City No. 98.
Zhao Xing and Long Xiao’s Arrowfish Flying Boat landed.
"Swoosh~"
As soon as they landed, Zhao Xing noticed that the planting area in the south of the city had been utterly destroyed.
The Earth Fire Lotus had been completely uprooted, leaving a ss.
The Minister of Agriculture and the craftsn in the city hung their heads low, their spirits extrely downcast.
"Where’s Che Shihai?" Zhao Xing grabbed a Minister of Agriculture and asked.
"Mr. Zhao? You’re finally here..." The Ninth Grade Minister of Agriculture said with a crying expression.
"Stop crying! I’m asking you, where’s Che Shihai?" Zhao Xing shouted.
"Inside, inside." The Ninth Grade Minister of Agriculture pointed to the dical Hall.
Swoosh~
Zhao Xing imdiately rushed into the dical Hall.
At this mont, Che Shihai’s left shoulder was in a sling, Wang Ji lay on the bed, his face pale, and Han Bing was sitting in a corner.
A military doctor was giving Wang Ji an acupuncture treatnt.
Upon seeing Zhao Xing, Che Shihai instantly beca very excited, while Han Bing’s face remained gloomy.
"Boss, boss..." Che Shihai started to speak.
"How long since they left?" Zhao Xing interrupted.
"15 minutes."
"Which direction?"
"Northeast direction."
"How many people?"
"Over a thousand, maybe more."
"Che Shihai, imdiately order soone to sound the city-wide alarm, maximum alert!" Zhao Xing interrupted Che Shihai again.
"Boss, they are..."
"Shut up! Not a single trace of battle after an enemy attack, you really disgrace !" Zhao Xing interrupted Che Shihai again, "Mobilize all five departnts imdiately, let them out of the city, even if they can’t find the enemy, at least bring back a few trees for !"
"Yes, yes!" Che Shihai imdiately walked out.
Han Bing imdiately understood Zhao Xing’s intention: "That person is Qian Shougang, the Black Dragon Army Commander under Prince Liang, we..."
"What Black Dragon Army, what commander?" Zhao Xing squinted at Han Bing, "City No. 98 has been attacked, the main commander injured, precious military supplies Earth Fire Lotus robbed. Rember, even if the king of heaven cos, say the sa."
Facing Zhao Xing’s gaze, Han Bing couldn’t help but shiver: "I, I understand."
"How is Wang Ji’s injury?"
The military doctor Yuan Yang said: "Internal injuries, but nothing serious, can be cured in a few hours."
"Remove the needle," Zhao Xing said, "Make sure Wang Ji lies on the city wall."
Yuan Yang: "?"
"What are you staring at, do as I say!"
"Yes." Yuan Yang imdiately waved his hand, calling people to carry Wang Ji to the city wall.
After swiftly arranging everything, Zhao Xing walked out of the dical Hall, where chaos had already erupted.
He glanced at the divine temple, which was still under construction, just like the city walls, both in a semi-finished state.
Zhao Xing pulled Han Bing over: "Collect everyone’s Mirage Pearls and Earth Mirror Instrunts, I don’t need to teach you how to do it, right?"
Han Bing nodded.
Zhao Xing patted Han Bing’s shoulder and jumped onto the Arrowfish Flying Boat: "Wait here, I’ll get revenge for you."
With that, the Arrowfish Flying Boat, carrying Long Xiao’s five hundred Brave Camp soldiers, chased towards the northeast.
"Figured out who did it?" Long Xiao asked urgently.
"Yes, the enemy disguised as a private army of Prince Liang, the Black Dragon Army Commander Qian Shougang," Zhao Xing said.
"What? Prince Liang!" Long Xiao’s eyes flared with anger. "It’s him again!"
The day the Divine Might Army was disbanded, the chief culprit was Prince Liang.
Back then, the Divine Might Army could have conquered a Grotto Heaven. Yang An could have been titled Duke Divine Might, and even the nomination was prepared.
But because they offended Prince Liang, all efforts went up in smoke.
If not for Yang An shouldering most of the pressure, he and the rest of the old team, like Old Chen, would have faced more than just demotion and exile.
If anyone Long Xiao hated the most, it wasn’t the barbarian generals, but Prince Liang!
Yet, facing Prince Liang Ji Mingxian, they had no way to accuse him, because Prince Liang held the military and political power of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion back then, deliberately using ti-lag orders and intelligence to trap the Divine Might Army into fighting on all fronts, causing their defeat, and then held them accountable.
Every order was impeccable in process, but with a slight manipulation, it was enough to trap the Divine Might Army in danger.
Zhao Xing calmly said: "I’ll repeat it again, the enemy disguised as Prince Liang’s private army, just like we disguised as barbarian generals when we infiltrated Fire Dragon Pass."
This ti, Long Xiao realized: "Right, right, they’re the enemy!"
Zhao Xing said: "When we catch up with them, attack imdiately, don’t give them any chance to speak. If he calls himself an inspector, he won’t bring many people to City No. 98."
"Humph, there’s still our army’s planted Earth Fire Lotus on his boat, that’s evidence of looting."
Long Xiao firmly nodded: "Right, right, exactly like that!"
When it ca to brains, Zhao Xing’s were the best.
Zhao Xing stood at the bow of the ship, a Spirit Bridge materialized above his head, connecting heaven and earth, starting to track the traces left by the warship in the Gang Wind Layer.
A mont later, Zhao Xing spread out a map.
"Based on the traces in the Gang Wind Layer, the Black Dragon Warship of the Fifth Rank wasn’t advancing at full speed."
"We should catch up to this warship in about two quarters."
"But this place is very close to Beixian Territory, with six military cities nearby. If he escapes into a city camp, it’ll be hard to eliminate him."
"And if the Black Dragon Army’s garrison cos to support, it’ll be equally hard to exact revenge."
Zhao Xing’s finger glided over the six military cities.
Finally, a conclusion:
"Long Xiao, we have at most two quarters of combat ti."
"If we drag on, variables will arise. So from the start, we must give it our all."
"Understood." Long Xiao nodded.
"ow!" Long Aotian also waved its paws at the side, seemingly cheering them on.
....
minutes after Zhao Xing left.
"Boom~"
Liao Rulong descended outside City No. 98 with six warships.
"Han Bing, what’s going on?!" Chen Shijie asked: "Where is Zhao Xing?"
