Two hours later, in the camp.
In a huge tent, there were many Heavenly Masters and generals sitting inside. The leader was the general in charge of this army. He was the General of Agile Cavalry of the Shangqi Kingdom. Although he was just an ordinary person and not a Heavenly Master, it was quite rare for him to be able to reach this position.
Nie Han and Lu An were also in the tent. When the general heard Xu Zhu, the commander of the Heavenly Master Camp, he quickly got up and came in front of Nie Han and Lu An. He took the initiative to bow and said sincerely, "I am Liu Huairen. Thank you for coming to help!"
"General is too polite!" Nie Han and Lu An quickly got up. Nie Han said, "Now that we are all allies, it is natural for us to come and help. The City Lord sent us here for this purpose. From now on, we are officially part of the Heavenly Master Camp here. "
Liu Huairen heard this and looked at Nie Han gratefully. He then looked at Xu Zhu and said, "Brother Xu, although I can't interfere in the affairs of your Heavenly Master Camp, since they are here, why don't you and Commander Nie jointly serve as the commander of the Heavenly Master Camp?"
"No problem!" Xu Zhu smiled and said, "It's just a title. There's something we can discuss!"
Liu Huairen looked at Lu An and took a deep breath. He couldn't help but say, "I just heard Brother Xu say that a young hero helped us win a great victory. He fought against nine Heavenly Masters alone and killed nine of them. Was it you?"
Lu An heard this and said politely, "General is too kind."
"You are too kind!" Liu Huairen said loudly, "If we can't drive the enemy away, we all know what the consequences will be. The people of the Heavenly Master Camp may be able to escape, but the 100,000 soldiers will all die here! Fortunately, you are here to preserve such a large number of troops! "
"Thank you for your praise, General," Lu An said.
After a few more words of greeting, everyone sat down and their faces became serious. In fact, tonight's surprise attack was unexpected. It must be known that this was not a fortress. Even if they broke through, it would be a mountainous area. Moreover, they would encounter other garrisons. Why the enemy suddenly attacked here was indeed a mystery.
"I've already sent someone to inform the other garrisons about what happened here." Liu Huairen's expression was solemn as he said, "This time, we suffered heavy losses, but the other party lost nine Celestial Masters, which can be considered as a great loss. Furthermore, after knowing that we have a powerful Celestial Master in our camp, they probably won't invade us again in the near future. During this period of time, we need to reorganize our army and build a defensive fortress. "
"No problem." Nie Han nodded and said, "With me and Battalion Commander Xu, it will only take a week to build a strong fortress."
Liu Huairen nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern."
Nie Han thought for a moment and said, "We have just arrived, so we don't know much about the surrounding environment. Please tell us more about it."
"Ah! It's all my fault. My mind was filled with what happened just now. I actually forgot about it! " Liu Huairen hammered his head and said apologetically, "We are located on the northeast side of the Shang Qi State. We are surrounded by mountains. Two mountains in front of us are plains, and two mountains behind us are plains."
"There used to be a small village in one of the mountains behind us, but because of the war, they all moved away. After passing the two mountains behind us, there is a large city about a hundred miles ahead. There are garrisons in the city as well, and the number of garrisons there is more than what we have here. "
"As for the enemy, they are garrisoned about a hundred miles away from the mountains on the plains. However, the enemy outnumbers us, so we don't dare to act rashly. Furthermore, the orders given to us are to defend. Even if they attack, it won't be us. We just have to ensure that we don't cause trouble for the front. "
Hearing Liu Huairen's words, Nie Han and Lu An both nodded. Nie Han said, "Since it's a defense, I'm afraid that we will have to set up more traps. Even if the enemy's Celestial Master Camp successfully breaks through, we must not let the enemy's army pass!"
"That's right." Liu Huairen nodded and looked at Nie Han with admiration. "We have set up many traps in this forest. Celestial Masters, please be careful when you go out."
"Alright." Nie Han said.
