Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315 Convincing with Virtue
After finishing, he turned around and found that Ghostaff was still there and had not left.
"I am afraid I do not have time to take care of you right now!" Ye Liuyun wanted Ghostaff to leave on his own.
"You know, now the soldiers must hate those puppets. If I go out like this, I will probably be chopped into pieces by them!" Ghostaff explained.
"Emperor Xia has already notified all of the commanders that you might have been controlled by Song Fanjun. They probably would not make things difficult for you!" Ye Liuyun said it disdainfully.
"Now that the soldiers have been killed, how can they listen to my explanation? I am just a Weapon-refining master, not a murderer! If I am killed by them, I will be so unjust!" Ghostaff insisted on not leaving.
"They would not be so calm like you. Please take me with you. You can be busy with your stuff. I will just follow your team. I would not make trouble for you, and I do not need your protection," said Ghostaff.
"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun was too embarrassed to reject him, nor did he have the time to argue with him.
He immediately took out the Sound Transmission Talisman and began to contact the armies to learn about the situation on the battlefield.
Their counterattack went very smoothly, and the foreign races were caught off guard. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Moreover, the soldiers vented their resentment and hatred toward them and fought extremely bravely in battle. Hence, the foreign race suffered heavy losses.
This was the best opportunity to counterattack.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun gave an order to the army.
The whole army continued to move forward and took turns to move forward. Qin Peng and Zuo Mu stayed on both sides of the army to prevent the counterattack or sneak attack of the foreign race.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun also informed everyone. "The rebel Song Fanjun has been executed, and the controlled Ling Haokun has recovered. The entire puppet army has been destroyed!"
The commanders who received the news immediately passed the message to the soldiers, causing all armies to burst into cheers.
Even if Ye Liuyun and the others were far away, they could still hear it clearly!
Seeing that Ye Liuyun was no longer busy, Ling Haokun also came over and said, "Lord Ye, do you think I made a mistake in Weapon-refining?"
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun also said sincerely, "The one who was wrong was not the Weapon-refining master, but the one who used the weapon. Just like the knife in my hand, the person who made it had no right or wrong. It still depends on who is holding it!"
Hearing this, Ling Haokun looked at Ye Liuyun differently.
In the past, there were always people who said that he made murderous weapons and called him Ghostaff. Even many decent martial practitioners did not come to him for Weapon-refining.
And this created a vicious cycle. More and more evil people came to him for Weapon-refining and his reputation became even worse.
Now that Ye Liuyun had brought it up, he naturally held Ye Liuyun in high regard.
"Lord Ye, I heard that you have a Weapon-Refining Alliance. Can I join it?" Ling Haokun asked tentatively.
In the past, he was used to being excluded. He was afraid that Ye Liuyun or the Weapon-Refining Alliance would reject him.
"Of course! You are a weapon-refining master! And the Weapon-Refining Alliance would like to invite a master like you!"
Ye Liuyun said it without even thinking about it.
"Really? Can I join?" Ling Haokun was overjoyed.
He also hoped to be recognized and respected.
However, he still reminded Ye Liuyun, "I did not have a good reputation. I wonder if the Weapon-Refining Alliance will accept me..."
However, Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "The Weapon-Refining Alliance has its own rules. As long as you abide by them, it will be good enough. As for your artifact, it will just be merely an artifact, regardless of whether it is good or bad. No one would talk about it! There are only a few Weapon-refining masters inside. They will naturally understand this principle."
Hearing this, Ling Haokun also felt relaxed.
"I will join the Weapon-Refining Alliance when I get back!" He said it happily.
"Welcome! Take care of yourself. I really do not have time to take care of you right now!" Ye Liuyun told him.
"Alright!" Ling Haokun nodded his head in agreement.
Ye Liuyun was laughing in his heart. "This should be an act of subduing others with virtue! I did not expect to be able to recruit a Weapon-refining master with just a few words!"
Next, Ye Liuyun continued to move forward with his armies. From time to time, he would communicate with the various armies and control the situation on the entire battlefield.
He would also communicate with Qin Peng in advance and ask him for advice.
Ye Liuyun led the reorganized elite armies and marched in the rear. Once the front army encountered a tough enemy, they would take action.
Tuo Muhai, the commander of the foreign race, did not expect that the imperial army would counterattack so soon, even if they were seriously injured.
He had killed over a million of the three million soldiers, yet they could counterattack without stopping. This was completely abnormal.
It was not the fighting style of the imperial army.
However, this kind of fighting style caught him completely off guard.
Therefore, he could only let the foreign race keep retreating. Some of the armies that did not have enough time to retreat were killed by the imperial army.
At this point, both sides suffered heavy losses.
First, the foreign race lost a small part of their forces to attract the imperial army to get into their encirclement.
Then, the imperial side lost a million soldiers.
However, there was an immediate reversal. The foreign race was instantly counterattacked, and now they had lost more than the imperial army.
Moreover, their equipment quantity was small, and this time they became the focus of the attack. Most of the warships in the team were almost wiped out by the imperial army.
After that, they could only fight hand-to-hand. By then, their losses would be even greater.
With the current situation, the defensive line of the foreign races could not stop moving backward.
In just a few days, Ye Liuyun had led the imperial army to force the foreign race to retreat to a third of the southern area.
Although Tuo Muhai had constantly arranged for defense, he had never been able to turn the situation around. All he did was send lives to Ye Liuyun in vain.
In the beginning, Emperor Xia had been rather worried that the army would not be able to endure this sort of torment.
However, he soon discovered that Ye Liuyun had made good use of the soldiers’ grief and anger and made a beautiful turnaround.
The commanders of the various armies also admired Ye Liuyun for his command.
Just as everyone thought that Ye Liuyun was about to enter the foreign race’s lair in one breath, Ye Liuyun suddenly ordered the soldiers to retreat. Furthermore, they were asked to retreat back to their original starting point, which would return a large portion of their domain to the foreign race.
As soon as the army retreated, he began to order the supplies in the rear to be prepared immediately. He asked the army to replenish the resources in five days and prepare to fight again.
All the commanders were stunned.
"Why do we retreat all of a sudden? Are we losing the territory we occupied for nothing?" freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Is this not benefiting the foreign race? We have lost so many soldiers. Did all of them just die for nothing?"
