Chapter 2720 The Tragic Angels
In addition to losing 30,000 general-level warriors, more than 200,000 ordinary soldiers were also killed. This was even with preparations and the support of two powerful generals; otherwise, the losses would have been even more severe.

In addition, two god-level ninjas and two god-level warriors went to Wenyuan Town to carry out missions and were unable to attend to the battlefield here, which led to such a heavy price.

Knowing that his resurrection time was short and that his strength, stamina, and other attributes had not changed, the lord of the Eastern Shinto sect made a decisive strategic retreat, withdrawing twenty miles away.

This golden-armored legion is all infantry. Although twenty miles is not a long distance, it can still somewhat limit their burst of speed.

"I didn't expect that we would retreat twenty miles!" Lin Mu received Zhou Zhenya's latest report and found that the marching distance had become twenty-two miles!

Lin Mu was also the first player to watch the live stream and learn about the situation.

Retreating twenty li would require the Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guards to march for some time before they could reach the Eastern Ying camp. This significantly increased their time and physical exertion, leaving them less capable in the subsequent charge.

This greatly reduced the efficiency of the assault.

This differs from his prediction of twenty possible occurrences.

"We lost money the first four times, but then we made it back... It seems that when we went all out at the beginning, it was hard to get a piece of the pie even with a powerful general in charge. But after a few more attempts, we used up our resources and our efficiency picked up again."

Just as the players expected, the eighth battle cries stopped abruptly after a while, as if the entire army had been wiped out.

After that, there was no sound for a long time in the darkness.

Faintly, from a very, very far place, there seemed to be some movement, but it was too far away to hear clearly.

After that, the players waited... but this time, it took three times as long before that familiar clanging sound finally rang out.

What exactly happened? Was the revival too weak?

However, the same thing happened again, only this time the interval was much longer.

The ninth time... the tenth time... the eleventh time...

This continued until the fourteenth time, when the sky began to brighten...

At this moment, the players discovered that the Japanese camp was deserted, with only a mess on the ground.

Ning Xinhua, who had stayed up all night, ran quickly towards her destination, which was twenty miles away.
From a distance, one could see a huge ravine appearing on the flat ground.

This ditch, built in a semi-circle around the new Japanese camp, is several kilometers long and about ten meters wide. It was obviously dug by the Japanese on short notice.

They didn't build any defensive fortifications before, but now they've been forced to bring out all sorts of fortifications by the golden-armored soldiers.

Players who had been watching the live stream finally understood why the Golden Armor Legion's charges and suicides took so long in the later stages—it turned out that the Japanese camp had retreated twenty miles!

It's ironic that millions of Japanese soldiers were scared off for twenty miles by 120,000 golden-armored soldiers.

At the same time, it also demonstrates the terrifying characteristics of Lin Mu's Golden Armor Legion:
1. Fast resurrection speed (the cost of resurrection may be very small);
2. There is a sufficient supply of standard equipment, at least one million sets (the equipment may be restored to its original state after the golden-armored soldiers are resurrected).

3. Their strength, cultivation level, etc., remained completely unchanged after their resurrection;

4. Burst skills (twelve Heaven-rank generals become Divine Generals, and one Earth-rank general becomes a Five Elements Divine General) have a long cooldown time.

These characteristics were analyzed by some observant individuals. Lin Mu made no attempt to conceal this legion, indicating that it wasn't his most crucial trump card.

The first battle of the Great Wilderness Xuanwu Guard ended at dawn the next day. This time, they did not emerge from the city gate as scheduled, and the clanging sound did not ring out.

The Japanese, who retreated twenty miles, did not advance further but instead camped twenty miles away.

The Japanese are truly terrified now!
The 120,000 golden-armored soldiers drove them back twenty miles, and afterwards they dared not make any rash moves... It was truly terrifying.

The ambitious and audacious lord of the divine path was currently deep in thought, alone in his tent.

At this moment, a sense of fear welled up within him. He once again experienced the oppressive and terrifying feeling of military force that he could only feel in the outer realms!

He had a premonition that this legion should not have appeared in Shenzhou! Nor should it have appeared in the Origin Realm!
However, its appearance means that Lin Mu has defied fate at some point.

