Mentioning the demon army, Long Yunxiao's face became more solemn and his eyes became colder.
He paused for a moment, then said in a low tone: "It's not yet possible to find out the specific number of people in the demon army, but based on the clues we have obtained before, we can make a rough estimate."
Ji Tianxing stared at the sand table and asked without raising his head: "About how much?"
Long Yunxiao said word for word: "Thirty million!"
Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned fiercely, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"With an army of 30 million demons and only 8 million soldiers of our clan, how can we hold the Tianlong Pass?"
Long Yunxiao looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "The demon tribe has slowed down its attack on the water tribe and the demon tribe, assembled its elite main force, and attacked our tribe with all its strength. Our tribe can only passively defend.
Even though the Imperial Court has 80 million troops under its command, it still has to defend every border.
There is no way, our clan has the most vast territory, and there are too many places where the army needs to be stationed and defended!
The emperor can mobilize eight million troops to guard Tianlong Pass, which is already the limit of the imperial court!"
Of course Ji Tianxing understood this, so he couldn't say anything more and could only continue to ask: "Who is the commander of the Demon Clan? I heard the news in Zhongzhou City that the Demon Emperor went to war in person?"
Long Yunxiao shook his head and said in a low tone: "So far, the Ancient Demon Emperor has never shown his face. The emperor and the emperor's master have cast spells to find him, but they can't sense his aura.
On the surface, it seems that the Ancient Demon Emperor has not come to Tianlong Pass, but..."
"But what?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and turned to look at him.
Long Yunxiao hesitated for a moment, then said using the sound transmission method: "Although we didn't see the Demon King appear, we did see his mount, the Nether Soul-Suppressing Beast."
"The soul-suppressing beast of the underworld?" Ji Tianxing frowned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Isn't that the legendary guardian beast that guards the underworld?"
Long Yunxiao nodded, but then shook his head and explained: "The legendary Nether Soul-Suppressing Beast, of course, guards the gate of the Nether Underworld, and is a beast comparable to gods.
Of course, the Demon Emperor’s mount cannot be a divine beast, but it also possesses the strength of the Yuan Shen realm!
That Nether Soul-Suppressing Beast has been sleeping in the Demon Clan's Holy Mountain and has not appeared in the world for thousands of years.
Seven days ago, the Northern God General led his army out of Tianlong Pass and took the initiative to attack, but was driven back by the Nether Soul-Suppressing Beast.
That was the first appearance of the Netherworld Soul-Suppressing Beast, which could trigger changes in the world thousands of miles away, release monstrous soul fire and Netherworld cold air, and kill hundreds of thousands of troops in the blink of an eye.
Even the Northern Divine General was injured by the cold air of the Netherworld and is still recovering in seclusion in the camp."
Ji Tianxing showed a worried look and said with worry: "Although the Nether Soul-Suppressing Beast only has the strength of the Yuan Shen realm, it is already invincible on the Tianxuan Continent and is equivalent to a divine beast."
Long Yunxiao continued: "On the surface, it seems that the commander of the 30 million demon army is Dajie Luo Brahma Soul Nightmare who is attached to the demon scepter, as well as six demon commanders and four great sages.
But the Nether Soul-Suppressing Beast cannot be the supreme commander, and its appearance probably proves that the Demon Emperor is among the army, but has just not shown up for the time being."
Ji Tianxing nodded to express his understanding, and said in a deep voice: "If the Demon King really comes, then the demon clan will come out in full force, and all the powerful people will be here!
Whether it is the number of troops or the number of top experts, the demon clan has an absolute advantage and can even crush our clan!
Emperor, what are your plans and arrangements?"
In order to keep it secret, Long Yunxiao sent another message and said: "Half a month ago, the demon army arrived at the Tianlong Pass. Eight million soldiers of our clan have also gathered, and the two sides are in a stalemate here.
In the next eight days, the demon army launched more than a dozen strong attacks, vowing to break through Tianlong Pass.
However, there was an ancient formation set up by the ancestors of the Imperial Court at Tianlong Pass, which was so powerful that it blocked the fierce attack of the demon army.
Now our clan only needs to maintain the operation of the ancient formation, and the demon army will not be able to break through the pass.
However, the ancient formation can only last for about a month, and its power will be greatly weakened until it is exhausted and shut down."
When Ji Tianxing heard this, his face suddenly became even uglier, "Originally, I thought that relying on the support of the ancient formation, our clan could stop the demon army and maintain a stalemate with them.
From this point of view, our clan can hold on for at most half a month, and the ancient formation will be exhausted?"
Long Yunxiao nodded and explained: "Actually, even if the ancient formation can last for three to five months, it will be useless. The demon army cannot stay here forever.
After all, if the demon army wants to invade the land of Zhongzhou, there are three hurdles to break through.
Tianlong Pass is only the nearest pass, but it is not the only entrance.
The other two checkpoints are the Manggu Mountains near the Western Wilderness, and the Tianhaiguan Pass near the East China Sea."
Ji Tianxing was startled for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said: "It makes sense! If the demon clan has been unable to break through the Tianlong Pass, it is very likely that they will give up attacking the Tianlong Pass.
If the demons attack the Manggu Mountains or Tianhaiguan, the chance of success will be even greater.
But it will take them a few more months to take a detour."
"Yes!" Long Yunxiao sighed with a heavy heart and said: "So, we can't stick to Tianlong Pass. We must take the initiative to attract the main force of the demon army to stay here, so as not to let the Manggu Mountains and Tianguan Pass pass.
fall.
However, every time our army takes the initiative to attack, it will be defeated and at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers will die.
In just half a month, our clan has sacrificed millions of soldiers, the bones have piled up like mountains, and the blood has long since gathered into rivers.
The two sides are now in a stalemate, but if the confrontation continues like this, it won’t be long before our eight million soldiers will be exhausted.”
Ji Tianxing was silent for a while, and then he said, "Take me to see the emperor. I want to discuss this matter with the emperor, and maybe there will be some improvement."
"Okay!" Long Yunxiao nodded in agreement without hesitation.
After giving some instructions to the generals, he took Ji Tianxing and left the Chinese army tent and flew deep into the camp.
While flying over the camp, Long Yunxiao remembered one more thing and sent a message to Ji Tianxing: "By the way, in addition to the powerful men and soldiers under the Imperial Court, people from the Imperial Palace are also here.
Now the great master Black Feather is also in the military camp, with five masters and more than forty emperor's sons under his command. Everyone is bravely participating in the battle and trying their best to resist the demon army.
Kunwu and Huji from the Demon Clan, and Taiyi, the Prince of the Water Tribe, all came to help in the battle, and they had met me before.
After you meet the emperor, you can go to the great master Black Feather, maybe he has something to say to you."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "We'll discuss this later. Let's go meet the emperor first."
