Chapter 493 Bad News
Chapter 493: Bad news
An Fei, who had been out for a long time, finally returned to the camp at dawn the next day after the battle broke out. His appearance made Chris Ding and others feel relaxed. However, just smiled, a few soldiers who rushed to the camp with An Fei brought a thunderbolt to everyone, which shocked everyone: Se Jialan was not dead, and Beeri had been defeated in the sky!
The army of the Semiotic Empire was fleeing northwest, and it seemed that it wanted to retreat from the wild grassland road to the Elisen Empire. The Elisen Empire also sent troops to pick them up. Of course, Beeri could not sit idly by and watch the two sides meet and chase them all the way, but was ambushed in a canyon called Yishitian.
The messengers seemed very embarrassed. In fact, their status was not high and they could not understand Beeri's plan before and after. An Fei, Alice and others asked carefully for a long time, but only asked about it.
The two griffin flying squadrons under Sejialan showed very strong combat qualities. Since the escape, they have been responsible for covering the main force, constantly raiding the Death Roaring Legion, and attacking the Death Roaring Legion's scouts everywhere. Beeri is definitely not a character who only gets beaten but doesn't fight back. He immediately disguised the magicians and high-level sword masters in the army, mixed in the scout team, and used tricks to hunt the enemy's griffin knights.
However, the flexibility of any legion on the mainland cannot be compared with that of the Griffon Knights. After suffering several losses, the Griffon Knights also changed their tactics and reduced the number of attacks, but the scale became larger and larger. Often hundreds or even hundreds of Griffon Knights besieged a scout team with less than ten people. Even with magicians and high-priced sword masters in charge, it is difficult to change the result, and they cannot even escape.
After dozens of bloody hunting and anti-hunting contests, Beeri finally could not bear the losses, and the elite scouts in the army almost lost half of them. The magician also killed more than 40 people, and two generals at the general level were also killed. However, the griffin knights showed unprecedented toughness and maintained their overlord status in the air at all costs. In the end, Beeri had to take back his scout and hand over the reconnaissance mission to the magicians, allowing them to release the Eye of the Sky continuously and observe the enemy's movements at all times.
The terrain of Yishitian is very strange. It is like a passage composed of a row of pointed tents, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The peaks on both sides are more than 600 meters high, extending obliquely into the air. The mountain body is closer to the upwards, and the peaks are almost connected. From the bottom and upwards, you can only see a blue sky like silk threads. This is the origin of Yishitian.
In this mountainous area with a radius of about 30 miles, thousands of hot springs and boiling springs are scattered, and the mountains are surrounded by fog all year round. The Eye of the Sky, which Beeri relies on, has lost its service here.
Dean Stig, who was with the army, personally released the Eye of the Sky and saw countless soldiers of the Shirot Empire passing through the canyon and continued to flee, but he could not see the scene in the mountains. Later, Stig and the great alchemist Jacob went around the valley together, and found nothing unusual.
The generals of the Roar of Death repeatedly asked to start the pursuit immediately. However, at this critical moment, Beeri took out a letter from somewhere, and looked at it repeatedly, and it took a long time to issue an order to advance.
After about a quarter of the soldiers stepped into the mountains, a giant hidden magic circle was activated, and eventually all the soldiers who stepped into the mountains were killed!
Many magical effects are only temporary, such as swamp technique, firewall, etc. After the elements dissipate, the scenery will return to its original appearance, but most of the damage caused by magic is permanent. For example, a large fireball explodes a pit on the ground, and the fireball disappears, but the pit will not disappear. The giant magic array set up by Se Jialan's orders releases a strong earthquake wave. As the earth trembles become more and more violent, more than half of the peaks in the entire ray of sky collapsed together. From then on, the ray of sky, known as a wonder, completely disappeared, replaced by a giant tomb composed of countless stones of large and small sizes. Tens of thousands of elite warriors of the Death Roaring Legion were buried in the tomb.
Beeri made a quick decision and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat. Although he was hesitant, the Death Roaring Legion escaped the disaster of the entire army's annihilation, it was definitely not the time for an attack. No matter how powerful the warriors were, they were composed of flesh and blood. They were not steel. They had their own feelings, their persistence, and their fears. Seeing their comrades walking into the valley, they became a farewell in an instant, which caused a huge impact on their hearts.
