Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 434 Great Battle (4) (The Demon Clan Arrives, Li Ziyu's Madness)

"This army is not easy to deal with! And how did they manage to cross our lines so silently?"

Huiming said in a deep voice.

He now desperately wanted to know how the Asura Army had managed to sneak up behind them so silently.

Could it be that there's a traitor on their side?

If that's the case, then they must hurry and find these traitors.

Otherwise, the defenses they built would be nothing short of a joke.

"I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter."

Shen Wei was also aware of the seriousness of the matter.

If the Asura Army could slip through their lines silently, then the other legions could too.

If a large number of Qin Dynasty troops were to cross their defenses, they would be in serious trouble.

The traitor must be found as soon as possible.

Subsequently, Shen Wei dispatched a large number of people to investigate the matter.

However, when they investigated, they discovered that part of their defenses had already been breached.

When their men arrived, they found only corpses scattered all over the ground.

But it was all too late.

They immediately repaired the defenses, strengthened defenses in various locations, and increased the number of patrols.

To prevent such a situation from happening again.

However, the Asura army has already entered their rear, and they need to hurry up and find and destroy them.

What they didn't know was that all their actions had been observed by the secret guards.

For the secret guards, they had no secrets whatsoever.

Even their entire deployment was immediately communicated to Liu Qiu by the secret guards, allowing Liu Qiu to prepare.

They planned ahead, even deliberately revealing their tracks to them.

As expected, the Asura Army, like hunters, relentlessly hunted down the allied forces that came to pursue them.

This caused even greater losses to the coalition forces.

Not only did they fail to annihilate the Asura Army, they also lost a considerable amount of supplies to the Asura Army.

In addition, the Qin Dynasty's main force launched a fierce attack at the front, leaving the allied forces overwhelmed.

Furthermore, signs of collapse began to appear.

However, they cannot retreat any further; if they do, their losses will be even greater.

Those territories that had previously withdrawn from have now all been destroyed and become slave-owning domains of the Qin Dynasty.

During this period, they suffered numerous attacks from the slave army.

That should have been their army, but now it has become the enemy's army.

This has already greatly displeased those above.

Fortunately, they had far more people than the Qin Dynasty, allowing them to rely on their population advantage and use human lives to bridge the gap.

This situation lasted for hundreds of years.

The demon army finally arrived.

The leader of the demon race this time is from the tiger race, named Hu Chenfeng, who has a trace of the bloodline of the divine beast white tiger.

His status within the tiger clan was considered quite good.

The arrival of the demon race gave the allied forces some ability to resist.

After all, the demon race has a powerful physical body, and at the same level, their defense is incomparable to that of the demon race, immortals, and Buddhists.

Furthermore, many of the demon races that came this time were very experienced in tracking.

For example, races like the dog tribe and the wolf tribe.

After discussions, the demon race dispatched a large number of members of the dog and wolf clans to cooperate with the allied forces in searching for the whereabouts of the Asura Army.

With the help of the dog and wolf clans, they actually managed to find some of the Asura army's locations.

But when they found it, they were met with a frenzied attack from the Asura army.

This actually exacerbated their losses.

The guards immediately reported the situation.

At the same time, the Asura Army also entered a period of infiltration, hiding for a while.

After all, their numbers are limited, and if they are surrounded by a large force, even if they are strong, they will be no match for the overwhelming numbers.

They wouldn't let their soldiers die in vain.

With the help of the guards, they were completely hidden.

For a time, the allied forces lost track of them.

Despite extensive searching, no trace of the Asura Army could be found.

The coalition forces had to abandon the large-scale search, but they did increase patrols.

This centuries-long war of surprise attacks has now come to a temporary end.

However, these hundreds of years have also brought enormous losses to the allied forces.

More than a thousand cities were massacred, and countless supplies were looted.

Such a huge loss almost led to the purge of several marshals.

Fortunately, their defensive line did not retreat further, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Qi Ye's side, however, was very dissatisfied with the battle; they hadn't expected such a turn of events.

Not only did the allied forces pay a heavy price, but they also suffered considerable losses. If it weren't for the constant plundering of the allied forces' supplies, they would probably be struggling now.

After all, energy cannons and similar weapons are indeed very powerful, but they also consume a terrifying amount of immortal stones.

Qin Wu, however, never left the pass and remained in seclusion.

Even now that the armies of the four major camps have arrived, Qin Wu shows no intention of leaving the pass.

All wars are coordinated by the Military Intelligence Department.

Thanks to the arrival of the demon race, the two sides entered a brief period of peace.

Of course, both sides secretly resorted to underhanded tactics.

Especially when the Great Snow Dragon Riders saw the demon race, their eyes practically lit up.

This is a top-tier mount!

Even the smallest of those demon race members are several meters long; if properly trained, they would be the best mounts for cavalry.

What happened next on the battlefield was quite amusing.

For the sake of their mounts, the Great Snow Dragon Riders began to secretly plot against the demon race.

They captured quite a few demons.

In order to train their mounts, the Great Snow Dragon Riders even found a special domain as a place to cultivate their mounts.

When Li Ziyu asked the cabinet for a domain to train his mount, he almost made the cabinet ministers drop their jaws in astonishment.

Before this, who would have thought that someone could be so crazy about a mount?

They had previously thought that Li Ziyu, the Dragon Cavalry General, was the most normal general under His Majesty, but now they realized they were wrong.

That's because he hadn't encountered anything that would drive Lee Tzu-yu crazy. Once he did, his madness surpassed that of others.

How vast must a medium-sized domain be to be used for training mounts?

This level of madness far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Finally, after receiving repeated messages from Lee Tzu-yu and weighing the pros and cons, the cabinet agreed to Lee Tzu-yu's request.

After all, mounts aren't just for cavalry.

They can also be sold. If you train a lot of them, some of the discarded mounts can be put on the market for sale.

This can also be considered as increasing the revenue for the imperial court.

Moreover, demonic beasts can also be considered a cultivation resource; they are treasures from head to toe.

It can be used for refining weapons, refining pills, and setting up formations.

However, this action enraged the demon race.
