What would be the consequences of tens of thousands of people fleeing?
Crowding, trampling, injuries, and death!
The soldiers of Amano City threw away all their weapons and armors. They didn't even have time to ride their horses as they ran away.
No matter how much money they were offered, they wouldn't come to this godforsaken place.
Ou Wuyang and the other ten Amano City leaders desperately tried to stop their army. However, in the face of such a situation, even a genius commander couldn't stop the defeat.
Some of these leaders were highly skilled in martial arts, and some of them were even Dragon Warriors. However, no matter how skilled they were, it was useless at this time.
Their soldiers also ran for their lives. These leaders could only command a few hundred of their personal guards at this time. They were like a small boat drifting with the tide of tens of thousands of deserters.
"General, we have to run away quickly. Otherwise, even if we don't get killed by the undead army, we will be killed by the Silver Wolf Army," someone said to Ou Wuyang.
Looking at the great defeat in front of him, Ou Wuyang wanted to cry but had no tears.
This war lasted for a month. More than 50,000 soldiers were mobilized, and more than 100,000 gold coins were spent. Because the trade routes were cut off, the caravans were robbed and killed, and the losses were uncountable.
Just to destroy the Silver Wolf Army, the price was too high. Most importantly, not only did they not destroy it, but they also returned in defeat.
After fighting for a month, thousands of people from the 12 allied forces died. And the Silver Wolf Army only lost a few hundred people at most.
Tonight's defeat and the number of casualties from trampling each other far exceeded all the casualties in the previous month.
…
Søren used all his strength to throw the dragon flame mark into the undead army.
In an instant, countless undead were like moths flying into a flame.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …" They desperately dived into the dragon flame.
This scene was simply too magnificent.
Countless specters rushed forward one after the other, and then turned into ashes.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of undead were completely swallowed by the dragon flame and disappeared.
And the tens of thousands of undead could no longer see all this. They were surrounded by endless chaotic crowds. Everyone was desperately running away. If they were a little slower, they might be trampled to death.
The fleeing crowd was like a terrifying tide. No one could stop it, and no one could control it.
After a full hour, this terrifying chaos stopped.
Tens of thousands of allied forces had fled, leaving only corpses and wounded on the ground.
Next, Amano City would face great trouble. Some of these defeated soldiers would return to the camp, while others would flee to Amano City.
The camps around Netherworld Ancient City were filled with corpses. Some were not completely dead and were howling in pain.
In this great escape, there were at least five or six thousand casualties, more than the total number of casualties in the past month.
There were weapons, bows, and arrows all over the ground.
Because this was an encirclement. All of the warhorses were gathered in one place.
The escape just now was too sudden, and there was no time to ride a horse in the stable. That was why countless warhorses were scattered everywhere. At first, they ran aimlessly, but after the army was defeated, they calmed down and strolled around, grazing on the grass.
Throughout the entire process, the Silver Wolf Army remained in formation and did not move.
They were also stunned. They thought that they were dead for sure, but they saw Søren perform a shocking miracle. But none of them fled.
Because they thought that they were dead for sure. Moreover, the of of of the of of the of of the of of the of of of.
Therefore, under Yan Yan's order, the entire Silver Wolf Army lined up neatly and watched the whole process.
...
Søren picked up the dragon flame mark. He did not dare to touch it with his hand. It was no longer boiling hot, but almost burning.
He closed the jade box and put it back into his bosom.
He had succeeded. Before daybreak, he had helped the Silver Wolf Army break out of the encirclement. He had performed an impossible miracle.
Yan Yan went forward, knelt on one knee, and offered the sword with both hands. "Silver Wolf Army's Yan Yan greets the Lord. From now on, my Silver Wolf Army will be loyal to the Suo family generation after generation. We will never betray you! "
Søren took the sword, returned it with both hands, and stretched out his hand.
Yan Yan lowered his head and kissed Søren's ring.
At the same time, hundreds of Silver Wolf Warriors behind him knelt down neatly and said in unison, "Silver Wolf Army greets the Lord."
From now on, the Silver Wolf Army was completely loyal to Søren and became the Suo family's army.
At the city gate, Yan Nair 'er, who had an impressive figure, looked at this scene with her eyes slightly red.
This, this might be the scene that she had dreamed of seeing.
...
Next, the Silver Wolf Army did not leave immediately. Instead, they cleaned up the battlefield.
There were armors, weapons, food, and warhorses everywhere.
