Chapter 195: The army moves out

After Biyou Tianzun reported the situation of the Northern Wang Ting, he received Li Chen's waving gesture and respectfully withdrew.

The atmosphere in the main tent instantly became serious, and all the generals and experts waited with bated breath, waiting for Li Chen's next instructions.

Li Chen waved gently, and a guard quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Before long, the surrendered general of the Northern Wang Ting, Huyan Lan, was brought in.

He knelt and saw Li Chen, his expression respectful and nervous.

In Huyan Lan's view, the current Li Chen was even more powerful than when he saw him in the Imperial Palace.

"Huyan Lan, is what he just said true?" Li Chen's voice was steady and powerful.

Huyan Lan kowtowed and replied: "The matter of the Sage Realm is true, but the matter of the Snow Leopard God, the subordinate also doesn't know. The subordinate has only heard some legends about the Snow Leopard God, but has never seen it with his own eyes."

Li Chen nodded, his gaze turned to the crowd, and he said in a deep voice: "Regarding how to take down the Emu'er Shengshan, what insights do you have?"

Huyan Lan, upon hearing this, raised his head and said with a serious expression: "The Emu'er Shengshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not only is the terrain high and steep, with the Heavenly Trench as a natural barrier, but there are also restrictions and formations guarding it. The Snow Eagle Wang Ting has many experts, and the Harmonic Pulse Formation is terrifying. Unless we can attract the experts of the Snow Eagle Wang Ting to fight, defeat them in one fell swoop, and take advantage of the situation to attack, it will be difficult to attack."

It can be seen that this guy is really working hard; the Northern Army's rapid progress is actually not a small help from him.

At this time, the three-army commander Guo Guo Po Yun also continued: "After being defeated by the Tian Ce Dynasty many times, the Northern Wang Ting has learned to use the advantage of the terrain to build cities for defense, waiting for work with ease."

Saying that, Guo Guo Po Yun laid out the sand map and described the situation around Li Chen.

In general, because of Biyou Tianzun's weather formation blocking, they hadn't been to the foot of the Emu'er Shengshan to observe yet.

Now as long as the weather formation is destroyed, the Northern Army can continue to advance.

Even if he was caught, the formation was still running.

Master Wanfeng indicated that he would go and return to break the formation.

In his view, let alone Biyou Tianzun being caught, even if he wasn't caught, he could still fight.

Wu Wu Laoyezi felt that if multiple northern experts came to support, Master Wanfeng would definitely be very tricky.

So he decided to accompany Master Wanfeng, which Master Wanfeng did not refuse.

After Li Chen nodded, the two left the main tent directly.

Originally, Li Chen's group of four brought the Imperial Guard just to arrive here, preparing to go to the vicinity of the Wulian Mountain Range to investigate the location where the formation was hidden, who knew they bumped into the scene of Chen Xuannan being caught by Biyou Tianzun.

Then the scene just now happened.

If Li Chen had arrived later, I'm afraid this kid Chen Xuannan would really have surrendered to the Northern Wang Ting.

By the time Master Wanfeng and Wu Wu Laoyezi return, the matter should be resolved.

The army's departure must wait until tomorrow, so now Guo Guo Po Yun is preparing to open the stove and set up a banquet to celebrate the arrival of the Emperor and the breaking of the enemy's formation.

This was also Li Chen's first time marching to war, and Guo Guo Po Yun began to introduce the generals of the Northern Army to Li Chen.

In the main tent, the candles flickered, reflecting faces of determination.

These are the generals of the various northern armies; every one of them has very high prestige in the army, and it can also be said that they have made great achievements.

The only one who can suppress them is naturally the legendary general Guo Guo Po Yun; many of the people here were brought out by Guo Guo Po Yun, so they are naturally very obedient.

They wear heavy armor, and the mottled traces on the armor record the glory of countless battles.

On their heroic faces, the murderous aura is not released, and the aura is as majestic as a mountain, but it makes people feel awe.

The Northern Army is so capable of fighting, which can also be reflected from them.

Whenever Li Chen's gaze swept over, these generals couldn't help but stand straight, as if they were being inspected by Li Chen.

After introducing the generals, Guo Guo Po Yun continued to introduce the right side, those sect cultivators who responded to the call and actively participated in military operations.

Among them were some elders of the Tianyan Shen Zong, whom Li Chen had also seen.

They brought their disciples this time to obtain military merit in the north, and they could also train. Killing enemies on the battlefield is a rare experience, which has certain benefits for them.

According to an elder, disciples who have experienced battlefield slaughter are more steady when facing many dangers and are relatively comprehensive.

