Chapter 44: Advance or Retreat?
With the defeat of the Dragon King, this battle that took place over the city of Dirui, which was neither big nor small, also came to an end.
The whole army was wiped out, except for the small number of people who fled back to the Imperial City through the teleportation array at the beginning, and in the face of the crazy encirclement and suppression of the Long family, none of the remaining men and horses in the Imperial Mansion survived.
The ruined city of Dirui has evolved into a ruin, the corpses everywhere, the blood that stained the earth a dark red, and the rich blood that floated in the air for a long time, all show the cruelty of this war.
In this battle, although all the people and horses of the Emperor's Mansion were annihilated, the disciples of the Long family were not without losses. Originally, there were more than 200 people, but at this moment, there were less than 150 people left, that is to say, the Long family lost at least 70 or 80 people, including two lower god kings and one middle god king.
If compared with the huge number of deaths of more than 600 people in the Imperial Palace, this battle of the Long family can undoubtedly be called an overwhelming victory, but sometimes the account is not calculated like this, because in the eyes of the Long family's own people, the other party's ten lives or even a hundred lives are far less important than their own life.
Fortunately, among the dead people of the Long family, only nearly half of them are truly dead, and most of the rest are still alive, and they may not have the opportunity to reshape their bodies in the future.
Next, it is the finishing touches, in fact, this work is also simple, just let the disciples of the Long family take back the corpses of their companions, and the rest will be completely handed over to Zhuo Tianzhao to deal with.
Clang.
A crisp bell rang.The long-distance bell that penetrated people's hearts even spread a hundred miles away.This time.Zhuo Tianzhao finally activated 100% of the Dragon Emperor's death knell ability.The huge bell body was like a mountain peak hanging over Dirui City.Half of Dirui City was shrouded in shadow.And the majestic suction power covered the entire Dirui City.
"Ah......h
"Don't......"
"Help me...... I don't want to die......"
"Bastard, Long Tianzhao, you can't die well, sooner or later there will be retribution......"
Immediately after, a series of heart-rending screams and invectives resounded endlessly, and the illusory souls with painful and hideous faces were pulled out of their dead bodies one after another, and quickly converged towards the bottom of the bell body.
The arm will never be able to twist the thigh, and in the face of the absolute strong suction of the Dragon Emperor's death knell, resistance will not affect the result at all, and at most he will die later.
And looking at this miserable scene, like hell on earth, many people in the Long family frowned, but Zhuo Tianzhao, who was the initiator, still looked as usual, unmoved.
Some people may think that Zhuo Tianzhao is very inhumane in doing this, but so what, for Zhuo Tianzhao, they are all enemies, and since they are enemies, they naturally have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Unconsciously, many disciples of the Long Family looked at Zhuo Tianzhao's gaze, and they were already filled with deep fear.
"This crazy guy." Long Yu Soul glanced at Zhuo Tianzhao with a stiff expression, and couldn't help but scold.
"Tianzhao, what do you think the emperor's expression will be when he senses that the dragon king is dead?" Long Yintian didn't object to Zhuo Tianzhao's move, but instead looked at those dying souls and made a joke, because once upon a time, he had experienced many scenes of cruel and panic that were even more cruel and panicked than today, so naturally he would not be moved by this.
"Expression." Zhuo Tianzhao was stunned when he heard this, and grinned. Maybe he will be shocked, he will feel incredible, or maybe he doesn't have the heart to care about the life or death of the dragon king now."
"Are you saying that he himself may have been exhausted in the South?" Long Yintian licked his chapped lips and smiled meaningfully.
"I don't know how strong the emperor is, I only know that when the king turned the humiliation he suffered thousands of years ago into a rage, there was no one in this world who could resist him, and this is the only thing I firmly believe." Recalling the scene when the Dragon King appeared shockingly, he killed the Blue King in seconds with an understatement.Zhuo Tianzhao is still in a trance.
Today, I saw the battle between Long Yintian and the Dragon King.The strength of these two is basically at the level of the Mansion Master.Zhuo Tianzhao thinks that he is far inferior to them.But he can still see some gaps clearly.But the Heavenly King is different.He is like a pool of backwater with no waves.It is so unfathomable.It is so unattainable.For Zhuo Tianzhao.Now he can be said to be completely unable to touch the level of the Heavenly King.So Zhuo Tianzhao almost dares to conclude that even if it is the level of Long Yintian.In front of the Heavenly King, it is just a child's trick.
"Oh, you really have so much faith in the Heavenly King." Long Yintian asked with interest.
"Yes." Zhuo Tianzhao nodded decisively. Maybe to say something that doesn't like it, even if you, the head of the family, can't survive a few tricks when facing the Heavenly King. Of course, this is just my personal feeling, and there is no basis for it."
"Heavenly King, is it really that strong?" Long Yintian's expression gradually became solemn. To tell you the truth, I didn't doubt your intuition, because at your level, the exact feeling of your body is far more real than what you see with the naked eye.
"Seriously, I don't know." Zhuo Tianzhao shrugged his shoulders helplessly.Actually, faintly.He already had an idea.Maybe the reason why the Heavenly King suddenly became more powerful.Maybe it was related to inheriting the energy of the Heavenly Emperor's relics.But this matter.Zhuo Tianzhao didn't intend to say it.It's not because of other miscellaneous reasons.It's just because it's not necessary.
“...... Okay. I don't talk about that for now, but what do you think we're going to do next?" Long Yintian didn't plan to get too entangled in the strength of the Heavenly King, and now that they were the top priority, they should carefully formulate the next plan of action.
"Now that the Dragon King is dead, the Emperor's Mansion is about to collapse, and the Emperor is leading a team to wage war with the Heavenly King's Mansion in the south. The garrison in the Emperor's Mansion is empty, so we naturally have to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and it is best to capture the Imperial City, otherwise how can we be worthy of the dead brothers." Long Yintian's voice fell, and before Zhuo Tianzhao could speak, Long Yu Soul had already spoken first.
Well, I have to admit that Long Yu's words are always very inflammatory, and this time is no exception.
Facts have proved that the death of the Dragon King is almost a turning point, and it has played a great role in enhancing the momentum of the Long family.
"Tianzhao, what do you think?" Ignoring the passionate disciples of the Long family around him, Long Yintian looked deeply at Zhuo Tianzhao, who was silent and silent, and asked lightly.
"If you really want to ask my opinion, I think it would be better for us to go back." Zhuo Tianzhao was silent for a moment, but the words spit out from his lips couldn't help but cause an uproar in the audience.No one would have thought that Zhuo Tianzhao, who hated the Emperor's Mansion so deeply, would choose to retreat at this time.
"Tianzhao, are you joking?" Long Yu Soul frowned and objected. If you go back now, it's better not to come back in the first place. You say that, but it's inevitably chilling, and we are fighting bloody battles today, and we have sacrificed so many family disciples, wouldn't it be meaningless?"
"How can it lose its meaning.Today's battle.We have almost wiped out the only remaining living force in the Imperial Palace.If we want to capture the Imperial City now, it will be like digging for something.But even if the entire Imperial Palace is occupied by us?Is there any point?" Zhuo Tianzhao took a deep breath and retorted in a deep voice:
"Now we have done enough, everything only depends on the results of the south, if we win, the emperor's mansion is leaderless, we can come and attack at any time, but if we are defeated, do you think we alone can defend the emperor's mansion, so instead of wasting our efforts at this time to attack an empty shell of the emperor's mansion, it is better to return to Xinglong City to recuperate, and wait for the battle in the south to be decided."
