n seclusion. No one is permitted to enter without my permission. Anyone who disobeys will be considered an enemy of the Demon Suppression Division!”The awe-inspiring might of Heaven and Earth.Like a t...In the forest.

The Black Tiger Army set up camp.

First, there was the fierce battle defending Jin City, followed by the chaos within the city walls and the final desperate breakout. They were exhausted.

Even with Shen Changqing providing cover, the Black Tiger Army couldn't truly advance continuously.

That's the end.

After the scouts found a relatively safe and concealed location, over two thousand Black Tiger soldiers temporarily settled down.

>

Some men were sent out to air themselves, and the rest of the Black Tiger Army didn't take off their armor to rest on the spot. They took out the prepared rations and swallowed them with water.

Chu Ding and others leading the troops also received similar treatment.

Night.

A faint fire flickered, providing a little light ahead but not enough to be seen from too far away.

In the dry land.

A simple sand table was etched into it.

Chu Ding held a branch in his hand, pointing at the terrain above, then looked up at the others.

“Our current location is roughly here, in a desolate area to the south. The barbarian army invaded Dahuang Mansion from south to north. According to intelligence, the barbarian army is now divided into five routes.”

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

Among them, the barbarian tribes attacking Jincheng were only one route. The remaining four routes of barbarian troops were all located in these positions.”

When speaking.

The branch tapped a few other places.

Those several locations connect with Jincheng together, just forming an arc.

"It can be seen that the barbarians want to expand their territory in a curved manner, and then shrink inwards to crush our forces, thus further nibbling away at the Great Wilderness Mansion."

So if we evacuate, going outwards would be easy prey for other barbarian armies. The only way to regroup with the other forces is to head north along the barbarian encirclement.

Upon hearing this.

Nie Xu frowned.

>

"What the barbarians are doing now is essentially driving us together. But what right do they have to do this Honestly, with the barbarians' strength, it's impossible for them to occupy the Great Wilderness Prefecture."

Even if the barbarians were lucky enough to seize control of the Great Wilderness Mansion, it would only be temporary.

With the power of the imperial court, what qualifications do barbarians have to resist

By the time the imperial court reacted and sent troops southward, the barbarians could only abandon the Big Wilderness Mansion and flee.

As he spoke, he shifted his shoulders, instantly pulling at the wound. A piercing pain flashed through him, paling his face.

He gasped, easing the pain. Nie Xu's gaze remained fixed on the sand table.

“The barbarians have repeatedly attacked Dahuang Prefecture to loot winter supplies. Right now, there is still some time left until winter, so the barbarians' invasion of Dahuang Prefecture is too early.”

To say that the barbarians attacked Dahuangfu was a joke.

Actually, many people have a pretty good idea of just how powerful the barbarians are.

To rival the Qin Dynasty, you are far behind.

Over the years.

More barbarians died at the hands of Qin than Qin people died at the hands of barbarians.

Even when the Qin state was weakened, it was still not something that barbarians could contend with.

To be blunt.

Even now, if there were no barbarous regions to rely on, the Qin Empire, with all its might, could still exterminate all barbarians.

"Barbarians grow bold, perhaps they think the might of Qin has weakened and can no longer contain them. They are mistaken."

Chu Ding shook his head, harboring a deep hatred for the barbarians.

"But no matter what, the barbarians' purpose is definitely more than just plundering. Although it's unclear where their confidence comes from now, this matter is not something we can handle right now."

Barbarian invasion of the Dahara Prefecture, but whether they retreated later, the Dahara Prefecture is destined to suffer heavy losses.

From last night until now, that's about a day and a half. I imagine the news has spread quite a bit by now. Even though Dahuang Mansion hasn't fully reacted yet, it's almost there.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After resting for a few hours, we will prepare to meet with the Black Tiger Army stationed elsewhere.

I've calculated that enough time has passed for the message to have spread.

Then.

He looked at Zhong Chi beside him.

Just like Nie Xu, Zhong Chi was also seriously injured.

After all, charging into battle and breaking through enemy lines, it's impossible to say that one wouldn't be injured.

A martial artist of a certain caliber.

Not yet qualified to fight among the ranks and protect oneself.

If it weren't for someone protecting him, Nie Xu might have been killed in the chaos of battle.

"Has there been any news from Tianchawei"

“I can’t get in touch with Tiangong very much right now.”

Zhong Chi shook his head.

The Tianchawei intelligence network is dense, but that doesn't mean it's truly everywhere.

Now that Jin City has fallen, the Heavenly Watch within the city suffered heavy losses. He couldn't even say for sure how many survivors there might be.

Besides, since he is now withdrawing with the Black Tiger Army, he has temporarily severed ties with the Celestial Watch.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

That's all.

It's impossible to collect any information at all.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ding's face showed a hint of disappointment.

If we had intelligence from the Sky Watch, combined with our own Black Tiger Army's information, we might be able to learn more.

But he also understands.

Heaven-Watching Guard is not omnipotent, Zhongchi's current situation isn't much better than his.

In the dim firelight, everyone's face looked grim.

