God of Pets

Chapter 774 A great victory
"Imperial Preceptor, we are now attacked from both sides. What should we do?" Huangfu Yan asked from the side.

He was the commander of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom army, responsible for assisting Chen Guan in commanding the troops.

His question was also the question those scions of noble families wanted to ask. They were now caught in the middle, and their retreat had been cut off by Ziyang Army from Zidong. This time, their chances of survival were slim.

No one expected that the Heavenly Court Army would be able to bring over Zi Donglai and the Ziyang Legion, who were completely unrelated people.

"So what if Zi Donglai? So what if the Ziyang Legion? Let's just kill them all!" Duan Shulin wanted to boost morale.

“Zi Donglai…I’m here to kill…” Jiang Qiemo drew his sword and was about to fly into the sky.

Chen Guan quickly pressed him down and said to the crowd, "What are you talking about? The City Lord of Zicheng and the Ziyang Legion are reinforcements I invited. Why are you attacking them? Do you want your own people to fight each other?"

Everyone was stunned by Chen Guan's words.

They looked at Chen Guan in disbelief, then at the Ziyang Corps and Zi Donglai behind them, feeling as if their brains were a little overwhelmed.

"What the heck? One of our own?" Jiang Qiemo and Duan Shulin looked at Chen Guan in surprise.

They clearly heard Bo Yugu say that Zi Donglai and the Ziyang Corps were invited by him, so how come it's now said that Chen Guan invited them?
“But just now Bo Yugu seemed to say that Zi Donglai was someone he invited to deal with us, right?” Duan Shulin said with a strange expression.

Chen Guan said calmly, "You should have heard that when people are in extreme despair, they will have some fantasies, imagining their enemies as friends, their bullies as protectors, and their father's killer as their father."

"You mean to say that Bo Tiangu was severely frightened, which is why he fantasized that Zi Donglai and the Ziyang Legion were invited by him?" Duan Shulin asked, his eyes wide, refusing to believe such a thing.

“That’s right.” Chen Guan nodded seriously.

"Is that so?" Duan Shulin still couldn't believe it.

Not only did he not believe it, but even the scions of those aristocratic families didn't believe it.

Bo Yugu was a man of some stature; how could he possibly do something so insane?

"Chen Guan, surrender now and beg the judge for mercy. There is still a way out. Otherwise, today is your death day, and the day the Southern Heaven Kingdom will be destroyed." Bo Yugu shouted, trying to persuade him to surrender without a fight.

"How do you intend to kill me?" Chen Guan asked directly.

“With the Lord of Zi City here, what difficulty would it be to kill you?” Bo Yu said in the ancient way.

“It’s not difficult, but it’s a pity that Lord Zicheng is my reinforcement. Why would he want to kill me? He should be killing you instead,” Chen Guan said calmly.

"Chen Guan, are you crazy? I invited Lord Zicheng. What does it have to do with you?" Bo Tiangu frowned.

"You invited him, so if you call out to him, will he answer?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"I'd do more than just agree; I'd even kill you." Seeing Chen Guan's demeanor, Bo Yugu felt a growing unease. But things had come to this point; if anything went wrong, the Heavenly Court army would collapse, and morale would be beyond repair. He could only grit his teeth and shout, "Lord Zicheng...please help me slay the traitor..."

The entire battlefield was eerily quiet, almost deathly silent, as everyone awaited the outcome of Bo Yugu's announcement.

Time passed second by second, but there was still no sound from Zi Donglai, nor was there any movement from the Ziyang Corps.

The soldiers and officers of Zi Donglai and Ziyang Legion stood there motionless on their mounts, their formation as neat as a chessboard.

"Lord Zicheng...please help me slay the traitor..." Bo Yugu called out again, his voice trembling.

He had realized that something was wrong, but there was no way out, and he still held onto that last sliver of hope.

But his hope could not become a reality; the Ziyang Legion remained motionless. Deathly silence reigned over the entire battlefield.

The expressions of the many soldiers and generals of the Southern Heaven Kingdom revealed a dramatic change.

From the initial shock and confusion to the current elation and relief.

Those scions of prominent families, who had just looked solemn and uneasy, now relaxed, their lips curving upwards involuntarily.

Meanwhile, the 24th Army Corps of the Heavenly Court were dumbfounded, their expressions more uncomfortable than if they had swallowed a fly.

"Damn it... Are all the Heavenly Army idiots? They can't even tell who their teammates are..." Duan Shulin's voice broke the silence of the battlefield.

He certainly wasn't foolish enough to believe that Boyugu was truly hallucinating; he was only saying it now to demoralize the Heavenly Army.

"It seems that Lord Zicheng is not your ally. However, you are right about one thing: those who follow the righteous path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little." Chen Guan looked coldly at Bo Yugu without turning his head, and simply said, "Lord Zicheng, please send troops to help me kill the Heavenly Court rebels."

All eyes turned to Zi Donglai in front of the Ziyang Legion. He slowly raised his right arm and pointed it domineeringly towards the Heavenly Army.

"Kill!" The Ziyang Legion erupted in a unified and earth-shattering battle cry.

The next second, the Ziyang Legion charged towards the Heavenly Court Army like a whirlwind.

"All troops... attack..." Chen Guan also gave the order, commanding the allied forces to attack together and head towards the Heavenly Court army.

"utter defeat" is an understatement to describe the Heavenly Army's current state; it's as if a dam has burst, and the water has overflowed in an instant.

When Chen Guan shouted the slogan "surrender and you will not be killed," the war had already ended prematurely.

Wherever the allied forces passed, the Heavenly Army surrendered without hesitation, showing absolutely no desire to fight.

Of the more than one million Heavenly Army soldiers, most were captured, except for a small number who escaped.

This battle was almost the one with the most prisoners of war in human history, with more than 300,000 troops capturing nearly 1.4 million surrendered soldiers.

Riding on his little white dragon, Chen Guan took the lead and caught up with Bo Yugu and Yu Anzhi, who were trying to escape. He then sent them both away with a single sword strike.

Almost without hesitation, Chen Guan first obtained their Anywhere Door and Anywhere Door Key; these were the real magical artifacts.

The news that Zi Donglai and Chen Guan had joined forces to defeat the Heavenly Court army spread throughout the land overnight.

When General Rong Sandao, who was in charge of the Heavenly Army, heard this news, he almost fainted from anger.

"It's over...it's all over...the Heavenly Court Army's largest resource depot is gone..." Rong Sandao didn't know how to explain this to the Chief Justice.

Losing Tianzhu Cave Heaven is tantamount to the Heavenly Army having its backbone broken in half.

Inside the main hall of the ancestral temple, an old man crushed his teacup to pieces, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.

"You broke the backbone of the Heavenly Army, so I'll break your lifeline. You want to seek justice for Ji Nanhong? Then let that justice die."

Centuries of planning and management were shattered almost overnight; this hatred surpasses even the killing of one's son and the dishonor of one's wife.
