The battle of Sanhekou resulted in a victory for the alliance between the humans and the elves.

The Flying Tiger clan retreated from Sanhekou.

At the same time, they were forced to abandon a key defensive location.

Sanhekou has three rivers and is located in a plain, making its transportation very developed.

Occupying this place allows for attacks from three directions.

Currently, the elves are preparing to discuss how to proceed with the attack.

Lin Chen, along with Xue Mo and the others, successfully returned to Red Pine Forest.

As soon as he returned, he saw Jin Mu coming to report, "Commander, the general wants you to go to the main city to see him after you return."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen nodded and said to Xue Mo, "You guys wait here first."

He went straight to the main city.

In the conference room, he saw Long Yandao.

"This subordinate pays respects to the general," Lin Chen said, cupping his fist.

"You're here, sit down."

Long Yandao waved his hand, and a map made of spiritual energy appeared on the table. He began, "This time, being able to form an alliance with the elves, obtain the Red Pine Forest, and capture Sanhekou has given us more hope of reaching the top three. You deserve great credit. I have already sent a report to the Imperial City, informing the King and the Council of your achievements... If there are no accidents, you will soon be promoted to Seventh-Class Earl."

Lin Chen only learned after arriving at the Imperial City that the Dragon Spirit Kingdom's peerage, from Earl upwards, was divided into nine classes.

This was also to facilitate rewarding those who had made contributions.

The King and the Council would definitely reward Lin Chen for his contributions this time.

Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives for the country in the future?

However, Lin Chen was already an Earl.

Directly promoting him to Marquis was obviously impossible.

Lin Chen's Loyal Earl title was a Ninth-Class Earl.

Although it had a title, the rank was still the lowest.

Now, Long Yandao said that Lin Chen could be promoted to Seventh Class, which was already a leap.

"I must thank the Duke Protector for his cultivation."

Lin Chen was also good at saying polite things.

"If I could cultivate a disciple like you, that would be great!"

Long Yandao smiled, "Lin Chen, now that you've become famous in one battle, there's something I can tell you... Let's talk about the war situation first! Look, this is Sanhekou, and behind it is the Flying Tiger clan's hinterland. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, not a good direction for an offensive. Therefore, we and the elves plan to divide our forces, attacking one route each. We plan to go north, and the territory in the south will be handed over to the elves."

"I have no objections."

Lin Chen immediately expressed his stance.

Lin Chen didn't want to interfere in strategic decisions.

He would just be a vanguard, free and easy.

"Good, then after you return, immediately lead your troops, as well as the two units of the Harder brothers, to Sanhekou to prepare for an offensive to the north. The remaining soldiers will be stationed in various locations."

Long Yandao explained the battle plan and then put away the map, but he spoke to Lin Chen about another matter, "There's another matter. After this battle, the God City Ruins may open! God Cities exist in every battlefield and are under the jurisdiction of the God Temple. Every time the God City Ruins open, all members in the top one hundred of the potential list will be able to enter. I think this is definitely an opportunity for you."

"God City Ruins..."

Lin Chen asked, "What's inside?"

"I've only been in once, but the ruins in each battlefield are different. But I want to tell you that going once will definitely bring huge gains... but it's also very dangerous."

Long Yandao said, "Although the activities organized by the God Temple will have God Temple envoys to protect the safety of all personnel on the way to the God City, mutual killing is allowed within the ruins. If you go alone, you may encounter danger. Of course, danger and opportunity coexist, it depends on how you weigh them!"

Hearing Long Yandao say that the rewards in the God City Ruins were very generous, Lin Chen had already made up his mind. He said, "I still have some Blue Star people here. I want to send them back, but I don't know if I'll have time to go to the God City Ruins."

"If you want to go, I can send troops to send them back."

Long Yandao continued, "Currently, you should focus on quickly improving your strength. On the Imperial Battlefield, strength represents everything!"

"Then I'll have to trouble the Duke Protector... I can go to the ruins after the battle is over."

Lin Chen said that he was willing to go.

And he wasn't afraid of danger.

With Lin Chen's speed, he was confident that as long as he wanted, no one could catch him.

So, Lin Chen should be able to go to this ruin.

"Then it's settled. I will have people at the peak of Second Transfer escort them back, so you don't have to worry at all."

Long Yandao gave Lin Chen another reassurance.

In fact, Xue Mo and the others could stay on the Imperial Battlefield.

But it just didn't fit the rules of the Guardian Dragon Army.

