After the demon clan withdrew from the county, Li Chi withdrew the eight thousand troops used to ambush back to the county.
At first, Li Chi clearly had a plan, but in the end he found out that he had fallen into the demon clan's scheme.
At that time, Li Chi thought that as long as there was someone in the city acting as an internal agent for the Monster Clan, he would know the secret of his withdrawal. After all, when the army withdrew from the city, there would definitely be a certain noise. If someone is interested, they can find out the secret after some investigation.
But later, Li Chi felt that something was wrong. As soon as the army withdrew to ambush outside, the demon army had already approached the city. This spy obviously did not have an ordinary understanding of his arrangement.
In this way, there is only one explanation. There is a spy from the demon clan in the county, and his status is not low, and he knows all his plans.
After some investigation, Li Chi indeed had a suspect. He only told the confidants who led the army about matters in the army. As for other people in the county, they were kept secret.
Lin Cheng was the county supervisor of Shannan County. He had always had a good relationship with Li Chi. After all, they were both civil servants, but they had no dealings with Fang Hao, the county lieutenant who commanded the army.
After the demon tribe's army retreated, Lin Cheng spoke ill of Fang Hao in front of Li Chi more than once. He even suspected that Fang Hao was a spy of the demon tribe. Otherwise, how could the demon tribe know the military layout of Shannan County so well?
But Li Chi did not express his attitude and was noncommittal. In this way, Lin Cheng thought that Li Chi might have listened. Several times in the next few times, when he spoke ill of Fang Hao, he could feel that Li Chi was already on his side.
Lin Chengcheng thought that his plan had been successful, but in the past few days, he realized that something was wrong.
Li Chi seemed to be close to him, but in fact, he basically had no way of understanding the situation in the army, and he had rarely seen Fang Hao recently.
At this time, Lin Chengcheng knew that a big problem was going to happen, but he had no clue where the problem was until he received the mission again.
There was a big problem in Ming Mountain, and the demon clan was about to invade the county again. Lin Cheng was the first to get the news, because he was the real demon spy.
Lin Cheng gathered his thoughts and came to the hall of the county government office, only to see Li Chi sitting there reading a book.
This scholar's cultivation is not weak, and Lin Cheng knows it better than anyone.
"Master Li never lets go of the scroll, he is a role model for our generation!" Lin Cheng's voice rang out in the spacious hall, and several responses came out.
Li Chi put down the book, glanced at Lin Cheng who walked into the hall, and said with a smile: "Why are you here, Mr. Lin?"
"It's like this. I haven't seen Mr. Fang Haofang recently. Does he have some conspiracy?" Lin Cheng said.
Li Chi pondered for a moment and chuckled: "Fang Hao has always been aloof, but he probably won't do anything extraordinary!"
Listening to this, Lin Cheng was convinced that Li Chi had already suspected Fang Hao.
He was secretly proud, thinking about how to learn about Fang Hao's recent movements from Li Chi's mouth.
Although there are only 8,000 soldiers in Shannan County, Lin Cheng knows that these 8,000 soldiers are not easy to deal with. He understands the terror of the human army.
"This official is worrying too much. It seems that Mr. Fang is training troops. Although the monsters have retreated, who can guarantee that they will not come back? It is right to be vigilant at all times!" Lin Cheng's words were full of emotions. Test.
Li Chi nodded: "Master Lin has the same view as me. I always feel that these monsters will never give up!"
"Then where is General Fang Hao training his troops?" Lin Cheng asked. He knew that in order to let the demon army control the county again, he had to deal with these eight thousand soldiers first.
"General Fang Hao is not training troops, but..." Li Chi had an unpredictable look in his eyes, but he did not say the key point.
Lin Cheng cursed secretly, but at this point, there was no need to continue.
"If Mr. Li has no other instructions, then I will resign first!" Lin Cheng stood up and saluted.
"Master Lin, go and do your own business!" Li Chi said calmly.
Lin Cheng nodded and exited the hall. Then his expression suddenly turned gloomy and he said, "It's time to go see the garrison!"
As the supervisor of Shannan County, Lin Cheng naturally knew where the army was usually stationed, but when he arrived at the school grounds, he found it was empty. Where could he see a single soldier?
Lin Cheng's expression couldn't help but change, and he said softly: "Did Li Chi get the news a long time ago? This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible in this world!"
A familiar voice came, and Lin Cheng's expression suddenly changed. He looked back and saw Fang Hao walking from the gate.
This was a man of about thirty years old, with a cultivation level of the seventh level. He had the iron-blooded spirit unique to a soldier, which made his already tall figure instantly grow taller.
"Fang Hao!" Lin Cheng looked very ugly. He knew that Fang Hao had heard what he just said to himself, but fortunately he didn't reveal any flaws.
"It's me!" Fang Hao said calmly.
Lin Cheng snorted coldly and asked: "You withdrew the eight thousand garrison, but you didn't tell the governor what you wanted? Are you a spy of the demon clan? Oops, I'm afraid the demon clan army will come to the city again!"
