Morale was high!
Heng Wudao was very happy as well!
Regardless of whether they had the advantage in numbers, they had defeated the Imperial Guard Army. They had defeated the Imperial Guard Army consisting of fifty million soldiers. They had defeated the Imperial Guard Army that had killed Ying Jiuguang. They had defeated the Imperial Guard Army that had been known to be invincible since the establishment of the Heavenly Court. How could their morale not be high?!
On the main battlefield, both armies had already given up on using the Transcendence Bow. Instead, they were locked in a melee battle!
"Milord, we've completely lost contact with Bi Zhuo!" A deputy general reported with a trembling voice.
Qu Changtian's heart skipped a beat as he watched the battle unfold. There was no need to explain what losing contact with Bi Zhuo meant.
Outside the battlefield, Miao Yi and the others were watching the battle from within the protection of a group of personal guards.
Beside him, Yang Zhaoqing pressed down on the star bell and reported, "Your Highness, Commander Heng has reported victory. The fifty million Imperial Guard Army has been completely annihilated. They are on their way as reinforcements!"
Cheng Taize clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Annihilated fifty million Imperial Guard Army!"
Miao Yi nodded and asked, "How are our losses?"
Yang Zhaoqing replied, "Our side has lost close to sixty million troops!"
Miao Yi frowned. Even Cheng Taize was frowning. Five hundred million against fifty million, and yet the losses were higher than the enemy's. The Imperial Guard Army's combat strength was indeed formidable. On the other hand, Hua Yitian had three hundred million Imperial Guard Army on his side. This worried him a little.
Seeing this, Yang Zhaoqing added, "Commander Heng's strategy is to end the battle quickly. He's going all out, so his losses are greater."
Miao Yi nodded, then turned to look at Cheng Taize and said, "King Cheng, I have another fifty million Transcendence Piercing Bows with me. Once this army is annihilated, I will have five hundred million Transcendence Piercing Bows in my hands. If you can annihilate Hua Yitian's army of three hundred million, I won't take a single one of these Transcendence Bows. You can do whatever you want with them. What do you say? "
Yang Qing smiled. 'Three hundred million Transcendence Bows! He's forcing Cheng Taize to put his life on the line!'
He had already taken off his mask and revealed his true appearance. At this point, they had already fallen out with the Heavenly Court. There was no need to hide anymore.
Cheng Taize's eyes lit up when he heard this. That was 300 million Mage Breaking Bows! If he could obtain this amount of equipment, then what was the point of losing the eastern army? With this amount of equipment in his hands, it would be difficult to stop him from soaring!
However, when she saw Miao Yi's enigmatic smile, her heart trembled violently. Her entire family was now a hostage in the other party's hands. The other party had already said that they wanted the troops in your hands. It was obvious that they wanted you to become his subjects. If you wanted the three hundred million Transcendence Bow, it was no different from trying to gain control of your own army. How could the other party allow you to return alive? In other words, there was a way to live if you became a subject, but you would definitely die if you raised an army!
If he was in Niu Youde's position, he might as well think about it. The world was about to usher in a great change of interests. In the end, it would definitely be whoever was stronger who would have the right to speak about the distribution of interests! After provoking such a huge battle, their subordinates would definitely suffer heavy losses. If it were him, he would also urgently need Niu Youde's troops to replenish his forces. How could he allow others to take away his troops? Could it be that they had paid such a huge price just to benefit others?
Regardless of whether this would usher in a great change in the world, Niu Youde couldn't just watch as his troops were greatly reduced in the upcoming battle, unless he was courting death. Did he really think the other clans were pushovers?
When he thought about this, it wasn't hard for him to understand Niu Youde's intentions when he said those words to him. He was testing him!
Cheng Taize's back almost broke out in cold sweat. He knew that he had just taken a trip to the gates of hell. If he agreed, the other party would definitely try to get rid of him later on, and then think of a way to absorb his troops. In the current situation, he couldn't run even if he wanted to.
"Your Highness, with the current situation, if we were to separate, we would both suffer losses. If we were to work together, we would both benefit. Right now, you and I are of the same family. Talking about the distribution of the Transcendence Bow is too formal. With the way things have progressed, it is clear that Your Highness is a man of great ability and vision. I admit that I am inferior to you, and am sincerely convinced. Today, in front of everyone … "Cheng Taize pursed his lips. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply, sincerely saying," Lord Qing's bestowal of the title of Heavenly King Cheng has already passed. There is only Cheng Taize here, and no Heavenly King Cheng. Cheng Taize is willing to follow Your Highness' lead. As long as Your Highness commands, I am willing to die for you! "
When they heard these words, the generals accompanying Cheng Taize were initially taken aback. They understood His Highness's character, and after pondering for a moment, one of them seemed to understand something, and his expression darkened.
Someone else was shocked and exclaimed, "Your Highness! You … "
Cheng Taize abruptly turned around and glared at him, saying, "Shut up! Lord Ox is a man of great ability and vision. I am willing to follow him. If any of you are dissatisfied, feel free to leave. I won't stop you. "
Another person tugged on the man's sleeve and transmitted his voice over, "Don't be foolish if you want to live. His Highness is only willing to compromise for everyone's sake."
The man didn't understand, but he still furrowed his brows and shut his mouth.
Miao Yi, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He shot a glance at the man who was dissatisfied. From this, he could tell that Cheng Taize still had a group of loyal followers under his command. With a quick thought, he grabbed Cheng Taize's wrist and said happily, "You're wrong! Since King Cheng says that we're all family, then is there a need to differentiate who serves whom? King Cheng is older than me. If you don't mind, I am willing to respect you as my elder brother. We can become sworn brothers of different surnames, and we can enjoy blessings and endure misfortunes together. What do you say? "His eyes were brimming with anticipation.
