In just ten days, Lan Ling had completely destroyed a third of the Sky Demon Flag's territory and massacred over a million tribes.
It could be said that Lan Ling had massacred all the armies within 300,000 square kilometers.
He had only relied on the 20,000 Centaurs. The Ghost King Empire's Skeleton Corps, which was still stationed in the outer seas, had not moved.
In these ten days of battle, the Centaurs had almost no casualties.
Why was it like this? With just 20,000 Centaurs, how could they be so undefeatable?
There were two reasons. First, it was because the Centaurs were just too strong.
Second, the main force of the Sky Demon Flag was not within the Sky Demon Flag's territory.
The Sky Demon Flag had two trump card armies, the Demon Leopard Army and the Ghost Ray Army.
In these ten days of battle, the Centaurs had not encountered the Demon Leopard Army or the Ghost Ray Army.
This was because a portion of the main force of the Sky Demon Flag had been sent to the Rakshasa border, while the other portion had been brought by Prince Gu Tu to Rakshasa City to kidnap the bride. The remaining portion had been defending the Sky Demon City, not daring to move.
In these ten days, or more accurately, seven days, Lan Ling had unleashed his blitzkrieg tactics to the extreme. He did not give the enemy any time to breathe. Therefore, the tribes in the Sky Demon Flag's territory did not even have the chance to gather their armies before they were destroyed one by one.
In these seven days, they had destroyed an average of six tribes every day, one tribe every four hours. This included the time they had to travel.
With such lightning speed, how could the enemy react and have the chance to gather their armies?
Therefore, every time the Centaurs faced a tribe, there were only a few tens of thousands of Rakshasa soldiers, and the main force might not even be there.
Moreover, they only slaughtered and did not occupy.
It was because of this that Lan Ling's 20,000 Centaurs could destroy a tribe every four hours.
At the end of the day, it was because the Centaur Army was too … too powerful.
If it were any other army, even elite cavalry, they wouldn't be able to travel more than a hundred miles in four hours, let alone annihilate a tribe of tens of thousands of people.
However, the Centaurs could cover a few hundred li every hour. They could crush their enemies without any resistance.
If it was any other elite cavalry, fighting for a day was already very impressive.
On the other hand, the Centaur Legion could fight for seven days and seven nights, traversing thousands of miles every day.
That was why the Centaur Legion was called the Whip of Destruction.
…
Eight days after the massacre, Lan Ling's Centaur Army stopped the massacre and set up camp to rest.
Only then did the Heavenly Devil City send out the Ghost Ray to inspect the territory after the war.
In the sky, the Ghost Ray Knights of the Heavenly Devil City were trembling in fear from the depths of their souls.
Because what they saw was ruins after ruins.
In a territory spanning more than a thousand miles, all the tribes were wiped out.
What was even more frightening was that before these tribes were destroyed, they all looked at the huge human heads.
These pyramids made of tens of thousands of human heads could be seen clearly even from thousands of meters up in the sky.
Lan Ling's Death Knights could have easily killed the Ghost Ray Knights of Heavenly Devil City.
However, he allowed the Ghost Ray Knights to patrol every tribe and every mile of land.
Two days and two nights later.
The patrolling Ghost Ray Knights returned to the Heavenly Devil City.
Every one of them was scared out of their wits. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were trembling.
At this moment, the witness to the Heavenly Devil City was Heavenly Devil Emperor's brother, the Master of the Heavenly Devil City, the Elder of the Heavenly Devil Flag, Elder Severed Blood!
Since Heavenly Devil Emperor, Lady Black Gauze, and Prince Gutu were not here, the Elder Severed Blood was the supreme leader of the Heavenly Devil Flag.
Although he was the younger brother, he looked even older than Heavenly Devil Emperor.
"Did you find out? Did that bastard Lan Ling send his troops into the Heavenly Devil Flag to destroy it? How many troops did he send? "the Elder Severed Blood asked.
Lan Ling's blitzkrieg was too fast.
Moreover, his Death Knights were too terrifying. That was why the tribes that had been destroyed could not even escape to the Heavenly Devil City to report. Even now, the Heavenly Devil City had no idea what had happened.
The leader of the Ghost Ray Knights knelt, trembling. His teeth were chattering. He wanted to say something, but he could not.
"Say it …" the Elder Severed Blood said, "Did that bastard Lan Ling really send his troops into the Heavenly Devil Flag's territory to retaliate?"
The Ghost Ray Knight said hoarsely, "Lan Ling led an army of tens of thousands of centaurs to invade the Heavenly Devil Flag's territory. He … he killed all forty-nine tribes and turned them into ruins. He used human heads to build fifty temples and cut off more than a million heads! One-third of the Heavenly Devil Flag's territory has been turned into a wasteland … "
When these words came out, the hall of the Heavenly Devil Castle fell into a deathly silence.
