Chapter 1842 Cutting Down the Sacred Tree
After Deputy General Xu led everyone to get the war horses, the group quickly left the camp.
Long Fei followed Qin Guan and frowned:
"This Vice General Xu is so anxious to bring us out, and he is not allowed to inform General Zhang Yuan. Why do I feel guilty and panic..."
Qin Guan galloped his horse and grinned:
"This Vice General Xu is Ye Liangchen's entourage. He is leading us on a mission behind General Zhang Yuan's back. Do you think it will be a good thing?"
Long Fei raised his eyebrows:
"No wonder I always have an uneasy feeling. This sudden mission is fake, and I'm afraid it's real to deceive us!"
After Lieutenant General Xu led Qin Guan and dozens of people to ride the horse for four to five thousand miles, he stopped, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, looked at Xiaoying who was following closely behind, sneered, and ordered:
"Vice General Xiaoying, Commander Ye has an order, ordering you to take a group of new soldiers from the Pioneer Corps to cut down the celestial sacred trees. When the three months are up, or you can cut down 100 celestial sacred trees before you can return to the camp, you will take them immediately. Let’s go without any mistakes!”
Xiaoying's eyes suddenly widened, filled with astonishment:
"Vice General Xu, there are only a few dozen of us. The task of cutting down the sacred tree of heaven is too overwhelming!"
The task of felling the celestial sacred tree is usually led by the general of the vanguard army in person, with at least a thousand people accompanying him!
Even so, no team has ever succeeded in cutting down a hundred celestial trees in three months!
What's more important is that every time a celestial sacred tree is successfully cut down, it will be attacked by monsters. Even if a strong general from the vanguard army leads the team, the casualties will be huge!
Now their team only has a few dozen people. Not only is the number far different from a thousand people, but there is no strong general-level leader to lead the team. They are only led by a deputy general named Xiaoying. Let alone complete the mission, I am afraid that Thank God if one-third of these people returned to the camp alive after three months!
"Hmph! Military orders are like mountains. The orders given by Commander Ye himself must be obeyed unconditionally! You have to go if you want to, or if you don't want to go, you have to go!"
Vice General Xu snorted coldly and galloped away without giving Xiaoying a chance to continue speaking.
Looking at Vice General Xu's leaving figure, Xiaoying curled her lips speechlessly, her eyes full of anger.
"Vice General Xiaoying, why are you so angry?"
The ancestor of the Lu family looked confused and asked.
"The task of cutting down the celestial sacred tree is too difficult for us."
Xiaoying looked away, sighed and said helplessly.
"Why don't we just chop down a hundred trees? With a wave of my sharp claw, Mr. Dan, I can knock down a whole tree, not to mention a whole tree! It won't take three months, and we can chop down a hundred trees!"
Dandan said with a smile, not taking it seriously at all.
"Tianxiang Shenmu is a plant with the strongest wood properties in the battlefield. It is the most needed material for camp defense. It can also be used to refine armor, magic weapons and other uses. It is extremely difficult to cut down, even for the most powerful martial saint. , one day and one night without rest, it’s already great to be able to cut down a celestial tree!”
Xiaoying opened her mouth to explain.
"Even the most powerful Martial Saint may not be able to cut down one tree in one day and one night. This celestial tree is so difficult to cut down!"
Yun'er's beautiful eyes wrinkled slightly and she said dumbly.
Xuanyuan Jingjing's beautiful eyes flashed with worry, and she said:
"If we have to cut down the celestial sacred tree for three months before we can go back, wouldn't it be very likely that we would miss the time for your father to return to the camp? If we go back and your father is sent out to take on other tasks, wouldn't our family of three have to go back again? Missed it.”
Xiaoying shook her head and smiled bitterly:
"Go back in three months? If it were only difficult to cut down the Celestial Sacred Tree, the strange fragrance emitted during the cutting process would attract powerful monsters, which would be even more dangerous! Every time the pioneer legion soldiers sent to cut down the Celestial Sacred Tree, It would be good to have one-third of the people go back in the end.”
"There are only a few dozen of us. I'm really worried. I'm afraid even I may not be able to return to the camp alive this time."
"What, cutting down the sacred tree of heaven is so dangerous!"
Lei Juan's almond-shaped eyes widened:
"Then this time Ye Liangchen sent us to cut down the sacred tree of heaven and he knew he was going to kill us!"
Everyone’s expressions changed!
Only one-third of the thousand-person team can successfully return. Their team only has a few dozen people, so the risks they face are even greater. There will be even fewer people who can make it back alive!
Qin Dian nodded and sighed:
"The person Ye Liangchen wanted to deal with was me, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't even let you go. It's me who has hurt everyone this time. I'm really sorry."
"What's the point? You and we are friends for a lifetime. Without you, we would have died long ago. Now we have turned into withered bones. How could we come to the plane battlefield and have the opportunity to enter the divine realm! "
The ancestor of the Lu family waved his hand indifferently.
"That's right! The practice of a warrior is always in danger. We have seen this kind of thing too many times!"
Boss Fang touched his bald head and smiled.
"Since there are so many dangers in cutting down the Celestial Sacred Tree, there is no one to keep an eye on us anyway. The worst we can do is hang around outside for three months, and then return to the camp for business when the time is up."
A cunning look flashed in Dandan's eyes and he spoke.
Xiaoying shook her head:
"No. The mission has been issued, we must execute it, otherwise it will be against military orders! Whether we have cut down the Tianxiang sacred tree and how long we have stayed there can be detected after returning to the camp."
"So, we have no choice now. Although we know that there are many dangers and most of us may never return, we can only go to cut down the Tianxiang sacred tree!"
Qin Guan hesitated for a moment and said:
"Father is still in the camp. We can't leave the camp at all and can't do anything to disobey military orders. Now that things have come to this, we will go to cut down the Tianxiang sacred tree according to the order and see if there is any turnaround."
"Okay!"
Everyone nodded. Now there is no choice. Led by Xiaoying, a group of people went to the "Shenmu Forest" where the Tianxiang sacred tree is located...
Deputy General Xu did not return to the camp. After walking a thousand miles, he stopped and blew a whistle. The surroundings that were originally empty were suddenly filled with hundreds of figures from all directions.
These people were not wearing armor like soldiers, but uniform black clothes. The aura of each of them was many times stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. Obviously, they were all late-stage martial saints.
"You raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a moment. You violated military regulations, but Commander Ye was kind-hearted and spared your lives. He also used his own divine stone resources to provide you with training. Now it's time for you to repay Commander Ye!"
Deputy General Xu showed a grim smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes swept over the more than a hundred black-clad masters.
