Chapter 126: Chapter 94: New Version of Epiphyllum Elixir? The Luo Family’s Fourth Viscera Refinement!_1
A blink of an eye.
Another day had passed.
Early in the morning, when the sky was not yet fully bright.
The temperature around was still slightly chilly.
Outside of East Earth Town, the Luo Family’s large army launched a new round of attack.
“Family Head of the Ding Family.”
“The Luo Family has launched another attack.”
“If this continues…”
“Perhaps it won’t be long before East Earth Town completely falls.”
Atop the city walls of East Earth Town,
Feng Xingwen, the current Family Head of the Feng Family, standing behind Ding Fan,
Silently looked at the Luo Family’s large army continuously advancing towards East Earth Town and couldn’t help but speak out.
“I know, you don’t have to tell me this…”
Ding Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat grave as he watched the Luo Family’s army surge towards East Earth Town like a tide.
After a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but sigh.
In the face of such a relentless onslaught from the Luo Family,
His East Earth Town, the Ding Family, had lost.
The Allied Forces of the five towns had lost.
It may seem as though East Earth Town was still in the hands of the Ding Family, but if the situation continued like this,
Forget about ten days or a half-month.
In maybe just five or six days,
The soldiers within East Earth Town would be completely wiped out.
“Prepare for the next step, it’s time for the clan members of those family powers to take to the stage.”
After speaking, Ding Fan quietly turned around and walked down the city walls.
On the wall, Feng Xingwen looked at the Luo Family Army who were attacking furiously.
Then, he looked at Ding Fan, the current Family Head of the Ding Family.
Feng Xingwen couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
A hint of helplessness also appeared on his face.
Under someone else’s roof, one has no choice but to bow one’s head.
For East Earth Town, as well as the four nearby small towns,
The Ding Family was the absolute ruler.
To call the Ding Family a “local emperor” was not even an overstatement.
Moreover, the old ancestor of the Ding Family was only one step away from reaching the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement.
Thus, between the Ding Family and the Luo Family of Qingshi Town,
The gap was actually not all that big.
If the old ancestor of the Ding Family were willing, the Luo Family’s offensive could be easily dismantled in an instant.
…
A blink of an eye.
The time had arrived at dusk once again.
Within the Ding Family Manor in East Earth Town,
Inside the room where the Family Head of the Ding Family was located,
Ding Fan, the current Family Head of the Ding Family, was currently sitting in the main seat,
His hands holding and silently flipping through a report of today’s battle losses.
The report explicitly recorded,
Approximately ten thousand soldiers of the Ding Family fell today.
The Luo Family side lost at most six or seven hundred.
Six or seven hundred, this number was somewhat higher than the casualties the Luo Family had suffered the day before.
But when compared with the ten thousand lost on our side,
It was a somewhat trivial amount.
“Someone…”
Suddenly, Ding Fan called out in a low voice.
“Family Head, what are your orders?”
Outside the room, a Ding Family servant who had been standing in silence heard the call and hurried into the room.
“How are the preparations for those family powers going?”
Ding Fan took one final look at the battle losses in his hands, then he lifted his head, looking at the Ding Family servant standing before him.
“Everything is being prepared. They say that at the latest, they can join in by tomorrow,” the servant responded in a low voice.
“At the latest by tomorrow?” Ding Fan murmured as he nodded silently, then waved his hand, “All right, I understand, you may leave…”
In the room, the Ding Family servant bowed his head a little, gave a formal gesture of respect, and,
Then turned around, leaving the room.
…
As time passed,
A new day had arrived before one knew it.
Under the command of the Luo Family’s chief commander, Luo Yong,
The Luo Family’s boasted army of two hundred thousand elite troops
Once again swiftly approached the direction of East Earth Town.
“Ten thousand the day before yesterday, ten thousand yesterday, another ten thousand today,”
“I refuse to believe that East Earth Town can keep holding on like it is now…” Luo Yong grumbled,
Wearing precious armor and a blade at his waist,
As he curse and muttered to himself.
Originally, Luo Yong had planned to take East Earth Town in three days,
But unexpectedly…
He had been held up for so long outside this tiny East Earth Town.
During this time, Luo Yong had thought about leading a group personally to East Earth Town for a mission,
To carry out a decapitation strike.
To slaughter all the commandants of East Earth Town.
And wouldn’t East Earth Town then fall without a fight?
But as soon as this idea came up, Luo Yong pushed it out of his mind.
Let’s not talk about other things, just,
If every war was fought with a decapitation plan,
Then what was the point of training these soldiers?
Besides, if soldiers wanted to grow and an army wanted to become stronger,
They needed to go through one difficult war after another.
The more blood on one’s hands, the stronger an army’s overall strength would be.
Now with East Earth Town as such a good sparring partner,
Why wouldn’t he take joy in this opportunity?
…
Noon.
Outside East Earth Town.
At this moment, the sun blazed overhead.
The outdoor temperature had risen again to a degree that was somewhat unbearable for ordinary people.
“How is it?”
In the military camp, inside the main commander’s tent.
Luo Yong, while gnawing on a lamb leg, asked the deputy commander beside him in a low voice,
“General, today…”
“Today, there seems to be something unusual about East Earth Town.”
“The resistance has grown more intense.”
“It seems they’ve also added a good number of cultivators,”
“Resulting in an increasing number of losses on our side,”
The deputy commander said, his head slightly bowed.
