The pursuit lasted until noon, when the Shang Kingdom was forced to give up the pursuit due to fears of being alone in the deep and having poor logistics.
But after this battle, the demon clan was completely damaged; at least the demon clan in Yingzhou had a hard time catching their breath.
There were almost 50 to 60 million monsters on the battlefields of both sides combined. Even if wild beasts and low-level monsters were excluded, the number of monsters was as high as tens of millions. However, after this battle, the low-level monsters were almost wiped out; there were only less than three million middle and upper-level monsters left.
The most important thing is that this battle completely destroyed the confidence of the demon clan and made them extremely terrified.
At this point, the northern part of the Shang Kingdom, within a radius of more than 50,000 kilometers, became a demonic wasteland. Here, there was only destruction, and some places were still burning with fire.
After Nangong Zhi and Wang Jian met, they had a brief discussion and immediately conveyed the news of victory and complete victory to Li Xian.
…
Crash... Li Xian received the message and stood up excitedly, knocking over the tables and chairs in front of him.
"Good, good, good!" Li Xian was so happy that he could not describe it. The huge pressure in his heart was immediately relieved. The northern demon tribe was defeated in one day. The Shang Kingdom not only achieved an unprecedented victory, but also--it was a victory!
However, this matter still needs long-term consideration, and Li Xian immediately summoned everyone to discuss it.
Ling Zhifeng was the first to run over. When he arrived in front of Li Xian, he shouted, "My Lord, I also contributed to this victory. It was me who cracked the demon tribe's sacrificial magic and caught them off guard. If not for..."
"Okay, I got it." Li Xian immediately interrupted Ling Zhifeng's weird cry, "I have seen your contribution to the Shang Kingdom, and I will reward you with three strands of holy energy."
"Oh, that's great." Ling Zhifeng rubbed his hands and grinned foolishly.
Soon Xu Ren, Li Yuanming and others also arrived. Li Xian immediately told them what happened and even connected with Nangong Zhi and Wang Jian on the spot to inquire about their situation.
Everyone was very surprised. After discussing for a while, Xu Ren finally spoke up: "Wise King, the news of the victory in the north must not be spread. We should block the news. To the outside world, we should say that the war is still going on, the demons are still resisting, and we have suffered heavy casualties and incalculable losses. Only in this way can we stand on the moral high ground. Moreover, there are still demons in the north, and they may come back at any time, so we are not cheating. Secondly, the northern soldiers need to rest and prepare for the future. They cannot be dragged into the war unless they have to. Third, the North can withdraw the air force from the north and transfer missiles to the western battlefield; but it must be covered up. Fourth, since we have taken the initiative, we must stage a tragic drama and pave the way for future development."
"Oh, what preparation?" Li Xian asked.
Xu Ren smiled slightly, "This kind of thing is what Li Yuanming is good at."
Li Yuanming was not polite either, "Xian Wang, in the past, due to various reasons, we could not take the initiative to attack the surrounding countries, which seriously restricted our development. But for the reputation of the Shang Kingdom, we had to tie ourselves up in knots. Even the surrounding countries seized this point and wanted to trap us here with a soft knife. But now there is an opportunity to break the deadlock. If we can use the war in the west to make everyone realize the fact that the human race can only be strong if it is unified. From this perspective, then our expansion again will not be for the interests of the Shang Kingdom, but for the interests of the human race. In this way, we can hold high the banner of human righteousness and wipe out the surrounding countries one by one. If you ask me, we should also thank Xing State, Cai State, and Wu State!"
