"Ding, ding, ding …"
Streaks of sparks splashed around the Dragon Spirit Sword. Facing the encirclement of more than a dozen powerful demons, Lin Muyu only had the strength to parry. Even the walls of the calabash were riddled with holes. When she turned around, she saw Wei Chou and Qin Yan leading 5,000 heavy cavalries charging over. Wei Chou, who was at the forefront, had already drawn his longbow and shouted, "Commander, be careful!"
Lin Muyu saw it clearly. The Falling Star Steps under her feet surged with light, and she left at lightning speed. Taxue let out a long neigh and rushed over. Lin Muyu flipped onto the horse and charged together with Wei Chou, Qin Yan, and the rest. She ordered loudly, "That red-armored demon must be alive. Kill the rest!"
"Swish, swish, swish …"
The heavy cavalries of the Longdan Army Camp were adept at archery and horses. Before they got close, they had already shot a round of arrows. However, their opponents were no longer Yihe Country, but a group of top experts of the demon race. Many of these hundreds of people had already circulated their black demon qi. The black qi formed cyclones and blocked most of the arrows. However, Wei Chou's arm strength was too tyrannical. The white diamond arrow directly penetrated the head of a demon warrior, bringing out scorching brain matter.
The Third Prince lost his right arm, but the expression on his face became increasingly sinister. Holding the longsword in his left hand, he shouted in a low voice, "Warriors of the Celestial Race, you are the pride of the Celestial Race. We will never die in the hands of this group of lowly humans. Charge with me and kill them all!"
"We swear to follow Your Highness the Third Prince to the death!"
A group of high-level demons let out a soaring roar. Many of their eyes had already turned blood red. They were exactly the same as the person that Lin Muyu encountered at the Rice River. It could be assumed that the demon race had already tried to encroach on the human territory at that time. It was just that they lay dormant for three years before making their move.
…
The iron hooves of the heavy cavalry trampled over with the force of a gust of wind and thunder. Lin Muyu switched to the Pear Blossom Spear, and with a flick of her wrist, she unleashed the Hongchuan style. Golden God Binding Chains encircled the Pear Blossom Spear, greatly increasing its lethality. Two demons who attempted to use their black battle qi to resist were directly pierced by the Pear Blossom Spear, turning into sieves. It was a tragic sight to behold.
Wei Chou, Qin Yan, and the others pulled out their weapons and slashed wildly in the crowd, charging forward without stopping.
However, these high-level demons were not like ordinary infantrymen who would sit and wait for death. They were actually attacking, killing the soldiers of the Brave Dragon Battalion along with their warhorses. Each of them was filled with killing intent, and their imposing manner was very frightening.
After a round of attacks, the high-level demons had lost close to fifty people, but the Brave Dragon Camp had lost at least a hundred people. Lin Muyu felt a chill in her heart when she saw this. She quickly turned her horse around and charged again, shouting, "Again!"
…
"Ga … Ga …"
The Third Prince held onto the longsword with one arm and panted heavily. His face was pale. He finally knew how powerful this group of enemies in front of him was. This group of people were not as weak as the human armies in the Lingdong Province and Tongtian Province. On the contrary, they were very strong. Be it in terms of strength or willpower, they were far stronger than those people!
"Your Highness …" A demon warrior with a bloody hole in his shoulder said with a trembling voice, "This group of people is very powerful. I'm afraid … I'm afraid we can no longer return to Demonic City alive …"
"No!"
The Third Prince clenched his teeth and said, "I brought you guys here, so I'll definitely bring you guys back!"
"Yes … Your Highness!"
When he raised his head, the Longdan Army Camp's charge had swept over again. The Third Prince roared and raised his Dou Qi to its peak state. However, the strength of his Dou Qi was far from what it used to be. Before he could raise his longsword, he was pushed back by Lin Muyu's Mountain Stagger Style. Suddenly, a golden light flashed around him, and gourd vines broke out from the ground and wrapped around the Third Prince's body, making him unable to move. At the same time, Lin Muyu, who was in front of him, rushed over in her silver armor. She stretched out one hand and grabbed the Third Prince's arm. She lifted him up onto the warhorse in front of her.
She raised her fist and Dou Qi swirled around her. Then, she punched the back of the Third Prince's head and knocked him out.
Wei Chou and the rest quickly urged their horses and charged forward, attacking a group of stubborn high level Demon Clan warriors once again. The result was almost the same, the Demon Clan lost tens of people, while the Brave Dragon Camp lost over a hundred people.
"Change to White Drill Arrows!"
Lin Muyu said loudly, "Surround them and shoot them with arrows!"
"Yes!"
After changing their tactics, the Longdan Army Camp no longer attacked. Instead, a group of people slowly surrounded the demons with shields. Arrows flew in all directions, and the group of demons who only had swords and no shields became living targets. They could only wait to die. The arrows pierced into their bodies, and they were either killed or injured.
After a while, there was no more resistance from the demons. In the center of the encirclement of the Longdan Army Camp, a group of high-level demons were lying on the ground. Their bodies were full of arrows. Occasionally, a few groans could be heard, but some of them were actually still alive.
"Commander, what should we do?" Wei Chou asked.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Lock the living ones and bring them back to the camp. As for the dead … bring their bodies back to the camp."
