Lin Muyu frowned as she became a bit scared. According to the Third Prince, there were 400,000 Armor Demons in the demon tribe. In the past two days, nearly 30,000 Armor Demons had been killed. She thought that the demon tribe had suffered a great loss; however, it seemed that 30,000 Armor Demons were just like a drizzle in front of 400,000 Armor Demons!
"Behave!"
Zhang Wei kicked the Third Prince's crotch and said, "If you're so arrogant again, I'll make you a eunuch!"
"Oh … …"
The Third Prince sucked in a breath of cold air. It seemed that it was a vital point of the high-level Demon Race. Zhang Wei didn't know how to control his strength. This time, it must be painful.
Lin Muyu returned to sit beside Qin Yin and continued to ask, "Your Highness, the second question is, what's up with the high-level demons that you speak of? I see that you and the others are all wearing a dark golden emblem on your sleeves. Some have one star, some have more. What does this mean? Please tell me."
The Third Prince didn't want to say it at first, but seeing that Zhang Wei was drawing circles on the ground, he knew that if he didn't say it, he would have to suffer another kick. So he frowned and said, "The high-level Demon Race is a race that can't be blasphemed … … They are the bloodline of the Gods passed down from ancient times. Later, they converged into today's Imperial Family. As for the badge you see, it's just a classification."
"What classification?"
"Humph." The Third Prince sneered and said, "The high level Divine Race cultivates the power of the Star Sect. We worship the Star Sect, therefore, we use the Star Sect as a classification. The high level Divine Race is divided into: One Star Demon Ancestor, Two Star Demon Ancestor, Three Star Demon Ancestor, Four Star Demon Ancestor, and Five Star Demon Ancestor. The One Star Demon Ancestor is the lowest level warrior, the Two Star Demon Ancestor is the warrior that has comprehended the Devil Dou Qi, and the Three Star Demon Ancestor is the warrior that has comprehended the Blood Eye Domain, the Four Star Demon Ancestor is the expert that has comprehended the Blood Fiend Aura, and the Five Star Demon Ancestor is the supreme existence of the Divine Race.
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Wei Chou."
Wei Chou understood, and with a crash, he poured a pile of things in the black bag onto the table. They were all the insignia of the high level Demon Race's Star Sect. He flipped through them for a while, and said, "Commander, there are 7 people in this group who are from the Three Star Demon Sect, 200 people from the Two Star Demon Sect, and the rest are from the One Star Demon Sect."
"I see."
Lin Muyu smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, did you only bring this many people with you this time? You didn't even bring a Four-star Demon Sect disciple with you. Do you think you can destroy an entire legion with just the few of you? "
"I'm not here to attack your army!" The Third Prince glared.
"Then why are you doing this?" Lin Muyu asked.
The Third Prince was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Qin Yin without saying anything.
Lin Muyu's heart turned cold. "Your target is Xiao Yin?"
"That's right." The Third Prince said, "As long as we capture the empress of the human race, this war will be over. It's a pity that we failed on the verge of success."
"How did you get the news that the empress would come to Maple Forest Ferry?" Lin Muyu stared at the Third Prince's eyes and asked.
"We naturally have a source of information."
"Tell me the specifics. Who told you?"
"I don't know. I only know that our people bribed some of your people and obtained some reliable information. That's all I know. As for who it was, I really don't know."
Lin Muyu turned to look at Qin Yin, and the two of them looked at each other. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes. There was actually a spy from the Demon Race in the Empire's army. Who could it be? No one knew.
There was no longer any reliable information from the Third Prince. He was just a frivolous high-ranking demon. He thought that with just 500 high-ranking demons, he could run amok in the human race's territory. In the end, he suffered a setback. To QianFeng, Lei Chong, and the other demon commanders, this Third Prince was a useless teammate. However, to Lin Muyu, the Third Prince's "honesty" and "bravery" was especially cute.
"Alright."
Lin Muyu clapped her hands and said, "Someone, escort the Third Prince away. Treat him with good food and drinks. Guard him well. Don't let anything go wrong."
Wei Chou cupped his hands and smiled, "Don't worry, I will personally guard him."
"That's good. Go!"
"Yes!"
Wei Chou led the Third Prince away. However, the Third Prince didn't forget to turn his head to look at Lin Muyu and said, "I eat cloud deer shank every meal. You must prepare some for this prince. Otherwise, I won't say anything else!"
… …
Qin Yin looked at the Third Prince's back in disgust and said, "Brother Yu, what do we do now?"
"I don't know either. Let's wait. When QianFeng receives the news, he will naturally come find us to ask for people."
"En."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Ah Yan."
"Yes, what orders does Big Brother have?"
"Send people to the Unicorn Forest to cut down trees and make some wooden barrels. Secretly fill them with water and place them on the shore. We must let the demons on the west bank see it and do it in secret."
"Ah?" Qin Yan was stunned, "Big Brother, using wooden barrels to fill water … is there any use?"
