Chapter 1781 We'll Teach Them a Lesson That They'll Never Return
Huaxu City.
The city and the open spaces stretching for dozens of miles behind it were crowded with anxious, grief-stricken figures.
The original inhabitants of Gaoxin City and Leize City were forced to migrate to Huaxu City, awaiting a centralized relocation with the Huaxu clan.
Where will they be moved to? That remains undecided.
The Demon Cave is filled with demonic energy and evil spirits. Leaving the protection of the city's great formation and staying outside for a long time would be a huge drain on the cultivation of the descendants of the gods.
However, Huaxu City was not large enough to accommodate them all.
Therefore, all those below the Golden Core level entered the city, while all combatants at the Golden Core level and above gathered outside the city.
On one hand, the Golden Core warriors, when assembled into formations, constitute the main fighting force of the Divine Race.
On the one hand, this realm can withstand the invasion of turbid dark elemental energy for a longer period of time.
In a sense, as the main fighting force, they are equivalent to the Protoss's "regular army".
But with their homes destroyed and their future uncertain, they were all demoralized and looked like stray dogs.
"I never imagined that the divine race, with its millennia-long heritage, would now be on the verge of extinction. Even when it was fighting the demon and monster races at their fiercest, it never came to this end."
Gao Fang sighed deeply at the sight of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Gaoxin clan.
"It's all because of the Lei Ze clan and the Hua Xu clan. I don't know why they insist on merging with the human race! Don't they realize that the human race is inherently treacherous? How long can they expect to prosper by associating with wicked people?"
Another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Gaoxin Clan, Gao Xiang, curled his lip, a mocking expression on his face.
"Ha, the human race... bullies the weak and fears the strong, they tried to exterminate my Gaoxin clan, but when faced with the demon army, they cowered and did not come out. They are utterly despicable!"
"Those two senile old fools, Ancestor Lei Ze and Xuan Lie, have harmed the divine race and deserve to die!"
Another guy from the Gaoxin clan was furious.
If it weren't for the fact that all the ancestors of the Gaoxin clan died at the hands of Chen Wanli, they wouldn't have ended up in this state.
"You can complain all you want, but if you dare to disrespect our ancestors, don't blame us for turning on you without mercy!"
The members of the Leize clan standing nearby turned around upon hearing this and retorted fiercely.
Gao Xiang sneered: "Did you hit a nerve?"
"The feud between the gods and demons has existed since ancient times. The calamity of today was bound to erupt sooner or later. How come in your mouth it is the fault of our two divine ancestors?"
"If it weren't for your Lei Ze clan and Hua Xu clan associating with the human race, how could the divine race have fallen to this state?"
"You think you can become the leader of the gods by relying on the human race? Laughable! Where are the humans now? Have they brought you the glory of the gods?"
"You've all ended up like stray dogs!"
"You were sent to the front lines to take the brunt of the demons' attacks, suffering the humiliation of losing cities and territory. Did any of the humans show up?"
The Gaoxin clan members got more and more excited as they talked, mocking and ridiculing the Lei Ze and Hua Xu clans.
Lei Ze and Hua Xu were on the verge of taking action several times.
However, wearing black armor signifies a true wartime mechanism, prohibiting the use of force.
"You, you guys..."
Just then, Lei Jiang appeared and shouted, "Shut up, all of you! I told you to prepare for the evacuation, not to argue!"
"Yes, Young City Lord!"
"Half an hour later, the women and children in the city will evacuate first, and you will hold them off!"
These words dampened the morale of the crowd once again.
Isn't this just another attempt to flee without a fight and surrender another city?
The question is, how many cities does the Protoss have in total?
Even if all the remaining cities were filled, they still wouldn't be able to hold so many people!
So even if they escape, wouldn't they still have to suffer in the darkness of the wilderness for who knows how long?
"Received! We'll arrange it right away!" Lei Zeshi replied.
But then they saw three streaks of light fly past overhead at incredible speeds, too fast for them to detect.
Only Lei Jiang recognized that one of them was Xuan San.
The other two...
Lei Jiang's expression changed slightly: "The withdrawal should be postponed for now; the entire army should prepare for battle!"
He said this and hurried into the city.
The elites of the Lei Ze clan and the Hua Xu clan exchanged glances and stood there stunned.
Despite his often unserious demeanor, Lei Jiang is actually a very composed person.
What could cause his expression to change so drastically was...
As he was pondering this, several members of the Gaoxin clan began to mock him again: "Why aren't you getting ready to be cannon fodder? What are you standing there for? Do you still expect the human race to come and wipe out the Heavenly Demon Army and besiege Huaxu City?"
"Cannon fodder? If anyone should be cannon fodder, it should be your Gaoxin clan, don't you know that?"
The moment those words were spoken, an uproar erupted.
People from all three clans crowded around, each chiming in with their own words.
They mocked and insulted each other!
The Gaoxin clan seized upon one point to "slaughter all sides": "If you have the ability, let the human race come out and take two steps in front of the Heavenly Demon Army!"
……
When Lei Jiang saw that it was Chen Wanli who had arrived, and heard the arguments outside, his old face turned red.
He knew that with Chen Wanli's spiritual strength, not to mention these loud noises, even the sound of a mosquito flying by would not escape his notice.
If Chen Wanli heard this, wouldn't it be seen as "incompetent in military command"?
"Chen, Chen Shenzu... cough cough... well, everyone's nervous before the big battle, so he was a bit cheeky... I'll keep a close eye on him after we're safely back!"
