Kong Han nodded in agreement. The reasoning was simple. Whether it was getting rid of the Netherworld Army or Niu Youde, they could at least give His Highness an explanation.
The situation was clear. The Celestial Emperor had mobilized a group of troops to completely control the tempo of the Black Dragon Swamp. If they didn't retreat in time, they wouldn't be able to escape. Once they were caught by the guards, the eastern army would be in trouble. They wouldn't be able to clear their names even if they tried. So, they had to at least get rid of one of them.
"If we can get rid of them together, we should try our best!" Ao Fei stared at the compass and muttered. He was under a lot of pressure from Ying Wuman. He hoped nothing bad would happen to him. If they didn't produce a good result, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to step down!
On a planet filled with smoke, Jiang Qianli, who was hovering in the air, put away the Star Bell and said to his assistant, "Order the troops to stop, gather, and prepare for war!"
As the order was given, the troops on the planet quickly gathered.
In the Heavenly Valley Palace, E Mei quietly walked to the closed bedroom door and called, "Lady!"
Xiahou Chengyu, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, turned around and asked, "What is it?"
She was really anxious and regretted letting Miao Yi lead the army to the Black Dragon Swamp. She had contacted Miao Yi a few times, but he always said that they had already set up their formation and couldn't retreat anymore. She didn't understand these things, so how could she know that they couldn't retreat after setting up their formation? She could only listen to what Miao Yi said. Miao Yi couldn't explain the situation over there, and only said that the situation was unclear.
Actually, Miao Yi didn't want her to know, afraid that she would interfere.
This was a little like a general not obeying the emperor's orders when he was outside.
In fact, it wasn't just Miao Yi. The Ying family was the same. They were all trying to cover up the news and wouldn't report the situation to their superiors. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to continue if they forcefully interfered. From this, it could be seen that the two of them were determined to fight to the death with each other.
"There's a situation outside. It's related to General Niu," E Mei said from outside.
Xiahou Chengyu quickly got up and opened the door, asking anxiously, "How is General Niu?"
She was pretending to be confused about the Xiahou family, so it was not convenient for her to let E Mei inquire about the news from the Xiahou family. Without the Xiahou family's information channel, she was really in the dark in the palace at this time. She did not know anything and could be said to be tightly controlled.
E Mei said, "Rumor has it that the Ying family secretly mobilized five million eastern army elites to ambush Domain Leader Niu at the Black Dragon Swamp. Right now, the Fourth Army is wantonly arresting the people of Juxian Hall …" She explained the general situation and observed Xiahou Chengyu's reaction.
"Five million Eastern Army elites …" Xiahou Chengyu's face turned pale as he cried out involuntarily. It was hard to imagine how a hundred thousand soldiers of the Netherworld could resist them. Now that the Virtuous Assembly Hall had suffered a huge loss, how could she not know that the Virtuous Assembly Hall was her source of income?
Calming himself down, he asked, "Anything else?"
E Mei: "I heard that there is a large number of bandits in the Black Dragon Pond. His Majesty has already sent a group of troops to rush there. Your Highness seems to be among them."
After asking a few more questions, Xiahou Chengyu quickly returned to his room and closed the door. He took out the Star Bell to contact Miao Yi, intending to ask Miao Yi to evacuate immediately. However, there was no response from Miao Yi this time. She didn't know if something had happened to him, which made her even more anxious.
Then, she took out the Star Bell to contact her son, Yuan Venerate Qing. However, Yuan Venerate Qing was currently in a sealed space. The use of the Star Bell was strictly controlled when the army was on a journey.
Just as he was feeling anxious, E Mei's voice rang out from outside again, "Lady, His Majesty has summoned you!"
Xiahou Chengyu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if Lord Qing was going to hold him accountable.
Inside the Starry Hall, a few of his trusted officials had already arrived. Lord Qing, who was sitting on the highest seat, threw down the ancient scroll in his hand and asked Gao Guan, who had just come in to greet him, "Gao Guan, you seem to have the Star Bell that can directly contact Niu Youde, right?"
Gao Guan nodded slightly, "Yes. When Niu Youde committed a crime in the Celestial Street, I left his contact information when I went to investigate."
Lord Qing teased, "Isn't there a bandit problem in the Black Dragon Swamp? Ask him what's the situation over there and how the bandit problem is. Of course, the key is to see if that brat can handle it. "He was a little puzzled as he still couldn't figure out the situation in the Black Dragon Swamp.
"Yes!" Gao Guan took out the Star Bell on the spot. Everyone in the hall had their eyes on him.
Miao Yi, who was standing guard in front of the compass in the hall, was stunned when he suddenly received the Star Bell's message. He was currently in a tense situation and didn't want to be distracted. However, Gao Guan, the Cold Magistrate, was really not someone to be trifled with. He might even interfere in the investigation after this, so he couldn't afford to offend him. In the end, he braced himself and took out the Star Bell. He asked politely, "What instructions does Lord Left Emissary have for me?"
Gao Guan: "I heard that there's a bandit problem in the Black Dragon Swamp?"
Miao Yi thought to himself, "Aren't you just pretending to be confused?" He replied politely, "It is indeed so. I am currently arranging my men to clear it out."
Gao Guan: "There are rumors that the bandit problem in the Black Dragon Swamp was secretly arranged by King Ying's men. Is this true?"
Miao Yi seemed surprised, "Is this true? Is Lord Left Emissary speaking the truth? "
He was also pretending to be confused. Once he revealed the truth, he wouldn't be able to continue fighting.
Gao Guan didn't expose him. He asked a few other questions before ending the call. He then cupped his fists and reported the situation to Lord Qing.
