Chapter 41: Suspicious
Compared with Tianyao and them, Eliza seemed very calm, but persuaded everyone to look away, at least, God did not take away her life, and let her see Tianyao and them, which is already a mercy.
It took several days for everyone's emotions to really calm down and accept this reality.
After preliminary statistics, the Crimson Imperial City suffered more than 500,000 casualties in this battle, of which 150,000 were soldiers, and more than 300,000 people in the outer city were all killed.
Almost all the buildings are damaged to varying degrees, and the civil and military officials have also lost as much as 30%, especially the middle and low-level military generals, who have no chance to escape when they charge on the front line.
Because Eliza's current situation is too special to govern the government anymore, after thinking twice, she decided to draft a decree and declare Anna to act as the government and be in charge of the military and political affairs of the empire.
Considering that Wan Qingsong is dead, the situation of the empire is critical, and his henchmen have not done anything harmful to the interests of the empire during the coup, at the behest of Eliza, Anna issued a pardon decree to exempt these officials from capital crimes, and ordered them to make meritorious contributions to the crime and rebuild their homes.
After Tianxiang's further on-the-spot inspection and research on the monsters in his hands, it was found that as long as they were given enough nutrients, they could theoretically evolve endlessly, but it is not yet known whether they can break through to the Holy Rank, and there is also a certain limit in the number of evolutions, which is also a great luck in misfortune.
At present, it has been concluded that ten king-level monsters can evolve into one emperor-level monster, and a hundred emperor-level monsters can evolve into one emperor-level monster, which is nine times higher than the proportion of human beings who only have one emperor in one hundred king-level and one emperor in a thousand-rank emperor.
And some ordinary humans are not even at the military level, but these monsters have the lowest king rank, which is the most fundamental difference between the two races, the qualitative gap.
Now there is another difficult problem in front of Tianyao, that is, to immediately set off to the dark blue to fight the monsters, or to use crimson as the base point, stabilize the situation for Anna first, and then wait for Kutun reinforcements to send troops together.
However, after Tianyao and the others learned the news, they immediately made a decision.
After leaving 20,000 soldiers as the basic guards to maintain the imperial city, the Yun clan officially waved the dark blue, and this time, Tianyao did not choose to divide the army, but the whole army was dispatched.
A full 380,000 elites of all races, with a resolute and supreme sense of mission, embarked on the journey, although everyone knew what it meant, but no one flinched, because their commander was always in front of them.
What made them feel even more reassured was that the five hundred emperor-rank dragons opened the way in front, exuding a super might, in addition, Xiang'er's army of dark moon demon beasts also officially joined, under the supply of massive soul-devouring silkworms, hundreds of thousands of demon beasts have all broken through to the king level, including a full 50,000 emperor-level demon beasts, I have to say that the physique of demon beasts is too strong compared to humans.
In the middle of the army, Tianyao rode on the Sky Devouring Beast and asked to the person on the left, "Xiao Wu, are you sure that the number of the Kutun army exceeds one million?"
The person who was called Xiao Wu was a thin young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but there was no immaturity between his eyebrows, his eyes were dark, bright, and his appearance was very delicate, but he did not lose his masculinity.
"Uncle Tianyao, I wasn't sure before, but if it was at least three or four times more than the army you led at this time, I would never be wrong about that! Moreover, when they passed through Liuli City, those powerful monsters were wiped out by them in a few moments, I have never seen such a powerful army!"
Xiao Wu replied in the affirmative, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"I know, but, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise, we will miss the opportunity, speaking of which, the little doll back then has grown so big, and her strength is not bad, she is a good seedling, your father must be very happy, right?"
Tianyao temporarily suppressed the surprise in his heart, and when he thought of the identity of the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"If there weren't a few uncles and aunts who helped back then, there would be no Xiao Wu today, if my father and mother learned that you were back, they would definitely be happy, I remember that in the past, they carried the most land every day Uncle Tianyao!"
Xiao Wu's words carried a hint of reverence and gratitude from the heart, the Yun clan, the light of hope, this is a legend that spreads throughout Crimson and even Beizhou.
"This Brother Zhang, it's really sad to only mention Big Brother and not me in front of you!"
At this time, Tianxiang suddenly joked on the side.
"It's my nephew who is stupid, how can I forget Uncle Tianxiang, my father relies on the tricks you make every day to move freely."
Xiao Wu hurriedly explained with a nervous expression.
"Hehe, I'll tease you, to be honest, when we see you, we know that Brother Zhang and they are fine, and we are relieved, in this way, you go to the front to find your Uncle Ouyang, show him the way, and when we see your father, we will talk in detail!"
"Okay!"
After Xiao Wu left, the eyes of the two brothers met, and Tianxiang spoke first.
"Big brother, you have come into contact with the Kutun Pioneer Army, how do they make you feel?"
Tianyao recalled for a moment and said:
"Due to the suddenness of the incident at that time, I was in a hurry to find Aunt Eliza, so I didn't carefully investigate their details, but I can confirm that the two generals have the strength of the emperor rank, and there are dozens of emperor rank venerables, and according to Tianyou, their number is about 400,000. ”
"That's strange, we didn't find any trace of Kutun reinforcements along the way, and in order to catch up with you earlier, except for the necessary rest, we spent all the time on the road, besides, Surente just put it back not long ago, even if they put on their wings, it is impossible to reach the Crimson Imperial City before us!"
Tianxiang paused and continued to ask his own questions.
"Also, Xiao Wu said that the number of Kutun's army is at least three or four times that of ours, which means that they have mobilized an army of nearly 1.6 million this time, which is almost the entire military strength of the Kutun Empire, which is unreasonable and not in the interests of Surent, not to mention, there is still a certain gap between their strength and ours, why can they sweep the monster army of Liuli City, even if they have a numerical advantage, it is impossible to do this. ”
Hearing Tianxiang mention this, Tianyao also seemed to think of something, and added: "One thing I think is quite strange, after they finished the rescue that day, they left without saying hello, and when they counted the casualties afterwards, they didn't find the bodies of the Kutun soldiers, could they have taken them away?"
Tianxiang closed his eyes and kept calculating the mysteries hidden behind these unreasonableness, but he always felt that he seemed to have missed something, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only give up.
