Chapter 83: Reinforcements

Commander Mansion.

In the study.

“Xu Ning, what an extraordinary talent…”

Qu Dayou sat down and sighed.

Sitting near him was his superior, Wei Changqing.

Wei Changqing and Qu Dayou went to inspect Guan Qingwu’s corpse.

Although Guan Qingwu’s identity couldn’t be determined, they were certain that Guan Qingwu must be an important figure of the Shadowblood Sect.

That was because he was in the internal qi realm.

And such a master was easily defeated by Xu Ning.

Although it was a pity that he ingested poison and committed suicide in the end, Wei Changqing and Qu Dayou were shocked by Xu Ning’s combat talent.

“This kid is really amazing.”

Even though he was born in Yunying City, Wei Changqing still felt that Xu Ning’s talent was impressive.

Even in the Source Faction, his performance was considered superb.

He might not be better than Wen Renjin’s subordinates, but if he entered the Source Faction and was intensively trained, he would definitely become a leader in State Feiyun in the future.

“When the reinforcements arrive and the dispute with the Shadowblood Sect ends, I will take Xu Ning to Yunying City and recommend him to enter the Source Faction.”

Wei Changqing instantly made the decision.

He believed that Xu Ning’s talents must be cultivated as soon as possible. His talents must not be wasted.

“Hmm…”

Qu Dayou nodded.

He also knew well that it was impossible for a person like Xu Ning to stay in Kangyun County forever.

…

Dingyun County.

Rebel base camp.

“Master Wu, Guan Qingwu has stopped reporting.”

Inside the camp, a rebel officer wearing a suit of black armor with three blood scratches on his chest spoke to a skinny man in black robes.

“Stopped reporting?”

After hearing this, the black robe man identified as Master Wu asked, “Why did he stop reporting?”

“I don’t know the situation yet…” The rebel officer looked serious, but he spoke in an uncertain tone, “Guan Qingwu has always been cautious and reliable in doing things. I suspect that such a disconnection…”

“Do you suspect he is dead?”

Master Wu was sitting on an animal leather chair.

“Yes, it’s very likely.”

The rebel officer responded truthfully.

Master Wu began to think, but he didn’t speak.

There was a sense of doom in the room.

The rebel officer felt uncomfortable.

Wu Hexing was a member of the Shadowblood Sect in State Hurricane.

However, he was only in the mortal realm ninth stage. He was not a big figure in the Shadowblood Sect.

However, he was the real mastermind of the rebellion in Dingyun County and Qiuyun County.

The leader of the rebel army was originally the Captain of the Black Armored Guards in Dingyun County, but after being convinced by Wu Hexing, he slid into the abyss of the Shadowblood Sect step by step, and finally had to cooperate with Wu Hexing to launch the rebellion.

“The reinforcements from Yunying City will soon arrive. By then, the two sides will probably be in a stalemate…”

Wu Hexing muttered, as if talking to himself.

“Wait for the news. If there is no news about Guan Qingwu in two days, we will send troops to attack Kangyun County.”

Suddenly, Wu Hexing made a decision.

“But…”

The rebel officer wanted to say something else.

“No buts.”

A stern look flashed in Wu Hexing’s eyes.

“Yes sir.”

The rebel officer responded.

…

A few days later.

Xu Ning was still on duty at the guard station, before Feng Sigua suddenly broke into his study.

“Master, there is an urgent letter from the Commander Mansion!”

Feng Sigua quickly handed over the letter to Xu Ning.

The security guard who was in charge of the mansion came over and left a letter in hurry, before hurrying away.

Xu Ning took it, opened it quickly, and glanced at it.

“The rebels have sent troops over!”

Xu Ning instantly realized that the situation was serious.

According to a report from a soldier near Qiuyun County, the rebel soldiers had moved out of Qiuyun County and were heading towards Kangyun County.

“Send all the city guards to maintain law and order in Maple Lane.”

The guard station didn’t need to participate in the war, but they had to maintain internal stability.

“Yes, my lord!”

Feng Sigua quickly took his orders.

‘I hope we can resist the assault…’

Xu Ning was ready for combat.

