Chapter 40: Sorrow
"So now it's just right for us remnants to fight again. ”
"Reinforcements are coming......
Mu Hao walked past a camp tent, and the soldiers inside were talking, listening carefully, and heard them talking about the recent war.
"Tell me, now even the marshal is going to go out, the situation on the northern front is so bad, we have fought so many games in a row, and now we will go to the fortress again, sooner or later we will finish playing. ”
"Well, you can't watch the spirit take the fortress away. ”
"I think it's better to regroup and retreat to the rear and attack again. ”
The sound of discussion kept coming, walking on the road, some soldiers' eyes also began to look a little impatient, indeed, after several battles in a row, it could not be regarded as a victory, it was a huge test of the army's morale.
Inadvertently, he had already walked back to his tent, and Xue Biqi was already waiting inside.
"General Xue, why didn't you send someone to call me, have you been waiting?"
"It's okay, I'll just walk around, come to the Bai Feng military camp, and come and sit down. ”
"Come on, come on"
Mu Hao turned around and took out a jug of wine from a box. The two of them drank at the table.
"Alas"
"What's wrong?"
"You say, how long can we keep fighting like this? ”
"Indeed, although the marshals have already brought their troops here, it is difficult to say if there is a backup move for the spirit. After the previous battle, Mu Hao also saw the strength of the spirit this time, and now, although he still has the fighting spirit, a voice faintly began to emerge in his heart to question himself, can he really win?
Xue Biqi was still talking, but Mu Hao was a little inattentive, as if he could see that he was thinking about the problem, Xue Biqi shook his hands in front of Mu Hao's eyes.
"What do you think?"
didn't hear what Xue Biqi said before, and Mu Hao could only be sloppy.
"I mean, we should actually be regrouping our troops, and the current troops, if we fight directly in Lingyun Fortress, it is really too risky..... I really don't understand what the marshal is thinking. ”
While the two were talking, they didn't notice that Pang Yuanze had already come to the outside of the camp and listened to the conversation between the two.
"yes, I don't even know what I'm thinking." Hearing Xue Biqi's complaint, Pang Yuanze no longer hid, and walked straight in.
"Indeed, the old man commanded this time, don't talk about you, even I have to scold myself for being useless. ”
"Marshal ........., General Xue is only complaining about the recent war, not really dissatisfied with the marshal. Mu Hao hurriedly played the round, and Xue Biqi on the side didn't dare to come out, who knew that the marshal would come over suddenly.
"No, no, no, come, sit down. Beckoning the two to sit down, Pang Yuanze was just about to speak, glanced outside the door, waved his big hand, and suddenly an enchantment enveloped them.
This barrier cut off the connection with the outside world, and the sound of speech cannot be heard.
"What do you think of this war?"
"We....think there's always something weird."
"Oh, tell me?"
Mu Hao and Xue Biqi glanced at each other, and they no longer hesitated, and as soon as they opened their mouths, Xue Biqi said to the marshal: "Dare to ask the marshal, is this battle really commanding you?"
This sentence came suddenly, and Mu Hao didn't expect him to ask like this as soon as he came, and he really chuckled in his heart.
"Why?"
"The younger generation is rude, and I hope that the marshal is not strange, but I think that when the marshal commanded us in the past, he would not be led by the enemy's nose, although this time there are indeed many strange things, and there are also internal ghosts interfering, but, according to the temperament of the marshal outside, he will not have so much concern, and he has already begun to gather a large army to resist, but this time ........ why is the marshal so weak!"
"Well......." Hearing this, Pang Yuanze was indeed a little unable to hang up. But nothing was said.
"Marshal, we all know your style of acting, but we feel strange about a situation like this, so General Xue is a little more serious, I hope the marshal is not strange, and the juniors think that ........ is not the command this time, but it is actually the side of the Lingyuan?" Mu Hao said, looking up at Pang Yuanze. Between the deep eyes and the old gaze, each saw some of the other's thoughts.
"Hahaha, sure enough, Wu Mingkun said that you are a rare good general among the many generals on the northern front, there is no doubt about this!
"Let's not say that the marshal's command style is different this time, the simplest point, just the marshal you went out at this time, it's not very reasonable, if it's in the past, I think, as early as when the enemy army destroyed the intelligence network, you have already thundered and started to transfer troops, etc., but this time, it is to make our front-line troops almost in a desperate situation, you will act like this, there are only two explanations...."
Say. ”
"You're really too old to go to war anymore, or...there's something that keeps you from acting rashly. ”
".........." Pang Yuanze didn't say anything anymore, looked at Mu Hao, the tea bowl in his hand was fragrant, and he took a sip, Pang Yuanze looked at the two.
