“My General’s Tiger Seal would be able to prove your identity.” Old General Ma handed Yue Yang a seal carved with a tiger pattern and advised, “You must accurately teleport to the capital. We can only hold on for an hour at most. I hope that you can use your fastest speed to arrive at the Imperial Palace and seek for an audience with His Majesty. Ask His Majesty to dispatch the Enshrined Elders or the Heavenly Imperial Guardians, otherwise our whole army will be annihilated… We only have three teleportation scrolls left, it’s not enough for your whole team to escape. If you have teleportation scrolls with you, then leave quickly and return to Da Xia Kingdom!”
Old General Ma’s words implied that Ye Kong’s, Fatty Hai’s and the others’ abilities weren’t strong enough and would not be able to help his army at the current state. They would only endanger their lives staying here, so it would be better for them to leave.
Yue Yang nodded and received the Tiger Seal from Old General Ma.
The two Deputy Generals had already taken the next step in their army formation. The injured soldiers were moved to the middle, while the other elite soldiers surrounded and protected them.
Almost all the houses in the vicinity had been ignited in flames. Blazing flames rose up into the sky. The Giant Spiders who were afraid of fire didn’t dare approach, so the soldiers could still preserve their lives for now.
As for the flying beasts in the sky, they continued to simply observe the situation. It still wasn’t the best time to attack right now. The soldiers were still united and had battle power. especially Old General Ma’s Hurricane Elite Troops, had minimal casualties. Every single one of them was burning with fighting intent, their morale high and confident. The Corrupted Warriors’ Commander had an even calmer and a more cautious disposition than Old General Ma. He neither commenced his attack nor retreated easily.
Although the Luminous Demon Ding Zang had been defeated by Yue Yang, escaped, and the Black Winged Tan Wu Fang had been captured, the Corrupted Warriors’ Commander still didn’t move.
“If you take more than an hour, you don’t have to come back.” Old General Ma’s underlying meaning was extremely clear. If reinforcements didn’t come after an hour, then all of them should have already been killed. At that time, even if reinforcements come, it would all be useless. On the contrary, they might even fall to the enemy’s trap.
“Yue Bing, let’s go!” Yue Yang grabbed the unconscious Tan Wu Fang and shouted towards Yue Bing and Yi Nan.
“We’ll return back to Da Xia.” Ye Kong patted the shoulders of the Platoon Leader, who was supposed to protect them, and looked towards the trembling fellow. He then suddenly suggested, “Do you want to come with us? We’ll first return to Da Xia, but Yue Yang will teleport to the Tian Luo Kingdom Capital afterwards. He would not be familiar with that place and will probably need a guide. Why don’t you leave together with him?”
“I, I think I will stay behind with General… Long live His Majesty! Long Live Tian Luo!” That Platoon Leader’s ashen face did not reveal any kind of emotion, but his whole body was shaking violently. He had forced himself to hold on and cheered loudly.
Anyone could clearly see that he was extremely afraid, but he wasn’t a coward.
Yue Yang thought that this soldier must come from a family with status; he could even be one of the descendants of Great Clans and was participating in his first battle. It was really rare to see someone like him. He was able to endure so much even when he was confronted with such a dangerous situation. If it was another person that was given such a chance to live, they might even fight for that chance even if they have to kill another. But he had actually rejected the offer and chosen to stay.
Encountering a desperate situation, although he was afraid, he didn’t choose a path to survive. He had instead chosen to stay and fight the battle together with his comrades.
Seemed like this Old General Ma really had a way to lead his soldiers.
Old General Ma patted the Platoon Leader’s shoulders. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes revealed all the praises and pride he had in his heart for this subordinate of his.
“Wait for me to return. I will definitely return!” Yue Yang promised the soldiers in Hope Town whose lives had now become dependent on him. He might not be able to get reinforcements within an hour, but Yue Yang would definitely return and fight with this soldiers until the last moment.
Hui Tai Lang charged in front and opened up a path for them while Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and Li Clan Brothers followed closely behind.
Yue Yang carried the unconscious Black Winged Tan Wu Fang, who had been tied up by the two Deputy Generals. He tied Tan Wu Fang on his back as he pulled Yi Nan and Yue Bing along with both of his hands. Behind him, the Old General Ma, who was determined to accompany the small team to depart, followed closely. Although he
