The demon army was defeated.
In Black Cloud City, the demon soldiers who came to rescue rushed in and tried their best to put out the fire.
Food is the most important thing for any species.
This is especially true for the members of the demon clan who are strong and consume a lot of energy.
In order to keep them in good order, cohesion and combat effectiveness, all the food of the demon soldiers was collected and stored here.
Only brave soldiers are qualified to enjoy delicious food.
However, who could have expected that humans would suddenly sneak in here and set fire to the food!
At this time, the fire had spread throughout the entire Black Cloud City.
The air in the city was filled with the smell of burning food.
The demon soldiers' eyes suddenly turned red, and when they saw that the fire could not be put out, they immediately began to snatch the remaining food.
They scrambled to collect pieces of charred meat and mutilated animal carcasses.
The military regulations set before the war that prohibited any soldier from hiding food had now become a dead letter.
Even one of the demon lord generals rushed into the fire and collected the charred animals one by one.
There are also a large number of members in its family who need food.
The demon tribe does not have much territory and has been suppressed by humans for many years. They have only recently begun to emerge, so food is naturally in short supply.
What's more, because the news that the ancient demon capital might be in Dayan spread, a large number of demons from all over the Kyushu continent began to flock here, and the already scarce food was even less than enough to be divided.
They actively join the army because they can have a stable food supply.
But at this moment, the food was burned, how could they not panic
So at this moment, the emotions of panic, looting, and fleeing quickly spread throughout the entire demon army.
At the same time, the defeat of the demon army in front also destroyed the last line of defense in their hearts!
More and more demon soldiers poured into Black Cloud City, but they forgot about capturing the enemy and started snatching the remaining food, and even started killing each other for food.
Several high-ranking generals of the demon army first scolded them, then roared, and then began to draw their swords and kill them, hoping to wake them up and restore order. However, these demon members seemed to be crazy, and they were only concerned with fighting for the last food, and did not even look at them.
"A bunch of stupid beasts! If we defeat the human army, there will be more food!"
At this moment, a hysterical and angry voice of a human suddenly came from the chaotic demon army.
The man was dressed in armor, tall, with a short beard on his forehead, eyes as sharp as an eagle, looking majestic, and surrounded by dozens of human guards.
It turned out to be the King of Thailand who was defeated and fled!
At this moment, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes turned red and he looked desperate and sad.
I thought I could rely on the powerful demon army to make a comeback, but these beasts simply did not have the order and will of a human army. They would run for their lives at the slightest sign of trouble. Now that they were being pursued, they were actually fighting and killing each other for a little food.
Haven't you made any progress at all over the years
No wonder they, who are so strong and powerful, were pinned to the ground and almost wiped out by humans.
Now it has revived and the situation seems good, but in fact it is still full of idiots.
At first, Dayan was busy with internal strife and suppressing rebellion, so it gave them an opportunity to take advantage of. Now that it has time to deal with them, they showed their true colors in an instant.
"Useless! A bunch of useless! You are a bunch of useless people! You are like a bunch of useless people who can't be helped!"
The King of Thailand cursed and cried bitterly.
He was a prince with an army of 100,000 and he was only one step away from ascending the throne to become emperor, but now he ended up in this situation. At this moment, he even wanted to commit suicide.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came from nowhere: "Look! Those humans in armor are spies in our army! They are the ones who brought humans to burn our food! Kill them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the demon soldiers who were in chaos all suddenly looked at the King of Thailand and his entourage.
These humans stood out among the demon clan members.
It's not just their appearance and aura, but also their indifferent look and the way they stand still.
Everyone was scrambling for food, but they were the only ones standing there motionless.
"Spies! They are spies! We were all trying to put out the fire, but they just stood there motionless, using their inner strength to fan the flames! Their army will be here soon, they are not afraid of running out of food at all!"
At this moment, the previous voice sounded again.
“Ouch—”
When the surrounding demon soldiers heard this, they immediately became furious and rushed towards the King of Thailand and the guards around him with roars!
The King of Thailand was immediately horrified and shouted in panic: "We are not spies! We are not!"
