144 Loss

At the inner city gates, Yang Xingwu’s Cyan Silk Domain expanded. Cyan silk danced in the air, silently piercing through the bodies of mortal demons. Meng Chuan transformed into lightning and roamed the area. When he passed an area, a black baneful aura spread out. Although the baneful aura was too dispersed and it had reduced power, it still froze the mortal demons into ice sculptures. All of them froze to death.

Swoosh.

Following that, Meng Chuan took a step forward and transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky. He arrived at the inner city walls.

“Ah Chuan.” The flames around Liu Qiyue converged as she welcomed him.

“Are you alright?” Meng Chuan had noticed many second Firmament demon monarchs rushing towards Qiyue.

It was enough for the ordinary Godfiends to deal with the cleaning up. There was no need for them.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were in no hurry to return because this was their first time on the battlefield. They had yet to calm down.

“General.”

“General.”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue walked through the tunnel connecting the inner and outer city pass. Many soldiers were extremely reverent as they bowed respectfully.

These ordinary soldiers addressed the nine deputy generals as generals.

“This is the battlefield.” Liu Qiyue looked at the empty area between the inner and outer city pass. It had long transformed into a sea of fire. Godfiends were slaughtering the demons.

“If we can’t stop them, it will be the demons slaughtering humans,” said Meng Chuan.

“Yes, Eastcalm Prefecture. Back then, the demons slaughtered humans wantonly,” said Liu Qiyue. The invasion had changed her greatly.

The officer said respectfully, “Yes, there was indeed less than a thousand. However, almost all the demons that reached the outer city pass have the strength of greater demons. More than 70 percent of our soldiers are at the Marrow Cleansing realm. Twenty percent of them are at the Mortal Shedding realm. Only five percent have reached the Seamless realm. No matter how well-prepared we are, we will still suffer losses in a chaotic battle.”

When Zhang Yunhu came over and saw this scene, he waved his hand and instructed, “Go do what you need to do.”

“Yes, General.” The officer respectfully retreated.

Zhang Yunhu looked at the corpses that were being moved. He asked calmly, “Find it unacceptable?”

“About 2000 people died or were crippled in battle,” Meng Chuan asked. “We should have won a great victory this time. Why are the losses still so great?”

Zhang Yunhu nodded. “What can we do when the demons don’t care for their lives? We’ve already used all our strength to block all the demon monarchs. Only a few mortal demons can reach the outer city pass. There are fewer than a thousand demons that can reach the city walls. To have less than a thousand reach the outer city pass out of more than a hundred thousand demons, we’ve achieved a huge victory because we suffered very little losses.”

“Very little losses?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were stunned.

“It’s indeed considered a small loss. Last year, North River Pass suffered two attacks from the demons. The ones who died and were crippled to be unfit for combat totaled 11,000 people,” said Zhang Yunhu. “At the end of last year, our North River Pass had 11,00 new recruits.”

Meng Chuan was stunned.

Last year, they suffered two attacks, and each attack averaged a loss of 5000 soldiers. Of course, many of them were crippled and unfit for combat. However, this was shocking.

“Although we suffered significant losses, our battle results are even more obvious,” said Zhang Yunhu. “For example, we killed ten third Firmament demon monarchs and 63 second Firmament demon monarchs! There were even more mortal demons! Although the demons are much stronger than us, they immediately retreated after we killed ten third Firmament demon monarchs. They also feel the pain.

“They aren’t endless. If we kill enough of them, they will feel the pain and be afraid enough to retreat.” Zhang Yunhu smiled. “Of course, the greatest contribution this time isn’t about killing demon monarchs but to defend North River Pass. We managed to protect the people on this land.

“As long as we hold on, people can procreate. As long as we persist, we will definitely win,” said Zhang Yunhu, his eyes filled with anticipation. “One day, humans will give birth to incomparably powerful Godfiends. Maybe the World Entrances will suddenly disappear. Since they can suddenly appear, they can also disappear. There are many other possibilities.
