Chapter 140 Encounter
In Taranto, on the edge of a cliff.

The Grand Duke Keqis looked up, looking at the spacious and flat road on the other side of the cliff.Then he lowered his head again, staring at the bottomless abyss under his feet.

"How long will it take for Aberdeen's army to arrive here?"

The adjutant immediately replied, "According to the latest news reported by the spies, it will take about half a day."

Grand Duke Keqishi nodded: "Well, we are here, waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests. What do you think, General?"

"Okay." The man who single-handedly directed the layout of the entire battle stood side by side with him, and he simply replied with a calm expression on his face.

The Grand Duke was probably a bit bored, and he said without words: "You said that when General John arrives with his army, he will just watch him helplessly, what kind of expression will he have?"

The man turned his head to look at him, and then turned his head away: "Maybe he will be pissed off by the Duke."

"Hahahaha! That's what it is. Why can't they move faster, it will take half a day, and I can't wait. Hahahaha!"

"Fluffling~"

A few birds were frightened, chirping in a low voice, flapping their wings and flying out from the branches and leaves of the big trees, and fled far away into the depths of the dense forest.

……

On the spacious official road, the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army, under the command of the general, is marching rapidly in order.

Normally, this section of road is flat and open.But at this moment, it was filled to the brim with various troops.Tens of thousands of soldiers had to form a long formation, one after another, with no end in sight.

Finally, General John led the army well, and the team always maintained a complete formation.

However, if such a "one-word long snake formation" suddenly encounters the enemy's situation, it may be a defeat in a hurry.

General John has completely put away the contempt in his heart, and the scouts sent out far away to ensure that there are no large numbers of enemy ambushing troops around.

At the very least, before the enemy comes to the front, there is enough time to line up and not be caught off guard.

As for the small number of enemy soldiers, such as the spies on the other side, he already ignored them.If caught, they will be killed on the spot, and those who slip through the net will be considered lucky.Anyway, a large army of tens of thousands of people marched, especially on the opponent's territory, and it was impossible to hide their whereabouts no matter what.

It's not worth wasting effort.

At this time, all he was thinking about was how to get back to Aberdeen as soon as possible.Put other things aside for now.

"Not far ahead, it should be the Hengyuan Great Rift Valley, right?"

General John rode a dark and vigorous horse, surrounded by personal soldiers and guarded, and followed the army slowly.

"Yes!" The adjutant who was walking on the side turned sideways, clasped his hands and replied, "Five miles further on, we will be at the Hengyuan Great Rift Valley. The spies we sent just received news that no enemy ambushes were found near the rift valley. trail."

General John nodded.

The adjutant has been with him for many years, so his military ability is not outstanding, but his work is still quite reliable.

General John was very impressed with this great rift valley, which seemed to be cut down by a sword from the sky, and almost cut off the entire Hengyuan Mountain Range.

Because when they came, the counter-insurgency army took this road.

The Great Rift Valley is about thirty feet wide and hundreds of miles long, dividing the mountains from north to south.The Great Rift Valley is bottomless, and at first glance, there is only darkness, like an abyss.

It is impossible to pave the way for the official road to such a dead end that ordinary people can't stop.But nature is uncanny, and the subtlety and strangeness are really hard to guess.

In the middle of the Great Rift Valley, a huge stone beam about seven or eight feet wide spans the cliffs at both ends of the Rift Valley, connecting the north and south of the Hengyuan Mountains.

The stone beam is not only huge and strong, but also has a very smooth surface.The local government and the people made a little modification, and the continuous passage of people and horse-drawn carriages over the years made it gradually become a natural bridge connecting the north and south official roads.

Such a terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is the perfect place to set up a defensive position.

If it were General John who was in charge of commanding and deploying the defense, he would have full confidence in blocking all the opponents even in the face of the wolf-like Riga army with the [-] soldiers under him now.

But the rebels in Taranto gave up.

After repeated investigations and confirmations, General John finally accepted this somewhat unbelievable fact.

