"Wait!" When Commander Lang saw that the two sides had started fighting again, he quickly raised his hand to stop them.
"Young Master, let's stop after we take Xiaoque City. That old woman is stubborn and won't back down until she's dead. Let's not waste any more time arguing with her," the Second Elder advised from the side.
"That's right, the Yi Clan's army has already been wiped out by us. How many can be left here? Before their reinforcements arrive, let's quickly seize Little Sparrow City. Why waste any more words..."
"Young Master, I think the Second Elder makes a good point..."
"The opportunity to fight is fleeting, and this is the perfect chance to wipe out the Yi tribe! Brothers, charge!"
...
The crowd was all talking at once; some were still trying to persuade Lang, while others had already rushed forward.
"You... be careful! Just repel the Yi Clan, don't pursue them anymore!" Commander Lang hesitated for a moment, seeing that the powerful figures were all in agreement and the battle was beyond saving, so he said no more.
After all, Commander Lang had no intention of annihilating the Yi tribe; he only hoped to gain more benefits. In addition, the sudden outbreak of war went against his original wishes, so he wanted to observe the development of the battlefield before making any plans. Therefore, he did not immediately send troops to cut off the Yi tribe's army's passage into Xiaoque City.
Zhang Huang's army had a three-sided encirclement of Xiaoque City, continuously attacking it from the east, west, and south. Lady Lian knew that the Yi tribe was not as strong as the Zhang Huang tribe at this time, so she took the initiative to shrink the battle line and give up most of the area in Xiaoque City.
The battle took place in the Mud Pillar Forest north of Little Sparrow City, forming a narrow ring around the road into the city, almost from the beginning it was destined to be a brutal war of attrition.
The two sides mainly relied on ground troops to fight each other. Although there was always a battle between powerful figures in the sky, top powerful figures of the Zhanghuang clan, such as Commander Lang and the Second Elder, did not go up.
Similarly, Lady Lian had already moved outside Little Sparrow City, with the remaining personal warriors surrounding her, and did not enter the city to participate in the battle.
The ground armies on both sides seemed endless, and within Little Sparrow City, it was as if several giant meat grinders were in operation, turning countless low-level Yi and Zhanghuang clans into mincemeat.
The battle lines of both sides were intertwined. Where the ground armies of the two races met, a ring-shaped mountain of corpses quickly took shape among the mud pillar forest, gradually piling up to more than half the height of the mud pillars on both sides. The battlefield of both sides also moved to the top of the corpse mountain.
The two armies descended from the mud pillars beside the mountain of corpses like waterfalls to the summit, while on the other side they surged up the mountain like a rising tide.
The two sides fought wave after wave, falling one after another. As Wang Yao watched, he gradually lost the ability to distinguish which corpses on the mountain of corpses were insect corpses and which were living insects. The dead and the living were all entangled together.
Due to the urgency of Lady Lian's order for the third wave of reinforcements, the second and third waves of reinforcements were almost simultaneous, and the Yi Clan reinforcements continued to enter Little Sparrow City in an endless stream.
As reinforcements continued to arrive, the number of B-clan warriors also increased. However, apart from the circular mountain of corpses being raised meter by meter, the battlefield situation did not change much.
"Notify all twelve mother cities closest to this location, excluding Xiaomei City, to come to Xiaoque City to assist in the battle." After observing the battlefield situation for about half a day, Lady Lian issued the order again at midnight.
The secondary mother nest's combat power ranks second among the B race, only weaker than Lady Lian, and generally higher than most of the B race's powerful beings.
Therefore, ordering the secondary mother nest to assist in the battle will greatly enhance the strength of the Yi race in terms of powerful beings. It seems that Lady Lian is planning to engage in a decisive battle with the Zhang Huang race in terms of powerful beings.
However, once the secondary mother nest is activated, its sub-city will also be mobilized, and all twelve cities will become empty cities. These are almost all the cities of the Yi tribe near the border between the Yi tribe and the Zhanghuang tribe.
If we win this battle, it will be fine, but if we lose, there will be no more obstacles on the Zhanghuang clan's pursuit route. Lady Lian will have nowhere to rest when she escapes, and the Yi clan's losses will be far more than just a small Que City. Therefore, this will be a true life-or-death battle.
"Mother Empress, something seems amiss with Zhang Huang's side..." As dawn approached, Xiao Juan, who had been overseeing the battle at the front lines, suddenly flew back to Lady Lian's side to report.
Wang Yao looked at the corpse mountain shrouded in night. He saw insects swarming on it, seemingly nothing unusual. But then he realized something was wrong. The two sides had been fighting each other on the top of the corpse mountain, with back and forth going. But now, it was clear that the Yi Clan army was sweeping over the corpse mountain.
"Be careful, it might be a trap. Once the army has driven Zhang Huang out of Xiaoque City, stop advancing and wait for reinforcements to arrive," Lady Lian ordered calmly.
"No, Mother! It seems that the Zhang and Huang traitors have started fighting amongst themselves!" Xiao Juan said anxiously.
"Internal strife? What happened?" Lady Lian asked in astonishment, her figure suddenly rising to the air.
"I'm not sure. I noticed that all of Zhang Huang's powerful figures retreated, and I thought I saw Commander Lang fighting with someone from afar. We can't possibly get close to him, so I guess it can only be that there was internal strife within Zhang Huang's ranks," Xiao Juan replied.
As Xiao Juan spoke, Lady Lian had already led Wang Yao and Hui Shuo towards the Corpse Mountain. She hovered on the top of the Corpse Mountain and saw that the Zhang Huang Clan army was in retreat ahead, and there was nothing above them. The hundreds or thousands of Zhang Huang Clan powerhouses who had been hovering there had all left.
"Where...where have they all gone?" Lady Lian looked at everything before her, her words filled with great confusion.
"Huh? I just saw them." Xiao Juan caught up and was also confused when she saw this scene.
“Something urgent must have happened. Look, their army has completely lost its fighting spirit, and there are even signs of them killing each other.” Lady Lian lowered her head and looked down at her feet. Zhang Huang’s army was no longer organized and was being slaughtered by the Yi tribe.
