Chapter 44 Suzaku Camp

The rising sun in the east pierces the darkness.

But it was unable to dispel the thick blood smell floating in the air.

After a night of hard fighting, in addition to Chen Xian who was madly killing people in the group of monsters, more than half of the firemen were killed or wounded, the cooks also suffered heavy casualties, and even Ding Chen, Wang Yan, Qin Fei, Xue Qishan and others were seriously injured.

The demon-suppressing soldiers in the north and east of the Blood River Forest also suffered heavy casualties. The Black Tiger King led his demon army and successfully occupied the Blood River Forest.

Major General Pei Menglong and other generals led the demon-suppressing soldiers to set up camp thirty miles north of the Blood River Forest, preparing to resist for another day.

Black Wind Valley.

Chen Xian was taking care of Ding Chen and others. Only 39 out of 107 people were still alive, and the rest were all killed in the battle.

More than 1,300 firemen died, and their bodies were laid out one by one. Liu Dingchun, who was arrogant and irritable at the beginning, was now so tired that he squatted on the ground like a dead pig, and he didn't even have the energy to scold people.

After becoming a major general of the Fire Army, he had not been to the battlefield for three years.

It nearly cost him his life.

"Chen Xian, damn it, why did you let so many demons in?"

After resting for a while, Liu Dingchun sat up straight and roared.

Chen Xian ignored him. What happened last night, with five thousand demons charging towards them, how could one hundred and eight people possibly withstand it?

"You bastard, you almost killed me!" Liu Dingchun cursed.

However, at this time, the roar of demons was heard from the north of the Blood River Forest.

Liu Dingchun and everyone else suddenly became extremely nervous. If there was another wave of attacks, they would all die here.

"Get up quickly and prepare for battle!" Liu Dingchun stood up with difficulty and roared.

But less than half of the firemen were still able to stand.

The cooks around Chen Xian were unable to stand up.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, a figure rose into the sky from the direction of the camp and rushed over like thunder.

Chen Xian looked intently and saw a middle-aged man wearing dark gold armor and holding a dark gold spear in his hand, charging into the Blood River Forest.

"It's General Sun!" Liu Dingchun was overjoyed after seeing clearly.

General Sun is the strongest among the nine battalions.

In a moment, tens of thousands of demon-suppressing soldiers attacked from three directions.

Among them, three thousand troops passed through the Black Wind Valley, and everyone was stunned when they saw it clearly.

Because the 3,000 demon-suppressing soldiers who came were all women, and the leading major general was also a woman, and judging by her age, she was probably around 20 years old.

Dressed in silver armor, he looks extremely heroic.

The female major general glanced at Liu Dingchun with cold eyes and said, "Firefighter, go back to the camp."

As soon as he finished speaking, he led three thousand female soldiers to charge towards the Blood River Forest.

"There are female soldiers?" Chen Xian was slightly stunned.

Ding Chen nodded and said, "It's the third battalion, the Suzaku Battalion, all female soldiers."

The nine armies to suppress demons are divided into ten camps, with 10,000 men in each camp.

Chen Xian nodded with some surprise, as he thought there were only men in front of the Demon-Suppressing Pass.

Soon, the female major general left with three thousand female soldiers, with great momentum.

"Go back to camp!"

Liu Dingchun shouted loudly and jumped on his horse.

Seeing that Chen Xian and the others hadn't moved, he snorted coldly: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Mu Feng brought his men, glanced at Chen Xian and Ding Chen, and followed them out of the Black Wind Valley.

As soon as everyone left.

Chen Xian and others also began to reorganize and brought all the dead brothers back to the camp.

Nine battalions.

When the demon-suppressing soldiers guarding the gate saw that some of the cooks were still alive, they were extremely surprised.

The battle in the Blood River Forest has been brutal in the past two days. More than half of the soldiers in the Ninth Battalion who suppress demons have died. Yet, there are still thirty or forty of the three hundred soldiers alive?

Return to the cook camp.

Chen Xian asked Ding Chen and others to regulate their breathing for half a day. He himself was also very exhausted, so he sat cross-legged in the tent and summoned the panel.

[Martial arts: Bull Demon Golden Body Art (completed), Vajra Dragon Elephant Art (not yet mastered)...]

