Chapter 4: The Difficult Retreat (2)
Chase Lang asked, "I'm afraid this bead is a thing from the human world, right?"
"Hmm! It was a magic weapon refined by a Taoist priest in the human realm, and it was later sucked into the body of the spear by the treasure spear."
Zhulang said with relief: "The demon soldiers come from a different island outside the sky, they are not comparable to the little demons in the human world, the demon weapons in their hands are also treasures, and it is reasonable that the magic weapons of the human world cannot resist each other."
"I know, it's just that this bead has been with me for so long, and it's a little regrettable."
Ran Ran smiled and said, "The heavenly realm is vast, and there are many treasures, just wait for someone who is destined, maybe there is a better bead waiting for you."
Yeluyun is also a free and easy person, seeing the two of them say this, the gray in his heart immediately erased, got up and asked, "Everything is arranged?"
"Hmm! Although the demon soldiers retreated, their numbers were huge, and they would definitely come back, Taohe City was too badly damaged, if the demon soldiers came again, they would definitely be defeated, so they could only leave immediately, gather more heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to fight to the death with the demon army." Thinking of the people who died in battle, Ran Ran's eyes almost erupted with fire.
Yeluyun frowned and said, "I don't think the demon army will attack only one direction, I'm afraid that many cities will also be attacked."
Ran Ran and Zhulang glanced at each other with a wry smile, and there was helplessness on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
Chase Lang let out a long sigh and said uneasily: "According to the captured little demon, the advance assault corps of the demon army has a total of five, and we have only defeated the vanguard of one of them, and there are huge ground forces behind, numbering no less than 100,000 people, and the situation of the other four roads is probably the same."
"Five-way!" Although Yeluyun had long expected that the enemy army would not have only one way, he did not expect that there would be so many, and he couldn't help but think of the scene of Yunyang City's dead domain, and he didn't know how many cities would be slaughtered by demon soldiers like Yunyang.
"I can only hope that they can block the attack." Ran Ran shook his head, if it weren't for Yeluyun and Zhulang rushing desperately, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I don't know which direction Guan Mingtian took them?"
"I'm afraid that they won't be able to go far at their speed, and if they hadn't been killed in Yunyang, they would probably still be on their way to Taohe City, and the current situation is not optimistic." Chalang smiled bitterly and looked in the direction of the Nightless City, and his heart hurt like fire.
Yeluyun frowned, and suddenly said, "I'll go back and take a look, the demon army is not familiar with the terrain of the Heavenly Realm, and the advance and push speed of the ground troops is estimated to be not too fast."
"You want to go back?" both Zhulang and Ran Ran were stunned.
"I have the help of wind beasts, I can come and go freely, and if I can find them, maybe I can make a difference."
Ran Ran was moved by his pride and courage, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go with you, Lord Zhulang, you and the soldiers and civilians of Taohe City retreat north together, and try to meet the retreating soldiers and civilians of each city, you should be able to form an effective force."
Chase Wave pondered for a moment and nodded.
Yeluyun rejected Ran Ran's proposal, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Star General is very strong, staying can stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, in case the flying troops of the demon army are killed again, there is also enough strength to resist, and I am more flexible alone."
Ran Ran and Zhulang saw that what he said was reasonable, and their attitudes were so firm, they nodded silently after looking at each other.
Yeluyun smiled slightly, hugged his fists at the two, and flew south with the second daughter.
As they know, the demon army that poured in from the demon array continued to gather, and the flying demon soldiers were formed into a five-way raid legion, divided into five directions, except for the defeat of the nightless Yunyang Taohe road, the other four-way legions were all victorious, the most attacked seven cities, and the few also had five cities, because when the news of the defeat of Taohe reached the temporary headquarters in the nightless city, it immediately caused a huge shock, and the ground troops were immediately dispatched, and the demon soldiers like ants spread all over the mountains and fields in all directions, A huge territory has been built around the Gate of Heaven and the Nightless City.
