang Yu also knew that he couldn't take down this person and there was no need to take the risk.
It wasn't that he was afraid or that he was arrogant. At this moment, the safety of the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty in the Yuanren World depended on him.
As a commander, he knew how to cherish himself.
Moreover, although the person in front of him could hide for a while. However, in just a moment, his subordinates would notice that something was up.
With everyone working together, it would be much easier to take him down than if he were to do it alone.
"That's right! It is my honor that Commander Yu recognizes me. "
Tan Jing smiled and nodded, "I came here to talk to Commander Yu …"
Zhuang Yu's eyes were expressionless as he focused on the sword in his hand.
"There is nothing to talk about between us!"
"That might not be the case."
Tan Jing shook his head, "Brother Zhuang, are you really going to hang yourself on the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty tree? You know the situation of the Yuanren World. Can you last for a month, two months, or three months? "
When Zhuang Yu heard this, he was filled with disdain, "If it is such nonsense, then there is no need to say it. How long can I last? What about victory or defeat? You and I will naturally see the truth on the battlefield! "
"I have seen Brother Zhuang's ability and know it in my heart."
Tan Jing smiled like he didn't care, "However, on the battlefield, you can use a weak army to block enemies several times your size. Who knows if you can face hundreds of Celestial Realm experts and solve the problem of the Yuanren World and the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty being wiped out? "
Zhuang Yu's expression shook as he looked opposite in shock. What did that mean?
He only heard Tan Jing say casually, "No wonder Brother Zhuang doesn't know! Today, the Cloud World Cang Shengdao is in danger. That Zong Shou has always been an ally of this sect, but once Cang Shengdao falls, he won't be able to save the world alone! How would he have the time to bother about this Yuanren World? When that happens, even the Cloud World Kenzō Sect and Buddhist Faction will retreat. Commander Yu, am I right? "
Zhuang Yu's eyes were filled with emotions. All of a sudden, he was filled with shock. Who knew whether or not what Tan Jing said was true or false?
"I definitely won't lie to you at all! There is also that Zong Shou who hasn't shown himself for a long time. At this moment, who knows whether he is dead or alive. However, even if he is, Tan Jing dares to guarantee that this kid won't be able to turn the tides! "
Like he knew what Zhuang Yu was thinking, Tan Jing's expression turned serious as he swore.
"Commander Yu, do you still want to be buried with this so-called Da Qian Celestial Dynasty? Although you are loyal, you have to think about the millions of people in the southeast. "
In the past, Zong Shou used the future of the Yuanren World to convince Zhuang Yu.
At this moment, he was using his own spear to attack his shield!
