The sky was full of stars, and the heavy bronze door of the council hall was closed, like a groaning beast in the night, waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.

Chen Hai, Fu Shaoqun, Qin Qian, Jiang Mingchuan, Jiang Pei and others stood in the square in front of the council hall and waited, waiting for the final result.

Fu Shaoqun looked worriedly at the side of the council hall from time to time, as if digging out some clues from the thick bronze door and the defensive spirit cover with the flow of spiritual waves, but it was a pity that there was no breath leaking out of the council hall, who could guess what kind of battle between heaven and man was going through between the Lie King and many true monarchs at this time.

At this time, hundreds of miles away, Wu Zhidong was still struggling to retreat, but unfortunately the Rakshasa demon soldiers obviously had more ideas, they had already forced the elite of more than 200,000 people into a valley, and more and more demon soldiers came from behind, like a patient glutton, watching the prey in his hand struggle, showing desperate eyes, and then preparing to enjoy the delicious food slowly.

One after another, distress messages flew across the sky and towards the council hall.

It's not particularly difficult to rescue, but what if the Rakshasa Demon Clan has other plans, and the soldiers and horses who went to pick up are trapped again?

Mengcheng Mountain, which was already weak, was obviously far from having a higher status in the heart of the Lie King Qin Ran at this moment, and for the Wu clan who were involved in the fetal theft case and had difficulty gaining a foothold in Wanxian Mountain, and wanted to cling to the Lie King Qin Ran and vainly trying to establish their own gateway in the Northwest Regions, Ji Jiangye, Jiang Yin, Qin Hushan and others did not have any good impression of them.

Later, the edict for help could not even fly into the council hall.

Fu Shaoqun has been fighting for several days in a row, and his body and mind have already been exhausted to the limit, and at the beginning of returning to Xinyan City, coupled with the involvement of troubles, he did not say a word except for worrying about the situation in Yongjing.

Now that a few hours have passed, he has recovered a little in spirit, and asked Chen Hai in a heavy tone: "We still don't know what the specific situation is ahead, but the defense line of Gulan Mountain has been torn apart, and the plan to control Tianluo Valley and conquer the Blood Cloud Wasteland must be temporarily abandoned, and most of the defense line in the northwest region will be shrunk to Demon Deer Mountain...... Brother Chen may be able to prepare early......"

In a short period of time, the Xuanyuan Upper Hall will no longer be a threat to Yanzhou, but with such a grim situation, the Northwest Regions and Chongguo are in danger of being destroyed at any time, which is not what Fu Shaoqun wants to see, and it is definitely not what Chen Hai wants to see......

Chen Hai knew what Fu Shaoqun meant.

The situation was so critical that the Lie King Qin Ran and Zhu Zhenjun discussed withdrawing their troops at this time, and it was impossible to take into account the millions of battalions and soldiers gathered in Xinyan City, nor could they take into account the millions of exiled prisoners who had been placed between Beiling City and Mozhang Ridge in the past few years.

Although the southern retreat of the demon army cannot be achieved overnight, there are only a few main gallop routes, and it is definitely necessary to give priority to maintaining the retreat of the main force of soldiers and horses, and even if the main force of soldiers and horses is not cavalry, there are more camels and horses that save foot strength, and they have few cultivation in the middle and late stages of the Xuan Realm, and the speed of retreat is bound to be much faster than that of the battalion soldiers, and it is not beyond the reach of the millions of exiled prisoners placed in the Demon Deer Ridge before.

Fu Shaoqun also couldn't take into account the millions of exiled prisoners around Beiling City and to the Demon Deer Ridge, he knew that Chen Hai had spent a lot of effort in the camp of the camp in the past few years, and let Chen Hai prepare early, that is, let Chen Hai first quietly gather the descendants of the camp soldiers, and retreat with the main force first, so as not to be entangled by the demon soldiers who were killed from Tianluo Valley, so that years of hard work were ruined.

Many generals at the rank of lieutenant came worriedly, and left worriedly, Chen Hai also knew that the news had spread out at this time, and many military camps in Xinyancheng and nearby fortresses were preparing to open the camp, and people were panicking.

Chen Hai frowned tightly and said to Fu Shaoqun: "Let's see what His Highness decides, Chen Hai obeys His Highness's orders in everything." ”

Jiang Pei and Jiang Mingchuan turned their heads to look at Chen Hai, although they were ashamed that Chen Hai had not forgotten to flatter King Lie at this time, but in the current grim situation, they did not have the heart to sneer at Chen Hai.

