Going back a little in time, during the time when Fu Ping and his party rushed to Lushen Island, all places were in a state of calm before the war. Whether it was the demons who came from afar, waiting for the opportunity, or the spirit clan who didn't know whether they were ready to go, or the people of the spirit clan who had ghosts in their hearts, there was no movement, as if nothing had happened from the beginning.

The peaceful days were finally broken one day, and the origin of everything began in the Spirit City. Xu Ting, the city lord of Lingxin City, had no intention of taking the initiative to fight with the demons, but at this time, Mo Yuan came here to lobby again, so Xu Ting made up his mind and found an excuse to delay the attack plan.

This calm lasted for some time, until this day. On this day, Xu Ting was patrolling the army, and Pei Yunzhuo followed left and right. Xu Yi, who was staying in the city, suddenly came to the barracks, looking a little flustered.

Xu Ting was about to ask, but Xu Yi spoke first, "Big brother, there are soldiers outside the city who have come to report, Ande is here, and it is estimated that he is about to enter the city now." Let's see if we're going to prepare and go ahead to meet us. ”

Soon after the demons appeared, Ander ordered the Wind Spirit Legion to go and exterminate them. Xu Ting had other plans in mind, so he put it off again and again. Ander is not a fool either, he gave an order once without any results, and again and again he gave orders without moving. He already knew in his heart that this Xu was very weird, and he was afraid that if he had other ideas, he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to him. After arranging the affairs of the heavenly spirit, Ande only took his men and horses with him, and secretly went to the spiritual heart, if he didn't come here, I am afraid that this Xu Ting would be more difficult to control in the future.

"Hmph, this Ander came suddenly, it must be for the purpose of going out to exterminate the demons, I pushed back the expedition three times and twice, I think he has understood my intentions. This time, I'm afraid that the person who came is not good!" Xu Ting looked in the direction of Lingxin City, but said to Pei Yunzhuo beside him: "Yunzhuo, you stay in the camp and wait, I'll go back and see what Na Ande has ordered." With that, he called Shang Xuyi, and the two of them walked towards the Spirit Heart City.

In the central city of the inner city, Xu Ting saw Ande, who was rushed by the heavenly spirit. Ander didn't bring many people with him this time, but they were all high-ranking officials and famous generals of the Spirit Clan. Coming with these elites, it can be seen that Ander has a trace of vigilance towards Xu Ting.

"Spirit Heart City Lord Xu Ting, see Spirit King. The subordinates were busy with work, and they didn't know that the Spirit King was coming today, so they couldn't lead their troops to greet them, and asked the Spirit King to forgive their sins. When Ander entered the main hall, Xu Ting was greeted by Xu Ting, and a series of respectful salutes were indispensable. Then he welcomed Ander into the main seat in the hall.

Ande didn't even look at Xu Ting, and walked straight forward, "Lord Xu is such a big shelf, An, it seems that I don't want to move you." Today, I specially invite my colleagues from the clan to come, hoping that this will invite the Lord of Xucheng. ”

Xu Ting's face was shocked, revealing incomprehension. I don't know what the Spirit King means by this, Xu Ting thinks that he is doing his best for his clan, so why do he say this. ”

"Lord Xucheng, don't let An Mou say it so clearly, I, the person who sits on the throne, have ordered the wind spirit to encircle and suppress foreign clans several times, but Lord Xu City has done his own thing, and he didn't put my An's order in his eyes at all, so it seems that my face is too small, please don't move you." ”

Xu Ting smiled slightly, and saluted again: "The Spirit King misunderstood, my Wind Spirit Legion carried out rectification some time ago, and there were many new recruits who joined the army, and their combat strength has already declined. I reported this matter to the Spirit King a few days ago, could it be that the Spirit King didn't believe in Xu, so he would visit in person. ”

An De snorted coldly, "The Heavenly Spirit Military Department has not received a rectification report from the Wind Spirit Legion within a year, if this is really the case, then it is inevitable to ask you for the crime of privately organizing the army, how can this be explained." ”

