The closest city to Ruohai Straits, apart from Jiefu City, was Xuan Mountain City.
A red swift bird spread its wings and sped through the clouds. Just as it arrived above Xuan Mountain City, it dove down. It swiftly glided, and in just a moment, it charged into the center of the city lord's manor, into a wide hall.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Tong was sitting high up in the hall. Beside him were Zhu Junhou and Li Sina. Their expressions were extremely solemn. Behind the 2 of them, there were numerous generals in iron armor who were also present.
Xuanyuan Yiren stood behind Xuanyuan Tong, her expression uneasy.
"… Tan Tao said that he couldn't persuade Shou 'er and could only die with him. 7 days ago, I ordered Hai Tianyuan to lead 30 thousand elite cavalry to rush to Ruohai Straits. I don't hope to save all 4 thousand people, I just hope to open up a path of retreat for Shou 'er and try to save more people. Let's hope that we can make it in time. However, to have an end to this battle, we need to use the army. Now that the problems in my body have been removed, as long as I suppress the energy in my body and delay my advancement, it should be enough to protect Xuan Mountain City for several months. I will leave this battle to you, Marquis. With all the rulers of the cities, we should be able to gather 45 towns. Along with my elite troops, is that enough? I don't want the mind stone mines in Ruohai Mountain, but no matter what, we have to let Shou 'er pass Ruohai Straits. We can't let them successfully build a city and block off the path. "
Xuan Mountain City's military system, 5 men as a fire, 10 men as a staff, 50 men as a squadron, 100 men as a regiment, colonel in charge. 300 men as a unit, there would be a lieutenant. 1000 men as a unit, the leader as a major. 3000 men as a capital, there would be a lieutenant. Ten thousand men as a town, there would be a commander in charge. The cities of Donglin Cloud Continent were all like that.
Only the black fox iron cavalry and mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry were a little different. If they were of the same rank, they would be two to three ranks higher than other soldiers of the same rank.
Forty-five towns meant a total of 450,000 soldiers!
Zhu Junhou's brows rose when he heard that. To use 450 thousand men to fight the armies of Gantian Mountain and Blazing Flame City alone, he had no confidence at all.
However, he was more worried about the safety of Xuan Mountain City. Although it was said that there were a million of them, most of the troops were stationed outside to suppress the surrounding areas.
Mobilizing 45 towns pretty much took all the troops in Xuan Mountain City.
Li Sina, who was sitting opposite him, bit her lips tightly. She looked a little angry. It had only been a few dozen days, and yet such a thing had happened again. That Zong Shou did have some skills. His swordsmanship was connected to the spirit, and his spirit and martial arts merged into one. But did he think that those four hundred thousand people were made of straw? He actually dared to barge into Ruohai Strait. Wasn't this the same as sending himself into the mouth of a wolf?
With only a little more than four thousand men around him, what could he possibly do?
He wanted to scold out, but when he looked at Xuanyuan Yiren's ashen white face, his heart sank. He couldn't help but sigh and endure it.
Thinking that Zong Shou had the protection of a hidden sect, he should be fine. However, the people around him were most likely in dire straits.
As for the generals under the two of them, they were all silent, not saying a single word. Although their expressions were slightly ugly, a few of them were sad. However, none of them showed any signs of fear. To be able to enter the hall, they were all pillars of Xuan Mountain City. As long as Xuanyuan Tong gave the order, even if they were to die, it was okay.
"I also know that there are too few people. However, I really can't take out more people. I went into seclusion for a few years and didn't bother about outside matters. Instead, it allowed Linlan City to rise up once more. This is my fault. This battle is not only for my son-in-law, your young city lord. It also concerns the future of Xuan Mountain City … "
When Xuanyuan Tong said those words, he also felt that it didn't make sense. He sighed slightly, "We have received Brother Weiran's kindness, we have to repay it!"
Just as he said that, his eyelids suddenly rose up. Only to see a red shadow enter the hall.
He didn't seem to do anything, but a true qi was formed. Grabbing the bird in his hand, he took out a letter and within it was a letter filled with words. Xuanyuan Tong took a look, following which his expression was filled with many emotions. He was suddenly delighted, suddenly emotional, suddenly shocked, suddenly in disbelief, continuously changing.
Li Sina found it strange. Her husband, in this life, had never done anything like this. Apart from that time in Tiegang Hall, he had never lost his composure like that.
Who knows what the message on the letter was, to make Xuanyuan Tong so happy.
She wanted to snatch the letter over, but she was worried that there were so many eyes here. Li Sina coughed lightly and said, "Husband, why are you so happy?"
She gave Xuanyuan Yiren a look. Yiren understood and lightly kicked under your armchair.
Only then did Xuanyuan Tong come back to his senses, furiously staring at his daughter behind him. Then, he casually waved the letter in his hand towards Zhu Junhou's direction.
"It seems like we don't need to go to this Ruohai Straits. It was Tan Tao who sent a message, saying that Shou 'er's purple lightning spear Zong Yuan led our 3 thousand iron cavalry to crush 2 thousand tiger leopard cavalry and 50 thousand Yunxia Mountain cavalry. In just 15 minutes, he broke 7 formations. Crushing 400 thousand Yunxia blazing flames … "
When they heard that they didn't need to go to Ruohai Straits, those generals were all delighted.
