Suddenly, the Earth Mirror trembled.
Afterward, Che Shihai’s apparition appeared before them.
"Old Che, what’s with you? You look like you can’t squeeze out a shit," Zhao Xing asked with a smile.
Che Shihai replied with frustration, "Boss, Supply City number ninety-eight was subject to a forced requisition. Han Bing and Wang Ji have both been injured by soone!"
"What?!" Zhao Xing’s face changed instantly, "Who did it?!"
Che Shihai said, "It was, was..."
Before he could finish, Che Shihai’s apparition dispersed, as if soone had disrupted the communication.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Zhao Xing knew right away that the situation was urgent.
He imdiately took Mountain Cat and pulled along Long Xiao, who was nearest to him, to set off.
Upon hearing the news, Long Xiao, without a word, imdiately summoned five hundred Brave Cavalry Camp soldiers and boarded the Arrowfish Flying Boat, ascending rapidly into the sky.
As for Chen Shijie, Zhao Xing couldn’t reach him for the ti being, so he left two "paper cranes" to send ssages, one to find Chen Shijie and the other to seek out Xia Jing in the north of the city.
.....
Among the clouds, Zhao Xing steered the Flying Boat, pushing its speed to the limit.
Only then did Long Xiao ask, "What exactly is the situation? Do you understand?"
Zhao Xing replied with a grim face, "I’m not clear on it either."
In fact, he had so guesses. Che Shihai spoke of a forced requisition.
It must be Great Zhou’s army then.
And the other party must be a Sixth-Rank General.
A Sixth-Rank General has the authority to temporarily requisition logistical troops below their own rank, even if they are not from the sa army.
However, such regulations are generally only applied in ergency situations, such as when suffering defeat and gathering remnants along the way.
Or when needing supplies and passing through another army’s Supply City, it is permissible to have a al, for instance.
In the current situation, it’s rare to see an external army requisitioning another’s forces.
Normally, this shouldn’t lead to any conflict.
But Che Shihai ntioned ’forced requisition,’ which ans the other party must have made unreasonable demands.
What could Supply City number ninety-eight possess that would catch the eye of a Sixth-Rank General?
Zhao Xing imdiately thought of the answer: Earth Fire Lotus!
After the Divine Might Army took Fire Dragon Pass, the fact that they had a large quantity of Earth Fire Lotus quickly spread.
In the past ten days or so, other armies have continually co to Liao Rulong to borrow seeds. Since they are fighting the Fire Demon Clan, the vestnt robes made from Earth Fire Lotus would be useful to other armies.
Exchange between armies is normal, but Liao Rulong has not lent out much, because he, too, has no shortage of spoils of war with which to purchase items.
Could it be soone has co to forcibly take them?
"It might be soone coming to plunder the Earth Fire Lotus," Zhao Xing voiced his suspicion.
"What?!" Long Xiao beca furious, "Which blind asshole dares to do this? We brought them back at the risk of our lives!"
Zhao Xing said nothing but opened the map to check recent Military Realm movents and changes in the surrounding defense zones.
The Divine Might Army has now made a na for itself, and anyone who dares to bully the Divine Might Army must be quite formidable as well.
It surely wouldn’t be soone from a small force like the one at Karaqin doing this.
With that, the range of suspects was greatly narrowed down.
But after looking over the map several tis, Zhao Xing still couldn’t find a suitable candidate.
"It seems the Military Realm’s warzone map hasn’t been updated yet," Zhao Xing pondered within his heart.
Nevertheless, no matter what, he didn’t plan on letting this go easily.
Mr. Wang and Han Bing were both his fellow classmates as well as capable assistants.
The hell, dared to strike Mr. Zhao’s people?
"Long Xiao, if it cos to a fight later, show no rcy!"
"Combined, we have two million rit points; I’m not afraid of deductions!" Zhao Xing said.
"I know!" Long Xiao snorted, "It’s not the first ti my rit points have been deducted. rit can be earned back, but this anger cannot be tolerated. The sword of a Sword Cultivator cannot allow to swallow my anger and keep silent!"