In addition, Xue Mo and the others had only just reached level 150. If they stayed here, they could only be cannon fodder.

Long Yandao certainly knew that the people Lin Chen had spent so much effort to save weren't meant to be cannon fodder.

Lin Chen returned to the base.

Soon, a Second Transfer unit came and took Xue Mo and the others away.

At the time of parting, Lin Chen instructed Xue Mo, "When you arrive in Tianyue City, join the decision-making team directly, replace Liu Mengyao as the deputy city lord, and let Mengyao focus on cultivating with the Light Saintess clan."

"Will they believe what I say?" Xue Mo said that without any proof, how could she explain it when she returned?

"Don't worry, I'll write you a sentence and you can take it back."

Lin Chen actually still had the Tianyue City Lord's seal, just stamp it.

But Zhang Chunlin recognized Lin Chen's handwriting.

So, stamping it or not didn't matter.

Zhang Chunlin certainly knew that this was his intention.

So, it wasn't necessary.

Xue Mo and the others left.

"Ni Chang, I'm going to the God City Ruins in a few days. I might not be able to take care of you then. Why don't you go back too?" Lin Chen asked Jian Ni Chang beside him.

"Ah? I... I don't want to!"

Jian Ni Chang immediately refused.

Lin Chen didn't force her. When the Harder brothers came with their troops, Lin Chen announced that they would go to Sanhekou to garrison.

Late at night, Sanhekou.

The Dragon Spirit Kingdom's camp had been set up.

At night, Lin Chen had just chatted with the Harder brothers for a while and made some arrangements for tomorrow's battle. Then Lin Chen returned to his command tent.

But as soon as he entered, he only found a bed.

Jian Ni Chang was already lying on it.

"Sword Master!" Jian Ni Chang said.

Lin Chen was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly, "Ni Chang, you rest, I'll squeeze in with Jin Hu."

Jian Ni Chang quickly said, "Sword Master, I want to sleep with you."

"Ah?"

Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

Jian Ni Chang was still a little girl.

The key was that she was especially pure.

Lin Chen wasn't not a man, but he wasn't a beast either, so he naturally couldn't agree to such a thing casually.

"Can't I?"

Jian Ni Chang tilted her head and said with her small mouth, "If I can sleep with the Sword Master, I can absorb the sword intent from the Sword Master... Sword Master, don't worry, I won't steal your sword intent, it's just that your sword intent can influence me, so that my sword intent can also become more refined."

Her explanation was a bit convoluted.

But Lin Chen still understood...

So, his sword intent could influence her?

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

How was the Primordial Sword Spirit born?

A natural sword spirit!

Born from sword intent.

And what about the Sword Servant?

The Sword Servant was the Primordial Sword Spirit's companion.

Born to accompany.

And now, the Primordial Sword Spirit had left.

The Sword Heart had been passed down to Lin Chen.

Jian Ni Chang, this Sword Servant, could motivate the Sword Heart to help Lin Chen comprehend sword intent.

So what about Jian Ni Chang herself?

"So, you influence the Sword Heart to help me, and then I rely on the Sword Heart to comprehend sword intent, and your sword intent will increase as my sword intent increases..." Lin Chen smiled, "What is this, a cycle?"

"It seems like that," Jian Ni Chang nodded.

"Okay!"

Lin Chen no longer refused.

But at this time, a voice sounded, "Tch, she's just a little girl, and you're really embarrassed to agree!"

Moyi!

Lin Chen lifted the curtain of the command tent.

Under the moonlight, Moyi, who usually wore dark clothes, had changed into a white dress tonight. Coupled with her elven beauty, she looked like an immortal, as if she had walked out of a painting.

Moyi was also carrying a wine壶in her hand.

An elven wine壶.

"Want a drink?" Moyi asked.

Lin Chen thought for a while and replied, "Okay!"

The two of them faced the blood moon and drank across from each other.

"You've heard about it, right? The God City Ruins."

"Yeah!"

"You should be going, after all, you're already qualified, but I haven't made the list yet! Tomorrow, the defending general in the direction we're attacking is Huerdes of the Flying Tiger clan. He's ranked 85th on the Gold榜. As long as I kill him, I should be qualified too."

Moyi said, touched Lin Chen's glass, and then smiled, "Aishe and I will both go to the God City Ruins. If I see you inside, you have to be careful of me."

"I think Princess Moyi, do you have some prejudice against me?"

Lin Chen said unhappily, "Why can't we cooperate sincerely in the ruins and win together? Do we have to fight each other?"

"Have you forgotten what you did to me?"

