After He Jun and the others returned from the Wilderness, they heard a disciple report that Daoist Wan Ming from Xuanfu had come to visit.
Everyone guessed that he must have come for the battle, so they ordered someone to invite him over.
Daoist Wan Ming walked in and glanced at everyone. He raised his hand in greeting and said, "I've come on Xuanzheng's orders. In the next few days, Xuanzheng needs to lead us to the frontlines of the Lone Continent. Moreover, it's wartime right now, so the matter of the battle must be delayed until after we conquer the Frost Continent."
Guan Xuan was dissatisfied. "That's still taking too long."
Daoist Wan Ming looked at him and said, "No matter how long it takes, it's only two months. You can't even wait for two months, right?"
Daoist Lin tried to smooth things over. "That's good. Now that we're conquering the Frost Continent, it's inappropriate for anyone to be injured. Junior Martial Brother He, what do you think?"
"Two months …"
Although He Jun wanted to take back what belonged to them as soon as possible in the upcoming battle, delaying it for a while didn't hurt.
His supernatural power could last for years, let alone two months. It was just that they couldn't lose a battle during this period. Otherwise, all the advantages they gained before would disappear completely.
However, he was very confident in himself and didn't think he would suffer any defeat, so he said, "Then let's do as Zhang Xuanzheng says."
Daoist Wan Ming cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Guan Xuan said, "Senior Martial Brothers, why do you agree with him? Who knows what excuses they'll come up with after two months? If it were up to me, we should bite the bullet and end this matter as soon as possible. "
Daoist Lin shook his head. "You can't say that. It was already a bit too much to ask for the confiscated items. If we insist now, it'll seem like we're being overbearing."
He was the oldest here and had the highest cultivation. Although the others didn't think they were wrong, no one said anything.
Daoist Chu didn't say anything and stood to the side, thinking about something.
After Daoist Wan Ming left, he returned to the encampment and reported to Zhang Yu, saying that he had agreed to set the date of the battle two months later.
Zhang Yu nodded and said to Cao Fangding who was standing at the side, "Fellow Daoist Cao, do your best to keep an eye on this person during this period of time. I guess there's another story behind this matter. If there's any unusual movement, quickly report to me. However, you have to be careful. These True Cultivators and Sword Cultivators have very sharp senses. You don't have to keep a close eye on them. You just have to pay attention to whether or not you come into contact with suspicious people. "
Solemnly, Cao Fangding clasped his hands and said, "I will do my best to be careful."
After Zhang Yu asked the two of them to leave, he sat down to regulate his breath. After a day, he followed the plan he made with Cao Du and asked Daoist Wan Ming to bring some of the cultivators to stay here, while he led most of the cultivators to leave the fleet and head towards the frontier barrier of the Mi Province in the northwest direction.
After flying for half a day, a desolate land appeared in his line of sight. It could be seen that this was the result of repeated explosions from the Profound Weapon.
After landing, he had his disciples send out a message.
After a long time, several armored soldiers flew out from an underground military fort. One of them looked from afar and finally came to Zhang Yu. He cupped his fists and said, "You're Zhang Xuanzheng, right? I'm Chi Qu, the military marquis in charge of this place. Greetings to Zhang Xuanzheng and everyone. "
Zhang Yu returned the salute and said, "So you're Marquis Chi. General Cao mentioned you to me."
Chi Qu laughed and said, "I knew General still remembered me. Zhang Xuanzheng, let's not talk outside. It's better for everyone to come to the military fort first. Right now, the Independent Province comes to harass us every day. We don't know when the Profound Weapon from the other side will land."
Zhang Yu ordered the disciples who had followed him to enter the military fort, while he himself stood on top of a high wall, looking ahead.
Standing here, he could see several arc-shaped white walls in the distance. There were even more behind them.
The Independent Province's defense was much better than the Mi Province's because this place was located at the rear. With the Mi Province at the front, they could calmly build fortifications without worrying about being harassed.
On the open ground before the defense barricade was laid the corpses of countless creator-level creatures. One could even see the remains of a few creator-level wyrms among the corpses.
Chi Qu said, "The main army hasn't arrived yet. The people stationed here can only rely on these creators coming from the rear to defend and interfere with the warships. Don't look at all these corpses. When the Profound Weapon lands, everything will turn to dust. There's no need to clean them up."
Shi Yue, who was standing next to Zhang Yu, asked, "Is it like this every day?"
Chi Qu said, "How can it not be? Although these are all creations, they're all money. With such a huge expenditure every day, I feel heartache just looking at it. "
Vice Cong said, "Qu Hou, it's better than using soldiers to fill it up."
Chi Qu Hou said, "You're right, but the Frost Province is so big. Its territory and population are at least comparable to six or seven provinces. Yet you're telling me that this territory hasn't been discovered in the past few decades? Are all the officials in the court incompetent?"
As he spoke, his voice couldn't help but become louder, causing the nearby cultivators and soldiers to look over.
