In the war-torn land west of Sesnek, a steady stream of refugees is returning home, and new freight caravans are taking to the town-to-town roads.

The carriage is in the middle, the pedestrians walk on both sides, and the road is busy but not crowded, noisy but not noisy.

But at some point, the surging queue suddenly stopped, and both the drivers and hikers all looked surprised and stared blankly at the wilderness on the north side.

And everyone's eyes were turning in unison, staring at the strange sight that had never been seen before.

For a puff of smoke suddenly appeared from the horizon, and in a blink of an eye, it swept before everyone's eyes, and whistled over the wilderness.

"What's that?" until the smoke faded away, and the pedestrians were still looking at each other.

"It seems to be a person, but it is intermittent, flickering, and I can't see clearly!"

"How can it be a man? even a beast can't run so fast!"

Of course, Chang Le is a human being, but he is a little out of the range of human common sense, and at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, even if a Battle Sect-level cultivator at the peak of the continent can break free from the shackles of the earth and jump into the sky, the flight speed is only so.

The combination of the cultivation of the beast soul and the power of time and space will give birth to such a strange one, which is unique in the world.

Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing for him, and within a few hours of setting out from Paradise Town, he fell at least twenty heels and broke a hundred small trees.

At such a high speed, it is not trivial to collide with anything, so mastering the direction of progress and grasping the location of the foothold itself requires a high degree of concentration, not to mention that he is still constantly "flashing" and leaping.

Even if the rhythm of "flickering" and taking off is not perfectly coordinated, you can stumble into the bushes or rocks at any time, knocking various objects into the air.

Fortunately, his body is strong enough, and if an accident of this magnitude occurs, he will not be severely injured, and such a new way of exercising is also a kind of cultivation.

For Chang Lelai, not only meditation and fighting are cultivation, but running is also an excellent practice, because gritting one's teeth and persevering after exhaustion is also a breakthrough in one's personal limits and a polishing of one's soul.

A new element has been added: the frequent application of the power of time and space.

Although the flicker of the body is small, it is far from the real teleportation, but every step out is equivalent to another experience of time and space.

Of course, the original intention of running so wild was not for cultivation, but to save people!

Just think of Betty's innocent and pretty smile, and his tired body and lead-filled legs will be full of strength again.

He doesn't care about the "ten-day period", the sooner he rescues Betty, the better, and let the girl stay in the demon castle for a moment longer, the more dangerous it will be!

So, from early morning to dusk, he rested only four times, including two stops at Kassel and Séniniek, and a brief hesitation at the crossroads, and the rest of the time he ran desperately.

The cold wind howled in the wilderness, but he was drenched in sweat!

Twelve hours, 1,900 kilometers, and a running record unimaginable to mankind was set.

But this is still only the beginning, and there is a longer and more perilous journey ahead, and a necessary rest is inevitable.

It wasn't until the gray outline of Fort Stanley appeared on the horizon that Changle slowed down.

This place can be regarded as his "capital", but he rarely lives there, and today he is just as hurried, walking quickly between the saluting defenders, and hastening back the salute while letting the soldiers give orders:

"Tell Lola, Phil, and Blue Moon to come to me immediately!"

Many of his old subordinates, such as Miranda, Louis and others are all cadres, but these three are the core.

As a soul servant, Blue Moon didn't need to be called by the herald, just send a message to notify herald, and the reason why her name was added was so that the soldiers could hear and understand that Blue Moon was on par with Lola and Skinny Monkey.

Blue Moon's command ability is far inferior to the other two, but it is better than loyalty, and the soul servant will never betray.

The less time Changle spent in the army, the more worried he became about loyalty, Marshal Fontaine was afraid that he would become a warlord and take away his military power, and he himself was also afraid that the soldiers would be too loyal to someone and create a hidden danger of splitting.

However, the order was passed on, and Lola in the castle and the thin monkey who went out to patrol arrived one after another, but Blue Moon was delayed.

"What's going on? What are you doing? I'll let you know sooner than anyone else!" Chang Le asked sharply in his mind.

"I'm sorry, master, I'll be there soon!" Even if it was the idea message, Blue Moon's panic was obvious.

"I'm asking, what are you doing!"

"I ...... I'm ...... with Jason Boating and playing, now on shore......"

"Then you don't need it, go back to the boat, and have fun!"

After all, it is not a time of war, and it is not outrageous for a certain general to go out to have fun, Chang Le did not have the patience to wait for her, and immediately started a meeting with two henchmen and generals, asking if there was anything special to ask.

As a result, Lola and the skinny monkey are not worry-free.

Both of them were very excited, because during Chang Le's absence, they led their army to a great victory, defeating the crusading army of the crown prince's superior forces, and it was inevitable that they wanted to brag about their glorious history.

But Chang Le didn't want to hear this, so he waved his hand again and again to stop it:

"I still have urgent matters, and I'll talk about the glorious deeds later, if there are any difficult questions, ask me now!"