Anyway, where are sect disciples not slaughtering? They are used to life licking blood from the edge of a knife.

Li Chen even personally commended some sect experts, making them flattered and saying that they were people of the Tian Ce Dynasty, and these were all their duties.

Guo Guo Po Yun could also see from this that the sect cultivators who were high above and claimed to be detached from the world had now been reorganized by Li Chen and learned to serve the country.

He was a courtier who followed the late emperor, so he knew these very clearly.

For the Tian Ce Dynasty to produce such a Sage Realm emperor as Li Chen at this stage is truly a blessing for the entire dynasty.

After a while, Master Wanfeng and Wu Wu Laoyezi returned smoothly, and the army could set off tomorrow.

Everyone got familiar with each other, had a dinner, and returned to their camps.

At this time, Li Chen called Guo Guo Po Yun and asked: "Why didn't I see Xu Zifeng?"

The reason Li Chen was so concerned about Xu Zifeng was that when he came, Ji Lianyu and the Princess of Zhennan were various ways to please him, insisting that he take care of the vanguard general of the Northern Army, Xu Zifeng.

Li Chen was now almost catching up with the care of Xu Zifeng's biological father.

"Returning to Your Majesty, after the vanguard general Xu Zifeng led the army to kill into the hinterland of the Snow Eagle Wang Ting, he never came back..." Speaking of this Xu Zifeng, Guo Guo Po Yun also had a big head.

According to his statement, he could only judge that Xu Zifeng should not be dead yet, because the Snow Eagle Wang Ting did not announce the news of his death or capture.

But where Xu Zifeng specifically went and where he was, Guo Guo Po Yun really didn't know.

But one point Guo Guo Po Yun could be sure of was that Xu Zifeng was indeed brave; Your Majesty choosing him as the vanguard general indeed had an eye.

This sentence had the suspicion of flattering Li Chen, but it was also a fact.

Hearing that Xu Zifeng was missing, Li Chen didn't care much; after all, he wasn't Li Chen's biological son.

As long as he wasn't dead, that was fine. Why care so much.

"And Li Ling?" Li Chen asked casually.

The Prince of Jing'an, Li Longyu, really cared about his daughter; especially after hearing that Li Ling had been promoted from a guard in front of the tent to the vanguard army, he had requested to see Li Chen many times, and even wrote letters to scold Guo Guo Po Yun several times.

After all, she was his relative, so Li Chen just thought of it.

"Li Ling's performance is good, she has taken the lead once." Guo Guo Po Yun also said whatever he had: "Does Your Majesty want to summon her over?"

Li Chen waved his hand: "No need, if there's nothing else, you go and rest first."

He and Li Ling were indeed not familiar; they had only met once, and he felt there was nothing to talk about.

As for this 'honest person' Liu Hao, Li Chen really didn't remember.

Who made him not send his clan sister to Li Chen, so Li Chen could remember it was strange.

Look at Xu Zifeng; the Princess of Zhennan and Ji Lianyu often mentioned him in Li Chen's ear, so Li Chen could remember him no matter what.

Not to mention Wu Qi; his aunt Wu Nanzhi was Li Chen's beloved consort.

Liu Hao suffered this loss, so he had been working hard with his life.

At the same time, in the forbidden area of the Snow Eagle Tribe, Xu Zifeng inexplicably felt a chill; how could he feel someone was badmouthing him, or that some danger was approaching.

He didn't know anything now, and just wanted to please this Snow Leopard God in front of him.

The so-called Snow Leopard God is a Sage Beast with a special bloodline.

The Snow Leopard God has super self-healing ability, and its lifespan is also very long; no one knows how many years it has lived. In northern mythology, it is a legendary existence.

Many people even feel that this is just a fictional divine beast.

The volume of the Snow Leopard God is about four times larger than a normal snow leopard.

Its fur is like the purest first snow in winter, flickering with faint silver light, and every hair seems to contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If one finds the ruins of some ancient sects in the north, one can find from ancient books that the Snow Leopard God was actually the pet of a Primordial ascending expert.

That expert left it here, thinking that when it grew up, he would come back to see it and take it to the Immortal Realm.

But this ancient expert, due to some reason, never came back, or couldn't come back.

The Snow Leopard God was very loyal; in order to wait for the appearance of its master, it kept using 'turtle breathing' and other magic to extend its lifespan, and it has lived until now.

Actually, many pieces of information that Biyou obtained were not very accurate; he also heard them from his master and had indeed never seen the Snow Leopard God.

Don't look at the Snow Leopard God being sleepy, but it has two results when it wakes up.

