"Tell Situ Xue to stop the bombardment."
Lin Muyu suddenly said.
"Yes!"
Although Wei Chou was somewhat puzzled, he still waved the flag and ordered Situ Xue to stop the bombardment.
After nearly an hour of bombardment, there were no more armored demons left in the valley. Lei Chong was an exception.
Holding her Stars Sword, Lin Muyu spurred her Snowtreading Horse towards Lei Chong's direction. When the smoke dispersed, Lin Muyu saw Lei Chong standing in the wilderness awkwardly, surrounded by terrifying craters. Apart from that, there were broken body parts of the Armor Demons everywhere. A burnt smell filled Lin Muyu's nose.
"Lin Muyu!"
Lei Chong's golden armor had been melted and stuck to his body, making him look like he was cast. He stood trembling in the smoke and roared, "Are you satisfied now? My army is gone, all gone. Are you finally satisfied now? You demon, you killing god! "
Lin Muyu didn't say anything. She rode forward and gently pressed the Stellar Sword on Lei Chong's shoulder, "Kneel down."
"In your dreams!"
"Kneel down!"
Lin Muyu roared. The Holy King domain covered the sky and the earth. The Stellar Sword trembled slightly. The Rank 6 Divine Seal was quietly enhancing Lin Muyu's coercion ability. Lei Chong was seriously injured, so how could he resist? He knelt in front of Lin Muyu, but his scarlet eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.
"Kill."
Lei Chong looked at her fiercely and said, "If you kill me, the Divine Race will still trample the human territory. Just wait and see, QianFeng will definitely avenge me, hahahaha …"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh, "Do you still remember that time in Winter Frost City when you cut off Lord Du Hai's head in order to cover my retreat? I will never forget that scene."
"I have cut off countless heads in my life. I don't know which one you are talking about!"
"It doesn't matter. You'll end up the same way soon anyway."
Lin Muyu did not wait for Lei Chong to speak again. Her sword flashed past and with a "kacha", Lei Chong's gigantic head flew up into the sky. Lin Muyu quickly pulled out her sword and stabbed his head into the sword, raising it up high!
On both sides of the mountain range, the human army cheered. Almost everyone felt like they had just survived a disaster! Wiping out Lei Chong's entire army should be an unprecedented victory for humans and the Longdan Army Camp, right?
…
Before long, Qin Yin, Qin Yan, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and the rest all came to the valley one after another. Qin Yan cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Big Brother for establishing such an unparalleled miraculous merit!"
Situ Xue said, "Milord is indeed smart. Hehe, Lei Chong, this boorish fellow, still fell for it in the end!"
However, Lin Muyu wasn't too happy. The victory at the Longdan Army Camp was too difficult to come by. Not only did they lose close to 30,000 troops, they had also used up almost all of their magic crystal cannons! What was worse was that the demon race wasn't completely wiped out. They still had a very strong military force in the Canglin Valley area!
"Military intelligence."
Lin Muyu held Qin Yin's small hand and said to the people behind her.
Fengxi cupped his fists and said, "We seem to have only wiped out a large portion of the Lei Chong Army in this battle. They still have about 30,000 Armor Demons coming as reinforcements. They will arrive in about an hour. Milord, should we ambush them again and wipe them out too?"
"30,000 people?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She said, "No, let's retreat. Our cannons are about to be used up. Our arrows are exhausted and our weapons are severely damaged. If we fight another 30,000 Armor Demons, even if we can wipe them out, we will have to pay the price of the entire Longdan Army Camp. Pass down my order, everyone retreat!"
"Yes!"
Situ Sen said, "Milord, the magic crystal cannons are too heavy. It took us two days to move them from the flat ground to the mountain. If we carry them down … I'm afraid it will be too late."
"No."
Lin Muyu gritted her teeth and said, "Block the barrels of the magic crystal cannons and detonate them. Don't leave any for the demon race or the Yihe Country. Just take all the magic crystal cannons."
"What?"
Wei Chou was stunned and said with distress, "Commander, 100 magic crystal cannons. Are we just going to give them up?"
"No, it's too late. Blow them all up!"
"Yes!"
"Retreat!"
With a wave of the flag, the Longdan Army Camp retreated from the valley. They left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to bury their companions' corpses. But that was the way of war. Small-hearted kindness would only bring greater losses or even death.
…
At this time, the news that the Valiant Dragon Army had annihilated the Thunder Chong Army in the Nameless Valley had not yet spread. The only news that reached the Yihe Country was that the empire's army had suffered a crushing defeat and the demon race had also suffered a great loss. Lin Muyu was setting up the Eight Formation Maze on the path of retreat to deal with the Thunder Chong Army.
Sword Garret.
Qin Yi, clad in a golden dragon robe, stood majestically on the Sword Garret's stronghold. He looked at the misty Cang Lin Valley in the distance. His eyes flickered with a profound light. "What's the latest military intelligence?"
Ji Yao cupped his fists excitedly and said, "Qin Yin has lost! Su Long's army was annihilated and Su Long committed suicide. More than seventy percent of the God Might Battalion was killed and fifty percent of the Steel Blade Army was injured or killed. It is said that the demon race even set fire to their provisions. Currently, the empire's army has completely retreated from the Cang Lin Valley. Lin Muyu fought against the Thunder Chong Army with only tens of thousands of soldiers and suffered a great loss. I estimate that the empire's army has lost more than half of the three hundred thousand soldiers in the Cang Lin Valley. There are only one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers left.