Moyi said that she was very vengeful.

She still remembered some things.

Soon, a pot of wine was finished.

Elven wine...

How should I put it? It tasted light.

Lin Chen wasn't drunk.

"I'm going back." Moyi stood up and left.

"Princess, walk slowly, I won't see you off."

Lin Chen greeted and returned to the camp.

After thinking about it, he still lay down beside Jian Ni Chang, who was already asleep.

Strangely, Lin Chen really saw a wonderful sword intent flowing between himself, Taigu Tianji, and Jian Ni Chang that night.

And it was continuous.

But when he woke up the next day, this sword intent had disappeared.

Lin Chen felt incredibly wonderful.

Sensing his sword qi again, it was indeed a bit more refined.

Lin Chen felt very good.

Jian Ni Chang was the same. She stretched out a finger, and a small sword formed by sword qi leaped onto her fingertip.

"Sword Master, look!"

At this moment, she smiled like a child.

However, the cruel war soon came.

The Stele Forest!

This was the Flying Tiger clan's war zone.

As long as they took this place, the Flying Tiger clan would lose another three points.

And the Dragon Spirit Kingdom would gain three more points.

In this way, the ranking of the Imperial Battlefield would change.

The Immortal Spirit clan was still in the lead with 150 points.

But the Dragon Spirit Kingdom would rise to second place with 92 points!

The Flying Tiger clan was in third place with 89 points.

But their lead over the Elf clan was only three points left.

And they would face a joint offensive from the Elf and Human clans next.

Above the void, the airships of War King Alkis and Duke Protector Long Yandao had joined together.

On the opposite side were the Flying Tiger clan's powerhouses.

Many Second Transfer powerhouses from both sides had also gathered on the airships to confront each other.

At this time, Long Yandao was easily sipping tea. He said to Alkis, "Relax, they're just some tigers with wings, with us working together, are we afraid of them? Just ask, do they dare to make a move?"

Obviously, Long Yandao was provoking them.

But Hu Pao didn't fall for it.

Because at this time, he was the only powerhouse at the peak of Third Transfer in the Flying Tiger clan.

There were two on the opposite side.

If a full-scale war really broke out, then the Flying Tiger clan would not just lose two war zones so easily.

It was very likely that they would be directly destroyed!

This was an unbearable burden.

Now Hu Pao could only endure, and he had already sent people back to call for support.

At least, two more Third Transfer peaks!

That would be the strongest combat power.

"In this battle, rely entirely on the middle army, no Second Transfer or above will take action, how about it?" Hu Pao asked.

"I have no problem."

Alkis immediately agreed.

Long Yandao secretly cursed that this guy was too impatient, why didn't he tease Hu Pao a little more?

"Okay, our Human clan also agrees," Long Yandao had to say.

So, the battle officially began.

Lin Chen had just deployed the attacking formation.

Then, a voice resounded throughout the world.

"Elf clan princess Moyi, kills Huerdes, ranked 85th on the Gold榜!"

Good heavens!

What a fast speed!

It had only just started, and it was almost a second kill?

Moyi was also very strong.

Lin Chen estimated that Huerdes might not have been on guard and was stealthily approached from behind by Moyi, and then directly killed with a set of combos.

Unexpectedly, this princess of the Elf clan was quite competitive.

Ranked 85th on the Gold榜, so she directly killed him to prove her strength and get a ticket to enter the ruins?

Interesting...

Next, Lin Chen's gaze turned to the battlefield in front of him.

The battle had begun!

"Sword Master, can Ni Chang join the battle?"

Jian Ni Chang asked.

She was now in the middle of First Transfer.

Her soul realm was in the middle of the Divine Disciple realm.

Moreover, Lin Chen had given her his set of level 120 equipment last time, and also made her a handmade nine-star First Transfer weapon. Three legendary-level pets were also arranged for her.

Now Jian Ni Chang's single attribute wasn't weaker than some ordinary early Second Transfer powerhouses.

"Go, be careful!"

Lin Chen nodded.

Then, Jian Ni Chang also entered the battle formation.

At this time, Lin Chen opened his hands, "Come out, my partners!"

Swish!

The Flying Rat appeared.

Then it was the Snow Woman.

Finally... a crisp bird call sounded.

*Kunshan yu sui fenghuang jiao* (The jade of Kunshan is shattered, and the phoenix cries).

The Vermillion Bird appeared!

Group battle!

Lin Chen's three pets all had a use for it!

Today's update is complete!

So sleepy, going to sleep.
