Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Xia Liuliu thought Su Li was not simple, but she never expected Su Li to give her such a big surprise.

That very day, Xia Liuliu issued an imperial decree ordering the current reserve army to allocate 500,000 troops to support Su Li, placing everything under Su Li's control.

At the same time, Su Li was appointed as a Supreme General, leading a million troops (publicly claimed to be a million), and had supreme command authority over Qianling Prefecture!

From this point on, Su Li had the right to mobilize all the troops. As long as Su Li wanted, all the troops would obey Su Li's command.

The news of Xuanxiao's defeat spread to the various armies of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom through various channels.

Many people initially did not believe that Xuanxiao had been defeated.

In their view, Xuanxiao has a huge advantage, and his ability to lead troops in battle is recognized by many people!

But it was later confirmed.

This is all true!

Xuanxiao is really dead!

They even boasted that the entire army had been wiped out! Not a single survivor was left!

Outrageous!

Nothing could be more outrageous than this.

Most importantly, Su Li is still alive!

The higher-ups of the Demon Kingdom simply couldn't figure out what method Su Li had used to kill that Qiongqi!

It's important to know that the Qiongqi can only be summoned once, because there's only one medium to summon it.

This is meant to be used as a trump card.

The trump card was used, but the enemy only suffered more than half of their army losses; most importantly, Su Li survived.

At this point, the high-ranking officials of the Demon Kingdom had no choice but to believe it.

That is, Su Li has become the most uncertain factor in this great battle!

They deeply regretted that Su Li hadn't died in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in the first place, but instead had escaped for nothing!

Not long after Su Li began his rest, he led his troops to surround White Island.

......

"waste!"

Inside the tent, Shiroshima overturned everything on the table and sent it flying to the ground.

Shiroshima was extremely displeased!

My own battlefront was going very smoothly!

They were even about to reach the sacred land of Qianling.

As long as we occupy the sacred land of Qianling.

Then Qianlingzhou can basically be taken over.

After taking over Qianlingzhou, I will likely become the prince who makes the fastest progress.

At that time, my status in the Demon Kingdom will rise to another level.

I might be able to find out the location of the Crown Prince of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

It's okay if I don't get the job.

If I conquer Qianlingzhou, then Qianlingzhou will be mine.

Once the world is settled, it wouldn't be impossible for me to use Qianling Continent as a base to contend for the world!

But what I didn't expect was...

The Fiery Roar was actually defeated!

The most serious impact of the defeat was on his own army!

"General, I suggest a strategic retreat. Before reinforcements from the Demon Kingdom arrive, it's best not to continue the offensive and instead focus on defense!"

An advisor suggested this to Baidao.

This strategist's advice resonated with everyone.

As things stand, our battle lines are already stretched very far.

The longer the battle lines are drawn out, the greater the risks become.

Not to mention that the army of Gushen City is currently riding high! Their morale is soaring.

If I continue to venture deeper into the heart of the region, it will be a very bad thing!

It is highly likely that their supply lines will be cut off, and the cities behind them will be captured.

In that case, I'm really going to be surrounded and trapped!

Therefore, the best course of action now is to strategically retreat, withstand Su Li's attack first, and then wait for the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to send an army to deal with Su Li.

Only then will the battlefield reach a balance.

The problem is...

I've gotten myself into this situation.

If we were to strategically retreat, we would lose a significant number of cities.

All the previous efforts will be in vain!

This was something that Shiroshima found very difficult to accept.

Not only did they fail to conquer Qianlingzhou, but so many people died, and they made no progress at all.

Bai Dao had already foreseen his fate; it was virtually impossible for him to reach the position of Crown Prince based solely on his prestige.

A silence fell over the military tent.

Shiroshima sat in the chair at the very front, as if he had lost all his strength.

Finally, Shiroshima let out a heavy sigh and opened his eyes:

"Understood. Order the entire army to retreat to Hangu Pass."

The three cities of Winter Snow City, Lin City, and Gray City were arranged in a triangular defensive formation to completely block the counterattack from Qianling Prefecture!

