Flames rose up from the Manchurian camp, as many soldiers were engulfed in flames, screaming in agony. A large number of soldiers managed to escape from their own tents, and began to flee.
When the Manchurian soldiers heard Yue Zhong's shouts, and saw the flames rising from the golden tents, they began to panic, not knowing what to do. A large number of soldiers fled in all directions.
"Do it!!" When Bai Xiao Sheng heard Yue Zhong's shouts, his eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he commanded his elite troops to launch an assault on the Manchurian soldiers.
The snipers among the elites quickly took out their guns and aimed at the Manchurian soldiers before pulling the trigger.
Peng! Peng!
Following the sounds of gunfire, a number of Manchurian soldiers stationed at the observation posts were shot in the head.
Bai Xiao Sheng's figure flashed like a phantom as he charged towards the Manchurian camp, the blade in his hands flashing out, easily slicing through the barbed wire, before leading his troops into the camp.
Currently, the entire Manchurian camp was in flames, and the Manchurian soldiers were in a state of chaos. In an instant, they were being slaughtered by Bai Xiao Sheng's elite troops.
Xuan Zhen shot out from the golden tent with a green aura, roaring out: "This Emperor is here!! This Emperor is not dead!! "
The soil on the ground rumbled, as a huge earth pillar shot towards the skies, extending about 10m. At the top, a huge mound of earth opened up, revealing Ao Dou and Pao-Er Tai.
Ao Dou roared out: "We're fine! Everyone, listen up! Don't panic! Organize your defenses! "
Under the roars of Xuan Zhen and Ao Dou, the entire Manchurian camp could hear them clearly. However, at this time, there were many tents that had been set ablaze, and the Manchurian soldiers were in a state of chaos. Not many could maintain their cool.
Hong! Hong!!
Yue Zhong's Devil Flame blasted into a warehouse filled with bullets and cannons, igniting the ammunition and causing a huge explosion.
When Xuan Zhen saw that, his face fell, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Damn beast!! Damn beast!! Yue Zhong, I will definitely tear you apart!! I will tear you to shreds!! "
Those bullets were Xuan Zhen's treasures. The military industry of the Manchurian Empire was very backward. They could only barely reload bullets and make new ones by hand. As for the ammunition, he had to rely on the leftovers from before the apocalypse. There were over 70% of the ammunition that the Manchurian Empire had. Now that he had destroyed it, the Howitzers in his hands would become a pile of scrap metal due to the lack of ammunition.
Xuan Zhen roared out in rage, and together with Ao Dou and Bao Er Tai, they chased after Yue Zhong.
Groups of experts from the White Armour Army quickly gathered around Xuan Zhen and the other two, forming a terrifying army.
Yue Zhong did not dare to clash head on with Xuan Zhen, as he continued to unleash his Devil Flame, incinerating the surrounding tents. Whenever he came across any Manchurian soldiers, he would kill them with a swing of his blade. The entire Manchurian camp was set ablaze, turning the entire place into a sea of flames.
A White Armor Army soldier was running at full speed. Suddenly, he silently slashed out from a dark corner, drawing a mysterious trajectory and piercing into the White Armor Army soldier's heart.
The soldier did not even have time to make a sound before his heart was pierced, and he slumped to the ground.
Tenpyo Saka glanced at the White Armor soldier on the ground, before silently diving into the darkness in search of more valuable prey. She loved to assassinate high-level Enhancers and the upper echelons of the Manchurian Empire. Every time she killed one, she would feel a sense of accomplishment.
Xuan Zhen and the rest continued to chase after Yue Zhong, although they were enraged, there was nothing they could do about Yue Zhong's speed.
Ao Dou suggested to Xuan Zhen: "Your Majesty! This won't do, if we continue to chase him, we will only be led by the nose. I feel that we should stabilize our footing, and gather our forces to deal with the invaders. "
Xuan Zhen also awoke from his rage, as he gritted his teeth and replied viciously: "Fine!"
Xuan Zhen, who had recovered from his rage, quickly gathered his troops. The soldiers in the tent were all elites of the Manchu Empire, and although a portion of them had suffered heavy casualties under the ambush of Bai Xiao Sheng and his Evolvers, there were still a few who quickly gathered around their commanders and formed into small groups to resist the enemy. Under Xuan Zhen's orders, the small groups quickly gathered around Xuan Zhen, forming a huge group.
