”Infanta.”

The Fire Carp Army General Gangso suddenly raised his sword and walked up, saying furiously, ”The Saint Ruler gave us the job of defending Heaven Water Pass. How can you abandon it just like that?”

Clear Black Eyes looked towards Gangso and said flatly, ”It has already been lost so how can you say we abandoned it? If it wasn't for your man being too careless, how would we lose control of Heaven Water Pass? Retreat immediately, I will take responsibility for everything!”

”Yes, okay...”

...

I looked on as the Fire Carp Army and [Beautiful Life] retreated into the darkness before asking, ”Who is Clear Black Eyes, why did that NPC call her infanta?”

Yue Qing Qian replied, ”That is because in India Region her contribution points are the highest so that Purple Flame Saint Ruler rewarded her with an infanta position. Her status is basically the same as yours but the only difference is that the Tian Ling City Emperor targets you. In Flaming Cloud City, she is the most trusted by Purple Flame Saint Ruler and he pretty much listens to everything she says.”

Li Mu smiled, ”This is the difference. In certain aspects, Purple Flame Saint Ruler can really be called Saint Ruler. He is much better than Owen who sees the throne as the most important matter.”

I smiled, ”However, no one wants Owen and the Purple Flame Saint Ruler.”

Li Mu rubbed his nose, ”Your sister...”

Li Meng Yao's eyes opened wide, ”What do you want to do?”

Li Mu was speechless, ”...”

Xiao Lie seemed to understand what we were saying. He held his blood stained spear and laughed, ”General, I think what this adventurer is saying makes sense. Purple Flame Saint Ruler in some areas is indeed wiser than Emperor Owen. What is the point of us defending Tian Ling City like this? Just for cowardice and selfishness?”

I reached out with my hand to touch the cold ruins of the city wall and said, ”No matter whether Owen is useless or wise, Tian Ling City is still our home where we have a foothold. Let's just treat it as us fighting for Tian Ling City, moreover... Tian Ling City also has Princess Pearl, so she would be much better than Owen?”

Xiao Lie smiled, ”Oh, then let's just treat it as us fighting for Tian Ling City and Pearl!”

”Let's stop talking about all this. Go call the cavalry back and stop chasing. Leave a thousand people to defend Heaven Water Pass and we will go sneak attack Fire Elephant City territory!”

”Yes, sir!”

...

Since Clear Black Eyes knew that we had already taken down Heaven Water Pass, she will definitely inform the Indian Players to come and take it back. We will definitely be unable to protect it. Ever since we entered, we were already prepared to die. If the China Region players couldn't take down Fire Elephant City, we are most probably done for.”

”Let's go!”

At godspeed I rode on the God Dragon Horse and stepped out of the pass. I brought along a bunch of Royal Army and [Zhan Long] players, around thirty thousand of them. A large portion of them were from the ten thousand who were led by Lin Wan Er and acted as a supply team at the back. I led twenty thousand cavalry to move forwards swiftly. From the Heaven Water Pass battle, Lin Wan Er's intelligence far exceeded my expectations. She could smartly grasp the chance which was something that Yue Qing Qian, Dong Cheng Yue, and Mocha didn't even notice. With such a deputy guild leader protecting the backlines our twenty thousand cavalry didn't need to worry about being sneak attacked.

It was still night time in the game. Roughly one more hour and it would become bright. The east already had a bit of light and the star light was now much dimmer. The twenty thousand iron cavalry rushed all the way and not long later a dense pass appeared.

Roughly two thousand NPCs were defending it. This made me think about the treatment Drunken Spear got in the Xia Yu Army, however these guards were from the third army of Flaming Cloud City - the Wind Searching Army. A general who held a long blade hollered loudly, ”Who is it?”

Xiao Lie was very bold, raising his spear and heading up, using the cover of darkness as he said, ”I am Fire Carp Army Major Ming Ying. Who are you, and why did you set up a pass here?”

That guard was shocked, ”Did the Fire Carp Army have a major called Ming Ying?”

”I am a major that Gangso recently promoted. Who are you, and what is your reason for blocking my way? Are you a spy from the Tian Ling Empire? Answer me now!”

Tha guard was after all just a lieutenant and he was totally stunned, ”I am Wing Searching Army Lieutenant Ying Gan. Why did General come over? Isn't the Fire Carp Army defending Heaven Water Pass?”

Xiao Lie hollered, ”Fire Elephant City is in trouble. The attacks from Tian Ling City is too fierce so the general asked me to lead ten thousand iron cavalry to help defend. Immediately let us pass!”

”Yes, but I will need you to show your identification!”

”Okay, you can come and take it.”
