665 Seven day battle (1/2)

”How should we deal with these people outside?”

His tone was calm but filled with an icy coldness.

Hu Qianqiu jumped onto the stone wall and then viciously shouted.

”What can we do, old rules! Didn't Ruler say that it is best those people have no way out, we can't be careless...”

Chai Zhou knew that would be the answer as he smiled, instructing the few Generals behind him.

Moments later, a huge number of troops were chased out of the city.

They didn't wear the red armor of Gantian Mountain but the pure black of Great Shang. Thousands of people were chased out to kill those Night Demons on the battlefield who still had some life left.

Fifty to Sixty people sliced together, cutting them up into meat paste.

Just at this moment, within the giant black mist, several angry shouts broke out. Sharp killing intent surged through the sky.

Hu Zhongyuan laughed coldly and didn't care at all. He waiting quietly for a moment. Seeing that there wasn't any movement opposite, he shook his head in disappointment, ”It seems like the matter today has ended! Those timid things!”

In the past, when they chased out the surrendered troops to slay these injured Night Demons, the enemy forces would often strike out braving the daylight.

This was the situation he loved to see. During that moment, they would be able to cause heavy casualties to the Night Demons.

However, in the recent two months such good things rarely happened.

Sighing, Hu Zhongyuan looked back at the damaged castle beneath him.

The defensive Spiritual Formations were already mostly destroyed. The stone castles were also mostly leveled out by the siege weapons of the Night Demon Race.

If they were determined to defend, they could still hold out for half a day. However, if they continued to remain here in the night, they would be just asking to die.

”Prepare to abandon the castle! Let the Spirit Masters level this place out.”

Although it was a nearly destroyed structure, it would still be problematic if it fell into the hands of those Night Demons.

Chai Zhou's pupils constricted as he looked behind. At this moment, only around 300 stone castles remained. They were spread out on a close to hundred-mile long battle line, split into three lines as they locked the bottom part of Seven Cloud Mountain.

Every two days, the Night Demons would break one defensive line.

If they continued on one line every two days, within six days they would be beneath Seven Cloud Mountain!

”That was what Kong Yao said! She said our lives were more valuable...”

Hu Zhongyuan acknowledged, he still wasn't used to calling her Left Army Inspector.

However, after many months of battles, deep inside, he already recognized her ability.

With such an army to be able to maintain such a situation, even if Qiuwei was here, he might not be able to do so.

If he was the one leading, they would have been crushed long ago.

He originally thought that the Ruler was charmed by beauty, who knew that she indeed had some skill.

He looked opposite, at those Night Demons who lost 200,000, but had caused them to lose close to 1,000,000.

Hu Zhongyuan's eyes were filled with loss.

Where was their chance of winning in this battle?

He asked right as he thought about it, instinctively blurting it out.

”Chai Zhou what do you think are our chances of winning?”

Actually, in his heart he didn't have high hopes of winning. He only wanted to chase them away and he would be satisfied.

Chai Zhou was startled when he heard this. Hu Zhongyuan was the Left Wing General and saying these words would shake the confidence of the army.

Momentarily he broke out into a laugh, ”Six days later we will just fight to the death! Even if we die, I will pull a few of them along with me. As long as Ruler survives, our Gantian Mountain is still stable...”

The few Generals beside stood on the spot straight as spears, their eyes didn't shine when they heard that.

Hu Zhongyuan was stunned, he then laughed out loud, ”That's right! This time let's just go all out and drag some Night Demons down with us! What do we have to worry about as long as Ruler is alive? If I can return safely I won't argue with your Chai Family about that Xuan Star Bamboo Arrow!”

When Chai Zhou heard this, he didn't feel grateful, instead scolding out, ”Who wants you to let us? The arrow business, my Chai Family will give it up...”

The Xuan Star Bamboo Arrow was a spiritual arrow that Gantian Mountain crafted. However, the current Gantian Mountain used more advanced equipment and the military stopped using them. Even the people didn't buy many of them.

This was why his Chai Family didn't care much about it.

Hu Zhongyuan laughed and didn't reply, still squinting as he looked at the black mist.

He still had six to seven days to live...

At that moment, he had an urge to become totally drunk.