"Such a rapid and costless resurrection... what kind of method is this? Those terrifying dragon lords rarely possess such abilities... perhaps they do, but they always keep it hidden as their ultimate trump card. Lin Mu's direct revelation—what deeper meaning lies behind it?" The Lord of the Eastern Sea Gods was utterly bewildered...

His previous ambitions had been extinguished last night. He realized that without making changes, the operation might come to nothing.

"My lord, the Iga ninjas have returned..." At that moment, a report came from outside the tent.

"You...come in," the Lord of the Divine Path sighed.

Then, several men in black robes led in two Japanese men dressed as ninjas, their bodies covered in blood.

"Why are there only the two of you?" The Lord of the Divine Path asked, his brows furrowing sharply.

The operation failed as expected, but I didn't expect that two people would respond!

"My lord, the others have all perished!!" The leading god-level ninja knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

The Lord of the Divine Path was not surprised at all upon hearing this.

"Lin Mu withdrew most of the garrison from the city wall and ambushed us. Takeo Takeuchi and Kentaro Hase were both killed by that Four Divine General named Feng Zhong!"

"We only set fire to four granaries and also gathered information about the city lord's mansion."

"What did you gain?" The Lord of the Divine Path ignored everything else and asked directly about the results.

"They are all bound to the heart of the city..."

“Slaughter…they revive by obtaining something through slaughter!” the ninja reported hoarsely, lying prone.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Divine Path raised an eyebrow: "So, if they can't kill, they can't be resurrected?"

"Yes, that's very likely the case!"

"They didn't charge indefinitely; after one night, they went quiet, presumably in the process of recovering."

"My lord, then we can devise a way to deal with them based on their characteristics," a man in black robes said solemnly.

"My lord, we must hurry. Our performance yesterday was so poor that it might make the people of Shenzhou think we are easy to deal with, which would attract more people to come and besiege us."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Divine Path nodded silently.

Many people in China also wanted to know Lin Mu's background and wanted him destroyed, so they didn't immediately mobilize a large army to surround him regardless of the cost. But if the conflict dragged on for a while, unforeseen circumstances would arise...

With the golden-armored army in front and time pressing behind... I never imagined that in just one day, the entire situation would change 180 degrees!
"My Lord, let's go all in! All 3.72 million Japanese warriors and 950,000 support troops, send them all on! Fight to the death, never retreat, until the very end!!!" At this moment, a man in black robes suggested in a powerful voice.

"Yes! Lord God, a protracted war of attrition is no longer suitable for the current situation. We should commit all our forces now and decide the outcome in one decisive battle!"

"I second that!" "I second that!"

"Seconded!"

Suddenly, all the Japanese were of one mind.

However, the Lord of the Divine Path hesitated. He feared that besides the 120,000 golden-armored soldiers, there were other golden-armored soldiers hidden within the city. If that were the case, the cost of the siege would be extremely high.

Of these millions of warriors, nine out of ten will not be able to be resurrected!

If they were all lying in ambush here, it would shake the very foundation of Japan and the future development of Shinto!

"Send someone to negotiate first!" After pondering for a long time, the Lord of the Divine Path still did not gamble everything.

The negotiation was actually one of the planned steps, but no one expected it to be carried out the very next day.

Upon hearing this, the others were deflated and said nothing more.

However, their execution was very strong, and the negotiation team quickly went to Wenyuan Town.

"The Japanese are using the safety of Wenyuan Town as a bargaining chip to exchange for the stolen national treasure. If we don't agree, we'll go all in, with all five million Japanese warriors attacking the city to the death!"

Lin Mu looked at the message sent by Zhou Zhenya and sneered: "You've got a good plan, huh? Going all in... to the death, huh?"

"Let them come!" Lin Mu made a decisive statement.

After that, Lin Mu did not continue watching Ning Xinhua's live stream, but instead switched to Zhang Xinlai's live stream.

That's right, Zhang Xinlai is also live streaming right now, but he's not live streaming from Yangzhou, he's live streaming from Qingzhou!
What the players don't know is that Qingzhou has also been invaded by other divine lords, and it's the angelic civilization that they are very familiar with!

