Chapter 50: The Battle of Iwaki (6)
On the day that Ko Li and the others returned to Iwacheng, after a frenzied attack that lasted for a day and a night was fruitless, the orc army also had to suspend the offensive and retreat to the rear position to rest. Most of the warships in the rear camp were destroyed by Kouli, which seriously affected the plan of the Orc Clan's attack, coupled with the strong defensive strength of Iwacheng, and the serious casualties of ordinary Orcs, prompting the Orc high-level to withdraw their troops and reorganize the army to prepare for the next siege.
In the council hall of the city tower, everyone sat on both sides, and in the center sat An Bo and Shi Feng and other high-level officials, Kou Li faced An Bo and reported in a deep voice the completion of the task and the results.
"Great Elder, after leaving Iwacheng, we successfully broke through the interception of the orcs, reached the enemy's rear position, and destroyed most of the orc warships. Some of the elders died in battle. We met with the Night Empire's Dark Devil Cavalry, and I immediately led the elders to desperately break out of the enemy encirclement and return to Iwajo. This mission was able to be completed so smoothly, thanks to Ryan, if he hadn't pinned down most of the main forces of the Orcs, we wouldn't have been able to sneak into the enemy's rear and destroy the warship so easily. It's just that when we came back, we lost contact with him, which was a dereliction of duty on the part of the old man, and we asked the great elder to punish him heavily. After Koli finished speaking, he hung his head and waited for Ambo to deal with it.
After hearing the news reported by Koli, the entire hall became silent, and everyone was very happy that they were able to destroy the orc warship smoothly this time. Although it also lost some strong people, this result was still acceptable to everyone.
"Elder Kou, you did a good job on this mission. As for Ryan's affairs, don't blame yourself, we'll take care of it. You go back and make proper arrangements for those who are wounded, and the dead elders are to be dealt with according to the highest specifications of the Temple of the God of War, and if you need anything, you can go to Kezhesh and get it. Amber pondered for a while and said slowly.
"Yes. Thank you, Great Elder. Kou Li and the others bowed down and thanked them.
"Okay, I still have important matters to discuss with the city lord, so you all go down first. Amber nodded slightly and commanded.
Kou Li and the others bowed to the powerhouses of the major family forces around them, left the council hall, and went back to rest. After the repeated battles of the orcs, they have suffered a lot of losses in all aspects, and they need to be well conditioned before they can recover.
After Kou Li left, An Bo sighed, turned around and glanced at Shi Feng, and said, "How can you explain this matter to the capital?
After Sun Xiaofei showed his supreme cultivation talent, he received the attention of the God of War Temple and the upper echelons of the empire. Before he came to Rock City, An Bo and the others had received orders to pay attention to Sun Xiaofei's safety. Now that the latter has been separated on the battlefield, Ambo doesn't even know how to explain to the top.
"Gao Jian can't talk about it, in my opinion, we still report according to the truth, and I believe that the prince and others should understand our difficulties. Shi Feng thought for a moment and said with a light smile.
"Hmm...... I'll go first. City Lord, goodbye!" An Bo nodded, got up and said goodbye to Shi Feng, and the figure disappeared as soon as he took a step, and then appeared at the door, and disappeared in a flash.
"Melting Heaven and Earth, Half-Step Sanctuary!"
"The Great Elder's cultivation has reached the peak, and he is about to be promoted to become a Sacred Domain powerhouse. ”
All the powerhouses present had some eyesight, and they could see at a glance the body technique that An Bo had inadvertently revealed, and they had faintly stepped into the realm of a half-saint, and there was an exclamation at the scene.
If at this time, there is a Sacred Domain powerhouse sitting in Rock City, and all the powerhouses will also feel at ease. After all, the deterrent power of a Saint-rank powerhouse is definitely not trivial. Even if it is limited by the war agreement on the Via continent, it is by no means comparable to the powerhouses at the peak of the War Emperor. According to the war agreement signed between humans and beasts, the powerhouses of the Sanctuary cannot interfere in matters on the battlefield no matter what.
However, the powerhouse of the Holy Domain was cultivating somewhere, and the armies of both sides of the battle could not disturb him. If they rashly intrude into the latter's territory and be exterminated, it is also a matter of self-infliction, and the two sides must not disagree.
Amber left the council hall, and he didn't care much about how the powerhouses who remained in the hall felt when they saw his inadvertently revealed body. His mind was thinking about how to report these recent events in Iwaki to the top of the God of War Temple.
Ambo returned to her room, closed the door and went to the table. Move the things off the table and wave your sleeves. The light flashed on the table, and suddenly a simple-looking, carved mirror appeared.
Amber recited the incantation, and a powerful spiritual force poured into the mirror. In an instant, the mirror emitted a dazzling light, and then slowly squirmed like flowing water, and a blurred face appeared in the mirror.
This magic mirror can connect people who are tens of thousands of miles apart, as long as both sides stand in front of the magic mirror, after the spiritual power is activated, they can see each other on the mirror and hear each other's voices. The stronger the spiritual power, the more obvious and clear the effect will be. This kind of function is quite magical, but the method used is demanding, and relatively few people know how to master this method. And Ambo, as the Grand Elder of the War God Temple's Elder Regiment, was naturally one of the few people who had mastered this method.
"And the Prince!"
