481 Hidden Crisis

After Li Xiang destroyed one of the Eternal race’s armies, they still had more than 100 battleships left in the north.

However, under the bombardment of the cannons, even if they tried to escape, not many of them managed to escape. Only sixty to seventy Floating Warships managed to escape.

At this moment, one of the eye demon’s clones suddenly appeared and said, “Your Majesty! The army of the Angel race has been wiped out. The six commanders killed four of them, but the king of the Angel race Huaye escaped. Should we go after him?”

“Report our situation to Li Jing and let him decide what to do!” Li Xiang said after a moment of silence.

Since the command of this battle had already been handed over, he decided to see it through.

Hearing this, the eye demon’s clone closed his eyes and reported the situation. Then he opened his eyes and said, “Your Majesty, the General-in-chief said that they will immediately split up their forces. A portion of them will intercept the Eternal race’s remnants, while the rest will go and kill the Deinosuchus race.”

“Good! Tell Li Jing that the Deinosuchus race might have a Holy Light-grade weapon. Tell him to act according to the situation, and not be reckless!”

“Yes!”

The eye demon’s clone went into hiding again, and Li Xiang went to the East City wall.

“Country Lord!”

Zhao Yun came to Li Xiang’s back and respectfully bowed.

He had thought that there would be a brutal war in the City of Dawn, but what really happened proved him wrong.

The king of the Eternal race’s fate was unknown, and more than half of the Eternal race army had been wiped out.

“Bring some men to clean up the battlefield immediately. Check if the king of the Eternal race, Yameng, is dead.”

“Yes!”

The gate of the City of Dawn opened again, and a group of Human race soldiers quickly arrived outside the city.

“Everyone, be careful!” Zhao Yun shouted, “We do not want any prisoners. So, when you see the enemy lying down, don’t forget to finish them off. All spoils of war shall be returned to the public, and those who keep it will be dealt with according to military law!”

“Yes!”

These soldiers were the same as Zhao Yun. They thought that they would experience a bitter battle. It didn’t occur to them that the enemy would be so weak. Half of them were killed by the king with a single strike. The other half of the enemy did not even fight and just ran away.

As soldiers, how could they get military merits without a fight? How could they obtain resources without military merits? How could they improve themselves without resources?

Therefore, these soldiers held great resentment toward the foreign races.

A slightly plump soldier in exquisite armor held a spear and pierced through the head of an Eternal race soldier. He cursed, “You thought you were cool huh? Don’t you know that the Country Lord has a bad temper? You should have just charged at the city wall and participated in the battle. It’s because of you that I didn’t earn any merit points, and now I have to come out to clean up trash like you.”

As he spoke, he stomped on the head of another Eternal race warrior, not caring about the blood that was splattering everywhere.

He had seen how these foreign races had treated their race. Therefore, he didn’t think it was too much to treat them in the cruelest way.

Just as he was cursing, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him. His mind turned cold, and his movements were extremely agile as he turned around.

However, when he turned his head, his eyes revealed a look of shock. He saw that the top of the wall that he had thrust out was firmly held, and he could not move forward at all.

“Bas*ard! I asked you to clean up the battlefield, not to torture the corpses. Look at you, you’ve stabbed them so many times that there’s blood everywhere. How do you expect me to clean up the treasures?”

The soldier’s expression changed slightly. He quickly put away his spear and stood up from the ground. With a flattering smile on his face, he said, “Haha, Captain, it’s my fault. I was just complaining. Please don’t take it too seriously. Don’t worry. I’ll not only deal the finishing blow, but I’ll also collect all the valuable things. You can just follow behind and pack.”

The one behind was a soldier who was not even thirty years old. He had a weathered look on his face. He patted the chubby soldier’s shoulder and said, “Fatty, I understand how you feel. After all, we’re considered the elites of the city guard, and we’ve already reached level 100. We’re just relying on this battle to further level up. However, to be able to obtain such results without any deaths is also the Country Lord’s empathy for us. Don’t have any complaints. Speak less and do more. If you complain, you will be punished with twenty strokes of the stick when you return!”

“Yes!”

The chubby man quickly straightened his body and responded loudly, “Yes, sir!” Then he ran forward, killing as many as he could while collecting the spoils.

The captain looked at him and a smile appeared in his eyes.

What was there to be dissatisfied about when he could obtain victory without any deaths? Although he would lose experience points, his life was the most precious.

Li Xiang stood on top of the city wall, frowning as he looked at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield. He felt a little uneasy.

It was over all too soon, so quick that it was surprising and unsettling.

But as to where this uneasiness came from, he was also a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, although the king of the Eternal race had lost quickly, there was a reason for it. The attack of the Sun Wheel was valid.

However, the other party was not completely powerless to retaliate. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a large energy fluctuation.

But now, there was no trace of the king of the Eternal race. This was a little strange.

This was especially so for the enemy’s flagship. Although he didn’t personally go to the battlefield to check, with his ability, he could even see the border clearly. A distance of a few dozen miles was naturally not a problem for him.

However, he didn’t see the remains of the king of the Eternal race’s flagship.

“Tell the soldiers on the city wall to not relax and to strengthen their defenses! The enemy might not have left yet!”

When Alice and the others heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

Just as he was about to give the order, the ground suddenly began to shake. The entire City of Dawn was shaking.

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and thought, ‘They’re here! They’re actually underground!”

As soon as this thought came to his mind, a few more violent tremors came from the ground.

“The Eternal race shouldn’t be the race that is good at digging holes. The Scorpion race should be the one that is good at it. And the Scorpion race should have been in North City by now. Why would they come here? Could it be another Scorpion race?”

All the cities in the Kingdom of Dawn had Rune Bomb traps, not just outside the cities, but even under the cities.

As long as one wanted to enter the city through the underground, it was impossible not to trigger it.

It was obvious that the Scorpion race here was digging a tunnel to the surface at all costs.

“Bang!”

An empty space outside a residential area in the northwest corner of the City of Dawn suddenly collapsed, and a huge hole appeared.

A tall and sturdy figure of Scorpion race, who was in a sorry state, dashed out with a spear in his hand.

Following his appearance, the Scorpion race’s soldiers quickly drilled out of the ground.

These Scorpion race’s warriors all had ice-cold faces. Their bodies carried a brutal aura, and their eyes were blood-red.

They came from another Scorpion race, and their strength was much stronger than Li Qing’s Scorpion race. This time, they had sent out 500,000 soldiers.

In order to open up a tunnel, they had been digging a tunnel to the City of Dawn from 50 kilometers away after disembarking from the Floating Warship.
