Whether it was before or after joining the Imperial Guards, this Half Tiger Banner's men had never fought a battle with such a great disparity between the enemy and themselves. They fought an enemy twenty times their size with fifty thousand men! Even if there were great battles in the past, no matter how intense the battles were, the Imperial Guards would always be able to crush the enemy. They had never been able to fight for survival in the face of death like this.
They had never fought such a fierce battle before. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the ground was dyed red with blood. The ground that had been turned over was still dyed red with blood!
The bloody battle hadn't even lasted an hour! Thus, it became like this.
Those who survived felt as if their bodies and minds had undergone a baptism.
Standing in front of the corpses of her trusted subordinates with tears streaming down her face, Mu Yu Lian finally understood what it meant by a general's success on the bones of ten thousand people. These corpses would make her name known throughout the world, these corpses would pave a golden path for her, and these people who died in battle would soon be forgotten by the people.
All sorts of feelings welled up in her heart, and Mu Yu Lian's tears flowed uncontrollably. Facing everything in front of her, she was filled with even more regret. She regretted that she had once been shameless and shameless!
Miao Yi, who was relatively clean, stood alone on top of a boulder in the distance.
This battle was quite tragic for this group of people, but for him personally, he had experienced even more tragic battles where there was a great disparity between him and the enemy. In the Purgatory, he had single-handedly faced an army of a million, and he had killed thousands of people by himself.
However, the two couldn't be compared …
In the Imperial Garden, in Marquis Xuanyuan's courtyard, Xuanyuan Zhuo, who was dressed in court robes, strode out of the main gate, preparing to attend court.
Just as he walked out the door, a voice suddenly called out from behind, "Marquis!"
Xuanyuan Zhuo stopped and turned around. Seeing Yu Lie jogging over with an ugly expression, he frowned and said, "What's wrong? Is there any news? "
Yu Lie had a complicated look in his eyes. He nodded slowly and said with difficulty, "We failed at the Yuding region."
Xuanyuan Zhuo furrowed his brows and didn't say anything more. He turned around and was about to fly away when Yu Lie suddenly added, "A million elites from the Yuding region surrounded the 50,000 strong army and lost! A crushing defeat! A million elites were defeated by an army of fifty thousand. The total number of casualties reached 550,000, and only 400,000 managed to escape! "
"What?" Xuanyuan Zhuo cried out involuntarily as he abruptly turned around to look at him. His eyes widened as he said, "What did you say? A million elites were defeated by fifty thousand people? Five hundred and fifty thousand? "
Yu Lie nodded with difficulty. "There shouldn't be any mistake. I've checked with many people. The defeated army hasn't been completely gathered yet."
Xuanyuan Zhuo's face was filled with killing intent as he said, "Even if there is a Lotus Transformation Expert amongst those fifty thousand people, even if a Lotus Transformation Expert wants to slaughter a million pigs, it won't be that easy. Pigs will also run around, right? How could 550,000 people die in battle? How was this war fought? Could it be that there are many experts with boundless magic power among those fifty thousand people? "
Yu Lie said sadly, "According to reports! They don't have any experts at the Infinite Transcendence Energy realm, nor do they have any Lotus Realm experts. They only have about a hundred Rainbow Lotus cultivators, while the rest are all Golden Lotus cultivators. The elites gathered in Youding Domain won't be any weaker than them. "
"Bullshit!" Xuanyuan Zhuo was enraged and cursed, "Then how did you fight this battle? Are we just going to stand there and wait to be trampled upon? "
"That Niu Youde is indeed a rare brave general …" Yu Lie immediately reported the details of the battle that he had gathered.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhuo's expression turned savage as he gritted his teeth, "Yan Chun! If you don't die, I will hack you to pieces! "
Yu Lie, "Lord Marquis, what do we do now?"
Xuanyuan Zhuo fell silent. After standing there for a long time, his tense expression gradually relaxed. Suddenly, he asked, "How are the casualties on Niu Youde's side?"
Yu Lie, "I'm not too sure. There are many people over there, probably only about ten thousand left at most. I'm afraid they've lost eighty percent of their men!"
"Haha! With only ten thousand exhausted soldiers left, they actually forced an army of hundreds of thousands to flee. What a joke! What a joke! "Xuanyuan Zhuo laughed a few times, then suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed," What a good Niu Youde! It's easy to raise an army of a thousand, but it's hard to find a good general! If I can get my hands on this brave general, it's enough to fight against a million soldiers! "
Yu Lie, "Over at Youding Domain. A portion of the deserters have already met up with the one million reinforcements that are rushing over. I will immediately inform the other side to surround them and completely annihilate the remaining ten thousand soldiers. "
"There's no need!" Xuanyuan Zhuo shook his head tiredly.
Yu Lie was shocked, "It's already like this. Are we just going to let them go?"
Xuanyuan Zhuo said dispiritedly, "Do you think there's a need for that? Do you think Niu Youde won't report the situation and ask for reinforcements? Once is enough. It's fine if they succeed once, but how can they do it again and again? Do you think the higher-ups won't be able to guess that I'm the one behind this revenge of a million people? It's just that without evidence, they can't do anything to me. His Majesty will also close one eye and won't really investigate everything. You can't go overboard, otherwise, you'll be at a disadvantage. After all, I'm a member of the Imperial Guards. What do you want His Majesty to think? What do you want the Imperial Guards to think of me? How will the Imperial Guards endure it? I've already given them instructions, it was them who didn't grasp the opportunity! Let's stop here. His Majesty, Lord Commander, the Imperial Guards, and all the officials in the court will understand that I've been merciful! The court isn't like when I was in the Imperial Guards. Going overboard is as bad as falling short. Stopping before going overboard will allow His Majesty to understand my painstaking efforts and allow His Majesty to look up to me. Do you understand? "
Yu Lie looked at him in a daze. Not to mention things that he didn't understand, he finally understood why Lord Commander strongly recommended Lord Commander to take the position of Marquis. It's because not every commander of the Imperial Guards is suitable for this position … …
Outside the Heavenly Palace, the jade palaces, the garden filled with spring. Hundreds of officials arrived one after another. Kou, Ying, Hao, and Guang, the Four Heavenly Kings appeared one after another. Everyone greeted them.
