Fantasy: Rune Inventor

At night, Chen Mu and the others returned to Absolute Sword City in a rickety spaceship.

"Elder Qing, disciple Chen Mu, please come and pay a visit!" After Chen Mu

returned to the inn, the first thing he did was to visit Elder Qingxue.

The door squeaked!

It was Elder Qingxue who opened the door, but her face was full of sadness, and she seemed to be very troubled.

Chen Mu's eyes were sharp, and he found that Bai Jinglong, the city lord of Imperial Snow City, was actually in Elder Qing's room, but Bai Jinglong's face was also very solemn.

"You came to me, is there something wrong?" Elder

Qingxue controlled his expression and asked coldly.

"Yes! The disciple was just outside and found a piece of news about the demon and wanted to report it to the elders.

After Chen Mu finished speaking, Elder Qingxue's face changed, and he hurriedly asked.

"What's the news?" Chen

Mu glanced at Elder Qingxue in surprise and confirmed.

"Say it here?" Elder

Qingxue realized that he was out of shape, and turned his body sideways to let Chen Mu in.

"Come in, come in and say!" After

Chen Mu entered the room, he greeted Bai Jinglong.

"I've seen the White City Lord!" Bai

Jinglong pulled the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a smile, which was regarded as a response to Chen Mu.

"Chen Mu, tell me first, what news did you get about the alien demon?" Elder

Qingxue asked a little anxiously after closing the door.

"Elder Yu, today I will go

to the Black Earth Forest to hunt the alien demons..."Chen Mu briefly said what happened in the Black Earth Forest, and then after talking about the news he got from the Demon General's mouth, Bai Jinglong and Elder Qingxue's faces became ugly.

"In this way, there must be spies in Absolute Sword City! White City Lord, has there been any news from the imperial court? Have you sent reinforcements over?"

Elder Qingxue looked excited.

"Hehe, as soon as the defense line of Fenghaiguan was broken, I used the communication jade card to communicate with the above, and the order I got was to defend the city, and it is said that the six princes have been sent to lead the troops.

Bai Jinglong smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression.

"I've dealt with the six princes, and if it's a smooth battle, he'll do something to help.

But in a situation like the current one, it is impossible for him to rush over at the first time, and he can only appear after the alien demon consumes enough troops.

He looked at Elder Qingxue and accentuated his tone.

"So, now we can only rely on ourselves! At least the alien army that rushed in, before half of the troops died, we would definitely have to fight alone!"

"Bastard, how can they behave like this?"

"How does the empire do things, I think you ask Tiange no less than I know!" Bai

Jinglong sighed, sat down, and tapped lightly on the table.

"The most important thing now is to find out the spies who colluded with the demons! As for the alien army that came in from the Fenghai Pass, they may not attack us.

I have gathered my troops, we have walls to rely on, in fact, we also have the strength to fight, so there is no need to be too pessimistic. The

two of them talked as if no one was around, as if they were completely ignoring Chen Mu's existence.

And Chen Mu pondered the conversation between the two carefully, and roughly figured out what was going on.

Fenghaiguan is a border city, located in the westernmost part of the Haotian Empire, and is the first line of the battle against the alien demons, it is not far from the Absolute Sword City, about a thousand kilometers away.

Listening to Bai Jinglong's meaning, the Fenghai Pass has been broken by the alien demons, and the alien army has already rushed in.

Chen Mu secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, according to the current situation, the military of Absolute Sword City should force the cultivators in the city to help defend the city.

Once they are recruited, if they dare to escape, they will be charged with desertion and hunted down by the imperial court.

However, the announcement has not yet been released, and maybe he is now fleeing overnight with a few people in the dark night, and it is possible that he will not be involved in this matter.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the two.

"That, Elder Qing, the news to be reported has been reported, and the disciple will retreat first. Elder

Qingxue glanced at him and nodded.

"Stand down! Your message is useful, and I'll credit you.

But you have to remember not to tell anyone what you have just heard, or I will not spare you. "

Yes! Disciple must remember!"

Chen Mu bowed his hand and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Bai

Jinglong's words made Chen Mu's mood fall from the clouds to the bottom.

"White City Lord, dare to ask if there is anything else?" Chen

Mu turned around and asked with a smile on his face.

Bai Jinglong smiled coldly, as if he had already seen through what he was thinking.

"Don't think about escaping! If any of the Heavenly Pavilion disciples get rid of them, I will report them to the imperial court for the crime of defection

!" "Yes!"

Chen Mu arched his hand indignantly and turned to leave.

......

After returning to the room, Chen Mu immediately summoned a few people to his room to discuss countermeasures.

"Judging from Bai Jinglong's reaction, the alien army should have just broken through the Wind Pass this morning, and the army's advance speed will not be as fast as our individual actions, so we should still have more than ten days to prepare.

Chen Mu opened a detailed map of the vicinity of Absolute Sword City and said seriously.

"Judging from the map, there are five cities that can be reached through the Wind Pass, and the distance between our Wind Customs is moderate, so it is difficult to determine whether the alien demon army will attack Absolute Sword City this time.

But we can't sit still, if we don't attack our Absolute Sword City, of course we will all be happy, but if we attack and the Absolute Sword City can't hold it, we will not be able to escape.

So we have to think of a foolproof solution.

Chen Duo listened drowsy and defended dissatisfiedly.

"Brother, the leaders of the alien demon army this time should all be demon king-level figures, cultivators like us who have not stepped into the True Spirit Realm, where can we shake the overall situation?

I think it's good to let Elder Qingxue and them have a headache, at most we will kill a few more demon generals on the battlefield.

Although Chen Duo's words are quite frustrating, everyone has to admit that this is indeed the case.

For thousands of years, the strong man in the battle between the two armies is the decisive factor, of course, if there are enough numbers, they can also pose a threat to the strong, but just the four of them, it really can't have much impact.

But Chen Mu didn't think so, he was silent for a while and said.

"Actually, for the past year, I've been researching various sigils that can bring victory on the battlefield.

Although there is still a lot of research that has not yet been completed, even the results of the current situation I think are sufficient to reverse the outcome of such a local battle. As he

spoke, Chen Mu took out a small machine man with a delicate shape from the ring.

This machine man is like a hedgehog, with a long round muzzle all over his body, and seems to have been born entirely for war.
