Would the Southern Region soldiers save Fang Zhengzhi?
Of course not.
Their orders were to cooperate with the Demons and surround the Great Xia soldiers at the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement. As such, they might not obey the orders of the Demon Young Master, but they would not go against his orders.
However, these Southern Mountain Range soldiers who had emerged from Wind Valley did not represent the thoughts of all the Southern Mountain Range warriors.
If there was an army at the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement that could pass through the 50,000 soldiers of the Great Xia and the 100,000 soldiers of the Southern Mountain Range without any obstruction...
That was the 500 Silver Horned Wolves led by Teng Shisheng.
The Great Xia soldiers had seen Fang Zhengzhi lead the Silver Horned Wolves and destroy the Perilous Peak of Wind Valley. Why would they attack them?
The Southern Region soldiers would not. The Silver Horned Wolves were the most elite cavalry of the Southern Region. They represented Princess Shan Yu's authority.
From the moment the Great Xia army was surrounded and the Southern Mountain Range soldiers appeared, Teng Shisheng acted like an outsider, not making a single sound.
Because no one would even bother to hit him.
Even if there were a bunch of Great Xia soldiers and a bunch of Southern Region soldiers standing beside him, he could rest assured that it was none of his business and he could ignore them.
Of course, if one were to ask what Teng Shisheng was doing during this period of time, the only thing he was doing was silently following behind Fang Zhengzhi.
He was like a wolf, a wolf that was waiting for the right moment.
The battle between Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao was dangerous. Teng Shisheng did not attack. Then, Fang Zhengzhi was knocked out by Yan Xiu. This was the best opportunity.
However, Yan Xiu protected him with his life. As such... he did not attack.
After that, Fang Zhengzhi defeated Shi Kou and fought with Wu Ji. As a Supernatural State cultivator, Teng Shisheng could not attack even if he wanted to.
Wait!
He had been waiting.
He did not give up even as Fang Zhengzhi charged up the cliff. He waited silently. Of course, he could not stand too far away.
As such, when Fang Zhengzhi charged up the cliff, he chose to stand at the foot of the cliff. He could see Fang Zhengzhi when he looked up.
Was it difficult?
To others, it was indeed very difficult. But, for the Silver Horned Wolves, it was not difficult. Because, all of the Southern Mountain Range soldiers would consciously open up a path that would allow them to swagger through.
In reality, this was indeed related to the identity of the Silver Horned Wolves. However, it was not completely unrelated to the Silver Horned Mounts they rode on.
After all …
No one was willing to get too close to a Silver Horned Wolf with sharp fangs.
Hence, when the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves stood there, a small circle of two meters would naturally form around them.
Teng Shisheng waited for a long time.
Even though he felt that his chances were rather slim, he still did not give up. Because, he was riding on a Silver Horned Wolf, then, he had the nature of a wolf.
A wolf that would not let go of its prey.
Roar! A loud bestial roar resounded at this moment. At the same time, a huge figure leaped high up under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
That figure leaped very high. At the very least, when that figure leaped up, almost all eyes could see it clearly.
Then …
The figure landed on the ground and instantly transformed into a sprinting shadow. Without any hesitation, it charged straight into the wind valley. Behind this shadow, there were hundreds of equally tall figures.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Bestial roars rang out. They were the Silver Horned Wolves.
Lifeless, silence!
In an instant, other than the roars of the beasts, the rumbling of thunder, the pouring rain, and the rumbling of the cliffs, there was no other sound.
Of course, they could clearly see who the figure that had leapt high into the air was.
Teng Shisheng!
The leader of the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves.
The hero and warrior in the eyes of the Southern Mountain Range soldiers. However, just as they saw, wasn't Teng Shisheng a warrior of the Southern Mountain Range? Why would he save Fang Zhengzhi?
This was the first question that flashed through the minds of all the Southern Mountain Range soldiers. The second question was, where was Teng Shisheng bringing Fang Zhengzhi?
