Chapter 416 The route was cut off

Less than two hours.

Lin You and his companions returned to the Holy Land, and with the help of Situ Jian's connections, they successfully sold the Origin Crystal and exchanged it for the Orb of Faith.

According to the agreed distribution plan, Lin You received 2,000 points of faith and two eighth-level territory essences.

Together with the Origin Fruit he had snatched, his outing today could be said to have been fruitful, and his power of faith had finally successfully broken through the 30,000 mark.

"Okay, the things have been distributed, and I should go back to the territory."

"Lin You, don't forget my equipment."

After saying goodbye to each other, Yan Lie and Situ Jian teleported away.

Lin You walked around the platform and found nothing useful, so he returned to the territory.

After using up the Orb of Faith, he left the territory and handed over the ninth-level materials given to him by Yan Lie to the dwarf tribe, asking them to help make them into equipment.

On the way back, we stopped by the edge of the Gobi Desert to see that construction of the defense checkpoint had already begun.

Under the dispatch of Xue Changgui, construction teams were transporting materials and building city walls and fortifications at a rapid pace.

There were even many dwarves who were good at construction and came over to help spontaneously.

The entire edge of the Gobi Desert presents a lively scene.

Before the new outpost was built, Wei Gang led the guards to patrol outside, responsible for resisting the incoming beast tide.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Seeing that there was no big problem, Lin You felt at ease and headed back to the territory.

But I don't want to.

As soon as I returned to the outside of the territory, I ran into Xu Zhongzheng wandering outside with an anxious look on his face.

"My Lord! You are finally back!"

Seeing Lin You appear, Xu Zhong's face lit up with joy and he hurried over to greet him.

"What happened?"

Lin You flipped over and jumped off the back of the Demon Emperor Dragon.

"Something big has happened!" Xu Zhong said anxiously, "Our two airships to Yuehua Country should have returned in the morning, but now it's already afternoon and they haven't returned yet, and there's no news from Yuehua Country."

"Not a single one came back?" Lin You frowned.

Each of his routes is basically equipped with two magic airships.

If only one plane didn't come back, it might be delayed because of something.

But if none of them come back, then it probably won’t be that simple.

The flight route is related to the economic development of his territory and cannot be taken lightly.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Immediately arrange an airship and call a few people to rush over with me to check the situation."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now!" Xu Zhong hurriedly took the order and left.

Lin You hurried back to the territory, made some preparations, and then rushed to the flying dock with all the troops except Qing Teng.

In Yuehua Principality, the person who opened the flight route with him was Cheng Pu, an old lord of the eighth rank whom he met when he was recruiting new lords.

It is also an important link for his trade with the Yuehua Principality.

Without this trade route, he would inevitably lose a huge amount of capital and population inflow, so he naturally could not sit idly by.

Moreover, there have been no major problems in the more than two months since the route was opened. But now they suddenly say that the airship has not returned. Something must have happened.

soon.

Lin You rode the Demon Emperor Dragon to the flying dock.

Xu Zhong is worthy of being the old steward of Huangsha City. In such a short time, he has already assembled a team of well-equipped eighth-level guards and is ready to fight at the dock.

The huge scene immediately attracted passers-by to stop and point from a distance.

"Are you all ready?"

Lin You rolled over and landed in front of Xu Zhong.

"Your Excellency, we are ready and can set off at any time."

Xu Zhong bowed respectfully.

The guards standing next to him held their heads high and chests puffed out, each with excitement on his face.

The guards on the other airships cast envious glances, their eyes red with jealousy.

What kind of shit luck did these guys have that they could actually go out with the Lord! If they had known this, they would have taken over their shifts on the airship today.

After all, this is a rare opportunity to perform in front of the lord, and many people want it but cannot.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin You glanced at them and slowly walked up the stairs to the airship.

"Set off!"

Xu Zhong shouted and hurriedly followed with his guards.

He has always been in charge of the flight route, so he came along as well.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the airship slowly took off, left the dock and flew towards the direction of Yuehua Kingdom, gradually leaving Huangsha City behind.

"My Lord, it takes more than two hours to get to Chixiao City from here. Would you like to rest in the cabin first?"

Xu Zhong came up to Lin You and spoke respectfully.

Chixiao City is Cheng Pu's territory, located between Yuehua Principality and Dahuang Principality, with an endless mountain range in between. It is adjacent to Tianyan Principality where Maghen and his companions were originally staying.

Looking back now, Lin You hasn't entered this mountain range for a long time.

With the speed of the magic airship, it would take some time to cross the mountains, so he did not stay on the deck any longer and went to the cabin to rest.

Just like that, amid the roar of the thrusters.

The magic airship flew over the mountains and passed through the hurricane belt in the center of the mountains.

