They spent a few hours to deal with the situation outside of the Yuanren World.
Zong Shou and Tai Chi, who had come out of curiosity, returned to the Yuanren World.
Only Ao Kun and Ao Yi didn't follow. They still rode Zong Shou's Royal Demon God Shuttle and stayed in the outer region.
At this moment, the ship battle in the World River had totally ended.
After a few hours of intense battle, one of the Taiyi God Lightning Ships under Shi Ruolan was sunk. Three of them were slightly damaged and needed to be repaired.
However, in the end, they managed to force six Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships to land.
This increased the number of Celestial Grade Warships to 15.
Along with the 10 Taiyi God Lightning Ships that the Shura Race would send over in a few months.
The Da Qian Celestial Dynasty's outer region fleet would have a total of 25 ships. Their strength had taken shape.
Although they were still weak, they couldn't be underestimated!
They could easily suppress the area around the Yuanren World.
Within the Yuanren World, the battle had already entered its final stages. At this moment, on the border, people were chasing and fleeing. Army after army were moving toward the east. Sieging and uprooting, they were like a hot knife through butter.
The outer region Jiudu Xianting was defeated. The Hon Ling Order and Jijue Celestial Dynasty also suffered heavy losses.
When the people in the world found out about this news, it would probably take a little longer.
However, one could feel that as time went on, the troops of the eastern countries were slowly losing their morale and panic.
There were many examples of them surrendering without a fight.
The most crucial battle of Moyang City had already come to an end.
The Earth Grade Dao Soldiers of Jiudu Xianting were pretty much all wiped out. Their commander had no choice but to use the strength of a million troops to block the 500 Spirit Changing Demon Slaying Warriors.
However, the Black Fox Iron Cavalry led by Zhuang Yu forcefully broke through the middle of the army.
Following which, the 40 thousand Big Dipper Sword Soldiers pressed up from behind and secured victory.
However, after this, although the eastern alliance army was clearly losing, they managed to hold on for a long time.
Until news of the outer region spread back to the Cloud World. Only then did the million-strong army completely collapse.
From Zhuang Yu's words, one could tell that he had a high opinion of the enemy commander.
"This person is an unparalleled talent. He has the same military strength and the same conditions. I am no match for him in a head-on battle. "
Although he was praising the other party, there was also a hint of arrogance in his tone.
Zhuang Yu felt that this was the only area where this person was better than him.
In terms of tactics, he was inferior to his opponent, but in terms of military strategy, he was superior.
With the same number of troops and the same conditions, if they were no match for the enemy, they would not give the enemy a fair chance to fight.
Zong Shou laughed to himself, but since Zhuang Yu said that, he didn't care. He began to pay special attention to this Jiudu Xianting general.
He was able to make Zhuang Yu admit that he could not win in a head-on battle.
Even in such a disadvantageous situation, he was still able to bitterly hold on for four to five hours.
Naturally, one could imagine the ability of this person to command troops.
An unparalleled talent, no matter where one was placed, was a really rare resource.
Based on what Zhuang Yu said, this Jiudu Xianting general did not need anyone to persuade him when the situation was unsalvageable. He just chose to surrender and let himself be captured.
At the same time, the three powers of Jiudu Xianting also surrendered, a total of 140,000 Xuan and Huang Grade Dao Soldiers.
Different from Heaven Grade and Earth Grade Dao Soldiers, they normally had restrictions on their bodies and were tough to convert. Their support cultivation methods were basically unable to be converted.
It was much easier to convert Xuan Grade and Huang Grade Dao Soldiers for one's own use.
There were restrictions, but it wasn't impossible. Their support cultivation methods could be easily changed.
Even if most of them were still loyal to the powers they originally belonged to. They could also be sold to slave merchants in the outer region in exchange for resources and money.
These people who sold slaves naturally had their own methods to deal with them.
This was the unspoken rule of this region. Zong Shou had no intention of being different.
He was merciful, but only to his own people and family. He wouldn't give it to his enemies.
Leaving their lives and not treating them harshly was already a sign of his benevolence.
140,000 Dao Soldiers!
Zong Shou was surprised. Even if there were only Xuan Grade and Huang Grade Dao Soldiers, there were only 20,000 Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers. However, it was still a huge fortune.
What he paid more attention to was the commander of these hundred thousand Dao Soldiers, Lie Que.
This person was around 30 years old, his body was muscular and strong, his demeanor was really calm.
Even if he was captured and brought in front of Zong Shou, his expression was still really calm and there were no changes at all.
Zong Shou looked at this person, his heart filled with surprise.
In this region, there were really few unparalleled talents. To be able to raise their cultivation to God Realm while leading tens of thousands of troops, that was even rarer.
"I heard that when you were captured, you told Zhuang Yu that you were willing to serve me?"
"Yes, I did say that!"
Lie Que bowed, "I see that there aren't many talented generals under Ruler. I, Lieque, am willing to volunteer myself to serve Monarch and conquer the outer region. "
Zong Shou smiled. The Da Qian Celestial Dynasty actually had many generals.
Among them, there was Kong Yao and Zhuang Yu, both of whom could be called Army Gods. Qiu Wei was also a wise general and could take charge of a region.
