The Emperor is Above

Chapter 508: The Ghost Witch Tribe has a crystal mine? (450+ additional chapters per subscription) First update

A great war was finally won, but the price paid was terrible.

Emperor Diqiu sent 5,000 reinforcements, but Shen Bubing fled in the face of the enemy and took away 600 elite cavalrymen.

The Beast Heavy Cavalry lost hundreds of soldiers when they attacked the Bone Demon Legion, and most of the remaining 355 were injured.

The chariots of Shen Bumie's chariot division were extremely sturdy. Even if they were lost on the battlefield, they could still be used after being retrieved. However, the sacrificed soldiers and elite soldiers on these chariots could not be rescued.

After a brutal battle, only more than 1,200 of the 3,000 Cheshi armored soldiers and elite troops survived, and all of them were injured, which means more than half of them were killed.

This means that out of the 5,000 reinforcements from the Emperor, including the Mage Battalion and 400 elite cavalry, only more than 2,300 people survived.

The loss ratio of the coalition forces of the princes from various countries in Zhongzhou was not so serious. Combined with the losses caused by the Nightmare Ghost attack in the early morning, the 35,000 people also lost 6,000 to 7,000 people.

However, the casualties of the Dragon City Guards were extremely low, with only over a hundred people unfortunately killed in the battle, and the rest were mostly slightly injured and could be back to life with a little treatment in the medical vehicle.

The stark contrast in casualties between the Longcheng Guards and the Zhongzhou Coalition Forces shocked the coalition generals, but also filled them with admiration and gratitude.

Just a few days before arriving at Yangwu City, their 40,000-strong coalition force was still arrogant and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and was determined to wipe out the Ghost Witch Tribe in the Lishui Lake.

Now think about it, if Qing Yi and Longcheng Guards had not participated in this battle, the complete annihilation of the 40,000-strong Zhongzhou coalition force would have been an inevitable result, and there would not have been any other possibility.

So hundreds of allied generals, led by Shen Bumie and Shen Buhai, came to Qing Yi with gratitude to express their most sincere thanks:
"The brutality of today's battle is unheard of in Zhongzhou. Our lives were saved by Shaoqing. We will always remember this kindness and will repay you in the future."

"In the past, we were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and made a lot of jokes in Xing State. From now on, on the battlefield in the northern border, we will all follow the orders of Shao Qing."

"It's still more comfortable to fight with Young Master Yi of Longcheng. To be honest, I'm now looking forward to the Border City battlefield and fighting side by side with Young Master again."

Qing Yi smiled and bowed to everyone in return, saying: "Today's great victory of the coalition forces is the result of your concerted efforts with me. There is no such thing as one saving another.

However, the allied soldiers were attacked by nightmare ghosts in the early morning and their spirits were plundered. They took elixirs to forcibly boost their fighting power, which caused great damage to their bodies and spirits.

We will have no combat capability for the next month, so you can wait until tomorrow to rush to Xuanwei City to set up camp, which will also give the soldiers some respite.

I will lead the Dragon City Guards deep into the Lishui Marsh and completely wipe out the Ghost Witch Tribe’s lair. Then we will return to Yangwu City together.”

"Completely wipe out the Ghost Witch Tribe?"

Shen Buhai's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Shaoqing Yi of Longcheng, if we want to completely wipe out the Ghost Witch Tribe, how can we do without our coalition soldiers?
Although most of the soldiers are exhausted and need to rest for a while, we can still put together a team to attack together."

The Ghost Witch Tribe is so powerful that if they could join in, it would be very helpful for them to become famous. The princes and generals immediately thought of this.

"Yes, what Captain Shen Buhai said makes sense. Since they are going to go deep into the Lishui Lake to wipe out the remnants of the Ghost Witch Tribe, how can we not be involved?"

"Shao Qing, we can draw out the lieutenants, commanders, and captains from the coalition forces of various countries, and send out 2,000 elite troops to fight with us."

Qing Yi knew what everyone was thinking, and after a moment's silence, he smiled and said, "Since you are all eager to fight, I will reorganize a team and fight with me.

