Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors-Chapter 564 - 283: The New Dynasty_3

At this moment, if Feilian had also shown itself and directly attacked the battlements of Linyuan City, destroying a large number of player cannons and defenses, then perhaps there might actually have been a chance to win the battle.

But...

Once failure ensued, the consequences would have been unbearable.

This place was the most core historical slice of the entire Qi Dynasty, and could also be considered as the core area of the entire dynasty.

Although the true forms of these great demons were in the ancient slices, it was with their avatars that they guarded the core historical slices of these dynasties; but these avatars, on the contrary, concentrated the majority of their power.

The avatars held over seventy percent of their total demonic strength!

The reason was simple: they had to allocate most of their power to their avatars to ensure that these historical slices wouldn’t be breached.

Otherwise, giving only twenty to thirty percent of their power would have been in vain, serving no purpose in holding the historical slices.

If Feilian truly joined the battle at this time, then its avatar would have been unable to escape destruction.

It would either defeat the Restorer, or its avatar would be completely sacrificed here.

And the loss of up to seventy to eighty percent of its original body’s power would not only mean instant disability for itself but also allow the Restorer to further transform and explosively increase their righteous Qi and power...

The consequences of failure were something it could not afford.

Although based on the current situation, just appearing and attacking the cannons on the city walls could reverse the tide of battle, who knew if this would be another trap laid by that cunning Restorer?

Perhaps that sly Restorer had already made some special arrangement on the city walls?

In any case, Feilian, who was already being thoroughly trounced, had completely discarded any hope for luck.

It was, after all, a demon adept at fleeing and preserving itself; helping Xingtian once was already the ultimate act of kindness, so asking it to take such a huge risk for Xingtian now was absolutely impossible.

Time to slip away!

Xingtian, barraged by relentless artillery, roared furiously, "Feilian! You shameless little demon!

"If you flee, just wait and see how you’ll explain yourself to the Demon Lord!"

Feilian, dodging through the sky, pondered and then sighed lightly, "Fine, I’ll leave you some Demonic Qi. Make your own luck."

Originally, it was carrying a great deal of black Qi, but now, it scattered a good amount back.

It allocated some of its power, leaving it in this historical slice for Xingtian to control.

After that, it turned and fled without hesitation.

The threat from Xingtian did indeed have some effect.

Even if Xingtian perished in battle now, what it would lose was just an avatar that held seventy to eighty percent of its own strength.

The true form of Xingtian remained.

Since the Demon Emperor Chi You would ultimately learn of the situation here, Feilian had to think of an excuse to shift the blame.

If it fled carrying a huge amount of Demonic Qi, taking away most of its power, then after Xingtian’s defeat, the blame would inevitably fall upon Feilian’s head.

At that point, it would be difficult to provide an explanation to Demon Emperor Chi You.

Thus, Feilian begrudgingly left behind a significant portion of its power, taking only a small part of the Demonic Qi to escape. At least it could say that it fled after seeing the situation was beyond salvageable.

Losing less was ultimately better.

As for why it still decided to leave...

Clearly, it aimed to preserve as much of its own strength as possible, provided Demon Emperor Chi You would not hold it accountable.

Among demons, the so-called great demons possessed revered status, but in the end, this was because they wielded a vast amount of Demonic Qi. Should their Demonic Qi be depleted, their status would naturally plummet.

Therefore, Feilian would rather risk being dealt with by the Demon Lord than waste its precious avatar here.

After some calculation, it found what it believed to be a perfect compromise.

...

"Feilian!!"

Xingtian bellowed in rage, and yet Feilian had slipped away without looking back.

Fortunately, Feilian still left behind a portion of its demonic power before its departure, which allowed Xingtian’s body to swell once again.

With the pressure of the mighty righteous Qi and under the onslaught of the players’ cannon fire, a once again enlarged Xingtian managed to still hold up its great shield and step towards the battlements of Linyuan City!

But the formerly ferocious demon now seemed to have a sense of being at the end of its rope.

How could the valiant dragon cavalry have been all sent to their doom?

Meng Yuan, who was observing from high above, sighed softly.

"Pity, Feilian ran away.

"If Feilian had made a move, we could have trapped it as well. After all, a Restorer doesn’t stumble in the same place twice."

Learning from the previous lesson when Feilian had fled with Xingtian, Meng Yuan had this time deliberately made numerous arrangements across the entire historical slice where the Restorer’s fortress was situated, aiming to completely trap the two great demons.

Having lost an avatar that held seventy to eighty percent of their strength, even if the two great demons didn’t perish, they were essentially crippled.

It was just that Feilian, truly worthy of its title as an expert in escaping, didn’t even set foot in the fray, choosing to bolt at the first sign of danger.

Fortunately for Meng Yuan, Feilian still left behind a part of its Demonic Qi before it fled, which was somewhat acceptable.

As it continued to step forward, Xingtian’s body still swelled incessantly.

The Demonic Qi from the surrounding demons was completely drained, continuously pouring into its body!

Now that the great demon had shown itself, dispersing Demonic Qi was pointless.

If Xingtian didn’t consolidate the Demonic Qi, then after the Restorer vanquished it, the remaining demon soldiers wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble.

But... the outcome after consolidating the Demonic Qi was the same.