"The spy of the demon clan is not me, but you!" Fang Hao said calmly.
When Lin Cheng heard this, he sneered: "Why are you talking so much? Let's go see the governor now!"
"No need, I'm already here!"
Li Chi's voice came from outside the school grounds. He was dressed like a scholar and exuded a gentle and elegant aura.
"Master Li came just in time. Fang Hao mobilized the army without permission. This is a serious crime!" Lin Cheng said.
Li Chi said calmly: "I asked Fang Hao to mobilize the army!"
"What!" Lin Cheng's heart trembled violently. His expression couldn't help changing at that moment. He knew that he had been exposed, but when he recalled his every move, he didn't find any flaws.
"The last time I was plotted by the demon clan, I knew there was a spy, and the spy could only be between you and Fang Hao. Since it's not Fang Hao, it can only be you!" Li Chi said lightly.
Lin Cheng asked seriously: "If that's the case, why me?"
Li Chi said: "Because I believe in Fang Hao. From the beginning to the end, Fang Hao is mine!"
When Lin Cheng heard this, his expression looked as ugly as possible.
Apparently, Fang Hao and Li Chi had been acting for him all this time.
"Even if you see through me, you still can't change anything!" Lin Cheng had a strange look in his eyes, and there was a black mist lingering around his body.
"I didn't understand why, as a human race, we would betray and take refuge in the demon race!" Fang Hao said.
Li Chi sighed and said, "You didn't realize that he is not a human being at all!"
"The aura on his body is a bit strange, but he is still a human being!" Fang Hao looked confused.
"Li Chi is Li Chi, and he actually saw the key!" Lin Cheng's voice was hoarse. He opened his hands, and a thick demonic force spread out, causing the void to make continuous sounds.
"Half-demon!" Fang Hao looked solemn. Lin Cheng's lower body was still a human body, but his head had changed and his arms were covered with scales.
"Yes, I am a half-demon, damn humans, you all deserve to die!" Lin Cheng's voice was filled with inexplicable hatred and anger. It was obvious that humans had done a lot of harm to him.
"I don't know what happened to you, but you shouldn't betray Shannan County!" Li Chi said calmly.
Lin Cheng let out a wild laugh, closed his arms, and struck Li Chi.
Before Li Chi could take action, Fang Hao flicked his spear, and the light of the spear bloomed, rolling away like a river of light.
Lin Cheng was transformed into a half-demon, and his cultivation was already at the peak of the Seventh Realm. Coupled with the power of his physical body, Fang Hao was knocked back by this blow.
"His current state is even more powerful than the demon clan in the same realm. You are no match for him. I will do it!" Li Chi said lightly. He stepped out, and a powerful aura suddenly flowed through his body.
Lin Cheng had no time to react, but he was already knocked out.
"You are actually at the eighth level!" Lin Cheng shouted, his eyes filled with fear because he knew he was no match for Li Chi.
"From the day you made your choice, today's outcome was destined!" Li Chi stepped out, the light flowing between his palms, and the strong power shot out.
"Roar!" Lin Cheng let out an inhuman roar. At this moment, he saw his arms moving together to attack Li Chi.
With a bang, he was blown away like a kite with its string broken, and his body hit the ground, sending smoke and dust everywhere.
Lin Cheng let out a scream, and then jumped into the air at an extremely fast speed.
But at this moment, the spear in Fang Hao's hand was thrown out, directly penetrating Lin Cheng's heart, and then his body hit the ground again, and the breath he breathed in was no longer what he breathed out.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Fang Hao asked.
Since Lin Cheng got in touch with the demon clan, they already knew that the demon clan army had taken action.
"Don't be afraid, we are not fighting alone!" Li Chi smiled lightly. So far, he has not said that the imperial reinforcements have arrived.
Seeing that Li Chi was so calm and confident, Fang Hao felt less nervous in his heart, but the demon army had already taken action, and according to estimates, it would arrive in less than half an hour.
Although the eight thousand soldiers are all elite, how can they resist the demon army?
A rough estimate is that the Monster Clan's army is probably about one hundred thousand. Even if they are all soldiers and generals, in terms of quantity alone, they are completely incomparable.
But Fang Hao also knew a little bit about the tricks of soldiers and how to use troops. He couldn't just calculate by quantity, but how could he attack with surprise troops?
When he thought about how they were plotted last time, Fang Hao didn't dare to have other thoughts.
"Let's go to the city wall!"
While Fang Hao was thinking, Li Chi's voice sounded, and the two of them hurried up to the city wall.
It was nearly noon, but at this time of year, the sun was already setting in the west.
Li Chi looked up at the endless blue sky and couldn't help but sigh secretly. If there wasn't all this mess, just standing on this city wall and looking at the scenery would indeed be a kind of enjoyment.
But now, they are facing the biggest crisis in history.
"I don't know what's going on over there at Ming Mountain!" Li Chi whispered to himself.
Suddenly, outside the county town, there was a violent sound, like a roaring river. Li Chi came back to his senses and looked into the distance, where he saw smoke and dust billowing endlessly.
