Chapter 520: Surprise attack! Cai’er’s crisis (I)
His grandfather’s remark lifted Long Haochen’s mood momentarily. He didn’t try to conceal his current feelings and nodded strongly in response.
Long Tiangying gave a light sigh, “You youngsters really had a hard time. If not for the demons, your grandpa would be in favor of your wedding. Treat her well, old Sheng Yue really doesn’t have a good temper.”
In terms of seniority in their own Temple, Sheng Yue actually rated higher than Long Tianying. But in terms of cultivation, Long Tianying was definitely stronger in addition to possessing a Divine Throne.
Long Haochen nodded repeatedly, “Grandpa, can I depart right now?!”
Long Tianying unhappily replied, “You cannot. Wanting to see your wife is one thing, but don’t you want to keep your grandfather company a bit longer? Until you depart tomorrow, just stay with me.”
At this reply, Long Haochen’s surging feelings calmed down gradually, “Grandpa, I...”
Long Tianying waved his hands to him, “I understand. At your own age, who knows how much more rebellious than you I was. You are already doing very well, but keep in mind that I really care about your safety. You are my one and only grandson. You have to take good care of yourself; not only for the Alliance but also for me. If the Alliance loses you, it will be the loss of a great talent, but if I lose you, it will be the loss of my precious kin. Do you understand?”
Long Haochen remained silent, and slowly approached him, giving Long Tianying a very big hug.
Long Tianying had a smile on his face. After so many years, it was the first time he showed such a sincere smile. He finally realized now that he really had a grandson of his own.
Precisely as Long Tianying expected it, after the sun rose, the demons didn’t launch an attack. But the demon camp was greatly busy, transferring the heavily wounded troops from the Demon Emperor Legions while helping the dying and healing the injured.
But of course, those three forbidden spells weren’t totally devoid of benefits for them. At least, the non-carbonized corpses were treated as food, and their armies were served a good meal, with the Demon Emperor Legions as the special ingredient…
Because of Saminaga’s serious injuries, he immediately entered seclusion inside his demon god pillar, and the authority over the demon armies returned to Valefor.
But at this time, Valefor didn’t dare keep applying pressure to the Fiends, and the reason why he didn’t immediately give the order to attack was because they had obtained a sufficient amount of food, and more importantly because of the current state of weakness of the Fiends.
Saminaga transferred all the deep strength of all his clansmen to launch a terrible strike and put them in an extremely weak state. And in fact, the air force of the demon armies was almost exclusively formed of Fiends. Under such circumstances, how could they launch the attack against the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass?
Through this battle against Long Tianying and Long Haochen, Valefor fully recognized the powerful assets the humans had, and therefore didn’t dare act rashly. At least, they needed a time of rest and reorganization.
One day later, at sunset, two figures came out soundlessly from the Dragon Resisting Mountain, making sure of their direction. Then, they headed southward under the raging wind and snow.
Neither Saminaga nor Valefor knew about it, but the Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple who brought them countless ‘surprises’ was already gone. At this time, the Dragon Resisting Mountain had Long Tianying as the only Divine Knight present to take watch.
Of course, the Knight Temple’s real trump card was not Long Haochen! Since Long Tianying dared keep the current troop arrangement against the demon armies, he naturally had ability of his own.
Exiting the Knight Temple, Long Haochen and Han Yu were in high spirits since they were finally able to reunite with the others. Long Haochen understood that although on the surface, his grandfather was assigning him a mission, in actual fact, given that Long Tianying didn’t even check his current amount of contribution points, Tianying had no way to know in the end whether he would really obtain a million contribution points at each defensive fort.
Therefore, after departing from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, it could be said they just have to reunite with all their comrades.
Everyone was separated for a year and a half already, and his longing for reuniting with them already surpassed everything else by far. Moreover, the first one they were proceeding to was the Exorcist Mountain Pass occupied by the Assassin Temple, the place where Cai’er was!
