Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 1097 Connection
After trekking all night and crossing mountains and rivers, Li Jiu returned to Southern Xinjiang with the reorganized 50,000 Dragon Soul Army a day later.
Along the way, out of caution, Li Jiu activated his soul control ability almost the entire time to investigate the situation around him.
After all, the alliance today is already filled with patrolling troops of defenders, and if one is not careful one might be discovered by the enemy or even besieged.
As soon as he entered the mountains of southern Xinjiang, Li Jiu used his soul detection skills to discover that there was a team of about a dozen people wandering around the Dragon Soul Army, following them for a long distance.
However, considering that the other party did not seem to be hostile and was only performing a task similar to reconnaissance, Li Jiu did not directly reveal the other party's existence.
Moreover, Li Jiu estimated that the other party was most likely sent by the Blue Blood Empire to take over the array base, but they seemed to still have doubts about the identity of the Dragon Soul Army and did not dare to contact everyone rashly. Therefore, they chose to hide in the dark cautiously and observe first.
"Hmm? We are already deep in the mountains of southern Xinjiang, but this group of people haven't come up to greet us. Could it be that they were sent by the Blue Blood Empire?" Leading the Dragon Soul Army through the dense forest, Li Jiu looked at the surrounding environment, frowned slightly, and wondered inwardly.
Thinking of this, Li Jiu didn't plan to wait any longer and was ready to call the other party out to ask questions directly. So he waved his hand and suddenly ordered the army behind him to stop: "You have followed for so long, it's time for you to come out and show your faces, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the 50,000 Dragon Soul Army stopped at the same time. Everyone stood still like a sculpture, and the scene was suddenly silent.
The people behind Li Jiu were stunned for a moment, and then immediately became alert, their fingers unconsciously on the triggers of their weapons.
"Captain, are we being followed? How many people are there?" Zhao Wu walked to Li Jiu's side and asked solemnly. As the actual commander of the Dragon Soul Army, Zhao Wu's combat awareness was far more acute than everyone else's. On the way back, he was always prepared for any encounter he might encounter.
"Don't worry, there are not many people on the other side, only twenty or thirty. They have been following us secretly. I guess they might be sent by the Blue Blood Empire." Li Jiu said calmly.
Hearing that the other side had only twenty or thirty people and could not possibly threaten the 50,000 Dragon Soul Army, Zhao Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The solemn expression on his face also eased a lot, and he turned his eyes to scan the dense forest around him.
At the same time, the group of people hiding in the dense forest were immediately horrified after hearing Li Jiu's voice.
They originally thought that if they had hidden well enough, even those awakened ones with the ability of clairvoyance would not be able to easily discover their whereabouts. However, they did not expect that it seemed that they had been discovered by Li Jiu a long time ago.
But how could they know that Li Jiu's soul detection method was not only more advanced than the ability of clairvoyance, but also with Li Jiu's current strongest spiritual power below the king level, there were really not many things in this world that could be hidden quietly within tens of thousands of meters around him without being discovered by him .
"What? You still don't want to come out? Do you have to let me send someone to invite you out?" After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party didn't move at all, Li Jiu couldn't help but frowned and said in a slightly cold voice.
"General Li Jiu, calm down. We will be out soon!"
Hearing some dissatisfaction in Li Jiu's tone, the group of people hiding in the dark immediately shouted nervously.
They all knew very well that if they angered Li Jiu, with only twenty or thirty of them, even if they were all level eight warriors, they would not be able to defeat the 50,000 dragon soul army.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound in the jungle, and dozens of black shadows emerged from the woods behind the left side of the army.
Seeing the other party show up, tens of thousands of eyes at the scene looked over at the same time.
The people coming were a group of elite soldiers wearing dark blue uniforms, holding brand new weapons and with agile skills.
Under the cold gazes of tens of thousands of people, the dozens of people who appeared felt as if they were suddenly shrouded in an invisible and huge pressure. They quickly quickened their pace and ran towards Li Jiu.
"They are indeed people from the Blue Blood Empire..." Li Jiu felt relieved when he saw that the blue military uniforms on this group of people were exactly the same as the group of people who appeared in front of the mountain gate of the Blue Blood Empire last time.
"General Li Jiu, don't get me wrong. We are from the Blue Blood Empire. I'm sure the people above have already informed you before this, right?"
After the dozens of blue-clad soldiers ran up to Li Jiu, the man in their lead, a major general, immediately put on a smile and spoke to Li Jiu.
"Since you are from the Blue Blood Empire, why have you followed us for so long without coming out to meet us? Do you have any concerns ?" Li Jiu nodded, answering the other party, and then asked back.
"Well... General, as you know, there are people from the Defender Empire everywhere now. Even the remote mountains in southern Xinjiang are no longer peaceful. In order to ensure that you and others are not from the Defender Empire, we have to observe in secret for a while." The leading blue-clad soldier answered in panic.
"In that case, why don't you use communication tools to contact us directly to confirm? As far as I know, you seem to be able to connect directly to our communication system?" Li Jiu asked.
"General, you must be talking about the communication method used by the Empire Headquarters to send notifications to the entire alliance, right?" The leading blue soldier said with a wry smile, "If it is that kind of thing, there is indeed one in the Empire Headquarters, but there is only one communication system in the entire empire that can contact almost any resistance army in the entire alliance without restrictions. As for the dozens of us, we don't have that kind of communication tool, so we can only hide in the dark and confirm it through slow observation."
"So that's how it is..." Li Jiu pondered and said, "Forget it. The formation base is in our team. I'm sure you've already seen it. It's the huge iron ball. You can take it away. But you'd better be careful on your way back . Don't let the Defender Empire rob you. I don't want to see the formation base that my brothers fought so hard to get, only to be lost by you."
"General, don't worry. Even if all of us lose our lives, we will never lose the base of the formation! Moreover, this base of the formation is of great importance. In order to ensure that it can be safely sent back to the empire, the top leaders of the empire have already formulated a complete plan. There will be no problem!" The leading blue-clad soldier solemnly promised.
"Well, that's good." Li Jiu nodded, seeming quite relieved.
In fact, he had already seen it. Not to mention whether the Blue Blood Empire had any other arrangements, the twenty or thirty people in front of him were all a powerful team composed of at least level seven warriors, and the three leaders among them were level eight warriors!
With such strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to safely deliver the array base to the Blue Blood Empire in the mountains of southern border, right in front of the Blue Blood Empire's gate.
"By the way, General, I have an extremely important piece of information to tell you this time!" After the leading blue-clothed soldier let several of his men take over the base of the formation, he suddenly said to Li Jiu solemnly .
