Chapter 435: Fame Shakes the Eastern Region, Eve of the Decisive Battle
When Lan Chang'an returned to the frontline stronghold, True Monarch Fang had already led the demonic army to retreat in an orderly manner, withdrawing dozens of li away.
Clearly, they had received news of the battle at Yuanliu City and no longer dared to continue fighting.
“True Monarch Lan, we have completed our duty.”
Several Core Formation cultivators in charge of defending the city came forward to report and returned the puppets previously entrusted to them.
Having lost their fourth-rank demon king, a demonic army led by only a single Nascent Soul cultivator had failed to breach the stronghold in a short time.
“Well done. I will request merit for you.”
Lan Chang'an put away several slightly damaged puppets without complaint, then smiled and asked:
“How did the puppets perform in the defense?”
“Reporting to True Monarch, third-rank puppets are highly effective for defending the city. Though they consume a great number of spirit stones, they greatly reduce casualties.”
“Unfortunately, such high-grade puppets are too rare. During wartime, they’re practically priceless.”
The Core Formation cultivators were very satisfied with the performance of the third-rank puppets.
