Chapter 764: The fall of Xuanwu, the decisive battle against Kuisang
"Wait!"
Lin Shan suddenly spoke to stop Brother Ji from moving forward.
But it was obviously too late, because the black bat's elemental wings were too fast, and coupled with the flying magical power Kunshang, it was like a black thread drilling in!
The demon soldiers guarding the cave door didn't even react. They were still wondering what happened just now, when suddenly a strong wind blew over them.
"Boom!!!"
He directly lifted the entrance of the cave and made the demon swoon.
Along the way, the two of them walked quickly through Hongya Cave.
There are many demon soldiers and demon generals stationed here, but most of them are disabled and sick. They should be left behind after successive battles. They heal the wounded and heal the sick.
Various demon-like tribes can be seen everywhere in the cave, which is simply a hodgepodge of vegetarian camps!
The three of them once again did not expect that Demon King Kuihu would be defeated so quickly. After the defeat of Tianwentai, Hongyadong, a strategic location that was conducive to defense, would also be easily captured.
The loss of Hongya Cave is equivalent to Yuanlu Demon King regaining half of his base. If he goes further south, he will be able to recover the lost ground soon!
And with this base camp as a supply point, even if most of the reinforcements from the Swallowing Star Mountains are withdrawn, the Yuanlu Demon King can still firmly take root, and it can be said that he cannot drive away even if he wants to!
From the back door to the front door in the cave, Chicken Brother was like a fish in water with the black bat wings. Under the detection of ultrasonic magical power, everything he passed was unobstructed.
And because the Black Bats themselves are good at flying in caves in dark environments, the three of them walked out with the same swagger as they walked in!
In addition, not long after Hongya Cave was taken, they took advantage of this loophole before the cave formation could be fully deployed.
Moreover, there were no Nascent Soul Stage monks to guard them. There were demon generals who organized troops and horses to chase them, but they were too late. By the time they were organized, Chicken Brother had already flown away.
Pass through Hongya Cave and see the sun again.
"What next?"
Lin Fan and Brother Ji had no idea again, so they had no choice but Lin Shan to show them the way.
Go further south to Jingqi Forest.
This was an important place where he, Zhong Shenxiu, and Young Master Jiuyou teamed up to set up an ambush to defeat the Yuanlu Demon King and seal the victory.
The vines on the trees were all broken flags, and there were bones along the road!
After a simple look, it was not difficult for them to deduce that after Demon King Kuihu was defeated in Hongya Cave, he once again ambushed Demon King Yuanlu here!
Demon King Yuanlu probably suffered heavy losses due to his carelessness, and that was why there were so many wounded people behind Hongya Cave.
However, the gap between the two sides was still obvious, forcing Demon King Kuihu, who Jing Qilin barely managed to regain some ground, to continue to retreat.
They continued their pursuit along the road.
After running for most of the day, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was already midnight.
There was a lot of fire in the distance, but there was no sound of fighting.
Lin Fan looked at the four hills standing in the night. Soldiers and horses were stationed in the mountain camp. A steady stream of supplies and troops came in and out, circulating with the front line.
The road was brightly lit, as bright as day.
"Where is this place and how come there are so many soldiers and horses?"
Lin Fan was shocked when he saw it, and he and Brother Ji didn't know how serious it was. Is there an army of 100,000 people?
Lin Shan let out a long sigh!
"The place where Xuanwu refuses corpses has also fallen"
He knew that the geographical location here was even more important than Hongya Cave to some extent.
Because if it fell into the hands of a formation master like Yuanlu Demon King, he could arrange the Four Elephants to kill him, which was simply the tomb of the Nascent Soul Stage!
It’s impossible that Demon King Kui Hu didn’t know this, but he still lost this place.
Every time they took the next step south, they found that the situation worsened, and the speed of collapse simply refreshed their understanding again and again!
Think about how much effort and energy it took to get to Hongya Cave from here?
Now it’s all lost in just a few days!
"It's not a good time to stay here. Let's leave quickly."
Lin Shan urged them to leave and not linger on the fallen territory.
Lin Fan and Brother Ji were flustered, and they couldn't help but wonder whether the Demon King Kuihu could stand up after losing so many games in a row.
Shouldn't the opponent penetrate all the way and directly lose the nest?
Next is the vast Hongyaye, endless grassland, and the terrain is even more unfavorable for defense.
Lin Shan saw many camps being uprooted one after another, and they were all gone.
Densely packed horse hoof prints and a torrent of water pointing straight ahead!
They followed along the road, becoming more and more numb, and found countless neutral races raising their flags to surrender and respectfully greet the master of Demon King Yuanlu.
In this case, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy, and the only outcome will be genocide!