The Elder Severed Blood's body trembled. His eyes widened, and he fell on his seat. He said in a trembling voice, "He … he … he dared …"
After sitting on the chair, the Elder Severed Blood still felt dizzy, and his limbs were completely cold.
This matter had far exceeded the scope of his ability.
"Go to Rakshasa City, go to the Cloud Calamity Clan, go to the border camp … tell this news to Prince Gu Tu, tell Flag Master, tell His Majesty Rakshasa King …" Elder Severed Blood said hoarsely, "Also, gather the army and defend Heavenly Devil City with all our strength!"
"Yes!"
A moment later, a dozen Ghost Rays flew out of the Heavenly Devil City, toward the Cloud Disaster Tribe, Devil City, and the border of Devil City.
…
Devil City!
Meng Tuoluo and the Young Devil King had a deep conversation again.
"Husband, can you tell me the truth?" Meng Tuoluo said.
"Of course!" the Young Devil King said gently.
Meng Tuoluo said, "Why are you so protective of Lan Ling? I can't figure it out. "
The Young Devil King said, "We are like-minded."
Meng Tuoluo said, "Husband, you still don't believe me. You didn't tell me the truth. Is it just a kindred spirit? You've offended the Celestial Demon Clan and Elder Mokan for him. You've even indirectly caused you to lose your position as crown prince. Just a kindred spirit is really hard to convince. "
Young Luocha King said, "Beloved concubine, Lan Ling and I can only be described as like-minded."
Meng Tuoluo said, "Now, even if I advise you to cut off your relationship with Lan Ling and give up on him to cut your losses, you still won't agree, right?"
The Young Devil King said, "Beloved, you've been getting your priorities wrong all along. Be it Mokan, the Heavenly Devil Monarch, or the Netherworld Prince. They're not harming me because of Lan Ling, but Lan Ling is harming Lan Ling because of me. So, it's not whether I want to abandon Lan Ling, but whether Lan Ling wants to abandon me. Their target has always been me, not Lan Ling. "
Meng Tuoluo was stunned.
Then, she inexplicably felt a slight tremor in her heart.
Yes, this was the simplest reason.
Mokan, the Netherworld Prince, and the Heavenly Devil Clan's target had always been the Luosha Crown Prince, not Lan Ling. Lan Ling was just a fish in the moat. If he hadn't stood on the Young Devil King's side, he wouldn't have been in trouble.
Why couldn't she understand such a simple reason?
No, she definitely understood it, but why did she suggest for the Young Devil King to give up on Lan Ling?
It was definitely not to take revenge on Lan Ling, but for another reason.
The Young Devil King said, "Beloved, there are three kinds of people in this world. The first kind are short-sighted and only see the benefits in front of them. We describe this kind of people as short-sighted. The second kind can see further. They can see hundreds or thousands of meters. They can see as far as the limit of their eyesight. The third kind is far-sighted and can see very far, beyond the limit of their eyesight. Which kind of people do you think will have the most tragic end? "
Meng Tuoluo said, "Of course it's the first kind, the short-sighted."
The Young Devil King said, "No, although the first kind is short-sighted and only cares about the small benefits in front of them, they can see very carefully. However, they looked extremely carefully. Even though they were narrow-minded, they were still able to fill their own stomachs. Moreover, they could see the trap beneath their feet, so there wouldn't be a great disaster. The third kind is the far-sighted. The places they see have already surpassed the limit of their eyesight, so they use their heart and spirit to explore. The most tragic is the second kind. They always stare at the limit of their eyesight. In this way, they can't see through the foggy future, and they don't care about the road under their feet. So they often step in the wrong direction and are doomed eternally! "
The Young Devil King's words were far sharper than Lan Ling's. They penetrated deep into the bones and immediately pierced through the root of Meng Tuoluo's tragedy.
His first tragedy was to give up on his fiancé and choose Ji Mengbai.
It was a classic example of not seeing through the future, but ignoring what was in front of them, trying to grasp the limit of what their eyesight could reach. And at that time, Ji Mengbai was the limit of what her eyesight could reach.
The second choice was the same.
His promise to Lan Ling was the present, Lan Ling's identity as the Demon Emperor was the future, and the powerful Princess Na Xue and the powerful Devil Kingdom were the limit of her eyesight.
So, she once again abandoned what was in front of her, and once again grasped the limit of what her eyesight could reach.
The Young Devil King's words almost made Meng Tuoluo's soul tremble. She immediately denied it with all her might. She was flustered and exasperated, and endless hatred and hostility surged in her.
Instantly, she smiled and said, "Then should the Crown Prince and Lan Ling be considered the first kind of short-sighted, or the third kind of far-sighted?"
