MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1452 - 47: Avoiding the Edge

The collapse of Da Qi has become settled, and after the third clash, the morale of the remaining five hundred thousand soldiers of Da Qi has completely collapsed.

Fifty thousand Banner Flags remained unscathed, while they had long been driven to the brink of despair.

The great defeat began, Da Qi’s army started to flee, and Qi Zuo, during this third clash, was specifically targeted by Zuo Sha Heng and slaughtered on the spot.

Without their leading Great General, the remaining soldiers lost their backbone, utterly terrified by the dreadful prowess of the Da Qin Dragon Flag.

Next came the massacre of Da Qi’s fleeing soldiers by the Banner Flag.

A scout hurriedly barged into the Qi Country Lord’s quarters, who was resting with eyes closed, waiting for good news.

"Report... report to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Qi Country Lord opened his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Panicking like this, what does it look like? Tell me, has good news arrived from the front line?"

"No... no, it hasn’t." The scout swallowed nervously, his expression slightly fearful, and said tremblingly: "The Da Qin Dragon Flag has broken our forces completely in three charges, and the Great General seems to have died under the Butcher’s Knife of the Banner Flag."

"What?!" The Qi Country Lord was shocked and jumped up from the chaise longue.

Grabbing the scout in front of him, his face contorted with anger, "What did you say?! Say it again!"

"Da Qi... has been defeated, General Qi Zuo is suspected dead in battle, our eighty thousand soldiers of Da Qi suffered heavy casualties, fleeing in defeat, now being pursued by Da Qin Dragon Flags."

This time, the Qi Country Lord was dazed, released the scout, his figure staggering as if barely able to stand.

"Then... then what about the Five Countries Alliance Army? Didn’t they promise to cooperate with my Da Qi to annihilate Da Qin? Where are they now?!"

Upon hearing this, the scout smiled bitterly and said, "According to reports from other squads, the Five Countries Alliance Army did deploy, but they were entirely intercepted by Da Qin’s other forces, currently engaged in battle, completely unable to spare any assistance for my Da Qi."

"Damn it, damn it! What does it mean to be intercepted by Da Qin’s other forces? He Qin Country has only one nation’s army, the most elite is engaged in combat with my Da Qi, how could the remaining remnants maneuver through the Five Countries Alliance Army? These people clearly intend to use a knife to kill, watching my Da Qi perish!"

In an instant, the Qi Country Lord seemed to lose his soul, collapsed into his chair, his eyes hollow and spiritless, with the defeat of Da Qi, there was no meaning left in revival and rebirth anymore, while burdened with Taichu Evil Thought’s command to slaughter lives, this loophole was extremely simple, one couldn’t see life’s vitality, then they truly did not have to care about this command and shift to seeking life’s meaning after rebirth.

But with this defeat, Da Qi had no more motivation to survive.

Honor above all, Da Qi’s glory was completely trampled.

As for the other five countries, they were also extremely shocked and angry, because they discovered, Da Qin was truly risking everything against them this time.

Without fighting to the last man, they had no way to break through Da Qin’s blockade line and take a step forward.

Whereas Da Qin can fight to the death, the soldiers of the other five countries cannot.

Often breaking a Da Qin defense line, would cost the five countries two or three corps.

This consumption is so dreadful, even if they pierce through Da Qin’s defense line, when they come before the Banner Flag Army, they would not have the capability to eliminate the Banner Flag.

Instead, due to heavy losses, they would be killed in return by the Banner Flag.

"Can’t go on like this, those Qin folks are heedless, but we have to care."

"Right, as long as the green mountains are there, there’s no worry for firewood, can’t just die-hard against Da Qin here, it’s completely meaningless."

"We still have many troops that haven’t returned, we can first gather all our people, then the time would be right for confrontation with Da Qin."

The lords of each country continued to speak after receiving the battle reports, each one clearly expressing that now is not suitable to directly exhaust resources against Da Qin, better to preserve strength.

The five countries unanimously agreed on this strategy and began ordering a retreat.

General Yan Nanxing of Da Yan slashed fiercely with a blade, shattering the head of a Da Qin soldier before kicking the corpse away, wiped the blood from his face and looked around, this wave of Qin Army had been almost completely slaughtered by them.

Nearby were the corpses of dead Da Qin soldiers.

