Chapter Seventy-Nine: Disparity in Strength
"Now it's time for us to go to Meridian City too. Chen Yuelai's mood returned to calm.
Concubine Wu and Lang Taiyi are no longer in danger, and they should go back now.
Meridian City was less than four hundred miles away from them, and it would take them less than a few days to reach it.
There is no need to take Concubine Wu and Helang Taiyi with them, they can go faster.
If Gonggong Xu is there, it may take less than a day to arrive.
After all, when flying, there is no need to make a detour, and Gonggong Xu is a powerhouse at the peak of the Illusion God Realm.
With the two of them, they can't travel through the void.
Because if Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling's current realm entered the void, they would be strangled by the chaotic space.
But even then, it's much faster.
At this time, Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling had already parted with Gonggong Xu for a few days, and they didn't know if Gonggong Xu had escaped from that martial artist of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm now.
Although the disparity in strength is huge, Chen Yuelai still has a trace of illusions, hoping that Gonggong Xu can escape from danger.
Three days later, Meridian City, outside the moat!
Two dusty figures appeared, quietly walking from a distance, and on the observation tower, there was a young general in white armor.
The young general looked at the two figures that were gradually approaching, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly walked down from the observation tower.
Walk at a hurry.
"Grandpa Chen, princess, are you two back?!", the white-armored young general quickly came to the front of these two figures and said in surprise.
These two figures are Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling, who have been traveling for several days, and the two have been on the road day and night for three days, and finally came to Meridian City.
The moat of Meridian City is several miles wide, and Meridian City is on the other side of the moat.
However, there are still many watchtowers on the other side of Meridian City, because it is difficult to see the situation in Meridian City, so many watchtowers are set up to observe the enemy's movements.
And the person in charge of the watchtower that Chen Yuelai and the others are passing through now is this young general in white armor.
is also an acquaintance of Chen Yuelai, and when he was hunting in the Imperial Forest, Chen Yuelai also saved the life of this young general, this person is the son of Zhao Dagui of Ningdehou, Zhao Yunyi.
"Brother Yunyi, what a coincidence, we just came back and have something urgent to find the monarch, please take us across the river immediately. Chen Yuelai said with a serious expression.
Zhao Yunyi didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Okay, Gonggong Chen, princess, you two come with me." ”
Chen Yuelai is now very anxious to see Qingpingyang, at this moment in Hengyuan, perhaps only Qingpingyang has the ability to go to that borderless land to take a look at the current situation of Gonggong Xu.
Most of the military strength of Wu Kun and the Montage Kingdom was hoarded in Shanhai City, and the other part remained in the Montage Country.
There should be no masters in the Borderlands, and it will only take about a day to go back and forth in Qingpingyang, and the risk is not great.
Zhao Yunyi found a boat, this boat was also a low-level treasure, and it swam very fast in the water, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they had already crossed the moat.
Zhao Yunyi greeted the soldiers guarding the city wall, and the latter opened the city gate wide and let them enter Meridian City.
"Now the monarch should be in the city lord's mansion, and I will take you there. Zhao Yunyi knew that things were urgent, so he walked faster.
The three of them soon came to the City Lord's Mansion, and at this time, He Xuanliang, the commander of the Tianfeng City Forbidden Army, sensed the breath of Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling within the scope of the City Lord's Mansion, and also trotted out excitedly.
"Grandpa Chen, princess, please go inside!", He Xuanliang respected Ji Bingling very much, and also smiled faintly at Chen Yuelai.
Under the leadership of He Xuanliang, Chen Yuelai, Ji Bingling, and Zhao Yunyi entered the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and Qing Pingyang was not here at this time.
"The monarch may be in the cultivation room, these days, the monarch is basically studying the Hengyuan sword technique, and if he wants to cultivate this sword technique to the peak realm, he may be able to help him feel the power of the sword, so that he can greatly improve his combat power. He Xuanling's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
The Hengyuan Sword Technique is a heaven-level low-level exercise, which is actually difficult for Qing Pingyang to cultivate, and it has only been cultivated to the point of Dacheng until now.
Now that Hengyuan Kingdom has fallen into such a situation, Qing Pingyang is eager to improve his combat power in order to prepare for the upcoming big war.
"But don't worry, the monarch will come out at noon, and now there are a lot of things in Meridian City that he needs to deal with, and he can't calm down to cultivate at all. He Xuanliang sighed and continued.
"In that case, let's wait here until noon. Chen Yuelai said.
At this time, it was only an hour before noon, so there was no need to wait too long.
"Gonggong Chen, you and the princess went to participate in the test of Hongmeng Academy, what was the result?", Zhao Yunyi asked with a smile.
When Qing Pingyang sent Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling to Hongmeng Academy, he came back and said that Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling had successfully become students of Hongmeng Academy.
said that it was directly admitted, and it was directly decided before he even experienced the test.
Therefore, Zhao Yunyi dared to ask this directly, and there was no need to worry about Chen Yuelai and Ji Bingling not passing the assessment and asking embarrassingly.
"Both of us became core trainees. Chen Yuelai replied lightly.
In normal times, he would definitely be proud if he said this result, but in the current situation, he found that his heart was extremely calm.
"Core trainees.... , Wouldn't it be that Hongmeng Academy will help us?", Zhao Yunyi immediately said excitedly when he heard this.
"Well, it does, but now our teacher is in retreat, and he may not be able to reach Hengyuan Kingdom in time, and the big battle between Meridian City and Shanhai City is coming soon, I don't know if they can arrive in time...", Chen Yuelai's eyes fluctuated a little.