"You've fallen into a trap! The person who just spoke is a human spy!"
"General Wei, save me!"
However, no monster listened to his explanation. The monsters around him rushed over with red eyes and strange screams.
"My Lord, let's go!"
The dozens of loyal guards immediately escorted the King of Thailand and fled out of the city.
At this time, the last wave of the defeated demon army in front escaped.
Before they could enter the city, iron hooves came rolling in like thunder from a distance!
"The human cavalry is coming, run!"
Someone shouted, and all the monsters and soldiers in the city scattered.
Soon, Yueying came with his cavalry, but they did not enter the city. Instead, they continued to chase and kill the fleeing demon soldiers.
Some of the infantrymen following behind entered the city and began searching for the remaining monsters.
Luo Qingzhou and Sister Yue were still hiding underground to rest and did not come out.
There was chaos in the city just now, so they hid directly underground.
At the beginning, there were monsters underground chasing them, but they were all killed by the two of them. When there was chaos above and the monsters began to fight for food, no more monsters appeared underground.
I guess all the monsters hiding underground have gone out to fight for food.
Another half hour passed.
After both of them recovered their strength, Fang came out from underground.
At this time, the entire Black Cloud City had become a ruin, and some human soldiers were cleaning the battlefield.
At this time, Yueying also returned victoriously with his silver-armored cavalry.
Messages can now be sent via communication certificates.
Yueying asked about his location, then rushed to Black Cloud City with hundreds of female guards to reunite with the two.
When the two sides met, they were sizing each other up.
Luo Qingzhou spoke first: "Congratulations, Master Yueying, for defeating the demon army and making an unprecedented contribution."
Yueying didn't say anything, she got off the horse, led a horse herself, walked up to the two of them and said, "Get on the horse."
Luo Qingzhou did not refuse, he climbed onto the horse, then stretched out his hand, looked at the girl under the horse, and said softly: "Sister Yue, come here."
Yue Yao ignored him and looked at the other war horses with cold eyes.
Luo Qingzhou suddenly jumped off the horse, put his arms around her slender waist, carried her directly onto the horse's back, then sat behind her and hugged her tightly from behind.
Yue Yao struggled hard but couldn't break free. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she had to lower her head slightly and calm down.
Yueying glanced at the two of them, turned around, and mounted his warhorse.
Hundreds of silver-armored guards surrounded the three people, left the city and returned to the camp.
Yueying rode slowly with the two men. After walking for a while, she asked, "Why did you suddenly think of burning the granary?"
Luo Qingzhou said seriously: "Before I came here, I saw the red dot that Lord Yueying marked on the map. I guessed that Lord Yueying might want to start from here, but there should be no chance. At that time, I secretly made up my mind that if there was a chance, I must help Lord Yueying... After all, as a man of Da Yan and the husband of the Queen, it is my responsibility to kill monsters and enemies!"
Yueying turned her head, looked at him, and said expressionlessly: "Can you tell the truth?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Well, the truth is... We were discovered by the monsters, and they were chasing us, with no way to escape. I happened to remember that there was a granary here, so I came here with all my heart, ready to set fire to it and create chaos... But I didn't expect those monsters to be so useless..."
"Tsk..."
At this moment, a female guard behind him suddenly sneered.
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and saw the woman with silver hair in a ponytail, a broad sword on her shoulder, a slender figure, a pair of long straight and strong legs, and a very majestic chest. She looked heroic and had a heroic beauty.
"why are you laughing?"
Dao Ling rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Yueying was silent for a while, then looked at the two and said, "I will report this great border victory to you two for your credit. What's the name of this girl?"
The girl's body was made of flower bones, so she naturally knew it.
She was asking about the soul.
This is also what His Majesty asked her to ask.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the girl in his arms and said, "No need to ask for credit for her, she doesn't need it."
Yueying glanced at the two again and said, "When two armies fight, no matter who wins or who loses, any important details must be carefully reported to His Majesty. Moreover, in this great victory, you went deep into the rear of the demon army and burned their granary, which was extremely important. You deserve the first credit, so naturally, I must report your situation to His Majesty without leaving out any detail."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Lord Yueying, I will tell His Majesty about this matter myself. As for the credit, neither of us cares."
