Chapter 123: Chapter 121: Ambushed Again

"Tukuru, are you courting death?!" Xiao De retreated, and Luo Yisi, with a face full of worry, embraced the weakened Lu Hong, her mouth full of reproach.

Then Luo Yisi roared toward Qi Rong, "Little Rong, quickly bring out the Qi Family’s healing sacred medicine!"

Qi Rong gave a bitter smile, "Big sister, how could I possibly carry the sacred medicine out of the Qi Family? I have three Heavenly Water Pills here, you quickly give them to Tukuru."

Qi Rong had just been saved by Lu Hong and, without any hesitation, handed the Heavenly Water Pills to Luo Yisi.

Luo Yisi took the three rice-sized Heavenly Water Pills and stuffed them all into Lu Hong’s mouth, "You at least have some conscience."

Seeing her use all the Heavenly Water Pills at once, Qi Rong felt a pang in his heart, "Big sister, could you not use them so sparingly? I only managed to get these few pills."

Luo Yisi obviously knew the value of the Heavenly Water Pills, and although they were no match for the Qi Family’s sacred medicine, these three pills might be the best healing magic potions next to the Qi Family’s sacred medicine outside of the wilderness, one of which could cure all diseases.

Luo Yisi curled her lips, a look of disdain on her face, "Look at you being stingy. Tukuru just saved your life!"

"Enough." Luo Bolun, who couldn’t stand it any longer, interjected, "Since the Golden Lion has set an ambush for us, nobody knows if there will be another move. We should hurry to the Demon Imperial Court and meet with the Demon King."

"Correct." Tong Ling also agreed with Luo Bolun’s suggestion, "We shouldn’t stay here long." Tong Ling had just taken a Heavenly God Level attack from Xiao De, which completely deflated his arrogance. If another beastman popped up with an attack of Heavenly God Level power, then their reinforcement army could be done for. After all, they had no strategic reserves; once they reached the Demon Imperial Court, that level of attack would surely be resisted by someone there.

With the entire army teleported over, Qi Rong and Tong Ling immediately led the troops towards the Demon Imperial Court.

Tong Ni approached Luo Yisi and said, "Hand Tukuru over to me."

"???" Luo Yisi was stunned, then, eyeing the cold-eyed demon beauty warily, asked, "On what grounds?"

"My father instructed me before we left to protect him at all costs," Tong Ni said confidently—that was the task entrusted to her by Tong Shuai.

"Protect Tukuru?" Luo Yisi sneered, "Just now, when he stepped forward to protect everyone and got severely injured, where were you to help? Is this how you protect him?"

"You!" Tong Ni was choked with anger. Was that kind of skill something they could withstand? If she had gone to help, she might have been killed by the aftershock of the skill exchange without being able to do anything useful.

That was how it was, but how could she say this out loud?

"Hmph!" Realizing she was at a disadvantage and no longer insisting on caring for Lu Hong, Tong Ni followed close behind Luo Yisi, protecting Lu Hong in an indirect manner.

Luo Yisi, cradling Lu Hong, galloped on her horse, occasionally glancing at Tong Ni, and then softly asked Lu Hong, "Who is this woman? She can’t possibly be another little lover you’ve seduced, right?"

"Just let me be, I need to rest now!" Lu Hong said irritably, glancing at Luo Yisi, "What was that Heavenly Water Pill you just fed me? I feel like my injuries are healing rapidly."

"That was the Heavenly Water Pill, the Qi Family from the wilderness specializes in producing healing magic potions, selling them across various planes and essential for the elite as a life-saving item. And these Heavenly Water Pills are top-tier; the Qi Family doesn’t produce more than ten pills a year. I fed you three at once, how could you not recover quickly?"

Having heard Luo Yisi’s explanation, Lu Hong felt somewhat reproachful, "Such an effective item, one pill would have been enough, the rest could have been kept for saving lives in the future, what a waste?"

"Forget about it, we’re on the outskirts of the battlefield now, no one knows what might happen next, it’s best to recover as quickly as possible."

