Chapter 2475: Everything is Under Control?
The sudden transfer order disrupted Su Xiao's plan a bit. Right now, Su Xiao had two choices: ignore this order and continue to attack the Peru Kingdom.
Doing this had a drawback: the Sand Emperor would be wary. Imagine, a Commander-in-Chief who completely ignored military orders, how could he dare to continue transferring soldiers to Su Xiao?
Heavy clues indicated that Grand Priest Uno had been controlled by a rule-breaker. That rule-breaker named Saw Poison had this kind of ability.
Taking the 260,000 soldiers on the front line back to Sand City was unlikely. Not to mention having to march for several days, just this kind of behavior would make all the power-holders in Sand City nervous.
To deal with rule-breakers other than Fei Shi, Su Xiao commanding tens of thousands of soldiers was enough. Even without soldiers, he could find the battle angel Molei to join forces and deal with the three rule-breakers other than Fei Shi.
Assuming Fei Shi hadn't entered this world yet, then Su Xiao must return to Sand City. He really wanted to capture that rule-breaker alive. If he could learn Fei Shi's location upon entering this world through the other party, then it would be truly stable.
Su Xiao took a black crystal from the storage space. His fingers exerted force, and *crack*, cracks appeared on the black crystal, and a strange fragrance that living beings couldn't smell drifted out.
A translucent skeletal arm appeared. The bone hand lay flat in front of Su Xiao. Su Xiao placed the black crystal on this bone hand.
The bone hand disappeared, and a skull appeared, with a quill pen floating beside the skull. This thing was called a messenger, developed by a necromancy-type contractor. It wasn't expensive, but it was hard to buy.
Su Xiao picked up the quill pen and wrote a string of characters on the skull before him. Calculating the time, that side should have already returned to Sand City.
Su Xiao had previously let Wen Aiyuer lead 2,000 soldiers to escort the Divine Maiden back to Sand City, which was actually a cover. The one who truly brought the Divine Maiden back to Sand City wasn't Wen Aiyuer, but Division Guard Ulate. Su Xiao couldn't guarantee that there were no eyes of Peru near him.
The facts were indeed so. Wen Aiyuer was attacked this morning. She was slightly injured, and over 700 soldiers under her command died. Today at noon, Division Guard Ulate brought the Divine Maiden back to Sand City.
After Su Xiao waited for a while, the skull appeared, with a few words written on it.
"The Divine Maiden was hijacked in the afternoon. Location: inside Sand City."
Su Xiao seeing this news wasn't too surprised. Something must happen when the Divine Maiden returned to Sand City.
The Divine Maiden being hijacked seemed like a big deal, but Sand City was abnormally calm, which represented one thing: after Grand Priest Uno appeared "abnormal," other power-holders still had the energy to hijack the Divine Maiden. Fei Shi, as the strongest seventh-tier rule-breaker, if she was already in Sand City, those power-holders would face great pressure. If it was bad, the Sand Emperor and Carola might have already been controlled by Saw Poison.
Details determine success or failure. The Divine Maiden incident was a signal. The power-holders of Sand City still had the energy to hijack the Divine Maiden; they hadn't been completely controlled by Saw Poison. Fei Shi hadn't entered this world.
Obtaining these clues, Su Xiao didn't hesitate anymore. Sand City was a pit within a pit. It seemed to be a trap dug by rule-breakers, but in reality, it wasn't. Sand City itself was a heavenly pit. Ask, what would happen if one wanted to dig a trap on a heavenly pit?
Su Xiao ordered the front line to stop fighting temporarily. He wanted to spend one to three days to deal with the changes in Sand City, and then come back to beat up the Peru Kingdom.
The rule-breaker Saw Poison jumped out from time to time and showed a wave of showy operations. Although it didn't threaten Su Xiao fundamentally, that guy was a bit annoying.
Under Su Xiao's order, the soldiers under his command packed up the camps one after another and began to retreat toward Segona City.
Su Xiao didn't leave even one soldier to guard Shenguang City. This was Peru territory. Returning to Segona City at the border was more stable.
The dwarf troops didn't attack. Su Xiao retreating meant that the Commander-in-Chief Nieposo in his rear also had to retreat. The dwarf troops who were waiting in full battle array discovered that their formidable enemy Kuku Lin Bai Ye had actually retreated.
Su Xiao led the troops to retreat, representing that the previously captured areas returned to the Peru King, but this had an advantage: next time Su Xiao led the troops to fight, he could "brush military merit" at the border area again. If he could upgrade the 【War Lord】 title to five stars before invading the Peru Kingdom, the combat power of the soldiers under his command would be improved again.
