The system swallowed an eagle before it digested it

After carrying out the rescue in Yemulin, Tang Zheng arranged for [-] elite soldiers to take the wounded and dead bodies and return to Jiangli first.He was worried about the large troops in the rear, fearing that the Yaozu would still have a backup.

Sure enough, things went as Tang Zheng expected, the real purpose of the monster clan's ambush was not the welcoming team of the City Lord's Mansion, but the third prince who came from the imperial capital.

If Prince Tianyuan can be captured, the Eastern Realm will be destroyed without even sending out a single soldier.

With the minimum casualties, in exchange for the maximum benefit.

How could the Golden Snake King give up this good deal?Tang Zheng thought that what he could think of, the enemy could also think of.

On the way back, Tang Zheng noticed the figure of Yunshuo Iron Eagle circling in the air, racing against time and speeding forward.

Nangong Xiaomeng in her arms shook her head at Tang Zheng, expressing that she was not injured.

Tang Zheng let go, brought Nangong Xiaomeng to the team of luthiers, ordered the luthiers of the Nangong family to protect her, and then launched an attack on the demon army.

More than 2000 soldiers, well-trained, the offensive phalanx is very strong, and it just blocked the Yunshuo Tieying's many dives.

When Jin Bowen saw Tang Zheng's return, the twin axes appeared in his hands, and he began to open and close, fighting the enemy.

Nangong Xiaomeng still insisted on the original plan. If it continues like this, when the enemy reinforcements arrive, they are afraid that their lives will be in danger, so they must not let the situation fall into danger.

The turbulent zither music outlines a huge spider web in the air, and the musical notes similar to patterns gather together to form and begin to drag Yun Shuo Iron Eagle.

"Tang Zheng, cover Your Highness and go first!"

Several generals broke out with all their strength and fought fiercely with the Yaozu. They soon discovered that the number of Yunsuo Iron Eagles was increasing. If this continues, it will be extremely disadvantageous to them.

Worried about the safety of the third prince, the general shouted loudly to Tang Zheng. The third prince, who was hiding in the carriage and anxiously waiting for the end of the battle, immediately got out of the carriage when he heard the word "Tang Zheng".

Without his order, Tang Zheng dared to come back without authorization. This is against the order and must be dealt with by military law.

The furious third prince had just stepped out of the carriage when a cloud shuttle iron eagle of the third-level demon realm swooped down, raised its sharp claws, and slashed across the third prince's body, leaving a bloodstain that was shocking.

"what--"

The third prince let out a scream, and the accumulated anger instantly dissipated and was replaced by pain.

Tang Zheng rushed to the side of the third prince and used "Suppressing Demon Starry Sky" to force Yun Shuo Tie Ying back.

A hundred snakes return to the forest!

The third prince only felt that his body was hanging in the air, his legs were off the ground, and the surrounding scene quickly reversed.

When seeing Tang Zheng, the third prince was astonished: "Why are you? Good! Dare to disobey the military order, believe it or not..."

Before the third prince could finish speaking, a burst of terrifying power directly sent Tang Zheng and the third prince flying a hundred meters away.

The huge Yunsuo iron eagle, with its wings spread out to a height of 70 meters, covered the sky and the sun, and its dark golden monster eyes were fixed on the direction of the third prince.

This Yunsuo iron eagle should be the leader of the demon army, with a terrifying aura, it is actually an eighth-level demon!
【Ding! 】

[Danger ahead, please host to escape as soon as possible. 】

The system was still one step slower, Yunsuo Iron Eagle had already attacked Tang Zheng, its dark golden claws were tearing apart the space, twice as fast as Tang Zheng's mastered space-type swordsmanship.

Under the crisis, Tang Zheng didn't have time to dodge at all, and it was too late to use "Python Extreme Hidden", so he could only forcibly resist this blow.

A colorful light curtain enveloped Tang Zheng, with such tenacity that it blocked an eighth-level demon.

Tang Zheng turned his head to look, seeing that it was Nangong Xiaomeng and more than ten luthiers who rescued him, his heart immediately warmed up.

"Boss, you can get out here!"

Jin Bowen's robe was stained with blood, and he yelled at Tang Zheng. The three hundred soldiers in front, armed with long halberds, erupted with fierce fighting intent, found the weak point of the enemy army, and fought their way out in one go.

