284: 169: Suo Lun’s army!
Proposing to Gui Qinshao!
What are the consequences of tens of thousands of people running for their lives?
Crowding, trampling, injury, death!
The soldiers of the Tianye City Allied Forces discarded their weapons and armor, not even having ti to mount their horses, and they just started running as fast as they could.
Given a lot of money, they would never co to this damned place again.
Ou Wuyang and the other ten giants of Tianye City desperately tried to stop their troops.
However, faced with such a situation, even a genius commander could not stop the rout.
So of these giants were highly skilled in martial arts, and a few were even Dragon Samurai, but at this ti, no level of skill could make a difference.
Their soldiers, too, were running for their lives.
At this mont, these giants could only command their dozens or hundreds of personal guards, like a tiny boat adrift in a sea of tens of thousands of fleeing soldiers.
“My lord, we must run now, or we’ll be killed by the undead army or the Silver Wolf Legion soon,” soone said to Ou Wuyang.
Ou Wuyang looked at the great defeat unfolding before him and felt like crying without tears.
This battle had lasted a month, mobilizing over fifty thousand troops, and spent more than a hundred thousand Gold Coins on military expenses.
And then there were incalculable losses due to severed trade routes and caravan raids.
They were only trying to eliminate the Silver Wolf Legion, but the cost was too great.
And now, far from being eradicated, they were severely defeated and retreating.
After a month of fighting, the twelve-family allied army had lost thousands of lives.
The Silver Wolf Legion, at most, had lost only a few hundred.
And in this night’s catastrophic rout, the casualties from being trampled by each other far exceeded the total from the previous month.
…
Suo Lun exhausted his strength to throw the Dragon Fla Seal into the undead army.
In an instant, countless undead threw themselves into the flas like moths to a fla.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…” They desperately burrowed into the Dragon Fla.
This scene was too magnificent.
Countless undead, one after the other, finally turned to ash.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of undead were completely devoured by the Dragon Fla, disappearing without a trace.
anwhile, tens of thousands of the Allied Army had long since disappeared from sight, surrounded by endless crowds in chaos, everyone running for their lives, with anyone going slower at risk of being trampled to death.
The fleeing crowds, like a terrible tide, could no longer be stopped or controlled.
After a grueling half an hour, the terrible chaos ceased.
Tens of thousands of the Allied Army had fled completely, leaving nothing but bodies and the wounded strewn across the ground.
Next, Tianye City would face significant trouble.
So of these routed soldiers would return to camp, but many would seek refuge within Tianye City.
Around the Huangquan Ancient City, the encampnts were littered with bodies lying in all directions, along with those not quite dead, now screaming in agony.
This mass escape had left at least five to six thousand dead or wounded—more than the total casualties of the previous month.
The ground was littered with armor, bows, and weapons.
Since it was a siege, there was no need for horses, so all the warhorses were kept together in one place.
But the escape was so sudden that there was no ti to ride to the horse pen.
Countless warhorses, too, scattered in all directions, running aimlessly at first.
Once the army had completely disbanded, however, they cald down, wandering around and grazing on the grass.
Throughout the entire process, the Silver Wolf Legion remained assembled in formation, motionless.
They watched in shock, having believed their situation hopeless, only to witness Suo Lun performing an astounding miracle right before their eyes.
The mont the countless undead appeared, they too were stunned, their legs turning weak, but not a single one fled,
because they had already resigned themselves to certain death.
Moreover, the countless undead were directly surging towards the enemy.
So, on Yan Yan’s orders, the entire Silver Wolf Legion stood in an orderly formation, unmoving, witnessing the entire event.
…
Suo Lun went to pick up the Dragon Fla Seal, and by now he dared not touch it with his hands—it was no longer scalding but nearly burning.
He covered it with the jade box and tucked it back into his chest.
He had succeeded.
He had helped the Silver Wolf Legion break out before dawn, staging a miracle that should have been impossible.
Yan Yan stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and presented his sword with both hands, saying, “Yan Yan of the Silver Wolf Legion greets our lord.
From now on, the Silver Wolf Legion will serve the Suo Family generation after generation, never to betray.”
Suo Lun took the sword, then returned it with both hands, and stretched out his own hand.
Yan Yan bowed his head and kissed Suo Lun’s ring.
At the sa ti, hundreds of Silver Wolf Samurai behind him knelt down in unison and spoke together, “The Silver Wolf Legion greets our lord.”
From that mont on, the Silver Wolf Legion pledged their complete loyalty to Suo Lun, becoming the Suo’s military force.
At the city gate, Yan Nai’er, with a proud figure and stunningly cold beauty, watched the scene unfold, her eyes slightly reddening.
This was perhaps the mont she had long dread of witnessing.
…
Next, the Silver Wolf Legion did not imdiately leave but set about cleaning up the battlefield.
The field was covered with armor, weapons, food, and warhorses.
First and foremost, they collected the warhorses, then set up pots to cook and ate their fill, even taking a few hours to sleep and recover their strength.
By midday, these few hundred elite Silver Wolves, each with three horses, loaded with all their spoils, left Huangquan Ancient City and returned to the Silver Wolf Army Camp.
And on the way, Yan Yan encountered no less than eleven ssengers.
Ji Gang was dead, the remaining eleven household giants had all co pleading, begging for peace, a truce, and concessions.
