Ten days later, the sun shone down on the earth. People who were exposed to the outside would be drenched in sweat after a short while.
The empress, Xi Wanya, Zong Shen, Qing Ping, Gong Zheng, Ren Baqian, and many winged cavalry warriors were waiting in the forest halfway up a hillside.
"It's too hot! It's either a heavy rain or a scorching sun! " Ren Baqian moaned as he enjoyed the coolness of the shade of the trees. After ten days of relentless pursuit, he had finally caught up to the rebel army.
However, even though he had returned to Earth twice in the past ten days, he had almost lost a layer of skin! As soon as he entered the forest, he fell to the ground and refused to get up.
"Sir Ren's body still needs to be trained!" Xi Wanya said faintly.
Apart from him, the others were basically unaffected.
"Yes, I haven't trained you for a long time, and you have been slacking off. This time, I will start training twice as much every day when I go back!" the empress said thoughtfully.
Ren Baqian widened his eyes and looked at Xi Wanya before looking at the empress. Who did he offend?
A group of Cardinal Heaven bigwigs like you can't even compare to ordinary Spirit Wheel experts.
I'm only a Man Wheel expert! Man Wheel level!
How can we compare to you?
"Your Majesty, wait until I master Li Fu's [Godly Spear] before training!" Ren Baqian said innocently.
"You can't use your spirit before you reach the Spirit Wheel level. You won't be able to learn it!" the empress said faintly.
"Your Majesty, I have such an amazing physique, a rare talent that only appears once in a hundred years. I can definitely do it!" Ren Baqian sat up from the ground and vowed.
The empress snorted softly. She couldn't be bothered with him. She placed the robot husky beside her feet and stroked its head. The robot husky didn't even run two steps before it tumbled to the ground …
In a flash, Qing Ping grabbed the robot husky and placed it beside the empress. Only then did he exclaim in admiration, "This thing is rather interesting. The person who made this thing is really amazing. An inanimate object can actually act like it's alive."
Then, in a flash, the empress shot Ren Baqian into a tree. The tree, which was wide enough for a person to wrap his arms around it, was broken and fell to the other side.
Before anyone could react, Ren Baqian looked down and saw that the robot husky had been grabbed by Qing Ping's big hand, and its entire head was out of shape …
The fact that the empress had brought it along with her all the way showed how much she liked it.
Now that it had been destroyed by Qing Ping, he was already being merciful by only shooting him into the tree!
"Captain Qing, your grip is too strong!" Ren Baqian laughed as he pointed at the robot dog.
Qing Ping crawled up from the ground and took a look, apologizing profusely.
The empress picked up the robot dog and pinched it. The robot dog was like plasticine in the empress's hand. The areas that were dented immediately bulged up, and the areas that were originally fine were dented.
After the empress squeezed a few times, the robot husky's head was already beyond recognition. It was completely dead …
"Your Majesty, I'll go back and buy you two better ones!" Ren Baqian smiled bitterly.
Only then did the empress stop whipping the corpse. She reluctantly slapped a hole in the ground and buried the mechanical dog in it. This was to prevent its corpse from being exposed to the wilderness.
"Remember, I want two!" The empress raised her head and said to him after she was done.
Everyone waited in the forest for a long time before the baihu who had been sent out to scout came back to report, "Your Majesty, my lords, the rebel army is still two hours away!"
"Continue investigating." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"I'll go and take a look as well!" Qing Ping stood up and said.
There were still many experts in the rebel army, and if they were discovered, they wouldn't be able to return.
Having an expert overseeing would always make people feel more at ease.
"Thank you!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands.
He turned to look at Lin Qiaole, who was sleeping soundly on a rock nearby. The light that shone through the branches and leaves seemed to have been shattered and scattered on her body.
"150,000 people. As long as one person kills 200 of them, it'll be a piece of cake!" Gong Zheng counted with his fingers and didn't get it wrong. Ren Baqian wanted to give Gong Zheng a thumbs up for his mathematical skills.
"It's not like there are 200 Hei Langjun!" Ren Baqian casually said. The wild boars in this world were called Hei Langjun.
It was easy for one winged cavalry warrior to deal with 200 ordinary people.
However, 700 winged cavalry warriors would inevitably suffer losses when facing 150,000 soldiers.
Quantitative change could lead to qualitative change.