When Xuanyuan Tong said those words, he was stunned on the spot, not daring to believe his ears. Zhu Junhou's body shook as he looked at his hand.
Then, the entire hall began to rumble.
"Using 3 thousand iron cavalry to crush 400 thousand, how is that possible?"
"It isn't like we haven't come into contact with the Yunxia Mountain tiger leopard cavalry. It isn't that I want to boost their morale, but our mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry is actually a little weaker. Similarly a thousand people, our Xuan Mountain City will definitely lose! 2 thousand tiger leopard cavalry, how can we crush them with just 3 thousand? "
"With Tan Tao's personality, he wouldn't joke about this matter. Did someone pass the message? This matter is too exaggerated. I heard that this time there are 6 Xuanwu ancestors blocking Ruohai Straits. Along with Feng Yu and Xiong Kui, there are 8 of them. There are also 2 return to sun spirit masters. How can they win? "
The entire hall was in deep discussion. In the second seat below Li Sina, a person suddenly stood up and bowed, "City lord, I heard that when Zong Yuan came to our Xuan Mountain City, he didn't say anything. He just reached 3 meridians of the earth chakra level and broke through to martial ancestor right? "
Xuanyuan Tong took a look at this person. He was one of his generals and was called Long Bao. He smiled and nodded, "That's right! However, a few days ago Zong Yuan had already advanced to 4 meridians of the earth chakra level. On the battlefield, he comprehended the maniac lightning spear sense. When he charged, he killed Yang Xuan, Mu Ling, Xie Nu, and Mu Jiang. In the end, he even beheaded the Yunxia Mountain prince Feng Yu. Tan Tao said that he is unparalleled in formation charging, a top general seed! "
The entire hall was deathly silent once more. A few of them couldn't take it anymore. The chairs they sat down on all had wood shavings flying all about.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, unable to recover from their shock.
In terms of unparalleled generals, there were a few in Donglin Cloud Continent. However, they all rose up along with a dynasty. Even the weakest one was able to unify half of Donglin Cloud Continent. They were all invincible on the battlefield, people who shone brightly for a time.
Li Sina's eyes opened wide in disbelief. Thinking back to that day behind Zong Shou, that ashen white faced teen who could be considered handsome. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to him. She really didn't expect that fellow who looked so dead and lifeless actually had such ability.
She didn't care about being reserved anymore, swiftly stepping forwards and snatching the piece of paper from Zhu Junhou's hands. Following which, his expression kept changing.
"Maniac lightning spear sense, unparalleled in formation charging, top general seed …"
Long Bao muttered to himself, following which he bowed slightly.
"If that is the case, then it is naturally fortunate! However, I also heard that this Zong Yuan only worked for Zong Yang and Zong Hao? "
"There is such a matter. However, after the battle. Zong Yuan swore a blood oath to be the servant of my son-in-law. At that time, there was also a sign … "
Seeing that most of the people in the hall still didn't fully believe it, Xuanyuan Tong smiled and stood up, "As for whether or not this news is true, it is also hard for me to judge. However, if what Tan Tao said is true, within these 2-3 days, it will spread across Donglin Cloud Continent and everyone will know about it! At that time, we will know if it is true or false! "
Whilst speaking, Xuanyuan Tong walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back. Stepping out of the door, he stood on the stone platform and looked into the distance.
"3 thousand iron cavalry trampling over a thousand troops? Shou 'er, you really gave me a surprise … "
The words on the paper were a little different from what he said just now. The 50 thousand Yunxia Mountain iron cavalry was personally controlled by Zong Shou using a demon artifact to control Zong Yuan to break the map.
In other words, Zong Yuan was an unparalleled general talent. However, Zong Shou was indiscernible.
However, Xuanyuan Tong wasn't willing to speak about this matter to his subordinates. The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. Without enough strength, it was best if he could hide it.
His expression calmed down as he looked towards the north.
… Thanks to his son-in-law, Yunxia Mountain suffered heavy losses. This time he could really take out his hand to totally solve the problems there.
If the east wasn't stable, he really didn't have much confidence to help Zong Shou interfere in Yin Dragon Canyon.
However, this unparalleled general talent was actually taken in by him. Was his son-in-law really the future ruler of Donglin?
※ ※ ※
Just half a day later, west of Donglin Cloud Continent, within a large city facing the cloud shore.
This place wasn't as majestic as Xuan Mountain City, but it was the only large city within these 2 thousand miles.
In the center of the city, in the largest building complex, there was an extremely elegantly decorated study that faced south and sat in the north. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. It caused the guards outside to exchange glances with one another. Who knows what was going on within for such a shocking sound to spread out.
At this moment, within the reading room, Xu Zhengyuan was startled as he looked at the letter in his hand. In front of him, the desk that was completely made of gloomy wood had already been turned into fine dust under his palm.
After a long while, Xu Zhengyuan's expression seemed to calm down slightly. However, his eyes were still filled with disbelief and shock. He took in a deep breath as he walked to the side of the window, looking at the small lake outside as he muttered to himself.
"Within Ruohai Straits, 3 thousand iron cavalry broke the 400 thousand alliance army! In this world, there is actually such an unparalleled general talent … " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
