The empress did not tell Ziyun and Miaoyun about what happened in Yuncheng. After hearing what happened in Yuncheng, they were shocked.
"I didn't expect the fight to be so brutal. Fortunately, Long Chen rushed back in time. If he had come back late, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Ziyun was still frightened. If Long Chen arrived late, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yuncheng would die, or even be captured and turned into ghost soldiers.
The empress said: "My cultivation is not as good as that of the Martial Saint, so I still can't beat him."
Both Wu Sheng and Gui Nu were stronger than the Empress, and they couldn't beat them. The Empress was ashamed.
Miaoyin asked: "Did Long Chen stay in Yuncheng? Did Li Chengdao kill him?"
The empress said: "Long Chen is training troops in Yuncheng. After this incident, I feel it is necessary to train troops in Yuncheng."
"Li Chengdao is not dead, and this guy escaped again. He is so lucky that he can never be killed."
Master Ziyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a pity that I can always escape every time."
"Winter is coming soon and when the ghost soldiers invade in large numbers, Li Chengdao may have to help the tiger again and act as the vanguard general of the Martial Saint."
The empress sneered and said: "Li Chengdao wants face the most, but now he is willing to be the eagle dog of the Martial Saint. It is really ridiculous."
Li Chengdao rose to power by treason and valued his reputation most, but now he has become a lackey of the ghost clan, making the world laugh at him.
Miaoyin said: "I think he is used to being a dog."
"Winter is coming soon, and we need to prepare quickly."
The empress nodded and said: "Yuncheng has lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and I am stepping up training."
"However, in the battle of Yuncheng, the new weapons made by Long Chen are extremely powerful and can reduce the casualties of soldiers."
"Martial Saint was severely injured. The ghost girl is no match for Long Chen. The only variable is Li Chengdao."
"As long as Li Chengdao can be eliminated, this battle will be won. After the spring begins, we can consider counterattack."
The battle in Yuncheng was brutal, but it gave the empress confidence.
Judging from the situation of the battle, the ghost tribe is nothing more than this. The martial saint and the ghost girl are no longer afraid. This winter battle will definitely be won. The question is how many casualties they will pay.
Ziyun and Miaoyin were very happy that the empress had such confidence.
"Long Chen will find a way."
Miaoyin believed in Long Chen, and the empress said: "Yes, he will find a way."
...
ice fields.
Li Chengdao is training new soldiers.
Under his training, the new recruits grew up very quickly, and their coordination in the battle formation was very smooth.
Manzi looked on and admired Li Chengdao's ability in training soldiers.
In comparison, the ghost soldiers' barracks are much worse.
The demon spirit's skills in commanding soldiers are far inferior to Li Chengdao's. He can only ensure that the ghost soldiers' camp remains in order and that they can master basic battlefield commands, charge, and retreat.
In terms of battlefield orders, the ghost soldiers are far inferior to ordinary people.
Ordinary people, even if they have never served as soldiers, know that they must obey orders before and after the drums are heard, and before they hear the gold, they must obey orders.
The ghost soldiers usually fish and hunt in the ice fields and have no idea about this.
The demon spirit must start with the most basic battlefield discipline and let the ghost soldiers know that they must obey orders on the battlefield.
This process is the most difficult and the most basic.
Just like a soldier who has just joined the army, stand at attention, take a breath, look left, look right, and walk in unison.
These most basic movements train obedience and cooperation.
A maid came over and said to Li Chengdao: "General, your Majesty has a decree for you to see him."
Li Chengdao was already a general appointed by Wu Sheng, and this maid was the lowest servant, but the maid still had a sense of superiority towards Li Chengdao.
The maid is from the holy race, and Li Chengdao is from the lowly human race.
This is a kind of inner arrogance and contempt.
Li Chengdao ignored the maid's caring attitude and immediately turned around and walked towards the Ice Palace.
Those who have the ambition of a swan will not care about a sparrow.
The cold wind howled over the ice field, and snowflakes fell from the sky.
It doesn't snow very much here. The snowflakes are very big and quiet, falling slowly like falling flowers.
