"Have you found out how many troops there are in Hades now?" the Grand Governor asked curiously.
The underworld was on fire just now, but they still dared to fight them head-on. Their courage was not ordinary.
Unless they did not suffer any losses in this fire, if that was the case, then they would be a little anxious to go to war.
But now that the arrow was on the string, he had to fire it. He couldn't just go back with his troops. It would be too embarrassing, and it would also damage the morale of Wulaishan.
"Grand Governor, we only saw a few thousand underworld troops!" The spy didn't even seem to believe his own words, and he had no confidence at all when he spoke.
"There are only a few thousand underworld troops? Are you sure?" The governor seemed to be unable to believe his ears. He wanted to laugh, but felt that this situation was a bit too outrageous.
I heard before that they had at least 40,000 Hades troops, but now there are only a few thousand Hades troops left. Could it be that this fire burned more than 30,000 Hades troops to death? What will the fire look like?
The difference between the situation before and after is really too big. It's hard to believe. Maybe this is the underworld army deliberately using this method to confuse them.
"Grand Governor, we are not sure, but we have also investigated the surrounding area, and indeed we only saw a few thousand Hades troops!" the spy said.
"Explore again!" The Governor didn't believe that there were only a few thousand of the Underworld Army left. This was really hard to convince him. He had to get the real situation.
"Yes!" The spy said nothing more and turned around to investigate the situation again.
At this time, the Grand Governor did not dare to move forward, for fear of being deceived by Hades, and must wait until the spies brought information again.
However, when the spy came back again, he had enough confidence.
"What's the situation over there in Hades?" the governor asked.
"Reporting to the Grand Governor, this time we have investigated clearly. There are indeed only a few thousand underworld soldiers in Hades." The spy said.
"Are you sure you haven't discovered any other underworld troops?" The governor still couldn't believe it when he received the news.
After the fire, only a few thousand of the tens of thousands of Hades troops were left. Especially when the four thousand Hades army found out that they did not retreat after they sent out troops, they still wanted to fight them head-on. If this was not a lie, he would not even do it himself. Believe it too much.
"Grand Governor, but we found that the underworld army seems to be retreating!" said the spy.
"Are you going to retreat?" The governor was shocked. Could it be that they really only had a few thousand underworld soldiers left, and they were just trying to confuse them?
"Yes, I found that many underworld soldiers are already retreating. I don't know if they are retreating, but it looks a bit like it!"
"The whole army obeys the order and advances at full speed. We cannot let them escape!" At this time, the Grand Governor finally believed that there were really only a few thousand of the underworld soldiers left.
He acted like he was going to fight before, just to confuse them and not be able to determine their true situation.
But now, they are really planning to escape. In this case, of course he couldn't let these underworld soldiers escape. Although there were only a few thousand underworld soldiers, they still had ghost kings. Being able to kill a few of them was also a good thing for Wulaishan.
The team of 80,000 people immediately moved forward quickly. However, when they arrived at the mine, they found that the place was in a mess and burned everywhere.
And those Hades troops have long since disappeared.
"Grand Governor, the spies in front have sent word that the Underworld Army has arrived ten miles ahead. Do we want to continue chasing?" A Ghost Lord stepped forward and said.
"Leave some of the ghost cultivators to control the mines, and let me chase the rest!" the Governor thought for a while and said.
This is a good opportunity to show off, how could they miss it?
but? He had to guard against whether Hades had any evil plans. What if they were tempting them to pursue him now? Therefore, out of the 80,000-strong army, he only left 10,000 ghost cultivators to control the entire mine, and the other 70,000 followed him in pursuit.
In this case, even if the underworld is deceitful and they have hidden other underworld armies, their 70,000-strong army is believed to be enough to annihilate them!
However, Cheng Yu and the others deliberately kept these ghost cultivators in check, so they didn't move forward very fast. Seeing that they were about to be overtaken by the ghost cultivators from Wulai Mountain, they speeded up slightly and did not let them catch up. superior.
"Grand Governor, these guys are running away so fast. It's hard to catch up with them at our speed. I think we should stop chasing them, right?" a ghost king said.
"Are we just going to let them run away like this?" The Governor was a little reluctant. The two sides were only a few miles apart. It was really uncomfortable for him to feel that he couldn't catch up at such a close distance.
"Grand Governor, it is very likely that we will be in danger if we continue chasing like this. The direction they are currently escaping from is Taiyin City in Hades. Taiyin City is the largest city in Hades near Wulai Mountain. It is said that tens of thousands of people are stationed there. Underworld soldiers, if we pursue them, we are likely to be attacked by Taiyin City!" A ghost king saw the current situation and said to the governor with some worry.
The Grand Governor fell into deep thought for a moment, and the existence of Taiyin City had to be considered. But wouldn't it be a pity to let thousands of ghost cultivators in the underworld escape like this?
Moreover, they came all the way to support the mine, but now they go back without even meeting the enemy. Isn't this too shameful?
"Let's do this. Let's continue chasing them for a certain distance. If we really can't catch up with them, it won't be too late for us to pull back!" the Grand Governor finally said.
Even if you have to give up, it's still a little early now, at least you have to persist for a while.
Perhaps it was because Cheng Yu understood the inner thoughts of the chief governor so well. When he felt that they were about to catch up, they speeded up again, which really made the chief governor feel uncomfortable.
The more this happened, the more he wanted to catch up with them. As a result, they were getting closer and closer to Taiyin City.
"Grand Governor, we can't continue chasing. If we continue to chase, we may be ambushed by the ghost cultivators from Taiyin City!" Seeing that the Grand Governor seemed to have entered a crazy state, he vowed not to catch the underworld army in front of him. The other ghost kings were anxious as they gave up.
As a last resort, they are unwilling to conflict with Hades.
Although Hades took the initiative to provoke them this time, this place is very close to Taiyin City. Even if they catch up with those thousands of ghost cultivators, the Hades soldiers from Taiyin City may come to support them at any time.
This is not good for them. Although they now have an army of 70,000, they don't know how many underworld soldiers there are in Taiyin City. They only know that it will not be less than tens of thousands.
In this way, they are likely to start a war, but it is obviously not in their interests to start a war with tens of thousands of underworld soldiers just for the sake of thousands of underworld soldiers.
