To the east of Cang Lin Valley, the mountain range stretched for dozens of miles. The mountain path was extremely steep, and even the hunters who lived in the mountains for a long time did not dare to climb it easily. However, a group of thick-skinned Armor Demons had already appeared among the thorns. They waved their battle axes to clear a path, and the thousands of Armor Demons on the top of a small hill were all cut down in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh whoosh …
The sound of flapping wings came from the sky. It was the air transport army formed by the Winged People. The Winged People were thin and weak. Only the wings on their backs were very powerful, and their chests and abdomens were very thin. A Winged People could only carry less than 15 kilograms, but seven or eight Winged People in the air each had a rope tied to their legs. Together, they pulled a high-level Demon over the mountain range, and more and more Winged People appeared in the air!
The QianFeng Army and the Thunder Rush Army had a total of 70,000 Winged People. It seemed that QianFeng had taken a fancy to such a powerful air transport force!
Not long after, the neighing of warhorses could be heard in the air. Some armor and weapons were also transported up by the Winged People.
Whoosh!
A figure climbed up the cliff like a ghost and came to the mountain range as if he was walking on flat ground. A white cloak fluttered behind him, and his battle boots stepped on the fallen leaves as he walked west. It was QianFeng. His eyes were filled with coldness as he looked straight at Cang Lin Valley in the west. That was where his greatest enemy was stationed!
In the forest, the high-level Demons who had been dropped by the Winged People all knelt down and cupped their fists. "Greetings, Marshal!"
"Rise."
QianFeng's gaze was unwavering as he looked to the west. "How far are we from the empire's army?"
In the crowd, Lian Xiao raised his head and said calmly, "Reporting to Marshal, Cang Lin Valley is a rectangular valley. It is about 20 kilometers long and five kilometers wide. The army of the human empire is on the open land outside of the valley. According to the intelligence sent by the Winged People, they have at least 300,000 soldiers gathered in the west of Cang Lin Valley, waiting for us."
"300,000?" QianFeng frowned and said, "How many Armor Demons have entered Cang Lin Valley?"
"Less than 100,000."
"Order them to speed up the delivery! Pass down my order, occupy the mountain ranges on both sides of the Cang Lin Valley and occupy the high ground. Once the humans launch an attack, we will attack from the mountain ranges on both sides. No matter how many people they have, they will all die! "
"Yes!"
Lian Zhao nodded heavily, but then asked, "Marshal, we have occupied the high ground, and the season has just warmed up. Once the humans attack with fire, the forest will catch fire, and I'm afraid we will lose!"
"Don't worry. The snow on the ground is melting. The fire won't start in at least five days. However, within five days, our army of armored demons will be able to flatten the human's position. Order the flying snakes to stay in the eastern valley. Don't act rashly until I give the order."
"Yes!"
…
On the west side of the Canglin Valley, the Empire's war flags fluttered in the wind. Xiang Yu's army was the vanguard. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses had blocked off the entire west exit of the Canglin Valley. Everyone was busy digging traps, setting up antlers and other defensive structures.
Xiang Yu carried his long spear and walked among the crowd, his brows furrowed. The group of Tang Family soldiers behind him did not look too good. Military intelligence had arrived in the morning. The Demonic Tribe had appeared in the Canglin Valley. This battle was imminent. In the history of the Empire, no army had ever won a head-on battle with the Demonic Tribe.
"Marquis, look over there!" A Captaincy suddenly pointed at the forest in the distance. There, a group of people nimbly traversed through the forest, as if the difficult terrain did not hinder them. Moreover, this group of generals all wore the golden dragon insignia of the Longdan Army Camp, reflecting dazzling light under the sun.
"Is that Lin Muyu, Wei Chou, and the others?" Xiang Yu asked. "What are they doing there?"
"Probably to survey the terrain!"
"Interesting …"
Xiang Yu smiled slightly. "Is the black beech oil ready on the two sides of the mountain?"
"Yes. As long as the Demonic Tribe dares to station their troops on the high ground, I guarantee that even their mothers won't recognize them."
"Heh, that's good."
…
In the forest, Lin Muyu led a dozen or so Longdan Army Camp generals of high cultivation to survey the terrain. Everyone leaped, bent, or climbed in the forest like agile apes. Not long after, they could see the figures of the Armor Demons in the valley in the distance.
"Swoosh!"
Lin Muyu leaped and landed on a huge rock that was several meters high. Looking into the distance, she frowned and said, "Is QianFeng really planning to fight the Empire's army in the Canglin Valley?"
"What's wrong, Your Excellency? Isn't this normal?" Wei Chou asked.
Lin Muyu said, "It's true that we are no match for the Demonic Tribe in terms of positional warfare, but who do you think Xiang Yu is? I'm sure he has already prepared a trap. Even if QianFeng can defeat Xiang Yu's army, I'm afraid he will suffer heavy losses. The QianFeng I know would never do such a stupid thing."
Situ Sen gripped his longsword tightly and said, "Your Excellency, we are bringing up the rear anyway. There's no need to survey the terrain. It's best if Xiang Yu's army is defeated. In any case, his troops are all Tang Lan's trusted subordinates. We won't feel bad at all."