Walking to the entrance of the Ice Palace, Li Chengdao patted the snowflakes on his body and followed the maid into the Ice Palace.
Wu Sheng sat on an ice sculptured chair, and the ghost girl sat next to him.
After this period of rest, Wu Sheng's injuries improved a lot.
The fish in the ice field have miraculous effects in healing wounds, and Li Chengdao had to admire it.
"My servant Li Chengdao pays homage to the king, Your Majesty."
Li Chengdao knelt down and kowtowed very naturally, looking extremely respectful.
The ghost girl's expression was as usual and she didn't express anything special. Wu Sheng said calmly: "Get up and sit down."
Li Chengdao's heart moved slightly, Wu Sheng actually asked him to sit down.
From the moment he met the ghost fetus, Li Chengdao has been treated as a slave, like a dog, unworthy of being on an equal footing with the ghost fetus, and not even qualified to treat him with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
Wu Sheng actually let him sit down. Li Chengdao was very surprised and very happy.
Li Chengdao slowly raised his head and looked at Wu Sheng doubtfully. He was worried that he had heard wrongly.
"Stop kneeling and sit down."
Wu Sheng pointed to the chair next to him, which was an ice sculpture chair.
Li Chengdao kowtowed again: "I don't dare."
He must be polite and show that he does not dare to sit down.
The ghost girl said calmly: "Forget it, let's just stand and talk."
Li Chengdao then kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Li Chengdao slowly got up and stood with his head bowed respectfully, waiting for the orders from the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl.
"I heard the recruit training was good. You did a good job."
Wu Sheng's voice was low and sounded a little out of breath.
Long Chen stabbed his ribs with a spear, and Wu Sheng's internal organs were seriously injured.
The superficial injuries have healed to some extent, but the severe internal injuries have not healed so quickly.
Li Chengdao heard about Wu Sheng's physical condition and secretly thought about it.
"I dare not take credit for things that are my job as a slave."
Li Chengdao saluted respectfully and was very obedient.
Wu Sheng looked a little pleased with Li Chengdao.
"Your ancestor Li Yuanba practiced Xuanwu Jue, and you also practice Xuanwu Jue. How is your current cultivation level?"
Wu Sheng started talking about business, and Li Chengdao thought to himself: How should I answer?
His cultivation level has reached its peak, and he has mastered the highest secret skill of Xuanwu Jue, Devouring.
Not many people know about this matter.
Only Long Chen was alive, and the others were devoured by Li Chengdao.
Gui Fei, Qin Hao, wild wolves, and even the evil men of the Lu Kingdom, everyone they saw were devoured by Li Chengdao.
Therefore, neither Wu Sheng nor Ghost Girl knew about it.
"Ashamed, my servant's qualifications are mediocre. Although the Xuanwu Jue has been practiced to the highest level, it is far inferior to the Long Family's Mental Technique and the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Jue."
Li Chengdao pretended to be stupid and deliberately pretended not to know that the highest secret skill of Xuanwu Jue is swallowing, thinking that he had reached the highest level of cultivation.
Wu Sheng shook his head slightly and said: "No, you have not cultivated to the highest level of Xuanwu Jue. If Xuanwu Jue was cultivated to the highest level, it should surpass the Long Family's Mental Technique and Hundred Birds Chasing Phoenix Jue."
"The highest secret skill of Xuanwu Jue is Devouring. It can suck the essence and blood of others. This secret skill is very powerful and very difficult to practice."
"Your ancestor Li Yuanba tried his best to make it, but he couldn't make it."
Li Chengdao pretended to be surprised and raised his head, looked at Wu Sheng, and asked: "Swallow? There is such a secret skill in Xuanwu Jue? Why don't you know this?"
The ghost girl sneered and said: "There are many things you don't know. Swallowing is only one of the two secret techniques of Xuanwu Jue, and there is another even more powerful secret technique."
Li Chengdao was shocked. Swallowing was just one of the secret techniques of Xuanwu Jue. The implication was that there was another secret technique that was as terrifying as swallowing. What was that?
"Please tell me, Your Majesty, what is the other secret skill?"
Li Chengdao was really excited. He wanted to know what the other secret skill was?
