Chapter 1437: Ambush wth Initiative
“Huangfu Peng greets Venerable Yupo. Fortunately, you arrived in time. Otherwise, if you come half a day later, the consequences would be disastrous… I’m afraid that the entire Yin State will fall into the hands of the Liu Family.” The black-armored burly man bowed to Huangfu Yupo with an excited expression.
“No need to be polite. You have already made a great contribution for holding so long. You will be rewarded by Sir Demon Emperor in the future.” Huangfu Yupo said calmly.
“Thank you, Elder Yupo.” The black-armored burly man was overjoyed and bowed again.
“How is the situation here in Yin State? Apart from you, besides the Huangfu Family, are there any other defenders?” Huangfu Yupo asked.
“More than half a month ago, the Liu Family suddenly attacked Yin State crazily. Relying on those demon corpses, they defeated the family’s main garrison in Yin State. The local families moved out one after another. In desperation, I could only retreat while defending the Liu Family’s attack, while retreating… Yin State’s remaining military forces are all here.” The black-armored burly man’s face turned gloomy as he said in a low voice.
Huangfu Yupo frowned. Just when the black-armored burly man reported the situation, her Divine Thought had scanned the entire Yinfeng City. She found that there were less than 10,000 people in the city. Most of them should be the garrison. Most of the ordinary families and people had already fled to a neighboring state.
The Huangfu Family deployed more than 100,000 troops in Yin State before the war. Although they were not as elite as the 6 legions, they were still a strong force. Unexpectedly, they were defeated to this point in less than a month. It could be seen that the invasion of the Liu Family was swift and devastating. They clearly planned for a long time.
“What’s the enemy’s situation now?” Huangfu Yupo asked with a thoughtful look.
“The main force of the Liu Family this time is in a stronghold outside Yinfeng City. They have gathered more than 100,000 troops, and there is a Mystic Comprehending State in charge, but for some reason, he has not been taking action. Otherwise, Yinfeng City would have fallen long ago.” The black-armored burly man said.
Huangfu Yupo’s eyes flashed, then she commanded the Blood Lion Legion’s battleships to land in Yinfeng City.
Yinfeng City’s enchantment opened to let dozens of giant battleships landed in the city.
“Huangfu Yuan, you lead the array mage. Repair Yinfeng City’s enchantment as soon as possible and strengthen the city…”
“Huangfu Zhuo, gather the remaining military forces in the city…”
“Arrange 200 scouts within a hundred miles of Yinfeng City to prevent the a.s.sault from the Liu Family…”
A series of commands were issued in an orderly manner from Huangfu Yupo’s mouth. A quarter of an hour later, everyone in the Blood Lion Legion had left the giant ships and formed formations in Yinfeng City.
Liu Ming secretly lamented at the swift execution of the Blood Lion Legion. He had some new views on Huangfu Yupo’s methods.
Yinfeng City soon became busy. Huangfu Yupo seemed to be planning to build Yinfeng City into a strong fortress and use it as a base to regain lost territory.
After Huangfu Yupo issued a series of orders, she summoned the black-armored burly man to the city’s meeting hall. She must be inquiring about Yin State’s current situation.
Although the city was busy, Liu Ming felt very relaxed.
He was about to study the enchantment in the city when a purple escape light landed in front of him. It was Zhao Qianying.
“Liu… Master is looking for you.” Zhao Qianying glanced at Liu Ming with a shy look, not knowing what to call Liu Ming for a moment.
“Thank you, Miss Zhao. Do you know what’s the matter about?” Liu Ming was much more at ease. He just asked with a frown.
Among the Blood Lion Legion, there were various talents, and he was an outsider. Apart from his stronger fighting ability, he couldn’t be of much use at the moment.
“I don’t know.” Zhao Qianying shook her head.
Liu Ming frowned, then nodded and followed Zhao Qianying to a main hall in the city.
Huangfu Yupo was the only one in the main hall. She was thinking with her head down. She looked over when she heard footsteps.
“Family Master Liu, you seemed to be quite relaxed during the journey here.” Huangfu Yupo said with a faint smile.
Liu Ming had been riding on the ordinary flying ship with the ordinary demons. Huangfu Yupo and other senior commanders of the Blood Lion Legion had been on the Sun Moon Battleships.
In the past half month, they only met a few times.
“You’re welcome, Elder Yupo. I’m not a guest, but an ordinary soldier.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
Both sides exchanged a few polite words, then they sat down.
“Elder Yupo, is there anything for you to summon me?” After sitting down, Liu Ming went straight to the point.
“I have just discovered that the Liu Family’s rebel is stationed near Black Wind Mountain outside the city. We plan to ambush them before the Liu Family regroups.” Huangfu Yupo looked at Liu with a smile.
Liu Ming looked indifferent to hear this, but he was a little surprised in his mind.
He thought Huangfu Yupo was planning to set this city as a base to take back the lost territory slowly. He did not expect her to be so aggressive.
