Chapter 303 Counterattack
After the army recruited by the Burning Sky City arrived, they prepared to move directly into the Nine Red City.

But the four main gates of Jiuchi City were closed, and only a small door at the east gate was open.

“I don’t know which sir is in charge of this event. A banquet has been prepared in the city. Please come in.” The four imperial envoys of the Chi family stood in a row in front of the east gate.

An army of ten thousand people stopped outside the city gate. A beastmaster looked down at the four people from above. The flaming unicorns they were riding snorted impatiently.

The sun was high in the sky, and they were marching quickly, riding on fire-type beasts. These armored guards of the giant city felt very hot.

The scorching air waves spread in the air like a powder keg that could explode at any time.

One by one, the flaming unicorns began to stomp their feet.

There were footsteps coming from the ground.

"With so many of us coming to support you, what do you mean by stopping us outside the city gate? Is this how you treat guests in Jiuchi City?" A loud shout came from the guards of the huge city of tens of thousands.

The army made way for them, and a one-horned flaming horse that was two heads taller than the other horses around it rushed up to the four people.

Faced with the flaming unicorn galloping towards them, the four men guarding the city gate didn't even blink.

"We have built a military camp outside the west gate and boiled some white pear water to clear away heat and relieve summer heat." said the youngest of the four.

The adjutant was able to come out, which must have been authorized by the chief officer.

But they couldn't let the giant city guards enter the city. It was easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.

They were just temporarily borrowing these giant city guards to deal with those mercenaries. If they stayed in the city for a long time, it would be difficult to get rid of these leeches.

"You invited us here, not us taking the initiative to come here. Don't you even have this little sincerity?" The adjutant glanced at the four people coldly.

The adjutant said in an inexplicable tone, "Just a bunch of ragtag mercenaries tortured you like this? It seems that Jiuchi City is not that great."

The giant city guards behind the adjutant laughed wildly.

Mercenaries sound like a group of people who live on the edge of a knife, but in the Burning Sky City they can only bully some independent cultivators with no background.

In front of the giant city guards, they were just a mob that was defeated at the first blow.

The young man among the four argued, "We can easily deal with them as they are just a group of mercenaries, but they are not ordinary mercenaries. The Xia Kingdom is behind them!"

The slightly older beastmaster of the Chi family said, "Yes, that group of mercenaries even announced that the extra beasts in their group were picked up in the desert."

No beastmaster in the entire Jiuchi City believed this reason.

Those mercenaries are just shitting in their brains!
"Xia Country? Are you talking about the guys who were almost wiped out by us?" The adjutant sneered. They were just a group of monkeys who could only hide in the encirclement.

Once the adults above are ready, they can be destroyed at any time.

Behind the hill in the distance, several hidden figures could see the situation here clearly.

"It seems that the new reinforcements and Jiuchi City are not on the same page."

"Hehe, interesting, but I don't know which legion commander the Burning Sky Giant City sent this time."

The giant city guards of the Burning Sky Giant City are divided into combat units of about 10,000 people each, led by a legion commander.

Above the legion commander are ten army lords, and each army lord has more than ten legion commanders under his command.

The strength of these legion commanders and military lords are basically in the same class - high and transcendent.

The weak main beast tamers can only transcend the seventh level, while the strong ones can transcend the ninth level, and some monsters can even reach the tenth level.

"I don't know, but it seems that those bastards in Jiuchi City have been cornered by us and actually invited people from Burning Sky City to come over."

Several scouts came from the Gray Fox, Heart of Resistance, Holy Flame Sword and Shield, and Stone Gate Fortress Mercenary Group.

They looked at each other and left at the same time in tacit understanding.

Return to Stone Town.

Many beastmasters who participated in this battle were very excited.

After each battle, the most anticipated moment is dividing the cake.

A huge amount of resources were dumped out, and the square of the mansion was covered with ores and treasures opened from other storage ornaments, shining brightly and colorfully.

Each storage accessory is marked.

Of course, these are all spoils of war from beastmasters below the transcendent level. The spoils of war from enemies killed by a transcendent beastmaster belong solely to the transcendent beastmaster.

Of course, there are corresponding responsibilities in the military, that is, unless the situation is extremely dangerous, a transcendent-level beastmaster must not abandon a beastmaster below the transcendent level at will.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and divide the spoils." Zhao Guangming said to the beastmasters behind Ning Yi and Zhou San.

The beastmaster behind Ning Yi and Zhou San looked at the two of them.

Although they had participated in the battle not long ago, they were only as followers of two people.

Ning Yi immediately turned around and said to the beastmasters behind him: "Let's go and divide the spoils."