The Young Devil King said, "Of course it's the third kind of far-sighted."
Meng Tuoluo smiled and said, "One can't even protect his wife, and his body will be smashed to pieces in front of him. The other can't even protect what is in front of him now, so how can he protect the future? Isn't his foresight a little too high? "
After saying that, she looked at the Young Devil King arrogantly, not afraid of death at all.
That's right, Meng Tuoluo was not afraid of death at all. Even if the Young Devil King killed her with one palm strike, she would not beg for mercy.
At this time, the short-sighted would kneel and beg for mercy, while the far-sighted would play it down. Only the second kind of people wanted both benefits and dignity.
"Hehe …" The Young Devil King smiled, then closed his eyes and entered meditation.
At this moment, a shadow warrior's report came from outside.
"Crown Prince Gu Tu is here to visit!"
…
"Greetings to the Crown Prince, greetings to the Princess!" Crown Prince Gu Tu bowed meticulously.
Meanwhile, Elder Mo Kan stood quietly behind him. He had completely fallen out with the Young Devil King, and he did not even bother to put on an act anymore.
The Young Devil King said, "You have surrounded my residence for more than ten days, and today is the first time you have come to see me. What's the matter?"
Crown Prince Gu Tu took out a scroll of crystal paper and said, "The Devil King has a decree."
The Young Devil King stood up to receive the decree, but he had no intention of kneeling.
"Princess Sha Yan will immediately follow Gu Tu to Heavenly Demon City to get married. Do not delay the auspicious time, and no one is to obstruct you. End of Imperial Decree!"
After reading the decree, Crown Prince Gu Tu said coldly, "Your Highness, His Majesty's decree is very clear. No one is to obstruct us, including you. Therefore, I will be taking Princess Sha Yan away. Do not delay the auspicious time. "
The Young Devil King said, "The so-called auspicious time should be before the war breaks out."
Currently, the border between the Rakshasa Race and the Heavenly Demon Race was extremely tense, and the dark clouds of war had already gathered to the extreme.
Everyone was certain that the war would definitely break out within half a month.
Moreover, Heavenly Demon King was the vanguard general. To make him feel at ease, the Devil King gave the decree for Crown Prince Gu Tu to bring Princess Sha Yan to get married, so that the marriage could be settled. If it was dragged out until the war broke out, then nothing could be done.
Crown Prince Gu Tu said, "For the sake of my lifelong happiness, His Majesty has sent his Rakshasa personal guards, a total of 39 people. I have brought them into the Crown Prince's residence. My wife, Princess Sha Yan, has been bothering you for too long, so I will be taking her away now."
When Crown Prince Gu Tu and Elder Mo Kan saw that the Crown Prince was under house arrest, they seemed to be unable to recover from the setback and did not put up any resistance. Therefore, they pushed their luck and actually tried to enter the Crown Prince's residence by force, snatching Princess Sha Yan away from the Young Devil King's eyes.
They were really unforgiving after gaining the upper hand, pressing forward step by step!
At this moment, Meng Tuoluo let out a cold laugh. If the Young Devil King had listened to him earlier, abandoned Lan Ling, and handed over Princess Sha Yan, would they have been humiliated today?
The Young Devil King said, "Gu Tu, what you mean is that you want to snatch Sha Yan away in front of me, trample on my face and snatch Princess Sha Yan, is that right?"
"I am following His Majesty's decree. If you want to think so, you can …" Crown Prince Gu Tu said coldly, "If you think so, then so be it …"
"It is said that a tiger will be bullied by dogs when it falls to the plains. I, this fierce tiger, haven't fallen to the plains yet, and you guys are already so impatient?" The Young Devil King said.
Elder Mo Kan said coldly, "You have only yourself to blame."
The Young Devil King said, "There is one question that I don't understand. You guys want to snatch Princess Sha Yan away so unscrupulously, but she is still Lan Ling's wife. Aren't you afraid of Lan Ling's revenge?"
"Lan Ling? That pretentious bastard who is close to the human race? " Crown Prince Gu Tu said, "A lowly trash who almost castrated me alive and fled like a stray dog? He wants to take revenge on me? Hahahaha … Your Highness, you think too highly of your dog. He is currently hiding in his kennel and shivering. In my eyes, he is just a pig waiting to be slaughtered. He wants to take revenge on me? Hahaha … Desolate world's biggest joke! "
At this moment!
The Sky Demon Flag Elder rushed in and suddenly knelt in front of Crown Prince Gu Tu. He said in a trembling voice, "Crown Prince, bad news, bad news! The Flame Demon Flag Master, Lan Ling, has led his army to invade our Sky Demon Flag territory. He has wiped out our forty-nine tribes and slaughtered our three hundred thousand square kilometers of territory. He has chopped off more than a million heads and piled them up like a fortress! "
