There was a total of thirty thousand soldiers stationed here. The terrain around the base was complicated, and as they neared the camp, it was very spacious.
Chu Chen secretly nodded: "The person who arranged all of this, is very smart."
This place was a complicated terrain, and it was used to protect against dangers that might occur at any time. Once the Shu Dragon Country army arrived, they could quickly occupy the highest point to counterattack.
The area around the campsite was wide for better observation. Even if a wild beast were to charge in, it would be discovered and killed immediately.
When Chu Chen and the rest arrived and presented the relevant evidence, the army let them through.
In advance, Yan Wushang had already sent people here to inform him in advance, which was why they were able to successfully pass through.
At the camp headquarters, when Xiao Kuang saw Chu Chen, the fighting intent in his eyes suddenly shot out.
Chu Chen!
This name had been pressing down on his heart for a whole year and a half.
A year and a half ago, in the Royal Capital, the two of them carried out a cauldron battle. The other party brought up the nine cauldrons and defeated him ruthlessly. This humiliation was then buried in his heart.
Xiao Kuang swore to himself that sooner or later, they would face each other in battle, or else he would not be able to take this lying down.
Over at the Imperial City, there was a piece of news a few days ago, saying that all the young experts whom Yan Yuexi had roped in with were already there and would arrive in the next two days. However, he did not say who the specific people were, thus he did not know that Chu Chen was also present.
Chu Chen, having appeared in front of him so suddenly, Xiao Kuang's train of thoughts went berserk, it was hard to calm down, he directly stepped out.
"I know I wasn't convinced when I defeated you, but now I don't have the time to fight with you." Chu Chen said coldly, his eyes looking straight at Xiao Kuang.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Kuang stopped in his tracks, his expression cold.
"Yan Yuexi was taken." Chu Chen said coldly.
"What?" Xiao Kuang was shocked.
"The princess has been captured. Who did it?"
"Shu Dragon Country."
Hearing that, Xiao Kuang's body shook, and his head started to feel dizzy.
The princess was captured, and it was even by someone from the Shu Dragon Country. This was too serious.
When he thought about the consequences, Xiao Kuang's heart immediately froze and he retreated toward Chu Chen's fighting intent. In his heart, Yan Yuexi was absolutely more important than him defeating Chu Chen.
"Chu Chen, there will ultimately be a fight between us. It's just as you said now, there's no time right now. But with time, this battle cannot be avoided. "
"Since you are here to help Wind Wave Nation, I can temporarily put aside all our grudges. However, if Princess is in any danger, I definitely won't let you off." Xiao Kuang's heart sank, and his eyes flashed with a bright light. "
Xiao Kuang was not only a king, he was also the general of thirty thousand troops. He was definitely not an ordinary second generation ancestor.
And he was not the second generation ancestor. He was someone who had slowly tempered himself into a martial practitioner from Blood Slaughter on the battlefield.
Thus, words and actions were incomparably domineering and decisive.
In front of the big picture, Chu Chen was willing to let go of his personal grudges. This fact surprised him and made him admire Xiao Kuang from the bottom of his heart.
"Since the princess has been captured, I will go and save her. There's no need for you to worry."
"The one hundred thousand great army from the Shu Dragon Country is pressing down on the territory. Other than that, I have also received news that the other hundred thousand great army has been transferred from the Shu Dragon Country city, and it is very likely that they will be led by the Blood Emperor. How do you want to save them?" Xiao Kuang coldly snorted.
"I have my ways, there's no need for you to ask." Chu Chen said indifferently.
Hearing this, Xiao Kuang's face froze, but he couldn't refute what Chu Chen had said. The goal of Yan Yuexi recruiting young warriors was to go onto the battlefield and kill off the enemy troops.
After taking in a deep breath, Xiao Kuang calmed down and looked at Chu Chen with a pleading expression: "Since the princess has been captured, can you tell me the details?"
Chu Chen looked at Xiao Kuang, and said that he seemed to really like Yan Yuexi.
However, although had that intention, Yan Yuexi did not.
He, Xiao Kuang, had dominated the battlefield and commanded the entire army. On the way to their relationship, he was also a disappointed person.
Following that, Chu Chen recounted the truth in detail.
"A traitor has actually snuck in." Xiao Kuang's face was cold, his Shu Dragon Country was sinister. When two nations were fighting, it was a battle, there was no need to do such petty things.
