When Lin Qu's head was chopped off by Yan Ci and his broken body fell to the ground, Anyuan City screamed from inside and outside.

It's just that one side is cheering, while the other side is full of despair.

Yan Ci fluttered its wings and flew over Anyuan City. The gray head of Lin Qu in his hands was still bleeding. He looked down and saw that the entire Anyuan garrison began to collapse.

Some people knelt down and begged for surrender, and some fled into the city. Of course, there were also officers who organized soldiers to fight back, but in front of the surging Snake-People army, they were nothing more than bubbles that shattered at a touch.

I patted the railing gently, looked away from Anyuan City's head, and looked towards the horizon in the distance.

The sun has already sunk more than half into the ground, night is pouring in from all directions, and the temperature at the edge of Tagor Desert is dropping sharply.

From the morning when the two thousand Anyuan defenders who had been lured out of the city were killed, to this time, in just one day and five battles, this Chuyun Empire strongest pass in the north had been breached.

I don't know if Snake-People Tribe is too powerful, or if Cloudrise Empire's army is too weak?

Looking at the masses of Snake-People corpses looming under the city, the Cloudrise Empire army is probably not weak...

Because it was dark, the Snake-People army did not enter Anyuan City randomly - the terrain inside the city was complex, and the Anyuan defenders still retained considerable strength. If they were stopped by a powerful general, they might be ambushed.

Therefore, Snake-People only left 10,000 troops to control the northern city wall, while the rest retreated to the camp outside the city.

Snake-People Central Army In the big tent, the lights are bright, Yan Ci has returned, and many Snake-People generals are also there. I don't know if they are discussing the next war, or have already celebrated in advance?

There is only a crescent moon in the sky tonight, and in the dim light, I can only vaguely see the outline of Anyuan City. At this time, what is happening in that city?

There must have been many broken troops who secretly escaped from Anyuan City under the cover of night. Perhaps there were also some remaining generals who were gathering their remaining soldiers in an attempt to rely on the buildings in the city to engage in street fighting with the Snake-People army in order to delay Snake-People's march south?

As soon as the second Ri Tian lighted up, the Snake-People army sent three thousand Snake-People carefully into the city and gradually advanced along the streets.

There was no movement at first, but after entering a third of the city, ambushes appeared everywhere, emerging from every corner, either shooting from a distance with bows and crossbows, or fighting at close quarters!

A street fight suddenly broke out.

I stood in the building Corner Tower at the top of the Anyuan North City Wall that had been captured, looking down at the city with a calm look in my eyes.

Compared with yesterday's siege battle, today's street battle undoubtedly seemed a bit petty, and it was just a desperate struggle.

But I still couldn't help but sigh. There was Chen Qi in front of me, and Lin Qu behind me. Now, who is gathering the broken troops in the city to stop Snake-People from going south?

It is indeed too difficult to destroy an empire that has lasted for hundreds of years.

My eyes suddenly turned cold. No matter how difficult Chuyun Empire is, it must be defeated. Because this is a war, a life-and-death war!

At this time, Battle Situation also experienced changes, because the Snake-People army began to pour reinforcements into the city, not large groups of reinforcements, but elite squads.

An elite team led by one Da Dou Shi and assisted by a dozen Dou Master.

There were dozens of such squads. They shuttled through the streets, constantly rushing to support the three thousand Snake-People who entered the city first, and accurately and effectively killed the stubborn defenders in the city.

It's just that this speed was too slow. It wasn't until the night of the third day that the remaining troops in Anyuan City evacuated under the thick of night because they couldn't bear the losses.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the Snake-People army officially entered Anyuan City - it took one day to defeat the defenders, but it took two days to clear out the remaining troops. This is an irony.

But everything finally went smoothly. One part of the one hundred thousand Snake-People army stayed behind Anyuan City, while the rest began to attack on both sides.

Just like Gamma Empire Northern Region, Chuyun Empire's northern defense line cannot only have one Anyuan City, but also other passes to support it.

It took more than ten days before the entire Cloudrise Empire northern border pass was completely occupied by the Snake-People Tribe.

And the number of troops at the Snake-People Tribe and Tagor·Cloudrise Empire borders has reached 400,000!

One hundred thousand Snake-People were left to garrison the border gate that originally belonged to the Chuyun Empire, and the remaining three hundred thousand Snake-People began to move south to capture the city of the Chuyun Empire.

These battles are not important, because Chuyun Empire's army has all been invested in the Cloudrise Empire·Jia Ma Empire battlefield, leaving the country empty.

The Chuyun Empire Northern Region border army has also been defeated by the Snake-People Tribe. Although many troops escaped, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Those cities can only be defended by a few Local Army teams and aristocratic sects at most. Compared to the Snake-People army, they are nothing more than eggshells that will break into pieces when knocked.

Our eyes fell on--"Yushui City".

"The dividing line between the Chuyun Empire Northern Region and the middle realm is the Qiyue Mountain Range-Luan River Basin line. Qiyue Mountain Range is in the east and Luan River Basin is in the west. The two places form a natural barrier that is difficult for our clan to overcome."

In the Council Hall in Anyuan City, Yue Mei has arrived here from Snake-People Holy City. A Snake-People general is relying on a large military map to explain the Battle Situation situation to many Snake-People senior officials in the Yue Mei Hall.

He pointed at a river between the two areas and said, "Your Majesty, if our clan wants to go south to attack Chuyun City, the best choice is to go south along the Yushui River between the two areas."

"Yushui River runs north-south. Not only can our army travel down the river by boat, but with the power of the river's water transport, the logistical pressure on our army can also be greatly reduced."

Yue Mei nodded and said, "It's just that Yushui River is so important, Chuyun Empire will definitely gather heavy troops for defense, right?"

The general nodded and pointed his finger at an inconspicuous small town by the Yushui River. His face became serious and he said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, this is the city--Yushui City!"

"This city may seem small in size, but with the Yushui River as a pool and Jing Mountain as a plug, it completely strangles the land of the Yushui River."

"If our clan wants to follow Yushui River and go south, we must first attack this city!"

I was also standing in the lobby. Although it was only a corner, I could hear clearly and my eyes fell on the small city.

Now Chuyun Empire's domestic troops are empty and unable to defend the entire huge Northern Region.

If their senior leaders were not stupid, they would definitely abandon the entire Northern Region and gather all their forces to defend the Yushui City line. In this way, they would try to contain the Snake-People Tribe army to the north of the Qiyue Mountain Range-Luan River Basin.

Then transfer the army back from the Jia Ma Empire·Cloudrise Empire battlefield, then go north to attack Snake-People Tribe, and retake the entire Northern Region.

It seems that the next focus of attack is Yushui City.

But the next moment, a battle report made everyone in the hall frown.

"Urgent report, more than 8,000 Yan Leng Commandant's troops who attacked Tiantu City... the whole army has been wiped out!"
