chapter 16 Ambush while marching

Hernando looked around and found that there were about two hundred disciples sent by the sect this time.

"Two hundred disciples, three thousand Iron Sword Army, it seems there is a tough battle to fight this time."Hernando thought to himself.

Hernando naturally understood that since the Iron Sword Sect has dispatched so many men, other sects and families should also dispatch this number, and the City Lord's Palace will have even more. When the nine forces unite, there will be tens of thousands of troops and thousands of soldiers. The disciples of the sect are considered to be large-scale for a force at the level of Black Source City, and in Hernando's impression, he has never encountered a war of this scale since he entered the Iron Sword Sect.

"It seems that I have to be careful this time. Although I have cultivated to the point where I can condense energy into a soldier, on a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, my personal power is too weak. A hail of arrows from the other party will probably turn me into a hedgehog. ."Hernando thought to himself.

"Hernando, you are here too." At this time, Crispin quickly walked over and stood directly in front of Hernando.

"Are you going to the battlefield too?"Hernando looked at Ye Tian and asked in a serious voice. Crispin was only in the state of condensing internal organs and could not even connect all the meridians. Among the disciples present, he could barely be considered to be of average strength. He was unlucky to enter the battlefield. If you don't tell me, you'll die.

"Haha, I have no choice. I don't want to go, but the sect has given an order, and I can't resist. Otherwise, I will rebel against the sect and be directly executed."Crispin said with a bitter smile.

"However, luckily I have you to protect me this time. Your cultivation level has greatly increased now. My life and death will depend on you on the battlefield."Crispin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will protect your safety."Hernando nodded. Crispin was his only friend in Iron Sword Sect, so naturally he couldn't watch the other person die.

"These three people?"Crispin looked curiously at the three fellow students kneeling on the ground.

"It was me who took action."Hernando said calmly.

"Yeah, they are all from Elder Kimberley side. You are clearly making Elder Kimberley look bad by doing this. You must know that Elder Kimberley is a person who has been formed by refining Qi. He will definitely cause trouble for you in the future."Crispin said with some worry.

"Is it formed by refining the energy? Humph."Hernando sneered, thinking that if there was a fight, it would be hard to see who would die.

Everyone watched for a while, and finally someone came out, came to the three people kneeling on the ground, and started to rescue them. This person was also in the realm of all-in-one channels. He worked hard for a while, without any effect, and he was sweating profusely. Extremely embarrassing.

"Did I read it wrong? The fellow sect just now is in the realm of having access to hundreds of meridians. Why can't he lift the ban on the three of them? Isn't it possible that Hernando is a master of the Gang Qi realm?"

"It's possible."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's just because of his miraculous skills. Hernando has become so popular when he has some strength. He offended Elder Kimberley today, and I'm afraid he won't have an easy time in the future."

"That's right, that's right. In this expedition, someone can kill him by using some tricks secretly. Hmm, I thought I had some strength, but I don't know how high the sky is."

Listening to the comments of the people around him, Hernando also sneered in his heart. Although he calmed some people down by doing this, it could not shake people's hearts. Most of the people who mocked him were those who had bullied him in the past. There were none who really disliked him. A few people, no matter where they go in the cultivation world, strength is the most respected thing. What they did today is not too much. If they are not strong enough, then they may be the ones kneeling on the ground.

Then several more people tried to rescue him, but all of them were unsuccessful. They all felt extremely embarrassed. Seeing this scene, some of his fellow disciples with advanced cultivation levels finally began to express their gratitude to Hernando.

"Hmph, you are already in the realm of having all the connections, yet you actually want to break through my restrictions."Hernando sneered in his heart.

"Elder brother is here."

"It is indeed the senior brother. I wonder if the senior brother will take action. I heard that the senior brother has a bad impression of Hernando."

"If Senior Brother takes action, there will definitely be no problem."

"That's of course. Senior Brother has reached the stage of refining Qi and forming it, so he can naturally access the restrictions in their bodies."

As soon as Hernando looked up, he saw Abdu Nash striding into the martial arts arena surrounded by a group of fellow disciples. He looked at the three people kneeling on the ground, asked in a low voice, then strode over, and at the same time glanced at Hernando..

"Please help me, Senior Brother."

The three people kneeling on the ground shouted at the same time, with a look of hope in their eyes.

Abdu Nash came to the three of them, and without saying a word, he waved his hand and shot out three lines of true energy, which disappeared into the bodies of the three of them.

Bang bang bang!

There was a soft sound, and the three of them regained their freedom and immediately jumped up. They all looked at Hernando fiercely, their faces turned red, but they did not dare to step forward and take action.

"Please seek justice, Senior Brother," one of them said loudly.

"Hernando, come here."Abdu Nash shouted to Hernando, with an expression that did not seem to take Hernando into consideration at all.

"If you want to talk to me, come to me."Hernando said calmly without moving.

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples in the martial arts field were shocked. They didn't expect that Hernando would dare to talk to the senior brother like this. You must know that Abdu Nash's prestige in Iron Sword Sect has exceeded that of some elders. None of these young disciples dared to resist this The eldest brother of Iron Sword Sect.