"The victor is the king, the loser is the bandit. History is written by the victor." Chu Chen swept his eyes across Xiao Kuang and said indifferently.
Xiao Kuang looked at Chu Chen, his heart suddenly shivering. Indeed, Chu Chen's words were true.
"Now that you know what happened to us, do you have to tell us about the current situation?" Chu Chen asked.
Xiao Kuang immediately said. The Shu Dragon Country has a huge army of one hundred thousand guarding the border, led by five Ruler Armies. These five people's cultivation are not below mine, roughly around the Fifth Level of Spiritual Martial Stage.
"There are also another three thousand Devil Beast, their offensive power is not high, it's only equivalent to warriors at the second or third level of Bloody Martial Stage. However, they have a huge body and can directly kill their way through, none of the ten thousand armies can block them, but the one controlling these Devil Beast seems to be from a sect."
"Compared to Shu Dragon Country, our forces only have a strength of thirty thousand, and there are also many who are injured. The one hundred thousand army that Yan Wushang sent is the last, and if we want to come, we have to wait two to three days. Even if the one hundred thousand strong army from Shu Dragon Country arrived, they would still be able to make it."
A hundred and thirty thousand against two hundred thousand plus three thousand Devil Beast. This difference was too big, and had grasped a deadly killing move. The other party must be planning to capture them so that they can use Yan Yuexi to threaten their Wind Wave Nation. They are trying to minimize the loss of their own country's military power so that they can effortlessly break through the border. "
Xiao Kuang explained it to the group of people, then carefully analyzed it.
After listening, everyone's expression was very heavy. The battle situation was actually so disadvantageous to their Wind Wave Nation.
"With my strength, along with my Heavenly Stellar Sect, there are still a dozen or so young experts. Being able to defend against several thousand soldiers is already the limit, so this battle is not easy to fight." Chu Chen thought.
Furthermore, to be able to fight one battle now was all an extravagant request, because the other party was threatening Yan Yuexi. If they could order Xiao Kuang to lead the troops to retreat, perhaps they could stop the war.
"For the past few days, the Shu Dragon Country Army has not been attacking wantonly. We'll see what happens tomorrow. You guys can go rest first. If there's anything else, you can find me anytime." Xiao Kuang said.

"That's the only way." Chu Chen nodded, and immediately after, a group of people led by a few soldiers left the army headquarters.
On the second day, before dawn broke, a soldier suddenly came to find Chu Chen, saying that he had something to discuss with him.
"Could it be that fast?" Chu Chen's heart sank as he thought of something bad.
Without letting the soldier lead, Chu Chen walked straight towards the tent Xiao Kuang was staying in.
"Is there something you need from me?"
Seeing Chu Chen, Xiao Kuang's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, mixed with an unsuppressible killing intent: "The Shu Dragon Country is beginning to threaten the princess."
"Sure enough." Chu Chen's heart trembled.
Although Xiao Kuang said yesterday that he had put down his grudges, there had not been a real battle between the two, so this grudge existed. The other party must have something important to look for him so early in the morning, and for what reason, Chu Chen had already thought of it before coming.
"Shu Dragon Country told us to retreat. If we didn't evacuate from Death Valley within three days, we would kill Yue Xi. Her body would be hung on the military flag to boost our morale." After saying that, Xiao Kuang's expression turned furious.
"Do you know that not only do they want to kill Yue Xi, those soldiers on the battlefield won't get close to a woman for several months. They will definitely …"
He stopped talking. The coldness on his robust body, which was clad in armor, was oppressing.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Chen asked calmly.
"I don't know. If we withdraw our troops, the Shu Dragon Country army will advance at full speed, which is equivalent to opening a checkpoint for them. This also means that their Wind Wave Nation is going to perish, and I, Xiao Kuang, will be a sinner that has lived through the ages.
"Chu Chen, do you know that this is the woman that I, Xiao Kuang, love the most in my entire life? She has never wavered, even if she were to meet me."
"A year and a half ago, in order to obtain the princess' favor, I didn't hesitate to get close to everyone as an enemy. But now, I don't even ask for too much, as long as she can be happy, even if the princess isn't mine."
Speaking to here, Xiao Kuang laughed dumbly: "She also never belonged to me."