Zong Shou and Ren Tianxing were both unparalleled generals who could lead their troops.
People like Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou, if they grew up, they would also be really strong.
However, most of them were used in the Cloud World.
In the Yuanren World, Da Qian could only take out Zhuang Yu and Guixuan who surrendered a few years ago.
As this matter involved the old Ruler, Zong Shou didn't even dare to give him any important tasks. Even Zhuang Yu, who was slowly finding it hard to manage alone, didn't recommend this person to take control of troops.
This person wasn't an unparalleled general talent, but on the battlefield, his decisiveness was only a little weaker than Zhuang Yu.
After this battle, he could use him without worry.
However, Zong Shou still didn't have enough qualified generals.
If this Lie Que was willing to serve him, then it would be a huge surprise.
This person wasn't like Zong Yuan and the others, he only had potential and hadn't truly grown.
As a God Realm Cultivator, he must have been through many battles in the outer region during these thousand years.
His understanding of conquering the outer region wasn't something that Zong Yuan and Zong Shou could compare to, even surpassing Zong Shou.
The moment he surrendered, he would be a great general.
His heart was filled with joy, but Zong Shou's expression was still reserved and didn't show it at all.
"I heard that Liu Muchen spent a full seven years to recruit General Lie. As an Emperor, he lowered himself and personally invited you, using all sorts of methods. However, General Lie surrendered so easily today, don't you feel that you have let down your old Ruler? "
"A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. If Liu Muchen was a famous Ruler, why would he spend seven years to serve Jiudu Xianting. Lie Que had no choice. His so-called methods, apart from being respectful, he also used strength to threaten him. "
Lie Que said expressionlessly. He could see the unhappiness slowly appearing in Zong Shou's eyes, but he didn't change it.
He betrayed his old Ruler without any care, even going as far as to slander him. If it was any other Ruler, they wouldn't like him.
However, he had always been like that and didn't like Liu Muchen. There was no need to purposely hide anything and say anything good about his old Ruler.
Some things could be found out just by investigating.
"Lie Que has fought to the end for Jiudu Xianting today, going all out and having a clear conscience. He can't be buried along with Jiudu Xianting just because of some kindness? On the other hand, Ruler Great Gan was slowly rising like the rising sun. If Lie Que can submit, I will be able to become a good tree for Ruler … "
Zong Shou hesitated. Before this, he was filled with joy when this person surrendered. Now, when he heard Lie Que's words, he hesitated.
If this person treated his old Ruler like that, then what would he do to Zong Shou?
Lie Que seemed to sense something, his eyes dimming, "Lie Que knows that if I don't surrender, I will either be locked up for life or be tortured to death. I don't want either and in the end, I still have to surrender to Ruler. Since that's the case, why do I need to be so pretentious? "
He continued, "I can't guarantee that I will be loyal to Ruler. However, I will definitely be able to fulfill my responsibilities and do everything the Ruler asks me to do. "
Zong Shou's brows rose up and then he broke into a laugh. Do his best? That alone was enough for him.
It wasn't realistic to expect everyone to be loyal to him.
With the decision made in his heart, Zong Shou didn't hesitate anymore.
"With General Lie joining us, our Da Qian will be able to rise to the next level. You will definitely be able to rise to a higher level. How about we ask General Lie to temporarily be the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army?
Da Qian was split into front, back, left, right, middle, and five armies, with the Inspector as the main officer.
The position of commander was only lower than that of the Inspector. After Zhuang Yu submitted, he had taken up this position.
Lie Que was different from the others. He had proven himself on the battlefield and was a famous general that everyone respected.
So, if he was directly appointed as the Inspector, no one would have any objections.
However, Zong Shou wanted to see what kind of person this person was and whether or not he could be given such an important task.
Lie Que didn't hesitate and bowed, "I am really grateful and won't disappoint Ruler."
At this moment, Zong Shou still had numerous matters to deal with.
He had to take over the Yuanren World countries and prepare an army to continue conquering the surrounding worlds.
He also needed to send troops to take down a portion of the Nine Degrees Celestial Dynasty.
It could be said that he was so busy that he wished he could split himself into several pieces.
Less than 15 minutes after meeting Lie Que, he didn't even have time to have a deep conversation. Zong Shou could only send this new right army commander away.
However, before he left, he heard Lie Que remind him, "I heard that Ruler's navy captured Jiudu Xianting Navy Governor Yi Lingsu? This person isn't simple. If possible, Ruler should persuade him to surrender. "
Zong Shou was stunned. He had seen the ability of that Jiudu Xianting Navy Governor.
He wasn't as talented as Ruolan, but he wasn't much weaker. Using his vast experience, he was able to deal with Shi Ruolan.
At one point, he even caused the dozens of Da Qian spaceships to be unable to fight back.
However, what Lie Que meant was that he should spend some effort to persuade him to surrender?
Why did he need to do that?
Then, he heard Lie Que say, "This person comes from an artificer family and his family holds huge power in Jiudu Xianting. Jiudu Xianting's artificers who can craft Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships are all under his control. Due to being in the military for so long, his reputation is really high. If we recruit this person, we can pull over at least 10 of the remaining 50 Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships from Jiudu Xianting!