The moment the Manchurian elites gathered, Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest no longer stood a chance.
"Retreat!" Bai Xiao Sheng observed the situation and gave the order to retreat. If they were to attack head-on, he had the confidence of killing another 500 with these 90 Evolvers, but they would have to pay a heavy price as well. Hence, he chose to retreat.
Under Bai Xiao Sheng's orders, all the Evolvers who followed Yue Zhong began to retreat soundlessly. They were the elites of the special forces, and ambushes, assassinations, and sabotage were their forte. Attacking a unit that was already prepared was not something they could do.
Unlike the clumsy zombies, a thousand well-trained soldiers armed with firearms could definitely pose a threat to a hundred Evolvers.
The moment the Manchurian troops gathered, they immediately set up defenses around the granary. If the granary was destroyed, then their hopes would be dashed, and they might not even be able to retreat.
The Manchurian troops surrounded the granary tightly, and there were White Armor soldiers everywhere. Ao Dou, Xuan Zhen and Bao Er Tai had even stationed themselves on top of the granary, preventing Yue Zhong from storming it.
"Do you think I won't be able to do anything?" He looked at the Manchurian troops surrounding the granary and laughed coldly in his heart. He pulled out his Falcon Sniper Cannon and aimed at one of the White Armor soldiers, and pulled the trigger.
A beam of light flashed, and the White Armor Army soldier was directly hit by the sniper cannon shell. His body exploded into pieces, and his flesh and blood splattered all over the ground.
Seeing this terrifying scene, all the soldiers of the Manchu Empire were so frightened that they hid behind cover, not daring to show their heads.
With a thought, a Type 2 Green Jiao-Python of over a dozen meters appeared, opening its jaws and spitting out a toxic mist at the Manchurian troops.
"Ah!! Save me!! "
"Save me!!"
"I don't want to die!!"
"Save me!!"
"… …"
The Azure Jiao-Dragon's poison mist was extremely corrosive, and could even corrode a rocket launcher into a puddle of pus. When the poison mist landed on the Manchurian Empire's camp, a large number of the Manchurian Empire's soldiers were instantly disintegrated. Their eyes were blinded by the poison, and they struggled, tearing their skin apart as they screamed in pain.
Ao Dou stared at the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python that was still spitting out toxic mist, and his eyes flashed with rage as he roared out, "Damn beast!! It can actually summon a Type 2 poison-type Mutant Beast!! White Armor Troops, kill that monster!! "
6 White Armor elites with the Strengthen Gun skill immediately popped out from behind cover, as they chased after the rampaging Type 2 Green Jiao-Python and pulled the trigger.
When the 6 beams slammed into the Type 2 Green Flood Dragon, 6 holes were blasted open on its body, and countless streaks of light flowed out of the Type 2 Green Flood Dragon.
Receiving such a heavy blow, the Type 2 Green Jiao-Python could not help but writhe and writhe in pain. Although this Type 2 Green Jiao-Python was a summoned beast, it would still be injured upon receiving an attack, and would feel pain.
The Type 2 Green Jiao-Python's body twisted for a while, before disappearing from its location.
The corners of Yue Zhong's mouth curled, as his eyes flashed with a cold glint. He raised his Electromagnetic Gun and fired at one of the beams.
With a flash, the elite White Armor soldier who had used the Strengthen Gun to injure the Green Jiao-Python was blasted apart by Yue Zhong.
Before the rest could react, the next beam from the Electromagnetic Gun had already blasted the body of another ranged soldier with the Strengthen Gun skill.
The remaining 4 White Armor soldiers immediately reacted, as they rolled to the side in an attempt to evade Yue Zhong's attack.
After killing 2 of the White Armor soldiers, Yue Zhong disappeared from his location, swiftly making his way to another location.
"Damn it!!" Ao Dou saw how Yue Zhong had killed 2 ranged soldiers with the Strengthen Gun skill and could not help but curse out in anger.