"The original intention of this troop adjustment was only a partial adjustment, and after reporting to the military headquarters, I received an order for self-adjustment. However, when the barracks were implemented, the prescribed adjustment quota was inadvertently exceeded, and the new forces of the troops were excessively large. However, since then, Xu has led the main force of the Wind Spirit to step up training, and it is expected that the overall combat power of the Wind Spirit will be restored in the near future. Due to the unexpected overcrowding of the troops, Xu did not report again, he just wanted to recover the strength of the wind spirit as soon as possible, and Xu admitted this crime. But if I maliciously disobey the royal decree, please forgive me for not being able to confess my guilt. Xu Ting knelt down on one knee and told the Spirit King the truth about the formation of the Wind Spirit Legion. And Xu Yi on the side also knelt on the ground, maybe only he knew what was going on.

There was a personnel adjustment in the Wind Spirit Legion three months ago, and the new recruits accounted for about four percent of the total, and this level of adjustment would not affect the total strength of the legion, and there was no need to report to the military headquarters of the Heavenly Spirit. And Xu Ting made a fuss about this, making everyone think that the new force of the wind spirit was too large, and the overall strength had declined, and it was impossible to complete the important task of going out to exterminate the foreign race.

Ander took a deep breath and pondered for a moment, "I will investigate this matter again, today I will temporarily stay in the city, and you will come to me tomorrow at this time." If it is really as you said, the crime of reorganizing the army can be suppressed for the time being, and the most important thing is to restore the strength of the Wind Spirit Legion and exterminate the foreign races as soon as possible. If what you say is not true, then I am afraid that you will sit at the end of this seat. After saying this, Ander stopped talking nonsense, waved his right hand, and walked out the door. The crowd that followed him also followed, leaving the main hall of the palace.

As soon as Ande left, Xu Ting immediately said to Xu Yi beside him: "You and I don't want to go out of the city today, you pass a letter to Yun Zhuo, let him prepare in the camp, and someone will visit the camp secretly." ”

Xu Yi understood what Xu Ting meant, and he kept Pei Yunzhuo in the camp for this reason. Xu Yi immediately retreated and left as Xu Ting ordered.

In a dormitory in the inner city, Ander and his entourage temporarily live here. He had ordered someone to secretly investigate the matter of the Wind Spirit Legion, and he was here to wait for the results. He was followed by officials from various ministries of the Central Heavenly Spirit, and everyone sat together to discuss their next steps.

"King Ling, three months ago, Xu Ting actually submitted an application to the military department for reorganization, but the number of troops is small, and he has been allowed to adjust it on his own. After that, the military department did not care about this matter. "The person who spoke was Yun Lan, the head of the military department, and after Shang Long went out, he temporarily acted as the agent for the affairs of the military department.

"Whether this matter is true or not, the matter of sending troops to suppress demons cannot be delayed any longer. Xiling's intelligence network has been established, and Wensheng has also sent back a lot of information. We can already guess the tricks of the demon clan, if we don't act as soon as possible, I'm afraid that people will come over. Ander sighed helplessly.

An old man beside Ander took over, "It's a pity that General Shang is no longer in the spirit realm, otherwise he would definitely be able to hit him hard while he is not firmly established." Now Xu Ting, the only one who can fight against them, is not very obedient, and it is not easy to change the status quo. "This person is a senior figure of the previous generation of the clan, and he has been in politics in the central government for many years, and Ande also respects him very much.

"Long Lao has good advice, at the moment we are extremely passive, and if we don't turn over, we will be beaten. Ander asked quickly.

The old man's name is Long Lan, and he is an important member of the Spirit Clan's Political Department, and he is also the father of Long Feng, the current leader of the Yanling Legion. Hearing Ender's inquiry, he thought about it for a while. "We are here today, if Xu Ting can't give an answer, he will take the opportunity to arrange for someone else to take over the wind spirit, take back the management of the legion, and then try to move west. If Xu Ting can lead the army westward as I wish, I can also send someone to exercise the responsibility of supervision with the army. ”

Ander nodded, and asked again: "Xu Ting has been in charge of the wind spirit for many years, and at this time, I am afraid that changing the commander will disturb the hearts of our army, which is even more unfavorable to the battle." ”

"We can arrange for others to work with Xu Ting first, and then reorganize the wind spirit after this catastrophe. Long Lan spoke her mind, and Ender felt that this method was a bit risky, but it would solve the fundamental problem. Xu Tingqi can be regarded as a general, relying on his own strength, he obtained the title of "Tianxing". It's just that after a long time, this person has become less and less in his eyes, and if he is allowed to stay in this position, it will always be a hidden danger.

