Why did you mess up the copy again?

There was huge chaos for dozens of miles around Central City, and Ulysses Monroe, the commander-in-chief of the Western Kingdom, still knew nothing about what was happening behind the positions.

He handed over all authority to mobilize the army to the headquarters, and he also wanted to stop Cheng Wen.

Ulysses had already anticipated the Dragon Kingdom's pursuit, so under careful planning, the retreat was carried out in an orderly manner with almost no casualties.

When another round of impact was over, he found that Cheng Wen seemed to be giving up.

"Tell Hopkins and Landry to speed back to Central City and stop the other teams. We can't retreat any further."

As soon as he conveyed the order, someone came running over.

"Sir, Torre is dead."

He was talking about the Blood Barber.

Ulysses' whole aura changed, and he asked almost word by word: "What did you say?"

The man was a little scared and could only bite the bullet and said: "Central City was attacked by the evil spirit in the fog. Torre escaped. He lured the bastard away by himself and ran to the location of Hopkins and Landry's troops."

Ulysses calmed down and continued to ask: "You don't have to hide it for him, he escaped back, and then what? Why did he die again? Did this idiot go back again?"

The barber was his favorite subordinate before, so he asked that person to take command before he took the people out. But now, when he knew that Central City was lost, he just wanted to push that guy to the ground and beat him hard. pause.

The messenger said: "No, the evil spirit in the fog rushed into the position and killed him."

"."

Ulysses was silent for a full three seconds, and then asked, "What do you mean?"

"He, he rushed in front of everyone, killed Chief Torre, and then, then..."

"Then what?!!"

Ulysses grabbed the opponent's collar and said fiercely, "Don't tell me and he's not dead!"

"He, he ran away."

After finally persuading himself to accept the change, Ulysses' mentality collapsed again, this time lasting for a full minute.

He paced back and forth in place, and after finally suppressing his anger, he asked: "I don't want to discuss what happened to the evil ghost in the fog now. Tell me, why was he able to break into Central City?"

"He has help."

The messenger replied, "There are so many undead souls. I heard that wherever they set foot, even the sun will disappear."

Ulysses frowned.

He had long speculated that the evil spirits in the fog had sneaked into Hanfeng State when they first retreated from Liangshui, thus not being discovered.

In that case, it was impossible for him to take "many" undead souls with him.

In other words, the opponent penetrated deeply into the territory of the Western Kingdom alone, and then also raised a powerful armed force there.

To be honest, he was a little jealous of Cheng Wen. If he had such a person under his command, why would he lead his army to fight against him personally.

"Now, where is he?"

"It seems that we have retreated to Central City."

Ulysses's eyes were full of murderous intent: "For him to retreat means that he knew that if he stayed alone, he would die. He just used some special method to escape unscathed."

"Tell Hopkins to come see me. He must die here, otherwise the secret battlefield will end and we will face the second Zhuo Feilong in reality soon."

The location where the two armies were stationed was probably the border line occupied by the Western Kingdom before its large-scale advance. It was precisely because of this that Cheng Wen did not continue the pursuit.

If we pursue it further to the southwest, we will be close to Central City. Although there is no information about that place, normally speaking, we would not rush to that position without causing huge casualties to the opponent. of.

He returned to the military formation and saw many auxiliary professions and demon witch doctors treating the wounded.

After a day and night of fighting, all the monsters were very tired. It seemed that this battle was almost over, and the result was a wasted fight. The spheres of influence occupied by both sides had not changed.

But Cheng Wen's heart is a bit heavy. So far, he has not received any news from Li Rui.

"forget it."

Kong Ji advised, "It's now time. No information about Li Rui has been found anywhere. We can't continue to take chances."

Cheng Wen nodded silently.

"It's a pity that Chen Cheng's ability can't be used."

If the prophet's precise snooping ability hadn't been blocked, at least Li Rui's life and death could be determined, unlike now.

In a location like Central City, surrounded by pursuers from the Western Kingdom, and with strong men stationed in almost every direction, a forceful siege might put large forces in danger.

Even Cheng Wen didn't dare to lead the army in, and Li Rui's situation became even worse at this time.

He had witnessed the main force of the Western Kingdom with his own eyes and knew that going north was a dead end. The vast number of enemies was not comparable to the hundreds of people he had encountered before.

When he returned to Central City, it was still chaos.

The local monsters who had surrendered due to the destruction of the city began to resist.

Li Rui did not try to incorporate these monsters, because after he informed Juye of the surrounding situation, the ghost general made it clear that it was impossible to defend the city.

These city walls cannot stop the demon cultivators and human extraordinary beings, they must leave.

"How about retracing our steps?"

"That's slow death."

"Isn't it okay to go north and fight hard?"

"If according to what my benefactor said, the main force of the enemy's army is still there, so of course we can't do it."

"Then the only option is to go south."

To the east is the lower reaches of Liangshui. The entire section is called Bailidu. It is not really a hundred miles wide, but it is impossible to cross. If you want to return to Wangzezhou, you can only go south.

Although Li Rui didn't know that the Polar Alliance had started heading north, he could guess that they would definitely not do nothing at this time.

If there's a fierce battle over there, it might be a good idea to lead the cavalry and charge out.

He first ran into the arsenal of the Western Kingdom headquarters, and hurriedly threw a few boxes for storing loot to Giant Hercules. He didn't even have time to see what was inside, and hurriedly led his team to start leaving the city from the south.

The main force of the Western Kingdom was chasing behind them, and he didn't dare to stay any longer.

Fortunately, Giant Hercules has acquired a lot of natural and earthly treasures along the way. Not to mention other things, he is supplemented by the strength of dragons and tigers, so he can keep up with him all the way.

So, when Hopkins led a small but elite team back to Central City, he was greeted only by a chaotic situation, and the target he wanted to pursue had already gone south.

"He stole our inventory," Landry said bitterly.

"Greed will cost him."

Hopkins said, "Since time was wasted, he must not have run far. If we continue to pursue him, he will not be able to escape."
