This red-haired Eighth Order should be the Southern Army Regiment Commander, Ouyang Lie. He had heard that this man’s personality was as hot as fire, but ten years ago, when he was fighting against the Black Ink Clan’s army, he had killed one of the Black Ink Clan’s Territory Lords. As a result, he had suffered heavy injuries and nearly died on the spot.
From his appearance, it seemed he hadn’t recovered after ten years.
However, this was not difficult to understand. The higher one’s cultivation was, the more difficult it was to recover from injuries, especially when one had reached the Eighth Order.
Didn’t he see how long it took for the Old Ancestor to recover from her injuries? The Royal Lord had not recovered from his injuries since he was injured in a battle with the Old Ancestor.
In addition to these two Regiment Commanders, there were also several Eighth Order Garrison Chiefs of the North-South Army.
Li Xing greeted everyone.
Ouyang Lie lay in his chair and asked without waiting for Li Xing to speak, “What’s the situation with the East-West armies? Have they launched the final battle in the King City?”
Over the past few years, the East-West and North-South armies had occasionally contacted each other, but because it was a long journey, it would take two months to travel back and forth, so communication was not frequent, only sending someone to inform the other party of important decisions.
Today, Li Xing had come because he had something important to tell them, and it was highly likely that this would be the final battle against the King City! Therefore, Ouyang Lie had asked this question.
Li Xing bowed and replied, “Reporting to Martial Uncle Ouyang, when this Disciple set out from there, the great battle had yet to begin, but it was still in the midst of preparation. Calculating the time, the battle should have already ended.”
Mi Jinglun smiled and asked, “In that case, do you think the East-West armies’ goal will be achieved?”
Li Xing nodded, “Yes!”
Mi Jinglun raised his brow, “Since you’re so certain, it means that the situation over there is quite good, so this battle should be won. That’s right, with Senior Brother Xiang overseeing the situation, how could the Black Ink Clan be a match for them?”
Ouyang Lie curled his lips and said, “The East-West armies won, so why did Xiang Shan send you here?”
From the beginning to the end, Ouyang Lie had always complained about Xiang Shan. The East-West armies had attacked the Black Ink Clan’s hinterlands with great battle achievements, but the North-South armies had been blocking the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan’s territory. How could the East-West armies go to the King City to enjoy themselves?
Li Xing replied, “Senior Xiang has ordered this disciple to inform the North-South Army to be on guard against the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan’s movements!”
Mi Jinglun pondered for a moment before nodding, “Indeed, we should be vigilant. If the King City’s Black Ink Clan were to suffer a great loss there, the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan wouldn’t be able to sit still. Right now, they only have two choices, to defend the Great Evolution Pass, or to abandon the Pass and flee!”
Saying so, Mi Jinglun understood and said, “Senior Brother Xiang means that if the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan comes out of seclusion, my North-South Army can simply wait and see, there’s no need to stop them, right?”
Li Xing was a bit stunned and nodded, “Sir Xiang Shan does mean that.”
Ouyang Lie asked, “Do you think the Great Evolution Passs' Black Ink Clan will abandon the Pass and flee?”
Mi Jinglun smiled, “How can they just wait for death? If I’m not mistaken, after this battle, the East-West Army should rest and reorganize in the base before sending out their forces and openly leaving the base, deliberately allowing the Black Ink Clan to investigate the situation. Only then will the news from the King City reach Great Evolution Pass.”
Saying so, he turned to Li Xing and asked, “Is this Brother Xiang’s subsequent arrangements?”
Li Xing said admiringly, “It is indeed so. Before leaving, Sir Xiang Shan asked me to convey that after the victory of the army, they will rest for ten days before sending out the forces to recover the Great Evolution Pass. If the North-South armies take note of the Great Evolution Pass’s movements, it will mean that the East-West armies have won a great victory, but if they don’t take action, it will be the opposite.”
Before coming here, he had thought that Xiang Shan’s evaluation of Mi Jinglun was a bit too high, but now it seemed that this Great Evolution Northern Army's Regiment Commander really did have some unique points. At the very least, his mind was extremely sharp, otherwise he would not have been able to see through Sir Xiang Shan’s arrangements so quickly.
Ouyang Lie frowned, “If the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan really wants to escape, are we just going to ignore them?”
Mi Jinglun said, “Although we have the heart, we are powerless. The North-South Army’s current strength is insufficient. If the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan really wants to flee, we won’t stop them, but if we do, it will be a bloody battle. At that time, I’m afraid our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties.”
Just like the battle ten years ago, no one wanted to experience it again. In that battle, almost half of the entire North-South Army had been defeated. Eighth Order Open Heaven masters had sacrificed their lives one after another just to intercept the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan, and even the Southern Army Regiment Commander Ouyang Lie had nearly died.
An Eighth Order Garrison Chief frowned and said, “The Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan has a lot of people now, at least twenty or thirty Territory Lords and Eighth Order Black Ink Disciples, and their army is about two hundred and fifty thousand strong. If we let them escape back to the King City and join forces with the Black Ink Clan, it will be troublesome in the future.”
Mi Jinglun smiled lightly and said, “Haste makes waste. Let’s think about it another way. If the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan escapes, it will be the same as handing over Great Evolution Pass to us. What’s wrong with not spending a single soldier to capture it? As for the future… once the expedition begins, what is there to fear about the King City?”
Retrieving Great Evolution Pass was a preparation for the Human Race’s future expedition. This was something all the Eighth Order masters knew about, and they also knew that the Human Race now possessed a powerful weapon that was specifically used against the Black Ink Clan. This kind of weapon had already been developed, but because there were too few of them and it was inconvenient for them to expose it in advance, they had not used it in the past few years.
