The Fey Crown Prince knew that if he didn't turn back, the million-strong army would completely collapse. He couldn't afford such exhaustion. He even had a premonition that the person chasing after him wouldn't tire, and he was walking into a huge trap.
"He's driving us towards Zhu Que City." The Fey Crown Prince quickly understood Taiyi's intentions.
This was the direction they had come from. And when he understood Taiyi's intentions, he felt powerless.
Knowing the opponent's intentions, but being powerless to stop them, this was the most despairing thing.
The commanders also quickly understood. If the defeated army reached Zhu Que City, the fear would spread to the four million troops besieging Zhu Que City.
The Rosefinch Army wasn't just the thousand cavalry before them. It was a powerful army that could truly annihilate them. And what the Rosefinch Army lacked the most at this moment was morale!
What should they do?
The Fey Crown Prince asked himself. The nine commanders were also thinking of a solution. Just the defeat of the million-strong army might not be enough to shake his position as Crown Prince. But if they led the army over and caused the entire battle to collapse, even if the Fey Emperor didn't kill him, he would have to commit suicide.
After a long silence, the Wolf Tribe commander suddenly said, "Your Highness, there's another way. Stop the cavalry behind us!"
"What is it?" the Fey Crown Prince asked. The commanders looked at him.
"Release all the captives locked in the cages. Let them form a defensive line and disrupt the cavalry's plans!" the Wolf Tribe commander said.
But the commanders hesitated. These captives were all captured in the Heavenly South. According to the standards of the Fey race, these people were the best slaves.
The Fey Crown Prince naturally didn't care about the lives of these captives. But the problem was that these captives could be sold for an extremely high price. There were many noble families in the Fey race that wanted these human captives.
Moreover, most of them had already been reserved. Releasing these captives to stop the human cavalry was indeed a good idea, but it would offend the noble families.
Those guys didn't care if you were in danger or not. From their point of view, they had already paid for it and reserved it. No matter what, you had to get it back for them. If you couldn't get it back, the consequences would be very serious!
The Fey Crown Prince still needed the support of these noble families, so he began to hesitate.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, let's protect the army first, then think about other things!" The generals all tried to persuade him.
"Release him!" The Fey Crown Prince said.
The cages made of Dharma artifacts were like Cosmos Rings. Each cage could hold tens of thousands of captives. In this war in the Southern Heaven, the various tribes had captured nearly a million humans.
These were all carefully selected. Those inferior humans in the eyes of the Demon Race had long been massacred.
In the eyes of the Monster Race Crown Prince, the value of these captives was no less than that of the Monster Race warriors under his command. These days, human captives were extremely valuable.
After a slight adjustment of the formation, all the captives were released. They stood in front of Taiyi's cavalry in fear, not knowing what had happened.
The Chief Commander of the Wolf Clan was left behind. He led the fastest wolf riders and stood behind these human captives. He roared, "If you dare to take one more step forward, I will kill ten thousand captives. If you take two more steps forward, I will kill twenty thousand captives …"
It was only now that the captives realized that the cavalry full of murderous aura was actually human. Their fearful faces revealed some excitement.
However, what happened next left them dumbfounded. Even the Chief Commander of the Wolf Clan was stunned. The cavalry in front of them did not hesitate. Instead, they charged straight at them without changing direction. It was as if the ones in front of them were not humans!
The moment Ye Tianze became depressed, Taiyi truly woke up from a dream. He had long seen through the karma of his previous life.
"Some sins should not be borne in this life!" Taiyi thought. "The past life and the present life are different reincarnations."
Looking at the captives in front of him, he knew what he had to do.
"Stop, stop now!!!" A shout came from the sea of consciousness. It was Ye Tianze, who had lost control of his body.
Although he was depressed, it did not mean that he did not know what had happened. Taiyi was definitely not competing with the Chief Commander of the Wolf Clan in courage.
He was really ignoring the captives in front of him!
Taiyi was indifferent. He knew better than anyone what he had to do, so he remained silent. He did not even answer Ye Tianze.
Seeing the human cavalry charging at him, the Chief Commander of the Wolf Clan felt his hair stand on end. The young man's eyes were more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Madman, this is a madman!" The Shifter Crown Prince in the distance said in surprise.
He had seen too many people who killed decisively, but he had never seen someone like Ye Tianze, who stood in front of his own people and did not even blink.
The human captives went from hope to despair. They were instantly drowned by the murderous aura. Without needing Taiyi to swing his blade, their fragile bodies were easily crushed.
The wolf riders and the Chief Commander of the Wolf Clan, who did not have time to react, were also killed. When they turned to flee, they were less than ten feet away from Ye Tianze.
Taiyi suddenly leaped and raised his blade. The murderous aura gathered to form a blade Qi that slashed down, directly splitting the Chief Commander of the Wolf Clan in half.
Thousands of wolf riders were directly chopped into pieces by this blade. As the murderous aura was released, Taiyi led the cavalry and immediately charged forward.
In his consciousness, Ye Tianze was stunned by this scene. This was not the previous life he knew. This was not him. This was definitely not him!
"We can only go forward. We cannot retreat!" Taiyi said. "You and I can't save these ten thousand people. Even if we can, they will still be slaughtered by the Shifter Clan in the end!"
Ye Tianze was silent. Of course, he understood what Taiyi was saying. If they were blocked by these ten thousand people, the Shifter Clan's army would be far away and come back again. He would be a burden with these ten thousand captives. He could not save them!
"Ten thousand people versus the entire Tiannan, including the Rosefinch Army and Yuxu Sect … There is a choice to be made. This decision does not need to be made by you," said Taiyi.
Ye Tianze was silent. He knew that Taiyi was doing the right thing, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
That blade had chilled the Shifter Crown Prince's heart. He finally understood why he had felt such a sense of danger!
This King Realm youth had the strength to kill him. That blade was too stunning. It seemed to be a casual slash, but it contained an aura that could destroy all life.
He did not understand why the youth had such a change. He also did not understand why the youth did not use it in the beginning.
At this moment, he could only flee …
After an unknown period of time, the Shifter Clan's routed army suddenly slowed down. The Shifter Crown Prince's numb heart suddenly trembled.
He looked into the distance. At the end of the mountain, a majestic city appeared. This city was built against the mountain and stretched endlessly.
