Chapter 48: Difficult retreat (2)
Wave asked, "I am afraid this bead is from the human world.
"Yes! It is a magic weapon refined by a Taoist priest in the human realm, and was later absorbed into the body of the precious spear."
Wave said in relief, "Demon soldiers come from foreign islands in the sky, they are not comparable to the small demons in the human world, and the demon weapons in their hands are also treasures, so it is reasonable that the human world's magic weapons cannot compete with them."
"I know, but this bead has been with me for such a long time, so I feel a little sorry for it."
Ranran laughed, "The heavenly realm is vast, and there are many treasures, just wait for the person who has the destiny, maybe there is a better bead waiting for you."
Yelu Yun is also a free-spirited person. When he saw the two of them talking like this, the grayness in his heart was wiped away and he got up and asked, "Have you made all the arrangements?
"Yes! Although the demon soldiers retreated, but they are huge in number, they will definitely come back, Taohe City is too heavily damaged, if the demon soldiers come again, they will definitely lose, they can only go away immediately, gather more heavenly soldiers and generals to fight with the demon army again." Thinking of the people who died in the battle, Ranran's eyes almost spewed out fire.
Yelu Yun frowned and said, "I don't think the demon army is attacking only one direction, I am afraid that many cities and towns are also under attack.
Ran Ran and Yilu Yun looked at each other with a bitter smile, both of them had a helpless look on their faces.
"What happened?
Wave by Wave sighed long and said uneasily, "According to the captured little demon, there were five advance raiding corps of the demon army, and we only crushed the vanguard of one of them, and there were also huge ground troops behind them, which numbered no less than 100,000 people, and the situation of the other four corners was also roughly the same."
"Five! Although Yelu Yun had expected that there would not be only one way, he did not expect that there would be so many of them. He could not help but think of a scene like the dead zone of Yunyang City in his mind, and wondered how many other cities would be massacred by the demon soldiers just like Yunyang.
"We can only hope that they can block the attack." Ranran shook his head, if not for Yelu Yun and Yulang who came with their lives, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"I don't know in which direction General Guan Ming went?"
"With their speed, I'm afraid they can't go far. If they weren't killed in Yunyang, they're probably still on their way to Taohe City, and the situation is not optimistic. Wave looked in the direction of Nightless City with a bitter smile, and his heart ached like fire.
Yelu Yun frowned and suddenly said, "I will go back to take a look, the demon army is not familiar with the terrain of the heavenly realm, and the speed of the ground troops' advancement is not expected to be too fast.
"Wave by wave and Ranran were stunned.
"If I can find them, I may still be able to play some roles."
Ran Ran was touched by his bravery and courage and said in a deep voice, "I will go with you. Lord Yulang, you and the soldiers and civilians of Taohe City will retreat northward together, and try to join the retreating soldiers and civilians of each city, so we should be able to form an effective force."
Wave by wave nodded his head after a moment of contemplation.
Yelu Yun, however, rejected Ran Ran's proposal and said in a deep voice, "Lord Star General is very powerful, staying behind can stabilize the military and people's hearts, and in case the flying troops of the demon army kills again, there will be a force strong enough to fight against it, and I will be more flexible on my own."
Ran Ran and Wave by Wave saw that his words were reasonable and his attitude was so firm, they looked at each other and nodded their heads silently.
Yelu Yun smiled faintly, hugged his fists towards the two of them, and took the two girls to fly towards the south.
As they know, from the demon array influx of demon troops continue to gather, flying demon soldiers were formed into five raiding corps, divided into five directions, in addition to the defeat of the nightless Yunyang Taohe this way, the other four corps were successful in successive battles, the most attacked and broke seven cities, less also have five cities, because the news of the defeat of the Taohe to the temporary headquarters located in the city of the nightless, immediately caused a huge shock, the ground troops immediately The ground troops were immediately mobilized, and the ant-like demon soldiers spread out in all directions, building a huge territory centered on the Heavenly Gate and the Nightless City.
