"In our generation, everyone in the entire Heaven-Questioning Pavilion knew him."
Elder Qing Xue sighed softly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
Chen Mu's spirits lifted; there seemed to be a story behind this...
Core Formation Realm cultivators have a lifespan of about three hundred years. It is impossible to know Elder Qing Xue's true age from her appearance alone, nor is it known which generation Elder Qing Xue was referring to.
"He's come up with another new invention; it seems he really values you."
Elder Qing Xue fiddled with a Handheld Rune Cannon placed to the side, seemingly recalling something.
"Follow Senior Brother Ming closely; he is truly a very, very good senior."
After saying this, Elder Qing Xue turned and left.
"Senior?"
Chen Mu carefully pondered the last sentence and seemed to understand something.
Over the course of the night, the members of the Sword Guardian Battalion took turns working to dig out the demon cores of the Otherworldly Demon they had killed around Broken Blade Peak the day before, and also cut off the ears of the Otherworldly Demon, piling them up in a corner.
Even if they didn't cut off the ears, as long as Absolute Sword City, Bai Jinglong would definitely give each of them a battle record. However, without any proof, it would be easy for them to have their records withheld. It would be more reassuring to hand over the ears to the military.
" Duoduo! What's the Otherworldly Demon Camp up to today?"
Chen Mu asked Chen Duo, who was in charge of observing the movements of the Otherworldly Demon.
Chen Duo put down the binoculars, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"They seem to be doing much the same as yesterday; their main force is already preparing to set off, and they should be starting the siege again."
"Oh? It's about the same as yesterday."
Chen Mu frowned and pressed for an answer.
"Is there anything else special?"
Chen Duo thought for a moment, then added.
"There seem to be fewer Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon patrolling near the camp, but Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon 're too scattered and often go into the forest, so I'm not entirely sure."
Chen Duo's words gave Chen Mu a bad feeling.
"Keep a close eye on the Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon, especially when they return to the camp."
After finishing his sentence, Chen Mu ignored Chen Duo's puzzled expression and went straight to the Sword Guardian Battalion.
"How did everyone rest? Have you all recovered?"
"It's all better now."
"No problem, no pressure."
A Huo, Yin Zhan, Zheng Fengdao, and others answered in turn.
"Yesterday's battle went very smoothly. This is certainly due to everyone's efforts, but more importantly, the Otherworldly Demon were unaware of our existence."
However, the Otherworldly Demon will definitely be prepared for our next attack, and may even have set traps for us.
Therefore, we must be cautious with our next attack. There's no need for us to rush into battle now; let's observe the situation first.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he sat down on a chair in front of the Sword Guardian Battalion and waited quietly.
Half an hour later, Chen Duo hurriedly came to find Chen Mu.
"Brother, I saw the Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon bring back a lot of humans..."
Chen Duo paused, unsure how to continue.
"Hmph! Just as I expected!"
Chen Mu angrily slapped the pillar beside him, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
" The Otherworldly Demon are using local resources to replenish their military rations; what a clever plan!"
It must be said that Chen Mu made a mistake this time; he forgot that the Otherworldly Demon could eat people, and this was not a war between humans.
However, capturing humans in the surrounding area is also very troublesome for them, which will definitely affect the distribution of their forces, and the destruction of their supplies still causes them great inconvenience.
News of Chen Duo gradually spread throughout the Sword Guardian Battalion, and many people were extremely angry and eagerly requested to go into battle.
"Alright! Those who wish to fight, move to the right. Those who choose to stay behind, you don't need to move."
Chen Mu suggested.
Tap tap tap!
As the crowd surged, most people instantly moved to the right, and then the remaining few looked at each other and quickly followed suit.
Seeing that morale was high, Chen Mu no longer hesitated.
"Alright! Let's set off now. Destination: the camp of the Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon."
As Chen Mu approached the Otherworldly Demon army camp, the main force of the Otherworldly Demon was already engaged in a fierce battle on the city walls.
The Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon can fly, and approaching their camp is more dangerous than other locations, but this cannot dampen the fighting spirit of the Sword Guardian Battalion members.
The group moved stealthily and slowly through the forest. Chen Mu even used Invisibility Talisman on some of the less skilled individuals to ensure the success of their mission.
" Cannon Squad, prepare yourselves. Three bombardments at 1.5 km, 2 km, and 2.3 km ahead."
Based on the location information provided by Chen Duo, Chen Mu prepared to launch a surprise attack.
Such bombardment might accidentally injure the humans captured by the Otherworldly Demon and taken to the military camp, but Chen Mu couldn't care less; they were going to die anyway if they fell into the hands of the Otherworldly Demon.
The Cannon Squad set up their cannons, with members of the Mobile Squad behind each of them holding the shells so they could change them quickly, thus increasing their firing rate.
"Ready... fire!!"
biu... biu... biu...!
The artillery fire was directed into the sky, and soon the roar of the shells echoed in the distance. The Mobile Squad quickly assisted the Cannon Squad the shells, Cannon Squad's skill in adjusting the scales also increased.
biu... biu... biu...!
In less than seven seconds, the second salvo was launched.
Chen Mu released his Divine Soul and kept a close eye on the surrounding movements, but he did not see the Otherworldly Demon rushing over, which gave him a sense of foreboding.
biu... biu... biu...!
After the third salvo was completed, Chen Mu ordered a full retreat without hesitation.
Whoosh whoosh!
Sword Guardian Battalion had only run a few hundred meters back when Chen Mu sensed through his Divine Soul that the figures of Otherworldly Demon had appeared in all directions of the forest.
"There's an ambush! The Mobile Squad will lead the way, we'll charge through."
Although Chen Mu was startled, he remained calm. Although he didn't know how the Otherworldly Demon had managed to evade his surveillance and appear on the way back to Broken Blade Mountain, he was still full of fighting spirit and confidence.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two King Level powerhouses have appeared, causing Chen Mu's heart to tremble.
However, after carefully sensing the situation, Chen Mu discovered that one of the Demon King kings was weak and likely the one he had injured the night before. This made him feel much less pressured.
Whoosh!
Elder Qing Xue flew into the sky, releasing her aura and colliding with the two Demon King from afar.
"Kill!"
The Sword Guardian Battalion Camp soon encountered the Otherworldly Demon who came to intercept them. This group of Otherworldly Demon was clearly elite, with considerable combat power. Among them were also hundreds of Throwing Otherworldly Demon, which could also attack from a distance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Spear Squad began firing, and under the powerful barrage, the intercepting Otherworldly Demon suffered heavy casualties immediately.
" A Huo, Yin Zhan, you two lead the way. Don't linger in the fight; finish this quickly!"
Although it's unclear how these elite Otherworldly Demon appeared in the rear, their numbers certainly aren't large. We can't allow them to entangle us and for the Otherworldly Demon army to encircle us.
Sword Control Technique!
A Huo took the lead, charging into the horde of Otherworldly Demon, his sword flashing fiercely as he single-handedly took on a hundred enemies.
