Chapter 2401

Because according to the system's notification, this was not Iron Blood Army's North Yao Town, but Blade Edge Army's North Song Town.

Completely different from what Jiang Chen said!

Zhao Chi also received this notification in his territory and was a bit dumbfounded.

The difference was way too great!

Not only was the arrival location different, even the faction was different.

Did Jiang Chen get it wrong?

While he was puzzling over it, Shangguan Ting sent a message.

Shangguan Ting 【Zhao Chi, I didn't deliberately send you wrong information on purpose, it's that guy Jiang Chen who doesn't trust us. He's afraid there are still spies among us, so he deliberately sent us a false notification. Honestly… that's why we ran 4 hours longer than the estimated time】

So that's how it was?

But it does make sense…

Jiang Chen's approach was indeed not wrong.

After all, even the vice captain Bai Zhenyu was a werewolf spy before. At a time like this when fleeing for their lives, they really couldn't trust anyone.

If there were still spies in the upper ranks, the werewolves would also know the World-Breaking Army's latest evacuation point, and that would be the end.

Although Shangguan Ting was complaining about Jiang Chen, from her tone one could tell she also approved.

Zhao Chi 【Understood, thanks for the explanation】

Shangguan Ting 【You're welcome~】

Only Shangguan Ting sent a message, specifically to explain.

Li Ruanyu didn't send a message.

After all, Li Ruanyu was different from Shangguan Ting; Li Ruanyu was Zhao Chi's woman, and the two of them had a very harmonious relationship.

Zhao Chi believed Li Ruanyu wouldn't lie to him.

Li Ruanyu also knew Zhao Chi believed she wouldn't deliberately deceive Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi also knew Li Ruanyu knew Zhao Chi believed she wouldn't deliberately deceive Zhao Chi.

So Li Ruanyu didn't need to come explain.

Very convoluted.

This was a chain of trust opposite to the chain of suspicion.

The chain of trust between Li Ruanyu and Zhao Chi had already been established, so Li Ruanyu didn't need to specially explain like Shangguan Ting did.

Zhao Chi got dressed.

Now he could teleport.

He appeared right beside Su Qin, startling the lord next to her.

But this kind of teleportation was very common, and most of the nearby lords weren't familiar with Zhao Chi, so they just glanced at him and turned back.

Geng Zhan and the others knew Zhao Chi, and no one paid him too much attention.

After the lords entered North Song Town, the invisibility effect on their bodies was dispelled.

Su Qin directly took Zhao Chi's hand and followed the main force, walking forward relaxed.

The people holding torches in the distance on the opposite side also walked over at the same time.

Their numbers were not few.

Besides the soldiers on both sides, over a hundred lords also closed in from behind.

It looked like a warm welcome, but there was also a faint sense of guardedness.

This was understandable.

After all, the two sides belonged to different factions.

No matter how good the relationship, vigilance was still needed.

At this time, Jiang Chen, Shen Jiyun, Guan Zhiyong, Ren Yunchuan, and other high-ranking lords of the World-Breaking Army all stepped forward.

They thanked them enthusiastically the moment they met.

Jiang Chen grasped the hand of the middle-aged lord at the very front of the opposite side and said politely: "Many thanks, Captain Huang. If you hadn't been willing to take us in, we really wouldn't have known where to go with so many people."

Shen Jiyun also thanked him: "Yes, many thanks to your army for being accommodating. Otherwise, our exhausted troops would probably have truly fallen into the werewolves' hands."

The one opposite was Blade Edge Army's vice captain Huang Zongyuan, whose status was on par with Jiang Chen and the others.

When the several factions had met for a conference before, they had all seen each other and exchanged a few words.

Their friendship wasn't deep.

Now it was strictly business.

Huang Zongyuan naturally also said very politely: "Captain Jiang and Captain Shen are too kind. We're all resistance forces, all allied friendly forces in the alliance, this is what should be done. I've also heard about the werewolves' movements on our side. If your army hadn't held the front, we probably wouldn't have held out long ago. It's all thanks to you."

Jiang Chen said: "We're all on the same front, and we may very well launch a joint attack later."

Huang Zongyuan nodded: "Mm, I've also heard our Chief Captain Chang mention this, but it hasn't been decided yet."

Shen Jiyun said: "This time it seems they'll also bring in your noble house, it will certainly take quite a bit of time."

Huang Zongyuan smiled: "That's right, but that's all the higher-ups' business, we vice captains don't need to worry about that. You're all exhausted now, and I won't keep you from resting. You can rest here with me first, and leave after daybreak. I've already prepared food and housing on my side."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Thank you, Captain Huang, but we still have a mission now and must return at the earliest moment. We really can't delay."

Of course there was no such mission.

Mainly Jiang Chen didn't want to linger here any longer.

After all, with so many World-Breaking Army lords here, Blade Edge Army wouldn't be entirely at ease either.

Since the other party had done them a favor, they should also be tactful and leave quickly.

Although they were already very tired, they had to persevere and return to the World-Breaking Army's territory before resting.

On the other hand, Jiang Chen actually wasn't entirely at ease here either.

After all, these are over two thousand World-Breaking Army lords, and all of them have just finished fighting and need to rest — over two thousand exhausted lords.

Very fragile.

Although the relationship with the Blade Army is very good, it's still better to be careful about some things.

Once the other side gets any crooked ideas and devours these two thousand World-Breaking Army lords, they would really make a killing.

Moreover, the other side also knows that there are still two regiments of werewolves tying down several regiments of the World-Breaking Army in the west. If they really make a move now, the World-Breaking Army really won't have much strength left to rescue or retaliate.

Since both sides feel awkward, just hurry up and leave.

Sure enough.

Huang Zongyuan did not try to keep them any longer.

Instead, he nodded and said: "Alright, since Regiment Commander Jiang and the rest of you have a mission, I won't say more. Let Captain Li escort you."

The middle-aged lord beside him stepped forward.

"It's an honor. I am Li Mohu. From now on, I will escort all of you World-Breaking Army officers and comrades."

Jiang Chen and the others thanked him together.

Saying it's an escort is, of course, also surveillance.

There's nothing wrong with the other side doing this.

So the few Gao Jie lords exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Jiang Chen turned back and ordered everyone: "Everyone can lock onto the local formation for now. Once locked, teleport immediately. We set out now!"

The lords were all very exhausted.

But no one said much more.

One after another, they locked onto the local formation.

Lock-on complete, instant teleportation.

The scene before their eyes changed.

The lords appeared in a bustling little town.

This was the real Beisong Town.

Although it's a town, this is a town in the Great World — all kinds of torches and spirit-energy lamps are still plentiful, and the main road is still very bright.

Li Mohu led the way with his soldiers.

Everyone moved swiftly westward.

Over an hour later, after passing through the outskirts of two more villages, they finally reached the border.

Further west was the territory of the Iron Blood Army.

The notice Jiang Chen had just sent out said they were coming to the Iron Blood Army's Beiyao Town, but they ended up going straight to the Blade Army's side instead.

Of course, the Iron Blood Army's side had also been taken care of.

This kind of passage naturally also required paying a fee.
