Chapter 303 Counterattack
After the army of Burning Sky City arrived, they were ready to enter the city of Nine Reds directly.
However, the four gates of Nine Reds City were closed, and only a small gate was opened at the east gate.
"I don't know which lord is in charge of this event. The city has prepared a banquet. Please come in." Four imperial envoys of the Chi family stood in a row in front of the east gate.
The army of 10,000 people stopped outside the city gate. One by one, the beastmasters looked down at the four people. The flaming unicorns they sat on snorted impatiently.
The scorching sun was high in the sky, and they were rushing here, and they were all riding fire beasts. This group of armored giant city guards were very hot.
The scorching air waves spread in the air, like a gunpowder barrel that could explode at any time.
The flaming unicorns began to stomp their feet.
The ground was filled with the sound of kicking.
"We have so many men here to support us, what do you mean by stopping us outside the city gate? Is this how you treat guests in Jiuchi City?" A loud shout came from the giant city guards of 10,000 people.
The army made way, and a one-horned flaming horse that was two heads taller than the other horses rushed to the four people.
Facing the flaming unicorn that was galloping, the four people guarding the city gate did not blink.
"We have built a military camp outside the west gate and boiled white pear water to clear away heat and relieve summer heat." The youngest of the four said.
The adjutant must have been instructed by the chief officer to come out.
But they could not let the giant city guards enter the city. It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
They just borrowed this group of giant city guards to deal with the group of mercenaries temporarily. If they were stationed in the city for a long time, it would be difficult to get rid of these leeches.
"You invited us here, not us to come here on our own initiative. Don't you even have this sincerity?" The adjutant glanced at the four people coldly.
The adjutant said in an inexplicable tone, "Just a bunch of ragtag mercenaries tortured you like this? It seems that Jiuchi City is not that good."
The giant city guards behind the adjutant laughed wildly.
Mercenaries sound like a group of characters who live on the edge of a knife, but in the Burning Sky Giant City, they can only bully some casual cultivators without background.
In front of the giant city guards, they are just a group of ragtag people who will be defeated at a single blow.
The young man among the four argued, "It's just a group of mercenaries that we can easily deal with, but these are not ordinary mercenaries. The Xia Kingdom is behind them!"
The slightly older beastmaster of the Chi family said, "That's right, the group of mercenaries also claimed to the outside world that the extra beasts in their group were picked up in the desert."
No beastmaster in the entire Jiuchi City believed this reason.
The group of mercenaries simply shit in their brains!
"Xia Kingdom? Are you talking about the group of guys who were almost destroyed by us?" The adjutant sneered, a group of monkeys who could only shrink in the encirclement.
When the masters above are ready, they can be destroyed at any time.
Behind the hills in the distance, several figures hidden here can see the situation clearly.
"It seems that the new reinforcements and Jiuchi City are not wearing the same pants."
"Hehe, interesting, I just don't know which legion commander the Burning Sky Giant City sent this time."
The Giant City Guard of Burning Sky Giant City is a combat army of about 10,000 people, led by a legion commander.
Above the legion commander are ten army lords, and each army lord has more than ten legion commanders under his command.
The strength of these legion commanders and army lords is basically in the same class category - high-level transcendence.
The weak main beast tamers are only transcendental level 7, the strong ones are as strong as transcendental level 9, and even some monsters can reach transcendental level 10.
"I don't know, but it seems that those dogs in Jiuchi City are forced into a corner by us, and they actually invited people from Burning Sky Giant City to come."
Several scouts came from the Gray Fox, the Heart of Resistance, the Holy Flame Sword and Shield, and the Stone Gate Fortress Mercenary Group.
They looked at each other and left at the same time in tacit understanding.
Return to Stone City.
Many beastmasters who participated in this battle were very excited.
Every time a battle ended, the most anticipated moment was the moment of dividing the cake.
A huge amount of resources were poured out, and the square of the mansion was covered with ore and treasures from other storage accessories, shining brightly and colorfully.
Each storage accessory was marked.
Of course, these were all spoils of war killed by beastmasters below the transcendence level, and the spoils of war of the enemies killed by the transcendence level beastmaster belonged to the transcendence level beastmaster alone.
Of course, there are corresponding responsibilities in the army, that is, unless it is extremely dangerous, the transcendence level beastmaster shall not arbitrarily abandon the beastmaster below the transcendence level.
"What are you still standing there for, go and divide the spoils." Zhao Guangming said to the beastmasters behind Ning Yi and Zhou San.
The beastmasters behind Ning Yi and Zhou San looked at the two.
Although they participated in the battle not long ago, they were followers of the two.