"Hernando." Even Crispin looked at Hernando worriedly.

"Presumptuous." Before Abdu Nash could speak, several people behind him started shouting, and two of them even strode forward, wanting to capture Hernando.

"Senior Brother, watch me take down this arrogant person."

"Wait a minute."

Abdu Nash stopped the two people. These two people were in the realm of being connected with all the pulses. None of the three people just now were Hernando's opponents. These two people were also humiliating themselves.

"Okay, okay, you are indeed bold. Now that you have some strength, I don't even care about you. But today I won't argue with you for the time being. If you can survive this war, come back and be arrogant in front of me."Abdu Nash said lightly, looking at Hernando as if he were looking at a dead person.

This time Abdu Nash also went on the expedition, which was somewhat beyond Hernando's expectation. Anyway, Abdu Nash was also the number one member of the younger generation of the Iron Sword Sect. If he died on the battlefield, it would be a huge loss to the Iron Sword Sect. . However, Hernando didn't think much about it, because two elders appeared next and began to organize the team. Then rows of horses were led out, mounted in formation, and drove out of the Iron Sword Gate in a mighty manner.

"Elder Kimberley is leading the team this time, Hernando, you have to be careful."Crispin whispered beside Hernando.

"Don't worry, with so many people, he can still do it."Hernando said lightly.

The three thousand Iron Sword Army rode on war horses in an orderly formation with rigorous steps. Apart from the sound of orderly progress, there was no noise at all. On the contrary, the two hundred Iron Sword Sect disciples had no formation at all and were scattered, even more so. From time to time someone burst out laughing.

Hernando stared straight ahead and did not look around, but he still felt several eyes sweeping towards him, some of which were full of murderous intent, murderous intent that could not be unleashed.

"Hmph, you have murderous intentions against me. It depends on who kills whom next."Hernando sneered in his heart, but he was also concentrating on it, holding a long sword in his hand, always prepared for emergencies.

Except that the Black Source City army did not stop and kept marching eastward. At the speed of the army, galloping on horseback, it could advance three hundred miles a day. It would take half a month to reach the battlefield at this speed. This means that the territory commanded by Black Source City is thousands of miles in radius.

After marching for ten days, the army went smoothly and safely. On this day, the army was ambushed while resting in a plain area.

Boom! Boom!

Bursts of explosions suddenly erupted from the ground, with flames rising into the sky and smoke everywhere. At the same time, countless hidden weapons shot out in all directions, making the sound of cutting armored flesh.

The advancing Iron Sword Army suddenly fell on their backs, and dozens of soldiers died in an instant.

"It's a thunderbolt bead. Don't panic, everyone, hold your breath and form a formation." The three commanders of the Iron Sword Army shouted one after another.

These three Iron Sword Army commanders all had the ability to condense their energy into soldiers. Each one exhaled and spoke out, immediately suppressing the panic. The Iron Sword Army was well-trained, and after the brief chaos, they immediately formed a defensive formation, wide and wide. The iron swords were unsheathed one after another, the strong bows were drawn, and the sharp arrows were unstringed.

Bang bang bang!

The ground a hundred meters away suddenly exploded, and men in black jumped out like ghosts, all holding powerful crossbows in their hands.

Swish swish swish!

Powerful sharp arrows rained down at the Iron Sword Army, and suddenly more than a dozen people from the Iron Sword Army fell off their horses and died.

"Archers, prepare, shoot." The commander of the Iron Sword Army issued the order, and the five hundred archers immediately shot powerful arrows.

These archers are not ordinary people. They all have the strength to breed true energy at least. They all have hard bows of 200 kilograms in their hands and can shoot a distance of 300 meters.

With just two rounds of volleys, all the men in black in front were shot into hedgehogs, and their blood stained the ground red.

Then twenty Iron Sword Sect disciples dismounted and quickly ran forward to investigate the situation, while the Iron Sword Army silently cleaned the battlefield.

"I didn't notice any danger just now. There was a hail of crossbows and arrows. What would happen if I faced them head on?"Hernando felt a little excited. Although I didn't face the attack directly just now, I still felt the difference between the battlefield and fighting alone.

Soon the twenty disciples returned safely. All the spies sent by the Iron Sword Army were killed by the other side. Some of the other side's personnel escaped, but the exact number is unknown. Twenty men in black were killed on the spot, and the Iron Sword Army suffered fifty-six casualties.

After hearing the battle report, everyone looked unhappy, especially the two elders and the three commanders. They were attacked without even leaving the territory of Black Source City, and there were a lot of casualties. This was not a good sign.

"The other party actually placed thunderbolt beads on the road. The smoke emitted is also highly toxic. I wonder if the people from Jinshi City are lurking in."

"Next, it will be replaced by the disciples in the sect to act as spies, and the spies of the Iron Sword Army will be withdrawn."

"Okay, ten of you will go out and explore the road ahead."Elder Kimberley pointed at ten disciples of the Iron Sword Sect, among whom Hernando and Crispin happened to be included.

"Sure enough, they are starting to plot against me."Hernando sneered in his heart, but did not say anything. If he said more at this time, he would find an excuse for the other party, and then kill him in public.
