"He was clearly too hesitant!"
But there was no helping it; he could only continue to suppress his own urge to charge, wanting to observe a bit more, to see if there really were any true Reorderers within the besieged city of the Reorderers.
The demonic soldiers this time were truly worthy of being led out by Gonggong, each one fighting bravely, leaving the players struggling to cope and unable to defend properly.
While the demonic soldiers at the front launched a fierce attack, those at the rear were also fighting desperately to hold the defense line.
Their bravery in battle, their reckless courage, often even taking actions that traded life for life, caught the players off guard.
And then...
The battle line was pushed from atop the besieged city of the Reorderers to the open ground below the city walls.
"How can this be!" Gonggong was even more devastated.
There's a saying: Battle reports may deceive, but battle lines do not.
Gonggong was also puzzled, seeing how brave these demonic soldiers were in battle, why did the battle line keep moving backward?
What it didn't know was that the besieged city of the Reorderers was now the major respawn point for the players...
In theory, even if the players didn't leave anyone in the besieged city of the Reorderers at the beginning of the battle, it was as good as having half their force there.
Of course, the players wouldn't do something so risky. After all, dying and respawning at the respawn point still cost them a life.
At this time, after the Feilian was scared away, the pressure on the frontlines suddenly decreased.
Those players who died in the city or died sneaking up on Gonggong's rear, as long as they still had lives to respawn, all came back to life in the city of the Reorderers.
Didn't the number of players just keep increasing?
Therefore, the more Gonggong's side fought, the greater the pressure became.
The players sneaking up on its rear, although also suffering some casualties, did not suffer many since they were ambushing, and Gonggong merely had the demonic soldiers turn around to defend, basically still being unguarded.
There weren't many problems on the side of the city of the Reorderers either.
So, where was the big problem?
Obviously, it was on another battlefield.
On the battlefield against Kua Fu, although the players occupied a favorable terrain and surrounded Kua Fu's army, with Lord Qin and General Han Fuyue, two heroic spirits, sitting firmly in control, the difference in forces was still there.
If it were a human army, being attacked from both sides, it would have collapsed already, but the demonic army clearly didn't play by the rules, stubbornly holding on even after being beheaded and cut in the center, even with their formation completely collapsed.
And since the fallen players prioritized joining the battle at the city of the Reorderers and could not return, it caused an unceasing increase in pressure on the battlefield in the field.
Lord Qin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, obviously, this situation had also taken him by surprise.
His previous tactics, they weren't working so well anymore...
After all, his previously undefeated tactics were used against ordinary humans, not demons.
Even the most stubborn human army faced with such dire straits would have collapsed in an organized fashion, either retreating in a somewhat orderly manner to the nearby mountains or simply surrendering.
But demons really had a bit of disrespect for military virtues, clinging on without dying even in this situation.
Just then, Zhao Haiping, riding a horse at full speed and covered in blood, broke through the heavy encirclement and arrived before him.
"Your Majesty! We've suddenly come up with a new strategy. It's just that this method might require you to risk your own safety."
The "we" he referred to, of course, was the group of player strategists thinking up tactics at the rear.
Lord Qin smiled slightly, "Speak without concern! I've risked my life on many occasions; when have I ever been afraid?"
Whether it was during the time he was Lord Qin, or later as the Emperor, he lived like a protagonist from a thrilling saga, fiery and unrestrained. Previously as a supreme ruler, one man's life was tied to the fate of the entire Liang Dynasty, where he should not have risked himself lightly, yet he had always charged ahead of his troops, with exhilarating freedom.
Now that he had appeared in the prime state of a heroic spirit, he had even less reason to fear.
Zhao Haiping spoke, "The method is simple: challenge Kua Fu to a race!"
"Race?" Lord Qin was somewhat surprised.
Zhao Haiping nodded, "Yes, race him. Kua Fu has always been confident in his speed, and after a great demon has stolen Kua Fu's image, this confidence would certainly carry over.