Zhong Chi suddenly sighed.

"I wonder how Lord Shen is doing now. To single-handedly stop a horde of barbarians, even the strongest warrior like Tiger, Leopard, Thunder, and Sound would likely struggle against such odds!"

Although Shen Changqing is strong, the barbarians are not weak either.

Moreover, as a mid-stage Grandmaster, Mai Ba's strength is formidable. While not on par with the late-stage Grandmasters like Tiger, Leopard, and Thunderclap, his abilities are hardly inferior.

To be honest.

He was not confident in Shen Changqing.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If Shen Changqing were to fall into the hands of the barbarians, the Demon Suppression Division would absolutely be furious.

A powerful warrior of the Tiger, Leopard, Thunder and Sound School, even the Demon Suppression Division cannot afford to lose him carelessly.

Chu Ding's face was composed.

"Lord Shen, since he dared to hold back alone, his strength is beyond our estimation. Although the barbarian army is numerous, it's impossible to keep him. After all, at that level of power, he's not comparable to ordinary warriors."

Even with Miles' intervention, the odds of the barbarians overwhelming him are still slim.

Perhaps, by this time, Lord Shen had already retreated first.

"I hope so!"

Zhong Chi sighed again, a long one this time.

Immediately.

The scene fell silent.

Over two thousand Black Tiger soldiers were stationed in the dense forest. There was no unnecessary sound, unless someone saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe that over two thousand people were hidden inside.

Time passed slowly.

Even the Black Tiger Army, who were out in the open, dared not relax for a moment.

The barbarians are quite arrogant now, who knows when they might send someone to attack us.

This is the time.

A scout can be very effective.

Suddenly.

In the dim vision, a black shadow slowly walked over, accompanied by a thick smell of blood.

Suddenly.

A voice like an owl echoed through the silent night sky.

Soon, other owl calls intertwined and echoed through the night.

>

Someone is here!

"Hurry and tell the others!"

Scout hidden in other places, as well as the Black Tiger Army resting and stationed, all received the news first hand.

Chu Ding spoke in a low voice, "Everyone, remain calm. Wen Ce, come with me to check the situation."

The signals of an ambush can also come in many forms.

If it were a large army attacking, the signal would be very urgent.

Though the signal has sounded, it is not urgent. It appears that someone is coming, but they are not many in number.

In this case.

If the Black Tiger Army were all to be alerted, it would undoubtedly expose themselves. It's better for me to take a few people quietly past. If they are indeed barbarians, we can strike them down with thunderous force, and also avoid exposing the other Black Tiger Army members.

“I'll follow you to take a look.”

Zhong Chi got up.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ding did not hesitate.

Nie Xu was very self-aware and didn't intend to follow.

>

"My cultivation is too weak, so I won't hold you back. Be careful."

"Well, Lord Nie, please rest here comfortably!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Chu Ding didn't have the idea of letting Nie Xu go either. A martial artist who wasn't even at the Tongmai realm, what use would he be if he went along

In times of crisis.

It's probably just holding everyone back.

After sending the signal, the scout remained motionless, silently perched in the tree, using the surrounding darkness to conceal himself and watching as the shadow approached.

As the other approached, the metallic scent of blood grew stronger, almost making me want to vomit.

Not until the shadow had completely come under the tree did the scout see clearly what kind of person it was.

Ragged, bloodstained clothing.

A long sword hung at his waist, its scabbard no longer the original color, completely replaced by a black-red from dried blood.

When he saw that face, drenched in blood, his heart skipped a beat.

"Master Shen!"

Seeing who it was, the hidden scout immediately emerged from the shadows and appeared before Shen Changqing.

Someone has arrived.

Shen Changqing's face didn't show any signs of surprise.

He had long since sensed someone was in the tree.

"Are you from the Black Tiger Army"

Looking at the other person's clothing, Shen Changqing understood.

After breaking through, he followed the faint traces left by the Black Tiger Army's retreat. He wasn't entirely sure if the Black Tiger Army would stay here, but seeing the people in front of him confirmed his suspicions.

The black tiger army soldier was visibly agitated.

“Mr. Shen, you’re alright, that’s truly great!”

Shen Changqing's actions of covering the retreat, all the Black Tiger Army saw with their own eyes. They felt sincere admiration for this powerful figure from the Demon Suppressing Division.

Now that the other party has reappeared, it means they didn't die at the hands of the barbarian army. It's undoubtedly a joyous occasion.

That's when.

Chu Ding also came with people.

Seeing this, the Black Tiger Army soldier worried that there might be a conflict between the two sides and hurriedly spoke up.

“The visitor is Shen Changqing, Master Shen!”

And then he spoke.

The accompanying troop immediately became agitated.

Chu Ding and Zhongchi, leading the way, used their night vision to clearly see Shen Changqing's face from a distance.

That face.

Even if they were covered in blood, they could still recognize them.

“It’s really Lord Shen!”

Both their hearts trembled, and their faces immediately broke into smiles.

Very soon.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Black Tiger Army that followed, came out from the shadows.