Kangyun County was at a disadvantage. If the damage was serious, then these people would be gradually added to the combat team.

…

Above the city gates, Wei Changqing was holding a long sword.

The rebels had gradually arrived.

Outside the city gate, fortifications had been laid out.

Inside the city gates, the Black Armored Guards and the city guards were all ready for battle.

A battle was about to begin.

“Commander, everything is ready.”

Ning Fengwen, Xia Yuanxing, and Qu Dayou were next to Wei Changqing.

In fact, these three people admired Wei Changqing.

They all knew that Wei Changqing came from a big family and took on the commander position to relax.

But right now, Kangyun County was facing a real crisis, but Wei Changqing not only did not escape, he also took the lead.

“Our chance of winning is not small, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

Wei Changqing explained, “I am in the mortal realm ninth stage. Although I can’t defeat a thousand enemies, I can cooperate with the guards of my Wei family and assist the Black Armored Guards to form a formation to defeat the opponent’s core.”

Although it was impossible for a mortal realm warrior to fight a battle against thousands or tens of thousands of people, if there were powerful warriors assisting them, they could still play an impactful role.

“They’re here.”

The rebels had already launched the first wave of the invasion.

…

Three days went by.

The war between the rebels and the defenders still continued on.

Over the past three days, the rebels had launched five sieges, but there was no real progress.

They even launched a battle formation centered on mortal realm eighth stage warriors, but it was defeated by a defensive formation consisting of six Wei family guards.

Wei Changqing had to admit that the family guards brought by his nephew and niece played a huge role in this relatively small battle.

Wei Changqing was glad that Kangyun County was not completely infiltrated by the Shadowblood Sect, like Qiuyun County and Dingyun County.

At this point, Wei Changqing was grateful to Xu Ning.

When the Magic Faction warriors were exposed, Xu Ning had repeatedly achieved amazing feats and made breakthroughs one by one.

Xu Ning even captured an internal qi realm Shadowblood Sect warrior.

Although he could not obtain any substantial information in the end, a warrior of this level must also be an important part of the enemy’s assault on Kangyun County.

“Master.”

The three captains reported, “The rebels might be planning to launch a large-scale assault. It looks like a desperate move.”

“What’s the situation?”

Wei Changqing asked.

“They have all assembled and arranged into a formation.”

Xia Yuanxing said, “It seems to be a general assault.”

When Wei Changqing heard the words, he stood up.

A moment of realization flashed in his eyes. “All members have assembled? It seems that they know that reinforcements are coming.”

Although this was a challenge, it was also good news.

If they could resist this assault, there was a high chance the enemy would retreat.

“I’m going to personally fight.”

Wei Changqing’s tone was full of determination. “This time, I will be the core of the formation. We will now launch a decisive battle!”

“Sir!”

A guard suddenly came.

“Master, there is news about the reinforcements!”

The words of the guards shocked Wei Changqing and the three captains present.

“What news?”

Qu Dayou quickly asked.

The city guard said immediately, “Reinforcements are coming! Within half a day, they will be able to reach the county city!”

“Good!”

Wei Changqing suddenly laughed.

Wei Changqing sent people to wait for a response from the reinforcements, and finally he received some news today.

“They came half a month earlier than expected!”

Wei Changqing didn’t expect the reinforcements to be this fast.

“They are probably elite soldiers.”

Wei Changqing said.

Only elite soldiers could arrive so quickly.

“Reinforcement came at the right time!”

Wei Changqing sat at the desk with a pen. After writing a letter, he handed it to the guard.

“Send the fastest soldier and deliver this to the reinforcements!”

Wei Changqing ordered.

“Yes!”

The guard also knew that they were in a hurry, so he moved quickly.

“Master, what are your plans?”

Qu Dayou asked.

“I have stated in the letter that the reinforcements should control their time of arrival.”

Wei Changqing saw that the three men were confused, he then added, “After the enemy invades with their full forces, I will be the core of the formation to launch a defense maneuver. And in the right moment, the reinforcements will rush to attack and defeat them in one swoop!”