Liu Ming glanced at Zhao Qianying who was standing beside him, and an idea came to his mind.
Could it be that Huangfu Yupo wanted to earn some credit for Zhao Qianying?
When he was in the Imperial City, he noticed the internal struggles between the princes and princesses. Huangfu Yupo was naturally backing Zhao Qianying. If the Blood Lion Legion could make a contribution to resisting the Liu Family, it would naturally be a big help to Zhao Qianying.
After all, the position of crown prince was currently undecided. Both Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Jiangu were very likely to be selected by the Void Demonic Cauldron. If they acc.u.mulate more popularity at this time, they would be selected as the crown prince more easily in the future.
When Liu Ming thought of this, he just smiled and said nothing.
“I once heard from Ying’er that Family Master Liu is brave, resourceful, and thoughtful in Demon Abyss. I hope Family Master Liu can help in this ambush.” Seeing that Liu Ming’s expression remained indifferent, Huangfu Yupo continued.
“I will obey Elder Yupo’s command.” Liu Ming was thinking with an indifferent face as he cupped his fist and affirmed.
“Great, the Liu Family’s legion is nothing to be afraid of. The only threat is those demon corpses, but with the help of Family Master Liu, I believe those demon corpses are not a threat at all.” Huangfu Yupo said with a smile.
“Elder Yupo is thinking too highly of me. I’m just a Celestial State. If I can help Elder Yupo, I will do my best.” Liu Ming said calmly.
Huangfu Yupo was quite satisfied with Liu Ming’s att.i.tude. After talking for a while, she let Liu Ming step down.
“Master, are you really determined to take the initiative? The opponent is powerful. As long as we hold Yinfeng City and notify the reinforcements from the surrounding state counties to attack together, wouldn’t the chance of winning be greater?” Zhao Qianying waited for Liu Ming to leave and asked. road.
“Silly Ying’er, if we wait for others to come, won’t they take a share of the credit too? I’m confident enough to defeat the Liu Family’s legion outside the city. Even those demon corpses are a bit troublesome, but with that Liu Ming’s a.s.sistance, we should be enough to deal with them.” Huangfu Yupo said.
When Zhao Qianying heard this, her pair of long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said nothing more.
…
Liu Ming left the hall and came to Yinfeng City.
The Blood Lion Legion had begun to a.s.semble in the city. The original city defenders were scattered everywhere to repair the city’s protective enchantment.
“Hmm……”
Liu Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He felt a strange feeling as if someone was watching him in the dark.
He looked around while spreading his Divine Thought, but he didn’t notice anything strange at all.
But because of this, he was secretly frightened. His mental power had increased a lot recently. The primordial spirit in the sea of consciousness became more and more perfect, and his spiritual sense was extremely sharp. If someone was spying on him without being detected, the person must be a Mystic Comprehending State.
“It can’t be Huangfu Yupo. She doesn’t need to monitor me. Could it be that there are other Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse hidden in the Blood Lion Legion?” Liu Ming continued to move forward calmly while secretly guessing in his heart.
“Stop thinking about it. That person is sent by Huangfu Yong. He has been lurking aside and secretly monitoring you since you left the Demon Emperor Palace.” Mo Tian’s voice suddenly appeared in Liu Ming’s mind.
“You finally show up!” Liu Ming’s face froze, then he returned to normal and snorted in his mind.
Mo Tian chuckled and was not angry at Liu Ming’s att.i.tude.
“You said Huangfu Yong secretly sent a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse to monitor me? Who is that person? Do you have a clue?” Liu Ming asked directly.
He didn’t like the feeling of being watched.
“He is a confidant of Huangfu Yong. I didn’t expect that after so many years, he would also advance to the Mystic Comprehending State.” Mo Tian sneered.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked calmly with an indifferent face,
“Why did Huangfu Yong want a Mystic Comprehending State to monitor me? I don’t think I’m so important to him. Are you the one he is looking for?”
“You have my aura on you. My aura leaked out before you were summoned by the Void Demonic Cauldron. Huangfu Yong probably thought you might be my descendant based on this, so he sent that person to monitor you and also wanted to find out my whereabouts.” Mo Tian said faintly.
Liu Ming’s face turned grim, then he snorted, narrowed his eyes, and said,
“We may be attacked at any time by this Mystic Comprehending State in the dark. If you and I join forces, how sure do you think we can get rid of that person?”
“Don’t act rashly for now. You’re still in the Blood Lion Legion. Because of Huangfu Yupo, that person doesn’t dare to do anything to you. Let’s watch and see first.” Mo Tian said slowly.
Liu Ming frowned, but Mo Tian’s words made sense. Once they fought and let the man escape, he would establish a blood feud with the Huangfu Family.
The risk was too great.
Liu Ming walked around the city and returned to his temporary residence as if nothing had happened. He calmly waited for the time to set off for the ambush.
