Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"Your Majesty, we cannot retreat!"

Xiluoluo was diligently carrying out the mission of finding an opportunity to break through the encirclement when he suddenly saw the other party rushing towards him with more than a dozen guards, shouting words of retreat. His expression changed drastically!

He grabbed Mi Luohan and whispered, "..."

"Your Majesty, the Zhou people seem to be coming on strong, but so far our tribe has only lost less than ten thousand warriors. If we deploy them properly, we still have a chance to turn the tide!"

"Your Majesty, please pull yourself together!"

"How do you expect me to pull myself together?"

Maitreya's eyes widened in fury, and he roared with bloodshot eyes:

"Just now, that scoundrel Lu Xiao almost killed me with an arrow. If the fighting continues, I'm afraid none of us will escape his clutches!"

"If you don't want to leave, then go and stop him!"

Upon hearing this, Xiluoluo remained silent, unsure how to refute it.

After a long silence, he sighed and agreed to Maitreya's request to retreat:

"Very well, Your Majesty, please try to calm down. Your humble servants and others will do our best to organize a breakout army to protect Your Majesty as you leave."

"Your Majesty, you must remain calm, otherwise the warriors below will lose even more courage to fight!"

Mi Luohan snorted a few times, then calmed down and followed the other party's advice to gather as many warriors as possible around them, planning to launch a breakout once there were enough people.

As time went by, Siloro actually organized ten thousand cavalrymen to escort their king through the siege.

Just then, Lu Xiao led his troops in pursuit.

Maitreya looked around and saw that the warriors all around were fighting against the Zhou people, so he coldly gave the order:

"Go and stop Lu Xiao, buy me time to escape!"

"Your Majesty..."

Xiluoluo was taken aback, not understanding why the king didn't take her with him when they broke through the encirclement.

Before he could finish speaking, Maitreya roared angrily:

"If it weren't for your failed reconnaissance, which resulted in the loss of thousands of our warriors before even engaging in battle, how could we be trapped here?"

"Siloro, I have promoted you from the son of a mere shepherd to a position of great power, not so that you would repeatedly make mistakes. Now is the perfect opportunity for you to serve me faithfully!"

"Aren't you going yet?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xiluoluo felt utterly helpless, but he could only obey Mi Luohan's order and turn around to lead his troops to intercept Lu Xiao.

He understood that the king was right. If he hadn't failed to discover the ambush in Ghost Cry Valley, the army wouldn't have detoured to Eagle Strike Plain, and they wouldn't be in their current predicament!

After giving his orders, Mi Luohan immediately mounted his horse without hesitation and commanded the warriors of his tribe to charge forward and tear open a gap no matter what.

Long Gui, who was hunting on the edge of the battlefield, noticed the commotion and immediately gathered his troops to surround the area.

But they discovered this too late. By the time the army arrived, Mi Luohan had already led two or three thousand cavalrymen out of the encirclement and was galloping north.

On the other side, Lu Xiao saw Luo Luo blocking his way and greeted her with a smile:

"We meet again."

"Siloro, your king abandoned you and fled for his life alone. Why didn't you follow him?"

"Lu Xiao!"

"Today, it's either you or me who dies!"

Without wasting words, Siloro grabbed his scimitar and charged forward!

puff-

But the next second, Lu Xiao thrust his spear directly into the opponent's chest, and to the opponent's incredulous gaze, he pulled out the Black Dragon Spear, saying with a hint of disdain:

"Do you really think I can't defeat you barbarians in one move?"

"Soldiers, pursue!"

After saying that, he didn't even glance at Xiluoluo's still convulsing body, and quickened his pace to rush out.

Upon reaching the edge of the battlefield, he mounted the warhorse handed to him by Long Gui and urgently gave the orders:

"Brother Long, I'm leaving this place in your care. I'll go after Maitreya!"

"Remember one thing: do not completely surround the Hu people. Just leave one side open. Otherwise, the Hu people will fight like cornered beasts, causing us even greater losses!"

"The outcome of this battle is already decided; there's no need for more of our brothers to die!"

Upon hearing this, Long Gui nodded heavily, assuring him to go ahead and pursue Mi Luohan, assuring him that he would take care of everything here.

But after he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked:

"My lord, now that this battle is over, shall we continue our northward march and crush the Northern Barbarians?"

He was incredibly excited and wished he could wipe out the Northern Hu in this battle.

Hearing these words, Lu Xiao pondered for a moment and said:

"If there's an opportunity, do it; if not, maintain stability for now!"

"Let's just do what we can!"

"drive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his whip and lashed the horse's rump, then charged straight off.

Because of the delay on the battlefield, Lu Xiao led his troops to pursue for a distance, only to find that he had already lost sight of Mi Luohan.

This left him somewhat helpless.

At this moment, Zhou Daxing and Huang Shan rode up to his side and spoke in a low voice:

"My lord, in this great battle, that old man Mi Luohan has drawn away a lot of troops from the tribes. Now, from the Northern Hu King's Court to Yingji Plain, the Hu tribes are basically empty."

"Since we can't find Maitreya, let's fight our way through; we'll find him eventually!"

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had been too anxious and hadn't even thought of this.

If Mi Luohan were to escape, he would definitely flee to his own royal court as soon as possible, seeking a sense of security.

So after realizing what he meant, he immediately nodded:

"Walk!"

"We absolutely cannot let Mi Luohan escape this time, otherwise, once he catches his breath, we'll both be finished!"

After saying that, he took the lead and galloped off to the north.

During the pursuit, Lu Xiao realized just how good Mi Luohan was at escaping.

If you calculate carefully, there was less than half an hour between his departure and that of the Arhat, but in that short half hour, the other party had already widened the distance between them by a large margin, and the distance between them was still increasing.

He chased after him until the wee hours of the morning, but still couldn't catch up with Mi Luohan!

"My lord, a small group of Hu (non-Han) soldiers has been spotted on the right!"

Just then, Huang Shan, who was wandering on the edge of the group, discovered a clue and immediately returned to report.

Lu Xiao hurriedly asked:

"Could it be the army of Maitreya?"

"No, but judging from their clothing and appearance, they don't seem to be ordinary soldiers, but rather high-ranking members of the Hu people!"

"Let's go take a look!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiao immediately led two hundred cavalrymen, ordering the rest to continue the pursuit northward, while he went to investigate the small group of Hu people.

After all, Huangshan said that those people added up to no more than a hundred.

A short while later, the crowd saw several Hu soldiers hurriedly extinguish the campfire on the ground and frantically mount their horses, preparing to flee.

Without saying a word, he sped up:

"Chase after them, and if you get the chance, find out exactly which direction Maitreya escaped from!"
