One after another, chariots drove out of the inner city of Chizhou Fort, passed through the desolate outer city, and entered the wilderness.
Sitting in the armored command vehicle, Li Junwei said nothing, which made the atmosphere inside the vehicle unusually solemn and tense.
The communicator in the car rang. A soldier answered it, nodded continuously, and then came to Li Junwei with the communicator: "General, this is Mr. Wei's call."
When Li Junwei heard that it was Wei Qingning, he hummed and took the communicator: "Mr. Wei?"
Wei Qingning's voice rang out over the communicator: "Jun Wei, I heard that you left the city early in the morning and mobilized a large number of troops. Is it because of what happened with Lan Mo yesterday?"
Li Junwei nodded heavily, "That's right. Lan Mo suffered a great loss outside the city yesterday. The city lord was furious and ordered to clear the threats outside the city."
Wei Qingning paused for a moment and then said, "I heard that the people who attacked Lan Mo yesterday threatened to ask the city lord to hand over the stolen things?"
"What did the city lord steal?"
Li Junwei looked around, and several soldiers who were eavesdropping with their ears perked up quickly lowered their heads. Li Junwei then whispered, "It seems that the city lord used some kind of item to steal Mr. Su's power."
"What..." Wei Qingning gasped in the communicator, and after a moment he said, "Did the city lord really do this?"
"That day, Mr. Su's son came to my house, and he, the city lord, showed Mr. Su's demeanor. Moreover, he admitted it in front of me..." Speaking of this, Li Junwei sighed deeply.
Wei Qingning was silent for a while before saying, "How could the city lord be so confused? After all, he saved our Chizhou Fort from danger, but he stole their power in the blink of an eye. If this matter gets out, where will our face be..."
Li Junwei smiled bitterly: "But the city lord doesn't think so. He doesn't think he did anything wrong."
Wei Qingning snorted in dissatisfaction: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't admit his fault, but doing this will drag our Chizhou Fort into the fire pit. I have a feeling that Lan Mo's incident is just the beginning."
"If the city owner does not return what he has stolen, the revenge will continue and become more and more fierce."
Li Junwei shook his head and said, "Now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. What matters is whether we can eliminate the threats outside the city. I'm worried that the other party knows that we will counterattack by doing this, but they still insist on a tough attitude. I'm afraid they are sure they can defeat us."
Wei Qingning said in a deep voice: "Let's split up into two groups. You continue to do your work, and I will go to see the city lord to see if I can persuade him to hand over the things. If you take something that does not belong to you and do not have the absolute strength to suppress the backlash, you will only bring trouble to yourself."
"Moreover, it will implicate us and the entire fortress. The city lord is taking a reckless step!"
End the communication.
Li Junwei was not optimistic about Wei Qingning's advice. He still remembered Lin Zhengnan's expression that day. He knew that Lin Zhengnan was determined to swallow Su Lie's power and would never hand it over so easily.
In the blink of an eye, we have arrived in the wilderness.
Before the operation, Li Junwei had sent people to scout. Judging from the traces left by the monsters, the other party was entrenched in the mountainous area not far away. So after the convoy left Chizhou Fort, it headed towards the mountainous area.
In the mountainous areas, the slopes are uneven and the ridges are undulating.
Tianyang was standing on a high slope, just in time to see the dust rising in the distance and Li Junwei's convoy.
He was still wearing the 'Mist Ghost Armor' and the evil ghost mask, with his hands behind his back, looking at the convoy calmly. He knew that if he didn't hurt Lin Zhengnan and make him angry, he would not hand over the 'Heaven Stealing Bottle'.
Tianyang did not make any gestures or issue any orders. The 'Black Fire Crown' appeared in his eyes, and he gave orders to Yama through his consciousness.
At the same time, Xing Luo also received Tianyang's order to find a commanding height and prepare for a sniper attack.
Soon, the convoy from Chizhou Fort arrived near the mountainous area. This convoy was much larger than yesterday. There were more than a dozen heavy artillery and tanks alone. The long convoy formed a long dragon, which looked quite spectacular.
But in Tianyang's eyes, it was just a show of strength on the outside but a weakness on the inside. He knew very well that the troops of Chizhou Fort were not as many as what he saw now. Those chariots were not fully loaded at all. If Lin Zhengnan had any brains, he would not have drained all his family's wealth.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zhengnan had stolen the aura from his father, it would be impossible to confirm whether Lin Zhengnan could use it freely or was just an empty shell. Otherwise, Tianyang could have opened the door directly in Chizhou Castle and let Yan Mo invade directly through the door.
At this time, the convoy of Chizhou Fort stopped going deeper into the mountainous area. Then the car radio sounded, and Li Junwei's voice rang out on the radio: "Listen, people in the mountainous area. Now I order you to retreat immediately and stay away from our fortress. Otherwise, we will launch a cleanup operation."
The broadcast continued to sound, and Tianyang's mind moved. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed in the mountains and hit the horn on the armored command vehicle, making Li Junwei's broadcast suddenly silent.
