"Grand Governor, although we did not catch up with them this time, they originally had an army of tens of thousands, and now there are only a few thousand underworld soldiers left. It doesn't matter even if they are allowed to escape. Furthermore, now the mines It's back in our hands again, there's no need for us to take risks for these thousands of underworld soldiers." Seeing that the Grand Governor was still unwilling to give in, a ghost king hurriedly persuaded him as he seemed to want to continue chasing.
"Yes, Grand Governor, for these thousands of underworld soldiers, if they are targeted by the underworld soldiers in Taiyin City, it is not worth it. Let's go back to the camp first." Another ghost king also advised.
From the bottom of their hearts, they are still a little afraid of Hades. After all, Hades is strong and has many troops. If they really start a war with Hades, they simply cannot afford to lose.
If they could avoid a major conflict with Hades, they would still avoid it if they could.
"Okay! The entire army stopped pursuing and returned to camp immediately!" Although the Grand Governor was unwilling and helpless, he still agreed to everyone's decision despite everyone's reluctance.
The 70,000-strong army turned around and marched back toward the mine.
And just after the reinforcements from Wulaishan returned, Cheng Yu's spies came back not long after to summon information.
"As expected, they still retreated. Now it seems that we can only resort to the second plan." Cheng Yu said helplessly after receiving the news that Wulaishan's reinforcements had retreated.
In fact, they had long thought that Wulaishan would not be able to catch up all the time, so the current situation was also expected by them.
"They were chasing us just now, and now it's our turn to chase them. It's interesting!" Xinhai said with a smile.
"We must chase, but we can't bring so many ghost cultivators with us. Let's do this, Brother Hongyuan, just put these thousands of ghost cultivators into the soul hunting bag." Cheng Yu thought After thinking about it, he said.
If you chase them with these ghost cultivators, it will be like the Wulaishan reinforcements chasing them just now. It will be difficult to catch up. It is most convenient to put them in a soul hunting bag.
"Well, this is a good idea. In this case, we won't be affected by the speed of these ghost cultivators!" Chen Hongyuan nodded, took out the soul hunting bag and put these thousands of ghost cultivators in it.
These ghost cultivators had their souls controlled by Cheng Yu and the others, so naturally they did not dare to resist. Moreover, Cheng Yu and the others had no intention of killing them now. They thought it would be better to be honest.
In this way, there are only a dozen of them left. If they chase them like this, the speed will be much faster.
It didn't take long for them to see the 70,000 people in Wulai Mountain. However, Cheng Yu and the others did not rush forward directly.
"Brother Hongyuan, release those thousands of ghost cultivators, and then lead them to wait here. We go out to fight with them, and when we retreat, you lead them to retreat!" Cheng Yu thought for a while and said.
After all, the opponent has an army of 70,000. If a few thousand ghost cultivators are allowed to charge forward, they will undoubtedly be seeking death, and there is not much meaning.
He is undoubtedly asking Chen Hongyuan to release these thousands of ghost cultivators now just for show. At the same time, he can attract the attention of Wulaishan's army and let them know the whereabouts of their underworld army.
Moreover, when they retreat, there will be at least several thousand ghost cultivators before they will pursue them. If there were only a few of them, Wulaishan would not be able to let an army of 70,000 go after such a few people.
These thousands of ghost cultivators were only there to help Cheng Yu attract Wulaishan reinforcements. It was a few of them who actually fought against Wulaishan's reinforcements.
After all, their strength is there, even if all these ghost kings are dispatched, it is unlikely to have much impact on them. In particular, their purpose was not to annihilate all the 70,000 troops. The ultimate goal was to attract them to Taiyin City.
Therefore, this requires them to be able to withdraw at any time, which is something thousands of ghost cultivators cannot do, so it is most appropriate for a few of them to send reinforcements to Wulai Mountain.
"Brother Cheng, don't worry. This task is very easy for me. Just try your best to do it!" Chen Hongyuan nodded. He believed in Cheng Yu's arrangement.
So he once again released the thousands of ghost cultivators, and then together they chased towards Wulaishan's 70,000 reinforcements.
Because the distance was already very close, almost only two miles away, the spies from Wulai Mountain quickly spread the news of the discovery of the Underworld Army.
But this news shocked the Governor and the others so much that they were speechless.
"You said those thousands of underworld soldiers from Hades appeared two miles away from us?" the Grand Governor asked in disbelief.
They had spent a lot of effort chasing these thousands of underworld soldiers before, but in the end they were almost ten miles apart. In addition, because that place was not far from Taiyin City, they returned.
But now these thousands of underworld soldiers are catching up again, and they are catching up without anyone noticing. This is too weird.
"Grand Governor, it's true. If they follow their current speed, they will be able to catch up with us in no time!" the spy said.
In fact, they were quite depressed. They didn't know how these thousands of underworld soldiers appeared. Because they had never noticed that there were pursuers behind them before, but the fact was that their thousands of underworld soldiers appeared inexplicably.
"Hmph! This underworld is really brave. We stopped chasing them, but they still dare to chase us. They are just looking for death. Since they are looking for death, then we will help them. The whole army obeys the order and is ready for battle. We We want to let Hades taste the power of our Wu Lai Mountain!" Although the Grand Governor was shocked at the speed of these guys' pursuit, he did not panic at all.
After all, they have an army of 70,000 here. Are they still afraid of thousands of underworld soldiers?
Therefore, he immediately ordered to turn around and prepare for war with Hades.
However, Cheng Yu did not let the thousands of ghost cultivators continue to catch up, but stopped when they were almost a mile away.
Cheng Yu and the dozen or so others continued to rush towards Wulaishan's 70,000-strong army as ghost kings.
"Grand Governor, they stopped a mile away, but a dozen ghost kings came to kill them!" The spy saw the situation and hurried back to report.
"What? Their ghost king is coming to kill him?" The governor was shocked, what the hell is going on in the underworld.
Generally speaking, when two armies fight, the small soldiers will fight first, and the ghost kings with high status like them will fight last. However, the underworld army obviously did not follow the routine and even left the soldiers behind. Instead, the ghost king directly dispatched.
"Yes!"
"Grand Governor, the underworld must know that those thousands of underworld soldiers can't harm us, so they dispatched the ghost king from the beginning. It seems that as long as we go out to fight together, it is impossible for them to kill these 70,000 ghost guards!" A ghost king spoke.
