Immortal Road.

Chapter 765: Dilemma, the situation is hopeless

In the firelight, Lin Shan stood in front of the hall and refused to give an inch in front of the monsters!

"The entire front is in danger now. If we open the gate for you, the enemy will take the opportunity to attack and follow in. Wouldn't the king's foundation be handed over to others?"

"Since I have been ordered to take charge of the overall situation, I must be careful and cautious and make no mistakes!"

"Since the general has come to the king's defense, why not assist him by attacking the enemy's flank? I can also send troops to support him, or even attack from both sides. What do you think?"

The generals of the Yuanlu Demon King who were attacking outside the formation looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
Good man, you guys are discussing the internal and external attacks without caring about anything. Do you really think we are fools?

General Qingniu roared and led his troops to the sky to meet General Xiong.

"Xiong Er, stop being so arrogant, I'm here to meet you!"

"???"

General Bear was confused. When did it become so rampant? It was clearly talking to its own family.

The two armies are about to collide!
Qingniu and General Xiong were old rivals, and they soon came to terms with each other. Now that they were both in the Nascent Soul stage, their momentum was simply earth-shaking!
The army below also collided with each other, opening up a second battlefield.

To be honest, when Lin Shan saw this scene in the hall, he was also stunned!
Is it
General Xiong has no ulterior motives and has really come here to serve the king?

If it was colluding with foreign enemies, why would Qingniu come to stop it? Should he have turned a blind eye?

"No, stupid cow, what are you crazy about?"

General Bear in the sky was furious, secretly annoyed that this monster was so stubborn that it tried to stop him.

Qingniu didn't even bother chatting with it, he just grabbed it and started swinging it wildly, and he started to fight with real anger!

A full 30% of the army below was deployed to encircle and suppress the reinforcements.

General Xiong's subordinates are indeed full of talented people!
They were surprisingly evenly matched and seemed to be not at a disadvantage. They roared and howled in the dark and raised fire to fight against each other.

Especially the elite 'Flying Bear Army', who chiseled back and forth in the enemy camp, going in and out seven times, killing people in the enemy camp and making all the other troops terrified!
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan and Brother Ji couldn't help but secretly shrink their heads.

Oh my goodness, General Xiong has guards like these, they are no worse than the Flying Tigers!
Even if one is at the Nascent Soul stage, there is no way to penetrate the formation in the middle of a large army so easily, but it is so easy for the Feixiong Army!
However, there were too many reinforcements in the camp of the Yuanlu Demon King. In the darkness of the night, reinforcements continued to arrive from the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Land and Hongya Cave, holding flames and entering the battlefield.

The balance of power between the two sides gradually became clear. Although General Xiong's troops were powerful, they were outnumbered and were forced to retreat, losing ground.

"Military Advisor Lin, quickly open the gate and let my men in!"

General Bear in the sky saw that the situation below was not good, and he couldn't help but call out loudly again.

Many demon soldiers and generals led by Kuisang also saw this scene. Unable to bear to see their comrades fall into danger, they all turned back to look at Lin Shan in the demon palace on the top of the mountain.

"Oh no, a self-torture trick!"

Lin Shan's heart was shocked, thinking that something was wrong.

He knew all of this clearly, but that didn't mean the demon soldiers and generals under the Demon King Kuihu could do the same.

After all, General Xiong's majesty has existed for thousands of years. He has been following the Demon King Kuihu almost since he rose to power. He is an important pillar of his left and right arms!

He had just returned to serve the king, but Lin Shan refused to accept him.

Now they had been fighting with the enemy army for a long time, and seeing that they were gradually losing strength due to encirclement and suppression, he still did not help them, which immediately caused resentment among his subordinates.

Lin Fan and Brother Ji noticed the commotion on the front line and couldn't help but become nervous. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly and the most feared thing was a mutiny in the army!

Even some cave masters who once had a good relationship with General Xiong were planning to open the formation to provide support!
"Everyone listen up, you are not allowed to start the battle formation. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as Lin Shan's gloomy voice fell, there was a disturbance in the formation below. The cave master was trying to open the formation and call for the friendly forces outside to come in quickly.

"Hey~"

"Bang!!!"

Before it could even move completely, it was hit by an arrow and exploded to pieces!
Lin Shan on the top of the mountain put down the Xuantai Bow of Silence and looked at the monsters coldly without saying a word. The atmosphere froze instantly.

The generals were angry but dared not say anything. They all lowered their heads and did not look at him.

After all, this kid is a popular figure at the moment, and the Kuihu Demon King has given him the right to kill first and report later. If they are killed, they will have no place to cry!

General Xiong's army outside had been surrounded on three sides, with no way to retreat against the large formation. They could only fight desperately, watching helplessly as they were pressed forward and their living space was constantly squeezed.