Yan Nanxing raised his hand, summoning the Deputy General.

And this move seemed to tug at Yan Nanxing’s wound, instantly making him grimace in pain.

"Well then, report the battle situation."

Upon hearing this, the Deputy General immediately spoke: "In this battle, our losses approached sixty thousand, two corps were annihilated, troop numbers... can be abolished."

Upon hearing the Deputy General’s report, Yan Nanxing spat fiercely: "Darn, why do those Da Qin people act like lunatics, just attacking a mere ten thousand unit, yet costing my army sixty thousand, even renouncing our two numbers, damn it, what bad luck!"

And just as Yan Nanxing was cursing, a scout strode swiftly to his side.

Looking at the waist badge hanging from the scout, it was the messenger of the Country Lord.

Yan Nanxing pouted, speaking: "I’ve said it, stop urging, stop urging, damn it, my men are fighting to the death, urging for a feather!"

Previously, Yan Nanxing received three consecutive orders from the Yan Country Lord, demanding to quickly break through the blockade line set by the Qin Army and cooperate with Da Qi’s army to encircle and annihilate the Banner Flag Army.

So naturally, he assumed this current messenger was also a hurry-up.

But the scout’s next words left him stunned on the spot: "General Yan, it is not so, the Country Lord orders an immediate retreat, return to our Da Yan station, no mistake allowed."

Yan Nanxing was stunned for three seconds, then his eyes instantly reddened, like an enraged lion, grabbed the scout and pressed him down at his feet: "You hellin’ say it again!"

"No, General Yan, this is against Your Majesty’s command, you... you don’t need to take it out on me!" The messenger shouted somewhat aggrievedly, back then Da Qin and Yan Country had a great war, at that time Yan Nanxing led Da Yan’s one million lion forces and fought a fierce battle against Da Qin on Changtian Road, the battle was extremely bloody, both Da Qin and Da Yan killed in a frenzy, daily deaths numbering tens of thousands, fighting continuously for almost half a month.

At the time, the Da Yan King was a newly enthroned emperor, a bit indecisive, and the courtiers had exhausted their resources in this battle.

But when the battle dragged on and losses were heavy, those courtiers backed down, fearing exhaustion of resources, would leave them powerless, and thus, continuously persuading the Emperor to order Yan Nanxing to retreat.

Then, the Da Yan King was truly persuaded, chose to order Yan Nanxing to retreat.

However, in reality, although losses were heavy for Da Yan, Da Qin was simultaneously engaged with another war on one side with Zhao Country, dual-line combat rendered Da Qin incapable of a protracted battle.

Just needed to wait a little longer for Zhao Country to experience tight battles, Da Qin would have to retreat from Da Yan, then, Yan Nanxing would personally lead the lions to pursue the Qin Army, even reclaim territory, attacking into the Da Qin boundaries.

Initially, Yan Nanxing did not accept the orders from the Yan Country Lord, opting for the saying that generals in the field are not subject to orders.

But such behavior, especially toward a newly enthroned emperor, was seeking one’s own demise?

Twelve Golden Tokens from Da Yan Palace reached the frontline directly.

But Yan Nanxing ignored them all.

Finally, the Da Yan Emperor got anxious, alongside courtiers, dispatched elites in the name of decreeing, to the front line, encircling Yan Nanxing forcefully in the inner city.

This behavior led to the dispersal of the Da Yan Army’s spirit, Da Qin took advantage and broke through Yan Country’s defense line, bloody massacre stretching for thousands of miles, blood flowing like rivers.

For the defeat of this battle, the Da Yan King and a cluster of courtiers put the blame squarely on Yan Nanxing, saying it was his disregard for royal orders and stubbornness that led to the defeat.

Thus, after Yan Nanxing’s death, until the fall of Da Yan, all Da Yan’s people reviled Yan Nanxing.

And not long ago, the great revival event enabled Yan Nanxing to be reborn, renewed himself amidst Da Yan people disdainful of him, from their contemptuous hateful words, Yan Nanxing learned of the emperor and courtiers’ vile conduct.

Then, Yan Nanxing fortuitously found the recently revived young Yan Country Lord and killed him again.

Now, the Yan Country’s current lord is the old lord from the previous reign, but he does not know who killed his son, still persistently sending people to find his precious child.
