Thinking about it, Chai Yuan made up his mind. Suman's eyes were filled with rage as he half knelt down, "Duke, please give the order. With our situation, we can only fight to the death! Even if I die on the battlefield, I will die with the enemy! "
"Great!"
Chai Yuan laughed out loud, filled with a solemn and cruel aura.
In the next instance, he was startled once more. Only to see the situation beneath the mountain change once more.
Only to see Yue Linghuan, who was originally sitting proudly on his horse, suddenly turn ashen white, like he was filled with fear.
Moreover, this panic was rapidly spreading. In just a moment, the ten over silver armored cavalry along with the ten thousand heavy armored personal guards around suddenly became chaotic. It was no longer like before, where everyone's wills were as strong as a fortress and they were as united as a piece of iron.
Even the large banner with the thirty-six words written on it was also put away.
15 minutes later, the twenty armies retreated one by one. They retreated back into the camp. Before this, their morale was high and they were filled with disdain towards Gantian Mountain. At this moment, they retreated in a slightly haggard manner.
They didn't even bother about the fifty thousand empty handed subordinate soldiers in front of them.
They also didn't have any intentions of continuing to defend in the opposite camp. They directly retreated like they were afraid their speed wasn't fast enough. Many of the heavy items were forcefully tossed aside.
"What is going on?"
Chai Yuan was totally confused, the rage in his chest was still the same. However, he didn't understand what Yue Linghuan was trying to do.
Baiting the enemy to attack? There didn't seem to be a need. How was it possible that there were changes at the back?
Taoyun City was west of the Cloud Continent, a small island 250 thousand miles in the ocean. After decades of war, they occupied four provinces close to the shore. The enemies nearby were only Yunxia, Blazing Flame and Gantian Mountain.
After joining hands with Yunxia and Blazing Flame, they didn't have anything to worry about.
"Did Yunxia City or Blazing Flame City tear up the alliance?"
Suman was also finding it weird. The moment he said those words, he shook his head. If the two cities wanted to stab their allies, they wouldn't have chosen to do it when the three cities were still below the cloud ocean to hunt together.
Looking back, only to see that the 200 thousand troops from Jiefu Zhu City who had just arrived were also retreating. Compared to Taoyun City, it was even more panicked. After a few miles, they split into several groups and frantically fled into the distance. It was as if he wished he could grow two more legs under his feet. There were even cases of armies fighting for the right of way, and they even trampled each other at some narrow junctions.
Suman couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. He knew that something must have happened, and it must have a huge impact.
Who knows what happened to make Yue Linghuan, Jie Fu, and Floating Frost City so terrified?
The hidden guard system of Gantian Mountain was built by Zong Weiran and was known for being accurate and accurate. Why was he so useless this time? Even the people of Jiefu City knew. However, they were still kept in the dark.
Chai Yuan also looked at his hands with a blank expression. He thought to himself, when did my Killing Qi become so powerful?
As soon as his fighting spirit was aroused, these people immediately retreated. Although he was called a famous general, he wasn't at a level where people feared him?
At this moment, he wanted to chase, but he also suspected that there was a trap. Just as he didn't understand, he suddenly saw an emperor light fly over.
"Flying message talisman?"
Chai Yuan looked out and saw that it was a talisman in the air. He couldn't help but be startled. When did their Gantian Mountain become so generous?
They didn't use the cheap and reusable red swift bird, but they used this flying talisman that was several times faster but each one was worth a grade 5 beast crystal?
He felt even weirder in his heart. Chai Yuan eagerly grabbed out with his hand, using true qi to grab the talisman.
Then, his expression was extremely interesting. Suddenly, he was overjoyed, and then he was filled with disbelief.
Suman was impatient, anxiously asking, "Duke, what happened at Gantian Mountain for them to use the flying talisman to send a message?"
Only then did Chai Yuan's expression return to normal. His hand trembled slightly as he passed the talisman to Suman.
"It's news from Zong Gang. He said that he heard rumors today. My ruler found a beast tomb a few days ago under the cloud ocean. He also used 800 energy destroying crossbows to attack from tens of miles away. He also borrowed the strength of the beast horde to wipe out the four thousand cloud ships of the three cities of Taoyun. In the end, only a hundred or so cloud ships managed to escape. I heard that the Lingyun Sect disciples were there. Not only did the ruler not take any responsibility, but he also reaped the benefits of forcing back the beast wave and returned with loads … "
After saying that, Chai Yuan's expression was slightly hesitant, "I heard that the official news hasn't spread over. It was news from some cloud ships that luckily escaped from the alliance army. Can commander Suman believe it? "
Was Suman also in a trance? A beast tomb? Even the smallest scale would have 8 million grade 4 beast crystals and above! It was several times more than what Gantian Mountain earned under the cloud ocean!
And those 4 thousand cloud ships that were once so arrogant were all destroyed under the cloud ocean just like that. More than 1,400,000 elite soldiers were all wiped out just like that?
