Chapter 122
To deal with such people, Su Wen always likes to win people over with virtue.
Directly suppress them with force!
If you don't obey, just kill you and return to the real world. There is no such trouble!
The result of this is that the number of professionals has dropped sharply. In the end, Su Wen only subdued less than 70 people.
Many of them have seen Su Wen's crazy slaughter here, and they dare not resist, for fear of being kicked out of the secret realm.
After all, it is not easy to come here, and no one wants to go back empty-handed.
After Su Wen told them the pros and cons of the matter, the professionals calmed down and began to gather together, waiting for the arrival of the imperial army.
...
Another day passed.
The intensity of the rebel patrols has increased significantly, but the frequency of encountering professionals has decreased by more than one level.
This made them feel a little relieved. Maybe it was just an accident before?
When these knights completed the patrol mission around the territory and were about to return to the valley, they heard a slight sound of horse hooves in the distance.
A hint of doubt appeared on their faces.
Could it be that a knight went to patrol the periphery?
Before they could react, they heard more dense and heavy horse hoof sounds echoing through the woods!
Upon closer inspection, a flag was flying, with a unique imperial symbol on it shining brightly, emitting a mysterious power that aroused people's fighting spirit.
The patrol knight turned pale when he saw this, and rode his horse towards the valley without saying a word.
He returned to the leader's tent and reported the situation to the tall and strong man sitting in the main seat.
"It's bad, leader, the Imperial... The Imperial military has found us, just outside the valley!"
The knight was panicked and stuttered, "My men estimate that the Empire has sent at least 1,500 troops to encircle and suppress us, leader, what should we do?"
"What? The Empire is here?"
"Why is it so fast? Even if there are spies among the little bugs that appeared in the past two days, why did the army come so quickly?"
"Impossible, there must be something we don't know about, let's check it out!"
...
As soon as the knight finished speaking, there was an uproar in the big tent.
Many civil officials and military generals were all boiling, roaring in panic and anger.
But some people had calm faces, just frowned, and looked at the leader of the stronghold on the main seat.
The leader was also a little helpless. He didn't expect the military to find this place so quickly. He thought it could be delayed for a few days, but it seems unlikely.
But he didn't panic too much.
If they were unprepared and without any trump cards, they would have left long before the professionals came to patrol in large numbers.
What he didn't expect was that the imperial army would come so coincidentally.
Just one day!
The leader stroked a huge scale placed on the table. Its overall shape was diamond-shaped, and its slightly twisted outline made it look more beautiful than ordinary scales.
It was printed with mysterious and complex patterns, and when the palm was brushed over, it could also light up with a weak fluorescence, as if it was a living scale.
While the high-level people in the base below were still arguing, the leader stood up, took the scale in his hand, and walked out of the big tent first.
Seeing this, everyone stopped arguing and followed.
The leader stopped only when he came to a calm and deep lake.
This was the same round lake as the one at the entrance of the valley. The only difference was that red blood could be vaguely seen in the lake water.
There were also some corpses and remains left by unknown monsters.
These are the corpses of monsters in the outer dark forest. He fed the monsters into the lake just to help the leader's black-scaled dragon complete its evolution.
By then, let alone the small imperial army, even if a stronger one came, they would have the confidence to fight back.
"Unfortunately... the time is still a little late!"
The leader sighed and threw the huge scale in his hand into the lake. A black shadow flashed at the bottom of the lake, and the scale sank at a very fast speed and was sucked to the bottom of the lake by the black shadow.
Seeing this, the leader just stared at the lake calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until there was a clear shouting outside the valley, he turned back and gave orders to the high-level of the stronghold.
"Order all soldiers to fight with me. If you want to survive, you must set the battlefield at the mouth of the valley. Do you understand?!"
...
And the imperial army.
Originally arrived near the [Black Scale Valley] at noon, but because they could not contact the grain officer for a long time, they slowed down their speed.
The grain officer probably encountered something unexpected.
The choice left for them was the same as Xu Lingyun had predicted before.
Only by completely eliminating this group of rebels in one go can the clearing mission be completed this time!
The leader of the vanguard army, Zhao Jiajun, looked at the rebel soldiers who had gathered at the entrance of the valley, and a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
The vanguard army he brought with him had a complete range of arms, a total of more than 2,000 people!
What can those miscellaneous soldiers on the opposite side do?How can we fight him?
Zhao Jiajun took out a longbow from his back, took out a special bow and arrow, and the mana surged, and the strong fire element began to attach to it.
Whoosh!
The bow and arrow cut through the sky and pierced directly into the rebels. Then, with a bang, an explosion sounded, blowing all the surrounding soldiers back and blood splattered.
"Charge!"
As the leader, Zhao Jiajun took the lead in riding forward. His level of Lv38 made him exude a terrifying aura fluctuation all over his body, which made the rebel soldiers dare not move forward.
The knights, warriors, mages, archers and other professionals in the back released their skills.
The valley, which was originally quite quiet, suddenly exploded!
The two sides quickly mixed together, and the sound of chopping and killing came one after another, and the scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Su Wen and others who were hiding in the dark saw that the war had started, so they called everyone to head towards the valley.
He shouted loudly: "This time we have to cooperate with the imperial army to wipe out the rebels. We must take them down quickly!"
"Let me say one more thing. We will form a team for this operation. We don't force each other to cooperate. We will help if we can. If we can't help, it's our bad luck!"
"That's it! Charge!"
Su Wen's men also began to move towards the center of the battlefield.
But he was a little smart. During the charge, he put on the [Deception Suit] and disappeared from the crowd.
Meet up with Ji Hao and the other four!
They had tasted the sweetness of the grain officer once, so they naturally wanted to make another fortune.
Several people left the battle circle, climbed to the top from the far side of the valley, and headed towards the rebel stronghold.
Ji Hao's face was full of excitement, and his hands were rubbing back and forth like the most annoying creature in the world!
He kept muttering about equipment, materials, gems, etc.
Seeing Ji Hao's useless look, Lu Mingcheng sneered. This fool, it's like he has never seen anything good in his life!
He is different...
Lu Mingcheng wiped the tears from the corners of his mouth and looked at the deserted rebel stronghold below, as if it was not an enemy camp, but a gold mine full of treasures!
His throat rolled uncontrollably.
"How...how...how do we go down?" He stuttered, but his eyes were still bright.
