The Emperor is Above

Chapter 565: Fighting with tree spirits? Are you kidding me?
"Crash-"

Large tracts of trees in the mountains suddenly came alive and turned into a terrifying army of tree spirits.

Even the knowledgeable King Xianyu was shocked when he saw this scene. He was really surprised.

The soldiers around King Xianyu were even more panicked. They didn't expect that setting fire to the mountain would lead to this outcome.

"Flying Bear Army, Giant Clan, follow me to block the rear. Everyone else, quickly retreat along the way you came and get out of the valley as soon as possible!"

King Xianyu shouted orders loudly, but apart from the voices of the Flying Bear Army, he did not hear any response from the giant warriors.

When he turned his head to look, his nose was almost crooked with anger. He didn't expect that the eight hundred powerful giant warriors would just run away without saying hello, leaving only a cloud of dust behind them.

The giant warriors were obviously not stupid. There were tens of thousands of tree spirits, including some of the first and second rank ones. Fighting against these tree spirits? Are you kidding?
"What should we do, my king? There are tens of thousands of dryads. Let's run away!"

Faced with the persuasion of the leader of the Feixiong Army, King Xianyu felt extremely powerless and indeed could not win.

Even the giant warrior, who always liked to fight head-on and gave people the impression of a tough guy, turned around and fled in front of the army of tree spirits, and King Xianyu did not dare to be a hero.

Under the protection of hundreds of Feixiong soldiers, King Xianyu had no choice but to flee for his life. He could only be thankful that he had withdrawn his main force thirty miles in advance, with a maximum loss of about ten thousand people.

King Xian Yu's mount was a fourth-grade Ye horse. When it galloped at a great speed, purple flames appeared from its four hooves. It ran at a height of three feet above the ground, and its speed was very fast.

As part of King Xianyu's personal guard, the Flying Bear Army rode on fifth-grade Crescent Bears and closely guarded King Xianyu. From time to time, some of them turned back to look at the pursuing army of tree spirits.

Fortunately, most of the valleys in the north of the border fortress were only a mile wide and could not accommodate too many tree spirits. Gradually, the army of tree spirits was left behind. Unfortunately, the 20,000 elite soldiers of Xianyu might not be able to come back.

After running for more than thirty miles, when they saw the figures of eight hundred giant warriors, they also caught up with the retreating Xianyu army.

Before King Xian Yu could issue an urgent order to speed up the advance, the Blood Cavalry who were exploring the way brought new bad news: My king, it’s bad, there are powerful enemies blocking the road ahead, and the army cannot move forward.

"A few miles ahead, we will be out of the valley and into the territory of Xianyu. How could there be a strong enemy?" King Xianyu was stunned, and then he said with anger in his eyes.
"First, the dragon bird attacked, and then the wild people of Yunling supported the border town fortress, and then ambushed the army of tree spirits. Could it be that now Shi Ling and Qinghua are personally blocking the way?
As spirits, they never interfered in human wars in the past, but now they have not only completely sided with the Xing Kingdom, but are also working so hard for it. Let's go to the front and take a look."

The angry King Xianyu came to the front and saw countless stones neatly arranged into square formations a hundred feet away, blocking the way of Xianyu's army.

"So many stone spirits!"

The Blood Cavalry leader was extremely surprised and said, "I didn't expect that after Shi Ling had occupied Yunling for more than 300 years, he actually had such a powerful lineup."

The stone spirit army has different sizes, shapes and colors, but the common point is that they all have hands, feet and facial features.

"Humph, when we passed by this area a few days ago, we found a lot of rocks on both sides. It seems that they were lying in ambush at that time."

King Xian Yu observed the enemy situation with a gloomy face and found that the eight hundred giant warriors chose a position to defend on their own and had no intention of breaking through the stone spirit formation.

"Optimus Prime!"

Seeing this, King Xianyu became more and more annoyed and asked loudly, "The Giants formed an alliance with my Xianyu tribe and went south, but you are so disappointing. A few days ago, when you attacked the border fortress, my tribe suffered heavy losses, but you reserved your strength, which ultimately led to our failure in the siege.

Right now, our army of more than 100,000 is about to evacuate this valley. You clearly know that there are tens of thousands of tree spirits chasing us from behind, so why don't you forcefully defeat the stone spirits' army formation?"

The more King Xianyu spoke, the angrier he became: "When we went south, the Qingtian clan divided their forces, and you had six first-grade grandmasters under your command.

With the combined strength of eight hundred giant warriors, how can these weak stone spirits be your opponents? Why do you insist on staying here?"

The total number of giants that moved south from the Northern Wilderness was not large, only three or four thousand, and they had always been classified as alien races from the wilderness.

However, since the emergence of a tribe of giants called the Qingtian clan, these scattered small giant tribes were integrated, and with their overall powerful strength, they could barely be considered a force.

The eight hundred giant warriors who followed King Xian Yu south may not seem to be numerous, but their high-end combat power is extremely strong. If it were a few days ago, King Xian Yu would definitely not have been so angry, but now he really couldn't help it.

"Ugh--"

The giant leader of the Qingtian clan was at the head, with a body that was five meters tall, almost six times taller than King Xianyu.

Facing the angry questioning from King Xian Yu, he did not get angry at all, but looked embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he answered in a loud voice.
"Lord Mo Yan, haven't you figured it out yet? How could Yunling Shiling and Qinghua, two first-grade stone spirits and tree monsters, have such powerful strength?
There are at least a dozen first-grade tree spirits in the army, and there are also many first-grade stone spirits. Yunling alone could never have such a powerful force."

"Do you think that Shi Ling and Qing Hua have joined forces with spirits from other mountains to join the battle?"

King Xianyu was even more surprised and suspicious when he heard the news, "These monsters have never been heard of in the past thousands of years involving wars involving humans, why are they appearing now?
However, it is precisely because so many stone elves and tree elves have joined the war that we must unite to defeat the powerful enemies blocking our way, otherwise, won’t we be attacked from all sides?
You, the Giants of the Qingtian clan, have six first-grade grandmasters, and I, too, have three first-grade grandmasters on our side, including myself, which makes nine first-grade masters.

Before the army of tree spirits catches up with us, I don't believe that these stone spirits alone can stop us. Once we escape this valley, we will join the Yuezhi people and your people."

"Alas—I'm afraid it's too late!"

The tall leader of the Titans smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"According to the custom of the spirits, with so many powerful tree spirits and stone spirits joining the battlefield, there must be shapeshifting spirits guarding nearby.

All the spirits who have transformed have strength no less than that of the Saint Realm. With so many powerful enemies nearby, there is no way we can escape."

"There are also shapeshifting spirits in the holy realm?"

King Xianyu was shocked, and then said unwillingly, "Since they haven't appeared yet, maybe they haven't arrived at the battlefield yet. We still have a chance."

Seeing that the giant warriors were not moved at all, King Xian Yu became even more angry and said, "Since you are willing to wait for death here, let us fight our way out ourselves."

As King Xianyu strode towards the stone spirit army, two men in black robes appeared from nowhere, following him like King Xianyu's shadow.

If the Grand Master Xianyu was here, he would definitely be shocked. In the past, even he didn't know that there was such a strong man following King Xianyu.

When King Xian Yu and two other first-rank warriors were preparing to take action, twelve crystal clear stone spirits flashed out from the stone spirit army formation, led by Shi Ling.