There was a roar from the sky, and the roar was deafening!
"What do you mean, Mr. Lin? I have come all the way here to support the king. Why don't you respond and instead stand by and watch, putting my army to death?"

Lin Shan didn't even look up at the sky.

He has a heart of stone and is as calm as a rock. He is not moved by words at all.

Since you have accepted the trust of the Kuihu Demon King, you must not let down the rights given to you. You must remain calm and composed and not lose your judgment!

He has always felt that something is wrong with General Xiong. This premonition is so mysterious that it is not a personal grudge but an intuition!

He knew that he couldn't open this hole. Once it was opened, he would be in an irretrievable situation.

The battle outside was still going on, and the opposing camp launched round after round of fierce attacks. The troops of the Kuihu Demon King who were hiding in the formation were fine, but General Xiong's troops who were blocked outside the formation suffered!
In an instant there was a heavy loss, it was a massacre visible to the naked eye, and the monsters on the front line felt their blood boil and were filled with anger.

General Bear in the sky was still roaring, urging Lin Shan to open the formation.

Lin Fan and Brother Ji were working hard to guard down there, but they knew that Lin Shan on the top of the mountain was in a difficult situation and was facing a strong pressure to abdicate.

If they can’t stand the pressure, give up their current position and are forced to compromise, what they may face is a total collapse!
All generals in human kingdoms know that they cannot open the city gates when the enemy is attacking, because the defeated soldiers will break through their own lines and bring in the enemy.

But most of the monsters didn't understand this. They just thought that Lin Shan, the human, had ulterior motives and wanted to specifically kill General Bear's elite troops.

General Xiong outside was even more furious, and scolded him for being a traitor, collaborating with the enemy, framing loyal officials, and having evil ambitions!

"Mr. Lin, quickly start the battle formation, don't make mistakes!"

It howled in the sky, and the army below also roared madly. For a moment, the scene was extremely tragic and even a little desolate.

The army of the Yuanlu Demon King is still attacking continuously, killing people so that rivers of blood are flowing, and winning victory after victory.

Just when the defenders were filled with indignation and the atmosphere reached its peak.

General Xiong finally let go completely and decided to go for broke!

"Okay, okay, it's you who are unkind and unjust and have forced me into a desperate situation, so don't blame me for being heartless!" "My men, you are all loyal and brave soldiers, how can you die unjustly?"

"Since I've been harmed by a traitor today, I might as well rebel!"

"The royal court is in chaos, treacherous ministers are in power, I never thought that I would be forced to surrender to the enemy one day, it was all because of you!!!"

Following its order, they openly defected on the spot!

All the monsters were stunned and at a loss.

Lin Fan and Brother Ji sneered in their hearts, but they couldn't help but sigh that it was a vicious plan.

General Xiong is not as stupid as imagined. Instead, he is very smart!
This is an aboveboard conspiracy, one can betray openly without being criticized, and it even sets an example of loyalty among the monster clan!

It is a pillar of the country, who came to the king's aid when the royal court was in trouble, but was blocked outside the battle formation by treacherous ministers and could not enter. Seeing that the army that had followed him through thick and thin was in imminent danger, it was forced to bear the humiliation and surrender to its long-time enemy!

The demons in the camp of Demon King Kuihu will not only not blame it, but will understand it. If anyone is to be blamed, it should be Lin Shan, the human who forced away the loyal ministers!
Qingniu had no idea what he was secretly communicating with General Xiong at this time, but he immediately stopped and ordered the army to stop the encirclement and suppression, and instead the entire army returned together to break the formation.

General Xiong roared:
"My men, follow me into the battle formation, capture the traitor who harmed us, peel off his skin and pull out his tendons, and make him completely disappear from our demon tribe!"

"Haha~~~"

There are many people responding below!
The two tribes that had just been killing each other now turned their spearheads and attacked Kuisang Ridge at the same time.

Meanwhile, the army of the demon king Kuihu was inexplicably demoralized and suffered a serious setback.

Obviously, they had reinforcements and saw hope and dawn of a turnaround, but they were forced to the opposite side by their own people and became accomplices in attacking themselves!
All the monsters were filled with resentment and were extremely dissatisfied with Lin Shan.

Only Lin Fan and Brother Ji understood that this was a trap set by the other party from the beginning.

It would be wrong for Lin Shan to open the formation, and it would be wrong if he didn't. If he opened the formation, someone would take advantage of the situation, and if he didn't open the formation, he would be targeted by all the monsters!
At this moment, the situation suddenly became extremely bad.

Because of General Xiong's betrayal, the pressure on the front line increased dramatically. All the formations and defense facilities at the foot of the mountain were broken and destroyed one after another.