"Huh...... Elder Ambo!"
The face that appeared in the mirror was the prince. This is different from the prince and the other two giants, not by virtue of his great military exploits and strong strength to become the supreme decision-maker of the God of War Temple, but because of the imperial family, he sat in this position.
When the Temple of the God of War was first established, most of the members were followers of the founder of the empire, and the imperial family of the empire also put a lot of effort into it, in order to be able to use this power one day in the future to keep the royal bloodline passed on for a long time. The Temple of the God of War also follows the traditional rules, and among the three major leaders, there must be a place reserved for the royal family. Allowing the royal clan to always maintain a certain degree of control and decision-making power in the Temple of War is crucial for the stability of the empire.
"Lord, things ......"
Amber began to tell him about the recent events in Iwashi. Prince He's face was calm, and he listened quietly to the news reported by Ambo. With Amber's words, Prince He's brows were sometimes stretched, sometimes furrowed, revealing a thoughtful look.
"Elder Ambo, according to what you say, Iwaki is out of the crisis for the time being. It's just that Ryan I've heard his name, and he's a genius with a lot of talent. It's a pity, I don't know his whereabouts, his life and death are unknown?" said Prince He in a somewhat sentimental tone.
"That kid is not an ordinary person, I believe that he has his own natural appearance, so he should be fine. Amber nodded.
"Alright. Recently, the King of the Underworld will go to Rock City with my bad little girl. Let's make some arrangements first. "He and the prince no longer discussed Sun Xiaofei's matter, and explained another matter to An Bo.
When An Bo heard this, his face suddenly became a little surprised, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord Hades is coming to the front line? Okay, I'll go and order someone to prepare it right away." ”
Amber closed the magic mirror, ended the conversation with Prince He, and hurriedly went to tell Shi Feng and the others to arrange the reception of the arrival of the King of the Nether.
After An Bo and the others received the news from Prince He, they knew that King Cang Hades and Prince He's daughter, Lord Qiyang, were about to come to Iwacheng, so they began to get busy and actively prepare for what they met.
At this time, Sun Xiaofei controlled the Sky Sword, turned into a swift light, and went deep into the Fear Mountain Range to avoid the pursuers behind him. The size of the Sky Sword has increased, and it can accommodate Sun Xiaofei and Xiaohui standing on it. Moreover, there was also a short old man with an ugly face, sitting next to Sun Xiaofei.
A faint blue curtain of light enveloped their bodies, and the wind brought by Edgeworth's flight was resisted by the light curtain in front of them, and it did not affect them in the slightest.
"Boy, it's useless for you to arrest me. You'd better let me go, or you'll be in big trouble. ”
The old man was short in stature, ugly in appearance, with long grassy hair that reached to his knees, and wore a filthy robe that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time. Only his big black eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of cunning and wisdom.
Sun Xiaofei listened to his words, his face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "It's the same whether you are caught or not, and my trouble will not be less." ”
"Boy, do you know who I am, I am the elder of the goblin clan, if you dare to arrest me, my people and our goblin allies will not let you go. The old man's face was fierce, and his voice roared sharply.
"I don't bother you with this, I have my own way to deal with it. You've figured out how to answer me, right?" Sun Xiaofei smiled indifferently and said.
This ugly old man is an elder of the goblin clan and a master of mechanical development. When Sun Xiaofei was escaping from the pursuit of the orc army, he accidentally discovered the latter, so he took him captive and left, making the goblin clan in the beast clan furious, and they sent powerful mechanical chariots to chase him.
Sun Xiaofei tried several times to find out the method of making warships from the latter's mouth. It's just that the latter is experienced and not easy to convince. However, Sun Xiaofei also saw from this how important the latter's identity was, and it was by no means comparable to ordinary clan elders.
"Hmph...... boy, if you don't listen to me now, you will regret it in the future. The elder of the goblin clan knew that he couldn't convince Sun Xiaofei to dispel this idea, so he could only snort coldly and say some cruel words.
For his words, Sun Xiaofei completely ignored the past, and focused on controlling the Sky Sword, avoiding the powerful aura hidden in the Fear Mountain Range, and quickly flew through the air, entering the depths of the mountain range.
This time he was able to catch this elder of the goblin clan, and Sun Xiaofei himself felt very lucky. If you can find out some secrets from the latter's body, I believe it will be of great help to the defense of Iwajo. This old man was a key breakthrough in the whole war.
It's just that how to get what he wants to know from this weird-tempered, smelly and hard old man depends on Sun Xiaofei's ability.
Sun Xiaofei thought about it, and had already thrown off the pursuers behind him, and galloped through the small half of the Fear Mountain Range, and came to a huge naturally formed ravine. This place is filled with a thick and cold mist, and the wind blowing in front of you also carries this cold power, which can freeze people into sculptures in a single photo.
"No, boy, you take me there? You can't go in there, it's a stream of death, and if you go in, you'll die. Stop!" the goblin clan elder saw Sun Xiaofei galloping forward desperately, and was about to plunge headlong into the stream of death shrouded in cold mist. Immediately, his eyes widened and he screamed in horror.
However, Sun Xiaofei still ignored his warning and plunged headlong into the thick fog filled with cold. The sky behind him left a terrible scream from the elder of the goblin clan.
"Ah......h
