Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244 Victory
Tuo Muhai had no choice but to sit tight until the army withdrew and the Great Hsia Dynasty before making a decision.
"The actions of one or two individuals may not significantly alter the course of a battle. Do not let it get to your head."
In the hopes that Ba Helei would abandon the idea of taking risks, Tuo Muhai added his own explanation.
However, Ba Helei didn’t seem to mind at all. "Humans are nothing more than our food and slaves! How dare we put up with their haughtiness?"
"And I suggest that we turn all the devil cultivators into corpse slaves so that nothing unexpected will happen in the future!"
When he finished speaking, many foreign race nodded in agreement.
They did not hold humans in high regard, and the fact that the Ba Helei were nobles did not help matters.
Tuo Muhai cursed in his heart, "We will have no advantage in fighting martial practitioners without these devil cultivators! Only these devil cultivators understand what humans are thinking!"
However, he did not explain. He simply stated, "At the moment, the war is urgent. These devil cultivators’ flexibility will be greatly reduced once they become corpse slaves. The war situation is dire! Let us first withdraw the army, and then we can talk about other things!"
Tuo Muhai made the final decision in an instant. The issue of organizing the army’s evacuation in batches was resolved.
However, after Tuo Muhai had left, Ba Helei remarked, "I think our God of War is getting a little old!"
Several foreign races agreed with him and praised him.
Ba Helei had a touch of arrogance. He was convinced that if he directed some individuals to assassinate Ye Liuyun, he would irreparably damage martial practitioners’ morale.
He killed Ye Liuyun with the ease he would crush an ant.
At the thought of this, he began to think about a few foreign races. He brought along a group of Corpse Demons and quietly slipped out of the army. They rushed to the battlefield to search for traces of Ye Liuyun.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun had already met up with Qin Peng.
Qin Peng’s army relied heavily on warships to attack the opposing army of foreign races in this battle. Ye Liuyun led the devil cultivators in close combat against the Corpse Demons.
This army of foreign races had been completely destroyed. The Corpse Demons were beginning to flee in all directions.
Ye Liuyun gathered the remaining few devil cultivators together to hunt down the Corpse Demons until they died.
Then, Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng returned to the city. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince also retreated to their own cities after they intercepted the reinforcements.
Ye Liuyun provided them with a large quantity of goods as a token of his appreciation.
Regardless, he had captured a great number of them—far more than he could use immediately.
Even though he had to rely on his own resources to take part in the war, between his captured goods and the donations from the people of the continent, he ended up with more resources than he needed. To put it simply, he did not suffer losses.
Once Qin Peng arrived, he gave Ye Liuyun the one hundred thousand devil cultivators he brought into the city.
These devil cultivators were also expelled from the sect. It would have no effect on the sect’s development if they were sent to join the battle.
Contrarily, it accomplished the Devil Lord’s elite route, and Ye Liuyun added the troops’ origin. Another top-tier soldier succumbed to the Jiuyou Song’s intoxicating effects.
The devil cultivators were prepared ahead of time. Ye Liuyun only needed to channel the strength of his Divine Soul into the Jiuyou Song to persuade them. He would have them regard him as a Devil Lord and blindly follow his every command.
After Ye Liuyun had taken care of the situation, he had them trained by Qin Peng under the guise of a lecture.
He was not as good as Qin Peng when it came to training soldiers to gather battle formations.
As soon as Qin Peng took it, he noticed that the devil cultivators had changed. They took to training with enthusiasm, cooperated well, and displayed remarkable discipline. They were utterly different from how they appeared when they arrived.
"It’s amazing! How did you lecture them? Why did they suddenly change?"
Incredulous, Qin Peng turned to Ye Liuyun for an explanation. He also requested that Ye Liuyun address his army.
Ye Liuyun was amused by him. "Only these devil cultivators can benefit from what I say. You would better learn to control your troops on your own."
Next, Ye Liuyun returned to the Xuankong Stone to train.
He had recently engaged in numerous battles, and as a result, his cultivation realm was extremely robust. He needed to seize this chance to make his mark.
After Qin Peng’s arrival, he had nothing to worry about.
Not long after Qin Peng assumed command, he observed the orderly retreat of the army of the foreign race.
"Hey, I haven’t fought yet. Why did they run away?"
He also knew that there was no supply for the foreign race, so he immediately sent out an army of devil cultivators to seize the city.
After taking over the city, he asked Ye Liuyun if he needed to proceed any further.
"Let’s go! Since they have retreated, we must seize this opportunity to reclaim the territory we lost to them."
Ye Liuyun’s entire army was consequently advancing.
As soon as he moved, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince followed him with their troops. Two cities close to Ye Liuyun are still under their occupation.
The imperial army of the Great Hsia Dynasty also advanced in full force.
They had been retreating ever since the start of the war. After Ye Liuyun’s arrival, however, they began to reclaim their lost territory.
Despite Ye Liuyun’s lack of merit, these commanders were not naive. They knew exactly what Ye Liuyun had done and how much he had contributed.
Therefore, all attention on the battlefield was temporarily focused on Ye Liuyun.
To coordinate with Ye Liuyun and spread the battle’s benefits, some superiors even sent Sound Transmission Talismans.
Ye Liuyun, therefore, openly welcomed them. Ye Liuyun would essentially send them supplies and let them bring them back if they came to befriend the commanders.
In this way, his staff would be better!
In addition, Qin Peng had taken the initiative to dispatch his troops after they had taken control of the city’s new side. He had already defeated the armies of foreign races in two separate battles. This boosted the spirits of the many Great Hsia Dynasty armies.
Some of the commanders worked together to achieve victory.
Many foreign races suffered significant losses and were forced to reorganize. Half a month later, the army of the foreign races was forced to retreat once more.
As soon as they retreated, the imperial army advanced another level.
The imperial court sent resources to the army as a reward for their long string of victories.
Even Emperor Xia was surprised by how helpful Ye Liuyun proved to be once he arrived on the battlefield.
Ye Liuyun took advantage of the situation at hand and made a second assault, this time penetrating the foreign race’s defenses and taking over a city.
He slashed through the foreign race’s entire defensive line like a dagger.
However, he was surrounded by armies of foreign races on both sides.
However, Ye Liuyun showed no signs of concern. After seizing the city, Qin Peng led the two hundred thousand troops and the hundred thousand devil cultivators to retreat and provide support for him from behind.
Even if he couldn’t defend it, he could retreat at any time.