The Strengthen Gun skill was one of the rarer Level 3 skills. At the same time, to train it, one needed to have a strong firearm, and killing monsters to level up was much more difficult than other sword-wielding Enhancers. Every single Enhancer with the Strengthen Gun skill was a treasure to many factions. In the entire Manchurian Empire, there were only 6 Enhancers who had the skill, and they were still alive to enhance it 3 times. Now that 2 of them had died, this caused Ao Dou, the leader of the White Armor soldiers, to feel a pang in his heart.
After Yue Zhong had killed the 2 ranged soldiers with the Strengthen Gun skill, he activated his Second Order Stealth and hid in the darkness, staring at the granary silently like a ferocious tiger.
The Manchurian Empire had its own elites, and Yue Zhong was not willing to take the risk of attacking the granary.
In the dark of the night, the Manchurian elites did not dare to close their eyes, and were on high alert.
All of a sudden, gunshots rang out from a corner, attracting the attention of many Manchurian experts. Not long after, when the White Armor soldiers arrived, there were already 5 corpses on the ground.
The moment the White Armor soldiers moved to another corner, 3 sharp bone spikes suddenly shot out from behind a rock, piercing 3 White Armor soldiers and nailing them to the ground.
When the elites of the White Armor Army turned their heads, White Bones retracted its bone spear and flew to a large rock 200 m away. It then crouched on the ground and quickly crawled like a hunter. With a few flashes, it had already disappeared.
Yue Zhong, White Bones and Tenpyo Saka continued to ambush the ordinary Manchurian soldiers without a care for their reputation. Every 2 or 3 they killed, they would change positions, causing the Manchurian elites to have a headache.
In the end, Ao Dou had no choice but to adjust the distribution of his forces, retracting them and sending a large number of experts to stand guard at the frontlines. Only then did Yue Zhong and the rest restrain themselves.
By the next morning, the soldiers of the Manchurian Empire were all bloodshot and fatigued to the extreme. Yesterday, they had hurried through the Central Plains, and fought with the Gold Wolf Riders for an entire night. After that, they had to fight with the Hans in Tian Mu Town for another day. The last night, they had to suffer under Yue Zhong's watchful eyes. Under such circumstances, it was already a miracle that they had not collapsed.
Xuan Zhen's eyes were bloodshot as he asked Ao Dou, "How is it?"
Ao Dou's expression was solemn, "Last night, we lost 653 soldiers, while 1,200 escaped. Currently, we have more than 2,800 soldiers in our hands. The ammunition depot has been destroyed, and our self-propelled cannons can only fire one more time. "
When Xuan Zhen heard that, his face turned green and white, before he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!!"
"Your Majesty!!"
The officials around Xuan Zhen were shocked, and quickly stepped forward to support him.
Xuan Zhen wiped the blood from his mouth and spat out word by word, "Retreat!! Convey my orders, retreat to Shengjing immediately!! "
One general was taken aback as he asked, "Why? Your Majesty, Tian Mu Town is already on its last legs, as long as we put in a little more effort, we can take them down!! "
Xuan Zhen's eyes flashed with a clear glint, as he replied, "Last night, the ones who attacked us were about a hundred elites comparable to the White Armor Army. Although we have the numbers, everyone is exhausted, and we can't even display our full strength. Even if we take down Tian Mu Town, we will suffer a huge loss. It would be a waste for the Gold Wolf Riders and the Mongol King. What we need to do now is to protect ourselves. "
As an overlord, Xuan Zhen knew how to weigh the pros and cons. His troops had suffered heavy losses, and were exhausted. Returning to Shengjing to rest was the best course of action.
After receiving Xuan Zhen's order, the Manchurian Empire's army, which had suffered heavy losses, began to retreat. When they had come, they had dealt a heavy blow to the Huangjin Clan's Gold Wolf Riders, but when they returned, they were in a sorry state, with less than 20% of their forces remaining.
Seeing that the Manchu Empire had retreated, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief. After a night of arson, ambushes, and assassinations, his Stamina and Spirit had been depleted, and he was exhausted. If the Manchu Empire had insisted on taking down Tian Mu Town, he had the confidence of fighting with both sides, but there was no guarantee of victory. Now that the Manchu Empire had retreated, regardless of whether it was for the Manchu Empire or Yue Zhong, it was the best outcome. (To be continued.
