Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1723: Chapter 130: First Big Victory! Wang’s Civilian Corps Shows Its Might_4

In addition, a group of Celestial Guardians riding Jade Horned Pegasus also proactively moved forward to engage the enemy, blocking Chao Yingrui’s aides.

In terms of Heavenly Human Realm experts, the number of Wang’s Civilian Corps far exceeds the Demon Falcon Battalion.

After all, in Wang’s Civilian Corps, anyone who could take on a leadership position was a Sky Pride as a base, and many were Great Heavenly Proud, which compared to the ordinary Heavenly Human Realm in the Demon Falcon Battalion, their combat power was not on the same level at all.

As soon as the battle started, the disparity immediately became apparent.

The Golden Sun Guards on the city wall, bolstered by reinforcements and the legion banner, were also bursting with morale and fearlessly withstood the impact of the Demon Falcon’s three combat camps, indirectly relieving a wave of pressure from Wang’s Civilian Corps.

Troops against troops, generals against generals, with Golden Sun City Head as the core, over ten thousand people began fierce fighting on this vast battlefield.

A chaotic mix of energy fluctuations accompanied by flashes of swords and blades, with expansive Sword Energy raging, at times the whole world seemed filled with calls to kill, roars, and wails.

People were constantly falling, being replaced by others.

The vast battlefield seemed like a giant meat grinder, under the flashes of swords and blades, scarlet blood almost dyed the entire city head red.

Under the circumstances of encirclement and pincer attack, elite disparity, equipment disparity, legion banner reinforcement and weakening, the Demon Falcon Battalion’s formation had been completely disrupted, constantly being sliced and swallowed by Wang’s Civilian Corps.

Their troops were being rapidly consumed at an exaggerated speed.

By this time, the defeat of the Demon Falcon Battalion was already determined.

As some small groups of soldiers began to break away and flee, it also signaled the complete dispersion of the Demon Falcon Battalion’s morale, and the complete defeat of the army was just a matter of time.

“Do not let any soldiers escape!”

Wang Anye noticed this, and immediately shouted loudly: “Surrender and live! Our army does not torture prisoners, does not kill prisoners, as long as you don’t resist or flee, I will guarantee your safety! I, Wang Anye, guarantee this in the name of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child.”

Enhanced by Mysterious Energy, his voice spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Unparalleled Heavenly Child!

Indeed! This is indeed an Unparalleled Heavenly Child!

Chao Yingrui, who was engaged in battle against him, had a grim and peculiar expression.

When he was being suppressed by a Purple Abode Realm holding a Dao-level Item as a Divine Power Territory, he already felt something was thoroughly amiss.

Such a terrifying character, compared to Little Demon Sovereign during his time in the Purple Abode Realm, was no less impressive, right? Is he secretly trained by the Immortal Supreme?

To be defeated by such an unparalleled hand, it’s not considered unjust.

Whether in the Immortal Dynasty or the Demonic Dynasty, Unparalleled Heavenly Children hold a transcendent status. Because becoming unparalleled, surely enters the Void Realm.

As a future Transcendent Void Realm major figure, this kind of person generally cherishes their reputation more externally, the likelihood of breaking their word is very low, many routing soldiers who wanted to break free, hesitated and then voluntarily dropped their weapons.

Surrendering was always highly contagious.

Once there is a first surrender, it quickly becomes a large spread.

Soon, apart from a few soldiers still struggling, most of the remaining routing troops abandoned resistance and surrendered.

Aware that the situation was lost, Chao Yingrui also decisively stopped resisting: “Young Master Wang Anye, I cease my resistance, and hope you will uphold your promise.”

No one wants to die.

Also, this is the Immortal Dynasty’s army, not facing domain monsters, though surrendering was disgraceful, but over several Immortal-Demon wars, whether it was troops of the Demonic Dynasty or the Immortal Dynasty, there were many who surrendered upon entering dire straits, they were no different from this one unit.

“You can rest assured about this.” Wang Anye, seeing that his goal was achieved, said loudly, “However, naturally, you’ll have to pay for your crimes. Specific personnel will discuss with your Demonic Dynasty. The crimes you’ve committed must be compensated for.”

Chao Yingrui sighed with relief: “That is rightful, I believe our master house will pay the price to redeem us. Please inform me of your troop’s designation as well, so we may surrender with heartfelt conviction.”

Wang Anye nodded and naturally stated the designation: “Dongqian Country, Longzuo County, Changning Wang’s Civilian Corps.”

