Military morale is like a dam. If one section collapses, the flood will burst and destroy the entire dam in an instant.
There are many battles in history where thousands of people defeated tens of thousands of people, and the reason was the collapse of morale.
If the soldiers have no intention of fighting anymore, no matter how good the general's commanding ability is, it will have no effect. If they don't obey the command, there is no use.
At this moment, the morale of surrender spread rapidly among Cang Lei warriors like a plague, and many generals led their troops to surrender.
There were also some who were extremely staunch and determined to resist to the end, and there were also staunch generals who gave orders to kill the surrendering soldiers. The entire Cang Lei army was in chaos and had no fighting capacity.
The ensuing battle became completely one-sided and overwhelming. Many generals who were loyal to Cang Lei sacrificed themselves to show their resolve, and blew themselves up to take away some of the alliance's soldiers.
However, this situation was rare after all. The remaining battle was basically over within three days, with only less than a few hundred thousand Cang Lei soldiers escaping.
In this battle, as many as 12 million Cang Lei soldiers were captured, most of whom surrendered, and a small number were captured after being defeated. More than 17 million Cang Lei soldiers were annihilated.
Even with the strategic deployment of the prehistoric prophets, many people were lost in such a large-scale battle, with two million and three hundred thousand people killed.
This number is based on the fact that each person in the army is equipped with at least two or three drops of the regeneration divine liquid. Without the blessing of the regeneration divine liquid, this number may reach five to six million people.
Although the regenerative divine liquid is powerful, it cannot be recovered from the situation where the soul is wiped out in an instant and no consciousness remains.
Winning a big victory was something that was expected. With the right time, place, and people, and even taking the initiative to plan, Xiang Ergou would probably be depressed if he couldn't win.
After the army won a complete victory, Xiang Chen gave the army two days of rest.
During this period, you should rely on elixirs to replenish your mana, heal your body if your body is broken, or your soul is seriously injured, and at the same time, if the regenerative liquid is used up, it can be replenished.
On the third day, Xiang Chen, Mu Feng, Primordial Tree Ancestor, Primordial Demon Ancestor, Di Xuan'er, East China Sea Dragon Emperor and others led an army of 24 million and began to push back towards Cang Lei Continent!
Under the starry sky of the forbidden land, the generals of the forbidden night, and Xiang Chen's men and horses also stopped their march under the protection of the guardian Tianbao and rested in place.
On a certain star realm in a forbidden place, Gongyang Daowen, the deputy commander under Commander Lei Lin in the Cang Lei Army, had a sad face at the moment.
He was one of the troops who broke out and escaped. At this moment, there were 110,000 people under his command, and the faces of the soldiers were all full of decadence.
"Deputy Commander, how are we going to explain to Lord Lei and the others when we go back now?" Chief of Staff Yu You said with a bitter look on his face.
"Thirty million elite troops have suffered such losses. God bless us Cang Lei. In the next five thousand years, we Cang Lei will not even think about competing with other super continents and Tianyu." Gongyang Daowen also said.
Let out a long sigh.
A general under his command said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to rush back and report the situation to His Majesty Lord Lei. The Cang Lei Empire is about to enter a state of emergency combat readiness."
When the Forbidden Night subsided and the countless wandering Forbidden Corpses fell silent, their troops immediately continued to set off.
They are driving towards Canglei Continent, and Xiang Chen's men and horses are also driving towards Canglei Continent.
However, after traveling tens of thousands of light-years and leaving the area covered by the Tianji Divine Net, they no longer have the advantage of the Tianji Divine Net as an eye.
A month later, Gongyang Daowen's men entered the cosmic area of Canglei Continent.
Canglei Continent, a supercontinent, is as large as the universe. It is surrounded by a huge cosmic space layer, including countless sun, moon and stars. It is similar to the ancient people's understanding of the round sky and the earth.
This is true for all supercontinents, unlike other Eternal Universes that do not have supercontinents and are not dominated by continents.
The difference in the prehistoric sky is that there is an extremely vast starry sky and a huge group of continents like a supercontinent, which can be regarded as one day and one place!
When entering the starry sky area of Canglei Continent, their communication with the mainland was also restored.
Cang Lei Imperial Capital, the entire imperial capital is covered with countless thunders, and there are dense lightnings everywhere in the sky, which looks extremely spectacular.
People in Cang Lei Continent are also accustomed to it. The most creatures on this continent are creatures with thunder attribute energy.
Thunderbirds, Thunderluans, Kui Niu, Lightning Birds, Electric Eels, Electric Rats, Thunder Tigers, Thunder Dragons and other races with thunder attributes can be seen everywhere here.
The most powerful among them is the Lei Ze clan!
The Cang Lei Empire established by the Lei Ze clan controls the entire Cang Lei Continent and countless stars!
In the imperial palace, a middle-aged man with a handsome and majestic appearance, dressed in a purple-gold thunder-patterned robe, was diligently handling government affairs.
The Lord of Cang Lei, Thunder Lord Lei Hao, is the seventh generation monarch of the Cang Lei Empire.
A eunuch with quick steps entered the palace, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Director Tian Ting, I have traveled thousands of miles to see you."
Lei Hao frowned slightly and said, "I guess the news from King Wu and his friends has arrived, Xuan!"
"yes!"
Soon, a middle-aged man with silver hair quickly entered the palace, with a solemn expression, and bowed: "I have traveled thousands of miles to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Lei Hao's jade seal landed on a memorial and stamped it with a big seal. He threw it aside and then said: "But the frontline battle report?"
Wan Lixing looked complicated and nodded. He took out a notebook and the eunuch next to him presented it to him.
Lei Hao opened it and took a look. After taking a breath, his expression changed drastically.
boom--!
The Thunder Lord exuded terrifying murderous intent and energy, and the surrounding air instantly filled with streaks of lightning.
His breathing became slightly rapid, his eyes turned blood red, and he clenched his fists.
That is the situation of the defeat on the front line, as well as the battle report of the defeat.
Lord Lei slapped the table and stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately declare all ministers of the Ministry of War to enter the palace!"
"promise!"
The eunuch retreated tremblingly.
The Thunder Lord stroked his head, feeling dizzy and filled with anger.
Soon after, all the ministers of the Ministry of War and generals above the third rank in the imperial capital were summoned, and there were dozens more people in the hall.
Lei Lord said nothing and threw the book down. Jiang Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, quickly picked it up and looked at it. Gradually, his face changed with horror. He couldn't help but look at Lei Lord, whose face was as gloomy as water.
He took it and circulated it around, and everyone else who saw it became disoriented.
"This, this, King Lei Yuanwu was defeated, this -"
"With thirty million elite troops, how could they be defeated so quickly even if the war situation was unfavorable?"
"The enemy prepared an ambush in advance, how could something like this happen?" In an instant, the entire court's generals and ministers were in an uproar.
