Chapter 704: Withdraw troops, rest and prepare for war!
The war is about to break out.
Soon, Mrs. Xue's battle order reached the front line.
"This is destined to be a bloody battle. You two must stay in the camp and not go out without my permission. Remember this!"
When the Grand Marshal Monta received the battle order from Madam Xue, he immediately warned Man Lei and Zhuge Yi.
"General Meng, my cultivation has now reached the middle stage of the Void Realm. There will be no danger for me around you. I can also learn some combat command skills. Just take me with you." Man Lei was full of fighting spirit and clasped his hands together to ask for orders.
Zhuge Yi also said, "Please rest assured, General Meng, we are just learning from experience so that we can prepare for the future defense of the territory."
"I told you, this is a bloody battle."
Monta decisively refused, "It's also a big deal for you two to stay in the camp and pacify the rear."
"Meng Shuai..."
"Okay, I have made up my mind about this matter. You two don't need to say anything more." Monta waved his hand and flatly rejected the subsequent requests from Man Lei and the others.
"Then what exactly are we going to do here?" Zhuge Yi asked relentlessly.
Monta first glanced north. "As I expected, the Dark Realm inhabitants of the Northern Di Land are ready to make a move. They intend to attack Zhou Jin from both sides. Given the current strength of our allies, we might have to sacrifice half of our soldiers to win this battle."
"howl……"
At this moment, dozens of blue-lightning Rocs controlled by members of the Ji family flew over at low altitude, howling.
"Alright, the war is about to begin. You two should stay at the camp and gather information about us and Gengjin City. Then relay it to both sides without any mistakes."
After Monta gave his orders, he rushed towards the place where the Allied forces were gathering.
Only Man Lei and Zhuge Yi were left there.
"Let's go and follow Commander Meng's orders."
Zhuge Yi walked quickly towards the camp.
Man Lei sighed inwardly and had to give up.
However, he still sent a message to his grandfather Manlong through the jade talisman.
When he learned that Manlong and his family were stationed north of Gengjin City to prepare for the upcoming Dark Domainers, he immediately made a decision.
"Zhuge Yi, you stay in the camp and collect information about the battle on General Meng's side. I will return to Gengjin City to meet up with my grandfather. He is about to fight against the Dark Domainers. All my people are there, so I must go." Man Lei made a decisive decision.
"Well, go ahead. I will explain to Marshal Meng for you. Take care!" Zhuge understood and said goodbye to Man Lei immediately.
at the same time.
South of Gengjin City, inside the camp of the Zhou Dynasty's 500,000-strong army.
Zhou Jin was drinking a glass of fine wine alone, squinting his eyes and thinking about things.
"My Lord, you are indeed very clever. The Dark Realm invaders only alerted the enemy, and Gengjin City issued the order to start a war."
An old veteran bowed beside Zhou Jin.
This veteran was none other than Ji Keyan, the governor of the Southern Territory of the Zhou Dynasty. Now he was appointed by Zhou Jin as the vanguard marshal.
"In that case, Marshal Ji, I'll trouble you to lead the troops into battle." Zhou Jin gestured for Ji Keyan to sit down, then personally poured a bowl of wine. "Come, I will help you win the first battle and return safely!"
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Ji Keyan drank the wine in big gulps, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please wait in the tent for good news. I will set off now."
"good!"
Zhou Jin also stood up at this time and personally escorted Ji Keyan out of the tent.
Looking at the 500,000-strong army rubbing their hands in readiness, each showing their eagerness for a battle, he smiled with satisfaction.
When he started the war this time, he was waiting for the Dark Realm people to alert the enemy.
Then force Gengjin City to start the war first, so that the world will not accuse him of starting the war first!
And all of this was planned by him and Ye Yanluo, the King of the Dark Realm.
"Old lady Xue, you worked so hard to build this business, but you still lost to me, didn't you?" Zhou Jin seemed to have seen Xue Hongyu's frustrated expression.
…
3:00 p.m.
