For high-level cultivators, time has become a relatively insignificant concept because of their long lifespan. More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The entire mountain range is still quiet, and Ye Feng still has no idea.
Signs of exit.
In fact, half a month ago, Ye Feng had already stopped practicing in seclusion once. That was because he had fully understood the Tianshui Divine Thorn and practiced it to the level of proficiency.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, Ye Feng would really have tried the power of this Tianshui Divine Thorn technique!
Then he chose to retreat again, and then he practiced the sixth sacred bridge to the state of Dzogchen. However, Ye Feng knew that the current situation was already very serious, and time probably did not allow it.
Although more than a month has passed and the Tianshui Empire has threatened to join the war, the Tianshui Empire's 300,000 troops are still being raised and have not yet rushed to the main city fortress of Aqiu.
However, the Demon Moon Empire, the Huomiao Empire, and the Thunder Empire probably wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Sand Dune Empire in one fell swoop, or because the Tianshui Empire agreed to send troops, each empire actually sent an additional 100,000 troops.
In this way, in the entire Aqiu main city fortress battlefield, the Demon Horn Clan has an additional 300,000 troops, and at the same time, there are a lot more high-end emperor combat forces. Even if the Dune Empire has a large fortress formation to defend it,
And keep it, but it is still choked.
Fortunately, the Libarbarian Sand Dune Empire has already issued a mercenary edict, and has recruited hundreds of thousands of local troops from various places. In addition, many casual cultivators have also been coming, which temporarily relieved Aqiu.
There is a lot of pressure on the main city and fortress.
But what is conceivable is that once the 300,000 troops of the Tianshui Empire are involved, the Aqiu main city fortress will definitely not be able to withstand it, unless something unexpected happens!
Now the entire Aqiu main city fortress is in a tense and depressing atmosphere, because the Demon Horn tribe has assembled and integrated its army and is preparing to launch a full-scale attack.
This time, they will definitely go out in full force to cross the border, reach the main fortress of Aqiu, and then attack the fortress like crazy!
In the fortress camp, a general said: "General, the all-out decisive battle has begun, and my subordinates feel that it is time to recall the 100,000 troops originally sent out for support."
"Yes, these 100,000 troops are now scattered in various small cities around the main fortress of Aqiu. Now that the decisive battle has begun, they should be ordered to come back for rescue, especially the 5,000 relatives commanded by the human Ye Feng.
Guards, it is said that these 5,000 guardsmen are quite brave in combat, they must be brought back to defend the main city fortress!" Another general also said.
Commander-in-Chief Nikostev turned to look at the eldest prince Buglin and said: "Your Highness, the human Ye Feng and the five thousand personal guards are your subordinates. It is up to you to summon them and lead them back to the Lord immediately.
Come to the city."
The eldest prince, Buglin, cupped his hands and said: "The words of the great general are wrong. Now that you are the supreme commander, it is naturally impossible for me to issue orders for you. Otherwise, many generals may not obey them. Therefore, it is better for you, the commander-in-chief, to issue orders yourself."
"
In fact, the eldest prince Buglin made it clear that he did not want Ye Feng to come back, at least for the time being, so he shied away. Moreover, he also knew that if he did not personally deliver the order, no matter how General Nikostev summoned him, Ye Feng would not be allowed to come back.
It is impossible for Feng and the Independent Regiment of the Guards to come back.
Nikostev was so angry that his teeth ached. If he had known this, he should not have agreed to that damn human race Ye Feng's unit to become an independent regiment. In this case, naturally it would not have created such a complicated situation today, which made the Tianshui Empire
This Eastern country has also participated.
An old general suddenly said: "By the way, Your Highness the Great Prince, you issued an employment order a month ago, and there are many emperors from various places coming, but why are there no eighth- and ninth-level emperors coming to help?
"
"Yes, I also feel strange about this matter. Logically speaking, His Highness the First Prince can use the great world behind him as a qualification bargaining chip. Some ninth-level emperors who are casual cultivators should be tempted, but why are they all here?
They are all below the eighth level, and there is not even an eighth-level emperor."
The eldest prince Buglin shrugged and said: "If you ask me about this, I will ask who will go. Whether they come or not is not my decision. Maybe they don't like the resources and connections behind me?"
