"The retreating soldiers witnessed a battle between powerful cultivators. It seemed that Leader Lei Qing...had lost!"
Lost? Damn it! There really is a martial artist among the enemies. Why is Lei Qing so unlucky?
Hey! Doesn't the Thunder God Tribe also have a martial artist-level Tianshi? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this primitive world is too abundant, and there is no shortage of spiritual stone resources. It seems normal for a martial artist-level cultivator to appear.
"You, tell me about the battle between the immortal cultivators that you saw." Lu Yin called in a defeated soldier who had returned from Qiuhai City.
Ma Yue listened carefully.
"Okay, you've worked hard too!" Ma Yue sent the defeated soldier away.
From the general description of the defeated brothers, the battle between Lei Qing and his opponent was not overwhelmingly one-sided, that is to say, Lei Qing's opponent was still at the martial artist level.
Whether you are a mid-level martial artist or a more powerful martial artist in the late stage of cultivation, in the end, your cultivation is still a big level. If you are at the same big level, even if you defeat a martial artist, it will be very difficult for him to kill the martial artist.
Lei Qing has done some research on his 'Wind Step' light body technique. Although his flexibility is still lacking, his speed is improving rapidly. If he can't fight, why not run?
What Ma Yue was most worried about was that Lei Qing would foolishly insist on insisting on doing so in order to cover the retreat of more troops.
The many defeated soldiers had no idea what the final outcome would be.
"I believe Lei Qing will be fine."
Hai Rui and Lu Yin could only hope so. They didn't really understand the battles between immortal cultivators.
"Where are the dustpan and chrysanthemum?"
"Boji and Juju followed Lei Qing in the retreat and died in battle. Shanyao and Tiedan were responsible for organizing the early retreat and have returned."
Two more Sea Tribe elders had died. They had all grown up in the tribe and had been nurtured for years. Tieshi, He, and Lan had died in a shipwreck, and now Boji and Ju had also been killed in action. Ma Yue disliked the news of the deaths of those he knew. People are sentimental, and it's only natural that old brothers have more affection.
"Lu Yin, your fleet is coming back just like that? The coalition forces in Ghost City have a lot of ships to transport troops."
"You charlatan, their boats can barely navigate the river." Lu Yin said this, and Ma Yue roughly understood. How could sailing on a river be the same as sailing on the sea?
"Did you come back upstream?" Ma Yue continued to ask.
"Yes, if we go upstream slowly, the sailing ship can still sail now." Lu Yin said.
"You damned ghost town, do you really think our Hai Tribe is a pushover?" Ma Yue was furious. "Xia Wu, send a message to the North and South branches, each dispatching a regular cavalry battalion. Upon receiving the transfer order, return as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xia Wu took the sheepskin transfer order signed by Ma Yue and asked someone to pass the order.
"Shui Chong, how many troops does Haifan City have now?"
"Two thousand regular soldiers and one thousand deputy soldiers can still be deployed." Shuichong seemed to understand what Ma Yue meant. "The remaining regular and deputy soldiers will not be a problem in defending the city."
"good!"
"Hai Rui, immediately gather as many naval vessels as possible, whether they are new sailing ships or old-fashioned ships. Take as many as you can. I want to lead the team to attack Ghost Town myself!"
"Yes!" When they heard that the expedition was not to Qiuhai City but to Ghost City, everyone understood instantly.
Damn it! You've gathered tens of thousands of able-bodied men, how much defense force is left in this ghost town? Charlatan, wise!
"Third Priest, prepare half of the whale oil in Haifan City's inventory. I will take it away when I lead the team to the expedition."
"I'll prepare it right away." This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the three priests have no choice but to do it.
"Grey Wolf, the team preparing for the expedition needs to be organized. This time, you will come with me."
"Shuichong, the family is relying on you."
Ma Yue issued orders one after another.
This time, the Hai Tribe planned to send only 3,000 regular soldiers and 1,000 auxiliary soldiers. Is that too few? Compared to a 10,000-man army, it's a small number. But even if you count them individually, it's a massive force.
Is Ghost Town far? Yes. However, the allied forces from Ghost Town were transported to Qiuhai City by water, which was even farther. On the way, they had to switch rivers countless times before reaching the upper reaches of Qiuhai City.
It's easy to come, but you are too slow to go back.
Ma Yue didn't need to wait for the regular troops from the north and south divisions. It would take six days to go back and forth, and he couldn't afford to wait.
Haifan City's huge war mobilization machine started up. Within a day, the ships and soldiers who needed to go to the battle were ready to continue.
Haifan City was empty, so Ma Yue had to take a gamble. The cavalry from the northern and southern divisions would arrive in Haifan City in five days. What was there to be afraid of? Haifan City didn't just have regular and auxiliary troops. When needed, men, women, young and old could all go up to the city to defend against the enemy.
The west gate of Haifan City has been closed, so the news will definitely not get out.
Ma Yue boarded the sailing ship for the expedition. There were only 500 soldiers left in the organized troops of Haifan City. Ma Yue believed that Shuichong could hold on.
It just so happens that the ocean current is on my way. Allied forces in the ghost town, I am now going to compete with you in speed. Whether I can make good use of this time difference... depends on fate!
Ma Yue never underestimates the leader of primitive people, but primitive people are primitive people after all. What military tactics do you really know?
Sailing is lonely, and as time passes day by day, Ma Yue is no longer afraid of the sea. He even likes the sea because of his advanced understanding of "walking on the waves".
"You charlatan, the old-style sea vessels are still quite slow." Hai Rui said.
"In that case, cavalry won't be very useful for a siege. Hai Rui, the old-fashioned sea ship, a thousand wildebeests, and soldiers are now in your hands. Shan Yao and Tie Dan, you two will assist Hai Rui."
Let's just divide our forces, all to save time.
