At night, on the vast plain of Heaven Reaching City, dust was rising into the sky. Rows of cavalries of the Courage Dragon Battalion disappeared into the night. The army of 100,000 soldiers was divided into ten groups, and all of their routes avoided the official roads and main roads as much as possible. None of them even wore armor, and only held weapons. In this way, it would not be too strenuous for them to ride on mounts, and it would be easier for them to deal with the Tianji Empire after they went into battle with light armor.
…
At midnight, a group of light cavalry arrived at the border of Dingzhou.
Under the moonlight, the person wearing a golden royal cloak was Lin Muyu. He rode on the Snow Treading Stallion and held the Pear Blossom Spear in his hand. His body was surrounded by faint wisps of wind element power. This wind element divine power created buoyancy and greatly reduced the pressure on the Snow Treading Stallion. To his side, Tang Xiaoxi wore armor with a wisp of white fur on the chest and held the National Suppressing Whip in her hand.
"We've arrived at Dingzhou."
Lin Muyu looked into the distance. A golden light flashed through his eyes. Looking into the distance, he could see a city shrouded in smoke and clouds. It was Shangyuan County, the capital of Dingzhou.
"I didn't think they would still hold out." He sighed. He hated that he couldn't go as reinforcements. His mere 10,000 men were not even enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the main force of the Flowing Spirit Army.
"Your Highness!"
At his side, Captaincy respectfully said, "What do we do now? Quickly reinforce Dingzhou, or …?"
"No, we're not going to Shangyuan County."
Lin Muyu shook his head and said, "Xiangzhou County fell two days ago. How many men did the Tianji Empire leave behind?"
Tang Xiaoxi blinked and smiled. "Not many. Only 20,000 men are guarding it. However, there are also five dragon riders. One of them is a dragon rider. Are we going to take down this force?"
"What is the cultivation of the dragon rider?"
"The book didn't say it in detail. Let's go there and talk."
"Yes, alright!"
Xiangzhou was 300 li away from Dingzhou. If the light cavalry traveled quickly, they would arrive in about a day and night.
Tang Xiaoxi said, "There is a very powerful person in the Tianji Empire's army who knows how to buy people's hearts. After each city they capture, they open the warehouses and reduce taxes. They also put up notices to pacify the people. The army and the people are not offended. It is said that from the moment they attacked Mu County, they restrained the soldiers."
Lin Muyu remained silent. This was why attacking the city was more important than attacking the heart. Gong Shangming was the real opponent, and he was also destined to be their nemesis.
The light cavalry galloped in the forest. Before dawn, they had already galloped a hundred miles. Fortunately, the warhorses of the Courage Dragon Battalion were basically tributes from the Demon Clan. These warhorses from the Forest of Infinity were plump and strong, much stronger than the warhorses of the Central Region. Moreover, they also had some demon power in their bodies, so their endurance and physical strength were extraordinary. It was not easy for an ordinary warhorse to gallop a hundred miles a day, but this kind of warhorse from the Forest of Infinity could easily gallop three hundred miles a day.
"Rustle rustle …"
The sound of the wind rustling the leaves could be heard. Lin Muyu suddenly raised her hand and said softly, "Stop advancing!"
Everyone signaled to each other. The cavalry quickly stopped in the forest and no longer made any sound.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" A chiliarch asked respectfully.
"Someone is coming. It's a dragon rider." Lin Muyu looked at the sky in the distance and said calmly.
Tang Xiaoxi nodded, "A dragon rider with the cultivation of the 17th Heavenly Passage. According to their classification, he belongs to the Saint Martial Ancestor level. He is considered a middle level dragon rider, right?"
"Yes, there is only one person. He should be a scout."
Lin Muyu clenched her fist. She was suddenly worried about Wei Chou and Situ Sen. They were already close to the border of Xiangzhou. To think that there was a scout from the Tianji Empire. This was enough to prove how cautious the strategists behind the Flowing Spirit Army were. She could deal with this dragon rider easily. But if Wei Chou and Situ Sen met him, they would be in danger.
"What should we do?" A look of shock flashed past the chiliarch's face. He had seen the power of a dragon rider in the Blue Wind Harbor. He was already frightened.
"Don't worry. I will deal with him."
Lin Muyu calmed the morale of the troops and said softly, "Everyone stay where you are. Do not move without my orders."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled, "Be careful."
"Don't worry."
… …
Lin Muyu did not show off. She held her breath and waited in the forest. Only when the young God Rank dragon rider flew through the sky did she make her move. She opened her palm and a golden light shot into the sky. It was a golden gourd vine!
Once the Martial Soul was activated, the power could not hide.
"Who!?"
The dragon rider only had time to shout this sentence before he was unable to move. Both he and his dragon were bound tightly by the gourd vine. Knowing that he had encountered a powerful enemy, he subconsciously let out a roar. Instantly, the azure Dragon Defense Spin blossomed in the sky. It was like an energy whirlpool, roaring endlessly. In the blink of an eye, the gourd vine was torn apart.
However, in the instant that the gourd vine was torn apart, the Pear Blossom Spear in Lin Muyu's hand transformed into a snow-white light and pierced downwards. The tip of the spear trembled slightly, and the Dragon Taming Spear Technique's most powerful twelfth form was activated. Three spiraling forces exploded from the tip of the spear, heading straight for the Dragon Defense Spin!
"Peng, peng, peng!"
Three flaming lights instantly blossomed in the sky. Lin Muyu's casual attack had already shattered the opponent's Dragon Defense Spin.
"You!"