Although Yeluyun took the initiative to ask for help, he was not completely sure, but he was fearless in his heart, and he had no scruples about doing things, and flew south along the route he came, and soon returned to the vicinity of Yunyang City that was slaughtered, and the demon smell of the sky warned him that Yunyang City had been occupied by demon soldiers.
"Brother Yun, the defeated soldiers of the demon army should stay in front, should we bypass them?"
Yeluyun stared at the small city located on the plain, and couldn't help but think of the sparkling white bones inside and outside the city, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "With their speed, they should be near Yunyang City at this moment, if they are not found by the demon soldiers on the road, there is still a chance to rescue."
"Let's go, let's look around."
The sky was dim, and Yeluyun took this opportunity to fly high into the sky, condescendingly looking at the mountains and forests on the ground, and clearly saw the black oppression in Yunyang City, like a piece of black iron embedded in the earth, which seemed incompatible with the surrounding green and quiet fields and forests.
After searching for a while, they did not find the figure of Guan Ming and the others, but found that a large number of demon troops were swimming towards Yunyang City in the south, as if a black giant snake was winding on the earth, leaving a pungent demon stench everywhere it went.
"There are so many demon soldiers, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands, right?" Ji Huanting was shocked to see.
Yeluyun's expression became more and more solemn, and he sighed in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the news of the defeat and retreat of the demon army's forward troops has spread back, and the demon army headquarters has launched a large army to reinforce it, this army plus the troops in Yunyang City, I am afraid that there are only 200,000 people, and there are only 10,000 soldiers and civilians left in Taohe City, and they can't resist it at all."
"Brother Yun, should we continue to search or go back to deliver the letter?"
"A man must find, and a letter must be delivered."
"Is it just for our sisters to go?" Yu Wenhui looked at Ji Huanting.
Ji Huanting smiled and said, "My sister can manipulate the fairy jade, stay and help Brother Yun fight, I'll go back and inform them to be careful."
Ye Luyun naturally didn't worry about Ji Huanting going on the road alone, with her current strength was only similar to that of ordinary heavenly soldiers, if she met a master, the situation would be extremely dangerous, but at the moment there was no one to send, and she couldn't make a decision after hesitating for a long time.
Ji Huanting knew that he felt sorry for herself, so she smiled even brighter, and persuaded softly, "Don't worry! The demon army is all in Yunyang, there won't be any problems on the way back, and the Chase Wave Heavenly Official Shou and Ran Ran Xing General have seen me, and they won't embarrass me."
"Alright! Just trouble Wanting, stay there after the news is delivered, don't come back to me, lest it be dangerous, and Hui'er and I will go back as soon as we find someone."
"Hmm! I see." Ji Huanting wrapped her arms around Yeluyun's body and circled around a few times before reluctantly drifting to the north.
Yeluyun stared at the soul in the distance, and his heart was so high that he couldn't let it go anymore.
"Brother Yun, let's hurry up too! It's better to go back early and meet Sister Huanting."
"Hmm! Let's go!" Yeluyun patted the wind beast on the back, and drove the wind beast around the range of Yunyang City and plunged into the surrounding barren mountains and fields.
There was no disturbance in the air, and he led a thousand heavenly soldiers to escort the residents of Taohe City to the north, fortunately, they all knew how to make food, and there was almost no stop along the way, even if they passed through the two cities of "Shuo'an" and "Xinzi", they only took a little rest, and immediately set off after telling the news to the local Tianguan Shou and the heavenly generals, and the soldiers and civilians of these two cities did not dare to stay when they got the news, and they joined the ranks of the great retreat, and soon gathered 10,000 heavenly soldiers and hundreds of thousands of heavenly residents, and their goal was Cangyue City, the center of the Tianmen region.
Ji Huanting drifted sharply all the way, and it was not until she floated to the Maple Leaf Gorge twenty miles north of Xinzi that she caught up with the retreating team.
