"My lord, the left wing has already begun to collapse!"
"My lord! The northern frontier army was ambushed, and General Asilante sent a message saying that he couldn't get back for a while!"
"My lord, back away! Please back away immediately! The other party is coming this way—"
Lord Yunyang's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief. The black wave-like army collapsed before his eyes, scattered and fled in different directions. He punished Nizi, opened the treasury, and spent all his money to build this army, but the army that carried all his hopes failed to respond to his wishes. The lord of Yunyang clenched the whip in his hand, he never imagined that one day he would face such an ending, Yunyang's foundation dissipated little by little before his eyes, and finally ceased to exist.
The general who was still loyal to Yunyang desperately came to him, reported the situation of the army, and asked him for an idea. But Lord Yunyang was in a state of blank mind for a moment. He stared blankly at Takis, who was rushing to the front, and was cut down to the ground after exhausting his strength. Stop the imposing Yuxi City soldiers.
The lord of Yunyang could feel that luck was draining from him, and the balance of victory was not on his side. With the help of God, the soldiers of Yuxi City continued to attack his army. In contrast, Yunyang's army was wilting at a speed visible to the naked eye. It took them so long to accumulate courage. It was all gone in minutes.
The tide is gone.
"My lord, a decision must be made."
A general in the army rushed over to block some flying arrows for Lord Yunyang, and said loudly:
"The hearts of the people are scattered, and there is no point in continuing to fight! If you don't leave, even the lord may be caught, and then everything will be too late!"
Only then did Lord Yunyang regain his senses, angrily swept away the general who grabbed his arm, panted a few times, and said with difficulty:
"I know! Go back to Lingyun City immediately! As long as I am still alive, Yunyang will not perish... There are still many people who are loyal to me, and I can find other territories to borrow troops! All the lords who went to the battlefield with me back then live, they'll help me..."
Lord Yunyang held the reins tightly, turned around urgently, and shouted loudly:
"The whole army listens to the order and returns to Lingyun City—"
Lord Yunyang didn't know how many people would be willing to follow him. Following this sentence, most of the soldiers completely started their escape career. A very small number of people followed the lord of Yunyang and began to flee to Lingyun City, and there was a large-scale chaos in Yunyang's army formation. Lide watched this scene in the crowd, his eyes were neither sad nor happy, as if he was watching a very ordinary thing.
Selaginella panted with difficulty holding the spear, while Ming Gan put down the longbow in his hand. The soldiers of Yuxi City were still chasing Yunyang's defeated army, and the military achievements brought to them were not in vain. Fang Shisan did not stop them immediately, but gave the order for a truce later.
"It's no longer necessary to chase."
Fang Shisan said calmly:
"Gather your forces and don't rush to attack Lingyun City. Prioritize attacking other cities. As long as the officials in the city are willing to surrender, Yuxi City can try their best to avoid their punishment, and will not hold anyone except the culprit. Appease according to the previous method, we don't have to worry about the specific things, let Lord Shoufu do it."
The generals of Yuxi City nodded in agreement and began to execute Fang Shisan's order.
As the strongest city in Yunyang, Lingyun City is still very troublesome to fight. In this situation, it is no longer necessary to take Lingyun City as a priority, and it doesn't matter who owns that city. This time Yunyang was defeated, a large number of deserters will definitely return to their hometowns, trying their best to exaggerate the tyrannical fighting power of Yuxi City; plus the fact that Yuxi City treats the people preferentially has been widely circulated, it can be expected that there are very few people who are willing to resist few.
When Yuxi City took over all of Yunyang's territory, the remaining Lingyun City would be destroyed without attack.
For many territories, the main city is a symbol, just like the king's capital is the symbol of Eternal Heaven. However, Yuxi City does not need such a symbol, because at this moment, the hearts of the people are with Lide. Even if Lide decides Yuxi City as the new main city, the people will willingly support this decision.
Broken corpses were everywhere on the battlefield, and the army rushed to the new battlefield, while Lied and Alaya stayed in this place.
Lied saw the dying Takis in the sea of corpses in the Dead River.
This Yunyang general was covered in tattered iron armor, and the cloak on his back was in tatters. After seeing Lied, he stroked the stubble on his chin and made a rare joke:
"I also planned to find a chance to slip away among the corpses, but I didn't expect to be found so soon."
Takis opened his eyes wide, looked at Lied, and said with a smile:
"You won, kid. Yunyang is yours now."
Lied also showed a smile, and replied:
"Really? I don't really feel it."
Takis opened his eyes and looked at the sky above his head, with a bit of relief in his tone:
"Really... It seems that you are the same as the rumors, a lazy guy..."
Lid folded his hands on his chest and continued:
"Is laziness bad? Human greed is infinite. This is the most precious quality of human beings, and it is also the most deep-rooted weakness. I, like you said, will soon have all of Yunyang. But Am I really much happier now than I was when I was a dandy in Lingyun City? I actually don’t have a clear feeling. Unless I can go out to play when I want to, and there are countless capable people behind me. People are willing to stay there to give me the bottom line. I have no interest in power, and this thing should be a ladder for me to do things, not a goal for me to pursue."
Takis laughed, as if he heard some funny joke, and tears flowed from his laughter.
He coughed up blood and said intermittently:
"What an extravagant idea... If the lord of Yunyang knows... haha... But that's impossible. Whether it's the lord or the king, it's hard to leave that position without authorization."
Lied replied calmly:
"Yeah, that's why I need someone to help me. In order not to let myself fall into this vicious circle, I need someone to do a lot of things for me. I said Takis, the position of the southern frontier general, I see what you do It’s pretty good, do you want to continue working in the future?”
Takis suddenly widened his eyes.
Lied nodded, and said to himself:
"It's a default. Doris, come here and treat him."
The princess of the elves walked gracefully, trying not to step on the corpse on the ground, walked over slowly, threw a healing spell indifferently, and then knocked Lid on the head, counting it as a direct order to him I was dissatisfied with myself, and then walked away indifferently.
The emerald green brilliance surged, and the wounds on Takis began to slowly recover.
He looked at Lid in disbelief, and Lid just smiled and held out a hand to him.
