A hundred thousand troops flew in the vast white fur snow.
The short battle at the back didn't affect the progress of the main force. After another two hours of rapid marching, 56 salt star was already in sight.
Ye Kong and Xiao Yong and the rest all heaved a sigh of relief. Another two hours and they should be able to reach their destination. Once there, they could rest and discuss countermeasures.
But at this time, the vanguard officer Zhang Shaoyu hurried over and said: "Not good, using cloud treading in the white fur snow consumes a lot of celestial essence and it's getting worse. Many people in the vanguard have exhausted their celestial essence and can't walk anymore."
Xiao Yong raged: "These lazy fellows! Why can't they walk? How much celestial essence does it take to use cloud treading? "
Ye Kong didn't know much and turned back to look at Wu Guibao.
Wu Guibao knew and said: "I seem to have some impression that using cloud treading isn't suitable for long flying in the white fur snow. Because using cloud treading consumes celestial essence and white fur snow consumes celestial essence, when using cloud treading, a portion of celestial essence is consumed. At first, you don't feel it, you just feel like you're losing more celestial essence than before. But after a while, you'll suddenly find that your celestial essence has been consumed so much that when you want to use cloud treading again, you don't have much celestial essence left. "
"There's such a thing?" Xiao Yong was annoyed and asked: "Then when I used sword to attack, why didn't I feel my celestial essence running out?"
Wu Guibao smiled: "What's your cultivation, what's the cultivation of the soldiers outside? In the white fur snow, whether it's using sword or using cloud treading, it consumes celestial essence multiple times. Furthermore, no one would notice it in the beginning. Your situation is proof of this. "
"Can't use immortal artifact armor, can't even use cloud treading, this white fur snow is really despicable!" Xiao Yong cursed.
Ye Kong, on the other hand, frowned. The soldiers outside were only golden immortals, their celestial essence wasn't very strong to begin with. Using so much in the white fur snow, how could they last for another two hours?
"Pass down my order. Anyone who doesn't want to leave can stay! If you don't have enough Celestial Force, you can always replenish it with Celestial Jade. Whether you want your life or money, it's up to you! "Xiao Yong was simple and direct.
However, Ye Kong added another sentence. When they arrived at the destination, they would have to reimburse the actual amount of immortal jade spent. They were out to fight, so how could they let the soldiers fork out their own money?
Just like that, he continued to advance.
Another hour passed, and the situation became even worse. Many of the ten thousand-man teams stopped to rest in twos and threes, unable to move any further. Moreover, their immortal essence was getting lesser and lesser. Even if they were to constantly replenish their immortal jade, they would not be able to keep up with the marching speed of the army.
What was even more frightening was that the war-weariness was like a plague, quickly spreading throughout the entire army. From time to time, people would say, "What does it have to do with us? Why did we come to this godforsaken place to fight? "
Everyone in the flying car looked at each other in dismay. They were at a loss of what to do.
Xiao Yong said angrily, "These murderers are a disgrace to me. Pass down my order, if they don't leave, take away their heads! Set up a military law team and punish one as a warning to a hundred! "
However, Wu Guibao stopped him and said, "General Xiao, this isn't appropriate. Right now, the morale of the army is already unstable. If we cause a mutiny on the spot, then our entire army will be lost here. "
Ye Kong was also extremely distressed. There was only an hour left. If they persisted for a little longer, it would be over. Furthermore, it wasn't that he didn't allow everyone to rest. The important thing was that the Zhai family could guess the situation they were in. There would definitely be several armies chasing after them. Stopping to rest was a very dangerous act!
Xiao Yong paced back and forth. He had been fighting wars for his entire life, but he didn't know how to deal with it. He turned his head to ask Ye Kong, but he discovered that Ye Kong had already left the flying car. While he was stunned, he heard a drum outside the car. This caused everyone's heart to skip a beat.
Xiao Yong walked out of the car and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw that Ye Kong was already standing on the large carriage behind them. He was holding a pair of wooden hammers in his hands and standing in front of the drum.
"Should I use the Kui Bull Drum?" Xiao Yong already had an idea in his mind. However, in the current situation, using wooden drumsticks wouldn't be very effective. And using other drumsticks would hurt his soldiers, so he had been hesitant.
However, Ye Kong didn't beat the drum to stimulate everyone's potential with the power of the One-Legged Bull Drum. Instead, he wanted to encourage everyone with words, so he picked up the wooden drumsticks with the least power.
All the officers and soldiers heard the sound of the drum. While they were stunned, they heard Ye Kong say loudly, "I heard that you are all warriors of the Western Qin Planet. 500,000 years ago, the current Immortal Emperor went on a crusade against the old Immortal Master. Your predecessors made great contributions and made the soldiers of the Western Qin Planet famous! Now, you are still the warriors of the Western Qin Star, but what I see is complaining, weariness, avoidance, and laziness! "
"It's not that I don't want you to rest, but there are many pursuers behind us! As long as we reach our destination, we will win! And if we stop, we will be waiting for death! Think of your wives praying for blessings, think of your childhood sweethearts! If you can't go back, they will become someone else's wife! Are you willing? "
No one responded. Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads.
With a thud, Ye Kong beat the drum again. He said in a loud voice, "Ten thousand miles to the battlefield, Pass the mountain as if flying. The cold air spreads to the gold, and the cold light shines on the iron. The war is dangerous since ancient times. I don't know how many parents can't wait for their sons to come home, and how many children don't know who their parents are. Don't you want to go back? "
"The Qinghai Mountain is dark and cloudy, and the lonely city looks at the Jade Gate Pass. The yellow sand wears the golden armor, and I will not return until I break it. The South Emperor sent you to wipe out the salt bandits in the White Hair Domain, but now you have not entered the White Hair Domain, and you are weary of the war and afraid to go back without victory. Do you have the face to go back? "
The 100,000 soldiers were silent, and only Ye Kong's deafening voice could be heard. No one knew where it came from, but it quickly spread. Shameful cries filled the air.
"Your Honor Ye!" Xiao Yong knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "Your Honor Ye, we want to go back, we want to go back with victory, and we want to go back with the honor of the Western Qin Army! At your command! "
As he knelt, all the soldiers knelt down and said in unison, "At your command!"
"That's good!" Ye Kong raised the drumstick, pointed to the front, and said, "The 56 Stars of Salt is waiting for us an hour ahead. As long as we get there, we will have the hope of victory! I hope everyone can muster up your strength, stick to the end, and reach the destination as soon as possible! Ye swears that all the immortal jades consumed will be reimbursed for all of you! "
Hearing Ye Kong's words, everyone was relieved. At that moment, they heard another drum sound. Ye Kong began to beat the drum and recited loudly, "How can there be no clothes? I share the same robe with you. The king of the army, repair my spear … "
As Ye Kong beat the drum, his recitation filled the vast white hair snow. Unconsciously, more and more soldiers began to chant, and their voices became louder and louder. Gradually, the soldiers sitting on the ground began to stand up, urged their feet to step on the clouds, and began to move forward.
When Ye Kong repeated it for the second time, everyone had remembered it all. Even Xiao Yong continued to chant loudly while moving forward, "How can there be no clothes? I share the same robe with you. The king of the army, repair my spear and halberd. "
The 100,000 soldiers loudly followed and sang in the sound of Ye Kong's drum, "How can there be no clothes? I share the same robe with you. The king of the army, repair my armor and halberd. I share the same robe with you! "
