Lin Xiaofei carefully observed for a while, hiding his figure to avoid being discovered by some cultivators nearby.
Meanwhile, the group of demon warriors hid near the entrance to the White Tiger's lair, waiting for the demon warriors to attack the defensive array.
"This demon army has at least 500,000 demon warriors, and the demonic aura emanating from them gives people a powerful sense of oppression."
While attacking the defensive array, they also used demonic energy to erode it. It wouldn't be long before they broke through the array.
Lin Xiaofei watched as the demon army attacked the shimmering array and muttered to himself.
Looking at the overwhelming demon army, he thought to himself that if they charged into the White Tiger's lair, it could very well trigger another great battle.
During the waiting period, not wanting to waste time, he silently circulated his immortal techniques, trying his best to improve his cultivation.
...
"These demon warriors are too fierce. We are struggling to hold them off. What should we do?"
On the battlefield, a demon king commanding a horde of monsters frowned and spoke.
"We will stop them even if we can't. Even if we die, we will swear to be loyal to the White Tiger Clan."
Another demon king, who commanded the horde of monsters, spoke up.
The other demon kings, their eyes darting around and their brows furrowed, remained silent.
Among them, a third-tier eagle king, commanding the warriors of the giant ape clan, was always looking around, observing its surroundings.
He was merely a minor demon king of the Giant Ape clan, temporarily commanding the battlefield. He would return after the Giant Barbarian Demon King returned to his lair and killed the human cultivator who had intruded into the Giant Ape clan's territory.
However, the Giant Demon King had originally said he would return in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Now, three incense sticks' worth of time have passed, and the Giant Barbarian Demon King has not returned, which makes him very anxious.
The third-tier Eagle King, holding the banner of the Giant Ape Clan, commands the Giant Ape Clan's demon beast horde in battle.
As time went on, the Eagle King realized that he was making many mistakes in commanding the giant ape clan's monster horde against the demon army, which made him extremely anxious.
At the same time, he also really wanted to leave this place.
However, before the Giant Demon King returned, the Third-Order Eagle King dared not leave without permission.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Under the command of the third-tier Eagle King, the giant ape demon beast horde gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and many giant ape demon beasts were blasted to death by the demon warriors.
"It's over, it's over. A large number of giant ape monsters have died under my command, and the number of deaths is increasing rapidly."
If the Great Barbarian King returns, he will surely tear me apart and skin me alive.
What should I do? Should I continue directing from here?
The third-tier Eagle King stood behind a group of giant ape demons, holding a command flag and waving it left and right, feeling extremely uneasy.
"Brother Eagle, how come your command skills are so poor?"
"If this continues, how long do you think my giant ape army can hold out?"
At this moment, a peak third-tier giant ape demon king hurriedly came over and asked.
"Your king has now returned to the giant ape clan's lair to kill a human cultivator."
Before he left, the king entrusted me with the task of commanding the army in battle, but I do not know how to command the army in battle.
If this continues, I estimate that the remaining giant ape warriors will be killed in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The third-tier Eagle King frowned and spoke directly.
"What?
So, you mean that in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, my giant ape warriors will be wiped out by the demons?
The third-tier giant ape demon king standing to the side stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock.
"Yes, but this isn't my fault."
As you know, I don't know how to command troops. What do you think we should do?
The third-tier Eagle King said dejectedly.
At this moment, he was actually afraid. If all the warriors of the Giant Ape Clan were killed, the Demon King of the Giant Ape Clan would definitely come after him.
By then, his body will be gone without a trace.
"As long as the King returns, I believe he will be able to lead us to better resist the invasion of the demons. Do you know when the King will return?"
The third-tier giant ape demon king standing to the side had a flicker in his eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. Logically speaking, His Majesty should have returned long ago."
However, the king has been slow to arrive, so something must have happened, but we don't know why.
Since the king is not here, and I am the only one who will die if I command them in battle, it is better to let the warriors of the giant ape clan die.
"What do you think? Should I order the giant ape warriors to withdraw?"
The third-tier Eagle King hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"This one?"
The giant ape beside him, its brow furrowed, watched its clansmen die one by one, gritted its teeth, and a resolute look appeared on its face. It directly seized the command flag from the third-tier eagle king's hand and shouted loudly:
Warriors of the Giant Ape Clan, our King has not returned yet. Something must have happened. I fear that he has been harmed by some treacherous person.
Therefore, I have decided to lead you away from the battlefield to rescue our king.
As he spoke, he raised the command flag in his hand and waved it in a circle, first to the left and then to the right.
Immediately, the giant ape monster horde that was fighting against the demon warriors gradually withdrew.
"What's going on? Look, the giant ape clan's demon beast horde actually dared to retreat on their own?"
"The giant ape clan is incredibly audacious."
Are we just going to evacuate without orders from the White Tiger Clan?
Even if the White Tiger Clan defeats the Demon Army, or even if the Demon Army breaks through the White Tiger Clan's formation, it doesn't necessarily mean they can wipe out the White Tiger Clan.
"When the war ends, the White Tiger clan will definitely settle accounts with the Giant Ape clan."
The other demonic beast groups fighting in the distance started discussing as they saw the giant ape clan retreating.
The White Tiger clan is the behemoth of this demon territory, and its leader is so powerful that almost no one dares to disobey its orders.
Once the giant ape clan's monster horde withdraws from the battlefield, the demon army will swarm in. Although the demons are numerous, they may not be a match for the demon warriors.
Once a large number of demonic beasts are killed, the demon race will break through the White Tiger clan's defensive formation.
Then, the demonic cultivators of the demon race will enter the White Tiger clan's lair to seize the White Tiger clan's rare and precious treasures.
The other groups of demonic beasts, as well as the many demon kings, all knew this, but they dared not leave without permission.
After all, as long as the White Tiger Clan exists, they will always be a subordinate demon race of the White Tiger Clan and cannot leave on their own.
Are we about to evacuate?
The sight of the waving flag startled many of the giant ape's demonic beasts. They knew that waving the flag meant they should defend themselves while retreating.
Originally, they were ordered by the Great King of the Giant Barbarians to defend the White Tiger Clan's lair from the demons. However, the Great King is nowhere to be seen, which makes them somewhat worried.