Then, Tianyang's voice echoed among the mountains: "Lin Zhengnan is ungrateful and despicable. If it weren't for Mr. Su's intervention, your Chizhou Fort would have been reduced to a scorched earth, and he, Lin Zhengnan, would have been reduced to a lost dog."
"But how did he repay Mr. Su? He used the 'Heaven Stealing Bottle' to steal Mr. Su's power. This is worse than pigs and dogs!"
"If you still have some sense of right and wrong, you shouldn't be here. You should go back to the city, back to Chizhou Fort, and ask Lin Zhengnan to hand over the stolen things."
"If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Junwei secretly cried out in alarm when he heard this in the armored vehicle. The incident involving Lan Mo yesterday had already spread among the army. Some people in the army were already discussing the matter and speculating what Lin Zhengnan had taken from him.
Now that Tian Yang has revealed the truth, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army. After all, who would be willing to work for a man without moral integrity, and also have to bear the infamy together with Lin Zhengnan.
The most important thing is that probably no one is willing to die for such a thing.
Sure enough, not to mention the other tanks, even in this command vehicle alone, the soldiers had already started exchanging glances and were just about to start discussing.
Li Junwei quickly came out of the car and said loudly: "We are soldiers and warriors. We only follow orders. Here, I warn you for the last time. Retreat immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Tian Yang sneered, "Li Junwei, you were there at the time. Are you blind? Didn't you see who the aura displayed by Lin Zhengnan was supposed to belong to?"
"If you dare to say 'I didn't see it' here, I will leave immediately."
Li Junwei was suddenly speechless. He hated people who confuse right and wrong the most in his life, so how could he say anything at this moment
His hesitation undoubtedly confirmed Tianyang's words, and there was an uproar in the chariot.
Li Junwei sighed inwardly, knowing that even if a war broke out now, with such a strong military spirit and such morale, there was no chance of winning. If a war was launched rashly, it would only cause the soldiers to die in vain.
The tall general gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, Your Excellency, let's fight to decide the winner. Whoever loses will retreat. How about that?"
Tian Yang laughed: "Lin Zhengnan is despicable and shameless. How do I know if you will go back on your word? You, Chizhou Fort, no longer have any credibility in my eyes."
"Since you refuse to retreat, there is nothing more to say."
The 'Black Fire Crown' lit up, and there was a sudden buzzing sound around the mountain area. Li Junwei suddenly saw that from behind the hillsides on both sides, a black cloud suddenly rose up, quickly swept down the hillside, and converged on his army.
Li Junwei's scalp exploded and he yelled, "Fire! Fire!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt threatened and threw himself to the side. He saw the ground suddenly explode as if it had been hit by a heavy artillery, and gravel flew all over the ground with a crackling sound.
At this time, Yama began to charge. When the aphid demons on both sides attracted most of the attention of the Chizhou Fort army, hundreds of giant claw demons rushed down from the hillsides on both sides. But before they reached the battlefield, faint purple rays of light had already appeared in the convoy.
Those rays of light were cracks in the shallow space. From the cracks, the Shadow Demon stretched out its tentacles and threw out magical light balls that continuously emitted energy jets.
Some Shadow Demons even appeared inside the chariots and threw magic balls directly at the soldiers inside, causing even more terrible damage.
In the torrent of giant claw demons, there were several snake demons mixed in. They specifically targeted officers of rank 4 or so in the army. The combat power of snake demons was comparable to that of rank 5, and they had various strange means. Officers below rank 5 had no chance of winning against them and were quickly suppressed.
This was because Tianyang had specifically issued the order to only injure but not kill. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before these officers were slaughtered.
Li Junwei looked around and his heart sank to the bottom. The army he brought was immediately at a disadvantage as soon as they started fighting. How could he continue to fight this battle
When a tyrannical demon rushed out, wielding a halberd and smashing a heavy artillery tank, Li Junwei became even more desperate. He roared and was about to rush towards the tyrannical demon, but suddenly a sword light appeared in front of him, stopping him.
Li Junwei thought that the opponent's main general was dead, but he saw that the one emitting the sword light was a tall knight in heavy armor.
The two-meter-tall knight dragged a rune broadsword and walked over. He raised his hand, and magic light flashed continuously on his hand. Li Junwei felt something and looked at the tyrannical demon not far away. He saw that the monster, which was already heavily armored, now had a thick layer of dark purple magic light, and the aura was thick, making people feel that they had no way to start.
Not only was the tyrannical demon blessed by the magic light, but even the snake demons that had already gained the upper hand were now covered in this powerful magic light. Li Junwei saw with his own eyes that one of his officers tried his best to slash at the snake demon with a sword, but the magic light on the opponent did not weaken at all, and the snake demons were not hurt at all.
At this time, he saw the tall knight raise his broadsword again. The knight wiped the broadsword, and red light gushed out of the broadsword. The whole sword immediately revealed an astonishing sharpness, as if nothing could not be cut.