However, if the expedition were to begin, this weapon would be of great use. At that time, it would be easy to conquer the King City.
Looking at the high-spirited Mi Jinglun, Li Xing felt as if he was looking at a different Xiang Shan, thinking to himself, 'Sure enough, the way of thinking of those who play tricks is much higher than others.' Mi Jinglun and Xiang Shan were very similar.
“Let’s wait and see. If I’m not mistaken, within ten days, the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan will send a messenger.”
The Eighth Order were all stunned, not knowing why Mi Jinglun would make such a deduction, Li Xing was equally puzzled.
The blood feud between the two races had been fought for countless years, and every time they met, their brains would be beaten to a pulp. There had never been a precedent of a race sending a messenger to another.
However, since Mi Jinglun said so, he obviously had his own judgment.
Originally, after delivering the order, Li Xing could return at any time.
Driven by curiosity, he stayed behind to see if this Regiment Commander Mi Jinglun, who was highly regarded by Sir Xiang Shan, was correct. If the Black Ink Clan messenger really came, it would be an eye-opener.
The East-West Army’s is stationed in a Universe World, and after ten days of rest and reorganization, the main army had been reorganized, and the teams that were lacking in manpower had been replenished. Naturally, the teams that had been crippled had also been assigned to other teams.
Above Breaking Dawn, Yang Kai stood on the deck and stared forward.
The army was ready.
At this moment, three figures rushed over from afar, each of them exuding a different aura. One was a Seventh Order, one a Sixth Order, and one a Fifth Order.
The three of them stood in the air, and the leader of the group met Yang Kai’s eyes for a moment before cupping his fists and saying, “Xun Jia Garrison, Wind Guard Third Team, Blood Crow!”
“Wen Cheng Jing!”
“Zhang Yang!”
“Here to report!”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “Enter!”
Blood Crow’s figure flickered as he stood on the deck with the Sixth Order Wen Cheng Jing and the Fifth Order Zhang Yang.
The Central Army’s Expelling Black Ink Battleship slowly rose into the air as a loud voice rang out, “Set sail!”
“Set sail!” Yang Kai waved his hand and commanded, activating the Array above Breaking Dawn and following the fleet into the void.
On a Battleship, Troublesome Grandmaster looked towards the direction of Great Evolution Pass, tears streaming down his face.
After waiting outside the King City for more than a hundred and fifty years, now that he was finally about to rush to the place where his ancestors had fought a bloody battle, he couldn’t help feeling a bit depressed.
The sudden movement of the Human Race army shocked the Black Ink Clan outside the King City.
It had to be known that ten days ago, the two armies had just fought. During that battle, the Royal Lord had been beaten to a miserable state and the Black Ink Clan army had suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Human Race’s Old Ancestor had even displayed her might in front of the Royal Lord and killed three Territory Lords in a row, but the Royal Lord didn’t even dare let out a fart.
It had only been ten days, but was the Human Race’s army going to stir up trouble again?
The Territory Lords were all terrified, and the entire army was in an uproar.
However, what surprised all of the Black Ink Clan was that the Human Race’s army was not heading towards the King City this time, but in a different direction.
All of the Black Ink Clans could clearly feel the powerful aura of the Human Race’s Old Ancestor.
Staring in the direction of the Human Race army’s departure, the expression of Territory Lord Che Kong changed constantly as he faintly thought of a possibility. Realizing that the situation was not good, he quickly went to see the Royal Lord.
The Royal Lord’s face was pale, his aura weak, and his mood extremely bad.
Ten days ago, although the Human Race had withdrawn their forces, the aura of the Human Race’s Old Ancestor had always been felt by him on the void, making him constantly vigilant.
Under such circumstances, how could he have the mood to treat his injuries?
However, today, he suddenly felt the aura of the Human Race’s Old Ancestor gradually fade away! Using his Divine Sense, he soon learned the truth.
At this time, Che Kong arrived.
Without waiting for him to report, the Royal Lord said, “Send word to Great Evolution Pass to withdraw the army there and return to the King City.”
Hearing this, Che Kong was stunned, “Great Evolution, don't you want it?”
The Royal Lord slowly shook his head, “The Human Race’s Old Ancestor has personally come, the Great Evolution Pass' side cannot defend it.”
As for whether or not they were heading in the direction of Great Evolution Pass, it seemed like he was right, so Che Kong nodded and said, “This subordinate will send a message over, but Sir Royal Lord, there is still a Human Race army blocking Great Evolution Pass’s path, so they may not have a chance to retreat.”
The Royal Lord slowly shook his head, “The Human Race won’t try to stop us anymore, just send a message.”
Although Che Kong didn’t know why, he could only act accordingly.
Just as he was about to retreat, the Royal Lord added, “Have the Great Evolution Pass' Army take a detour and come back, they must not encounter the Human Race Old Ancestor along the way!”
“Yes!” Che Kong accepted the order and left.
After he retreated, the Royal Lord closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
How frustrating!
With such a massive force and the advantage of the terrain, in the end, the Human Race has the last laugh. On the other hand, as the Royal Lord, he could only hide in the King City, not daring to show his face.
And the root of all this was that he had underestimated his opponent too much. He had thought that the Human Race’s Old Ancestor was like him, always suffering from injuries that had yet to heal, but in reality, she had long since cunningly healed them.
Humiliation! A humiliation that could never be washed away!