"Oh!" Lord Qing chuckled, "This monkey is a little interesting. He still refuses to tell the truth even now. It seems that he still has some strength left. It seems that Ying Jiuguang hasn't pressured him to the point where he can't even breathe. He still wants to bite Ying Jiuguang! Hehe, this is interesting. The five million elites of the Eastern Army still haven't been able to deal with that brat. My army has already moved out. Niu Youde is in the right, and the Ying family doesn't dare to expose themselves. I reckon that Ying Jiuguang will be restless now. It seems that the battle between the two sides will be decided soon. "
Not long after, Xiahou Chengyu entered the Star Hall and paid his respects. Gao Guan and the others also paid their respects to her.
Lord Qing stared at the nervous Xiahou Chengyu and said indifferently, "Chengyu, I heard that Niu Youde led a hundred thousand soldiers to the Black Dragon Swamp to suppress the bandits. Is this true?"
Xiahou Chengyu forced a smile and said, "Niu Youde has already reported this matter. I agreed to it. According to Niu Youde's report, the bandits in the Black Dragon Swamp have kidnapped the Netherworld's Vice Domain Chief, Xu Tangran."
"Yes! Suppressing bandits is a must. Do you know the current situation at the Black Dragon Swamp? "Lord Qing asked indifferently.
Xiahou Chengyu was nervous and said, "According to Niu Youde, the current situation is confusing. The bandits are cunning. It's hard to tell the situation at the moment."
In the dazzling starry sky, on a planet with billowing smoke, a large group of people rushed out and quickly got into formation.
In the formation, Jiang Qianli took out a long spear and ordered, "Pass down my order. Five thousand archers at the front, prepare the Mage Breaking Bows. Ten thousand archers at the left and right flanks. Without my order, do not expose the Mage Breaking Bows to avoid scaring the enemy away. Once the battle starts, immediately change your formation and fire according to the situation!"
"Yes!" The assistant received the order and quickly made arrangements.
In the distance, over a hundred people were quickly making their way over. According to the situation from the command center, they were getting closer and closer to the enemy forces. Long Xin finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He didn't bother asking Ao Tie anymore since he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him anyway. He took out the Star Bell and immediately contacted Miao Yi, telling him that they would definitely suffer heavy losses if they were to clash head-on like this.
Soon, Ao Tie received Miao Yi's transmission. After putting away the Star Bell, Ao Tie finally divulged the secret to Long Xin via voice transmission.
"Ying Wuman is in your hands?" Long Xin was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Ao Tie said, "Lord has instructed us to immediately reveal Ying Wuman's name after the battle. If the other side shows any signs of disregarding Ying Wuman's life or death, it means that the other side already knows that Ying Wuman is in our hands and is already prepared to give up on Ying Wuman. The army is to immediately retreat and not fight. If you intimidate the other party and don't give them a chance to ask for a reply … "
"Good!" Long Xin praised in high spirits after listening, "Daren's brilliant plan, we shall do as General says!" Turning around, he shouted back, "All advance!"
Their flight speed increased once more.
Ao Fei, who was staring at the compass, immediately received the news. "Report! The enemy has increased their speed and is heading in the same direction. They are about to engage us in close combat! "
"Good!" Ao Fei said solemnly, "Order Jiang Qianli to delay the enemy at all costs after the battle. Order Che Wu to prepare for a full-on assault!"
Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Hanxun communicated with each other using the Star Bell. Ao Fei's expression was one of extreme concentration.
The enemy's army of a hundred thousand was right in front of them. Long Xin brandished his saber and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five hundred and ten thousand soldiers quickly appeared out of thin air and split into five groups. One group charged towards the enemy with the might of a hundred thousand soldiers. As for the rest? The human army split into four groups and circled around the enemy's army from all directions.
"Only five hundred thousand soldiers …" Jiang Qianli muttered with a frown as he held his spear in his hand. Based on his experience, he could roughly estimate the enemy's numbers with just a glance. If he hadn't seen the army of a hundred thousand soldiers, he would have suspected that they were plotting something.
Inside the cavern hall, Ao Fei patted the compass and shouted, "Good! Order Che Wu to attack! "
Wang Yuanqiao was bewildered as he said, "Logically? Why are there only five hundred thousand soldiers in the human army? "
Kong Han replied, "It's fine as long as the army of a hundred thousand from the Netherworld Race is here. Our goal is to annihilate them. As for whether they are plotting something, they are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. There is nothing to be afraid of! "
In the Starry Sky Assault's camp, Ao Tie had already pulled out Ying Wuman. He hurriedly threw out a pile of jade archives and increased his speed. Like a meteor, they flew towards the army that was waiting in formation.
Many people in the front row received the jade archives. Jiang Qianli also reached out and grabbed one. He quickly used his transcendence energy to scan it and was stunned. Then, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It was a document written by Ying Wuman, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender. He was no stranger to Ying Wuman's transcendence energy seal.
Jiang Qianli raised his head abruptly and opened his transcendence energy to take a look. The silhouette gradually became clearer. That's right. The person being pushed to the front was Ying Wuman. His face looked miserable. Someone had already placed a saber on Ying Wuman's neck. He had seen Ying Wuman before. He hadn't even changed his clothes.
Moreover, he had also received news that Ying Wuman had been taken away by Wu Xianqi. Wasn't the other side chasing after Wu Xianqi? Why would Ying Wuman appear in the enemy's camp?
"Is that Ying Hou?"
"It's Ying Hou!"
"It's really Ying Hou!"
"How could this be?"
The generals who received the jade archives were in an uproar. Someone looked at Jiang Qianli and asked anxiously, "General, what should we do?"
