World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1927 - 871: Saving Di Nie! Sub-King Jiang Xue!

In the past month-long battle, both Di Nie and Na Xue mobilized armies exceeding ten million.

However, after the protracted war, both sides suffered countless casualties.

Within the defense line of Yun E Royal City, Di Nie only had over four million troops left, while Na Xue had only five million remaining.

Although Na Xue had more troops than Di Nie, her strength was inferior, especially in terms of powerhouses above the Demonic Martial Grandmaster level. Overall, Na Xue’s strength was only seventy percent of Di Nie’s.

However, after the split between Tiancha King and Di Nie, the Earth Rakshasa King also betrayed Princess Di Nie alongside Tiancha King, directly withdrawing over three million troops.

As a result, the troops of Di Nie within Yun E Royal City were down to only one million.

This million-strong army consisted of seven hundred thousand Witch Kingdom Samurai, one hundred ten thousand Winged Tribe Samurai, and the remaining two hundred thousand were prisoners from the Three Great Southern Barbarian Tribes and the Dichacha Clan. These elite warriors willingly followed Di Nie, not retreating with Tiancha King and Earth Rakshasa King.

Tiancha King and Earth Rakshasa King withdrew seventy percent of the forces, but merely in terms of strength, they only accounted for fifty percent of the original Dini Legion.

The remaining force of one hundred thousand troops within Yun E Royal City was the most elite.

Among the eight Demon Tribes in the Southern Barbaric Lands, the Tiancha tribe has over twenty Demon Saint Layer experts, the Dichacha Clan has more than ten, and even the Rakshasa Tribe has seven.

The tribe with the most Demon Saint Layer experts was not the Tiancha tribe but the Witch Kingdom, a floating realm in the sky, situated closest to the Ancient Demonic Bloodline. Because they reproduced through the Divine Demon Source Spring, their bloodline energy remained most intact.

The entire Witch Kingdom, though with a population not exceeding two million, owned an astounding forty-three Demon Saint Layer experts.

The Winged Tribe had merely tens of thousands of people, yet they were among the most elite forces, having maneuvered among the Northern Barbaric Lands and the Motuo Empire for decades. Despite not having a single Sub-King Layer powerhouse, as the second closest tribe to the Ancient Demons, the Winged Tribe still boasted over fourteen Demon Saints.

Combine the four Demon Saints from the Dichacha Clan who chose to follow Di Nie, and those absolutely loyal to Di Nie, the number of Demon Saint Layer experts reached a staggering sixty-one.

Unfortunately, during the past month-long battle, Di Nie’s side had eighteen Demon Saint casualties, including three from the Tiancha tribe. The loyal fallen Demon Saints of Di Nie totaled fifteen, so now Di Nie retained forty-six Demon Saint Layer experts by her side.

Hence, among Di Nie’s million-strong army, there were two Sub-King Layer powerhouses, forty-six Demon Saint Layer experts, a thousand Demon Lords, twenty thousand from the Demon Sect, and three hundred thousand Demon Martial Grandmasters.

Although the army was only a million strong, this force far exceeded the Lanling Flame Demon Empire multiple times.

And throughout the past month-long battle, the casualties of the Na Xue Legion were even greater, with a loss of twenty-three Demon Saint Layer experts, and over six hundred Demon Lords.

Currently, the Na Xue Legion also comprised two Sub-Kings, sixty-two Demon Saints, one thousand five hundred Demon Lords, twenty-nine thousand Demon Sect members, and over fifty thousand Demon Martial Grandmasters.

Together with the Tiancha King and Earth Rakshasa King, they similarly held two Sub-Kings, twenty-two Demon Saints, one thousand Demon Lords, twenty thousand from the Demon Sect, and a couple hundred thousand Demon Martial Grandmasters.

Now, the armies of Na Xue and Tiancha King surrounded Di Nie from the south and north, a daunting nine million force, whereas Di Nie only had one million.

Na Xue and Tiancha King combined had four Sub-King Layer powerhouses, while Di Nie had only two.

The Allied Army of Na Xue and Tiancha King held eighty-four Demon Saint Layer experts, whereas Di Nie had only forty-six.

The Allied Army had two thousand five hundred Demon Lords, while Di Nie possessed only one thousand.

In short, in terms of top-level Martial Arts power, Di Nie had only forty percent of her opponent’s strength. In terms of army numbers, Di Nie had merely a tenth of her opponent’s.

Thus, when converted into absolute strength comparison, it should be three to seven!

Moreover, this is Yun E Royal City, not the Witch Kingdom; there’s no Energy Array here, making this battle destined to fail.

...

After the two armies of Na Xue and Tiancha King completed the setup to flank Di Nie from south and north, they entered a new round of talks.

"Our alliance might cause Di Nie and Lanling to unite earlier," said Tiancha King. "In this case, Di Nie might change her strategy from decisive battle to breakout."

Na Xue furrowed her brows, "The Flame Demon Empire has an Energy Array, though it relies on Martial Artists for energy attacks as its energy source. However, the top-level Martial Arts force Di Nie possesses is overwhelmingly formidable. If Di Nie’s top-level Martial Arts Legion were to enter the Flame Demon Empire, the Energy Array there would display astonishing combat power."

Tiancha King stated, "Therefore, in this battle, we must wipe out Di Nie completely; under no circumstance can we allow her to break out, nor should we let Di Nie and Lanling unite earlier, which would be a colossal problem."

Na Xue agreed, "Indeed, we must annihilate Di Nie absolutely, permit no breakout, and especially prevent her alliance with Lanling!"

To bolster mutual trust, they adjusted the temporary alliance.

Tiancha King reinstated himself as the leader of the Tiancha Corps, and together with Princess Na Xue, they stood on equal footing, commanding jointly. Furthermore, Na Xue sent Emperor Di Ming to the Tiancha King’s forces, while Tiancha King sent the Crown Prince Tiancha to Na Xue’s army as an exchange of hostages.

After exchanging hostages, the two armies commenced tactical adjustments, shifting from the south-north flank to an encirclement from all four directions.

The two legions gradually closed in, seven hours later.

After finishing the encirclement, the nine million troops of both sides surrounded Yun E Royal City, sealing it tightly.
