Yao Ming miserably led his army back to the Devil Horn Empire. Seeing that Qin had not attacked, he inwardly let out a sigh of relief and immediately ordered people to strengthen their defenses and activate various formations to prevent Qin from attacking.
Yao Ming's face was incredibly pale. He now understood that he and Zhao Fu were no longer on the same level, and the Devil Horn Empire was no longer on the same level as the Qin Empire.
Both he and the Devil Horn Empire were no longer a match for Qin. This dealt a heavy blow to Yao Ming, who had been very confident and wanted to destroy Qin, and he no longer had the confidence he had before.
Now, he was thinking about how to defend against Qin in the future and not how to attack Qin.
The Devil Horn Empire had suffered great losses this time. Only half of the 30 billion Devil Horn soldiers had returned, and a large number of soldiers had either escaped or died at Qin's hands.
It would take a lot of time and resources to replenish its forces, and the Devil Horn Empire's Genesis Qi had been greatly damaged.
Zhao Fu looked over and saw that Li Baiqing and the Fire Kingdom had arrived, and he had fled back in a sorry state.
At that moment, a valiant-looking General furiously said, "Emperor's son-in-law, I'm going to strip you of all your authority. Now, I announce that you are stripped of all your authority, and the army will be under my command. I will immediately order the withdrawal of the entire army.
"It's not that we didn't gain anything from this battle, but we lost eight billion or so soldiers, which was a heavy blow to the Fire Kingdom. I don't want the remaining soldiers to die here.
"Also, I'll report everything that happened here to His Majesty. As for what he'll decide, don't have too much hope."
Li Baiqing's face was pale, and his body felt quite powerless, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He had nothing to begin with, and he had relied on the Fire Kingdom's faction to obtain his current status and authority.
Now that his authority had been stripped away, he was nothing and did not have any authority at all.
He understood this outcome. Back when he had attacked Qin, he had thought that the Fire Kingdom would be able to easily destroy Qin. However, he had never thought that Qin would develop so quickly. Not only had it stopped the Fire Kingdom's army, but it had also caused the Fire Kingdom to suffer such heavy losses.
He had expected this outcome, but he was powerless to change anything and could only accept his fate.
He was even thinking that he really wasn't the most suitable person to inherit the Great Tang's legacy. What if the Great Tang's legacy was passed to Zhao Fu? Would the Tang Empire be as powerful as Qin? Would it have the glory of Qin?
Now, the inheritance of the Tang Empire must be regretting to death. If it knew what had happened now, it would have refused everyone's test and given the inheritance to Zhao Fu before Qin did.
It was very likely that the Great Tang was also so powerful that it not only destroyed all the human factions, but also became the most terrifying faction in this region.
It was a pity that everything could not be redone. Perhaps it was as if everything was destined. Back then, in order to seize the throne, Li Shimin caused the Xuanwu Gate incident and killed his own brother. Later on, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi also fought for power.
Moreover, this was not the end. Later on, when Wu Zetian's son became the Emperor, he was harmed by his own Empress and daughter, who also wanted to become the Emperor.
Then, Li Longji fought with Princess Taiping for the throne. In the end, he killed Princess Taiping and succeeded in seizing the throne.
In the end, Li Longji was obsessed with Yang Guifei, causing the Anshi Rebellion to occur. He fled to Mawei, where there was a mutiny, and his throne was taken by his own son.
Brothers killing each other, husband and wife killing each other, and father and son killing each other – this was quite common in the Li family. Perhaps this was why such a thing had happened.
Li Baiqing's confidence had been completely crushed by Zhao Fu, and he had lost all motivation. His eyes were quite empty, and his face was quite dim.
As Li Baiqing's military adviser, Su Yan heavily sighed. After opposing Qin so many times, he felt quite tired and understood that he was not a match for Zhao Fu at all.
Perhaps he should have listened to his Junior Apprentice Brother Zhang Heng and traveled the world instead of opposing Qin.
The valiant General looked at Li Baiqing and the others and gave the order, "Keep an eye on them!"
The Generals and soldiers obeyed and looked at Li Baiqing furiously. All of this was because of Li Baiqing and the others that countless people had died, and they placed their resentment on him.
This put an end to Li Baiqing and the others' thoughts of escaping, and they were brought back to the Fire Kingdom by the Generals.
Within the palace, a valiant-looking middle-aged man had a cold expression as he looked at Li Baiqing and the others kneeling below.
He was the King of the Fire Kingdom, Huo Baiwu.
Before, Huo Baiwu greatly trusted Li Baiqing and admired him. He felt that Li Baiqing was very talented, and he had planned to properly nurture him after Li Baiqing destroyed that faction. In the future, he would hand the throne to his daughter, and he would help manage it.
However, he had never thought that Li Baiqing and so many Stage 2 soldiers would not only be unable to destroy a border faction, but they would also suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of that new faction.
"What do you have to say?" Huo Baiwu asked coldly.
Li Baiqing's expression was dim as he said in disappointment, "I have nothing to say; a loss is a loss."
Huo Baiwu coldly harrumphed, "Since you know you're wrong, don't blame me. You need to give an explanation for this."
The Princess of the Fire Kingdom, who was Li Baiqing's wife, Huo Qing 'Er, hurriedly rushed out and cried as she begged, "Imperial Father! This isn't Baiqing's fault; it's that Qin is too powerful. You know Baiqing's abilities. "
Sitting next to him was a beautiful woman with a seductive figure and fiery long hair. She was called Huo Dongmei, and she could not help but say, "Your Majesty, Qing 'Er is right. This time, Li Baiqing didn't attack by himself, and he attacked with a powerful faction. However, he still lost; that Qin's faction is too powerful. "
Hearing this, Huo Baiwu suppressed his anger and looked at the valiant General as he asked, "Is everything you said true? Not only does that faction have many war saint beasts, but its soldiers also grasp Smelting Power? "
The valiant General replied confidently, "That's right! There's no falsehood at all. "
Everyone in the hall was startled. This matter was very shocking to them. How could a Kingdom of a Desolate World have Holy Alchemy Beasts? Moreover, there were also soldiers who had mastered the power of alchemy. Was this an ordinary force?
Moreover, it was said that even though this faction called Qin was a new world, it had become a local tyrant, and many factions feared it.
In fact, sometimes, it had to ally with countless factions to suppress it.
Everyone was quite curious as to what kind of faction Qin was. Why did it have such terrifying strength? Now, it indeed had the strength to threaten the Fire Kingdom.
