Chapter 319: Surprise Attack

The trembling of armor and the sound of neat footsteps on the dry earth were faintly heard in the hot wind, and from far and near in the dense jungle, like an iron spear advancing straight towards the location of the Huoluo stronghold.

This is a heavy armor talisman corps composed of 500 people, each member of the regiment is the elite of the elite, if you look down from the sky, you will see that this army of 500 monks, the lowest cultivation is above the quadruple peak.

Fang Wuji, the commander of the Heavy Armor Fu Corps, looked at the outline of the Huoluo stronghold in the distance, shining in the blazing sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, he remembered the meeting more than ten days ago, at that time, although he strongly opposed this operation, but as a qualified soldier, it was impossible for him to disobey the orders of his superiors.

From the beginning of the invasion of the territory of the Huoluo stronghold, the trace of uneasiness and doubt in my heart always lingered, their rune corps is indeed the elite of the elite, and it may not be very good to fight alone, but once the corps is formed, it is not just a superposition in quantity, but also a crazy improvement in quality.

Now coupled with the support of the Soul Hook City Corps on the hidden side, theoretically it should be fearless, and the combination of these two forces, even if it is a frontal attack, it has a great chance of winning, not to mention that this operation has been planned for a long time, and no news has been leaked beforehand.

Under the joint blockade of the two forces of Soul Hook City and Tongxuan City, the upper echelons of the military of Chiba Castle are still in the dark, unaware that the two big cities have concluded a secret treaty to conspire to divide the territory and resources that Chiba Castle has been operating in the jungle for a long time, and the Huoluo stronghold, as one of the largest strongholds, is the primary target of attack.

However, even though everything seemed to be going so smoothly, Fang Wuji, with his keen intuition, faintly sensed the slightest incongruity in it—it was too smooth!

Their legion marched straight through the jungle, heading straight to the Huoluo stronghold, cutting down trees and killing demons along the way, which seemed to be extremely flamboyant, but because there were soldiers from Soul Hook City next to them to cast a spell, the sound of action was minimized, and they also used a hidden army charm to deceive the enemy's warning measures, so that they could go straight to the target in a big way.

It was obviously a frontal attack, but it achieved the miraculous effect of a sneak attack. This is precisely the advantage of the two armies combined. The guys in Soul City have always been good at stealth operations, and although their head-to-head combat ability is the lowest among the three cities, if they are used as a support, they can be difficult to guard against and difficult to figure out.

The special talisman of the hidden army talisman has always been coveted for a long time by Chiba City and Tongxuan City, and for a period of time, regardless of casualties, he tried to obtain the method of making this kind of talisman, but in the end there was no gain, and there were many processes for this kind of secret talisman, and even the soldiers below the intermediate level of the Hook Soul City were confused, and even if they were lucky enough to know the secret method, but in the absence of the cooperation of the corresponding mental method and special Dao power, the hidden army talisman tested was just an empty shell.

Thinking of this, Fang Wuji's face became slightly gloomy, he didn't trust the soldiers of Soul Hook City, these ghost cultivators had always been vicious, and they acted extremely sneaky, maybe they would stab you in the back at a certain time.

While using the power of Soul Hook City, it is equivalent to entrusting his own safety to these sneaky people, if he is betrayed, the losses brought are absolutely unbearable, which is also one of the reasons why Fang Wuji has always opposed the plan to join forces.

Moreover, thinking of the possibility of Soul Hook City taking the opportunity to peek at their runes, the head of the Heavy Armor Rune Corps had a strong killing intent in his heart, originally Soul Hook City was strong enough, and it had always caused irreparable casualties to the army of Tongxuan City, if they took the opportunity to steal the essence of the Tongxuan rune, how strong would it be in the future?

"Boom, Boom...... Head Fang, why is your face so ugly? Do you have any objections to this operation?"

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded from the side, and as the sound suddenly came, a gray mist poured out of the void, and then a figure condensed beside Fang Wuji.

This is an old man, dressed in a black robe, his cheeks are so thin that they seem to be sunken, and there is a black circle under his eye sockets, and the hand that sticks out from the wide black robe is so dry, as if it is not the hand of a living person, but as if a layer of skin has been draped over the bones of the hand, and there is no muscle in it, it is purely a combination of bone and skin.

"Old man, I don't remember calling you out. ”

Fang Wuji's face was as gloomy as before, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and the words in his mouth were unceremoniously, as if he didn't care about the thoughts of the Soul Hook City side: "According to the agreement, your Soul Hook City Yin Soul Legion must obey my command and must not go into battle without authorization, as the head of the corps, you should hide your true body and wait for the opportunity to attack, but now you are openly showing up, if it affects the big plan because of this, I will definitely punish you for the crime of rebellion!" Arrogant, so angry, the old man is weak, he can't bear your military might, he is even less courageous, he can't be scared, I hope Commander Fang will be more considerate——"

Hearing this, Old Man Mi's face changed slightly, a touch of blood flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about Fang Wuji's rudeness, and said slowly: "The old man has been dreaming back at midnight for decades, and he has been thinking that one day he must destroy Chiba City, and naturally he will not do anything unfavorable to the plan. "However, Captain Fang, you can't help but be too cautious, with the assistance of my Yin Soul Legion, no matter how sensitive the people in the Huoluo stronghold are, it is impossible for them to detect our surprise attack, and now they are caught off guard by attacking it, which can be described as a victory in hand!"

In the forefront of the Heavy Armor Fu Corps, Old Man Mi squinted his eyes into the distance while smiling strangely, as if he wanted to see through the true face of the outline of the stronghold in the distance, and when he thought that it would not be long before he could hear all kinds of wails and screams, and the blood in his body that had already become cold seemed to be boiling.

A cold color flashed in Fang Wuji's eyes, and he did not answer with his hands behind his back, in the eyes of him, the leader of the Heavy Armor Fu Corps, these ghost cultivators were just tools to help him obtain military merits, even if they were Old Man Mi of the same rank, they were worthless in this upcoming war.

What a wonderful thing it would be if he could take the opportunity to use them as cannon fodder!Fang Wuji sighed maliciously in his heart, but it was a pity that perhaps the other side had expected that this kind of thing might happen early on, and they had set restrictions when the two cities signed the alliance, causing Fang Wuji's calculations to come to naught.

The two regimental commanders, each with their own ghosts, were walking at the forefront of the army at this time, looking from afar, in the distance in front of them was the shadow of a large stronghold building, but behind them was a jungle clearing that had been destroyed all the way, all kinds of broken tree trunks fell to the side, and the dilapidated scene was revealed under the scorching sun, which seemed to foretell the fate of the Huoluo stronghold that was about to face.

Suddenly, Fang Wuji raised his head in astonishment, as if he had noticed something, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but in the next moment, this trace of doubt was directly shattered.

Rumble!

Just as Old Man Mie's eyes rolled and he was about to say something, a series of fire rainbows suddenly crossed the sky, and they appeared silently, as if they had been there from the beginning, and quickly fell to the surroundings of the marching corps, and Ai burst out with a burst of red light and made a loud noise.

This loud bang directly shattered the silence of the jungle, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the crimson firelight loomed near the forest, completely surrounding the advancing heavy armor rune corps!
