Ever since Gui Qinshao assassinated Li Li, Ling Ao seemed to have become a different person.
Ling Ao before was like an unsheathed sword, arrogant and indifferent. Now he seemed to have been completely broken. His whole person had lost all his energy and remained silent all day long.
Moreover, after he served as the 30,000th Cavalry Commander of the Dragon Guard, everything did not go smoothly.
He couldn't command these proud and powerful generals at all. The officers of the 30,000 Cavalry Army completely put him on a high pedestal and did not give him any power.
Regarding this situation, Ling Ao was angry and furious at first, but after being tricked a few times, he was completely helpless.
After the incident of Gui Qinshao, Ling Ao became more like a portrait in the Long Guard Army.
In the past, as Zhili's attendant, he could always stay by Shaojun's side. But at this time, he almost didn't even have the chance to meet Zhili.
This time, Turing Tuo led an army of 200,000 to attack Tianshui City. As the 30,000-strong cavalry commander, Ling Ao marched all the way and was considered a high-level figure, but he knew nothing about the outside world. It was as if everyone thought he did not exist.
.
There is no doubt that Ji Li's confidant in Turing Tuo's army is another young Cavalry Commander, Jian Ning, the son of Marquis Jian Yong of Wangcheng Academy.
The person who sent the secret message to Ji Li was Jian Ning.
Speaking of which, Jian Ning and Sauron still had some grudges. In order to suppress Sauron, Jian Ning poisoned his wife Niya and defrauded Sauron into going to his Marquis Mansion in an attempt to destroy Sauron. As a result, Sauron
He used tricks to get out of trouble and saved Niya's life.
Since then, Niya publicly divorced Jian Ning and completely severed the relationship between husband and wife.
After that, Jian Ning sent people everywhere to publicize the adultery between Niya and Sauron, as if the reason for their divorce was entirely due to Sauron's intervention by a third party.
This man is really shameless. He tried to give his wife Niya to Zhili to be ruined for the sake of power and wealth. Later, in order to please Zining and deal with Sauron, he even poisoned his wife, but he poured all the dirty water on Sauron and Sauron.
On Niya's head.
In order to avoid suspicion, Teacher Niya did not return to Sauron. Instead, she went to the Northern Monastery of the Dragon Temple. While working as a medical monk, she took care of the children in the orphanage. She was engaged in the most sacred work and lived a very happy life.
Enrichment.
Jian Ning, who also belongs to the Dragon Guard Army, is undoubtedly much more sophisticated than Ling Ao. After several years of management, although he cannot be said to have completely mastered the army in his hands, he has at least become a nail in the coffin.
It was deeply embedded in Turing Tuo's territory.
As Ling Ao's confidant, when he first joined the Dragon Guard, Jian Ning and Ling Ao had a very good relationship, and even went so far as to deliberately try to please him.
But after the Gui Qinshao incident happened, Jian Ning became completely indifferent to Leng Ao, and even if they met, they would act as if they hadn't seen him.
So this short month felt extremely long to Ling Ao.
As the captain of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, he owned a separate tent. He was lying on the bed and staring at the roof of the tent in a daze.
There was a gust of wind, and a tall figure walked in.
It’s actually the Duke of Turindor?!
Ling Ao stood up in shock and said in astonishment: "Father..., Marshal!"
Previously, during the honeymoon period of the relationship between Gui Xingfu, Turing Tuo, and Li Li, Turing Tuo valued Ling Ao very much and adopted him as his adopted son.
However, after the incident of Gui Qin Shao Ci and Li Li, Turing Tuo became completely indifferent to Ling Ao.
In the past month of marching, Duke Turingtuo has never summoned Ling Ao. Unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to see him now, and Ling Ao was at a loss what to do.
Duke Turingtuo sat down with a golden sword and said: "Ling Ao, Gui Qinshao has been rescued by Sauron."
Ling Ao was stunned and said, "Isn't Sauron dead?"
Turing Tuo shook his head and said: "Many people wanted him dead, but in the end he was not dead. More than half a month ago, he led a raid on Shaojun's Mansion and rescued Gui Qinshao."
After hearing this, Ling Ao felt extremely complicated.
He should have been happy that Gui Qinshao was rescued, but it was Sauron who rescued her, his biggest enemy in his life.
Ling Ao didn't know anything about the relationship between Gui Qinshao and Sauron, but he had been deceiving himself before.
As a husband, he sat back and watched his wife fall into the clutches of Ji Li, but as an outsider, Suolun risked everything to rescue Gui Qinshao. This is really a great irony.
Turing Tuo continued: "Sauron has led his army to capture Linhai City, and returned to negative territory for his three sons. All of them have been captured."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Ao's expression changed drastically!
This, how is this possible?
