Chapter 2244

The blue-scaled foreign tribe also didn't disappoint him; after returning, he had the soldiers gather, brought twenty thousand troops out of the city again, to find Ye Liuyun for a decisive battle.

He felt that twenty thousand was enough.

Even if Ye Liuyun's Space World were larger, holding ten thousand people would be its limit.

Moreover, this Trial Battlefield wasn't suitable for him to bring all his forces, so he deliberately restrained some.

After Ye Liuyun wiped out those three thousand foreign tribes, he immediately sent out sentries for guard and reconnaissance, beginning to arrange guards in the manner of marching and fighting.

At the same time, he also had someone notify the Martial Cultivators inside the city that a major battle would occur outside.

His original intention was to keep the Martial Cultivators inside the city from going out.

But these people were all enthusiastic, also loved to join the fun, and all ran to Ye Liuyun's place to help.

These people gathered together, numbering over three thousand.

Seeing them, Ye Liuyun felt a bit worried, not knowing how to accommodate them.

They had neither received training nor would they obey orders as absolutely as soldiers, accepting deployment.

Although Ye Liuyun explained in every way that they were unsuitable for this war, they themselves didn't feel that way, and kept pestering Ye Liuyun to assign them tasks.

Helpless, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to make them serve as the vanguard, sending them out immediately to attack the enemy's vanguard upon encounter, using them as bait.

But Ye Liuyun still reminded them: 'If you are defeated, do not flee to my main force.'

'Otherwise, you would disrupt the formation, and we would be unable to fight.'

These people still didn't care, directly saying they would not fail.

Ye Liuyun just smiled; anyway, he had already warned them, so later they couldn't blame him.

Soon, Ye Liuyun received news that the foreign tribe's army of twenty thousand had left the base, led still by that blue-scaled foreign tribe.

"Great! It seems this guy's rank isn't low; he can mobilize twenty thousand troops so quickly!"

Ye Liuyun prepared to annihilate the twenty-thousand-strong army and capture the blue-scaled foreign tribe alive.

He had Tiger King lead ten thousand troops following the three thousand Martial Cultivator bait, while he and his clone, one on the left and one on the right, donned the Invisibility Cloak to encircle from both sides.

At the start of battle, the clone led ten thousand Half-Beasts to thrust horizontally into the foreign tribe's army, then joined with Tiger King's forces to encircle the vanguard.

He retained ten thousand Half-Beasts as reserve forces, to prevent the enemy from receiving reinforcements.

He himself led the Spearhead Squad, responsible for wiping out the foreign tribe's rearguard.

Two days later, the Martial Cultivators tasked as bait encountered the foreign tribe's army.

These Martial Cultivators had been full of confidence, but upon seeing the foreign tribe's neat formation and formidable aura, they became somewhat apprehensive.

Nevertheless, some bold Martial Cultivators wanted to give it a try.

Someone proposed: 'Let's first bombard them with treasures, then charge together to catch them off guard!'

But their little strategy, in the face of the large army, was utterly insignificant.

When they simultaneously took out treasures to launch an attack, the foreign tribe's front ranks immediately raised their shields, while the rear foreign tribes launched an attack together, easily neutralizing their assault.

Another suggested: 'Scatter and charge; their individual strength is inferior to ours, as long as we can break into their formation, they're done for!'

Thus these Martial Cultivators immediately scattered and charged toward the foreign tribe's army.

"Hmph! They're just here to die!"

The blue-scaled foreign tribe's Leader merely gave a cold snort; he didn't even need to issue orders, as the vanguard's Leader would arrange the soldiers to take up defensive positions.

This blue-scaled foreign tribe, even Ye Liuyun noticed him, regarding him as a threat and wanting to eliminate him.

Evidently, his command ability over the large army is certainly not weak.

The Martial Cultivators' battle was also watched from afar by the clone.

Upon seeing the foreign tribe's defensive formation, Ye Liuyun and his clone knew these Martial Cultivators would surely lose.

"It seems this foreign tribe's Leader is not simple either."

"No need to go through the trouble of capturing him; just use the Technique to wipe them out, then charge with war chariots, so we don't suffer too many casualties!"

Ye Liuyun also immediately adjusted his tactics.

He realized that this foreign tribe's army was stronger than the foreign tribes he had previously dealt with.

The Half-Beast army, with its equipment most complete, is especially suited for such large-scale troop engagements.

They immediately finished preparing for battle.

However, those three thousand Martial Cultivators were quickly defeated.

As soon as they began their assault, several Foreign Tribe armies moved to flank them.

Their attack also met a counterattack from the Foreign Tribe; after great effort they broke into the enemy ranks, yet gained no advantage, and their casualty ratio against the Foreign Tribe soldiers was almost one-to-one.

Moreover, with the Foreign Tribe's flanking, those who reacted quickly and were timid immediately began to flee, managing to escape before being surrounded.

Those who reacted slowly were all surrounded; despite their left-and-right charges, some gathered together and broke out, but many still died.

In the end, only half of the Martial Cultivators managed to escape.

Moreover, having lost the courage to resist, they just kept running with their heads down.

The Foreign Tribe army pursued them from behind, giving them no chance to stop.

The Foreign Tribe army intended to take advantage of their retreat and directly charge into the half-beastmen's camp.

These Martial Cultivators, also seeking to save their lives, fled toward Ye Liuyun's half-beastmen army; in their panic, they had long forgotten Ye Liuyun's warning.

"A bunch of trash.

"All they do is cause trouble!"

The Tiger King gave a cold snort and shouted, "Archers!"

Immediately several rows of archers stepped forward, ready to fire.

These bows and arrows were their previous equipment; the Tiger King merely used these old weapons to scatter those Martial Cultivators, lest they rush into the army and disrupt the formation.

These half-beastmen couldn't care less about the life or death of those Martial Cultivators; they would absolutely not allow them to disturb their formation.

"Fire!"

The Tiger King, seeing that these Martial Cultivators hadn't dispersed, directly ordered the soldiers to fire arrows.

Rows upon rows of arrows were shot toward the army ahead.

"It's us! Our own people!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Our own people also shooting?"

These Martial Cultivators frantically resisted and dodged the rain of arrows.

But the Foreign Tribe army behind them treated them as a shield against the arrows.

"Did you forget how the God King previously warned you?"

The Tiger King let out a loud shout, causing some Martial Cultivators to remember, and they immediately scattered to both sides.

At this moment, the archers had already retrieved their arrows and withdrawn, revealing the war chariots behind them.

It was precisely because of these Martial Cultivators' blocking that the Foreign Tribe failed to notice the war chariots hidden within the army.

"Attack!"

At the Tiger King's command, the Half-Beast army, disregarding the Martial Cultivators ahead, sent the war chariots charging out immediately, and the army behind followed in a killing rush.

The Martial Cultivators left in the middle were now terrified to the point of stupefaction, unable to even attempt escape.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a great roar from behind them sent the Foreign Tribe's rain of arrows flying over.

Before they could react, the Crystal Stone cannons on the war chariots of the Half-Beast army fired, and in an instant, the Martial Cultivators between the two forces were either riddled with arrows like a sieve or blasted apart, blood and flesh flying.

Roars thundered across the battlefield as both sides howled and charged at each other.
