Chapter Thirteen Painful Decisions
The battle came as scheduled, thinking that the things in front of him were just roadblocks set up by Tianyao and others when they ran away. The witch man easily cleared several lines of defense, but he encountered a head-on blow from the Kutun army on the sixth line of defense.
Countless possessive skills mixed with sharp blades took tens of thousands of lives in an instant. After three rounds of throwing, tens of thousands of Kutun soldiers on this line of defense immediately retreated to the rear. The generals of the witch clan, who were so angry that they were almost vomiting blood, were in tears looking at the messy battlefield.
But soon, they regrouped, but unfortunately they were caught off guard by the Kutun army from time to time. No one could guess which line of defense Situ Nan would lay his troops. This kind of command ability to flexibly allocate military forces to play with the enemy in the applause made Tianyao and his party’s eyes wide open.
But the witch man seemed determined to rush out of the ancient mountains. Without taking any casualties, he broke through seventy-two lines of defense within three hours, and almost every step forward would cost hundreds or thousands of lives.
This desperate offensive finally forced Situ Nan to order a full battle. If the opponent is not stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable once the front retreats beyond the ancient mountains.
The battle lasted for twelve hours. Perhaps the casualties of the witch clan exceeded expectations, so they finally retreated ten miles and stationed troops in a formation.
The Kutun army was already exhausted. Tianyao arranged for strong battles and orcs to garrison them, and replaced the friendly forces.
Due to the tight battle situation before, Situ Nan had time to count the results at this moment, but the figures obtained were simply unimaginable.
Although they caused at least 200,000 troops to the Witch Clan, the Kutun army also suffered 50,000 deaths, and 80,000 seriously injured, losing the power to fight again.
This was just the first battle. The casualties on both sides were so huge, which was simply horrifying. Situ Nan's face was already ashen. While someone was clearing the battlefield, he was thinking about countermeasures.
Unfortunately, the witch clan relied on sufficient troops and only took three hours to rest and then started attacking again. This time, Tianyao took the initiative to send strong battles and the Beast Army to participate in the garrison.
Another day of hard battle, not to mention the losses of the witch clan, Tianyao's side sacrificed another 60,000 and seriously injured 100,000.
On the third day, Kutun's army was killed 70,000 and seriously injured 120,000.
The large number of sacrifices of the warriors made all the generals' nerves reach the extreme. If we say that the hardest days are the ones they and the emperor-level venerables.
In order to minimize the damage of the warriors, they must always fight on the front line and fight against the witch clan Venerables. Although Tianyao's side has a lot of super combat power, they cannot withstand such high-intensity battles.
After the fourth day of the battle, Situ Nan made a suggestion.
"What, no, I don't agree."
After hearing this, Tianyao immediately objected.
Others also had bad faces, but many people also showed contemplative expressions.
"Captain Yun, it is not an exaggeration to call this place a meat minting farm in the current situation. Everyone is taking their lives. I don't know why the witch clan is so crazy, but we can't withstand such consumption. What's more, the other party obviously knows the existence of the Walking Corps and beheads all those who die in battle, and does not give us any chance at all."
"But you can't turn the warriors into zombies alive. I'm not a pedantic person, nor do I regard zombies as outsiders, but I really can't agree with such things that go against the will of heaven and man."
It turned out that Situ Nan and Tianyao had differences because of this matter.
"Brother, we have lost nearly 200,000 people in just a few days, and the seriously injured are even more exponentially. If we don't think of some countermeasures, we will have no more soldiers to fight within half a month."
Xiang Ding knew that Tianyao's insistence was not malicious, but from his position, Situ Nan's opinion was exactly what he wanted. Only when a zombie formed a certain scale and number could it play its greatest role. The previous ones could not be called battles at all.
"Captain Yun, I raised a million troops, and now I have almost lost half of them. To be realistic, the army of beasts under your command cannot be transformed due to their bloodline. Fighting and imperial-level powerful men are even more valuable combat power. Only my hundreds of thousands of seriously injured and dying warriors can be transformed into zombies. If you have heartache, am I even more serious than anyone else? Besides, we should consider more for the living."
Situ Nan's words made the generals belonging to Kutun reveal a deep sadness, as if the bloody flesh on the wound was torn open. Situ Nan was also opposed when he made this opinion, but in the end, they reached an agreement for the living.
"Hey, you can do it, but if they are not voluntarily converted, I hope to respect the choices of the soldiers."
Tian Yao sighed deeply and stopped expressing his opinion. After all, as Situ Nan said, these soldiers belong to Kutun, not to mention that the other party's actions were helpless, and it was for the sake of the overall situation. What qualifications did he have to make a point?
However, in the face of this situation, he became more determined in his heart, and he only waited for Tianxiang and the others to make plans after they arrived.
Perhaps I had communicated everything with the soldiers long ago, and almost all the seriously injured agreed to the transformation plan. In this way, nearly 400,000 zombies officially joined the battlefield, which finally eased the situation a little.
