319 Chapter 319 Turning the Tables (1/2)

With a thought rising, Chai Yuan instantly made his mind up. Suman who was standing beside him had eyes filled with rage, getting off the horse and half kneeling, ”Duke, please give the order. With our army's current situation we can only fight with our backs facing the wall! Even if Suman dies here, I will take the enemy down with me!”

”Good!”

Chai Yuan laughed out loud, filled with solemn and stirring energy.

In the next moment, he was startled. He saw the situation under the mountain had changed.

Yue Linghuan who was wearing silver armor, originally sitting arrogantly on the horse, had suddenly turned ashen white. His face looked like it was filled with fear and terror.

That fear was spreading swiftly. In just a short moment, the tens of silver armored soldiers along with the ten thousand heavy armored Guards had suddenly become chaotic. They won't as committed and iron-like before.

Even that huge flag with all the words was put away.

15 minutes later, the 200 thousand soldiers retreated. They went back into the camp. Before they had high morale, filled with disdain towards Gantian Mountain Side, but now they were retreating in a really bad looking manner.

They even didn't stop to bother about those 50 thousand empty-handed Subordinate city soldiers.

Moreover, they didn't seem to have the intention to continue to defend the camp. The retreated directly like they were afraid that their speed was too slow. They forcefully abandoned many of their heavy equipment.

”What is happening?”

Chai Yuan was at a total loss, his chest was still filled with rage. However, he didn't understand what was happening with Yue Linghuan.

Were they tempting the enemy to strike? There didn't seem to be such a need. Something changed in the backline. How was that possible?

Taoyun City was west of the Cloud Continent, on an island that spread 250 miles. Tens of years of battles let them occupy 4 provinces of the land close to the shore. The enemy that was connected to them was only Yunxia and Gantian Mountains.

After allying with Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain, they didn't have any more of such worries.

”Did Yunxia City and Blazing Flame City break the alliance?”

Suman was also feeling weird. However the moment he said that he shook his head. If the 2 cities wanted to backstab their ally, they wouldn't have waited for when the 3 fleets were still beneath the cloud ocean when they were all hunting together.

He turned behind only to see that the Jiefu City and other city's 200 thousand troops that had just arrived were also retreating. However, compared to Taoyun City, they were in more panic. After several miles, they split up into groups and crazily dashed into the distance like they wished they could grow more legs to run faster. There were even cases of armies fighting for paths at some narrow points, even stepping and trampling over one another.

Suman was feeling even more curious. He knew that something had occurred and it had to be a hugely influential matter.

Who knows what had happened to cause Yue Linghuan and Jiefu and Fushuang City to be so terrified?

Gantian Mountain's darkness guard system was built up by Zong Weiran and was known for being quick with obtaining news. Why were they so inefficient this time? Even people from Jiefu City found out, and they were still kept in the dark.

Chai Yuan looked at his hands at a loss, thinking about when did him cultivate his killing energy to such a level?

Just as his fighting spirit rose up, those people were immediately forced to retreat. Although he was known as a famous general, it wasn't to the extent where it made one feel despair and fear?

At this moment he wanted to chase but he worried there was a scheme going on. Just as he had a thousand thoughts but no answers, a bright light flew across through the air.

”A Flying message talisman?”

Chai Yuan looked out, only to see that it was indeed a talisman in the air. He was startled. When did their Gantian Mountain become so rich?

They weren't using the cheap and reusable red Swift bird but the several times faster and more expensive flying message talisman?

He felt weird in his heart. He eagerly grabbed it with his hand, grasping using his true qi and catching the talisman.

His expression was really interesting, from total joy to a little disbelief.

Suman was getting more and more impatient from the wait, asking eagerly, ”duke what happened at Gantian Mountain to use the flying message talisman to send news?”

Only then did Chai Yuan's expression return to normal. His hand was still trembling as he passed the message to Suman.

”It's news from Zong Gang. He said that he had heard the news that a few days ago the ruler found a beast tomb under the cloud ocean. He used 800 energy destroying crossbows, from tens of miles out, with the help of a beast wave, to cause the 4 thousand cloud ships from the 3 cities to nearly be fully wiped out. Only a hundred-odd of them returned. It was said that Lingyun Sect disciples were there. Not only was the ruler not to blame but he had also returned with his bags full after destroying the beast wave...”