Marching urgently, Su Xiao returned to the edge of the central battlefield. After a simple negotiation with Commander-in-Chief Nieposo, Nieposo didn't hesitate too much and let the soldiers under his command withdraw from Segona City.
Su Xiao's troops took over Segona City again. Su Xiao entrusted Caesar to stay here, and he himself took Bubu Wang and Bahar back to Sand City.
The black dragon roared, spreading its wings and flying into the high sky. Su Xiao stood on the dragon's back and looked down. If everything went smoothly, he would witness a good show upon returning to Sand City this time. Even if there were any changes, he had the confidence to retreat.
With the newly obtained 【Blessing Badge】, plus the black dragon's flame damage reduction, even if there were really any changes, Su Xiao could deal with them. The worst result was to detonate all Apollos at the same time. This time, to deal with rule-breakers, Su Xiao was of course prepared before entering the world. He didn't bring many Apollos, just 8.
【Blessing Badge】 + close-range instant explosion Apollo was the trump card Su Xiao had newly thought of. Who stipulated that the 【Blessing Badge】 could only be used to save one's life?
The Black Dragon Midis flew very fast, much faster than the marching speed. After flying for only a few hours, Su Xiao saw a desert city that looked a bit familiar appearing below. Sand City had arrived.
The Black Dragon Midis flew so fast, which was a bit beyond Su Xiao's expectation, but he soon thought that the Black Dragon Midis had an ability called "Sky Overlord," which increased its flight speed by 42%.
"Roar!"
The black dragon roared, falling from the sky. Screams came one after another in Sand City. The civilians still thought it was an extraordinary creature coming to attack Sand City.
*Boom! *
Two giant and sharp dragon claws pierced into the stone slabs on the ground. The Black Dragon Midis landed on the open space in front of the Luo Sai Palace, and a large group of guard troops rushed out of the Luo Sai Palace.
Su Xiao walked down along the dragon wing, and the leader of the guard troops immediately stopped his steps and knelt on one knee.
"Commander-in-Chief."
The leader of the guard troops lowered his head. According to his official position, he didn't have to be like this. The main reason he did this was that Su Xiao had recaptured a large area of territory on the front line.
In Sand City, on a clock tower, a man wearing a magic hat with a monkey squatting on his shoulder was sitting on the edge of the clock tower. Looking from here, most of Sand City was in full view.
"Finally back. Saw Poison, you can start. Before Fei Shi comes, we must eliminate this hunter."
The man dressed as a magician spoke, and the monkey on his shoulder squeaked.
"Rest assured, everything is arranged properly. Uno controls the military power. Uno's order, that bastard doesn't dare to disobey. The Sand Emperor only knows how to play with women, and Carola is as timid as a mouse. Her life is in my hands. From now on, Sand City is decided by the three of us."
Leaning against the wall, Saw Poison, who was holding his arms, smiled, revealing a mouth full of metal teeth, with diamonds inlaid on them exceptionally dazzling.
"I really didn't see it, Saw Poison, you have this kind of ability."
The magician's mood was also not bad. Upon learning that Su Xiao controlled 300,000 troops, he was also shocked.
"If you can use your hands, why use your brain? This time there was no other way, don't you think so, Amisha."
Saw Poison looked at a girl with a blank expression. Although Amisha was taciturn, this woman was the strongest of the three.
"Your IQ..."
Amisha didn't continue. Hearing her words, Saw Poison's complexion began to change.
"Do you have any opinion on my decision?"
"Yes."
"Say it."
"Answer me a question: why did a person capable of commanding 300,000 soldiers leave Sand City in the first place?"
Amisha's words made Saw Poison shake his head with a bitter smile.
"He wouldn't have been able to control so many soldiers if he hadn't left Sand City. If I'm not mistaken, he has some kind of equipment, ability, or title that is very suitable for leading soldiers in battle. Being able to win battles, plus not following the rules, of course, the soldiers under his command are many."
"..."
Amisha's lips opened and closed, and in the end, she could only nod.
"Believe me, everything is under control."
Saw Poison looked at the distant Luo Sai Palace. If it weren't for the other two rule-breakers being present, he would have wanted to laugh three times, because that hunter really returned to Sand City, which made him wonder if he had also become an old schemer after experiencing so much?
"Became the kind of person I hated the most."
In Saw Poison's exclamation, the ancient bell behind him was struck.
Grand Priest Uno walked out from under the clock tower. What no one noticed was that on the arm under his sleeve, a golden mark was slowly turning black-purple and gradually dissipating. ===== CHAPTER 2476 =====
