After Cheng Hui left the camp, he headed north alone. More than 300 people from Gan Xin and Mo Lin were also heading towards the Black Forest.
After discovering it, Cheng Hui immediately speeded up and reached the Black Forest first.
"It's me, Cheng Hui!"
Seeing someone coming out of the Black Forest, Cheng Hui immediately revealed his identity.
Gui Wei said in surprise: "The commander is back!" ??
The ghost soldiers gave a false alarm, thinking that Long Chen sent someone to attack.
"Hurry up and retreat immediately, the Long Family Army is coming!"
Cheng Hui ran forward and said.
Gui Wei was surprised and asked: "Why didn't you notice?"
The ghost soldiers around were startled. They just said it was okay, why are they here again?
"Your people have been killed, leave quickly!"
Cheng Hui didn't explain much, and Gui Wei immediately returned to the Black Forest, where the ghost soldiers were resting.
"Long Chen is here, hurry up!"
With a low shout, all the ghost soldiers jumped up and followed Cheng Hui and Gui Wei to retreat from the northwest.
south.
Gan Xin and Mo Lin took the lead and ducked into the Black Forest first, followed by Gan Zhen and the Rebellion Army.
After searching carefully, I found that there was no one in the forest. There was no ghost.
"What's going on? Are you leaving?"
Gan Xin fell down and took out the night pearl to check the traces on the ground.
Mo Lin said: "Not long after we left, we were discovered."
Gan Xin felt strange: "We obviously killed the ghost soldiers on the periphery, how come they were still discovered?"
Gan Zhen and Feng He rushed in and found that there were no ghost soldiers in the black forest. They were surprised and said: "No? It was empty?"
Gan Xing said: "It seems that we were discovered not long after we left."
Gan Zhen kicked the snow on the ground in annoyance: "What a pity, I thought it was a good start."
Feng He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just occupy the black forest."
Gan Zhen ordered the Nilin Army to search again and focus on defense in the west.
Cheng Hui led more than a hundred ghost soldiers from Gui Wei to evacuate the Black Forest. Looking back from a distance, a bonfire was lit in the Black Forest.
"It's really here." The ghost soldiers were in shock.
"Why is the commander back?"
Gui Wei felt lucky. If Cheng Hui had not notified them, they would have been surrounded and killed in the Black Forest.
"After Long Chen set out, I followed them all the way north."
Cheng Hui took off the bamboo hat on his head and threw it away.
"How are you prepared, Your Majesty?"
Gui Wei replied: "Ten thousand crossbowmen have arrived at the mountain pass barracks. The defense should be completed at this time. Three thousand powerful saint warriors are on top. As long as Long Chen dares to attack, he will definitely die!"
Cheng Hui raised his head and glanced at the peak that reached no top, and said, "Let's rest here tonight and climb over again after dawn."
More than a hundred ghost soldiers were hiding at the foot of the mountain, forming a circle and taking turns to guard.
The howling cold wind rushed out from the Storm Canyon. Others squinted their eyes to rest. Cheng Hui leaned on the stone and fell asleep.
After a night of silence, when the sky was just getting light, Cheng Hui opened his eyes and urged all the ghost soldiers to leave.
Glancing at the 10,000-meter-high mountain peak, Gui Wei cursed: "I have to climb up there every time. It's so damn exhausting."
Cheng Hui was afraid for more than a thousand meters and looked back to the southeast. Long Chen's army could already be seen.
"Didn't you say fifty thousand? How come there are hundreds of thousands?"
Gui Wei also saw the darkness, and there were at least 300,000 people there.
Cheng Hui said: "There are 50,000 elite soldiers and more than 300,000 logistics troops to transport supplies."
Gui Wei said with emotion: "When we followed the lord, we had an army of hundreds of thousands, but now things have changed."
Cheng Hui was silent in his heart, turned around and continued climbing.
South of the Black Forest.
The demon-slaying army led by Meng Yidao arrived first, and Gan Zhen greeted them in the south of the forest.
"Master Meng is a step too late."
