Chapter 2704: Lost Life (1)
Xiu had already noticed the exhaustion of the alliance army. If it continued, the alliance army would be defeated by the Devil Race.
Therefore, he made the decision to strategically retreat at a critical moment and handed over the burden of resisting the devil soldiers to The Rising Sun City's defensive shield.
They couldn’t hide forever in The Rising Sun City, however. The Devil Race would one day break the defensive shield, and once they started fighting again at that time, the Barren Land would have no room to maneuver.
Relying on the war of attrition strategy, they were able to continue to consume the forces of the Devil Race, and by fighting them, they further depleted the devil army. But right now, the alliance army needed to rest, and it was also time to test The Rising Sun City's defensive shield.
The devil army also tried to pursue, but was blocked by The Rising Sun City's shield.
The alliance army withdrew to The Rising Sun City. The whole city was crowded everywhere by the alliance troops. All the wounded were transferred to the underground city for treatment.
The Night Overlord changed its shape and became no different from an ordinary magical beast; only then did it enter the city, while the Lava Overlord suddenly disappeared after the entire army retreated into the city.
Shen Yanxiao immediately arranged for the combatants to rest, and all logistics personnel were responsible for providing food and water.
"How did those two phantom beasts appear here? Without them, I don't think we would have made it until Vermillion Bird and the others came back." Du Lang wiped the sweat from his face. This period of time had felt longer than a year. Many of his brothers fell down each moment. It was impossible to count the number of comrades who had died.
The most disastrous losses were suffered by the army of magical beasts. Before Vermillion Bird brought back reinforcements, The Rising Sun City's magical beast army did not have any Mythological magical beasts, so they were easily massacred by the demon beast army.
Had it not been for the two Overlord-level phantom beasts joining midway through the battle, perhaps every magical beast on the battlefield would have collapsed.
Shen Yanxiao shook her head and said nothing. She was looking for the figure of Yun Qi and Nangong Mengmeng. In the entire Radiance Continent, the Warlocks with the ability to summon phantom beasts were only Yun Qi and Nangong Mengmeng. The two Overlord-level phantom beasts were probably summoned by them. Uneasiness continued to linger in Shen Yanxiao's mind.
With Yun Qi and Nangong Mengmeng's strength, the possibility of summoning an Overlord-level phantom beast was too low, but she couldn’t think of anyone else besides them who could possibly do this.
Finally, Shen Yanxiao found Ye Qing in the crowd.
"Master, where are Master Yun Qi and Mengmeng?" Shen Yanxiao asked.
When Ye Qing saw Shen Yanxiao, he froze slightly. He turned his head away and avoided her gaze. He just quietly instructed the members of the Pharmacist Union to manage the wounded.
Ye Qing's attitude greatly expanded Shen Yanxiao's uneasiness. She still wanted to ask, but an anxious-looking Uncle Jiu had arrived in a hurry.
"Lord, Lord Xiu is looking for you."
Shen Yanxiao gritted her teeth, took one look at Ye Qing, and immediately followed Uncle Jiu.
Ye Qing stood in place, watching Shen Yanxiao's retreating figure gradually disappear in the crowd. He bowed his head and his drooped eyes were faintly moist.
Yun Qi, our disciple is really the best kid in the world.
If you could see her like this, you would surely be very happy for her.
The army retreated into the city. Yun Qi, who had stayed in the summoning array for a day and a night, could no longer hold up and bid farewell to the world completely after the last soldier entered the city. He fell in a pool of blood and died with a gratified smile on his face.
Taking Shen Yanxiao as a disciple was the greatest pride of his life.
He had no regrets.
