  Five to six thousand people being tied down all at once, their current numbers were not much more than the human soldiers defending the northern city anymore.

  Under this kind of circ.u.mstance, how could they breach the city?

  Xiu Lie being heavily injured by the giant crossbow, his strength was greatly diminished. At this time, he already clashed with Wang Yifeng.

  Although he could suppress Wang Yifeng, wanting to finish off the other party within a short time was very hard to accomplish.

  For some time, both sides actually fell into a stalemate!

  The humans relied on geographical advantage and finally withstood the fiend race's assault.

  Both sides unleashed a sanguinary tug-of-war on top of the city walls!

  "Damn it! Why hasn't this human's divine essence run out yet?"

  "We already have close to a thousand man squad dead, his combat power is actually still so strong!"

  "Could it be that this guy's divine sea forever won't dry up?"

  ...

  Those fiend soldiers were almost despairing. They were really using numbers to go and deplete Ye Yuan's divine essence.

  But they had already a thousand man team dead, and Ye Yuan was still full of spirit and energy, without the slightest appearance of divine essence drying up.

  Five to six thousand-man commanders wanted to besiege Ye Yuan, but they could not catch up to Ye Yuan's movement technique at all.

  Ye Yuan was like a mudfish, shuttling back and forth in the army freely. Nobody could catch his figure at all.

  Time slowly trickled by, Ye Yuan finally could not endure anymore.

  When those few thousand-man commanders saw this, each and every one of them was delighted, like they were injected with stimulants, roaring loudly. One of them shouted, "He's almost done for! Keep your chins up, kill him!"

  Those fiend soldiers were already in the battle for so long to the point they were exhausted already. Seeing the situation, each and every one of them was incredibly excited, swarming over towards Ye Yuan like tidewater.

  Continuously killing for a day and night, Ye Yuan's divine essence was really almost already nearing the bottom.

  However, his goal was already achieved.

  "Heh, Grandpa Ye played enough, not playing with you all anymore!"

  Ye Yuan laughed loudly, figure moving, directly flying up to the sky.

  Sword maneuvering flight!

  Those fiends were utterly dumbstruck with amazement. They expended a price of close to a thousand people before finally depleting Ye Yuan's divine essence.

  But he directly flew away!

  "Kill!"

  Right then, an ear-splitting roar rose up from the dense forest. All of the fiend soldiers' faces immediately turned ashen!

  The reinforcements were here!

  Chapter 1472 - Narrow escape!

  Behind the fiend army, the tidewater-like human army arrived with a roar.

  The addition of the reinforcements made the already almost collapsing fiend army thoroughly lose the last trace of hope.

  The moment the human army charged, the fiend army immediately fell to pieces.

  A siege battle played out into a one-sided slaughter.

  Day after day of fierce battles, the fiend race had long reached the brink of collapse.

  With the addition of reinforcements at this time again, they were directly routed.

  On top of the city walls, Xiu Lie's gaze revealed a look of despair when he saw the earth-shaking battle-cry.

  He knew that these 30 thousand troops were considered to have thoroughly fallen here!

  "Xiu Lie, offer up your life!"

  Right then, a figure tore through the air and arrived, heading straight for Xiu Lie.

  When Wang Yifeng saw the arrival, he said with a look of pleasant surprise, "Lord Wu Tianxiang!"

  He had long been an arrow at the end of its flight under Xiu Lie's strong attack, looking as if he was about to lose.

  Wu Tianxiang suddenly arriving finally let him heave a sigh of relief.

  This Wu Tianxiang was precisely Kangding City's defending army's great general, a half-step Divine Lord expert!

  The current Wu Tianxiang had a soaring momentum, while Xiu Lie was already severely wounded. The two people's strengths were not on the same level at all.

  One exchange and Xiu Lie was suppressed in all aspects.

  In the army, Ling Feng finally let out a long sigh in relief.

