Chapter 1119: Chapter 1118: Reclaiming Lost Territory

Li Xuanqing did not die on the spot.

He was held high in the air by Qin Hao’s War God spear, his limbs flailing, desperate to break free, unwilling to die, driven by a strong will to survive.

"Your King is dead, surrender and you will not be killed."

Qin Hao’s voice was loud and spread across the entire battlefield.

The crowd turned toward the sound, and upon seeing Li Xuanqing hoisted in the air by Qin Hao’s long spear, many faces turned pale.

"Boom"

Li Xuanqing’s body exploded into a mist of blood, powerfully executed before the million-strong army of the Xuanqing Dynasty, the execution of their king.

This shattered the morale of the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army, leaving them unwilling to stand again.

With the four major experts of the Demon God Sect dead, and their king Li Xuanqing also forcefully executed, what could they use to resist?

"Charge, anyone who doesn’t will die." The Demon God Sect members within the army urged the soldiers around them, daring to retreat meant immediate execution.

"Kill, kill, kill"

The soldiers of the God Demon Army, seeing that the enemy did not surrender, wielded their swords and slaughtered the soldiers of the Xuanqing Dynasty.

Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and Wu Yutong, among others, targeted their generals specifically for killing.

In less than an hour, the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army began to collapse; initially, only hundreds, maybe thousands, soon turned into tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.

The soldiers of the God Demon Army pursued them for a long five or six hours.

Of the million-strong army of the Xuanqing Dynasty, only a few tens of thousands escaped, with over two hundred thousand killed or wounded, and most were captured.

In contrast, the Skyfire Dynasty suffered only eighteen thousand casualties, a testament to the power of the High-level Joint Attack Formation.

The main reason was Qin Hao slaying their four major experts and their king, leaving the Xuanqing Dynasty’s soldiers with no will to fight.

Qin Hao left three hundred thousand troops in the royal city to guard the city and manage the prisoners; he led the rest to continue their advance, beginning to recover the lost territories of the dynasty.

The Skyfire Dynasty primarily lost the eastern cities, numbering over sixty, and some southern cities were also captured, but the Xuanqing Dynasty did not attack all cities.

Their initial target was the royal city of the Skyfire Dynasty, as they believed that once it was destroyed, the other cities would be easily seized.

However, they did not anticipate Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi and others returning to fight back, nor did they expect Qin Hao to be so terrifying and monstrous.

Qin Hao swiftly arrived at the first city, where the troops of the Xuanqing Dynasty had already fled, having heard of the front-line battles, and dared not linger here.

However, before leaving, they had plundered and looted the city extensively.

Qin Hao led his army into the city, where flames raged, the streets littered with bodies slain mercilessly, including the elderly and children.

Some bodies had been decapitated, some limbs severed, others disemboweled.

Qin Hao even saw women with their bodies exposed.

Crying filled the city, from both the elderly and children...

Qin Hao took a deep breath, feeling uneasy: "Order the soldiers to extinguish the flames in the city, comfort the citizens, and have everyone move to the next town as quickly as possible."

"Yes, State Preceptor!"

A general led the soldiers into the city, quickly extinguishing fires, treating the wounded, and calming the people.

Qin Hao took the rest of the army and hurried to the next town; the Transmission Array in the city had already been destroyed, or else the Xuanqing Dynasty’s army would have already teleported in.

On the way to the next town, Qin Hao and his forces encountered fleeing soldiers of the Xuanqing Dynasty.

Qin Hao was merciless toward these deserters, executing them on the spot.

All along the way, Qin Hao led the army at full speed, encountering more and more Xuanqing Dynasty deserters as they moved east.

Upon reaching the second city, it too had been ravaged by fire and looting; Qin Hao’s intelligence indicated that those responsible had only just left about half an hour earlier.

Qin Hao left some troops and resumed pursuit.

About an hour later, Qin Hao and his forces caught up with a group of Xuanqing Dynasty soldiers, numbering over ten thousand.

"Kill them all, leave none alive."

Qin Hao’s voice was icy, brimming with murderous intent.

The soldiers of the God Demon Army charged forward, unleashing a massacre upon them; the battle concluded within ten minutes.

Qin Hao continued to lead his forces toward the next city while Ye Lingyi dispatched people to take over the original cities and comfort the citizens.

Due to the sheer number of cities, it took Qin Hao five days to reclaim them all.

He arrived at the eastern border of the Skyfire Dynasty, where the border town was severely devastated.

Qin Hao organized soldiers for reconstruction, leveraging the manpower, especially since these were cultivators, enabling swift rebuilding of the military town.

Reconstruction materials could be found in the nearby mountains, such as sturdy bluestone and various ancient wood materials.

Qin Hao was now seated in the general’s residence, communicating with Ye Lingyi via jade: "I have reached Eastern City; it’s severely damaged and under repair. Send some Array Masters over to set up the Space Transmission Array."

The dynasty now has many Array Masters, and most of the newly recruited talent specialize in array formation and artifact refining, with many also learning alchemy.

On the second day, the Array Masters arrived at Eastern City, led by a mid-level Array Master; the rest had just passed their assessments and didn’t even qualify as junior Array Masters, following the mid-level master’s instructions to arrange the array.

These mid-level Array Masters had already studied Advanced Array Formation Skill, encompassing thousands upon thousands of formations, covering everything.

There were also spatial formations included, stronger than those before and requiring considerable materials and effort to arrange.

The setup of the new spatial formation took over three days to be completed.

The Transmission Array now allows free teleportation to the royal city and several nearby military towns, and it’s much larger than before, able to transport several times more people at once.

The royal city can now also open and close the Space Transmission Array at any time, and closing the array of a specific town renders their array unable to teleport to the royal city, making it far more convenient than before.

After finishing the Transmission Array, the mid-level Array Master arrived at the general’s residence: "State Preceptor, the new Transmission Array is set up."

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Good, arrange for this type of new Transmission Array in the nearby military towns, I will dispatch elite soldiers to escort you."

The mid-level Array Master asked: "State Preceptor, aren’t we setting up a defensive formation here?"

Qin Hao: "Not for now, the Xuanqing Dynasty has no strength to attack us again. Once we recuperate for a while, it will be time for us to strike proactively, and your current foundation in array formations is too weak to arrange mid-level or advanced defensive formations."

The mid-level Array Master nodded slightly: "State Preceptor’s words are indeed true; we shall proceed to the nearby military towns to arrange the Transmission Arrays."