"Okay!" Lola first threw out one of the most difficult questions to solve, "Boss, you often go away for months, and no one cares about it at home, who has the final say between me and the skinny monkey?"

Skinny Monkey is equally anxious to settle the dispute over who has the final say.

Chang Le had already ordered this, and when he left, Lola was the leader, and the thin monkey was the auxiliary.

The pair of old enemies fought during the military academy, but in fact, they complemented each other's advantages, Lola bravely crowned the three armies, and the thin monkey was shrewd, and the cooperation between the two was a "perfect match", but because the former's personal charm was more popular with soldiers, it was more reasonable to respect her.

At the same time, he also told Lorado to listen to the advice of the thin monkey, only in this way can the effect of "complementarity" be played, and it is this instruction that has caused countless arguments between the two.

A pair of "perfect matches" in Chang Le's heart, they don't like each other in every way.

Lola thinks that the skinny monkey is timid, and always makes simple things complicated after thinking about everything;

The skinny monkey in turn accuses Lola of being reckless and impulsive and putting the troops in danger.

Take the battle of defeating the crusading army as an example, the two of them quarreled with each other when they commanded the battle, and finally Lola forcibly unified their opinions by personal force, which does not mean that the thin monkey is really convinced.

Speaking of this, the thin monkey got up angrily and dropped his hat, pointed at Lola, and looked at Chang Le:

"Boss, do you know? The big tyrannosaurus wants to charge in formation during the day! The enemy's strength is twice as large as ours! Her little heavy cavalry has long been gone, and she is not looking for death with light cavalry to charge the infantry spear formation? I object, she, she actually kicked my ass! In front of the junior officers!"

"If you don't talk a word, the ghost will kick you!"

Lola got up and pushed it out, and the skinny monkey screamed and disappeared, leaving only the sound of impact and thumping in the distance.

She also has her point:

"Is the Zalan heavy infantry ruthless? I smashed the walnuts with a hammer and smashed them all the same! As far as Frank's rabble of 10,000 people, the thin monkey still wanted to lure the enemy into an ambush, and I said that it was called taking off his pants and farting, so I kicked him to ventilate! It turned out that when the cavalry rushed, the enemy collapsed!"

Speaking of the word "collapse", Lola slammed her palm on the table to make a strong noise, and the table collapsed.

"Tyrannosaurus, you're a loser!" the thin monkey scolded from afar, but didn't dare to get any closer, and then lobbied Chang Le, "Boss, you also said that I am more suitable to be a commander than Lola, she is only suitable for leading the charge, and tactics should listen to me!"

Of course, Lola was not convinced, and ridiculed the thin monkey as a coward, and when he calculated the gains and losses a hundred times in advance, such a person is suitable for business and should not lead troops.

In fact, both of them have a point, the tactics of the thin monkey can reduce their own casualties and be more "cost-effective", but it is inevitable that the enemy will "lose unconvinced", while Lola's style of play is more imposing, and she can beat the enemy painfully and fearfully, and she will not dare to attack for a long time in the future.

Just like Chang Le's previous argument with Amy, the words of both sides sound reasonable alone, but they are like two parallel lines that never intersect.

Chang Le was in a hurry to set off to save people, but when he heard them quarrel like this, his head almost exploded, and he immediately parted his arms and made a gesture of pressing down and quietly:

"Enough!"

The room finally fell silent for a while.

"Sit down!" Chang Le looked helpless, and his tone was helpless.

Then he stomped back and forth around the room with a frown, really stumped by the question.

It's true that the thin monkey is more thoughtful and suitable to be a commander, but Lola is more prestigious among the soldiers, and if Lola is not at the head, there are also hidden dangers.

And no matter how this question is answered, choosing any one person to "have the final say" will seriously hurt the feelings of the other person.

In the end, Chang Le sighed quietly:

"It seems that you are incompatible, and one of you must leave. ”

The two generals were silent for a while, and the thin monkey suddenly replied in a low voice:

"It's not that serious......"

"She's going to beat you to death, isn't it serious?" Chang Le shouted.

The thin monkey scratched his head and smiled sheepishly:

"I can't blame her, for so many years, she has been used to it, and I am also used to it......"

Chang Le walked up to Lola, who was sitting with her head bowed, leaned over to her ear, and said softly:

"In the end, you launched the night attack charge at night, or did you borrow the advice of the thin monkey?"

"Hmph, I can win during the day!"

Chang Le shook his head, no longer rambling with them, pressed the thin monkey's shoulder with his left hand, pressed Lola with his right hand, and patted at the same time:

"Give you a month, if you still don't get along, I'll tear you apart!"

With that, he turned and walked briskly out of the conference room.

The two generals behind him asked questions almost at the same time:

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Demon Castle!"

The new food he bought from Sesnek was also taken out of the beast soul space and unloaded in the courtyard, and he could set off directly after the meeting.

But he always felt that he owed something.

That's when Wendy appears.

The sixteen-year-old little princess is the fastest growing age of the girl, tall, graceful, innocent and childlike to a pretty beauty, only the naughty and cunning naughty temperament has not changed.

