Zhang Kangyi stood in an abandoned house.
After receiving the message, the surrounding wild forest was dark and gloomy, with only the rustling sound of the raindrops hitting the branches and leaves.
Du Shi'an, one of the two commanders of the Eastern Army of Bega, strode in from outside and asked him, "What reason did Gao Huaiyuan give for fighting this battle?"
The battle in the Singing Sand Forest was raging, and their spies, who had been sent out to investigate, witnessed it all. The scene was completely contrary to the Demon Emperor's demand for a withdrawal.
"He said that when the Emperor's Dew erupted, Panlong launched a sneak attack first, and he had no choice but to fight back."
Du Shi'an exclaimed, "That makes sense."
When their spies flew over, they only knew that there was a fight on both sides, but they didn't know who started it.
Zhang Kangyi said irritably, "That's just sophistry. There were dozens of gods fighting on the battlefield. Can you say that they only arrived because the enemy launched a sneak attack first?"
Dozens of celestial beings descending to the mortal realm would require dozens of celestial or beast skins. Without prior preparation, what army could possibly have so many skins?
There shouldn't be any like Gao Huaiyuan in his army either.
The Demon Emperor assigned a very specific number of divine bodies to each army, but the number of gods that appeared in this battle far exceeded the limit.
The two generals were well aware of the domestic situation and the conflict between the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly God.
Zhang Kangyi sighed, "The fact that dozens of gods have appeared in Gao Huaiyuan's army means that the gods have staked everything on this final battle. Gao Huaiyuan has no choice but to fight."
Du Shi'an's expression turned serious: "In that case, we will report to the Emperor that Gao Huaiyuan has defied the imperial decree and betrayed the country. We request that the Emperor remove Gao Huaiyuan from his position as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast and strip the entire army of its vital energy."
This accusation is significant.
Zhang Kang waved his hand: "We'll just report this, don't draw any conclusions, let the Emperor decide for himself."
Although they both believed Gao Huaiyuan's arguments were weak and his intentions treacherous, and that he was a staunch loyalist to the gods, the course of battle was unpredictable, and there was a small chance that the Panlong Army had indeed launched the attack first, with Gao Huaiyuan simply leading his troops to meet the challenge. In this situation, once the Beijia army's Yuan Power was stripped away, they would likely suffer heavy losses against the Panlong Army.
"Yes, that's the safest way." Du Shi'an understood. "You're so thoughtful."
Zhang Kangyi continued, "Even if the Emperor instructs us to take back Gao Huaiyuan's command and military power, we will arrive at Mingsha Forest no earlier than dawn, and General Hong should arrive even earlier than us."
General Hong led the Great Wind Army at breakneck speed and had long since outpaced them, which the two of them naturally knew.
“The Emperor can take back Gao Huaiyuan’s military power now, but to strip the entire army of its vital energy, it will take at least…” Du Shi’an calculated the time, “Hmm, at least three or four hours.”
If the Demon Emperor wanted to strip individual generals of their Yuan Power, it would be quick—just a decree stamped with the imperial seal. But to remove all the Yuan Power originally allocated to a million-strong army would take much longer. It wasn't as simple as stamping a seal here and then snapping it all back there.
Mass incidents are never as easy to handle as individual incidents.
Moreover, when national armies gather together, they naturally generate elemental power; it's simply a matter of strength. Even if the Demon Emperor were to strip them of their power, he couldn't completely remove it.
Three or four hours later... Zhang Kang glanced at the sky subconsciously. It was already dawn by then, and General Hong should have arrived by now, right? "No matter what, I should report to the Emperor first."
Will anything major happen in the next few hours?
……
In the Battlefield of Mingsha Forest, Xu Shichu is fighting against the immortal Xiu Tu of Bei Jia.
This Hutu was a stout giant, standing a full ten feet tall, with three eyes.
It lives in the Twilight Cloud Forest north of Bega with its three-eyed tribe. Each of them is incredibly strong and enjoys eating people.
Unlike ordinary giants, they are like a huge mountain of flesh when they are still, and like a moving mountain of flesh when they move. With each step they take, the ground trembles and they can hardly bear the weight of the ground.
Their bodies are covered with an extremely thick layer of fat, which is normally gel-like. They have the ability to use this layer of fat as armor, hard when it needs to be and soft when it needs to be. It is tough and elastic, making it impervious to blades and spears. Even heavy weapons from enemies are less likely to damage their internal organs and bones after being cushioned by this layer of fat armor.
So they also got a nickname, "mountain of flesh giants".
Although it sounded unpleasant, this layer of fat armor was truly practical, equally effective against various supernatural powers and combat techniques. Each charge of these three-eyed giants was like a chariot, and although not as powerful as the giant elephants, they could still send all the dragon soldiers flying in their path.
Xiu Tu's opponent should have been General Zhao Jinghe, but the latter was injured by Bai Zhantian, so Xu Shichu temporarily took his place. Although Dean Xu usually teaches in the academy with virtue and persuasion, he also knows a little bit of martial arts when the other party is being unreasonable.
The weapon he brought today was a vajra, which had a special effect of "one against a hundred," amplifying the master's strength several times over. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as a hundredfold increase, every bit of force Xu Shichu exerted would become five or six times the force he used on an enemy.
Although there is an overall limit, he can easily send cavalrymen and their horses flying by swinging his vajra.
Xu Shichu was well aware that on the battlefield, the effects of most supernatural powers and spells were no match for direct, direct combat.
However, Xiu Tu's outer skin was indeed too thick. Xu Shichu struck him several times in succession, but whether relying on the power of the Vajra Pestle itself or the supernatural powers attached to it, the effect on Xiu Tu was minimal. At most, he managed to give him a concussion once, but Xiu Tu shook his head and chased after Xu Shichu even more vigorously.
The types of immortals in Bega are truly diverse.
Xu Shichu cursed, "You also became an immortal in the mortal realm, so why did you slaughter your own people for the Heavenly Demon?"
"You're not my fellow countrymen!" Hutu snorted twice. He usually ate humans. "You're the fools, facing death and still not repenting."
Hugh charged at us for the third time.
With its large size and wide cross-section, Xu Shichu felt a strong wind rushing towards him, making it hard to breathe. However, when he looked up, he happened to see the abnormality in the sky from behind Xiu Tu's head.
Oh no, this is bad!
He quickly raised the vajra and stabbed at it.
Xiu Tu didn't stop him, and continued to pounce forward with a sinister grin.
Human attacks are utterly ineffective; it doesn't care as long as its opponent doesn't gouge its eyes. But the Hutuktus was also enraged, and after catching the person, it decided to eat a few bites before continuing the fight.
However, Xu Shichu's attack was not intended to strike anyone. The moment the tip of the pestle touched Xiutu's skin, it unleashed a rebounding force, sending Xu Shichu flying back four or five zhang.
The turn of events was somewhat sudden, and Hutu missed his target. Just as he was about to give chase, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head.
Hey?
By the time he realized the danger, it was too late.
