Chapter 4145 - One More Chance
"What is it?" the pope of the Tian Jiu Cult asked.
"You would never expect this, but Lord Yue and Empress Xia are plotting together, according to Feng Linxue herself!" Mo Lingji said with a look of disbelief.
"They're working together? Is such an exciting love story possible at a critical juncture like this?" Even he hadn't been aware of that, a testament to how well hidden this all was.
"Truly illuminating indeed," Mo Lingji said.
"The details."
Mo Lingji relayed everything Feng Linxue said, her expression souring as she did. "Our informants near the rear just reported that Empress Xia has sent her ten million elites to our rearguard. We're still struggling on the front. Now that Lord Yue has obtained the Windgod Star Staff, we might be sandwiched between two enemies for good."
"Are you certain that he got the staff?"
"That's what Feng Linxue said. She seemed completely mad, so she asked us for a temporary truce. As for the staff... maybe that's the reason why she has a grudge against Lord Yue. The fact that Empress Xia dares to charge in like that seems to suggest that Lord Yue has indeed obtained the staff and will soon join up with her. Even though they don't have that many, all of them are the cream of the crop. Coupled with their astralguard formation, we'll likely be beaten back if we continue our assault on Grand Feng. Our efforts would be for naught and the only one to benefit would be that bitch of an empress," Mo Lingji said.
The pope looked beneath at the battlefield. If the battle continued, his army would be able to break through in another hour, yet that would open them up to a pincer attack from Lord Yue and Empress Xia, risking the lives of his ninety million troops.
"Pope, we need an order!" Mo Lingji urged.