The sky gradually turned blue, and there was a sudden slight shock in the sky, and the soundproof magic circle that had shrouded the council hall all night finally dispersed, and at this time, the heavy bronze door of the council hall hit the door again, and the generals at the level of the commander and the chief officer entered the deliberations, in fact, they directly announced the decision.

There are more than 600 counties in the world, all of which are dedicated to Yongjing and the Qin clan as Zhengshuo, and when he is replaced, this Zhengshuo can be respected from afar, and he can not send troops, and the bosses of the three sects can sit down and discuss slowly, but the Lie King leads the demon army here, if the three sects are still perfunctory, even if the Lie King Qin Ran does not reprimand anything, and indulges the military discipline a little in the process of withdrawing the army, it can also make the three sects suffer heavy losses.

And how can the three sects be sure that Yongjing will not be able to hold it? and how can they be sure that the Lie King will no longer lead a large army from the Northwest Regions to attack the Blood Cloud Wasteland and recapture the ancient relics left behind in the Liuyang Palace?

Therefore, King Lie and Zhu Zhenjun made a decision behind closed doors, the three sects will gather the sixteen floating warships currently in their hands, gather 20,000 sword cultivators and Fu cultivators from the three sects, and the 40,000 sword cultivation battalion and Fu Xiu battalion, the most elite of the demon army, will be organized as the first reinforcements, led by Ji Yuanchuan and Fu Siyuan, and go to aid Yongjing as soon as possible, as much as possible with the elite of the Tianqi Battalion who stayed in Yongjing, suppress the activities of the demon cavalry in the Zhongzhou Great Plains, and reduce the resistance to the other pillar generals' mansions to rush to aid Yongjing.

And the four million elites in Nanzhen and Beizhen drove out overnight, and galloped south under the personal leadership of the Liewang - whether it was the Demon Army or the Wind and Flame Airship of the Returning Heavenly Camp City, the Liewang had to requisition all of them this time, so as to ensure the speed of the advancement of the soldiers and horses as much as possible, and not be slowed down by too many supplies.

Chen Hai has no objection to this, even if he has objections in his heart, he will not show it, if the Lie King Qin Ran can ask in person, he will already treat him as the number one person, otherwise he will be directly requisitioned, and he will have nothing to say.

Considering that the Demon Clan's plan is by no means a hasty plan for three or five years, and the Gulan Mountain defense line is not something that one or two million elite demon soldiers can break through suddenly, the Lie King and Zhu Zhenjun The preliminary estimate of the scale of the elite demon soldiers invaded by these demons is about five or six million, and with the tearing of the Gulan Mountain defense line and the complete collapse of the Northeast Defense Line, it is unimaginable that a large number of miscellaneous demons can enter the hinterland of the Northeast Domain to devour the blood and food of living beings, and get rapid growth, coupled with the continuous influx of follow-up demon soldiers, it is difficult for everyone to estimate the final scale of the invasion of the Demon Race.

——Considering that the reinforcements of the generals of the other pillar states may find various excuses to delay, the Lie King asked the Northwest Regions to immediately organize reinforcements to go south at the same time, regardless of whether they were coerced or lured, or whether the three sects agreed or not.

And King Lie also designated this task to be undertaken by Jiang Yin, Ji Jiangye, and Qin Hushan, and after packing up, he led his disciples to the south, and gathered the soldiers and horses of the towns in the south of the Northwest Regions near the Wantao River, ready to lead the soldiers and horses of the towns in the south of the Northwest Regions at any time, cross the Wantao River, and enter the Great Plain of Zhongzhou for reinforcements.

Of course, the northern border defense line of the Northwest Regions still has to be defended.

Once the Zhongzhou Great Plain was invaded by the demons and became a battlefield for the human and demon races, the supply system that Yongjing relied on in the Zhongzhou Great Plain in the past was completely destroyed, and at this time, the king Qin Ran continued to lead reinforcements into the Zhongzhou Great Plain to fight, and the logistics supply depended more on the supply of the Northwest Regions, so naturally the hinterland of the Northwest Regions must not be infiltrated by countless demon soldiers and miscellaneous demons.

In that case, the situation is completely bad.

Judging from the current situation, once the Lie King leads the main force of the demon army to the south, Jiang Yin will also draw some elite troops from the south to reinforce Yongjing at any time, then the defense of the hinterland of the Northwest Regions will be empty, and retreating to the Demon Deer Ridge and consolidating the defense line of the Demon Deer Ridge is the most pragmatic choice for the Northwest Regions.

If there are not enough soldiers and horses to take care of Beiling City and Xinyan City, all the fortresses north of Demon Deer Ridge that have been in operation for more than ten years need to be abandoned, and as many people and materials as possible need to be withdrawn to Demon Deer Ridge in the shortest possible time.

