Chapter 097: Back to the capital
After Ling Chen and his party flew for two hours, they caught up with the army that had retreated to Yiyang City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, it was getting late, and Ling Chen and his party were also very tired, so they fell to the ground one after another, and it was already late at this time.
"Fluttershy, go find out the whereabouts of the Lower Sword Sect and the Pure Yang Empire's army. Remember, just know what they're doing, and you don't have to look into the real and the false. Ling Chen panted to Fluttershy.
"It's big brother!" Ling Xiaodie took the order and hid in the night.
Ling Bai watched Ling Xiaodie's figure disappear and said to Ling Chen, "Big brother, those gray-clothed people of the Soul Clan definitely didn't chase after us, otherwise we wouldn't have returned all the way here so smoothly." ”
Ling Chen gasped and nodded, "I know this, but I have to know their specific location, otherwise we don't know what to do next." The herald ordered the army to quickly withdraw to Yiyang City, and the brothers did not fly anymore and walked back with the army. ”
"Command!" said in unison.
Ling Chen nodded, and then took the lead in withdrawing with the army towards Yiyang City. Even Emperor Mo Wushuang followed everyone to obey Ling Chen's command.
All the high-ranking members of the Wulie Dynasty knew what Ling Chen, the lowest fourth-grade refiner, meant to the dynasty, so no one doubted the purpose of Ling Chen's order, not to mention that Ling Chen also had a powerful formation mage brother.
After the army withdrew to Yiyang City, Ling Bai immediately strengthened the defensive shield of Yiyang City. At the same time, Fan Chongyang began to reorganize his army, and then sent troops to garrison the city walls in batches.
Almost as soon as the garrison in Yiyang City was completed, Ling Xiaodie returned.
"Big brother, I have already found out clearly, the army of the Pure Yang Empire has withdrawn to the west, and the gray-clothed men of the Soul Clan have disappeared. Ling Xiaodie whispered.
Ling Chen's brow furrowed slightly when he heard this, "The Soul Clan is gone! How is this possible?" Okay, Fluttershy, you're tired too, go down and rest." ”
"Okay big brother, then I'll go down first. Ling Xiaodie clasped her fist at Ling Chen, then turned to leave.
After Ling Xiaodie left, Ling Chen hugged his fist at Emperor Mo Wushuang and said, "Father, can you contact the Black Mountain Fortress to see if the Black Mountain Fortress is okay." ”
"Okay, General, you quickly contact the Black Mountain Fortress and see what the situation is going on there. Mo Wushuang nodded to Ling Chen, and then ordered Fan Chongyang.
"The minister takes the order!" Fan Chongyang clenched his fists and quickly left. Everyone frowned and thought about it after Fan Chongyang left.
Soon, Fan Chongyang returned, he quickly ran in front of everyone, and then hugged his fists at the emperors Mo Wushuang and Ling Chen, who were sitting on the top seats, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Black Mountain Fortress, saying that there is no war over there, and the fortress is still under our control. ”
"How is this possible?" Ling Chen said when he heard this, and he stood up directly and frowned.
Mo Wushuang also frowned and said, "General, are you sure that the information you received is correct?"
Hearing this, Fan Chongyang solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it's absolutely right, the old minister has confirmed three times with that side, and changed three different code words, and there is no problem." ”
Ling Chen nodded when he heard this, and then let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that those people of the Soul Clan have not passed through the Black Mountain Fortress at all, but if they did not pass through the Black Mountain Fortress, how did they come to Beiyang City?
Hearing this, Mo Wushuang waved his hand directly and said: "Not at all!" Except for the strong people above the Battle King Realm who can fly through the Abyss of Heavenly Retribution in the air, the martial artists below the Battle King Realm can only come here from the inland through the Black Mountain Fortress. ”
Ling Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Could it be that the more than 2,000 Battle Spirit Realm soldiers of the Soul Clan were all carried by those Battle King Realm powerhouses one by one? This is also incredible!"
Fan Chongyang frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Master Ling: It is impossible for the Sword Sect to have so many Battle Spirit Realm powerhouses! Those armies of the Sword Sect are not much different from our army, they are mainly composed of Great War Division Realm martial artists. And only a superpower like the Pure Yang Empire could afford to form a legion composed of the powerhouses of the Battle Spirit Realm.
The powerhouses of the Battle Spirit Realm are mostly general-level existences in our army. No matter how much the Sword Sect tried to attract talents, it could not attract more than two thousand Battle Spirit Realm powerhouses. The dynasty did not have much talent support. ”
Mo Wushuang also nodded after Fan Chongyang finished speaking: "Don Ma, what the general said is right!"
Ling Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he had a lot of things he didn't understand, he nodded slightly after Mo Wushuang finished speaking: "Your Majesty, it seems that there are still some unknown places in the Soul Clan." But there was one thing I couldn't wait any longer.
Since there is nothing to do in the Black Mountain Fortress, and the army of the Pure Yang Empire has also retreated, then we should return to the capital as soon as possible, and I want to organize people to rescue my mother as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, everything is up to the horse's orders! All the manpower of the dynasty unconditionally supports the horse to save his mother. General Fan quickly mobilized the army to retreat, and then fully supported the horse to save his mother. Mo Wushuang got up and said.
"Your Majesty's support!" Thank you, Your Majesty's support!" Fan Chongyang bowed. Then he quickly turned and walked away.
After Fan Chongyang left, Mo Hongchen got up and said, "Master Ling, why don't we ride my flying crane back to the capital together, and the other brothers can walk slowly behind!" The old man promised to send Master Ling back to the capital before noon. ”
"What?" Ling Chen said as he looked at Mo Hongchen in surprise when he heard this.
Seeing this, Mo Hongchen hurriedly explained: "Master Ling, I definitely didn't fool you, when I rescued Beiyang City a few days ago, Mo Hongzhan and I came so quickly. ”
Hearing this, Ling Chen directly raised his right hand to stop Mo Hongchen's explanation, his thoughts were very confused at this time, because he suddenly thought of the conversation he had with his master from Mo Hongchen's words.
At that time, the old man said that the reason why the refiner was so respected was not because he could refine equipment, but because he could refine various war weapons. At that time, Ling Chen was thinking of high-end weapons such as planes, tanks, and cannons in his previous life. And Mo Hongchen's words made him think of a possibility, that is, the gray-clothed man of the Sword Sect did not fly, but came by some kind of transportation. Only in this way will it suddenly disappear without a trace, and Ling Xiaodie will not be discovered.
After Ling Chen thought of this possibility, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly: If this is the case, how can the army of the dynasty wipe out the soul clan on the Sword Sect.
"Master Ling, I don't know what you were thinking about just now?" Mo Hongchen asked softly after Ling Chen's brows expanded.
Ling Chen shook his head when he heard this: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something impossible." Okay, then there will be Lao seniors and juniors to return to the capital together. ”
"No problem, we can go at any time!" Mo Hongchen smiled.
Hearing this, Ling Hei hugged his fist at Ling Chen and said, "Big brother, don't worry, the five of us brothers can rush back to the capital before dark at the latest." ”
"Okay, then it's hard work for everyone! When my mother is rescued, I will treat you brothers to a good meal. Ling Chenzheng said.
"Thank you, big brother!" said the five Ling Hei with their fists in unison.
After Ling Chen finished speaking, he walked out with Mo Hongchen, and Xing'er looked at Ling Chen's back thoughtfully.
