Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 454: Difficult Circuit

Great Chu, Southern Border, Southern Forest Army.

Central tent.

The Marshal of the Southern Forest Army sat at the upper end inside the tent.

"Marshal, General Zhou Li of the Blood Dragon Team has urgent matters to report!"

A guard reported.

"Oh? So soon?"

A smile appeared on the Marshal’s face as he hurriedly said, "Quickly, invite him in!"

This ambush mission was personally directed and arranged by him.

Ever since they had captured a spy from Great Xia, he had begun planning.

Now that Zhou Li from the Blood Dragon Team was here, it was naturally to report on the ambush.

He had dispatched four squads of the Blood Dragon Team to handle those thieves from Great Xia intending to launch a sneak attack, it should have been easy to capture them.

Could it be that those fellows had been completely annihilated?

Just then, four officers hurriedly entered the tent.

Leading them was naturally Zhou Li, the captain of the Blood Dragon Team, holding the rank of General.

"Greetings, Marshal!"

Zhou Li immediately knelt on one knee and fist-saluted.

The three people behind him also performed the salute.

"General Zhou, and all Colonels, no need for excessive formalities!"

The Marshal said with a smile.

He glanced over the three Colonels behind Zhou Li, seeing that they were quite disheveled, but he didn’t take it to heart. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Presumably, these men had just gone through a battle.

"Take your seats!"

The Marshal waved his hand, and several guards immediately brought over four wooden chairs.

However, Zhou Li and his team did not get up.

"Please forgive us, Marshal!"

Zhou Li respectfully said.

"Hmm?"

The Marshal’s smile stalled.

"Marshal, this ambush mission has failed!"

Zhou Li said bitterly.

The Marshal’s eyes slightly narrowed as he said, "Failed? The thieves from Great Xia got away?"

For this mission, in order to lure the people from Great Xia into launching a sneak attack, he had even instructed to increase the transported materials.

Could it be that they attracted too many people from Great Xia this time?

For this operation, other than three battle camps, there were also four squads of the Blood Dragon Team; unless the entire Red Feather Team was mobilized, it shouldn’t have failed.

But mobilizing a special battle team entirely was too difficult.

After all, this was within Great Chu’s territory. If he were the Marshal of Great Xia, he definitely wouldn’t dare to mobilize the entire Red Feather Team.

As you know, the stakes of failure were too high.

"Marshal, this ambush mission completely failed. We didn’t manage to kill a single enemy, but instead, we lost the second and third squads of the Blood Dragon Team. Only the captain of the third squad, Jiang Lie, survived. Additionally, the materials we were transporting were either all stolen or destroyed. Even the Divine Thought Masters met their end."

Zhou Li reported.

Though he also found it hard to believe,

that was the reality.

"What? What did you say?"

The Marshal suddenly stood up, staring intently at Zhou Li.

He couldn’t believe that the trap they had deliberately set not only didn’t harm a single member of Great Xia’s Red Feather Team, but instead, they suffered heavy losses.

Zhou Li repeated it once more.

"Bang!"

The Marshal smashed the table in front of him into pieces, uncontrollably furious!

They had prepared so thoroughly, outnumbering the enemy significantly; how could they suffer such a total defeat?

Could it be that the Marshal of Great Xia personally took action?

Otherwise, relying on the Red Feather Team of Primordial Pill Realm level eight, they absolutely wouldn’t be their match!

The Marshal moved quickly, appearing in front of Zhou Li, bent down, staring at Zhou Li, and coldly asked, "How many people were there in the enemy?"

"Two squads of the Red Feather Team!"

Zhou Li said.

"Bang!"

The Marshal kicked Zhou Li to the ground, furiously shouting, "What the hell are you talking about?"

How could the enemy’s two special Battle Teams be a match for his four Battle Teams? Wiping out nearly two of his teams and still managing to retreat unscathed?

Could it be that the two teams from Great Xia were all Cultivators at the ninth level of Primordial Pill Realm?

Although there has been constant warfare between Great Xia and Great Chu,

both sides have always exercised restraint.

That is, they fundamentally do not deploy Cultivators at the ninth level of Primordial Pill Realm.

Because, at this level, they are the top-tier combat power of both nations.

Unless one side’s overall strength far surpassed the other and could annihilate the opponent, they would deploy warriors of this caliber.

Zhou Li stood up and continued, "In fact, according to Jiang Lie and others, it was mainly because the other side had a monstrous genius who, although only at the fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, possessed extremely terrifying strength, especially his speed, which even those at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm might not match. Most of our losses in the two Battle Teams were at his hands."

The Marshal from the Southern Forest was completely stunned.

A mere fifth level of the Primordial Pill Realm had wiped out two of his hard-trained Blood Dragon Teams?

He simply could not accept it!

Once he regained his composure, a longsword materialized in his hand, and he moved to strike Zhou Li.

"Marshal!"

"Marshal, you mustn’t!"

"Marshal, even if you want to assign blame, we need a thorough investigation!"

"Marshal, the people of Great Xia might still be within the territory of Great Chu, the most imperative thing now is to catch them!"

Several Deputy Generals hurried over to dissuade him.

The Marshal dejectedly sat on the ground, throwing his longsword aside.

"Someone, take Zhou Li and the others into custody for me!"

"Additionally, pass my command, asking the king to deploy Cultivators at the ninth level of Primordial Pill Realm over here!"

It took a long while before the Marshal came to his senses and issued the orders.

Right now, the most important thing was to detain those two Red Feather Teams.

As for Zhou Li, that could be dealt with later.

"Gather all the strongest at the ninth level in the General’s army, await my command."

Although it’s said that during wartime, level nine forces shouldn’t be deployed,

but since they are currently within the territory of Great Chu, he could completely mobilize level nine forces to capture the Red Feather Team.

"Additionally, have the army immediately head to the border, and block all essential paths for me. I want to see how these people manage to return to Great Xia."

...

Orders were issued throughout the Southern Forest Army.

All soldiers sprang into action.

...

In a mountain forest,

Ling Chen and his companions hurried forward.

Yanling was relatively far from Great Xia.

Although they were rushing, it would still take a day or two to return to Great Xia.

Especially when crossing the border, a battle was likely to occur.

Moreover, their infiltration into Great Chu might have already spread throughout the Southern Forest Army, making the road back to Great Xia fraught with difficulties.

Hence, they needed to keep moving swiftly and also maintain their combat readiness to handle any potential relentless pursuit.

This invisibly slowed down their progress.

As they advanced, they soon discovered numerous Great Chu Soldiers patrolling ahead.

With their strength, dealing with such soldiers was very easy.

However, if they alarmed these soldiers, their location would be exposed.

The Great Chu Soldiers would reduce the search range.

It would then become difficult for them to sneak past quietly.

Even more, the Great Chu Soldiers could encircle the area.

They would face an endless stream of soldiers.

Although they were powerful, facing such a vast number of soldiers, once their Spiritual Power was exhausted, they would essentially have little combat power left.

And as time went on, stronger Cultivators from Great Chu would arrive,

at that time, they would face even greater danger.

In this tense atmosphere, the joy of completing their mission gradually faded as they started worrying about their own safety.
