In the past month of war, both Tigné and Na Xue had mobilized more than ten million troops.
However, after the war, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Within the defense line of Cloud Disaster Kingdom, Tigné only had four million troops left, while Na Xue only had five million troops left.
Even though Na Xue had more troops than Tigné, they were not as powerful as Na Xue, especially the powerhouses above the master level. Overall, Na Xue only had 70% of Tigné's power.
However, after the Heaven Killer King and Tigné fell out, the Ground Killer King betrayed Princess Tigné along with the Heaven Killer King and retreated the three million troops.
As a result, Tigné's army in Cloud Disaster Kingdom was only a million.
Of this one million army, 700,000 were the Witch Country's warriors, 110,000 were the Winged Clan's warriors, and the remaining 200,000 were captives from the three great barbarian clans and the Earth Slaughter Clan. These elite warriors had volunteered to follow Emperor Nirvana and didn't retreat with the Heaven Slaughter King or the Earth Slaughter King.
The Heaven Killer King and the Ground Killer King retreated 70% of their troops. However, in terms of power, they only made up 50% of the original Tigné army.
At this moment, the army of a million soldiers in Cloud Disaster Royal City was the most elite force.
Among the eight demon tribes in the southern wilderness, the Heaven Killer Tribe had 20 powerhouses above the Demon Sage level, the Ground Killer Tribe had 10, and the Rakshasa Tribe had seven.
The tribe with the most Demon Sages wasn't the Heaven Killer Tribe, but the Witch Kingdom, a nation floating in the sky. It was the tribe closest to the ancient demon's bloodline. As they relied on the Gods And Demons to reproduce, they lost the least amount of bloodline energy.
Although the population of the Witch Kingdom was less than two million, they had a shocking 43 Demon Sages.
On the other hand, the Winged Race only had a population of a few hundred thousand. However, these hundred thousand or so were the most elite forces. They had fought against the Demon Kingdom in the Northern Wilderness for decades. Although the entire Winged Race did not have a King Arthur level powerhouse, as the race that was the second closest to the Ancient Demons, the Winged Race still had more than 14 Demon Saints.
Including the four Demon Saints from the Groundhog Tribe who were willing to follow Tigné, the number of Demon Saints who were absolutely loyal to Tigné had reached an astonishing sixty-one.
Unfortunately, 18 Great Demon Sages on Tigné's side had died in the battle over the past month. Among them, three were from the Sky Sha Tribe. The number of Great Demon Sages who were loyal to Tigné had reached 15. Therefore, there were only 46 Great Demon Sages left by Tigné's side.
Therefore, among Tigné's million-strong army, there were two King Arthur -level powerhouses, 46 Demon Saint-level powerhouses, 1,000 Demon Lords, 20,000 Demon Grandmasters, and 300,000 Demon Martial Masters.
Although it was only a million-strong army, this force was more than a few times that of Lan Ling's Balrog Empire.
In the battle over the past month, the Na Xue Army had suffered even more casualties. They had lost 23 Great Demon Sages and 600 Demon Lords.
Now, the Na Xue Army had two King Arthur -level powerhouses, 62 Demon Lords, 1,500 Demon Lords, 29,000 Demon Grandmasters, and more than 500,000 Demon Martial Masters.
The Heaven Sha King and the Ground Sha King also had two King Arthur -level powerhouses, 22 Great Demon Saints, 1,000 Demon Lords, 20,000 Demon Lords, and more than 200,000 Demon Martial Masters.
Now, the armies of Na Xue and the Heaven Sha King surrounded Tigné from the south and north respectively. There were nine million of them, while Tigné only had one million.
Na Xue and the Heaven Sha King had four King Arthur -level powerhouses, while Na Xue only had two.
In the allied army of Na Xue and the Heaven Sha King, there were 84 Demon Saint-level powerhouses, while Tigné only had 46.
In the allied army of Na Xue and the Heaven Sha King, there were 2,500 Demon Saint-level powerhouses, while Tigné only had 1,000.
In short, in terms of top-notch martial arts strength, Tigné only had 40% of her opponent's. In terms of the number of troops, Tigné only had one-tenth of her opponent's.
Therefore, in terms of absolute strength, it should be three to seven!
Moreover, this was the Cloud Disaster Kingdom, not the Witch Kingdom. There were no energy formations, so they would definitely lose this battle.
…
After the two armies of Na Xue and the Heaven Sha King had finished setting up a pincer attack on Tigné from the south and the north, the two sides had a new meeting.
"Because of our alliance, Tigné and Lan Ling might merge ahead of time," the Heaven Sha King said, "In this case, Tigné might change her strategy from a decisive battle to a breakout."
Na Xue frowned and said, "The Flame Demon Empire has a kind of energy formation, although it relies on cultivators to provide energy for attacks. Although it relies on martial artists to provide energy for attacks, Tigné's top-notch martial arts strength is too shocking. Once Tigné's top-notch martial arts army enters the Balrog Empire, then Lan Ling's energy formation will have a shocking combat power. "
The Heaven Sha King said, "Therefore, we have to kill Tigné in this battle. We can't let her break out of the encirclement, and we can't let Tigné and Lan Ling merge ahead of time. That will be a huge problem."