The first thought that appeared in his mind was how was that possible? Then, he thought back to the Taoyun City army that retreated. If it wasn't for such a huge change that damaged their strength, with how arrogant Yue Linghuan was, how would he be in such a panic?
Many thoughts flashed in his mind. In the end, Suman took in a deep breath, "If it was someone else, I wouldn't believe it. But if it was the ruler. There is a chance! "
"Ruler? I also believe it! So it's time for the sky to change! "
Chai Yuan raised his head and looked into the sky, his face was stiff like iron. In his eyes, there was like a volcano that was on the verge of exploding.
"For the ruler to have such a son, he would definitely be smiling in the underworld! In just a few months, he caused our Gantian Mountain to recover and prosper. The ruler didn't shame our father's prestige! "
2 streams of tears suddenly flowed down from the corner of Chai Yuan's eyes. Chai Yuan tilted his head, using true qi to cause the tears to instantly evaporate. Then, he raised his head and laughed out loud once more. Suddenly, he held the huge axe in his hand and pointed it forward.
"The ruler is so talented, our Gantian Mountain will regain our old land and unify Donglin! Before he returns to Donglin, you and I can wipe out the 700 thousand troops of Taoyun City as a gift! "
Different from before, this time he didn't have the solemn will to die, but he was still filled with fighting spirit.
Green veins popped out on Chai Yuan's arms. Before this, he had accumulated a stomach full of rage and needed to vent it out.
Suman was startled, following which he laughed involuntarily, "Since vast country duke has such intentions, then Suman will accompany you. However, the important matter is to send people to Huanlong Province to contact the old forces of Gantian Mountain. "
"Old forces? That's exactly what I was thinking. They've really gotten off too easy! "
Breaking out into a laugh, a mocking smile appeared on Chai Yuan's face. When Gantian Mountain was at its strongest, it had 9 provinces of land. This Huanlong Province was one of them and was originally snatched from Taoyun City. Then, when Zong Weiran disappeared, this province fell back into the hands of Taoyun City.
A small portion of it was because Gantian Mountain took the initiative to retreat. A large portion of it was because the various cities in Huanlong Province all betrayed them.
At this moment, who knows how those city and country lords would react when they found out that the 3 city lords working together weren't the opponent of their ruler. Not only did they not gain anything from the Yunxia Hunt, but they also lost most of their cloud ships. Would they regret betraying them so decisively?
The current him especially wanted to see the expressions of these people who knew what was going on. He also knew that these people were worried about not having a way to join Gantian Mountain.
Before this, the rebellion of Jiefu City and Fushuang City made him annoyed but also helpless. At this moment, he wanted to let that kid Yue Linghuan know what it felt like to be surrounded by enemies!

On Psychic Island, Zong Shou had changed to another place. He knew that Qiaohan had a huge business to discuss. Zong Shou didn't show any courtesy, directly moving from the pier to the Kongqi Pavilion on the island.
As for Lin Ji, he was blocked outside. Zong Shou had already expected this person's reason for coming and was too lazy to summon him. He wasn't willing to waste time on this matter.
"Which means that your Kongqi Sect wants to take 500 thousand grade 4 and above military equipment and spiritual artifact orders from my Gantian Mountain? You also need to participate in the Yin Dragon Canyon matter? Then what benefits does my Gantian Mountain have? "
Following which Zong Shou's tone changed, saying weirdly, "You all really have confidence in me. You must know that in the past, my Gantian Mountain's income in terms of grade 4 beast crystals was only 300 thousand. 500 thousand a year, what a huge business. "
"That was in the past. Now that the spiritual wave is about to rise. My Kongqi Sect is really confident in the ruler and Gantian Mountain! "
Qiaohan muttered in his heart. Not mentioning the expansion of Gantian Mountain, next year their military strength would close to double. Just the wealth of fifty to sixty million in your pocket is enough to make people envious. Even if you didn't earn anything from now on, you could last for decades. You were really rich enough to rival a country. Even the Kongqi Sect's treasury was only comparable to that.
However, he couldn't say that out loud.
"As for benefits, following me to Gantian City will be 5 Xuanwu ancestors and 3 return to sun spirit masters to help your highness! My sect doesn't participate in worldly battles but if other sects attack Gantian Mountain. Your highness can use these people! "
Zong Shou pursed his lips, his heart filled with disdain. Just these 8 people and they wanted to take 500 thousand worth of business? In the next instance, he heard Qiaohan say, "Naturally, my sect will help your highness to block experts above the ascended realm to the best of our ability!"
Only then did Zong Shou understand. He was a little tempted, however, he still asked curiously, "I am curious about your sect, aren't you afraid that Lingyun Sect will be annoyed? These Donglin sects might not be willing to see your Kongqi Sect work with my Gantian Mountain. "
Qiaohan's expression changed. It was obvious that he knew what the outcome would be once this agreement was made. But then, he chuckled, and his face was filled with determination.
Zong Shou instantly understood. Pill Fountain Sect disciples relied on pill refining to cultivate. Kongqi Sect was the same, comprehending the path of heaven and earth when crafting artifacts.
