Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302 Being Plotted Against
Ye Liuyun also asked Emperor Xia, "When are you planning to counterattack the foreign race?"
"In about two months," Emperor Xia told Ye Liuyun.
"Do you need me to do anything in the meantime?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"There’s no need for that! The foreign race has been suppressed for now, and there’s no way they can organize a large-scale counterattack. As long as you remain on the battlefield, they won’t dare to act recklessly!" Emperor Xia laughed.
"Alright then, I’ll stay here for the time being," Ye Liuyun didn’t tell Emperor Xia how long he would stay on the battlefield.
In fact, he had at least a month’s lead over Burial God this time.
Moreover, he he noticed that Burial God hadn’t immediately caught up with him.
"Perhaps he’s tired and needs some rest? Or maybe he’s venting his frustration on someone else?" Ye Liuyun wondered.
Ye Liuyun was even more worried because the Burial God had stopped pursuing him.
He didn’t know if the Burial God had any other methods to track him down.
But a few days later, the Burial God moved again.
"It seems like he couldn’t stay put for long and had to chase after me again," Ye Liuyun analyzed.
Actually, the Burial God had been resting for a few more days to track the reinforcements from the Ghostic Hell.
This allowed them to wait at the location where Ye Liuyun was expected to arrive, while he continued his pursuit of Ye Liuyun.
"It’s good that he’s on the move again," Ye Liuyun said, visibly relieved. With the Burial God’s pursuit reinitiated, he could relax and focus on his training.
On the battlefield, the armies of the imperial court also continued their preparations for a full-scale counteroffensive, replenishing their forces and supplies to get ready for the upcoming battle.
"Your Highness, should we participate?" Qin Peng started itching for action again.
This was a major campaign against the foreign race, a significant battle.
"It’s not about us choosing to participate; it’s that Emperor Xia doesn’t want us to participate. The final credit for this war must go to the imperial family. So stop thinking about it and just do your duty here!"
Ye Liuyun informed Qin Peng.
Qin Peng felt a bit disappointed. He asked, "Can we at least fight a few battles and enjoy ourselves?"
"That’s fine, but we can’t go too far. We can’t wipe out the entire foreign army’s forces, so we have to let some of them go!" Ye Liuyun suggested.
"Well, it’s better than not fighting at all!"
Qin Peng could only back down and go make preparations.
Soon, Qin Peng his troops to find suitable targets. The remaining defenses within the city were not particularly strong.
After all, this was no longer the front lines.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the city where Ye Liuyun was located was actually targeted by several small groups of foreign races.
These groups had fragmented, converged at the city, and assembled a force of ten thousand soldiers for an assault.
Fortunately, Ye Liuyun had his Formation Flag, the puppet Qin Peng, and 30,000 soldiers guarding the city, so it didn’t fall immediately.
"This is strange. How did the foreign race manage to come here?" Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but wonder.
An army of ten thousand, even if they split into smaller groups, should be easily detected by the frontline forces. It was impossible that there were no warning signs at all.
Moreover, there were many Sacred Majesty level experts within this force, and their offensive capabilities were significant, especially when it came to disrupting formations.
Blue Serpentine followed Fyeng Wanru and Ye Tiandao with Qin Peng as the leader as they went out to engage the foreign race. At the moment, Ye Liuyun lacked any Sacred Majesty level experts by his side.
Fortunately, the foreign races that arrived were primarily at the early to middle stages of the Sacred Majesty realm. If a late-stage Sacred Majesty expert had been among them, it would have been even more difficult for Ye Liuyun to defend himself.
Qin Peng received word and was rushing back with his troops.
He wanted Blue Serpentine to return to protect Ye Liuyun, but Ye Liuyun stopped him.
"Be careful, their target might not be me, but all of you. You must proceed with caution!" Ye Liuyun warned, fearing that the foreign race might have ulterior motives and didn’t want Blue Serpentine to leave Fyeng Wanru and the others.
"Alright! Nearby reinforcements are on their way; they should arrive in half a day," Qin Peng informed Ye Liuyun.
"Okay," Ye Liuyun agreed, but he had serious doubts about whether the reinforcements would actually return.
He suspected that someone from the imperial family was up to something once again. Otherwise, there was no other explanation for so many foreign race forces suddenly showing up at the front lines.
However, this problem could only be investigated later. He had to deal with the foreign race’s siege first.
In truth, Ye Liuyun was not worried at all. If things got too dire, he could simply use the Black Tower to escape, there was no need to stubbornly defend the city.
All the supplies for the transfer were in his Interspatial Ring, and he could take them with him, denying the foreign race any benefits.
He only wanted to hold out for as long as possible, not giving the city up to the foreign race.
Ye Liuyun was proficient in commanding his puppets, and they played a significant role in the battle, killing a considerable number of foreign race soldiers with their crossbows.
The Formation also caused substantial hindrances to the foreign race’s assault.
Ye Liuyun’s guess was correct. No reinforcements had come to support them.
Only Zuo Mu from the Devil Clan was leading troops to come to their rescue, but he was relatively far away. By the time he arrived, Ye Liuyun might not be able to hold on.
He was now in a precarious situation. Several Sacred Majesty-level experts from the foreign race were attacking the Formation. Once the Formation was broken, they could immediately charge into the city. fгeewebnovёl.com
"This is my last set of Formation Flags!" Ye Liuyun’s heart ached a little.. "I wonder where that guy, Qiong Qi, has gone."
He also thought of Qiong Qi now. It was only Qiong Qi who could create such powerful Formation Flags.
Seeing that they couldn’t hold out much longer, Ye Liuyun used a Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Zhuge Feiyu.
"How many Sacred Majesty-level martial practitioners in the middle and later stages do you have? Can you immediately mobilize them?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"More than thirty! What do you need them for?" Zhuge Feiyu asked.
"I’m surrounded by the foreign race. Borrow me twenty of them first. I’ll return to pick them up immediately. Get them ready and let them enter my Spatial World when the time comes!" Ye Liuyun instructed.
"Alright!" Zhuge Feiyu didn’t hesitate and immediately started gathering the troops. Ye Liuyun used the Black Tower to teleport to Yicity.
"Eh? He’s getting closer to me again? What’s this brat up to?" Ye Liuyun’s movement was detected by the Burial God, who sensed that Ye Liuyun’s position had changed and he was now closer to him.
Upon returning, Ye Liuyun immediately gathered the twenty Sacred Majesty-level martial practitioners into his Spatial World and then teleported back to the battlefield to release them.
"You guys go and eliminate the Sacred Majesty-level experts among the foreign race. Don’t worry about the others for now. After you’ve dealt with them, come and assist me!" Ye Liuyun instructed.
"Understood!" The group of individuals acknowledged his command, quickly assessed the surrounding situation, made some simple assignments, and then left the city to fight. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
In the meantime, Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to retrieve his Formation Flags.