The python is extremely hidden!
Tang Zheng didn't hesitate any longer, took the third prince with him, and shouted at all the soldiers: "The whole army obeys the order and retreats!"

Nangong Xiaomeng had been prepared for a long time, and set up a light curtain defense with the luthiers to cover the evacuation of the whole army.

The third prince wanted to say something, but when he saw the overwhelming enemy soldiers, he had no choice but to swallow the words.

If you keep fighting, no one can save him.

Tang Zheng rushed to the forefront, followed by Jin Bowen, followed by the luthiers of the Nangong family and the archers.

The soldiers stood at the end of the line to buy time to escape. When they came to the wild forest, less than half of the two thousand soldiers remained.

The masters of the City Lord's Mansion led the reinforcements to arrive and took the three princes back to Jiangli City.

The gate of the city opened, Jiang Ming, the lord of Jiangli City, had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly ran to the third prince and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"..."

The officials in the Eastern Territory were scattered all around, speaking in unison.

The third prince waved his hand, the injury in his arm was aching, which made his complexion not very good-looking.

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"I didn't think carefully enough to make His Highness suffer. I deserve death!" Jiang Ming continued to kneel without getting up, his expression was full of self-blame, his mulberry appearance, his temples were white, and he was a bit desolate.

The third prince had no intention of blaming him, and after saying a few official words, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Tang Zheng behind him with a vicious look.

"City Master Jiang, ordered someone to throw him into a dungeon. He must be severely punished and dealt with by military law!"

All the officers and soldiers showed shock on their faces, and they were extremely puzzled. If it wasn't for Tang Zheng's decisive decision to lead them out of the siege of the monster clan, they would have suffered even more severe sacrifices.

It's fine if His Highness doesn't reward him, so why should Marshal Tang be punished?This is not very appropriate!

Jin Bowen was in a hurry, just as he was about to speak for Tang Zheng, Nangong Xiaomeng came to the third prince first and said seriously.

"Your Highness, let the merit be paid off, because Tang Zheng saved the lives of so many soldiers, let's forget it this time!"

As soon as Nangong Xiaomeng finished speaking, the soldiers behind him pleaded for Tang Zheng's favor.

Seeing this scene, the third prince suppressed his anger, and if he insisted on going on, the soldiers would probably harbor grudges.

"Since Xiaomeng said so, then it is considered that he has paid off. But... punishment is still necessary. Before leaving, let Tang Zheng guard the west city gate!"

"Let's go!"

The third prince didn't give Nangong Xiaomeng a chance to continue talking, he waved his hand and signaled Jiang Ming to lead the way back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Tang Zheng stepped forward and said to Nangong Xiaomeng: "Thank you!"

Jin Bowen naturally chose to stay, but he couldn't be more angry because the third prince was clearly aiming at them.

Nangong Xiaomeng sighed, and reluctantly followed the Nangong family's team to the City Lord's Mansion first.

On the side of the street, in the restaurant, Jiang Tianfeng laughed out loud, extremely happy.

"Master, Tang Zheng was fined to guard the west gate, should we give some gifts to the soldiers and let them take care of them?"

The man next to Jiang Tianfeng suggested aloud.

"Don't worry, there is plenty of time, go and visit His Highness first!" Jiang Tianfeng sneered, thinking of a plan.

Outside Jiangli City, the frontline battlefield!
Two figures in black robes stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the direction of the Xiao family's army.

The breath of Chen Kangshi's body was more stable than before, and his cultivation had reached the Seventh Realm of Condensation.

Yuan Yi, who was in front of him, also improved a lot, breaking through to the second stage of Concentrating True Reality.

"Master Messenger, Iron-Blooded Wolf Riders are not so easy to break through. Once exposed, it will be difficult to hide."

Chen Kangshi expressed his opinion, not agreeing with Yuan Yi's idea. After joining the Heavenly Wolf Sect, his cultivation has indeed improved rapidly. With his current cultivation, he is naturally dissatisfied with submitting to others.

After hearing this, Yuan Yi sneered, "Who said I'm going to break in? Do you think that there will be no one like us among the Iron-Blooded Wolf Riders?"

"..."