Although Yelu Yun volunteered to help, he did not have full certainty, but he had no fear in his heart, so he had no scruples in doing things. He flew south along the route he took, and soon returned to the vicinity of the massacred Yunyang City, which had been taken over by the demon soldiers, warned by the demonic stench that was coming from the sky.
"Brother Yun, the defeated soldiers of the demon army should be staying right in front of us, should we not go around?
Yelu Yun gazed at the small city situated on the plain and couldn't help but think of the sparkling white bones inside and outside the city. His heart was filled with anger and he was silent for a moment before he said, "With their speed, they should have reached the vicinity of Yunyang City by now, and there is still a chance to rescue them if they are not found by the demon soldiers on the way.
"Let's go, let's look around.
As the sky was darkened with stars, Yelu Yun took this opportunity to fly to a high altitude and looked down at the mountains, forests and plains on the ground, and clearly saw the darkness of Yunyang City, like a piece of black iron embedded in the ground, which was out of place in the surrounding green and tranquil woods.
After searching for a moment, they did not find the figure of Officer Ming and the others, but they found a huge number of demon troops were swimming towards the south towards Yunyang City, as if a huge black snake was snaking on the ground, leaving behind a pungent demonic stench wherever they went.
"I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 demon soldiers," Ji Pingting said, her heart jumping with fear.
Yelu Yun's expression became more and more gloomy, sighed in a deep voice, "I am afraid that the news of the defeat of the vanguard troops of the demon army has been sent back, and the headquarters of the demon army has mobilized a large army to reinforce them, and this army, together with the troops of Yunyang City, is feared to be as many as 200,000 people, and there are only 10,000 people left in the army and people of Taohe City, and they are simply not capable of resisting it.
"Brother Yun, should we continue to search or go back to deliver the letter?
"We must find the people and deliver the letter."
"Are we going to let only us sisters go?" Yuwen Hui looked at Ji Pingting.
Ji Pingting smiled sweetly and said, "My sister can manipulate the immortal jade, stay and help Brother Yun in the battle, I will go back and inform them to be careful.
Yelu Yun naturally do not rest assured that Ji Pingting alone on the road, with her strength today is only similar to the ordinary heavenly soldiers, if they meet the masters, the situation is extremely dangerous, but at the moment there is no one to send, hesitated for half a day and could not make a decision.
Ji Pingting knew that he felt sorry for her and smiled even more brightly as she softly advised, "Don't worry! The demon army is in Yunyang, there won't be any problem on the way back, and both the Wave-surfing Heavenly Officials and the Ranran Star Generals have seen me before and won't make things difficult for me."
"Okay! I will trouble Pingting to come and stay there after delivering the news, don't come back to me to avoid danger, I will go back as soon as I find someone with Hui'er."
"I know! I know." Ji Pingting wrapped herself around Yelu Yun's body and circled around a few times before reluctantly drifting off to the north.
Yelu Yun gazed at the distant soul, his heart gripped high and could no longer let go.
"Brother Yun, let's move quickly! We can also go back earlier to meet up with Pingting."
"Let's go! Let's go!" Yelu Yun gently patted the back of the wind beast and drove the wind beast around the range of Yunyang City and plunged into the surrounding barren mountains and wilderness.
Without the disturbance in the air, Yulang led a thousand heavenly soldiers to escort the residents of Taohe City to the north, fortunately, they all know the art of making food, and they almost did not stop along the way, even when they passed by the two cities of "Shuoan" and "Xinzi", they only rested a little, and told the local heavenly officials and generals about the news and left immediately, and the soldiers and citizens of these two cities did not dare to stay behind after receiving the news, and they all joined in the retreat, and soon gathered 10,000 heavenly soldiers and more than 100,000 heavenly generals. Soon they gathered 10,000 heavenly soldiers and more than 100,000 residents of the heavenly realm, and their goal was Cang Yue City, the center city of the Heavenly Gate area.
Ji Pingting drifted all the way to Maple Leaf Gorge, 20 miles north of Xinzi, before catching up with the retreating team.
