Chapter Eighty-Eight: Covering Your Ears and Stealing the Bell II

"What?"

"Xiliang Sea?"

"What are you going to do over there? Do you want to start a new offensive from there? Or do you want to open up one more front?"

"Xiliang Province is mainly by sea...... There are few overland routes...... Are they going to use the spirit division troops to cooperate with the navy to attack our seaport?"

Almost all the officers in the room couldn't help it, and they began to talk about it. [Ran^Text^Library] []c

"Please be quiet. ”

Huber stood up from another chair and waved to a room of officers. Two dazzling blue-gold rays of light emanated from the lieutenant general's epaulettes on his shoulders, shaking several times in a row. He wears a mask that covers the lower half of his face, revealing only the half of his face above the bridge of his nose. The meeting was attended not only by high-ranking generals, but also by many middle-ranking military officers. For some people whose rank is not enough, his physiognomy is classified.

"General Qiu......" The major general sitting in the main seat turned his head and glanced at Qiu Bai. Although, in terms of position, he was the temporary commander of the various units of the Yandang Pass Resident Army, Qiu Bai's military rank was one rank higher than him, and he had more combat experience than him. What's more, there are almost not many officers and soldiers in the Northwest Army of the Cangling Army who don't know Qiu Bai and the First Spirit Division Regiment under his direct command.

"Listen to him first. Qiu Bai said lightly.

"Okay, General," the herald saluted to Qiu Bai, "as far as we can see, the size of that Spirit Division force is not large, probably less than the size of a battalion or one or two brigades. But the average spiritual power level of that force was very high, and almost every target's spiritual power level was around the fourth order, and there were even a few strong ones among them......"

"How strong is it?" Qiu Bai's eyes instantly became sharp, "Can you detect it?"

"It's difficult," the herald was a little embarrassed, "The cultivation of those strong men is very different from ours, and we can't sense their specific cultivation...... But we estimate that their cultivation may have reached the sixth order......"

"What?" the entire command exploded again.

"Hmm......" Qiu Bai frowned, slowly moving the spiritual power in his body. A faint stream of air swung around the entire command headquarters several times, turning back behind him, making a "ding" that was difficult for ordinary ears to hear.

"Is their target really the Xiliang Sea? are you sure?" the Major General raised his voice.

"I'm not sure. "But we reckon it should be." ”

Qiu Bai sat back in the chair behind him and made a loud noise. Several officers couldn't help but look at him. None of them had ever seen him look like this.

"General Qiu?" the major general turned his head and glanced at Qiu Bai.

"Nothing, Major General Lan," said Huber, "I think I know what the plan of the rats in the gutter is. They wanted to hide their true purpose with a massive troop build-up. If you don't deal with them much, you won't know what it means to cover your ears and steal the bell. ”

"General Qiu...... I don't quite understand what you mean......" A lieutenant colonel standing on the periphery of the command table squeezed forward and looked up at Qiu Bai.

"It's okay," Huber waved his hand, "you don't need to understand yet. I'm afraid this matter is not something we can solve directly. The enemy has increased its troops, and we cannot not fail to deal with it. It's hard for us to get people to track that force right now. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Major General Lan.

"We can only consult General Yu first, and then the joint command," Qiu Bai said, "and the joint command will receive this information soon." Until they approve it, we cannot act on our own, let alone divide our forces to pursue them without authorization. What's more, that spirit division force is currently only operating within the territory of the enemy. It would be very unrealistic for our Psychic troops to track down or pursue that force across the border. ”

"Well," Major General Lan nodded, "I agree with General Qiu. At this time, it is better to wait for the order from the headquarters. ”

"But will headquarters receive this information as soon as possible?" asked one colonel.

"No problem," Qiu Bai waved his hand, "Even if the headquarters doesn't have time to deploy troops, the Xiliang Province side will be enough to deal with this situation." I can tell you that the headquarters has sent a spirit general to the Western Liang Province to solve the problem. ”

"That's good," Major General Lan nodded, turning to face the herald, "We already know the situation." You go back first. First, you continue to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, and as soon as you find any unusual behavior of the enemy, immediately report it back, and don't startle the snake. ”

"Yes!" the herald saluted all the officers in the room with his head held high, and walked quickly out of the headquarters.

Huber got up from his seat again and glanced in the direction the herald had left. A hint of worry appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an emotion mixed with firmness and tenderness.

Xiaoyuan...... And sure enough, you're here too...... Although, I don't want you to see the real war so early...... It's a pity that Master has military affairs in his body, so he can't protect you personally for the time being...... But I believe that you will definitely give me and yourself glory...... I, Qiu Bai's apprentice, will never be worse than anyone else...... What's more, you still have 'his' blood in you......

