Chapter 284: The King Arrives
Seeing that the enemy had no fighting spirit, Xu Chen hurriedly ordered the accompanying soldiers to surrender the weapons of these people and escorted them to the side to take care of them.
Then everyone began to clean up the battlefield, and the final battle situation was that most of the demon army was killed and wounded, and their own side only killed five children of the Protoss, plus a few people were slightly injured.
This made Xu Chen feel pleased, and just as he was thinking about how to dispose of those captives, Liu Hanshan had already whispered to him: "In my opinion, it is better to ...... these captives."
He didn't say any more, but made a head-killing gesture to the crowd.
"Uncle Shi, this must not be!" Xu Chen hurriedly said to stop.
"Senior nephew, do you think I like to do such cruel things? When everyone returns to Zhenwu Mountain, they will have to pass through the camp of the demon dog, and it is easy to make mistakes with these captives along the way,"
Xu Chen knew that his uncle was thinking about the lives and safety of all the soldiers, not out of selfishness, but he didn't know what was going on, Su Cheng and others told him about the torture and killing of prisoners of war by Uncle Song Wuji, which made him really unable to issue this cruel military order.
Seeing Xu Chen's sad face, Qianshuangxue gave him an idea that was both beautiful and beautiful: "You two don't have to worry about this matter, I think it's better to hand over these captives to my father and take them back to Tsukasui Mountain to be imprisoned temporarily, and then release them after I have repelled the army of beacon fire, do you think this idea is good." ”
Everyone nodded yes again and again, and the matter was settled, and after the father escorted these captives away, Xu Chen and the others set fire to the camp again, and for a time the flames were everywhere, and the smoke was in the night sky, burning the military food hoarded by the demon army.
Beacon Liancheng was drinking in the tent, and when he saw the fire in the rear, he suddenly knew that he had fallen into Ji Shenlian's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he hurriedly went out of the tent to gather the generals and personally led the team to the rear for reinforcements.
But by the time he arrived with his army, the camp was already in ruins, and Xu Chen and the others had already gone far away.
Although the beacon city was so angry that it was about to vomit blood, it was also helpless, so it had to rearrange a few veteran generals to be stationed here, and at the same time Xiushu sent people back to Zhurong Country to collect grain and grass, vowing to fight a protracted war with the soldiers of the Protoss in Zhenwu Mountain.
When Xu Chen led the team back to the mountain, he did not take the original road, but took another path.
This is all the idea of Qianshuangxue, they burned the grain and grass of the demon army, and the beacon fire will definitely order all armies to strengthen their vigilance, if they want to kill back from the original way, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
But what Xu Chen didn't expect was that it was this temporary diversion that caused them to encounter an unexpected thing, which led to the conspiracy of the demon clan that they discovered.
Just as everyone was hurrying away in the night, Qian Shuangxue suddenly ran to Xu Chen's side and asked him to immediately order the team to stop advancing.
Xu Chen was stunned and asked, "Xue'er, is there an ambush ahead?"
"It's not. Qian Shuangxue shook her head and said, "It seems that there are pursuers coming from the rear." ”
Xu Chen was taken aback, and said with a little disbelief: "The dog thief in the Beacon Fire City has arranged the elite at the forefront of my Zhenwu Mountain, and now the team guarding the grain and grass has also been killed by us, where does he still have troops to track all the way to attack us?"
"My ears are much more sensitive than you humans, and all I hear now is the sound of the hoofs of horses hurrying forward. As far as I can judge, this army is so numerous that it is probably less than a mile away from us. ”
Xu Chen came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the team to hide in the nearby dense forest to avoid its edge.
Sure enough, as Qianshuangxue said, in less than a pillar of incense, Xu Chen saw a large group of people and horses appear in the road, they didn't seem to find the Protoss army hiding in the forest, and galloped away all the way, leaving only the billowing dust and smoke in the road for a long time.
But after the demon army left, everyone's faces became even paler, because they saw several golden dragon agarwood sedan chairs that only kings could use in this team!
Xu Chen sighed: "No wonder the beacon city has no fear, it turns out that he has already called a helper!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Qianshuangxue's face was full of gloomy clouds, and he couldn't help asking, "Xue'er, are you not feeling well?" Why don't you wait for the two of us to ride a fast horse, so that I can take care of you on the way." ”
Qian Shuangxue said sadly: "Lin Yunshang is here, maybe she is not the only demon lord who came, there are other people." ”
There was a deathly silence in the forest, Xu Chen counted in his heart, there were three dragon sedan chairs, if there was a big man sitting in each sedan chair, it meant that a total of three demon lords came to reinforce the city.
The soldiers of the Protoss who were still immersed in the joy of victory just now are all like ashes at this moment, although there are now four god kings in Zhenwu Mountain, but the Demon Clan has also come to the corresponding number of top masters, who will win and who will lose in this war, it is really unpredictable.
Xu Chen suddenly became anxious and hurriedly asked, "Xue'er, what should we do?"
