Chapter 362: The Content Is Just Too Absurd
The flowing thunder surged forth, with little suspense, covering the sky full of wind and snow with an unstoppable fierce momentum. Wherever it went, ice crystals dissipated, the fierce wind evaded, heading straight for Vons.
All the demon race on the battlefield were seized by an extreme fear, even feeling a compulsion to kneel and beg for mercy. This is the natural restraint.
At the same time, the extraordinary members of the Polar Alliance were extremely shocked. It was the first time they saw Vons falling into the disadvantage in a direct confrontation. Among them, the strongest was shocked and immediately used their skills to intercept.
Light and shadow continuously crashed into the fiercely charging red thunder fire from the rear, only to be extinguished within it.
Not to mention the enemy, even Li Rui himself didn’t expect his skills to have such a strong effect, but it was understandable, as this counted as the strongest skill combination between him and Cheng Mingyue.
After the initial panic, Vons finally gradually calmed down. He continuously exerted his spiritual power, doing his utmost to maintain the ice storm to block the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell.
Finally, the last wisp of cold wind was engulfed by the sea of fire. The All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell reached him, but at this moment, two towering twin strongmen arrived from left and right, each raising a shield, forming a light barrier.
Buzz!!
The thunder fire spell struck the barrier and suddenly spread, but did not disappear instantly, rather, it tried to penetrate it.
However, this skill had already been weakened by the ice storm and many other skills. Although it burned and shattered the layer of barrier, it could not continue forward and reluctantly dispersed in the end.
Li Rui took another look at the pair of twins, both single-handed sword and shield, seemingly not weak in strength, and at this moment served as Vons’ guards.
The strongest young people on both sides were mutually staring, neither moved.
That move just now didn’t hurt Vons, but it attracted a large number of people to intercept it, and Dragon Country seized the opportunity to scatter the enemy’s formation.
At this time, the Polar Alliance had no choice but to begin a general retreat.
The bearded man nodded to Li Rui, not having time to say much, chased forward with others, and the surroundings quickly became clear.
"I heard you went to Cold Wind State, why did you come up from below."
Cheng Mingyue slightly regained some strength, walked over from behind, speaking as she walked.
"Well... it’s a long story..."
Li Rui answered in a very vague voice, and as he spoke, he fell backward, even closing his eyes.
Cheng Mingyue quickly stepped forward to catch him, discovering the guy had already fallen asleep.
"No way, brother, you should at least explain yourself before sleeping."
She raised her head, awkwardly glancing at the whole team of fiendish-looking ghost riders, giving a dry laugh, "Uhm, are you his friends though?"
.....
On the front battlefield to the west of Grain Water, Dragon Country had already re-stationed north of Central City and cautiously pushed a bit south once more.
Although it only advanced several dozen miles, but according to the current situation, as long as this place was held, at least a dozen spoils could be secured, among them, several are medium-sized.
Cheng Wen knelt over the map thinking for quite a while, but still couldn’t figure out one thing.
"Why did they retreat?"
His initial speculation was that the pressure from the Polar Alliance in the south was too great, forcing Ulysses to have to send troops back in support. Yet he quickly found he was wrong, the main force of the Western Kingdom was stationed in front of Central City, never retreating further, nor organizing a counterattack.
The major battles had just paused, the situation temporarily chaotic, simply imagining was useless, one must wait until all parties have gathered intelligence to reconstruct the events.
"Report, Commander Cheng, there’s new information, Ulysses withdrew all the A1 to A5 posts in the direction of Cold Pool Valley to the west."
"Huh?"
Cheng Wen was even more baffled, "Why? I didn’t order an attack on Cold Pool Valley, did someone strike there of their own accord?"
Speaking of the latter half, he grew serious, regardless of victory or defeat, not obeying commands was a grave issue. Even if merit was achieved, praise would first critique.
Yet he soon found, no one had gone in that direction, the Western Kingdom just withdrew on their own.
"Don’t rush blindly, maybe it’s a trap."
Cheng Wen instructed, "Li Jun, take a team of assassins to cautiously scout and confirm the situation,"
"Yes."
The person named Li Jun just took the order and departed when Dong Sanchuan came over from another direction.
"Commander Cheng, Guan Gui, no, 0107 and Simon have not decided victory or defeat, both safely retreated, Conductor Kong asked me to report."
"Got it."
Cheng Wen nodded, originally not hoping to easily take down someone like Simon, "You’re exhausted, go take a rest."
Dong Sanchuan nodded and left.
The surrounding command-level folks were all sighing.
"Indeed two beasts, fought till now."
"Probably that forest was flattened."
"Lucky for Guan Gui, otherwise truly no extra candidates to counter that Simon."
Of course, people like Cheng Wen, Kong Ji have capability, but they simultaneously have to combat other top forces.
While the command folks were marveling, someone came with a report again.
"Southeast front war report! War report!"
The person turning into a full-time messenger is Duan Ling, he rushed over, shouting breathlessly.
"Speak slowly, don’t rush," a deputy commander said.
Yet Duan Ling seemed too excited to wait even a second, desperately shouted, "Li Rui returned! Struck Vons’ troops from the south, the enemy has retreated, we captured Gunpoint Beach."
With those words, the crowd boiled over.
"Actually struck Gunpoint Beach?!"
"How did Li Rui come up from the south?"
"Probably broke through in the chaos? Maybe the Polar Alliance helped a lot."
Cheng Wen’s heart surged with excitement, he previously assumed Li Rui was unreachable, not expecting the good news to strike unexpectedly, he contained his emotions, grabbed Duan Ling’s arm and asked, "Li Rui, where is he?"
Duan Ling panting, responded, "Sleeping, should be several hours now."
"Good, good, sleep well."
Cheng Wen was filled with smiles, "Did he say how he broke out?"
Not just him, others were keenly concerned, surrounding young Duan Ling.
Polar Alliance being ambushed on the southeast front then routed, surely incurred losses, plus own casualties are crucial.
Duan Ling finally panting evenly, he promptly replied, "Li Rui encountered three members of the Redfield clan in Cold Wind State, they explained the situation."
"Near the plateau in Cold Wind State, they recruited nearly a hundred undead knights, they were formerly the leading force among the twelve elite cavalry of the Wind Slave Royal Court."
Everyone kept nodding, wanting to break through needed assistance, bringing back a few Redfield clan members was not bad, elite undead cavalry an unexpected joy.
"Then? Which route bypassed enemy’s encirclement?"
Duan Ling cleared his throat, "He barely bypassed any enemy, as many blockade, all were broken."
"Ah? Just with this manpower?"
Yet Duan Ling didn’t explain, himself couldn’t, besides even more stunning was yet to come.
"With undead cavalry, he killed all the way to Central City, smashed enemy base camp, chased blood barber north to main forces’ front lines, slain face-to-face, returned to Central City, rose south bypassing Hundred Li Crossing, through shattered wetlands across Grain Water downstream,
Then headed north along the river, killed Polar Alliance’s curse priest, repelled Western Kingdom’s pursuing forces, and slew fire manipulator Landry, then continued north to southeast front battlefield, cooperated with Cheng Mingyue and repelled Polar Alliance’s Divine Son Vons."
After reading, no one spoke, mainly the content was overly absurd, yet to fully digest.
