Chapter 333: The Situation Is Critical
The fire ignited, and with the oil of fire, a large amount of wood in the fortress began to burn. There is also a certain pattern and skill in the placement of this wood, which does not allow the fire to burn out in a short time, but slowly spreads.
Seeing that the fire had been completely ignited, Lianfeng yelled: "Let's go, go back as fast as possible." With that, he turned the horse's head, turned around and left. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer. Without troops, even if he fell into the siege of the demon army, he could only die of exhaustion in the end. Others followed, quickly withdrawing.
When the demon ** army chased here, they suddenly found that the entire fortress was set on fire. "Stop, rest here, we can't catch up with them. "Because of the pursuit, the demon master only brought a small number of the most elite demons.
Now that we can't catch up now, it's better to wait here for the arrival of the army behind and rest here first. This fire has been completely ignited, and it is simply not something they can extinguish at will. Detours from other places, too long.
You must know that this time they brought a full 200,000 demons, not counting the other ordinary soldiers in the future. In order to stabilize the Nanlin Kingdom, these ordinary soldiers, they can't say anything that can be used to make demons.
"Are we just letting them escape? Moyun looked annoyed. Originally, he was the general here. But because of a failure, he was brushed off. Now he can only be an adjutant, and the general has been replaced by a different person. If it weren't for his own cultivation being very high, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have this adjutant. Thinking of this, Mo Yun's heart was full of anger and grievance.
Seeing that he was about to take revenge, but the enemy ran away like this, and he was unwilling. Liao Jun squinted his eyes and glanced at it: "If you want to chase it, you can go by yourself." Anyway, you can't get through here, so you can go around it. ”
Demon Yun was speechless for a while, and walked around by himself, I am afraid that by the time it passes, the fire here will have already burned out. Lang spends so much time, why don't you rest here? But Liao Jun is now an army general, but he can't say anything.
"Okay, okay, don't fight, wouldn't it be good for us to rest here, and when the army catches up, we will collapse the border of Nanyun Country at one time, and all revenge will be avenged. If we can defeat Nanyun Kingdom in the east ahead of schedule, then our merits may be able to take our cultivation to a higher level. Speaking of this, several Demon Spirit Master generals felt a little drooling.
The group set up camp here, waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive. On the other side, Yunfei and Lianfeng and the others fled all the way, rushing towards the direction of the kingdom's western frontier city at the fastest speed.
Because it was reasonable for Lianfeng to place wood in the fortress, this fire burned for seven days and seven nights. With such sufficient time, Lianfeng and the others were finally evacuated and returned to the scope of Xijiang City. Before the people arrived, the news had already come back.
It was precisely because of this that Huo Hai received the news and asked him to go back. At this time, the fire was still burning in the border fortress of Nanlin Kingdom. After receiving the order, Huo Hai felt that something was wrong, and beckoned: "You rest first, I'll go back and take a look." As he spoke, he pulled over a horse, mounted it, and hurried in the direction of Xijiang City. If it weren't for something big happening, Grandpa wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Behind him, Hoji glanced at Huo Hai's back, gritted his teeth, mounted a horse again, and followed closely. The two of them ran back one after the other, and soon came to the fork in the road where they had separated from the army earlier.
When he arrived here, Huo Hai saw the returning army again, but this time it was different from when he left. When leaving, the group lined up in a neat line, full of spirit and high spirits all the way.
But when he came back this time, what Huo Hai saw was the remnants of the defeated army who kept fleeing back. Some of the riders were fine, rushing past them and running back. Many of those who run on their own two legs are already tired enough. As soon as he entered the Western Frontier Defense Line, he immediately fell to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or asleep.
"Hurry, follow behind, quickly carry these people away, and check if there are any injuries. "On the side of the Western Frontier Defense Line, the gate has already been opened, and the soldiers are doing their best to treat the wounded. At the same time, there are many people who guide the later people to enter quickly.
Huo Hai frowned. "The line is so long, what is the situation, is it defeated? "Huo Hai really feels like something is really wrong. If the front-line army is defeated and flees all the way back, it will not even have the strength to resist. This shows that the other side's army is definitely not a small number. It's not good, you have to go back and have a look, otherwise it will be troublesome.
"I've seen Young Master Huo. As soon as Huo Hai rode back on horseback, the soldiers on both sides saluted respectfully. Now the Huo family has truly ruled the western frontier. Huo Hai's identity is the same as the prince of Western Xinjiang, who dares to slack off.
Huo Hai ignored these people, rode through the gate of the defensive line, and ran back quickly. He was followed by Hodge, who looked as if he had become Hok's henchman. It's a pity that Huo Hai doesn't have time to pay attention to this follower now.