Luo Yisi was right, so Lu Hong didn’t say more and closed his eyes, following the flow of the Heavenly Water Pill and focusing on recovering as quickly as possible.

Before Tong Ling and the others got very far, the Golden Lion’s second ambush sprang into action.

"Commander, it looks like these reinforcements haven’t lost many men, shall we still attack?"

Faced with his subordinate’s query, the Wolf Cavalry Commander Capello of the Golden Lion’s troops also furrowed his brows. The plan was for Xiao De to block the main force of the demon reinforcements, then for them to ambush and bleed the defeated army.

But the actual situation was completely different from what was planned. Did Xiao De mess up the timing of the ambush?

"Charge!" Capello gritted his teeth; the task given by the Zhen Luo King had to be executed. Otherwise, returning in defeat without having engaged, regardless of whether the Golden Lion would punish him, he was sure to be looked down upon by his peers.

Following Capello’s order, the grassland scenery suddenly distorted.

"Ambush!" It was a magic illusion disguise set up by the enemy. Tong Ling roared angrily and hastily got ready for battle.

As the magic illusion disguise dissipated, Tong Ling’s reinforcements were already deep within the enemy’s encirclement.

"Damn!" Even as cautious as he was, Tong Ling had still failed to detect the enemy’s disguise in time. It had to be said, the warfare methods of the Continent of God’s Grace were definitely a level higher than those of the wilderness.

Take this magic illusion disguise as an example; in the wilderness, it was almost impossible to apply to actual use. First of all, such magic devices were too expensive. Second, the wilderness could produce or acquire only lower-grade devices, which anyone with a bit of discernment could spot. Therefore, such tactics were completely ineffective in the wilderness.

But the Beastman Empire was different. They were wealthy and could afford magic illusions that were seamless. Tong Ling had considered that the enemy might use this tactic, but what use was it if he couldn’t see through it?

"Charge!" Wolf Cavalry Commander Capello led the charge, riding his level eight giant wolf, and bore down on the allied forces like a raging storm.

"Defense formation, withstand the impact!" The Lu army was the first to react. Tens of thousands of demons, without any panic, took down their giant black shields issued to them, and in the blink of an eye, they constructed a circle of defensive works. With the boost of Demonic Qi from the Lu army, the black shields became like a dark abyss, swallowing any enemy daring enough to charge at them.

The Luo Shen army was also very quick to react. Since the Lu army had already prepared to withstand the attack, the Luo Shen army shifted to offense. With the chanting of the Mages and archers in the army coming to an end, a rain of arrows mercilessly descended upon the Beastmen Wolf Riders.

Meanwhile, the Mages summoned continuous ice showers, using ice magic to freeze and slow the momentum of the Wolf Riders’ charges.

"Spirit Communion Ritual!" Capello would certainly not just withstand the enemies’ attacks. He shouted backwards for assistance.

Responding to Capello’s signal, those performing the Spirit Communion Ritual began their chants, praying for the protection of the Beast God.

Once the Spirit Communion Ritual was successfully communicated, a radiant white light emanated from all the charging Wolf Riders, resembling a protective film, blocking all the arrows from the Luo Shen army.

"The Qi Family army, charge as well!" Qi Rong, seeing that the Luo Shen army’s attack was ineffective, quickly urged his own troops to act.

"Young Master, please be patient. The strength of the Qi Family army doesn’t lie in offensive capabilities." The Qi Family army’s leader hurriedly stopped Qi Rong. The Qi army was a medical troop, composed mainly of healers. Sending them into combat would be absolutely unreliable!

"Oh, right, I had forgotten." Upon reflection, Qi Rong realized this was true and then continued, "Later, when we clash with the Wolf Cavalry, you all must go all out with healing. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt!"

"At your command!"

Lu Hong heard the commotion around him but did not open his eyes, "An ambush by the enemy?"

"Yes, but this time it doesn’t seem as fierce as before, just a regular ambush." Luo Yi was closely guarded by the Luo family army, and as she spoke, the Wolf Riders had already arrived.