"If we continue to fight like this, we might not necessarily lose, but our chances of victory are not high. Kua Fu is still infused with a great amount of Demonic Qi, and the demonic soldiers fight fearlessly. As this continues, the situation may not be favorable."
"But if we could lure Kua Fu away, leaving only these demonic soldiers behind, it would be much easier to deal with. This would also serve to disperse the enemy's forces and defeat them one by one.
"However...
"Though we can provide some support with righteous Qi for Your Majesty, such support will definitely be limited and can hardly compare to Kua Fu's power. Consequently, this move is not without its dangers."
Lord Qin couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Excellent, that's exactly what I wish! Let's proceed with the plan!"
Once everything was arranged, a vast amount of righteous Qi converged from the surroundings, causing Lord Qin's form to swell once again!
At this moment, on the battlefield, he truly shone with a high-level effect, impossible to ignore even if one wished to.
His warhorse took a step forward, and no demonic soldiers dared to block his path.
Then, holding his long knife up towards the sky, he proclaimed, "Kua Fu! Would you dare wager with me? I offer a hundred thousand righteous Qi, you offer a hundred thousand Demonic Qi, and whoever wins takes the other's power!"
In the sky, the shadow of Kua Fu gradually emerged, "Wager on what?"
Lord Qin spoke proudly, "Wager on whether you can catch up to me!"
Kua Fu's shadow laughed heartily, "Hahahaha! How can I trust you?"
Lord Qin smiled slightly, "I guarantee it with the righteous Qi between heaven and earth, and with it, I will forge an alliance with you!"
With that said, a great amount of righteous Qi rose up, continuously merging with Kua Fu's Demonic Qi, as if witnessing the establishment of this alliance.
This was a very primitive way. Both righteous Qi and Demonic Qi are energies contained in slices of history; therefore, they could establish some connection.
The moment the alliance was formed, Kua Fu was ecstatic.
What a foolish heroic spirit!
In its view, this was an incredibly profitable bargain. Not to mention its confidence in its own speed, the key point was that the alliance had no predetermined time limit!
It could chase indefinitely. As long as it eventually caught up, it would win.
If it didn't catch its quarry, then it would simply continue the chase, with no time constraints.
Kua Fu felt very smart, having spotted such a huge loophole at first glance and secured the alliance before these natives and heroic spirits realized it.
Lord Qin laughed heartily and slapped his warhorse, leaving the battlefield and heading off into the distance.
Kua Fu pretended to be magnanimous, "No problem, I'll let you run a few more steps!"
As Lord Qin's figure gradually vanished in the distance, Kua Fu finally transformed into a surge of black smoke, fiercely giving chase!
Moments later, the black smoke turned into a giant with a green snake in one hand and a white snake in the other, running wildly.
Taking the form of Kua Fu, it was clear that it could run much faster.
Its body carried a vast amount of Demonic Qi, and it was evident that its running speed outpaced the warhorse ridden by Lord Qin.
The battlefield fell somewhat silent.
"What are you waiting for, hurry and kill the demonic soldiers to lend aid!"
Fan Cun shouted loudly, and the players quickly came to their senses, continuing the fight against the demonic soldiers in front of them.
With Kua Fu no longer constantly scattering Demonic Qi from the air, strengthening the combat power of the weaker demons, the players' offensive push clearly made progress.
However, at the same time, Kua Fu was rapidly closing the distance with Lord Qin.
Indeed, Kua Fu had reason to be confident in its running speed. With Demonic Qi clinging to it, fully dashing forward, even Lord Qin's heroic spirit on his warhorse couldn't shake it off.
Just as it seemed only a matter of time before Kua Fu would catch up...
Lord Qin suddenly turned back, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew out upon release, striking Kua Fu directly in the chest!
The arrow, imbued with righteous Qi, pierced Kua Fu completely; not only that, the force of the shot caused it to stagger, drastically slowing its pace.
Demonic Qi quickly healed the wound on its chest, and Kua Fu couldn't help but rage, "You're cheating!"
Lord Qin laughed loudly, "I merely bet that you couldn't catch up to me, I never said attacks were off-limits. If you don't agree, feel free to attack me!"
