Chapter 1046: Two! Deep into Enemy Lines! Facing Double-Digit Emperor-Class Fierce Beasts!

The only thing that consoled Su Yang was that, given the speed at which the Beast Emperor was advancing with the main force, it would probably take them a month to get out of the Black Hushan Range and reach Black Tiger City.

In a month's time, if the Southeast Military Region put in some effort, they should be able to gather a large force at Black Tiger City—though whether the support from the General Headquarters could arrive in time was another matter!

After all, the powerful cultivators over at General Headquarters didn't just sit around in the headquarters acting like lords every day; the vast majority of them had to go out on missions.

Most of their missions were dangerous beast-slaying assignments.

Helping cities in various regions exterminate King-class and Emperor-class fierce beasts near them!

Of course, there was another strategy: evacuate the civilians from the cities near the Black Hushan Range, abandon the cities, and retreat directly.

But this method was still somewhat inadvisable.

Because history showed that, for most Beast Emperors, their armies only grew larger the longer they fought!

The Hurricane Howling Cloud Tiger hadn't been weak forty years ago, and there was no reason it would have grown weaker after a single defeat.

Su Yang felt that a Beast Emperor like the Hurricane Howling Cloud Tiger, which could lie dormant for forty years before making a comeback, had no reason to have declined.

Su Yang took a deep breath, had the Storm Eagle set Liu Mengyun and Xia Na down, explained the situation to the two women, and then used the Void Wanderer ability to temporarily leave the Black Hushan Range and report the movements of the Hurricane Howling Cloud Tiger's army to the Southeast Military Region.

Although Su Yang was a General, sometimes he lived like a quartermaster chief, and sometimes like the captain of a scout battalion.

But there was no helping it—who could replace him when his abilities were so outstanding?

This was probably the torment of every jack-of-all-trades!

No matter the job, he had to step in and lend a hand, and no one could take his place!

Leaving Liu Mengyun and Xia Na in the depths of the Black Hushan Range, Su Yang didn't need to worry too much about their safety.

Liu Mengyun herself was very strong; she could even withstand one or two attacks from Emperor-class fierce beasts.

On top of that, the area nearby was the territory of the Hurricane Howling Cloud Tiger's main force, so ordinary Emperor-class fierce beasts wouldn't dare enter that region.

Besides, the Hurricane Howling Cloud Tiger had probably long since cleared out the fierce beasts in the vicinity.

With the urgent intelligence delivered, by the time Su Yang returned to the Black Hushan Range, night had already fallen.

Liu Mengyun and Xia Na hadn't dared to light a fire, so they hid in a nearby thicket, waiting for Su Yang.

"How did it go?"

"I notified General Qian. General Qian told me to slow down the Hurricane Howling Cloud Tiger's march as much as possible, to buy more time for the Southeast Military Region."

Xia Na couldn't help but say, "Isn't that too dangerous? A whole group of Emperor-class fierce beasts—if you go, General, won't that be like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth?"