"There's no other way …" Lin Muyu said, "Our black beech oil has been used up. We can't let the demons know that we can't use fire anymore. Otherwise, they will immediately attack. I can't imagine what kind of scene it will be after four hundred thousand demons cross the river. So we can only hide it and delay for as long as we can."
"So it's like this, I understand!" Qin Yan cupped his fists, "I'll do it immediately!"
At the side, Su'Er pursed her lips and smiled, "Yu is really smart. Even if he can't trick the demons, he can still make them feel some fear."
"That's right!"
Lin Muyu thought for a few seconds and said, "Xiao Yin, how is the war over at the Yihe Country? According to what I know, the Yihe Country should have already started a war with the demons right? "
"En."
Qin Yin nodded and her starry eyes looked at Lin Muyu. She said with a smile, "According to the letter our scouts sent back, the Yihe Country's Seventh Commander Long Qianlin has led nearly two hundred thousand troops to defend the Qinling Mountains. He has already fought against the demons for a long time. Moreover, the commander who led the demon army to attack the Qinling Mountains seems to be that Lei Chong you mentioned."
"Lei Chong ah …" Lin Muyu furrowed her brows and said, "I hope Long Qianlin can defend. Otherwise, the Yihe Country will soon be destroyed and we will fall into a situation where we can't support ourselves."
Qin Yin was startled and said, "Brother Yu, you're saying … we have the possibility of allying with the Yihe Country?"
"En, it's not impossible."
Unexpectedly, Su Yu said firmly, "Ah-Yu, never have the idea of forming an alliance with the Yihe Kingdom. Have you forgotten the blood debt of the Battle of Lanyan City? Chu Huaiyin, Qin Yan, Luo Lie, so many loyal and brave generals of the empire died under the iron hooves of the Yihe Country. We can never forget this kind of humiliation. "
"I know, Aunt Su."
Lin Muyu moved her lips and said, "I'm only saying that we can do this as a last resort."
Qin Yin smiled at the side and held Lin Muyu's hand, saying, "Yu, I have something else to tell you."
"En, what is it?"
"Commander Xiang Yu has suggested using poison again."
"Ah?"
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Are we going to pour the blood fruit's poison into the river?"
"Yes, Xiang Yu believes that the demon army of hundreds of thousands is stationed at the edge of the river and that there's a water source far to the west. That's why they can only draw water from the river to live. Once the water is poisoned, the demons will naturally retreat without attacking."
"Will the blood fruit's poison be effective against the armor demons?" Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Unless we catch an armor demon and pour the blood fruit's poison into it. If the demon is poisoned to death, then we can use this plan. Otherwise, don't use it. The river won't be able to withstand this kind of torment."
"En, I'll tell Xiang Yu what you mean. However, it's not easy to catch a living armor demon. I'm afraid we'll need some time."
"Don't worry, QianFeng will come to our camp soon."
"Alright, then I'll wait here."
"En."
… …
The northern side of the Qinling Mountains was covered in mottled snow while the southern side was a fertile forest. Banners were fluttering above the Qinling Mountains with the emblem of the Yihe Kingdom gently swaying in the wind.
Long Qianlin, clad in commander's armor, was guarding the mountain with a spear in his hand. He gazed into the distance and said with a frown, "Deputy General Liu, the demon camp seems to have moved."
Deputy General Liu cupped his fists and said, "Yes, they've retreated about five kilometers, but they haven't gone far. This general believes that their next attack will be even fiercer. In addition, Commander, we don't have enough arrows and more and more soldiers are getting injured. I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand a few more attacks from the armor demons."
"Yes …" Long Qianlin sighed with sorrow in his eyes, "We didn't even receive ten thousand armor demon corpses and lost seventy thousand men. If it wasn't for the Qinling Mountains as a natural stronghold, I'm afraid we would've been breached by the demons a long time ago."
Deputy General Liu said, "Commander has done his best, there's no need to blame yourself."
"How's the situation over at the Empire?"
"Our people sent over a letter not long ago." Deputy General Liu said respectfully, "The Empire's three hundred thousand troops are defending along the Daojiang River against the first demon legion. They used the fire attack that Lin Muyu suggested. In the battle last night, they killed more than thirty thousand armor demons and thousands of winged people, but they lost nearly a hundred thousand men. But the power of this battle has made the first demon legion not dare to make any more moves."
Long Qianlin's face revealed a touch of relief, "With Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing around, I'm afraid it won't be easy for the demons to conquer the Empire's territory. Fortunately, the Empire reduced the defensive pressure by half for us. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the Qinling Mountains."
Deputy General Liu said, "Commander … Commander's secret order has long said that if there's a chance, we can make a small move to make the Empire's army collapse on its own."
"What!?"
Long Qianlin was startled, "Commander wants to let the demons occupy Lanyan City?"
"Yes."
Deputy General Liu's eyes were stern, "After all, the demons' hatred for our Yihe Country is far less than the Empire's hatred for us."
Long Qianlin, "…"