Chen Wanli curled his lip: "Who said we were going to evacuate?"
"what?"
Lei Jiang was stunned. Seeing Chen Wanli walking quickly towards the temple, he hurriedly followed.
Before even getting close, the voices of several elders of the Huaxu clan and the old ancestor of Leize could be heard coming from within the temple:
"The Protoss have been retreating again and again, their morale is low, and they fear they may have nowhere left to retreat!"
"We don't know what Chen Shenzu is planning right now. Let alone the younger generation, we are also at a loss!"
"Chen Shenzu once said that he wanted to bring the gods to the Moon God Platform. He will probably eventually enter the Moon God Platform, but we don't know if it will bring good or bad fortune."
"Since you intend to enter the Moon God Platform, why are you hesitating now? Could it be... that Ancestor Chen was just talking?"
"Are you saying that Chen Shenzu is just making empty promises and deceiving the gods? You shouldn't make such malicious assumptions."
Perhaps the Dragon King and True Lord Ye are unfathomable, and that's why Ancestor Chen has some reservations!
The elders, though not as vehement as the younger generation outside the city, still harbored some doubts.
Lei Jiang quickly coughed loudly a few times.
Chen Wanli chuckled and looked at Lei Jiang: "In your eyes, do you think I'm so intolerant of you telling the truth?"
"No, that's not it. It's just that I'm afraid Chen Shenzu will hold a grudge!" Lei Jiang grinned.
"..." Xiang Qing followed obediently behind, glancing sideways at Lei Jiang.
This guy is very relaxed in front of Chen Wanli! And the way he speaks is very pleasant to listen to.
The people in the temple had already come out upon hearing the sound.
Upon seeing Chen Wanli, the old foxes remained calm, as if they hadn't said a word, and came forward to greet him.
Chen Wanli, feigning indifference as if he hadn't heard anything, nodded slightly and slowly said:
How far is the Heavenly Demon Army from Huaxu City?
Ancestor Lei Ze said, "It's less than a thousand miles. It's about a half-day's journey."
Most of those large siege weapons have special magic arrays, and because they are too big to fit into storage treasures.
They could only travel on foot, and their speed was naturally inferior to that of the escape technique.
But traveling a thousand miles in half a day isn't slow.
“However, the Huaxu clan has already made arrangements for evacuation and can set off at any time…” Xuan Lie said.
"We're not leaving!" Chen Wanli said with a smile.
"what?"
Everyone present showed surprise and doubt, even the old ancestor Lei Ze looked at his great-great-grandson Lei Jiang.
Lei Jiang shook his head: "I don't know!"
Chen Wanli sat down, too lazy to say anything, and gave Xuan San a look.
Xuan San then revealed all of Chen Wanli's speculations.
Before anyone could react, Lei Jiang had already given a thumbs up:
"Chen Shenzu is truly a man of exceptional intelligence! His deductions are reasonable and corroborate the information I just received!"
"I just received news that after reorganizing, the Heavenly Demon Army has split into two groups: 100,000 troops have gone towards Kuafu City and Fangfeng City, while 200,000 troops are heading towards Huaxu City!"
"Isn't it just that they think the gods don't dare to fight, so they might as well hurry up and herd the sheep into the pen?"
Chen Wanli squinted: "Is there really such a good thing? Since they think we don't dare to fight, then let's fight."
Today, let these 200,000 demonic troops never return!
The phrase "no return" immediately made everyone present gasp for breath.
The Heavenly Demon Army and the Earthly Demon Army are the main forces of the Heavenly and Earthly Demon Kings, and each of them is no less powerful than a Golden Core cultivator.
Most importantly, they are nourished by the innate demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon King and possess the unified military formation combat method. Their combined strength is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and they are more durable and resilient than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
They were an important fighting force for the Demon King when he opened his Demon Eye.
If we are to continue with the Tianyuan Project, these two powerful demon armies will remain an indispensable main force.
If Chen Wanli really wiped out most of the Heavenly Demon Army in one battle, the Heavenly Demon King would go mad!
However, surprisingly, none of the people who were holding their breath uttered any objections.
"Does Chen Shenzu truly possess a method to lead the Divine Race to a stable position on the Moon Extreme Divine Platform? And can he deal with the Soul Devourer?"
Ancestor Lei Ze only asked this one question.
"Have!"
Chen Wanli's answer was concise and powerful.
"My old life is yours. I'd gladly sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers to my death!"
"It's not that bad!" Chen Wanli laughed.
……
Outside the city, the ethnic groups waiting for the evacuation order have yet to receive it.
Time ticked by, and they grew increasingly anxious.
If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave at all.
Sure enough, two hours later.
They first received news that the demon army had arrived, with its vanguard already a hundred miles away.
Then came the battle order: Do not retreat, kill the enemy!
"hiss!"
Kill the enemy? These stray dogs have a real fighting strength of less than ten thousand. How can they fight against hundreds of thousands of elite Heavenly Demon Army soldiers?
This is tantamount to sending someone to their death.
"Anyone who dares to utter a damn word is a deserter and executed! They whine and complain even when retreating, and spout nonsense when fighting—they have a death wish!"
Seeing that someone from Gaoxinshi was about to speak, Lei Jiang shouted a curse.
The Protoss army was completely silent.
Lei Jiang began to muster his troops.
We cannot fight under the walls of Huaxu City; we must at least engage them a hundred miles away to avoid harming the weaker forces below the city.
