331 Chapter 331 advantage
It was as Wu tai had expected.
apart from tai Mountain City, all the other cities were under attack.
But most of the cities were like tai Mountain City.
They all blocked the enemy’s sneak attack, only two cities were caught off guard and were forced to retreat.
Back and forth.
Both sides had suffered losses.
Just as the Tai Mountain City Army was resting.
In the endless Mountains.
A Grand Hall that was as majestic as a mountain was located in a Valley.
Within the palace.
There were a total of twelve seats, and a person sat on each seat.
A terrifying aura spread out from it.
These auras gathered together.
It caused the space to twist slightly.
Suddenly.
A middle-aged man with long silver hair opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura seemed to be brewing in his eyes. He slowly said, “”Twelve underworld envoys have fallen!”
The words fell.
The other 11 people also opened their eyes, each of their faces filled with indifference.
the black nether emissary has condensed the inverse feather divine ability, and his power is comparable to that of a Deva human cultivator. Only someone at the third level of Deva realm or above can kill him! A green-robed man said slowly. A crescent moon was flowing on his forehead.
After a slight pause, he continued.
“As far as I know, there are no cultivators above the third level of celestial being in the thousand mountains Prefecture, except for Marquis Qian Shan.”
“What’s the point of guessing so much? we’ll know once we take a look,” Another lady in Palace Clothing said coldly.
Immediately.
The silver-haired middle-aged man’s double-pupiled eyes shot out a cold light.
Immediately after.
A circle that was ten feet in size appeared in front of everyone.
Within the circle.
An image was displayed.
If Qin shujian was here, he would have been able to see the contents of the image. It was the image of the black nether emissary before he died.
“What an overbearing flame!”
it can even incinerate the body of a half-step Deva. This flame is even more powerful than the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.
a Grandmaster-level formation technique. It seems like the person who did this is a Grandmaster-level formation technique.
Deep discussions could be heard within the Great Hall. As they watched the flames incinerate the black nether emissary to death, many people’s expressions changed.
Finally …
The scene was fixed on Qin shujian’s face.
Bang! Bang!
The circle shattered, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.
The silver-haired middle-aged man said, ” the black nether emissary is half a step into the Deva realm. He has also condensed the inverse feather. It’s unlikely that an ordinary array Grandmaster would be able to trap and kill him.
To be able to do this, one has to be at least at the peak of the first realm of the Grandmaster realm.”
I’ve heard that there’s a Grandmaster of arrays in the human race. He’s the reincarnation of an Almighty and has the skills of an array Grandmaster in the spiritual martial realm. I think it’s him.
his strength is at the spiritual martial realm, which means that his memory from his previous life has not fully recovered. Under such circumstances, he still has the skills of a first level Grandmaster. At the peak of his previous life, he must have been at least a second level Grandmaster.
“If this person grows up, he will be a threat. I suggest killing him.”
“That person isn’t dead yet. It’s not appropriate for us to take action.”
there’s no need for us to personally deal with a spiritual martial realm Grandmaster. Just sending the heavenly demon guards would be enough.
In the main hall, everyone was discussing.
Finally …
“The black nether emissary is a member of the heavenly Eagle tribe,” the silver-haired man said indifferently,”let the heavenly demon guards of the heavenly Eagle tribe take action!”
“Alright!”
After a short discussion, the matter was settled.
A cultivator of the spiritual martial realm was nothing to the monster race.
Even a first realm Grandmaster would be the same.
However-
If it was a second realm Grandmaster, then it would be worth paying attention to.
An Almighty.
He was already at the seventh level of celestial realm and above.
Even though the strength of a second realm Grandmaster was not as strong as an Almighty, they were not far from it.
With the two combined.
His strength was definitely not to be underestimated.
Everyone knew that if such a powerful being was allowed to grow, it would not be good news for the monster race.
If not for the existence of the human Emperor.
They had already personally taken action and wiped out the other party.
But there was human Emperor.
If the demon race wanted to attack, they couldn’t be too unscrupulous.
The heavenly demon guard was an organization of the demon race that roamed the great Zhao. It was filled with demon experts, but they were extremely skilled at concealment techniques and their assassination skills were superb.
In the current situation.
Using the heavenly demon guards was the most reasonable course of action.
On the other side.
The death of one of the twelve underworld envoys and the loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers also infuriated Marquis Qian Shan.
“This servant has underestimated the strength of Taishan City and caused heavy losses to our Army. I hope Lord will punish me!” Guo Tong knelt on the ground with one knee and lowered his head as he pleaded for forgiveness.
Marquis Qian Shan looked at him coldly and said indifferently, “”Do you think that your life alone is worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers?”
“This humble servant is aware of his crimes!”
“Hmph!” Marquis Qian Shan snorted coldly and said, “”If it wasn’t for the lack of generals in the Army, I would have killed you today. Now, you will receive 300 whips as punishment.
After this battle, we’ll punish him.”
“Thank you, Marquis, for your mercy. This humble servant is willing to accept the punishment!” Hearing this, Guo Tong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
The punishment of three hundred whips was heavy.