Why would he bring the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves towards the entrance of the wind valley?
No one would answer these questions.
Teng Shisheng naturally would not answer. He shouted at the surrounding soldiers, "Move aside, quick, all of you move aside!"
From his tone, they could tell that Teng Shisheng was in a hurry.
In reality, Teng Shisheng was indeed in a hurry. Even though he had succeeded, he was not confident that he could escape.
"Argh!" A clear chirp sounded above Teng Shisheng's head, and a gigantic black shadow hovered above his head, covering the sky and covering the earth.
"Put that shameless fella down!" Ping Yang's voice rang out from the Snow Wind Eagle.
"Ignore her, run!" Teng Shisheng didn't even hesitate before directly issuing an order to the Silver Horned Wolves behind him. Because, capturing Fang Zhengzhi was his true mission.
As for Ping Yang …
There was no need to worry at all. The wind valley was very narrow, so narrow that the Snow Wind Eagle could not dive down completely. As such, Ping Yang, who was riding on the Snow Wind Eagle, could only circle above their heads.
"Roger!" The five hundred Silver Horned Wolves replied in unison.
The tens of thousands of Southern Mountain Range soldiers stepped aside. They could not stop the Silver Horned Wolves. They knew that the Silver Horned Wolves would only listen to one person.
That person's name was …
Shan Yu!
...
At the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement, the fifty thousand Great Xia soldiers and the hundreds of thousands of Southern Mountain Range soldiers stood rooted to the ground. Everything had happened too quickly.
So quickly that they did not even have time to react.
But the reality was that Fang Zhengzhi had been saved by Teng Shisheng. Furthermore, he was fleeing towards the entrance of the wind valley with all his might.
"We have fallen into the hands of the Southern Mountain Range. Father, what do we do now?" Xing Qingsui looked at Xing Yuanguo worriedly.
"At least it is better than falling into the hands of the demons. Take down the Icy Monkey Settlement first. If we can win this battle, the Southern Mountain Range will no longer be our enemy." Xing Yuanguo's gaze was icy. As the commander of the army, he could only remain calm and rational.
"I understand!" Xing Qingsui nodded.
He could tell that the demons were determined to kill Fang Zhengzhi. However, this was the only reason why Fang Zhengzhi was valuable to the Southern Mountain Range.
As such …
Fang Zhengzhi's life would not be in danger until he was worth it.
"Kill!" Xing Yuanguo gave the order.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"..."
The fifty thousand Great Xia soldiers, the Mountain Breaking Army and the Dragon Protection Squad all sprang into action. They charged towards the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement.
The Southern Mountain Range soldiers began to fight back.
However, how could they, who had lost their main general, form a perfect defense like before?
...
On the cliff of Feng Su, Yun Qingwu stared at the figure on Teng Shisheng's back. From the moment Teng Shisheng leapt into the air, she had been watching. Even after Teng Shisheng charged into Feng Su, she was still watching.
The dozens of demon elites, as well as Bai Xing and Wu Ji, were all looking at Yun Qingwu. They were waiting for her orders.
However, Yun Qingwu did not give them any orders.
Ever since she kicked Fang Zhengzhi off the cliff, she had not said a single word.
The rain-like sword gleams stopped at this moment.
However, the rain did not stop. A gust of wind blew, causing the white dress and pink dress to flutter in the wind. They looked like two bright flowers in the rain.
"Aren't you going to chase him?" Yun Qingwu finally spoke. She seemed to be talking to herself, but all of the demons could tell that she was not very calm.
"I don't want you to chase him." Chi Guyan turned to look at the figure in the wind valley, then at the Snow Wind Eagle that was circling in the sky.
"I see, I understand." Yun Qingwu followed Chi Guyan's gaze and saw the Snow Wind Eagle in the sky. Then, she seemed to understand something.
"Are you leaving?" Chi Guyan looked at Yun Qingwu.
"Yes, are you leaving?"
"I won't be leaving for now."
"If you don't leave now, it might not be easy in the future."
