The waves of the great river roared southward, like a bloody sun that illuminated the surging waters of the river, causing the golden snakes to dance wildly, and the river breeze brought with it a strong smell of blood.

On the swamp wasteland on the east side of the Dragon River, the human and demon armies were engaged in a fierce battle. Magic treasures flew everywhere, and gorgeous magic lights landed on each other's formations, continuously harvesting their lives. The screams of death, the cries of pain and struggle, the cries of fury … resounded throughout a hundred kilometers.

War was incomparably cruel. The glory of the victor was built with life and baptized with blood!

Living creatures fell every second, limbs broken, arms broken, and corpses scattered all over the place!

Tao Fei Fei's expression was cold as she waved the flag in her hand.

"Kill!" The twenty thousand troops of the Anti-Demon Chaos Alliance charged forward and charged towards the demon army.

Tao Fei Fei handed the flag to her left hand and waved it twice. The Left Wing Army of the Anti-Monster Alliance slowly retreated and then rushed back.

Fresh blood soaked the weeds by the river, and the fertile black soil turned red. When one looked at the swamp, one's heart palpitated. Incomplete corpses lay silently on the grass. There was no doubt that the two sides of the Dragon River in the coming year would definitely be fertile with grass and fish, green trees, but it was destined that many people would no longer be able to see them. But arisen from their crumbling bones on the banks of the river at the border, dreams of them enter, like men alive, into rooms where their loves lie sleeping?

Dudu

A low horn sounded, and the demon army retreated back to the west bank of the Dragon River like a tidal wave. It was orderly and quickly retreated completely, leaving only corpses scattered all over the mountains and fields.

The demon army retreated, but the faces of the Anti-Demon Alliance Army and the Eight Desolate Army were not excited. After the bloody battles of the past few days, everyone was already exhausted. The shadow of death was like the layer upon layer of sunset clouds on the edge of the city, overlapping in the hearts of everyone.

Three days ago, the demon army began to cross the river and wage a decisive battle. Every day, the sun rose and the night fell. The Anti-Demon Alliance Army and the Eight Desolate Army rose up to fight. At the beginning, their morale was still high, but after days of fighting, their numbers were greatly reduced. Every day, they watched their comrades die in battle. Everyone's hearts grew heavier and heavier, their morale low. No one knew if they would see the morning sun tomorrow.

The demon army was blocked back today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

Both armies withdrew to their camps. Only the rest of the troops who had taken care of the wounded on the battlefield had a tacit understanding that they would not attack each other. Even if they brushed past each other, they would only stare at each other with hatred.

The demon army only treated their injured companions. They wouldn't accept corpses. They treated death as returning to nature and dying on the battlefield as an honor. The corpse of a warrior should expose him to the rain and sunshine and become a fertile nourishment for the vegetation.

The humans were different. Returning to their homeland with honor was a human complex. Death on the battlefield was an honor, but they were also given a vest to wrap their corpses. It was humiliating and unjust to let their comrades robe the wilderness. Therefore, they had to collect their corpses and bury them.

"Bah, these damn demons don't even want the corpses of their robes anymore. What a f*cking lunatic!" Two Anti-Demon Alliance Army soldiers lifted a corpse of the Eight Desolate Army. Beside them was a rotting and stinking Demon Army, apparently killed in battle two days ago.

"Brutal and unreasonable races, how can we humans let them rule? We must drive these bastards back to the Demon Realm!"

"Save your strength. Sooner or later, we will become one of the ones lying here. I hope that someone will collect our corpses at that time. It's none of our business to drive the demon race back to the Demon Realm!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became dejected and silently lifted their fellow robes' corpses.

"Deputy General Tao!"

"Deputy General Tao!"

It was unknown when Tao Fei Fei, who was wearing armor, actually stood behind him. The two Anti-Monster Alliance Army soldiers hurriedly put down their corpses and saluted them solemnly. They were worried. What they said just now could shake the morale of the army. Even if Tao Fei Fei Fei killed them on the spot, it wouldn't be too much.

Tao Fei Fei was originally born as delicate as a peach blossom in March, but after graduating from the War General Academy, she had gained a bit of heroism. After wearing her armor, she was even more valiant and awe-inspiring.

"Go!" Tao Fei Fei lightly waved her hand.

The two Anti-Monster Alliance Army soldiers immediately felt as if they were granted an amnesty. They lifted the corpses of their comrades and retreated. They were extremely fortunate in their hearts. Tao Fei Fei was very strict in managing the army. They did not expect to be lenient to the two of them today.

When Ding Qing left that day, she handed over the command of the Anti-Monster Alliance Army to Tao Fei Fei. As a girl who had just come out of the Nine Battles Academy, there were naturally many people who refused to accept her. In the end, Tao Fei Fei killed more than a dozen people with iron-blooded methods. Immediately, everyone was overwhelmed.

Tao Fei flew around and returned to the camp, but her brows knitted tightly. The morale of the Alliance Army was low, and the situation was not optimistic. It was not long before the Long River defense line would collapse. Ding Qing, Chu Jun, and the others hadn't returned for half a year after they left for the west. They hadn't even sent back the slightest bit of information. It was truly anxious.

"Greetings, Lieutenant General Tao!"

"Greetings, Lieutenant General Tao!"

Tao Fei flew back to the camp gate, and the two guards hurriedly stood and bowed solemnly.