Of course, there are also many innate carnivorous races. Because they hunted too much in the past, they suffered crazy revenge from the vegetarian races. They had to flee with their tails between their legs and go to the rear to find shelter.
This chaos continues until one place:
Kuisang Ridge.
This is the base camp of Demon King Kuihu, and it is also the orthodox place in the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land. It is collectively called the Old Demon King Cave by all the demon clans.
Lin Shan has been here before, and the Demon King's Treasury, where countless treasures are hidden, is right here.
The demon king Kuihu and his affiliated groups all occupy the most fertile land here.
From a distance, you can see the magnificent Demon Palace on the mountain, as well as the heavily guarded caves on the mountainside, as well as countless defense facilities and formations at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Demon King Kuihu's base camp has not been lost yet, and at this moment, there are a steady stream of reinforcements from the carnivorous camp from various places in the rear, arriving all night long.
These are King Qin’s troops.
Obviously, each demon cave does not necessarily have only one demon clan of level 4 or above. Many old demons will lie down in their ancestral land to cultivate when they are old and weak.
But after hearing that Demon King Yuanlu was coming and was about to overthrow Demon King Kuihu's rule, they all hurriedly led their descendants to rescue him.
Because this is not a simple battle between demon kings, but a very rare battle between camps!
Once the Yuanlu Demon King wins, it will be difficult for all carnivorous groups to survive. This is a major event that will affect generations to come!
Lin Shan had the Demon King's Order of Kuihu in his hand, and Brother Ji also had it in his hand. Seeing them coming back, the demon soldiers and generals guarding the mountain were all in high spirits, and they hurriedly sent them up the mountain.
Enter the monster hall on the top of the mountain.
The place is solemn and solemn, no longer the noisy chaos of the king's tent where tables were full of wine and meat. All the demon generals and cave masters stood on both sides, bowing quietly and listening to Kuihu, the demon king, ordering troops in front of the palace.
When Lin Shan arrived, Demon King Kuihu was overjoyed!
But then he came to his senses, sighed, and put down the military affairs at hand, called him over, and asked his demon generals to free up a first place for him.
"Commander Lin, you were chased by Hei Xun and Xuan Yong. I was restrained and had no time to care about you. I couldn't protect you and I suffered a lot of injustice along the way."
Lin Shan was flattered and quickly waved his hand.
"Why do you say this, Your Majesty? It's good that I didn't cause any trouble for you. How can I ask you to give up your business to help me?"
Demon King Kuihu saw that he was still full of energy and showed no signs of injury, so he couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of Heixun and Zhenjun Xuanyong.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, those two people have been tricked out of the Aurora Sea by my false shot and went to the outside world to find me. They will not be back in a short time."
Demon King Kuihu nodded. If the two Nascent Soul stages came back to cause trouble for it, it would really have a headache for a long time. After hearing Lin Shan's words, he felt relieved. "It's good that Military Advisor Lin is fine. It's a pity that I lost one after another and returned all the way south."
"The Yuanlu boy doesn't respect martial ethics and goes around asking for foreign aid, which has led to current internal and external difficulties."
"You don't actually have to come back."
To be honest, Lin Shan's return is indeed of little use. It cannot have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war. It is better to hide far away outside to avoid being implicated.
Lin Shan shook his head and just said that he was just trying to help.
If it wasn't for him, how could Zhenjun Xuanyong chase him in and instigate Hei Xun to rebel? Now that he saw Demon King Kuihu was at a disadvantage, he abandoned him, which was against morality, so he had to come and take a look.
Demon King Kuihu felt a little relieved and looked at Lin Fan next to him.
"Your Majesty, this is my brother."
Lin Shan introduced him.
On normal days, it might have attracted Demon King Kuihu's attention, but now he was in a desperate situation and didn't have that much energy at all, so he just nodded lightly.
Next, get down to business.
Lin Shan stopped talking and stood aside to listen to Demon King Kuihu arranging defense matters. He used every soldier and horse as much as possible to keep the old Demon King's cave airtight.
Its reinforcements are also coming in a steady stream, waiting for the final battle!
Once Kuisang Ridge falls, it will be the last straw for the regime, regardless of its practical or symbolic significance.
Demon King Kuihu was also forced to go into exile like the original Demon King Yuanlu, losing all his territory and power.
"Okay, from now on, you all have to perform your duties without slacking off at all. Get out!"
After the arrangements were made, all the demons left the table one after another, and Lin Shan also retreated.
Because he was also the cave master, he also had his own cave in Kuisang Ridge. When he came back, he took out the summoning flag and summoned a group of monkeys from the Ginkgo Cave.
"Zhizhizhizhizhi~~~"
This group of monkey monsters were very wary when they came to a strange place. They scratched their heads and looked around. Especially after seeing Lin Fan, they all burst into tears, obviously still harboring grudges.
