Chapter 368 - The Lesser of Two Evils!
Chapter 368: Chapter 368: The Lesser of Two Evils!
On top of the two invading lords’ city walls, the two invading lords looked down at Ren Qi and the others, and their expressions turned ugly.
They had never thought that Ren Qi’s next target would be them.
They had originally thought that Ren Qi and the others would head to the invading lords on the other side. After all, their side was connected by two invading lords’territories.
However, the other party didn’t seem to care about this.
The two of them looked at each other and knew that they could only rely on each other at this moment.
!!Since they didn’t lend a helping hand to the invading Lord who was attacked first, the other invading lords around them definitely wouldn’t lend a helping hand.
After all, in their eyes, the two of them could help them exhaust the other party’s troops.
The two invading lords did not hesitate. They immediately opened their energy defensive light shields and made contact with each other.
If one of them was attacked by the majority of the troops, the other one would need to go all out to help.
There was no doubt about this!
Otherwise, if they were attacked one by one, they would die very quickly.
Soon, Ren Qi brought a large group of troops to the two invading lords’city walls.
To be honest, the indifference of the other troops made Ren Qi very happy. After all, if the other invading lords had supported them, they wouldn’t have been able to take down the invading Lord’s territory so easily.
At the very least, they would have lost a lot of troops.
Now, due to the other invading lords’indifference, Ren Qi and the others hadn’t paid too much to take down that invading Lord’s territory, so they hadn’t lost much of their troops.
Most of them had lost six new lord’s troops.
However, at this moment, the six new lord’s troops had smiles on their faces. This was because they realized that under Ren Qi’s leadership, they hadn’t lost much of their troops after destroying that invading Lord’s territory.
If this continued, they might not even lose half of their troops after annihilating the ten invading lords.
This thought made them very happy. After all, before they had arrived, they had already planned to annihilate all of their troops.
After all, the other party had ten invading lords!
Moreover, they had the advantage of having a territory!
Moreover, they had previously guessed that Ren Qi would use their troops as cannon fodder. However, the truth was the complete opposite.
His succubus army was the fiercest, especially that succubus with a longsword in her hand. She was simply a god of death, and no army could stop her.
“Attack!”
After arriving at the foot of the city wall, Ren Qi did not hesitate and directly gave the order to attack.
To him, the most important thing now was to finish off the enemy as quickly as possible!
A large number of soldiers began to pour towards the two territories that had opened their energy barrier. Instantly, ripples appeared on the energy barrier.
At this moment, the invading lords on the city wall also launched a counterattack. A large number of attacks flew down from the city wall towards the soldiers below.
As these attacks descended, the troops below also responded.
Ren Qi split the strength of the troops into two parts and attacked the territories of the two invading suzerains at the same time!
Following which, Ren Qi gestured to Elise, asking her to break through the territory of one of the invading suzerains first.
Elise nodded. Then, her body quickly rose up and directly arrived in mid-air. Looking at the territory in front of her, Elise did not hesitate and directly raised the dragon pool sword in her hand.
The invading Lord on the city wall of the invading Lord’s territory looked at Illis in the air and his face turned pale.
He had clearly seen that it was this succubus who broke the energy defense light barrier of the first invading Lord’s territory.
And now, the other party was going to break his territory!
Without hesitation, the invading Lord panicked and wanted to ask for help from the other invading lord.
However, when he saw the situation of the other invading Lord, his face turned ashen.
Although the other party didn’t suffer from the attack of this powerful army, half of the enemy army’s attack was enough to firmly suppress him, making it impossible for him to send troops to help.
At this moment, the invading Lord’s heart was filled with regret.
If he had listened to Zhang Honghu when he escaped, this situation wouldn’t have happened.
At the very least, the other invading suzerains around would help.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now!
“Boom!”
The Sword Qi released by the Dragon Abyss sword directly struck the energy defense light shield of the invading suzerain, producing a dull sound.