[Experience: 386110 points]

[Realm: Soaring Great Accomplishment] [Lifespan: 280 years]

Chen Xian was very excited. Last night he killed more than a thousand demons, including two demon kings and nine demon men, and gained 31 experience points.

Adding the more than 6 experience points previously accumulated, the total amount reached 38 points.

He consumed 110 experience points to upgrade the Bull Demon Golden Body Technique and replenished the energy consumed in the Jade Sea to its peak. In an instant, he was full of energy, but mentally exhausted.

Close your eyes and rest for an hour.

After lunch.

Chen Xian found Ding Chen and others, and half of them were able to take action.

The crowd buried the 68 dead cooks at the foot of Wumeng Mountain and packed up their belongings and sent them back to their hometowns.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Including Chen Xian, there were still forty people in the cook camp, and no reinforcements were received.

During this period, Liu Dingchun did not send anyone.

Even the entire Ninth Battalion was extremely quiet.

Ding Chen and his thirty-nine men had almost recovered from their injuries and were training in the open space in front of the camp.

On this day, cheers were heard from the front army.

Chen Xian's ears twitched, and he said, "Those female soldiers are quite powerful. They actually drove the demon army back to the north bank of the Blood River Forest!"

Ding Chen put away his gun and said, "The Suzaku Iron Cavalry of the Third Battalion of the Ninth Army and the Black Dragon Iron Cavalry of the First Battalion are two sharp swords in the Ninth Army. I heard that the minimum strength is more than condensed at 200 acupoints, and some of the captains are strong in the Lingkong realm."

Chen Xian was surprised: "So powerful?"

Ding Chen nodded and said, "The female lieutenant general Tang Can of the third battalion is even more powerful. It is said that she can knock General Sun away with one shot."

Everyone was shocked.

In the early morning, General Sun took action. Everyone watched from afar and thought he was definitely very powerful.

Tang Can is indeed terrifying as he can knock General Sun away with one shot!
"So, it's impossible for the demon army to pass the Demon Suppression Pass!?" Chen Xian said.

Ding Chen groaned and said, "This... is hard to say!"

In the fight against demons, generals are important, but soldiers are also important.

If the soldiers are defeated all the way, no matter how strong the general is, his strength will eventually be exhausted and he will still die tragically on the battlefield.

Unless you retreat, keep retreating.

Then the Demon-Suppressing Pass will be lost.

Once the Demon-Suppressing Pass is lost, the majesty of the Daning Dynasty will collapse. Being ridiculed by all parties is a small matter, but taking advantage of the chaos to attack the Daning Dynasty is a big deal.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Chen Xian was called away by Liu Dingchun.

He followed the fireman alone to the central army tent. When he entered the tent, he saw quite a few people sitting there.

Liu Dingchun was at the front.

There was one person sitting on one side and two people sitting on the other side.

There are people behind them too.

Chen Xian saw Mu Feng at a glance, and his eyes swept across the proud young captain in front of Mu Feng. It should be Li Sheng.

"This humble general greets General Liu!"

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Dingchun shouted coldly.

Chen Xian raised his head slightly, looked directly at Liu Dingchun and said, "As far as I know, we in Daning don't have the kneeling ceremony!"

Except for the emperor's enthronement ceremony, there is no kneeling ceremony at other times.

Even if the person in front of him was Emperor Ning, he didn't need to kneel down. What's more, Liu Dingchun was just a major general of the fire army. What qualifications did he have to kneel down?
"Disobeying your boss, huh?"

Liu Dingchun stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger: "In the Huotou Army Camp, I am the most powerful general. Don't ask me to kneel down or die, you have to obey. This is loyalty!"

"You are a disloyal and treacherous thing. This general asked you to be the vanguard and gave you the opportunity to make achievements, but you led your men to release the demon army and killed more than a thousand of my firemen. Damn, do you know who they are?"

Those who can enter the fire army camp are all the children of local dignitaries and wealthy gentry, or at the very least, they are from wealthy families with money and power.

He and General Sun took money from others, and now so many people have died. How come they are not hated by their families?

"General, take this guy out and chop him up!" A black-faced captain, filled with rage, stood up and pointed at Chen Xian and shouted.

"Chop them off? Captain Zou, do you want to chop off my people?!" Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and spoke lightly.