Lin Shan threw them all directly to Brother Ji. They were all demons anyway, so it might be easier to communicate.
Although I can't change anything in this kind of war, I still have to do my best.
In the next few days, the situation became increasingly tense. The spies at the foot of the mountain were dispatched hundreds of times a day, and spying on military information came in like snowflakes.
Finally, the army of Yuanlu Demon King came to the border!
Because the attack front was too long, and there was not enough time to digest the acquired territory, as well as the placement of the wounded and sick, the long-term rest and recuperation of the army gave Demon King Kuihu a chance to breathe.
Now that the offensive and defensive forces are different, it will inevitably be awkward when the two meet again.
Demon King Yuanlu didn't talk too much. This time, with the help of many demon kings in the Swallowing Star Mountains, he had to fight quickly to avoid changes later.
It just stood on the cart, its eyes glaring at the opposite side like torches. With the vision of a formation master, it could see many things.
It is indeed the Old Demon King's Cave. The formations in it have been blessed by several generations of demon kings and are indeed impregnable with very few flaws.
But it already knows everything and has it in mind.
He quickly told his subordinates all the weaknesses of the route and taught them how to break the formation.
Then the three armies came out with great noise, prepared their formations and launched a fierce attack!
Demon King Kuihu had no intention of coming out to fight. He followed the order and defended tightly, using positional warfare to wear down the opponent and consume his strength.
The two kings and overlords once again went up to the sky to restrain each other, fearing that the other would interfere with the battlefield below.
Fighting with large corps, especially attacking fortresses, is the toughest battle.
Troops of soldiers and horses staggered to cover each other, with the military souls above their heads protecting them from the attacks on the mountain. They began to follow the instructions of Demon King Yuanlu and move through each formation gate in an orderly manner.
The generals on Kuisang Ridge have also been stationed for a long time, and they are constantly fighting with each other.
Lin Shan is still in charge of the Demon Palace, and when Demon King Kui Hu is away, he is asked to help him take charge of the overall situation, which shows his trust in him.
But Lin Fan and Chicken Brother couldn't stay idle at all. They had already led the monkey monsters from Ginkgo Cave and ran down to join the battle.
This battle lasted all morning, and the brutality was appalling!
There were mountains of corpses and seas of blood inside and outside the formation. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but neither side retreated. The smell of blood surrounded the entire mountain.
Many soldiers and horses were destroyed in an organized manner, and those who were disabled began to merge with each other, and they would not give up even if they fought until the last moment!
Lin Shan was in the Demon Palace on the top of the mountain, watching the flames of war below, which made him hard-hearted.
Only when a loophole is about to be broken, the reserve force Flying Tiger Army will be sent out to put out fires everywhere.
But even so, it still can't stop the continuous offensive!
The number of enemy camps is really huge. They take turns to go into battle, repair, merge, reorganize, and go into battle again. They are determined to defeat them in one battle!
Especially the killer weapon 'formation-breaking vehicle', which is a magic weapon developed by Demon King Yuanlu himself. It is equipped for each battalion to break the formation. It is very powerful and can be called unsolvable!
With the support of the army, they can attack wherever they want, with extremely high efficiency.
In one afternoon, the entire line was basically drilled through.
Then at night, torches were lit everywhere, and the armies of Demon King Yuanlu burned up their lights to fight at night. Not only did the offensive not stop, but it intensified.
After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the defense line was crumbling and already in danger!
Only a loud roar was heard from behind:
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm here, old bear!"
General Xiong led most of the troops and arrived from behind late at night!
The monsters in Kuisang Ridge were exhausted, but when they heard about the arrival of foreign aid, they were all overjoyed and extremely happy.
Lin Shan suddenly stood up and walked to the door of the Demon Palace, feeling something was wrong.
"General Xiong, aren't you guarding the Aurora Sea? Why did you run back to the front line?"
When General Xiong saw it, it turned out to be Lin Shan, and he immediately laughed loudly and said:
"The king is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch, Military Advisor Lin quickly open the formation and let me in!"
The generals below could hardly hold on any longer, and they all shouted out responses.
"Wait!"
Lin Shan shouted sternly, ordering the generals to strictly guard the door and not to act without authorization.
"Everyone performs his own duties and controls his subordinates. No one is allowed to start the formation without my order!"
"Huh?"
General Xiong was furious. The thousands of soldiers and horses behind him were billowing with demonic aura, and they felt oppressive from all sides.
"Lin, what do you mean? Why are you shutting me out?"
The demons below were also puzzled. The situation was extremely urgent, so why were they blocking the reinforcements?
Lin Shan sneered.
General Xiong didn't come earlier or later, so why did he come at this time?
He had been stabbed in the back once, how could he be fooled a second time?
