"We can't hold on any longer, General. Our brothers have suffered heavy casualties. We can't hold on any longer."
"His Majesty is dead, and the four marshals have all been killed or captured by the enemy. Let's retreat now!"
In the sky, the sun was already moving to the west.
On the battlefield on the ground, Fang La's army was also on the verge of collapsing.
It was because in the sky above the pine forest on one side of the battlefield, apart from the picture where Fang La was executed at the beginning …
Then, Bao Daoyi, the Heavenly Master, was stabbed in the chest and killed under a pine tree.
Later, the real-time live stream of the battle was even activated.
For example, Si Xingfang, one of the four marshals of the south, was smashed to the ground by a tough enemy general who looked like a devil with flames and black smoke popping up from his body. He was melted into molten iron together with his armor.
As for Li Tianrun, his body was blown into almost a hundred pieces by an enemy general who was wearing a leather bag and throwing out more than ten explosive Colorful Flying Stones in several seconds.
Nine of the 'Twelve Gods of Jiangnan' were attacking a silver-armored young general on the enemy's side with all their strength, but eight of them were killed by the enemy's Dragon's Ling Spear in a row on the battlefield that had been transformed into a world of ice and snow. Only one 'Hidden God' was left, who fled in a panic with an unusual method, and the army under his command was also routed after the death of the general!
Even the scene of the "sea battle" was projected into the sky by the enemy with the same "demonic technique".
Lord Wang, the Minister of War, was knocked into the sea by a "silver dragon" that flew out from the other side of the sea. Then, he was captured alive in the water together with the Nation's Advisor and the South Li General.
Three of the "Four Dragons of Zhejiang", the chief of the navy, were killed by an enemy general who was holding a saber with golden flames flowing on it and had a yaksha-like face. Then, they were dismembered by a man who was holding a harpoon and looked 60% similar to the former general who was commanding a large number of ghosts to scream and "dismember" them...
Those enemies were too strong.
They were not the bandits from Shandong at all, as their superiors claimed!
"Retreat? Where can we retreat to?"
The person who was addressed as "General" had a saber wound that almost stretched across his upper body. The blood that gushed out dyed the dragon-shaped jade belt around his waist red.
His name was Liu Yun. He was the Flying Dragon General who ranked first among the Eight Heavenly Kings (Generals) of the Nan Kingdom, just below the Four Marshals. In the previous battle, he and the Flying Water General, who ranked eighth, led thousands of soldiers to fight against the Ruan Brothers who led three hundred soldiers.
As a result, General Flying Water, who could manipulate water to attack, died tragically in the hands of Ruan Xiaoqi, who had the ability to divide water with his invisible harpoon. He also paid the price of being almost seriously injured by Ruan Xiaoer before he was rescued by a group of personal guards!
"Retreat to the seaside. I know the entrance to a secret cave hidden under the sea. It can hold up to a thousand people!"
A young man who looked like a captain of the navy army and had half of his ear blown off by the Twin Dragon Island pointed in a direction and said.
"A cave hidden by the sea? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
The Flying Dragon General's expression changed and he asked further.
"Hmm … General, after the secret cave was discovered by our navy, we reported it to His Majesty. His Majesty ordered us to keep it a secret. He asked us to secretly hide the food and weapons stored by the navy, as well as some of the treasures we collected in the Land of Inheritance, so as to leave a way of retreat in the dark! "
The young captain hesitated for a moment and spoke to the Flying Dragon General in a low voice.
"Really?"
The Flying Dragon General's eyes immediately glittered.
In fact, he had already believed the words of the young man who claimed to be a captain of the navy.
Although the navy army of the Nan Kingdom was almost wiped out, a few warships and a couple of hundred soldiers managed to escape. Then, Fang La distributed them to the infantry camps to atone for their crimes.
As a Deputy Commander-level Navy Captain, it was very reasonable for this person to know about the "secret cave".
"General, now that His Majesty and Heavenly Master Bao are dead, and the four marshals and the Minister of War have either been killed or captured … The rest of the people of the Nan Kingdom will follow your lead, General!"
Then, the "Navy Captain" lowered his voice again, which moved the Flying Dragon General even more.
At this moment, he was the highest-ranking person in the entire Nan Kingdom.
If they really hid first and gathered the scattered soldiers with the resources stored in the hidden cave, they might have a chance.
Since the enemy was still under attack from the other three parties, they might have a chance.
…
"We're almost there. The secret cave is right up ahead!"
Several minutes later, the Flying Dragon General led about two hundred soldiers into a forest near the coast under the lead of the young captain.
"Huh? Is something glowing up ahead?"
Looking at where the young man was pointing, many people were attracted by the red light that appeared in their eyes.
It was because a weird tree that was about three meters tall with a trunk and branches that seemed to be made of red jade had appeared in the forest.
"This … Could it be a treasure tree?"
Some of the soldiers of the Nan Kingdom were excited.
After they suddenly entered the Land of Inheritance seven days ago, they had run into a lot of fortuitous encounters.
For example, some people's armor suddenly turned into gold, and some people's sabers became so sharp that they could cut a three-foot-thick stone easily.
Some people even plucked a glowing fruit from the surrounding forest, and after eating it, they actually "regained their youth"!
Someone even picked a golden ginseng that was almost in the shape of a human and offered it to His Majesty, only to be baptized by the advanced Holy Fire.
Because of that, after discovering the unordinary Treasure Tree, some of the soldiers of the Nan Kingdom immediately became greedy.
Greedy expressions immediately appeared on the faces of some of the remaining soldiers of the Southern Kingdom, and they rushed over regardless of the fact that they were fleeing for their lives.
"This is mine …"
"I found it first!"
After they reached the tree, they all extended their hands to pull the red jade branches that seemed to be more valuable than gold. Some even drew out their weapons, trying to cut the Treasure Tree from the roots and drag it away.
However, what happened in the next moment turned the greed in the eyes of those soldiers into fear.
Pew! Pew! Pew …
It was because a lot of vines that looked like sharp arrows burst out of the soil below the forest that was covered in fallen leaves and pierced through the throats of the soldiers who were attacking with their weapons.
"There are monsters underground!"
Some of the soldiers hurried to retreat in fear.
However, they found that their feet had been tied up by some vines that crawled out of the soil.
These vines had the ability to change color according to their surroundings. In addition, everyone was attracted by the "treasure tree", so no one noticed it in advance.
"Ah! Ah!"
Some of the soldiers tried to cut off the vines that entangled them with their sabers.
However, hardly had they raised their sabers when they screamed.
It was because a lot of roots extended from the vines and pierced into their veins. Then, the color of the vines turned into red jade at a visible speed!
This also explained the origin of the tree's luxurious and precious red leaves that were comparable to jade.
"Not good! It's the blood-sucking Tree Demon that the navy ran into in the naval battle!"
The Flying Dragon General's expression changed greatly.
Because the navy was almost wiped out, the information about Blood wasn't spread out in the infantry at all. Only the leadership like him had heard it from some of the people who escaped.
However, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he didn't recognize it immediately.
More importantly, nobody could've thought that a tree that had been planted on the Mirage Dragon Warship could land and fight like the battle participants of the Twin Dragon Island.
Pew! Pew! Pew …
The moment the Flying Dragon General recognized Blood, he was also attacked by Blood.
He was also attacked by the blood. More than a dozen vines formed a large net and directly enveloped him!
