Chapter 3612: Refusing to Open the City

Exterminate those beasts for me!

Changyun Marquis immediately also directed his guard unit to exterminate those Monster Beasts. The men Ye Liuyun brought were in the central army, making his command somewhat unsmooth. Like an eyesore nail stuck in his army.

Changyun Marquis's guard unit consists entirely of Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators, each the strongest in the army.

Set up formation!

Ye Liuyun saw his guard unit coming to kill him, and immediately had Qiong Qi set up a formation, letting everyone nearby enter the formation to avoid danger.

Those guard units had no choice but to first attack the formation. However, Lei Ming, Bai Hu, the nine-headed magic dragon and other Monster Beasts began to pick off the strong soldiers with the Technique, causing heavy casualties to the guard unit in a short time.

Kill!

After Ye Liuyun felt it was about enough, he again led the Monster Beasts out to kill. The nine-headed magic dragon's World-Ending Black Lotus and the Demon Lion's Piercing Bone Nail, Tang Xinyao's Blood Mist Grand Formation, instantly killed many guard unit soldiers.

Feiyun and Mountain Cat also repeatedly succeeded, killing many experts.

Changyun Marquis, Song Qing, and Du Hansong, watching from afar, all frowned, not expecting that so many experts would be almost wiped out so quickly.

The soldiers who rushed over to kill Ye Liuyun were also all slain by Ye Liuyun in just a few strikes.

Around Ye Liuyun's neck was wrapped a small red snake, which was the Red Silk Snake helping him absorb opponents' bloodline power. Ye Liuyun then released bloodline power, suppressing the enemy's strength; the Demon Slaying Sword was nearly unstoppable, nothing could block his strike.

The two demon swords coordinated perfectly, needing no command from him; once the Red Silk Snake absorbed the opponent's bloodline power, they seized the chance to cleave the enemy.

He's actually this strong! Du Hansong saw Ye Liuyun slaughtering in all directions, killing Ninth Realm soldiers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and couldn't help but lament in his heart: "This battle is impossible to fight!"

Soon, the guard unit sent out by Changyun Marquis was completely wiped out.

Everyone, attack together! Changyun Marquis also grew angry, ordering the soldiers to attack together.

But suddenly, everyone around Ye Liuyun retreated into the formation. The Red Silk Snake stood at the edge of the formation, absorbing the bloodline power of the charging soldiers, causing them to collapse in circles and turn into dry corpses.

My lord, their firepower is too fierce, we should retreat! At this moment, a Leader beside Changyun Marquis also suggested he withdraw troops.

Although Changyun Marquis was angry, he hadn't lost his mind; his soldiers charged for half a day but couldn't get close to the Demon Race army, and instead tens of thousands had already been killed; if they didn't withdraw, they would be completely annihilated by the Demon Race.

Damn the Demon Race! Withdraw troops!

Changyun Marquis cursed, but still ordered a withdrawal.

For these 300,000 people, wanting to withdraw is no easy task; they must leave some to hold back the Demon Race army, otherwise they will be chased and attacked by the Demon Race army.

Surround them and chase them to attack!

Ye Liuyun saw they were about to withdraw, and immediately issued an order to the Demon Race army.

The Demon Race army immediately tightened the encirclement, firmly surrounding both flanks, not allowing them to easily withdraw.

However, because the Demon Race army dared not get too close, Changyun Marquis's army still managed to withdraw about half from the battlefield; those who didn't withdraw are doomed to die here.

Don't chase for now; first wipe these out, then pursue them—they can't escape.

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the Tiger-Head Beast King to kill the remaining soldiers.

Then he notified the cities under his control to close the Teleportation Array, and had the Martial Cultivators of other cities destroy the Teleportation Array. Especially Black Cloud City, which is a transit hub for the Teleportation Array; as long as Black Cloud City's Teleportation Array is closed, Changyun Marquis cannot escape.

Thus the Demon Race army tightly encircled the remaining Dynasty Army, continuously bombarding until not a single one remained.

Afterwards, the army immediately regrouped and pursued in the direction Changyun Marquis fled.

The task of cleaning up the battlefield was given to the Demon Race army that had been besieging cities along the way.

responsible.

Changyun Marquis lost just like that? Song Qing saw this and still felt somewhat incredulous.

I never expected they still had this kind of war chariot killer! Du Hansong shook his head, looking helpless.

Why didn't they use it before? a Leader under him asked Du Hansong in confusion.

Du Hansong gave a wry smile: 'Using a cattle knife to kill a chicken! This great killer of his was specially prepared for the Central Dynasty's army. Now the Demon Race can easily take control of the Southern Region, and the Central Dynasty will send no more troops.'

At the moment Ye Liuyun led troops out to meet the enemy, he suddenly understood why Ye Liuyun had gone to war with the Central Dynasty. Upon seeing the firepower war chariot, he immediately grasped Ye Liuyun's intention.

He now admired Ye Liuyun even more, estimating that Ye Liuyun had long ago considered how to deal with the Central Dynasty.

I'm actually not as far-sighted as a mercenary! Du Hansong said self-mockingly, then returned to his residence in dejection.

Some understood his meaning, while others remained clueless, not knowing what he meant.

What should we do? a Leader quietly asked the person beside him.

What should we do? Heh, just wait! Those who understood already knew they were destined to surrender, with no chance of victory.

Wait for what? some Leaders still looked bewildered.

After Changyun Marquis led his troops away in retreat, he hurried to the nearest city—only to find that this first city was under the charge of Ye Liuyun's people as City Lord.

When they arrived, the city was already on high alert; the City Lord had mobilized all mercenaries, garrison troops, and Martial Cultivators, saying that these defeated dynasty troops might come to loot them.

The townspeople, unaware of the situation, also thought these defeated troops truly intended to loot them, so they flocked to help defend the city.

The Southern Region's Teleportation Arrays have all been sealed; you may make your way back on your own!

When Changyun Marquis's army arrived, they only received this reply.

Absurd! Open the gate, I want to inspect it myself! Changyun Marquis certainly didn't believe it.

For the safety of the townspeople inside, we cannot open the gate! the City Lord remained unmoved.

We are the Central Dynasty's army—do you really think you can defy orders? Changyun Marquis also didn't expect to encounter a snag in such a small place.

No matter where the army comes from, nobody opens the gate! the City Lord refused to yield.

Changyun Marquis, in anger, ordered the army to attack the city.

He thought it was just a small city that could be taken in less than two hours; then, leaving via the Teleportation Array would definitely be faster than reaching the next city by warship.

Moreover, he thought there were garrison troops here, so the Demon Race army might not dare to pursue this far. Having suffered at Ye Liuyun's hands, failing to take a small city would be too frustrating.

Unexpectedly, the Martial Cultivators here fought with all their might to resist; after two hours, casualties were significant, yet the city remained uncaptured.
