"Third level of the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted as he gazed at the 400 ancient mammoth silhouettes above the middle-aged soldier, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled into an arc.
The middle-aged soldier's gaze was icy cold, and the gaze he used to look at Duan Lingtian didn't contain the slightest emotion.
"The person that has been spying on me since early this morning is you?"
Duan Lingtian's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that was completely unrelated to him.
"As expected of the number one genius of Paladin Academy, you're actually able to notice me spying on you from the shadows. I feel that I've already been extremely careful."
The middle-aged soldier was slightly surprised, as he didn't expect that Duan Lingtian had already noticed him.
"You're probably not a member of the Crimson Wyrm Army, right?"
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at the person before him. The person before him was a third level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, but he only wore the armor of an ordinary soldier, and wasn't even a Decurion ….
He didn't believe that a person with such a cultivation would be willing to be an ordinary soldier in the Crimson Wyrm Army.
"You're very smart."
The middle-aged soldier nodded. "Exactly, I'm not a member of the Crimson Wyrm Army."
"Being able to silently sneak into the Crimson Wyrm Army without anyone noticing, looks like the person behind you isn't simple …. I'm extremely curious, who exactly sent you here?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything stared fixedly at the middle-aged soldier.
"A dead person doesn't need to know so much."
The middle-aged soldier didn't pay attention to Duan Lingtian, and he strode out with an imposing manner that shot into the sky like a rainbow.
Above him, the 400 ancient mammoth silhouettes that had just vanished not long ago once again condensed into form ….
"You're so sure that I'll die?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze went slightly cold, and the corners of his mouth curled into a disdainful smile.
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged soldier frowned slightly when he saw Duan Lingtian being so composed. He observed the surroundings for a moment, and after not noticing anything amiss, he sneered. "Do you think you can escape by being deliberately mystifying? Don't waste your time! Once you do something, you have to bear the consequences …. Today, no one can save you! "
The middle-aged soldier took another step out, and Origin Energy suffused him, intending to attack Duan Lingtian.
"Really?"
Duan Lingtian was still standing in the same place, unmoving like a mountain. His face was calm like an ancient well without any ripples.
"I don't think anyone can save you!"
At this moment, a low voice mixed with anger came from behind the middle-aged soldier.
Immediately after, two figures appeared behind the middle-aged soldier in an instant. One of them struck out with his palm and directly pinned the middle-aged soldier to the ground. Then, he stepped out with his foot and stomped on the middle-aged soldier, making him unable to move.
The middle-aged soldier's body crashed to the ground. He subconsciously turned his head, but when he saw the scene behind him, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
Oh my god!
What did he see?!
One thousand ancient mammoth silhouettes!
The person that attacked him now was actually a seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist!
"How is that possible? Didn't you say that the Duan Clan didn't send anyone to protect him? "
The middle-aged soldier felt a chill in his heart, and his eyes flashed with endless despair.
"Young Master."
Of the two people who had appeared, the one who had stepped on the middle-aged soldier was Zhang Qian.
The other person was Zhao Gang.
The middle-aged soldier's face went grim when he heard this familiar voice, and he struggled to turn his head around. Through the night, he finally saw the appearances of Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang clearly.
"General Zhang, General Zhao!"
The middle-aged soldier's pupils constricted, as he obviously recognized Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang were capable generals under the command of the Divine Might Marquis, the Cavalry Grand General Nie Yuan, and they had extremely high prestige in the Crimson Sky Kingdom's army.
So, many officers and soldiers in the Crimson Sky Kingdom's army recognized them.
"You recognize us?"
Zhang Qian frowned, and he stepped on the middle-aged soldier's foot even harder.
The middle-aged soldier's face went ghastly pale, and his eyes emitted astonishment. Who could tell him what the f * * k was going on?
Why are these two maleficent stars here?
Moreover, they seem to be secretly protecting this Duan Lingtian!
Isn't Duan Lingtian a direct descendant of the Duan Clan? How could these two maleficent stars possibly lower themselves to protect him …
The middle-aged soldier suddenly realized that this mission was simply a mission that would send him to his death!
"Speak, who sent you to kill the Young Master?"
Zhao Gang's face sank, and his eyes flickered with dense killing intent.
"General Zhang, General Zhao … He … Isn't he a member of the Duan Clan? Why … Why would the two of you …? "
The middle-aged soldier took a deep breath. He wanted to figure out exactly what was going on right now.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang looked at Duan Lingtian at the same time when they heard this, seeming to be asking if Duan Lingtian could reveal anything.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He was able to discern that this middle-aged soldier was a tough nut to crack. If he couldn't completely break down the line of defense in his heart, then the middle-aged soldier would probably rather die than speak of the person behind the scenes.
"Right, the Young Master is a member of the Duan Clan. But, the Young Master is also the nephew of the Marquis … As for us, we were sent by the Marquis to protect the Young Master. "
Zhang Qian's tone was calm as he slowly spoke.
However, when these words entered the middle-aged soldier's ears, it was like needles piercing into his heart!
Marquis?
He naturally knew who the Marquis that Zhang Qian spoke of was.
It was surely that person with an aloof status and honorable identity within the Crimson Sky Kingdom!
This Duan Lingtian was the nephew of that person?
