Two days later, Zhou Binlong's 350,000 troops entered the Frigid Smoke Wasteland as promised. However, they did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they set up camp 20 miles away. The army needed to rest after a long journey. Zhou Binlong had led the troops for a long time, so he understood this simple principle. Otherwise, if they launched an attack with a tired army, they would only be at a disadvantage.
…
Late at night, the camp was silent.
Just when the guards were dozing off, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the commander's tent at an extremely fast speed.
"Who's that?" The guards drew their swords.
"It's me!"
The newcomer took off his cloak, revealing a cold face.
"It's … It's Deputy Commander Hayu … Deputy Commander, why are you here so late?"
"I want to see Commander Zhou."
"The commander is here. I'll pass the message to you now."
"There's no need for that. I'll go in myself."
Without any explanation, he strode into the commander's tent. After all, he was a Superior Devil Deity. His status in the Celestial Empire was second only to Chen Yu and was completely above Zhou Binlong.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
The sudden arrival caused the candlelight to flicker wildly. Zhou Binlong, who was behind the commander's desk, looked up and quickly stood up. "Deputy Commander, you're here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you earlier. I didn't know that Deputy Commander would come so late at night …"
"I'm here on behalf of His Majesty."
Hayu sat down and said, "Commander Zhou, do you know your crime for leading the troops into battle without His Majesty's imperial edict?"
"But His Majesty ordered me to guard Scorching City and act according to the circumstances. Now, I'm acting according to the circumstances. Ji City has been under attack for a long time, and Lin Muyu's troops have suffered heavy losses. This is the best time for me to attack."
"Hmph, you don't know what you're talking about!" Hayu sneered. "The Southern Patrol Army has been completely annihilated. Song Liangcheng has also been killed. Commander Zhou has fallen into Lin Muyu's trap. Don't tell me you're still unaware?"
"Trap?"
"That's right." Hayu said, "His Majesty said that Lin Muyu is extremely smart. Since he has decided to fight with you, he must have the confidence to win. No matter how you defend, Lin Muyu must have a trump card to catch you off guard. His Majesty said that although Commander Zhou leads the troops well, you're not Lin Muyu's match, please be careful."
"Very well, as Your Majesty has said, the two armies are now facing each other and are less than 20 miles away from each other. It's too late for me to retreat even if I want to. What can I do in haste?"
"We can only pray for divine weapons to descend from the heavens." Hau Yu smiled with a taboo expression.
"Divine soldiers descending from the heavens … What does that mean?
"Tomorrow, a 15,000-strong Devil World army will descend on the battlefield. Just wait and watch the show. Pass down the order. Tomorrow, change half of our army's flags to the Devil World's war flags to avoid accidental injuries.
Zhou Binlong was stunned. "Our … our empire has already surrendered to the Demon World?"
"What else? It's nice to be under a big tree. You should understand this simple logic, right?"
"I understand. Deputy Commander, please stay and supervise the battle. We need your strength for tomorrow's battle!"
"Don't worry. I have no intention of leaving. I will personally witness Lin Muyu's destruction."
"Alright!"
…
The next day, the war drums rumbled.
In the early morning, the Terminus Earth Army had already launched an attack. Lin Muyu sent the Jia Demon Camp and the Blade Shield Camp to meet them. The two sides fought fiercely on the plains and could not determine the winner.
Until noon, the battle cries were heard. Wei Chou and Fengxi each led two strong troops to the center of the Terminus Earth Army!
"Dong, dong, dong …"
The war drums rumbled. Zhou Binlong, who was in the center of the army, did not look good. The winged cavalry came and went in front of the war chariot.
"Reporting to Commander, Wei Chou's cavalry broke through the blockade of our left army. The left army suffered heavy losses. Deputy Commander Liu requests reinforcements!"
"Commander, Fengxi's cavalry is too fierce. The right army can't hold on any longer. There are deserters!"
"Reporting to Commander, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. The Vanguard Battalion has suffered heavy losses. Please send the Far East Army to help!"
