Chapter 555: Charging the Formation

A firework signal suddenly boomed from within the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

One firework after another suddenly exploded in the sky above the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

A hundred miles outside the capital, the soldiers who were rushing to protect the monarch felt their hearts tremble when they saw these firework signals.

These fireworks were actually a coded message.

But this code was far too ridiculous—it actually ordered them to charge Chu Yaoyao’s army!

This was simply the worst possible move among worst moves.

For a moment, they even suspected these signals were the work of She Qiqi’s spies within the capital.

But upon careful thought, they knew that was impossible.

Because these fireworks were extremely special and existed only in the hands of the Demon Emperor.

So, even though this order was incredibly absurd and they felt something was very wrong, they still obeyed the Demon Emperor’s command and charged toward Chu Yaoyao’s army.

They thought that perhaps the Demon Emperor had his own plans.

At this moment, inside the military camp, Chu Yaoyao’s brows furrowed slightly.

Chu Yaoyao’s side had conducted specialized research on these firework signals of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

Therefore, Chu Yaoyao knew it was the Demon Emperor’s order for the approaching armies to launch a charge against her side.

The signal even conveyed a sense of a fight to the death.

“Pass down my command! All soldiers are to move to the rear to intercept; we must stop this army entirely!”

Chu Yaoyao did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately giving the order to the soldiers beside her.

“Yes!”

These soldiers also did not hesitate, obeying Chu Yaoyao’s command to lead their respective units to intercept the enemy.

Chu Yaoyao didn’t know the Demon Emperor’s purpose for doing this.

Whether he wanted to break out from her side, thinking her side was the weakest and easiest to bully, or if he had other ideas.

In short, in Chu Yaoyao’s view, the Demon Emperor’s command was indeed incomprehensible.

Currently, for the Demon Emperor, the best method would be to frantically stall for time against her and She Qiqi.

Then, he could have that army of a million cut off her supply lines and keep harassing them.

In that case, if both sides competed in endurance, it wasn’t certain who would ultimately win or lose.

Because there was a very large cellar within the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

That cellar contained a vast amount of grain, enough for the officials and citizens of the capital to survive for over twenty years.

That was why yesterday, She Qiqi’s side had already sent an envoy to invite Chu Yaoyao over to discuss the situation.

How they should handle the upcoming war of attrition.

They even considered whether they should first conquer the surrounding cities to create a stable situation before slowly planning their next move.

But unexpectedly, the Demon Emperor actually launched such a fierce attack.

It could be said that by doing this, the Demon Emperor was going all in.

The Demon Emperor’s actions were equivalent to putting all his chips on the table.

It was either everything or nothing.

But looking at the current situation, the probability of the Demon Emperor ending up with nothing was much higher.

Because now, in terms of both morale and the overall state of the war, the strength of the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s imperial family absolutely could not compare to her and She Qiqi.

“What on earth is he thinking?”

Chu Yaoyao looked at the gradually oppressive heavy clouds and couldn’t help but frown.

Meanwhile, in She Qiqi’s camp, the sound of fireworks exploding over the Ten Thousand Demon Country was heard.

She Qiqi and her generals had already walked out of the camp.

Looking at the signal fireworks rising in the sky, She Qiqi and the others also frowned.

In She Qiqi’s view, her Imperial Father shouldn’t have been able to have a direct confrontation with her.

But now, it had indeed exceeded her expectations; she hadn’t expected her Imperial Father would actually do this.

Furthermore, her Imperial Father actually ordered that army of a million to charge entirely in Chu Yaoyao’s direction!

In this way, even if he ultimately achieved a great victory, Chu Yaoyao’s army would be heavily worn down.

When the time came for her and Chu Yaoyao to compete for the world, she would hold a significant advantage.

But why would her Imperial Father do this?

And just as She Qiqi was feeling puzzled…

At the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, the city gates slowly opened.

The Demon Emperor, riding a golden warhorse, gradually emerged.

The Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demon Country was clad in golden armor, and behind him was the country’s strongest army: the hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry!

These hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry were the foundation upon which the Ten Thousand Demon Country was built!

This Iron Cavalry was a battle-hardened army!

They were extremely outstanding in every aspect.

Even after the Ten Thousand Demon Country came under the rule of the Heavenly Frost White Snake Clan and the world saw less conflict…

This blood-cold Iron Cavalry would still go out on expeditions every year.

And they were victorious in every battle! Not a blade of grass grew where they passed, and those who heard of them felt chilled to the bone!

It could be said that this was already an army of ten thousand battles!

Against this Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry alone, She Qiqi did not dare to relax easily!

In She Qiqi’s eyes, these hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry were even more intimidating than a million elite troops.

However, what made She Qiqi sigh with emotion was that this Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry had actually been trained by her mother in the beginning.

Since her Imperial Father had already come out toward her side with the hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry…

That meant he was declaring war on her.

In that case, if she did not accept the challenge, it would show a hint of cowardice.

Thus, at She Qiqi’s command, the entire army began to prepare rapidly to fight a decisive battle against the Demon Emperor’s hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry.

The Demon Emperor personally led the Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry in their charge.

Naturally, She Qiqi also had to lead her own hundred thousand Lushu Iron Cavalry to counter-charge.

At the Demon Emperor’s command, the hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry charged toward She Qiqi’s army!

The hundred thousand Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry were like a long blade, swiftly slicing through She Qiqi’s massive army like a cake.

Wherever the Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry passed, only fragments of flesh and blood remained.

This Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry was like the scythe in the hands of the Grim Reaper; with a casual swing, it harvested tens of thousands of lives.

But before long, another Iron Cavalry charged toward the Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry.

Under She Qiqi’s leadership, the two iron cavalries clashed against each other.

Though it was merely a brief friction, the massive military formation’s Battle Qi had already formed two giant battlefield dragons—one red and one white—in the sky, seeking to tear each other apart!
