Chapter 515: Forced to Return to the City
Xu Ye couldn't relax yet, they had to rush back to the transit camp or even return to the Holy Mountain City as quickly as possible.
There are a lot of thoughts on the territory of the desolate beast, and he needs to report it to several elders of the Holy Dragon Clan as soon as possible and verify it.
With their skills, they have avoided the detection of many desolate beasts, but fortunately, their personal strength is strong enough, otherwise they may not be able to escape back smoothly even if they are sent here by Yun Zongfei.
When they returned to the camp, they found that it was still too late, none of the teams had returned to the camp, and their departure did not seem to be discovered.
Ask your subordinates, compared to the situation on the beast's side, this camp is relatively calm. There was neither a group of sorties coming back, nor an attack of wild beasts.
"Didn't the family come back?did you find the whereabouts of the people from Ziting Castle when you were guarding outside?"
"No, if it weren't for Ice Rainbow City, Qian Fan and the reinforcements of the Nine Saints Three Cities occasionally sent people back to contact, we would all think that this area would only be the people from our camp. ”
"What are you talking about!" Xu Ye's forehead was almost twisted into the word "Chuan", "Could it be that no one from the five major cities such as Ziting Fort, Wudao, and Anru has ever come back to contact the camp?"
"No, and we haven't found any of their whereabouts. ”
Wei Zhanhai still didn't catch up with Xu Ye's train of thought, but when he heard this kind of reward, his heart inexplicably began to feel flustered: "Xu Ye, something is wrong." ”
"We can't wait here any longer, the whole army will immediately pull out the camp, and we will go back to the city!"
"Back to the city, but the reinforcements outside are still hunting. In case they are targeted by the main force of the desolate beasts, and they chase all the way here but lose our response, then the Holy Mountain City will lose its trust. ”
Xu Ye sighed: "I understand your worries, and that is what worries me the most. But things have changed. All the experts of the Holy Dragon Clan, who had originally sent to investigate the periphery, immediately scattered and searched for reinforcements from the Eight Great Cities, and informed them to retreat directly to the Holy Mountain City in the direction they were now and join us along the way, and not to come back to this camp. ”
"Remember, the point is to notify the three cities of Binghong, Nine Saints and Qianfan, if the other cities can't be notified, you don't need to force it, you also have to retreat in time!"
"Xu Ye, are you suspecting that the other five cities have two hearts for the Holy Mountain City? That's the reinforcements of the five big cities, they are all ......"
"Wasn't it unexpected? Xu Ye's smile even had a hint of "tragic", "But unfortunately, I'm afraid the situation is developing in the direction we least want to see." So we can't afford to make mistakes, even if it may be a misunderstanding of them, maybe sorry for their kindness to go thousands of miles to help, we have no choice!"
"The whole army is ready to set off!"
Fang Qingxue gave Xu Ye full authority before leaving, so now it can be said that all different opinions are suppressed.
This retracement is not an easy walk back and it is over. The beast's actions were faster than they expected, and the masters who were scouting outside also withdrew to the city with them, and then scattered out to find reinforcements from each city to inform, and it was difficult to complete the monitoring of the beast. Therefore, Xu Ye also needed to let out a team of Praetorian Guards and the team he had just recruited to take turns in the rearguard to guard against the surprise attack of the Desolate Beast Chaser.
And this concern does not come out of nowhere. When they set up camp and began to retreat, it was only two hours before a powerful team of desolate beasts began to test their broken team.
Xu Ye was sure that the outskirts of their camp were being watched by wild beasts. Their number should not be large, but they are all top masters, so they were not seen by the spies of the Holy Mountain City.
After going out to temper, the performance of the newly incorporated peripheral team turned out to be very stable. Needless to say, the Praetorian Guard squad did not mess up even if the two teams were attacked by surprise in the process of alternating between the rear.
The loss in that valley was worth it. But their speed is delayed after all. Xu Ye was very anxious, but after all, it was impossible for him to abandon the team or even completely ignore the reinforcements of the Ice Rainbow Three Cities who were still in contact with them. The Holy Mountain City still needs to be on the world for a long time, and he can't accurately assess how much the changes that have happened will affect the Holy Mountain City.
From the point of view of common sense, Ziting Fort and other forces did not dare to risk the world's disdain to really attack the Holy Mountain City. That is no longer the point where the forces within them will be dissatisfied, and even the forces that really do it will become the public enemy of the entire human race.
"Boom!"
When they were halfway there, an earth-shattering sound sounded from the direction of the Holy Mountain City.
Xu Ye and the others looked at the smoke and strange fire rising from the sky with blank faces, everyone knew that something big had happened in the Holy Mountain City!
They never believed that it was the power of the desolate beast that seized the opportunity to bypass all the outer guards and launch a surprise attack on the Holy Mountain City. It is very likely that it was really those reinforcements from the cities that were nowhere to be found that counterattacked the Holy Mountain City. And the Holy Mountain City was completely defenseless against them, causing such a huge movement.
