Chapter 1476: Chapter 645: Shocking Catastrophe! Strangling Nai Shu?

In ancient Chinese warfare, the number of people actually killed on the battlefield was not very high; thousands were considered a large number, and tens of thousands were extremely rare.

The real meat grinder battlefield didn’t truly appear until the time of World War I.

However, in this war between Lanling and Nai Shu, especially when thirty thousand Centaurs confronted the Black Demon Flag’s million-strong army, it became a true meat grinder.

From the rain of arrows to close combat, within just two hours, the Black Demon Flag’s army suffered casualties in the hundreds of thousands.

Every second, many people died.

The people of the Barbaric Wilderness were much more bold and bloodthirsty. And the combat power of these Centaur armies was akin to human-shaped tanks.

The combination of these two conditions resulted in such terrifying casualties!

As for the Centaur Army’s casualties, Lanling was incredibly lucky.

The soldiers of the Black Demon Flag were too bold and bloodthirsty, completely unafraid of death. Once they got over the “corpse” walls of the Mammoth Giants, the Centaur Army would suffer significant casualties. Because before, these Black Demon Flag armies were in a passive position, just being slaughtered.

Although the Centaurs were very powerful, they were not invincible. Once surrounded by the Black Demon Flag army, with dozens of barbarian soldiers besieging one Centaur, they would still be heavily wounded, even killed.

Then, at this critical moment.

The commander Nai Shu suddenly ran away, and the Black Demon Flag’s army felt betrayed and deceived. Consequently, their morale completely collapsed, and the entire battle situation instantly crumbled!

One incapability of a general can lead to the death of thousands of troops!

Normally, Nai Shu appeared to be very formidable, with martial arts talent that could be called genius. He excelled in all other aspects, apart from being a bit arrogant, but had no other faults.

No one expected that at the crucial moment, he would be so incompetent!

The great battle was over.

The surviving hundreds of thousands from the Black Demon Flag’s army laid down their weapons and stopped fighting.

The death Samurai Chiyan Khan sternly said, “Lay down your weapons, kneel on the ground, and you will be spared!”

However, these soldiers of the Black Demon Flag remained standing in place, unmoving.

The reason they put down their weapons and refused to fight was that they felt betrayed by Nai Shu and the Demon Flag Family, not because they feared death.

They could lay down their weapons, but they would not kneel.

Most of the soldiers of the Rakshasa Tribe would rather stand and die than kneel and live!

“Kneel, or you will be slaughtered to extinction!” Chiyan Khan raged.

But, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Black Demon Flag still stood upright, refusing to kneel!

At this moment, Lanling truly felt a myriad of emotions!

In the Human Kingdom, every time he won, countless people would surrender, causing his army to continuously expand from a mere ten thousand Silver Wolf Legion to finally tens of thousands of troops. Read full story at novel⟡fire.net

Eventually, the entire million-strong army of the Rage Wave Kingdom surrendered to him.

Lanling has not yet successfully recruited a single Rakshasa Tribe army, having experienced three great battles and killed more than hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa Tribe troopers, but not a single army had surrendered.

Even, not even the ordinary Rakshasa Tribe citizens had fully surrendered. Just a short time ago, they rebelled, and Lanling killed two hundred thousand of them. The Silver Alliance, with a population of six to seven hundred thousand, had been reduced to just one hundred thousand by Lanling.

Whether they were barbarians or the Demon Clan, their resolve was indeed tough!

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

At least now, Lanling should give up hope of making the hundreds of thousands of Black Demon Flag soldiers present surrender, unless he once again lifts the butcher’s knife and kills all those who have laid down their weapons.

But, should he kill them all? Lanling hesitated!

The Rakshasa Tribe’s citizens could be made to fear and bow through slaughter, but they’re only responsible for construction, so having softer resolve doesn’t matter. But for the military, soft resolve would be disastrous.

This battle, the Black Demon Flag was already defeated.

Lanling needed to consider one question, how should he proceed from here?

Should he continue killing relentlessly until every single person who refused to surrender is annihilated? That would mean killing over ten million people in the entire Black Demon Banner Territory.

With all people dead, what’s the use of having a territory over millions of square kilometers?

The Flame Demon Empire Lanling aimed to establish values people far more than territory.

Of course, if there were tens of millions of Near-Human Tribe refugees, it wouldn’t matter, Lanling would immediately slaughter all Rakshasa Tribes in the Black Demon Banner Territory, then let tens of millions of Near-Human Tribe people settle in, and directly establish the Flame Demon Empire.

But after decades of slaughter by the Mo Tuo Empire, how many Near-Human Tribe members were left in the Northern Barbaric Lands? And how many successfully fled to the Southern Barbaric Lands?

According to Lanling’s estimate, it should not exceed one hundred thousand.

So, completely relying on Near-Human Tribe population alone, the Flame Demon Tribe’s population faces a bottleneck.

Relying solely on the Near-Human Tribe population will never be enough to construct the Flame Demon Empire, he must rely on the Rakshasa Tribe’s population.

Therefore, this army must not be killed, they must be conquered, they must swear allegiance!

Next, Lanling needs to slightly change his strategy to completely occupy the entire Black Demon Banner, wanting both the people and the land.

He wishes for a powerful Flame Demon Empire!

Lanling rode on three Chimera Beasts, hovering over the hundreds of thousands of Black Demon Flag soldiers, speaking to them.

“This time, to destroy the Flame Demon Tribe, the Black Demon Banner has committed every single elite troop, with one hundred and twenty thousand of you! How many are left now, sixty thousand? Fifty thousand?” Lanling slowly said: “But no matter what, as long as I kill you all, there’s no one left in the entire Black Demon Banner to stop my iron hoof, and I can easily occupy the entire Black Demon Banner Territory!”
