Chapter 146 - Order of Three Forces

The army stirred, stirring up endless sand and dust.

The thirty thousand strong elite soldiers had arrived. At the moment, they were retracting their encirclement, entering the formation and changing their direction, preparing to leave in an orderly manner.

They were truly worthy of being called the Pingxi Army. Even though they knew that the Scorpion Beast Tsunami was only thirty miles away, they still retreated in an orderly manner and with majestic and vigorous military discipline. If someone who didn't know anything saw this, they wouldn't have thought that they were retreating. They would have thought that they were marching to meet the enemy.

In front of the main commander's tent.

Wei Sanye walked out of the door, seeing that the army had started to retreat in an orderly fashion, he sighed lightly, ”I never thought that the little demon beast from before would have already brought about today's great disaster. Who knows how many civilians will suffer! ”

Yang Xiao stood respectfully behind him, gritted his teeth and said: ”Wei Sanye, should we directly return to the provincial marquis' residence, or should we find a safe place to stay first, and ask for reinforcements?”

The Wei Sanye said: ”Retreat to Peixian, one hundred fifty kilometers away, and move into Peixian. I'll report it to the duke, and ask the duke to decide. ”

When Wang Jiuling, who was behind him heard this, his entire body once again fell into the ice cellar.

Peixian was far away from the County Governor Manor, and it was also heading in the opposite direction from where the Scorpion Beast Tsunami was marching. The Pingxi Army retreated to Peixian. This meant that the great doors of the Chao Yang County's Governor Manor would open to face the onslaught of scorpions and beasts.

Yang Xiao said: ”Please get on the carriage Wei Sanye, we should leave.”

Wei Sanye nodded his head and was about to board the carriage.

At this time, a scout quickly rushed in and reported loudly: ”Reporting in! There was a carriage coming from the opposite direction! When we persuaded the carriage to leave, it refused to heed our advice and insisted on going against the current and rushing over. ”

Wei Sanye frowned: ”Carriage? ”What kind of carriage?”

The scout said: ”It has the picture of a thousand swords, it's the carriage of the Thousand Swords Sect. There's still someone inside, tell me to bring a message to Wei Sanye! ”

Wei Sanye slightly asked: ”What did he say?”

To dare to have a spy deliver a message to the Wei Sanye, this was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

He didn't dare to do it either.

But a sect like the Thousand Swords Sect. Still.

Wei Sanye also felt the seriousness of the situation and asked.

The scout said: ”There is a person called Xiao Yu who has asked me to pass this message to Wei Sanye — — You cannot retreat!”

Xiao Yu!

To get someone to bring a message to Wei Sanye?

There were four words — retreat, no retreat!

When Yang Xiao, Wang Jiuling, Wang Qianlin and the rest heard this, they were all extremely shocked.

What a tone.

Wang Qianlin stood out at this moment, thinking that a chance to please the Wei Sanye had come, and immediately reprimanded him, ”Xiao Yu is just a martial artist, a man who isn't much. How could they order the Wei Sanye not to retreat? How will this make Wei Sanye lose face? ”

Yang Xiao glared at Wang Qianlin, his ice-cold gaze filled with immense pressure.

Wang Qianlin suddenly realized that he couldn't continue speaking and immediately took half a step back, standing at the side without saying a word.

Wei Sanye raised his head to look in front of him and saw the sand and dust rolling towards him. ”Looks like this wave of scorpions and beasts is already five kilometers away. If he didn't withdraw now, it would be too late. Did Xiao Yu say anything else? ”

The scout shook his head, indicating no.

Wei Sanye thought for a moment, then said: ”Since Young Master Xiao has sent a message, then we shall not withdraw for the time being. Send orders to the three armies to form a formation and prepare to meet the enemy. Wang Jiuling, get all of your soldiers to return and prepare to meet the enemy! ”

Wang Jiuling and Wang Qianlin were immediately stunned!

He felt his blood run cold!

Just because Xiao Yu had said that they could not retreat. And then, Wei Sanye agreed? He really ordered the three armies to fight against the tens of thousands of scorpions and beasts!

This was a tide of scorpions and beasts!

There was no way to fight against an army of tens of thousands at all. It was most likely a complete wipeout. But Wei Sanye still listened to Xiao Yu's words without hesitation.

Xiao Yu's prestige and might had already reached such a level?

A single command for the three armies?

How could this not make Wang Jiuling and the others tremble in fear?

Yang Xiao said, ”What are you waiting for, hurry up and arrange it!”

Only then did Wang Jiuling recover his wits, and let Wang Qianlin arrange the military formation.

Soon, the twenty thousand soldiers of the Western Region, the five thousand Fire Qi Lin guards, and the twenty thousand guards all turned around and lined up in a straight formation, ready to attack. He quietly waited for the wave of scorpions and beasts to arrive.

The fifty thousand strong army stood on guard.

The morale was grand, the blood energy was high, and the killing intent was dense. Sabres and spears were in hand.

A great battle was about to begin.

In front of him, sand and dust rolled over.

”Boom, boom, boom ~”

The ground shook, and sounds of conversation filled the air. The wave of scorpions and beasts five kilometers away crossed a hill and transformed into a black cloud, sweeping towards them in a grandiose manner.

Such a scene.

This caused these battle-hardened warriors to feel their hair stand on end, their bodies trembling in fear, and their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

Wei Sanye, together with Yang Xiao, Wang Jiuling and the rest stood at the front of the army, quietly waiting for the beast tide to arrive.

Everyone had an ugly expression on their faces.

Cold sweat rolled down his face.

Wang Qianlin said: ”It can't be that Xiao Yu is just sending word and he himself isn't coming, he's sending us to our deaths, right?”

Wang Tian said: ”If that's the case, then Xiao Yu is too vicious, full of evil!”

”The scorpion tide is only eight miles away from us. I think Xiao Yu probably won't dare to come anymore, so he hid himself and hid like a turtle.”

Wang Ting said, ”This kid is really vicious.” Wei Sanye, you shouldn't have trusted him. He is a scoundrel! ”

”…”

Just as everyone was discussing and berating Xiao Yu …

A carriage passed the military formation and sped towards them.

Over ten top tier swordsmen from the Thousand Swords Sect, carrying long swords on their backs, mounted on beasts and rushing over.

After a while, the carriage stopped beside Wei Sanye and the rest.

There were more than ten swordsmen on top of the beasts, all lined up on either side.
