Chapter 264 Entering the City
Upon hearing Qin Lang's voice, Li Jie rubbed his slightly dizzy head and looked up at the vanguard general, whose face was filled with excitement.
"What's the matter?"
"Just now in the mountain valley, the immortal left in a hurry, and we have not yet thanked him for saving our lives."
After speaking, Qin Lang led all the soldiers of the Tianlang Vanguard Army to jump off their horses and bow deeply in the direction where Li Jie was standing.
"Thank you Immortal for saving your life!"
"Thank you so much, immortal, for saving my life!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie waved his hand without replying.
Actually, rescuing them was just a convenient thing to do; his original purpose in going to the ravine was to seek the truth behind the dream cycle, otherwise...
He died eighty-eight times in vain.
Seeing that Li Jie did not show any anger, Qin Lang mustered up his courage and walked to his side, asking softly.
"May I ask if the immortal has any brothers?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie knew that Qin Lang might have discovered that his appearance was exactly the same as that of the golden-armored general in the city.
However, the latter's strength was not as terrifying as Li Jie's, so Qin Lang easily judged that he was not his prince.
"No."
"That's strange... How could there be two people in the world who look so alike?"
As soon as Qin Lang murmured to himself, he immediately sensed something was wrong, because he noticed that Li Jie was looking at him with a strange expression.
"Immortal, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that your appearance is too similar to my prince's."
"If the immortal has nothing to do recently, would you be willing to come into the city with me? I will truthfully report to my lord, and let my Heavenly Wolf Army do its duty as hosts."
After saying that, Qin Lang looked at Li Jie with hopeful eyes.
He did not refuse, but simply nodded slightly, indicating that Qin Lang should lead the way.
after all.......
If we want to return to the real world, the key might lie with that so-called prince.
Seeing this, Qin Lang smiled and gestured forward, leading Li Jie toward the north gate of Tianlang City.
...........
After walking for about an hour, the magnificent city gate reappeared before Li Jie and his companions.
"Immortal, this is the northernmost pass of my Tianlang City, and it is also the most important natural barrier against the invasion of alien beasts."
As they walked, Qin Lang continued to introduce things to Li Jie.
Hearing this, Li Jie nodded slightly. In fact, it was clear from the defenses that the number of archers and grenadiers here was more than ten times that of the inner city in the center.
In the previous cycles, if it weren't for the fact that the shapeshifting beasts disguised themselves as the Sirius Army and easily evaded the investigation, they would have been able to escape detection.
The inner city wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
"Sirius Army, follow me into the city!"
As Qin Lang's voice faded, the soldiers guarding the city promptly lowered the drawbridge spanning the moat.
Seeing the army return in triumph, the soldiers on the city wall all raised their arms and shouted.
"Immortal, the city gate leads to Tianlang City. Please come with me to the inner city first. After meeting the prince, I will take you to your residence."
"I have a question."
"Please tell me."
"What mission are you undertaking outside the city?"
"........"
Upon hearing Li Jie's question, Qin Lang was momentarily at a loss for words, as this was an internal secret of their Sky Wolf Army.
But...
Li Jie was their savior, so it wouldn't be right not to give a reasonable explanation...
Now, he was a little undecided.
"My lord, may I inform the prince first? After all, this is a military secret... What do you think?"
After much hesitation, he decided to share his concerns.
Hearing this, Li Jie didn't insist any further, nodded, and walked into the city.
Qin Lang saw that Li Jie was heading in the direction of the inner city, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
Could it be that... the immortal had visited the city before?
Having no clue what to do, Qin Lang could only follow Li Jie toward the inner city. In any case, if the immortals had any ill intentions, they would have died in that mountain valley long ago.
If he harbored any disloyal intentions, they, as remnants of a defeated army, would be utterly incapable of stopping him. With this in mind, Qin Lang simply put all his doubts aside.
Whether this person has a problem or not, let the prince decide.
"Please, Immortal."
Another half hour passed before the triumphant Sirius Army arrived outside the inner city's encampment. Apart from Li Jie, Qin Lang, and the adjutant, the remaining surviving members of the Sirius Vanguard Army stayed there to rest temporarily.
It was still that familiar inner city, but the defenses here were much stricter than before.
A group of guards came to investigate at the city gate.
Seeing this, Li Jie suddenly felt that the previous eighty-eight cycles were all fake.
That's more like it...
As they drew closer, the soldiers guarding the city spotted the three people walking into the inner city.
"Who goes there, and what brings you here?!"
"Qin Lang, a second-rank red-armored general of the Tianlang Vanguard Army, along with his deputy and the Savior Immortal, requests an audience with Your Highness."
A savior?
Hearing Qin Lang's address, not only the city guards but even Li Jie were stunned.
I just happened to save some soldiers, how did I become a savior...?
The guards reacted even more strongly than Li Jie; they even began to suspect that this vanguard who was heading into the Three Thousand Mountains to search for the true dragon had lost his mind.
They randomly grabbed a strangely dressed, white-haired boy and brought him to the capital as a savior to swindle and deceive people.
"His Highness is not feeling well today, please leave."
Bringing their thoughts back, the city guards did not hesitate to issue an order to leave.
In his view, immortals and such were nonsense; if they wanted to resist the siege of the strange beasts, they had to rely on themselves.
After being turned away, Qin Lang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
These gatekeepers are really out of touch with reality.
"You want to stop me?"
"It's not that I'm stopping you, you can certainly go in if you want, it's just..."
"You cannot bring this immortal in."
have to.
This time, Li Jie saw clearly that the guards at the gate were only stopping him.
But he didn't want to get too entangled with these soldiers, because there were still many things in the real world that he needed to do.
Pulling himself back to reality, Li Jie gave Qin Lang a look.
He gestured for the latter to go in first and then talk.