He knew clearly that his father-in-law Gui Xinghui led 40,000 naval troops to attack Luanshi Island. How could he lose a battle that was inevitable?
Moreover, all four of them, father and son, were captured? How is this possible?
Turing Tuo continued: "Not only that, Sauron also defeated the 150,000-strong army of Duke Zhiwei, and beheaded himself in public. Your father-in-law has completely surrendered to Sauron, broke with Zhili, and exposed Zhili's attempt.
The scandal of the truth about Qin Shao being stabbed instead of being treated unfairly."
At this time, Ling Ao was completely stunned!
Each of these news is like a thunderbolt.
Sauron not only defeated Gui Xinghui, but also defeated Zhiwei's 150,000 army?
And, behead Duke Wei in public?
Has he eaten the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard?
Who is Zhiwei? The king's younger brother, the top dignitary in the kingdom.
Ling Ao has always thought highly of himself and regards Sauron as his biggest enemy and rival. He also vowed to trample Sauron under his feet one day.
At this time, he deeply felt how ridiculous his thoughts were.
He, Ling Ao, relied on Gui Xingfu and relied on Ji Li to get ahead. His father-in-law Gui Xingfu was in Ling Ao's heart, and he existed like heaven.
At this time, this heavenly father-in-law actually surrendered to Sauron and became his loyal dog.
Duke Zhiwei was second only to His Highness Zhili in terms of power in the entire Kingdom of Wrath, but he was beheaded by Sauron in public display.
Sauron's opponent has always been Li Li, how can he see Ling Ao in his eyes? It's ridiculous that he has always regarded Sauron as his biggest opponent. He really has no self-awareness.
Turing Tuo said: "Not only that, your father-in-law was also deprived of his title and the position of Lord of Linhai City by Sauron. Gui Qinshao was also appointed as the successor of Lord of Linhai City."
Qin Shao? She became the lord of Linhai City? Ling Ao was confused again and felt unreal.
Turing Tuo looked at Ling Ao with a trace of pity in his eyes and said: "Ling Ao, where should you go next?"
Ling Ao's heart sank, yes, where should he go?
Gui Xingfu has always been his biggest backer, and now that his backer has surrendered to Sauron, should he also surrender to Sauron? This is impossible.
Once you leave there, you can never go back.
He Ling Ao suddenly went from being the most handsome young man in the kingdom to a bereaved dog. The world was so vast that there was no place for him to stay.
Before, Ji Li kept saying that he, Ling Ao, would become the future first commander of the military, but now it sounded so ridiculous.
Turing Tuo stepped forward and patted Ling Ao on the shoulder and said: "You called me foster father before, but you probably didn't mean it sincerely. Now are you willing to call me foster father again and assist your brother Turingchen in the future?"
Ling Ao shuddered and looked at Turing Tuo in disbelief.
Turing Tuo said: "I don't value your background, nor do I value that you were once the attendant of His Highness Ji Li. I only value your talent. I hope you will become Turing Chen's right-hand man in the future. Are you willing?"
Ling Ao was shocked in his heart, then he knelt on his knees and said, "My son, please pay homage to your adoptive father!"
Turing Tuo laughed and said: "Okay, from now on you will be the real commander of the 30,000 Cavalry Army. Anyone who dares to violate the law will be stamped on him, hahaha..."
Then, Duke Turingtuo said again: "We are still more than two hundred miles away from Tianlang Pass. The first thing we do after destroying Tianshui City is to get Gui Qinshao back for you."
Ling Ao said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, foster father, for attacking Tianlang Pass. I am willing to take the lead."
"Okay..." Turing Tuo said: "Saulun is so majestic that he defeated your father-in-law Gui Xinghui and killed Zhiwei. If he loses to you on the battlefield, you will truly become famous all over the world!"
Ling Ao bowed down again and said, "I am willing to die for my foster father!"
"I believe you." Duke Turingtuo patted Ling Ao on the shoulder again and said, "I'm waiting for you to beat Sauron to pieces on the battlefield."
After saying that, Duke Turing stood up and walked out.
…
Guarded by hundreds of close warriors, Turing Tuo patrolled the camp.
More than two hundred miles away, there is still more than two hundred miles away from Tianlang Pass. In two days, the battle between him and Sauron will break out completely.
Complacency is the only reflection of you in his heart at this time.
He really wanted to thank Sauron for killing all of them, causing him to lose all checks and balances and become the only pillar of strength for him.
From now on, as long as he clings to the military power, even Li Li will not be able to do anything to him.
Being crowned a king is just around the corner!
Although Sauron did him a great favor by killing Zhiwei, Turingtuo's heart was still full of disdain and contempt.
It's really ridiculous for a yellow-haired boy to withdraw his troops from Turing Tuo even though he's just a little talented!
