General Qian didn't speak, turned around, glanced at Tang Yingjie with his dark green eyes mixed with a hint of silver, and returned the salute. A hint of disdain flashed through the depths of his eyes. In the entire military circle of Cangling Country, any general like him who has worked hard from ordinary soldiers step by step basically doesn't like Tang Yingjie, a young and high-ranking son of a wealthy family. Generally speaking, with the exception of those spirit masters who are extremely gifted or have extremely rare special abilities, ordinary people who want to be promoted from ordinary soldiers or non-commissioned officers to generals must at least wait until they are at least forty to forty-five years old, no matter which country they are in on the mainland. Although according to the unwritten conventions of the Cangling* world, the twelve generals of Cangling generally have military positions, and at least major generals, a twenty-eight-year-old spirit general like Tang Yingjie is really unprecedented. He is a high-ranking military officer and a border commander, so he naturally belongs to one of the few high-level national officials who know more about the twelve spirit generals. He remembered that when the consuls appointed Tang Yingjie to succeed the evil fire spirit general, many military officers and national legislators expressed strong opposition. In their opinion, for a general, it is far from enough to have a personal cultivation talent, and it is even more unreliable to be in a high position at a young age. What's more, Tang Yingjie is still the son of the head of the Xingyan faction, even if he is not a gentleman, at least he is likely to be just a rich second generation who can talk on paper.

"What's the matter, General Qian, is it the enemy's spirit division troops who are coming?" Tang Yingjie waved his hand as if he was completely unaware of General Qian's cold attitude.

"No," General Qian shook his head, "General Tang, I just received the news that there was a spirit beast riot in the Demon Sound Forest in the rear. ”

"Oh," Tang Yingjie patted his head, "You said this, it's okay, you don't have to worry about this." The Light Spirit General and the Ice Spirit General have already taken care of it. The Joint Command also sent people over. I estimate that the riot has been largely contained and will not affect the front and rear. ”

"Hmm, is it?" General Qian was a little unconvinced.

"Really," Tang Yingjie smiled, "Have you forgotten that our twelve spirit generals can sense each other's positions within a certain distance through the twelve spirit cores? With the strength of light and ice and snow, plus the permanent troops in the rear, it should be enough to restrain the Demon Sound Demon Bat Group." ”

"Huh. ”

General Qian smiled faintly and glanced out of the gate. The color of the ice on the Dingshui River seems to have become a little lighter.

"I don't know if the enemy knows about this. If they knew, they would definitely send someone to try a sneak attack. ”

"Hmph," Tang Yingjie snorted, with both a bit of smugness and a bit of disdain, "With their reconnaissance ability, they will definitely know about this." The spirit beast riot is a big deal, and it can't be covered. As long as they dare to come, I will let them come back!"

The officers and non-commissioned officers on both sides turned their eyes on him. The emotions in everyone's eyes are different, but most of them have a bit of a lively expression on their faces.

"Heh," General Qian smiled lightly again and turned around, "Then there is General Lao Tang." ”

"It's nothing," Tang Yingjie continued to pretend not to understand General Qian's tone, "My troops have been trained and matured. Tests of various new weapons have also been completed. There is no problem in intercepting and killing the enemy's reconnaissance units and ordinary spirit troops. ”

"That's great," said General Qian, "but, General Tang, we still don't know much about the Blazing Assault Force. Ever since you and they came here to guard with us, you've been training in isolation. ”

"Actually, it's nothing," Tang Yingjie waved his hand, "It's just a special force." Several new types of firearms are being developed by the central government. These firearms are all ordinary firearms with spiritual power transmission devices, which can be regarded as transitional versions of real demon spirit weapons. ”

"Report!" a loud shout rang out from downstairs.

"Come in!" General Qian said in a loud voice.

A scout in crimson armor ran up to the second floor and gave a standard military salute to everyone on the second floor of the city gate tower. Judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power, he should be an ordinary spirit master in the reconnaissance team of the Blazing Force.

"Report to General Qian and General Tang! Two enemy spirit division troops have been found in the northwest and southwest of the Dingshui River! They are still about two or three kilometers away from Dingshui Pass!"

"What?"

General Qian flashed and instantly stood in front of the scout. Tang Yingjie also walked over quickly. The Scout's face changed, and he was nearly crushed back by the two of them.

"What is the approximate number of enemy troops?How high is the average cultivation?What kind of attribute is it based on?Is there a particularly strong fluctuation of spiritual power?" A series of questions popped out of General Qian's mouth like a series of cannons.

"There is only one spirit master team in the northwest, and the number should be less than thirty," the scout replied, "The average spiritual power cultivation is less than the fourth order. There seems to be no reinforcement in their rear. There are two spirit master teams in the southwest, each with about fifty people, and the average spiritual power cultivation is about the fourth order and third level. The spiritual power attributes of both armies are dominated by dark attributes and ice attributes. ”

"Dark Attribute?Ice Attribute?" Tang Yingjie widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Only the Spirit Master Squad?

