Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 55: Ghostly Reinforcements
In the distance, dust was raised high, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling the earth and the neighing of earth dragon horses could be faintly showed that a huge Ruoye cavalry was approaching Yonghui City!
It's reinforcements!
Mu Feng subconsciously thought so!
But who are they coming? Could it be another expeditionary force led by General Zhuguo?
When Mu Feng was still wondering what group of people the reinforcements from afar were coming from, a young wizard in a white robe slowly landed beside him. Mu Feng subconsciously took a look and saw that the young man in the white robe raised his arms high. At this time, a thin inky black line appeared at his wrists, slowly crawled along his arms to his head and neck, and then went down along his spine, and in the blink of an eye it covered his entire body.
Then, the inky black threads made up of countless runes spread out rapidly from his body to all directions like flowers scattered by a fairy from heaven. Everything happened in just an instant. Another black-armored undead swung a giant palm in the direction where the two of them were. However, the giant palm did not fall for a long time, because the black-armored undead was instantly bound by the inky black runes that fell from the sky.
Then the young man in white robe shouted angrily : "Break!"
The black-armored undead turned into a wisp of black smoke in an instant.
As expected, when it comes to magic in the world, no one can match Wizard Sha Mo!
Wizard Sha Mo... Thinking of the angry roar of Qiongqi that he had just heard above his head, Mu Feng suddenly understood why the wizard Sha Mo in white robe appeared here.
Thinking of this, he looked up hurriedly and met the eyes of Ping Lili, who was riding on Qiongqi and was about to fly over the west gate. Ping Lili smiled indifferently and nodded in greeting, leaving Mu Feng with a free and easy back.
In fact, Ping Lili had seen this brave Ruoye general from afar before. Mu Feng's fiery red hair was so eye-catching on the city wall, especially his single-handed battle to the death on the city wall, which made Ping Lili admire him quite a bit. That's why she changed her mind temporarily and let go of Yan Zheng, who was originally planned to be used as a helper to assassinate General Chiguo, to help him defend the city together.
After all, dealing with non-living creatures like the Black-armored Undead is not the strong point of the Ruoye tribe. The defenders' passivity in the face of the Black-armored Undead is obvious at this moment, and once the west gate is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although Yan Zheng was a little hesitant, after all, protecting Gong Lili was his duty, and the loss of Yonghui City had little to do with him. But Gong Lili did not give him any chance to hesitate, and almost unceremoniously pushed him off the back of Qiongqi.
He then said, "Yan Zheng, I'll leave the West Gate to you. Don't damage the reputation of our Sha Mo Wizard!"
Hearing this, Yan Zheng's back subconsciously straightened. He quickly understood Ping Lili's intention and took action immediately without saying a word. This was the straightforward aspect of Yan Zheng's character.
Most importantly, he didn't know that the purpose of Ying Lili's trip was to assassinate the General Zhiguo. He had only heard Ying Lili casually say that he was going to do something for the imperial physician. If Yan Zheng knew that Ying Lili was going to do something as dangerous as assassination, he would have already used the kite to follow him.
At this time, Gong Lili rode Qiongqi and circled above the west gate for a moment, then quickly locked onto the target, because the purple armor of General Chiguo was really eye-catching among the chaotic army.
However, Ping Lili did not intend to act rashly. The imperial physician had already said before that the opponent was a master second only to Senior Brothers Long Yu and Wu Su. If she attacked rashly, she would not gain much advantage.
What made Pinglili even more curious was what secrets did General Zhiguo know that caused the imperial physician to rush to find someone to silence him?
Gong Lili didn't believe the explanation given by the imperial physician before at all. The rebels were controlled by the Kongming tribe wizards. To put it nicely, General Chiguo was the leader of the rebels, but to put it bluntly, he was just a puppet general. Killing him or not might not make much sense. Otherwise, given Long Yu's temper, why would he let him go so easily before?
Why was this imperial physician so eager to kill him? And why did he go to so much trouble to trick him into doing it? There must be something fishy going on!
At this time, General Chiguo's attention was all on the unknown cavalrymen who suddenly joined the battle in the distance, and he did not notice the unusual phenomenon above the west gate.
Ping Lili's heart moved, and she called Wei Xingying anxiously with her mind. A bold and adventurous plan came to her mind, but this required the help of Wei Xingying and others.
Li Ying and Wei Xingying, who were trapped in the chaos, were probably feeling extremely frustrated at this moment.
Previously, they had captured the leader of the Wind Wing Army, Gu Li, and with the help of Qing Luan, they had roughly controlled most of the rebels of the Wind Wing Army after a battle of wits and courage. The original plan was to fight poison with poison, using the barely recovered Wind Wing Army to fight the almost hopeless Wind Cavalry Army, at least to disrupt their siege plan and relieve some pressure on the defenders of the West Gate. However, after the Kong Ming Clan appeared at the East Gate, all the previous efforts were wasted in an instant!