The Snow Leopard God wakes up naturally, then it will be hungry and will bring down 'opportunities', letting people find food for it.

If it is woken up, then it will kill when it opens its eyes.

Xu Zifeng's luck was still very strong; he just happened to encounter the Snow Leopard God waking up naturally, triggering the task of feeding.

What was even more heaven-defying was that the Khan of the Wang Ting, Tuoba Zhen, knew what the Snow Leopard God liked to eat and was preparing nearby. Xu Zifeng just fed it, which was simply picking up a bargain.

After eating and drinking enough, before continuing to sleep, the Snow Leopard God did not give Xu Zifeng a baptism of holy blood, because Xu Zifeng's current state was not bad and did not trigger this 'gift'.

The Snow Leopard God broke through a 'saliva' on the ground, let Xu Zifeng take it and leave quickly, and then closed its eyes to rest.

Xu Zifeng was dumbfounded; I fed you for such a long time, and you just spit on me? What do you mean?

He didn't know the goods, but it didn't mean Ma Hei beside him didn't know the goods.

The Snow Leopard God's saliva spit on the ground turned into ice.

Sensing that Xu Zifeng still wanted to wake up the Snow Leopard God, Ma Hei hurriedly pulled this stupid guy.

Then he held the Snow Leopard God's saliva with both hands, signaling Xu Zifeng to go out and talk.

Xu Zifeng still trusted Ma Hei very much, so he left this place with Ma Hei.

"Why are you holding this thing? Is it very valuable?" Xu Zifeng said puzzledly after arriving outside the cave.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Xu Zifeng being the Prince of Zhennan, Ma Hei might have scolded him as a bumpkin.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard of Dragon Saliva?" Ma Hei reminded.

!

"Heard of it, it is the essence of the divine dragon."

"Actually, Dragon Saliva is the dragon's saliva, which is the essence condensed from heaven and earth..."

Ma Hei was popularizing some knowledge of the cultivation world for Xu Zifeng.

There was no way; Xu Zifeng was from the military camp and was very strong in marching and fighting, but he really didn't know these.

According to Ma Hei, things that can be called 'Saliva' are not ordinary things.

Sage Beasts and humans have different cultivation methods; Sage Beasts eat heaven and earth spiritual treasures and absorb the essence of the sun and moon!

Ma Hei popularized it for a long time; after all, the Witchcraft Sacred Land raises Gu insects, and he is very clear about these.

Xu Zifeng nodded and summarized: "That is to say, this kind of Sage Beast, let alone blood and meat, even urine and feces are treasures?"

"This understanding is correct. Don't you see what the things the Snow Leopard God asked you to prepare for it are?" Ma Hei felt that Xu Zifeng's understanding was very vulgar, but not wrong.

"I understand." Saying that, Xu Zifeng walked toward the cave.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Ma Hei asked suspiciously.

Xu Zifeng: "I'm going to see if the Snow Leopard God has pooped."

Ma Hei: "."

You are really not afraid of the Snow Leopard God killing you; it's already good that it gave you saliva, and you still want more?

Ma Hei hurriedly pulled Xu Zifeng who didn't know whether to live or die.

Because Sage Beasts are also animals after all, and most Sage Beasts are not very friendly to humans; the Snow Leopard God is rarely relatively gentle, but this doesn't mean if you provoke it, it won't kill you.

Even if it's Ma Hei's level, he feels that the Snow Leopard God killing him is just a matter of a slap.

Next, Ma Hei and Xu Zifeng discussed how to deal with the Snow Leopard God's saliva.

Ma Hei needed this kind of thing very much, let alone Xu Zifeng.

But Xu Zifeng was not the kind of stingy person, so he divided the crystal saliva into two.

He and Ma Hei divided this half, and the other half was cooked for other soldiers, everyone had a share, one spoonful each!

Xu Zifeng had been mixing in the military camp since he was a child, so he naturally knew that if he didn't give good things to his subordinates, how would they sell their lives.

These people were at least following him to the Great Snow Mountain, which could be said to have entrusted their lives to him, so how could he treat them badly.

When the soldiers heard that there was something comparable to 'Dragon Saliva', they all began to praise Xu Zifeng.

In this vanguard army, Xu Zifeng's words could be said to be final, and the soldiers all listened to his command very much.

They all came along the way, experienced life-and-death disasters, and escaped death repeatedly.

Then they would definitely trust Xu Zifeng.

Xu Zifeng's luck was well displayed in this regard.

Anyway, if he messed around, he would encounter danger, or even a desperate situation.

