Chapter 1245: Chapter 1245 Looking For Death
The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince had both proposed to support Ye Liuyun, but he dared not agree. He was afraid that they wouldn’t be reliable.
They both understood why he rejected them.
So they proactively took action to demonstrate their abilities to Ye Liuyun.
However, when they truly engaged in battle, they found that the borrowed soldiers were not effective at all.
These soldiers simply didn’t fight with determination. During the charges, they moved slowly, wasting precious opportunities. When it came time to retreat, they ran faster than anyone else.
Moreover, the borrowed soldiers had their own leaders, and sometimes, they simply didn’t follow the orders given by the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. Since they lacked command authority, they couldn’t establish any rules.
At this moment, they realized that these soldiers could only be used for show, not for actual deployment.
When they communicated with Ye Liuyun, they praised his wisdom and, of course, complained about the laziness of these soldiers.
"When they defend the city, they will fight to the death! But in battles outside, they are useless! Emperor Xia sent you to borrow troops probably just to have you defend the city!" Ye Liuyun explained to them.
"In that case, why don’t we all go to your city and help you defend it?" suggested the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.
Ye Liuyun understood that they sincerely wanted to participate in the battle and help, so he didn’t refuse.
"That’s great!"
Ever since he occupied this city, Ye Liuyun had become a thorn in the side of the foreign races. They attacked him relentlessly every day.
Fortunately, he had stone and metal puppets that would never feel tired. He only sent the 30,000 devil cultivators he brought with him to resist when he needed to replenish their energy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hold the city for long.
Even so, he still found it extremely challenging. freewebnσvel.cøm
If the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince’s large armies were to come, not only could they force those soldiers into battle, but they could also completely occupy the city.
So, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince led their troops into the city.
Before they entered the city, Ye Liuyun had already recalled all his puppets.
The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince naturally knew that Ye Liuyun had many puppets by his side. However, the two commanders couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
"With just this few people, you were able to defend the city?"
They only saw Ye Liuyun defending with his thirty thousand devil cultivators.
"That is why I need your help."
Ye Liuyun saluted them, entrusting the city’s defense to them and withdrawing his thirty thousand devil cultivators for reorganization.
Ye Liuyun’s guess was indeed correct.
These people might not be good at offensive warfare, but they were very diligent in defending the city. They were afraid that the foreign race’s army would breach the city and they would all die here!
The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince admired Ye Liuyun, saying, "You really have great foresight!"
"Haha, with you all here, I’m much more relaxed!" Ye Liuyun was also delighted. This way, he could focus on his cultivation without any interruptions.
Now he didn’t need to worry about managing things outside. The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince were on the city walls every day, participating in battles and patrols.
Most of his time, Ye Liuyun spent cultivating inside the Xuankong Stone.
Due to the abundant resources, he broke through to the realm of Life and Death Second Stage in just a few days.
After consolidating his realm, Ye Liuyun decided to go out for a walk. He strolled up to the city walls to inspect the defenses.
"Hmm? Why is it so quiet today?"
He suddenly noticed there was no attack from the foreign race today.
"Yeah, it’s unusually strange today!" The two commanders and the two princes appeared tense.
Ye Liuyun stood on the city wall, using his Golden Phantom Eyes to scan the foreign race’s camp, but he didn’t see anything unusual.
"Shouldn’t we retreat? Continuing like this, when will it end?" One of the commanders suggested to Ye Liuyun.
In these days, their manpower had significantly decreased due to defending the city. They had talked to Ye Liuyun multiple times about leaving this place. Probably, the loss of lives was getting to them.
"This city is incredibly crucial. It determines whether the imperial army can proceed to the next level smoothly. If we can’t hold it, it’s our negligence. By then, the empire will blame us!"
Ye Liuyun pretended to bring up the empire to intimidate them.
Upon hearing this, the two commanders fell silent. They couldn’t bear such a massive accusation, so they had no choice but to continue defending the city obediently.
"But it’s unusually quiet today; we can’t help but feel uneasy!" One of the commanders said.
"What’s there to fear? Just focus on your defense. We’ll counter whatever they throw at us!"
Ye Liuyun said nonchalantly, but his Divine Sense and Golden Phantom Eyes continued to probe the movements of the foreign race army.
The sudden calm was indeed an abnormal situation.
Just then, he noticed a foreign race warrior clad in golden scales, surrounded by a group of foreign race elites, advancing towards the city.
Others also noticed this group and immediately turned their attention.
The foreign warrior in golden scales was Ba Helei.
He had been tracking Ye Liuyun and had just arrived.
"Ye Liuyun, come out and face your death! Lord Ba Helei wants to deal with you personally!"
A devil cultivator behind him shouted.
"Are you challenging me?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
Ba Helei snorted lightly at his words.
The devil cultivator translated for him, "Challenge? You’re not worthy! But Lord Ba Helei is giving you a fair chance to fight because you still have a bit of a reputation!"
Ye Liuyun smiled and asked back, "Why should I fight him?"
"What? Are you afraid?" The devil cultivator continued shouting.
Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes revealed that Ba Helei was at the eighth level of the Sacred Terra, a realm he couldn’t directly confront. He didn’t need to engage in direct combat with him.
He didn’t need to engage in direct combat with him.
However, he still wanted to use this opportunity to cause more damage to the foreign race. It depended on whether he would get a chance.
If there were no benefits, he wouldn’t willingly seek out trouble!
"It’s not that I’m afraid. It’s that I disdain it! A creature that can’t even speak like a human, why should I bother to fight?" Ye Liuyun sneered.
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun’s words, Ba Helei roared in anger. Immediately, he whispered something to the devil cultivator.
The devil cultivator promptly translated, "If you agree to our lord’s terms, we will cede the two cities beside you to you!"
"Oh? Are you sure he has the authority to decide?" Ye Liuyun questioned.
"Of course! No one dares to disobey the words of our lord!" The devil cultivator shouted.
"I don’t believe it! I will only trust it if the leaders of those two cities come out personally to confirm."
Ye Liuyun had known that the golden-scaled armor denoted royalty within the foreign race, signifying a high status among them.
However, he was uncertain if this royal status translated to absolute authority during wars.
Just like the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, they were legitimate princes of the royal family, yet they couldn’t command the army at will.