"Yes!"
Qin Yan carried the Fire Serpent Spear and arrived in front of a demon's corpse. He stared in shock as the blood energy on this demon's body continuously condensed and finally formed a blood red bead. He said, "Big Brother, what is this?"
Lin Muyu had seen this before. After high-level demons died, they would perhaps gather their spirit energy together and form this thing. She said, "Bring it together. It should be a good thing and can help humans cultivate."
"Yes!"
At this time, Su Yu and her Fourth Uncle walked over. Su Yu's wrist was still dripping with blood. She smiled and said, "Yu, it's all thanks to you bringing people over. Otherwise, this place would be unimaginable."
"Is Aunt Lian's injury okay?" Lin Muyu took out a bottle of healing medicine and said, "This is a top quality healing medicine. It won't leave a disability. Aunt Lian, use this."
"En, thank you." Su Yu smiled gratefully. When she took the medicine, a trace of gloominess flashed across her face. She said, "Unfortunately, most of the soldiers that came with me have died in battle."
"These high level demons are very powerful. They are different from the Yihe Country's army."
Lin Muyu cupped her hands and said, "I will send people to collect the bodies of the Zither Dragon Army soldiers and bury them according to the Empire's martyr's rites. Don't worry, Aunt Lian."
"En, there are still four thousand barrels of black beech oil over there. Bring them back as well."
"Okay!"
… …
In this battle, the Longdan Army Camp had lost over three hundred people. Of the five hundred demons, over four hundred had died and thirty-six were seriously injured. Including the third prince, there were a total of thirty-seven.
When Lin Muyu led the group back to the city under the moonlight, she saw Qin Yin coming over under Zhang Wei's protection.
The moonlight shone on her delicate face and seemed to coat it with a layer of silver light. When Qin Yin saw Lin Muyu and Su Yu walking side by side, she immediately went up and said, "Brother Yu, Aunt Lian, are you alright? Who is it that is ambushing our army? "
Lin Muyu threw the third prince to the ground and said, "It's these people."
"Humans?" Qin Yin was stunned.
"No, the demon race. Xiao Yin, you've seen the demon race's Marshal QianFeng right? They are almost no different from humans. If you don't open your eyes, you'll think they are humans."
"En."
Wei Chou walked up and carried the unconscious third prince and said, "Daren, what should we do with these demons?"
"Treat their wounds. Don't let them die. Lock them up and watch them carefully. They are useful." Lin Muyu said.
Su Yu got off her horse and cupped her fists, "Subordinate Su Yu greets Your Highness."
Qin Yin smiled and helped her up, "Aunt Lian, you don't have to be so polite … Ah? Aunt Lian, you're injured. Is it serious? "
"It's just a superficial wound. I'm fine."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Fortunately, Yu's Longdan Army Camp is very elite. Otherwise, we might not have been able to gain an advantage from these demons."
Qin Yin nodded, "Oh right, Brother Yu, you said these demons are useful. What is their use?"
"Whether or not we can force the demons to retreat depends on these captives." Lin Muyu pointed at the unconscious third prince and said, "I heard these demons call this person Your Highness the third prince. He must be an important figure in the demon race. He is now an important trump card in our hands. Let's wait for the demon envoy to ask for peace!"
"En!"
… …
The fourth army's tent was brightly lit. The third prince's severed arm had already been stopped bleeding and was tied to a pillar with a thick iron chain. Wei Chou poured a bucket of cold water on him and he immediately woke up. A pair of purple eyes stared at Lin Muyu with incomparable hatred as he angrily said, "Lin Muyu, you bastard. Kill me. Father and brother will avenge me. Just wait to die!"
"Do you really want to die?"
Lin Muyu held the Dragon Spirit Sword in a reverse grip and suddenly pulled it out. She placed the blade across the third prince's neck. The blade was sharp and cut into his skin, causing blood to flow.
Under the pain, the third prince clenched his teeth and said, "What do you want?"
"I want to ask you some questions. You must answer truthfully."
"What if I don't answer?" The third prince sneered.
"Then I will kill you. Go interrogate your subordinates one by one. If one doesn't answer, then I will kill them." Lin Muyu's eyes were merciless as she smiled and said, "You are a prince of the demon race, so you should know how to sympathize with your subordinates. You don't want them to die for nothing right? If this is the case, then you must answer all of my questions truthfully. "
The third prince had a fearless expression on his face, but his hands were trembling behind his back. Who in this world would not be afraid of death, let alone a member of the royal family like him who had lived like a prince.
"Ask away."
"Good." Lin Muyu nodded her head in satisfaction and sheathed her sword. She said, "How many troops does the demon race have in total?"
"I'm afraid I'll scare you to death." The third prince's eyes trembled as he looked at Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Wei Chou, and Su Yu.
"Isn't that perfect? If you scare us to death, then you can escape. Hurry up and tell us." Lin Muyu smiled.
The third prince was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and said, "Listen up. The demon race army is divided into two super armies. The first army is led by Marshal QianFeng and has a total of one hundred and fifty thousand Armor Demons, thirty thousand winged people, and ten thousand high level God race warriors. The second army is led by Marshal Lei Chong and has a total of two hundred thousand Armor Demons and fifty thousand winged people. How about it? Are you scared now?"