And Yuan Zhou, the sect master of the Xuanhuang Palace, and Jiang Jin, the sect master of the Jade Emperor Peak of Wanxian Mountain, will stay behind and be responsible for presiding over the defense of the Demon Deer Ridge.

This is a decision that the Lie King Qin Ran has negotiated with Zhu Zhenjun, and Chen Hai and them can only follow it, and they have no qualifications to question it.

After King Liegao sat on the jade case, he ruthlessly issued military orders one after another, and as Fu Shaoqun expected, the withdrawal of all the horses north of the Demon Deer Ridge must give priority to ensuring that the main forces of Nanzhen and Beizhen go south as quickly as possible, and the nearly one million battalions of soldiers assembled in Xinyancheng are arranged in the final retreat sequence.

After promulgating all the military orders, the Lie King Qin Ran rose up fiercely and said to Ji Jiangye, Jiang Yin, Fu Siyuan, Ji Yuanchuan and other figures: "Before withdrawing the army, please also ask your honorable people to accompany me on a trip." ”

Before Chen Hai and Fu Shaoqun could figure out what was going on, they saw that Qin Ran, the Flame King, had turned into a long rainbow and went to the north, and then Ji Jiangye, Qin Hushan, Fu Siyuan, Ji Yuanchuan and other true monarch-level figures rose up one after another with swords or imperial weapons and flew to the north.

Chen Hai understood at this time that King Lie took Zhu Zhenjun to help Wu Chengsi's lone army who was trapped by the demon soldiers to break the siege.

After the soldiers and horses of Nanzhen and Beizhen retreated south, there were only 400,000 elites left in the Demon Deer Ridge, even if Jiang Jin could transfer another million soldiers and horses from the Pingma Mountain defense line at the fastest speed, it was still too thin compared to the two or three million demon soldiers gathered inside and outside Tianluo Valley.

Wu Chengsi's lone army, if it can be rescued from the siege, it still has to be saved......

"Your Highness, please allow Chen Hai to lead the battalion to defend Xinyan City, and be the queen of the Demon Expedition Army!" Chen Hai gritted his teeth and shouted at the more than forty streams that were flying into the distance.

"......" Qin Ran stopped his figure in mid-air at this time, looked at Chen Hai with some doubts, and nodded and said, "Okay, I will immediately accept the position of the general of Beiling Town, and then I will be in charge of the palace together with the Liya Town Army!"

Qin Ran went to save Wu Chengsi at this time, thinking that Wu Chengsi would lead his troops to the queen of the palace, but considering that Wu Chengsi's department had been disabled and the strength of the palace was insufficient, it was better to leave a million battalions of city soldiers together to scare the demons!

Jiang Pei, Jiang Mingchuan, Jiang Han, Jiang Ze, and even Jiang Yuwei looked at Chen Hai puzzled at this time, not understanding why he would take the initiative to stand up and beg for death at this time.

Jiang Yin nodded appreciatively at Chen Hai, and then went north with the Lie King Qin Ran to rescue the trapped Wu Chengsi.

Fu Shaoqun had figured it out at this time, millions of battalions and city soldiers had gathered in Xinyan City to prepare for the attack on Tianluo Valley and the Blood Cloud Wasteland, and now the situation has reversed, the army has retreated south, and millions of battalions and city soldiers have been arranged in the final retreat sequence.

To put it nicely, everyone also has a retreat plan for millions of battalion soldiers, but what is the difference between arranging millions of unarmed battalion soldiers at the end and directly abandoning them to the demons to devour?

How many people can Chen Hai take to escape to the Demon Deer Ridge in the end, hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands?

Chen Hai took the initiative to stand up and ask the queen of the palace, so he could naturally use a group of armor and war cavalry equipment battalion soldiers reserved in Xinyancheng for the big war, although it was inevitable that they would retreat in the end, but they should be able to take tens of thousands of people to flee to Mozhang Ridge.

However, Jiang Yuwei knows Chen Hai better, if it was just to save tens of thousands of people, Chen Hai would not do more, and Chen Hai took over the task of the queen of the palace at this time, how could he lead a million battalions to defend Xinyan City, once he was surrounded by the demon army, even Chen Hai himself would be unable to fly.

"Why?" Jiang Yuwei asked puzzled through her divine thoughts, "Once the demon army retreats south, millions or even millions of demon soldiers come from all directions, how do you break through?"

"The demons always have to guard against the king of the Lie to kill a horse gun, and after the demon army completely retreats to the south of the Demon Ridge, they will not be too urgent to besiege Xinyan City, and the battalion soldiers should still have a chance to break through and retreat south. Chen Hai said.