Se Jialan appeared miraculously and raised her own handsome flag again. Unfortunately, the only road was destroyed by the earthquake she had painstakingly set up. It was still thirty miles away. If she wanted to go around both ends of the irregular mountain, she would have to walk a hundred miles more, so that Beeri could catch the breathing time.
The original pursuer turned into a fugitive in a blink of an eye, but the original escaper turned into a chaser. It can only be said that things in the world are like chess!
Beeri really dared not fight Sejialan. He only led the Death Roaring Legion to pursue it, which was to bully the Shirot Empire army without a leader and could not form a unified command at all. Since Sejialan was not dead, he must join the Shield Legion of Light as soon as possible.
The messengers also brought shocking news. In the east of the Mercenary Kingdom, the mercenaries from Fengyu Fort discovered that tens of thousands of knights of the Semi-Sand Empire broke in. They were the Iron Guard Knights directly commanded by Edward VIII of the Semi-Sand Empire, and countless griffin knights flew past the sky. A rough estimate was that there were at least six griffin flying squadrons.
The Griffon Flying Team of the Shirot Empire consists of three combat brigades and one training brigade. Each brigade has three flight squadrons. An Fei once led his partners to wipe out one squadron. There are two squadrons beside Sejialan. Now there are at least six flight squadrons, plus the Iron Guard Knights, which means that Edward VIII of the Shirot Empire has taken out all the cards and he wants to fight Yuland!
Moreover, these troops of the Shirot Empire did not attack Fengyu Fort nor the empty Baishan City, although it was easy. They headed straight to the southwest, and their goals were already very obvious. They wanted to seize the Hengduan Mountains and cut off the retreat of the Death Roaring Legion and the Shield Legion of Light, and wipe out the two legions before Yuland dispatched troops to reinforce!
Two extremely bad news made the atmosphere silent, and everyone's eyes focused on An Fei. What's going on? Didn't An Fei have killed Se Jialan?! If An Fei had not accumulated supreme prestige in repeated crises, maybe someone would have questioned An Fei now. Alice's mood changed the most. After An Fei told her that she had killed Se Jialan with her own hands, although she felt a little regretful, she felt more relieved and relaxed. Now she knew that Se Jialan was alive again, and her mood became very bad.
"Don't look at me, Se Jialan must have been killed by me." An Fei said lightly. In fact, he was in a bad mood: "In this regard, I am still qualified to be confident."
"Then why is she..." Brave said timidly.
"Someone must have saved her in a very magical way." An Fei said firmly. He was full of confidence in his strength and sensing. Se Jialan must have died at that time!
"Is it..." Huiwei's face was pale and suddenly jumped up.
"What is it?" An Fei's eyes suddenly fell on Huiwei.
"Nothing, that's impossible." Huiwei smiled reluctantly.
"Huiwei, are we partners?" An Fei asked softly.
An Fei's tone was very soft, but Huiwei felt the hidden weight. His lips trembled slightly. After a while, he replied with An Fei's decisive attitude just now: "Yes!"
"That's good, you stay later."
"I know." Huiwei is a smart man. He knew that he could keep his secret before, but now he can't do it. Why can Se Jialan be resurrected from the dead? He wants to give an explanation, at least he wants to wash away the stains for An Fei.
"Huiwei, can you tell us? We want to know too." Brave asked.
"This...is OK." Huiwei smiled bitterly: "I guess Se Jialan may have the Ring of Immortality."
"The Ring of Immortality?" Many people shouted in unison, and they had never heard of it.
"The Immortal Ring and An Fei's Natural Heart are both divine artifacts. The last of the three major artifacts is the legendary wheel of destiny." Huiwei said slowly: "As for the use of the Immortal Ring... I don't know, just like we don't know what An Fei's Natural Heart is, only the master of the artifact can master the secrets of the artifact, but from the name, we should be able to guess some."
"Can Se Jialan be unable to kill?" Shante exclaimed.
"I don't think the magic weapon can have that great power. If Se Jialan's body is crushed into powder... I guess no one can save her."
"Let's talk about this for now." Chris Ting said softly: "The key is, what should we do now? The army of the Shirot Empire did not attack Fengyu Castle, nor did it attack Baishan City, but Se Jialan would not let us go. After all, we have caused too much trouble for her. In terms of time, we have two days left to move freely. Should we continue fighting or retreat immediately, An Fei, please make an idea."
"Se Jialan can keep in touch with Edward VIII, she naturally has a way to spread the news of victory to Blackwater City. What do you think about Manzhusley now?"