Ran Ran had been leading a group of celestial soldiers in the air to break the back, and soon discovered Ji Pingting's figure, and immediately greeted her and asked, "What news does Yelu Lao Di have?
"Demon army of more than 100,000 troops to reinforce, I came when the soldiers to Yunyang, cloud brother let me come back to notify you, the enemy forces, be careful.
Ran Ran nodded in relief, fortunately, there are Yelu Yun help, otherwise I do not know how many people will die in this catastrophe.
"Miss, you have worked hard, are you going back to meet with Yelu's oldest brother or are you going to stay and retreat together?
Ji Pingting smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Yun told me to wait while retreating."
"Uh-huh!" Ran Ran pondered for a moment, smiled and said, "You go to find the wave, follow the army together with the north retreat, I will take the live south to meet with Yelu's brother."
Ji Pingting smiled sweetly and drifted to the front of the army to find Yulang, who was leading the commanders in the front.
When he saw her coming alone, he was surprised and thought that something big had happened. He hurriedly came back to greet her and only found out the reason when he asked her about it, lamenting the power of the demon soldiers and appreciating the courage and benevolence of Yelu Yun.
The fleeing celestials didn't care that there was a beautiful soul beside them, and at most, they only looked at it for a few moments. The demon army behind them was like a huge hammer hanging over their heads, and it would fall all the time and smash them to pieces.
If the large heavenly realm, the place where countless human beings aspire to be, who would not have thought that there would be such a wretched scene, thousands of refugees in a small number of celestial soldiers escorted by the pathos of the transfer to a safe place, almost none of the faces appeared to have a smile, there are only worried and panicked deep frowns. It was not that Ji Pingting had not seen the refugees before, but the scene in front of her and the heavenly realm were linked together, it felt particularly strange, and the good impression of the heavenly realm disappeared.
The army slowly passed through the Maple Leaf Gorge like a long snake and entered the wide Cang Yue Plain in the north. A group of people suddenly flew into the sky in the north, black as a dense cloud, which was particularly conspicuous in the starry sky.
"That is ......" Ji Pingting thought it was a demon soldier who suddenly came to kill bypassing the road, and her color immediately became nervous.
Wave's heart was also in his throat, but after looking carefully for a while, the uneasiness on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a heartfelt smile, excitedly said, "Great, one of the four marshals of the South Province, Zhennan Tianshuai Lehe, has arrived, and brought the Flying Tiger Heavenly Troopers, so there is no need to worry about it now.
Ji Pingting looked at the sky curiously, and saw that the sky was filled with winged tigers, all of them were very handsome, and on their backs sat white-armored celestial soldiers holding tiger-head heavenly blades, which made them very powerful and impressive, and indeed different from the others.
"Zhennan Heavenly Commander? Is he your superior?
"There are four heavenly ministers in the Mingyuan Heaven besides the Heavenly Court, each of them is in charge of one side, and each of them has four heavenly marshals, nine star generals, and the supervisors, seal holders, commanders, and governors of all the mansions and courtyards, and this Zhennan Heavenly Marshal is one of the four heavenly marshals under the South Heavenly Minister, and he has a flying tiger troop under his command, which has a very strong combat power, and he will not be afraid of the demon soldiers even if they come with him if he has them to escort his team."
"So that's how it is!
Ji Pingting fixed her eyes on the low flying tiger soldiers, her eyes fell on the front of a white robes and silver armor of the general, straddle is a kind of purple striped flying tiger, back vertical inserted with a tiger head three pointed knife, the knife body will have a thousand channels of haze light generation, three knife tip on the upper end of the three red, blue and white beads, can be sprayed out of the fire, water and fog of the kind of power.
The news of Zhennan Tianshuai's assistance caused a great reaction in the entire fleeing team, a tense face immediately relaxed, and the face gradually had a happy color.
The heavenly marshal's vigor was really different from the others, and it changed the atmosphere of the whole fleeing team before he even made his move.
Ji Pingting was happy but did not think that she was in trouble because of this.
