Just as the Great Five Alliance was collecting the corpses and counting the spoils on the ground, Ye Tianze immediately gave the order to retreat to Stone City.
Although the Great Five Alliance had a lot of people, they were not fast. Plus, they were greedy for the spoils, so before they could react, Ye Tianze and his people had already retreated to the city.
The Great Five Alliance was stunned for a moment, but they were not in a hurry to chase after Ye Tianze. They had already blocked their retreat.
Unless the people of Stone City ran to Buzhou Mountain, they would be like turtles in a jar.
"Are we just going to give up the spoils to these shameless people?" The geniuses were very unwilling. They had risked their lives to kill the foreign races.
It was naturally unfair to let the Great Five Alliance take the spoils.
Hearing this, Patriarch Ming laughed, "The problem now is not whether we will give up the spoils, but … will you become someone else's spoils?"
The geniuses were not stupid. After hearing this, their faces turned ugly. A few of them even whispered that they wanted to abandon Stone City and return to the Great Five Alliance.
After all, they were geniuses. Although they had entered Stone City, they had not publicly left their original alliance.
Seeing this, Ye Tianze did not stop them and said, "If you want to return to your own alliance, I will not stop you!"
Just as he finished speaking, Lee Chao-young added, "However, you have to consider carefully whether the Great Five Alliance will still want you!"
The geniuses were already panicking. When they heard that Ye Tianze was willing to let them go, they immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry … we …"
The group led by Su Han made a decision, "It's not that we don't want to stay, but … we didn't come here … for …"
"I understand." Ye Tianze said, "I will not forget your friendship."
Su Han and the others did not expect Ye Tianze to be so accommodating. They did not dare to believe it. In their opinion, Ye Tianze had always been an iron-blooded person. He would never be long-winded.
There were only 150 geniuses left. Immediately, 50 of them chose to leave with Su Han.
Zhuge Qi advised, "It's not a good choice for you to leave now!"
"Don't be an alarmist. Staying here means death!" "I advise you … to come with us. After all, we haven't publicly announced that we're leaving our respective alliances."
As soon as he said this, seeing that Ye Tianze didn't stop him, dozens more people joined the group that was about to leave.
Ye Tianze naturally wouldn't stop him. After all, Su Han was willing to give up the enmity with the Heavenly Dao Academy and come to his stronghold to help him. This was a moral support.
Until now, he had not brought any benefits to Su Han and the others. Instead, he had put them in danger.
Ye Tianze didn't know what would happen next, so he definitely wouldn't stop Su Han and the others from leaving. If there wasn't any danger, he even hoped that everyone would leave and he would defend this stronghold alone.
However, although there were people who wanted to leave, there were also people who chose to stay. Ye Tianze didn't expect Tang Yao to leave Su Han's group and return to his side.
However, only Tang Yao came back. There were even more people who left.
"If the stronghold is defended, I will still welcome you back!" Ye Tianze assured them before they left.
Su Han lowered his head in shame. However, he quickly raised his head and led his people away from the stronghold. They slowly walked towards the Great Five Alliance.
Lee Chao-young whispered, "Your Excellency, you are too merciful. How can you let them go at this time?"
"The sky wants to rain and the mother wants to marry. What can you do?"
Ye Tianze said, "If they can go back, they can save their lives. I hope that after a while, all of you don't hesitate and go back."
Zhuge Qi and Zhou Chong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Rumble!
Just at this moment, something strange happened. Su Han led a few dozen people to the front of the Great Five Alliance's formation and said something.
The Great Five Alliance's army suddenly lit up with the light of a secret technique. The dozens of people who left, including Su Han, were instantly turned into ashes.
On the city wall, Tang Yao's expression changed when he saw this scene. He roared, "Why!!!"
"It seems that they have made up their minds. They don't want to leave anyone alive!"
Zhuge Qi's expression was unsightly.
Ye Tianze clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his flesh. However, he didn't say a word. The people present were glad that they didn't leave.
However, their eyes were filled with despair.
"Tiger Guards, fight to the death!" Master Ming ordered.
The remaining hundred or so Tiger Guards immediately drew their swords and prepared to fight to the death. Originally, they only needed to defend against the invasion of the foreign tribes.
However, the stronghold was still in its three-month protection period. The Great Five Alliance violated the army's rules and attacked the stronghold. This was different.
"City Lord, you should take your people and leave. We can buy you some time," Master Ming said.
"Go where?"
Ye Tianze smiled bitterly. "Buzhou Mountain? Don't forget that if we go to Buzhou Mountain, we will die without the stronghold's supplies. The Great Five Alliance won't let us go so easily. "
Master Ming didn't say anything else.
"If they want to fight, we will fight for them!"
Ye Tianze said, "If I survive, I will make them pay for this blood feud tenfold."
