Chapter 1420: Chapter 639: Movements of the Immortal Race (2)

"After all, they have only two areas to defend, while we have three."

"That’s indeed a problem."

Zhao Tianlei waited for him to finish speaking, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Have they ever joined forces with other races?"

Ning Qi asked with a frown.

"Yes, but it’s rare; usually it only happens when a Supreme Treasure appears."

"Their alliance would prompt us to reinforce our troops, causing disorder."

Zhao Tianli responded: "The last time this happened, both of our Grand Commanders were summoned at once."

"In that battle, we lost over a million people here."

"But they didn’t fare well either, losing even more than we did."

"I’ve heard about it."

Zhao Tianlei nodded, speaking in a serious tone: "Let’s hope I don’t encounter it this time."

"It’s unlikely; it’s only happened once in hundreds of years."

"How could we be so unlucky for it to happen during our watch?"

Zhao Zhirou shook her head.

However, she was still somewhat worried.

After all, as long as they were here for a day, such situations were inevitable.

"Talking is useless; let’s go observe the situation."

"And if any relics truly appear, we must protect them first."

"Absolutely no leaks, or the situation is very likely to occur."

Zhao Tianlei looked ahead, seriously arranging the plan.

"We’re almost there."

"Our patrol teams have already appeared here."

At this time, Zhao Tianli pointed ahead and spoke to them.

Ning Qi and the others followed his gaze.

They noticed that indeed, two teams were rushing towards them.

It only took a moment for them to meet each other.

"Subordinates, salute General Zhao!"

"..."

The two teams were here to welcome them rather than to patrol.

Each wore helmet and armor, exuding solemnity.

The atmosphere around them carried a palpable killing intent.

Clearly, they were fierce characters that crawled out from piles of corpses.

"No need for formalities."

Zhao Tianlei waved his hand, then asked: "What’s the current situation?"

They were stationed here, naturally knowing the local situation better than Zhao Tianli.

"General, the Immortal Race has also dispatched troops."

"They’ve sent more people this time than usual."

One of the commanders respectfully responded.

"Oh, more than usual? What’s going on here?"

Zhao Tianlei immediately thought of a problem.

If there’s no issue, there’s no need for them to go to such lengths.

"We don’t know yet, but our spies have started investigating."

"I suspect there must be some disturbance in their territory."

The commander shook his head, analyzing as he spoke.

"Are you saying there might be some relic appearing?"

Zhao Tianlei caught onto the implication in his words.

Only such a reason could make them increase their manpower.

"Indeed, otherwise, they wouldn’t suddenly send more troops."

"Clearly, they want to protect it."

The person nodded and responded.

"Don’t act rashly for now; we’ll discuss strategies once we’re there!"

Zhao Tianlei didn’t act impulsively, but arranged things calmly.

"Yes, please, General!"

The person respectfully complied, then cleared the path.

"Move!"

Zhao Tianlei continued to lead the team on their journey.

The group marched grandly towards their garrison.

After half a day, they finally arrived.

Ning Qi stood on the deck, observing everything here.

The place was actually a fragmented continent.

There were still many troops stationed here, and on nearby continental fragments as well.

"Master, are they using an Array for their eyes?"

Medicine Spirit asked seriously, unable to hold back.

"Yes."

Ning Qi nodded: "This array can’t be easily infiltrated, even if entered, they’d be isolated."

"Therefore, people won’t recklessly take risks!"

Medicine Spirit concurred.

"Exactly."

Ning Qi nodded, focusing on the front.

On this largest continent fragment was their camp.

"General, please!"

Zhao Tianli respectfully invited them at this moment.

They had unknowingly reached the continent’s edge.

Everyone disembarked from the Flying Boat, while the others parked it on the other side.

Once they arrived, the plaza’s sides were already lined with soldiers.

"General Zhao!"

"..."

Seeing them arrive, the soldiers greeted respectfully.

Zhao Tianlei reciprocated with a fist salute, then was led into their tent.

Inside the long tent, others were already waiting for their arrival.

"General Zhao, this is the commander here, Wang Mang."

Zhao Tianli introduced to him.

Lin Fan followed suit in looking.

The man before him was broad-shouldered, exuding ferocity.

Especially his eyes, as if wanting to devour a person.

To command three armies here, he’s no ordinary person.

"General Zhao, I apologize for the late welcome."

Wang Mang greeted them politely upon seeing them approach.

His gaze lacked the soldiers’ reverence.

It was simply more courteous.

"No need for politeness, everyone sit."

Zhao Tianlei said, then beckoned everyone to sit.

"Bring the food and wine!"

Wang Mang nodded, then signaled.

Immediately, food and wine were brought.

Each group took their seats separately.

Ning Qi and Zhao Zhirou sat next to Zhao Tianlei.

"General Wang, what’s the current situation?"

Zhao Tianlei, despite knowing some details, asked out of respect.

"General, currently we’re relatively safe."

"Although the Immortal Race increased their forces, they won’t act rashly."

"We suspect they’ve discovered something in their territory."

"I’ve sent people to investigate."

Wang Mang replied calmly: "For now, it’s crucial to confirm they haven’t allied with other races."

"This way we won’t have to worry too much."

"Good, you’ve all worked hard, let’s first have a toast."

Zhao Tianlei said, raising his glass high.

"Cheers!"

"..."

After his words, everyone raised their glasses.

Then drank it all in one go.

"Now that we’ve eaten, we’ll face a challenge ahead."

Zhao Tianlei put down his glass, saying solemnly: "We must be prepared to prevent enemy assaults."

"Yes!"

"..."

After his words, everyone responded.

Then indulged in the meal.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Medicine Spirit asked inside his Dantian.

"We, of course, need to blend in and see the situation."

Ning Qi smiled confidently.

Clearly, he was prepared to play the spy.

"Ah, are we going to the Immortal Race’s territory?"

Medicine Spirit questioned.

"Yes, since there’s suspicion of an occurrence, I might as well investigate."

"If there’s indeed a Supreme Treasure or a relic, we can inform them."

Ning Qi said with a smile: "It would be a way to exact revenge."

"Unfortunately, not knowing if Dao Bujin is here."

"If he is, that would truly be revenge."

Medicine Spirit said seriously.

"General Wang, have your men found anything?"

Zhao Tianlei asked again.

"Nothing yet; they intentionally conceal secrets."

"Our spies either get caught or find no useful information."

Wang Mang shook his head.

"In that case, I’ll go myself."

Ning Qi interjected smoothly.

His words attracted attention.

Especially Wang Mang, who furrowed his brows directly.