A great battle officially began ten kilometers south of Gengjin City.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, with an army of 500,000 led by the vanguard commander Ji Keyan, seemed to have entered an uninhabited area, and marched towards Gengjin City in a massive mass.
In the direction of Gengjin City, the largest Blue Lightning Roc was in the lead, followed by nine smaller Blue Lightning Rocs rushing in the front.
The human warriors, led by the Grand Marshal Monta, were divided into the left and right wings to encircle the Zhou Dynasty army that was attacking in a massive manner.
"Oh my God! Look, that's a giant bird!"
"Not just one, but several!"
"not good!"
"That's the Blue Lightning Eagle, it has lightning properties. Everyone, be careful to avoid it and don't gather together. Quick! Quick!!!"
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty looked up and saw the blue-lightning roc roaring. Suddenly, hurricanes appeared and blew the soldiers who were rushing in the front dozens of miles away.
Not only that, under the thunder attack released by the Blue Lightning Peng, groups of Zhou Dynasty soldiers fell down.
This is just the power released by one Blue Lightning Roc. What if there are ten of them?
This goes without saying.
After the battle lasted for three hours, the 500,000-strong army of the Zhou Dynasty had been defeated, and this was just the attack launched by the Blue Lightning Dapeng.
The human warriors led by Monta still retained their strength. According to Xue Hongyu's instructions, when they saw the Zhou Dynasty soldiers, they first persuaded them to surrender with kind words, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
After the battle lasted for five hours, it was already getting dark.
The Zhou Dynasty's army of 500,000 now has less than 300,000.
"My Lord, something terrible is happening!"
Finally, Ji Keyan, the vanguard commander of the Zhou Dynasty, had to send a message to Zhou Jinyufu, "The enemy has Blue Lightning Rocs, all of whom have cultivation levels above the seventh level of the Supreme Realm, and one has already reached the Half-Step Sky Breaking Realm. The attacks of the Blue Lightning Rocs alone have already caused 90,000 casualties, and at least 130,000 soldiers have surrendered to Gengjin City!"
"Withdraw troops, return to camp, rest and prepare for battle!"
After Zhou Jin received the news, his face turned pale and he had to issue an order to cease fire and withdraw troops.
Although, he had expected it.
But he never expected that the battle only lasted for half a day and he lost one third of his soldiers!
"Ye Yanluo! You actually betrayed me!"
He pushed all the responsibility onto Ye Yanluo, with whom he had reached a cooperation.
Immediately, he sent a message through his jade talisman, "Ye Yanluo, you are so calculating! Half a day has passed, and you still haven't joined the battle. What does this mean?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Yanluo said seriously, "Zhou Jin, a momentary success or failure is not enough to judge a hero. When two armies fight, only time can tell. And my Earth Dragon Beast has been heading south. Why do you say that we didn't participate in the battle?"
"It's been half a day, and your Earth Dragon Beast hasn't reached Gengjin City yet?" Zhou Jin was in disbelief and angrily asked, "Didn't you say your Earth Dragon Beast is an earth-attributed demon beast? Shouldn't it be able to move freely underground? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
"Zhou Jin, you still don't believe me?"
Ye Yanluo's tone also turned a little colder. "It's true that my Earth Dragon Beast has the earth attribute, but its cultivation is only at the Golden Core Realm after all. Do you think it's easy to penetrate the underground rocks? Don't worry, tomorrow morning, 100,000 Earth Dragon Beasts will arrive at Gengjin City. When that happens, you can launch another attack, and we will attack from both sides. Let's see how Gengjin City can survive!"
"In this case, I will trust you again!"
Zhou Jin closed the Jade Talisman transmission and started it again with his son Zhou Huanyu, "Huanyu, is your wife back?"
His daughter-in-law Xuanyuan Qin once talked in her sleep that she wanted to become a Taoist couple with Ye Mu and practice dual cultivation. Now she has disappeared for many days without any news, which makes him feel very anxious.
