Chapter 1322: Experiencing Despair

Tuomu Hai gazed far off at Ye Liuyun, a hint of despair rose in his heart.

And Ye Liuyun remained silently watching them in place, issuing no orders, not even taking out a transmission talisman.

"Leader, what should we do? Should we break out?"

Tuomu Hai's subordinates also grew anxious.

"Breaking out is worse than fighting in close quarters inside the city!", Tuomu Hai replied.

"Then what should we do now, just wait for those worms to dig a gap?", the leader urged anxiously.

"Do you have a plan?", Tuomu Hai countered.

The leader stared for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "I'll lead people down to wipe out those worms!"

"Alright, go!", Tuomu Hai also said without hesitation.

Now any possible method is worth trying.

The leader of the Xia Dynasty also immediately noticed that foreign tribes were rushing down from the city walls.

Without waiting for their orders, inside Qin Peng's warship, they had already surged forward and begun bombardment.

Qin Peng had long anticipated this, wanting to prevent them from descending to fight desperately, so he had already readied the warship.

His warship launches quickly, moves fast, and bombards frequently; thus some foreign tribes, as soon as they descended, were blown to ashes.

"Shield troops! Cover those worms and block the opening!", the Fourth Prince also immediately ordered.

Thus, ten squads of hundreds of shield troops raised their shields, blocked the attacks from the city walls above, and charged toward the base of the wall.

Although some were struck down along the way, most still managed to get through.

After these shield troops rushed into the opening made by the mechanical beetles, they used their shields to seal the gap, preventing outsiders from entering to attack the beetles.

"We could send a team to attack from the city gate, so they don't come out from there.", Qin Peng reminded the Fourth Prince.

Now the foreign tribes are piling up to block the city gate from inside.

Sending a team to attack would both stop them from sealing the gate and prevent them from emerging to kill the beetles.

The Fourth Prince immediately appointed a leader to take troops and begin assaulting the city gate position.

Thus the curtain rose on the siege battle.

"Boom—"

Part of the city wall collapsed there; even two squads of shield troops were mostly crushed to death inside.

"Oh no, those beetles won't be buried inside, will they?"

As a leader voiced that worry, everyone noticed that the recently fallen boulder showed movement.

Soon after, the round black head of the mechanical beetle protruded, and then quickly crawled out from inside.

"Great! This thing is truly formidable for siege!", several leaders exclaimed upon seeing it.

Once the beetles crawled out, they immediately began digging again.

Not long after, two more spots gave way to collapse.

Tuomu Hai on the wall had already begun preparing to retreat.

If the wall collapses, those on it will fall down and be killed.

They had already dispatched over ten teams successively downward, all annihilated by the warship without even contacting those worms.

It's ready!

Suddenly, Ling Haokun signaled Qin Peng.

Then everyone saw that those worms began to crawl back.

"Prepare for a full-scale attack!", Qin Peng told the Fourth Prince, then ordered the warship to bombard the wall where the worms had just dug.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Before all the warships' firepower could fully unleash, everyone saw that the city wall near the foreign tribe's gate began to rise like a demon emperor.

Then the warship bombarded a few more times, and a large section of the wall also began to collapse with a roar.

"Good!"

Some leaders and soldiers of the Xia Dynasty also cheered together.

"Kill!"

At the Fourth Prince's command, a leader immediately led troops to charge forward.

This large gap could fully allow an entire squad of soldiers to pass.

The barrier the foreign tribes relied on for resistance completely lost its function.

The soldiers outside the city had already seen the foreign tribes arrayed in strict readiness inside.

"Warships, accelerate!", the Crown Prince also commanded the warships to speed up, getting ahead of the soldiers and beginning bombardment of the foreign tribes.

Tuomu Hai had never been defeated so badly before.

Even after retreating to their lair, they still easily lost the city wall.

"Sir, why don't you flee first? We'll cover your retreat!", a foreign tribe leader said, still quite loyal.

"I definitely can't escape! If you want to flee, you go!"

Tuomu Hai used his divine sense to look at Ye Liuyun, discovering that Ye Liuyun had also been staring at him.

He knew Ye Liuyun had locked onto him, and he was certainly unable to escape.

Moreover, having suffered such a crushing defeat, he had no face to flee; for a leader, the battlefield is his best resting place.

Ye Liuyun, however, was thinking in his heart: "Do you know what despair is now? You monsters should never have come to invade us humans."

"Although you were allowed to run rampant for a moment, destruction is your destined fate!"

"Let you experience despair before death, so that even in your next reincarnation you dare not come again!"

At this moment, the demon cultivators inside the city already had thoughts of fleeing, but as soon as they stepped out another city gate, they were bombarded back by the army led by Zuo Mu using warships.

"Attack! Kill all the monsters and traitors inside the city, none are to be let go!" Zuo Mu ordered.

His mission this time was to surround and annihilate the fleeing foreign tribe army, and of course also included these traitorous demon cultivators!

Those demon cultivators either die on the spot, or are blasted back into the city to await death!

"Sir, send a few Tianzun Realm experts to kill that Ye Liuyun; perhaps without a commander, their army will retreat on its own!" Someone suggested to Tuomu Hai.

Tuomu Hai, however, shook his head.

"Useless! Going there would be suicide!"

First, Ye Liuyun wasn't involved in command at all. Even if Ye Liuyun were killed, it wouldn't change their fate.

Another reason is that behind Ye Liuyun stands that elite soldier corps and Qin Peng's 200,000-strong army. Sending a few people over would basically be sending them to their deaths.

They can't even get close to Ye Liuyun before being taken down by the warship or that elite troop.

As for the large force, they definitely can't break out now. Outside, millions of troops are waiting to charge in—how could they break through!

At this moment, Qin Peng also brought Ling Haokun back to Ye Liuyun's side.

"Ghost Hand Master, you've worked hard!" Ye Liuyun gave a respectful gesture to Ghost Hand.

"Where, where, it's just what I should do!" Ghost Hand felt proud inside, but in front of Ye Liuyun he really couldn't bring himself to boast.

"The situation is already decided!" Qin Peng walked over and said to Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm! Lock onto that foreign tribe's Great Leader, Tuomu Hai! He's the foreign tribe with silver scale armor. Absolutely cannot let him escape!" Ye Liuyun also had Qin Peng help keep an eye on Tuomu Hai.

Tuomu Hai gave a bitter smile, knowing he definitely couldn't escape today.

He hadn't even planned to run in the first place!