The Four Heavenly Kings met and exchanged greetings. They stood at the head of the steps outside the palace and exchanged a few words.
Not long after, Xiahou Tuo, who was leaning on a cane, arrived late. Everyone greeted them again and came to the front. The Four Heavenly Kings also cupped their hands and bowed together, "Tian Weng."
Xiahou Tuo laughed and joined in the conversation. Seeing that they couldn't get to the main topic, Xiahou Tuo smiled and said, "Guang Heavenly King, I heard that something happened in the Youding region?"
The Duke of Guang said indifferently, "It seems that something happened. It hasn't been investigated yet. I'm sending people to investigate. Tian Weng is well-informed. Do you have any advice?"
Xiahou Tuo glanced at the other three who seemed to know nothing and laughed, "There's no evidence. I only heard about it. I can't give any advice."
The others saw that these people were talking in riddles. They either pretended to be confused or were really confused.
Not long after, the Duke of Guang suddenly took out a trembling star bell and put it in his sleeve. Not long after, his expression was obviously stunned. He slowly turned his head and locked his gaze on Marquis Xuanyuan at the back of the crowd. He only stared at him for a moment and then acted as if nothing had happened.
The eyes of the other three Heavenly Kings moved. They suddenly saw Xiahou Tuo take out a star bell and put it in his sleeve. Very quickly, they saw Xiahou Tuo's expression freeze and he slowly turned his head to look at Marquis Xuanyuan at the back of the crowd.
The three Heavenly Kings immediately turned their heads to look at Marquis Xuanyuan. They saw Marquis Xuanyuan's expression was calm and he was chatting with his colleagues. It seemed like he didn't know anything.
Did he really not know? Some appearances could not be hidden from the three of them. Something that could cause Xiahou Ta and Guang Ling Gong to lose their composure in front of everyone was definitely not a small matter. They were about to go to the imperial court. If they did not even know what was going on, and if something were to happen in the imperial court, they would be completely clueless about it. Wouldn't they be caught unprepared?
The three Heavenly Kings almost immediately took out their star bells and put them in their wide sleeves. They contacted their people and ordered them to investigate quickly!
"Stealing the credit from the Yuding Domain? Silencing people? You can't just sit back and wait for death? "
Inside the Starry Temple, Master Qing stood in front of Defeating Armies with his hands clasped behind his back. He asked, "Do you believe it?" "Do you?" Defeating Armies asked.
Shangguan Qing and the others were silent. If they didn't know that Yun Zhiqiu was involved, they might really believe it.
Defeating Armies swallowed his saliva. He had always been very confident in front of Lord Qing. He was someone who dared to point at Lord Qing's nose and scold him. This was the first time he was so unconfident. He didn't know what to say when Lord Qing questioned him. To be honest, he didn't believe it either. But … he sighed and said, "That's how my subordinates reported it. I can't find out the cause and effect of the matter in a short time, so I have to report it truthfully."
Lord Qing was angry. He pointed at Defeating Armies's nose and scolded, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be so protective! My Imperial Guards are out of control. What else do you want? "
Defeating Armies cupped his hands and retorted, "I'm not being protective. It's just that I can't make a conclusion before the truth is found out. If it's really Niu Youde's doing, the Left Military Governor will not let him off easily!"
Lord Qing sneered, "You still dare to be so stubborn! It's obvious that Niu Youde set a trap for the people of Yuding Region. Do you think I am a fool?! That monkey is getting more and more daring. He doesn't put me in his eyes anymore … "He suddenly turned back and yelled at Gao Guan," Gao Guan, immediately order the Supervisory Right Division General to capture Niu Youde and punish him severely to show the world! "
Gao Guan cupped his hands and accepted the order. He took out the Star Bell and was about to execute the order. Unexpectedly, Defeating Armies yelled angrily, "Treacherous official! How dare you! "
Gao Guan, who was scolded as a treacherous official, seemed to be stunned. He held the Star Bell and looked at Lord Qing.
Lord Qing glared at Defeating Armies with his round eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old man! What did you say? In your eyes, are those who carry out my orders all treacherous officials? Am I a fatuous ruler in your eyes? "
He could restrain his anger in front of others, but he couldn't when he met Defeating Armies. Because everyone else treated him as the ruler of the world, only Defeating Armies scolded him whenever he wanted. Defeating Armies didn't give him any face at all. For a person like him who was high up in the world, that kind of anger was unbearable!
Defeating Armies replied angrily, "The matter is not clear yet. The right and wrong are not clear yet. Yet, he rashly punished an official of the Heavenly Court. Where is the heavenly law? If Gao Guan isn't a treacherous official, then what is he?"
Lord Qing was trembling with anger. This was no different from scolding him as a fatuous ruler because he was the one who ordered Gao Guan to do so. He suddenly roared, "Someone! Drag this old man out and behead him! "