Cheng Taize hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I wouldn't dare. I am indeed willing to follow Your Highness from the bottom of my heart!"
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi pulled back his hand and pulled out a dagger. Without saying another word, he immediately cut the back of his hand, causing blood to drip down as he clenched his fist and said, "I am indeed speaking from the bottom of my heart as well. I am willing to become sworn brothers with my blood. This is a gesture of sincerity. I hope Elder Brother won't refuse!"
Cheng Taize was cursing in his heart. 'What's the point of becoming sworn brothers? Qing Bai and the others were sworn brothers all those years ago. Who cared about this when they had a falling out? What excuse can't they find?'
He knew very well that Miao Yi was in urgent need of his troops and wanted to subdue them as soon as possible. He didn't want to cause any trouble at a time like this, and was hoping to win their hearts.
However, Miao Yi had already used a knife on him. Cheng Taize had no choice but to accept the dagger and cut the back of his hand, clenching his fist and extending it as well.
Their fists clashed, and the bloody cuts on the back of their fists collided. They looked at each other and laughed heartily. Miao Yi called out 'Elder Brother' with great sincerity.
"Brother!" Cheng Taize also called out sincerely. Only he himself knew the bitterness in his heart.
The general who had objected earlier was stunned. He realized that this Niu Youde wasn't a bad person. He didn't take advantage of his position to bully others, and even rejected His Highness' offer to serve him. Now that they had become sworn brothers … the indignation in his heart dissipated as well.
Yang Zhaoqing smiled from the side.
Yang Qing inwardly nodded, his heart filled with emotions. Thinking back to the Miao Yi of the past, and then looking at the Miao Yi of today, he realized that a person would do things according to their position.
He could also understand Miao Yi's current feelings. Under the current circumstances, Miao Yi really couldn't afford to lose. He had stubbornly gone his own way and started such a huge battle. If he lost, he would have to shoulder all the responsibility alone. Not only would he not be able to explain himself to his subordinates, but the lives of his entire family would also be at stake. It was imperative that he quickly pull Cheng Taize's troops together.
Miao Yi turned to Yang Zhaoqing and shouted, "Immediately send a message to the entire army. King Cheng is now my sworn brother. From now on, no one is to treat him lightly!"
Yang Zhaoqing was well aware that his subordinates were no fools. Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence would know that His Highness would definitely suffer a heavy blow in the battle against the Imperial Guards. If he were to announce this good news to the entire army at this time, he would let them know that not only did His Highness not suffer any losses, but that his strength had even increased. This would definitely boost everyone's confidence and morale!
Of course, Yan Xiao, who was in charge of commanding Cheng Taize's troops, would definitely be notified as well. He would have Yan Xiao inform Cheng Taize's troops that Cheng Taize and His Highness were now sworn brothers.
After serving by Miao Yi's side for so many years, he naturally understood what Miao Yi meant with just a glance.
"Understood!" He immediately took out the Star Bell and sent the message.
Then, Miao Yi turned to Cheng Taize and sincerely said, "Big Brother, we must eliminate Hua Yitian's forces as soon as possible. If we drag this out until Lord Qing's reinforcements arrive, it will be disadvantageous to both you and me. Even if my forces rush over now, it won't do us any good!"
They were already brothers. If he didn't do his best, then it would be unforgivable. Miao Yi was basically forcing him to take Hua Yitian down at all costs! Cheng Taize sighed inwardly, but maintained a solemn expression on his face. "Of course. I will urge them now!" He then took out the Star Bell and urged Miao Yi.
Just then, Heng Wudao arrived with his army to report.
There wasn't much to say. Miao Yi immediately ordered him to hand over the army to Bluemoon.
After Bluemoon took over the army, she ordered a hundred million troops to form ten Transcendence Piercing Bow points outside of the battle formation. Every ten million troops formed a group, and they were spread out around the battle formation. As soon as any enemy troops escaped from the battlefield or exposed themselves outside the formation, they would immediately shoot them down. With a large number of Transcendence Piercing Bows in hand, as well as a surplus of troops, Bluemoon no longer had to lock down the enemy encirclement. Instead, she gathered several groups of troops and charged straight into the enemy's formation, teaming up from both inside and outside to kill them.
With an absolute advantage in numbers, they charged into the battle formation to cut off the encirclement and annihilate the enemy.
"Milord, we are outnumbered. We can't hold on much longer. Let's break out of the encirclement!" At the core of the battle formation, a deputy general said to Qu Changtian sorrowfully.
Qu Changtian squeezed his eyes shut. He knew full well the consequences of breaking out of the encirclement. His army was already being held back by the enemy. As soon as they broke out of the encirclement, a large number of his brothers would definitely be left behind to delay the enemy. That would be equivalent to sending them to their deaths. However, at this point, none of them would be able to survive if this continued.
"Gather some troops and pretend to break out of the encirclement from the right. The rest will follow me to break out of the encirclement from the left!" Qu Changtian said with great difficulty.
Soon, the tens of millions of troops that had been gathered nearby charged out of the encirclement with loud cries of slaughter.
Meanwhile, Qu Changtian had also quietly gathered tens of millions of troops around him, waiting for an opportunity to strike. They were prepared to wait until that group had attracted a large number of enemy troops and reduced the pressure on the other side to break out of the encirclement.
Bluemoon remained unmoved by the situation inside the battle formation. With a single order, the thirty million Transcendence Piercing Bows in the enemy's direction quickly gathered together and eyed the enemy like a tiger watching its prey. When the enemy army reached the edge of the formation, Bluemoon suddenly ordered the two sides of the battle to retreat and open up a gap.
