General Mu was not the strongest in the Southern Region army. Furthermore, his bald head gave off a barbaric vibe.
But in reality, General Mu had always been one of Princess Shan Yu's advisors. That was because he was calm in times of trouble.
But now...
When he heard that there were less than a thousand and two hundred Silver Horned Wolves left, and that there were still five hundred injured Silver Horned Wolves left, he could not help but change his expression.
This was something that had never happened before in the history of the Southern Region.
The Silver Horned Wolves.
Even though one Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry did not pose much of a threat in terms of individual combat ability, when three thousand Silver Horned Wolves were gathered together, it was a completely different concept.
The ancestors of the Southern Region had experimented on this.
They gathered all sorts of powerful beasts, such as the Steelback Rhinoceros, Purple Thunder Lions... but in the end, they realized that none of these beasts could compare to the Silver Horned Wolves.
If ten Heavenly Reflection Purple Thunder Lions fought against ten Heavenly Reflection Silver Horned Wolves, the difference wouldn't be too great. However, if there were more than a hundred of them, or even more than a thousand...
The difference was obvious.
And it was very obvious.
The Silver Horned Wolves were agile, ferocious, and fast. Once they latched onto their prey, they would not let go even if it died. Most importantly, the Silver Horned Wolves had an innate ability to cooperate.
Even if there were thousands of them, it would not affect their cooperation. In fact, after a long period of training, every Silver Horned Wolf could be used to its full potential on the battlefield.
This was something that other beasts did not possess.
Because of this, the ancestors of the Southern Region raised and trained the Silver Horned Wolves to become the most powerful Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry in the Southern Region.
But today...
This elite troop that the Southern Region was proud of had suffered a devastating blow. More than half of the 3000 Silver Horned Wolves had been killed.
What in the world had happened?
General Mu had never expected something like this to happen. Because, with the sensitivity of the Silver Horned Wolves, their mission was to lay in ambush on both sides of the road and buy time.
How could they have suffered such a terrifying loss?
"Could it be... a huge battle?" General Mu frowned. This was the only possibility he could think of.
General Mu was well aware of Teng Shisheng's abilities.
To be appointed as the leader of the Silver Horned Wolves, how could Teng Shisheng be such a rash person? On the contrary, Teng Shisheng knew his limits and was extremely patient.
Hence, it was impossible for Teng Shisheng to take such a risk and not be able to retreat in time.
Then …
The only possibility was that his whereabouts were exposed, and he had a close encounter with the Demon soldiers. In the end, after a disastrous battle, he escaped.
General Mu clenched his fists.
The losses had already occurred, and it was not appropriate to pursue the responsibility now. After all, the army's teamwork was the most important thing at this stage.
However, there were gains and losses.
The fierce battle between the Demon soldiers and the Silver Horned Wolves would at least affect the speed of the army. This would also buy some time for the reinforcements.
"General, the Demon … the Demon soldiers are here!" Just when General Mu thought he could take a break, he heard an anxious and panicky voice. General Mu finally snapped out of his trance.
"So fast?!" General Mu staggered and almost fell to the ground.
How could it be so fast?
Didn't the Silver Horned Wolves fight with the Demon soldiers? Under normal circumstances, the Demon soldiers should have been stopped. However, the Silver Horned Wolves had just stepped through the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement. Even Teng Shisheng had not had the time to report the situation to the top of the walls...
The Demon soldiers had already arrived?
What the hell was going on?!
General Mu really couldn't figure it out this time.
…
"Boom boom boom!" A loud sound rang out from afar. A vast expanse of black descended towards the Iron Hill Settlement like a huge black cloud.
It was an army that was lined up neatly.
The pitch-black and bright armor covered their bodies from head to toe, and the entire army was divided into two huge phalanxes.
In the square formation on the left, every soldier carried a huge black iron bow on his back.
Under the sunlight, it glowed with a metallic luster.
In addition, each of them had a huge shield carved with different patterns in their left hands. It was a black shield that was 1.5 meters tall.
In their right hands, there was a shining long saber.
Unlike the square formation on the left, the square formation on the right was made up of cavalrymen. From head to toe, including their mounts, they were all wrapped tightly in black armor.
On top of that, they each carried a black bow on their back and a long spear in their hands.
The Demon soldiers.
They were known as the strongest army on the mainland.
General Mu's face was extremely pale. He had always known that the Demon Soldier was very strong, but the strength he knew was completely different from the strength he was feeling now.
10 years ago …
General Mu was just a small commander at the border.
At that time, he had fought with the Demon soldiers. Once the powerful Demon soldiers charged into their midst, they killed all of their warriors. However, in the end, they won the war.
The reason was …
At that time, while Mo Bing was strong, he always had an arrogant aura. That was a kind of innate superiority and unwillingness to be disciplined.
They had been in a hurry to gain merit. Everything depended on merit.
This meant that they had no teamwork or strong restraints. They were like a plate of loose sand, rushing to kill on their own.
But in front of him, these Demon soldiers were so orderly that it made people's hearts tremble. The two square formations, from left to right, seemed to have been cut by a knife, forming a straight line.
One had to know …
This was the Southern Region!
The Southern Region was filled with all kinds of trees and rocks.
General Mu even saw a few demon soldiers hanging between huge rocks. Some of them were holding the rocks with their bare hands, while others were using their shields as a cushion between two rocks.
This was to ensure the orderly formation of the army.
This was something that would have been impossible ten years ago.
What was the power that bound these rebellious Mo soldiers into a true iron army, an iron army that placed discipline above all else?