Ning Yi immediately turned around and said to the beastmasters behind him: "Let's go, let's go divide the spoils."
Zhou San's eyes flickered, never mind, since he had already come this far, it didn't matter if he took one more step. So he said to the elders behind him: "Uncle San, you take the rest of the family with you."
Zhou Xiong understood what his nephew meant, and said to the other Zhou family beastmasters: "Let's go, let's go divide the spoils."
After the news that Chen Xing and his team solved the mine and forcefully killed the seventh elder of the Chi family, Chi Xie, spread, the other four mercenary groups did not believe it at first, but after confirming the authenticity of the news, they changed their views on the newly established Huangshi Mercenary Group.
"I didn't expect that this Huangshi Mercenary Group was so capable that they actually killed an elder of the Chi Family."
"Have you found out who killed him?"
"Some say it was Mr. Chen, and some say it was a master around Mr. Chen."
The news from the Huangshi Mercenary Group was both true and false.
It was difficult for many ordinary beastmasters to know the truth, but the other four mercenary groups and the City Lord's Mansion, which were more informed, knew the truth.
"He was able to kill a beastmaster who had transcended the sixth level." In the City Lord's Mansion, Su Lai was shocked by the news. Chen Xing looked quite young, and seemed to be less than 20 years old.
"Geniuses are always different from ordinary people." Gu Yuzhi chuckled, thinking of the first time he met Chen Xing in the illusion.
At that time, he was just an ordinary beastmaster. After Chen Xing died in the illusion, he posthumously conferred him the title of Colonel.
Of course, it was only a posthumous title in the illusion, and it did not affect reality.
But now, even if his strength was placed in reality, he could still sit firmly in the position of Colonel.
As for the general level. Although he hadn't been back for a long time, there have been many strong men in Daxia in recent years, and every position in the army has a group of geniuses to compete for.
To be able to become a general level, you must at least be a high-ranking one.
Suddenly, a pigeon flew quickly in the sky.
A specially responsible beastmaster untied the letter tied to the pigeon's feet and presented it to Gu Yuzhi.
Gu Yuzhi untied the ribbon and opened the letter.
A ripple flashed in her originally peaceful eyes, "Fentian Giant City is willing to send him here."
Curiosity flashed in Su Lai's eyes, but he didn't ask too much.
He remembered his identity, and the city lord would tell him what he wanted to say, and he couldn't ask too much about what he didn't want to say.
"You see." Gu Yuzhi threw the letter to Su Lai.
Su Lai took the letter and was horrified after checking it.
Mr. Liu of the Gray Fox is dead!
The gentleman of each mercenary group is the core leader.
Just like Mr. Chen of the Yellowstone Mercenary Group that was established not long ago.
Mr. Liu is the core figure of the Gray Fox. I heard that he is from Jinye Guard!
The intelligence says that the First Supreme of Jiuchi City and the new military leader, two strong men, rushed across thousands of miles to attack the Gray Fox.
Mr. Liu, the Gray Fox, was defeated and killed!
In the intelligence, the First Supreme was just a raid and did not make a move from beginning to end, while the new military leader only summoned a beast to complete a series of five feats.
Killed Mr. Liu on the spot!
In the intelligence, Mr. Liu is also a high-ranking transcendent.
He has the "Mountain Moving Demon Ape" of the seventh level of transcendence.
"This new military leader is going to die." Gu Yuzhi said.
Su Lai was puzzled at first, and then reacted, "Is Daxia going to take action?"
"Not Daxia, the death of Liu Ye will not alarm the entire Daxia, but it can alarm Jinye Guard. Jinye Guard has not suffered such a big loss for many years."
This news was rushed back to Daxia overnight.
Just as Gu Yuzhi said, the death of a high-ranking transcendental person would not cause an earthquake in Daxia. In addition, this mission was special, so it was not widely spread, but only caused a certain response in a local area.
However, it caused a big earthquake within the Jinye Guard.
Because Liu Ye was the purple-clothed commander, second only to the red-clothed commander.
There were only 20 purple-clothed commanders in the Jinye Guard, and each red-clothed commander had two purple-clothed commanders under his command.
More importantly, there had been no purple-clothed commander-level figures dying in the Jinye Guard for 30 years.
And he did not die in a particularly important place, but was beheaded in a local war against Jiuchi City.
For the Jinye Guard, who were mainly spies, this kind of death was equivalent to being slapped hard by a dwarf who jumped up with all his strength.
Shameful, even more shameful.
In the evening of the next day, the teleportation array flickered.
A slender figure stepped out of the teleportation array.
A young man followed behind him.
"Sir, do we need to notify the Gray Fox?"
