The Return of the Demon

Chapter 465: Vomiting Blood

In Gaotian City, Kang Luo's face was as dark as water after listening to Wei Jian's report.

Daxuan's cavalry suddenly turned around and retreated five miles away from the city.

It was hard not to make him suspect that there was a spy around him who had been tipping off Ning Chen.

"Wei Jian, who else did you tell about the ambush?"

Wei Jian said hurriedly: "After the general received the order, he led his people out of the city without telling anyone."

"you sure?"

Wei Jian nodded.

Kang Luo frowned. That was strange. Could it be Wei Jian's general?

Wei Jian had a look of panic. He was worried that Kang Luo would doubt him, so he fell to his knees and said, "I will be loyal to the fourth prince and will never betray him."

Kang Luo waved his hand, "Get up, I know it's not you!"

He still trusts Wei Jian and follows him through life and death, and is loyal to him.

At this moment, someone outside the door asked to see him.

"Come in!"

A general wearing armor walked in quickly with a panicked look on his face.

Kang Luo saw something wrong with his expression and had a bad feeling, "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the fourth prince, we have just received news that Yuebei City and Yuezhong City have been lost one after another."

Kang Luo's head buzzed and his face turned pale.

Wei Jian was also extremely shocked.

After a long time, Kang Luo came back to his senses. He suspected that he had heard wrongly, "Can you say it again?"

"Fourth Prince, Yuebei City and Yuezhong City have been lost one after another and have been breached by Daxuan."

The news was like a blast of thunder exploding in Kang Luo's ears, making his eyes darken and his body swaying.

Wei Jian hurriedly reached out to help him, his face full of worry, "Fourth Prince, are you okay?"

Kang Luo shook his head, his face pale.

"Is the news accurate?"

"Back to the Fourth Prince, it's absolutely true. The news has spread throughout Gao Liguo."

Kang Luo's eyes were dull and he murmured: "This is impossible. There are 30,000 troops stationed in Yuebei City and 20,000 troops stationed in Yuezhong City... Who else in Daxuan has such ability besides Ning Chen?"

"Back to the fourth prince, it was the Ning'an Army. The general's name was Yuan Long. He led 10,000 Ning'an troops. Their fighting power was so strong that they conquered two cities in a row in just ten days. ”

Kang Luo lost his voice and said: "It's impossible... According to the news we got, Ning Chen only brought 10,000 Ning'an troops when he came... Now 5,000 Ning'an troops are stationed outside Gaotian City, how could Yuan Long lead Ten thousand..."

Suddenly, Kang Luo's voice stopped abruptly.

"Fooled, we were fooled!"

What did Kang Luo think of? Keep mumbling to yourself.

Wei Jian looked at Kang Luo with a worried look, "Fourth Prince, are you okay?"

Kang Luo grabbed Wei Jian's arm, his finger bones turning white from the exertion, and shouted: "Give me the order to assemble the army and leave the city immediately."

"Ning Chen has been playing tricks on us. We have all been deceived. There is no Ning'an Army around him at all. Those Ning'an Army's battle flags are used to confuse us."

"The five thousand Ning'an troops around him have already gone to join the Ning'an troops at Jianxuan Pass."

"He has been delaying to buy time for the Ning'an Army... He only has more than 20,000 people around him now. He immediately ordered the army to be assembled. This time, he must swallow Ning Chen's 20,000 people."

Wei Jian also realized that Ning Chen had been treating them like monkeys in their relationship.

They have seen the combat effectiveness of the Ning'an Army, and what they fear is the Ning'an Army and its powerful firearms.

Unexpectedly, the five thousand Ning'an troops around Ning Chen had already gone to support the Ning'an troops at Jianxuan Pass.

This cunning, despicable thing.

"I will obey your orders!"

Wei Jian ran away.

Kang Luo took off his white clothes and put on gold armor.

This time, he wanted to confront Ning Chen head-on and vowed to swallow Ning Chen's 20,000 people.

Kang Luo strode out of the room, came outside, got on his horse, and prepared to go to the city gate.

As a result, Wei Jian, who had just left not long ago, came galloping over on horseback.

Before the horse could stop, Wei Jian turned over and dismounted. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was twitching. He bit his back teeth and said, "Fourth Prince, Ning Chen has withdrawn his troops!"

Kang Luo lost his voice and said, "What did you say?"

"The scout reported that Ning Chen's army withdrew a few hours ago."

Kang Luo froze. He hadn't had a good rest for days, and the continuous blows made his blood surge. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he fell off the horse.

"Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince..."

Wei Jian was so frightened that his soul flew away.

Fortunately, he was very skilled and Kankan caught Kang Luo, preventing his head from coming into close contact with the ground.

When Kang Luo woke up again, it was already the next day.

Several generals were guarding him.

"Fourth Prince, it's great that you're awake... Gao Liguo has assembled 60,000 troops and is heading towards Gaotian City, vowing to take back Gaotian City."

House seemingly endless rain.

Hearing such 'good news' as soon as he woke up, Kang Luo's eyes darkened and he almost fainted again.

Wei Jian quickly fed him some water.

"Fourth Prince, don't worry, things will always be solved."

Kang Luo held on and asked, "How long until Gao Liguo's army arrives?"

"We can reach Gaotian City in five days."

Kang Luo said weakly: "Let the soldiers recharge their batteries and set off in three days to return to Jianxuan Pass."

Wei Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Fourth Prince, we can't go back."

"What's the meaning?"

Wei Jian said: "The latest news is that Daxuan has taken Jianxuan Pass, and Yuebei City and Yuezhong City have not retreated... Daxuan has sent 60,000 troops to station in Jianxuan Pass."

"During the time when Ning Chen was holding us back, these three cities were almost emptied by them... all the valuables were swept away."

Kang Luo's head was buzzing and his eyes were black.

He asked hoarsely and with difficulty: "Did Ning Chen order a massacre?"

Wei Jian said: "No, he didn't let Daxuan's soldiers hurt a single civilian."

"I also found out one thing... Ning Chen's Ning'an Army can fly."

Kang Luo's expression froze for a moment.

After a long while, he turned his head to look at Wei Jian, "What are you talking about? How can people fly?"

"Fourth Prince, it's not people flying... It's something like a lantern, with a bamboo basket hanging below. People sit in the bamboo basket, and that thing can take people flying."

"Jianxuanguan, Yuebei City, and Yuezhong City were taken down like this... Some of them rode on those big flying lanterns, and then threw down those explosive things."

"Once chaos is caused, people outside the city will use those large muskets, which are the ones we encountered outside the Daxuan border before. The iron balls fired can smash the city gates."

"Once the city gates are blown open, our people are no match at all. They have things that explode when thrown out like a mallet, and a bow and arrow with a fast shooting speed and terrifying penetration, which can easily penetrate armor."

"Moreover, their weapons are also very strange, like a stick, with great force and heavy power. Once hit, the sword and gun will break, and people will either die or be injured."

"Our people are like paper, they will collapse at the touch of a button, and..."

Kang Luo roared, "Stop talking!"
