Chapter 118: Single-handedly Holding Off a Thousand Troops (2)

  "What are they doing running around?"

  Outside the formation, Ye Yi and others found it strange that those soldiers inside the formation were like headless flies, running around everywhere, clearly in front of them, yet they didn't chase after them, which was also a bit too strange.

  Not just Ye Wing and others, but also the pursuing soldiers behind them and the dragon knights above, did not understand what these people were doing.

  That's the magic of Qimen Dunjia, people outside will never know how it feels to be inside, what kind of scenery is in there and what state they are in.

  No matter what is called outside and what is done, the people inside can't hear or see!

  It's precisely because of this that the people behind directly entered inside, wanting to scold the people inside, but as a result, they all ended up with the same outcome.

  The result is that there are more and more people inside, and the people in the back also feel that something is wrong and no longer enter. However, by then, most of the people have already been pulled in.

  And when they wanted to bypass it, they found themselves entering a new formation. Yelang had already infiltrated the formation on both sides and even surrounded the entire army!

  The Dragon Knights, after seeing this situation, already didn't know whether they should continue to pursue or not. If they didn't pursue, as long as Ye Wing and the others escaped from the actual control range of the Xiangkong Empire, then they wouldn't be able to pursue them again. This was because Dragon Knights were not allowed to cross borders, unless there were special circumstances, and even then, only a few people could leave the border.

  Alright, even if a small number of people can leave the border and catch up with Ye Yi, what then? Can they defeat a top-notch master?

  So either give up directly or go down and block them directly, waiting for the people behind to get out of this predicament, but how long will it take for them to get out?

  It seems like this situation is going to be hard to get out of for a while!

  "Give up, let's go get help. If we just focus on catching them and let the tens of thousands of people below die for nothing, then what we lose will be even greater!!" The leader of the Dragon Knights' squad said in a deep voice.

  "Yes!" The dragon knights replied, as if they had let out a sigh of relief.

  It seems they don't want to confront Ye Yi and others either, but are forced by the emperor's order!

  And if someone were to scrutinize it, they would definitely discover that not only did the pursuers not want to kill them off completely, but Ye Yi and others also showed restraint everywhere, in this desperate battle of escape, they tried their best not to kill anyone.

  So this fleeing war seems to be quite interesting!

  It's hard to disobey an imperial decree, but it can be obeyed in appearance while being disobeyed in reality!!

  No matter what, Ye Lang's abilities this time are terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that the Xiang Kong Empire had blocked the news, Ye Lang would have become the focus of attention for the entire continent.

  "What did you just say? You said Ye Lang single-handedly held off everyone, both before and after?" Empress Zhao Yaru looked at the Dragon Rider squadron leader in shock.

  What she said earlier and later refers to the large army that previously chased after Ye Lang and others, plus the border defense troops!

  "Yes! He used an alchemy formation that no one has ever seen before, trapping everyone inside. They can't escape his formation no matter how hard they try! Fortunately, the people inside are safe; his formation only traps them without any lethal force!" The Dragon Knight Captain replied respectfully.

  "Everyone, all these people put together, how many do you think there are?" Zhao Yaru asked with a frown, and she wasn't unaware of the answer to this question, it's just that like everyone else, some questions you already know the answer to, but still want to ask again to get confirmation from someone else.

  "A total of 180,000 people!"

  "Eighteen thousand people were held back by him alone, how can anyone believe this!" Zhao Yaru said with a hint of self-muttering.

  "No one dared to believe it, but it was a fact. It was because of this that we were unable to complete the task entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen." The captain of the dragon knights said.

  "I understand that without the help of those 180,000 people, it would be difficult to keep them and there might even be some losses. This is not what I want to see," Zhao Yaru said, "You did the right thing, no need to blame yourself!"

  Although Zhao Yaru is a bit crazy and abnormal, she is a person who distinguishes right from wrong.

  "The top priority now is to find a way to rescue those 180,000 people. If we drag it out any longer, who knows what will happen! The border currently has no defensive troops, and if the enemy finds out, it'll be very troublesome!" This was also one of the main reasons why Longqi returned.

  The 180,000 troops being held back is for the sake of escape, but among these 180,000 people, there are frontier defense troops. Being held back like this, any country would need to take emergency measures.

  "Take the royal alchemists to deal with it immediately, and hope they can come up with a solution!" Zhao Yaru immediately ordered the royal alchemists to come over here, letting the dragon knights take them there.

  While waiting, Zhao Yaru seemed to ask casually: "Is Ye Lang still there?"

  "It should still be inside. When I came, he was controlling the alchemy formation and was surrounded in the middle!" The Dragon Knight Captain replied.

  "Others can't help it, he must catch him, don't let him run away!" Zhao Yaru gritted her teeth, and Ye Lang was gnashing his teeth with hatred.

  "Yes!" The Dragon Knight Captain obeyed orders.

  Anyone can understand that now Ye Lang's value is far higher than anyone else. Think about it, if one person can hold back an army of 180,000, sweeping across the entire continent would be a breeze.

  No need to cultivate a few people like him, just one is enough!

  "If, and I mean if, he happens to run away, you must all keep this a secret for me. No one is allowed to reveal even half a hint!" The queen said sternly, believing that anyone who disobeyed her would be put to death, and possibly bring disaster upon their family.

  "Yes!" The Dragon Knight Captain replied.

  I believe it's the same with this one, everyone will understand that if Ye Lang escapes, he can't be caught by others either. The best way to "protect" him is not to let anyone know about this matter.

  It's okay, although this matter was made a big deal of, but Ye Lang's ultimate Qimen formation method was only known to the military, and even among those who clearly saw him deploy the formation, there were only a small number of people. Others could only speculate.

  So, blocking this news is not a difficult task at all!

  It's because of this that Ye Lang can continue to roam freely on the mainland, continuing to travel everywhere without being noticed by those power centers!

  "What did you say, how could he possibly do that? What kind of alchemy formation is this?" The royal alchemist who had not been very enthusiastic about coming over in the first place also moved towards Ye Lang upon hearing his words.

  They didn't want to come, actually also because of Ye Lang. Who let Zhao Yaru chase and kill Ye Lang? This is absolutely not something they would enjoy. For them, Ye Lang was very special, having watched him grow up from a young age as he walked further and further down the path of alchemy.

  Ye Lang is just like their apprentice, although Ye Lang would never admit it, but they all more or less think this way!

  "How is this possible! Why can he go to such lengths, am I going to be unable to catch up with him for the rest of my life?" Among the Royal Alchemists, there was a young girl, her fists clenched tightly, her face clouded with uncertainty.

  It's clear that Ye Lang's unique formation, combined with alchemy, makes her feel like she needs to climb an almost insurmountable peak in order to stand on the same level as him!
