After Ye Qing's army left the Holy Fire City, they rushed toward Yunlun City like lightning. The Nanlin Army dispatched fifty thousand cavalry, all of which were golden war horses. This is a fourth-level magic beast. Although it belongs to the horse category, it is
With extremely powerful aura, even tiger or lion monsters cannot scare them.
This is also the reason why the Holy Fire Empire cultivates so many golden war horses. This kind of magical beast is extremely brave on the battlefield. As long as the master orders it, it will dare to charge even if there is an abyss in front of it.
The Sky Fire Army's mount has a more prominent origin, and is similar in appearance to a horse. But when it runs, its nose will emit extremely high-temperature flames. This is a unique war horse of the Holy Fire Empire, and it is a senior beast master.
A breed that the division has spent hundreds of years researching and cultivating. Because it was specially cultivated for the Sky Fire Army, it is called the Sky Fire War Beast.
As the supreme commander of this army, Ye Qing's mount is even more impressive. It is a ninth-level flying monster.
It is said that this monster is also an old acquaintance of Ye Qing. When he first came to Holy Fire City, he asked it for help. Later, this monster thought that Ye Qing was generous. And as a ninth-level monster, it already has wisdom no less than that of humans.
It felt a special temperament from Ye Qing and believed that Ye Qing would be extraordinary in the future. So it later returned to Ye Qing and expressed that it wanted to stay and be Ye Qing's mount.
Ye Qing happened to need a flying magical beast, and the two parties had cooperated before, so he agreed immediately. Ye Qing named this ninth-level magical beast Xiao Hei. Because this beast is completely black and can reflect light in the sun.
The Holy Fire Emperor named this army the Western Expedition Army. The Galaxy Empire is located to the west of the Wind and Rain Continent, and its area is comparable to that of the Holy Fire Empire. They are both behemoths. Moreover, there are powerful forces behind the Galaxy Empire.
By now, Ye Qing is very clear about many forces in Fengyun Continent. Just like the four empires on the surface, in fact, there are more powerful forces behind these four empires. Behind the Holy Fire Empire is the Tianlan Family among the four major families.
, is also one of the seven families and four families I heard about before.
The force behind the Galaxy Empire is the Fengling Sect among the seven sects, which is also an ancient sect.
Over the thousands of years that have passed in Fengyun Continent, countless large and small forces have been destroyed in the course of history, and even once-glorious empires have been ruthlessly eliminated by time. Only the Seven Sects and Four Families have been handed down from ancient times and have remained standing.
There have been seven families and four families since at least the beginning of recorded history.
Ye Qing's army drove across the vast land like a torrent. Their morale was high and no one could stop them. Except for resting and dining, they spent all their time on the road.
According to the normal marching speed, a round trip would take at least ten to twelve days. But at this speed, it would probably take three days to reach Yunlun City. Ye Qing knew that the other party must have control of his departure time from Holy Fire City, and
You can calculate the time to arrive at Yunlun City.
But with Ye Qing's actions, the opponent would not be able to accurately estimate the time for the army to arrive at Yunlun City. By then, he would be caught off guard and he would be able to capture the opponent in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation, and variables still exist. Wu Kongjing of the Sky Fire Army is a veteran marshal who has experienced many battlefields and has a detailed analysis of this war. From his point of view, it is best to
You can send experts to sneak into Yunlun City and then open one of the city gates, so as to avoid the losses caused by attacking the city as much as possible. After all, a strong attack will cause a lot of casualties, this is something everyone knows.
However, Ye Qing just smiled and asked him to cooperate with him. Then there would be a special task assigned to him and the Skyfire Army.
Sure enough, three days later, Ye Qing's army had arrived in a forest not far from Yunlun City.
It was evening at this time, and Ye Qing asked the army to rest and cook deep in the woods before launching an attack after dark.
Wu Kongjing once offered several strategies to Ye Qing, but it would take some time to implement them. But Ye Qing was in a hurry, so he didn't adopt them.
Ye Qing did not come here for war. War is just a means. Improving strength and training troops are the main purposes.
The soldiers were indeed slightly tired after three days of rapid march, so they took advantage of this time to recover their physical strength. Mainly because some ordinary soldiers of the Nanlin Army needed to rest. After all, their strength was not as good as that of the soldiers of the Sky Fire Army. They rode for three days.
With horses, some less powerful warriors can only exert 60 to 70% of their combat effectiveness.
"Marshal Wu, I went to find out the situation earlier. You can take charge of the situation here."
After saying that, Ye Qing left with Xiao Yi and Xiao Si. Of course, they were all riding on the back of the ninth-level magic beast Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was flying several thousand meters in the air, and Ye Qing took Yunlun City
The terrain can be seen clearly.
Yunlun City is backed by mountains on two sides and water on the other. Only the east gate can be attacked. Although the other three gates can also be passed through, they are definitely not an option for siege.
Flying high in the sky, Ye Qing discovered that Yunlun City was already heavily guarded. Rows of soldiers were guarding the four city gates, with the east gate being the largest. Ye Qing made a preliminary estimate that there were at least one hundred thousand soldiers.
A large army is guarding the east city gate. Two thousand of them are quite special. They should be the ace army of the Galaxy Empire - the Python Pattern Army.
The four empires all have their own ace armies, and their strengths are comparable to each other. The total number is about 10,000. It is not easy to have two thousand python pattern armies in Yunlun City. After all, this is not the imperial capital.
The Heavenly Fire Army of the Holy Fire Empire once suffered a big loss in Yunlun City and was ambushed by the opponent. So now there are only more than 6,000 left. This time, Ye Qing brought out 5,000. There are more than 1,000 Heavenly Fire Army left.
Standby at the camp.
The leading general of this python pattern army is a strong man at the peak of Martial Saint level. This is already a senior general in the army, and he is definitely a high-ranking person in the army. But what Ye Qing is more concerned about is how many Martial Saint level people there are here.
Masters, after all, masters at the martial saint level can already change a war.
Besides himself, Ye Qing also has someone else, Wu Kongjing, the generalissimo of the fifth level of the Martial Saint. And the city lord of Yunlun City is said to have been a master of the sixth level of the Martial Saint a few years ago. If the opponent breaks through to the Martial Saint
At level seven, Marshal Wu could not compete with him. Therefore, Ye Qing had to cut off his wings and find the hidden enemies.
Although Yunlun City is not as big as Holy Fire City, it occupies a large area. Fortunately, Xiao Hei is fast enough and can circle around Yunlun City in a short time.
Ye Qing did not find the opponent's strong Martial Saint, but the opponent's strong Martial Saint found him. Because Ye Qing was far away from the ground, he could not find it accurately. Moreover, the aura of the strong Martial Saint was extremely obscure and difficult to detect.
However, if Ye Qing flew so gracefully over Yunlun City on a ninth-level magical beast, he would naturally be discovered by the experts in Yunlun City. Even if it were not a time of war, Ye Qing's behavior would be considered a provocation to Yunlun City.
The result is that the strong person on the other side is also dissatisfied and comes to question him.