Na Xue said, "Yes, we have to kill Tigné. We can't let her break out of the encirclement, and we can't let her merge with Lan Ling!"
In order to increase the trust between the two sides, the two sides adjusted the temporary alliance.
The Heaven Sha King became the commander of the Heaven Sha Army again. He was of the same rank as Princess Na Xue, and they would work together. Not only that, Na Xue sent Di Ming to the Heaven Sha King's army, and the Heaven Sha King sent the Heaven Sha Crown Prince to Na Xue's army. This was considered a hostage exchange.
After the hostage exchange, the two armies started to change their formation. From a pincer attack from the north and south, it became an encirclement from the east, south, west, and west.
The two armies gradually closed the encirclement. Fourteen hours later.
After the encirclement was complete, nine million soldiers from both armies surrounded the Cloud Disaster Imperial City.
Not only that, the Heaven Sha King ordered the Heaven Sha Race to increase the number of soldiers on the encirclement, and Na Xue also ordered the headquarters fortress to continue sending more soldiers.
Both sides kept sending more soldiers, continuously strengthening the encirclement around Tigné. The entire Cloud Disaster Imperial City was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out.
From the ground, underground, to the sky, they surrounded them from all directions. They had to kill all of them, not letting Tigné break out of the encirclement, and not letting her merge with Lan Ling's Balrog Empire.
…
Fire Demon City!
"Are you the emperor of the Balrog Empire, Lan Ling?" the Dragon Temple's Heaven High Priest Substitute Hui Gu asked.
The moment he saw Lan Ling, he frowned slightly. This was because he could clearly feel that Lan Ling's cultivation had improved tremendously. However, it was faintly discernible, and he couldn't see it clearly.
The Dragon Temple was using Lan Ling as a pig to attract the remaining Hell Knights.
This was because, to the Dragon Temple, the so-called Demon Emperor candidate wasn't the greatest threat. The remaining nine Hell Knights were.
The Demon Emperor candidate was like a leek. Once it was cut off, it would grow again. As for the Hell Knights that were eliminated, there would be one less. If all the Hell Knights died, the Demon Emperor candidate would pose no threat at all. They could completely eliminate him before he could grow.
Just like now, if the Dragon Temple blew a breath, Lan Ling would die a hundred times, and his Balrog Empire would collapse like a kingdom of building blocks.
However, seeing Lan Ling again, Hui Gu was slightly shaken. This was because Lan Ling had grown too quickly. He couldn't let a pig grow into a ferocious tiger.
"I am!" Lan Ling said.
The substitute Heaven High Priest Hui Gu said, "Hand over Ji Soo-ning!"
He had personally killed Ji Soo-ning and then framed Lan Ling. However, when he went back a few days later, he discovered that Ji Soo-ning's corpse had disappeared. However, the killer, Lan Ling, was still there and hadn't been destroyed.
Lan Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "You … what are you talking about?"
Whether it was Lan Ling's expression or spiritual fluctuations, there were no flaws.
The Dragon Temple's substitute Heaven High Priest's spiritual power was extremely astonishing. Almost no one could lie in front of him.
However … those whose spiritual power surpassed his could. For example, Lan Ling!
Hui Gu took out the stone tablet and smashed it in front of Lan Ling, saying, "How do you explain this stone tablet?"
Seeing this stone tablet, Lan Ling's eyes suddenly shrank. He said, "The handwriting is exactly the same as mine. You … want to frame me? You want Ji Soo-ning's mentor and family to kill me? There is no reason … "
Hui Gu still couldn't see any flaws.
"Your Excellency Lan Ling, at least for now, my Dragon Temple and your Balrog Empire are like well water and river water, minding our own business. I hope you don't break this silence. If you hand over Ji Soo-ning now, then nothing will happen. Otherwise … the next time I come, it won't be me alone, but the Dragon Temple's powerful army. "Hui Gu coldly said.
"Send the guest off!" Lan Ling coldly said.
Then, he directly swaggered off!
… …
"Did the trial go smoothly?" The Tang person asked.
"It went smoothly, but it's unforgettable!" Lan Ling said.
The Tang person bowed and said, "Congratulations Your Majesty on breaking through to King Arthur. Now, your cultivation is finally the best in the entire Balrog Empire. It is also justifiable for you to lead us."
Lan Ling said, "The most important thing is that I can bestow a large amount of Demon Venerable energy. I can even help people break through to Demon Saint, greatly increasing the strength of the Balrog Empire."
Soran said, "I just received news yesterday morning that the battle on Princess Tigné's side is going very smoothly. If there are no accidents, the final battle will take place in a few days. She will completely defeat or even eliminate Na Xue's Blood-sucking Demon Clan!"
"That's good …" Lan Ling said, "Once Na Xue is defeated, King Tian Sha is no longer a threat. Tigné can even break off relations with him and merge with the Balrog Empire in advance."