  These few days, he sprinted madly day and night, finally bringing the reinforcements in the nick of time!

  Otherwise, the outcome would be too ghastly to imagine!

  After being saved at the natural chasm, Ye Yuan had him go to Kangding City to request for reinforcements.

  At that time, Ling Feng felt that it was definitely too late. But Ye Yuan insisted on making him go over, saying that they would definitely make it.

  He did not expect that they really made it!

  But seeing the desolation of the battle situation here, even Ling Feng could not help being greatly moved too.

  The defending army on the city walls did not look like much, so how did they resist this 30 thousand fiend army?

  One had to know, the northern city's defenses could not compare to the southern city's. All kinds of fortifications completely could not compare.

  Under the situation where the numbers were extremely disadvantaged, they actually persisted for so long!

  Suddenly, Ling Feng recalled Ye Yuan's calm and composed face, and could not help being startled inwardly.

  "Could it be … Ye Yuan's work? Impossible! He's just one person, how can he possibly resist the fiend race's 30 thousand troops?"

  Suddenly, his gaze flitted to those destroyed fiend crossbows, and he could not help being greatly surprised.

  Very clearly, it was impossible for the guards in the army to rush out to destroy the fiend crossbows!

  Then, who ruined the fiend crossbows?

  It could not be that the fiend soldiers themselves broke it, right?!

  Could it … really be Ye Yuan?

  Ling Feng drew a cold breath. The more he thought, the more likely this was!

  He surveyed the surroundings, but could not see Ye Yuan's figure at all.

  Kangding City's army was like a bulldozer, directly charging over from the center of the fiend army!

  At this time, Tiderain City already did not need to shut the city gates tightly anymore. After Wang Yifeng withdrew, he ordered people to directly open the city gates, welcoming Kangding City's army.

  "Leave 5000 people behind, the rest will all rush to the southern city and defend Tiderain City to the death!" In midair, Wu Tianxiang said in a clear voice.

  With Kangding City's army massacring them in one round, the fiend army was only left with several thousand people already.

  Leaving behind 5000 people plus the northern city's defending army, it was sufficient to clear up the mess.

  At the southern city's side, they were still bombarding indiscriminately, both sides fighting until the sky and earth dimmed.

  The fiend army over there was seriously too many; unable to kill finish at all.

  "Xiu Lie, prepare to die! Today, you stumbled right into a trap! Don't blame this general for not being courteous!" Wu Tianxiang laughed loudly and said.

  Xiu Lie's aura became weaker and weaker, looking as if he was about to be defeated.

  He snorted coldly and said, "Want to kill me? You dream on! Heavenly Fiend Blood Escape Grand Release!"

  Suddenly, Xiu Lie's entire body burst apart. A cloud of blood mist wrapped around the fiend soul, instantly flying out several miles away.

  Wu Tianxiang's expression changed, not expecting that Xiu Lie still had such a card to play.

  But Xiu Lie's blood escape's speed was too fast. With his movement technique, he could not catch up at all.

  Looking in the direction Xiu Lie escaped, Wu Tianxiang heaved a long sigh and said, "Such a pity! Let that fellow
escape. In the future, we probably can't dispense with going through a lot of trouble!"

  A fiend infiltrating into the human race's central region. Furthermore, it was a half-stop Divine Lord Realm powerful existence.

  How the consequences would be was really hard to say.

  Wang Yifeng went up to greet at this time, saying with clasped hands, "Lord Tianxiang, the people we sent out were all killed by the fiends, how did you get the news? I even thought that we were dead for sure this time!"

  Wu Tianxiang froze and said, "Wasn't Ling Feng sent by you?"

  Wang Yifeng was stunned too and said, "Ling Feng? This name is so familiar … uh, I remember now. Didn't he go to spy on the military movements? It's actually him! This kid really made a huge contribution this time!"

  Ling Feng failed to return after a long time, Wang Yifeng even thought that he had long died at the fiend race's hands.

