Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 63 - Hunting

After a day's rest, they finally regained their energy. This time, they were able to march at night and find a deep mountain or a small village to rest in during the day.

Just like that, five days passed. After changing paths who knew how many times, they finally felt that they had left Ji Yanghui's side and returned to the main road.

They were almost at the border between the Northern Frontier and the Heaven's Might. They could not help but become nervous once more for no other reason.

This was precisely the most dangerous place. Maybe Ji Yanghui's army was waiting for them here, or maybe their Empire of Xi Chen's army was waiting for them here, because this was the only way for Chu Fanliang and the others to return.

They were hiding in the empty villages in the empty cities of the Tian Wei Empire. Xi Chen's army and Ji Yanghui's rebel army couldn't do anything as there were simply too many empty cities and empty villages.

But if they stood on this road, then Chu Fanliang and the rest would have no choice.

All of these were coincidences. Just as Chu Fanliang and the twenty thousand people from the Xi Chen Empire were about to reach the border, the two hundred thousand people from the Xi Chen Empire were on the same road. As they were rushing back in the direction of Xi Chen, their spies met up with each other.

When Chu Fanliang heard the news, he immediately led his troops to turn around, and once again headed towards the deep mountains, villages, and empty cities.

Right now, the enemy had three hundred thousand soldiers, and he did not know which side Ji Yanghui came from. He did not care which side he came from, but he was definitely the enemy.

His news had already reached Chu Sanshi's army. When his hundred thousand people saw that the northern border was safe and sound, they exchanged hands with the city guards. Then, he once again led the army and rushed towards Chu Fanliang's direction.

Chu Zhi's army had actually also rushed to a place not too far away from here. The fifty thousand people Chu Zhi had released, in addition to the hundred thousand who were recruiting, the hundred and fifty thousand troops were marching at full speed.

Which father wasn't worried about his son? No matter how powerful his son was, his father would still be extremely worried. They all said that the young ones were worried for the young ones, but as a father, Chu Zhi was similarly worried for Chu Fanliang's safety.

In just five short days, they had already arrived at a place not far from the border. In another day, their army of 150,000 would arrive at the border as well.

Chu Sanshi's hundred thousand people were the same. They would arrive in another day, but Chu Fanliang's group of twenty thousand were forced to teleport back to the southern part of the Profound Sky Continent.

It's not like Chu Fanliang didn't know about the news. If these twenty thousand people wanted to rush out in the next two hundred thousand, it would be a dream.

If they were to start a war, they probably wouldn't even be able to hold out for two hours. No matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to survive a battle with two hundred thousand people.

The sun was about to set, and it was at this time that the urgent news came again.

"Reporting, General. Fifty miles in front of our army, I saw the large monsoon flag. That must be Ji Yanghui's army, what should we do, General! Hurry and think of a way! "

Chu Fanliang originally thought that after running for so long, he would definitely be rid of the two hundred thousand people behind him. He did get rid of them, but he didn't expect to meet Ji Yanghui's hundred thousand.

Ji Yanghui's army had already disappeared for so many days, but they did not expect to surprise him with their appearance.

Chu Fanliang did not panic at all, after that, he pulled open the map, and looked at the place in front of them, expressionless.

To the south was a cliff. It was impossible for them to jump off it. The east and north were the places they had just come from, so it was impossible. With Ji Yanghui's two hundred thousand strong army in the west, it could really be said that there was no path to heaven and no door to hell.

"Right now, our position is right here." Chu Fanliang pointed to the map. The Hongbei Forest is at the southwest corner of us. Although there are many cliffs in the south, as long as we can retreat into the forest, we can wait for reinforcements to start a war with them.

At that time, we can go out and catch them off guard. Hurry, don't camp, we are heading to Hongbei Forest right now, we are camping over there. " Chu Fanliang's anxious voice came out.

After that, the twenty thousand man army changed their direction and rushed towards Hongbei Forest.

After being exhausted these few days, Chu Fanliang, Jiang Qing and the rest of the experts of the spiritual exercise would not feel tired.

The light injuries that many people had suffered a few days ago were also slowly worsening. Although he did not say that he was short of food, he did not say that he was short of medicinal herbs.

They did not have any logistics supply, so the original supply line was long gone. The tension in the hearts of the people had started to dissipate a bit. Fortunately, Chu Zhi's prestige still remained, and with Jiang Qing's deterrence and Chu Fanliang's combination of force, nothing that shouldn't have happened.

"There's less than a mile left. Brothers, quickly speed up." Chu Fanliang shouted. Chu Fanliang's shout, if the entire army wanted to hear it, would contain inner strength every time. Therefore, the sound could be transmitted for a long time, and every word would be deeply engraved into the ears of everyone present.

The vanguard troops had already entered the Hongbei Forest, and the troops behind them followed suit. The sounds of horses' hooves could be heard. Ji Yanghui's cavalry had arrived.

"You guys retreat, I'll cover for you."

"No, General, you retreat first. I'll cover for you." A deputy general pulled Chu Fanliang closer to him. Then he continued, "My old Liu's life was given to me by the marshal and I was the one who blocked it. Why would I ask the marshal's only child to block it? Little Zhao, you stay behind. As long as we block for a moment, we can retreat inside. "

"Uncle Liu, then I'll accompany you." "Don't worry, I won't joke around with my own life."

"That's right, General. Retreat with us, we can't be careless in the slightest."

"Yes, General, come with us."

"Let's go General, I, Old Liu, can still hold on." The deputy general waved his hand at Chu Fanliang, and then led the two hundred men to charge towards the incoming cavalry.

"Hurry up and leave. If you don't, it'll be too late." The commanders dragged Chu Fanliang and ran into the forest.

Blood-curdling screams sounded out endlessly. There were people with the 'Ji' banner, and also Chu Fanliang's people. The two hundred men charged into the group of several thousand men on light cavalry. Although they didn't cause much damage to the area, they were stopped for a moment.

In that short period of time, Chu Fanliang's entire army had entered the Hongbei Forest, and by then, they were already soaked in sweat.