Finally, two hours later, we entered the territory of Yuehua Kingdom, a country mainly composed of plains and hills.

Among the ten principalities of the Shengyao Empire, the Yuehua Principality ranks among the top three in terms of national strength, and its king is a very powerful beast lord.

The king of the tenth level is called the Saint level.

Many people say that the strength of a king can be vaguely seen from the topography of a country.

For a country like Yuehua Principality, which is mainly plains and has fertile land, it goes without saying that its national strength must be much stronger than other principalities.

The Great Wilderness Principality is fine.

Although the land is mostly barren, it is rich in minerals.

The situation of Liuhuo Principality and Tianyan Principality is much worse. Not only are they covered by large areas of volcanoes and have a harsh environment, but they have also just changed their kings. It is not easy for them to catch up with the other principalities in a short period of time.

Lin You stood on the edge of the deck, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers passing by below, and couldn't help feeling envious.

If he had been assigned to the Yuehua Principality at the beginning, the situation would probably be different, right?

"My Lord, the Scarlet Sky City is just ahead."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Just as I was thinking about it, Xu Zhong's voice suddenly came from the side.

Lin You looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a huge city sitting on the plain at the end of his sight. The surrounding roads were well connected and transportation was convenient.

There is even a river running through it, and the geographical location is much better than that of Huangsha City. He is truly worthy of being a veteran eighth-rank lord in the principality.

The strength may not be the strongest, but the territory is absolutely excellent.

only.

When he shifted his gaze to the open space outside Chixiao City, he was suddenly stunned.

Outside the gate of Chixiao City, two huge groups of people gathered and confronted each other from a distance on the plain.

In one of the teams, two dilapidated magic airships were parked there.

They were the two airships they were looking for! "My Lord, those appear to be our airships!"

Xu Zhong also noticed the abnormality over there and exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems that Chixiao City is in trouble. Let's hurry over there."

At Lin You's command, the speed of the magic airship immediately increased to the maximum, and with a roar, it flew quickly towards the direction of Chixiao City.

And at this time.

Outside Chixiao City.

Cheng Pu was standing at the city gate with a large group of beast soldiers and a team of eighth-level practitioners, confronting the huge team led by three eighth-level lords from the opposite side.

The whole field was filled with murderous intent and the atmosphere was tense.

There were also a large number of corpses lying nearby, obviously having just experienced a fierce battle.

"Qi Hongwu, don't go too far!"

Cheng Pu sat on the back of a ninth-order crystal-fang tiger, staring at the three people opposite him with a sullen face.

"We are just bullying you too much, so what?" The middle-aged man who was controlled by Cheng Wei said coldly, "Last time in the Ten Thousand Worlds Battlefield, I let you escape, but you won't be so lucky this time."

"That sounds nice, but it was clearly you who launched the sneak attack first, disregarding the friendship between our race. I think you just covet the resources of my Chixiao City. You are afraid that I will spread the news, so you plan to kill me to silence me, right?" Cheng Pu said in a deep voice.

The breeze from the plain blew the weeds into his face, making his expression even more severe.

"So what?"

Qi Hongwu admitted it generously, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Do you think you can stop our attack by yourself?"

Although Cheng Pu is an old lord, he never participates in any fights, so his strength is not that strong. He only has 5 ninth-level soldiers.

However, the three people on Qi Hongwu's side have a total of 20 ninth-level soldiers.

Add to that the fact that he has three times as many eighth-level troops as Cheng Pu, and the difference in strength is obvious.

Even if Cheng Pu relied on his territory to defend himself, he would probably not be able to stop their attack.

What's more, there are so many people living in Chixiao City behind him. Once a fight breaks out, these people will be the only ones to suffer.

Although he has been living in the world and adhering to the principle of not competing with the world, it is absolutely impossible for him to abandon his people and escape alone.

"My Lord, you better run away, and let us stop them!"

"Yes, Lord, if anything happens to you, we will all be to blame!"

"We will cover your retreat, you run away!"

The personal guards around Cheng Pu all spoke out to persuade him, all of them showing an attitude of being ready to die.

"you."

Cheng Pu opened his mouth, a trace of emotion emerged on his old face, and he became more determined to defend Chixiao City to the death.

Based on his understanding of Qi Hongwu and others.

Once he leaves, the other party will never let the people of Chixiao City go easily.

Because these guys do not belong to the Yuehua Principality, God knows what cruel things they will do.

"You don't have to persuade me anymore. I won't leave here!"

After saying this, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he was ready to fight to the death with Qi Hongwu and others.

However.

But at this moment.

The roar of thrusters suddenly sounded in the distant sky.

A magical airship exactly the same as the one next to Qi Hongwu and others was flying rapidly from the other end of the plain.
