Liu Lang also set off on the road.
In this operation, Han Fangfang and her team will assist Mechanical King and Zhai Chi in direct confrontation. Liu Lang, who was supposed to replace Ni Jun, has been temporarily recruited by Chu Tai.
Because it was a covert operation, many of the routes taken were unconventional.
They can leave without tools, but they need supernatural energy to support them.
However, there is a large army of monsters nearby, so using superpowers outside would be as bright as a beacon in the dark!
Given that Liu Lang was able to create so many attribute-enhancing equipment in such a short time, he must have been able to quickly craft suitable equipment to overcome the various difficult and dangerous terrains he encountered along the way.
That's why he was chosen.
"The next few days are up to you."
Chu Tai left his military orders at the East Gate.
Although the Supreme Elders of the Huainan City Sect will come to oversee the defense, the main force will still be the Mechanical King and the military region troops.
Before Chu Tai and the others return, they can only rely on the deputy general who stayed behind and on themselves.
As the battle cries rang out from the East Gate, Chu Tai ordered his five thousand men to enter through the difficult-to-access forest beside the gate.
After eliminating the monster sentries left behind, everyone disappeared into the forest.
One day later...
Xie Ran smashed the seven-star peak magical beast in front of him with a single punch.
This was the strongest magical beast in the vicinity. He looked at Liu Lang, who was still setting up a cloud ladder in the distance, with some mental fatigue.
Even though they haven't encountered the main force of the monsters along the way, the closer they get to this valley, the more monsters they encounter. It seems that as long as they cross this mountain, they will be able to find friendly forces.
Even so, the support force, consisting of 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 convicts, still suffered heavy casualties.
When they came out, there were 10,000 people, but now there are only 8,000 left.
Before even seeing friendly forces, they had already lost nearly one-fifth of their personnel.
"We're well hidden; the monsters haven't noticed us."
Chu Tai, who had come to the mountain peak to scout ahead of Dice King Tang Ningchuan, was also watching the army of monsters that were fiercely attacking the entrance to the valley in the distance.
However, this valley is a natural defensive terrain, and the leading officer, standing on a Tai Chi symbol, was actually fighting against five opponents at the entrance.
That's some fighting power!
Chu Tai's eyes lit up. If they could save this friendly force, they would be qualified to launch a counterattack.
"Boss Chu Tai, don't be too happy yet. Let's take a look at the other side first."
Dice King Tang Ningchuan curled his lip and cast his gaze toward the valley.
Chu Tai's expression also hardened as he saw that monsters were attacking from within the friendly forces' own ranks.
Although two officers were doing their best to hold off the enemy at the front, the rear was gradually falling.
It seems they arrived not too late; now is the perfect time to strike.
"Lady Luck is on our side. It's time to join forces with our allies and break through the main gate!"
Chu Tai didn't sense the aura of any other eight-star magical beasts. It seemed those beasts hadn't chosen to gather at this narrow entrance. As for where those eight-star magical beasts had gone...
Does it matter?
Just as Chu Tai and the others were preparing to descend the mountain, Liu Lang was already planning their route back.
Cough cough, I didn't expect that because of the terrain, the route that might have been easy to take to get here before would not be so easy to return.
Especially the journey after leaving the forest and entering the valley, I don't know what happened today. When we came, we could go down the slope and walk on flat ground with the help of the wind.
When he turned around, the mountain path behind him was swallowed by fog. The damp environment made the path he had come from muddy. All the previous markers were buried by rubble. What he found even more incomprehensible was that he had walked with his back to the sun when he came, and at that time he could still identify his direction by the shadows of the trees in the forest.
But now... although the valley below is shrouded in mist, the sun is blazing overhead, and the rain and dew have not yet dissipated, so the rocky peaks are covered in dew. One wrong step and you could fall down.
Liu Lang's role in this operation was also very clear: to provide equipment and to be responsible for the round-trip evacuation.
If it were just a few people, dozens of people, or even hundreds of people, Liu Lang wouldn't need to worry; they could take care of themselves.
However, it's a different story with tens of thousands of people. In addition, this is an unconventional route, and if they are intercepted by monsters, there will be no way to retreat. Therefore, the route back must be planned carefully.
While Liu Lang was busy building the long bridge, Chu Tai had already led Tang Ningchuan and Xie Ran down the mountain.
They also led half of their men to launch a surprise attack from this direction.
As for the other four thousand men, they need to find some places that are easy to defend and retreat to as soon as possible.
These are the people who need to stay behind to cover everyone's retreat. After that, it's the familiar rounds of retreat.
In the valley below...
With his feet planted on the Tai Chi symbol, Wei Sha single-handedly confronted the five eight-star magical beasts before him. These eight-star magical beasts were on high alert, for this human was no ordinary Dragon Kingdom person. Although the magical beast race was generally considered inferior to the demons and humans of the same level, the difference in strength could not possibly be this great.
This guy... he can handle 1v5 with ease, and there's also Casey. His other companions, who are hiding in the shadows, are all keeping a close eye on him. If a human is already so troublesome, once this human makes a move, it will be a decisive battle on the top battlefield.
They wouldn't take such a risk, even though they had already sent the Raiders and Flying Beasts to raid the humans' rear.
They're not in a hurry; they can just slowly deplete their resources.
"Wisa, our back row..."