This place is very close to Xijiang City, and Huo Hai hurried all the way, and it only took about an hour to run from the mouth of the canyon to the edge of Xijiang City. The horses that sat down were already exhausted enough that they were about to die of exhaustion. Huo Hai scolded secretly in his heart, he didn't care so much. Get off the horse and ignore whether the horse will be exhausted or not.
With a movement of his feet, he ran towards the Western Frontier City. It is already possible to see the outline of the Western Frontier City, which can be reached in just a few minutes at the speed of Huo Hai. The soldiers at the gate, when they saw that Huo Hai was coming, didn't dare to stop them at all.
And now in order to accept the remnants of the soldiers, the gate has always been open. Huo Hai grabbed a soldier casually and asked loudly, "Where is the lord now?" "The lord refers to the lord of the Western Frontier, that is, Huo Hai's grandfather.
The guard hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Lord is now in the headquarters, and the head of the family is also there. After getting the news, Huo Hai did not rest and ran towards the headquarters. Headquarters, which was originally the Lord's House. Huo Hai had been here more than once, and a few minutes later, when Huo Hai came to the door of the headquarters, he was greeted by someone.
"Young Master Huo, you are finally here, the lord and the general are waiting inside. I'll take you in. ”
Huo Hai nodded, and followed inside, recuperating his spiritual power as he walked. Just after a while, Huo Hai was tired enough. When he entered the hall, Huo Hai sighed in his heart.
The last time I saw the general Lianfeng, as well as the three princes Yunfei, including a large number of high-ranking military officials, were all in this place at this time. The difference is that from their bodies, you can see the atmosphere of tension and decadence.
Now that so many people are staying together regardless of their previous suspicions, the expressions on their faces are the same, which can only prove that things have reached a real crisis for survival. If not, how could these people be this kind of manifestation. Look at Yunfei again, hidden in the corner at this time, no longer high-spirited, but exhausted.
Looking around, the number of high-level people here seems to be nearly half less when they set out on the expedition. This proves that nearly half of the children of the big family or the top of the army have stayed on the front line of the Southern Forest Country forever at this time.
How could it be so tragic, no matter how powerful the Nanlin Kingdom was, it wouldn't become like this. Huo Hai didn't believe that General Lianfeng, who was famous in Nanyun Country, would be forced to this extent by some demon spirit masters.
Demon spirit masters are dangerous, but that is because of the corrosive nature of demon qi, in terms of army mobilization and marching to fight, these demon spirit masters are not Lianfeng's opponents. At this time, others also noticed Huo Hai's arrival. Huo Feng raised his head and beckoned Huo Hai with a serious face. "Xiaohai, hurry up, our current situation is very bad. ”
Huo Hai frowned and stepped forward. These people were now surrounding a huge map, not the sand table that Huo Hai had imagined. Forget it, the situation is urgent, let's talk about it when we have the opportunity. Huo Hai couldn't understand this map.
"What the hell is going on, I received news that something big had happened at the front, and that's why I came back. Huo Hai didn't know anything about what was going on here. Anyway, let's figure out the situation here.
Huo Feng snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's not these wastes yet." When he said this, Huo Feng glanced vaguely at the three princes in the corner. Yun Fei also seemed to feel this look, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and said nothing. This time, I don't know what kind of punishment the Dao royal family will give him, Yun Fei's power is now in decline.
Huo Feng quickly told Huo Hai about the frontline. Huo Hai nodded as he listened, he didn't know what would happen to him in that situation, but now, what happened to Yun Fei and the others had told him how miserable they were.
Eager for quick success, Huo Hai can only think of this sentence now. However, all the demon spirit masters of Nanlin Country are dispatched, and it may not all be bad. As long as this wave of attacks can be resisted, the Southern Forest Kingdom is afraid that it will not be far from a complete collapse.
After thinking about it, Huo Hai suddenly said: "Can you find me a few people who know more about the terrain of the map, I'll make a sand table, this thing looks too troublesome." Anyway, Huo Hai still thinks that the sand table is more convenient. Anyway, the strong on the Heavenly Spirit Continent are respected, and war is nothing to a real master, and it will be spread out when the sand table is circulated.
Huo Feng was stunned, he had never heard of what a sand table was. Forget it, it might be of any use, Huo Feng didn't plan to get a good solution from Huo Hai in the first place. If it weren't for the theory put forward by Huo Hai before, Huo Feng would not have let him come over.
casually pulled the two people next to him over: "You two follow Captain Huo out of the city, and you will do whatever he tells you." Huo Feng pulled the two people down in front of Huo Hai, and then left it alone.
