The legion and the monsters set out at the same time. The roar of the human-faced silver ape sounded outside the forest, driving many monsters towards the valley.
These monsters did not understand what was going to happen, but their limited wisdom made them realize that the will of the human-faced silver ape king behind them could not be disobeyed.
As long as they want to survive in this forest, they must abide by the rules here and obey the will of the human-faced silver ape king.
A huge number of monsters flowed towards the distance like a rolling torrent.
The cavalry regiment on Ye Li's side also set out at the same time, but they went in another direction, a direction that would allow them to encircle and trap the monsters.
… … … … …
He Wei, who was leading the army towards Dengtian City, was a little depressed. He should have arrived here yesterday, but ended up being a whole day late.
It was not because he was too slow, but because the support force, which originally had only 20,000 people, suddenly increased to 40,000 before leaving.
The most crucial thing is that these 40,000 troops should nominally be under his command, but in reality he can only command 20,000 of them.
Because only 20,000 of them were his troops, and the remaining 20,000 were other people's troops.
"Brother He, this distance is really far. We have been walking for such a long time. How about we sit down and take a rest?"
Suddenly, a slightly soft voice sounded in He Wei's ears, making He Wei couldn't help but droop the corners of his mouth.
The person who spoke was the owner of the remaining 20,000 troops, named Wei Xiangming.
Wei Xiangming is already thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and his cultivation is around the Lingdan stage. Under normal circumstances, with his level of cultivation, he is not qualified to lead an army of 20,000 people.
The reason why he was qualified to be the commander of an army of 20,000 was because his father was Wei Wuyue, one of the right-hand men of the First Talisman Saint.
Wei Wuyue had great power in the Tianxia Alliance, which allowed him to arrange for his son to become the leader of this army of 20,000 people.
Originally, this legion was basically just for show, and Wei Xiangming was just trying to gain time and experience so that he could follow the path laid by his father and reach the top of the Tianxia League.
As a father, it is normal to consider and arrange a comfortable and secure future for his children. But Wei Xiangming doesn't think so. In his opinion, his father's behavior is to ignore his existence and underestimate his ability.
Therefore, Wei Xiangming was not willing to just lead 20,000 people behind enemy lines and pretend to be there. He also hoped that he could go to the front line and gain some real achievements.
However, as a pampered young man, he also knew his own abilities, and he did not dare to face the danger of fighting, so he could only find things to do that were not so dangerous but would bring great merit.
After searching for a long time, Wei Xiangming finally found the current mission of supporting Dengtian City. In his opinion, this is a mission with huge merits and yet relatively safe.
As the son of a high-ranking member of the Tianxia Alliance, Wei Xiangming was very clear about the current situation. He deeply understood the significance of seizing Dengtian City.
Dengtian City is like a shoulder of the Tongxin Alliance. Once they occupy it, they can go deeper into the city and cut off one of the arms of the Tongxin Alliance.
Now the most difficult task of attacking Dengtian City has been completed. The remaining task is to assist Dengtian City and help the front-line troops set up city defenses.
Although it sounds very dangerous, after all, we have to defend Dengtian City for many days and there is a risk of the city being breached at any time.
But in Wei Xiangming's opinion, the danger of defending a city is much smaller than that of attacking it.
Moreover, according to the Tianxia Alliance's speculation, the Tongxin Alliance could only send 30,000 to 50,000 people to attack the city, and there was no hope of retaking Dengtian City.
Now he sent another 20,000 of his men to Dengtian City, which increased the number of defenders in Dengtian City to 70,000. From a security perspective, it was almost foolproof.
Judging from the current situation of the Tongxin Alliance, they definitely cannot squeeze out 70,000 people to attack the city. After all, the legions in various regions are caught up in the war and cannot get out to support Dengtian City.
After much consideration, Wei Xiangming finally decided to go to Dengtian City with He Wei to provide support. As long as they could hold off the counterattack of the Tongxin League, more follow-up troops from the Tianxia League would rush over to garrison and completely control Dengtian City and even the entire Feichi Kingdom.
The subsequent collapse of the Tongxin Alliance most likely started from Dengtian City. The army of the Tianxia Alliance that contributed the most was the army that captured Dengtian City, and the second greatest contributor was naturally the 40,000 garrison troops who rushed to the city in a hurry.
When He Wei heard Wei Xiangming's words, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
However, He Wei dared not speak out. Wei Xiangming's identity was not something he could compare to. Even though his strength and cultivation were far superior to the other party, it was a pity that he did not have a powerful father.
"Master Wei, we are almost approaching Dengtian City, so why don't we just rest here
After all, Dengtian City is not safe now, and the army of Tongxin League is likely to launch a counterattack on Dengtian City.
If we go too late and let the Tongxin League take back Dengtian City, not only will we not get any credit, but we will also be punished.
So, young master, you just have to hold on for a while. When we get to Dengtian City, you can rest as you like.
With 70,000 people defending Dengtian City, the Tongxin Alliance will never be able to break in. We will all become heroes defending the city and receive great credit."
After He Wei hid the anger in his eyes, he resisted the urge to curse and forced a smile as he spoke.
Wei Xiangming showed a struggle on his face when he heard this, but he was finally persuaded by He Wei's words "great contribution" and did not insist on stopping to rest.
The group of 40,000 people quickly moved through the sphere of influence of the Tongxin Alliance and soon arrived outside a valley.
He Wei glanced at the valley ahead and said, "Master Wei, there is a valley ahead, which is more vulnerable to ambush and attack. Why don't we just change the route and bypass this valley?"
Hearing He Wei's words, Wei Xiangming looked up at the valley ahead and asked, "How far will the detour take us?"
He Wei thought for a moment and said, "It'll probably only take an hour, which is not that far!"
What he said was true. An hour is not a long journey.
But to Wei Xiangming, one hour seemed a bit long.
"We have to take such a long detour, why don't we just go through here, otherwise I really can't hold on any longer.
I wanted to take a break before, but you said we'd be there soon, and now that we've come this far, let's not waste any more time!"
Wei Xiangming was unwilling to go around in circles again and shook his head to refuse.