Right now, Tao Fei Fei's prestige in the alliance army was second only to Ding Qing, because in the past six months, the Anti-Monster Alliance Army had really fought many tough battles under Tao Fei Fei's leadership. At the beginning, everyone was not convinced by her. After all, she was a young woman. Although Tao Fei Fei had used iron and blood methods to suppress more than ten people, everyone was still unconvinced. However, when Tao Fei Fei showed her true ability to lead the troops in battle, the people below gradually recognized her.

Tao Fei Fei nodded and asked, "Did Deputy Du bring them back?"

"Waiting in the tent!"

Tao Fei Fei walked into the marshal tent and saw that Du Ruhai and the other two deputy generals were already in the tent. Elder Tan, Lu Bu Ping, and Wei Zheng were also there.

Tao Fei Fei couldn't help but frown. She didn't like Elder Tan's group because these people didn't do anything except fight for power. If it weren't for the fact that they were the elders of the Anti-Monster Alliance, Tao Fei Fei wouldn't even bother to pay attention to them.

At the beginning, Tan Yeshan had even recruited other elders to fly Concubine Tao into the air. Later on, the demon army launched a large-scale attack. These people could play conspiracy, but they could not lead troops to fight. They could only refer to the return of military command to Concubine Tao.

"Lieutenant General Tao is worthy of being an elite from the Nine Battles Academy. Today, he defeated the fierce attacks of the demon army!" Lu Buping smiled and complimented.

Tao Fei Fei glanced at him and asked Du Ruhai, "Did you get the casualty statistics?"

Lu Buping took a cold nail and his old face froze. He was furious in his heart, "Bitch, fart, wait for Ding Qing to die. Let's see how this old man will torture you!"

"More than 6,570 people died and over 10,000 were injured!" Du Ruhai said in a heavy voice.

The attacks of the demon army were extremely fierce these past few days. The casualties of the Demon Resistance Alliance Army were extremely heavy. In just three days, nearly 20,000 people had been killed and injured. The number of the Demon Resistance Alliance Army was less than 80,000. In the three great battles, they had lost nearly a quarter of their manpower. The situation was extremely grim, and it seemed that the demon army's offensive would be further strengthened.

"How are things with the Chilly Ice Army and the Eight Desolates Army?" Tao Fei Fei's expression did not change as she asked. As a battle general, she had already learned how to remain calm.

"The losses of the Eight Desolate Army are also very heavy, but the attacks on the Chilly Ice Army are very weak!" Si Nan interrupted.

Si Nan was one of the other two lieutenants and also a Black Iron General who graduated from the Nine Battles Academy.

Du Ruhai said angrily, "The demon army is obviously pretending to attack the Chilly Ice Army and then concentrate their forces to attack our alliance army and the Eight Desolates Army. I don't believe that the Ice Accumulation King can't even tell that he's still hiding in Dragon River City. Don't tell me he doesn't know that if we are defeated, then his 200,000 Chilly Ice Army will be doomed!"

Tao Fei Fei snorted disdainfully, "Xi Men Yu is a frightened bird now. He can't afford to lose, so he is concerned about protecting his old capital. If he had taken advantage of Alliance Leader Ding's advice and took the initiative to attack while the demon army is still not stable, how could this situation be like today?"

Si Nan and the others nodded in agreement!

Tan Yeshan and the others couldn't help but glance at each other. Although they didn't understand the military, they could still tell what the situation was like. It seemed like the situation wasn't good!

"Since the Ice Accumulation King is not going to win, why should we fight with the demon army here? Why don't we just go back to the Eight Desolate Continents!" Wei Zhengdao said.

Du Ru'nan and the others couldn't help but cast a disdainful glance at Wei Zheng. Indeed, it was a layman who spoke nonsense. How could you retreat in this confrontation? The movements of tens of thousands of troops were not as flexible as those of small groups. Once they retreated, the demon army would definitely bite their tails and catch up. If they retreated, they would be defeated. At that time, they would really be defeated.

When Wei Zheng saw everyone's gazes, he couldn't help but ask coldly, "Is what this elder said wrong?"

"Elder Wei, marching to war is not a fight or a vengeance. If you can't win, you can run away!" Du Ruhai said indifferently.

Du Ruhai was Du Zhenwei's son. He came from Chongming Island, so he didn't have to give Wei Zheng any face, so he naturally didn't have any scruples about speaking!

Wei Zheng was snatched away by Du Ruhai mercilessly. His expression became extremely ugly, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't help but snort coldly, but a murderous intent surfaced in his heart. He wondered if he could find an opportunity to secretly kill Du Ruhai. Anyway, anything could happen on the battlefield. Du Zhenwei couldn't find him even if he wanted to ask.

The atmosphere in the tent became tense and awkward. Elder Tan suddenly chuckled and said, "Deputy General Du is right. War is not a joke. How can we retreat just like that? Elder Wei, we old men who don't know how to lead the army should not interfere too much!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly said, "Elder Tan is right. This old man can't help but make some suggestions for a moment. I can't believe it. It's only a few elders from the Nine Battles Academy who decide what to do!"

Wei Zheng's words were bone-chesting, and Du Ruhai didn't bother to pay attention to them. He only said to Tao Fei Fei, "Where did General Ding go? When will he be back?"

Lu Buping and Wei Zheng couldn't help but glance at each other. A cold smile flashed across each other's eyes as they thought to themselves, "I'm afraid they won't be able to return!"

Ding Qing and Chu Jun's big auction in Ling Xue City had already been sent back through Qi Gou. However, the news that they were trapped under the Ice Mound Peak had been blocked by the demons and had not been sent back. Therefore, Tan Yeshan and the others were still unknown. However, since they had alerted the demons, it was estimated that they would be doomed.
