Seeing the long-lost North Gate Fortress, everyone in the team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally arrived home. Everyone's faces naturally showed happy smiles, and they looked at the rebuilt fortress with kindness in their eyes.

The fat man Yan Qiu walked quickly to the gate of the fortress, opened his throat and shouted: "Little ones, open the gate for Uncle Ben, Uncle I'm back!"

"It's the Commander who is back! The Commander is back!"

"It's back! it's really back!"

There were bursts of cheers from the head of the fortress, and the gate of the fortress quickly opened, and a group of more than a dozen soldiers rushed out of the doorway.

One by one, they happily greeted the fat man Yan Qiu, and when Yan Qiu saw that only such a little person came out, he asked a little confused: "Why are you such a little person, other people?"

"Commander, you're back! if you don't come back, you won't see us anymore!"

"What?!" the fat man Yan Qiu asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on?"

"Alas, what else could it be? The 'bloody war' had already broken out in advance, and the other brothers had already gone to the battlefield first, leaving us as the last group to stay. Li Zhuang, the leader of the leading team, said helplessly.

This kid is the captain of the Yan team, and like Li Xian, the captain of the Yan team, he is a little clever, so Yan Qiu still has a deep impression of him.

"What? How can this be? What about Zhong Li Mo? Hurry up and inform him to come over, and just say that we are back!" the fat man Yan Qiu commanded Li Zhuang a little anxiously after hearing this.

"The head of the Zhongli Sect can't come, and the vanguard troops who participated in the 'bloody battle' are led by him personally, and now only the captain of the Zhongli Que is left in the territory. Look, don't you let Captain Zhongli come over? Li Zhuang asked cautiously.

"The head of the Zhongli sect has already gone to the battlefield first?" the fat man Yan Qiu realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and he muttered to himself with a solemn face.

Zhong Li Mo was a very measured person, if he was not forced to do so, he would never have taken people to participate in the 'bloody battle' before they returned, and there must have been a reason why he had to go.

"Who is in charge in the territory now?, Mr. Ram?" Qin Tian also asked Li Zhuang with a frown. It wasn't long before the joy brought by the progress of the troops, but suddenly such an unexpected situation appeared, which made his face solemn.

"Back to the lord's words, it is Cui Zhenjun who is now the master of the territory. He himself is now in the lord's palace, and all the affairs of the territory are now in charge of him. Before leaving, Lord Zhongli had instructed us to wait until the Lord returned before joining the bloody battle. As for Mr. Ram, he has already left with the head of the Zhongli Sect!" Li Zhuang briefly made a report to Qin Tian about the situation in the territory.

"Cui Ming, is he still here?" Qin Tian was very surprised, because Cui Ming, as the head of the 'Xuanyuan Fleet', he should be on the battlefield of the 'Blood War' at this time, how could he still be delayed here?

"Since Mr. Ram is not here, then you should send someone to inform Zhong Li Que first, and ask him to come over and discuss the matter as soon as possible!" Since he couldn't figure out the reason, he could only let him learn some information from Zhong Li Que first.

"Yes, sir!"

Li Zhuang took the order and left, and Qin Tian came to the conference hall of the fortress with Ram Hong, Fat Man Yan Qiu, Liuli and others, and everyone looked at each other and was silent for a while.

Qin Tian looked around, then took the lead in breaking the calm and said, "It seems that the situation has changed, let's make another plan!"

"The situation is unclear now, let's wait for Zhong Lique to come over and understand the situation clearly before making plans!"

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that things are not good! It stands to reason that Li Mo will not be able to drag on for even a year and a half, but the reality is that he has already led the army to set off first. In my opinion, the Terran front line is probably not good, and it urgently needs a large number of troops to support, and we will probably be forced to go to the battlefield soon. Ram Hong said to Qin Tian with a solemn face.

"What does Mr. Ram mean is that the Terran front line was tight from the beginning? Wouldn't this be too fast, and if so, how could the Terran survive decades of war?" Li Ze asked Ram Hong in surprise.

"Yes! Mr. Ram. If the Terrans were so struggling for the first year, and even the troops of a small force like ours had to be transferred up, how could the Terrans last so long?" Le Yu was also very surprised.

"I'm afraid it's because we're a small force that we let us go first!Hmph!" said the fat man Yan Qiu with a sneer.

"Uh? The Commander means ... Are they using us as cannon fodder?" Le Yu looked incredulous.

"These bastards!" the Iron Pillar and Iron Egg brothers scolded viciously.

"Scum!" Liu Hai, who rarely spoke, couldn't help but scold.

Ram Hong nodded helplessly and said: "This kind of thing is very common in big wars, and no one is willing to use their own descendants to die. Those big clans claim to be the pillars of the human race, and this kind of death will naturally not let their own people go first. And a small force like us has no power and no power and does not have enough strength to resist, so it is naturally the best candidate for cannon fodder. ”

"His grandmother's actually treats us like fish belly!" Da Niu scolded indignantly.

