Jiang Chen went back over the valley . The battle there was over . Dead bodies were everywhere, almost all of them from the Dragon Rebel Army .
Tang Zhengyi came up to Jiang Chen in a hurry before the latter had the time to taste the joy of victory and told him something .
Then Jiang Chen turned ashen . He ran into the valley .
He saw Whitty lying on his stomach on a big rock, looking very weak . He tried to get to his feet at the sight of Jiang Chen, but his limbs were too weak to do so .
"Why did you force yourself so much?!" Jiang Chen reproached him unhappily . Then he cuddled Whitty with pity .
Whitty wasn't injured . In fact, he was safe and sound .
But giving that drop of golden essence blood to Jiang Chen had almost exhausted him, and then he had fought against three troops alone . That was how he had ended up like this .
"You've grown up . You have the nerve to lie to me now, don't you?"
Jiang Chen took out his best recovery panaceas to give Whitty .
However, he found the situation was trickier than he had originally thought . Whitty's body was like a bottomless pit for all those resources .
And they still hadn't helped Whitty recover .
"Why is that?"
Jiang Chen couldn't sit still any more . He put his hands on Whitty's head and body and closed his eyes .
He wore a distressed expression when he opened his eyes . He didn't know what to say .

It turned out that Whitty was in the vital stage of a breakthrough .
It could have been compared to the breakthrough to grand Venerable . Needless to say, it was important .
However, after doing so much for him, Whitty was not only exhausted, but his body was suffering from an energy deficiency .
Even if he gave all of the energy resources he had in the spiritual storage ware to Whitty, it was possible they wouldn't be enough .
And Whitty couldn't even take all of them .
The first idea that Jiang Chen came up with was to deploy a grand formation to take in the essence of the universe, but then he realized they were in the Alien Battlefield .
He ordered Asura to summon numerous low-level demons so that Whitty could absorb them, but it had little effect .
"Dada . . . "
Whitty didn't have the heart to see him coated with sweat due to anxiety .
"You . . . " Jiang Chen couldn't think clearly . Nothing helpful occurred to him .
"General, you need large amounts of resources, don't you?" Tang Zhengyi and the others asked him . They had realized the tricky situation .
"Yep . Do you know any way to get them?"
"The resources were what we were fighting the Dragon Rebel Army for here . Maybe we can help . . . " Tang Zhengyi had no idea what word he should use to describe Whitty .
But Jiang Chen didn't care . He was pleasantly surprised, since he had been reminded of something .
He knew that there was Black Yellow Gas under the basin, which could be used for Whitty .

"Move," Jiang Chen ordered . He took Whitty to the deepest part of the valley and said to him, "I'll deploy a hiding formation and a defense formation . You stay inside . Don't leave . "
Whitty was nervous to hear that . He grasped Jiang Chen's clothes with his sharp paws, unwilling to let the latter go .
"Don't worry . I'll come back . If I stay here, I can do nothing but watch you become weaker and weaker . If you die, we won't see each other anymore, will we?" Jiang Chen said .
Whitty still wasn't willing to let him go . Jiang Chen, looking concerned, had to order him to stay there in a serious tone .
He deployed two fantastic formations in the valley right away . Then he started to act with Tang Zhengyi and the other soldiers .
First, they were going to meet up with the Red Flame Battalion, whose current position was displayed on the lieutenant's token .
"Why did they stop?"
Jiang Chen found the Red Flame Battalion had stopped in the north of the valley, and he was worried about it .
In theory, after the Red Flame Battalion gained back control, the most worrying move would be to return to the valley for a rescue, while the best move would be to head for the seven cities .
However, they had stopped . Jiang Chen was totally confused .
Not until he arrived there with Tang Zhengyi and 100 soldiers did he figure out the reason .
The whole Red Flame Battalion had been caught!
They should have entered the enemy's territory before Qiu Yan got back control of the Cooling Formation .
This had been Jiang Chen's mistake, but fortunately, things weren't too bad .

Lying on their stomachs on a stone mountain, he and Tang Zhengyi were observing a fancy castle built down on the plain earth .
"It's not on the map . "
It wasn't on the map, and it didn't look like a city used to deploy a ward .
The castle was only as big as a manor, but it was extremely resplendent . It looked odd in the desolate Alien Battlefield . If it had been constructed in a place with great mountain and lake views, it would have been perfect .
"General, there aren't many soldiers down there, but there are many guards!" Tang Zhengyi said .
"Guards?"
Jiang Chen had heard the word from Han Siming, but he had no idea what it meant .
"Black Dragon, War Chariot, and Holy Wind are troops stationed abroad, while the guards are under the direct leadership of the Dragon Rebel Army . They aren't sent for unless it's an extremely important battle .
"The Dragon Rebel Army owns 26 guards troops, and they're all stationed in the Realm of True Force . Only a few of them ever leave to perform special tasks . "
Jiang Chen remembered the guards in the Dragon Field, sneering .
After half an hour of observation Jiang Chen found there were only around one hundred guards in the castle!
The thing was, they were all very strong . All of them were in the peak of the Reaching Heaven State .
Even their junior captains were Martial Venerables . Their general was a Spiritual Venerable!
They must be great since they managed to catch the Red Flame Battalion . Although I'm already a Venerable, there are too many of them, Jiang Chen thought to himself .
Tang Zhengyi said, "General, shall we ask the Bright Moon Troop and the Shadow Pursuing Troop to send reinforcements? They would be happy to help . "
"They should be attacking the city right now . "
Patting Tang Zhengyi's shoulder, Jiang Chen said, "If I told you that we shouldn't do anything for the moment and just meet up with the Bright Moon Troop first, what would you say?"
Tang Zhengyi was shocked . He wouldn't leave Commander Qiu Yan there without at least trying to save her .
However, glancing at Jiang Chen, he said, "I believe the general must have a plan . "
"I don't have a plan . Just trying to make a joke to break the ice," Jiang Chen said with a smile . "Before we go to their rescue, I have to ask—which one of you uses a sword?"
. . .
In the picturesque castle, every 15 guards formed a team that walked at the same pace .
Like the guards in the Dragon Field, their whole bodies were fully covered in armor, including their heads .
And with their synchronized movements, in the eyes of the hostage Red Flame Battalion soldiers, they were more like machines than human beings .
"Commander, I didn't know the Dragon Rebel Army had guards in the Alien Battlefield," Wang Qiang said in surprise .
"Yes, they have guards here now . " Qiu Yan was quite calm . She said, "These guards are too few to do anything . I'm guessing they're performing a secret task . "
Suddenly, the patrolling soldiers and those guarding them lifted up their heads and threw their shoulders back . Facing the same direction, they put their right hands on their chests . This was the Dragon Rebel Army's military salute .
Qiu Yan looked over, curious about the owner of the castle . Why had the owner hold them in custody instead of killing them?
Neither the dynasty nor the Dragon Rebel Army had a custom to gather captives before the end of the war .
