Just when Marquis Chang Yun was about to break the city, the demon army came after him again.
"They really dare to chase after them!" Chang Yunhou was also frightened. He could only arrange a group of people to intercept, and then continued to escape with the remaining people.
"Divide 50,000 troops, kill the intercepting team, and continue the pursuit with the rest."
Ye Liuyun immediately issued the order, and then rushed over with the monsters around him to help kill the opposing team responsible for intercepting.
Chang Yunhou saw that he could not get rid of the demon army behind him, so he arranged several interception teams on the way, and finally slowed down the pace of the demons' pursuit.
When they arrived at the next city, they were not turned away, but they also discovered that the teleportation array in the south was indeed cut off.
"What should we do?" Chang Yunhou was also confused. He did not expect to encounter such a situation.
While he sent soldiers to the next city to connect to the teleportation array, he also arranged defense based on the city here.
However, shortly after the soldiers he sent out of the city, they were intercepted and killed by a mercenary group, so he could only send a few more groups to rush out.
However, the people he sent out were all chased by various mercenary groups along the way. Finally, a group of soldiers entered the next city and were killed by the mercenaries in the city.
At this time, Ye Liuyun's demon army began to gather under the city again, preparing to attack the city. The walls of this small city could not withstand the bombardment of fire chariots.
Just when Ye Liuyun and the others started to attack the city, the mercenaries in the city suddenly attacked them, causing chaos in many of their armies, and they were unable to concentrate on resisting.
Ye Liuyun did not fight head-on at all, but relied on firepower to advance steadily with his chariot, blasting all obstructions to the ground, and drove Chang Yunhou's army out of the city bit by bit, and then let the demon army
Start to surround and kill them.
As a result, when Marquis Chang Yun escaped this time, there were less than 50,000 people left with him.
Ye Liuyun, after cleaning up the battlefield, immediately led the demon army in pursuit.
When Marquis Chang Yun led the defeated troops to the next city, the result was the same. The teleportation array had been destroyed in advance and could not be used at all.
In desperation, he could only continue to escape, and now he no longer dared to rely on the city to defend.
Along the way, they often encountered sneak attacks by mercenary teams, which forced them to be constantly vigilant and highly nervous.
In this way, they fled all the way to Black Cloud City. But they didn't expect that when they arrived in Black Cloud City, the teleportation arrays were all the same. They were all destroyed and could not be used at all.
After they arrived at Black Cloud City, they were besieged by the entire city as soon as they entered the city. A large number of mercenary masters rushed out, and the tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city were not weak at all.
This sudden attack wiped out most of Chang Yun Hou's 50,000 soldiers. In the end, Chang Yun Hou escaped with only dozens of people under the desperate protection of his guards.
After Ye Liuyun got the news, he immediately sent the demon army back, while he led the people around him to continue the pursuit.
Moreover, Chang Yunhou's next journey was even more difficult, with mercenary groups constantly intercepting them. In the end, they were finally caught up by Ye Liuyun, who beheaded them.
Even to his death, Marquis Chang Yun did not understand why everything went wrong for him after arriving in the south.
"From the moment you decided to send troops to the south, your fate was determined."
Ye Liuyun was referring to the fact that he had become the cannon fodder of the central dynasty at that time. However, he did not understand what Ye Liuyun meant until his death.
Ye Liuyun just said this and sent him on his way. Then he hung Marquis Chang Yun's head on the flying boat and drove directly back to Pingyang Pass.
After he returned, he did not ask Du Hansong to surrender, nor did he ask the demon army to advance.
But Du Hansong directly disbanded the army and surrendered to Ye Liuyun. Song Qing also did the same. Du Hansong decided to surrender, and he had nothing to rely on. If he continued to resist, he would not even be able to save his life.
"For the sake of your voluntary surrender, I will not kill you. You hand over all the resources in your hands and find a place to retire on your own!"
Ye Liuyun really didn't kill them. The two of them surrendered voluntarily, but the soldiers on both sides died a lot less, which can be regarded as some merit.
The rest is much simpler.
The demon army walked around the city and announced that the southern dynasty would be taken over by the demons. Those who did not accept the management would leave directly. If anyone dared to lead the people in the city to resist, the demon army would massacre the city.
Wherever the demon army went, the local mercenary groups immediately disappeared. Without the support of these martial artists, some city lords who wanted to resist were powerless and had no choice but to surrender.
And all the chambers of commerce in each city, except for the Chengyuan Chamber of Commerce, were robbed by the demon army. Some chambers of commerce went to the army to protest, but as a result they were either directly killed by the demons, or they were not able to see the leader at all.
.
Soon all the southern part was taken under the control of the demons. The Chengyuan Chamber of Commerce also borrowed the money and dominated the entire southern market.
At this time, the Zhongxing Dynasty pretended to send people to negotiate. At first, they wanted to intimidate them, saying that the Central Dynasty would send troops to attack them.
Ye Liuyun asked the negotiating demons to tear several of the people responsible for the negotiations alive before they became completely honest.
The result of the final negotiation was not what Ye Liuyun expected. As long as the demons still obey the management of the central dynasty, the matter will be abandoned.
So Ye Liuyun finally relied on the demons to control the entire southern dynasty in his own hands.
Afterwards, he gathered all the mercenaries and handed over the southern part to the demons for management. He took the Wolfhunting mercenary group back to the military camp and added these mercenaries to the army.
When Yu Xiaofeng asked about the situation in the south, Ye Liuyun still downplayed: "It went much smoother than I expected. The mercenaries I prepared were not used, and the central dynasty accepted the status quo. It seems that they are also strong on the outside and cadre on the inside, and their strength is unstable.
!”
"What about us?" Yu Xiaofeng also asked Ye Liuyun.
"Speed ​​up the pace, and after sweeping the surrounding planets, we will head towards the Western Dynasty. I will go to the Western Dynasty first and talk to Yueying's father first." Ye Liuyun also replied.
"I suggest you take some people and destroy the Thousand Spirits Sect first. This will give you some leverage for negotiation! It also prevents those guys from causing trouble for you when they know you have returned!" Yu Xiaofeng also suggested.
"Well, this method is really good!" Ye Liuyun also thought that Yu Xiaofeng's suggestion was good. He immediately selected 300 mercenaries at the ninth level and 200 mercenaries at the seventh and eighth levels, gathered 500 people, and returned to the Western Dynasty
.
As soon as Ye Liuyun mentioned returning to the Western Dynasty, Chen Yueying realized that Ye Liuyun might take action against the Western Dynasty, so she was worried every day.
When Tang Xinyao saw Chen Yueying's worried look, she simply asked Ye Liuyun to talk to Chen Yueying directly first, so that she would not be on pins and needles all day long.
