"What do you think of this Deputy General Wang?"
Zhao Mingcheng turned around, first agreeing, then letting his mind wander, taking in every move of the deputy general, before speaking.
"This man is rather strange. Regardless of whether Lord Chen was obstructed or not, an ordinary deputy general would not make excuses like this. Instead, he would appear flustered. But this man showed a hint of joy amidst his worry. This is clearly an intention to kick someone when they are down."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then said solemnly.
"Could this person be intentionally stalling for time?"
Zhao Mingcheng exhaled and then slowly said.
If the other party did this, there is only one reason: to let the demon race kill Chen Tianjian, and then he would reap the benefits. Because besides Chen Tianjian, perhaps the one with the greatest merit in the battle was this Deputy General Wang.
"Lord Ye, Lord Zhao, I have mustered the troops. When will you depart?"
After a while, Vice General Wang walked into the military tent and said in a deep voice.
"Let's set off now, Commandant Xue, come here for a moment."
Ye Ru whispered a few words to Captain Xue and then left. On the other hand, Vice General Wang stared at Ye Ru's back, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
During the march, Ye Ru and Zhao Mingcheng stood at the highest point, looking at the massive army behind them, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although they hadn't managed to borrow five thousand soldiers, two thousand should be enough.
"Full speed ahead!"
Ye Ru shouted sharply, and then his figure suddenly accelerated, while the soldiers also quickly rushed towards the direction of Wenggu.
……
This is a forest, where the occasional roar of wild beasts can be heard, startling many birds into flight.
Moreover, a faint smell of blood lingered in the air, making the atmosphere in this place exceptionally oppressive.
Deep within this forest lies a vast valley, which, when viewed from mid-air, appears to be semi-circular. The only way out of this valley is through a narrow passage.
At this moment, in the valley, many soldiers looked at the wounds on their arms and chests, clenching their teeth, but remained silent.
Although their faces were pale, they all wore resolute expressions, gripped their weapons tightly, and looked around with extremely sharp eyes.
In front of these people was a middle-aged man holding a four-clawed emperor sword. His eyes were fixed on the valley outside, and a cold glint was flashing in them.
"Lord Chen, what should we do now? Those demons are too hateful. They have blocked this road, and there is no way to get out from the surrounding area. Unless we fight them to the death, there is absolutely no way to get out."
Guo Ku turned his head, looked at the surrounding terrain, and then said in a deep voice.
This valley is a natural place to store grain and fodder. It is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are extremely steep. Even if there is a sneak attack, it is impossible to burn all the grain and fodder.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianjian turned around, his face also turning terribly grim. He stared at the valley passage and fell into deep thought:
"This place is sealed off so tightly that information cannot reach the outside world at all. We can only rely on Hongyin to inform Ye Ru, but Ye Ru is currently taking the imperial examination and cannot spare the time. We can only get reinforcements after Ye Ru comes out in three days."
"Hopefully Chief Ye can finish quickly, otherwise we won't be able to hold out for three days. Although the food supplies here are plentiful, the enemy will definitely not let us live for long. After all, this time the leader is Zhong Yuemou, and Zhong Yuemou has fought against Chief Ye before. He knows how terrifying Ye Ru is."
Guo Ku glanced around at the wounded soldiers, then sighed and said.
"If we are lucky enough to get out, we will definitely let the Northern army know how powerful we are!"
Guan Mou's expression also turned somewhat grim. This was the most frustrating battle they had ever fought. No matter how many times they broke through, they all ended in failure, and they also lost a lot of soldiers.
Although they had Chen Tianjian, the other side also had a great Confucian scholar. The two were locked in a stalemate, neither making a move. Otherwise, if they had, the Northern Army would have suffered a devastating blow.
Because Chen Tianjian alone could not possibly save the entire Northern Army.
"I doubt they'll wait until three days later..."
At this moment, Chen Tianjian seemed to sense something, and immediately raised his head to look at the sky, while Guan Mou and the others' expressions also became extremely vigilant.
"Lord Chen, how have you been?"
From that passage, a middle-aged man exuding demonic energy stepped out, his gaze fixed on Chen Tianjian, and said with a smile.
Behind the middle-aged man stood several young men, whose bodies were surging with demonic energy, indicating that they were of a fairly high level.
"Hmph, the demons have actually colluded with the monsters. They're truly in cahoots."
Chen Tianjian looked at the demon and chuckled softly.
"Haha, Lord Chen, you can't say that. The demon race and the monster race have been friends since ancient times. The alliance was formed to fight against your human race. Back when Confucius was still alive, he almost wiped us out by suppressing us. Now, we are just retaliating in kind."
At that moment, another voice came, followed by a figure, making Chen Tianjian's face even more gloomy.
Currently, his literary skill level is only enough to defeat one demon lord, while the opponent clearly came prepared in advance, with two demon lords appearing at once. In a one-on-one fight, he could definitely defeat the opponent with the Emperor's Sword and the other holy pages, but now, fighting two at once, he is somewhat inferior.
"Lord Chen, if you surrender to our demon race or monster race, I will leave no one here untouched, how about that?"
"Nonsense! The people here are all elites of the human race, at least scholars, and are essentially the backbone of our northern border. If I were to surrender, my fate would probably be even more miserable than it is now."
Chen Tianjian sneered and said:
"Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"
"Your fearsome reputation, Chen Tianjian, is legendary among our demon race. In a one-on-one fight, few in the demon race can match you. Moreover, with so many of my men today, why should I fight you one-on-one?"
The demon lord of the demon race also sneered.
"Hmph, although you two are both great Confucian scholars, you are quite shameless. When I return, I will definitely wipe out your demon race and restore peace to my Confucian continent!"
The Four-Clawed Emperor Sword in Chen Tianjian's hand became exceptionally bright, and the golden four-clawed dragon kept moving.
"You probably won't have that chance..."
Upon hearing this, the demon sneered, his voice gradually turning cold:
"Kill me, leave no one behind!"