In addition, we have to trouble the gentlemen from the Mage Camp to follow the army. They will help us with many things later."

"Don't worry, young master. The gentlemen in the Mage Camp will act together." Shen Buhai agreed without hesitation.

After seeing off the overjoyed coalition generals, the retainers were able to file in. The smile on Qing Yi's face quickly disappeared, and his eyes were filled with more distress:

"Alas, four of the twelve war puppets were destroyed in one battle, two of my classmates from the Imperial Academy were killed, and another five were seriously injured. Fortunately, Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu, Liu Xu, Meng Zi, and Shitou were not seriously injured, otherwise our losses in this battle would be too great.

In addition, the armored vehicle battalion destroyed 56 vehicles, and most of the soldiers inside were killed by bone demons, Yin warriors, and totem warriors.

These are the talents that Dragon City Fengtu cultivated with great difficulty. It is a pity to let them die on the battlefield. We must continue to strengthen the defense of war puppets and armored vehicles."

"Don't worry, my Lord. My mother and the pharmacists of the Jiliu tribe have made sufficient preparations. There are sufficient reserves of various spiritual medicines and spiritual ointments. As long as the soldiers are not killed on the spot, more than 95% can be saved."

Gongsun Wu's face turned a little worried when he said this, "It is Yang Lezi Shangqing, who has been staying in Yang Hu's tent for recuperation after the battle.

I am worried that he will covet the secret of the war puppet and secretly encourage Yang Hu to return to the Yang family, so as to leak the method of making the war puppet."

"Brother Gongsun, don't worry!"

Qing Yi immediately stopped Gongsun Wu's worries, "Brother Yang is a smart man. War puppets are the crystallization of everyone's wisdom, and they also require huge financial and material resources to support them.

After leaving Dragon City, it is very difficult to create a war puppet on your own. Yang Lezi Shangqing is simply unable to support it. He will figure this out. "

Shi Dazhu suddenly asked, "Brother Yi, now that the old witch's ghost witch army has been completely destroyed, what are your plans next?"

"My plan!"

Qing Yi smiled and said, "The army will rest for now and wait for news from Yangwu City. If everything goes well over there, we will immediately enter Lishui Lake to wipe out the Ghost Witch Tribe.

At the beginning of the year, the Ghost Witch Tribe was severely damaged, but it recovered and became even stronger in just half a year. We must not give the Ghost Witch Tribe another chance to recover this time."

"Master master!"

Da Niu and Mu Yi suddenly rushed in with surprise. They were just cleaning the battlefield and wondered what good things they had found.

Daniu held a piece of animal bone that was three feet long and a foot and a half wide, holding it in both hands like offering a treasure: "Master, look, this is what we found on the remains of the destroyed giant beast puppet."

"Huh? It's just an ordinary crystal! What's so strange about it?"

Qing Yi took it and looked at it curiously. On the thick and smooth leg bone of the giant rhinoceros, there was a simple rune formation carved, and a crystal stone the size of a soybean was inlaid in the core.

It looked ordinary and there was nothing special about it. It could only be considered a barely mid-grade crystal. He had no idea why Daniu and Mu Yi were so excited.

"Master, this is just one of them. Mu Yi, take out the bag quickly!" However, Da Niu mysteriously poured the animal skin bag that Mu Yi handed over onto the table.

"Wow--"

Hundreds of crystal stones were glowing and attracting attention. It was a huge fortune for both Xing State and the other countries in Zhongzhou, but everyone present was still a little puzzled.

Fu Shou even asked curiously, "Daniu, there are indeed a lot of crystal stones. They were all pried off from the giant beast puppet, right? But you don't have to be so surprised, right?"

Qing Yi stared at the pile of crystals, then suddenly looked up at everyone and said, "I understand what Daniel meant. The texture, color, and aura of these crystals all show that they come from the same place of origin."

Gongsun Wu also reacted, and said in surprise and joy: "My Lord, you mean that there is a crystal mine in the lair of the Ghost Witch Tribe?"
