Chapter 1763 - 1763 The Conspiracy Continues, Fearless
1763 The Conspiracy Continues, Fearless
There were more than ten thousand people, and they covered the mountains and plains, not to mention the million-strong army stationed in one place. It was truly endless, and the tents were lined up like a long dragon. Grand Xia was very generous this time around. A million elite troops gathered in the Hundred Thousand Mountains could be described as Mount Tai bearing down. As the only garrison force that had been mobilized, the soldiers of Baotai were not treated much better in their tents. Basically, the civilian camp was next to them.
But Chu Yunfan didn’t care. After settling down the troops, he left the tent and flew into the sky. He looked down at the entire battlefield. At this time, the entire battlefield was already filled with flames. The situation on the battlefield was chaotic.
The army of Grand Xia understood that they were only here to wipe out some of the demon tribes and reduce the potential of the demons’ starting an uprising. Therefore, they did not advance rashly, so the speed of the army’s advancement was not fast.
On the battlefield, elite troops were fighting one after another. Many incomparably powerful monsters were rampaging on the battlefield. However, what made Chu Yunfan feel a little eye-opening was that these monsters had their own way of advancing and retreating. They were like an army and were very impressive. These monsters were an army, just not in human form.
Behind these monster armies were also humanoid demon experts. However, they had yet to make a move. Up until now, the experts of Grand Xia and the demons could only be considered to be testing each other. The real battle had yet to erupt.
At the same time, at the core of the endless Grand Xia army camp.
Li Qianyuan, who was wearing bright silver armor, sat on the armchair. Below him, several figures had already gathered. These people were also wearing armor, and each of them had a fierce aura.
“My lord, we’ve received news that Chu Yunfan has arrived with the Baotai garrison,” one of them said.
Li Qianyuan supported his chin with one hand and tapped the armrest of the armchair rhythmically with the other.
“That b*stard is still alive. That means Gongsun Liang really failed!” someone said in surprise.
When they first received the news, they were almost in disbelief. Although Gongsun Liang had just joined them not long ago, he was still a genuine Cosmic. How could he be killed by Chu Yunfan just like that? If it weren’t for the fact that they had solid intelligence to support them, they would have dismissed it as ridiculous. This made them feel shocked by Chu Yunfan’s strength.
“I don’t know how that b*stard did this. My lord, please let the Iron Spears take action. Chu Yunfan dared to kill one of our disciples, so I will spill his blood in return!” a middle-aged man in armor said as his eyes flashed with fierce killing intent.
Like Gongsun Liang, this man was a disciple of the Iron Spear Gang, and they had a good relationship. Even Gongsun Liang joining Li Qianyuan was related to him.
In this man’s opinion, Gongsun Liang was sent to complete a simple mission. A mere Interpreter. How difficult could this be considered?
Who knew that a simple mission that was not worth mentioning in their eyes made Gongsun Liang suffer a crushing defeat?
“No, Li Yu. You’ve long been recorded in the army of Grand Xia. If someone sees you, it’ll immediately implicate, Marquis Huntian,” someone immediately objected.
“I won’t have to do it myself. The Iron Spears has a martial uncle named Luo Zhao. He has been in seclusion for many years. Everyone thinks he’s dead. No one knows he’s still alive. I’ve already sent him a message and he’s on his way. When martial uncle Luo takes action, that b*stard won’t be able to escape!” Li Yu said through gritted teeth.
“Senior Luo Zhao is still alive. It’s widely rumored that he had already pa.s.sed away,” someone exclaimed. He clearly knew who Luo Zhao was. “Senior Luo is a veteran Cosmic. Chu Yunfan won’t be able to escape this time!”
Everyone looked at Li Qianyuan and lowered their heads. Outside, they were all high and mighty masters, but when facing Li Qianyuan, they did not dare to show any disrespect.
After a long time, Li Qianyuan opened his eyes and said, “Li Yu, I’ll leave this matter to you. I want Chu Yunfan dead before the end of the spring sweep. I’ll be heading to Pingyao to attend the sweep meeting organized by the Grand Commandant. However, I’ll have someone transfer Chu Yunfan to the most dangerous place. If he dies in the hands of the demons, that’ll be for the best.
“I want his head, Li Yu. Once your martial uncle finishes the task, I will reward him with a Longevity Pill that can extend his life by ten years. Don’t disappoint me.”
Upon hearing Li Qianyuan’s words, everyone began to breathe rapidly. They were cultivators who cultivated day and night. In addition to obtaining powerful strength, increasing their lifespan was also their pursuit. Even so, they often felt that time was not enough. Although it was only ten years of life extension, which was not considered long compared to their lifespan, they might make another breakthrough in these ten years, and their lifespan would greatly improve. Not to mention Luo Zhao, an old fellow that everyone thought had pa.s.sed away. Ten years of lifespan was enough to make him go crazy.
In the Baotai camp, a messenger rode in on a warhorse.
“Where is the garrison leader of Baotai?”
Chu Yunfan flew down from the sky. “Reporting for duty.”
“These are your military orders. Lead the Baotai troop to the northwest of the army and serve as the scouts. Investigate the situation and kill all the demons you find.”
After the messenger gave the order, he immediately turned his horse around and went elsewhere to deliver orders.
“This truly is Li Qianyuan’s doing. He intends to send us, a third-line troop, to be scouts. He’s using public tools for private use. His intentions are sinister!” You Chuyun said fiercely.
Everyone knew Li Qianyuan’s sinister intentions. Usually, those who would be transferred to be scouts must be the elites of the elites. Otherwise, if they encountered the enemy scouts, they would definitely be defeated.
Furthermore, the scouts were far away from the Grand Xia army and were p.r.o.ne to mishaps. It’d be difficult to predict what would happen when the time came, so the scouts usually suffered the greatest losses.
“It’s fine. He wants us to die, but do you think we will do as he wishes?” Chu Yunfan said.
