Chapter 81 - Multi-line see-saw (bad news)
After three days of meticulous and nightly pursuit, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying, six young people, finally encountered the main logistics force of the Dark Legion who was preparing to ambush the main army of the Dark Army in the field not far from Licheng. Due to this situation and worries, the six young people still did not dare to rush forward easily, for fear that the main army of the Dark Legion would attack them in various places, and now they chose to lie dormant and wait on the basis of not being able to understand the true strength of the Dark Legion.
"This matter is directly related to our current future, not only the Qi country that is now in ruins, but also your coalition army, grain and grass are our lifeblood, because of this, we must not be careless in the slightest, everything must be extremely cautious and careful, and nothing can go wrong. In the wilderness, Feng Yuchong, who was hidden behind the stones, was whispering to his companions around him, their current plan was mainly to use the follow-up patrol detachment of the Dark Legion to understand the current marching state of the Dark Legion, the main force of the Dark Legion did not dare to get involved easily, but the small forces of these patrols were very easy to handle, not only were the small units of these patrols not strong, but they were also the lowest-level humanoid soldiers in the Dark Legion, and it was relatively easy to deal with them.
It's just that the six young people Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying are a little helpless that these humanoid soldiers are all uncontrollable creatures controlled by the dark evil god, and they are all dead people on the Sinking Leaf Demon Spirit Continent, and the dark evil god forcibly resurrected them into his own help, and a large part of the situation is to use them as pawns and death squads, and all the dirty work is handed over to them to do.
From the mouths of these humanoid soldiers, the six young people didn't ask anything worth noting, which also made them quite uncomfortable, after all, the main purpose was to learn about the current direction of the Dark Legion through these humanoid soldiers, and they didn't expect that this practice would gain little. In desperation, the six young people Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying could only choose to continue to hurry and chase closer to the location of the main force of the Dark Legion. Then, judging the distance from the main force of the Dark Legion by the number of patrol soldiers of the Dark Legion encountered on the way, of course, their main purpose is to take food and grass from the hands of the Dark Legion, and it is not to dispose of the Dark Legion in this way, this idea is obviously unrealistic.
Two days later, Feng Yuchong and the others suddenly received an urgent letter from Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde, Chen Xinyu sent a total of ten messengers all the way to the south to meet them, nine of them were cut off by the main army of the Dark Legion, only one of the messengers who bypassed the mountain range escaped the pursuit of the Dark Legion, and risked death to deliver the letter to Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying.
In this letter, Empress Chen Xinyu told them in shorter and more direct words about the crisis they are facing, the Dark Legion is chasing after their main army, and they have no way to confront the main army of the Dark Legion, so they have to temporarily choose to withdraw and return to the Xuanling Continent. On the other hand, the army that was originally rested in the Feng War Society suddenly attacked Yicheng, which left the country and the white-clothed Celestial Maiden forces temporarily rested and stationed, and the 50,000-strong army launched an attack on Yicheng day and night, Kong Hong sent a pigeon letter overnight asking her not to go to support, and Chen Xinyu could not easily give up this army anyway, but then the main force of the Dark Army was in pursuit, and she could only temporarily divide an army to ensure the logistics and food of Yicheng as much as possible, and at present, Lingcheng temporarily remained under the control of the white-clothed Celestial Maiden's forces, and this army was dispersed from the flanks to ensure that it was safe and sound in the north of the feudal country, and it may be able to play a more important role。
Feng Yuchong can also understand the predicament that Empress Chen Xinyu is facing now, although some of the 70,000 troops under her command are the most elite Royal Yulin Army who have left the country, but after all, they cannot be compared with the main force of the Dark Legion, and now when facing the surprise attack of the main army of the Dark Legion, they are not very wise to choose other than to preserve their strength and retreat, at least it is not the right time. So, a decision like this should be a pretty good one overall, at least not a situation where it could lead to total annihilation.
Of course, the reason why Empress Chen Xinyu sent such a letter was not that she wanted to tell them about the crisis they were currently facing, nor just that she wanted to tell them that the main army that had left the country had withdrawn, but the main purpose was because the Dark Legion was now pursuing too fiercely, and the army of the Sealed War Society was also attacking Yicheng, where the alliance of the Leaves and the White-clothed Heavenly Maiden forces was located, perhaps because the suppressive power of the Dark Legion was too strong, and the Sealed War Society and the Holy Emperor were forced to forcibly dispatch troops to attack Yicheng during the year。 However, in general, now should be the best opportunity, the eyes of the main forces of the Dark Legion are focused on the main force leaving the country in the distance and Yicheng, which is surrounded by the Sealed War Meeting, this is also the best time for them to seize the logistics of the Dark Legion.
