663 Before the final battle (2/2)
Jia Mingluo's breathing instantly got heavier. This time they brought 10 years worth into the Cloud World, who knew they would be lost in the World River.
He didn't care much, he just needed to pillage around in the Cloud World.
Who knew that his army would be blocked in front of these bunch of mountains. Within 10,000 miles there was no one and no food they could eat.
His army was already relying on hunting beasts for food.
However as time went on, within 1,000 miles there were no birds nor beasts.
That was because they didn't have enough manpower to hunt! Although Zong Shou had increasingly fewer troops, he had the ability to counterattack. Like a spring, the stronger one pressed down the stronger the recoil. Even when they used a million Night Demons to attack, they couldn't succeed.
The matter that he didn't care about at first became the biggest cause of their defeat!
”You are asking to die!”
He knew that there was no point in speaking more. Jia Mingluo scoffed coldly, waving his sleeves and leaving.
Before he left he took a deep look at the blood-colored cavalry below.
As long as they appeared on the battlefield they would be invincible.
There were close to 10 Spirit Realm experts who followed him in. However, they were all suppressed by this army.
...Without these experts, just one cavalry army could crush hundreds of thousands of Night Demons.
There was also an unparalleled formation charger who grasped the situation so sharply.
He set several traps to try to kill them but the Blood Cloud Cavalry broke it easily.
In front of the cavalry was a young general holding a huge halberd looking upward, his eyes filled with disdain.
Although Jia Mingluo didn't bother, he felt rage consuming him. He suppressed the killing intent, waving his wings and flying toward the retreating army.
”Within 10 days I will break this mountain! I will see if the Ruler can still laugh then!”
Zong Shou was speechless. This fellow said such words after every battle. Again?
However, in his heart it felt much heavier. He could hear the unprecedented determination in his voice.
He really forced him into a corner. In the past, he was afraid of losses which was why he didn't go all out.
At this moment, if they didn't risk their lives they would lose. Once this Night Demon army's full strength exploded forward, they would be hugely powerful.
He frowned. However, in the next moment he had an idea.
Reaching out, a ball of white energy suddenly appeared in his hands. It was a threatening aura like it gathered the thoughts of tens of millions.
This was the strength of the King Path!
Only at this moment, it was much stronger than just now during his battle with Prince Jia Mingluo.
Without needing to think, he knew that there was a breakthrough on the side of Zong Gang and Jia Mingluo.
So quick!
He remembered that during the battle report yesterday they said they were still at a standstill with the 2,000,000 to the west.
How did they already break through so quickly?
The King Path Martial Arts was a gathering of the strength of a country. With that, this entire Huizhou was under his rule? There was no more resistance?
He wasn't that joyous. Although he won, he wouldn't gain much from here.
How could they easily rush back from 10,000 miles away? Even if they returned, there would be a bunch of exhausted troops.
At most it would make the battle a little easier.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou flew down and returned back to his Commander tent.
It was built on the mountain peak and could look out a 1,000 miles all around, only to see that the battlefield was in a tragic state.
There were no trees and plants left, only a white land remained.
There were numerous stone walls below and thousands of stone pillars above.
These were what Kong Yao ordered for the surrounding people along with those eight million surviving elites, to spend a month and a half to build.
As Night Demons had wings, these stone castles weren't too tall and the top layer was also not strongly sealed.
It wasn't to block enemies but to cover Spiritual Formations.
In addition, there were also numerous areas dug up around the Seven Cloud Mountain and crossbows were set up.
Looking out, the stone walls that were built were mostly collapsed.
A small portion of the thousands of stone castles were broken through and leveled to flat land.
Zong Shou was silent. If they fought on, there was really no place for them to defend...