"If we don't have the huge increase in strength we have now, then compared to the troops of those big clans, we can really only be regarded as fish belly troops. Li thought about it, and then reluctantly admitted it. Although he understands this truth, when he is really used as cannon fodder by others, Li Ze's heart is still full of unwillingness and injustice.

Zhong Li Que hurried to the meeting hall, and as soon as he saw Qin Tian and the others, he shouted happily: "Lord, I can be regarded as waiting for you to come back!"

"What about your uncle, why did he take the army to the battle first, won't you delay it?" the fat man Yan Qiu asked loudly as soon as he saw Zhong Lique.

Zhong Li Que said aggrievedly: "It's not that we don't want to delay time, but Cui Ming Zhenjun said bluntly that if we don't take the initiative to go, then we can only let other troops escort us." That's why my uncle had to come up with a batch of countermeasures and take the troops to the war first. ”

"Cui Ming Zhenjun?" the fat man Yan Qiu's brows furrowed tightly, could it be that he did it on purpose?

"What's going on in the territory now? "Since the matter has become a fact, then we can only accept it first, Yan Qiu raised his head and asked Zhong Lique.

"Now all the affairs in the territory have been taken over by Cui Ming. Except for our group of follow-up troops who are ready to set off to participate in the 'bloody battle', the rest of us have been disrupted by their people and redivided into jurisdictions. Even the smelter and the master of iron smelting have been expanded, and a large number of blacksmiths have been added from other places, and the scale has more than doubled compared to the original, but the control of the master iron smelter has decreased a lot. Zhong Lique said helplessly.

"What about the mines?"

"In addition to our original people, tens of thousands of young people have also been recruited from outside to supplement the mining team. Now the people in it are very complex, and we have basically lost the ability to manage. ”

"It seems that this Cui Ming wants to swallow our entire Cold Spring Collar in one go!" The fat man Yan Qiu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he and others had managed the Cold Spring Collar for so long, but they didn't expect it to be disintegrated so easily by Cui Ming.

"How many troops do we have left?" Qin Tian heard that he had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the territory, and he asked directly to Zhong Li Que.

"All of them add up, and there are still three thousand left! This is specially selected by my uncle, and these people can only stay after practicing internal strength. My uncle said that he had lived up to the expectations of the lord, and hoped that this remaining division would be of help to the lord. Zhong Lique said a little choked.

Zhong Li Mo left almost the entire core of the Cold Spring Army behind, and he only took the weakest group of people. Participating in a brutal 'bloody battle' with such strength is not much different from sending them to death.

And this is also the reason why he insists on leading the team himself, he does not want to chill the hearts of the soldiers and make them think that they have been abandoned. He wanted to convince the soldiers that even if they died, he, the head of the army, would die with them.

Qin Tian's brows furrowed deeply, he could imagine the tragedy and grandeur when Zhong Li Mo led the troops to the battle, and he could think of the disappointment when the soldiers went out to see him as a lord. He took a deep breath, then patted Zhong Li Que's arm and said, "Don't worry! Whether it's dead or alive, I, Qin Tian, will bring them back!"

"Lord!" finally Li Que held back tears for a long time, and finally flowed irrepressibly.

Qin Tian looked at him with a firm face, nodded at him and said, "Put away your tears and fight like a man." We haven't lost yet, the battle has just begun!"

"Yes, lord!" finally Li Que wiped away his tears and replied loudly to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian turned his head and glanced at Yan Qiu and Ram Hong, and then said firmly: "Let's go find Cui Ming and see what he wants?"

So Qin Tian took Yan Qiu, Ram Hong, Liuli and others to the Hanquan Lord's Mansion, and the guards in front of the mansion had been replaced by monks. The murderous aura faintly emanating from them let Qin Tian know that these were the elites who had been in a hundred battles.

Cui Ming seemed to have known about their arrival, so he asked people to wait for them at the gate in advance. Under the leadership of a Jindan real person in Tsing Yi, Qin Tian and the others finally saw Cui Ming again.

Cui Ming was sitting on the main seat in the main hall of the reception hall, tasting a pot of fragrant spiritual tea, and looked at Qin Tian and the others who slowly walked into the hall with a comfortable expression.

Qin Tian took the lead and saluted respectfully to Cui Ming, and then said straight to the point: "Lord Cui Ming, we have found the demon clan's teleportation circle according to your lord's order and destroyed it!"

At Qin Tian's signal, Huan'er took out some of the broken parts of the teleportation circle from the storage bag and placed them on the ground in the hall.

Cui Ming took a closer look at the parts of the magic circle on the ground with some surprise, then nodded and said: "Well! This teleportation circle is indeed the style of the demon race, since this is the case, then even if you complete this task! Now you can make a request, but before that, I still have to remind you of one thing." I can only agree to what I can ask you for, and don't open my mouth if something goes too far. ”
