Chapter 114: Wrong Inspiration, Master Li's Advice
Therefore, before Cao Geng could even open his mouth, Li Yunlong had already revealed the secrets of Cao Geng's past cultivation.
Just as Li Yunlong finished speaking,
On one side, both Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan, the two cultivators, looked horrified.
"What? Senior Brother Cao Geng actually had a head-on battle with the entire battle formation of the Sun Sect?" Second Hall Master Shen Quan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Cao Dabiao was also shocked.
"A month ago, this really happened. The first battle formation of the Sun Sect launched a fierce siege on my Third Palace's base for ten breaths. Fortunately, my Third Palace finally held on."
Cao Geng responded with a faint smile and did not elaborate on this.
However, Cao Geng's understated words,
Not only did Li Yunlong sigh inwardly,
Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan were also speechless.
They were deeply shocked.
Originally, they thought that it was commendable that their new regiment had been able to recruit so many monks and accumulate rich spiritual materials within these three months.
But what they didn't expect was that the Lord of the Third Hall, Cao Geng, had actually fought against an entire battle force of the Ri Sect in the past.
To know,
In the past, a battle formation of the Sun Sect was enough to despise the two major branches of the Zhong Yuan Sect.
A battle formation consists of three small formations.
Even an entire army of the Zhong Yuan Sect might not be able to defeat them.
however,
The three halls of their new regiment were able to hold out for ten hours under the attack of the entire battle formation of the Ri Zong a month ago.
This makes people wonder, how many monks did the three halls of the new group gather a month ago? How many spiritual materials did they control?
At this moment, although they were not sure how much spiritual material reserves Cao Geng currently had in his hands, they were still extremely surprised that Cao Geng was able to lead the three halls to resist an entire battle formation of the Ri Sect a month ago.
"In the battle a month ago, how many casualties did the three palaces suffer? Were the losses heavy?"
Cao Dabiao, who knew Cao Geng's past well, was aware of the many hardships his younger brother had gone through.
He took a deep breath and asked Cao Geng solemnly.
At this time,
In his mind, no matter how many monks the Cao Geng Three Halls recruited in these three months, it no longer mattered.
After all, a person who was able to survive ten hours from the entire battle formation of the Sun Sect a month ago,
Even after that great battle, there were only a few monks left in the three halls of Cao Geng.
To him, it didn't seem to be such a critical matter.
Hearing this,
Li Yunlong and Shen Quan both focused their attention on Cao Geng, waiting for his answer.
Cao Geng took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Indeed, in the battle a month ago, the Third Palace did suffer heavy losses..."
Cao Geng recalled that a month ago, their three halls had successively experienced the battle of Zhengtai Line, the battle of Xiaweidi Village, the battle of Ping'an County, the counterattack against the first battle array of Rizong outside the Ping'an Forest Farm, and the battle of Huaian County...
In just two or three days,
Their three halls experienced five fierce battles in succession.
For their three halls, they did lose a lot of brave monks.
"But fortunately, I brought back more than 900 monks this time."
Cao Geng smiled calmly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.
Bringing back more than 900 elite disciples from the battlefield was more than enough for him. He was referring to the new group of monks sent to the newly built Guiyuan Sect headquarters, a total of more than 900 people, not the only monks left in the three veins at the moment.
However, Li Yunlong, Cao Dabiao and others seemed to have misunderstood his meaning.
Even though Cao Geng explained that he still had more than 900 monks under his command, this statement still shocked Li Yunlong, Cao Dabiao and others.
"After that great war, and after a month of recuperation and training, the three veins are still able to maintain more than 900 disciples. Deacon Cao Geng is truly the backbone of our Guiyuan Sect's new group." Shen Quan praised sincerely.
"Second brother, temporary setbacks are nothing to worry about. Those devilish Japs actually gathered an entire evil brigade to launch a frenzied attack on our sect's headquarters. Even so, those who are still alive can still make us stronger. It is a blessing for our sect to have you in charge of the New 1st Regiment." Cao Dabiao said solemnly.
