A scout came from inside Meng Tian's tent to report: "Reporting to the commander! The group of human cultivators did indeed break through today! But the main force attacked from the north gate!"
Meng Tian was momentarily stunned, then laughed and said, "A bunch of idiots! Charging out from the north gate will only take them further and further away from the main passage back to the Immortal Continent! Aren't they courting death? Issue my order: mobilize one million troops to hunt them down! One million troops to continue the siege, and the remaining one million to launch a fierce attack on the south gate!"
Liu Gen was in a meeting with the six empresses when someone suddenly reported: "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, Emperor Meng Tian has dispatched one million men to hunt down Emperor Fei Hu, and the remaining one million men have surrounded the entire Blackblood City. Currently, one million men are attacking the south gate! Our side is firing crossbow bolts to repel the enemy, and we expect to run out of bolts in three minutes!"
Liu Gen nodded and said, "Alright! Jiang Li, you will lead Yao Ji and Liu Yanrong with 20,000 elite troops to guard the south gate. With the help of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Counterattack Formation, you don't need to leave the city. Just defend Black Blood City! Bi Yao, Luo Xue, and Wan Xian, each of you will lead 3,000 elite troops to protect the buildings and the safety of women and children in the city!"
After the work was arranged, everyone performed their duties, while Liu Gen stood on the highest observation platform in the city to get a full view of the battle and was in a central command position!
At this moment, Huang Feihu charged out from the north gate, only to find that the north gate garrison numbered only 300,000!
Although these 300,000 people are numerous, their overall combat strength is far inferior to the 70,000 people led by Huang Feihu!
In particular, the North Gate guard only has one Immortal Emperor expert. The total number of Immortal Emperor experts in the evil cult was already reduced by one-third after the battle decades ago. Two years ago, Liu Gen led a large army to sweep through the back of the Immortal Gang Continent, killing the Fire Cloud Evil Lord and the Ghost Evil Lord with a thunderous strike. After that, he attacked Black Blood City and killed three more Immortal Emperors. Now, the number of Immortal Emperor experts in the entire evil cult is less than 20!
Faced with the Immortal Emperor blocking the North Gate, Huang Feihu immediately ordered all the Immortal Emperors to launch a group attack!
The heretical immortal emperor was dumbfounded!
One person could withstand 20 Immortal Emperors at the same time, but he was blasted into dust in just ten seconds!
Subsequently, Huang Feihu led his men to break through the encirclement with unstoppable momentum, killing more than 200,000 of the 300,000 cultists at the North Gate!
Just then, another million people split into two groups to encircle and kill Huang Feihu!
Huang Feihu sneered, "Everyone, listen to my command, turn around, and charge back into Blackblood City to protect your wives and children!"
After saying this, the 70,000 elite troops not only did not flee, but instead charged back!
The cult guards who were originally stationed at the North Gate thought that Huang Feihu and his men had escaped and were just feeling lucky to have survived. But they never expected that he would come back! These people were immediately terrified and began to flee in all directions!
If you don't fight against Huang Feihu's troops, you have no idea how terrifying they are!
However, time was of the essence, and there was no time for them to escape. They launched a surprise attack and took the lives of tens of thousands of cult members!
After Huang Feihu led his men back to Blackblood City, the newly dispatched million-strong cult army surrounded the North Gate once again!
This time, the number of soldiers blocking the North Gate is more than three times that of the previous ones!
As soon as Huang Feihu entered the city, he immediately received an order from Liu Gen, the communications soldier!
"Flying Tiger Emperor! The Alliance Leader said to use the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Counterattack Formation to hold off the Emperor's attack for a while, and then launch another attack after the Emperor is inside!"
Huang Feihu nodded in agreement!
At this moment, the entire cult army was enraged and set ablaze!
Huang Feihu rushed out and killed nearly 300,000 members of the evil cult army, and even killed a commander with the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor on the spot, which made Meng Tian furious!
He personally led over a million troops to attack the north gate, while Zhang Liang, the Immortal Emperor, led 700,000 troops to attack the south gate! The remaining million troops completely surrounded the entire Blackblood City, not allowing a single fly to escape!
However, to Meng Tian's surprise, no matter how fiercely he attacked, he was repelled by the Blackblood City garrison!
After three fierce attacks, Meng Tian and Zhang Liang's evil cult army suffered nearly 30% losses! They still couldn't capture Blackblood City!
What does 30% mean? It means that nearly 500,000 more soldiers died!
At this moment, Meng Tian's strategist, Li Si, advised, "General! We have suffered heavy losses! In today's battle, we lost nearly 800,000 troops! Not only that, we also lost a Celestial Emperor! According to reports from the front lines, there are more than twenty Celestial Emperors in Black Blood City, and Huang Feihu's combat strength is no less than that of the Evil God. Moreover, there is an Empress at the south gate whose cultivation is also extremely high, second only to Huang Feihu! With so many Celestial Emperors and hundreds of Celestial Saints guarding the city, how can we possibly take it down?"
Meng Tian slammed his hand on the table, shattering it, and exclaimed, "Outrageous! Wasn't it said that the human cultivators in the city couldn't breathe properly and lacked immortal energy? How come they're all fighting like wolves and tigers, not at all like they're lacking food and fodder, but rather like they've been fattened up!"
Li Si said, "There are only two explanations! First, they have an enormous reserve of immortal jade! It's possible that they almost emptied most of the strategic reserves on the front side of the Immortal Gang Continent to fight this battle! As for the other, it's that they have adapted to life on the back side of the Immortal Gang Continent, their bodies have evolved, and they are now able to absorb this kind of immortal energy with evil intentions!"
Meng Tian slammed his cup down and said, "What should we do now? We've been besieging them for so long without success, are we just going to continue the siege?"
Li Si nodded and said, "That's how it should be! Let's inform the Evil God about the situation here first and let him make the decision!"
Meng Tian nodded and said, "Good! Send the order to retreat!"
To Meng Tian's dismay, just as he ordered a retreat, Huang Feihu led nearly 70,000 elite human troops out to attack again!
He still had about 700,000 troops left, which was 10 times the number of Huang Feihu's men, but they were so terrified by Huang Feihu that they dared not fight!
