Chapter 118: Strangulation

  Li Xie originally wanted to rush over and destroy the airship's gasbag, but suddenly saw a large net pounce over, and for a moment dodged and weaved, being wrapped in it. The iron balls connected to the iron net immediately entwined, the entire iron net continuously shrinking, tightly wrapping Li Xie's whole body. The force shot out by the iron net also brought Li Xie flying backward, plummeting downward!

  "Ah..."

  Li Xie's entire body was entwined by iron nets, unable to move, and as the iron net fell from mid-air, it smashed into the forest below.

  The commander of the Big Eye Legion, with a sarcastic smile on his face, said: "What an idiot! If you continue to escape, you can enter the airspace of the Sunflower Empire, and we will not be able to pursue you anymore. What a pity! Order everyone to find him back, dead or alive!"

  Although the commander of the Size Eye Army wanted to capture Li Xie alive, this was 500 meters high in the air, and after being entangled by the sky net and falling down, whether he could survive or not was an unknown number.

  Three Kirov airships slowly descended onto the ground, and hundreds of people scattered into the forest, heading towards where Li Xie had fallen.

  The commander of the Big Eye Army stood up, with a triumphant smile on his face.

  Chrysanthemum City South Gate.

  Kano rode a white Thunder Horse, rushing quickly to the city gate. Before he arrived, he had already shouted loudly: "Quickly! Inform the commander of the Rothschild Army! Something's happened! Sound the alarm bell! Nine tolls! Hurry!"

  The soldiers on the city wall who were responsible for keeping watch recognized Kano and hastily pulled the large bronze bell hanging in the tower of the north gate, and the sound of the bell rang out several miles away.

  The four city gates of Chrysanthemum City are all equipped with a large bronze bell, which can be rung to sound the alarm as soon as enemy troops or any situation is discovered outside the gate.

  The bell is divided into 1, 3, 6 and 9 levels. Nine rings are the most urgent situation. Whichever city gate the copper bell rings nine times means that the evil army must go to which door immediately, and all the commands of the evil army must follow suit.

  Kano heard the alarm bell ringing, so he didn't continue to rush into the south gate. Instead, he stopped and let out a mouthful of blood that had been stuck in his throat. His pupils gradually dispersed.

  Although he ran to Chrysanthemum City, he actually suffered extremely severe injuries.

  Thrown from a height of several hundred meters by Li Xie, the non-flying Kano was just in free fall. Although he landed in the mountains and forests, where trees cushioned his descent, Kano still crashed with more than half of his bones shattered. Afterwards, he held his breath and let the seventh-order Thunderbolt Warhorse leave his body, then rushed to Chrysanthemum City to report the news without stopping.

  It's just a belief, supporting him until now, a belief in saving Li Xie!

  Now at the south gate of Chrysanthemum City, Kano's breath eased a bit, but his injuries were erupting.

  Kano felt dizzy and saw things vaguely, as if the whole world was spinning.

  He weakly fell onto the horse's back, with only one thought left in his mind!

  I won't die! I still can't die! The adults are waiting for me to rescue them! I absolutely cannot die!

  "Kano! Kano!" Jack had arrived outside the south gate, seeing Kano faint on horseback, he knew something big was wrong and hastily shouted: "What's going on? Wake up! Kano!"

  Apart from Jack, Vandy Zeal also arrived at the South Gate, and to the west as well as inside the city, the sound of galloping horses could still be heard, which was the dark army rushing towards the South Gate.

  Kano, who had already fainted, seemed to hear someone shouting and slowly came to, dazedly seeing Jack and weakly saying: "The...the master has encountered trouble on the road, hurry..."

  "How are you, sir? Where is it? Don't faint! Is he in a fit? How many men? Wake up! Wake up!" Jack shouted, but Carnot did not wake up, he seemed to have used up his last breath.

  So Jack couldn't help it either, and hastily said: "Quick! Send the deputy commander for treatment! Tell Xiao An, no matter what method is used, to save the deputy commander's life!"

  "Yes!"

  A team of guards at the city gate hastily helped Kano into the city, but Jack didn't follow, standing outside the south gate with a gloomy face.

