Chong Changqing didn't get the news that he had been tricked by Lu Xiufu.
He just couldn't suppress the Alliance's cultivators anymore. They had agreed to wait for half a month, but half a month had passed.
They had agreed to wait for three more days, but they hadn't even seen the Alliance's shadow after three days. If the foreign races had surrounded the entire stone city …
In their despair, they could only fight because they knew that being captives of the foreign races, especially those of the Asura Race, meant certain death.
The Asura Race was bloodthirsty. The stronger the cultivator, the purer their blood. When the Asura Race captured captives, they wouldn't kill them immediately. Instead, they would raise them in captivity and bleed them every day.
In the eyes of the foreign races, captives were called livestock!
However, the foreign races didn't seal off the west gate. On the contrary, ever since the foreign races came here, the west gate hadn't been attacked by many foreign races. They only sent some soldiers to guard it symbolically.
Now that there was still hope of escaping, even if Chong Changqing suppressed those old monsters with military orders, they weren't willing to fight for him.
No one wanted to die in the stone city with their cultivation. If there were no more resources, they could still fight for them!
But if they lost their lives, they would have nothing left.
As for the safety of the human race, no one cared. Even if they ran, there was still the White Tiger Corps. Even if the White Tiger Corps was gone, there was still the entire human race!
If it really reached the point of life and death, they wouldn't be any better, but wouldn't others be no better?
Because of this, Chong Changqing could no longer suppress these people, especially those old monsters. At this moment, they didn't listen to Chong Changqing at all.
In total, nearly 600,000 of the original million cultivators had died in the hands of the foreign races. Less than 300,000 had escaped.
The foreign races had been trailing behind, as if they weren't going to force them to stay.
Chong Changqing ran for a few hours before he realized that he had been tricked. Those old monsters also realized that they had been tricked because they hadn't seen a single soldier along the way, not even a scout.
What half a month, what three days, what reinforcements would arrive immediately? What detour? It was all a lie!
Chong Changqing even suspected that the army had already retreated to White Tiger City!
At this moment, a cultivator suddenly appeared in front of them. Chong Changqing recognized this cultivator. It was none other than the envoy who had lied to him earlier, saying that reinforcements would arrive after three more days.
When he saw this emissary, Chong Changqing's face turned ashen, but he didn't make a move immediately. Although he had expected this, he didn't dare to be sure!
The emissary slowly walked over. Seeing their sorry state, he asked, "What happened to you all?"
Chong Changqing said, "The stone city has been breached and we have been fighting for three days. Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
The emissary was not nervous at all, he said, "The army has two hundred thousand men and horses, they have already circled to the back of the strange races, there are still three hundred thousand men in front of them, they are forming an encirclement. Listen up, stop immediately, return to fight the strange races for another two hours, one stone city, the reinforcements will arrive immediately!"
Originally, these old monsters had already felt that they had been deceived, but the words of the emissary made them doubt their judgment again.
"You don't believe me?"
The emissary said, "Why would I lie to you? Why would the army lie to you? What good would it do for the army? Do you think the army alone can defeat two million strange races?"
Hearing this, the old monsters immediately dispelled the thoughts in their hearts. Although they still had doubts, the emissary was right. The White Tiger Corps didn't need to do this.
Even if they had fought the strange races for so long in the stone city, the strange races had only suffered six hundred thousand casualties. The army still had to face one million and four hundred thousand strange races, including the one hundred thousand Monster Race Guards and one hundred thousand Asura Blood Warriors that had never moved!
Without their help, the army only had eight hundred thousand soldiers in the stone city. Compared to the strange races, the difference was almost double!
Just as these old monsters dispelled the doubts in their hearts and began to hesitate whether or not to fight for another two hours.
Chong Changqing suddenly asked, "What is your name?"
"Han Han!"
The emissary said, "I belong to the White Tiger Corps, third army, ninth camp, full-time messenger."
"I don't doubt your identity."
Chong Changqing smiled, "But, do you think you can make us stop and fight for another two hours with just a few words?"
"What, you suspect that I'm faking a military order?" Han Han said coldly, "You've seen the Jade Slips. There's Lord White Tiger's mark inside. No one can imitate that!"
"I also don't suspect that you're faking a military order. I know that you're giving a real military order."
Chong Changqing said with a cold face, "But the army you mentioned definitely doesn't exist. When I left the city, I sent a few experts to investigate, but there was no trace of the army at all!"
At this point, the surrounding old monsters' faces all turned cold. They felt like they had fallen into the army's trap.
"So, there were never any reinforcements. The army never planned to come and save us. Lu Xiufu only wanted us to fight the strange races and exhaust us to death here!"
Chong Changqing said, "Although I don't know why he's doing this, and I don't know what benefits this will bring to the army, but … it's true that he's plotting against us. So, are you still not going to tell the truth?"
"I'm not faking a military order. The army has indeed sent two hundred thousand people to attack from behind, but …" Han Han insisted.
But before he could finish, he felt several bursts of pressure. His bones cracked, and he immediately knelt on the ground. His body was swollen. This was because his bones were broken and his flesh was damaged, but the extravasated blood could not be expelled.
Han Han trembled all over. He glanced at the old monsters present and stared at Chong Changqing, saying, "I'm not lying!"
"Yes, you're telling the truth. But it's also true that Lu Xiufu is plotting against us. It's just that you didn't tell me this!"
Chong Changqing raised a hand.
The pressure on Han Han's body immediately increased tenfold. All his bones were broken, but not a drop of blood flowed out. He collapsed to the ground, twitching.
Although he was in pain, he still smiled, saying, "What a pity, what a pity!"
"What is Lu Xiufu scheming? Why is he doing this? "Chong Changqing asked." If you don't tell me, I'll kill you! "
"Do you know why I, a messenger of the Third Corps' Ninth Camp, would come to pass on this order?"
Han Han looked at them, his body trembling. But for some reason, there was no longer any pain on his face. "I'll tell you why. It's because I asked for it. I originally thought that I would die the first time I came to Stone City to pass on the order. I didn't expect that I would still be alive. This time, I didn't let you hold on for another two hours. It's my dereliction of duty, but it's enough!"
The old monsters felt cold all over. In Han Han's eyes, they saw a determination that did not fear death!
They really did not understand. Where did this low cultivation messenger get such determination from? Why was he not afraid of death?
"You want to know why?"
Han Han said, "You'll know soon. Soon … soon … you'll only know …"
Suddenly, Han Han's body burned with flames. This was due to the burning of his spiritual energy. His life gradually withered as his spiritual energy burned.
The White Tiger Corps was too big, and he, Han Han, was very humble. But … before he died, Han Han felt that his life had not been lived in vain.
He did not expect that he would have such a heroic day. He actually did not fear death.
Chong Changqing trembled with anger. He slapped Han Han into ashes, but this did not relieve his anger. Instead, it made him even angrier.
The other party was not afraid of death. Killing him was just giving him a quick death. But this messenger made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Why? Why did Lu Xiufu do this?
They continued running until the foreign races caught up. They saw the reinforcements that Han Han had mentioned, the reinforcements that were ready to go.
