1236: Chapter 1196: The Battle Ends 1236: Chapter 1196: The Battle Ends The soldiers before him were all frightened, trembling uncontrollably, their hands and feet shaking non-stop.
Lu Chuan spoke indifferently: “Where is your general?”
“He will co back soon to take revenge on you, you killed our siege behemoth, we will definitely not let you go!”
Lu Chuan sneered, “I’ve easily slain your strongest one, and yet you’re still talking tough here.”
“Your general, I think he didn’t go to find reinforcents but rather abandoned you, so he could escape while you block my way.”
With these words, the soldiers looked at each other, seeming to think there was so truth to what Lu Chuan said.
Lu Chuan looked at the small mound of ashes next to him.
“Heh, I didn’t expect the Divine Fire of the Sun to be so powerful, killing that huge creature so easily.
I was just testing the waters; I didn’t expect it to be resolved so neatly.”
“It seems this war has co to an end.”
“You are no match for us.”
Lu Chuan said in an even tone.
The remaining soldiers slowly laid down their weapons.
They were definitely no match for the Lu Chuan before them.
After calming down, they all realized this truth.
Lu Chuan continued, “This is good, those who understand the tis are the real heroes.”
“Your rear troops should be engaged by now, but if Lu Shenji that guy ran back, he probably just led his team to flee!”
“Ah, what a pity.
The remaining n can’t stop him; he could easily escape with the main forces.
Otherwise, I could have slain him and given the Lu family a little shock.”
“Such a pity indeed.”
Lu Chuan sighed.
Then, he looked at the soldiers in front of him and ordered, “All of you, lie down on the ground and wait for our n to co, then take you back to the city, and spill everything you know!”
The soldiers did as told, having completely lost their will to fight, even less willing to struggle.
With such a fierce siege behemoth slain, any resistance from them would simply be seeking death.
Lu Chuan rode on, continuing to advance forward.
He went to et up with the main force to see what the situation was like with Wu Tongwei and the others.
As Lu Chuan rode on, he saw points of light moving like nurous stars, akin to a flowing river of stars.
Lu Chuan knew that was where the two armies t, still fighting.
anwhile, thousands of ters ahead.
Wu Tongwei led a cavalry charge, with a group of soldiers behind him, initiating an assault.
“Soldiers, to protect our holand, charge!!!”
On the other side, Dongfang Cheng led a group of n to encircle them, planning to completely cut off the enemy’s retreat.
The tens of thousands of soldiers of the Lu Family Army, with their trendous montum, were undaunted and imdiately counterattacked against the surprise attack.
A small-scale skirmish ensued between the two sides.
But just then, Lu Shenji ca galloping in at full speed.
“All n, heed my command!”
His voice was loud and resonant, like a ringing bell, and the soldiers imdiately heard his order.
“All n, heed my command, begin the retreat, escape from this place, avoid the sharp edge for now, we will fight another day!”
His roar quickly spread through the crowd and reached every ear.
The crowd obeyed, instantly arranging their formation, beginning their retreat in a defensive manner.
In the distance, seeing this, Wu Tongwei raised his torch high, “Charge at them, they are already afraid, they’re no match for us, slaughter them to the last man!”
He shouted loudly and led his troops to continue the charge.
But the Lu Family Army ford an ironclad formation, defending and retreating at the sa ti, and quickly withdrew from this area.
As for Wu Tongwei, though eager to pursue, his rationality told him that it was ti to stop.
Pushing soone to a desperate situation, only to have them counterattack fiercely, would cost them too much.
This ti, successfully repelling the enemy, was already a satisfactory outco.
The Deputy General ca to Wu Tongwei’s side, “Lord Wu, the enemy just withdrew like that, isn’t it odd?”
“What’s odd about that?
Their main reliance is gone, if they don’t flee, staying here ans death!”
“Is the main reliance you ntioned that behemoth?”
“Nonsense, of course it’s that behemoth!
The battle is already over.”
“Unbelievable, we actually won so effortlessly.”
Wu Tongwei started to feel emotional.
The war had indeed been sowhat easier than expected; he thought that eting the Lu Family Army would result in a clash of titans, where neither side would yield.
However, in reality, their confrontation lasted less than ten minutes.
“It seems, Lu Chuan did an excellent job, if not for Lu Chuan’s efforts upfront, that guy wouldn’t have scurried back in such a sorry state!”
“We wouldn’t have been able to win so effortlessly either.”
Wu Tongwei sighed.
At this ti, Dongfang Cheng and his troops also arrived.
“Lord Wu, what’s going on here?
Did you put too much pressure on them and scare them off?”
Dongfang Cheng ca riding over with a hearty laugh.
“Of course not, we’ve only just begun our attack and had a few exchanges.”
“Unexpectedly, Lu Shenji rushed over and imdiately led the main force to retreat.”
“I reckon, Lu Shenji must have been traveling atop the siege behemoth’s back, but encountered Lu Chuan, and then disgracefully fled back here.”
Dongfang Cheng suddenly exclaid in admiration, “Really?
Lu Chuan is too formidable, he directly sent that guy fleeing hither and thither!”
“Of course, I guess he resolved it very quickly, very effortlessly, which put considerable psychological pressure on Lu Shenji, prompting him to hurriedly escape here.”
“This ti, we really have to thank Lu Chuan.
If it wasn’t for him single-handedly stopping the siege behemoth upfront, the outco of this war would still be uncertain.”
Wu Tongwei’s brows furrowed tightly; if the two armies were to engage in an all-out fight.
The consequences…
would probably be very horrifying.
At the very least, heavy casualties and bodies everywhere would be unavoidable.
But now, Lu Chuan’s overwhelming strength concluded the battle.
And Lu Shenji was a sensible man, realizing it’s better to keep the green hills undestroyed, as there’s no worry of no firewood to burn.
Moreover, this ti, he had assessed Lu Chuan’s strength and would approach the next attack with even more confidence.
At this mont, Lu Chuan also rode over.
“How’s the situation here?
Is the battle over?” Lu Chuan asked curiously.
“Of course, it’s over.
Lu Shenji rode over, and without uttering another word, led everyone to flee from here!”
“That guy is really cowardly, but even if he weren’t, he would have had no choice, the siege behemoth is already dead, right?” Wu Tongwei asked, smiling.
“Of course, it’s dead.
I killed it very effortlessly, without any pressure.”
“As for Lu Shenji, he really is a shrewd person, capable of quickly assessing the current situation and then reacting swiftly.”
“If such a person launches another attack, we still need to be careful,” Lu Chuan said with a solemn expression.
