Chapter 1417 Nowhere to Go
"What did King Xifeng say?"
Qu Jing's face darkened and he asked the commander. 520 official website
"Xifeng King said there was not enough time.
By the time his reinforcements arrive, our army will be wiped out.
Moreover, when he sends troops to fight, he has no geographical advantage. If the number is small, it will not work at all! "
The commander replied.
"Well, I understand! Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest!"
Qu Jing sent the commander off to rest.
"Your Majesty, although King Xifeng's analysis is correct, it seems a little unjust!"
Wen Chenggang said first.
"Maybe he is really in trouble!"
Qu Jing sighed.
Ye Liuyun suddenly felt that this Xifeng King might not be as good as Qu Jing said.
If it is truly a life-and-death friendship, no matter what, we should do our best to reinforce it.
"It seems that when Qu Jing led his troops here, he really had nowhere to go! I'm afraid only the terrain there can withstand the empire's attack!"
He thought to himself.
Originally, he planned to send Qu Jing and others to Luanfeng River, while he went to look for resources nearby.
Now it seems that I have to follow Qu Jing and the others to have a look, and then leave after they have settled down.
"What difficulty! I think he has forgotten that you saved his life in the first place!"
Wen Chenggang complained dissatisfiedly.
"What happened in the past, why mention him? Now we are leading the army to escape.
From now on, you should say less words like this! "
Qu Jing ordered Wen Chenggang.
Wen Chenggang sighed and said no more words, but his expression was obviously very dissatisfied.
Qu Jing looked at Ye Liuyun and smiled awkwardly.
Ye Liuyun also saw his helplessness and said nothing.
He doesn't understand the character of King Xifeng, let alone make an evaluation.
After a while, he asked Qu Jing: "What kind of terrain is there at Xifeng King's place that allows him to block the empire's attack?
How do they get resources there? "
Qu Jing also patiently explained to Ye Liuyun.
"The Luanfeng River is dozens of miles wide, and there is a strong wind on the river.
It can only be passed by relying on battleships.
Martial arts cultivators in the realm of Earth Master can fly across the river, but the army cannot cross.
King Xifeng, on the other hand, arranged many devices beside the river bank to bombard the warships.
So based on this alone, it would be very difficult for the empire to cross the river.
Moreover, there is a mountainous area on the other side of the river. King Xifeng has laid a large number of traps in the mountains and forests.
So if you want to attack King Xifeng, you won't be able to defeat him without several times the number of troops.
It's not that the empire can't fight, it just doesn't want to waste its troops! "
Qu Jing paused and then began to introduce the resources of King Xifeng's territory to Ye Liuyun.
“The final line of the West Phoenix King’s territory is a cone-shaped mountain peak.
Its three ridges are three spirit stone veins.
Stretching for dozens of miles.
However, he cannot mine most of the mineral veins.
Because the central area of the spirit stone vein is surrounded by a punch of magic crystal and fire crystal veins.
Therefore, the spirit stone veins he could mine were only a small part of the three ridges extending out.
But those are enough for the expenses of his army! "
When Ye Liuyun heard this, his heart moved.
"Magic crystals, fire crystal veins, and most of the three spirit stone veins... these resources are really rich!"
He immediately decided to explore here and didn't want to leave for the time being.
This is the first and largest mineral vein resource he has discovered since arriving here.
Dozens of miles of spiritual stone veins, surrounded by a circle of magic crystal and fire crystal veins!
He has never seen such a large mineral vein before!
After finally encountering such a resource, how could he be willing to leave.
Along the way, he also discovered several smaller mineral veins, but he never took action.
Those mineral veins were so barren that he couldn't bear to start with them, so he might as well leave them to the locals for cultivation.
However, he did not express his thoughts.
He planned to go in, then leave quietly and explore quietly.
In this way, even if he makes a big noise, no one will know it was him!
A day or two later, the battleship came to a fast-flowing river.
At this end of the river, there is a warship docked on the shore.
A man dressed as a commander, with two groups of soldiers, greeted Qu Jing here.
"Prince Qu, I have been ordered by King Xifeng to wait here for the big fight!"
The commander greeted Qu Jing and the others from a distance.
"Thank you for your help, Commander!"
Qu Jing was polite to him briefly.
"This Xifeng King, it seems he really doesn't consider Qu Jing a friend anymore.
Not only did they not go to provide reinforcements, they didn’t even come to greet them personally! "
Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
"Prince Qu, there's no need to be polite.
I'll show you the way this time.
Please also arrange for your commanders to organize the warships into a team and follow my route.
I know a path with the least wind and waves, which will make it easier for everyone to cross the river! "
The commander said to Qu Jing again.
"good!"
Qu Jing nodded and immediately asked Wen Chenggang to arrange the marching order of the warships and let them cross the river one by one as required.
Then, the commander's battleship also began to move, leading them from the front.
The main ship where Ye Liuyun and Qu Jing were located took the lead and followed the battleship.
After they reached the other side, the soldiers disembarked.
The commander went to inform King Xifeng.
Ye Liuyun also took stock of the environment here.
The temperature here is much higher than other places.
When they got off the battleship, they all felt that it was very hot here.
Ye Liuyun let go of his consciousness and discovered that it was because there were fire crystals nearby, so the temperature seemed relatively high.
It can be seen that if it is close to the fire crystal vein, the temperature should be higher.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "I have found a good resource!"
Within the scope covered by his spiritual consciousness, he was clearing away the mountains everywhere.
Many buildings are built against mountains.
There are also many trebuchets similar to those used for sieges on the shore, probably used to attack warships crossing the water.
Ye Liuyun has long discovered that the warships in this world have no attack function, and their defense is also much weaker.
He also has two battleships he brought with him.
It is estimated that if he takes it out, they can treat it as a treasure.
However, this kind of thing is too rare and will arouse others' suspicion. Ye Liuyun will not use it easily.
Qujing's army stood in formation for a long time before King Xifeng arrived belatedly.
A bearded man, surrounded by several commanders, laughed and greeted Qu Jing from a distance!
"Haha, Lord Qu, it's been a long time since I saw you, you still look like you! Even the empire's 400,000-strong army can't do anything to you!"
Ye Liuyun also looked at the Xifeng King and found that he was just a martial arts cultivator at the third level of creation.
"The princes here are really strange, and they are not very high-level!"
Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
Qu Jing also quickly went over to greet him.
"I'm really desperate, and I've turned to you, my brother! I've caused you trouble!"
Qu Jing's posture was very low.