"No." The slender figure was wearing a black cloak, a black exquisite hat on his head, and a veil hanging down to cover his face.
"Liu Ye is a waste. As a purple-robed commander, he was suddenly beheaded. It's embarrassing to spread this way of death. Do you know what the other red-robed people said about me yesterday?" The man under the hat spoke calmly, without much emotion.
But he knew the lord well and understood that the lord was not in a good mood at the moment.
Qin Xuan lowered his head and dared not say more.
"Accompany me for a walk." Ming Junting said casually.
"By the way, I remember Chen Xing seemed to be here too?"
"Yes, sir, and he is also in charge of a mercenary group called the Yellowstone Mercenary Group."
The day before he came, Qin Xuan made up for intelligence and learned a lot of news here.
"Let's go see him first."
Ming Junting's arrival was very unexpected to Chen Xing.
He didn't expect Ming Junting to come.
Chen Xing was about to say hello, but Ming Junting waved his hand slightly. Chen Xing understood and swallowed his words immediately.
In terms of position, although the two were not in the same department, Ming Junting's position was much higher than his.
"This is not a place to talk, follow me."
Chen Xing took Ming Junting to a quiet room deep in the house.
Ming Junting asked: "Do you know the purpose of my visit?"
"Yes."
Even if Chen Xing didn't know about it on the day of the incident, after the news had fermented for a day, Chen Xing also learned that the leader of the Gray Fox had been beheaded.
I didn't expect the new legion commander to be so ruthless, and he didn't know how he obtained the information. He confided his head and beheaded the head of the gray fox.
"There must be a traitor in the Gray Fox, otherwise Liu Ye's location would not be known." Ming Junting said directly.
Chen Xing looked at Ming Junting, waiting for what he would say next.
"So I came here to borrow someone from you. It's not rude to come or go back. If the other party kills my people, I will kill the higher-ups on the other side." Ming Junting said calmly.
"Master Ming, there are traitors in the Gray Fox, so my mercenary group must be clean?" Chen Xing shook his head.
Although these more than 500 people are all the old city guard troops summoned by Gu Yuzhi.
However, some of these retired city guards have been out of the military for a few years, and many have not been in the military for decades.
Who knows if they can do it cleanly.
It's just that it's easy to use now, so Chen Xing just uses it accordingly.
"Instead of borrowing from those below, I want to borrow from the masters."
Chen Xing was stunned and raised his hands, "I am just a grassroots team here, how can there be any masters?"
"There's someone sitting in front of me."
Chen Xing shook his head repeatedly, "I can't take it."
Ming Junting continued: "Besides you, there is another person, Qin Zhou."
Qin Zhou, this name is a bit unfamiliar. Chen Xing thought about it and quickly identified a person. If the person next to him is most likely to be named Qin Zhou, it should be Uncle Qin next to Zhao Guangming.
"Uncle Qin belongs to Brother Zhao, I can't make the decision."
Ming Junting said: "I won't let your help go in vain. All the spoils of this trip belong to you. I only want their lives."
Chen Xing was stunned, "All the trophies?"
"all."
"Who else is there besides me and Uncle Qin?"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Ming Junting's eyes, "I will also borrow someone from Resistance Heart, but don't worry, I will give other rewards to that person, so the spoils of this trip will still belong to you."
Chen Xing's eyes flickered, and he heard that the person who killed Liu Ye was a high-ranking detachment, and the wealth of a high-ranking detachment was indeed very rich.
If there are any rare secret treasures in the storage accessories like Chi Yan, it would be even more joyous.
After all, the world is such a big place, and I am not the only one who has a chance.
"Sir Ming, if the enemy is high-ranking and detached, it may be difficult for me to escape." Chen Xing answered "honestly".
"You don't need to deal with the high-level detachment, you just need to help me hold down the other detachments below the high-level one."
Now that he had said that, Chen Xing thought for a moment and said, "I need to seek Uncle Qin's opinion."
Qin Zhou is not his, but Brother Zhao's. Whether he takes action or not depends on Brother Zhao's own opinion.
"Uncle Qin will go."
Zhao Guangming's voice came from outside the door. He pushed the door open and walked in. Behind him were Qin Zhou and Qin Xuan. The two seemed to know each other and were talking in a low voice.
After coming in, Zhao Guangming said to Chen Xing: "Brother Xuan told me just now that there is no problem with this matter."
Brother Xuan?
Chen Xing looked at Qin Xuan behind him. It seemed that Qin Xuan and Zhao Guangming knew each other.
Seeing the similar facial features between Qin Xuan and Qin Zhou, Chen Xing understood.
