Chapter 3495: with translation of chapter title

But Chen Yueying still asked Liao Yaotian and the others: "Why doesn't he call a halt and keep slaughtering? Even if he isn't a Leader, don't all the Leaders obey his word?"

Liao Yaotian also didn't understand the question. Chen Mo understood it even less, and only Qi Tianlin guessed: "I think it's not that they don't want to stop, but that they can't stop."

"What does that mean?"

Chen Yueying and the others all looked at Qi Tianlin.

Qi Tianlin also said: "That's also my guess. You didn't hear the Leader say before, 'It's not time yet,' which shows that their surrender follows certain standards."

And didn't the Leader also say he worries about being counter‑killed? The Leader's side has few people and low realms. Now, after surrender, the captured prisoners are several times their number, and their realms are even higher.

If these people surrender and then rebel, once the Leader's side stops fighting and the soldiers rest, wouldn't they be counter‑killed by them?

With that explanation, Liao Yaotian and Chen Mo immediately understood what was happening.

"So that's how it is! It seems the Leader is thinking ahead after all!" Liao Yaotian praised inwardly.

"It's because they have experience!" Chen Mo said simply.

Qi Tianlin also agreed: "Right! It's not just the Leader; his Leaders also have experience and know what to do. So when the Leader is in battle, he doesn't need to command personally; they all know how to fight!

Even the soldiers have fought countless battles; their morale is extraordinary, they execute orders thoroughly, and their coordination is flawless! This army is no simple force!"

"The name Death Legion probably came from that!" Chen Mo said again.

With that, Liao Yaotian and Qi Tianlin both nodded. Seeing their murderous momentum, it truly makes them a Death Legion for their opponents.

They analyzed with great vigor, but Chen Yueying was only half‑understanding.

"So once this battle starts, we can't just stop arbitrarily?" she asked again.

"Of course, otherwise how could we say war is cruel!" Liao Yaotian confirmed.

Chen Yueying also nodded in agreement, looking at the grim scene and sighed: "It really is cruel!"

Qi Tianlin also said: "This is only a small‑scale war! I heard the Leader say, they …"

They had previously fought the Foreign Tribe with an army of millions. A battle of that scale is exhilarating just to think about! Seeing it once makes a lifetime worthwhile!

"In such a massive army, a battle of millions, how many would die?" Chen Yueying found it somewhat unbelievable. She had heard Lei Ming speak of it before, but having never experienced it herself, she couldn't feel it deeply.

Now that she has gone through a small battle, she finally sees what a field of corpses looks like, and finally sees that blood on a battlefield can truly flow like a river.

Liao Yaotian and Qi Tianlin actually have never seen such a grand scene. Since joining the army, they haven't taken part in any proper large‑scale war. Going out to suppress bandits or fight refugees already counted as a war for them.

So they were also deeply shocked this time. However, having served in the military, they could accept it a bit better than Chen Yueying.

"We're not even fit to be the Leader's soldiers!" Chen Mo suddenly said.

He truly envied the Death Legion. But when comparing himself to them, he suddenly felt inadequate, so he expressed his sentiment.

His words made Liao Yaotian and Qi Tianlin both sigh. They had once thought they were the best in the army, but now, compared with these soldiers, they feel somewhat inferior.

"His soldiers are really that strong?" Chen Yueying, who had just calmed down upon hearing them praise Ye Liuyun, still felt happy for him.

【9】 "That's not ordinary strength! At least we've never seen soldiers like that!" Liao Yaotian exclaimed.

"That's not ordinary strength! At least we've never seen soldiers like this!" Liao Yaotian exclaimed.

While they were chatting, several Martial Cultivators rushed here straight from outside the city.

"Princess, hurry, they're coming as reinforcements!"

By the time Liao Yaotian and the others realized, it was already too late. They were too engrossed in conversation, and the Martial Cultivators moved very quickly.

But they still drew their weapons to block the front, letting Chen Yueying go first to find Ye Liuyun.

Chen Yueying, of course, couldn't ignore them; they were all Ye Liuyun's subordinates, and if she died here, she wouldn't be able to report to Ye Liuyun.

So she immediately took out the golden bow Ye Liuyun had given her, aimed at each Martial Cultivator one by one, but didn't fire, using it to intimidate them.

That move really worked; the golden bow's threatening aim made the Martial Cultivators all halt.

Ye Liuyun also noticed the situation here,

Immediately used Space Translocation to send three stone Kuailei over, then he rushed over himself, and also notified Peng Lie to bring the Black and White Impermanences and other strong ones to guard the army, lest anyone ambush.

The Martial Cultivators, seeing no chance to ambush, immediately stopped advancing. There were eight Martial Cultivators in total, but their realms were all Sixth Layer or Seventh Layer.

A leading Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator asked Chen Yueying directly: "Who are you? Do you know this Xingqiu is the territory of our Sun family? Our Sun family is the foremost Artifact Refining Clan of the Central Dynasty, not comparable to the great forces of your other dynasties!"

"Shoot that speaking Martial Cultivator." Before Ye Liuyun's men arrived, a Transmission Voice was sent directly to Chen Yueying.

He had already learned the opponent's background from dealing with those bandits. But now their family is far away, and Ye Liuyun doesn't care at all; killing them is fine.

"But he says he's of the Central Dynasty…" Chen Yueying hesitated.

Ye Liuyun, without a word, immediately ordered the stone Kuailei to attack. He was not only unafraid of retaliation but also worried the opponent might first use some treasure. They are an Artifact Refining Clan; they can't be without treasures.

A stone Kuailei rushed forward toward that Martial Cultivator.

"Seeking death!" the Martial Cultivator shouted coldly, hurling a great hammer at the stone Kuailei.

Ye Liuyun instantly recognized the hammer's material as Bǔtiān Stone, and the hammerhead flashed with lightning, clearly imbued with thunderous power.

"Boom—" a blasting sound rang out as the great hammer struck the stone Kuailei in a single blow; although it was knocked back, the Martial Cultivator quickly retrieved it.

But one arm of the stone Kuailei was shattered, and the Kuailei was shaken and kept retreating backward.

At this moment, a young man emerged from their ranks, his Spatial Power was very strong, he wore an eighth‑tier armor and wielded a deep golden staff. In a flash he appeared behind another stone Kuailei and smashed it with his staff.

The young man was only Sixth Layer, but his strike shattered the stone Kuailei's right shoulder, causing the entire stone arm to fall off.

Then he flashed again, appearing beside another stone Kuailei and sweeping his staff at its thigh. Another "Boom—" sounded.