At this moment she pouted, stopped at the door of the castle hall, and paused to ask:

"Big-Tongued, where have you been since you been back for so long? Are you going to see Fanny?"

Chang Le's face was suddenly full of warm smiles, and he could see Wendy and say a few words before he could leave with peace of mind.

"I'm practicing, deep meditation ......"

"I've been cultivating for so long, liar!I've been waiting for you for three months!" Wendy pursed her mouth even higher, "Fanny is already married to my brother, you can't go to her again, otherwise it's immoral!"

At this moment, Chang Le remembered the instigation of the thin monkey again: "The crown prince dares to pick up your broken shoes, and you can also sleep with his sister."

In fact, he has long wanted to "sleep" Wendy, not for revenge, but out of irrepressible love.

When he unknowingly falls in love with Wendy, he is only fourteen years old, a smart and mischievous little elf, and a kind and cute little magician, and he doesn't know Fanny at all.

The urge to "sleep" more than once, that time sleeping together in the forest, and later looking at the moon side by side on the outskirts of Cessniek, Wendy was ready to accept any intimacy even if she didn't understand the affairs of men and women, but Changle didn't put it into action.

In the past, I suppressed my emotions, just because the other party was a princess, and the huge difference in status cut off the possibility of being together.

Now Changle is a lawless robber who doesn't care about Wendy's identity, but the little princess's "Bright Soul" has been recognized by the church, and her real future lies in the "Holy Maiden of Light" and in "becoming a god", rather than being a robber's wife.

His love for Wendy lasted longer and deeper than his love for Fanny.

Even the initial acceptance of Fanny's feelings was to forget.

Because of this, he has always thought about Wendy's future and happiness, and it is the same now.

"The Church of Light's suggestion, think about it again, and wait for me to come back and talk to you. ”

After Chang Le finished speaking solemnly, he walked out from Wendy's side.

"Where are you going, it's getting dark!" Wendy tugged at his sleeve.

"Rush to save people!"

"Why are you always saving people?"

"Because there are always little fools like you, caught in a daze!"

"Is she pretty?"

Wendy pursed her lips again, and her little hand that grabbed Changle's sleeve still refused to relax,

Without waiting for Chang Le to answer, she laughed again, and ran to the stairs with her sweetheart:

"Come with me upstairs and show you the picture book I made! And the little puppet I made!"

"Can you still make up a book?"

Chang Le is very curious about this, and he is also happy to accompany Wendy to share her innocent innocence, but he really has no mood and no time now, so Betty can't stand it for a moment surrounded by ghosts.

"You play by yourself first, wait for me to come back!"

In this way, he still broke free from Wendy's grasp and hurried out of the castle.

When I turned around, I saw Wendy leaning against the door, and her face seemed to have tears.

"Come back and comfort this little girl!" Chang Le felt a little sorry in his heart, but he didn't stop.

In one day, 1,900 kilometers, the journey to the Demon Castle has been halfway completed, but the truly difficult journey is still ahead.

Heading west from Fort Stanley was out of the borders of the Havilland Empire, and out of the vast plains.

In order not to lose his way, he had to follow the Starr River, starting at a certain pass, and the upper reaches of the river were surrounded by canyons.

Therefore, the rest of the road is mountainous, and in such a complex environment, it is difficult for his "flashing" ability to take effect again, so he can only rely on his hands and feet, relying on strength and agility to fight against the difficult terrain.

In addition, there are cold winds in the highlands, frost on the cliffs, and sneak attacks from various poisonous insects and beasts.

All of this cannot stop Chang Le's progress, which is a test of physical strength and a tempering of the soul.

In his "Inner Universe", the star track that was suppressed by the Elf Queen at the beginning of "upgrading to four levels in a row" has now recovered one by one, and it is still a breakthrough in a short period of time, but this time there is no longer the problem of "unstable foundation", whether it is the accumulation of source power or the tempering of the soul, it is completely in place.

His true strength went from a level 2 battle spirit to the peak, and he was steadily advancing towards the next bottleneck of the "Super Peak".

The Dou Qi realm is still the pinnacle battle master, but he has a battle spirit-level "stellar core", as well as a strong body and huge strength given by the cultivation of the beast soul.

In today's Eastern Continent, he can be ranked in the top ten.

But Chang Le will never take this lightly, the Demon Castle, the Source of Darkness, that is the forbidden area that the War Sect Elliot does not dare to set foot in!

When he finally climbed another peak, stepped on the sea of clouds under his feet, stood firm in the wind, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky and the bright moon.

"Big brother, why is the moon full and absent?" Wendy's innocent voice seemed to come from his ears.

Chang Le subconsciously looked around, the crazy girl didn't follow, and it was impossible to keep up.

It's an illusion.

But now is not the time to miss Wendy, and neither should we!

He shook his head, drove away the distracting thoughts, and reached out to wipe the beads of sweat that had frozen into ice on his forehead:

"Can't stop, before sunset tomorrow, we must kill the demon castle!"
