"Get out of my way if you don't want him to die!"
Grabbing Qian Tan's neck and using him as a human shield, Ji Hao forcibly opened a path among those non-humankind slave warriors, who had been fleeing in all directions. Behind him, thousands of human warriors, whose bodies were covered in blood, followed closely behind, retreating quickly through a rugged path.
The three warships released a wave of arrows towards Ji Hao from a long distance away. But because of the long distance and those non-humankind slaves running around, those arrows didn't manage to harm even a hair of a human being. Instead, those arrows pierced into the ground and exploded into clouds of blood-red light.
Behind Ji Hao, the gate of a city, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was broken open. Tens of thousands of non-humankind slaves rushed in, excitedly rushed into the warehouse of the city, and carried out large amounts of good booze and meat, while yelling and waving their hands in joy.
This was the fifth city that Ji Hao had abandoned within the short span of three days.
Every abandoned city had over ten-thousand human warriors stationed in it. Every time, Ji Hao would use Qian Tan as a human shield and open a path for him to retreat. Those human warriors who had been retreating with him would scatter in all directions. As a result, he had already abandoned so many cities, but the number of human warriors following him was getting fewer and fewer, which made people feel that tens of thousands of human warriors had already fallen.
During the past three days, every time Ji Hao abandoned a city, three to five thousand human warriors would rush out from the nearby Evil Dragon Bay cities and attack Qian Po's army from the left and right sides, creating an impression that the humankind was unwilling to accept the failure, and was trying to take back their lost territories with their backs against the wall.
Facing a fleet of over a hundred sturdy metal warships, a human army of three to five thousand would often lose a few corpses after a wave of arrows, then drag a large group of wounded and bloody companions and flee in panic.
Seeing Ji Hao flee out of the city with a few human warriors once again, Qian Po, who had already swelled up to an extreme point, stood on the wall of the city that he had just occupied, raised a battle flag with a totem pattern high with both of his hands, and yelled towards Ji Hao's back, "Lowly barbarians, you can't stop me! In front of my, Qian Po's, powerful army, tremble in fear, despair! Then, kneel on the ground and yield to me! "
Over ten Yu Clan commanders around Qian Po laughed out loud together. They looked at the vast watery mist in the south and grinned so hard that their teeth were even bared. They seemed to have seen the vast plain to the south of the Evil Dragon Bay, and the vast, fertile, rich, and prosperous territories of the human race in the south, behind the plain, and behind the rolling mountains.
"General, we should continue the attack!" A Yu Clan commander puffed out his chest, elegantly bowed to Qian Po and said, "Great, supreme Blood Moon, because of your bravery and skillful fighting, we have taken five human cities in a row! Dear Blood Moon, in the history of the past one thousand and three hundred years, not a single Yu Clan noble has achieved as much as you have today! "
Qian Po elegantly threw down the totem flag in his hand and proudly looked towards the south.
Pondering for a while, he said blandly, "Tell the main force of the family that I don't need their elite reinforcement. I need more slave warriors and slaves, as well as more nimble small warships. I need more magic crystals and other supplies. "
Narrowing his eyes, Qian Po gave a 'naughty' grin and said, "How many magic crystals and supplies have we consumed in the past few days? Tell them ten times more."
The group of Yu Clan commanders instantly laughed in relief. This was the benefit that they deserved.
In the past one thousand and three hundred years, not a single Yu Clan commander had managed to break even one human city in the battlefields of the Evil Dragon Bay. Qian Po had taken five human cities in a row. Therefore, it was an unspoken rule that even the leaders of the family would tacitly agree to by making a little false report about the cost of the battle and giving the commanders some pocket money.
All of a sudden, a group of non-humankind slaves happily carried out over a thousand metal boxes from a warehouse in the town. They excitedly opened the lids of those metal boxes. Immediately, countless high-quality magic crystals, which were carved into standard shapes, were exposed in front of everyone, sparkling brightly.
These magic crystals should be the stored energy of the defensive magic formation of this city.
"Ah, such a great harvest!" Magic crystals were condensed from the purest natural powers, and were the toughest currency. Over a thousand boxes of magic crystals, along with the trophies of the four cities in the front, Qian Po couldn't help but grin happily, high-fiving and laughing with the other commanders around him.
Soon, Qian Po's official document, which asked for more slave warriors and slaves, was sent to the main force of the Qian Family.
In a portable battle fort, which was surrounded by over seventy Blood Moon divine towers, tens of Qian Family commanders gathered together, looking at this document sent by Qian Po with complicated looks.
"How's the battle going in the Blood Cloud Mountain?" An experienced and steady Qian Family commander asked about the latest battle report.
"Three strongholds of the humankind were taken down, but they were taken back again. Just today, the humankind paid over a hundred thousand casualties and caught the Di Family unprepared with a blood-offering magic. One of their Blood Moon divine towers was taken down!" A Qian Family commander grinned and said, "A divine tower, I'm looking forward to the look on His Majesty's face when he hears this news."
"So, could this Evil Dragon Bay be a trap?" Another Qian Family commander knitted his eyebrows and asked carefully, "Elders told us that we have to be extra careful. But, I don't think this place is a trap. "
"How dare these human barbarians set traps and ambushes against us?" Said a Qian Family commander proudly, "Besides, we all know that these human barbarians are all simple-minded. In the past countless years of wars against them, they have always fought till death. Traps? Ambushes? They don't have such a high IQ. "
"Besides, they attach great importance to the honor of their clans." An elderly Yu Clan commander grinned and said, "They would rather die than give up their strongholds on their own initiative. Doing so would only bring shame to their clans. Therefore … "
While those Qian Family commanders were discussing the battle situation, on the afternoon after Ji Hao abandoned the fifth city, Qian Po finally bumped into a hard nail.
This was a city that was many times larger than the previous one. In this city, which had a great defensive power, whole one-hundred-thousand condemned prisoner slaves, who were wearing brand new armors and holding sharp blades, had been fighting a bloody battle against Qian Po's army.
The fierce and cruel battle lasted for two hours. With the power of those gigantic warships and Xiu Clan magic talisman masters, Qian Po broke the city wall and crushed the defense of the city. Non-humankind slave warriors and slaves, who were a few times more than the number of human warriors, rushed into the city.
One-hundred-thousand condemned prisoner slaves had all died in the battle, and the number of slave warriors and slaves under Qian Po's command was twice as much as that of human warriors. Thousands of Jia Clan warriors had fallen as well, and over a thousand Yu Clan warriors were killed or wounded.
One-hundred-thousand human warriors had died in the battle?
Not long after this news was sent back, the main force of the Qian Family's army set out and rushed into the Evil Dragon Bay in a formidable array. They were like a starving, weird dragon, roaring towards the south. Within only one day and one night, they had already advanced over twenty thousand miles.
