Inside the Earth Star military base, the dome above had already been closed, and the snowstorm was blocked outside in time. The traces of smoke and corpses on the plaza had also been cleaned up.
This time, when the Shangchen Tian Dao Pawns attacked, none of the Dao Pawns managed to escape. They were all wiped out by the city army. However, the city army saw the Fu Clan's army as an enemy and attacked them. In order to cover the retreat of a portion of the Dao Pawns, the remaining Dao Pawns put up a fierce resistance.
The Fu's Army even released all the Xuan soldiers that they had brought with them. This caused the garrison to lose some of their men.
In the inner hall, Miao Guangwu was writing a report. As the military chief, he could not escape the blame for what had happened in the garrison.
At this moment, a soldier outside said, "Chief, Deputy Commander Chen wants to see you."
Miao Guangwu did not stop writing and said, "Let him in."
After a while, a military officer with slender eyes walked in. He had a feminine aura but was tall and was a head taller than the average person.
Miao Guangwu looked up and said, "Deputy Commander Chen, is there anything I can help you with? I am still writing the report. If it is not urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow. "
Deputy Commander Chen said, "I am here to ask you, how do you plan to deal with the captured Fu's Army?" His voice was hoarse because he had been injured in the past.
Miao Guangwu thought for a while and said, "Although we can tell from the testimony of the Fu Family's soldiers that only a portion of them participated in the attack, we can't be sure that they are completely innocent. We can only lock them up first and interrogate them together when we find those who escaped."
Deputy Commander Chen said in a low voice, "Since we have already taken action, there must be something wrong with the Fu's Army."
Miao Guangwu's hand paused and he looked up with a sharp gaze. He said, "What do you mean, Deputy Commander Chen?"
Deputy Commander Chen's expression did not change as he said: "General, you should know what I mean. This time, we have killed nearly half of the Fu family's soldiers. For the Fu family to be able to run such a large army, they must have a lot of connections. If this matter is reported to the Military Affairs Department, it may cause trouble for you."
Miao Guangwu was silent for a moment, then said, "This is wartime. In a situation where we don't know who the enemy is, I have to protect the army first." He paused. "I have a clear conscience about what I've done."
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen said coldly, "But to put it another way, it could be said that Commander-In-Chief Chen was bewitched by the enemy and was unable to discern the situation, killing many innocent soldiers."
Seeing that Miao Guangwu did not speak, he took two steps forward and said, "Now, all you need to do is to give an order and you will be able to put an end to this hidden danger. What's more, the Fu family is not innocent."
Miao Guangwu said in a deep voice, "Previously, I treated them as enemies just in case. If I were to do such a thing now, I would be distorting the truth and slandering them."
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen looked at him for a moment and said, "I know that you feel pity for the Fu family's army, but do you think that you can forgive the brothers who died in this battle?"
Miao Guangwu frowned. "What do you mean?"
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen said, "Most of the brothers who died were killed in the battle with the Fu family's army. If the Fu family's army is not considered as enemies, then wouldn't they have died in vain? Their families will not receive any compensation or posthumous posthumous awards! "
"So this is Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen's purpose." Miao Guangwu looked at him and said, "You don't have to worry, the matter is not that serious. The Military Affairs Department is not unreasonable and I believe that the Military Affairs Department will be able to deal with this matter impartially."
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen said, "Under normal circumstances, that would be the case. But this involves what I said earlier. Have you thought about it, if the Fu family's army goes back and files a complaint, then this matter will not be settled immediately. It can even be delayed for a few years.
When that time comes, the Military Affairs Department may even choose to transfer the two of us away to appease these mercenaries. You and I will be fine, but the newly appointed Vice Commander-In-Chief will not be concerned about the brothers who died. "
Miao Guangwu thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen, I, Miao Guangwu, know a few people in the Military Affairs Department. You don't have to worry about this matter. I can promise you and everyone else that the compensation for the soldiers who died in battle will not be reduced. If there is nothing else, you may go back."
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen saw that his attitude was firm and did not say anything else. He stood up and saluted him before walking out.
He went all the way back to his study and there was a Taoist waiting for him. Seeing him enter, the Taoist asked, "How is it?"
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen said, "Vice Commander-In-Chief Miao is indeed a stubborn person. He is stubborn and refuses to listen to advice. If that is the case, then I will have to trouble Lin Daoxiu to deal with all the captives of the Fu family's army."
Lin Daoxiu said, "That is how it should be." His figure flashed and he disappeared from the study.
Vice Commander-In-Chief Chen looked out of the window. Once the Fu family's soldiers were dead, this matter would be confirmed and Miao Guangwu would have no choice but to follow them.
At the northern end of the Frost Star, Daoist Ji walked out of the underground cave onto the open ground. The cold white clouds in the distance seemed to be pressing down on the horizon.