Turing Tuo was not worried at all about the battle with Sauron.
He will not underestimate Sauron, but the Tianshui City army has been exhausted after more than ten days of fighting with Zhiwei. How many troops are left?
The most important thing is that in order to force him to retreat, Sauron even killed Zhiwei, which shows that he has a guilty conscience and no confidence.
In his opinion, the power of Zhiwei has consumed nine points of the strength of Sauron's army, leaving only one point, which is really like killing a tiger.
Therefore, it is completely easy to attack Tianshui City and destroy Sauron's army this time!
"Saulun, you are destined to be the first stepping stone for my great cause as a king!" Turingtuo looked up at the sky with high spirits!
Then, he suddenly felt something strange in the sky, as if there were some black spots falling!
…
The fourteen griffins sent by Sauron had flown more than 200 miles in less than an hour and reached the sky above Turing Tuo Camp!
Two hundred thousand troops camped on the spot, stretching for more than ten miles, covering the sky and the earth.
Still aiming at the cavalry camp, he threw the gunpowder packets towards the place where the war horses were the densest.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."
Dozens of gunpowder packets, each weighing more than a hundred pounds, fell from a height of four to five hundred meters.
A few seconds later…
All the gunpowder packets were slammed to the ground and among the horses.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Then, there was an earth-shattering explosion.
The entire ground was shaking, and dozens of fireballs shot up into the sky.
In the center of the explosion, a large number of war horses were blown to pieces and died violently.
And more horses were frightened, completely lost control, and ran wildly.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of war horses running wildly, as if they were contagious.
Soon, countless war horses were rampaging through the camp like a furious tide.
Turingtuo's 200,000 troops were in chaos.
I don’t know how many soldiers were trampled to pulp, and their muscles and bones were broken by the impact.
Countless exclamations and screams could be heard!
The entire military camp was ablaze!
At this time, the Duke of Turingto, who was originally very proud, felt cold all over and was shivering.
Then, a series of orders went down, asking the officers to control the situation in the shortest possible time.
…
It was almost dawn when the chaos in the entire army completely calmed down!
"Commander Father, we have thoroughly investigated. Last night, Sauron sent out more than a dozen griffons and dropped thunder from the sky, which frightened the war horses and blew up the camp." Turing Chen said.
"Thunder..." Turing Tuo said: "This is what Sauron used to blow up Grand Duke Lanshi of Yelan Principality. Isn't this thing extremely precious? Why are there so many of them?"
Turingchen continued to report: "Last night, our horses suffered 2,300 casualties, and our soldiers suffered more than 7,000 casualties. Most of them were trampled and collided by the horses."
Turing Tuo closed his eyes in pain and said: "Now I finally know how Turing Tuo's 150,000-strong army was completely destroyed. This old thief deserves to die. In his letter to me, he didn't even say a word."
Ti Sauron's thunder."
Taking a deep breath, Turing Tuo said bitterly: "Sauron is slapping me in the face, warning me to force me to retreat!"
Tu Lingchen said: "Father, what should we do next? Should we retreat, camp where we are, or continue to advance?"
Turingtuo fell into silence!
Yes, what should we do next?
Suddenly, Turingtuo couldn't help but think of Zhiwei. He must have also faced difficult choices.
Now it seems that the first day of the battle between Zhiwei and Sauron must have been a disastrous defeat, rather than a small loss.
After the disastrous defeat, Zhiwei did not retreat to Baiyun County, but continued to defend his position and besieged Fenglei Castle's defense line. This was the tragedy of the entire army being destroyed and finally being beheaded by Sauron.
It was a mistake for Zhiwei to choose to stay behind that day, so what choice should Turingtuo make today?
He is different from Zhiwei. Zhiwei can do everything for Zheli and fight all the troops at hand, but Turingtuo cannot.
Even if Zhiwei loses all his troops, he is still the top duke in the kingdom.
And if he, Turing Tuo, fights all the troops at hand, he will die without a place to bury him.
To Li Li, Turing Tuo was a powerful minister and an outsider!
However, if he just retreated and was scared away by Sauron's dozen griffins, Turing Tuo would probably become the laughing stock of the world!
Moreover, he firmly believed that Sauron did not have the confidence to fight with him, so he repeatedly forced him to retreat.
So this air strike is just a bluff by Sauron! Son Sauron, don’t even think about blackmailing me!
Suddenly, Turing Tuo ordered in a cold voice: "The army will rest for three hours, and then continue to march towards Tianshui City. We will not give up until Sauron is destroyed!"

Note: The first update of 4,000 words is sent. I have something to do when I go back to my hometown in the countryside today. I slept for more than three hours last night and traveled thousands of miles today. I was really sleepy when I was typing, so I gritted my teeth and finished it.
Please support me, thank you all! (To be continued.)
