Chapter 518: Chapter 402: All Troops Return to the Mountain (4K+ Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

Guo Zhishi listened, looking in front, his heart involuntarily filled with doubt, unsure of what had happened.

Just when he put down the curtain, ready to continue his journey, suddenly, he felt a slight tremor from the ground, followed by a vague rumble from behind.

"Boom..."

Such tremors were like waves, quickly becoming clear, and the sound grew louder, as if thousands of troops and horses were rapidly advancing in this direction.

On both sides of the street, exclamations rose gradually, and sounds of doors opening and windows being pushed open were constant.

And soon, outside the carriage, there came the urgent voices of the governmental officials, "Quickly, pull over to the side!"

"Neigh"

The horse pulling the carriage neighed, under the coachman’s command and whip, quickly darting to the side of the road and stopping. The carriage jolted violently, startling the South City Governor out, covering his official hat, he stood on the carriage step.

"What happened?"

"Sir, look quickly!"

The official jumped off the horse, pulling the reins with his body’s strength to control the frightened horse, then turned his face to the rear, his voice somewhat distorted.

Guo Lixiong glanced backwards, his pupils shrank.

Only to see, on the snow-lit street behind, a cold-blazing iron stream rumbled like a flood, racing down the street!

Killing intent like fierce fire, cold light reflecting iron armor, on tall horses, armored soldiers clad in heavy armor like fierce beasts, full of intense and blazing ferocity.

One person alone was already awe-inspiring, but that cold light iron armor, under the reflection of the snowy glow, merged into one, roughly estimated, over ten thousand riders, with a momentum that formed a unified whole, the killing intent soared to the sky, enough to be called a ferocious tiger and wolf army.

These iron cavalry were all dressed in uniform Ninth Mountain armor, precisely a large troop of Ninth Mountain Army coming from two hundred miles south at the order of General Mountain!

More than a month ago, an anomaly occurred at General Mountain, wherein a large amount of pure fire crystal erupted, and the rumored Phoenix Divine Bird manifested, sparking conflict, with Chen Yuan sealing it—inside, a mysterious Fire Domain filled this mountain with extremely intense pure Fire Qi, cultivating here allowed for the absorption of the rich fire energy to refine True Qi, greatly accelerating cultivation speed.

Hence, Chen Yuan ordered the majority of Ninth Mountain troops to train here, establishing this mountain as a practice ground. In this short span of a month, the main forces of Ninth Mountain advanced rapidly in their cultivation, with many achieving breakthroughs, their vigor becoming overwhelmingly fierce and explosive as fire.

Now, mountain orders have been sent for all units to return, they’ve received the order and are returning, like beasts returning to the mountain, riding in!

Such a spectacle and momentum caused the breath of the astonished citizens along the way to catch, many powerful martial artists witnessing this tiger and wolf army squinted heavily, this force of thousands is said that even Martial Treasure Great Divine Ability Users dare not easily test its edge!

This is the might that the Ninth Mountain has amassed!

"Boom..."

This torrent of iron flowed swiftly past the evading South City Governor’s carriage, heading straight for Yunding Mountain.

And this increasingly noisy commotion made the night no longer peaceful, constantly rising whispered discussions.

"Quickly, on to Ninth Mountain!"

The South City Governor watched the distant torrent, calming the blockage in his chest caused by its aura, his tone turned urgent, urging the coachman to set off, he himself climbed back into the carriage.

The continuous actions of Ninth Mountain are something even fools can see that something major is going to happen.

"Hya!"

The coachman quickly raised the whip, spurring the carriage back on the road, following behind the more than ten thousand iron cavalry, the carriage wheels turned rapidly.

Thus, after the time of one pot of tea, the carriage finally arrived at Ninth Mountain.

At this time, Ninth Mountain trembled, filled with the neighs of horses and hoofbeats resonating over the mountain.

The Ninth Mountain campfire burned bright, illuminating the road down the mountain.

The South City Governor’s carriage stopped at the mountain’s foot with a "whew," and here, civil servants got out of the sedan, military officers dismounted.

"You all wait here!"

Guo Lixiong ordered the officials from the government office, then turned around to look at the fiery, bustling Ninth Mountain Camp, stepping up the mountain, his figure swayed with each step, covering tens of meters.

On the road up the mountain, he unexpectedly met the other three city’s governors, assembling together, heading up the mountain.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Ji, Mr. Sun, you are here too!"

