465: 246: The enemy is completely wiped out!

(Important)_2 465: 246: The enemy is completely wiped out!

The entire army is annihilated!

(Important)_2 Not only Zhi Li, nor just Count Tuli Yun himself, but almost everyone thought the battle was a sure win, no matter how it was fought.

However…

the outcome turned out to be the total annihilation of the whole army!

One hundred and thirty thousand against seven thousand, and yet the whole army was annihilated.

And the casualties of Suo Lun’s seven thousand Rock Pirates were next to nothing!

What oil is this floating on the sea?

So much, so toxic, so terrifying?

All were deceptions, those incendiary bombs, those new catapults, just feints.

Suo Lun used himself and the seven thousand Queen’s Island Fleet ships as bait to lure the Annihilate Sauron Alliance Fleet into Devil’s Bay.

He then used the flames of hell to destroy the entire army of one hundred and thirty thousand.

It was too cruel, too terrifying!

The Queen’s Island Fleet was his only naval power, and he was willing to discard such precious Rock Pirates ships in an instant.

To bury the Allied Army of Extinction, he was willing to sacrifice a hundred Rock Pirates ships.

Such a ruthless decision!

At that moment, Turing Chen by his side was completely stunned and despairing, staring at the sea ablaze with fire.

“I knew it, I just knew it, that Suo Lun would have a trap, there must be a trap…” Turing Chen muttered to himself.

“It’s too cruel, too cruel…

Isn’t he afraid of damaging Sky Harmony?” suddenly yelled Count Tuli Yun in shock.

“Tens of thousands of soldiers, perishing by my hand!

Oh heavens…”

Immediately after, Count Tuli Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision darkened, and he fainted completely.

“Master, master…”

“City Lord, City Lord…”

The loyal samurai by his side quickly caught Tuli Yun, and then, taking advantage of the thick smoke and the night, desperately fled to the north.

…

Suo Lun and Yanchuo’er (Queen) stood on top of the mountain, overlooking the scene of utter devastation below.

It was truly akin to the end of the world.

Even the real historical Battle of Red Cliffs was not this tragic.

In the Battle of Red Cliffs, not many of Cao Cao’s nearly two hundred thousand soldiers died in the fire.

Many were missing, many fled.

But in the Devil’s Bay below, there were flames everywhere, toxic smoke everywhere.

Suo Lun clearly saw thousands, tens of thousands of people being burned alive in the fire, writhing, screaming in agony, and eventually turning into charred corpses.

And there were tens of thousands more who jumped into the sea to escape, yet once they sank down, they never resurfaced.

Actually, the whole process was very short!

These nearly twenty million pounds of crude oil spread over the entire sea surface, forming only a thin layer, that burned for at most ten to fifteen minutes before being extinguished.

Just about a quarter of an hour.

But that quarter of an hour was an absolute death sentence for the entire Alliance Army of Extinction.

In the flames, the toxic smoke, and the suffocating seawater, no one could survive that quarter of an hour.

For everyone, that quarter of an hour was hell.

After the crude oil burned out, what remained were more than a thousand ships floating on the sea, continuing to burn.

That quarter of an hour, even for Suo Lun who was witnessing the battle, felt unbearably long.

He saw with his own eyes how the approaching tide ignited countless barrels of oil, and then the entire sea surface caught fire, turning into a sea of fire for miles around.

Next, innumerable lives struggled, screamed, and then were burned to ashes.

After that, the flames on the sea surface died out, leaving only more than a thousand burning ships.

But at that moment, there were no more screams of agony on the sea, nor was there any life left alive.

Apart from the burning ships, the sea had fallen into complete silence.

Tens of thousands of troops, all dead!

The entire process took less than half an hour.

Which is to say, in less than half an hour, Suo Lun killed tens of thousands of people, leading to the annihilation of four enemy armies.

At this time, Suo Lun couldn’t help but recall from “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” the scene where Zhuge Liang set fire to the vine-armored troops.

With one fire, tens of thousands of vine-armored troops were burned completely.

After the victory, Zhuge Liang felt no joy but instead mourned, saying that the battle would shorten his life span, as it was too damaging to the harmony with heaven.

And that was exactly how Suo Lun felt now.

Too damaging to the harmony with heaven!

“That’s enough, there’s no need to think any further; damaging the harmony with heaven is better than sitting around waiting for death,” Yan Chuo’er said indifferently.

The Rock Pirates have always been indifferent to life and death.

…

During the Sea of Fire, the entire command staff of the Alliance Army of Extinction were thrown into utter chaos!

It seemed that the only ones who had successfully landed were Turing Chen and Tuli Ming, protected by samurai of the Tuli Family.

At this moment, several hundred samurai were escorting Lord Tuli Yun and Turing Chen, desperately fleeing north through the dense forest.

Count Tuli Yun, feeling devastated and guilty over the annihilation of the tens of thousands of troops he commanded, spat up blood and fainted; to this day, he has not yet awakened.

Turing Chen, initially, was in complete despair, shock, pain, and turmoil.

But under the desire to survive, he quickly came to his senses.

To him, escaping with his life from the Tianshui City Territory was a victory, although his body was burned in many places, even his hair was completely singed, and his whole body was in intense agony from the burns.

Yet, he clenched his teeth and, following the Tuli Family’s samurai, desperately fled north!

As long as they could get to the border between Tianshui City and Linhai City, they could save their lives.

Because, at the border, Gui Xingfu had deployed nearly ten thousand troops; if Suo’s fleet were to be destroyed and the Allied Army landed, these ten thousand troops were to march directly south, invading the Tianshui City Territory.

Now, the invasion of the Linhai City army into the Tianshui City Territory was impossible, but they could save the lives of Turing Chen, Tuli Yun, and others.

Desperately running, running…

After bursting through dozens of miles of dense forest, a clearing suddenly appeared ahead, an open field!

Turing Chen, intent only on his frantic escape, suddenly noticed that the Tuli Family’s samurai surrounding him had stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Turing Chen blurted out, raising his head sharply.

But in front of him, he saw several formations of Suo’s cavalry, not many, just two thousand in total.

Leading the cavalry, clad in white-gold armor, was Yan Nai’er!

Originally, her father, Yan Yan, should have led the troops to block this point, but she did not want to stay with Zhi Yan Princess to defend the Heavenly Water Main City.

She wanted to be closer to Suo Lun, so she led the troops here to intercept!

She had not expected to really catch two big fish!

Seeing the extremely disheveled Turing Chen, Yan Nai’er said coldly, “Young Master Turing, long time no see, I trust you’ve been well!”

Turing Chen clenched his teeth inwardly, a multitude of thoughts surging through his mind.

Firstly, his initial thought was to stand his ground and laugh heartily, choosing death over surrender.

Secondly, even more resolutely, he would unsheathe his sword and slay himself, unwilling to bear humiliation.

Either option would have left an indelible mark in Yan Nai’er’s heart.

The impulses that surged in Turing Chen’s heart were exactly these two.

But…

For some reason, as if possessed, his voice trembling, he said, “Nai’er, two years ago, we were like siblings; how many times did I desperately save you?

How many times did I stand guard in front of you?

Please, for the sake of past kindness, spare my life!”

After saying these words, Turing Chen clearly felt himself breaching the bottom line of his dignity.

Then, his legs gave way, and he knelt down in front of Yan Nai’er, pleading through tears, “Sister Yan, for our past affection, for the times I saved your life before, please spare me!”

He then prostrated himself fully, bowing deeply, his forehead pressed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