"No," replied the Scout, "we've only spotted these three spirit squads. The two spirit master teams from the southwest had strong spiritual power fluctuations, but they were not particularly strong, around the third level of the fifth order. Moreover, the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the two armies in the southwest that we perceived were unstable, rising and falling like waves. We didn't dare to get too close to them for fear of being discovered. ”

"Have you detected the activation of a large-scale invisibility technique or energy enchantment?" General Qian asked.

"Nope. The scout replied.

"Hmm......"

General Qian raised his hand, stroked his beard, turned around, and looked at the officers around him.

"General," said a lieutenant colonel who looked like a staff officer, "I think that the enemy may be trying to test our defenses again, or to harass or sabotage our defenses." ”

"Unlikely, isn't it?" said another staff officer with a lieutenant colonel's epaulettes, "and if that's the case, why aren't there any reinforcements? ”

"I don't think it's likely," said one colonel, "that if this information is entirely true, it probably doesn't make sense." It is difficult for a spirit master squad with an average cultivation of no more than the fifth order to cast a wide range of invisibility techniques or spiritual power enchantments, and even if they can do so, it is impossible not to be discovered by our army's reconnaissance team. ”

Tang Yingjie didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. If someone pays close attention to him, they will find that he has changed a bit of a person's feelings.

"General Tang?"

General Qian turned his head and saw Tang Yingjie close his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"What do you mean?"

Tang Yingjie opened his eyes, his fiery red eyes became brighter, and he really looked a bit like two superb red agate.

"This force should be the spirit division unit that sneaked past our army's defense line twice half a year ago, killing civilians and plundering wealth and resources. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?!"

Several officers and non-commissioned officers involuntarily screamed. Several of them were only transferred after a large number of generals guarding the Northwest Army were replaced, and they didn't know much about the fact that the first line of the Cangyan Mountain Range was broken through by the Dark Spirit Force half a year ago.

"They are commanded by the spirit generals of the Jianyan Kingdom," Tang Yingjie said, "and among the three teams currently coming to our side, it is very likely that they will be led by their spirit generals. Minimum of one person, maximum of three people. Their purpose is likely to be harassment and destruction. ”

"Then what do you think we should do now? Send the Spirit Division troops to snipe them?" General Qian asked.

"Well," Tang Yingjie nodded, "sniping them is a must." General Qian, my plan is that I lead the Blazing Assault Force to snipe the two forces in the southwest. The troops in the northwest asked the spirit division troops in the pass to be responsible for extermination. ”

"Huh?" General Qian was stunned, "isn't that good? Don't you need our cover and support? What if the enemy lays a trap?"

"No need," Tang Yingjie shook his head, "Judging from the number of enemies and the direction of movement, it doesn't look like they want to eat our spirit master troops in large numbers." When they went to the southwest, they should go to the junction of Cangyan Province and Xiliang Province, and find a place from the relatively weakest point of our defense line that could be used as a breakthrough point to prepare for the attack of the army. I'll lead the Blazing Troops, and that should be enough. More people can increase unnecessary casualties. Even if I encounter two enemy generals, I am sure that I will retreat with my troops. Moreover, if the intelligence is true, they will certainly not risk going deeper, because there are no receiving troops behind them. With their size and strength, it is impossible to cover a large number of ordinary troops with a large area of stealth techniques. And most importantly, if their ordinary troops also attacked, we could not have detected it. ”

The faces of more than a dozen officers and non-commissioned officers all became a little unpleasant. Several of them were relatively good mid-level spirit masters, and they were also the commanders of the spirit master troops stationed in Dingshui Pass. Tang Yingjie's words obviously carried a little contempt for their troops. Even if he didn't mean it, they could only understand it that way.

"Okay," General Qian didn't say anything, and nodded, "Then you can go." Do what you can. If there is any situation, feel free to send us a signal for help. ”

"Okay. Good luck with a successful start. ”

Tang Yingjie didn't speak again, straightened the helmet on his head, saluted General Qian and all the other officers and non-commissioned officers, and turned around and went down the city gate.

"This cocky guy. ”

A relatively young non-commissioned officer looked at Tang Yingjie's back and muttered in a low voice. General Qian glanced back at him and didn't speak, as if acquiescing.

Chongyun Pass.

"Are you sure? Nothing went wrong?"

"That's right, General. Absolutely true. ”

"Okay. I know. ”

Qiu Bai waved his hand and motioned for the scout to go back. The eight spirit master officers around him all looked at him at the same time.

"General, what now?" asked the fiery red-haired female major.

"What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to support Don and them. ”

Qiu Bai waved his hand and glanced northeast. The mountains that had caused the avalanche were all quiet, and there was no sign of any movement.

"Go and deliver my commands. The second and third spirit division regiments went to snipe and attack the spirit division team on the front line of the Cangyan Mountain Range. The First Spirit Master, follow me to the northeast and go to the line of the Dingshui River. Their target must be the junction of Cangyan and Xiliang. ”