"It’s Mr. Guo!"

The east, south, west, and north four city governors meet.

"What exactly happened? Is it possible that the front line is about to flare into warfare again? On my way, the more than ten thousand cavalry returned to Ninth Mountain, they should be the main forces stationed outside South City at General Mountain!" Guo Lixiong could only think of this reason.

"Not very clear, such a large-scale operation at Ninth Mountain could only have this reason, but with warfare, we are not involved, why call us four to discuss this, it’s strange right here." The East City Governor first composed himself solemnly, then frowned, showing confusion.

This is exactly why all four governors were puzzled.

Their duties lie in assisting the Overseers in governing the city, much like the four-direction County Magistrate.

"No use in speculating, we’ll know when we get there."

The four thus arrived outside the main gate of the Ninth Mountain Military Camp, where steeds continuously charged into the camp, with shouts, horse neighs, shrill whistles, overwhelmingly noisy inside.

A Green Armored Soldier stepped forward, clasping fists towards the four governors, "Four governors, please proceed to the Commander’s Platform for a meeting, follow me inside!"

Saying this, he led the four towards the military camp gate.

Passing through the noisy troops, the four governors followed to the tower at the Commander’s Platform!

Inside the tower, lamps were bright, and within the ground-level hall, people were already seated.

Two military advisers, Gao Yu and Fan Chou.

Three Garrison Generals, East City Garrison Zhou Yuan, South City Defender Mo Qianyun, West City Defender Liao Qingshan.

Also, the long history keeper of the government administrative office overseeing the arsenal, collaborating with the ten divisions of each mountain...

Generally, eleven or twelve people!

Guo Lixiong and the four governors entered, inclined hands towards Gao Yu, Fan Chou, the two military advisers, and the three garrison generals, exchanged pleasantries, "Apologies, we inferiors are late!"

Undoubtedly, governors and garrison generals are of the same rank, all secondary fifth rank, but within the Overseers, civil servants are naturally lower than military officers, hence referring to themselves as inferiors.

Gao Yu and others offered simple gestures, Guo Lixiong and company seated themselves according to order.

No one spoke in the hall, some observed silently, nose to mouth, others held tea, with the cup lid just covering the edge, quietly drinking tea, yet others exchanged whispers, all ears carefully attuned to the commotion outside.

It wasn’t long before more arrived.

North City Garrison Xiao Sheng came striding in with heavy armor, covered in killing aura, "Seems I’ve come late, those from the Jin Family are stubborn ducks with hard mouths, couldn’t pry them open, wasted some time."

Upon hearing this, the seated couldn’t help showing slight movement in eyes and brows.

Everyone heard of last night’s events, said to be under Nine Colonels’ order.

Slammed Beiliang Heir’s face!

Yet, no one openly discussed the topic here, but now almost everyone had arrived, all maintained silence, quietly awaiting the main figure’s arrival, with hearts inevitably slightly tightening.

After approximately a dozen breaths, orders came from outside.

"Lift the prohibition!"

"Others should not interfere!"

As the words fell, footsteps rapidly approached, subsequently entering the tower.

Instantly Yun Tiansheng, Liu Qing, and Lu Ming arrived briskly.

Then, the ground-floor hall doors closed with a bang.

Inside the hall, others’ faces were peculiar.

Only to hear Yun Tiansheng and the other two directly step forward, "The General is preoccupied with great matters, unable to attend, delegating us three to host today’s meeting!"

Saying this, the three sat in the front rows on either side, Yun Tiansheng glanced at the two military advisers and the four garrison guards who cast their eyes over, his expression gradually becoming serious, dropping a major announcement:

"Reports came from the front, demon seals are lifted, starting to stir, demons gathered in large numbers in salinated land, a second wave of offense will ignite soon!"

"What?"

Despite many having formed related conjectures about Ninth Mountain’s movements upon arrival, upon hearing exact news, they still couldn’t help but catch their breath.

What is destined to come will indeed come!

Others’ moods sank down.

"Scared?"

Yun Tiansheng’s eyes flickered with brilliance, surveying everyone’s expressions.

"Yun Piaoqi, just say it, what orders did the General give, I will fully cooperate." Gao Yu directly expressed his stance.

Yun Tiansheng slightly nodded, his gaze sharp as electricity, "Following the General’s order, the Ninth Mountain will immediately dispatch troops, but this time shall differ from the first, this time we may very likely initiate proactive aggression!"