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"We really haven't thought about it. ”
"Do you know, King Er?"
"Marshal ....... King of the Elder refers to the kind of existence that was killed a hundred years ago and once suppressed the spirit master?"
"Actually, it's not so mysterious, it's the 'spiritual realm' in the spirit. ”
"Is there really such a realm?"
"Nonsense, is that the word we passed on to you false?"
Pang Yuanze looked at the tea bowl, as if he was recalling something, and said in his mouth: "I have only heard of this kind of existence, and that is what my master told me." ”
"Your master ....... Lingxuzi!?" For this name, the spirit masters are very familiar, but they are very unfamiliar, because everyone knows this name, which represents the highest peak of the spirit master now, but no one has ever seen what he looks like.
"Well, exactly, the king of Na Er was killed by Shizun himself. ”
"Did the Spirit Void Son Ancestor discover something again?"
"In fact, we don't know where Shizun is now, and no one has heard from him. ”
"This ......"
While chatting, Pang Yuanze took out a book scroll, the writing was torn, and he saw that there were traces of sewing on it, something that was some years old.
"This is written by the master, which is about the opinions of the king, we have a few brothers, and each of us has a copy. ”
As he spoke, he handed the scroll to Mu Hao.
Flip through the paper, a line of handwriting.
'Spirit, spirit, spirit. ’
Flipping through the back, what is recorded in it is the origin of the king of Er, it turns out that the king is like a spiritual master, and he also needs to cultivate to reach this realm, and what is written in the book not only has a record of the king of Er, but more importantly, there is a point of view that runs through the whole book, that is, '戾' is an instinct, and the spirit is the same.
Hastily flipped through half of the book, there was no method in the whole book, and there was no way to deal with the king of Er, Mu Hao was also very puzzled.
"Marshal, this book ......"
"Don't think that there is a way to deal with the king in this book, you must know that the spirit is born with an advantage over our spirit master, and today's territory is more than a thousand years of hard exchange for human life!"
"So, now that the king has come out?"
"There is no such information yet, but we have found it possible from the records left in the past. ”
“............ I hope the marshal will inform. ”
According to the book, the mere fact that the spirits began to assemble on a large scale and act in an extremely orderly manner is a sign, for the king is the ruler, and his orders are absolute to the spirits. And what we've gotten from the spies is that the army of the Spirits is growing at the moment. ”
“...............”
Mu Hao and Xue Biqi both felt that something was wrong. If the king adds a large army, then he really doesn't know how to deal with it.
"I'm telling you this because I want you to be prepared, but hopefully it's not what we think. ”
"Isn't there anything we can do to deal with the king?"
"I've sent someone to find Shizun, but there is no news, but don't worry too much, we can't be sure that it is King Er, and the most important thing now is to prepare to recapture Lingyun Fortress." Mu Hao, I want to send you as a pioneer, do you dare?"
"The young general is willing to go!"
"Okay, but this battle is dangerous and unusual, so you need to be more careful. ”
The three of them are in the tent, within the enchantment, only the three of them know what they are discussing, for this news, whether to let everyone know or keep it secret, the three of them have no bottom, and they don't know what to do after thinking about it for a long time.
"I see, since there is no definite information, it would be good for us to let everyone be vigilant, and there is no need to say so much, so as not to disturb the morale of the army. Xue Biqi didn't bother to think about it so much.
"Hmm...... And so it can be. ”
Inside the Spiritual Seminary
"How?"
"There's still no news, and now it's expanded to the territory of the Lingling. ”
"Keep looking, you must find it, if you don't have a master...... If it's true, we're all done. ”
"Yes!"
With a shadow of light, the person disappeared in place.
"Senior brother, is there still no news?"
"Alas........."
"Shall we start mobilizing the army?"
"Wait, acting rashly will only make the situation worse. ”
"Good ......."
"Also, I heard that you've been recruiting recently?"
"Oh, yes, I'm preparing. ”
"Well, it's still the same, plan ahead. Okay, remember that it is not enough to have soldiers, you have to train soldiers. ”
"Don't worry, brother, I will. Remember to tell me when there is news of the master. ”
"Of course. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and feed this guy first. As he spoke, he pointed to the dragon head Ao Ying on his shoulder.
Looking at the figure in the distance, a deep gaze, looking down on the entire spiritual monastery from the rooftop, the sunset rose on the horizon, and the dusk came, with a sense of drunkenness.
"Master....... what should I do......