Lan Ling had successfully broken through to King Arthur, and Tigné was very close to defeating Na Xue. The situation was really good. However, for some reason, there was always a haze in Lan Ling's heart.
The Tang person also frowned and wanted to say something, but stopped.
"What do you want to say?" Lan Ling asked.
The Tang person said, "I think King Tian Sha will definitely not let go of this crucial moment. He will definitely blackmail Princess Tigné!"
At that moment, Gou Li's voice rang in Lan Ling's mind. "Master, the situation has changed drastically. King Tian Sha has broken off relations with Princess Tigné in advance. He has formed an alliance with Na Xue. The two of them have nine million troops and are surrounding Princess Tigné. "
Lan Ling had been sending observers on the battlefield, but the battle was too intense.
As a result, the three Death Warrior observers from the Balrog Empire had died on the battlefield.
Left with no choice, the Balrog Empire sent Gou Li to observe from a place 100 miles away from the battlefield. If necessary, she would enter Cloud Disaster Royal City to communicate directly with Princess Tigné.
However, as soon as Gou Li arrived at the battlefield, there was such a shocking and terrible news.
Lan Ling's expression changed involuntarily. The worst thing had really happened.
Some things were really inevitable. For example, King Tian Sha would definitely blackmail Tigné at the most crucial moment and force her to marry the Crown Prince of Tian Sha. And Tigné would definitely reject him. Therefore, the early breaking of relations between the two seemed accidental, but in fact, it was inevitable.
Personality really determined one's fate!
Lan Ling said, "Gou Li, where are you now?"
Gou Li said, "When I arrived at the battlefield, the Na Xue army and King Tian Sha's army were surrounding me. I didn't care about hiding my tracks and immediately entered Cloud Disaster Royal City at full speed. I was chased by Na Xue's Death Warriors. It was Princess Tigné who saved me and brought me to Cloud Disaster Royal City. "
Lan Ling said, "Have they already surrounded you?"
Gou Li said, "Yes, they've already surrounded you. Not even a drop of water can escape. They've surrounded you from the air, on the ground, and underground. "
Lan Ling said, "How are the strengths of the two sides?"
Gou Li said, "The top martial arts armies are four to ten. Princess Tigné has four, and the other side has ten. The ratio of the armies is one to nine! "
Then they would definitely lose this battle!
The key was that the Witch Kingdom's warriors and the Winged Clan's warriors were the most loyal descendants of the Demon Emperor. They were the seeds of Lan Ling's Demon Empire.
Lan Ling wouldn't be able to bear it even if more than half of them died, let alone being completely annihilated.
Gou Li said, "Princess Tigné's plan is for all the top martial arts armies to continue resting. When their bloodline energy recovers to its peak, they will attack with all their might to tear a hole in the encirclement. Then, they will break through the encirclement and retreat to the Balrog Empire!"
Lan Ling said, "How many people will die if they do that?"
Gou Li was silent for a while and said, "I don't know. It should be a lot. Although Princess Tigné didn't say it, I can tell what she's thinking. She thinks that whether it's the Heaven Killer King or Princess Na Xue, their target is her, Tigné. So, she plans to stay on the battlefield to attract Na Xue and the Heaven Killer King's main forces so that the Demon Queen can break through the encirclement! "
Lan Ling was so sad that he couldn't breathe. He said, "In other words, Tigné plans to sacrifice herself in exchange for the Demon Queen and the others to break through the encirclement?"
Gou Li said, "Yes. She thinks that today's situation is all because of her."
"Silly girl, a big-breasted, brainless silly girl!" Lan Ling's heart ached and he couldn't help but blurt out.
Whether it was Yan Nai 'er, Yan Shuang, or Tigné who became an ancient witch, she was a big-breasted, brainless silly girl. They were all silly girls who only knew how to sacrifice themselves for others.
Lan Ling said coldly, "Death Warriors, assemble and head to the Cloud Disaster Kingdom to save Tigné and the Demon Queen!"
At that moment, the Mirror Demon King's voice sounded, "Master, someone is visiting!"
"No, no, no …" Lan Ling said.
"It's a King Arthur -level elite!" The Mirror Demon King said.
Lan Ling frowned. Someone from the Dragon Temple came again?
"Throw him out …" Lan Ling said.
Anyway, even if the Dragon Temple suspected Lan Ling of kidnapping Ji Soo-ning, they couldn't do anything to Lan Ling. The Hell Knight didn't appear, so no one could kill Lan Ling. Whoever did would be the eternal sinner of the Dragon Temple.
At that moment, a carefree voice sounded outside the Flame Demon City.
"Jiang Xue from the East Li Kingdom is here to pay a visit to Sir Lan Ling!"
Jiang Xue? The King Arthur -level Jiang Xue? The Jiang Xue who had a short contact with Søren in Blood Shore Maze City?
The King Dong Li Jiang Shang said that she was missing. She actually came to the Flame Demon City?