"Commander, the enemy's formation has changed. Our cavalry camp is surrounded!"
…
Zhou Binlong's face became more and more unsightly. Beside him, Ku Yu had a ruthless look on his face. He smiled and said, "Commander Zhou, have you seen Lin Muyu's power? If he is not 100% sure, he will not fight with you. "
"Deputy Commander, the reinforcements you mentioned … Why are they not here yet?" Zhou Binlong gritted his teeth.
Ku Yu smiled faintly. "That is the army of the Devil World. Do you think they are at your beck and call? Wait quietly. They will definitely come today. The only thing you have to do is to hold on for one day. Don't tell me that your 350,000 strong army can't even withstand one day of Lin Muyu's attack. I heard that Lin Muyu only has about 200,000 troops. They are far less powerful than yours. "
"I …"
Zhou Binlong was speechless. His eyes turned cold. He glanced at the generals beside him and said, "Commanders, the Far East Army should stop watching the show. Go to war and directly attack Lin Muyu's battle formation. Block their cavalry's charge. I will personally lead the Military Police Battalion to supervise the battle. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"
The Far East Army was a patchwork army. In reality, it was six armies put together. In the end, the six commanders did not look too good. However, they could not disobey the military order. They could only cup their hands and say, "I will go to war immediately!"
The 150,000 strong Far East Army was divided into six groups. Two of them went to block Wei Chou and Fengxi's cavalry. The other group attacked Lin Muyu's infantry formation. However, the Magic Crystal Cannons were very concentrated. Most of the soldiers became cannon fodder when they rushed forward. The morale of the army was already cold.
"Attack! Attack!"
The generals at the back shouted. They knew that once they cowered, they would be defeated. The Longdan Army Camp and Bai Ze's Mercenaries would arrive soon. At that time, they would truly be in a desperate situation.
…
The battle continued until dusk. The 150,000 strong Far East Army had lost more than half. The End of Earth Army had also suffered heavy losses. After more than 30% of the army died, the morale of the army was in chaos. There were many deserters. The Military Police Battalion at the back had already unsheathed their swords. They continued to kill the deserters. At that moment, Zhou Binlong's army was in a dilemma.
"Still not here? Still not here?" Zhou Binlong was about to go crazy.
In a day, his End of Earth Army had already been severely reduced. If the reinforcements that Chu Yu mentioned did not come, the End of Earth Army would most likely be removed from the Celestial Empire's army.
Chu Yu raised his head to look at the starry sky. "They're here. They're finally here."
Zhou Binlong's body trembled. "Really?"
He raised his head and saw streaks of red starlight landing on the plains behind him.
"Peng peng peng …"
The sound of falling did not stop. Each sound meant the death of a demonic general. Not long after, the sharp roar of the winged Mara reverberated in the sky above the plains. On the ground, Stinger Mara was moving at an extremely fast speed. Mara's fighting power was so strong that he tore apart the defeated soldiers of the End of Earth Army. At the same time, he rushed towards the Armor Demon Battalion that was chasing after him.
"Roar!"
The armor demon at the front roared. The iron spine in its hand struck towards Stinger Mara like lightning. However, Stinger Mara was too fast. His strength was also astonishing. His sharp claws swept across and tore the iron spine apart. At the same time, the armor demon's body also split into pieces. Green acidic blood splattered everywhere. It was a tragic sight. Almost in an instant, the attack of the Armor Demon Battalion was countered by the countless Mara army.
…
"Oh no … it's the army of the Devil World …" The long sword in Tang Xiaoxi's hand was glowing with fire.
Lin Muyu rode on the warhorse. Xuan Yuan Sword was stained with blood in her hand. Looking at Mara who was constantly rushing towards them, she could not help but tremble. She looked up at the sky and murmured, "God, why are you torturing me like this?"
Beside her, Situ Xue said, "Milord, shall we … shall we retreat?"
"Where can we retreat?"
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly, "If we retreat, Mara's army and Zhou Binlong will definitely start to chase us. At that time, we will be faced with a rout, a desperate rout. We will all be wiped out."