The first thing they did was to collect the warhorses, then bury them in the pot and cook. After eating and drinking their fill, they even slept for a few hours to recover their energy.
At noon, these hundreds of Silver Wolf elites, each man and three horses, left the Ancient City of the Netherworld and returned to the Silver Wolf Army camp.
Along the way, Yan Yan had come into contact with at least eleven groups of messengers.
Ji Gang was dead, and the remaining eleven giants all came to ask for peace, mercy, and compromise.
Because after this big defeat, the fragile alliance of the eleven giants completely collapsed.
And the Silver Wolf Army, who won the final victory, became the most powerful force in Amano City. Moreover, Yan Yan had been resurrected.
From now on, no one could stop the Silver Wolf Army from covering the sky in Amano City, with the position of the governor and the city lord.
Unfortunately, these giants did not know that the Silver Wolf Army had decided to leave and was completely loyal to the Suo family.
Two days later, Yan Yan led the Silver Wolf elites and re-entered the army camp.
The camp of the Silver Wolf Army had been occupied, and all the Silver Wolf mercenaries stationed inside were disarmed.
After the coalition army was defeated, they hurriedly released all the Silver Wolf soldiers and gave up the camp again.
Therefore, the camp was still intact and fell into the hands of the Silver Wolf.
If Yan Nair had chosen to defend the camp that day instead of resolutely giving up and escaping into the desert. At this time, the Silver Wolf Army had long been destroyed, and the corpses had been rotten.
The first thing Søren did after returning to the army camp was to take out 100,000 gold coins worth of gold notes and give them to Yan Yan, asking him to recruit troops, buy horses, and buy ordnance and food.
Among these 100,000 gold notes, 80,000 were his own, and the other 20,000 were in the box of Xue Sha.
Seeing the 100,000 gold notes, Yan Yan was stunned. Søren had already lost Tianshui City, where did he get so much money?
Even he could not take out this amount of money. Moreover, the military expenses of the 50,000 coalition army this time were only a few hundred thousand gold coins, which were paid by the 12 giants and the Raging Wave Kingdom together.
"How many troops do you want to recruit?" Yan Yan asked.
"Twenty thousand." Søren said.
Yan Yan said, "Twenty thousand troops, a long journey of thousands of miles to Tianshui City, and a siege battle, I'm afraid 100,000 gold coins are not enough."
Then Yan Yan said, "We only recruit soldiers, not officers."
Søren understood what Yan Yan meant. What he wanted was not a motley crew, but an elite army.
All the officers were to be promoted from the Silver Wolf, and he needed an army that could be easily controlled.
What was a motley crew? In the battle in the Yellow Springs Ancient City, he had already seen it clearly.
Yan Yan said, "The warriors under me can only command 10,000 troops at most."
Søren said, "The Suo Family also has 100 warriors, all Great Swordsmen and Knights."
Yan Yan said, "Then recruit 15,000, I will send an invitation to the 11 giants of Skyfield City to negotiate, and strive to not have to pay a single gold coin, a stone of rations, or a warhorse."
That night, Yan Yan and Yan Nai 'er attended a round table negotiation in the wilderness.
Yan Yan proposed that the 11 giants of Skyfield City compensate the Silver Wolf Army 110,000 gold coins. Moreover, the Silver Wolf Army's share was increased from 20% to 40%.
This was completely asking for the lives of the other 11 giants. After several hours of negotiation, they finally agreed that the Silver Wolf Army would monopolize 30% of Skyfield City's profits, and the 11 giants would jointly compensate the Silver Wolf Army 30,000 gold coins.
30% of the profits was about 30,000 gold coins per year.
Just when everyone thought the negotiation was over, Yan Yan suddenly proposed to withdraw from Skyfield City, and was willing to auction off 30% of Skyfield City's annual profits, to the highest bidder.
This was like a heavy bomb, blowing everyone up.
In the end, this 30% was auctioned off for 120,000 gold coins, plus the previous compensation, Yan Yan had extorted a total of 150,000 gold coins from the 11 giants.
Then, he divided the 150,000 gold coins into two portions.
"I am willing to use these 50,000 gold coins to pledge loyalty to His Majesty, and use them to recruit soldiers and buy horses. As for these 100,000 gold coins, I want to keep them as Nai 'er's dowry. "
…
After that, the recruitment went very smoothly.
Not only did the other 11 giants not stop them, but they also cooperated completely, hoping that the Silver Wolf Army would leave as soon as possible.