However, Marquis Qian Shan’s punishment was equivalent to sparing his life.
In comparison.
No matter what, 300 whips were still better than losing his life.
“Men!”
“Your subordinate is here!”
Several guards came in from outside and bowed.
Marquis Qian Shan pointed at the kneeling Guo Tong and coldly said,”Take him away and give him 300 heavy whips!”
“Yes!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards lifted Guo Tong up and took him away.
Soon after.
Marquis Qian Shan looked at bu Tianhua and said, “”We’ve lost a lot of soldiers, and the Imperial court is well prepared. In your opinion, what should we do next?”
Upon hearing this.
Bu Tian Hua didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
After a while.
He opened his mouth and said, ” the sneak attack failed this time. Our Army has suffered heavy losses. However, the Imperial court has also suffered losses. It can be considered a draw. However, the garrison of several major cities at the front line has weakened. Their defenses are not strong enough.
Moreover, with our current strength, there’s no benefit in extending the battle line too long. It’s better to give them the city in front, and our Army can move back and accumulate strength before we officially fight them.”
While they were talking.
Bu Tian Hua’s expression did not look too good.
The sneak attack was his suggestion.
In the end, they had lost a lot.
More importantly, one of the twelve underworld envoys had fallen.
Compared to the casualties of hundreds of thousands of soldiers …
The death of one of the twelve underworld envoys made his heart ache even more.
However …
Fortunately, it was the black nether emissary who had fallen.
If the one who died was emissary Qing Ming, then things would be even more troublesome.
Upon hearing this.
“If we go to war with the Imperial court, our chances of winning are less than 40%,” Marquis Qian Shan replied.
a 40% chance of winning is still a chance of winning. Besides, we’re not going to fight them head-on. The two grandmasters have already set up enough formations. We’re just waiting for them to walk into our trap.
what do you think of those two grandmasters compared to Qin shujian and Mingjing mountain when they join forces? ”
“Enough to deal with them.”
“Fine, then let them have it!” Marquis thousand mountains didn’t argue with bu Tianhua’s confidence and directly ordered.
—
On the other side.
With Marquis Qian Shan’s order, the guards of Yongfeng city and several other frontline cities withdrew.
The spies planted in the city.
He also sent the news of the enemy retreating back to the Imperial court.
No matter if it was Yan caizhe and the rest, or Wu tai, after they received the news of the other party’s retreat, the first thing they did was to send out their troops. They took down these few cities effortlessly and further reduced the scope of the rebel forces.
Thousand mountains Prefecture was huge.
But correspondingly.
There weren’t many places that were truly important.
Now, more than half of the prefecture was under the control of the Imperial court, and Gu Changqing only had one-third of the territory of the entire thousand mountains Prefecture.
At this moment, he was facing the confrontation between the Imperial court and Gu Changqing.
No one in the cultivation world in thousand mountain Prefecture dared to interfere easily. They all held a wait-and-see attitude.
To them …
No matter which side won, it would have no effect on the cultivation world.
On the contrary.
If they suddenly interfered and chose a side, the consequences would be unimaginable once they made the wrong choice.
After all …
No matter how powerful the sects in the cultivation world were, they could not fight against an Army alone.
After pushing the front line forward.
The Army that had split up earlier gathered together.
With Yan caizhe as the commander, the Army of tens of millions went straight for the source of the problem.
Any city they passed by.
Almost all of the defenders fled at the mere sight of it.
After all, in the face of such a large Army, the hundreds of thousands of defenders of a city simply did not have the qualifications to confront them.
In just half a month.
Marquis thousand mountains ‘sphere of influence was once again reduced to an extremely low position, only occupying one-fifth of the vast thousand mountains Prefecture.
Until now.
Only now did everyone understand the power of the Imperial court.
The Army moved out.
They swept across the land, causing the rebel army to flee.
Dingxiang city!
This was a city not much smaller than Yongchang city, and it was also an important city in thousand mountains Prefecture. Three days ago, this city was in the hands of Gu Changqing, and three days later, it was under the banner of the Imperial court.
In the city Lord’s mansion.
Many generals were gathered.
Qin shujian and Ming Jingshan were also among them.
In front of everyone, there was a huge sand tray with red and black flags on it.
Red represented the Imperial court.
Black represented the rebels.
From the sand tray, one could see that the black Flag had been surrounded by the red flag, leaving only a small space.
However …
A small area on the sandbox was not a small piece of land in reality.
Yan caizhe said in a deep voice, ” right now, thousand mountains Prefecture has almost been recovered. However, as we have recovered more and more cities, the strength of our Army has been scattered. Right now, we are still lacking in the recruitment of soldiers in the various cities.
The more territories they recovered.
At the same time, they also needed a lot of power to maintain order.
After all, the enemy had directly retreated, and there was no such thing as a captive.
Gu Changqing has no way out now, ” said ke Yucheng. if our Army continues to push forward, it will be the time for the final battle.