"What else can I do, of course, I will go back as soon as possible to report the military situation, if Lin Yunshang and Beacon Liancheng join forces and launch a surprise attack on Zhengwu Mountain overnight, I am afraid that you may not be able to resist. ”
"There are so many of you on the road together, it's easy to be discovered, I'm afraid that before I see the face of Uncle Taishi, I will be surrounded by demon armies on the way, how can I convey this news to the sacred mountain at that time?"
"The only way to do this now is to send a few people back to Shenshan to report the military situation. Liu Hanshan said: "This matter is very important, and I don't worry about arranging others." It's better for you and Princess Qian to take the best horses in the team, and immediately return to the sacred mountain to inform Uncle Shi, so that he can take precautions as soon as possible. ”
"Then what are you going to do? If you run into any of the Demon Lords, everyone may be wiped out. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I grew up in the Sacred Mountain since I was a child, and I am much more familiar with the roads around here than you, I will try my best to avoid the military camp and checkpoint of the demon dog, so as not to let my brothers lose their lives unjustly. ”
Xu Chen wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Lang also persuaded him to hurry back to the mountain, Xu Chen knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he had to say goodbye to everyone, and then rode two fast horses with Qianshuangxue and hurried back to Zhenwu Mountain.
Coming to a small village less than a mile away from the foot of the mountain, the two quietly tied their horses to a forest, and then came out to look for an opportunity to go up the mountain to meet Ji Shenlian.
Under the bleak moonlight, the military camp of the demon clan was endless, surrounding the Zhenwu Mountain, Xu Chen looked at it for a long time, and failed to find a way into the mountain without the demon soldiers stationed, he couldn't help frowning and said to Qianshuangxue: "Now is not the time to come, that female demon has already led the troops to join the Beacon City, if we force the mountain into the mountain, any demon lord comes to block, it will be difficult for us to return to the Zhenwu Mountain safely." ”
Qian Shuangxue's expression calmed down, and she chuckled and said, "It seems that Lin Yunshang is not proficient in the art of war, if I am the commander, I will lead the army to launch a fierce attack at this moment, and I will definitely be able to severely defeat the morale of the Protoss." ”
"When is it, you still have the heart to joke!" Xu Chen said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up and think of a way to enter the mountain!"
"I don't have any good ideas, I can only gamble on my luck once. ”
Qianshuang Xue bit her silver teeth, turned around and hugged Xu Chen tightly in her arms.
Xu Chen suddenly blushed, and said in a lost voice: "Xue'er, what are you doing." ”
"Hold me tight, don't let go!" After saying that, Qian Shuangxue recited a spell, and suddenly the whirlwind around him rolled out, and Qian Shuangxue also turned into a clear wind, tightly winding Xu Chen, taking him directly into the night sky, and flying quickly towards Zhenwu Mountain.
Xu Chen only felt the sound of the wind rolling in his ears, and the demon army camp under him retreated like flowing water, and he suddenly said happily: "Xue'er, I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful method! Why don't you say it, it makes me nervous for a long time." ”
Qianshuangxue's somewhat anxious voice came from the wind: "This is the Demon Clan's Wind Resisting Technique, it has no problem hiding from ordinary cultivators, I'm only worried that I won't be able to hide the eyes of a few Demon Lords." ”
The more you worry about something, the easier it is to come to something, seeing that the two of them are about to arrive at the pass at the forefront of Zhengwu Mountain, suddenly there is a terrible whistling sound from below!
Xu Chen looked down and was taken aback, only to see an ice arrow flashing with a cold cold light shooting towards them with an unstoppable momentum!
Qianshuangxue is flying against the wind, and he can't resolve the danger at all, while Xu Chen is entangled in the breeze, and he can't cast a spell to reach it for a while, as long as this arrow hits them, Xu Chen and Qianshuangxue will definitely fall to the ground and become captives of the demons.
The situation is extremely critical, but the two of them are helpless, they can only close their eyes and wait for death!
Just when the nerves of the two were tense to the extreme, the ice arrow actually grazed their bodies, and then flew into the air and turned into a poignant firework that was fleeting.
Xu Chen was surprised, and said loudly: "Xue'er, did you use some kind of demon technique to make this ice arrow lose its crosshairs?"
"If I had such ability, would I still be planted in Lin Yunsheng's hands?" Qian Shuangxue gasped and said, "This is the person who released the arrow deliberately missed the direction, he has no intention of harming us, it is likely that he is just a warning." ”
"Hmph, would the demon dog have such a good heart?" Of course Xu Chen didn't believe it, but as he spoke, he had already seen a man in blue below looking up at them, but the distance was too far for Xu Chen to see this person's face clearly.
"Don't look at it. Qian Shuangxue sighed and said, "This merciful person is Murong Qiushui, and his father's nurturing grace to him, he will never hurt me." ”
Xu Chen realized at this time, and couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky, if the other demon lords found out about their whereabouts, I am afraid they would not have such good luck.
In this way, the two of them finally landed on the pass guarded by Nangong Muyang without danger, and before they could take a breath, they saw Nangong Muyang coming to meet them.
Xu Chen hurriedly told his master what he had seen, and Nangong Muyang was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly went to Tianshu Palace with him to report this important military situation to several god kings.