Setting aside the beastly strength of the Wolf Riders’ orcs for now, just the fact that the wolves they were riding were all uniform level seven Demon Beasts, large in size and full of brute strength, was enough.

The short-distance charge maximized the wolves’ advantage, hitting the Lu army’s shields with the force of raging waves, making the entire defense line tremble.

One charge might have been a stand-off. But reasonably, the Lu army had the upper hand because the Wolf Riders, being the attackers and failing to completely break through the defense, were at a disadvantage.

"Motherfucker! Get out of my way!" Capello swung his butcher’s knife, leveraging the immense Beastman strength to fling the soldiers of the Lu army in front of him, opening a gap for the subsequent Wolf Riders.

"I’ll take you on!" Tong Ling saw his chance against the opposing general, transformed his hand into a fist, and slammed forward with a mighty punch.

"Where did this brat come from, go to hell!" Capello met him with his blade, and Demonic Qi collided with the butcher’s knife. Capello was forced back several steps, and so was Tong Ling.

With the generals locked in combat, their soldiers naturally began to fight as well, and in no time, the Wolf Riders and the allied forces were embroiled in a chaotic battle.

"Get out of my way!" Capello was anxiously trying to carry out his mission to decimate the living forces of the alliance. As the strongest among the Wolf Riders, failing to kill as many of the enemy as possible meant their mission would be heavily compromised, so Capello was desperate to kill Tong Ling.

As Capello’s attacks grew faster, Tong Ling began to struggle, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. One should never underestimate a Beastman warrior.

Seeing Tong Ling being driven back step by step, Qi Rong brandished his spear and carved a bloody path forward, rushing to his aid, "Brother Tong, I’m here to support you!"

With Qi Rong joining the fray, Capello was under increased pressure. Moreover, the Wolf Riders’ ambush had only mobilized fifty thousand troops, and while they could make a killing while the allied forces were still reeling, once the demons and the Red Kingdom’s allied forces had fully deployed, Capello would have no chance.

So, after just five or six minutes of entanglement, seeing no advantage to be had, Capello promptly ordered the Wolf Riders to retreat, leading the remnants of his troops to flee.

"Luo Shen army, chase them!" From the start of the battle, Luo Bolun had been venting his private grievances along the way, and since he wasn’t satisfied yet, how could he let the enemy escape just like that?

At Luo Bolun’s command, tens of thousands of Luo Shen soldiers closely followed Luo Bolun’s horseback pursuit.

"Come back!" Although Luo Yi wasn’t very fond of this younger brother, they were still siblings after all.

Capello personally covered the retreat of his troops. Seeing Luo Bolun’s pursuit, he was infuriated. Was he not angry enough with the ambush already, that now they wouldn’t even let them retreat in peace? Just because of their level five or six mounts, did they really think they could catch up with the most mobile force of the Beastman Empire, the Wolf Riders? What a delusion!

"Retreat!" Capello, holding his butcher’s knife, let out a piercing howl like a mad wolf. Silver-grey fur burst from his skin, transforming him into a werewolf. With a mighty swipe of his cleaver, an explosive and violent breath burst forth in front of Luo Bolun.

"Quick, dodge!" Luo Bolun abandoned his horse and leaped away, the sharp edge grazing his scalp.

Immediately starting from Capello, the frontal three-kilometer radius exploded outward in a fan shape. The grassland terrain was shattered inch by inch, and the Luo Shen soldiers caught within the edge turned into a shower of flesh and blood, raining down from the sky.

"Hmph!" Capello reverted from his werewolf form, the aura within him waning. He continued to flee on his giant wolf.

Although Luo Bolun wanted to continue the pursuit, he was startled by the attack and did not dare advance further.

"Bolun, you were careless!" At this moment, Qi Rong arrived with reinforcements by Luo Bolun’s side, "We currently don’t have many top-tier forces deployed, we must not act recklessly."

"I...," Luo Bolun, looking at the thousands of Luo Shen soldiers killed by Capello’s strike, also felt a tightness in his heart. He had not seen just how formidable the Wolf Riders’ leader was just moments before; who would have thought this guy would unleash such power during their retreat? It was downright maddening!