  Vandy's eyes gleamed with cold light as he said in a chilly tone, "No matter who is unfavorable to the adults, I, Vandy, will not let him off! Jack, what are you still dazing about? Let's go!"

  "Wait!"

  "What are you waiting for!"

  "Calm down! Do you think I'm not anxious? The lord has a thousand elite guards, ten high-ranking masters like Zein, and seven summoners like Cano. Now only Cano is back with severe injuries to report, do you think the enemy has fewer people or is weaker? We two going there like this won't just fail to save the lord, but also cause trouble! Calm down for me!"

  Jack finished speaking, his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes closed, and his eyebrows locked in a frown, he was anxious!

  It's all right, Li Xie has been sparing no effort to equip his evil army, and he managed to get 4,000 high-level demon beasts, not to mention ordinary war horses which everyone has!

  The bronze bell rang nine times. The 100,000-strong demonic army all rode horses and rushed over. From the barracks ten miles away, it would take no more than ten minutes to reach the south gate.

  Under Jack's governance, the evil army was strictly disciplined, acting swiftly and neatly. Upon arriving at the south gate, they formed five square arrays with the Evil One Army to the Evil Five Army, awaiting orders.

  "Second Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, Fifth Army commanders, attention!" Jack ordered immediately.

  The commanders of the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Armies stepped forward, responding loudly: "Your subordinate awaits orders!"

  "Each battalion sends a team of ten to scout out the situation outside the city gate for 100 miles, while the rest enter the city. The Fifth Army guards the west gate, the Fourth Army guards the north gate, and the Second and Third Armies strictly guard the east gate! If enemy tracks are found, send someone to report southward! The rest of the people defend to the death without attacking!"

  "I will obey your orders!"

  "Mount up, cavalry! Follow me at full speed!"

  Twenty thousand cavalrymen galloped wildly under Jack's leadership, and for a time, the yellow sand filled the sky, and the sound of horseshoes shook the heavens.

  Li Xie encountered the ambush site two hundred and forty kilometers away from the south gate of Chrysanthemum City. The horses on the mainland of the gods were galloping at full speed, with an average speed of one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour. Jack led the Evil One Army to gallop for an hour, but a giant dragon flew low in the air towards them.

  The giant dragon was covered in scars and wounds, flapping its wings fiercely, but unable to fly high. Its left wing had several holes pierced through it.

  Behind the giant dragon, countless soldiers and horses were chasing and killing, while in the sky, four Kirov airships were closely pursuing it.

  The giant dragon's entire body is golden, but it has black stripes all over its body. The golden giant dragon on the mainland of gods, only the dragon royal family owns it, and the black stripes are a famous giant dragon on the mainland of gods.

  "Behold, Zeanithnard the Great Dragon!" Jack saw the dragon from afar and immediately recognized it as Zeanithnard, the great dragon known as the "Godslayer" of the Continent of the Gods!

  And Jack also saw at the same time Zayn's cavalry pursuing from behind and Kirov airships in the sky.

  Jack waved his hand to signal the army to stop advancing, he was still unclear whether the troops ahead were ambushes of Li Xie's troops. After all, there is a possibility that some forces will gather a large number of troops to intercept and kill the giant dragon Zaynarde, because killing the giant dragon Zaynarde can reward the dragon clan.

  Zane saw Jack's horse from the sky, let out a loud cry, and then rapidly swooped down, his body shape constantly shrinking, just a few seconds later, he had transformed into human form, falling diagonally towards Jack.

  Jack and Vandy Zeal saw the man, both pupils shrinking: "Zane!"

  Van Diel suddenly rushed towards Zeinard, and Jack waved his hand: "Kill! Kill all the soldiers in front of me! Not one left!"

  Since the giant dragon Zainnarde is Zain, then the pursuing troops of 10,000 in front are not the force that intercepted the giant dragon, but actually the ambush troops for Li Xie!

  What more need be said?

  Kill!

  "Kill!"

  Jack ran at the forefront, with Thunderbolt Blue Light jumping under his crotch. The Golden Winged War Chicken was released from Jack's magical pet space and charged straight into the sky, its target being Kirov's airship in the sky!