Meng Yidao smiled and said: "I heard that you raided the Black Forest last night. What were your gains?"
Gan Zhen smiled and said: "Ashamed.
They all ran away and no one was caught."
Meng Yidao smiled and said: "Then you have the nerve to show off, but you get nothing."
Gan Zhen pointed at the Black Forest: "I occupied the Black Forest and took the first place."
Meng Yidao pointed at Gan Zhen and laughed: "Shameless, extremely shameless!"
The Long Family Army, Beida Camp, Nanliang Army, and barbarians arrived one after another. Feng He and Gan Zhen found Long Chen and reported what happened last night.
"It's normal. This is the territory of the ghost clan. It's nothing if you are discovered."
"Look at the other side of Storm Canyon. We are here. It's time for Li Chengdao to come out."
Feng He said: "They blocked the passage and probably won't come out."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Li Chengdao has controlled the ghost clan, and with two more masters around him, he will definitely come out to show off."
This is the human heart, if you lack something, you will like to show off.
Li Chengdao was defeated by Long Chen every time, and he was particularly eager to win once.
Now that he has successfully controlled the ghost clan, and two masters have appeared under him, he will definitely come out to show off and make noise.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
Feng He took the people and set off immediately.
The Black Forest is huge and can accommodate more than 300,000 people.
Long Chen ordered all the troops to enter the forest and camp, and the elite troops camped in the west to prevent the ghost soldiers from raiding.
The wind here is very strong, and the black forest can provide some protection. The trees can be used to build tents, and the branches can be used as firewood.
The army entered one after another, and the empress summoned the generals to discuss.
"The march went smoothly this time. We didn't encounter any ghost soldiers. What do you think about what to do next?"
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the empress sat at the head, Long Chen was on the left, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were on the right, Meng Yidao was next to Long Chen, and the others took their seats one by one.
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai didn't speak. The leader of the bandit they were dealing with this time was Li Chengdao. Their identities were a bit embarrassing.
"It's better if they come out, but it's more troublesome if they don't come out."
Wu Jian said.
Fighting outside is better than fighting in the ice field It is more advantageous to face a decisive battle. The interior of the ice sheet is cold and the environment is completely different from that of the Central Plains.
For the ghost soldiers, the ice field is their hometown, and they are used to the severe cold.
The army in the Central Plains is different, especially the Thunder Fire Camp. They are not half-ghosts, and they may not be able to withstand the severe cold after entering.
After Wu Jian finished speaking, the other generals remained silent.
"Don't say anything?"
The empress glanced at everyone.
Long Chen said: "Li Chengdao blocked the Storm Canyon. The first problem is how to enter the ice field. I will take people there first to check the situation."
"Besides, I think Li Chengdao will come out."
The empress asked: "Why?"
Long Chen said: "Storm Canyon is an excellent blocking terrain. Li Chengdao will definitely lead the defense. He just controlled the ghost tribe and got a master. I guess he will come out to show off."
The empress said: "In that case, I will go with you."
Long Chen did not refuse. It was not clear what the cultivation levels of Li Chengdao's two subordinates were. If they were really powerful, he would not be able to withstand them alone.
Meng Yidao said: "The last general asks to follow."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Uncle Wu, you guys stay here and be careful of sneak attacks. Sheng and I will go up and have a look at the situation."
Di Luoxi said: "I'll go too."
Emperor Lingyi stood up and said, "My son, please go with us."
The empress said: "General Wu will stay, and the other generals will go together. Let's all take a look at the situation."
Long Chen and the Empress came out of the tent, led dozens of generals, and the Rebel Army followed, heading towards Storm Canyon.
Top of Hera Pass.
When Cheng Hui and Gui Wei climbed halfway, they saw Li Chengdao and Yue Lang walking down with a group of ghost soldiers.
"General Cheng Hui pays homage to the Emperor."
"Meet your Majesty."
Cheng Hui bowed his head and saluted without looking directly at Li Chengdao.
"Long Chen has arrived?"
Li Chengdao looked down the mountain. It was too high and he couldn't see clearly what was going on down the mountain.
