Chapter 705 I’m not willing to give in!

I put away the telescope. It seems that they won’t catch up with us for the time being.

General Jiang was standing nearby, extremely anxious and eager to know the details.

Liao Jiu said, "Let's talk inside."

The group came to the meeting hall and Liao Jiu recounted the details.

General Jiang was shocked. "A warrior of the eighth level appeared in their Aquarius country? Are you sure?"

Liao Jiu said, "Probably not. He is extremely powerful! He is already invulnerable to swords and spears! He should be above the eighth level, maybe even the ninth level."

General Jiang said hurriedly, "No, no, no, it's impossible to be in the Ninth Realm. Ninth Realm experts can't be reached in one go. It takes eight realms to be promoted for a long time. If their Aquarius Country already has an Eighth Realm expert, it's impossible for them to be content with being called a small country. He must be a newcomer. As for your invulnerability and lightning speed, they are also characteristics of Eighth Realm experts. If he is in the Ninth Realm, he will be even stronger! If he is in the Ninth Realm, you two wouldn't have come back so easily today. Also, if you had come back, he would have caught up with you immediately. He doesn't dare to catch up now, which means he is not in the Ninth Realm..."

That makes sense.

Jiang Lianzhu thought for a moment, "I saw him, and he looks somewhat similar to that Gu Qie. Could he be a member of the Gu family from Aquarius?"

"That's it! Gu Yu! The Gu family is a meritorious family in Aquarius Country. Gu Yu is Gu Qie's father. Gu Qie also has an elder brother named Gu Rang. Gu Yu is a warrior of the seventh realm in Aquarius Country. He should be the one who has been promoted to the eighth realm!" Old General Jiang has been guarding Yuecheng for many years and is familiar with the Gu family.

I've studied it and know it like the back of my hand.

General Jiang spat, "Damn Gu Yu, he actually broke through to the Eighth Realm. He's already over sixty, but he was able to break through. I really didn't expect that. At his age, it's generally difficult for him to get promoted. But once he gets promoted, it means he has a strong and solid foundation, stronger than the average Eighth Realm cultivator. He might even be at the late Eighth Realm. Now, we're really in trouble. No wonder the Aquarius Kingdom was able to gather the other countries together. They relied on the Eighth Realm warriors to be confident in dealing with our Da'an Kingdom. That's why they took the Aquarius Kingdom as the leader and were willing to send out strong soldiers and generals to attack our Da'an Kingdom..."

Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and agreed.

There are many reasons why they are so confident.

Now, Yuecheng has no support, and the city defense force is not enough to resist the 100,000 troops outside, and now an eighth-level strongman has arrived.

Moon City...is in danger!!

Their plan today was to go there even though they knew there was a tiger there. Moreover, they wanted to kill the two of them, so weren't the two of them also going there with the intention of killing them?

One is to explore the enemy situation and see what their strength is.

Second, if the situation permits, we should capture the leader first, kill a few of their leaders first, and cause chaos in their army.

The general Zhu Hanguo surnamed Liu had already been killed, and they could have taken advantage of the chaos to kill two more, but suddenly Gu Yu arrived!

The two of them could only come back first and talk about it later.

A strong man like Gu Yu is hundreds of times more useful than any crossbow cart or gunpowder cart.

If any crossbow carts or gunpowder carts dare to approach the city gate, Jiang Lianzhu can accurately blow them up on the city wall.

But there is nothing a powerful man in the eighth realm who is invulnerable to swords and guns can do.

IR can automatically track and lock onto the target for a sneak attack, but its effect on the eighth level strongmen is limited, and sometimes it cannot even break the defense.

Heavy artillery and bombs are powerful, but they cannot lock onto the target, have poor flexibility, and cannot hit the target at all, wasting shells.

The problem is indeed quite serious.

Liao Jiu said, "General Jiang, the situation has changed. We may have to change our plan as well. If we can't defend Yuecheng, we can put it aside for now. Which city is behind Yuecheng?"

General Jiang was unwilling to give in, but there was nothing he could do.

The situation was getting worse than they had imagined.

If we retreat now, we can still preserve some strength and avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

"Tongcheng is eighty miles away. The refugees are probably already there..."

Liao Jiu discussed the withdrawal of troops with General Jiang. Jiang Lianzhu paced back and forth beside them, feeling indescribably anxious.

She needs time!

Her arsenal was still too small, and she needed time to stock up.

If they hadn't had this Eighth Realm expert, they could have held out until the Blood Battle Army from Shangrao City arrived. Now that this Eighth Realm expert had suddenly arrived, she and Liao Jiu could only barely handle him alone. How could they defend the rest of the city? With an army of 100,000, Yuecheng had less than 10,000 soldiers. With limited city defenses, it was impossible to hold on.

Just retreat like this!? ? !

The first battle, retreating before it even started?

I'm not willing to give in!

When this news reached the capital, everyone was disappointed and discouraged. It was a bad start!

It will cause unrest in the capital.

The people are worried.

Also, if you give up, people will still chase you!

If they catch up, even the city defenses will be gone. What will happen to so many soldiers? What about the civilians who haven't been evacuated yet?

Jiang Lianzhu was in a state of confusion.

Yuecheng, we still can’t retreat!

Just then, a young general came in to report.

"Report to the General! The imperial army's grain and fodder support team has arrived!"

Jiang Lianzhu suddenly became energetic!

She was a little unconvinced, "So fast, who is leading the team?"

The reporting officer bowed deeply to Jiang Lianzhu and said, "Your Excellency the Regent, this is a group led by a general named Zhou Yuan. General Zhou said he arrived ahead of time, and the main force is still behind. He also said he brought some food and fodder with him."

Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu looked at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes.

According to their estimated date, the food and fodder team could not have arrived so early. How did Zhou Yuan do it so quickly?

If he...

General Jiang was also surprised. "This... the imperial grain team arrived quite quickly, but the current situation..."

Coming here is not a good thing.

We need to retreat urgently!

The food cart moves slowly...

If you can't run fast, you're just delivering food to the enemy...

You will bleed from head to toe!

"Forget it, let's go and take a look."

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu could no longer sit still and had already walked out the door.

***

Aquarius military camp.

The soldiers outside were cleaning up the mess, and the atmosphere in the newly built coach's tent was tense.

The old man who was a powerful eighth-level warrior sat at the very top.

Gu Qie and the others stood on both sides in turn, with their heads bowed. In the center lay the body of General Liu, the chief general of Zhu Han State.

The body was already cold. He had been stabbed several times and was covered in blood. The blood had solidified and looked scarlet and hideous.

There were two deputy generals of Zhu Hanguo guarding the corpse, both angry and sad.

But he dared not speak, and dared not express his anger.

Because the old man sitting in the upper seat was angry at the moment.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did it get so bad? Two little brats killed your commander in the midst of an army of 100,000?"

The other people hung their heads and didn't dare to answer.