After Ran Ran had been leading a team of heavenly soldiers in the air, he soon spotted Ji Huanting's figure, and immediately greeted him, asking, "Is there any news from Brother Yelu?"
"The demon army is reinforced by tens of thousands of troops, and when I come, the troops arrived in Yunyang, Brother Yun asked me to come back and inform you, the enemy forces, you must be careful."
Ran Ran nodded with relief, fortunately with Ye Luyun's help, otherwise I don't know how many people would die in this catastrophe.
"Girl, you've worked hard, do you want to go back and join Brother Yelu or stay and retreat together?"
Ji Huanting smiled and said, "Brother Yun told me to wait while retreating."
"Hmm!" Ran Ran pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "You go to find Zhulang and retreat north with the large army, and I will take Zhunan to meet Brother Yelu."
Ji Huanting smiled, floated to the front of the large army, and found the wave that led the people in front of the command.
Zhulang was surprised to see her come alone, thinking that something big had happened, so he hurriedly turned back to greet her, and only after asking did he know the reason, while sighing at the power of the demon soldiers, while admiring Yeluyun's courage and benevolence.
The fleeing celestials didn't care about the soul of a beautiful woman around them at all, and at most they only glanced at it a few times, and the demon army behind them was like a giant hammer hanging overhead, which would fall and smash them to pieces at any time.
If the Great Heavenly Realm, the place that countless human beings yearn for, no one would have thought that there would be such an embarrassing scene, thousands of refugees were escorted by a small number of heavenly soldiers to move to a safe place in panic, almost none of their faces had a smile, and some were just frowning and panicking. It's not that Ji Huanting hasn't seen the escape, but it feels very strange to associate the scene in front of her with the heavenly realm, and the good impression of the heavenly realm has disappeared.
The large army slowly passed through the Maple Leaf Gorge like a long snake and entered the vast Cangyue Plain in the north, and a group of people suddenly flew in the sky in the north, black and oppressive like dense clouds, conspicuous in the starry sky.
"That's ......" Ji Huanting thought it was a demon soldier who suddenly killed her, and her expression suddenly became nervous.
Cha Lang's heart also raised his throat, but after looking at it carefully for a while, the uneasiness on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a knowing smile, and said excitedly: "Great, Zhennan Tian Shuaihe, one of the four heavenly handsomes of Nanfu, has arrived, and he also brought the Flying Tiger Heavenly Soldier, so don't worry about it now."
Ji Huanting looked at the sky curiously, and sure enough, she saw that the sky was full of winged tigers, all of them were extremely handsome, and on the back of the tiger sat a heavenly soldier with a white armor, holding a tiger's head and a heavenly blade in his hand, majestic, indeed different from the wind.
"Zhennan Tianshuai, is it your boss?"
"In addition to the Heavenly Court, Ming Yuantian has four heavenly phases, each in charge of one side, each of which has four heavenly marshals under him, a nine-star general, and is also the supervisor, palm seal, commander, and governor of all the palaces and courts, this Zhennan Tianshuai is one of the four heavenly marshals under Nantian Xiang, and there is a flying tiger soldier under him, and his combat power is very strong, with them escorting the team, even if the demon soldiers come, they are not afraid."
"I see!"
Ji Huanting fixed her eyes on the flying tiger male soldier who was gradually flying low, and her eyes fell on a white-robed and silver-armored general at the forefront, stepping down is a kind of purple-veined flying tiger, holding a tiger-headed three-pointed knife vertically on his back, and the blade of the knife will have a thousand rays of light in a flash, and there are three red, blue and white orbs at the upper end of the three knife tips, which can spew out the power of fire and water mist.
The news of Zhennan Tianshuai's rush to help caused a huge repercussion in the entire fleeing team, and the tense faces suddenly relaxed, and their faces gradually became happy.
The handsome spirit of the sky is really different, and the atmosphere of the entire escape team has changed before it has even made a move.
Ji Huanting was happy, but she didn't expect that one of her disasters would start from this.