“What? What? Civilian Corps?” Chao Yingrui almost fell from the sky in amazement.

Is this teasing him or for real?

In his view, though this army was still young and from many details he could see they lacked combat experience, their potential in all aspects was very strong, very strong indeed. If one infers based on Young Master Wang Anye’s strength and status, it was likely secretly created by the Immortal Palace as a new force.

Based on this army’s organizational structure and soldier quality, many conditions suggest they aim to develop into an [Ace Battalion] in the future. Losing to such an army, Chao Yingrui had nothing to say.

Chao Yingrui instinctively thought Wang Anye was deliberately mocking him, anger surged, his tone was a bit hostile: “Is young master deliberately insulting me?”

“Are you surrendering or not?” Wang Anye’s expression also turned hostile, “You’ve committed countless crimes after invading Liang Country, if you weren’t confessing your crimes, I would’ve shot an arrow through you long ago.”

“Surrender.”

Chao Yingrui saw the murderous intent rising in his eyes, quickly acknowledged the reality and nodded heavily.

Wang Anye finally restrained his expression, instructing those around him: “Put the Soul Lock on him. Take him to immediately persuade the small groups still stubbornly resisting.”

This battle was extremely fast, but cleaning up the battlefield took half a day.

After the battle, the Civilian Corps temporarily stationed outside Jinyang Guard, while calculating war losses and cleaning up the mess. After several visits from the Jinyang Guard City Lord himself, the battle report was finally delivered to Wang Anye’s tent.

Casualty statistics from this battle.

The Demon Falcon Battalion had 1,394 killed, over 2,000 wounded, totaling over 4,100 captured. As for the armor, weapons, Spirit Beast level warhorses, naturally they all became spoils of Wang’s Civilian Corps.

This time, Wang’s Civilian Corps went to war bringing shackles several times the number of their own troops specifically to cope with such a situation.

These captives starting from Spirit Platform Realm were very valuable. If Demonic Dynasty didn’t want to ransom them, selling them to the Immortal Dynasty’s Cannon Fodder Camp on the outer battlefield, or assigning them as construction labor would all be profitable.

A Spirit Platform Realm captive could sell for at least a thousand Immortal Crystals, that’s over a million Qian Gold, and among them are many Spirit Platform Realm mid-late stages, Heavenly Human Realm, even Purple Abode Realm, Divine Power Territory captives, along with a plethora of equipment as spoils.

According to preliminary estimates, this victory could at least earn ten million Immortal Crystals, enough to buy two or three Places of spiritual inheritance. Moreover, post-battle, Liang Country wouldn’t leave the “volunteer army” that came from afar to support them without any acknowledgment…

Even Wang Anye, who was used to seeing money, couldn’t help but sigh, realizing that earning money through war seems remarkably quick, this time’s profits were indeed hefty.

However, this battle also incurred some losses for Wang’s Civilian Corps.

48 sacrificed, over 300 injured, more than 100 severely wounded. Fortunately, Wang family’s strongest suit is healing, these wounded can mostly receive adequate treatment.

Wang Anye, although pained and saddened, could do nothing.

How can war happen without deaths? Moreover, this time’s casualty rate was already very low.

Additionally, through this battle, Wang’s Civilian Corps finally underwent baptism by battlefield, subsequently they will rapidly mature into truly seasoned soldiers.

“Seventh Brother, we need to rapidly and comprehensively control these captives, then hand them over to Jinyang Guard for custody.” Wang Anxin came in to report, “Our wounded should be divided, left at Jinyang Guard for healing and assisting in custody. Next, we need Wang’s Civilian Corps to proceed with the next phase.”

“Indeed.” Lu Xiaoxiao still had some blood traces not wiped completely off her face, hearing this she immediately became excited, her eyes lit up, “We need to quickly enter the next strategic phase, make a mark, no, showcase the prowess of Wang’s Civilian Corps!”

“Mm, completely thwarting Little Demon Sovereign’s plans on Spirit Canal Continent is our mission priority this time.” Wang Anye also spoke seriously, “However, earning more Merit Points, making more money is also important. After all, our Civilian Corps has invested tremendously, future resource needs are greater, we need to quickly enter a virtuous cycle of fighting to sustain fighting.”

“Haha, that Little Demon Sovereign indeed is unlucky, getting targeted by my great grandfather.”

“Pah, to hell with Little Demon Sovereign and Old Devil, dare to oppose cousin Shou Zhe, watch how I, Lu Xiaoxiao, hammer them to death!”