Of course …
But that was not the main reason.
Most importantly, General Mu saw a group of people in black cloaks standing in front of the two huge phalanxes.
It was a team of nearly five hundred people.
Their black cloaks covered their bodies, but it couldn't conceal the terrifying aura they emitted. It was a kind of pressure that seemed to be real.
General Mu finally understood why there were only 1200 Silver Horned Wolves left.
Because, no matter how strong the Silver Horned Wolves were, they could not be stronger than this troop. No matter how fast the Silver Horned Wolves were, they could not be faster than this troop.
Streaks of red light shone out from the black cloaks, representing the strength of the demons standing at the front of the team.
The ten domain chiefs, vice domain chiefs, elites …
All of them!
"Why is this happening? Why?!" General Mu knew the situation of the Demon race too well. Because of this, he could not believe what he was seeing.
The Demon race was different from humans.
Their numbers were too few, so they cherished their lives very much. Especially some powerful devils, they viewed their lives as more important than anything else.
Similarly …
This was an important move that the Demon race had taken to preserve their foundation.
In the hearts of the Demon race...
The strong preyed on the weak. Protecting the stronger demons and letting the weaker demons fight, evolve, and grow was the foundation of the Demon race.
As such, the leaders of the Demon race rarely appeared at the front of the army.
At least …
They would not appear at the front so neatly. Furthermore, all of the leaders appeared at the front. Not a single one was hiding at the back.
General Mu's body trembled slightly.
He could almost imagine the scene when this troop walked at the very front, when the three thousand Silver Horned Wolves led by Teng Shisheng met this troop.
It would be a massacre, a one-sided massacre.
For Teng Shisheng to be able to lead the troop out of the massacre, to be able to leave one thousand two hundred Silver Horned Wolves behind, to be able to preserve this elite troop of the Southern Mountain Range, was already a miracle.
"What is going on? The Demon race … what has happened in the past 10 years?! "As a warrior of the Southern Mountain Range, General Mu was rarely fearful before the start of a battle.
However, when he saw the neatly lined up Mo Soldiers in front of him, he was still forced to take a step back by the enormous pressure.
General Mu was truly afraid.
In fact, the same scene had happened at the gate of the Blood Shadow City of the Demon Clan 10 years ago. At that time, all the ancestors and elites of the Demon Clan who thought highly of themselves in the Blood Shadow City were afraid.
When they saw the neatly lined up demon soldiers behind Yun Qingwu, not daring to make a single sound, it was impossible for them not to be afraid.
"Kaboom!"
The loud sound was getting closer and closer, wave after wave, and finally, it disappeared without a trace.
The army of black-armored demons finally stopped in their tracks. They stood at the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement like javelins.
"Boom!" Countless shields slammed into the ground, creating a thunderous boom.
Sunlight shone down from the horizon, illuminating numerous demonic eyes that flickered with a faint brilliance, revealing an unparalleled and powerful aura.
General Mu slowly reached for the two huge maces on his shoulders. He could only stop himself from trembling when his hands were on the weapons.
"The Devil Race has indeed come out in full force!" General Mu sucked in a breath of cold air as he looked at the innumerable Demon soldiers hidden in the forest.
He could still remember the scene when he and the others tried to persuade Princess Shan Yu back in the camp.
If not for Fang Zhengzhi...
The 80,000 soldiers of the Southern Region would be in the Sagely Mountain City right now. Thinking of this, General Mu felt a chill down his spine.
The fate of the Southern Region was in the hands of an outsider of the Great Xia?!
It was laughable and exasperated.
Just as General Mu was sighing, a soft sound sounded. The sound came from a huge black chariot in the front of the demon army.
The entire carriage was made of an unknown black metal, and there were all kinds of patterns and complicated patterns engraved on it.
At that moment, the door of the carriage swung open.
The soft sound came from the opening of the carriage.
Then, a figure dressed in white stepped out. She had long black hair down to her waist. Her face was covered by a veil and she wore a plain white dress. A white handkerchief was tied around her waist, accentuating her exquisite figure.
This was a very ordinary outfit.
It was not extravagant. It was simple and elegant.
She was like a lotus flower standing proudly in the dark, elegant and elegant. However, when the figure stepped out of the carriage, General Mu narrowed his eyes.
He naturally knew who the woman in front of him was.
Yun Qingwu!
The legendary Young Master of the Demons.
"So she is here?" General Mu was not too surprised to see Yun Qingwu. After all, it was impossible for Yun Qingwu to not be present in this battle.
However...
General Mu was curious.
He was very curious as to what method this Young Lord of the Demon Race, who was said to be able to calculate all the mysteries of heaven, would use to break through the molten iron fortress beneath his feet.
The Demons were powerful.
However, the fortresses of the Southern Region were just as powerful. Even though the Iron Hill Settlement was not built on top of a natural barrier, it was not something that could be easily broken through.
General Mu's eyes widened as he thought about this.
He realized that Yun Qingwu had no intention of stopping after stepping out of the carriage. Instead, she continued to walk towards the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement.
"What is she trying to do?!" General Mu looked at Yun Qingwu as she walked towards the gates. He could not understand what she was thinking.
Was she trying to negotiate?
Of course, General Mu wouldn't be so naive.
They had already sent troops to attack the Sagely Mountain City. It was impossible for them to negotiate now. Not only would the Southern Region not agree, even the Demon Race would not want to waste time like this, right?
So...
What was she thinking?
General Mu's eyes widened until they were about to pop out of their sockets. Yun Qingwu was already within range of the arrows.
