With the assistance of the Five Divine Beasts’ Dharma Laksana, the morale of the Militia Army instantly soared.

They quickly stabilized their formation and coordinated with the Five Divine Beasts to fiercely battle the remaining Demonic Beasts.

The Governor, holding the telescope, was astonished on the city wall, "Is a mage casting a spell?"

The Great General responded, "I reckon so!"

The Governor said gloomily, "Why didn’t he cast spells earlier, our tens of thousands of Military Supervisors could have been saved!"

The Great General said, "Victory and defeat are common among military strategists, Governor, don’t be upset. Now that we have the help of the Five Divine Beasts, should we proactively assist these militias?"

Earlier, the Military Supervisors suffered a crushing defeat, and the entire army was wiped out.

The Great General feared that if word spread, his reputation would be damaged and he would be punished by the Imperial Court.

At this moment, a proactive attack could still earn a battle merit.

The Governor admonished, "Without my orders, no one should act on their own. You all are the pillars of Great Tang, how can you easily exhaust yourselves against Demon Soldiers? Let the Great Mercy and Great Virtue Master and the militia worry about it! Let’s defend the city here, and in the end, the credit will still be ours."

The Great General’s mouth twitched slightly; he did not trust the civil officials’ words.

If there were truly problems later, he had no doubt the Governor would sell him out.

Although the Five Divine Beasts were stationed in five directions, Demon Soldiers attacked from all sides, still fiercely battling with the militias.

At that moment, suddenly a golden light flashed in the sky, hovering mid-air like a disc.

From beneath the disc, flames erupted, suddenly spraying a massive pillar of light into the Demon Clan ranks.

The pillar of light was scorching, as if a violent sun exploded in the sky.

With a booming sound, it illuminated the four corners of the world.

A gigantic shockwave rose from below, blasting dust skyward.

The surging shockwave rolled out in all directions, sweeping the entire ground beneath the Demon Clan’s feet.

A dozen Demon Kings didn’t react quickly enough, instantly turning into floating ash.

The Demon Clan within a radius of a thousand meters below was swept by this immense shockwave, under the dual effects of heat and impact, all turned into blue smoke rising skyward.

All the soldiers on the city wall exclaimed in shock, "What kind of magical treasure is that?"

The Governor was also wide-eyed, repeatedly shouting, "Could it be a Heavenly God descended?"

The Demon Clan was terrified, their courage shattered by this strike.

Though there were still six hundred thousand Demonic Beasts on the field, their morale was scattered, and all panicked, tucking their tails.

At that moment, a white-robed general led a unit on horseback, holding the Aurora Flame Blade given by Long Fei, raised a dust as they charged out of the city with shouts of war.

Although numbering only a thousand, they were all equipped with these magical weapons.

Before the cavalry had contact with the Demon Clan flanks, the large knives in their hands aimed at the Demon Clan, and released a series of golden impact beams.

The Demonic Beasts hundreds of meters away, whether thin or fat, under this barrage were pulverized one by one.

When the flank was disrupted, the entire Demonic Beast Army crumbled from that side, and with a mournful cry, fled in all directions.

The white-robed general pursued the Demonic Beasts, swinging his knife to carve a bloody path and joined forces with the Five Militia Army.

The Five Militia Leaders exclaimed excitedly, "May I ask which forces the general belongs to?"

The white-robed general shouted loudly, "I am the Guard Captain under the Great Mercy and Great Virtue Master, Xue Renyi!"

The leaders of the Five Militia Armies exclaimed excitedly, "It’s truly the Great Mage; he hasn’t forgotten us."

Xue Renyi wielded his knife and shouted, "The Demon Clan has temporarily retreated, follow me to Jintang District to take refuge!"

The leaders of the Five Militia Army unanimously shouted, "Subordinate obeys orders!"

In a life-and-death rescue, the leaders of the Five Militia Army and the militia soldiers were naturally incredibly grateful.

The Governor anxiously watched, "Where are they going?"

On the battlefield, a group of militia army was arrayed heading west.

The Great General glanced at the direction and said, "It should be Jintang District!"

The Governor cursed angrily, "These fools, how dare they not heed the military orders. Without my command, how could they act so hastily?"

The Great General also said anxiously, "My lord, we must stop them, shouldn’t we? This Great Mage wants to descend the mountain to pluck peaches; if the militia goes to him, today’s battle merits will all belong to him."

The Governor quickly ordered, "Quick, sound the drums of retreat, get them all back to Shu State City for me!"

The Great General clasped his fists in obedience, waving the command banner.

Suddenly, the city walls erupted in the sound of drums, rumbling resonantly and continuously.

This was the sound of retreat drums, but the militia didn’t even glance at the city walls.

They continued following Xue Renyi towards Jintang District.

The eyes of the Demonic Beast Army were fixed on them, but with the Five Divine Beasts on the ground and a Golden Disc in the sky, they didn’t dare act.

The Governor was furious and cursed, "Rebellious! Hurry, send men to block them?"

The Great General said with difficulty, "The Demon Clan Army hasn’t retreated, if we rashly dispatch troops, we might encounter a mishap like last time!"

The Governor angrily slapped the city wall and said, "These cunning tricks! Let us train militia for so long only to have them win hearts on the battlefield, aligning the militia for their use. After all our hardships, we’ve ultimately sewn the wedding dress for this scoundrel!"

The Great General said bitterly, "Should we file a report against him before Empress Wu?"

The Governor replied, "How to report? Everything he’s done is within reason. It’s us who first feared battle and were defeated; if the Shu King reports it, we won’t escape punishment!"

The Great General knew things wouldn’t turn out well and repeatedly asked, "Then what should we do?"

The Governor said, "No rush, wait for the Demon Soldiers to retreat first, then we can discuss things with the mage. We cannot report against him, and he cannot act against us!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

The Great General nodded repeatedly, his heart full of bitterness.

The death of tens of thousands of Military Supervisors, if this performance reached the Imperial Court, someone would have to take responsibility.

Wu Youren, being the Empress’ brother, would likely be spared.

The Great Mage, currently at the height of his power, and having saved tens of millions of disaster victims in Shu State, would surely be fine as well.

Accounting for everything, only he was left to bear the brunt of the blame.

He knew civil officials’ words were unreliable; he should have proactively attacked earlier to earn some reputation within the army.

Now observing from the sidelines, not saving fellow soldiers, left a very negative impression among the soldiers.

In Jintang District, the golden flying object slowly descended amidst the gazes of the disaster victims.

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya stood below, smiling lightly at the big guy.

He had been waiting here for almost three months, not expecting them to arrive only now.

The hundred-meter golden disc opened its gateway, Chu Feng led the way out.

Murong Chong, Wang Jie, Bald Dog, Ground Rat Demon King, Da Heiniu, Old Lvv, and Six-Eared Monkey were all present.

Behind came fairy-like Kong Qing, Chang Xi, and Taida of Barbarian King Star together.

Upon seeing Long Fei, they were all overjoyed, going over one by one to embrace him.

Jin Wu was the last to descend; earlier he supported the militia on Long Fei’s orders.

Initially, they had landed earlier, contacted Long Fei, and then circled in front of Shu State again.

Upon meeting, they were like hungry wolves wanting Long Fei to first take out some food to eat.

In that lost world, they had consumed all the things they carried.