Xu Ye's heart didn't know what it was like. Their greatest fear of infighting has indeed been temporarily suppressed by external pressures. But the source of the problem turned to these external forces!
Human beings face the pressure of wild beasts and demons, and even survival is a problem. As Emperor Zixiao said, only the truly terrifying existence among the desolate beasts and demons was temporarily hidden that they could get a few years of comfortable life.
Did those people just ignore external threats? In their minds, the time had come to win the struggle even if they directly destroyed a large defensive city!
"Xu Ye, what the hell is going on in the Holy Mountain City! Even if the desolate beast infiltrates with a team, how can it create such a big movement!"
The people of Ice Rainbow City approached quickly at this moment. Wan Qihong no longer cared about the rules and the children of her own family, and rushed directly to them and questioned sharply.
Wan Qihong didn't suspect as much as Xu Ye, but he also sensed that things were unusual. The current attack on the Holy Mountain City was far from what she had envisioned.
They crossed the long distance and the blockade of the beasts and demons to come to support, but before the main battle started, the "main family" was stolen first!
None of the reinforcements could stand this result. No wonder Wan Qihong, who was the most amicable to them before, was also furious.
In other directions, reinforcements from Qianfan and the Nine Saints had also approached. Fortunately, everyone's angles are similar, otherwise they may not be in the mood to gather together again after discovering the anomaly of the Holy Mountain City, and they will return to the Holy Mountain City as quickly as possible.
"It just so happens that the situation in Sacred Mountain City is unknown, and it is better for us to get together than to disperse. The army of desolate beasts behind him should have also discovered the abnormality, whether they did it or not, they would definitely change their plans and attack with all their might now. ”
Although Wan Qihong is pampered and pampered, there are still basic judgments.
Now that the situation on the battlefield has changed, even if the Holy Mountain City is not really attacked by the desolate beasts, they will not miss this opportunity. At this moment, the battle between the Holy Mountain City and the Desolate Beasts officially began, and it was even "passively provoked" by themselves.
Unless Wan Qihong and the others left their disciples to find a chance to escape by themselves, the strength gathered together would be greater, and the army of desolate beasts would have more resistance power.
There was no time for deep integration, Xu Ye took advantage of Wan Qihong's prestige to let the combat power of each city gather together with his own team, and divided into four larger teams, while being wary of the desolate beasts, he marched towards the Holy Mountain City.
Although Wan Qihong was very angry, she had not yet reached the point of losing her temper at Xu Ye, so she directly adopted his suggestion. However, at this time, the initiative in the team is equivalent to changing hands.
Unless it was confirmed that the Holy Mountain City was okay and it was just an accident, they could no longer become Xu Ye's strong backing, and at this moment, the initiative was in the hands of Binghong, Qianfan and the elders of the Nine Saint Cities.
Again repelled two waves of desolate beasts. On the contrary, their striking power has weakened. It means that they have let go of Xu Ye and the other teams, but the situation is not optimistic.
Because it represented a possibility, the desolate beast immediately prepared to launch a general attack and gather all the desolate beasts on the periphery. I don't care much about "small fish" like them anymore.
However, they were also very close to the Holy Mountain City, and they would soon be able to figure out what was going on.
At the current distance, it is even more terrifying to see the inside of the Holy Mountain Castle than it is from afar. Although there was no more loud noise like before, all kinds of bombardments and fires were fighting almost everywhere.
And Xu Ye, before they returned to the Holy Mountain City, they never expected to meet Shuai Dongyou first!
To be precise, reinforcements from several cities, including Ziting Fort!
They were standing on the nearest hillside in the same direction as Xu Ye and the others had returned, and they were watching what was happening in the Holy Mountain City.
"Shuai Dongyou, why are you here? Why are you all missing and don't contact the transit camp at all! Why are you rushing back first!"
"Don't tell me that you have the ability to predict the future, you already knew that something would happen to the Holy Mountain City!
Xu Ye rarely showed such anger, everything that happened in the Holy Mountain City collided with the "culprits", and even he couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart.
Although Wan Qihong and the others did not express it directly, they also looked at Elder Yu and Shuai Dongyou and the others with twelve points of distrust.
Shuai Dongyou smiled bitterly: "Your reaction is very fast, but don't look at us like that, it's not that we have succeeded in the Holy Mountain City, all the people have gathered here." ”
Xu Ye swept it roughly, Shuai Dongyou didn't lie, and he couldn't lie.
The reinforcements from the major cities they led should have gathered here. Even if these cities have two waves of men and horses in order to carry out a conspiracy, the vigilance of the Holy Mountain City has not been relaxed, and if they want to launch a surprise attack of this scale without reconnaissance, it will be the same as that of the desolate beasts - no, it can even be said that it is more difficult than the desolate beasts!
But, even so, Xu Ye knew that their motives were absolutely bad: "You still haven't explained clearly, why are you here!"