"Alright, we'll have to hurry up! Feng Yuchong encouraged his companions as they set out on their quest to pursue the Dark Legion again.
Half a day later, when Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying and the six young people disposed of a patrol post again, they unexpectedly got an extremely surprising news that their partners Lu Deng and Shi Lanbo, who had been guarding with His Majesty Xuanyue Jun in Xuancheng, were captured by the Dark Legion, and their lives and deaths are unknown to this day. Although they have been busy some time ago and have no time to take care of this matter for the time being, this does not mean that they will forget about this matter, but they can't get any news about this matter by any means, so they have no choice but to give up for the time being. Unexpectedly, I accidentally got the news of the two of them here.
However, what the six young people didn't expect was that this news about their companions Lu Deng and Shi Rambo turned out to be such a terrifying message, in the mouths of these unconscious humanoid soldiers, these two of their companions have been controlled by the Black Evil God and become members of the Dark Council under his command. Since these humanoid soldiers call them lords, this status must be unusual.
Of course, these are just the words of the unconscious humanoid soldiers, although there are some doubts in their hearts, after all, they can't be directly confirmed like this, and it will indeed take a while to confirm this, and after all, it is still necessary to see is believing to know whether this news is true or not. However, the arrival of this unexpected news still added a sense of worry and anxiety to the hearts of the six young people, including Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying, especially Feng Shanshan, who has a deep relationship and emotion with Lu Deng, her worries and uneasiness were all expressed on her face at a glance.
Along the way, Feng Shanshan always unconsciously told her brother about this matter, and Feng Yuchong also understood his sister's slightly anxious mood, and he didn't constantly comfort his sister along the way not to believe these words that were not necessarily true, at least now that he hadn't seen the situation with his own eyes, it was better not to speculate too much so as not to make them face a more uneasy situation. Under the comfort of her brother, Feng Shanshan barely stabilized her mind, and the six young people temporarily stabilized their minds after getting an extremely bad news, not to be bothered by these things, their goal is quite clear, for the future of all the soldiers and civilians of the Qi country, they must seize the grain and grass of the dark army, otherwise not only them, but the future of the entire Qi country will be incalculable, and even fall into the abyss.
After another half a day, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying, the six young people finally caught up with the follow-up troops of the Dark Legion, and sure enough, this follow-up force was indeed the logistics team escorting a large amount of grain and grass of the Dark Legion, but the six of them also found that this demon seed force escorting the follow-up grain and grass of the Dark Legion was also a special existence that they had never seen. And in this logistics team, there are mainly humanoid soldiers, and dozens of such burly and huge demon seeds are wrapped in the middle, carrying a large number of grain bags on their backs, and these grains are written with the words Qi Guo, which should be the grain captured by the Dark Legion in Xuancheng before, and there are many food reserves in Xuancheng, and a large part of it has become the trophies of the Dark Legion before it is transported away.
Looking at it, the size and appearance of this demon army look like an ordinary war horse, but whether it is the front hooves or the body and appearance, it is much larger than the war horse, because the sky is now a little dark, the vision is not wide, and they can't easily see the true face of this demon army, it is very likely that this is not a war horse, maybe it is another animal, distorted and corrupted by the power of the dark evil god, becoming his dark helper and slave, and has since lost his consciousness and will.
"Everyone be careful, if it's just a humanoid soldier, we don't need to be too careful, and the combat effectiveness of this demon seed unit that transports food shouldn't be very strong. What we have to guard against now is that the Dark Legion is very likely to use this as bait to lure us to loot food and grass, no matter how careless we are when we disperse our actions, be careful!" Feng Yuchong and the others still carried out their actions according to the original scattered teams left and right, and Feng Yuchong did not forget to tell us two words before leaving.
"See the lord!" At this moment, there was a shout of humanoid soldiers in the distance, which directly attracted the eyes of Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Bu Yuehan and Luo Yinying, and they all looked in the direction facing the voice.
