Long Tenghai's order almost caused an uproar in the entire army.

It is true that this is a rare victory and a decisive victory, but the price it pays is too huge. The army loses more than 70%, and only 40% of the remaining ones can fight. The most important thing is that the elite monks are basically unwilling to continue fighting. All factions have suffered huge losses in this battle. If they continue to fight, their income will be less than their efforts.

Now that the big victory is already in the pocket, who wants to continue to fight?

But Long Tenghai had been dealing with them for a long time and had a way to deal with it. He inspires his words to persuade the leaders of various sects to let them follow and not fight. Only then could he barely convince these monks to set off with the troops.

As for the other soldiers, although they were extremely tired, Long Tenghai's more than ten years of operation in the southeast had actually made him the uncrowned king of the southeast region, and his orders were more effective than the emperor.

Under the huge pressure, these soldiers had to temporarily bury the joy of resurrection and victory after the disaster, and endured their fear of the future and embarked on the journey again.

After marching thirty miles away, they arrived at Sunshine City, which were two castles on the plains corresponding to the original name of Nanyang. It was originally a huge barracks and could not see what it was like at this time.

Because it is close, the huge energy shock wave makes it look like a sand castle built on the beach. Most of it has been destroyed at this time, with broken walls everywhere, and some places are covered with dark red crystals. They are the wreckage left by the crystallization of some city walls and houses after the high temperature of the magic crystal shock wave ravaged.

The troops did not go to Sunshine City because of the uneven crystals, and some places even turned into stone forests, like a spike trap made by hunters, making it impossible to marches.

The location of the Gray Helmet Valley is 130 miles northwest of Sunshine City. The troops threw away all heavy equipment and even threw away their armor. They only carried weapons and light armor, dry food and clear water. With the help of monks, they marched quickly for a day and a night before they arrived.

When they arrived, the city gate of Gray Helmet Valley had already been planted with the five-clawed green dragon flag of Daqi. The flag could be seen flying from afar. The soldiers who were extremely tired for a while were greatly motivated.

Li Chengfeng saw a canyon in front of him, with continuous mountains on both sides, just like this plain suddenly being separated by a barrier, and a continuous mountain range rose from the ground. The more the mountains on both sides went, the narrower the terrain and the steeper the cliff, until the bottom was a gray castle fortress.

There are two huge stone statues standing on both sides of the castle. One of them wears a crown and holds a huge stone sword in the direction of them. The other stone statue holds books in one hand and a crystal-shaped stone in the other hand. It is obvious that this is the foundation of the Puppet Kingdom that has been shown to people.

And this is also the pass of the most important core hinterland of the Puppet Kingdom. As long as it occupies this place, it will choke the throat of the Puppet Kingdom.

Long Tenghai led his troops to come, and a general led by him immediately came up and briefly reported to Long Tenghai.

It turned out that the cavalry on one side of them were about to be submerged by the opponent's central army after rushing into the opponent's military formation. At this time, an extremely fierce and terrifying explosion suddenly broke out in the central basin. This explosion instantly caused the Grand Marshal of the Puppet Kingdom to abandon the soldiers and use the teleportation array to escape. The remaining soldiers were immediately shocked and their morale collapsed.

Seeing this, the cavalrymen didn't understand anything, so they immediately rode their horses towards the direction of Sunshine City. They tried hard to squeeze the last bit of horsepower of the war horse, and then they barely escaped from the sky. When they came to their senses, they found that they were already running to the vicinity of Gray Helmet Valley.

The general in charge was named Xu. Although he was frightened by this situation, he saw that the gate of the pass was wide open, the suspension bridge was lowered and he was not taken back. There was no one on the city tower. It was really strange and terrifying.

However, General Xu was also a man who was fighting an old war. This empty city plan could not scare him. He first sent several soldiers into the pass. After confirming that there were indeed no soldiers on the city wall, he immediately sent twenty soldiers into the fortress for further search. At the same time, he sent a messenger to turn around and inform the general Long Tenghai of the news. He himself led the remaining main cavalry forces to sweep around to see if there were any ambush and fish that were leaking the net.

When Long Tenghai arrived, General Xu had swept all the Gray Helmet Valley fortress, and no figures or ambush were found.

But even so, Long Tenghai still felt worried because the situation in front of him was too strange!

Why did the Puppet Kingdom give up such an important pass? Why is there no one here?

Is it because the marshal of the Puppet Kingdom was the first to escape, which led to a chain collapse, and then all the generals and soldiers guarding the fortress ran away?

Or is this a trap?

Instead of ordering to occupy Gray Helmet Valley as soon as possible, Long Tenghai ordered the soldiers to set up camps about five miles outside the fortress, and at the same time sent 100 elite monks and 1,000 soldiers into the fortress for a second carpet-style search to prevent the puppets from setting up any terrible mechanical puppets here.

But the more than a thousand soldiers and monks searched back and forth several times, and even the fortress gates, moats, trenches and the two stone statues that were dozens of meters high were checked inside and out, but they still gained nothing.

Long Tenghai was still worried. He chose to divide his troops into three, one of which was stationed in the fortress, and the other was arranged in the fortress towards the Puppet Kingdom, and the scout cavalry among them was even spread out for hundreds of miles; as for the last part of the troops, he placed them ten miles away from the fortress to Nanyangyuan, and his camp was also set up outside the fortress.

It’s nothing else, I was really scared by the final self-destruction of the puppets in the Puppets of the Puppets.

If the other party buried several mechanical puppets under this fortress and gave them a wave of self-destruction while they were sleeping, then everyone would ascend to heaven together, and alas.

Although I know this is basically impossible, I am afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of it if it is not!

Everyone knew what the general was thinking after all the troubles.

Even the general was so worried. What were the other soldiers thinking?

Who is not worried?

The soldiers placed on the outside were fine, but they dared to sleep at least at night. The soldiers arranged on the inside and in the fortress were really smiling, and their mothers were criticized in their hearts, whispering in their hearts, and greeting the general's relatives in a cordial and intensive manner.

"Senior brother, what medicine is sold in this puppet country gourd?"

On the fortress's city tower, Li Chengfeng, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing were patrolling at night. After the three of them patrolled for a few rounds, Han Tianxing couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Li Chengfeng glanced at Han Tianxing and shook his head and said, "How can I know? Don't force it. If you still have any injuries on your body, go back and rest early."

Han Tianxing smiled bitterly and said, "I am sitting on this fortress, like sitting in a crater. I don't know when it will suddenly erupt under my butt. How can I sleep?"

Zhao Xiaobao whispered: "Young Master, why don't we say hello to the general, we shouldn't be here..."

Li Chengfeng laughed and said, "How do you know where is the safe now? Is it the Grey Helmet Valley City under our feet, or the hinterland of the Puppet Kingdom inside, or the tent of the general outside?"

Han Tianxing's face changed and he said, "Senior Brother, what have you discovered?"

Li Chengfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only know that something abnormal will happen. The door of the Puppet Kingdom, which is a big open hinterland, is definitely not a good thing, no matter whether it is an empty city plan or not..."

Everyone knows that this empty city plan is not normal, and the puppet country must have a backup plan, but... what is this backup plan?

Under such circumstances, can the Puppet Kingdom still turn the tables?