The defenders retreated again and again, losing their positions one after another, and they couldn't stop the attack!
Lin Shan's face was calm, as if he had already guessed the ending.

He did not argue or clarify, but just performed his duties conscientiously and commanded the Flying Tigers to put out the fire. However, General Xiong outside the formation was obviously watching closely.

Wherever the Flying Tiger Army goes, the Flying Bear Army will go too!
The two are evenly matched and are used as exchange pieces to entangle each other.

Among them, Lin Fan and Brother Ji also tried to show their prowess and wanted to turn the tide and severely damage the opponent, but they were severely taught a lesson by several large armies that rushed over with military spirit!
Later on, they became obedient and realized their own strengths and weaknesses. They were nothing compared to the military souls that were comparable to the Nascent Soul stage.

Later in the battle, General Xiong and Qingniu also joined the attack.

General Xiong even started the surrender mode while fighting in order to undermine the morale of the defenders, which had a huge impact.

It actually caused several mutinies!
However, they were fiercely suppressed by Lin Shan, and none of the demon generals who led the rebellion could withstand his arrows!

"This is what happens to those who dare to rebel."

Some demon generals and cave masters had once drunk and chatted happily with him in his tent, but now that they were not firm in their stance, they would no longer care about feelings.

The monsters below were in a state of panic and dejection. With an irresistible enemy in front of them and a military supervisor who was killed in battle behind them, their fighting spirit was almost collapsing.

Only the confidants of the Demon King Kuihu and the Flying Tiger Army were still loyal, obeying Lin Shan's command meticulously and doing their best to guard the royal court.

But then, there was a dazzling light flashing in the sky, and a clear and pleasant roar!

I saw frost spreading all over the sky, as if it had sealed off the entire sky. The sound of countless gravels colliding and shaking seemed like a rolling river of sand coming from the distant sky.

On the other side, yellow and silver flashed alternately, and the sound of sword chants was like fairies from the sky, surging and mighty, with split light and phantoms, also illuminating half the sky!
This is the magic treasure of the Kuihu Demon King and the sword formation of the Yuanlu Demon King!

Both overlords took out their last resort, hoping to completely determine the winner before cleaning up the mess.

When the army of the Yuanlu Demon King camp saw this scene, they were all inexplicably excited. They rushed forward, eager to make achievements, and longed to be seen by the king in the sky.

The reinforcements from the Star-Devouring Mountains outside also realized that the real decisive battle had begun. As long as this battle ended perfectly, they could finally return home.

This is the last battle, so we must go all out!

The defenders were also aroused, and seeing that the demon king Kuihu in the sky was still holding on, they also mustered the courage to fight to the death, and their morale was barely restored.

The battle lasted until dawn.

The positions were lost again and again, and the defenders retreated again and again. In the end, only the top of the mountain was left. Even Lin Fan and Brother Ji felt that they had reached the end of their road.

It was obvious that when they first came here, the Kuihu Demon King was still the overlord of the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land, with strong troops under his command and a vast territory under his rule.

The foundation is deep and the regime is stable.

How could it suddenly become like this in such a short period of time, falling apart, losing territory, and on the verge of destruction!

This is too fast, so fast that it seems unreal, even a bit dreamy.

The person who was most deeply touched was probably General Bear outside.

Being second only to the last demon and above all the other demons, it witnessed the reign of the Demon King Kuihu with its own eyes, participated in his farewell carnival in person, and even played an indispensable role in its overthrow.

No power lasts forever. The rise and fall of things is the law of nature. Feng Shui changes over time, and it will be my turn next year.

It has now been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and also has a huge clan and power left by its innate ancestors. Why can't it become the Demon King?

Amid cheers, we greeted the rising dawn.

The last mountain protection formation of the royal court was finally broken through by the torrent of countless troops!
This indicates that the hegemony of the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land will be completely lost in this battle and will usher in a new master!
Many demon generals began to plunder greedily, rushing into everything they could see to snatch valuables.

Especially the Demon King’s treasury, that is the huge wealth accumulated over the years under the rule of the Demon King Kuihu, it is absolutely rich!
They were numerous and powerful, and soon the locusts passed through the area and swept all the way to the warehouse hidden deep inside.

It is dark here without sunlight, and the winding corridors are quietly gnawing at the years. Many treasures have been deposited in the long river of history, lying quietly in an empty corner.

When a large number of greedy invaders broke in, they found that in front of the treasury gate, there was an old man with waist-length white hair, white eyebrows hanging to the ground, wrinkles all over his body, and the height of a boy sitting cross-legged.

He slowly opened his eyes, raised his head, and his turbid gaze penetrated the mountain, as if he saw the scene outside.

I couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Then he stood up and staggered out.