Meridian City is the last line of defense of the Eighteen Cities on the Side, and it is also a hub, and Meridian City is the place where dozens of cities meet.
Once forced here, then it will cause a chain reaction, and Wu Kun's army will be overwhelming in Hengyuan.
With Qing Pingyang alone now, it is basically impossible to reverse the situation.
Chen Yuelai was worried that by the time Xuan Xiaozi and Ding they arrived, Hengyuan Kingdom would already be in shambles.
A martial artist at the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm is enough to make the Hengyuan Kingdom Jedi live.
But at that time, even if the final victory was saved, it would be difficult for Hengyuan Kingdom to recover without a hundred years.
"Don't worry about these for now, since Gonggong Chen is back now, why don't you lead us and escort all the people from the villages around Meridian City back to the city?
Now that the two armies are facing each other, the main generals above the Illusion God Realm will not invade each other's territory without authorization, and both sides are preparing for a big battle in five days.
However, among the many villages and towns around, there are many enemy troops from the Enlightenment Realm and the True Yuan Realm who are robbing homes and houses.
The people in these villages and towns are living in dire straits, and we can't sit idly by and ignore the citizens of these Hengyuan Kingdoms, so Zuo Ming and I formed a team of ten people to kill these thieves who disturbed the villagers in the surrounding area.
If Grandpa Chen can join us, it will definitely greatly improve the strength of our team. ”
Zhao Yunyi was more optimistic, looking at Chen Yuelai with anticipation, as if he hoped that Chen Yuelai would be able to join their team.
They are not responsible for escorting the villagers into Meridian City, there are other people in charge, and their team's duty is to maintain law and order in those fringe villages.
He knew that Chen Yuelai's combat power was very strong, and the last time he was in the Imperial Forest, if it weren't for Chen Yuelai, he and Chongzuo would have died at the hands of the rock beast a long time ago.
And before, Chen Yuelai also relied on his strange fighting skills to successfully kill Yang Baifeng in the ring!
Chen Yuelai's brows sank slightly, on the way back, in fact, he and Ji Bingling also killed several soldiers who were making trouble in a village along the way.
The actions of these soldiers really made Chen Yuelai unbearable, and they were no different from bandits and robbers.
"Yes!", Chen Yuelai made a decision more easily, that is, to join Zhao Yunyi and Chong Zuoming's team.
And Chen Yuelai also knows very well that with his current combat strength, he can only do some small things and try to help Qing Pingyang share a little.
If he is placed on the battlefield and faces a large number of martial artists of the Illusory God Realm, or even the martial artists of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, with his current strength of the Enlightenment Triple, I am afraid that he will be lucky to survive for dozens of seconds.
"Since Chen Yuelai is willing to follow you to kill the enemy, then add me as well. Ji Bingling said with a light smile, looking at Zhao Yunyi, as if he was waiting for Zhao Yunyi's answer.
"Princess, this can't be done..., in case you have any accidents, how can I explain to the monarch?!", a look of panic suddenly appeared on Zhao Yunyi's face.
Even when facing a powerful enemy, he had never had such a panicked look on his face!
In his heart, Ji Bingling's status is extremely high, not only the princess of Hengyuan Kingdom, but also the daughter of Queen Ji, how dare he take Ji Bingling to take risks!
"Then if something happens to Chen Yuelai, how can you explain it to me?", Ji Bingling asked rhetorically, his eyes resolute!
When Chen Yuelai saw Ji Bingling who was so serious, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He also knew that he also had a status in Ji Bingling's heart.
"This....", Zhao Yunyi's face was black....
Looking at Chen Yuelai in surprise, this strange look made Chen Yuelai feel a little embarrassed, he was a fake eunuch, and only Qing Pingyang and Gonggong Xu knew about it in Hengyuan Kingdom.
Concubine Wu also knew about it before, but now Concubine Wu is not in Hengyuan Kingdom.
"It's okay, Yunyi, just let the ice spirit join you with me. Chen Yuelai saw the embarrassed look on Zhao Yunyi's face, so he spoke.
"Commander He, what is the strength of the enemy army?", Chen Yuelai looked at He Xuanliang and asked.
In the past, the Hengyuan Kingdom was able to suppress the Montage Country for decades, and it must have a strength that the Montage Country could not match.
But now a mysterious force has emerged in the Montage Country, and this force must not be the power of the Hundred Gu Caves.
Although the Hundred Gu Caves are a relatively strong force hidden in the Hengyuan Kingdom and the Montage Kingdom, if there are so many Heavenly Tribulation Realm martial artists in the Hundred Gu Caves, why should they hide for so long, and ask Guan Qingmu to assassinate themselves?!
At this moment, Chen Yuelai can be said to know very little about the enemy's combat power.
"This time there seems to be a powerful force behind Wu Kun secretly supporting him, in the previous war, there have been three low-level powerhouses of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm have appeared, although the combat power of the monarch has reached the low-level of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, but it is also difficult to resist the three low-level powerhouses of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, so in the previous war, we have been defeated and retreated.
Moreover, the enemy army has 50,000 Illusory God Realm warriors, and our Hengyuan country only has 60,000 Illusory God Realm warriors, and the situation is very bad. He Xuanliang said with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Chen Yuelai frowned, the gap was so huge, it was no wonder that the Eighteen Cities on the Side would fall so quickly, except for the Snow Blade City controlled by Wu Kun, in such a short period of time, sixteen cities had already fallen.
The only advantage of Hengyuan Kingdom now is that there are many people!
But this is not a problem that can be solved by a large number of people!
