Nemesis is Coming - C125

When I heard the three words Tiesha River, my heart went slightly cold. Even Han Xifei trembled. Perhaps, that was the place Han Xifei was the most unwilling to recall.

I immediately asked the He Tuan: What is she doing there?

Only then did He Tuan begin to explain.

It turned out that two weeks ago, Long Dan had come to He Tuan to discuss some matters, and while he was eating dinner at the He Tuan’s home, they had started to discuss the battle in the south.

At that time, He Xiaotong was also there, and she was listening with interest.

However, when it came to Iron Sand River, Long Dan talked about how easy it was to defend and attack with Tiesha River, and how wide the river was.

It was rumored that in the battle of Tiesha River, less than five thousand people, who had guarded over a hundred thousand people, had made it out of the battlefield alive.

Long Dan felt that it was only a legend. The truth wasn’t as tragic as it was said to be. On the contrary, it was because too many deserters appeared on the battlefield that led to the collapse of the defensive line, which led to the defeat of Ironsand River.

When He Tuan said till here, I clenched my fists tightly. I wanted to kill Long Dan with a single punch.

In fact, Tiesha River battle was the most tragic battle, even Old General Zhao died on the battlefield. In the end, there were only 4,000 people left. That was how he repelled the enemy’s attack.

However, unexpectedly, another 100 thousand enemy troops appeared on the other side of the river. Han Xifei had to give the order to retreat. However, only two thousand people had escaped with her, and only a hundred had survived.

Although Han Xifei did not have any expression, her body was trembling.

The He Tuan continued to speak: It is this problem that caused the two of them to get into an argument. The little boy felt that in the battle of Tiesha River, the defending army must have been guarded to the point of being unable to defend. However, Long Dan felt that more than 50% of the soldiers had fled, resulting in the defeat of the soldiers.

I’ve been gnashing my teeth.

The He Tuan sighed and said, “At that time, the little boy also said that she must show us the proof of the fierce battle at Tiesha River. At that time, we thought that she was just playing with his temper, but now, it seems that he might have really gone there.

With that, He Tuan walked out. He was in a rush, and he only heard him say: Long Dan is currently helping me find my daughter. I’ll inform him right now. He was supposed to send some people to take a look at the road at the Ironsand River, since the little boy probably hadn’t reached the Tiesha River yet.

Watching as He Tuan walked out of the combat room, I started to worry about the safety of He Xiaotong, that girl.

At this time, he heard Han Xi Fei saying calmly: “If you are not at ease, you should also go with He Tuan to help find it.”

Hearing that, I nodded my head gratefully towards Han Xifei, then rushed out of the battle room and chased after He Tuan.

He Tuan was also very happy to learn that I was going to help too. He said: “Alright, you are quite familiar with the road from here to Tiesha River, with you there, you should be able to accomplish twice the result with half the work.”

With that, I got into He Tuan’s car. The car slowly drove towards the Luo City.

We quickly arrived at the City Hall’s conference room, and I discovered that the mayor and Long Dan were both in there.

Long Dan glared at me the moment he saw me, and I ignored him, standing next to the He Tuan.

He Tuan went straight to the point, “The mayor, Brother Long Dan, it’s very likely that my daughter went to the Tiesha River.”

Long Dan was a little doubtful. “Why would my niece go there?”

He Tuan sighed. “Have you forgotten what you argued with her the last time we drank?” Isn’t it just for Tiesha River?

Long Dan smacked his head and said: “Why is this girl still so childish, she is using too much energy!”

Long Dan looked at He Tuan, seemingly feeling somewhat guilty. He said to him, “Brother He Tuan, it is my fault.” I’ll send someone to the Tiesha River right now. No, I’m going to bring that girl back to you myself.

Long Dan turned and asked the mayor: “Bro, what do you think about this matter?”

How many men are you going to take with you, Aaron? asked the mayor.

Long Dan thought for a while, then said: I’ll bring twenty thousand people with me. Weren’t there always a small group of enemies who had been harassing the nearby villages lately? It’s just nice to get rid of these annoying flies, too.

And this was what the Guild Leader was going to say: I was only guessing that my daughter had gone to the Tiesha River. But it was also possible that he hadn’t gone. Therefore, the soldiers that were searching for him in other places were not to be withdrawn.

Long Dan nodded and said: Alright, don’t worry, brother He Tuan! Then I’ll leave 10 thousand people to continue searching around Luo City. I will only bring 10 thousand people to the Tiesha River.

When I heard this, I felt that something was amiss, so I said to Long Dan: General Long Dan, I’m afraid that this is inappropriate.

Long Dan, on the other hand, cursed at me impatiently.

The mayor waved his hands towards Long Dan, telling him not to be angry, and said: “What this general said is reasonable, we are only going to find people, not fight. Just take 5000 men.

I thought to myself, Why is the mayor so confused? 5000 people are just like 10 thousand people, easily attracting the attention of the enemy, it would be safer to just lend 10 thousand people.

I was about to say something when the mayor said to me, General Long Dan is leading the troops. The poultry and wild beasts outside the city posed no threat at all.

I secretly cursed this mayor for being stupid, as this would cause Long Dan’s death.

Thinking of this, I felt a chill in my heart. He looked at the mayor. This old man couldn’t possibly want Long Dan to die, right?

But five thousand people to accompany him in death, this was too much work.

Long Dan said happily: Alright, wait for my good news.

The three of them had agreed that Long Dan would bring over five thousand soldiers and set off to Tiesha River to search for He Xiaotong along the road an hour later. The remaining fifteen thousand people would search around the vicinity of Luo City for He Xiaotong, while at the same time exterminating the enemies that were causing trouble for the nearby villages.

While I still had an hour to spare, I used that time to return to Han Xifei’s place and told him all of this.

Han Xifei thought for a while, then said: The mayor is afraid of raising a tiger, so he doesn’t want to keep Long Dan as a dog anymore.

Han Xifei continued to tell me: If you really want to go, then let He Xiaodong. Long Dan, you can’t count on him anymore.

I nodded after hearing it, agreeing with Han Xifei, and said: I understand, thank you General for your guidance.

Han Xifei sighed and said: I can’t send other soldiers to help you now, after all, I don’t have enough people to cover my teeth.

Han Xifei took out a transparent pearl and gave it to me.

She continued: This is a God’s Punishment Fragment, a gift from God of Wisdom. It was equivalent to a powerful bomb that was only effective on gods. Remember, do not use it unless you are in crisis.

I bowed towards Han Xifei before walking out.

I grabbed the White Shadow and didn’t bother to discuss anything with He Tuan anymore. Instead, I flew towards Iron Sand River on my own.

Just as I flew to the Luo City gate, I saw a large group of over five thousand people leaving the city, and the one leading them was Long Dan.

Was this the abandoned chess piece?

I ignored him and began to fly west.