One sentence silenced the words of many generals present. Although many generals were dissatisfied, they did not dare to do anything to the eldest prince.
"Okay, let's discuss how to respond. The final all-out battle should begin within half a month!" Commander Nikostev said.
"General, I feel that with our current strength, if we defend the main fortress of Aqiu, there won't be much of a problem for the time being. Even if we lose, we should be able to withstand it. Just as you said before, General."
That said, as long as we can keep the main city fortress intact, it will be victory!"
"Judging from the current combat strength of both sides, there won't be much of a problem for the time being, but don't forget that there is another Tianshui Empire. Although the Tianshui Empire's 300,000 troops have not arrived at the front line so far,
It will definitely come sooner or later, can we still hold on when the time comes?"
Many generals present fell into silence. Obviously, no one had much confidence in this. After all, once the Tianshui Empire's 300,000 troops joined in, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides would be too great.
"The 300,000-strong army of Tianshui Empire has not yet arrived at the front line. Even now, there are only signs of departure, but the marching speed is very slow. According to my judgment, they should be hunting snipe and clam.
The idea of fighting for profit!"
"Yes, the Tianshui Empire has always been extremely cunning, and if something goes wrong, they will take advantage of the fact that we have recalled the hundreds of thousands of troops from many small cities, and take the opportunity to attack the small cities near us in retaliation for their previous floods.
Revenge for the destruction of the main city!"
"Yes, I didn't think of this just now, but judging from our current situation, even if the Tianshui Empire takes the opportunity to attack the small city on our border, we have nothing to do. It is impossible to send troops to assist. This is terrible
What should we do?”
Many generals present fell into helpless silence again.
Commander-in-Chief Nikostev turned to look at the eldest prince Buglin and said: "Your Highness, how should we respond in your opinion?"
The eldest prince Buglin shook his head and said: "As the generals present just said, the power gap between the two sides is too great. I don't have any good ideas. My suggestion is to abandon the medium-sized cities on the border and try to protect Aqiu.
The main city fortress, if this fortress is breached, it will most likely put our entire Dune Empire into a situation of being attacked from both sides."
After a pause, the eldest prince continued: "Because once it really reaches that point, the other two empires of the Liman tribe will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury and attack us. If not, we will be subjugated!"
Many generals present took a breath when they heard this. General Nikostev nodded and said: "Then according to what His Royal Highness the eldest prince said, abandon the small cities on the border and send an order to send out the ten people who were sent out before.
Bring Wan Dajun back!"
"Yes!" Many generals immediately accepted the order.
Besides, at this time, Ye Feng was still paying no attention to what was going on outside the window and was concentrating on practicing in seclusion. However, for the first time, a high-level meeting was held within the commanding camp in the valley below.
"Just now, a message has been sent back from Mingsha City, saying that in about half a month, a full-scale decisive battle will begin at the main fortress of Aqiu. The general sent an order for us to rush back immediately for rescue. Let's talk about it. Next, I will
What should we do?" said the deputy commander Chahara.
A Dutong said: "This matter is of great importance. I think we should wait until Lord Commander Ye comes out of seclusion before talking about it."
"But Commander Ye still hasn't shown any signs of coming out of isolation. If he still doesn't come out of isolation, do we have to keep waiting?" Another Dutong said.
"I think we should let Commander Xiao Chuanqiu contact Commander Ye and ask him to come out immediately and lead us to the rescue. The main fortress of Aqiu is the most important fortress on the border of our Dune Empire. This cannot be allowed.
He’s broken!”
"Yes, at this critical moment of life and death, the general has an order. If we don't dare to go back for rescue, if the main city fortress is broken by then, how can we feel at ease?" Several other governors also said.
Xiao Chuanqi, the commander of the four armies, was sitting next to him. When he heard this, he immediately said in a cold voice: "The Lord is at a critical moment of cultivation. You must not disturb him at this time. Unless he comes out on his own, no one can disturb him!"
"But... Commander Ruoye has not come out of seclusion, are we just going to wait like this? How can this be done?"
In any case, these deputy commanders are all powerful barbarians, and they are naturally extremely anxious and concerned about the survival of the main city fortress of Aqiu.