Those Fengyi Army rebels who had been somewhat conscious under Qingluan's clear flute spell seemed to feel something in an instant, and let out heart-wrenching roars. Then they were enveloped by a huge dark force, and instantly returned to their previous confused state, and even became more violent and bloodthirsty than before!
Fortunately, the 10,000 men in the First Battalion, who had been freed from the curse by Ping Lili with the "Nine Yin Mysterious Wilderness Blood", now seemed to be conscious and were no longer affected by the poison of the Kongming Clan. This was also thanks to the well-trained soldiers of Li Ying. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately reorganized the First Battalion's forces with flag signals. Under Li Ying's leadership, the soldiers of the First Battalion were still able to form a formation and stubbornly deal with the Fengyi Army rebels that were almost out of control.
Even Qingluan, a maid from Penglai Fairyland, had no better way at this moment. After all, the key to breaking the curse was Yinglili's 'Nine Yin Mysterious Wilderness Blood'. Her clear sound flute spell could only play an auxiliary role in breaking the curse. Previously, almost all of the Kongming tribe wizards who secretly controlled the Fengyi Army were sent to the ghost realm by Yinglili, and the Fengyi Army was once in chaos, so it could barely be controlled by the flute sound. But at this moment, when the Kongming tribe army appeared, the mysterious and powerful poisonous power regained the minds of the rebels, and she was no longer able to do anything.
There is no other way to save him except to kill him.
At this time, she, Wei Xingying, Zeze and others were waiting for Li Ying to make the final decision. As soon as Li Ying opened his mouth, they would lead the First Battalion to start a killing spree.
Suddenly, war drums beat and trumpets sounded behind him!
The unique sound of the conch shell of the Ruoye tribe startled Li Ying who was making the final decision in his heart.
Who could be coming? If it was reinforcements, it would be a blessing. If it was another group of rebels, then...
When the huge flag with the word "Su" on it appeared in Li Ying's sight, no matter how calm Li Ying was, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Under the general's banner, there is a fierce general with a burly build, wearing a red battle robe and a black cloak, holding a 10-foot-long jet-black spear. Looking at the entire Ruoye tribe, who else could it be except that man!
It’s General Su Ye!
The bravest general of the Ruoye tribe, General Su Ye, who was born in the Ruoye tribe's most mysterious assassination corps "Anbu", and is known as the "Red Armor Shura"!
And the army led by General Su Ye at this time was none other than his Dragon Cavalry! And it looked like a complete and high-spirited Dragon Cavalry! A full 50,000 Dragon Cavalry!
These are reinforcements!
Seeing the way the dragon cavalry formed their formation, Li Ying made this judgment almost instantly!
But what Li Ying couldn't figure out was why the Dragon Cavalry appeared here at this time? Why didn't Mu Feng and Wei Xingying find their traces before? And judging from the way they formed the formation, it seemed that they were well prepared, as if they had expected this situation long ago!
Perhaps, except for Long Yu, no one here, no matter they were from the Ruoye tribe or the Kongming tribe, had expected that the Dragon Cavalry Army that had been defeated in Licheng, and that was said to have been beaten to pieces by the Kongming tribe, would appear here in such a neat and powerful posture at this time!
Yes, this is Long Yu’s first trump card!
The Dragon Cavalry pretended to be defeated and fled, but in fact they were gathering their strength and quietly following the Kongming army all the way, ready to kill them from behind at any time without warning.
It was also thanks to General Su Ye, who was the most strict in military discipline, that he was able to lead such a huge cavalry team of nearly 50,000 people as quietly and silently as a ghost in the dark night.
However, Li Ying was feeling very nervous at this moment. The Dragon Cavalry was a famous iron-blooded army of the Ruoye tribe. General Su Ye's style of commanding the army was just like himself, iron-blooded and ruthless. Even if the emperor was in front of him, as long as he identified him as an enemy, he would order him to be killed without hesitation!
Judging from the Dragon Cavalry's behavior, they must have been watching from a distance for quite some time, and chose to join the battle at this moment. Could it be that General Su Ye judged that this fratricide between compatriots is really irreversible?
Once the Dragon Cavalry appears, it will be a life-and-death fight!
As if to confirm Li Ying's worst premonition, at this moment, the sound of the dragon cavalry's war drums in the distance became more urgent, and the sound of horns directly crossed the sky and filled the entire world!
Sure enough, General Su Ye came to kill the rebels!
Is there really nothing else we can do? Can we just kill each other?
Li Ying's brain was working rapidly. No, there must be another way. Although the minds of these rebels were controlled by the poison of the Kongming tribe at this time, they all had the blood of the Ruoye tribe flowing in their bodies. They were all brothers of Li Ying. Not to mention the Fengqi Army who were deeply poisoned, but the tens of thousands of Fengyi Army brothers in front of him, Li Ying did not want them to die at the hands of their own people no matter what.
