Chapter 1242: Victory After a Long Time

Tuomu Hai could only say that after the army pulls back, they'll assess the situation on the Great Summer Imperial Dynasty's side before deciding.

"In fact, one or two individuals may not have much impact on the whole battle, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

Tuomu Hai added an explanation, hoping Ba He Lei would abandon the idea of taking risks.

However, Ba He Lei said indifferently, "Humans are nothing but our food and slaves! How can we let them run rampant!

And I suggest converting all Demon Cultivators into Corpse Slaves, so no accidents will happen in the future!"

When he said that, many Foreign Tribe members immediately voiced their agreement.

Not only because Ba He Lei is of the Nobility, but also because they truly have no goodwill toward humans.

Tuomu Hai muttered inwardly that these people don't understand the reality: "Without these Demon Cultivators, we have even less advantage against Human Martial Cultivators! Only these Demon Cultivators know what humans are thinking!"

He didn't elaborate, just said calmly, "We are currently in a manpower‑intensive phase of the war. If these Demon Cultivator slaves all become Corpse Slaves, their flexibility will drop sharply, which is detrimental to the battle. First pull back the main army a bit; we can discuss the rest later."

Thus, Tuomu Hai gave the final word, ended the discussion, and set about arranging the phased withdrawal of the main army.

Ba He Lei, after Tuomu Hai left, said with some disdain, "I think our War God is getting a bit old!"

Several Foreign Tribe members flattered him in agreement, lifting Ba He Lei onto a pedestal.

Ba He Lei felt a bit elated. He believed that after taking some men to eliminate Ye Liuyun, it would surely crush the morale of Human Martial Cultivators.

To him, killing Ye Liuyun would be as easy as crushing an ant.

At that thought, he rallied a few Foreign Tribe members, led a squad of Corpse Demons, slipped out of the main army, and rushed to the battlefield to hunt for Ye Liuyun's whereabouts.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun had already joined forces with Qin Peng.

In this battle, Qin Peng mainly used Warships to strike the Foreign Tribe army. Most of the close‑quarters fighting was handled by Ye Liuyun, who was directing those Demon Cultivators to battle the Corpse Demons desperately.

The Foreign Tribe army has now been completely shattered. The Corpse Demons have begun scattering in a desperate flight.

For the few remaining Demon Cultivators, Ye Liuyun gathered them to hunt down the Corpse Demons until they all fell in battle.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng returned to An Ding City.

The Fourth Prince and the Crown Princes, after intercepting the reinforcements, withdrew to their respective cities.

Ye Liuyun, to show his gratitude, sent them a substantial amount of supplies.

Anyway, he had seized so much that he couldn't use it all at once.

Although he fought using his own resources, the loot he captured, combined with donations from the continent's civilians, actually turned a profit; he didn't incur any loss.

After entering the city, Qin Peng handed the hundred‑thousand Demon Cultivators he had brought over to Ye Liuyun.

These Demon Cultivators were all eliminated from their Sect. Sending them to fight won't affect the Sect's development.

On the contrary, it served the elite line of the Demonic God Sect. Ye Liuyun's side also replenished its troops, and under the influence of the Nine Nether Prelude, they became an elite force.

The Demon Cultivators are all equipped. What Ye Liuyun needs to do is use Divine Soul Power, employing the Nine Nether Prelude to influence them, making them regard Ye Liuyun as a Demon God, and then obey his commands absolutely.

Thus, after handling it, Ye Liuyun pretended to give a brief speech and then handed the people over to Qin Peng for training.

Training soldiers, forming battle formations, etc., he's not as capable as Qin Peng.

When Qin Peng took over, he found these Demon Cultivator soldiers had changed! They were especially easy to train, highly cooperative, and disciplined. Compared to before they arrived, they were a completely different lot.

"This is amazing! How did you give the speech? How did they change so suddenly?"

Befuddled, Qin Peng asked Ye Liuyun for an explanation, also hoping Ye Liuyun would give his own army a similar speech.

Ye Liuyun laughed at him: "My speech only works on these Demon Cultivators! Your army, you'll have to tame it yourself, slowly!"

Next, Ye Liuyun returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to continue his cultivation.

He has been in many battles lately, his realm has been honed solidly, and he should seize the chance to breakthrough.

When Qin Peng arrived, he no longer needed to worry about anything.

Qin Peng took over the defenses not long before he could even go into battle, and already noticed the Foreign Tribe army withdrawing in an orderly fashion.

"Hey, I haven't even fought yet, why are they already fleeing?"

He realized it was due to the Foreign Tribe's lack of supplies, and immediately dispatched a large Demon Cultivator force to seize a city.

After occupying the city, he reported to Ye Liuyun, asking whether to push forward further.

"Go! Since they've withdrawn, how could we not seize the chance to retake the lost ground!"

Thus, all of Ye Liuyun's armies advanced forward.

When he moved, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Princes also led troops to follow, occupying the two cities nearest to Ye Liuyun.

The Great Summer Imperial Dynasty's army also advanced on all fronts.

Since the war began, they had been retreating, but after Ye Liuyun arrived, they began reclaiming the lost territory.

Although Ye Liuyun himself took no credit, these Leaders were no fools. They all knew what Ye Liuyun had done and how much he contributed.

Thus, for a time, the entire battlefield revolved around Ye Liuyun.

Some Leaders even proactively sent Transmission Talismans to contact Ye Liuyun, seeking coordinated action to expand the gains.

Ye Liuyun naturally welcomed this. For friendly Leaders, he would also send them some supplies for them to take back.

In this way, his manpower improved.

Moreover, after they occupied the new side city, Qin Peng proactively dispatched troops, fought two battles against the Foreign Tribe army, winning both. This boosted the morale of all the Great Summer Imperial Dynasty's forces.

Some Leaders coordinated with each other and also secured several victories.

Many Foreign Tribe armies suffered heavy losses and needed to reorganize. Half a month later, the Foreign Tribe army was forced to retreat further.

When they withdrew, the dynasty's army advanced another layer.

When the dynasty learned that its army had finally won a battle after a long time, it sent some resources as a commendation.

Even Emperor Xia hadn't expected that after Ye Liuyun arrived on the battlefield, he would have such a great impact.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun seized the opportunity, surged forward again, pierced straight into the Foreign Tribe's defensive line, and captured a city.

Like a dagger, he sliced through the entire Foreign Tribe defensive line, tearing a gap.

However, now his front and both flanks are filled with Foreign Tribe armies, surrounding him on three sides.

Ye Liuyun, however, was not worried at all. After capturing the city, Qin Peng took with him 200,000 troops and a new 100,000-strong Demon Cultivator army, withdrew, and provided support for him from behind.

Even if he couldn't hold it, he could withdraw at any time.
