Chapter 136: Too Ridiculous (1/2)
Regardless of the situation in Qingfeng City, Shiqi couldn’t care less, and they were still on their way to White Mountain City.
A day later, Meng Fei reported and said, “Lord Commander, if we continue to rush at this speed, tomorrow afternoon, we will almost make it to White Mountain City.”
“Let everyone take a rest!” Shiqi said as he glanced at the tired crowd.
Instead of spreading out, the army gathered together in units of a hundred to recover their lost true qi from the long journey.
In the afternoon, Meng Fei came to report that from the three teams sent to scout, one team did not come back to report.
Meng Fei asked in a somewhat nervous whisper, “My lord, we shouldn’t really be blocked by the Black Blood Kingdom’s army, right!”
“It’s possible, but of course we can’t rule out that they’ve encountered other dangers!” Even though he said so, Shiqi also knew that the possibility was slim to none.
The area around Qingfeng City and White Mountain City had never heard of powerful demonic beasts.
“Pause the march!”
The army of more than five thousand people soon came to a halt. Shiqi asked Meng Fei, “The missing team is responsible for that direction?”
Each team of scouts sent out would be specifically assigned to scout an area.
“It’s the left front!”
As soon as Meng Fei finished speaking, Shiqi received a warning from the Devil Sword that a large force was running towards them ahead.
Meng Fei asked, “Lord Commander, should we send more people to scout?”
Shiqi said helplessly, “No need, they’re already came out!”
A slight vibration began to appear on the ground, and there were experienced soldiers lying on the ground listening for a while, and their faces did not look too good.
“The Black Blood Kingdom’s army knows we’re going to pass through here?”
“They probably guessed it!” Luck was something that was equally important to the generals.
By preference, Shiqi’s luck, it seemed had never been very good.
“How about if we withdraw?”
The overall strength of the Purple Thorn Army and the Black Iron Army were comparable. So if the Purple Thorn Army tried desperately to run, the other side really wouldn’t be able to catch up.
Since the Black Iron Army dares to intercept halfway, they would definitely be ready to eat up their strength!
They were inherently at an absolute disadvantage! Retreating, of course, was the safest option.
“We can’t retreat!”
Meng Fei asked in surprise, “Behind us too?”
“Yes!”
To put it simply, Shiqi’s five thousand men were pinned down by the Black Iron Army!
The Crimson Blood Devil Sword’s “Devil Sword Induction” skill was powerful, but it had a distance limit. Once the distance between the enemy and Shiqi exceeded five hundred meters, the Devil Sword Induction skill would not be able to detect it.
Five hundred meters! For the soldiers of the Black Iron Army, it was not really long.
Meng Fei asked with some distress, “How do they know? We’re already careful enough!”
“Of course, their intelligence is great!”
Shiqi also had a headache, and he certainly knew the importance of intelligence on the battlefield. In this regard, the Black Blood Kingdom was undoubtedly doing much better than the Southern Cloud Country.
Meng Fei looked at the black-pressed mountains of the Black Iron Army in front and behind and said, “At least tens of thousands of people …… they should not have innate experts, right?”
Shiqi looked back, just in time to see a figure slowly rising from the black iron army that surrounded up from behind.
“Meng Fei, from now on, not allowed to say a word, or I first put you military justice!”
Today’s battle was inevitable. Shiqi raised the crimson blood-heavy sword and said, “Brothers, prepare for battle!”
