The Western Army that had rushed out of the sealing array boarded the Divine Warships.
They were temporarily safe. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before they escaped the pursuit of the Western Army, they did not dare to say that they were completely safe. They did not dare to let down their guard.
The five Divine Warships deliberately slowed down and flew southwest.
They could not wait outside the array for the other half of the soldiers to escape.
They could only fly southwest and wait for the remaining soldiers to catch up.
Whether or not the soldiers could escape the sealing formation and survive was up to the will of the heavens.
This method of cutting one's wrist to protect more people was also agreed upon by the five families.
Soon, ten breaths passed.
The five Divine Warships had flown 100,000 miles away from the sealing array.
More than eight hundred soldiers, covered in blood and heavily wounded, caught up with the divine warships of the various clans.
As for the remaining thousand soldiers, they were all trapped near the sealing formation, unable to escape.
Seeing this, Clan Leader Wanyan decisively gave an order.
"Give up on the remaining people. Don't wait any longer. Let's move forward at full speed and get rid of them as soon as possible!"
Following his orders, the five Divine Battleships immediately began to speed up. They exploded with their fastest speed and fled towards the southwest.
At the same time.
There were still more than 800 soldiers outside the hole in the sealing array. They were surrounded by thousands of soldiers from the Western Army.
When the Western Army was escaping, they were at the back of the line. After being intercepted by the Western Army, they could no longer escape.
They all thought that the Divine Warships and armies were still outside the sealing array, waiting for them to break out.
Therefore, everyone tried their best to break out at all costs.
In their opinion, as long as they could break out of the sealing array, they would be able to survive and escape.
Unfortunately, the Western Army outnumbered them by several times.
Even the Commander of Internal Affairs and Canglan Immortal took action personally. They used their supreme abilities to intercept the Western Army near the hole.
As a result, the eight hundred or so soldiers of the Western Army were quickly surrounded and killed, turning into ashes.
Even when they died, they did not know that the Western Army had already abandoned them and fled.
Twenty breaths later, the battle near the hole finally ended.
The earth-shattering sound and the divine light that filled the sky gradually dissipated.
Although the Western Punitive Army had achieved victory, they had killed more than 1500 soldiers of the Western Punitive Army.
However, there wasn't a trace of happiness on the faces of the Great Commander of Internal Affairs and Canglan Immortal. Instead, their faces were dark and filled with anger.
When the battle ended, they rushed out of the hole in the formation without hesitation, leading thousands of soldiers in pursuit towards the southwest.
"The mission given to us by the Imperial Tutor is to annihilate the Western Army and weaken the power of the Rebel Alliance to intimidate the Boundless Heaven Continent.
But now, we have only killed 1500 people, and the main force of the western army has escaped!
How do we explain this to the Imperial Tutor? "
"Eight thousand elite soldiers set up an ambush here in advance and successfully ambushed the weak western army.
Not only did they fail to destroy the enemy, their main force even managed to escape!
If the Imperial Tutor finds out about this, he will definitely accuse us of incompetence and incompetence! "
While chasing after the western army, the Internal Affairs Commander and Cang Lan Undying both had such thoughts in their minds.
The thousands of soldiers of the Western Punitive Expedition also understood this principle.
Therefore, they couldn't be happy and could only fly with all their might.
However.
The death of the last eight hundred soldiers of the western army won the precious twenty breaths of time for the main force.
When the Internal Affairs Commander and Cang Lan Undying led the Western Punitive Expedition and began the pursuit, the western army had already escaped four hundred thousand miles away.
Furthermore, the leaders of the five forces spared no expense in expending resources to maintain the Divine Warship at top speed.
No matter how fast the Western Punitive Expedition was, they couldn't close the distance between the two sides.
Even though the two sides chased in the sky for an hour, the Western Punitive Expedition still couldn't see the shadow of the western army.
The distance between the two sides was maintained at around three hundred thousand miles.
Most importantly, the western army didn't fly in a straight line under the command of Clan Leader Wanyan.
Every few hundred thousand miles, the Divine Warships would slightly adjust their direction and change their route.
Such a simple method could effectively slow down the speed of the Western Punitive Expedition.
After all, the most powerful people in the Western Punitive Expedition were the Internal Affairs Commander and Cang Lan Undying. Their divine senses could only detect a distance of ninety thousand miles.
They couldn't detect the traces of the western army and couldn't predict their escape route.
They could only determine their opponent's route based on the remnant waves of divine power left behind by the five Divine Warships.
Every time the western army changed direction, the Internal Affairs Commander and Cang Lan Undying had to spend a few breaths of time to cast spells to detect the remnant waves of divine power left behind.
This slowed down the Western Punitive Expedition and made it impossible for them to catch up to the western army.
The Internal Affairs Commander and Cang Lan Undying were furious and despised the western army's cunning, but there was nothing they could do.
… …
Unknowingly, two hours passed.
The intense pursuit was still ongoing. The two sides had already flown over twenty million miles.
Both sides had consumed a huge amount of resources, but the distance between them was still around three hundred and fifty thousand miles.
Clearly, if this situation continued, the Western Punitive Expedition would never be able to catch up to the western army.
Unless … the western army ran out of resources or the Divine Warships broke down.
But there was little hope for such a thing.
Even if it happened, it would take ten days to half a month.
By then, the western army would have fled back to the core of the Rebel Alliance's territory and the other armies would have arrived to reinforce them.
What was even more terrifying was that the Kenshin would arrive in less than ten days to half a month.
Thus, the Internal Affairs Commander and Cang Lan Undying began to hesitate.
The two of them stood in the cockpit of the Divine Warship and looked at the sky in front of them, discussing with gloomy expressions.
"The western army was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. They will definitely send a message to the Kenshin.
Now that the Kenshin knows about this, they will most likely be on their way to reinforce them. "
"With the distance between us and the Kenshin, we will need to travel for half a month to reach them.
But the Kenshin cannot be predicted with common sense. They will arrive in three days at the latest.
This means that we only have three days at most.
If we can't catch up to the western army in three days, we should give up.
Otherwise, if we encounter the Kenshin, the situation will be reversed. "
"Your guess is correct, but that is based on the situation where the Kenshin has just received the news.
What if the Kenshin has the ability to predict the future and predict that the western army will be ambushed?
Three days? I think it will take at most two days! "
"The Kenshin is indeed not a normal person. They can always create miracles and do unbelievable things.
Actually, even if we chase them for two days, there is not much point.
How about this, let's set the time limit to one day. "
