In the direction of Xialingguan, Lieutenant General Ange led 13,000 troops to attack, and the two sides fought fiercely.
"retreat!"
Shi Qing'an gave an order, and his eight thousand elite soldiers retreated while fighting. Yi Xifeng did not want to fight and withdrew with the army.
Lieutenant General Ange wanted to lead his men to chase him, but Andre shook his head and said: "There is no need to chase him. If he catches up again, he will be ambushed."
Ange sighed after hearing this, and was about to say something when he suddenly thought of the 20,000 soldiers stationed on the front line, as well as the remaining 20,000 enemies at Xialing Pass.
"Lord Marquis, those 20,000 troops on the front line..."
Andre looked at the white belly of the fish appearing on the horizon. It was almost midnight.
"I'm afraid those 20,000 people have been swallowed up by the other party."
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Withdraw troops to the northwest and join General Sakas in Thousand Drums City."
At Maochen, all 20,000 troops on Andre's front line were wiped out.
After returning to Futa Kingdom, once this news was released, it immediately caused a stir in the whole kingdom. Andre's army from the northwest withdrew, and the territory of Futa Kingdom expanded outward by 200 miles, including Xialingguan, Zhuhelin and other places.
Since this was a secret operation, not even Her Majesty the Queen knew about it. When the ministers learned the news, they were even more confused. A few days ago, they were still discussing whether to talk to Andre, but this morning they heard the news that Andre's army had been annihilated, which was really sad.
The name "Zhenbeitinghou" once again spread throughout the world.
…………
In the eastern part of the Endless Wilderness, near the countries of the Western Region, on a hundred-foot-high tower with an ivory-white round spire, eight people in white robes sat down in a circle, and between the eight people was placed a several-foot-long tower. There is a round glazed stone table with eight unlit white candles placed in the middle, corresponding to the eight people seated.
The leader was the old man holding the staff who had competed with the Pope of the Holy War Hall three and a half years ago; one was a middle-aged man in white robe who had a relationship with Chen Chuantuo - the fourth divine envoy; The two were the old man with a hunchback and the old man wearing a white mask who had appeared in the Holy War Hall.
Among the other four people, one is a blond woman with a high nose bridge, white skin, and charming manner; a white-haired old woman; a boy with a different pupil with blue left eyes and orange eyes on the right; and a wrinkled face and a skinny body. ugly old man.
Not long after, the blond woman was the first to speak: "Andre has suffered frequent defeats, so he should be deprived of his title of marquis and made an earl."
After saying that, the blond woman flew a little higher, and the white candle in front of her was instantly lit.
After some discussion among the remaining old men, five more people lit the white candles, leaving only the white-haired old woman and the old man wearing a mask who did not light up.
"Six to two, the resolution is passed."
The old man holding the staff lifted his staff into the air and transformed into a golden white dove. The white dove flew out of the tower and flew towards the direction of Ziluo City.
"This Yi Xifeng has repeatedly hindered our sect's plans. How do the envoys think we should deal with it?" said the elder holding the staff.
"It's just a hero level. I just go and kill him." The blond woman said in a cold tone.
"I'm afraid the seven divine envoys don't know this son's identity." The middle-aged man in white robes, who is the fourth divine envoy, said: "This person is a member of the Zhenwu Dao Palace, and the mental method he cultivates is the 'Arctic Ziwei Heart Technique' The mentality of Lu Ya, the head of the Zhenwu Dao Palace, if you kill him, you will definitely frighten Lu Ya. With the current situation of our religion, it is not appropriate to start a war with the Zhenwu Dao Palace."
Lu Ya's name is also extremely resounding in the Endless Wilderness. Each of the top three saints in the Seven Kingdoms Continent is an existence that can be equal to the first divine envoy. Strategically, they can only follow the principle of not intervening in mortal wars.
The blond woman of the seventh divine envoy snorted coldly and said: "If you don't want to kill him, you can always suppress him."
"Haha, I advise you not to make your own decisions, unless you can suppress Lu Ya like the five divine envoys and the sixth divine envoys did to suppress the Pope of the Holy War Hall." The fourth divine envoy said sarcastically.
The Seven Divine Envoys were speechless. Lu Ya's strength was far beyond her reach.
At this time, the elder holding the staff asked the hunchbacked old man: "Have you ever found the whereabouts of the 'Dingtian Nail'?"
The hunchbacked old man shook his head and said: "Reporting to the Great Divine Envoy, the Six Divine Envoys and I have searched through all the ancient books in the Holy War Hall, but there is no record of the Dingtian Nail."
"If we can't get the Dingtian Nail, we won't be able to completely control the countries in the Western Region." The old man holding the staff said solemnly.
"I and the Six Divine Envoys have worked together to seal the Holy War Hall. I believe that we will soon be able to find out the whereabouts of the Dingtian Nail from the Pope of the Holy War Hall."
"I'm afraid that the Pope of the Holy War Church doesn't know the whereabouts of the 'Dingtian Nail'." The Four Divine Envoys said.
The seven-god envoy, the blond woman, frowned and said, "Great envoy, is this heaven-fixing nail really able to harmonize with the earth?"
The old man holding the staff was silent for a moment and said: "The Heaven-fixing Nail is a nail that was forged by several ancient masters of our religion after thousands of years. In these thousands of years, except for Chongyun, the first Pope of the Holy War Hall, no one else has ever done it. I have seen it. Therefore, it is unknown whether it can be combined with the earth. However, since the strategy of seizing the Seven Kingdoms continent was formulated by the envoys thousands of years ago, it should not be false. "
The blond woman asked again: "Then why didn't Pope Chongyun nail the sky to unite the earth?"
Among the eight people present, a white-haired old woman sitting next to the old man holding the staff who had not spoken for a long time suddenly spoke:
"After being united with Dingtian, you will be invincible within the territory, but the price is that you will be permanently imprisoned in the place where you are united, and you will never be able to leave."
The Seven Divine Envoys, who were still interested in the Dingtian Nail, immediately became depressed. Imprisoning her freedom was worse for her than killing her.
"The Dingtian Nail is crucial to whether we can conquer the Seven Kingdoms Continent. We must find the whereabouts of the Dingtian Nail." The great envoy looked at the hunchbacked old man of the Five Gods and the white-masked old man of the Sixth God and said.
"Yes." The two old men said in unison.
"Also, how is the investigation into the Holy Tower incident?"
"We have sent many people to search, but so far we have not been able to find the whereabouts of the Holy Tower." The hunchbacked old man of the five gods replied.
The great god envoy ordered the old man holding the staff: "Let them take it back. Calculate the time. Soon, the holy tower will disappear from the world. Even if it is found, it will be useless."
The Holy Tower has always been a hurdle that the Divine Grace Sect cannot overcome. The Holy Tower has the function of blessing spiritual bodies. It was the Divine Grace Sect's first artifact back then, but unexpectedly it was stolen by a foreign warrior. In the countries of the Western Regions, it fought with that thief. After a battle, the Holy Tower was damaged, and finally the Holy Tower's own defense mechanism was triggered. The Holy Tower's weapon spirit was forced to separate, and then the Holy Tower hid itself.
To this day, the Divine Grace Religion has not been able to find the whereabouts of the Holy Tower.
After all, the divine messenger who chased the thieves back then had completely fallen. (End of chapter)