After the officers at all levels yelled loudly and urged the army to quickly pass through the stone beam, the Aberdeen generals, including General John, only felt that there was no one in the Taranto army who really knew the soldiers, even such an excellent soldier. I don't know how to use the geographical advantages.

Naturally, he despised this opponent more and more.

Up to now, since I have realized that the enemy's coach must not be taken lightly, it is really wishful thinking to expect the opponent to let me come and go as I did when I came here.

But since more than an hour ago, the messages sent back again and again by the scouts who went out all fed back the same message:
No enemy ambush was found near the stone beam!
No fortifications were found either!
What's happening here?
Although he couldn't understand the opponent's intentions, anyway, since the scouts had confirmed that there was no ambush, General John made a decisive decision and commanded the army to quickly advance to the southern end of the Great Rift Valley.

After crossing the sea, you are a fairy!
As long as the entire army passed through the Hengyuan Rift Valley safely, even if there were any tricks, General John would not need to be afraid.

In a head-on confrontation, it depends on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides.With the weak combat power of the Taranto army, as long as it is not an ambush attack, how can it win its own army of [-]?
Not long after, the daunting, bottomless Great Rift Valley and the huge natural bridge appeared in front of the soldiers of Aberdeen.

"stop!"

General John raised his right hand.

"The army is lined up in place, be careful."

"Contact the forward sentry and confirm the situation on the other side for the last time."

"The 'Panshi' brigade is ready. After the spies confirm that they are invincible, they will first pass through the stone beam and go to the northern end of the rift valley to defend themselves."

"..."

The terrain here is indeed very steep, and General John did not dare to be careless.Even though the scouts were out everywhere and there were no abnormalities reported many times, he still made arrangements carefully and did not let the army pass the stone beam rashly.

Under the command of their respective generals, the soldiers lined up neatly and stood at the southern end of the Hengyuan Grand Canyon, waiting quietly.

Thousands of people gathered here, except for the occasional snorting of war horses, there was no sound in the arena.

The cold wind blowing from the deep canyon swept across the army formation, bringing with it a sense of desolation.

After a while...

No information, no returns!
The faces of the generals changed a little.

Reconnaissance sentries go out for several miles or even tens of kilometers to scout and inquire about the enemy's situation, and they have their own method of quickly transmitting news.

Not to mention detailed and complicated battle reports, simple messages such as "safety" and "danger" can be transmitted back to the main army in an instant with only a pre-agreed gesture, whistle or signal flare.

Just at the north and south ends of the Grand Canyon, with a short distance of tens of feet, how much time would it take for the message to go back and forth?

"Whoo~"

Suddenly, a black shadow whizzed and flew towards General John from the northern end of the canyon.

An officer took a step forward and raised his big knife to block it.

With a "bang", the black shadow collided with the blade, shaking the officer back five or six steps, and finally exhausted and fell down.

The black shadow was a spherical object, fell on the ground, rolled a few times, and finally stopped.

Several generals looked down, and their faces suddenly changed color.

That was a human head!
General John's expression also changed.

The officer who made the sword was a good soldier in the army, possessing silver-level super strength.Usually charge into battle, very brave.The head was thrown from tens of feet away, the strength has been greatly weakened, but it can still shake him back.The strength of the throwing person can be imagined.

"Hahaha~"

On the cliff opposite the Grand Canyon, a figure gradually revealed its figure.

"At first, I wanted to wait to see if I could get some benefits. I didn't expect that the generals in Aberdeen were less courageous than mice, and they dared not cross the bridge. There is no way, I can only kill you scouts. "

General John stared at the old man who was the leader among the crowd opposite, and spit out a few words in a pause: "Ke, Qi, Shi, old, thief!"

The white bearded and haired Duke of Keqishi was no longer as solemn as before, and looked more arrogant and domineering.Now that everyone has raised the flag of rebellion, betrayed the royal family, and betrayed the glorious empire, there is really nothing to worry about.

"Boy John, don't you want to put down the rebellion? The old man is standing here waiting for you, why don't you dare to come over? Are you a coward, and all the 1 people behind you are cowards?"

General John gritted his teeth, his face was livid.

