"Ka ka ka …"
The Stars Sword cut the Armor Demon's body into pieces. Lin Muyu spun in the battle formation, like a flaming iron lotus strangling the crowd. At this moment, there was only killing in Lin Muyu's eyes. There was no other color. He had even forgotten his own existence. His Yi Hai was chaotic and chaotic, only the rising flame of revenge.
"What's wrong with me?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help asking himself as his body spun and killed. But blood … He seemed to be very thirsty for the blood of the Devil Clan. He couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart.
"Yu …"
Qin Yin came from behind and suddenly grabbed Lin Muyu's arm.
"Get out of my way!"
Lin Muyu reflexively slashed backward with his sword. Qin Yin was caught off guard and used the Celestial Dragon Crystal to block, but it was too late. Blood bloomed on her arm. The Stars Sword was too sharp.
"Yu, what's wrong with you …"
Qin Yin was stunned and looked straight at Lin Muyu. The young man in front of her was no longer the Lin Muyu from before. His expression was very distorted, and there was only violence and killing in his eyes. His whole body was covered in blood. Moreover, he didn't have half of Lin Muyu's aura. It was as if he was a tool used to killing.
"Yu, don't scare me!"
Qin Yin stood there helplessly, tears swirling in her eyes. This war had forced Lin Muyu into this state. How could Qin Yin not feel distressed? She knew that Lin Muyu was not obsessed with fame and status. He only participated in this war for himself and for the promise he made to the former Emperor Qin Jin.
"What happened to me …"
Lin Muyu's Yi Hai was a sea of blood. His figure stood majestically above the Yi Hai, looking at the endless sea of blood. Layers of murderous intent surged in his heart. The endless rage made it difficult for him to control. Even though he knew that he had hurt Qin Yin, it was still difficult to calm the murderous intent in his heart. It was as if there was a demon residing in the depths of his soul.
"Stay away from me, Xiao Yin." With a low roar, he turned around and rushed into the Devil Race's camp like a wild beast. He had to kill. Only the blood of the Devil Race could calm his mind.
…
"Lord Commander, what's going on?" Situ Xue asked in astonishment.
"I don't know …"
Qin Yin shook her head. Looking from afar, she saw a bloody storm suddenly set off in the crowd of Armor Demons. It was Lin Muyu's Berserk Sword Storm. Perhaps only he could create such a purgatory on earth on the battlefield!
However, the high-level Devil Race shot arrows one after another, and the Armor Demons threw their weapons one after another. They were all hurting Lin Muyu. No matter how strong he was, he could not control the heavy wheel of war by himself.
"Kill!"
Qin Yin turned over and mounted the horse. The Nation Suppressing Sword in her hand was surrounded by the Dragon Crystal. She led Situ Sen, Situ Xue, Fengxi, Luo Xin, and the others to fight with all their might. If they wanted to defeat the Devil Race, they could only fight with their lives!
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already night. The huge pits of the Magic Crystal Cannons on the battlefield were very frightening.
Apart from the cannons, there were many corpses, both of the Devil Race and of humans.
"Ga … Ga …"
Lin Muyu knelt in a cannon pit, surrounded by densely packed corpses of Armor Demons. He was seriously injured. His chest was even directly penetrated by an arrow, and there were small wounds all over his body. Akatosaurus sat next to its master, swaying its huge head and gently rubbing its master's arm, as if it was comforting its master.
"What's wrong with me …"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath. His Yi Hai was no longer the same as before. Instead, it was shrouded by a blood-red cloud, and the original color of his Yi Hai could no longer be seen. It was as if this blood cloud was hiding a devil. Once it started killing, Lin Muyu would fall into a state of falling into the devil's path. The Stars Sword was stained with blood. He really did not know how many Devil Race he had killed.
"Rustle, rustle …"
At the edge of the pit, a pair of bloody boots stepped on the blood-soaked soil, and the blood-stained Female Empress's battle robe swayed gently.
Lin Muyu raised his head, and his mind was in a daze, "Xiao Yin …"
Qin Yin saw that he was fine, and two lines of tears fell down. She jumped into Lin Muyu's arms and cried, "You almost scared me to death, you almost scared me to death …"
Lin Muyu gently stroked her shoulder and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. It's as if I was possessed."
"Well, it's good that you are fine now …"
Behind him, Situ Xue walked over with a blood-stained sword and said respectfully, "Commander, QianFeng has ordered to retreat. We have won a pyrrhic victory in this battle."
"Good …"
Lin Muyu slowly stood up with the help of Qin Yin, but saw a shocking sword wound on Qin Yin's shoulder. He could not help but say, "Xiao Yin, you are injured, this is …"
Situ Xue said, "Sir, this is your wound."
"I …"
Lin Muyu felt a pain in his heart. "I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm like this …"
"It's okay."
Qin Yin smiled sweetly. "It's just a small wound. Let's go back to camp. You have to recuperate quickly."