"I knew that you had extraordinary skills. After experiencing such a heavy blow, you were able to bring back more than 900 disciples. You are really tough!" Li Yunlong laughed heroically.
The three did not comment much on the small number of disciples Cao Geng brought back, but instead expressed deep sympathy for the difficulties he had suffered before.
In addition, under the desperate siege of an evil brigade of Japanese invaders, he was able to restore the number of his disciples to nearly a thousand again in just one month. Whether it was from the perspective of Li Yunlong, Cao Dabiao or Shen Quan, Cao Geng's ability could be described as extraordinary.
Cao Geng smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that several people had misunderstood his implication. He was about to explain to Li Yunlong and others, but before he could open his mouth, Li Yunlong no longer gave him a chance.
At this moment, after comforting Cao Geng, Li Yunlong looked solemn and turned to talk about other important matters.
"This time, our New First Group has regrouped after three months of dispersed training, and the results we have achieved are indeed extremely impressive. Now the total strength of the New First Group has reached 5,000 people, plus various spiritual materials and supplies, which are even more difficult to count."
"Now, I am no longer afraid of the oath I made before the sect master. Just give us another three months, and the new regiment will surely be able to advance to a more powerful level. Not to mention a strengthened immortal brigade, even if it is an army of immortal masters, I dare to give it a try!"
"You three are all the pillars of the sect. Without you, I alone would not be able to accomplish this task."
"However, you three should not be too happy. The reason why the sect ordered our new regiment to reorganize the troops in advance must be a major reason."
...
As time passed, not long ago, the Japanese demon tribe finally gathered all the cultivation forces in North China, attempting to carry out an unprecedented soul-killing purge in the fairyland in northwestern Shanxi where we are!
"In order to protect the headquarters and the main army to achieve strategic retreat and cultivation, this time we have to protect all troops from evacuating their original locations. This important task falls on the shoulders of our new regiment."
Li Yunlong frowned and said firmly: "I don't know if others are willing to take over such a difficult task, but for such a big event, I, Li Yunlong, must be the first to charge into battle!"
"The evildoers from Japan have ignored the laws of nature and human ethics and want to bring disaster to the fairyland in northwest Shanxi. In the face of the war of the Japanese pirates, the entire northwest of Shanxi will inevitably fall into turmoil and all lives will be lost. If we fail to completely crush the main force of these evildoers, how can we have the face to wear this cultivator's armor?"
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, his majestic voice aroused the emotional resonance of everyone present. Cao Dabiao, Cao Geng and others were all silent. To them, the Japanese evildoers had already made them hate them to the bone.
Now the evildoers were about to launch a major cleanup of the fairyland in the northwest of Shanxi. If possible, they would not hesitate to send these evildoers to the eighteenth level of the netherworld, never to be resurrected. However, the strength of the two sides was very different, and all they could do at the moment was to try their best to cover the safe retreat of the main force, which made Cao Geng and others feel aggrieved and indignant.
Li Yunlong looked around and said bluntly: "There are no outsiders here, so I will speak frankly. I received a secret report earlier that the Daxiawan headquarters intends to move all the immortal palaces to the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains. The geographical location there is both offensive and defensive, and it is extremely secretive. It is the ideal place for the headquarters' immortal palaces to establish their foothold next."
"Now, facing the parallel advancement and grid blockade tactics adopted by the Japanese evildoers, our army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's joint defense system have put great pressure. Our cover mission this time is extremely difficult."
“Now, we are here!”
As he spoke, Li Yunlong pointed directly to a point on the map in front of him. Cao Geng and the others focused their attention on the point where Li Yunlong pointed.
Then, Li Yunlong's fingers slid down.
"After completing the retreat of the headquarters and the main force, our final base will be located near Zhaojiayu, not far from the Taihang Mountains!"
Li Yunlong used his finger to draw an arc on the map and continued, "We must move along this line. Even if it takes all our cultivation, we must hold back the pace of the evildoers' sweep along this line and buy precious time for our army to occupy favorable terrain!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan nodded, knowing the importance of this battle and that they would go all out in the fight.
Cao Geng's eyes narrowed slightly, fixed on the three words "Zhao Jiayu".