He walked a hundred steps and stood on a round plate. With a rumbling sound under his feet, a bronze pillar rose from the ground and supported him as he slowly ascended.
After a short while, with a series of flashes of light, more than 20 Dao Pawns appeared and surrounded him. He waved his sleeve, and all the Dao Pawns bowed to him before turning into streaks of light and flying in different directions.
At this moment, he took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and forced a trace of essence blood from his fingertip. He drew back and forth on the talisman and when he was done, he threw it to the ground.
The moment the jade talisman landed, it seemed to have triggered something. With a boom, countless golden talismans with him as the center flashed and spread outwards until they were hundreds of miles away.
At the same time, Zhang Yu was riding the white boat towards the northern end of the Earth Star. At this moment, he suddenly saw that the northern part of the Earth Star that was shown on the map was suddenly missing a piece. It was as if that piece had been dug out.
He was not the only one who noticed this. Everyone present also noticed this change.
Daoist Zuo took a few glances and stroked his beard as he said, "This should be the power of an array. The area that it occupies is not small. Daoist Zhang, it seems that we have found the right place."
Zhang Yu nodded. The other party had suddenly activated the array at this moment. It was very likely that the other party had discovered their movements. However, this also showed that they were heading towards the right place.
As the white boat gradually moved towards the north, the snowstorm outside gradually weakened. It was obvious that they had left the range of the snowstorm. After about 15 minutes, a huge area of flickering light appeared in front of them. Above them, there was a floating light fog. Almost all the land in the north seemed to be covered by it.
Daoist Zuo looked left and right and said with a serious expression, "Daoist Zhang, this is a protective array that uses the Qi of the Earth Meridian. The further in we go, the more obstructions there will be. It would be best if we could exert force from all four directions. This way, we can draw on the array's mechanism and prevent the array's power from being integrated into one."
Hearing this, Wei Lingying, who was standing behind, immediately stood out and said, "Xuanxiu Zhang, let the Wei Family Army move out."
Previously, along the way, whenever they encountered the followers of the Evil God, Zhang Yu would directly release the Xuan Weapons to destroy them. Although the consumption of the Xuan Weapons was counted on the Wei Family Army's head, this feeling of being protected by someone made them feel uncomfortable.
However, as a mercenary, Wei Lingying knew that this was the right thing to do. If they could use weapons to destroy the enemy, then there was no need to sacrifice human lives. This was because human lives were the most important. If they could not be a good helper, at least they could not be a burden.
However, in the current situation, they could no longer hide behind the back. Instead, they should play their role.
Zhang Yu looked at her and then at the high-spirited Wei Family Army's troop leaders behind her. He nodded and said, "General Wei and Daoist Zuo, I will leave this matter to you."
Wei Lingying's spirits were lifted. She cupped her fists and said, "Yes!"
Daoist Zuo also bowed to him.
The two of them retreated to discuss for a while. Then, they led everyone out of the main cabin. After a short while, the Wei Family Army's troops flew out of the white boat and headed in the other three directions.
After Daoist Zuo left the white boat, he did not enter the array easily. Instead, he went along the edge of the array and flew straight to the northernmost point of the array.
After a while, he reached the array's position and charged in without hesitation.
However, as soon as he entered the array, he felt a warning in his heart. He immediately dodged to the side and saw a light ring fly past him.
He waved his horsetail whisk. The silver threads on the whisk expanded and wrapped around him from head to toe. In the next moment, countless fine golden lights fell like raindrops. When they collided with the silver threads, sparks burst out continuously.
His conveyance light did not stop, and his speed did not decrease at all as he flew forward. When there was no more movement around him, he looked back and saw five Dao pawns following closely behind him. One of them had a lively gaze, and there was a golden ring around him. He was not as rigid as the other Dao pawns.
He guessed that this was probably a top-notch Dao Pawn who still maintained the remarkable Dao skills he had when he was alive. He sighed to himself, "This is going to be troublesome."
At this moment, Zhang Yu continued to steer the white boat from the south to the north. The moment he entered the array, he suddenly felt the surrounding atmosphere become extremely oppressive.
It was as if he had barged into an independent world. All the sounds from the outside were cut off.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light in front of him. A bolt of lightning struck from the sky and landed on the white boat. In an instant, the entire boat was covered in lightning.
Zhang Yu was not moved at all. This flying boat was jointly built by all the true cultivators who were good at refining weapons in the Qingyang Upper Continent. It even used the precious materials that the Spirit Mystic Realm had accumulated over hundreds of years. His biggest request at that time was for it to be sturdy. This little bit of lightning and thunderbolts could not shake it.
However, as the lightning flashed, a cylindrical light screen appeared in front of him. Inside it, there was a tall pillar. One could see the figure of a Daoist with fluttering robes on it.
