Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 993 - 660: Marching North, Chen Yuan Returns to Shu

Just as the Daqian National Master Helian Mountain announced the deployment of troops northwards, causing a tremor in the entire hall, an hour later,

at 3:45 PM, on Yunding Mountain, the lead-grey clouds rolled turbulently between the peaks, with a fierce wind carrying thunderous roars, enveloping the world in a murderous aura.

Suddenly, the void above Yunding Mountain trembled violently, like a tranquil lake into which a massive stone was dropped, with invisible ripples spreading outwards from the mountain peak.

The next second, with a rumbling sound, several beams of green light shot up from the Heavenly Patrol Hall. Within the green light, four ancient bronze mirrors, the size of bowl mouths, flew out, exuding an ancient and quaint aura as they surged towards the Four Symbols positions of Cloud Peak. Once they occupied the four corners and hovered in mid-air, the bronze mirrors expanded suddenly at a speed visible to the naked eye, with cloud patterns engraved on their edges glowing a dark green under the lightning.

Soon after, a beast roar resembling metallic cries roared throughout the sky, and the copper engravings around the mirror, like a creature that was neither tiger nor tiger, seemed to come to life. First, the eyeballs lit up with a hint of green light, then the lines of its four limbs seemed to have undulations, as if a dormant living being was awakened.

In a matter of moments, the engravings on the four ancient mirrors "came alive" completely. They transformed into semi-transparent phantoms, wandering around the enlarged bodies of the mirrors, some with their front paws pawing the ground as if to pounce towards the void; some looking up to the sky and roaring....

This is the legendary True Spirit born in the void, Zouwu!

With these True Spirit phantoms circling the bronze mirrors repeatedly, the surface of the mirrors trembled, the void emitted a buzzing sound, and spatial fluctuations emerged. At this time, the surface of the mirror in the middle of the bronze mirror began to change. Initially, it was just a faint milky white light, like wave light, then the light quickly grew intense, with an indescribable suction pulling the surrounding cloud qi towards the mirror surface.

Momentarily later, "buzz——," a series of urgent buzzing sounds simultaneously emanated from the four ancient mirrors, the milky white light on the mirror surface explosively brightened, followed by a loud "boom," as if a fierce tongue of fire tore through the void, a milky white light column shot up from the bronze mirror surface, tearing the leaden clouds, splitting the sky into a narrow light scar, causing violent spatial fluctuations that connected heaven and earth, forming four spatial transmission arrays.

At the moment the arrays formed, the mountains below shook.

A "neigh" from a horse pierced through the sky, followed by the cries of tens of thousands of war horses erupting like explosive thunder at Yunding Mountain’s peak, drowning out the drumbeats.

"Deploy the troops!"

The scene zoomed in from the storm outside to the Heavenly Patrol Hall, where the Daqian National Master Helian Mountain cast a fearsome gaze, waved his sleeve, and the four-sided bronze mirrors beyond Cloud Peak trembled, the transmission light columns surged upwards and plunged downwards, rushing into the four directions of Cloud Peak.

With this command, the generals selected and deployed within the hall bowed forward, then flicked their capes and quickly turned to walk out of the hall.

Among them was the Demon Suppression General Qi Tian, who had not yet received a task and cooperated with Helian Mountain in the Government Administrative Office!

Following him were Pei Yanhu, the Sixth, the Seventh, the Eighth... several Lang Generals!

The Shu region is currently engaged in multiple fronts, and the deployment of forces is stretched thin. The Court has not yet received the news, and troop deployment also requires time. Time is urgent, the key is speed, and the Fusi Mountain Army’s reserves need to be topped up.

Fortunately, after about a year of recuperation, the remaining mountains have gradually recovered their vitality.

As the various commanders took orders in critical situations and went out, the line of sight followed outside as the Orderly Officers ran down the mountain.

Under the vast sky of wind and rain, among the mountains, banners flapped in the wind, and the troops formed into a square formation. The warhorses in full black war armor pawed the ground slightly with their front hooves, exhaling white steam, the riders on the saddles hung long knives at their waists, inserted flags on their backs, and their gazes were as sharp as frost.

When a commander received orders to descend the mountain and arrive at their respective training grounds, they struck their armor with weapons, their gaze murderous, and shouted loudly,

"Deploy the troops!"

"....."

A horse’s neigh followed, like a bugle sounding across the sky, and thousands of troops surged forward thunderously, like a torrent breaking its banks, galloping towards the light array, splitting the wind and rain, and the raindrops splattering on the armor were instantly shattered into fine mists, forming a white line. The densely packed figures spread out across heaven and earth like a black dragon, winding towards the light array.

As each war horse stepped into the four-sided light arrays, the milky white light columns began to buzz and tremble, the True Spirit phantoms within the light arrays suddenly stirred restlessly, and the light grew increasingly radiant. In the blazing light, silhouettes became blurred, transforming into points of starlight that shot up into the sky.

At the training ground below the Seventh Mountain, the troops were already prepared, and the Heavenly General Qi Tian took the command, leading Pei Yanhu, the Seventh Mountain Middle Lang General, and several Manor Generals, ready to rendezvous and garrison Tianxiong Pass.

Tianxiong Pass, being a fortress connecting the Shu region, Beiliang, and Guanzhong, naturally required heavy troop garrisoning.

At this moment, a figure flew from the sky, followed by a powerful voice that resonated,

"General Qi, please wait!"

With hair sideburned with white and wearing green armor, the old General Gongsun Yang flew in, landing on the Soldier Inspection Platform, and cupped his hand towards the opposite Qi Tian, the Heavenly General.

At this time, Qi Tian was wearing the Flying Cloud Purple Gold Armor, his eyes sparkled like cold stars, his brows were as dark as ink, his chest broad, embodying the strength to be valiant among men.

Qi Tian, upon seeing Gongsun Yang, understood his special status, knowing that the old general represented Chen Yuan. This old general had been missing from the Ninth Mountain in recent days, and he had heard Helian National Master was searching for him urgently. Linking it to the recent explosive news, he showed a peculiar expression and whispered:

"I heard that Mr. Gongsun has not been at the Ninth Mountain these days, thinking you’re unavailable. Why didn’t I see your presence during the meeting in the hall earlier?"
