Chapter 60: The Battle of Immortals and Demons (12)
What is never lacking in war is accidents, and accidents have directly caused the irreversibility and variability of the entire war.
The expeditionary force is getting farther and farther away from the Zhongzhou mainland, once it took them fourteen years to get here, it can be said that they have gone through a lot of hardships, countless casualties, and paid a great price, but now their evacuation is just an order, a matter of one or two days, which is really a very unpleasant thing for the entire expeditionary force. However, there was no way, in order not to let the entire expeditionary force fall into the attack of the immortals and demons, they had to retreat. Of course, for the retreat, most of the soldiers in the entire expeditionary force did not have much resistance, a big reason is that their goal of reaching Zhongzhou has been achieved, they are here for the sword, and now they have obtained countless kinds of swordfighting, not only that, but they have also obtained a lot of various immortal spells, The formation, and other immortal books, these have already exceeded the pre-determined goal for them, that is to say, they are gone now, there is really no regret at all, and they have completed the task ahead of schedule. If there is anyone in the expeditionary force who still has regrets about the withdrawal of the expeditionary force, it is none other than the ancestor-level figures of these expeditionary forces that Huatian Continent has been trying to restore Mingzong.
"What's the reaction from outside now?" Tang Mingye sat cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by people from Mingzong, Li Muxue, Yun Pingtai, Li Feiyang, and a few old men of Mingzong, of course, it was Yun Wen who was sitting on the main seat, and this Mingzong's earth immortal also participated in such a small meeting, but he was just watching more.
"Most of the people are very happy, this evacuation is more appropriate for them than a defeated retreat!" Yun Pingtai sighed.
"Why do you say that?" asked Li Muxue with some strange feelings, except when he was fighting. Otherwise, they will stay in the cabin, and there is some meaning of becoming an immortal, after all, for him, the recovery of Mingzong is no longer a problem, with Yun Pingtai there, where does Kong Ming dare not restore Mingzong?
"You're really an immortal! You don't even know at all?" Tang Mingye sighed.
Yun Pingtai looked at Li Muxue's appearance, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he said directly: "The purpose of Kong Ming leading the expeditionary force to Zhongzhou was originally for the purpose of swordsmanship, and now they have defeated the entire Demon Domain, those immortal swordsmanship that has not been of much use to the Demon Domain, but has been piled up in the entire warehouse of the Zhongzhou Continent for countless years, have all fallen into the hands of the Expeditionary Force, so to speak, when they have defeated the Demon Domain." Their goal had already been achieved, and leaving the Zhongzhou Continent had become the most urgent thing in the hearts of all of them. ”
"Are they willing to return to the Huatian Continent in such a defeat? What about their military honors? What about their hearts to move forward? What about their confession to the entire Zhongzhou Continent?" Li Muxue exclaimed, more than two thousand years of dreams, dreaming of returning to Zhongzhou, now there is no problem to return to Zhongzhou, after all, there is the strength of the expeditionary force here, once the battle of immortals and demons is over, their return is already an ironclad thing. However, now leave in such a way. Although it was much better than when they left more than 2,000 years ago, he didn't want to repeat the same thing twice, he needed to go back in the open.
"Senior brother, for the people from the Huatian Continent, when they get the sword mastery, they have already completed the task with honor. And the establishment of Mingzong in the Demon Domain is an additional task after completing the task, and it doesn't matter if it is completed or not. What's more, now that due to the intervention of the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, things have been out of their control, so they don't think much about getting involved in this matter. Yun Pingtai sighed. This is human nature, as the saying goes. Helping is a favor, not helping is a reason, so he only has more helplessness about Kong Ming's decision now. Even if he is the elder of Kong Ming.
"Can you tell Kong Ming about it? Let him go back to the Zhongzhou Continent directly?" Li Muxue obviously still didn't see the real situation, so he still had some illusions.
"The order is given by Kongming!" Tang Mingye looked at Li Muxue and sighed.
"So we have reason to think that Kong Ming has given up on establishing Mingzong in Zhongzhou, and in order to explain to us, he even took advantage of the opportunity of the Immortal Demon War to spread to the west and retreated, or the Immortal Demon attacked the expeditionary force, which is just one of the strongest reasons for them to retreat, after all, they have already got what they want, and there is nothing else to let them stay in Zhongzhou. Yun Pingtai sighed.
"Lao Yun, that's your junior, is there some speculation like this? Not to mention that Kong Ming has also worked hard, but the situation is tricky, who knows that the people behind the Demon Domain and those sects will directly attack in Zhongzhou. Li Muxue said with some puzzlement, but before his words had completely fallen, he saw that everyone's eyes looking at him were similar to looking at idiots, and at this time he asked with some weakness: "What's wrong?
