Chapter 325: Chased down
The Demonic Wolf riders hated Dongfang Zhan to death since this fellow killed many of their War Hounds warriors.Even in that situation just now, he still killed three-four thousand Demonic Wolf Cavalry!
“Tear him to shreds!”
The Demonic Wolf riders wanted their Demonic Wolves to rip Dongfang Zhan’s corpse to shreds to vent their anger.
“Enough, stop!”The Fang King coldly shouted, “The War Hounds respect true warriors and a warrior needs to be treated like a warrior.Even if they are our enemies, we still need to properly preserve their corpses. Once the fight is over, we’ll bury him in the Southern Summer land with my family’s highest honours.”
“Yes!”
The Fang King had a supreme position in the War Hounds Tribe, there was no one that dared disobey his orders.
The slaughter on the battlefield subsided as the Southern Summer’s frontline army was completely defeated.There were several tens of thousands of people running away from this battle that could no longer be saved.
The War Hounds did not keep any prisoners.Of the six hundred thousand troops on the great wall, around four-five hundred thousand of them had died and the remainder had run away.The War Hounds army had lost two-three hundred thousand people, but they were from the united army and the main force of the Demonic Wolf Cavalry were preserved.
“First organize teams to chase down the Southern Summer soldiers that escaped!”The Fang King did not want to easily let any Southern Summer soldiers escape, “The others will repair and clean up the battlefield.Prepare as fast as you can to continue fighting.”
The Southern Summer citizens had received endless victory reports that they never would have thought that such a sad event would happen in a single night.After the frontline fortress was broken through, there was no other barriers to Imperial City. If this terrifying army was to continue forward, they would be able to attack an Imperial City that was not prepared at all.
The two hundred thousand cavalry had already been sent to Cang State, it was impossible for them to return in just a few days.With the five hundred thousand soldiers of Imperial City, although they had over a thousand royal griffin knights and the Three Great Clans’ elite troops, faced with the War Hounds army’s sudden attack, it would be hard to resist.
The Fang King sent out several thousand people to chase down soldiers and then began to reorganize his army.This battle had consumed quite a bit of resources and they couldn’t attack Imperial City right now.
But there was enough time.
The two days worth of time would not change anything, the Calm Martial Ruler and the two hundred thousand cavalry cannot come back in time.The Fang King was not afraid of a sneak attack from the Southern Summer Country. At minimum five days, at most ten days, when the Fang King took Imperial City, it would be no use even if the Calm Martial Ruler and the four hundred thousand cavalry rushed back from Cang State.
“Big brother!”
Malim brought Wang Tianlong as he jumped over the ruins, landing like two illusory figures in front of the Fang King.Malim’s armour was shattered at this moment and he looked like he suffered serious injuries.
“Malim, your performance has made me very disappointed!”The Fang King seemed to be filled with anger, “I wanted you to capture the fortress from within, but you couldn’t complete this job!Because of your failures, the War Hounds army lost over a hundred thousand warriors and even three thousand Demonic Wolf Cavalry!”
Malim had a face of shame, “The Southern Summer King wanted to perish together with me.Although I dodged his attacks by luck, I suffered quite a bit of injuries. I had to stabilize my condition because of this, so I couldn’t complete the mission on time.I ask for big brother’s forgiveness!”
The Fang King knit his brows, “I don’t need your excuses, what I want are results.Since you failed your mission, you will be punished!”
Malim steeled his heart and pulled out his black blade, suddenly slashing at his left arm.
Wang Tianlong was shocked.It was only a single mistake and he was being punished with losing an arm?
Dang!
A golden drum blocked the black blade.
The Fang King coldly said, “You killing the Southern Summer King is considered a great merit, so you will remember this error.The war is not over yet and you still need this left arm, waiting until the battle is over to cut it off is not too late!”
“Yes!”
“Where’s Chu Tian?Why can’t I see his corpse!”Wang Tianlong said, “That person can block a million soldiers by himself, we’ll see no end of troubles if we let him go!”
The Fang King knit his brows, “What does this mean?”
Malim explained, “There is a human youth, although he does not have any fame, he does have an extraordinary strength.”
“Since it’s like this, I’ll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes.”The Fang King gave a whistle and a giant blue bird appeared above them, “This is a Thunder Hawk, it has double the speed of the human’s griffin.You will use this beast to chase them, even if you can’t catch them, you can’t let them live.
“Yes!”Malim waved his hand at Wang Tianlong and the people beside him, “Come with me!”
Malim rode on the Thunder Hawk while the others rode on the vultures.They left the frontline fortress and began to chase after Chu Tian’s group.
These flying beasts were very fast and the War Hounds were originally good trackers.It was very easy for them to find their aura, so it wasn’t hard for them to catch up.
Malim chased for an hour before he sensed their aura, but the other side knew that they were being pursued, so they already split up the party and went in different directions.
“Their auras have dispersed, so we will disperse as well!”Malim ordered the others, “I’ll chase Chu Tian and you can chase the rest.”
“Understood!”
Malim and the others split up to chase.
…………
Ten minutes ago, Chu Tian, Gu Qianqiu, Meng Qingwu, and the remaining royal knights were heading for Imperial City.Even with the defeat at the frontline fortress, as long as Imperial City did not fall, there was a chance of making a comeback.
At this time, the little fox was holding the divine eyeball in its paws while looking around.It suddenly gave a few anxious gestures to Chu Tian.
“We’re in for some trouble. The War Hounds have sent out at least several thousand people to chase and there are a few that have caught up to us.”Chu Tian said to the others, “Their speed is very quick and we are too big of a target, so it will be hard to escape. We can only split up to move and try our luck, in short we might be able to report back to Imperial City as soon as possible.”
Gu Qianqiu gritted his teeth, but they could only do it like this.
“I’ll be in a group with the young miss, you can all take care of yourselves!”
Gu Qianqiu had a severe injury and would not be able to protect Chu Tian if he followed him.It was better to split up the large target and let the War Hounds Tribe unable to find them.
