C632 Unfavorable to the War
At the same time, a fierce battle was taking place in the direction of Baishuang City.
On Baishuang City's side, the defensive array had already been activated, each and every forbidden attack attacking the troops outside of the city, causing heavy casualties for the cultivators.
Originally, they thought that the Baishuang City would pay attention to the other side, and thought that this surprise attack might have some miraculous effects. Who knew that the Hundred Frostbite Nie Family seemed to have been prepared long ago, and not only were their surprise attacks ineffective, they even felt like they were waiting for someone to take care of them.
Moreover, the attack power of Hundred Frostbite Nie Family's formations were impressive, many of its attacks contained taboo attacks of the water attribute. Many cultivators who did not pay attention would be frozen into frost, and some people even had water poisons in their bodies, causing serious damage to their fighting capabilities.
At the end of the battle, Chief Steward realized that his side wouldn't be able to take even the slightest advantage. If this carried on, then when everyone's spiritual energy was exhausted, he would have thoughts of retreating.
Moreover, there was even a Fifth Level of the Heavenly Stage rank Da Niu among them. Chief Steward instantly cried out that things were not looking good, if they were to continue fighting, then they might really all die here. He could only immediately order everyone to retreat, and try again in the future.
And the most important point of this battle, Commander Zhou, was truly matched well with his opponent this time. He had fought a total of over a thousand moves with the Great Elder of Hundred FrostNie Family, Chief Steward, from the beginning of the surprise attack to the retreat.
Commander Zhou never thought that the Hundred Frost Nie Family would actually hide such an expert. He originally thought that Nie Tianle was the strongest person there, and had confidence in Nie Tianle and Commander Zhou.
But who would have thought that the one who would rush out of the Hundred Frost Nie Family would actually be this old fellow, and his fighting strength was not any weaker than his. Once their strongest fighting strength was blocked, their attacking strength would instantly decrease by half.
And what made Commander Zhou even more anxious was that the Patriarch of the Hundred Frost Nie Family had not made his move. If even he acted, then he would probably be at a disadvantage against two people.
Commander Zhou had no choice but to shake his hand a few times. After putting some distance between himself and Nie Wentian, he quickly withdrew and prepared to fight again another day.
Nie Wentian did not continue to pester Commander Zhou, as Commander Zhou's strength had also exceeded his expectations. Nie Wentian had been in closed-door training for a hundred years, and although his cultivation had not entered the seventh stage of the Origin Stage, he felt that there should be no opponents below the seventh stage of the Origin Stage for him.
But after battling Commander Zhou for an entire night, they were actually on par with each other. It was then that Nie Wentian knew that he had still underestimated Commander Zhou, and seeing that Commander Zhou had chosen to stop the fight, he quickly took his hand back and returned to Baishuang City.
Early morning …
Commander Zhou strode into the tent. The two stewards and Commander Zhou's subordinates immediately came over and greeted him, "Commander Zhou, how is the situation?"
Commander Zhou waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
After they all sat down, Commander Zhou said, "How is the battle going?"
Steward Tang was the first to speak: "The situation is not looking good. We attacked for an entire night, and we couldn't even break through the formation outside the city gates. The Hundred Frost Nie Family was prepared this time, and as we waited, we sacrificed some of our men."
Commander Zhou squinted his eyes, and said: "This time, Hundred Frost Nie Family has come prepared, I think they have already seen through our plan, and did not attack the city from a different angle, maybe it is a good thing. This time, Hundred Frost Nie Family is prepared so well, even if we enter the city, who knows if there will be other traps."
Steward Zhu frowned: "Looks like Hundred Frost Nie Family is even more terrifying than we expected … Commander Zhou, this time, after fighting to the latter half of the battle, Hundred Frost Nie Family actually sent out Origin Stage Spirit Beasts, and three of them at that.
Commander Zhou said in a deep voice, "It seems..." Hundred Frost Nie Family probably received a lot of benefits from the Nie Family Headquarters … With Hundred Frost Nie Family's own strength, it should not be so powerful … "
"Then Commander Zhou, what should we do now?"
Commander Zhou lightly ordered, "After a night of fighting, I'm afraid everyone's morale isn't very good. Retreat five hundred miles and wait for us to regain our momentum before thinking of other ways."
Just then, a cultivator rushed into the tent from outside. He knelt in front of Commander Zhou and reported, "Reporting in! Report to Commander Zhou, Steward Shaw's situation is not looking good! "
When Commander Zhou heard that, he immediately stood up and said: "Steward Shaw?! What happened to Steward Shaw?! "
The cultivator said with a slightly trembling voice: "The three cultivators outside the tent came to report that their camp was attacked by Hundred Frost Nie Family last night. The entire camp was destroyed and most of the cultivators had already died in battle.
"Steward Shaw himself is still unknown?!"
This news greatly shocked everyone. Steward Shaw was one of the top three Chief Steward and was highly regarded by Liu Tie. No one would have thought that he would fall into such a situation.
"Hurry and call them in, I want to ask them!"
After receiving Commander Zhou's order, Nie Zhen, Ink Qilin, and Gui Gui trio rushed into the tent in a state of shock. When they saw Commander Zhou, they immediately cried and said: "I'll wait for you to pay your respects to Commander Zhou, Honorable Butler!" Commander Zhou! We were attacked by Hundred Frost Nie Family's men yesterday! The casualties are disastrous! "
When the crowd saw Nie Zhen and the others with disheveled hair and unkempt faces and panicked expressions, as well as faint traces of blood on their bodies, they immediately believed him. Only when they were attacked by a powerful warrior would they be in such a sorry state.1
Commander Zhou looked at Liu Tie and the others and asked with a serious face, "Where's Steward Shaw? Did he run away too? "
Nie Zhen pretended to be disheartened and said with a sullen face: "Last night, our faction was suddenly attacked by Hundred Frost Nie Family. Steward Shaw was crushed by a fifth stage Origin Stage spirit beast of all kinds last night, and then escaped under the pursuit of the enemy. "Steward Shaw ordered us to retreat before he left, but we were still chased by all kinds of people from the Hundred Frost Nie Family. Most of our compatriots were killed, but this small group of us managed to survive after fighting with our lives on the line.
Nie Zhen was very calm under Commander Zhou's questioning. However, his face showed a mixture of joy and frustration that came from surviving a disaster. He told Commander Zhou the answer that he had prepared beforehand.