"Young Master, spare me … This lowly one didn't know your identity, spare me …"
The middle-aged soldier's face was ghastly pale, without a trace of blood, and he struggled to beg Duan Lingtian for mercy.
He suddenly realized that his actions were simply bringing about his own destruction!
"Speak, who sent you here?"
Duan Lingtian asked once more.
"Young Master, if this lowly one speaks, are you willing to spare this lowly one's life? ‘
The middle-aged soldier's eyes flickered with a sheen of survival.
"You don't have the qualifications to discuss conditions with me."
Duan Lingtian's voice became slightly colder. "Since you know Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, and have a cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage, your position in the Crimson Sky Kingdom's army ought to not be low … Could it be that you think that my Uncle Nie's ability is unable to investigate your background?"
The corners of the middle-aged soldier's mouth curled into a bitter smile.
If the Divine Might Marquis wanted to investigate him, it would naturally be extremely easy …
"Young Master, I'm a Chiliarch of the Imperial City's City Guard."
The middle-aged soldier lowered his head and spoke of his identity.
He believed that there was no need for him to say the rest, as the Young Master before him would be able to guess it.
"City Guard?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes slightly squinted. "It really is him … Xue Lu!"
"What a Xue Lu, actually daring to allow a member of the City Guard to sneak into the Crimson Wyrm Army. Doesn't he know that this is a great taboo in the army?"
Zhang Qian's face slightly went grim, and flames of rage jumped about within his eyes.
Zhao Gang's expression was extremely unsightly as well.
"Generals, spare my life …"
The middle-aged soldier's face was ghastly pale. He only hoped to be able to survive now, and he had no other thoughts.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Clean it up."
Duan Lingtian spoke indifferently, and there wasn't the slightest fluctuation of emotion within his voice. After that, he turned around, undid his belt, and started to relieve himself. After he finished, he directly returned to his tent.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the middle-aged soldier didn't even have the chance to react before being killed by Zhang Qian.
When Duan Lingtian left, Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang had cleaned up the middle-aged soldier's corpse and concealed it once more.
"Duan Lingtian, why were you gone for so long?"
After Duan Lingtian returned to his tent, Xiao Xun asked.
"Can't I go to the big one?"
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Xiao Xun as he spoke angrily.
Lying in his tent, Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed, and a trace of rage arose within his heart.
Although he knew that the City Guard Commander, Xue Lu, wouldn't let the matter go, he never imagined that Xue Lu would be so insane as to actually want to kill him on the way to the northwest border battlefield.
"Xue Lu …."
Killing intent arose within Duan Lingtian's heart.
Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east.
"Everyone, pack up your tents. We depart in ten minutes!"
Commander Nie Fen's sonorous voice broke the tranquility of the early morning, causing all the Paladin Academy students who were still dreaming within their tents to wake up with a start. They left their tents one after another and started packing up.
After Duan Lingtian walked out of his tent, he noticed that the 10,000 officers and officers of the Crimson Wyrm Army were already fully equipped and waiting to depart. Now, only the tents of the group of Paladin Academy students remained scattered all over the place.
"This Crimson Wyrm Army is worthy of being the elite army of the Crimson Sky Kingdom!"
Duan Lingtian secretly praised in his heart.
Before long, the group of Paladin Academy students had finished packing up their tents and were fully equipped and waiting to depart.
Along with Commander Nie Fen's command.
Over 10,000 tall horses carried over 10,000 officers and officers as they galloped out. Everywhere they passed, the earth quaked and the mountains swayed.
On the way, they encountered some merchant groups and carriages, but all of them moved aside, not daring to directly clash with the Crimson Wyrm Army's edge.
After spending an entire two months of time, Duan Lingtian and the others finally arrived at their destination after following behind the Crimson Wyrm Army.
The northwest border's Relentless Thriving City.
Relentless Thriving City was a city that was located in a remote and embarrassing location.
15 km away from Relentless Thriving City was the border city of the Southern Champion Kingdom, Southern Barbaric City …
It was precisely because of its special location that conflicts between the two kingdoms frequently occurred here.
Whenever one of the kingdoms finished recuperating and building up strength, it would take the initiative to send out troops with the intention of capturing the other's border city and plundering it.
It had always been like this for thousands of years.
Since half a year ago, the Southern Champion Kingdom's army had repeatedly provoked the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Relentless Thriving City, causing the pressure on the Relentless Thriving City's army to increase greatly. Only then did they request for reinforcements from the Imperial City.
"This Relentless Thriving City can't be considered to be large; it's about the same size as Aurora City."
Duan Lingtian looked at the distant Relentless Thriving City from afar and his brows raised.
"It's not a county city after all. Besides the Imperial City and County Cities, the other cities are all about the same."
Xiao Yu nodded.
Before long, the 10,000 plus officers of the Crimson Wyrm Army spurred their horses into Relentless Thriving City, and at the same time, they slowed down their speed.
Although Relentless Thriving City's area was no different than cities like Aurora City and Iron Blood City, only the southern half of the city was filled with stores and crowds of people.
The northern half of the city was the campsite of the border army, and the northern city wall was even specially reinforced as an iron bastion against war.
"It's the Crimson Wyrm Army!"
"The Crimson Wyrm Army has arrived, they'll surely make the Southern Champion Kingdom's army suffer a crushing defeat this time!"
"Long live the Divine Might Marquis!"