The young dragon rider hurriedly stabbed out with his spear, but Lin Muyu's speed was even faster. With a flick of her wrist, the Pear Blossom Spear wrapped around the other party's spear like a swimming dragon. Lin Muyu then forcefully retracted her spear. Spear Lock!
The dragon rider's reaction was considered fast. He hurriedly let go of his spear, pulled out his sword, and slashed at Lin Muyu.
However, what welcomed him was an extremely cold punch. It was like a bright moon falling from the sky, and it landed on his shoulder at an incredible speed. Twenty-three layers of waves violently tore his body apart. The Star Scripture's Long River Falling Moon had actually penetrated the dragon rider's body!
"Pu!"
The force of the punch even penetrated the green dragon's back. With just one punch, both the dragon and the man perished.
"Bang …"
A loud sound exploded in the forest, breaking many trees before stopping. Both the man and the dragon were no longer breathing.
The cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp who were hidden in the forest were all stunned. They all gathered around to observe the legendary dragon rider up close, even though he was already dead.
Lin Muyu quickly landed and picked up the dragon rider's spear and dragon sword. She said, "Who wants it?"
Immediately, a few cavalrymen answered together and immediately split up.
"Once the scout is dead, it will immediately attract attention. Their people will be here in an hour. We have to hurry." Lin Muyu stretched out her hand and pointed to the east. "This river is shallow. Warhorses can cross it. We will travel three miles through the river before reaching the shore."
"Why do we have to travel through the river?" A soldier asked.
Captaincy smiled. "Because the river can cover our horse tracks. Your Highness is the commander. You just need to follow orders and don't question them."
"Yes, Your Highness is wise!"
Lin Muyu, however, smiled bitterly at Tang Xiaoxi. She was afraid that they would soon be targeted, and trouble would come one after another. There was absolutely no way to hide.
…
The river was extremely cold, and the warhorses neighed in the cold.
Amidst the surging sound of the water, Lin Muyu suddenly said, "Xiao Xi, did you see that just now?"
"See what?"
"I only used one strike to break his Dragon Imperial Spiral."
"Yes." Tang Xiaoxi nodded gently. "I saw it. This means that you are very powerful. Hehe, my Mu is the most powerful."
"No, I'm not asking you to praise me. I just want to say …" Lin Muyu organized her thoughts and said, "According to Brother Feng and Wei Chou's description, as long as a dragon knight uses the Dragon Imperial Spiral, he can withstand the bombardment of more than ten magic crystal cannons without breaking it. I believe that the power of my attack just now was definitely not as powerful as ten magic crystal cannons. Why is that?"
Tang Xiaoxi stared blankly for a moment, then her beautiful eyes flashed with intelligence, "I know, it's just like you said, dragon crystals are the natural nemesis of magic crystals, so it doesn't consume any energy to resist the explosion of a magic crystal. It's like an iron wall resisting a gust of wind, it's immovable. But it's different to resist your attack, it needs to consume his divine power as well as the physical strength of the dragon."
"If that's really the case …"
Lin Muyu smiled. "Maybe the empire can be saved."
"What do you mean?"
"Xiao Xi, think about it. If a group of people randomly shot the Dragon Imperial Spiral with White Diamond Arrows, how long can the dragon knight last?"
"This …"
"We've always been too reliant on the magic crystal cannons, so much so that we feel that we need to use them against everyone. We have neglected the killing power of the White Diamond Arrows at close range. I think we can try. If the White Diamond Arrows also consume the dragon knight's divine power, we can probably find a way to gain the upper hand in the war."
Tang Xiaoxi was very excited. "That seems to be the case. Mu, you are too smart!"
"This idea has not been tested yet. We need to wait for the next time we fight."
"Okay!"
… …
Ling Han City, the commercial and military center of the Soaring Sky Province. It was also the place where the Marquis of Tranquil Sea, Yao Yuan, was stationed.
The sun rose in the east, and after the first ray of sunlight shot out, a new day arrived. A warm breeze blew over from above the forest, and it carried the fragrance of the earth and forest. However, the guards on the city were unable to carefully experience the details of this life, and they were worried about the arrival of the group of ruthless devils from the Darkstone Empire.
On the bench, Yao Yuan quietly leaned against it. His injuries were very serious, and his face was pale and extremely ugly.
"How is the battle?" Yao Yuan asked calmly.
The Vice Commander at the side said respectfully with a dark expression, "Marquis, our army has suffered repeated defeats. The Darkstone Empire's army has continuously attacked our cities and territories, slaughtered our citizens, and even … They've even eaten people. All the prefectures and counties have sent us letters requesting for reinforcements. Last night, their main army has already arrived 150 kilometers east of Ling Han City.
Yao Yuan's expression was gloomy. "Is there any other news?"
"A group of exiled angels is helping the Blackstone Empire. It is said that they are Divine Emissaries sent by the Western God Realm."
"Divine Emissaries?"
Yao Yuan sighed. "How can the gods of the Upper World participate in the war of the Lower World? Do you know anything else? "
"Yes, the leader of these exiled angels is called Xiyin. It is said that she stopped the Blackstone Empire's army in Dongtian Commandery from massacring a city."
"Xiyin?"
Yao Yuan's eyes lit up. "Where are these exiled angels?"
"It is said that they stopped at Yanming Mountain, 50 miles away."
Yao Yuan sat up shakily. "Put on my armor and head to Yanming Mountain immediately. I want to see Xiyin."
"Marquis, please think twice! Xiyin is an exiled angel from the Western Divine Realm. She is a demon who kills without batting an eye. Everything is just a rumor. You can't be sure! "
"No."
Yao Yuan's gaze was resolute. "As long as there is hope, I will fight for it."
"Then … alright."
