Chapter 13: Painful Decisions

The battle came as scheduled, thinking that these were just random barricades laid by Tianyao and them when they fled, and the shamans easily cleared several lines of defense, but they were met with a head-on attack from the Kutun army at the sixth line of defense.

Countless possession techniques mixed with sharp blades took tens of thousands of lives in an instant, and after three rounds of throwing, tens of thousands of Kutun warriors on this defense line immediately retreated to the rear, leaving the Wu generals who were so angry that they were about to vomit blood to look at the messy battlefield and cry without tears.

However, they soon regrouped, but unfortunately they would be caught off guard by Kutun's army from time to time, and no one could have guessed that Situ Nan would bury troops in the first line of defense, and this kind of flexible deployment of military forces to play the enemy between applause and command ability opened Tianyao's party's eyes.

But the shaman seemed determined to break out of the ancient mountains, and in spite of casualties, he broke through seventy-two lines of defense in three hours, costing hundreds of lives for almost every step forward.

This kind of desperate offensive finally forced Situ Nan to order an all-out battle, if the other party was not stopped, once the battle line retreated beyond the ancient mountains, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The battle lasted for twelve hours, and perhaps because the Wu Clan's casualties exceeded expectations, they finally retreated ten miles and lined up their troops.

The Kutun army was also exhausted, and Tianyao arranged for the force battle and the orc garrison to replace the friendly troops.

Due to the tight situation in the previous battle, Situ Nan had time to count the results at this moment, but the figures he got were unimaginable.

Although they inflicted losses on the Wu Clan, 50,000 of them were killed and 80,000 were seriously wounded.

This was only the first battle, the casualties on both sides were so huge that it was simply terrifying, Situ Nan's face was already pale, and he was thinking about countermeasures while letting people clean up the battlefield.

It's a pity that the Wu Clan relied on the abundance of troops and only rested for three hours before starting to attack again, and this time, Tianyao took the initiative to send a force battle and the Orc army to participate in the garrison.

Another day of hard fighting, not to mention the losses of the Wu Clan, Tianyao's side sacrificed another 60,000 and seriously injured 100,000.

On the third day, 70,000 of Kutun's army were killed and 120,000 seriously wounded.

The massive sacrifices of the warriors made the nerves of all the generals jump to the extreme, if there is no one who has worked harder these days than them and those Emperor Venerables.

In order to minimize the damage of the warriors as much as possible, they must always fight on the front line, and they also have to fight against the Wu Venerable, although Tianyao's side has a lot of super combat power, but it can't withstand such a high-intensity battle.

On the fourth day of the battle, Situ Nan made a suggestion.

"What? No! I don't agree!"

After hearing this, Tianyao immediately objected.

The faces of the others were also very bad, but there were also many people who looked pensive.

"Patriarch Yun, in the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to call this place a meat grinder, everyone is filling with human lives, I don't know that the Wu clan is crazy like this, but we can't afford such consumption, not to mention, the other party obviously knows the existence of the Walking Corpse Legion, and will behead all the dead in battle, and will not give us the slightest chance at all!"

"I am not a pedantic person, nor do I see the walking corpses as outsiders, but I really can't agree with such things that go against the will of heaven and man!"

It turned out that Situ Nan and Tianyao had a disagreement because of this matter.

"Big brother, in just a few days, we have lost nearly 200,000 people, and the number of seriously injured is even more multiplied, if we don't think of some countermeasures, within half a month, we will have no more soldiers to fight!"

Xiang Ding knew that Tianyao's insistence was not malicious, but from his standpoint, Situ Nan's opinion was exactly what he wanted, the walking corpses could only play their greatest role if they formed a certain scale and number, and the previous ones could not be called battles at all.

"Patriarch Yun, I Kutun raised a million troops, and now almost half of them have been lost, to be realistic, the beast clan army under your command cannot be transformed due to bloodline, and the strength and emperor-level powerhouses are even more valuable combat power, and the only ones who can be transformed into walking corpses are my hundreds of thousands of seriously injured and dying soldiers, if it comes to heartache, am I more than anyone else? Besides, we should think more about the living!"

Situ Nan's words made all the generals under Kutun show deep sorrow, as if someone had torn open the bloody flesh on the wound, Situ Nan was also opposed when he put forward this opinion, but in the end, for the sake of the living, they reached an agreement.

"Hey, you can do it, but if they are not converted voluntarily, I hope to respect the choice of the warriors!"

Tianyao sighed deeply and no longer expressed his position, after all, as Situ Nan said, these soldiers all belong to Kutun, not to mention that the other party's actions are helpless, but also for the sake of the overall situation, what qualifications does he have to point fingers?

However, in the face of this situation, he was even more determined in his heart, and only waited for Tianxiang and them to arrive before making plans.

Perhaps it was because everything had been communicated with the soldiers a long time ago, and almost all the seriously injured agreed to transform Jihua, and just like that, nearly 400,000 walking corpses officially joined the battlefield, finally easing the situation a little.