"Yes!"

All the advisors stood up and bowed.

The mountain that weighed heavily on their hearts was finally put down.

They worried that their general, out of pride, would delay retreating or even launch a reckless attack.

Fortunately, his general did not lose his mind.

But then again.

His general, a veteran of countless battles, would not so easily lose his composure.

......

May of the fourth year of the war between humans and demons.

With Su Li's success on the northwest front of Qianling Holy Land, Baidao had no choice but to retreat, and Qianlingzhou launched a counterattack on this front.

General Ash Stream led 500,000 soldiers in pursuit of White Island, doing his best to tie it down and buy time for Su Li's army in Valley God City to jointly besiege White Island.

However, Shiroshima did not linger in battle and abandoned the city to flee.

On the White Island front, a total of 135 cities were recaptured.

Su Li ordered Chang Ye to lead troops to besiege Han Gu Pass.

Su Li and his troops did not attack rashly, but were looking for an opportunity.

At the same time, Su Li handed over the entire army to Yang Yin and detached half of the troops to carry out guerrilla warfare to support other fronts.

Yang Yin was a middle-aged general with ample experience in attacking cities.

Although Su Li was appointed as the highest-ranking general in Qianling Prefecture.

However, Su Li knew his own limitations; he couldn't possibly outperform the professionals in this kind of strategy.

The most I can do is use my own system to gather intelligence on the other side.

However, using this script system to gather intelligence on the other side isn't actually that accurate.

Because the other party's script appears randomly.

More importantly, the other party is currently staying indoors and refusing to come out, which truly leaves Su Li completely helpless...

The opponent is employing a defensive tactic and will definitely not come out anytime soon.

Su Li felt that there was no point in staying here any longer.

Therefore, Su Li decided to leave for the time being and wait until the final battle was about to begin.

As for the command of the Ten Thousand Swords Army, Su Li handed it over to Zhao Lingxue and Zhuang Mou.

Wan Jianjun also needs to be reinforced with more men.

These people need to be selected from the army, but the Wan Jian Army's selection process is extremely strict, so not many people meet the requirements.

Even so, Su Li still did not intend to lower her standards.

Wan Jianjun is a sharp blade!

The number of casualties will indeed make this sharp knife smaller.

However, Su Li absolutely would not allow Wan Jianjun to become dull!

This sharp knife must always be ready to pierce the enemy's chest at any time, no matter how tough the armor the enemy is wearing!

Su Li arrived at the front line where Qin Sisi was located.

The front line that Qin Sisi was on was indeed very difficult.

The local commander on this front was called Tuxiong.

The opponent believes in the supremacy of brute force, that one force can overcome all methods, and that no matter what kind of scheme it is, they will use their strength to defeat it!

This army is composed of giants, tigers, mountain-moving monkeys, giant gorillas...

They are a tribe that basically relies on brute force.

Is it enough to rely solely on brute force?

No.

Often, brute force cannot solve everything, just as violence cannot represent everything.

But what if brute force is used to its fullest extent?

That's not necessarily true.

When Qin Sisi saw Su Li in Red Bean City, a light flashed in her eyes, and she happily ran towards Su Li.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't save her... On the contrary, it was Senior Huamei who saved me."

Su Li's eyes were filled with guilt in front of Qin Sisi.

"Su Li, I believe that Master will not regret it."

Looking at Su Li, Qin Sisi shook her head and comforted Su Li.

“It wasn’t just my master; if it were me in that situation, I think I would have made the same choice.”

Su Li raised her head and looked into Qin Sisi's eyes.

Su Li knew that Qin Sisi must be very sad right now, but she tried her best to suppress her sadness and not let it show.

After arriving in Red Bean City, Su Li participated in the city's counterattack.

The supreme commander of Red Bean City is a woman, a very old woman.

But her scheme was brilliant!

Su Li felt that it wouldn't matter if she didn't come.

This old lady's layout is very profound.
