Chapter 311 Bringing the Whole Family
Chapter 311 Bringing the Whole Family
Outside the capital city of the Mad Crocodile.
When the Qin army arrived, the city had already become an empty city.
Only the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled remain here.
On the city wall, thousands of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who were left behind stood there, weapons in hand, looking down at the army below with fear on their faces.
They were all demons with low cultivation levels and short lifespans.
Crocodile Lan despised them as a burden.
They were then given weapons and ordered to remain in the capital.
These people knew they had been abandoned, but they were helpless, since they really couldn't leave.
They could only gather together in an attempt to block the Qin's attack.
In the air, Huo Qubing and his men stood there, looking down at the city below, all of them somewhat puzzled.
They encountered no resistance along their journey.
Even the capital of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty only has so many old, weak, sick and disabled people.
This made them feel that things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed abnormal.
However, their divine senses swept across the entire capital and found nothing unusual; indeed, only the demons on the city walls remained within the capital.
Huo Qubing has already dispatched the Imperial Guards to investigate, and news should arrive soon.
Sure enough, a member of the Imperial Guard returned shortly afterward.
"How's it going?"
Huo Qubing asked impatiently.
The Imperial Guard's expression was somewhat strange as he recounted the events that had transpired.
Huo Qubing and the others looked rather strange upon hearing this.
I never expected the Mad Crocodile Dynasty to be so bizarre; even at this point, they're still fighting amongst themselves.
However, this is a good thing for them, as it saves them a lot of trouble.
"Marshal, the new emperor of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty, along with the high-ranking officials of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty, is currently on his way out of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty."
Because of their large number and varying levels of cultivation.
Therefore, they are not moving very fast; they have only traveled a few hundred miles so far, and it won't be long before they catch up..."
The Imperial Guard continued.
Huo Qubing nodded, looked at Chang Yuchun, and said, "General Chang, you will lead the troops to pursue them. Make sure they don't escape..."
"Here!"
Chang Yuchun stepped forward and spoke with an air of authority that was not angry.
He then led his Guan Ning cavalry in pursuit of the direction in which E Lan and his men had fled.
After they left, Huo Qubing's gaze fell on the Mad Crocodile Capital.
"Enter the city!"
Now that we've confirmed there's no ambush, there's no need to wait outside any longer.
As for the old, weak, sick, and disabled on the city wall, there is no need to pay them any attention; they pose no threat to the army.
They can be easily dealt with by sending out just ten soldiers.
The army entered the city in an orderly manner. Since E Lan is now the emperor of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty, and he took the imperial seal with him when he left, the Mad Crocodile Dynasty has not been destroyed even though they have now occupied the capital of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty.
Only by killing Crocodile Lan or destroying the imperial seal of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty can it be completely destroyed.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot let Elan escape.
At this moment, hundreds of kilometers away from the capital of the Crocodile Empire, a massive army was advancing.
"Hurry, everyone hurry, the Qin army is about to catch up..."
In the sky, powerful beings kept flying by, urging the demon race below, who could not fly, to move forward quickly.
On a flying ship, Crocodile stood on the deck, looking down at the massive procession below, his face grim.
"Why must we bring the entire demon race of the capital along? This is greatly slowing down our progress..."
Crocodile Lan suppressed his anger and questioned him.
They have been walking for almost two days, but have only covered a few hundred kilometers. If this continues, they will definitely be caught up by the Qin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, those are all subjects of our dynasty! We cannot abandon them..."
"Yes! Your Majesty, they are our capital for a comeback. If we abandon them, we will truly have no chance to turn things around..."
"..."
The ministers behind him, upon hearing his words, began to speak.
It conveys the same meaning: we cannot abandon those demons.
Crocodile's face turned ashen; he knew perfectly well what they meant.
In fact, those who could live in the capital had nothing to do with these officials.
They say it's for the future of the dynasty, but it's really for the future of their race!
However, he couldn't say that he still needed to rely on these officials and couldn't afford to turn against them.
We can only let them do whatever they want.
His face was full of worry. At this rate, it would probably take them ten days to half a month to get out of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty.
"Report!"
Just then, a figure flew swiftly from afar.
A Nascent Soul stage demon landed on the deck.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Qin people are coming after us..."
After landing on the deck, the demon said to Crocodile Lan in a panic.
"what?"
Crocodile Lan's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise.
The other officials also panicked, losing their previous composure.
They originally thought that even if the Qin Dynasty caught up, it would take ten or even dozens of days.
By then, they had probably already left the Crocodile Empire.
Even if the Qin Dynasty chases after them, they still can't do anything to them.
"How could this be? How can the Qin Dynasty be so fast? Did they chase after us directly in flying boats...?"
"What are we going to do? With our current strength, we simply cannot organize an effective resistance..."
"Quickly, full speed ahead, the airship must shake off the Qin pursuers..."
E Lan immediately gave the order, and the panicked officials came to their senses and stopped objecting.
Although the demons below had some connection with them, no matter how important they were, their own lives were more important.
As soon as E Lan finished speaking, dozens of airships in the sky immediately accelerated.
It broke away from the main force and flew off into the distance.
The above are all the army and powerful figures of the Mad Crocodile Dynasty; none of them are ordinary demons.
"Don't abandon us!"
"Damn it, I knew these higher-ups wouldn't care whether we lived or died; sure enough, they abandoned us halfway through..."
"Run! It'll be too late if you don't run now..."
The demons below, seeing the flying boat in the sky abandon them and fly away, immediately realized they had been abandoned and began to curse loudly.
Some of the more level-headed demons quickened their pace and ran in all directions.
When Chang Yuchun led his army here, the place was already in complete chaos.
He immediately said to his deputy, "You take your men and deal with the demons here. I will lead my men to continue the pursuit..."
"Here!"
Upon receiving the order, the deputy general immediately led his men to attack the demon race below.
Chang Yuchun continued to lead his army in pursuit.
At their speed, they will catch up in no time.
The flying boats of E Lan and the others were already moving at their fastest speed, but the lowest cultivation level of the Qin army was at the Nascent Soul stage.
The speed of the flying boat is far inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
