1179 Fury! (1/2)
Before this, Jun Mo Xie had already overestimated the strange races to be the worst imaginable! But he still did not imagine that this battle would be this dreadful!
The moment the war began, Tian Fa lost eight Saint Venerables, an Eagle King, three thousand Eagle warriors and two thousand Bear warriors!
In just over four hours, it was such a hefty price!
In terms of strength, all of the soldiers had a Heaven Reversal Pill that would allow them to recover from any sort of injury! In other words, that was an extra life! But ultimately, not even a sixth of the men remained!
Then, how much time could they stall, even if the entire Tian Fa Forest deployed their elites?
Since the strange races were this powerful, then how did the three Holy and one Ferocious Lands managed to win all the previous War for Seizing the Heavens?
Jun Mo Xie had stimulated his plans using the previous War for Seizing the Heavens as reference. Saints would be able to partake in the War for Seizing the Heavens; Saint Emperors were the main power for winning; the Saint Venerables were the high level forces.
Jun Mo Xie had understood it this way for the whole time!
But from the looks of it, it seemed as if there wasn a flaw in his comprehension!
But from what Gu Han and the rest said, it seemed to be this case, ah. At most, there will be another battle between those of the higher levels, but there will definitely not be more than a few people.
”Xue Yan, where is the old battleground of the War for Seizing the Heavens?” Jun Mo Xie asked.
”It is southwest of here, about a thousand li.” Mei Xue Yan had already finished restitching Eagle King's body. Eagle King's feathers were neatly attached to his body again. He looked mighty and bold, as he were alive!
Mei Xue Yan stood in a daze and answered subconsciously.
”There is someone from the Holy Lands standing guard?” Jun Mo Xie raised his brow.
”How can there be no one guarding it? For all of history, all the strongest forwards from the Heaven Saint Palace of the three Holy Lands have been guarding there! For ten thousand years, they had never lost defence of the place!”
”En? There are people guarding there?!” An incisive glint flashed in Jun Mo Xie's eyes. ”Since there are experts guarding that place, why are they not here yet when this entire place has been overturned! The incident here is no ordinary incident. It is the collapse of Pillar of Heavens Mountain that separates the two continents!”
”And… where are they now?”Jun Mo Xie slowly raised his head and looked afar. Using an unusually cold tone, he said, ”The collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains had a tremendous impact; even Spirit Xuans and Saints will be injured in the face of the might of nature such as this! But it definitely will not be able to harm a Saint Emperor or Saint Venerable! Since this is such an important location, the experts who are standing guard must be of Saint cultivation at least! Since they're not dead, there's no way they will not know of this incident. The strange races are surging in in waves, so how could they not see it?! But why… why have they not arrived yet?”
Jun Mo Xie sounded extremely apathetic when he said this, but Mei Xue Yan and even Bear King who were more slow-witted could clearly sense that bone-chilling intention in Jun Mo Xie's tone!
In both of Jun Mo Xie's lives, he had never suffered such a disastrous loss. After this battle, this first troop of soldiers had lost above eighty percent of their men, of which included Tian Fa's Beast King Eagle King, the eight Saint Venerable Seniors of Tian Fa, and all the elite experts of the Eagle Clan.
Even those who managed to survive from the Bear Clan were heavily injured and not in a condition to fight. Such a disastrous loss, so many brothers passing, how could Jun Mo Xie not grief.
If Mei Xue Yan was heartbroken, Jun Mo Xie may be even more severe! At least, Mei Xue Yan could weep secretly when she was alone with him and have Young Master Jun consoling her!
But Jun Mo Xie could only bury all of the pain and grief at the bottom of his heart, and not even speak to anyone about it! Because he was a man! And a leader!
Honestly speaking, though Tian Fa had many sacrifices in this battle, the battle results were extremely glorious. With a loss of five thousand over men, they annihilated the enemy's troops that was more than twenty times their size. This included thirteen Supremacy Enduring Heavens, which was considered supreme amongst the strange races. The Xuan Xuan Continent had never obtained such battle results in all of history. A glorious result like this was not only unprecedented, it would definitely be unrivalled!
Yet no matter how glorious the battle results were, it was not what Young Master Jun desired. Even if the results were better, it would not be able to return the lives of his men!
Jun Mo Xie was some who was extremely protective of his men. In his heart, even if it was all the members of strange races combined, they couldn't compare to how important one Tian Fa brother of his was!
Jun Mo Xie always understood that war was filled with sacrifices. As long as there was a war, there would be sacrifices! But he didn't wish for these sacrifices to befall his own men, which was why he strengthened Tian Fa Xuan Beasts at all costs, and even ensured everyone had a heaven-defying pill like the 'Heaven Reversal Pill'. But it still couldn't avoid sacrifices!
The sorrow and grief in Jun Mo Xie;s heart could be imagined! But he didn't have anyone to vent it on! All the strange races have escaped, and this matter could not be implicate the Heaven Saint Palace, the three Holy Lands…
But now, Jun Mo Xie unexpectedly found out that it turned out there was someone else who was in charge of guarding the place. And there was a considerable number of powerful experts! Jun Mo Xie suddenly felt furious!
Extremely furious!
After the battle with Zhan Lun Hui earlier and getting an understanding of the strength of the three Holy Lands, he was still contemplating strength. But right now, there was no need for consideration! The enemy's strength did not need to be taken into account. They just had to kill! They'd be able to find out sooner or later. No matter whether the enemy was strong or weak, they'd definitely have to wipe them all out!
