Chapter 408 Fish Belly White
The Eagle Guard's claws and beak are as sharp as weapons, and every attack can tear the enemy's body apart.
This is a single-target attack, but their wind and fire elements can kill enemies on a large scale.
However, the ghost bird is not an easy enemy to deal with.
They come in various shapes, some are huge, some are extremely fast, and some are good at group attacks.
They screamed and rushed towards the Eagle Guards, attacking frantically with their sharp beaks and claws.
For a time, the air battle was full of chaos and blood.
"This Ghost Wolf Marquis really doesn't give us any advantage at all." The old patriarch said as he watched the fierce fight between the Eagle Guards and the Ghost Bird.
The reason why Ghost Wolf Marquis dispatched thousands of ghost birds was that he did not want to give the Eagle Guards a chance to kill the ghost beast army.
"It doesn't dare. If we let the Eagle Guards go and attack in groups, even the elite army of ghost beasts will not be able to withstand such an attack and will be doomed to be defeated." Liu Weizi shook his head.
"After all, there are still a few Eagle Guards." The old patriarch now understood what Shang Liangshan said.
If there were the same number of Eagle Guards and Spirit Guards, the battlefield would be a completely different scene.
"Not a few. Mainly due to ground combat, they slowed down the Eagle Guards' attack rhythm. Otherwise, they would have fought and attacked in groups. Even if there were tens of thousands of ghost birds, they would have suffered a great loss against them."
"That's right." The old patriarch nodded and looked at the battlefield on the ground.
The fierce fighting continues, and the temporary Eagle Guard medical soldiers are extremely busy shuttling around the battlefield transporting the seriously wounded.
Time passed in the fighting, and when the sky began to turn pale, the noise on the battlefield gradually subsided.
The army of ghost beasts quietly withdrew under the cover of the afterglow of the night, leaving behind a dead silent battlefield.
Nearly three thousand soldiers stood quietly surrounded by corpses, their bodies covered in black blood and dirt, but with smiles of victory on their faces.
The surroundings were in a mess, with the fallen bodies of ghost beasts lying all over the ground.
Their bodies have been dyed dark black by the black blood.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burning, which made people feel nauseous.
Under the feet of the coalition forces, black blood gathered into a stream, flowing slowly, as if telling the story of the tragic battle that had just taken place.
A phantom thundercloud appeared and floated down, carrying three thousand warriors as it rushed towards the Forgotten Land.
The war ends here!
"Let's go back too." said the old patriarch.
The brutality of this battle is self-evident. Only 1,200 Spirit Guards were left intact, and only 300 Eagle Guards were left intact at the end of the battle. The coalition forces had less than 1,900, a reduction of nearly 70%.
"Okay." When Liu Weizi saw Shang Liangshan nod, he controlled the floating clouds and flew towards the Forgotten Land.
An interlude during the journey was that when Phantom Thunder Cloud returned at high speed to clean up the battlefield, he met them halfway.
This shows how fast the phantom thundercloud is now.
Liu Weizi envied this and said, "I wonder when my merits and virtues will reach the height of Huanyou Leiyun."
The old patriarch was very considerate and said, "This day will come."
The Forgotten Township market has now been transformed into a temporary clinic, accommodating nearly 11,000 wounded people.
In the bamboo shed, there were occasional groans, laughter, and scolding, but surprisingly, there was no sound of crying.
It’s not that the coalition forces are cold-blooded and unaware of the death of their comrades, but that they have experienced too many life and death separations since the Ghost Tribulation.
Just as the leader elder said: "In such a big battle, it's good to survive."
In the pavilion, the old patriarch picked up the casualty report that Yifeng had handed over to him and began to read it.
The old patriarch knew that all the wolf riders were injured but no one was killed.
So the old man just took a glance and then started looking at the coalition forces' casualty report.
Of the 12,500 men, nearly 1,600 were killed, nearly 3,600 were seriously injured, nearly 4,000 were moderately injured, and just over 1,900 were slightly injured.
The old patriarch put down the casualty report, looked at Yifeng and asked, "Do the leaders of the various villages and mountain strongholds have any complaints against us?"
"No, the casualty figures are far lower than they expected, but the gains are beyond imagination. The fifth rank is in sight."
"That's good." The old patriarch was relieved, thought for a moment and said, "If they need spirit tools to absorb spirits, you can keep an account first."
"I'm afraid this door may be difficult to open." Yifeng said with difficulty.
"It's up to you." After saying this, the old patriarch began to drink his tea leisurely, which made Yifeng want to roll his eyes.
In the Huawai Taoist temple, Shang Liangshan asked Xiaocao about the current situation of the spirit guards and eagle guards whose spirit bodies were shattered.
Xiao Cao organized his words and said, "After an Eagle Guard is promoted to a demon spirit, as long as its demon soul is not extinguished and it has enough energy to absorb, it will only take half a month to condense a spiritual body."
"The situation of the spirit guard is somewhat special. He needs to sleep first to absorb the power of incense and vows to heal his wounds. After his soul recovers, he can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense his spirit body. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the time of full recovery."
Shang Liangshan nodded when he heard this, and then asked about the conditions of temples in various places.
"Master, Xiaocao was just about to report this." Xiaocao first recounted the situation of the temple cleaning, and then mentioned that there were groups of ghost beasts gathering around the major temples.
"What is to come will eventually come." Shang Liangshan sighed, and then ordered: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when the gates of hell are wide open, the army of ghost beasts will definitely besiege the major temples."
"In this battle, the Spirit Guards, Eagle Guards, and Spirit Wolf Guards must not take action unless it is a critical moment."
"Master, do you want to check the overall strength of the new towns of the major temples?" Xiaocao asked respectfully.
"Yes and no, gratitude is very important." Before he finished speaking, Shang Liangshan's figure flashed by, disappeared from the spot, and appeared in the pavilion. He said to the lying old patriarch: "Old patriarch, let's go prepare some dishes and call Taoist Liu to have a drink."
"Hehe, no need. Lao Huo is preparing it. We just need to sit back and wait for our meal." The old patriarch said as he poured Shang Liangshan a cup of tea.
"Fifth Elder, don't you want to go home and take a look?" Shang Liangshan asked in surprise.
"Those who have no one at home, go to the market to help, those who go to school go to school."
"Oh" Shang Liangshan suddenly realized.
Not long after, Taoist Priest Liu, who had just given chicken soup to his disciples, also came with a happy face.
"What makes you so happy, little brother? Tell us and let's have fun together." The old patriarch said with a smile.
Liu Weizi laughed heartily and said, "Our sect has gained another powerful king-level expert. Elder Xuan Ce has made a breakthrough."
"He also sent me a message saying that he would come to Forgotten Township in a while. By the way, according to Elder Xuan Ce, Elder Xuan Zhen is likely to soar to the sky and be crowned king during his retreat this time."
"That's great news, it's really great news. Brother Liu, you must not leave until you are drunk." The old patriarch clapped his hands.
"It's indeed a good thing, worth getting drunk." Shang Liangshan nodded in agreement.
"Of course." Liu Weizi was very happy.
Xuan Ce and Taoist Xuan Zhen are one of his backers. Now that the former has been crowned king, the thigh he holds on to has become a pillar of support, and his status will surely rise after he returns to the sect.
While the three were chatting, Xiaoli came running over with a bitter face.
