Jiang Chen had no idea what the woman had said, so he had to give the order, “Stay away from the castle!” He didn’t waste any time. Grabbing the long-legged woman’s shoulder, he was going to fly

It was at this moment that the ground started to shake violently. The Redcloud Sword in Jiang Chen’s hand also shook

The woman had antic.i.p.ated it. She took advantage of the chance to jump onto the ground

At the same time, the general of the guards troops came quickly, like an arrow shot from a holy bow

Jiang Chen wasn’t a match for him at all. He had to drive the eight groups of spiritual beings again to flee into the air

The general didn’t fight with the eight groups of spiritual beings. His only aim was to save the woman

After having saved her, he and other guards ran into a lane next to the castle

The beautiful castle was falling apart, destroyed by the earthquake. Gravels kept rolling down

In addition to that, extremely hot flames gushed out of the cracks on the ground, destroying everything

Jiang Chen, in the air, knew this wasn’t over yet. He hurried to leave with the Red Flame Battalion. The castle exploded like an ignited power keg when they had been dozens of miles away

The castle disappeared. Only a giant crater was left. Lasting energies were still fluctuating there

“How cruel they are,” said Tang Zhengyi

“They must have left through some secret tunnel.” It occurred to Jiang Chen they had gone in the same direction together. He knew they weren’t dead

“All evidences are gone.” That was what Qiu Yan cared about. After the disappearance of the castle, she had no way to prove the Dragon Rebel Army was studying evil methods

The Sacred Martial Arts Inst.i.tute wouldn’t listen to her

“This isn’t our mission. Let’s head for the seven cities.”

Worrying about Whitty, Jiang Chen went back into the Cooling Formation with Tang Zhengyi and others to complete the Red Flame Battalion

“Among the eight battalions, we Red Flame Battalion are the only battalion with two Venerables,” w.a.n.g Qiang said proudly

“It’s more than that.” Jiang Chen’s breakthrough to Venerable contributed a lot to the military power of the Red Flame Battalion. It was fair to say the current Red Flame Battalion could be compared to a middle troop

“Jiang Chen, let’s talk about the tactical formation.” Qiu Yan suddenly said to him in an unkind tone. She looked emotionless

“Yeah? What do you want to talk about?” Jiang Chen played dumb. He pretended he had no idea what she was referring to

“When I agreed you to modify the Cooling Formation, I told you the tactical formation would be under my control. It’s not because I don’t trust you, but because it’s the rule in the army.” Qiu Yan was really p.i.s.sed off. She had thought she had the control of the Cooling Formation, but it turned out that she was bound by the tactical formation

“But everything is fine, isn’t it?” Knowing it was his fault, Jiang Chen said with an embarra.s.sed smile

“I’m not angry because of that, but if you keep neglecting authority like this, you’ll end up badly in the future, especially in the army,” Qiu Yan said

It turned that she was worrying about Jiang Chen

Because she saw her brother in Jiang Chen

“I know.” Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders, not taking it seriously

“You’re arrogant and proud,” Qiu Yan said unhappily

“Thank you,” said Jiang Chen seriously

Qiu Yan didn’t know what to say. Shaking her head, she stopped speaking

The Red Flame Battalion headed for one of the seven cities as fast as possible

The city was in siege, but the Bright Moon Troop, the Tiger Troop and the Shadow Pursuing Troop hadn’t taken it successfully.

A siege warfare usually took time. And the military power in the city wasn’t weak, so it was normal that there was no result yet

“”Hopefully things are going on well for the other battle groups,”” Zhao Wenhao thought to himself

The next day was the due day. They still had time

“Corps commander, the Red Flame Battalion is back!” A lieutenant of his said in an extremely excited tone

“Really?” Zhao Wenhao instantly lost his manner. Pressing his hand on the lieutenant’s shoulder, he said emotionally, “What about Jiang Chen? Is he all right?” The lieutenant was surprised. He knew Zhao Wenhao wasn’t very sociable, which was kind of his weakness

He was really surprised that Zhao Wenhao was so emotional because of Jiang Chen

Then the lieutenant gave Zhao Wenhao a satisfying answer

The Red Flame Battalion was welcomed by the three middle troops. They really appreciated that the Red Flame Battalion would rather sacrifice themselves than get the whole battle groups into trouble

“How did you run away from the Dragon Rebel Army?” the commander of the Shadow Pursuing Troop asked curiously

Zhang Tianyi had a look of surprise on his face, because he noticed Jiang Chen was already a Venerable! “Would that be necessary? War Chariot, Black Dragon and Holy Wind had great casualties. They fled as fast as their legs would carry them!” Tang Zhengyi said loudly

“Ah?!” It sounded like a fictional story to the three middle troops

Then Jiang Chen told them that it was he who had tricked the Dragon Rebel Army into the territory of the beast and he had the way to avoid the beast’s attack

Zhao Wenhao and the other two commanders had all heard about the beast, namely Whitty. They did believe the beast could eliminate the Dragon Rebel Army

“I knew you wouldn’t die easily,” Zhao Wenhao said in a joyful tone.

Jiang Chen nodded. He suddenly walked towards the Shadow Pursuing Troop and went up to Zhang Tianyi

Pulling a long face, Zhang Tianyi was kind of nervous. Although he admired Jiang Chen sincerely, he wasn’t sure whether Jiang Chen was still holding a grudge against him

Now that Jiang Chen had been a Venerable, it was quite probable that he would come to pick a fight with him

The whole Third Legion knew about the fight between them. Seeing them confronting each other face to face, they all felt nervous

“It was my fault to impede your breakthrough to the Venerable.” To his surprise, Jiang Chen apologized to him

It turned out Jiang Chen came to understand how difficult the process was and what the consequence could be after his own breakthrough

Back then he was so emotional that he lost his mind

His apology was beyond people’s expectation. Even Zhang Tianyi didn’t antic.i.p.ate it

Then Zhang Tianyi said, “That’s all right. You didn’t make me fail. You only interrupted me. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish the breakthrough in such a short time.” After hesitation, he went on, “In fact, if you hadn’t interrupted me, I might have killed you in anger. Besides, it was my fault to start the whole thing. I should apologize to you.” “Let’s call it even.” Jiang Chen said, beaming

“Okay!” Zhang Tianyi nodded and smiled back. He felt relieved

Then Jiang Chen asked about the battle. He said, “How is everything going?” “We should be able to take the city before the dusk of tomorrow. I believe other battle groups, under less pressure, will complete their tasks, too,” Zhao Wenhao said

He sounded optimistic. However, throwing the city a glance, Jiang Chen said, “No. The due time will be tomorrow’s afternoon instead of the dusk.” “Why?” Zhao Wenhao said,confused

“The construction of this city has been done, so the construction of the other six cities will cost one-seventh less of the time this one’s construction has cost.”

“So they’ll be built faster?” “Yes. And in this way, the ward might be successfully deployed by tonight.”