"But now … we will all be wiped out!"
Looking at the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp being easily killed, Lin Muyu felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She held the Xuan Yuan Sword tighter in her hand, raised the sharp sword, and shouted in a low voice, "Brothers, if dying on the battlefield is our destiny, then face it bravely! Follow me to kill the devil! The righteousness of heaven and earth, the vast and everlasting! Use our blood to create a chance for victory on the western front! "
"Fight!"
Situ Sen, Liu Buyi, and others pulled out their sharp swords.
The appearance of the Evil Luo Army meant that a crushing defeat was coming. When there was no way to escape, they could only face it. There was no other choice. Lin Muyu, Situ Sen, and the others were ordinary people, but they were also soldiers. They were weaker than gods, but they were stronger than these ferocious demons in front of them. The will to fight had long been engraved in their bones, and could never be erased!
At this time, this battle was no longer just about the chaos of the empire, but also a war to defend the righteousness!
…
"Die!"
The Xuan Yuan Sword swept out with the power of reincarnation, and suddenly the bodies of three poisonous stingers of Mara instantly evaporated into a mist of blood. Lin Muyu took the lead and rushed into the enemy group, while Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin flew in the air with sharp swords, using the divine power of the Mahayana Heavenly Path to kill the demons. The two of them were the real main force of the battle.
However, there were too many of Mara's army. After sweeping through, the newly formed Vanguard Camp of the Longdan Army Camp had lost more than half of its soldiers.
Clang!
A huge shock came from her arm, and Lin Muyu was sent flying with her horse. In the air, a demon general holding a war hammer looked at her with a vicious expression.
"Die!"
The war hammer came crashing down, and Lin Muyu forcibly stabilized the chaotic blood vessels. She dodged the attack with Falling Stars Steps, and the Xuan Yuan Sword stabbed directly at the enemy's neck at a tricky angle!
Puff!
Demon blood splattered, and the Xuan Yuan Sword stabbed about five centimeters into the demon general's neck. However, the demon general's vitality was strong, and with a roar, he swept the war hammer away.
With a dull bang, Lin Muyu's body was blasted away like a sandbag.
In the air, Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin were surrounded by countless winged Mara, and their figures could hardly be seen.
Lin Muyu's ears were filled with violent roars, and he could hardly hear anything else. However, with his eyes flowing with blood, he saw Situ Sen, Wei Chou, Si Kongyao, and the others being blasted off their horses by Mara one by one, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Countless Mara swept past, and the glory of the empire was almost gone in an instant.
In the air, a person slowly flew over. It was the Third-Tier Superior Demon God, Huan Yu, the deputy commander of the Celestial Empire.
"Lin Muyu, you've been smart your whole life, but in the end, aren't you going to die here? Your Longdan Army Camp is known as the strongest army in the world, but in the end, aren't you going to be annihilated here?! Hahahaha … Are you not satisfied? Come, let go of your hatred and enter the Demon Dao, how about that? "
…
"Kill the enemy … kill the enemy …"
Lin Muyu vomited a large mouthful of blood. Around him, Mara launched attacks one after another, but they were all blocked by him. Some of them couldn't block, and he could only rely on his body's defense to endure.
In the blink of an eye, his body was covered with wounds, but no matter how painful it was, it was not as painful as watching Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Si Kongyao, and the others being defeated, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
"Kill! I want to stop this battle by killing! "
The light in Lin Muyu's eyes intensified, and the blood in his body seemed to start boiling. The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand shone with a golden light, and with a sudden leap, it landed on the demon general's head. The long sword swept across, and blood splattered. The demon general's head had already been chopped off. With the strength of a mortal, it was impossible to do this, even with a divine weapon in hand.
But at this moment, Lin Muyu stood on the demon general's corpse, looking up at the sky. Golden flames lingered around him, like layers of protective walls opening up. He roared, venting the accumulated anger in his heart. In the distant sky, golden seals penetrated the clouds, and one by one, they were imprinted in his mind.
The Mahayana Heavenly Dao that belonged to him had finally awakened!
