Chapter 1231: Double‑Sided Pincer

On Ye Liuyun's side, the Corpse Demon Army has almost been wiped out. He doesn't chase the fleeing Corpse Demons.

Fighting on open ground is different from fighting inside a city; to let none escape, a massive force is required.

Ye Liuyun doesn't seek perfection; once things are roughly settled, he immediately leads everyone together with the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet to attack the Foreign Tribe army to the south.

He and Zuo Mu coordinate perfectly, a two‑sided pincer that overwhelms the Foreign Tribe.

Evil Dragon leads the charge, charging into the Corpse Demon ranks to break their formation, followed by Warship bombardment.

Thus Ye Liuyun's side holds a clear advantage.

Immediately the Magic Vine extends its vines into the vanguard of the Corpse Demon Army and begins devouring.

The Sealing Demon Tablet is hurled straight at several Foreign Tribe Leaders within their army.

The Foreign Tribe Leader, originally at the Tianzun Fifth Layer, sees the Sealing Demon Tablet bearing down, instantly leaps into the air and throws a punch.

Unexpectedly, his punch is like a stone sinking in the sea, failing to stop the tablet; the tablet slams him down, punching a deep crater into the ground.

The guards beside that Foreign Tribe Leader are all crushed to death.

Ye Liuyun notices that the more power the Sealing Demon Tablet absorbs, the larger it becomes, and its crushing radius expands considerably.

Moreover, its rate of energy absorption accelerates.

At the Tianzun Fifth Layer, it takes but a breath to finish absorbing, then it hurls itself at other Foreign Tribes.

Those Foreign Tribes, lacking experience against the Sealing Demon Tablet, do not think to flee; instead they try to joint‑attack it.

But their attacks are ineffective, and anyone who gets close is absorbed by the tablet.

"Divert half the Warships to aid the Demon Race!"

Ye Liuyun does not join the fight; he observes the battlefield.

Seeing the Demon Race's siege force is weaker, he promptly redeploys Warships to help them breach the Corpse Demon defenses.

Ye Liuyun's Warships have been specially modified by Du Yan and others; in speed, attack frequency, and power they far surpass ordinary Warships.

Thus a single Super Warship of his can easily handle two or three ordinary Super Warships.

Soon after the battle begins, the Foreign Tribe's Warship fleet is shattered by Ye Liuyun's fleet and can no longer exert force.

Without Warship attack and defense, the Demon Race's losses are far smaller.

With Evil Dragon clearing the way, Zuo Mu's troops also break smoothly into the Corpse Demon ranks.

Ye Liuyun's side has the Magic Vine, propelling faster, soon reaching the Corpse Demon army's center.

His Kuailei and Demon Cultivators, under Warship cover, line up neatly and spread outward.

The Corpse Demon Army is utterly routed and begins to flee.

Zuo Mu's pressure eases dramatically.

The remaining tasks become much simpler.

Zuo Mu and Ye Liuyun pursue the fleeing enemies together for a while; Evil Dragon, being the fastest, catches up with many.

But once the Corpse Demons scatter, they are hard to chase.

Finally both sides regroup and return to the Demon Race base.

Evil Dragon takes up too much space, so Ye Liuyun leaves them outside to sweep the battlefield and hunt the fleeing Corpse Demons.

Both the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet are collected by Ye Liuyun.

"Good brother, you arrived just in time! If you hadn't come, we'd have been wiped out by the Alien Evil Artifact!" Zuo Mu exclaimed, pulling Ye Liuyun.

"I rushed over as soon as I heard the news; luckily I wasn't too late!"

In this situation Ye Liuyun fights side by side with Zuo Mu, their coordination seamless, and their relationship naturally deepens.

After a brief chat, Zuo Mu introduces Ye Liuyun to a Demon Race Clan Chief, Elder, and several Leaders.

Ye Liuyun also hands over the Spirit Stones, pills, Warships, equipment, Formation Plate, jerky and other supplies he had prepared for the Demon Race to Zuo Mu.

He had anticipated the Demon Race might be trapped and low on supplies, so he brought some over for Zuo Mu.

"Hurry and distribute them to the troops!"

Ye Liuyun knows this is no time for reminiscing; the enemy could strike again at any moment, so the army must be equipped first.

Zuo Mu looks at the supplies, so excited he can't find words; the Demon Race's own resources had long been exhausted.

"These things are a lifeline for us! We can't thank you enough!"

The Demon Race's Clan Chief, Elder, and Leaders all repeatedly thank Ye Liuyun with excitement.

"No need for formalities; eliminating the Alien Evil Artifact is each of our responsibilities. My ability is limited, so I brought you this much; make do with it!" Ye Liuyun said politely.

Zuo Mu nods gratefully at Ye Liuyun and immediately orders the supplies distributed.

After a while, cheers erupt from the Demon Race's main army.

Hearing the cheers outside, Zuo Mu smiles awkwardly at Ye Liuyun: "To be honest, we fought until we ran out of food! The soldiers haven't eaten in over ten days!"

Zuo Mu also hands out some jerky to everyone in the hall.

These people have never seen jerky, but they rave about its taste.

"I still have two hundred thousand troops and will soon reach the nearby Sunrise City. Once this passage is opened, supply issues will be solved. Let the soldiers eat the jerky; I'll dispatch another batch right away."

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the Demon Race to reach this level.

It seems that if he hadn't dispatched troops, Emperor Xia would already have abandoned the Demon Race!

Next, Ye Liuyun explains to Zuo Mu and the other Leaders how to use Warships, Formation Plates and other gear.

Having just witnessed Ye Liuyun's Warships, they are eager for such vessels.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun directly gives them ten Warships.

"Brother, you're giving us these Warships outright; isn't that a huge loss for you!" Zuo Mu says apologetically.

"In special times, don't be formal with me. We still have to fight the Alien Evil Artifact together. Your strength gives us support!"

Ye Liuyun stops Zuo Mu from being polite and says, "Use the time to get a soldier familiar with the equipment. Once they're trained, we'll dispatch troops immediately, retake the cities the Foreign Tribe recently seized, and catch them off guard. If they finish preparing, it'll be much harder to attack!"

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away!"

Zuo Mu also knew the matter was urgent, and immediately ordered the Leaders to go down and prepare.

Capturing those cities would be equivalent to pushing the Foreign Tribe's army far away, and their Demon Race, only then would the siege be completely broken.

Ye Liuyun also began using the Transmission Talisman to contact Zhuge Feiyu, Liang Xue and others, asking them to send additional food, equipment, Spirit Stones and other supplies.