  Vandy Seel took over Zainnart, seeing that he was only slightly injured and exhausted from the fight, and not seriously ill. He put him on the ground and immediately charged forward against the enemy army.

  "Kill!"

  Twenty thousand evil troops shouted and killed, shaking the sky.

  The two armies clashed, with morale being the most crucial factor. As the saying goes, "When two sides meet on a narrow road, the bravest will win!" The rebel army, still seething with anger over Li's ambush, was eager to kill and their morale was high. However, when they were suddenly confronted by twice as many enemy soldiers charging at them, they became frightened and hesitant, refusing to engage in direct combat. Without clear orders from their commanders, the soldiers panicked and fled in disarray.

  They can only escape!

  No one is in command, these frightened soldiers, how can they form a battle array? How can they launch an arrow formation attack? In fact, some of them also shouted to stabilize the military heart, but their voices were completely covered up!

  "Kill! Not one will be left!"

  Jack's voice was like thunder in the sky, shaking all directions!

  He charged into the enemy's formation, a three-meter-long black iron spear in hand. As he thrust and swept, the spearhead shone with golden light, leaving a trail of severed bodies wherever he passed! The terrified enemy troops were unable to withstand even one blow from him! His horse, Thunderbolt, emitted bursts of electric light as it galloped, its hooves seeming to extend blue sparks in all directions. Any enemy soldier who came into contact with these blue electrical currents was instantly electrocuted and reduced to a charred crisp!

  "Kill!"

  Vandy Sel suddenly sprinted forward, his entire body shining with golden light. Wherever his fists and feet struck, not a single soldier remained intact. The destructive power of the 10th-level Sword Saint was something these soldiers couldn't match.

  "Kill!"

  Twenty thousand evil soldiers surged into the enemy's formation like a tidal wave, war horses trampling, battle knives chopping, this was a one-sided slaughter.

  If the troops chasing Zernard could calm down and launch a surprise attack with bows and arrows at the first opportunity, it might be a tough battle.

  But the army that had been frightened out of their wits could hardly put up any resistance in the face of the 20,000-strong demonic army with a murderous intent like a raging tide.

  The massacre didn't last long. The number of people in the evil army was originally twice that of the other side, and it was a one-sided pursuit and killing. Soon, the enemy on the ground was slaughtered to extinction.

  And in the sky, under the attack of the 9th rank Golden Winged War Chicken and later joined by Vandy Sel, those four Kirov airships equipped with only harpoon ballistae were quickly broken, and on them there were only ordinary soldiers, falling from a height of several hundred meters, it was a dead end.

  "Kill! Don't let any of them escape! Everyone scatter, for every corpse, stab one more time, for anyone still alive, chase and kill until death!" Jack rode on horseback, waving his long spear, issuing orders.

  In the distance, Zaynarde saw that the ten thousand soldiers who had been chasing him and making his life miserable were almost annihilated in just half an hour. He felt a mix of emotions in his heart. Seeing Jack, who was weaker than him, charging into the enemy army without being stopped by anyone, made him wonder if he was too weak after all?

  Of course, this was all Zain's overthinking. His strength was strong, but in the eyes of those 10,000 enemy troops, he was just prey. They were high-spirited and actively used various methods to hunt him down. Now, the roles of those 10,000 enemy troops had changed. They were frightened out of their wits. In front of Yiyi's army, they were just prey. All that prey could do was flee or be killed!

  Jack rode his horse to Zean's front, he didn't have time to think about how the familiar Zean could be the giant dragon Zeanard, what he cared more was Li Xie's safety!

  "Where's the adult?"

  "He fled westward at dawn!"

  "Are you okay?"

  "It's okay, go chase after him!"

  "Rally!" Jack shouted at once, and all the troops immediately gathered quickly. Jack waved his long gun: "Everyone go west! Vandy, you take Zain! Zain, you lead the way!"

  The army was just about to set off, in the direction of the chrysanthemum city in the north. Two fast horses rushed over at high speed, and one person on horseback shouted from a distance: "Report! Report to the commander-in-chief, a large number of enemy troops have been found at the east gate of Chrysanthemum City!"