"200 Hei Langjun are really not to be trifled with!" Gong Zheng laughed. Those fellows were three to four meters tall, weighed a few tons, and had coarse skin and thick flesh. They were indeed not to be trifled with.
"The enemy's elephant soldiers are not to be trifled with either!" Ren Baqian said.
"With Sir Ren's things, it won't be a problem!" Gong Zheng slapped his thighs and laughed. He then turned to the people below and shouted, "Check everyone and make the best use of the remaining time to rest."
Ren Baqian thought about it and felt that there shouldn't be any problems with eight grenades and two flash bombs per person.
"When throwing the grenades, you must split up. Don't throw them all at once. It's too wasteful," Ren Baqian couldn't help but say.
"Understood!"
"In a while, the winged cavalry will be divided into seven teams with 100 people each. They will attack from seven positions at the same time and break up the enemy's marching formation!
The main target this time is the leader of the rebel army. As long as we find him, Xi Wanya and Zong Shen will be responsible for taking his head.
If an expert appears, I will naturally take action. After that, the enemy will disperse. Then, we will clean up the periphery and tear apart their flesh bit by bit. There's no need to fight recklessly. In particular, if we encounter a large group of defeated soldiers, we must retreat after one attack and move around the periphery. When there's an opportunity, we will kill them with one blow.
Finally, try to drive them in one direction. If they split up and escape, it will be troublesome to find them, "the empress said.
This was the tactic that they had been studying along the way.
Of course, even though this type of wolf pack tactic wasn't in line with the aboriginals' combat habits, everyone felt that it was worth a try when they thought about the pitiful number of winged cavalry warriors.
After another hour, the winged cavalry scattered and hid in trees or other concealed places.
There was a distance of 200 meters between each team of winged cavalry.
Following them were the mounted scouts of the rebel army. However, they didn't expect the aboriginals to receive the news and go around in front of them. They had always been wary of the pursuers behind them and not the interception in front of them. As a result, the mounted scouts only did a simple check and went back to report.
The empress was sitting on a tree branch about seven meters in the air and swinging her legs in boredom. Ren Baqian was hanging from her leg and swinging his leg in the wind like a hanged ghost.
"Are you coming up?" The empress looked down at Ren Baqian.
"The view here is good!" Ren Baqian followed the empress's legs in an arc in the air. He suddenly thought of a song: "Let's Paddle!"
However, the view here was good, and he could see the official road clearly through the gaps between the branches. He couldn't see anything from the empress's position. As for looking up, the empress's leg was pressed against the branch, so he couldn't see anything.
At this moment, under the sun, an army was marching forward with heavy footsteps.
The defeat and the continuous days of walking had caused the morale of the rebel army to hit rock bottom!
The 150,000 soldiers stretched for dozens of kilometers, and they couldn't see the end of the army.
Everyone waited until the sky turned dark, and only half of the rebel army had passed. At this time, they were in the middle of the rebel army.
However, the leader of the rebel army was nowhere to be seen.
Ren Baqian swung up from the branch and let go of the empress's leg. She grabbed his arm in midair and pulled him to sit beside her.
"Your Majesty, do we continue to wait or use another tactic?" Ren Baqian asked.
Previously, they had already predicted two scenarios. The first was that they didn't find the leader of the enemy. They would charge forward and kill one wave before retreating. They wouldn't want unnecessary casualties!
Just like hunting a powerful beast in the mountains, they would exhaust their blood and strength bit by bit. There was still a five-day journey from here to Da Yunze, which was enough to drain their blood dry!
Everyone hoped for the second scenario. As mentioned above, they would immediately find the leader of the rebel army, launch a surprise attack, and behead him. Then, they would defeat the rebel army in a wave of attacks, and finally pursue and kill them.
"I'm hungry!" The empress looked at him first.
Ren Baqian took out a Snickers bar from the bag at his waist and stuffed it into the empress's hand.
"Your Majesty, have some dessert first!"
Lin Qiaole, who was on the tree beside them, perked up her ears. She stepped on the tree and landed on the one that Ren Baqian and the empress were on. She hugged the tree trunk with both hands and looked at the bag at Ren Baqian's waist.
The empress took the Snickers bar and instructed, "Inform Gong Zheng not to act rashly. Wait until nightfall to investigate."
Ren Baqian grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to Lin Qiaole. "Did you hear that?"