The adjutant on one side hurried forward and reminded: "General, this is a radical method, you must not fall for it."

"I know." General John waved his hand, signaling not to worry.

He was past the age of a hot-blooded teenager, how could he adopt such a childish and shallow aggressive method.

He glanced up again, looking at the edge of the cliff opposite.

There were about 40 to [-] people standing there. Although they were far away, judging from their standing posture and demeanor, it was obvious that all of them were masters.

But just three or 40 people, do you want to block the impact of [-] troops?Unless they are all the top powerhouses in the golden realm, otherwise, doubling the number of people is not enough.

The last message sent back by the spies has just passed, and there must be no army ambushing nearby.There are less than half a hundred people on the opposite side, and all of them are masters. Only by spreading out and hiding can they escape the spies' detection.

It is estimated that Xingzang was accidentally seen through in the end, so he had to kill the spy and completely exposed his whereabouts.

But what's going on with the reckless attitude of the old thief Keqishi?

General John ignored the provocation on the other side of the Great Rift Valley, and turned his head to look at the adjutant.

The adjutant understood, and immediately reported: "The left and right wings of the army, and the spies in the rear are in normal contact, and no enemy situation has been found for the time being."

General John nodded, and ordered: "Send more people to plow the surrounding area for one mile, and not even a spy of the enemy will be spared."

"Yes!" The adjutant ordered.

He looked across the Great Rift Valley again: "Old thief Keqishi, with your little people, you want to block the way of my army? Has your head been kicked by a donkey?"

The surrounding officers and soldiers all echoed the words and laughed.

The Duke of Keqishi laughed, and he didn't get angry: "Why are you talking so much, just let the horse come over, the old man is waiting for you here. I'm afraid you don't have the guts, hehe!"

"Whoosh!"

A blue light blade suddenly flew out from behind General John, with a sharp whistling sound, it shot away as if splitting the space.

The light blade was formed from battle qi, but it was solid and dense like a substance.Although the speed is extremely fast, it is still extremely strange, allowing people to clearly see the flying purple-blue blade and the edge of the blade glowing with a deadly blue light.

The distance of several tens of feet seems to be shortened by ten times under the extreme speed of the light blade.As soon as Duke Keqishi's mocking words fell, the dazzling blue color had already arrived in front of him.

The middle-aged man who had been standing side by side with Duke Keqishi but remained silent took a step forward and stood in front of the Duke.

Then he raised his right hand, and a golden ball of dou qi shot out from his palm, hitting the blue light blade fiercely.

Stepping and dodging, attacking, a set of movements was completed in a very short period of time, and it was done calmly and smoothly as if flowing clouds and flowing water.Obviously, this middle-aged man has extremely high martial arts cultivation.

"Boom~"

The azure light blade collided with the golden grudge, making a loud noise.The turbulent air wave accompanied by the explosive energy of Dou Qi sent the several martial arts masters standing like mountains on both sides back again and again.

The Duke of Keqishi was blocked by the middle-aged man, but he was not affected at all.

"'Azure Juggernaut' is nothing more than that." The middle-aged man waved his sleeves and returned to his original position.

"Golden Warrior?" Caton, who had just arrived with Princess Yalina and others, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged man.

Caton was not too surprised that he failed to achieve success with his sudden cold arrow.He just saw the arrogant words of the traitor leader, so he couldn't help but teach him a lesson.It would be strange to say that the majestic Grand Duke of a province doesn't even have a martial arts expert who can withstand the light blade.

General John and other generals from Aberdeen bowed their hands to Princess Yalena and Anthony.

On the battlefield, there is no need for too many courtesies.

Duke Keqishi was taken aback by Caton's sneak attack, and quickly recovered.

"It turned out to be the 'Azure Sword Saint' Caton, and the golden fighter is indeed extraordinary. Coincidentally, we also have a golden martial arts expert here."

Duke Keqishi turned sideways slightly, and pointed his right hand towards the middle-aged man.

"Please allow me to give you a grand introduction: this is one of the 'six famous generals' of the Riga Empire, the golden fighter General Franky! Your 'eight consecutive victories' along the way is the meeting gift given to you by General Franky. "

Except for Anthony, Princess Yalena and General John had never seen Frankie before, so they couldn't help but be taken aback.

