Governor, although we didn't catch up to them this time, they originally had an army of tens of thousands. Now that there are only a few thousand Ghost Soldiers left, it doesn't matter even if we let them escape. Moreover, now that the mine is back in our hands, there's no need for us to take the risk for these few thousand Ghost Soldiers. A Ghost King saw that the Governor was still unwilling and seemed to want to continue chasing, so he quickly spoke up to persuade him.
That's right, Governor, for these few thousand Ghost Soldiers, if we were targeted by the Ghost Soldiers of Sun Yin City, it wouldn't be worth it. Let's return to the camp first. Another Ghost King also advised.
In their hearts, they were still a little afraid of Hades. After all, Hades was powerful and had a lot of troops. If they really started a war with Hades, they couldn't afford to lose them.
If they could avoid a big conflict with Hades, they felt that it was better to avoid it.
"Alright! Everyone stop chasing and return to the camp immediately. Although the Viceroy was unwilling and helpless, he still agreed to everyone's decision despite everyone's reluctance.
The 70,000 soldiers turned around and headed back to the mine in a grandiose manner.
After the reinforcements from Mount Wu returned, Cheng Yu's spies also came back to report.
They really retreated. Now it seems that we can only use the second plan. Cheng Yu said helplessly when he received the news that the reinforcements from Mount Wu had retreated.
In fact, they had already thought that Mount Wu would not be able to catch up. Therefore, the current situation was also within their expectations.
Just now, they were chasing us. Now, it's our turn to chase them. Interesting. Xinhai said with a smile.
We will definitely chase after them, but we can't bring so many ghost cultivators with us. How about this, Brother Hongyuan, you directly put these few thousand ghost cultivators into the Soul Hunting Bag. Cheng Yu said after thinking for a while.
If they were to chase with these ghost cultivators, it would be the same as the reinforcements from Mount Wu. It would be very difficult to catch up. The most convenient way was to put them into the Soul Hunting Bag.
Hmm, this is a good idea. This way, we won't be affected by the speed of these ghost cultivators. Chen Hongyuan nodded and took out the Soul Hunting Bag and put the few thousand ghost cultivators into it.
These ghost cultivators were originally controlled by Cheng Yu and the others. Naturally, they did not dare to resist. Furthermore, Cheng Yu and the others did not have any intention of killing them. They felt that it was better for them to be more obedient.
In this way, there were only a dozen of them left. If they chased like this, their speed would be much faster.
Before long, they saw the seventy thousand families of Mount Magus. However, Cheng Yu and the others did not rush forward.
"Brother Hongyuan, release the few thousand ghost cultivators and wait here with them. We will go out and fight with them. When we retreat, you can take them and retreat Cheng Yu said after some thought.
After all, the other party had a 70,000-strong army. If a few thousand Ghost Cultivators were to charge forward, they would undoubtedly be courting death. There was not much meaning to it.
He had asked Chen Hongyuan to release a few thousand Ghost Cultivators to put on a show. At the same time, he could attract the attention of the Mount Wu Lai army and let them know the whereabouts of the Netherworld army.
Moreover, when the time came for them to retreat, there would be at least a few thousand ghostly cultivators. Only then would they chase after them. If it was just the few of them, Mount Wu Laishan wouldn't have sent an army of seventy thousand to chase after them.
These few thousand Ghost Cultivators were only to help Cheng Yu attract the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai. The ones who were really fighting with the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai were still the few of them.
After all, with their strength, even if all the Ghost Kings were to move out, it would not be able to cause too much of an impact on them. In particular, their goal was not to annihilate the 70,000-strong army. Their ultimate goal was to lure them to Sun Yin City.
Therefore, this required them to be able to retreat at any time. This was also something that a few thousand Ghost Cultivators were unable to do. Therefore, it was most suitable for them to attack the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry. This task is very easy for me. Just do it as much as you can!" Chen Hongyuan nodded. He believed in Cheng Yu's arrangements.
Therefore, he released the few thousand Ghost Cultivators again and chased after the 70,000 reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai.
Because the distance was very close, it was only about two miles away. The scouts from Mount Wu Lai quickly sent back the news that they had discovered the Netherworld army.
However, this news directly shocked the Governor and the others to the point that they were speechless.
"You said that the thousands of Netherworld soldiers from Hades appeared two miles away from us?" The Governor asked in disbelief.
Previously, they had spent a lot of effort to chase after these thousands of Netherworld soldiers. However, in the end, they were about a dozen miles away from them. In addition, because that place was not far from Sun Yin City, they had to return.
But now, these thousands of Netherworld soldiers had actually caught up again. Moreover, they had caught up to them without anyone noticing. This was too strange.
"Governor, it is indeed like this. At their current speed, it won't take long for them to catch up to us!" The scout said.
In fact, they were also quite depressed. They did not know how these thousands of Netherworld soldiers appeared. This was because they did not notice that there were troops chasing after them. However, the fact was that these thousands of Netherworld soldiers had inexplicably appeared.
"Hmph! This Hades is really bold. We stopped chasing them, but they still dare to chase us. They are simply courting death. Since they want to court death, we will fulfill their wish. All troops, listen up. Prepare for battle. We want to let Hades have a taste of the power of Mount Wu Lai! " Although the Governor was shocked by the speed at which these fellows were chasing, he did not panic at all.
After all, they had 70,000 troops here. Would they be afraid of a few thousand Netherworld soldiers?
Therefore, he immediately ordered to turn around and prepare for war with Hades.
However, Cheng Yu did not let the thousands of ghost cultivators continue to chase. Instead, he stopped when they were about a mile away.
As for Cheng Yu and the others, they continued to charge towards the 70,000 troops of Mount Wu Lai as ghost kings.
"Governor, they stopped a mile away, but there are more than a dozen ghost kings charging over!" When the scout saw the situation, he hurriedly returned to report.
"What? Their ghost kings are charging over? "The Governor was shocked. What the hell was Hades doing?
Generally speaking, when two armies fought, they would definitely let the soldiers fight first, and then the ghost kings with high status like them would fight last. However, the Netherworld Army obviously did not follow the rules. They actually left the soldiers behind and sent the ghost kings directly.
"Yes!"
