"What are they wandering about for?"
Outside the formation, Ye Yi and others were a little surprised by the soldiers in the formation. They were like headless flies, running around everywhere. They were right in front of them, but they didn't chase them. This was a bit too strange.
Not only Ye Yi and the others, but also the pursuers behind them and the dragon knights above them, didn't understand what these people were doing.
This is the magic of the Qimen Formation. People who are not inside will never know what it feels like inside, what the scenery is like inside, or what kind of state they are in. And no matter what the outsiders say or do, the people inside can neither hear nor see!
Because of this, the people behind went straight in and wanted to scold the people inside, but in the end, they all got the same result.
The result was that more and more people were poisoned, and the people behind also realized that something was wrong and stopped going in, but by that time, most of the people had been held back.
But when they wanted to go around, they found that they had entered a new formation. Ye Lang had penetrated the formation to both sides and even surrounded the entire army!
After seeing this situation, the Dragon Knight didn't know whether he should continue chasing. If he didn't chase, as long as Ye Gui and others escaped from the actual control of the Xiangkong Empire, they would not be able to chase them anymore, because the Dragon Knights were not allowed to cross the border unless there were special circumstances, and only a few people could leave the country.
Well, even if a few of us can leave the country and catch up with Ye Yi, what should we do? Can we defeat a Heaven-level master?
So, either give up directly, or go down and block them, hoping that the people behind can escape this predicament, but how long will it take them to escape? Judging from the situation - it won't be possible to escape for a while!
"Forget it! Let's go back and call for help. If we only focus on capturing them and let the hundreds of thousands of people below die in vain, our losses will be even greater!" the dragon knights' captain said solemnly. "Yes!" the dragon knights replied, seeming relieved. It seemed that they didn't really want to fight Ye Yi and the others, but were simply bound by the emperor's orders!
If one were to examine it closely, one would surely discover that not only were the pursuers unwilling to kill, but Ye and the others were also holding back. Throughout these days of flight, they spared no one if possible. Therefore, this escape seems quite intriguing! While the Emperor's orders were difficult to disobey, they could pretend to obey them, yet they could secretly disobey them!
Regardless, Ye Lang's abilities this time were terrifying. If it weren't for the Soaring Sky Empire suppressing the news, Ye Lang would have become the focus of the entire continent. "What are you talking about? You're saying Ye Lang single-handedly held off everyone, both before and after?" Zhao Yarou, now the Empress, looked at the Dragon Knight captain in shock. The "before and after" she was referring to was the large army that had previously pursued Ye Lang and his group, plus the border garrison!
"Yes! He used an alchemical formation that had never been seen before to surround everyone inside. They kept turning around inside, but could not get out of his alchemical formation! But fortunately, the people inside were safe. His alchemical formation only surrounded people and had no other killing power!" The dragon knight captain replied respectfully.
"Everyone, all of them combined, how many people do you think there are?" Zhao Yane asked, frowning. She wasn't unaware of the question, but like everyone else, sometimes even though she already knew the answer, she still had to ask again, hoping for confirmation from others. "A total of 180,000 people!" "180,000 people, held back by him alone? How can anyone believe this?" Zhao Yarou muttered, almost to herself. "No one can believe it, but it's the truth. That's why we couldn't complete Her Majesty's mission," the Dragon Knight Captain said, waiting for an opportunity. "I understand. Without the assistance of those 180,000 people, it would be difficult to stop them, and they might even suffer losses. That's not what I wanted to see," Zhao Yarou said. "You did the right thing. There's no need to blame yourselves!" Although Zhao Yane was a bit crazy and eccentric, he was a man who knew right from wrong.
"The most urgent task now is to find a way to rescue those 180,000 people. If we delay any longer, who knows what will happen! There are no garrisons on the border now, and the defense is empty. If the enemy finds out, it will be very troublesome!" This is also the main reason why the dragon knight came back.
Ye Lang was holding back the 180,000-man army in order to escape, but among these troops were those guarding the border. Any nation would have needed to take emergency measures if they were held back like this. "Take the Royal Alchemist with you immediately. Hopefully, they can figure out a way to break the chain!" Zhao Yarou immediately ordered the Royal Alchemist to come over and have the Dragon Knight lead them.
While waiting, Zhao Yaqin seemed to be absent-minded.