Compared with Franky's top-level martial arts strength as a golden fighter, General Franky's identity is more important at this moment, and it also makes General John and others feel heavier pressure.

When it came, it was so easy that it was a bit unreal to win every game, and it really had a hidden secret.And the one who commanded the layout turned out to be this famous Riga general who is well-known in the mainland.

Aberdeen's counter-insurgency army has a golden fighter like "Azure Juggernaut" Caton, which is equivalent to having an extra strong general who will charge into battle and capture the flag.

However, the addition of General Franky to the Taranto rebels is equivalent to installing a brain and a soul into the entire army, which doubles or even increases the strength of the army tenfold.

It can be said that the originally weak Taranto rebels now have the strength to threaten the Aberdeen army.

No wonder the old thief Ke Qishi escaped from the imperial capital and took great risks and costs to rescue General Riga who was imprisoned in the sky prison before raising the flag of rebellion.

Regardless of the pros and cons of this move and the relationship with the Riga Empire, it is necessary just to increase the strength of the army to withstand the attack of the counter-insurgency army that the empire will inevitably send.

Even though the hinterland of the Brilliant Empire was messed up by Taranto, the army of the Riga Empire was able to break through and occupy the entire Brilliant Empire.If before that, he, the Duke of Keqishi, had already fallen under the iron hoof of the counter-rebellion army, what would be the point of everything?

He is not from Riga, and he did not dedicate his ideological consciousness to the eternal achievements of the Riga Empire.

Carton didn't think too much about it. He just didn't like the old man on the opposite side: "General John, order the army to attack. Don't worry about that Franky gold fighter, leave it to me."

"This one……"

General John had a headache, but he didn't know how to explain it to this martial arts expert who had no military knowledge.

What he was worried about was not Frankie's cultivation strength, but the opponent's inevitable arrangement.

To put it bluntly, if the person on the opposite side had changed to the "Azure Sword Master", he would have already swung his army and pushed past him, so there was no need for such trouble.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Unknowingly, General John has been intimidated by Frankie's reputation as a famous general in mainland China, and has become hesitant and timid.

On the way here, the inexplicable "eight consecutive victories" like delivering food...

When he was about to reach Austerlitz, the capital city of Taranto, he was forced to retreat by the opponent's siege...

On the way to retreat, the opponent's number was less than half a hundred, but they dared to stand in front of their tens of thousands of troops...

General John only felt that the opponent's move was like an antelope's horns, and there was no trace to be found.He couldn't figure out the other party's thinking at all, so he could only passively accept the move and be led by the nose by the other party.

Could it be that the gap between himself and the famous general is so big?
At this moment, he appeared in a trance very inappropriately.The strong belief accumulated over the years to conquer the mainland and make the world's heroes and generals bow their heads, instantly turned into deep doubts.

So much so that Caton's words were ignored.

However, these are not important.The next action on the opposite side made him no longer need to answer this question, nor did he need to struggle with the question of advancing or retreating.

"Your Excellency, let's do it. The opposing coach said he was cautious or timid, but he didn't dare to come here. Waiting any longer is just a waste of time."

Frankie said lightly:

"Though time is on our side now."

"Okay!" Duke Keqishi nodded in agreement.

Immediately, he raised his right hand, and then swung forward suddenly.

Rumble~~~Rumble~~~Rumble~~~
Bursts of explosions resounded through the sky out of thin air, accompanied by huge vibrations like the earth shaking and mountains shaking.

No matter how well-disciplined the army is, it can't keep quiet and orderly in the sudden change that seems to change the color of the world.No matter how much the officers yelled for restraint, it was inevitable that there would be chaos in the huge army formation.

In fact, in this huge scene, the performance of the officers is not much better, few can keep calm, how to control the soldiers.

General John was completely stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

He knew that with Frankie's ability, there would definitely be other arrangements.But what I didn't expect was that the opponent's backhand was actually this.

They actually blew up the whole stone beam!