Zhou San's eyes flickered. Never mind. Since he had come this far, he might as well take one more step. So he said to the elder behind him, "Uncle San, you can take the rest of the family with you."

Zhou Xiong understood what his nephew meant, and said to the other Zhou family beastmasters, "Let's go and divide the spoils."

After the news that Chen Xing and his team had solved the mining problem and killed Chi Clan's seventh elder Chi Xie spread, the other four mercenary groups did not believe it at first. But after confirming the authenticity of the news, they had a completely different opinion of the newly formed Yellowstone Mercenary Group.

"I didn't expect that this Huangshi mercenary group was so capable that they actually killed an elder of the Chi family."

"Have you found out who killed him?"

"Some say it was Mr. Chen, and some say it was a master around Mr. Chen."

The news coming out from the Yellowstone Mercenary Group is both true and false.

It was difficult for many ordinary beastmasters to know the truth, but the other four mercenary groups and the City Lord's Mansion, who were more well-informed, knew the truth.

"He was actually able to kill a beastmaster who had reached the sixth level of transcendence." In the City Lord's Mansion, Su Lai was shocked by the news. Chen Xing looked quite young, seemingly less than twenty years old.

"Geniuses are always different from ordinary people." Gu Yuzhi chuckled, and he thought of the first time he met Chen Xing in the illusion.

At that time, he was just an ordinary beast tamer. After Chen Xing died in the illusion, he posthumously conferred the title of colonel on him.

Of course, it is just a posthumous title in an illusion and does not affect reality.

But now it seems that even if his strength were put into reality, he would be able to secure his position as colonel.

As for the general level. Although he has not been back for a long time, many strong men have emerged in Da Xia in recent years, and there is a group of geniuses vying for every position in the army.

To become a general, one must at least be of a high rank.

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew quickly in the sky.

A special animal trainer untied the letter tied to the pigeon's feet and presented it to Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yuzhi untied the ribbon and opened the letter.

A ripple flashed across his originally peaceful eyes, "The Burning Sky City is so generous that they actually sent him here."

Curiosity flashed in Su Lai's eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He kept his identity in mind. The city lord would naturally tell him what he wanted to say, and he couldn't ask any more questions if he didn't want to say it.

"Take a look." Gu Yuzhi threw the letter to Su Lai.

Su Lai took the letter and was shocked after reading it.

Mr. Liu of the Gray Fox is dead!
The gentleman of every mercenary group is the core leader.

Just like Mr. Chen from the Huangshi Mercenary Group which was established not long ago.

This Mr. Liu is the core figure of the Gray Fox. I heard that he is from Jinyewei!
The intelligence stated that the First Supreme of Jiuchi City joined forces with the new military leader, and the two powerful men traveled thousands of miles to attack the Gray Fox.

The gray fox Mr. Liu was defeated and killed!
According to the intelligence, the First Supreme was just a roving presence and did not take any action from beginning to end, while the new army leader merely summoned a beast tamer and completed the feat of five in a row.

Kill Mr. Liu on the spot! According to intelligence, this Mr. Liu is also a high-ranking person.

Possessing the seventh-level transcendental "Mountain- ...

"The new military commander is dead." Gu Yuzhi said.

Su Lai was puzzled at first, but then he realized, "Is Daxia going to take action?"

"It's not Daxia. The death of one Liu Ye won't alarm the entire Daxia, but it can alarm Jinye Guard. Jinye Guard hasn't suffered such a big loss in many years."

This news was urgently sent back to Daxia overnight.

Just as Gu Yuzhi said, the death of a high-ranking transcendent soldier would not cause an earthquake in Daxia, and since this mission was special, the news was not widely spread, but only caused a certain response in some areas.

However, a huge earthquake occurred within Jinyewei.

Because Liu Ye is the purple-robed commander, second only to the red-robed commander.

There are only twenty purple-robed commanders in the Jinye Guard, and each red-robed commander has two purple-robed commanders under him.

More importantly, there has not been a death of a person of the Purple Robe Commander’s caliber in the Jin Ye Guard for thirty years.

And he didn't die in any particularly important place. He was just ambushed and beheaded in a local war against Jiuchi City.

For Jin Yewei, who was mainly a spy, this kind of death was equivalent to being slapped hard in the face by a dwarf who was full of strength.

It's embarrassing and even more shameful.

The next evening, the teleportation array began to glow.

A slender figure stepped out from the teleportation array.

A young man followed behind him.

"Sir, do we need to notify the Gray Fox?"

"No need." The slender figure was wearing a black cloak, an exquisite black hat on his head, and a hanging veil covering his face.

