Chapter 1529 – Battle Between Life and Death (4)
The four commanders were all distraught. They saw that their defeat was already set; receiving such a blow from
the Broken Star Palace, they really had the urge to just die.
But escape?
They dared not. They dared not make a bet on the survival of their country.
Once Shen Yanxiao recovered her strength, she would certainly retaliate against them. But the cities in their
countries were not so strong as The Rising Sun City.
It seemed that whether they wanted to continue to be enemies with Shen Yanxiao or not, this war must be fought
until the end.
The four-nation alliance pulled all the way back, leaving countless corpses lying on the ground.
The main forces of The Rising Sun City drove forward with irresistible force.
All this time, Long Yue had been protected behind the army; Jiang Wan had also placed one of his strongest squads
around him.
Long Yue had witnessed the whole battle, and there was not the trace of an expression on his face. But at this time,
as the army retreated in defeat step by step, he went to the front through the soldiers blocking him, and directly
walked over to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan looked at Long Yue with surprise. He said, “Your Highness, this is not the place where you should
come!”
Long Yue looked at Jiang Wan and said, “Since we have already lost, why should we continue to fight?”
He could see that the four-nation alliance no longer had any hope of victory. Only five Mythological Beasts were
left from the more than twenty Mythological Beasts, and each one was even seriously wounded. Their siege
weapons were all gone, almost all the soldiers were dead and wounded, and the three million army was now only
less than 800,000.
There were two Holy Beasts and eight Mythological Beasts on the opposite side. In this war, they would surely be
defeated.
Jiang Wan’s expression looked very unsightly; it was not that he didn’t know they had already lost this war.
“Failure is inevitable, but if we don’t continue to fight now, and let Shen Yanxiao have a chance to breathe, then she
will retaliate against us.” At that time, the army of two Holy Beasts and eight Mythological Beasts would bring
destruction to Long Xuan Empire.
Long Yue softly smiled.
“General, you are very familiar with the art of war. Today’s war against The Rising Sun City has caused serious
casualties on both sides. Even if Shen Yanxiao wants to get back at us, it will not happen in a month or two. During
this time, she will recuperate and build up her strength. Don’t tell me we should not? If you really insist on making a
desperate struggle, that is really going to force Shen Yanxiao to make a move to kill each and every one of us.”
Long Yue had once stayed in The Rising Sun City for a while. As for the key figures around Shen Yanxiao, he also
had interacted with them.
“Shen Yanxiao’s trusted friends are still alive. We still have room to change things. But if we were to continue now,
those people are likely to get killed or wounded. When that time comes, things really won’t stop until one of us is
dead.”
Jiang Wan looked at Long Yue; he did not think that this young prince could actually think like this.
“In the end, we are just making a wedding dress for the Broken Star Palace. Are you still going to be tempted by the
Broken Star Palace until this moment?”
“But… even if we retreat now, we will still suffer.” Jiang Wan said.
“Retreat now and Shen Yanxiao will only have hatred toward us. But if we choose the opposite, then she will kill us
to the last man.” Long Yue sighed. From the very beginning, he didn’t want this war to happen. However, he knew
very well that with his ability, he wouldn’t be able to change anything at all.
But at this moment, he really could no longer bear to see Jiang Wan and others obstinately persisting in going about
things the wrong way.
If Shen Yanxiao were really in a hurry to take revenge, he believed that as soon as the war ended, she would dare to
take her several Holy Beasts and Mythological Beasts to the capitals of four countries to launch an attack.
Jiang Wan gritted his teeth. Long Yue’s words were not without sense; he knew that hatred had already been forged
between them. But he really did not want to just helplessly watch the soldiers under his hand die tragically in the
future.