Seeing his firm attitude, Yueying's eyes moved but she said nothing more.
After a while.
A cavalryman came running over and reported the results of the battle to her ear.
After the cavalryman left, she spoke again: "This time, we killed about 20,000 demon soldiers. The rest fled into the desert in the north and may bypass here and enter the cities occupied by the demons. Because the demon army here was defeated, the demon armies in Yancheng and Yuncheng behind abandoned the cities and fled. Now we still have three cities occupied."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "How many demon troops have gathered at the border? How did they capture so many cities?"
Yueying frowned and said, "There were only 30,000 at the beginning, but their fighting power was very strong and the border troops could not resist. At that time, King Tai was in charge of the army here and did not go to rescue, so several cities were captured by the demon army. The Seven Kings Rebellion broke out in the country, so it has been delayed until now. Now, some demon armies from neighboring countries are also gathering here. It is estimated that there are 60,000 demon armies in total now."
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "From the situation of this battle, the individual combat power of the demon clan members should be relatively strong, but as for the army, it seems that they lack cohesion, faith and will to fight. It seems that no matter how many there are, they are just a pile of loose sand. As long as we find an opportunity, we can easily defeat them."
Yueying nodded and said, "Indeed. The demon army is not united. Even when they were confronting our two armies, they still fought and killed each other from time to time."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "In this situation, we must fight quickly and defeat them completely. If we wait for an excellent leader to emerge from their tribe, unite them all, give them beliefs and goals, and unite their hearts, I think it will be difficult for us."
Yueying nodded and said, "I think so too. Next, we will concentrate our forces to attack the next city until we recapture Mo City and completely destroy them."
Luo Qingzhou said: "With a general like Lord Yueying at the border, these things will definitely not be difficult. No wonder His Majesty is so relieved in Kyoto."
After a pause, he continued, "Also, I think that Your Majesty should give all the military power on the border to Lord Yueying, so that Your Majesty can make better arrangements. Although General Yuchi is a famous general, I heard that he is good at defense. I am afraid that he lacks the understanding of this active offensive strategy. Opportunities on the battlefield are ever-changing and fleeting. We must have a decisive general in charge to quickly seize every opportunity."
Yueying was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, "I think you are a good fit. Do you want me to write a letter to His Majesty to ask you to be the marshal?"
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, and said quickly: "I am a warrior, how can I..."
"Just a warrior?"
Yueying suddenly interrupted him, looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "Why did I hear Yuewu say that you are a talented scholar?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Soon, several people returned to the military camp.
Soldiers kept coming into the tent to report the battle situation at the front.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qingzhou bowed and said goodbye.
Yueying silently sent the two of them out of the military camp.
Luo Qingzhou said goodbye to his senior sister again.
Dao Ling walked up to him and whispered, "Your father-in-law and second brother are gone?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's gone. It's not very convenient."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left holding the girl beside him.
When the two arrived at the hillside, they immediately sent a message to Long Er.
Long Er quickly flew out from the jungle in front.
Without any delay, the three of them boarded the spaceship and returned to Kyoto.
It's noon now.
Half of the five days have passed.
There are still two and a half days left.
We should be able to get back to Kyoto by tomorrow evening, and then we will only have two nights and one day left.
Time is very urgent.
so…
On the way back, Luo Qingzhou not only had to take the golden clam demon pill, but also had to continue practicing with Long Er.
The demon pill cannot be taken directly.
After Sister Yue took the demon pill, she helped him refine it and then returned it to him. Then she left the spaceship and flew to the front.
There were only two people left in the cabin.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to delay. He immediately took the magic pill and began to practice his internal skills.
As soon as the demon pill entered the body, a stream of scorching air rose from the elixir sea.
After a moment.
He opened his eyes.
At this moment, Long Er, who was sitting next to him, trembled slightly, bit his lips, and said weakly: "Master, Long Er... Long Er is afraid of you..."
