Chapter 1417: Chapter 1417 Nowhere to Go
"What did King Xifeng say?" Qu Jing’s face darkened as he asked the commander.
"King Xifeng said that it was too late. When his reinforcements arrived, our army should have been wiped out. Moreover, even if he sends his troops out to fight, without having any geographical advantage, it will be useless if we have fewer troops!" The commander replied.
"Yes, I got it! Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest!" Qu Jing sent the commander off to rest.
"Your Highness, although the analysis of King Xifeng is correct, it does not seem to be very righteous!" Wen Chernggang was the first to say, "Maybe he really has some difficulties!" Qu Jing sighed.
Ye Liuyun suddenly felt that King Xifeng might not be as good as Qu Jing said. If it was a friendship that had gone through life and death with him, no matter what, he should have done his best to provide reinforcements.
"It seems that Qu Jing has no place to go with his soldiers here! I am afraid that only the terrain there can resist the attack of the empire!" He thought to himself.
Originally, he planned to send Qu Jing and the others to the Phoenix River to search for resources nearby. Now, it seemed that he had to follow Qu Jing and the others for a look and leave after they were settled down.
"What difficulties! I think he has forgotten that you saved his life!" Wen Chernggang complained discontentedly.
"There is no need to mention what had happened in the past! Now it is time for us to lead the army to escape. In the future, do not say such things anymore!" Qu Jing ordered Wen Chernggang.
Wen Chernggang sighed and stopped talking, but his expression was very dissatisfied.
As for Qu Jing, he looked at Ye Liuyun and smiled awkwardly.
Ye Liuyun could tell that he was helpless and did not say anything. He did not know what kind of person King Xifeng was, so it was not suitable for him to evaluate.
After a while, he asked Qu Jing, "What kind of terrain is that in King Xifeng’s area? How can he block the attack of the empire? How can they get resources there?"
Qu Jing then explained to Ye Liuyun patiently.
"The Phoenix River is tens of miles wide, and there is a strong wind on the river, so we can only pass through it by using warships. The martial practitioners in the Sacred Terra realm can also fly above the river, but the army cannot.
As for King Xifeng, he had set up many pieces of equipment beside the riverbank to bombard the warships. Therefore, based on this alone, it was extremely difficult for the empire to go across the river.
Furthermore, on the other side of the river, there was another region of mountain. King Xifeng had set up a large number of traps in the mountain forest. Thus, if they wanted to attack King Xifeng, they would not be able to do so without several times the strength of their troops.
It is not that the empire cannot fight. It is just that they do not want to waste that much force!"
Qu Jing paused for a moment before he started to introduce the resources of King Xifeng’s territory to Ye Liuyun.
"The final destination of King Xifeng’s territory is a cone-shaped mountain peak. Its three mountain ridges are three spiritual stone mineral veins that are extended to ten miles.
However, he could not mine most of the mineral veins because the centre of the spiritual stone mineral vein was surrounded by the Devil Crystal and Fire Crystal mineral veins.
So he can only collect a small part from the spiritual stone mineral veins of the three mountain ridges. But those are enough for his army’s expenses!"
Ye Liuyun felt excited when he heard this.
"Devil Crystal, Fire Crystal mineral veins, and those three spiritual stone mineral veins. They are really rich in resources!"
He immediately decided to explore the place and did not want to leave for the time being.
This was the largest mineral vein he had found since he came here. It was a spiritual stone mineral vein that was dozens of miles long, surrounded by a circle of Devil Crystal and Fire Crystals!
He had never seen such a large mineral vein before!
How could he bear to leave after encountering such a rare resource.
Along the way, he found a few relatively small mineral veins, but he did not take any action. Those mineral veins were so barren that he could not bear to take action. It was better to leave them for the locals to practice.
However, he did not reveal his thoughts.
He planned to sneak in and sneak out to explore. In this way, even if he made big trouble, no one would know that it was he who did it! ƒгeewebnovёl.com
One or two days later, the warship arrived in front of a turbulent river.
At the other end of the river, there was a warship parked on the shore.
A man who dressed like a commander led two teams of soldiers to welcome Qu Jing.
"Lord Qu, I am here on the orders of King Xifeng to wait for the battle!" The commander greeted Qu Jing and the others from afar.
"Thank you so much, Commander!" Qu Jing said politely.
"It looks like this King Xifeng really did not treat Qu Jing as a friend. Not only does he not go to provide reinforcements, he does not even come personally to greet him!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
"You are welcome, Lord Qu. I will lead the way for you this time. Please also arrange for the commanders to form a team of warships and follow my route. I am familiar with a path with the least wind and waves so that it will be easier for everyone to cross the river!" The commander said to Qu Jing again.
"Okay!" Qu Jing nodded and immediately asked Wen Chernggang to arrange the order of the warships and let them cross the river one by one as required.
Then, the commander’s warship also began to move, leading the way for them.
Ye Liuyun and Qu Jing took the lead and followed behind the warship.
When they arrived at the opposite bank, the soldiers disembarked. The commander then went to inform King Xifeng.
Ye Liuyun also began to observe the environment here.
The temperature here was much higher than in other places. When they got off the warship, they felt very hot here.
Ye Liuyun opened his Divine Sense and realized that it was because of the Fire Crystals nearby, which was why the temperature was slightly higher.
Therefore, the temperature should be higher if they were closer to the Fire Crystal mineral vein. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
He could not help but be secretly delighted. "I have finally found a good resource!"
Within the range of his Divine Sense, the mountains were being cleaned up. Many of the buildings were built on the mountains.
There were also quite some trebuchets on the shore that were similar to the ones used to attack the city. They were probably used to attack the warships crossing the river.
Ye Liuyun had long discovered that none of the warships in this world had any offensive abilities, and their defensive capabilities were also significantly weakened.
He still had two warships with him. If he took them out, they could be treated as treasures.
However, this kind of thing was too rare and would arouse the suspicion of others. So, Ye Liuyun would not take it out to use easily.
Qu Jing’s army had been waiting in line for a long time before King Xifeng arrived.
A bearded man, surrounded by several commanders, laughed and greeted Qu Jing from afar!
"Haha, Lord Qu, it has been a long time since we last met. You are still as elegant as ever! Even the four hundred thousand soldiers of the Empire could not do anything to you!"
Ye Liuyun also sized up King Xifeng and realized that he was only a martial practitioner at the third level of the Fate Realm.
"It is really strange here. All of their realms are not high!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
Qu Jing also hurried over to greet him.
"I am really at a dead end. I need to come to you for help! Sorry to bother you!" Qu Jing said in a very humble manner.
