Chapter 400: Deterrence
“…”
Now, the Ice Tribe lying in the grass was as quiet as a chicken, and no one dared to make a sound.
Bai Li patrolled several times but found nothing.
Because there were too many people below, it was difficult for her to use her spiritual sense.
At this time, Bai Zongren and his men had finished cleaning up the battlefield and were moving the bodies to prepare for cremation.
Strange, no one from the Ice Tribe came?
Their white hair is conspicuous even in the dark night.
But just now she looked carefully in the air and did not see the figure of the white-haired man.
But they clearly left before her father and the others, so there was no reason why they hadn't arrived yet.
unless……
They came but did not take any action, hiding aside and watching the fun.
So, where are they hiding?
Bai Li's eyes swept across the area like a detector. The people of the Ice Tribe lying in the grass didn't dare to breathe, and didn't dare to move even when they were bitten by insects or crawled over by snakes.
After a while, the stench of burning corpses came, and the air was full of that smell. Bai Li covered his mouth and hurriedly called for Da Diao to leave.
Of the 100,000 Laotian troops, 70,000 to 80,000 were killed, the rest were wounded or disabled, and a small number surrendered.
However, it will take at least until dawn to burn tens of thousands of corpses!
The people lying in the grass were already suffocating to the point of their lungs bursting, and the leader was both angry and upset.
"Everyone's gone, let's leave here quietly!"
At his command, everyone scrambled to crawl away in the grass.
After walking ten miles, the team stopped.
"Damn it! The bodies have all been burned. Where are we going to find corpses to train our soldiers?"
"Chief, I told you that witch doctor was unreliable. He even wanted to find corpses to make soldiers. Now finding corpses is harder than recruiting soldiers!"
"The Great Zhou army is so powerful! Our abilities are nothing compared to theirs!"
"That thunder just now, just the sound of it made my heart pound!"
"And those sentries are so tightly deployed that not even a fly can get through!"
"The Great Zhou army is so powerful! If we meet them head-on, we will only be beaten!"
"Chief, I, I want to go home!"
A shorter, older man with a sad face spoke timidly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately exploded.
"Chief, I, I also want to go home."
"Although it's a bit cold where we are, life is peaceful. We don't have to fight with others. As long as we have enough charcoal, we won't freeze to death."
"Even if people froze to death, they were only a few of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. But this war is different. They can just wipe out our entire clan without any hesitation!"
"That's right, Patriarch, give the order!"
The leader of the Ice Tribe, who was also their patriarch, had witnessed the power of the Great Zhou Army and had already backed down.
Hearing this, my heart couldn't help but waver.
"But the witch doctors..."
"Chief, the three witch doctor brothers are all untrustworthy villains. They have already gone against our original agreement. There is no need for us to get involved with them."
"Yes, they are too ambitious and want to rule the entire basin. It's simply a foolish dream!"
"We won't come to the basin anymore. It's good to stay in our area. At least we won't be wiped out!"
"The Chi tribe was supposed to come and help, but there's not a single one in sight!"
"Their young master, Fan Jian, knows how to assess the situation. It would be wise for him not to come!"
Not everyone in their Ice Tribe knew strange tricks. Only the three witch doctor brothers had learned these unorthodox ways. They were the tribe's hereditary witch doctors. While they were away...
The clan leader frowned and thought for a while, then made up his mind and waved his hand, "Let's go home!"
"Okay! Let's go home!"
They were talking about going home, not going back abroad.
Only now did they realize that the place made of ice that was engraved in their bones was the home of their ancestors for generations.
Bai Li, who returned to the barracks, had no idea that the Ice Tribe she was guarding against had quietly withdrawn from the basin battle under the shock of her thunder.
When the sky brightened, all the bodies turned to ashes.
Qianxi won a great victory as expected, and Bai Li wanted to return to Simon.
The jade pendant on her chest felt hot, and she reached out and took it out.
"What's going on?"
I have always worn the jade pendant close to my skin and it has never gotten hot.
Staring at the strands of emerald green patterns inside, I discovered that a faint trace of blood had appeared in the middle of the emerald green.
The blood thread was like an eel swimming slowly, and Bai Li felt inexplicably panicked when he saw it.
Is Namgoong Min in danger?
She went to her father and tendered her resignation.
"You're leaving?"
"There are still some small forces on Simon's side, and I am worried about Nangong Min."
"Yes, he's short of soldiers and generals. It's going to be a lot of work for him to take over a defeated country all by himself. You should go back quickly!"
Bai Zongren suppressed his reluctance and waved to his daughter.
His precious daughter, who was like the apple of his eye, was only with him for a few days.
She's engaged and will soon belong to someone else. Before they get married, I wish I could have her around me and chattering every day.
Unfortunately, both father and daughter are generals, so it is impossible for them to live in the homes of ordinary people and have a family reunion.
There are gains and losses, perhaps this is the life of their family.
The reluctance in Bai Li's heart disappeared when her father waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.
"Dad, I'm leaving now!"
"Let's go!"
What are you hesitating about? If you continue to hesitate, you will see your dad make a fool of himself!
Bai Zongren turned around and quietly wiped the corner of his eyes.
Bai Li suppressed the bitterness in his heart and left angrily.
On Simon's side, the witch doctor found King Kong a few days ago. He enslaved several snow wolf corpses and attacked the Qiangzhou defenders many times.
Dozens of defenders were killed or injured. Bai Dalang had no way to deal with the witch doctor, so he had to send a message to Nangong Min for help.
After receiving the letter, Nangong Min immediately rushed to Qiangzhou from the capital of Ximeng.
On the first day, I met the witch doctor.
The witch doctor hated him for stealing Bai Li away, and Nangong Min hated him for daring to covet his fiancée and had secretly tried to harm him many times. With new and old grudges, the two started fighting without saying a word.
Nangong Min's martial arts were acquired through hard training since childhood. The witch doctor had a good foundation in martial arts, but he knew many unconventional tricks. After just a few moves, Nangong Min suffered a great loss and was knocked down by a puff of smoke. He was almost abducted by the witch doctor.
When Bai Dalang saw this, he immediately called on several brothers to focus on the three brothers, and left the snow wolf corpses to the soldiers to deal with.
In order to protect Nangong Min, all the brothers fought for their lives.
King Kong stood in front of Nangong Min. After eating a few claws from the snow wolf's corpse, King Kong suddenly became anxious and his potential burst out again. He became as tall as a tower again, with strength enough to destroy the world.
When the witch doctor saw King Kong like this, he laughed out loud with joy.
"I've been working on this for years, and finally succeeded! This is my greatest masterpiece!"
Suddenly a huge hand fell from the sky and completely enveloped the witch doctor, but he was completely unaware!