In just three days, he had successfully gathered 12,000 mercenaries.
They were all soldiers, not a single officer, because all the officers had to be in their hands, and no one could infiltrate them.
They bought an astronomical amount of rations, bows, arrows, armor, and weapons.
They bought countless warhorses, mules, carriages, and so on.
Only Skyfield City could buy these astronomical amounts of resources, if it were any other place, no matter how big the city was, it would not be able to buy thousands of warhorses.
This was because this was a city of trade, a city of smuggling.
In the Yelan Principality, the Western Liang Kingdom, warhorses were the most commonly exported and smuggled goods every year.
Previously, the trade route had been blocked for a month, and countless resources were piled up near Skyfield City, these merchants were going crazy.
Now, Søren's 100,000 gold coins had wiped out the stocks of many caravans.
The army was really a gold-swallowing behemoth. After spending 100,000 gold coins, Søren had a fully armed army of 15,000 people.
It was hard to say whether they were elites or not.
But at least all the officers were elites who had been through hundreds of battles!
Ten days later, Søren and Yan Yan led the 15,000 troops out of Skyfield City, heading east along the southern border plains.
This place was more than 5,000 miles away from Tianshui City.
This army would continue to move east along the plains under the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and would not enter the Raging Wave Kingdom's territory, so the kingdom's army had no right to attack or stop them!
At this time, there were 39 days left until the time Søren agreed to quell the rebellion.
Leading an army of 15,000, trekking for more than 5,000 miles. To Søren, this was perhaps an unprecedented experience.
Seven days later, Søren's army advanced 1,500 miles.
Ten days later, Søren's army advanced 2,300 miles.
Fifteen days later, Søren's army advanced 3,500 miles.
Throughout the entire process, the army had been walking along the foot of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, at least a hundred miles away from the border of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Therefore, the kingdom's army watched from the sidelines, but did not attack.
Most of the Hundred Thousand Mountains were wandering warriors, and there were countless barbarians on the mountain.
However, facing 15,000 fully armed soldiers, whether it was the barbarians, the wandering warriors, or the bandits, they could only fight.
… ….
Søren's reputation once again spread throughout the entire Nu Lang Royal City.
Now, almost everyone knew that he had gathered more than 10,000 mercenaries from Skyfield City and traveled a long distance of more than 5,000 miles to Tianshui City to quell the rebellion.
At this time, there was another person who was famous in the Royal City, and that was Ling Ao.
Half a month ago, the five great academies of the human kingdom held an annual martial arts competition in the Yan Capital of the Yan Empire.
Ling Ao won the championship and became the number one young expert of the five great academies.
This was the best result obtained by the Raging Wave Kingdom in more than a decade, and Ling Ao became the pride of the entire kingdom.
When he returned from the Yan Capital, he was personally received and praised by His Majesty the King.
Immediately after, he graduated from the Royal City Academy with first place and became the attendant of Prince Zhi Li. For a while, he was in the limelight.
Almost countless nobles extended olive branches, trying to marry their daughters to him and take him in as a son-in-law.
However, in Ling Ao's heart, there was only one woman, and that was Gui Qinshao.
He had traveled through half of the human kingdom and had never seen a woman more beautiful than Gui Qinshao.
He felt that only a noble woman like Gui Qinshao, a peerlessly beautiful woman in this world, was worthy of a peerless genius like him.
Of course, he was actually still brooding over the fact that Gui Qinshao had once married to Søren. However, at that time, Gui Qinshao had humiliated Søren in the most thorough way, which comforted him.
Today, he had officially graduated from the Royal City Academy and become the attendant of Prince Zhi Li.
He felt that it was necessary to take the first step in his life and propose to Gui Qinshao.
As for the wedding, it would have to wait until he had made contributions and was conferred the title of Lord by the King.
At this time, Gui Qinshao and her mother were guests at the Turing family. She was too arrogant and looked down on others even in the Turing family. Therefore, she did not have a good relationship with the daughters of the Turing family.
Half a month ago, Tu Lingduo was injured by Søren's Radioactive Energy Arrow and had fainted. After receiving treatment from the Dragon Temple, her life was no longer in danger. However, she was still weak, so she was resting at home.
At this time, she was playing chess with Gui Qinshao.
"Miss, Young Master Ling Ao wants to see you." The maid outside reported, "He is holding flowers in his hand."
Tu Lingduo glanced at Gui Qinshao and said with a smile, "Cousin, someone is going to propose to you."