"You mean, Qin Yin only has one hundred thousand soldiers with her?"
"That's right!"
"Then …" Qin Yi squinted and smiled, "How are the demon race's losses?"
Ji Yao said, "Both sides lost about one against four. The empire lost two hundred thousand soldiers and the demon race lost about fifty thousand. However, the Eight Formation Maze that Lin Muyu set up is said to be very powerful. It has already caused the Thunder Chong Army to lose tens of thousands of soldiers. And according to the information that our spies sent back, the demon race only sent a total of one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers into the Cang Lin Valley. Most of them have already died. "
Qin Yi touched the cold battlement and said, "QianFeng is cunning and cannot be careless. Where is he now?"
"I don't know."
Ji Yao smiled slightly and said, "But I will congratulate the commander."
"Why do you congratulate?"
"We have just received a letter. The human army that the demon race is building has already crossed the Cloud Ridge and is taking advantage of the situation to attack Tian Shu Province and Yun Zhong Province. If there are no accidents, Tian Shu Province and Yun Zhong Province are empty of soldiers and will soon change hands. But now … QianFeng is most likely not in the Cang Lin Valley anymore. He is commanding the attack on Yun Zhong Province and Tian Shu Province!"
"What?" Qin Yi's body trembled, "The demon race is attacking Yun Zhong Province? That is … Su Muyun that old fox's nest! "
"That's right."
Ji Yao smiled and said, "Yun Zhong Province and Tian Shu Province are the provinces where the empire's population is concentrated. They provide a lot of soldiers. QianFeng is not a fool. Occupying these two provinces means a lot to him! If it wasn't for these two provinces being too tempting, why would QianFeng come to our sword pavilion personally to discuss the matter of dividing the empire's territory! "
Qin Yi took a deep breath, "How many people does the Lei Chong army have?"
"Less than one hundred thousand!"
"Can Lin Muyu block Lei Chong's attack?"
"Obviously not. The demon race's Armor Demon army is invincible in the field. Even Marshal Long's Iron Chain Formation is not a match for Lei Chong, not to mention a mere Lin Muyu. Commander, we cannot hesitate anymore. The opportunity is fleeting. If we wait any longer, Lei Chong will destroy Lin Muyu's army. By then, it will be too late for us to say anything. "
"Alright!"
Qin Yi heavily punched the battlement and turned to the group of generals and said, "Ji Yao, listen to my order. You will be the frontline marshal and lead two hundred thousand soldiers out of the sword pavilion. Set up ten thousand arrow boxes and ambush the Lei Chong army from the rear. Qin Huan, listen to my order. You will lead one hundred thousand soldiers out of the sword pavilion and take a detour through the Qinling Mountains to attack Lin Muyu's rear! Tomorrow at noon, we will attack together! "
"Yes!"
Qin Huan raised his head and said, "Father, we are going to …"
"Destroy Lin Muyu, capture Qin Yin, and kill Lei Chong!"
Qin Yi's eyes were filled with an unquestionable look. Indeed, if they did not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Yihe Kingdom would never be able to show off their power as the ruler of the continent. After all, Qin Yi was very clear about the empire's strength. Once Qin Yin was given enough time to organize all the feudal vassals, even two Yihe Kingdoms would not be a match for the empire.
…
Southwest of the Canglin Valley, in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, there was a valley with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. It was already spring.
The Turtle Valley was a valley embedded in the Qinling Mountains. It was surrounded by mountains and it was spring all year round. At this moment, the sound of hooves and training could be heard from the Turtle Valley. There was also an endless stream of food being transported into the valley.
Battle flags fluttered in the wind. Hidden in the Turtle Valley were the remaining fifty thousand soldiers of Xiang Yu's army!
On the mountain peak, Xiang Yu held the Bloodthirsty Spear and looked into the distance. His face was full of anxiety.
"Military report! Military report is here! "
A messenger shouted joyfully from afar.
"What military report?"
Xiang Yu's body trembled as he went forward and asked joyfully.
The messenger replied, "The sword pavilion has sent out their troops! I heard that the sword pavilion has sent out three hundred thousand soldiers for this morning's incident. The Yihe Kingdom has almost turned out all their troops in the Lingnan Province! "
"That's great!"
Xiang Yu clenched his fists, his face filled with ecstasy. "It's time to make a great contribution. Brothers, eat and drink to your heart's content. Let's attack at night!"
"Yes!"
…
In the sword pavilion, the last few thousand-man battalions in the Lingnan Province had already galloped out of the sword pavilion and entered a fertile field. Qin Yi watched the army leave, his heart filled with anticipation and worry at the same time.
However, he did not know that in the dense forest to the northeast of the sword pavilion, countless Armor Demons were silently lying in the weeds. All of them were gripping their weapons tightly. As for the commander-in-chief, QianFeng, his eyes were filled with coldness as he looked into the distance.
Whoosh whoosh …
A winged person flapped his wings and descended from the sky. With a dejected expression, he cried, "Commander-In-Chief, something bad has happened. Commander-In-Chief Lei Chong's troops have been defeated in the valley. More than a hundred thousand soldiers have perished. Commander-In-Chief Lei Chong has died in battle!"
"What?!"
QianFeng trembled as he stood there, his face pale. "How could this be … how could this be …"