"With Xiang Yu's defeat, we are destined to suffer a crushing defeat from the Demonic Tribe." Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "How are the preparations for our Demonic Crystal Cannons?"
"They have all gone ashore and hidden in the dense forest. They won't be discovered for the time being."
"Mm, order them to be on standby and await orders."
"Yes!"
… …
When night fell, at the pass of Sword Pavilion, the dozens of meter tall walls of the fortress looked extremely majestic. The armored soldiers were like a forest, and the flag of the Yihe Empire fluttered in the wind.
On a small path to the north of Sword Pavilion, a man in a gray robe rode over. The warhorse he was riding was extremely handsome and had streaks of green fur on its body. It didn't look like a warhorse of the Central Plains. He came straight to the fortress before stopping his warhorse. He raised his head and said, "Sir on the wall, please inform Marshal Ji Yao that an old friend has come to visit!"
On the wall, one of the guards couldn't help but laugh, "Just anyone dares to come and ask to see our Marshal? You should go. The Marshal is busy with military affairs and has no time to see an idle person like you. "
The man below the wall laughed and suddenly raised his hand. A shining object flew through the wind and shot into the stone wall beside the general with a clang. Half of it was exposed outside. It was a magic crystal coin. If he had wanted to kill the general, he would have been a corpse by now.
"Sir, this is a greeting gift. Please pass on the message for me."
"This …" The general took out the magic crystal coin with lingering fear. He knew that the only place that used magic crystal coins on the continent was the Demon Race!
Not long after, the gate of the fortress opened and the visitor was welcomed in. He had been hiding his face under the cloak the whole time and just followed the soldier into Ji Yao's residence.
The candlelight on the wall reflected a faint bloody light. Ji Yao raised one hand and said, "You can all leave. I want to talk to the honored guest alone."
"Yes, Marshal!"
After everyone left, the gray robe lifted his cloak and revealed an extremely handsome face. It was QianFeng. He cupped his fists and smiled, "QianFeng of the Celestial Race greets Marshal Ji Yao!"
"Marshal QianFeng is too courteous!" Ji Yao stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed. "I wonder what brings you here today, General Qian Feng?"
QianFeng said, "I have an agreement with Marshal Ji Yao to divide the territory of the Qin Dynasty."
"Oh? What do you mean? "
"The Celestial Race is about to fight with the Empire. Although we can defeat the Empire with our army, we will also suffer great losses. So …" QianFeng's lips curled up, "So I boldly ask for Marshal's help. Three days later, the Celestial Race will launch an attack in Canglin Valley. As long as Marshal sends 100,000 people out of Sword Pavilion to attack the flank of the Empire's army from the south of Canglin Valley, we will definitely defeat the Empire's army. At that time, the Celestial Race will take Heaven's Pivot Province and the rich Cangnan Province will be given to Marshal. What do you think?"
"The Celestial Race is really willing to form an alliance with Yihe Nation?" Ji Yao suppressed his excitement.
"Why not?"
QianFeng smiled, "A gentleman's word is as good as a whip on a fast horse. As long as Marshal Ji Yao gives the word, the Celestial Race will launch an attack in three days. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Marshal sends the troops, you will be able to establish an immortal merit. I, QianFeng, hereby swear that the Celestial Race will not offend your army in this battle. You can chase the Empire's army to your heart's content."
Ji Yao took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, thank you, Marshal QianFeng. Let's drink and chat merrily after we destroy the Empire!"
"Alright, then … I will dismount and go back to arrange the battle."
"Yes, forgive me for not seeing you off!"
…
As soon as QianFeng left, two people walked out from a dark corner of the room. One was Ye Xunhuan, the other was Qin Huan.
"The Demon Race is vicious. Making a deal with the Demon Race is like asking a tiger for its skin!" Qin Huan clenched his fists and said, "Perhaps QianFeng has already forgotten how he massacred hundreds of thousands of Yihe Nation's citizens under the steel walls."
Ye Xunhuan smiled, "Marshal Ji doesn't really believe QianFeng, right?"
Ji Yao smiled, "How could that be? Just as His Highness said, making a deal with the Demon Race is like asking a tiger for its skin! Hmph, no matter what QianFeng says, we will bide our time. It won't be too late to attack when a heaven-sent opportunity appears. "
Qin Huan said, "This matter is up to Marshal Ji. I believe that Imperial Father's judgment in appointing you as marshal is not wrong. Oh right … will Divine Monarch Huo Wu fight with us? "
"Yes, this is what she has promised."
"Yes, that's for the best! Prepare all the Heavenly Book embryos, Divine Monarch Huo Wu's power, and our hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Once we come out of seclusion, it will be the end of the Empire! "
"Hehehe …"
Ji Yao's face was full of pride as he said, "It's best if we can kill two birds with one stone, destroying the Empire and injuring the Demon Race at the same time. At that time, we will unify the continent's twelve provinces and rebuild the glorious Empire. Everyone will be collectively known as the Empire, and His Highness will be the true heir!"
Qin Huan also smiled, "Imperial Father will not neglect Marshal Ji and will definitely not omit the matter of conferring the title of King."
"Ah … Hahahaha … Come, come, come, let's have a drink first!"