Three days later, Tianxiang and his party finally arrived at the ancient mountains, and after learning about the battle situation here, he didn't have time to talk to Tianyao in detail, so he left this place with Xiang'er and the beast army, he only left a word, hoping that Tianyao and Situ Nan would hold out for a few more days.

Because this time the walking corpse was at the forefront, he was the main force during the day, and he didn't have to rest at night to harass the Wu clan at any time, making it impossible to prevent it, and finally waited for Tianxiang's return on the eighth day.

What everyone didn't expect was that Tianxiang came back this time and brought hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, which made everyone happy and a little puzzled.

"We are desperate here, other countries are watching the play, how can there be such a haode thing? It is related to the rise and fall of Beizhou, we must share the same hatred, even if we use some means, this is the first batch, it is expected that there will be three more batches, Anna has also raised troops to help, I don't believe that the Wu clan can continue to fight like this!"

Tianxiang's words were like a shot in the arm that hit everyone's hearts.

It is conceivable that his methods when asking these countries to send troops must have been relatively straightforward and even crude, but they were very effective.

The Wu clan is not a fool, after a long time of attack, and even when the other party has reinforcements coming, Mingjin finally withdrew his troops and retreated into the fog.

Although from beginning to end, the Wu Clan did not have a Saint-Rank Grand Venerable to make a move, but Tianyao and they still did not dare to take it lightly, and Tianxiang even laid out a few large arrays in case of emergency.

At this point, the first wave of the Wu Clan's invasion was finally stopped by the Yun Clan and Kutun together, and a total of 1.3 million people were killed on both sides, and the sky-high blood qi almost blackened several nearby mountains and forests.

Everyone didn't know how long it would take for the Wu Clan to start fighting again, and after taking all precautions, they hurried to rest and recuperate.

Tianyao also gathered everyone again and said his intentions.

"I want to go back to the Brawl Mountains first"

After spending some time convincing everyone, Tianyao set out on his way to the Brawl Mountains alone.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

The ancient mountains at night were much colder than during the day, and the mist, and the lingering blood vapor made the space doubly eerie.

At this time, a figure was shuttling between the mountains and forests at high speed, and it was Yun Tianyao who left everyone and went on the road alone.

The thick fog was useless to him, and the magical effect of the Broken Pupil was developed by him again.

Every time he passed by a Wiccan camp, he would mark it on a map and trace the route along the way, making sure that it was as detailed as possible.

However, before approaching the Chinese army, he tucked the map under the foot of the bird he was holding in his hand, released it, and watched it disappear into the night sky and fly south.

He believed that Tianxiang would definitely take action after getting this map, even if the fog did not clear.

To Tianyao's relief, the Wu soldiers were no longer superior to the number of the Beizhou coalition army, in order to avoid startling the snakes, Tianyao bypassed the Wu army far away on the way afterward, but it seemed that the direction he was moving was not Tuba Volcano, but the former Zhan Clan's holy land Lei Gong Mountain.

A day later, when Tianyao rushed to the foot of Lei Gong Mountain, he was surprised to find that the entire mountain had been razed to the ground, and the cloud piercing shuttle, which was regarded as the top mountain rock, was also missing.

Tian Yao could guess a thing or two after a little thought, and the scene of him resisting the bombardment of several Wu Clan's Holy Steps with the Cloud Piercing Shuttle that day really shocked many people.

Since the Cloud Piercing Shuttle had been refined by Tian Yao with essence blood, and he knew its current location with a secret technique, which was not far from here, Tian Yao decided to go there to investigate it first, and if possible, he still hoped to retrieve the Cloud Piercing Shuttle, which would greatly save him the time he spent on the road in the future.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and when Tianyao came to the place where the Cloud Piercing Suo was located, he felt a powerful coercion that frightened him, which was a super power that only the Holy Order Venerable could have.

And the fluctuation coming from the bottom of his heart also showed that this Witch Clan Holy Order was trying to forcibly subdue the Cloud Piercing Shuttle.

A hint of mockery appeared on Tianyao's face, how could the Cloud Piercing Shuttle refined by the Earth Sage be subdued so easily, it was really a pipe dream.

But this also puts a grim fact in front of Tianyao, the Wu clan really has a holy rank, which is definitely a big bad news for Beizhou, if the Wu clan is really related to the invasion of Nanzhou, and is unscathed in the heavenly changes, then this battle is really unlikely to win.

After thinking about it, Tianyao decided to change his mind and give up on capturing the Cloud Piercing Shuttle, after all, with his current strength, he couldn't make the feat of pulling teeth from the hands of the Holy Order.

But just as he was about to turn around, a silver light suddenly flew out from the south not far from him, and it rushed towards the place where the Cloud Piercing Shuttle was at an extremely fast speed, and soon, it collided with the aura released by the Wu Clan's Holy Steps, and then fled away.

The Holy Order of the Wu Clan would not let go of this hateful guy easily, and hurriedly flew after him, and soon left here.

"Is that silver light !!?"

Tianyao was a little stunned by the sudden shock, but he quickly came back to his senses, he knew that he would not admit his mistake, that silver light was clearly the banshee who had helped him many times, what was her purpose?