"Liu Ye is a waste. He was a purple-robed commander, but he was suddenly ambushed and beheaded. It would be embarrassing if this way of death were to spread out. Do you know what the other red-robed people said about me yesterday?" The man under the bamboo hat spoke calmly, without much emotion.

But he was familiar with the adults and understood that they were not in a good mood at the moment.

Qin Xuan lowered his head and dared not say more.

"Come with me for a walk." Ming Junting said casually.

"By the way, I remember Chen Xing seemed to be here too?"

"Yes sir, and I am also in charge of a mercenary group called the Yellowstone Mercenaries."

The day before coming, Qin Xuan caught up on intelligence and learned a lot of news here.

"Let's go see him first."

Ming Junting's arrival was very unexpected to Chen Xing.

He didn't expect Ming Junting to come here.

Chen Xing was just about to say hello when Ming Junting waved his hand slightly. Chen Xing understood what he meant and swallowed his words immediately.

In terms of position, although the two are not in the same department, Ming Junting's position is much higher than his.

"This is not the place to talk, follow me."

Chen Xing brought Ming Junting to a quiet room deep in the mansion.

Ming Junting asked: "Do you know the purpose of my trip?"

"Know."

Even though Chen Xing didn't know about it on the day of the incident, after a day of fermentation, Chen Xing also learned the news that the leader of the Gray Fox had been beheaded.

I didn't expect the new legion commander to be so cruel. I don't know how he got the information, but he beheaded the leader of the Gray Fox.

"There must be a traitor among the Gray Fox, otherwise they wouldn't know Liu Ye's location." Ming Junting said directly.

Chen Xing looked at Ming Junting, waiting for the other party's next words.

"So I came to you to borrow people. It would be rude not to reciprocate. If the other party kills my people, I will kill the senior management of the other side." Ming Junting said lightly.

"Lord Ming, there are traitors among the Gray Foxes. Does that mean my mercenary group is clean?" Chen Xing shook his head.

Although these more than 500 people were all former members of the city guards summoned by Gu Yuzhi.

However, these retired city guards have not been in the army for a few years at the shortest and for decades at the longest.

Who knows if they are clean or not.

It’s just that it’s convenient to use now, so Chen Xing just uses it accordingly.

"I don't want to borrow from those people below me. I want to borrow from the masters."

Chen Xing was stunned and cupped his hands, "We are just a makeshift team, how can we have any experts here?"

“There’s someone sitting in front of me.”

Chen Xing shook his head repeatedly, "I can't take that title."

Ming Junting continued: "Besides you, there is another one, Qin Zhou."

Qin Zhou, this name seems a little unfamiliar. After thinking about it, Chen Xing quickly locked onto a person. If he were to say that the person around him who was most likely to be called Qin Zhou, it should be Qin Bo who was beside Zhao Guangming.

"Qin Bo is Brother Zhao's man, I can't make the decision."

Ming Junting said: "I won't let you help me in vain. All the spoils of this trip will belong to you. I only want their lives."

Chen Xing was stunned. "All the spoils?"

"all."

"Besides me and Qin Bo, who else is there?"

Ming Junting's eyes flashed with admiration, "I will also borrow one person from the Heart of Resistance, but don't worry, I will give that person other rewards, so the spoils of this trip will still belong to you."

Chen Xing's eyes flickered. He heard that the person who killed Liu Ye was a person of high rank. The wealth of a person of high rank was indeed very lucrative.

If there is any rare secret treasure in the storage accessories like Chi Wu, it would be even more joyful.

After all, the world is so big, and you are not the only one who has the opportunity.

"Lord Ming, if the enemy is at a high position, I might have difficulty escaping." Chen Xing answered "honestly".

"You don't need to deal with the high-level transcendents. You just need to help me hold back the other transcendents below the high level."

Now that he had said that, Chen Xing thought for a moment and said, "I need to ask for Uncle Qin's opinion."

Qin Zhou is not his man, but Brother Zhao's man. Whether to take action or not depends on Brother Zhao's own opinion.

"Qin Bo will go."

Zhao Guangming's voice came from outside the door. He pushed the door open and was followed by Qin Zhou and Qin Xuan. The two seemed to know each other and were talking in a low voice.

After coming in, Zhao Guangming said to Chen Xing: "Brother Xuan just told me that there is no problem with this matter."

Brother Xuan?

Chen Xing looked at Qin Xuan behind him, it seemed that Qin Xuan and Zhao Guangming knew each other.

Seeing the similarities between Qin Xuan and Qin Zhou, Chen Xing began to understand a little.
