The tide of the Blood Demon Army retreated at dawn. Perhaps they had planned to do so in the first place, because it was supposed to be a probing attack.
While Mituryū Kanao was familiarizing himself with the Blood Demon Army, the Commander of the enemy was testing Mituryū Kanao with the lives of the Blood Demon Army, too. At this moment, neither of them played their real trump cards.
The Blood Demons were still densely gathered on the distant mountains. When the first ray of sunlight shone on King City, all the members of the Imperial Dragon Class sucked in a breath of cold air.
In the distance, the overwhelming Blood Demon Army had dyed the mountains red. Not far away, countless corpses of the Blood Demon Army covered the road. Even Mituryū Kanao had no idea how many Blood Demons he had slain, and it seemed that there was no end to the number of Blood Demons.
If the battle went on like this, Mituryū Kanao would be exhausted to death.
The river was about to run dry, but new blood was filling the gap. When the ground began to dry up, the entire capital had turned purplish black, filthy, and smelly.
However, Mituryū Kanao had long been used to the smell. Their noses were no longer sensitive to the smell of blood.
Lü Shu smiled. "Finally, it looks like a tomb."
Yun Yi and Hu Zhi looked at Lü Shu. It was not a coincidence that the two of them had driven the iron puppets to attack from the rear in the early morning. They had discovered the Commander of the Blood Demon Army's advance troop and tried to assassinate him. Eventually, they had succeeded.
That was why they had shown up from the rear. The Blood Demon Army had retreated precisely because their Commander had been killed.
"Their follow-up troops will arrive soon," Hu Zhi said. "It is meaningless to kill such a Commander."
Lü Shu nodded. "But it is good enough that we have a chance to rest."
At this moment, all the soldiers of Mituryū Kanao were sleeping on the city wall with their tridents in their arms after breakfast. Their living quarters had been prepared in the city, but everybody was well aware that once the Blood Demon Army launched an attack, it would only take five minutes for the enemy's air force to arrive in the sky above the city.
It would be a waste of time if they went back to their room to sleep.
Lü Shu did not reminisce with Yun Yi and Hu Zhi. There was no time for that now. He looked at Li Liang. "How are the other parties?"
"Jianlu has stopped Eastern State's army. It is also a test, but Jianlu's side has it easier." Li Liang said, "The army of Nanzhou led by Wen Zaifou has already defeated the army of Western State. The only thing that's puzzling is that Sun Xiuwen doesn't seem to have appeared in the battle. Therefore, with Wen Zaifou having three great grandmasters on his side, the army of Western State can't hold on at all."
"Sun Xiuwen is missing?" Lü Shu asked curiously.
"Yes. Wen Zaifou and the others were originally on guard against Sun Xiuwen, but they don't know where he went." Li Liang said, "The spies that Yi Qian had hidden in the army of Western State have retreated in advance. Now, only a few of them are left in the supply wagons. The only thing we know is that Sun Xiuwen has indeed not appeared. Right now, Wen Zaifou has chased the army of Western State into the mountains nearby, trying to kill them all."
Yesterday, Lü Shu had been focused on the Blood Demon Army and had no time to care about what had happened on Wen Zaifou's side. He did not expect that Wen Zaifou would defeat the army of Western State overnight.
After all, Western State did not have any elite soldiers left. Moreover, the great grandmasters had mysteriously disappeared.
Where had Sun Xiuwen gone? Could it be that Lu Shen's evil intentions did not pin his hopes on the army of Western State, so he had withdrawn Sun Xiuwen, the chess piece, in advance? That was very likely.
"Mituryū Kanao sacrificed 12 of his comrades." Li Liang sighed and said, "They killed more than 10 Blood Demons before they died. They died a worthy death."
Lv Shu's face was expressionless, even if it was him, he could not save every single one of the Imperial Dragon Squad, people would die in the war, he understood it from the very beginning. Relatively speaking, only 12 died in one night. It was enough to show how powerful Mituryū Kanao was.
"There is no worthy death." Lü Shu shook his head. "Only by enjoying a lifetime of glory, splendor, wealth, and finally dying of old age can one die a worthy death. Now I finally understand why Zhang Weiyu did not want to be the commander-in-chief."
In the past, Mituryū Kanao had basically never had anyone die, so everyone thought that Mituryū Kanao would not die. However, things in this world were not that simple.
Even the Divine King would fall.
Chen Zu An, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly opened his eyes. "Glory, splendor, wealth, and wealth? What glory, splendor, wealth, and wealth? "
Lü Shu said grumpily, "Go to sleep."
"Oh …"
Mituryū Kanao, who was lying on the city wall, all laughed. "Chen Zu An, you can't hold back when you hear glory, splendor, and wealth, can't you?"
"Bah." Chen Zuan was displeased. "Just ask my Brother Tree and you'll know how extravagant my life was in the past … I'm living for my faith now. I'm a person who has broken away from vulgar interests, alright?"
In fact, no one slept to death. As soon as they closed their eyes, they saw ferocious Blood Demons, holding cold tridents in their hands. Their ears were full of shouting and the laughter of their companions who risked their lives for theirs.
Lü Shu looked at Lü Xiaoyu. "Clean up the battlefield. If we don't clean up the Blood Demon's corpses, I'm afraid we won't have to attack the city anymore. At that time, we can run to the city wall by stepping on the skeleton bridge."
"Well, leave it to me," Lü Xiaoyu said.
Hardly had he finished speaking when the ground outside the inner city began to turn into sand, swallowing all the corpses of the Blood Demons on the ground.
There was no telling how many Blood Demons had been buried under the inner city. The former capital had become a truly brutal city. Lü Shu was wondering if the king of Lü Zhou would dare to establish this place as the capital again.
"But don't worry. They can walk to the top of the city wall." Lü Xiaoyu looked at Lü Shu. "If it's absolutely necessary, I can directly raise the ground of the inner city."
"Go and take a rest. A fierce battle is about to break out again." Lü Shu had already seen that the Blood Demon Legion on the mountain far away was in order again. Their follow-up troops and their new leader must have arrived on the battlefield.
"We must be careful tonight." Lü Shu said, "I suspect that the Blood Demon Grandmasters of the Northern Province have already arrived on the battlefield. They are ready to go."
"So soon?" Li Liang asked. In his opinion, besieging the capital was probably the best choice for the Blood Demon Legion. There were too many Blood Demons, and the enemy did not care about sacrificing them at all. Therefore, there was no need for them to start a final battle so soon.
"If Qingkong was not in a hurry, he wouldn't have to wait until now to expose himself. In another ten or twenty years, the whole world would be his." Lü Shu smiled. "He certainly has his reasons for being in a hurry."
Right now, Lü Shu glanced at the star map. Even though he had exchanged a lot of Marrow Cleansing Fruits, his negative emotions were almost enough to light up the sixth nebula.
Tonight.
By then, even if they did not come to Lü Shu, Lü Shu would go out and have a chat with them!