Hearing this, Tang Yao felt better. He asked softly, "You … you don't blame them?"
"Why would I blame them? They aren't my subordinates, and they didn't betray the tribe. I think … most people would make that choice in that situation. They aren't cowards. They just want to live."
Ye Tianze said, "However, from today onwards, everyone who stays in the stronghold will be my brothers. I will always remember the choice you made today."
Everyone smiled bitterly, but their hearts were still slightly warm. Tang Yao felt completely different. He was the one who invited Su Han and the others to the stronghold.
After arriving at the stronghold, Tang Yao didn't even dare to speak to Ye Tianze. However, he still remembered the battle in the Mountainsea Coliseum. He remembered how Ye Tianze clearly could have killed him, but had spared him. Furthermore, Ye Tianze had saved his life when the outsider blood in him had caused a backlash.
It was because of this that Tang Yao chose to come here. However, he didn't expect today's result.
But this time, he raised his head and looked at Ye Tianze. He suddenly realized that Ye Tianze wasn't as intimidating as he thought.
The people of the Great Five Alliance didn't want to delay any longer. They rushed forward, surrounding the stronghold.
The hands of the Tiger Guards holding their blades were already wet.
"Attack!"
Following this order, fifty thousand people surged up the walls like a tide. The light of spiritual energy was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
The order to attack was like the last straw, crushing the two hundred people on the walls.
"Stop!!!"
Just as they were in despair, a loud voice resounded above the battlefield. Following that, dozens of flying shuttles arrived and hovered above Stone City.
Seeing the white tiger insignia on the flying shuttles, Master Ming finally let out a sigh of relief. He shouted, "They're finally here. I knew that Lord White Tiger wouldn't leave us in the lurch!"
Ye Tianze couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the White Tiger Corps' flying shuttles arrive. He hadn't actually expected the Corps to come to his rescue.
After all, he didn't know what kind of person Lu Xiufu was. Was he someone who would do anything for benefits, or did he have his own principles?
It was obvious that Lu Xiufu wasn't a protector of the Eastern Region who would do anything for benefits. He also had his own principles.
"They're here! Reinforcements are here! They're the White Tiger Corps' reinforcements!" The people on the walls were on the verge of collapse.
The reinforcements of the army had pulled them back from the brink of death. Although the world was cruel, it was wonderful to be alive.
Many people collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down their faces. Many people roared in anger and cursed the 18 generations of ancestors of the Great Five Alliance.
However, what they hadn't expected was that the Great Five Alliance didn't have any intention of stopping their attack when they saw the arrival of the White Tiger Corps' reinforcements.
The middle-aged man at the front shouted, "Destroy them! Destroy them! The stronghold will be ours! The Corps won't dare do anything to us!"
When the geniuses heard this, they immediately felt despair. They could only watch as the Great Five Alliance's people rushed to the top of the walls and attacked them.
However, the Tiger Guards didn't let down their guard. They brandished their blades and met them head-on. Ye Tianze, Gao Cenyun and the others also didn't let down their guard.
They did their best to fight and block these people. Only then did the geniuses understand that the battle wasn't over. If they wanted to survive, they would have to go all out.
On the flying shuttle, Lu Ran was standing with a middle-aged man. When he saw that the Great Five Alliance's people hadn't stopped attacking, his expression changed.
Before he could say anything, the middle-aged man beside him said coldly, "How bold! They actually dare to act so rashly right under my nose? I think they're tired of living!"
The middle-aged man's figure flashed and he directly arrived in front of the Great Five Alliance's core camp. A boundless pressure erupted from his body. That was the Emperor's Might.
At the same time, a world spread out and enveloped everything within dozens of miles. Not a single one of the Great Five Alliance's fifty thousand people could escape the pressure of the world.
In the alliance, the five elites at the peak of Earth Realm who led the army were all grabbed by the neck and lifted up like chickens.
Their limbs flapped in an attempt to break free, but they couldn't.
"Those who dare to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"
The middle-aged man's angry roar echoed throughout the battlefield. The Great Five Alliance's experts who were attacking immediately felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Kill without mercy!"
At the same time, the White Tiger Corps' people descended from the flying shuttle. Their shouts were filled with the might of the human race's army.
"Great General … spare us …" The five Earth Realm experts who were grabbed by the neck had extremely ugly expressions.
This person was the White Tiger Corps' Great General, Long Yan. However, no one had expected that he had already entered the half-step Martial Emperor Realm from the peak Heaven Realm.
"Spare us?" The middle-aged man clasped his hands behind his back and sneered, "I see that you don't put me in your eyes at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five Earth Realm experts who were grabbed by the neck were suddenly thrown down from the sky by a powerful force and heavily smashed into the ground.
