Dragons were the closest existences to gods in the mortal world. Dragons were sacred.
Demons were the gathering of evil spirits in the Three Realms. They were demonic creatures that could unleash the power of extreme Yin and evil.
Magic crystals came from the earth's mineral veins and were derived from the corpses of demonic creatures. They possessed immense destructive power and impact, causing the Magic Crystal Cannons to be shockingly powerful.
However, they were mutually exclusive. Dragons were sacred creatures and were born with the power to rule over demons. Dragon crystals were the crystallization of a dragon's life essence. Any cultivator who could merge with a dragon and cultivate the Dragon Imperial Cyclone would have to combine the essence of the dragon crystal with the divine power of heaven and earth in the human body. That was why the seemingly simple Dragon Imperial Cyclone not only contained divine power, but also the essence of the dragon crystal.
The Magic Crystal Cannons could destroy anything, but they were extremely fearful of the dragon crystal and could not touch it at all!
…
When the smoke in the sky dissipated, the dragon riders were still soaring in the sky. The dragon's eyes were burning with hatred. Xu Chuan raised his dragon spear and laughed. "Two months ago, we knew that the Dragon Imperial Cyclone was a natural counter to the Magic Crystal Cannons. Why …? QianFeng, do you think you can defeat us with mere magic crystals? Warriors of the Long Ji Army, kill! "
The roars of the Tiger Leopard Riders mixed with the roars of the dragon and shot into the sky.
The sound of hooves thundered. The last three thousand Zhongnan Iron Cavalry raised their weapons and charged at their opponents. This was their final choice. They would rather die than be humiliated!
QianFeng looked at the dissipating smoke from the Magic Crystal Cannons and took a few steps back in despair. He knelt on the ground. The death of five hundred Winged Warriors was only exchanged for the ridicule of the enemy?
For the first time in his life, QianFeng could no longer see hope.
Watching as the Central South Iron Cavalry charged into the opponent's Tiger Leopard Cavalry phalanx and then turned into a pile of charcoal in the dragon flames, Qian Feng felt as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. The demon race was really finished.
…
Right at this moment, a 'shua shua shua' sound came from the precipice behind him. Thick ropes that were over a hundred meters long were hanging down from the precipice. Immediately after, a voice sounded in his ear, "Marshal QianFeng, what are you waiting for? Take your men and abandon the warhorses. Take advantage of the night and secretly move away. You definitely don't want to see the Demon race being exterminated, right?"
It was Lin Muyu's voice.
QianFeng's throat was a little dry. He wanted to shout but he couldn't. He never thought that Lin Muyu would really come. The enemy was so powerful that they came to the Shattered Cauldron Realm with a crushing force. If Lin Muyu made a move, it would mean that the Qin Empire declared war on the Celestial Pole Continent. This required a lot of confidence and courage.
QianFeng knew that he did not have this kind of courage. If it was not a last resort, he would never be willing to be the enemy of such a powerful opponent like the Tianji Empire.
However, taking a step forward was an abyss, and taking a step back was also an abyss. QianFeng had no choice but to do so.
At the front, the 3,000 Zhongnan Iron Cavalry were desperately resisting the attack of the Tiger Leopard Riders and the Tianji Dragon Riders. Behind them were a group of high-level demon infantrymen who had taken off their armors and were holding steel swords, ready to fight in close combat. QianFeng had no choice but to do so.
"Quick!"
He jumped up and pointed at the ropes hanging down from the precipice. He said, "Everyone, climb up the ropes immediately and leave the Wild Donkey Valley."
The deputy general was shocked. "But our cavalry is still in front."
"They are warriors who are loyal to the country. Don't say anything more. Retreat immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Zhongnan Iron Cavalry, who were ready to die heroically, grabbed the ropes one after another. Their climbing skills were good. They grabbed the ropes and rushed to the top of the precipice as if they were walking on flat ground.
QianFeng quickly rose up with his sword in hand. Looking from afar, there was almost no one on the precipice. However, if he looked closely, he would find that the people brought by Lin Muyu were all wearing white robes, which blended in with the color of the snow. It was very difficult to notice them. No wonder they could break through the blockade of the Tianji Empire's army and come here.
Lin Muyu held her sword in her hand as she stood on the peak of the mountain. She exuded an honest and calm aura. Perhaps, only a famous general who had been through hundreds of battles would have such an aura.
QianFeng could not help but be moved. He said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Emperor Qin …"
"Marshal QianFeng, long time no see."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to save us …"
"Stop talking. Hurry up and retreat. How many people do you have?"
"Only 5,000."
"So few …?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
QianFeng could not help but feel sad. He said, "This is the last 5,000 people of the Shen Clan. Your Highness, why did you come to save us?"
The cold wind blew and made Lin Muyu's cloak flutter. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "If I didn't come to save you, it would be our turn after the Tianji Empire eliminated the entire Devil Clan."
QianFeng's heart trembled. Lin Muyu's short sentence was simple, but it was better than thousands of words. What could be more practical than this sentence? In the face of a common enemy, enemies would often become friends. This was an unchanging truth. QianFeng had always admired Lin Muyu's character and strategy. In fact, he hoped to have such a friend deep in his heart. However, QianFeng never thought that the price of becoming friends with Lin Muyu was the destruction of the entire Devil Clan!