The middle of the Sarin Mountains. Inside the dungeon.

"Cough, cough, cough......"

Ye Hengyuan raised his hands and released a strong cyan air current, blowing away all the gray-brown smoke in front of him. But after only a few seconds, the smoke came to him again, and he couldn't open his eyes and coughed repeatedly. He had to release a whirlwind that enveloped himself and Li Wenxin's bodies.

The soldiers of the third battalion of the Fourth Spirit Division also had to release their spiritual power and martial spirits to drive away the thick smoke from the explosion, as well as the rubble that fell all over the cave. Several healers also had to heal the evil spirits who had been accidentally smashed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, brothers!" a loud grinning voice came from the smoke.

Ye Hengyuan and Li Wenxin worked at the same time, and together they expanded the whirlwind, blowing a gap in the center of the smoke in front of them. What appeared in front of them was none other than Tang Yingjie, the evil fire spirit general in full uniform. Immediately behind him were Xue Mengyi and Leng Han, who looked helpless, as well as several other commanders of the Blazing Force. Then, the officers and men of the Blazing Flame Force formed a three-way column in mid-air and slowly descended from the sky. Under the command of the squad leader and squadron leader, the spirit masters released one fire after another to re-illuminate the dark cave. The passage that contained the Blazing Flames had at least doubled in size in the violent explosion, and a large chunk had sunk into it, and almost the entire stone wall had been blasted into more potholes, bumps, and pitch black, like a terrifying mouth.

The little girl who was hovering beside the major holding the dragon's head staff immediately trembled with fright when she saw Tang Yingjie, as if she had seen something terrible. She hurriedly urged her spiritual power to fly forward and hide behind Ye Hengyuan. The whirlwind surrounding Ye Hengyuan didn't seem to have any blocking effect on her.

"General!" Ye Hengyuan and Li Wenxin saluted Tang Yingjie at the same time. Not only Ye Hengyuan, but Li Wenxin has also seen the temper and temperament of Tang Yingjie, a "half-hung general". For this greeting method similar to that of the eldest brother greeting the younger brother, they both said that they were not surprised.

"General!" all the officers and men of the third battalion of the Fourth Spirit Division Regiment immediately turned around and saluted Tang Yingjie. They could all feel the special spiritual power fluctuations released by the core of the evil fire, and they could all recognize the epaulettes of the major general on Tang Yingjie's shoulders. No one had a look of surprise or surprise on their faces.

"Hehe," Tang Yingjie smiled heartily, "Xiaoyuan, didn't I tell you, don't always call me general, just call me big brother." ”

"Uh......" Ye Hengyuan suspected that something was wrong with his ears and shook his head vigorously. General Tang ...... It's too casual, isn't it...... Is it okay to croak in front of so many soldiers, especially since it's not time to relax......

Xue Mengyi, who was standing beside Tang Yingjie, also had an embarrassed expression, and her round white and tender little face was extremely entangled. The cold on the other side was not strange, but he kept releasing the ice attribute spiritual power in his body to drive away the heat released by Tang Yingjie.

"Brothers!" Tang Yingjie announced loudly to everyone in the entire cave, "I, along with the two spirit envoys and the Blazing Flame Force, have opened the central underground palace and opened the treasure vault and prison cells of the Five Beast Gang and their accomplices......

"Boom, boom!" two explosions rang out from the left and right sides of the cave at the same time. Two large boulders, the size of a giant bear, fell from the rock walls on either side and landed on the cave floor with two loud bangs. Dozens of spirit masters couldn't help but look to the left and right.

"Report!"

"Report!"

The two teams of spirit masters formed a column and flew into the cave from the two cave entrances. The two commanders at the head each shouted a report like a thunderstorm. It was the two company commanders of the 1st and 2nd companies.

"Uh......" This time it was Tang Yingjie's turn to be embarrassed.

"The left passage has been searched! The company has captured all the stubborn enemies!"

"The right passage has been searched, no enemies have been found!"

The voices of these two company commanders are one top and one loud, and they are definitely good at selling vegetables in the vegetable market.

"Very good," Tang Yingjie raised his voice again, "We have also annihilated and captured all the enemies, unlocked the energy magic circles in the central and southern underground palaces, and rescued most of the hostages. It's just that we haven't been able to find the leaders of the Five Beasts and their accomplices. ”

"Most?" Ye Hengyuan didn't react.

"Part of the hostages died. They were corrupted or sucked dry by evil magic. There are also some hostages who have been turned into *experiments* by the Five Beasts. ”

Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment and patted his forehead hard. What he heard was Xue Mengyi's words transmitted by the sound transmission technique. He saw that two crystal tears appeared in Xue Mengyi's eyes.
