C75 (1/2)
She stood solemnly on the hillside, her cape flapping in the wind. Xiu'er felt a drop of perspiration dripping from her forehead to the ground. The weather was very hot and her heart was very hot as well.
The Demonic King Valley was right before his eyes. After passing the Demonic King Valley, he would be entering the three stages of the Phoenix. At that time, they would have to face an army of hundreds of thousands of Moqiu State. Lord Messenger of God's order could still be considered useful within the Moqiu State, but it was still useful within the Moqiu Army Battalion that was already filled with killing intent, so no one dared to be sure. Even if they could pass through the formation, they would still have to face the siege of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Furthermore, up until now, the Xiu'er still had not figured out how she should face these two countries. One was her country of birth, and the other was related to him by blood.
The divine beast, Taotieh, had told her before that there was no need to intentionally do it. After all, she did not want to inherit the blood of the Qiong Qi, so Moqiu State and Taotieh would definitely not ask her to do something she did not want to do. But the more it was like this, the more Xiu'er didn't know how to choose. She would rather the Taotieh come up with a condition that she was simply incapable of, and then, she would have an excuse and a reason to shirk it.
Saying it out loud should also be considered a form of escape. But she could not avoid the things that were happening in front of her. Hundreds of brothers from Red Camp, hundreds of brothers from …
During the previous military meeting, the Xiu'er made the decision to divide the troops. strong man and Fat Cui took their battalion and followed it back to the location of the Wulian Border Army. They were more familiar with the terrain inside the Moqiu State and could be considered to have the same origin as the Wulian Border Army. Furthermore, the Xiu'er had already explained it to the two of them. If there really was a conflict, they had to bear with it and think of a way to contact the Lord Messenger of God as soon as possible.
Xiu'er, together with Chen Chu, led the Red Camp Knight to forcefully break through the Moqiu Army Array.
No one had any objections to these two decisions. The Fat Cui was originally a person of Moqiu State, so even if he were to follow them to the Fire Phoenix Empire, what could he do? What kind of treatment would he receive? This was completely unknown. It would be better to go to the Wulian Border Army and stay there. There, there, there, there would not be any direct confrontation between the Moqiu State and the Wulian Border Army, so it would be easier to get along with each other. As for the Red Camp warriors, although they numbered a few, their movements were even more nimble and their individual military capability s were even stronger. Without the burden of the first battalion infantrymen, they could actually unleash an even greater power. And there was an even more important reason, and that was their home after Phoenix City Pass. Chen Chu said that this was an invincible reason that could turn three hundred Red Camp Knight into three thousand Knights.
After the few of them reached an agreement, they first sent strong man and the Fat Cui off with their first set of battalion. Looking at their figures disappearing into the mountains, Qu Feizhi ordered the guards to blow the gathering signal. The Red Camp warriors all walked out of the tents one by one. Everyone understood that they were going to face an unprecedented battle!
From the moment they entered the Demonic King Valley, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi had taken turns to be the vanguards. This was also the plan they had previously agreed on. They would not suffer under the orders of an outsider, so before they could clearly know the attitude of the Moqiu Army in front of them, they had to ensure that their whereabouts were kept a secret.
Apart from this, their speed was also extremely fast. Usually, when the caravan had to travel for four whole days, the knights of the Red Camp had only used three days to rush out. And this was in order to take care of the speed of the war horses, so they rested at the entrance of the valley for a whole half a day. But when they really rushed out of the Demonic King Valley and arrived at the borders of the three Phoenix trials, no matter if it was an ordinary Knight or Chen Chu who had seen the world, both were shocked speechless.
The ten Second Tiger King s of Moqiu State, depending on the size and strength of the feudal fiefdom, had a different number of troops each. But even those who were ranked lower than the Ninth Tiger King s or the Tenth Tiger King s could easily summon out fifty thousand troops from the feudal fiefdom, let alone the top five Tiger King s of the ranking board, which could be counted in the top hundred thousand soldiers of each family. Although there was also the tradition of nomadic men being good at fighting, it was still inseparable from the long-term accumulation of war materials by the Tiger King.
This time, the combined attack of the Ninth Tiger King had created a total of sixty to seventy thousand strong army. Adding on the people who were accompanying the army in transporting the food, the total was no less than two million! At this point, there was no way to describe the number of people in front of them. It could be said that this was an extremely bustling town with no end in sight.
The empty Liehyang Pass and Blue Moon Pass were used as grain storage, and the tent between the two stages was filled with a large number of tents, most of these tents were for people to live in, between the tents was a rope, and on it were clothes that had just been washed. The peasants gathered together to play cards, smoke cigarettes, and chat, enjoying the afternoon sunshine as if they were at home. In another corner, several hundred large pots were placed in a row. Hundreds of chefs were unceasingly stir-frying. Beside them, there were at least several times more chefs busily washing and cooking dishes. Farther away, there were soldiers guarding the cooks. The common people ate the sky while the army was like this. As long as someone threw a handful of poison in, it would be very easy to kill off a few hundred soldiers in one go.
The whereabouts of Xiu'er and the rest were also exposed here.
”Who is it!?” ”Stop right there!” With a loud shout, a patrol of soldiers surrounded them.
There were only about a dozen soldiers in this group, but when they made such a ruckus, there were at least thousands of people surrounding them. They had been standing guard here for several months, facing cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses every day. They had not even seen a stranger before, so it would be strange if they did not come to take a look at such a lively place.
Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi looked at each other and laughed bitterly. This group of people was more than enough to watch. Moreover, they were almost in a town. Not to mention breaking through the enemy lines, it would be good if they could get out of this mansion.