…
When Lin Muyu was helped back to the camp, Chu Yao was so scared that she almost cried. She had never seen Lin Muyu suffer such a serious injury. There was not a single part of his body that was unharmed, and his face was full of scars. Fortunately, his muscles, bones, and skin were very tough, and he had a strong recovery rate. Furthermore, his Saint body would not leave any scars. Otherwise, he would be considered disfigured.
The next morning, in the human camp, Lin Muyu sat on the commander's seat with his body covered in bandages. This was the first time he sat in the commander's seat in front of so many people, and Qin Yin had acquiesced.
"Is Commander Yu's injury alright?" Su Muyun asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Lin Muyu smiled.
On the other hand, Su Muyun coughed violently a few times. His face was extremely pale, and his body was very weak. Lin Muyu could not help but ask, "Duke Yun, is your body … alright?"
Su Muyun shook his head. "I'm fine. I just caught a cold."
At the side, Chu Yao said, "Duke Yun's condition is very serious. This subordinate suggests that … Duke Yun should take the carriage back to Five Valleys City to recuperate. Otherwise, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."
"The war is urgent. As a subject of the empire, how can I leave?" Su Muyun waved his hand. "I'm fine. Don't worry. If the demons don't retreat, I won't leave."
Qin Yin worriedly said, "Grandfather, but your body …"
"I'm fine. I'm really fine."
Su Muyun smiled. "Yesterday's battle was very fruitful. The demons were defeated and retreated. I think QianFeng has less than half of his troops left."
Lin Muyu asked, "How are our losses?"
Situ Xue's expression was solemn. "Sir, there are only twenty-five thousand people left in the Longdan Army Camp … The other legions suffered even more. The God Might Battalion has less than four thousand people left, and the Steel Blade Army has less than ten thousand people. Now, we can use less than one hundred and fifty thousand people. Most of them are new recruits from the Cloud Province and the Steel Wall. Our combat power is worrying."
"What about the demons?"
"We cleaned up the battlefield early in the morning. We found fifty thousand Armor Demons' corpses and more than four thousand high-level demons' corpses. Many of them were directly destroyed by the Magic Crystal Cannons. Preliminary estimates show that QianFeng can use less than thirty thousand Armor Demons and less than five thousand high-level demons. The Winged Tribe's combat power is average, so we don't need to count them."
"How many weapons and Magic Crystal Cannons do we have left?"
"There are thirty-nine Magic Crystal Cannons and more than eight hundred cannonballs. However …" Situ Xue's expression darkened. "In the battle on the Dao River yesterday, Wei Chou and the navy's warships annihilated six flying snakes. Of the navy's sixty-four warships, only eight are left. General Wei Chou is seriously injured and is recuperating in the barracks."
"Wei Chou is seriously injured?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Accompany me to see him later."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu looked at everyone and said, "Are there any changes in the battle?"
Zhen Yifan said, "Xiang Yu is defending the Hundred Ridge City. Tang Lan's reinforcements are on the way. Also … there is news from the Heaven's Pivot Province. The local government said that a human army is entering the Heaven's Pivot Province from the Cloud Ridge. They are attacking wantonly and have already seized six cities in the Heaven's Pivot Province."
"Human army? What's their background? "
"It's the demon race's advance party. If I'm not wrong." Zeng Yifan frowned. "QianFeng is delaying us here while sending his puppet army to attack the Heaven's Pivot Province. If nothing unexpected happens, the demon race's advance party has already surrounded Divine Shadow City. Most of the troops stationed in Divine Shadow City have been transferred to the frontlines. QianFeng's wishful thinking is to use this battle to exchange for a rich and populous Heaven's Pivot Province!"
Luo Xin laughed coldly and said, "The vanguard army is a bunch of cowards. There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you give me an army of twenty thousand, I can take back Divine Shadow City from their hands."
"Don't act rashly." Lin Muyu said, "No one knows the true strength of the demon race. Perhaps QianFeng doesn't have any troops left, but as long as there are thirty to fifty thousand armored demons in the Heaven's Pivot Province, I'm afraid that even a hundred thousand of our troops will be sent to their deaths. Unless Big Brother Feng's main force is transferred back, the empire's army won't be able to fight the demon race head on."
"Then what do we do now?" Su Muyun asked.
Lin Muyu respectfully said, "Fortify the walls and clear the fields. Clean up the battlefield, bury and burn all the corpses so that the demon race loses their food supply. It won't be long before QianFeng retreats. If QianFeng retreats, it means that the demon race's troops have been completely wiped out. We can then regroup and kill our way out of the steel walls and recover the Winter and Tongtian provinces. If QianFeng doesn't retreat, it means that the demon race's vitality hasn't been greatly damaged. We still need to continue to deal with them."
As she said this, Lin Muyu looked at Situ Sen and said, "General Sen, order all the people in the Longdan Army Camp who can still fight to be stationed at the frontlines. Have the magic crystal cannons on standby."
"Yes, Commander!"
Lin Muyu stood up. Qin Yin floated over to support her and said, "Let me accompany you to see General Wei Chou?"
"You go see him personally. I'm afraid you'll scare that kid."
"Hehe, I won't."
