After assigning tasks to the True Martial Beast, Jiang Yuan gave orders to the other two teams, while the others continued their actions as usual.
As for why he did this, the reason is simple: he was going to take action against the alien race.
Having been hiding for so long, he was filled with murderous intent. He would not make a move unless he did, but once he did, he would make the alien race suffer.
"Master, we are about to enter the landing range. We are still a thousand miles away from the Hengduan Mountains."
The tomb maiden meticulously reported the details to Jiang Yuan. Although she was also puzzled as to why her master would risk his life for some lowly creatures, since it was her master's decision, she would carry it out without hesitation.
"It's the Holy Spirit Clan again. I wonder if you're even here!"
A sinister smile crept onto Jiang Yuan's lips. He had completely placed himself on the opposite side of the Holy Spirit Clan, so even if Bu Yao appeared, she would be an enemy general.
"Go down first, I'll try to establish a connection with the Death Knight."
Jiang Yuan spread his Holy Demon Wings and brought An Xiaoyu to the Hengduan Mountains, with the Tomb Maiden following closely behind.
The Hengduan Mountains are a very important part of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and also one of the few north-south mountain ranges in the land of Kyushu. The Hengduan Mountains are also part of the world's main vein system that runs through China, which is why Jiang Yuan knows so much about the Hengduan Mountains.
The Eternal Holy Body spends his free time studying the entire World Vein within the Source. If he claims to be second in understanding the World Vein on the Emperor Star, then apart from the World Vein itself, no one else is qualified to claim that.
"Jiang Jun, Qiu Ya, can you hear me?"
The Death Knights are led by Jiang Jun, while the Minotaur are led by Kuang Kai and Priest Qiu Yun, so finding them is the most convenient way.
Because Jiang Jun and Jiang Yuan have a reincarnation relationship, Jiang Jun responded immediately when he issued the summons, but his tone revealed a deep weariness.
"Big brother, you finally found me." Jiang Jun was panting heavily, which was completely different from his usual habit of sleeping all the time.
How many Death Knights are left?
Jiang Yuan wasn't entirely optimistic. The Death Knights and Tauren had been under siege for two days, and they must have suffered heavy casualties. Right now, he could only hope that it wasn't too late.
"Five thousand left!" Jiang Jun said with some disappointment. He had risked his life to save these five thousand people; otherwise, there would have been no more.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. What about the Tauren race?" Jiang Yuan was more concerned about the Tauren race because each Death Knight left a mark on his reincarnation, and since they were undead, resurrection didn't require much effort. But the Tauren race was different; they were flesh-and-blood beings, and resurrecting a Tauren was far more troublesome than resurrecting a Death Knight of the same level.
"Twenty thousand people came, and now fifteen thousand remain, but almost all of them have lost their fighting ability. It's only thanks to Qiu Yun's awakening of the Minotaur High Priest's Earth Gift ability that these Minos have been able to hold out for so long," Jiang Jun explained for Qiu Yun.
He worried that Qiu Yun and the others wouldn't tell the truth, because this place was already a dead end, and anyone from the outside joining would only be throwing their lives away. So Qiu Yun and the others might refuse Jiang Yuan entry. But as the most loyal supporter of Death, he would choose to believe his master even in the most desperate situation.
"How much longer can you hold out?" Jiang Yuan's eyes blazed with fury; he could imagine the horrific scene unfolding in the Hengduan Mountains.
The fact that the Minotaur race, so warlike, was still defeated to the point that all of them were rendered unable to fight clearly indicates that the alien race exerted immense pressure on them.
"Three hours at most." Jiang Jun didn't hide anything, and after saying that, he gave a wry smile and said, "Big brother, I'm actually very grateful to you. I, a water bear, have lived for hundreds of millions of years, but I've never lived as excitingly as this one year. So, I won't let you down. I will fight the Death Knight to the last moment of my life!"
"Stop talking nonsense and send me the map of the alien races' defenses in the Hengduan Mountains that you know." Jiang Yuan's face was devoid of any smile.
The people here are all fighting for him; how could he sit idly by?
"Great Chieftain, please don't come. This place is already a death trap for you. We Tauren will remember that we were once the most loyal followers of power, and we will die without regret." Qiu Yun looked haggard, but even so, she still refused Jiang Yuan's request to go and rescue them.
Surrounded and beyond saving, this was war, not a game where a fit of rage could turn the tide.
The Hengduan Mountains have become a millstone-like formation, and the foreign tribes are also planning to besiege the enemy's stronghold and then attack their reinforcements. Therefore, the addition of foreign troops will only make this war millstone turn even faster.
"Alright, everyone quiet down. Now, use your starships to build the last line of defense and use their energy to locate and await support! Also, I'm warning you, destroying the ship is acceptable, but losing your lives is not."
Jiang Yuan gave the two orders in an unquestionable manner.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun's expression became somewhat excited. He knew his master's character well; he was a man of his word. Since he had spoken, it meant he could definitely do it.
"Great Chieftain, what is our support?" Kuang Kai emerged from among the minotaurs.
"I'm all alone!"
After finishing his sentence, Jiang Yuan continued with a deep gaze, "But it's better than a thousand troops!"
...
"Archers, I want Jiang Yuan's followers to die slowly in fear!"
The Hengduan Mountains are now littered with corpses. It's not that the Death Knights and Tauren could hold out for so long, but rather that the alien races here wanted them to hold out for so long.
The alien race's only target was Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan had not yet appeared, so killing more people would be futile. The best option would be to force him to show himself by torturing his followers.