On the second day, Ander summoned Xu Ting, and as soon as they met, they went straight to the point.

"Lord Xucheng, the matter of the reorganization of the Wind Spirit Legion will not be mentioned for the time being. Before you and I is the great event of a foreign invasion. I have ordered someone to check the current situation of the Wind Spirit Legion yesterday, and the Lord of Xu City is really outstanding, in the team of so many newcomers, he can train them so well so quickly, he is worthy of being a lion force of his own clan!" Ander's praise was naturally to make Xu Ting contribute more.

Xu Ting heard that although this was a good thing, he was afraid that he would have to pay some price for listening to it, so he hurriedly replied: "Where, the Wind Spirit Legion has been the backbone of my spirit clan since the day it was founded, and this kind of power is definitely not something I can create alone." On the contrary, his subordinates were stupid and failed to make the legion stronger. ”

Ander secretly said in his heart: I know that I am stupid, so I didn't give way earlier. But when I think about it, I can't say that. "Does the Lord of Xucheng know the movements of Xiling, as well as some news from the demon clan?"

"The demons occupy the Xilu and Tongqi regions, but there has been no movement since then, and many areas of Xiling are still calm. But it will not stop there, I am afraid that it is waiting for the opportunity to attack. Xu Ting said while thinking.

"Lord Asahi is right. I already know a little bit about Xiling's information. The way the demons attacked, I have also roughly figured out. The small village of Keyin under the rule of Xilu should be the place where the demons teleported and invaded, and the surprise attack of its troops from the sky is estimated to have passed through here. And now, I have received information that demon reinforcements will be coming soon. Once the reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid their time to attack will come. What does the city lord of Asahi think, what should we do now?" The information that Ander has can be said to be very comprehensive, and after Xu Ting listens to it, he can't help but marvel at what he knows, compared to it, it is simply pitiful.

Xu Ting understands that Ander wants to lead himself to the results he wants to hear, but when it comes to this, he can only say it with love. "According to the opinion of the subordinates, it is the best policy to divide a small number of troops and horses to fight head-on, and a large army to fight in a roundabout way, and directly take Keyin. Cut off its retreat and annihilate it again, and get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Ander laughed and asked Xu Ting, "Since the Lord of Xu City is the same as I thought, I don't know when I am going to leave?"

Xu Ting didn't speak, just stood there thoughtfully.

"If the city lord is busy with affairs and it is inconvenient to go on the expedition, then I have to arrange for someone else to lead the army on your behalf. ”

"No need. Xu Ting suddenly took over and seemed to have made a decision. "It's inconvenient for outsiders to command the wind spirit, so I'll send other generals of the legion to the battle. Don't bother the King of Labor. Xu Ting took the order to go out, but he didn't plan to go to Xiling in person. "Pei Yunzhuo, the deputy head of the legion, can go on behalf of Xu, I don't know what the Spirit King wants. ”

"In that case, I won't ask much about the internal affairs of your wind spirits. Ander then called a man in his thirties, dressed in white, with a delicate appearance, but there was a slight sense of vicissitudes between his eyebrows. "Yi Yunhe, General Yi, a member of the military department, has followed me in Tianling for many years, and his ability is outstanding, today I will leave him in Fengling and work with the Lord of Xucheng, first, I can help you slay demons together, and secondly, I can also pass some battle report information between you and me. Lord Asahi City should take good care of it. With that, he glanced at Yi Yunhe.

Yi Yunhe stepped forward to salute Xu Ting and gave a brief introduction. Xu Ting smiled and returned the salute. But in his heart, it was a killing opportunity.