Three days later, Tianxiang and his party finally arrived at the ancient mountains. After learning about the battle here, he had not had time to talk to Tianyao in detail, so he took Xiang'er and the Beast Army to leave the place. He only left one sentence, hoping that Tianyao, Situ Nan and the others would hold on for a few more days.
Since this time, the zombies are at the forefront and they are the main force during the day and do not have to rest at night to harass the witch clan at any time, making it difficult to defend. Finally, they waited for Tianxiang to return on the eighth day.
What everyone did not expect was that Tianxiang brought hundreds of thousands of reinforcements when he came back this time, which made everyone happy and a little confused.
"We are fighting hard here. Other countries are watching operas. How can we do such a good thing? It is related to the rise and fall of Beizhou. We must share the same hatred of the enemy. Even if we use some means, it is fine. This is the first batch. There are three batches. Anna has already raised troops to help. I don't believe that the witch clan can continue to fight like this."
Tianxiang's words were like a shot of a heart-warming attack into everyone's heart.
It can be imagined that when he asked these countries to send troops, his methods would be more straightforward and even rough, but they were very effective.
The Witch Clan is not a fool. After a long time of attack and even reinforcements from the other side rushed over, he finally resigned and retreated to the fog.
Although the witch clan did not have the saint-level masters to take action from beginning to end, Tianyao and the others did not dare to take it lightly. Tianxiang even set up several large formations in case of emergency needs.
At this point, the first wave of attacks of the witch clan invasion was finally blocked by the joint efforts of the Yun clan and Kutun. A total of 1.3 million people were killed in battle, and the blood energy of the sky almost flushed the nearby forests.
Everyone didn't know how long the witch clan would start another war in the future. After doing all the best preparations, they seized time to rest.
Tianyao also summoned everyone again and told his plans.
"I want to go back to the Battle Mountains first"
After spending some verbal convincing everyone, Tianyao embarked on his way to the Battle Mountains alone.
But before that, he has one more thing to do.
The ancient mountains at night are much colder than during the day, and the fog and undissipated blood energy make this space more gloomy.
At this time, a figure was shuttled through the mountains and forests at high speed, just like Yun Tianyao who left everyone to get on the road alone.
The thick fog was useless to him, and he developed a little more magical effect of the Pupil of Destruction.
Whenever he passes by a witch camp, he will mark it on a map and also draw the route along the way to ensure that it is of great detail.
However, before approaching the central army, he stuffed the map into the feet of the bird he was holding in his hand, let it fly, and watched it fall into the night sky and fly southward.
He believed that Tianxiang would definitely take action after obtaining this map, even if the fog had not dissipated.
What made Tianyao feel a little relieved was that the number of Wu clan soldiers was no longer superior to the Beizhou coalition. In order to avoid alarming the snake, Tianyao bypassed the Wu clan army far away on the road afterwards. But the direction he was moving forward seemed not to be Tuba Volcano, but to the original War Clan Holy Mine King Mountain.
A day later, when Tianyao rushed to the foot of Leigong Mountain that year, he was surprised to find that the entire mountain had been razed to the ground, and the cloud shuttle that was regarded as a rock on the top of the mountain did not fly away.
Tian Yao could guess one or two with a brief thought. The scene of him fighting against the bombardment of several witch clans with the Cloud Passage that day really shocked many people.
Since the Cloud Shuttle was refined by Tianyao with essence and blood, he used the secret technique to find out its current location and was not far from here. Tianyao decided to go there first to check it. If possible, he still hopes to retrieve the Cloud Shuttle, which can greatly save him the time he spends on the road in the future.
But the world did not meet people's wishes. On that day, Tianyao came five miles away from where the Yun Shuai was, and felt a powerful pressure that shocked him. It was a super power that only the great master of the Saint-level rank could possess.
The wave in my heart also showed that the witch clan's holy rank was trying to forcibly conquer the Cloud Shuttle.
A hint of mockery appeared on Tian Yao's face. It was so easy to be subdued by the Cloud Shuttle refined by the Earth Saint. It was really a daydream.
But this also puts a serious fact in front of Tianyao. The witch clan really has a holy rank, which is definitely a huge bad news for Beizhou. If the witch clan is really related to the invasion of the Nanzhou and is even more unharmed in the changes in the sky, then this battle will really have a slim chance of winning.
After thinking about it, Tianyao decided to change his mind and give up seizing the Cloud Shuttle. After all, with his current strength, he could not do the feat of pulling his teeth from the hands of the Saint Step.
But just as he was about to turn around, a silver light suddenly flew out from the south not far from him, rushing towards the place where the cloud shuttle was located at a very fast speed. Soon, it collided with the aura emitted by the witch clan's holy stairs, and then fled far away.
The witch clan's holy rank would not let this hateful guy go easily, so he quickly flew to chase him and left here soon.
"Can that silver light be,,?"
Tianyao was a little surprised by the sudden change, but soon came to his senses. He knew that he would not admit his mistake. The silver light was clearly the banshee who helped him many times. What purpose did she do? Why did she help him again and again, and at the most critical moment, did she always follow her from beginning to end?