Vice Cong couldn't help but pull him back. Chi Qu Hou shouted, "Why are you pulling me? Do you think I'm a puppet? Do you think I'll shut up if you pull my hand? I'm telling you, I'm going to say it today. There are traitors in the two manors! "
Vice Cong was helpless. Chi Qu Hou was very senior. Logically speaking, he should have been promoted to captain long ago. Even if he wasn't a commander with real power, he should have been promoted. But because of his rotten mouth, he kept offending people, so he could only be a marquis after so many years.
Zhang Yu didn't say anything. There was definitely a problem in the two manors. Not to mention anything else, just the news sent by Master Craftsman Gong had been ignored for a long time.
It wouldn't make sense if it was only for the sake of dealing with Tabor. After all, the Frost Province would become a hindrance in the war, and there were very few arrangements made to deal with it.
Chi Junhou was still cursing and swearing at the people of the two manors. At this time, he suddenly saw dots of white light floating from the opposite side of the barrier. It could be seen that these were flying boats with frost patterns on their bellies. At a glance, there were more than a hundred of them.
Seeing this, Chi Qu Hou immediately said, "They're here! Zhang Xuanzheng, quickly follow us inside to hide. "
Zhang Yu didn't move. He said, "Chi Qu Hou, you guys go back first."
Chi Junhou was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head and said, "Look at me, you're not a mortal. Zhang Xuanzheng, you have to be careful. Old Chi has a mortal body, so you should hide first."
He didn't waste any time. He called out and led all the soldiers to hide in the earth barricade.
Zhang Yu instructed Shi Yue. The latter nodded, and after a while, all of the cultivators of the Four Chapters who came with him split up. Each of them was responsible for guarding a section of land.
After everyone stood still, light flashed from their bodies as they released their visualization diagrams one by one.
Not long after, as the Frost Province fleet gradually approached, numerous creations flew out to obstruct them. However, the other side also released a large number of creations.
According to the usual situation, the Frost Province fleet would break through the obstructions and launch a wave of xuan weapon explosions to destroy the Azure Sun's frontline as much as possible.
But because they were afraid of an ambush from the Azure Sun fleet, they didn't dare to go too deep and didn't dare to stay outside for too long. They would immediately turn back after throwing out their xuan weapons.
But this time, when the Frost Province fleet entered the range of three hundred li from the stronghold, their flying boats exploded one after another.
In just a short while, they lost more than twenty flying boats. This was almost a fifth of their fleet. The entire fleet panicked.
At this time, they seemed to have received orders to retreat. The fleet hurriedly threw out a few xuan weapons from afar and then hurriedly retreated. However, they couldn't avoid another round of losses in the process.
After the Frost Province fleet completely disappeared, Chi Junhou walked out with his soldiers. Seeing the situation before him, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
All of the soldiers present cheered.
This was the first time the Frost Province army was forced to retreat in advance without approaching the stronghold. Moreover, they looked to be in a very sorry state. This greatly boosted their morale.
Chi Junhou looked at the figures of Zhang Yu and the others suspended in the air. He turned to his vice officer and said excitedly, "With the Xuanfu comrades here, I don't have to be a local rat anymore. In a few days, it will be my turn to crack the heads of the Frost Province people!"
In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere in the Azure Sun stronghold, the discussion hall of the stronghold was solemn.
The one in charge of military affairs now was Duzhou General Qi Li. Although he didn't have any real power and only had the responsibility of commanding, he was slightly better than the Mishou general in that he had the full support of the Right Auxiliary Kingdom. His words were very effective.
At this time, a Frost Continent advisor in the hall said: "General, after our fleet went out, we were intercepted by cultivators. In just half a summer, we lost more than forty warships. We can't afford to suffer such losses too many times."
Qi Li said, "What is your suggestion?"
The advisor said, "We don't have any cultivators. We can only rely on more creations and armored soldiers to provide protection."
However, as soon as he said this, someone immediately objected, "This method is useless. The cultivators' visualization diagrams are very flexible and can change between reality and illusion. It's very difficult to rely on creations to stop them. Otherwise, why do you think Mishou kept those cultivators who had their minds altered?"
The advisor said, "But those cultivators who had their minds altered were all used in the battle of Mishou. We can't find another candidate to fight against them unless we have the support of another divine power. Originally, a few of the EsGod Divine Kingdoms said that they would send their EsGods over to help, but there's no movement now."
Qi Li's vice officer said, "What's the use of complaining about this now? General wants you to solve the problem at hand. "
The advisor discussed with his colleagues and suggested, "General, we suggest that we release the nation destroying divine dragon from the production department to restrain those cultivators."
The vice officer frowned, "That divine dragon will be used to deal with the Azure Sun fleet …"
Qi Li shook his head and said, "If we let those Cultivators block us, then our warships wouldn't be a threat to the Green Sun Army. These creations are meant to be used. The Law Institute has been exaggerating about this Divine Flood Dragon. It's time to take it out and see if it's as useful as they say."
He glanced at the vice officer, "Pass down the order to release the divine dragon. If it's useful, we'll send another round of mystic soldiers today. We can't let the Azure Sun stronghold pile up the stronghold in front of us so easily."