"We can only be sure of what happens in the future when it actually happens." Chi Guyan's expression was as calm as ever.
"Then... let's wait and see." Yun Qingwu nodded, then turned and walked down the cliff.
"Let's wait and see." Chi Guyan nodded. She had no intention of stopping her.
...
When a battle lost its leader and the formation was broken, defeat was basically set in stone. The warriors of the Southern Region were not afraid of death.
But, who really wanted to die?
As the leaders of the Southern Region fell one by one, the Southern Region soldiers began to crumble. The gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement were taken by the Mountain Breaking Army.
Close to 50,000 Great Xia soldiers charged into the Icy Monkey Settlement, while the 100,000 Southern Region soldiers were mercilessly locked out at the gates of the settlement.
At this point, the Southern Region soldiers had two choices.
The first was to continue guarding the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement. The second was to retreat from the Icy Monkey Settlement.
One could almost imagine that the second option was decided without much discussion, because there was no possibility of them choosing the first option.
No rations!
This was the most realistic factor.
Would the soldiers who charged out of the Icy Monkey Settlement bring rations with them? Only a fool would launch a sneak attack on the Great Xia soldiers while pushing a grain cart.
The soldiers from the Wind Valley did not have rations either.
In other words, the rations they brought were only enough for three meals a day. After all, they were also here to launch a sneak attack, and it was a sneak attack from the back.
Speaking of rations...
There was plenty of rations in the Icy Monkey Settlement.
As such, why would they bring so much?
One side had no rations, the other side had enough rations to last them for two to three years. There was no point in fighting. Retreating was the best option.
"Retreat!"
Following the orders of the remaining generals, this mighty battle was finally declared to have ended. This was a fierce battle with a disastrous ending.
One by one, the Southern Region soldiers picked up the armored corpses.
Some of the corpses had been mutilated beyond recognition, while others were badly mutilated. However, the Southern Region Empresses didn't let go of a single vine armored corpse, even if it was just an arm.
Because...
This was the Southern Region.
This was a Southern Region that was plagued by ferocious beasts. A warrior could die on the battlefield, but he could not become food for the ferocious beasts.
This was the Southern Region, a place filled with bravery and innocence.
They were brave, they did not abandon their comrades. Even if they were defeated, even if they were chilled by the torrential rain.
The Southern Region soldiers did not retreat too quickly. In fact, they were retreating very slowly.
When the Southern Region army had truly retreated, the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement opened once again. Wooden carts were pushed out, carrying the corpses of armored soldiers.
What was different from the Southern Region soldiers was that besides carrying the corpses, they would also pick up the armor, spears, and spears that were scattered on the ground.
As an army fighting in a foreign land, it was not a small army.
Other than collecting the corpses, the soldiers of the Great Xia also had to conserve resources. Resources that would allow them to continue fighting.
As such, armor, spears, and black spears were indispensable!
This was war.
A cruel war. Regardless of whether one won or lost, it was always cruel.
Night fell, and the torrential rain subsided.
Small streams appeared on the wet ground, and the smell of fresh blood filled the air, lingering for a long time, even though the rain had stopped.
"Woo!" A horn rang out.
Balls of fire rose from the Icy Monkey Settlement. These were the lights that carried the souls of the foreign soldiers back home. They slowly rose from the Icy Monkey Settlement and floated into the sky.
"War, it's war again, a cruel war!" A voice rang out in the night. It was filled with grief and sorrow.
However, this voice came from the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement, and not from within the city. As such, it seemed a little strange in the dark night.
"The lord is here, the war is over." Another voice quickly sounded. However, this voice was more or less flattering. Furthermore, there was a sense of arrogance in it.
"Mm, go get the guards to open the gates!" A figure walked out from the darkness and came to the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement. He frowned as he looked at the bloodstains.
"Yes!" Another figure walked out at this moment. It was a middle-aged man wearing bright armor. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the tall city gate with a hint of arrogance on his face.
