The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night
More blown down
Stars like rain
Bai Su didn't know what effect this word spirit had in the hands of other scholars, but she was very familiar with its effect in the hands of her own master. It was clearly a killer move against the enemy in a melee, so why did the fireball fall on her own camp
She didn't understand and was filled with doubts.
But the answer came soon.
The fire was indeed set by Shen Tang. It was not because the Word Spirit lost control or made a mistake in the target. He just burned his own tent on purpose. Before the fire, the supplies and personnel in the tent had been moved out in an orderly manner, leaving only an empty shell.
It seemed like the camp was filled with shouting and killing, but in reality it was just a face-saving project. While fighting, they secretly took advantage of the chaos to transfer people.
He then took the opportunity to send down fire from the sky and burn the tents to leave no evidence, thus legitimately turning his troops from open to secret.
The flame transformed by literary energy is different from ordinary flames. If the fire is not extinguished in time, not even a skeleton will be left of the corpse.
This could also explain why the number of corpses near the camp did not match the actual number of missing persons - Shen Tang had a clear plan, and considering the current precarious state of the Ten Crows Envoys, they probably wouldn't be in the mood to pay attention to these small details.
Bai Su rushed through the fire to Shen Tang.
"My lord, I am late."
Shen Tang looked refreshed.
If you ignore her bloody body and look at her expression, you would really think she has just come back from somewhere, with long-lost joy written on her eyebrows and eyes. Seeing that it was Bai Su, Shen Tang used his sword to wipe off the enemy's neck and asked with a smile: "Shao Xuan, is everything going well?"
Bai Su clasped his fists and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
Shen Tang asked again: "How is that prince?"
Bai Su answered truthfully: "The person was a little frightened and has been sent to the designated location and handed over to the troops for delivery."
Hearing that Her Royal Highness Princess Wang was just "a little frightened", Shen Tang was no longer worried. As long as the person was not dead, that was enough.
At this time, in the direction of the next camp.
Suddenly, a terrifying collision of auras broke out.
Four or five different colored martial energies collided and exploded. Judging from the situation, it should be four against one. The latter had the brightest color and the strongest aura. Even if four people joined forces, they could not quickly take him down. Bai Su took a look and said, "My lord..."
Do you want to go over and get involved
We are not going to save people, we are going to take advantage of others.
Take advantage of the stalemate between the two sides to launch a sneak attack and kill both groups! Her deep eyes were filled with eagerness to try and undisguised murderous intent.
Shen Tang sneered and waved his hand, saying, "Why should we, small fish and shrimp, get involved in the fight between gods?"
Sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
The more they fight among themselves, the more internal friction they suffer.
It is not good news for her if one party becomes bigger.
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng came over one after another.
Shen Tang asked them: "Have all the people retreated?"
Jiang Sheng replied, "Zi Gu has led his troops to fight and retreat, creating the illusion that they are out of strength and are fleeing in a hurry. The camp has caught fire and the Ten Crows are also busy taking care of themselves, so we are doing well." With the cover of the lord's fire, the retreat was very smooth.
Gu Chi also said: "Wen Shi led the female camp to retreat and has gone to the agreed location. When will the lord retreat?"
Hearing that the troops had been evacuated safely, Shen Tang also breathed a sigh of relief - although she also wanted to see what the Shiwu capital looked like and continue to collect information from several tribes along the way, but now that she had the Shiwu defense map presented by Wang Ji...
It would be a waste of time to continue following the marriage team, and she still has to rush to complete the target of 30,000 heads.
You might as well take this great opportunity to get out.
Make a big fuss in Shiwu.
Who made them invade Longwu repeatedly
As the saying goes—
It is impolite not to reciprocate!
Everything is just a matter of time!
Shen Tang raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, his eyes fell on the center of the explosion, and said cruelly: "Xian Deng will follow me to cover the rear, Shao Xuan will escort Wang Chao away. You go and meet up with the main force first, and Xian Deng and I will play the final part."
Why keep Jiang Sheng instead of Gu Chi
Gu Chi is a sickly guy. I can gossip about him, but seeing him so sick and holding medicine bottles all day long, I feel a little sad to let him jump around on the battlefield with me. When he recovers, I can exploit him in any way I want.
Gu Chi had no expression on his face: "..."
My lord, there is no need to feel distressed at a time like this, right
Jiang Sheng was surprised that Shen Tang entrusted him with such an important task - this was to cover the retreat and nothing else. If Jiang Sheng took the opportunity to slack off, it would undoubtedly put Shen Tang in danger.
This action is a disguised way of entrusting your entire life and property to others!
He dared not neglect it.
"only!"
Gu Chi wanted to stop him but failed.
Time is running out and opportunities are fleeting. We cannot afford to leave it to them to waste by arguing with each other.
He grabbed Bai Su's hand, ignoring the latter's determined expression, which showed that she wished she could stay and accompany her master to face life and death: "In this case, the safety of the master will be left to Xiandeng!"
"Gu Wangchao, how can we leave the lord behind to cover our retreat?" Bai Su was so angry that she wanted to kick him as she was forced to retreat by Gu Chi. The roles of the lord and the subordinates were reversed, right? Even if she took a step back and said, "What if something happens to the lord..."
Gu Chi said indifferently: "If anything goes wrong, Qi Yuanliang will die for the lord! You and I should consider the overall situation. Besides, the lord is not going to fight with anyone. He just teamed up with Jiang Xiandeng to put on a show to dispel the doubts of the Ten Crows and make it easier for us to disguise our identities and move around in the Ten Crows. Which is more important?"
Bai Su gritted her teeth secretly.
The two commanded the remaining troops to retreat.
The camp was completely burned down by the fire.
Shen Tang and Jiang Sheng looked at each other.
You can know the other party's actions without dialogue.
Shen Tang also knew that she had three lives to lose. If she got injured, Qi Yuanliang would have to apply medicine to her wounds. She gave up the idea of stabbing herself twice to injure herself. She just tore her clothes, smeared the blood of some unlucky guy, and burned a part of her sleeves and collar. She went to support the fierce main battlefield with the equally embarrassed and weak Jiang Sheng, and watched the show.
"… This Su Shiyilu is still strong despite his old age."
From a distance, the strong wind blowing in his face was mixed with someone's martial energy and sharp blades. Shen Tang could still smell the sulfur in the air. The area several miles around the camp was destroyed by the violent and ferocious martial energy, creating a large pit with a diameter of 100 meters on the spot. In the pit, Su Shiyilu was naked, with only his shoulder armor and arm guards intact, and the rest were all shattered.
There was blood all over his chest and back.
But this person didn't even frown.
Even though his own scholars had been besieged and killed, he was isolated and helpless, and the nearby reinforcements were unable to provide him with timely support.
The enemy before him was no better than him.
The wide-faced battle axe in his hand was faintly flashing with murderous light, and it seemed to be eager to follow its master to chop off the enemy's head. Opposite Su Shiyilu, there were only three enemies left standing. In the small pit in the distance lay a body that was chopped diagonally into two pieces. This was his trophy!
Jiang Sheng said: "What a pity, the martial energy is about to be exhausted."
After all, I'm old.
His physical strength and energy could not withstand such a siege and round-the-clock fighting. The enemy was obviously aiming for his life. The abilities of several Wudan warriors were very targeted. Even though Su Shiyilu was strong and experienced, he was beaten to a standstill.
If the fight continues, I'll have to use all my strength.
It's a complete disaster!
Su Shiyilu, who was looked down upon, coughed up a mouthful of blood and asked fiercely: "Which prince's disciples are you from?"