  After all, with his strength, the likelihood of being discovered by the fiend race was very high.

  Of course, those soldiers who came back said that there was still a person together with Ling Feng. But he was just at the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm and could not play any part. He did not pay attention anymore.

  He did not expect that it was actually Ling Feng who went to ask for reinforcements.

  This contribution was really too big!

  ...

  Southern City, Guo Changmin stood proudly on top of the city walls and said in a clear voice, "Sandcliff, your scheme has already fallen through! The 30 thousand fiend troops that came over from Fiend Calling Ridge's natural chasm have already been completely annihilated. Xiu Lie has already been executed! Kangding City reinforcements have already arrived. Do you all … still want to continue fighting?"

  Sandcliff's expression changed greatly and he said with an astonished look, "Impossible! Fiend Calling Ridge that side prepared 100 thousand troops, how can it possibly be just 30 thousand?"

  This conclusion was seriously too beyond his expectations.

  Even if the intel was leaked, how could 100 thousand troops possibly become 30 thousand?

  But, looking at the densely packed reinforcements on the top of the city walls, it was not up to him to not believe!

  The northern city's fiend army was probably really completely annihilated already!

  Sandcliff was currently depressed until he wanted to vomit blood. Just what went wrong with the originally seamless plan?

  Several decades of preparations actually concluded in such a crushing defeat, how would he give an account to the higher-ups when he went back?

  He lost over half this time, looking like he was about to knock open the southern city's gates, but the reinforcements suddenly arrived, directly making his many days of making it through bloody battle turn into zilch.

  This campaign was simply defeated incomprehensibly.

  Sandcliff did not know that his words made Guo Changmin get a huge shock too!

  Fiend Calling Ridge that side actually had 100 thousand fiend troops!

  He believed that Sandcliff absolutely would not lie to him at this time.

  Then, where did the other 70 thousand troops go?

  If 100 thousand fiend troops all came over, even if he was long prepared, the northern city would have long been captured too!

  Several thousand people against 100 thousand people, the conclusion had no suspense at all.

  This war was truly won too by a fluke, won too bafflingly!

  As if there was an invisible large hand helping them at the back.

  Guo Changmin forcefully pressed down the astonishment in his heart and said indifferently, "Maybe those 70 thousand fiends had long fallen into the natural chasm! Sandcliff, if you want to keep fighting, this Guo will accompany you to the end!"

  The expression on Sandcliff's face was exceedingly ugly. Struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Whole army, listen up! Withdraw!"

  "Roar!"

  "Roar!"

  "Roar!"

  On top of the city walls came all of the defending army's crazed cheers!

  Chapter 1473 - Three Kneels of Gratitude!

  On the city wall, several tens of thousands of soldiers looked up at the gate tower; extremely grand.

  Guo Changmin surveyed the surroundings and said in a clear voice, "In this battle, the officers and men used their lives to repel an enemy several times the size! This general is proud of you all!"

  "Great General is mighty!"

  "Great General is mighty!"

  "Great General is mighty!"

  All the officers and men shouted in unison, the sound shaking the sky.

  One could tell that each and every one of them was very agitated, including Guo Changmin.

  In this battle, life and death hung by a thread. Just one step off and it was the outcome of the city being destroyed and people dying.

  Guo Changmin smiled and said, "It's you all who are mighty, my children! From tomorrow onwards, the three armies will be rewarded according to their merits! However, the greatest hero who has rendered a great service in this battle is precisely the one standing beside me at this time! Perhaps many of you don't know him, but you all have to know that he was the first one to discover the fiend race invading from Fiend Calling Ridge. It was also him who brought over Kangding City's reinforcements, only then did it turn back the raging tides! He is called Ling Feng!"

  Beside Guo Changmin, Ling Feng seemed somewhat uneasy and out of place.

  This scene of having tens of thousands fix their eyes on him, he was still not quite used to it.