Following that, Elise raised the Dragon Abyss sword in his hand once again!
“Boom!”
There was another violent dull sound, and the entire energy defense light shield was instantly filled with cracks.
The third sword followed closely behind!
The entire energy defensive barrier was instantly shattered, turning into fragments and dissipating into the surrounding space.
The defense was broken!
The expression of this invading liege was deathly pale, and he could only watch helplessly as a large number of flying troops swarmed into his territory, and a large number of attacks entered his territory without any hindrance!
Everything around him instantly sank into a sea of fire!
The invading Lord’s lips trembled. In the end, she pulled out the longsword by her waist and directly slit her own throat.
She knew clearly in her heart that even if she was caught, she would probably not have a good ending.
Once the Lord died, the soldiers in the territory became even more flustered. Their combat strength was greatly reduced, and they were quickly eliminated by Ren Qi’s soldiers.
Ren Qi brought the troops in the surroundings and directly entered the territory in front of them.
On the other side, the other invading lord was still struggling to hold on.
However, Elise quickly arrived in the sky above his territory.
Looking at the figure in the sky, a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the invading lord.
Following that, he commanded the troops in the surroundings to block the attacking troops in the surroundings. Then, he rode on one of the troops and quickly left the territory with more than twenty troops.
He wanted to escape!
Even if he had to abandon the territory, he wanted to survive!
The invading Lord’s troops were flying troops, so they had an advantage in escaping.
Elise glanced at the escaping lord and did not chase after him. Instead, he chose to quickly break through the territory’s defenses.
The Lord’s escape dealt a great blow to the troops’morale. The invading Lord’s troops were quickly killed and then invaded by Ren Qi’s troops.
“Hahaha, this is amazing. We’ve already killed three of the enemy’s men, and our troops haven’t suffered much damage yet!”A new lord couldn’t help but laugh.
“That’s right, that’s right. We didn’t dare to think like this before. We were already thankful to be able to chase the enemy away. I didn’t expect that we would be able to directly eliminate this threat now.”
“All of this was brought to us by Boss Ren Qi and alliance chief Xu Xinghe. I’m really grateful to the two of you.”
The six new suzerains laughed when they saw that they had successfully eliminated three of the invading suzerains. Moreover, they didn’t suffer too much damage to their troops.
They were really too slow to be able to do this. They wished they could kowtow to Ren Qi twice.
Ren Qi waved his hand. Then, he looked at the remaining seven invading lord territories and frowned slightly.
“The other party has already realized that it’s impossible not to report to the regiment. I’m afraid that the battle below will not be so simple.”
Under Ren Qi’s gaze, the remaining seven invading Lord troops began to gather towards the center.
The other invading Lord Territories also left behind quite a few troops to defend themselves.
The other side had already formed a group!
If they attacked any more invading lords, the troops that had gathered would come out to support them.
Since the other side had gathered all their forces, their combat strength could not be underestimated.
Originally, the remaining seven invading lords did not plan to join forces.
After all, it was not a bad idea to let the invading lords that were targeted first exhaust the other side’s strength.
However, there was nothing they could do. Ren Qi’s speed of breaking through the city was simply too fast!
Moreover, what these invading lords could not accept the most was that this fellow actually did not suffer too much damage when he broke through the city!
How could they play this game?
If they did not join forces, the other party would destroy them one by one. There would not be too much loss at all.
Since they could not achieve the goal of consuming their strength, they naturally wanted to join forces to fight.
Therefore, when Zhang Honghu once again joined forces, the remaining invading lords all agreed.
On top of the city walls of Zhang Honghu’s territory, the remaining invading lords had all arrived.
Looking at the three invaded Lord territories that had been conquered in the distance, the surrounding invading lords all had fearful expressions on their faces.
They had been beaten into fear by the other party!
“The following battle won’t be so easy. Although our troops have gathered together, you should have seen their combat strength just now.”