After chatting for a while, all the Celestial Masters left the tent. Xu Zhu led the people from Purple Lake City to the Celestial Master Camp here. Soon, both sides met. However, compared to the casualness of the Purple Lake City's Celestial Masters, almost all of the Celestial Masters here were injured and in a sorry state.
The Celestial Master Camp here originally had more than 140 Celestial Masters, but now, there were less than 40 left. The Level 1 and Level 2 Celestial Masters lost their lives in the aftermath of the battle between the Level 4 Celestial Masters. There were also many Level 3 Celestial Masters, and even two Level 4 Celestial Masters died.
Looking at the miserable state of the Celestial Masters, the Celestial Masters from Purple Lake City who had never experienced war frowned. Xu Zhu and Nie Han stood in front of the crowd. Xu Zhu opened his mouth and said, "Let me introduce everyone. These people are from the 14th Celestial Master Camp of Purple Lake City. A total of 89 Celestial Masters have been ordered to help us defend against the enemy!"
Hearing this, the Celestial Masters here looked over. Those who could stand did so, while those who couldn't could only sit or lie on the ground. They greeted the people from Purple Lake City.
Purple Lake City was now the leader of the alliance. Any country had to be respectful when they saw them, including the Celestial Masters. After all, Purple Lake City had a Level 7 Celestial Master.
After seeing the miserable state of the Celestial Masters, Nie Han immediately turned to the Healing Celestial Masters in the camp and said, "Quickly go and help treat them!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, more than ten Healing Celestial Masters stepped forward to help treat the Celestial Masters. The Celestial Masters who were being treated thanked them. They didn't have any hostility because they knew that if the reinforcements hadn't arrived, they would have suffered even more.
Soon, Nie Han and Xu Zhu built a group of houses around them, enough for the Celestial Masters to rest and live in. Nie Han turned to look at the Celestial Masters behind her and said, "Everyone is tired after a day of travel. Go and rest. We still have to wait for everyone to rebuild this place tomorrow."
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison and went into their houses.
Lu An was about to turn and leave, but Nie Han stopped him and said, "Lu An, I've already told Xu Zhu about your situation. You don't have to listen to our orders. You only have to fight when the enemy invades. For the rest of the time, you can cultivate in peace. No one will disturb you. "
Lu An was startled when he heard that. He nodded and said, "Thank you."
Following that, Lu An found the most remote house and stayed in it. Nie Han and Xu Zhu should already be familiar with building such houses. Although the house wasn't big, it wasn't small either. Moreover, there were beds, tables, and chairs inside. A few days ago, Lu An also prepared a lot of daily necessities. He took out blankets and other things from his ring to tidy up the room. Soon, Lu An finished arranging everything.
Following that, Lu An sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and focused on cultivating.
Before he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with thoughts of the battle tonight and the 30,000 casualties. However, after he closed his eyes, he completely cleared his mind and didn't think about anything else.
He wouldn't do anything that couldn't be changed. In this world, only when one was strong enough could one do what they wanted. He was only at the early stage of Level 4 and was still very far from being a true powerhouse. He wanted to break through to Level 5 Celestial Master in half a year and Level 6 Celestial Master in a year.
Level 6 Celestial Master was a qualitative change. The person in the black fog had once told him that when he broke through to Level 6 Celestial Master, there would be a qualitative change that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
The unique Three Fate Wheels and the unique Realm of Demon Gods would all change when he became a Level 6 Celestial Master. Lu An was working hard towards this goal.
The person in the black fog had also told him that even if he became a Level 5 Celestial Master, he wouldn't be able to compete with a Level 6 Celestial Master through the Realm of Demon Gods. The gap between a Level 5 Celestial Master and a Level 6 Celestial Master wasn't something that could be bridged through other means. The so-called reaching the heavens in a single bound was no joke.
Lu An frowned slightly. He cleared his mind and focused on cultivating. This cultivation lasted for a month and a half. During this time, he didn't come out of the house even once.