But at such a time, he could lead others out of the desperate situation, so these people definitely felt he had ability and were willing to follow him.

Xu Zifeng didn't forget his purpose of coming to the north, which was to occupy a city to develop and become a king.

Then when the time was ripe, he would go south, his father, the Prince of Zhennan, would go north, and they would change the dynasty together.

But Xu Zifeng didn't know that he couldn't go down now, and his father couldn't come up.

The Prince of Zhennan was currently fighting to the death with the Third Imperial Prince; if Xu Zifeng dared to rebel and go south now, he would have to face the biggest boss of the Tian Ce Dynasty.

But the problem is, he didn't intend to rebel, and now he also had to face the biggest boss of the Snow Eagle Wang Ting.

After a day of rushing, Khan Tuoba Zhen led the elite troops of the Snow Eagle Tribe and arrived at the Great Snow Mountain, walking toward the forbidden area.

Others might not know where the forbidden area was, but he knew very well.

He must smash the trespassers into pieces!

With this troop of his, coupled with Tuoba Zhen's own strength, if Xu Zifeng was caught by him, he would definitely die.

And at this time, Xu Zifeng was still cooking in the forbidden area of the Snow Eagle Tribe, preparing to have a full meal before considering attacking the enemy troops in the Great Snow Mountain.

He didn't know that danger was coming, but he was lucky.

But Khan Tuoba Zhen had just entered the Great Snow Mountain for not long when someone reported that the Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty personally led an army to the Emu'er Shengshan, preparing to attack the holy land of the Snow Eagle Tribe.

Li Chen coming over personally was a top priority.

Tuoba Zhen had to return with the troops, letting a team go to the forbidden area to check.

No matter who came, as long as it wasn't a Sage Realm expert, Ma Hei could deal with it.

In a sense, Li Chen saved Xu Zifeng's life and also fulfilled the verbal promise made to the Princess of Zhennan.

When Tuoba Zhen led the troops back, a huge army was marching toward the Emu'er Shengshan.

Li Chen was wearing a dazzling imperial golden armor, and on that golden armor, lifelike golden dragon patterns were carved.

As long as Li Chen slightly released his aura, several dragons circled around him, and the momentum was majestic.

His mount was the legendary Dragon Soaring Black Obsidian, and its hoof sound was like thunder, shaking every inch of land.

As a mount with dragon bloodline, every breath of it seemed to be able to stir up wind and clouds, making heaven and earth change color.

Under Li Chen's leadership, the million-strong army was like a black tide, stretching endlessly, covering the vast wilderness.

The soldiers' armor shone with cold luster in the sun, the iron cavalry roared, and the sound of horse hooves echoed between heaven and earth.

Wherever they went, the earth shook, as if even the mountains and rivers were trembling.

Li Chen could be said to have his aura fully open, and his domineering posture was fully displayed.

Letting the soldiers behind know that the one at the very front was their supreme emperor!

Originally, under normal circumstances, as the three-army commander, Guo Guo Po Yun wouldn't let the emperor be at the front; the emperor only needed to sit in the middle army to stabilize morale.

If the emperor were attacked, the morale of the army would be damaged.

But Li Chen was indeed an exception; Guo Guo Po Yun hadn't seen anyone who could put Li Chen in danger.

There was still a long distance from the Emu'er Shengshan.

In front was the territory of the Eagle Wing Tribe, which was also a small city.

The million-strong army marched toward this place and had already experienced two cities.

But these two cities were empty; the people inside heard that the Tian Ce Dynasty's army was coming and had long run away without a trace.

Arriving here, they actually encountered an army of about 200,000 people, which looked like a coalition army!

At the very front should be the army of the Giant Bear Tribe; the army of the Giant Bear Tribe is known for its powerful strength and impregnable defense.

On the battlefield, they are like moving fortresses, and colliding with their troops will definitely result in broken heads and bleeding.

These warriors are burly, have infinite strength, wear heavy frost armor, and hold huge frost war hammers.

Every blow of theirs contains frost power, which can freeze the enemy's blood and weapons.

There are many eagles circling in the sky of the Giant Bear Tribe, so behind should be the army of the Eagle Wing Tribe.

The army of the Eagle Wing Tribe is known for its speed and air superiority; these warriors wear light armor and have well-trained Swift Wind Eagles tied to their backs.

Their archery is also very superb, and their mobility is very strong.

The rest should be the remnants of various tribes conquered during the Northern Army's attack.

Seeing that they were about to reach the Emu'er Shengshan, they indeed planned to have a hearty frontal battle with the Tian Ce Dynasty's army here!

Even facing an army several times their size, they were not afraid at all!