  "Your Excellency, this officer dare not take credit! The greatest meritorious hero in this battle isn't me!" Ling Feng suddenly plucked up his courage and said.

  Guo Changmin even thought that Ling Feng was being modest, patted his shoulder, and said with a laugh, "Huhu, if it's your credit, it's yours, nobody can snatch it away! If not for you sending people to bring back news, the northern city would have long been breached. Even this general would also have to be buried within the army! To a certain extent, you defended the myriad of territories behind us!"

  When Ling Feng saw that Guo Changmin said it so solemnly, he was even more terrified and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, this battle really isn't this officer's credit! But … But somebody else's! If not for him, our squad would have been annihilated at Fiend Calling Ridge back then, and it would have been totally impossible to come back and report."

  Guo Changmin had a look of surprise on his face when he heard that and said, "Somebody else? Who is it?"

  Ling Feng said, "He's called Ye Yuan, just a human who passed by Fiend Calling Ridge …"

  Ling Feng rattled on tirelessly about the events that happened in this period of time, making everyone draw cold breaths continuously.

  Annihilating the fiend squads, falling down the cliff and not dying, cutting off the fiend race's path of retreat. This series of actions, it sounded like a myth or legend to everyone.

  "I originally thought that it was a human expert who saved us in secret. But later, the more I thought, the more off it was! Most likely, the person who insta-killed five fiend captains back then was Ye Yuan! Furthermore, when I left, I thought that it was completely too late to request for reinforcements. But he told me in all sincerity and solemness that the reinforcements can definitely make it in time!" Ling Feng also said his own guesses.

  Guo Changmin was still perplexed previously; why did the fiend race's army of 100 thousand become 30 thousand?

  But only when he heard Ling Feng say so did he have a sudden realization.

  At this time, Wang Yifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, with Ling Feng saying so, I also feel that it's very strange! Actually, the first day that the fiends besieged the northern city, the battle situation was already very critical. They leaped up the city walls several times, but those fiend soldiers were all feeble and soft; one chop and they were down! Because of this, that's how we defended for sever
al days! Later, Xiu Lie launched the assault, those commanders already rushed up to the top of the city walls. But the back of their army seemed to have had a disturbance, and that's how they didn't take advantage of the situation to enter the battle!"

  Ling Feng also said, "I saw the destroyed fiend crossbows at the back of the fiend army. The back of the army also had quite a number of people dead, but I didn't see one Tiderain City defending troops!"

  The more these two people talked, the more alarmed Guo Changmin got.

  All of this sounded like an Arabian night tale, but the result of the events developing to this point was also so reasonable.

  However, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist dictated a war of several hundred thousand?

  This … was a little too exaggerated, right?

  "Just what kind of person is this Ye Yuan? Are these things really what one person can do?"

  "This is simply producing clouds with a turn of one's hands, and rain with another! He alone dominated a war! This kind of thing, even Lord Guo Changmin can't do it!"

  "This Ye Yuan must have been sent by heaven to save us!"

  "Ling Feng said that Ye Yuan was only Heaven Glimpse Realm, could it be that he slaughtered into the back of the fiend army alone? Does this guy … have three heads and six arms?"

  ...

  The officers and men were all shocked until they could not close their mouths, speculating one after another about this behind-the-scenes hero who had never been seen, but he saved all of them.

  Guo Changmin drew a deep breath and said, "Ling Feng, not that this general doesn't believe you, but it's true that the things you said are too inconceivable! Since that little friend Ye had the intention of joining the army, I wonder where he is now?"

  Ling Feng smiled bitterly and said, "After the great battle ended, I kept looking for him too, but I couldn't find him at all."

  Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, a thunderous voice sounded out above the city's sky.

  "The hero has already gone, all give three kneels of gratitude toward the east!"

  The voice was not loud, but it was like rolling thunder, transmitting into everyone's ears.

  "Who?! Who is talking?!"
