As Long Chen shouted and released arrows, the arrow towers did not move out; instead, the Tianlong Legion soldiers bent their bows and fired arrows.
How far can a manual bow and arrow shoot? He couldn't even break through the defensive range of the grand formation before landing on the ground. Ye Lingfeng was so angry his head felt like it would explode.
"Haven't you eaten? He had no strength at all—how could he save his allies? Long Chen was furious and shouted at these people.
A soldier complained, "You can't blame us! We were just frantically repairing the formation platform, exhausted and dizzy, with no strength left." Long
Chen shouted, "Nonsense! Why don't you use long-range cannons?" "
Our long-range cannon isn't fully installed yet. We can't use it now. If we want to get it done, it will take at least an hour." The soldier said anxiously.
"Nonsense, why take so long?" Long Chen shouted angrily.
"It's because we were too nervous just now, and some parts were installed incorrectly and need to be reinstalled." The soldier hurriedly responded.
"Alright then, keep shooting arrows. As long as I keep working hard, I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate!" Long Chen said helplessly.
Long Chen's words spread far and wide, clearly meant for Ye Lingfeng. Aren't you supposed to be awesome?
We want to save you now, but there's not enough time. Why don't you try to hold out for an hour? Then we can save you.
"Long Chen, you..." Ye Lingfeng roared.
"What do you mean, I can't help it. It's normal for the brothers to be nervous in such a fierce battle.
The Divine Clan's calendar clearly states that not rescuing comrades while ensuring one's own safety is a capital offense.
But the situation is special now. Coming out under such circumstances is like trying to save someone from a well—not only is it useless, but it also means risking the lives of our 100,000 people.
So, even if the Divine Clan punishes us in the future, we still have reasons to stand firm. Commander Ye, I'm truly sorry. Sigh, don't worry. After you die, we'll burn more paper money for you, so you can live comfortably in the underworld. Long Chen sighed fakely, looking helpless.
"Go with peace of mind, we'll miss you all." The soldiers of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion shouted in unison.
At this moment, Ye Lingfeng was like an ant on a hot pan, watching his defense weaken and the number of fallen soldiers growing. If this continued, morale would collapse, morale would fade, and their defense would immediately collapse.
"Long Chen, what exactly do you want to do to save us?" Ye Lingfeng had already accepted defeat; he was well aware of the position of the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion.
As long as Long Chen wanted to save him, he had a way. But Long Chen simply didn't want to, seemingly confident that even if he tricked them to death, he would have a way to escape punishment, which made him panic.
"These demon beasts were all attracted by you. You tried to trick us, but ended up trapping yourself and trapping yourself.
So, if I want to act, I can act; if not, no one can blame us.
But since we're all serving the divine race, I can give you a way out. My conditions aren't many—we've saved you. All the corpses of the beasts on the battlefield will be ours." Long Chen said calmly.
"That's impossible. We've used so many weapons, lost so much energy, lost so many brothers, and all of it was given to you. What are we supposed to do?" Ye Lingfeng roared, Long Chen was too venomous. This was a massive number of demon beasts, and the points he could earn were simply a terrifying fortune.
Long Chen ignored Ye Lingfeng and called out behind him, "Brothers, when will the equipment be repaired?" "
Soon, with three incense sticks' time left, we can go out and fight." Someone hiding in the shadows responded loudly.
Long Chen nodded, his face full of admiration, and said, "Not bad, much faster than expected. Keep up the good work." After
speaking, Long Chen turned to Ye Lingfeng and shouted, "Commander Ye, although you rejected me, I will still lend you a helping hand. Don't worry."
Don't worry, if you hold out for three more incense sticks' time, we'll be able to activate the grand formation to save you. Hold on, I'm counting on you. "
Forget about the time it takes to burn three incense sticks—judging by the current situation, they can't even last half a stick of incense. Right now, they are like candles flickering in the wind, ready to go out at any moment."
"You won. Everything will go your way." Ye Lingfeng finally compromised.
"Brothers, are our equipment fixed?" Long Chen shouted pretending to be a show.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, we just found that our equipment was not installed incorrectly, just a minor malfunction. It has now been corrected, and the formation can function normally." Someone exclaimed in delight.
"Haha, that's wonderful! Brothers, our allies are in deep trouble. As the saying goes, 'beasts are ruthless, but people have feelings.' How could we just stand by and do nothing? Activate the grand formation, kill! Long Chen shouted loudly.
"Buzz"—
All the formations activated, shooting arrows from the endless light screen, actually tearing through the void and heading straight for the distant battlefield.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the void exploded, and an arrow exploded in the air, sending purple powder scattering everywhere.
The once violent demon beasts began to rapidly decline in momentum, becoming weak and even their attacks slowed down.