"You're not wrong, Kongming has worked hard, and he has also fought the Demon Domain, we have not denied his merits, and there is no way to deny this. However, after the monsters came out of the small world, they all changed, and they became different, and when the expeditionary force still occupied the exit of the small world, he could completely hold the exit and completely seal those monsters inside, but he didn't do so. Tang Mingye sighed.
"Isn't it that the monster's attack is too fierce and there is no way to defend it?" Li Muxue asked strangely, this is the consensus of the entire expeditionary force, after all, they have been fighting in it for a long time, it's not that they don't do their best, it's just that there are too many monsters, too powerful. Hearing this, Yun Pingtai shook his head and said: "There is only one exit from the small world, at least we know only one, we can't keep it inside, but we can keep it outside, after all, outside the exit of the small world, it is Zhongzhou, and the exit is not very big, as long as it is properly arranged, it can be defended." However, Kong Ming did not do this, and we once asked him why he didn't keep it, or just seal it away, so that it was okay, but he didn't. ”
"How did he answer?" Li Muxue was a little curious. Of course, with everyone's wisdom, we know that once the exit is completely guarded, then it is really a one-man pass, and ten thousand people will not be opened, but as the commander of the entire expeditionary force, a victorious general, and a military god did not do this. Why exactly?
He didn't answer. Tang Mingye said beside him, the others were very curious when they heard this at this time, this is a secret, it is rare to hear it.
"Didn't answer?" Li Muxue thought he had misheard, and asked again.
"There is no answer at all!" Tang Mingye repeated.
When they heard this, everyone was darkened. There can be two meanings without answering, one is to admit it, and the other is to refuse to answer. No matter which one of them is, it directly shows that Kong Ming wants to let the expeditionary force get out of the chaos in the Zhongzhou Continent.
"I'll ask. "Li Muxue is a man of action. There are some things that are useless to think too much, so it is better to ask one directly to understand. None of the others stopped it, and watched Li Muxue go out.
"You're not going to stop him from going?" Tang Mingye asked at Yun Pingtai.
Yun Pingtai shook his head, and the others didn't speak.
The headquarters of the expeditionary force, at this time, the expeditionary force reached a distance of more than 20,000 kilometers from Zhongzhou.
"What's the reaction in Zhongzhou in the past two days?" Kong Ming asked, although they were already very far away from Zhongzhou, but their attention to there had not diminished at all. Every moment, there are countless messages coming from there.
"The reconnaissance from the front has reported. The combined team of more than 10,000 immortals and demons, after leaving the area where we were fighting, quickly flew towards the battlefield in the north of them, and joined the battle there, where it is said that the immortals and demons there also merged and carried out an unprecedented attack on that unknown force. The entire northern part of Zhongzhou was almost in ruins, and the continent became an ocean. And the loss of immortals and demons is also very large. Sima Wei reported that now it could only be a verbal report, because there was not a single reconnaissance officer of the expeditionary force there, and the immortals and demons were also very jealous of the actions there. The secrecy is very well done.
"Is the source of the information reliable?" asked Kumei.
"It's all hearsay, there is no evidence to prove it, after all, there is no one where we are!" Sima Wei sighed, as a person in the intelligence department, there is no way to confirm the reliability of the intelligence, which is an extremely dereliction of duty, but at present, it can only be like this, after all, the conditions are there.
"It looks like the immortals and demons are going to clear the field!" Kong Ming sighed. For a thing that can be used by the Golden Immortals, for a thing that can be used by the Demon King, the two have been here for I don't know how many years, and now they can finally harvest, and no one wants to share this thing with others, so there is only one way to clear the field first. At this time, Li Muxue happened to enter the headquarters, and he was a frequent visitor to the headquarters, so the guards did not stop him.
"They won't clear the field here, right? By the way, Kong Ming, I couldn't figure out why we couldn't get stuck at the exit of the small world of the Demon Domain, that kind of terrain is an excellent terrain that can't be opened. If we are stuck somewhere, won't there be anything to do with those monsters now?Wait until we find and get the things that the immortals have been sent down to find, and then open it?" asked Sima Wei strangely. The others also looked over, they didn't understand why Kong Ming didn't do that, but let go of the exit of the small world, at this time Li Muxue was also about to ask the same thing, but now someone actually asked, he simply stopped and looked at what Kong Ming said.
"Do you think I don't want to? Really, if we are stuck now, then it will not be a one-man pass, but a two-sided attack by immortals and demons. "Kong Ming Dao.
"But since ancient times, immortals and demons have been mortal enemies, at least at that time, we thought so. Zhang Yiming also spoke.
"Alas, brother, take a look at the situation in Zhongzhou, and you will know that the immortals and demons in the Zhongzhou Continent are almost a family, you used to beat other people's families, don't you allow people to help?"
"There's a little bit of truth to that, so what are we going to do next?" said Sima Wei.
Kong Ming thought for a moment, and then said: "Next, let's take a look at what kind of outcome the matter in Zhongzhou is, and be ready to fight at any time before that." (To be continued.) )
