Chapter 119: Capture the thief first and capture the king first
However, they could only remain undefeated; defeating the Imperial Guards was simply impossible!
Moreover, as time went on, their disadvantages became increasingly apparent.
Even with their numerical advantage, they were gradually overwhelmed by the elite Imperial Guards.
"Marshal, we can't go on like this! Our disadvantages are becoming more and more obvious!"
A demon tribe leader repelled a royal guard cavalryman and came to Moriko's side, speaking anxiously.
Their original plan was to rely on their tribal leaders and their superior strength to suppress the elite Imperial Guards.
But once the fight started, they discovered that the opposing team had just as many strong fighters as they did, and perhaps even more.
These high-level experts are completely useless.
Muricco also noticed this.
He surveyed the entire battlefield.
They saw Murong Haoxuan riding his Thunder Leopard, charging left and right.
From the very beginning of the war, he noticed that the commander of this army was this kid who was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
However, winning this battle would be difficult for their large army alone.
The only way to win is to use unconventional tactics.
The key to winning a war is to first capture the leader of the enemy.
Thinking of this, Morik made a decisive move and immediately ordered the tribal chiefs beside him who had not yet made a move to join him in capturing Murong Haoxuan.
Then use him to force these human armies to surrender.
Morik led six tribal leaders, each with a strength at least at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, to attack Murong Haoxuan.
Murong Haoxuan, who was charging into battle, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
The Thunder Leopard was immediately driven away from the area it had been in.
Immediately after he left, several attacks landed there.
It created a large crater that was tens of meters wide.
All the demons within this area were affected, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
"call!"
Murong Haoxuan let out a breath with lingering fear. If it weren't for that sense of crisis, he would probably have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.
He looked into the distance and saw seven figures surrounding him.
He could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from those demons.
Moreover, those auras had already subtly locked onto him.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king."
Murong Haoxuan quickly understood the other party's intention.
Murong Haoxuan's eyes turned cold. He knew he had to find a way to break through the encirclement. He urged the Thunder Leopard to charge towards one of the tribal leaders, while simultaneously forming hand seals and casting a mysterious spell.
A bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, striking the tribal chief.
However, the leader easily dodged the attack and countered with a black beam of light.
Murong Haoxuan dodged to the side, realizing that these tribal leaders were powerful and he couldn't fight them head-on.
He decided to use his speed and agility to find an opportunity to break through.
Meanwhile, the elite cavalry generals who were leading their troops in battle also noticed that Murong Haoxuan was in danger.
He immediately left the group to support him.
Murong Haoxuan flashed forward, forming hand seals once more and summoning several bolts of lightning that struck the other tribal leaders. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he rode his Thunder Leopard toward the weakest point in the encirclement.
However, as expected, Muricco led the other leaders to quickly block Murong Haoxuan, giving him no chance to escape.
Seeing that he could not break through, Murong Haoxuan made a tough decision and decided to use his ultimate move.
He muttered incantations, his body crackling with lightning, and his aura steadily increased.
"Thunderous Might!" Murong Haoxuan shouted, and instantly dark clouds filled the sky, with countless thick bolts of lightning striking the ground.
As the young patriarch of the Murong family, Murong Haoxuan's cultivation technique was clearly not an ordinary one.
It is a high-level Earth-rank lightning-type cultivation technique.
The tribal leaders used their skills to defend themselves, but they were still forced back by the powerful lightning.
At this moment, the generals of the Imperial Guard arrived and launched a counterattack together with Murong Haoxuan.
The elite cavalry generals coordinated perfectly, forcing Morricone and his men into a state of chaos.
It was irresistible.
Morricone's face turned ashen; he knew that his plan to capture the leader first had failed.
"retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Morricone immediately issued an order.
However, how could Murong Haoxuan let them get away so easily?
He immediately led the elite Imperial Guards to surround them.
At this point, the tide of battle had turned, and the balance of power had shifted.
Originally the attackers, the demon race has now become the ones being besieged.
The demon race, including Molike, only had seven people, but the Imperial Guards, including Murong Haoxuan, had a total of eleven.
Moreover, both of them were at least at the Nascent Soul stage.
The elite Imperial Guards had the upper hand.
"Quick victory!"
Murong Haoxuan gave the order.
Upon hearing his order, the commander of the Imperial Guards immediately intensified the offensive.
The elite Imperial Guards worked in perfect coordination and quickly compressed the demon race into a very small space.
"Ah~~"
One of the demons was caught off guard and was pierced by the spear of the Imperial Guard. The spiritual energy attached to the spear entered the demon's body through the spear, destroying his life force.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the demon immediately tried to escape with his nascent soul.
But how could the elite Imperial Guards not notice this?
The demon's nascent soul had just separated from its body.
A large hand grabbed it and held it firmly in its grasp.
With a slight exertion, the nascent soul exploded.
With one less person, the situation for the demon race is even more dire.
The remaining demon tribe leaders lost all will to fight after seeing their comrades die.
They wanted to escape the battlefield; they weren't even willing to obey Marshal Morricone's orders anymore...
After all, they were the strongest in their respective tribes, bearing the responsibility for the survival of their people.
This expedition not only yielded nothing, but also resulted in the loss of a large number of tribesmen. If they were to die here as well...
Then their tribe would be completely without support.
In the demon realm, there's no tradition that if you've shed blood for the country, the country will treat you well.
Once you show signs of weakness, the other groups around you will swarm in and divide you up.
Therefore, they must return alive.
Once they have this thought in their minds, they will not work hard.
They all conserved their strength, intending to find an opportunity to escape.