Looking down at the whole Wild Donkey Valley, flames rose to the sky.
This was not a fight, but a massacre. The 3,000 Zhongnan Iron Cavalry were no match for the 5,000 Tiger Leopard Cavalry at all. Moreover, they had the help of the invincible Dragon Cavalry.
QianFeng could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
Lin Muyu stepped forward and patted his arm gently. She said, "Only by surviving can you have the possibility to wash away your shame. Take your 5,000 people and follow me. Except for the Qin Empire, you have no other way out."
"What does Your Highness plan to do with us?" QianFeng's eyes flickered. He said, "I am a member of the Shen Clan. Even if Your Highness saved me, QianFeng would never be willing to be a slave."
"I know."
Lin Muyu sighed deeply. QianFeng was such a proud person. How could he surrender to the enemy? After pondering for a while, Lin Muyu said, "Let's go back to Zhongnan City first. The rest will be clear later. If you are willing, you can continue to be the Marshal of the Devil Clan. I will give up the Tongtian Gorge. We will govern the Tongtian Gorge together and fight against the Celestial Pole Continent together."
QianFeng was stunned. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"It's not that I want to take care of you. I just don't want to be destroyed." Lin Muyu looked at the scene of the massacre at the foot of the mountain and said meaningfully.
…
Very soon, the five thousand high-level demons had all retreated. After Lin Muyu gave the order, everyone abandoned the rope and quickly disappeared into the snowy forest. It would take at least a day to walk back to Zhongnan City from here, and this day would not be an easy one.
In the biting cold wind, Lin Muyu looked to the southwest and said softly, "Wei Chou, it's up to you now."
QianFeng said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the attack of the magic crystal is ineffective against the Dragon Knights. They have a strange power field that can form a boundary that can perfectly defend against the invasion of the magic crystal."
"I saw it."
Lin Muyu nodded, but her heart was full of despair and helplessness. The suicide attack of the Wing Men Legion of the Devil Clan was completely ineffective, which also meant that the magic crystal cannons of the Empire would be helpless against the Dragon Knights. The biggest trump card was useless. What would the Qin Empire rely on to defeat the powerful enemy?
After pondering for a while, Lin Muyu's consciousness had penetrated dozens of miles and directly found the aura of Wei Chou. Suddenly, a golden light fell on the snowy ground.
This was the oracle of the same plane.
Wei Chou immediately knelt and said, "I pay my respects to Your Highness!"
"Wei Chou, there is one thing I must tell you. The attack of the magic crystal is ineffective against the Dragon Knights. Their Dragon Imperial Battle Spiral can perfectly defend against the invasion of the magic crystal cannons, so your magic crystal crossbows are destined to be useless."
"What?" Wei Chou was shocked, "Then … then how are we going to resist the enemy?"
"We have to resist even if we can't!"
Lin Muyu's expression was a bit strict as she said, "This time, the importance of rescuing QianFeng's troops is extraordinary. Only the Devil Clan knows how to use the worm nest in the Tongtian Gorge. Only when QianFeng surrenders to us can we restart the worm nest and hatch new giant flying snakes to help us resist the invasion of the Dragon Knights. You must bite the QianFeng Legion's main force for four hours. Only then can I bring QianFeng's people back to the southern part of the city safely. This is a military order, you cannot disobey!"
Wei Chou clenched his teeth and said, "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely complete the mission!"
…
The moment Lin Muyu's oracle disappeared, Wei Chou only felt his whole body trembling. Was it because the weather was too cold? Perhaps.
The war flag was waved, and Wei Chou's voice reverberated across the snowy plains, "Brothers, prepare to attack!"
The drums thundered, and the twenty thousand heavy cavalry of the Longdan Army Camp galloped through the snowy ground.
After traveling for a short distance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Flames flickered, and the opponent had already come to face them. It was the heavy cavalry of the Long Ji Army. The heavy cavalry of the Celestial Pole Continent was more focused on defense. Their whole body was almost wrapped in thick armor, and their warhorses seemed to be a bit stronger than those of the Shattered Cauldron Realm, enough to support this heavy weight.
Dragon roars could be heard in the sky, and only black figures could be seen in the wind and snow.
Wei Chou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he knew that he definitely couldn't take the initiative to fight. If he were to be stuck by the opponent in close combat, his own people would definitely not be able to escape.
"Change to the Magic Crystal Crossbow, don't aim at the Dragon Knights, aim and shoot 20 meters in front of the heavy cavalry on the ground. After a round of shooting, immediately change to the White Drill Arrow Crossbow. Fight while retreating, don't let the opponent stick to us!" Wei Chou roared out an order.
He was very smart, and knew how to deal with sudden changes.
Although many of the cavalry of the Longdan Army Camp were deeply puzzled, military orders were like mountains, and no one disobeyed. One by one, they took out the Magic Crystal Crossbow, loaded the Magic Crystal Arrows with azure blue luster, and aimed straight into the distance.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
The war drums reverberated, and the Long Ji Army launched an attack. They all raised their torches, and Wei Chou only took a glance and felt a chill in his heart. The Long Ji Army had at least thirty thousand heavy cavalry here, and in addition to the dozens of Dragon Knights in the sky, their strength was already terrifying to the point that it was enough to completely annihilate the army behind him!