“With such combat strength, it’s only possible for us to wrestle with the other party based on the defense of the territory.”
“So Next, I want all of you to hand over the command of all your troops to me!”
Zhang Honghu looked at the invading lords around him and said bluntly.
At this time, if they didn’t have the command and were like a pile of loose sand, and everyone wanted to preserve their own troops, then there was no need to fight. They could just surrender.
Hearing Zhang Honghu’s words, the expressions of the surrounding invading lords changed several times.
Although they had already promised Zhang Honghu to join forces, handing over the command was too big of a matter.
After all, no one wanted their own troops to be the first to face the enemy’s attack. With Zhang Honghu commanding, who could guarantee that the other party would not let their own troops become cannon fodder?
Looking at the expressions of the surrounding invading lords, Zhang Honghu revealed a cold smile.
“Look at all of you. It’s already so late, and you’re still thinking of protecting your own troops. If you don’t agree, I suggest that we stop fighting and just surrender!”
Hearing Zhang Honghu’s words, the surrounding lords panicked.
After all, among all the people present, Zhang Honghu was the strongest. If the other party messed up at this time, they would really be finished!
“Boss Zhang, don’t say things out of anger. We’re just thinking about it.”
“Yes, boss Zhang. You know how serious it is to hand over the command of our troops. We definitely have to think about it.”
“That’s right. After all, no one wants their own troops to be commanded by others, right? What if they are used as cannon fire?”
The surrounding invading lords all looked at Zhang Hong Hu and smiled as they said obsequiously.
Hearing the words of the surrounding invading lords.., zhang Hong Hu sneered and said, “I know what you are thinking. Don’t worry. I will throw all the troops into chaos and distribute them evenly. I guarantee that every operation, everyone loses the same troops!”
Hearing Zhang Honghu’s words, the surrounding invading lords immediately nodded and said, “If that’s the case, we don’t have any questions. The command of the troops will all be handed over to boss Zhang!”
Zhang Honghu looked at the surrounding invading lords with a gloomy expression.
Although he had obtained the command, the current situation was not optimistic.
They had already lost three of their territory invasions, and their chances of winning had been greatly reduced.
If these idiots had listened to his plan earlier, the current situation would definitely have been much better.
He was really stupid to actually ally with such a bunch of trash!
However, it was too late to say anything now. Zhang Honghu could only organize his emotions and start mobilizing the invading territory invasions around him.
A large number of troops were thrown into chaos and began to interweave evenly according to their numbers.
“What do we do now?”Seeing that Zhang Honghu had really thrown the troops into chaos, one of the invading lords looked at Zhang Honghu and asked.
Zhang Honghu said coldly, “What else can we do? Just wait. Right now, we’re not the ones taking the initiative. We can only wait for the other party to attack first.”
At this moment, Ren Qi was also observing the other party’s movements. Looking at Zhang Honghu’s actions, Ren Qi nodded.
“The other party does have some experts. This kind of movement can protect the main force and the surrounding territories. It can greatly reduce the pressure of attacking.”
Xu Xinghe nodded and said, “That’s right. If we attack the surrounding troops, the other party’s main force will come out and pincer attack us. If we head straight for the territory where the main force is located, the surrounding territories can encircle us.”
Hearing Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe’s words, the six new suzerains around them also frowned.
The current situation was indeed a little troublesome. It seemed that no matter what choice they made, it was not the best choice.
Ren Qi said coldly, “Since the other side wants to protect each other, then we should directly destroy the other territories around the main force’s territory. One by one, we’ll uproot them. Let’s see how the other side can still fight against each other!”
Both choices were hard to come by. However, compared to attacking the other side’s main force, the best choice was to destroy the surrounding territories first!
The lesser of the two evils!
Since he had made up his mind, Ren Qi did not hesitate. After leaving behind his troops in the three territories he had occupied, he led his main force towards the westmost invading Lord’s territory!
First, he had to uproot those territories that only had one invading lord around them!