Through the live stream, Lin Mu watched the horrific scene with a furrowed brow.

"Where are the divine angels? Why can't we see them? Huang Zhong has already slaughtered hundreds of thousands of ordinary angels and knights without any high-level combat power stopping him?"

"Seventy percent of the outer traps have been activated and shattered, killing approximately 200,000 angels and knights. Adding Huang Zhong's legion, at least 500,000 enemies have been slaughtered!" Zhang Xinlai's voice rang out in the live broadcast room. He knew Lin Mu was watching, so he reported the battle situation immediately.

"The subsequent traps may not cause many casualties, but the enemy has already reacted."

"We lost 60,000 Jiuyang soldiers and 80,000 soldiers stationed at the formation."

"The casualties are estimated to be around 150,000!"

Zhang Xinlai's live stream is private, and outsiders cannot enter to watch it, so I'm reporting directly here.

"Dao Jiu, none of the enemy's peak beings have appeared! Not a single one. I suspect they might not have come because other Divine Lords tipped them off, or perhaps they did come, but didn't invade from here, but... through other passages!" Guo Jia's voice rang out in the live broadcast room. Clearly, he had already arrived beside Zhang Xinlai.

"Other passages...could they be...the capital city of Luoyang?!" Lin Mu suddenly realized.

He did not use the Ten Directions Battlefield Token to sense the situation of the various divine lords at all times, so he was unaware of the changes at the edge of the angelic civilization.

"They're throwing half a million cannon fodder right here, that's some serious guts! They're trying to reclaim their ancestral lands, aren't they!"

However, if they really did head that way, then things will be even worse!!

To be honest, Lin Mu wasn't too worried about the situation in Qingzhou. He had Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, and others working together to handle it.

If anything goes wrong, they will use the Chapter of Souls to summon him there.

In short, China must not be allowed to be disrupted by the gods!
"Unfortunately, their deployment over there has been halted, so we don't know the specifics," Lin Mu said regretfully.

Just as Lin Mu was feeling regretful, the people of the Angelic Civilization did indeed change course.

The passage that had been sealed off was reconnected by Heaven through special means.

A terrifying energy storm erupted from the thatched hut, tearing it apart. Its owner was gone, and it could no longer hold on…

And this space, for some reason, has become more expansive and more enchanting.

"Boom!!!!!" The next moment, a series of huge roars reverberated.

In that otherwise silent space, an enormous black hole appeared.

The black hole's energy surged wildly, but nothing else appeared.

As time went on, the black hole's energy gradually stabilized, but before the energy could completely stabilize, a huge ship slowly sailed out of the black hole.

That black hole was at least five hundred feet in size, and that ship was half that size!

Soon, the strange giant ship sailed out of the black hole and appeared in that vast space.

This enormous ship, about a thousand feet long and three hundred feet wide, floated in mid-air.

This is an airship!

"I will, I will, I will seize the flying boat for this Prime Minister!!!" At this moment, a rough voice rang out from below the ship.

On that vast expanse of ground, an army of millions had appeared out of nowhere!
Among them, the cavalry riding winged giant bears was the most eye-catching!
The speaker was a large, burly man standing on a bronze chariot.

Beside him was a military general holding a halberd.

"Don't worry, Godfather, I will definitely get you the flying boat!" the general holding the halberd said confidently.

"All angels, attack!!!" There were no pleasantries or introductions between the two sides; they went straight into battle.

Countless bird-men with flapping wings jumped off the flying boat and swooped down.

"Buzz!!!" In mid-air, a dozen terrifying auras suddenly emanated—they were divine-level angels!
But that wasn't all. Three bird-men with two pairs of wings jumped out from the airship.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that one of them was enveloped in a dense white light, making it impossible to see his face, while the other two had a stiff expression on their faces. Although they were fair-skinned and handsome, they had a sinister and terrifying aura.

"Just one Heavenly General and two puppets of the same level, mere chickens and dogs!" The general holding the halberd said with a faint smile, his voice resonating throughout the entire space.

At this moment, the general was already sitting on a chestnut warhorse.

"Bang!!!" The next moment, the chestnut warhorse suddenly spurred its horse and took off, charging straight towards the three of them.

A great war is about to break out!!
