With the appearance of the Devil Race's demon god army, the rout of the Devil Race's forces was halted at once. Demon Emperor Second Crown Prince Zhui Ri and Demon Emperor Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun began redeploying their defenses.
In truth, the two of them had simply been rather unlucky.
When the Ancestral God Hall's Holy Priest army had set out this time, including the two of them, there had originally been three directions of attack.
The Demon Emperor had sent his main forces, which had long been tightly pinned down near Jiangzhou by Prince Li Ji Yuan and the Great Zhou central Four Symbols Legion. That should also have been one of the Ancestral God Hall Holy Priests' directions of attack.
However, in the earlier battles, the Ancestral God Hall's Holy Priests had clearly shown no intention of attacking in that direction. In the end, only Demon Emperor Second Crown Prince Zhui Ri and Demon Emperor Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun had drawn the short straw.
Meanwhile, after gaining several days of breathing room, the Great Zhou Army following behind the Ancestral God Hall Holy Priests had begun occupying all of Qingzhou and Yunzhou. More than half of Luzhou and Huzhou had also been captured, and troops had begun to be split off to garrison them.
Thus, the situation became one of interlocking teeth.
The shape of the war changed drastically as a result.
Before Creation Realm experts entered the war, these mortal armies had their own ways of fighting.
But as large numbers of Creation Realm experts joined the battle, the nature of the war changed completely.
Mortal armies had to be guarded or protected by Creation Realm experts. Otherwise, a surprise assault by a Creation Realm squad of more than ten people could destroy an army
