The Secret of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 734 Borrowing Troops

Xie Pengtao couldn't help but look gloomy as he looked at the Youliang army that was retreating again.

Since he came to the front line, he has seen the battle between Youliang Kingdom and Xuanjian Sect with more defeats and fewer wins.

Xie Pengtao is the general of Youliang Kingdom and a master of the fifth level of Tiangang Realm. His strength in Youliang Kingdom is second only to that of King Youxi of Youliang Kingdom, and he is the second master of Youliang Kingdom.

Half a month ago, the army of Youliang Kingdom, which had almost won the victory, was suddenly defeated by Xuanjian Sect, and suffered a terrible defeat in that battle.

Under this situation, Xie Pengtao had no choice but to go to the front line and personally command the battle.

In this half month, Xie Pengtao mobilized almost all the troops of Youliang Kingdom to the border with Songtao Kingdom. In this battle, Youliang Kingdom invested almost all its strength, so that Mingda and Riyuezhai The border defense of the kingdom was handed over to other dependent countries of the Blood Shadow Alliance.

But even so, Youliang Kingdom was still at a disadvantage in the battle with the Xuanjian Sect army, and it was difficult to win even one of the ten wars.

Moreover, the occasional victory seemed to be a deliberate attempt by the Xuanjian Sect army to let Xie Pengtao off, which made Xie Pengtao feel extremely shameful and humiliating.

He just couldn't understand why the Xuanjian Sect's army suddenly increased so much in strength when it was almost impossible to fight back at the hands of Youliang Kingdom in the past few months.

Although he received a report from his subordinates that it was the sudden appearance of another Chu Jianqiu in Xuanjian Sect that greatly increased the strength of Xuanjian Sect.

But Xie Pengtao didn't believe this statement. How could one person have such a huge influence on a large army, and this person was only a warrior at the eighth level of the Yuan Dan Realm.

As for the dozens of Tiangang-level puppets that those defeated subordinates said appeared on the battlefield, Xie Pengtao was even more unconvinced because he had not seen a single Tiangang-level puppet at all in the past half month on the battlefield.

Xie Pengtao now very much doubted whether those people had lied about their military exploits before. It was originally a defeat, but they reported them based on their victory.

It was only now that the situation was completely out of control that the truth was reported.

However, although Xie Pengtao was suspicious, now was not the time to investigate the faults of those generals. The most important thing now was how to win this battle.

Xie Pengtao is now very conflicted about whether he should truthfully report the current battle situation.

If you conceal it and don't report it, the army of Youliang Kingdom will really not be able to defeat Xuanjian Sect.

Now that the war situation is corrupt, continuing to fight will only put Youliang Kingdom into an increasingly difficult situation.

But if the report is made truthfully, Xie Pengtao's position as general may not be guaranteed.

Once the top brass of the Blood Shadow Alliance are alerted, even Youxi, the king of Youliang Kingdom, will not be able to retain his position.

With the Blood Shadow Alliance's strict reward and punishment system, both Xie Pengtao and King Youxi will be held accountable. It would be a minor matter to be removed from their positions, but it would be terrible if they were demoted to hard labor.

Once relegated to hard labor, they are basically destined to become cannon fodder on the battlefield. This is the most severe punishment in the Blood Shadow Alliance besides the death penalty.

After careful consideration, Xie Pengtao decided not to report the fighting situation here for the time being, but to borrow troops from the neighboring Chibao Kingdom.

The Red Leopard Kingdom is also a superior vassal state of the Blood Shadow Alliance, but its strength is far inferior to that of Youliang Kingdom.

Although Youliang Kingdom is also a superior vassal state of the Blood Shadow Alliance, in

Among the high-level vassal states of the Blood Shadow Alliance, it is the lowest-ranked high-level vassal state, only slightly better than the mid-level vassal states of the Blood Shadow Alliance.

However, the Red Leopard Kingdom ranks among the top 30 among the superior vassal states of the Blood Shadow Alliance, and its strength is several times stronger than that of the Youliang Kingdom.

The number of Tiangang Realm powerhouses alone in the Red Leopard Kingdom reached fifty, and the number of elite troops reached three hundred thousand.

Xie Pengtao reported his thoughts to Youxi, the king of Youliang Kingdom, and soon Xie Pengtao got feedback from Youxi.

Youxi decided to adopt Xie Pengtao's suggestion, and also decided to go to the Red Leopard Kingdom in person to borrow troops.

After all, Youxi didn't want to be held accountable by the top brass of the Blood Shadow Alliance and lose his position as the king of Youliang Kingdom.

After Xie Pengtao received Youxi's reply, he felt a little relieved.

Next, Xie Pengtao stood still and stood firm in the border fortress. He allowed the Xuanjian Sect to provoke him but refused to fight.

After Chu Jianqiu in white received the intelligence from the border, he also guessed that Youliang Kingdom might have gone to move reinforcements, and ordered the Dark Night Battalion to inquire about relevant information and pay attention to the unusual movements in Youliang Kingdom.

Soon news came from the Dark Night Camp that Youxi, the king of Youliang Kingdom, left the Youliang Kingdom Palace and headed towards the Red Leopard Kingdom.

Dark Night Camp has gathered the most elite talents of Xuanjian Sect. Under the management of Xue Liyan and Ma Jingyao, Dark Night Camp's intelligence network has long spread over the territory of more than ten kingdoms near Songtao Kingdom.

Whether it is Youliang Kingdom and Red Leopard Kingdom of the Blood Shadow Alliance, Songtao Kingdom and Mingda Kingdom of Riyuezhai, as well as Fenghan Kingdom and Huangyan Kingdom of the Shangqing Sect, they are all covered by informants of the Dark Night Camp.

It is precisely because of this huge intelligence network that Chu Jianqiu in white can obtain the latest information as soon as possible and make judgments and actions.

However, maintaining this huge intelligence network consumes extremely huge resources. If you want to open up all the key points, you must have a lot of resources and wealth.

When Xuanjian Sect's resources were tight some time ago, this intelligence network was almost stagnant.

Now that Chu Jianqiu has brought back a large amount of wealth, this intelligence network has been reactivated.

And due to the injection of huge wealth, this intelligence network has developed more rapidly and the information has become more informed.

With accurate information, not only Chu Jianqiu in white can accurately grasp the battle situation on the front line, but the management of Xia Youhuang's Youhuang Pavilion can also seize business opportunities more accurately and quickly.

With sufficient financial support and Chu Jianqiu's intention to expand the power of Xuanjian Sect, Xue Liyan took advantage of this opportunity to expand the Dark Night Camp and build the Dark Night Camp's intelligence network even closer and larger.

With enough wealth, Xue Liyan's Dark Night Camp can even bribe powerful Tiangang realm men from enemy countries to become the informants of the Dark Night Camp. After all, even the warriors in the Blood Shadow Alliance can't resist the temptation of huge wealth.

Sometimes a fifth-level magic weapon or a fifth-level elixir is enough to bribe a Tiangang realm expert.

It is precisely because the intelligence network of the Dark Night Battalion is so developed that the Dark Night Battalion can easily grasp the trends of the enemy country.

Otherwise, how could Youxi's departure from Youliang Kingdom be such a confidential matter? If the Dark Night Battalion had not bribed the powerful people at the top of Youliang Kingdom, how could it have been possible to obtain such important intelligence information so easily.

Chu Jianqiu in white is naturally extremely satisfied with the current intelligence capabilities of the Dark Night Camp.
