Chapter 954 Lie Prajna Who Wants to Cry but Has No Tears

Grabbing the officer in front of him, he caught the bitterness in his eyes, and gradually, Lie Prajna also sensed something.

He knew what kind of strength his troops had, and now the officers in front of him had fought like this, how could it mean that they were incapable? This meant that they were really attacked by a powerful beast.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lie Prajna was a little unstable. But soon, he immediately thought of such a big thing in the army, and no one had communicated with him, so he became even more furious.

"Come on, pull up all the messengers in front of the army, I want to punish them for dereliction of duty!" Lie Prajna shouted, and the messengers were immediately pulled to kneel in front of Lie Prajna.

Lie Prajna was furious and scolded: "The military situation is urgent, why don't you report it, are you deliberately sending my soldiers to death?"

When the messengers heard this, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly. One of them had always been loyal to his duty. He had previously ignored Lie Prajna's scolding and forcibly passed on the military order three times in a row, but was unreasonably pulled down by Lie Prajna. Now, he felt that the grievance in his heart turned into an explosive force, and he suddenly blurted out: "I...we reported it but you didn't listen!"

The voice was very loud and spread to all directions nearby in an instant. When Lie Prajna heard it, his face suddenly became gloomy, thinking that a mere messenger dared to falsely accuse me. He was about to punish him, but after he saw the face of the messenger in front of him clearly, he swallowed the words on his lips. He always felt that this messenger seemed to be really familiar, as if he had been here before.

"God and God, everyone present can testify that we have come here many times in a row, all to report urgent military information. Not only did the adults not listen, but they also pulled us down directly, and added an order for a forced march. Military orders are like mountains, I...I..." The messenger seemed a little excited. It was obvious that he had been holding back his anger for too long, and now he wanted to let it out, regardless of whether he could survive.

Lie Prajna's face became uglier, especially when he found that after the messenger finished speaking, everyone around him stared at him with burning eyes. That kind of gaze, as if staring at a culprit, or staring at a stupid pig, made his face feel as if there were thousands of needles piercing it, burning and painful.

In this way, even if Lie Prajna wanted to quibble, he had already made a big mistake in public, so how could he dare to open his mouth to defend himself? Even if he wanted to defend himself, he would have no way to defend himself now, because he was the root cause of the loss of the entire army.

Lie Prajna took a few steps back, and retreated directly to his seat. Then, he saw Yue Xiaoxian standing aside, and saw Yue Xiaoxian's expression as if she was looking at an idiot.

Lie Prajna felt that all his previous show-offs and prestige had vanished at this moment. Yue Xiaoxian was not getting closer to him, but was getting farther and farther away. Especially Yue Xiaoxian's gaze, which made him wish he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it immediately.

But soon, a shout made Lie Prajna sober up again: "My lord, things have come to this point, please give orders to quickly gather the army and preserve the strength first."

"My troops!" Lie Prajna was shocked and stood up again immediately, saying to himself: "I have to save my troops first!"

Just when he wanted to call a few trusted deputy generals around him to discuss countermeasures, suddenly, about two or three hundred feet in front of him, from the depths of the army, a cry came out: "Everyone be careful!"

The moment the cry came out, before anyone could react, there was a strong explosion. Then, everyone found that the whole earth began to tremble.

Lie Prajna was shocked, and felt that this sudden change was like a natural disaster that shook the earth and mountains, too terrifying. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Before the voice fell completely, he saw that soldiers from the front army flew out one by one, and fell randomly in all directions without any rules. These soldiers were covered in blood. Once they fell to the ground, they could hardly move anymore and died directly.

"It's a beast tide, a beast tide is coming!" In front of Lie Prajna, an officer with wounds all over his body looked extremely ugly and cried out in shock.

He had seen this situation before, and only a beast tide could cause it. And the beast tide in Lingmen Mountain was enough to destroy a large army, and he knew it!

"Organize a defense line, resist the beast tide, and protect the adults!" The strong deputy general jumped out with a big axe in his hand, and shouted, leading Lie Prajna's guards to support the front.

Lie Prajna's deputy general was strong, and he brought his most elite troops. Most of the time, Lie Prajna could rest easy with the protection of this army. However, today, the beast tide in Lingmen Mountain opened Lie Prajna's eyes.

Not long after the deputy general came forward, Lie Prajna saw that he was also thrown high into the air and was seriously injured. Then, the front line of the front army collapsed, and a mammoth beast that was dozens of feet tall took the lead and rushed towards Lie Prajna!

This mammoth beast now had two strings of soldiers on its pair of white fangs. Its cultivation was so terrifying that it was at the level of the second source heavenly cultivation!

"Heaven... Heavenly cultivation beast!" Lie Prajna took a breath and stared. When he looked at the series of chaotic, extremely powerful beasts behind the mammoth beast, and the number was so countless that he felt like he was going to collapse.

At this moment, Lie Prajna finally understood why the four-way troops had repeatedly called for help. The number of fierce beasts here was so strong that they could confront his troops head-on, and they might even be stronger. He came here and surrounded the old bandits all the way. Before he caught them, he regarded all the fierce beasts in the mountains as enemies.

"The whole army shrank into a group and formed a defensive posture. As long as the passing fierce beasts did not attack us, they would be automatically let go, and only attack the aggressive fierce beasts!" Just when Lie Prajna was completely confused, a woman's decisive voice came from his side.

"Switch the front and back armies, the strong ones will protect outside, and surround the injured in the middle. Defense is the main thing, never take the initiative to attack, and do not provoke the beasts!" The woman's voice continued, and Lie Prajna turned around and saw a beautiful woman who was calmly directing the army's every move.

"Yes, I have to find a way to control the situation." Lie Prajna was infected by Yue Xiaoxian's calmness, and finally calmed down and began to join the command.

The beast tide lasted for more than half an hour. Fortunately, Yue Xiaoxian remained calm and infected all the commanders, finally allowing the situation to be controlled in the end and not completely collapsed.

However, this time when the beast tide rushed over, nearly 30% of the soldiers near Lie Prajna died. As for the wounded, it reached as much as 50%. In other words, only about 20% can maintain full combat effectiveness. This result is tantamount to a thunderbolt for a unit.

Finally realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lie Prajna no longer cared about showing off in front of Yue Xiaoxian. After the beast tide subsided, he immediately ordered all troops to quickly withdraw with his own troops as the center to avoid being too large a target and being attacked by the beasts again.

This order is obviously very wise, but it came too late. It was not until more than three hours later, when all the troops had retreated to the vicinity of Lie Prajna, they were actually groups of remnants and defeated generals.

After a quick count, the messenger told Lie Prajna that only half of the troops were left. Moreover, at least 60% of the half were injured!

After getting this result, Lie Prajna wanted to die. He spent a huge price and time to cultivate this large army bit by bit. But today, he has not even met his real opponent, but he has suffered such a heavy loss. He felt that his heart was bleeding.

Especially when he thought of such a heavy loss, he must give an explanation to the army, and thought that his power would be reduced by more than half from now on, he was even more depressed and difficult to express.

"Sir, now that things have come to this, let's continue to move forward and complete the mission. If we catch those old bandits, it will at least be a great achievement. At that time, the merits and demerits will be offset, which is much better than returning empty-handed." Beside Lie Prajna, the yellow dog with blood on his face spoke to Lie Prajna.

Lie Prajna looked at the yellow dog beside him, then looked at Yue Xiaoxian who had left him to comfort the soldiers in the front, and finally nodded: "Well, let's go."