"What's going on?" Shen Chengfeng was shocked. A single explosive arrow could affect an army of hundreds of millions of magical beasts—this was too bizarre.
"What's there to be surprised about? This is the antidote. It's like a man who, after taking that medicine, struggles all night, suddenly wears off and wilts in an instant." Long Chen said indifferently.
The reason these demon beasts were so fierce was because of the aphrodisiac drug, which overdrew their power. It was precisely because of this that Ye Lingfeng was in grave danger.
After fighting for so long, their stamina was nearly depleted. With Long Chen unleashing the antidote, these demon beasts found it difficult to even stand, let alone fight.
"Rumble...
Endless arrows flew through the void, forming rune prisons within the void that surrounded the entire battlefield.
"Commander Ye, bring your men out." Long Chen said calmly.
Ye Lingfeng's three war chariots roared forward. The demon beasts had no strength to stop them and were all knocked away. Ye Lingfeng and the others easily escaped.
However, of the more than thirty thousand men he brought, over five thousand had died at this moment, which was a huge loss for the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion.
The void roared and exploded, and more and more rune arrows shattered, transforming into chains of runes filling the sky, sealing off the entire battlefield and trapping all the demon beasts inside.
Looking at those weak, lifeless demon beasts, Ye Lingfeng's eyes turned green. All these demon beasts had actually belonged to Long Chen.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a carriage sped rapidly toward the distant void. Seeing the carriage, everyone cried out in surprise:
"Lady Fengfei?"
That huge and luxurious carriage—the divine clan—everyone knew it. That was Lady Fengfei's exclusive carriage. I didn't expect her to come in person.
As the carriage sped over, people were shocked to discover that behind it was a massive corpse stretching hundreds of li.
It was a giant, with a pair of bat-like blood-red wings, a golden chain tied around its neck, dragging it as it galloped over.
When they saw the corpse, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine. Even just a corpse filled people with endless fear. The terror of this corpse in life was unimaginable.
Those demon beasts who had been immobilized inside the rune cage and roared endlessly now stood motionless, not daring to utter a sound.
"Bloodwing Demon King, oh my god, Lady Fengfei actually slew a Bloodwing Demon King and brought back his corpse." Shen Chengfeng cried out in surprise.
"That corpse is very strong." Long Chen felt the pressure radiating from the corpse, his heart skipping a beat. The corpse gave him an immense sense of threat; it was hard to imagine how powerful it was while alive.
"Of course he's strong. The Bloodwing Demon King is someone even elders of the Tianzi generation can't deal with.
This Bloodwing Demon King is a royal family member of the demon clan. Only those with pure bloodlines can produce beings at the level of demon kings.
Such a guy is terrifying in terms of status among the demon clan, guarded by countless powerful demon clan members.
But Lady Feng Fei was able to slay it and even obtained a complete Bloodwing Demon King's corpse. In this world, perhaps only a powerhouse of Lady Feng Fei's level could do that. Shen Chengfeng's eyes were filled with admiration, and even his voice trembled slightly, showing how deeply excited he was.
"What's going on? On her way back, Lord Fengfei heard a call for help here. Are you lying about military intelligence? A
guard stood in front of the carriage, inspecting the battlefield with everything under control, and couldn't help but shout angrily.
Ye Lingfeng felt the world spinning in an instant, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. He wished he could bang his head against it.
Why not hold on for a few more breaths? If Long Chen didn't need to save them, Lady Fengfei would have stepped in.
"Thud!"
Ye Lingfeng suddenly knelt down, his voice choked with tears, "Lord Feng Fei, you must stand up for me! Long Chen is too cruel, causing the deaths of over five thousand of our brothers."
And tricked us out of our spoils—this damn bastard is doomed..."
As he spoke, the mighty commander of the Heavenly Dragon Legion broke down in tears.
"Long Chen?"
The guard's expression changed. He looked toward the figure inside the distant grand formation, veins bulging on his forehead. The guard was none other than the white-clad guard who had pulled Long Chen's whip after leaving the teleportation array, but Long Chen snatched the whip and struck him back.
"Long Chen, why aren't you coming out here to explain?" The white-clad guard shouted coldly.
"Who do you think you are, that you deserve me, Long Chen, to explain? Be your dog well, don't bark recklessly. Although I don't eat dog meat, don't force me to be a butcher. Long Chen said coldly, this guy is really a pig—only remembers the food but the beatings. It seems that last time with a whip didn't teach him a lesson.
Suddenly, all the warriors of the Third Heavenly Dragon Legion knelt before the carriage, their faces full of grievance and resentment, and they shouted loudly:
"Please, Lady Fengfei, stand up for us!"
