"So fast?!" "Do not……" It’s not that the human race is fast, but it took them too long to attack Jiang Yu’s main city! Aoki's face looked extremely ugly. It can only be said that the plan he formulated was originally very comprehensive, but in the actual operation process, many mistakes occurred in the final execution link. The main reason was that their estimation of Jiang Yu's city defense force was seriously wrong. Faced with this situation, Aoki weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to retreat reluctantly. Dougan asked in confusion: "Cousin, why don't we follow the strategy we agreed on before and rely on Jiang Yu's seven cities that we have occupied to defend them?" Qingmu replied solemnly, "You have also seen those powerful mechanical beasts with your own eyes. Jiang Yu's subordinates obviously have talents who are very proficient in making such mechanical beasts. We cannot be sure whether there are similar mechanisms and traps hidden in Jiang Yu's other cities." "Defending the city... there might be unexpected events." After hearing this, Dougan was silent for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he agreed with Aoki's opinion.

Indeed, in the process of attacking Jiang Yu’s main city, in addition to those troublesome mechanical beasts, they also encountered many carefully designed mechanisms and traps. The styles of these mechanisms and traps are very consistent, and they are likely to have been made by the same person. It seems that retreat is indeed a safer option. Next, Qingmu and Dougan began to command the more than 1200 million Cuilin troops to retreat in an orderly manner. Originally, their military strength reached more than 1300 million, but after failing to capture Jiang Yu's main city for a long time, they also suffered considerable casualties, and finally only more than 1200 million were left. Considering that the human army was approaching from the southeast, they decided to retreat westward to avoid being caught up by the human army when returning directly south to their territory. After retreating a distance to the west, Aoki felt a little more relaxed. He thought to himself, "It seems that we just ended up in a tie at best. We still have a chance to continue competing with Jiang Yu..." Aoki was still silently thinking about the next strategy in his mind. After all, the human race has returned from Yantie's territory, so Qingmu's retreat just now cannot be considered a failure, it can only be considered a draw at most. However, Dougan suddenly frowned and asked Aoki again: "Cousin, are you sure the humans won't chase us?" "What if they have any backup plan..." Upon hearing this, Qingmu sneered, with unquestionable confidence in his tone: "Don't worry, since I proposed this retreat plan, it must have been carefully considered." "The human race has an advantage in terms of military strength. They outnumber us. Under such circumstances, their army carries more weight and moves more cumbersomely, so their speed naturally cannot match ours." After hearing this, Dougan was still a little worried, and he asked further: "But what if the human race sends the army of monsters from the Mountain of Beasts to chase us first?" "Those monsters may not be as numerous as us, but they are extremely fast." Aoki's expression suddenly became serious. He turned his head and looked at the fighting rod, his eyes revealing determination: "I have naturally considered this situation. Although the number of monsters in Wanshou Mountain is less than 10 million, they have the advantage in speed. But if they really dare to catch up with us, we are fully capable of dealing with them with our current manpower." "If Jiang Yu really wants to do this, it will provide us with a great opportunity to defeat them one by one!"

"After all, although the monsters are ferocious, they lack organization and discipline, and it is difficult to form a unified order..." At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came, as if a large number of objects were approaching rapidly. The ground seemed to be shaking, like thousands of horses galloping, with great momentum! "What's going on?" Qingmu's face suddenly became ugly, and he keenly noticed that something was wrong. At this time, they happened to be resting on a small hill, so they could clearly see the scenery in the distance. In the distance, they saw a dark mass of densely packed monsters chasing them at high speed! That was the army of monsters from Wanshou Mountain! "This is...how could this happen?" "Isn't Jiang Yu afraid that we will directly wipe out these monsters?" Qingmu looked horrified, obviously not expecting this situation to happen. Dougun was even more panicked. He widened his eyes and stammered: "Looking at the number, there are at least more than seven million!" "Does Jiang Yu think we can't eat these monsters in one bite?" Aoki thought back to the siege just now, and his heart sank: "Maybe it is true." "After all, we, the Cuilin people, have been comfortably guarding our own territory for a long time. We rarely have the opportunity to fight monsters on a large scale and lack the experience to deal with such a situation." "This time, I really miscalculated..." Aoki realized that he had made a serious mistake and understood that he had underestimated the determination and courage of Jiang Yu and others. However, now they can no longer leave. If they continued to run away, they would only be attacked from behind by these monsters, putting them in a desperate situation where they would be attacked from both sides. They have been entangled by these monsters, and the only way to survive is to quickly defeat these monsters here. This is their only chance of survival! …… at the same time. Jiang Yuzheng, Shui Qinglan and others rode their horses at full speed, galloping closely behind the monster army in Wanshou Mountain. Looking at the mighty and courageous army of monsters ahead, Shui Qinglan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "I never thought that the monsters in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts would be willing to do this for us. Aren't they afraid of being annihilated?" Jiang Yu looked forward firmly, with a hint of emotion and admiration in his tone: "No, they are not doing this for us, they are doing this for themselves, for a better future." This is also one of the reasons about evolution that Jiabu mentioned to Jiang Yu before. It is precisely because these monsters are eager to evolve and become stronger that they have such a firm determination to pursue Aoki's troops. Because this battle is their only chance to gain a base outside the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts and change their own destiny! Therefore, they must try their best and win this battle at all costs. Jiang Yu continued:

"In contrast, the Cuilin people have been guarding their territory comfortably for a long time and lack real combat experience and tempering." "This is also Aoki's biggest disadvantage... As long as we grasp this point, we may win this battle." Under such circumstances, the monster army of Wanshou Mountain has already started a battle with the 1200 million Cuilin tribe troops. The battle was about to break out, and the scale of the entire battlefield climbed to 20 million in a very short period of time! (End of this chapter)