If it weren't for Ye Feng's strong combat power and leadership, everyone would probably have been tempted to lead his subordinates back to support him at this time.
Of course, although everyone is very anxious now, no one has acted rashly!
Ten days passed quickly, and there were still about five days left before the all-out decisive battle at the Aqiu main city fortress. The five thousand personal guards were no longer as calm and calm as before, and every one of them became agitated.
Several deputy commanders and the commander-in-chief had to convene another high-level meeting of the Guards, including Xiao Chuanqi, commander of the four major armies, and others.
"There are still five days left, and Commander Ye still hasn't come out of seclusion. Let's talk about it, what should we do?" Deputy Commander Chahara said.
"I think we shouldn't wait for Commander Ye, let's go back on our own. The general has issued three edicts in succession in the past few days. If we don't go back, once the fortress of Aqiu's main city is broken, we won't be able to do anything.
If you do well, you will become a sinner of the barbarian tribe!"
"Go back on your own? How can we do that? How can we act without authorization without the commander's order?" said a deputy commander.
"That's right. Without Commander Ye to lead us, even if we go back, we will be in disarray and cannot play a big role, let alone influence the situation of the battle. If you are not the legendary chief army commander, please send a summons to the commander to let him out."
The deputy commander Chahara turned to look at Xiao Chuanqi and said.
Xiao Chuanqi said in a deep voice: "No, I have already said that unless the lord comes out of seclusion on his own initiative, or His Highness the eldest prince sends a message, otherwise I will never send a message to disturb the lord, Chaha
Commander La, you must know this, didn’t the Lord tell you about it at that time?”
"The Commander-in-Chief has indeed given instructions in this regard, saying that we have to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince's order, but in the past few days, the Commander-in-Chief has issued three orders in succession!" Deputy Commander Chahara said.
When Sima Zhantian heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "What kind of general and commander is he? Let alone three orders. Even if he comes here in person, we are too lazy to bother him. Since the Lord said that he will wait for the general
His Highness the Prince’s order, then let’s just wait and see, why are you so noisy and anxious!”
"But..." Many of the lieutenants all looked like they were hesitating to speak, thinking in their hearts that the Demon Horn Clan is not attacking you, the human race in the human realm, so of course you are not in a hurry.
At this moment, Ye Feng's voice suddenly came from outside.
"There are still about five days before the all-out decisive battle. Look how anxious you are!" After saying that, Luo Yefeng slowly walked in with his hands behind his back.
To be honest, Ye Feng was very pleased. After these months of training and fighting together, even at this juncture, the deputy commanders and senior officials of the Guards were still just waiting, although they were anxious and restless.
Moreover, Ye Feng could also see that the five thousand personal guards also did not act rashly. Although these barbarian soldiers were extremely anxious, they still obeyed Ye Feng's orders.
And after nearly a month of retreat, Ye Feng finally mastered the last two steps of the sixth sacred bridge. The sixth sacred bridge has been completely completed. It is a pity that time is now very tight.
He failed to cultivate the piers of the seventh divine bridge.
However, now that he has completely controlled the tyrannical technique of Tianshui Divine Thorn, Ye Feng believes that his combat power is now no longer afraid of any ninth-level emperor. He is even confident of the weaker ninth-level emperor.
One hit to kill!
"Commander Ye, you are now out of seclusion, that's great!" Deputy Commander Chahara said with great happiness. Everyone present stood up one after another with extremely happy faces.
"Lord Commander, right now over at the Aqiu main city fortress..."
Before the lieutenant had finished speaking, Ye Feng immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "You don't need to say more. I already know everything about the situation in the main city of Aqiu."
"Since you already know it, sir, let's hurry up and send the order to set off." said a Dutong.
"Start? Where to go?" Ye Feng asked.
"Of course we are going back to the main fortress of Aqiu for rescue. After all, the general has issued orders three times!" said another deputy commander.
Ye Feng just smiled faintly after hearing this, and then slowly sat down on the commander's seat, and then said loudly: "We are not going anywhere, we are just staying here. Without the eldest prince personally giving orders, no one's orders are useless.
!”
"This..." Everyone present was dumbfounded when they heard this.
