Chapter 103

Crack!

Crack!

Watching Li Kai turn into an ice sculpture under the Ice Frost Giant Python's frost-chill aura attack.

As a longtime friend, Du Heng's tiger eyes shed two lines of blood tears!

They might have once envied the position of the Second Camp, but that was merely a division of interests within Mu Shan Cheng.

When facing external enemies, they were as solid as iron, able to entrust their backs to each other.

Li Kai was not the first person to die in battle today.

The Dutongs of each camp had already seen dozens unable to bear the burden, dying under the saber-teeth of the Saber-tooth Army.

But Li Kai is currently the first Bijang to die in battle!

He is also the only one who directly resisted an Ice Frost Giant Python of that level and died as a Martial Ancestor.

Boom!

But now there isn't much time left for Du Heng to be sentimental.

Under the control of the Ice Profound Sect's cultivators, the Ice Frost Giant Python's icy tail swept horizontally.

Du Heng wiped the tears from his eyes, quickly dodging the Ice Frost Giant Python's attack.

Li Kai is dead, so he will take over the task of resisting the Ice Frost Giant Python.

Otherwise, with the Ice Frost Giant Python's strength, it could sweep away the Dutong squad of Great Martial Masters in an instant.

But as Du Heng withdrew to deal with the Ice Frost Giant Python.

The line resisting the Saber-tooth Army instantly collapsed a section!

Countless Saber-tooth Army surged like waves, overwhelming the defending Dutongs almost to the point of rout.

They relied on tenacious will, firmly resisting the Saber-tooth Army, barely preventing them from breaking through the line.

But the Dutongs and Great Martial Masters are decreasing at an extremely fast speed.

At that moment, a horn blast suddenly sounded from afar.

"Generals, hold on, we're here!"

Zhou Kuan on the city tower hearing these stirring charge horns, instantly excited, hot tears welling up.

Batch after batch of Martial Practitioner Combat Soldiers, riding their respective war beasts, fearlessly took over the Generals' shift, charging toward the Saber-tooth Army.

Those with somewhat weaker strength remained in the trench, quickly preparing to retreat.

Likewise, a new recruit Combat Soldier like Zhang Lang didn't even qualify to enter the trench.

Deng Li, who also witnessed this scene, was anxious in his heart.

If Guan Zhen and others managed to hold Mu Shan Cheng, it would probably be his doom!

Deng Li hastily spoke out the excuse he had prepared in advance,

"General, Gu Han colluded with Dan Ren Cheng, wounded the subordinate officer, seized the key to Mu Shan Cheng's great prison from the subordinate officer's hands, and released the traitors of Dan Ren Cheng!"

Deng Li's words instantly pulled Zhou Kuan's thoughts back from outside the city.

"What did you say?!"

He naturally knew that Guan Shan had entrusted Deng Li with the authority to patrol the prison, but what surprised him was that there were still traitors in the city who hadn't been arrested.

Moreover, that traitor seized the key and opened the prison gate!

Zhou Kuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his brows locked tight.

He was very clear that the experts of various merchant guilds imprisoned in the great jail formed a terrifying force.

If these people forcibly assaulted the city defenses, even he might not be able to withstand them!

"Please, General, swiftly act to kill the enemy state's traitor Gu Han and company."

Deng Li clasped his hands, his words earnest.

Only then did Zhou Kuan notice that the traitor Deng Li spoke of was actually Gu Han!

Gu Han was a genius they highly valued among the new generation; how could he be a traitor?

"I understand the General's doubts; at the time when Gu Han led people to defeat the subordinate officer, even the subordinate officer found it hard to believe."

Deng Li had already anticipated Zhou Kuan's reaction, and promptly spoke in a low voice,

"Please, General, consider that a talent like Gu Han joining the military camp would naturally achieve merit and establish himself."

"How could he refuse to become a Combat Soldier and instead willingly serve as a Logistics Soldier?"

"He must have wanted to map the frontier defenses, thus agreeing to be a Logistics Soldier, secretly, under the pretense of preparing provisions, scouting all the mountain and forest frontier defenses in detail."

It must be said, Deng Li's words struck Zhou Kuan's heart.

This time the Saber-tooth Army could appear and disappear without giving Mu Shan Cheng a chance to react, arriving right at the city walls.

To achieve this, one necessarily needs knowledge of the scouts' deployments everywhere.

Previously, Gu Han's unwillingness to join the Combat Soldiers meant nobody suspected him.

But now that Deng Li raised it, combined with the sudden advance of the Dan Ren Cheng army, suspicions indeed run deep!

"Moreover, I personally witnessed that Gu Han could rival a Great Martial Master!"

Deng Li spoke with a sinister tone, lowering his voice.

"What?!"

Upon Deng Li's words, Zhou Kuan was shocked, raising his voice considerably.

"Absolutely certain!"

Deng Li hurriedly said,

"At that time, with others skirmishing nearby, Gu Han and I exchanged a move, not falling behind!"

Even if to deepen Gu Han's suspicion, Deng Li still did not choose to make himself look too inadequate.

However, upon hearing this news, Zhou Kuan was greatly shocked.

Gu Han did win the championship in the Ten Camps Competition, but that was merely a new recruit of the Warrior Apprentice realm.

Even if Gu Han progresses swiftly, at most he can only become a true Martial Practitioner now.

One could have the qualifications to join the true army.

But there is still a full Martial Master level gap between him and the Great Martial Master!

To be able to fight a Great Martial Master—this news is too shocking!

"Hurry and bring me to capture Gu Han!"

Zhou Kuan had just urged him to speak when Deng Li eagerly stepped forward to lead the way.

But after he had walked a distance, he discovered that Zhou Kuan had not followed.

Deng Li immediately asked doubtfully,

"General Zhou?"

Zhou Kuan hesitated for a long time, then spoke in a deep voice,

"What is most important now is to hold the City Gate, leave a retreat route for General Guan, wait for the Combat Soldiers to arrive, then have all the commanders retreat into the city—then it will be the doom of these traitors and spies."

Upon hearing this, Deng Li immediately became anxious.

If Zhou Kuan doesn't leave, how can he trick open the city gate?

When the time comes, whether Gu Han will reach the doom he doesn't know, but he is definitely doomed!

"General Zhou, at this moment those spies have not yet established a foothold and are still dodging the patrols of the City Guard; this is the perfect opportunity to strike them!"

"If the general does not act, the City Guard will certainly not be a match for them!"

Deng Li urged anxiously with a worried expression,

"If we let them gather and then come together to attack the city, I'm afraid even you, General, won't be able to withstand it!"

Having said this, Deng Li suddenly shifted his tone,

"If the general is not at ease, I am willing to stay here and guard the city for the general!"

"With the city defense equipment, as long as no Martial Ancestor attacks the city, there will be absolutely no danger!"

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Kuan immediately gave Deng Li a deep look, his eyes seeming to hold deep meaning.

That look made Deng Li feel somewhat chilled to the bone.

"Zhou... General Zhou, is there any problem?"

Zhou Kuan let out a faint laugh,

"I'm afraid that with your strength you cannot hold this place."

According to Deng Li, among the spies colluding with Gu Han, there are not a few Great Martial Masters.

Even Gu Han himself could possibly defeat Deng Li.

Leaving Deng Li to guard here, the city gate will likely not be held!

But upon hearing this, Deng Li's face darkened.

Zhou Kuan's words were like nakedly looking at someone through a door crack.

You've looked down on him!
