Chapter 356: He Can't Run Far
There was a great chaos in the vicinity of Central City for dozens of miles, and Ulysses Monroe, the commander-in-chief of the Western Kingdom, was still unaware of what was happening behind the position.
He handed over all the authority to mobilize the army to the command, and he had to stop Cheng Wen.
Ulysses had anticipated the pursuit of the Dragon Front, so with careful planning, the retreat proceeded in an orderly manner with few casualties.
When another round of impact was over, he found that Cheng Wen seemed to have the intention of giving up.
"Tell Hopkins and Landry to speed back to Central City, the other teams stop, we can't retreat."
As soon as he gave the order, someone came running.
"Sir, Torre is dead."
He's talking about the Blood Shaver.
Ulysses's whole person's momentum changed, and he asked almost word for word: "You, what did you say?" ”
The man was a little frightened, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The central city has been attacked by the evil spirits in the fog, and Torre has fled. Single-handedly luring the bastard away and running to the position of the Hopkins and Landry troops. ”
Ulysses calmed down and continued to ask, "You don't have to hide it for him, he fled back, and then what?" Why is he dead again, is this idiot going back again? ”
The shaver was his favorite subordinate before, so he let the man act as the commander before he took someone out, but now, when he knew that Central City was lost, he just wanted to press the guy to the ground and beat him hard.
The messenger said, "No, the evil spirits in the fog rushed into the position and killed him. ”
“.”
Ulysses was silent for a full three seconds, then asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"He, he rushed in front of everybody, killed Chief Torre, and then, then."
"And then what ?!!"
Ulysses grabbed the other man by the collar and said viciously, "Don't tell me he's not dead!" ”
"He, he ran away."
Ulysses, who had managed to persuade himself to accept the change, collapsed again, this time for a full minute.
He paced back and forth, finally suppressing his anger, and then asked, "I don't want to discuss what that misty demon is going on right now, but tell me, why did he make it to Central City?" ”
"He's got helpers."
The messenger replied, "Many of the dead, I have heard that even the sun disappears where they set foot. ”
Ulysses frowned.
He had already surmised that the Evil Spirits in the Mist had entered the Cold Wind State when they had first retreated from the grain and water, and had not been discovered.
In that case, it would be impossible for him to go in with "many" of the undead.
In other words, the opponent went deep into the territory of the Western Kingdom alone, and then pulled up a strong army in it.
To be honest, he was a little jealous of Cheng Wen, if he had such a person under his command, why did he have to personally lead the army to pull the other party.
"Now, where is he?"
"It looks like we're back in Central City."
Ulysses' eyes were full of murder: "When he retreats, it means that he knows that a person will die if he stays, and he only used some special method to get out of the way." ”
"Ask Hopkins to come to me, he must be allowed to die here, otherwise the secret realm battlefield will end, and it won't be long before we will face the second Zhuo Feilong in reality."
The position where the two armies were stationed was probably the border line occupied by the Western Kingdom before its large-scale march, and it was precisely because of this that Cheng Wen did not continue to pursue.
If you chase it further southwest, you will have to get closer to Central City, and although there is no information about it, normally speaking, you will not rush to that position without causing huge casualties to the other side.
He returned to the ranks and saw many auxiliary classes and demon witch doctors treating the wounded.
After a day and a night of fighting, all the shemales were very tired, and it seemed that this time the battle was basically over, and the result was a vain fight, and the sphere of influence occupied by both sides did not change.
But Cheng Wen's mood is a little heavy, and so far, he has not received any news from Li Rui.
"Forget it."
Kong Ji persuaded, "It's all at this time, there is no information about Li Rui found anywhere, and we can't continue to take chances." ”
Cheng Wen nodded silently.
"It's a pity, Chen Cheng's ability can't be used."
If it weren't for the prophet's precise snooping ability being sealed, at least Li Rui's life and death could be determined, unlike the current one.
The location of Central City, surrounded by the pursuers of the Western Kingdom, and the presence of strong men in almost every direction, could put the large army in a dangerous situation if it was forcibly besieged.
Even Cheng Wen didn't dare to lead the army in, and Li Rui's situation at this time was even worse.
He had seen the main force of the Western Kingdom head-on, and knew that going north was a dead end, and that the vast number of enemies was not comparable to the hundreds of troops he had encountered before.
When he returned to Central City, it was still chaos.
Those local demon clans who had originally succumbed to the destruction of the city began to resist.
Li Rui didn't try to co-opt these demon clans, because after he informed Kuye of the surrounding situation, this ghost general made it clear that it was impossible to defend the city.
These walls can't stop the demon cultivators and the Terran transcendents, and they must be left.
"How about going back the way you came?"
"That's slow death."
"Can't you go north and fight hard?"
"If, according to Engong, the main force of the enemy army is still there, it is naturally impossible."
"Then the only way to go south is to go south."
The east side is the downstream of grain and water, and the whole section is called Bailidu, which is not really a hundred miles wide, but it can't be passed at all, and if you want to return to Wangzezhou, you can only go south.
Although Li Rui didn't know that the Polar Alliance had begun to move north, he could guess that they would definitely not be inactive at this time.
If there is also a fierce battle over there, it may be a good idea to lead the cavalry to rush out.
He ran into the arsenal of the Western Kingdom headquarters first, hurriedly threw a few boxes of loot to Julius, and before he even had time to see what was inside, he hurriedly led his team out of the city from the south.
Behind was the main force of the Western Kingdom chasing, and he didn't dare to stay longer.
Fortunately, Julius has obtained a lot of natural treasures along the way, not to mention anything else, what is made up is the dragon spirit and tiger fierceness, and he can still keep up with this journey.
So, when Hopkins returned to Central City with a small but elite team, he was greeted only by chaos, and the target he was chasing had already gone south.
Landry said hatefully, "He stole our inventory. ”
"Greed will cost him."
"Since the time has been delayed, he must not have run far, and if he continues to chase, he will not be able to escape." ”
