C328 Block(1)

In the battle of the Hansenberg, old patriarch was severely injured and had been in a coma. His opponent, Auden, was not in any better condition. Not only did he not take back his original territory, but he also lost a lot of soldiers and almost lost his life.

He brought his own army and retreated in a sorry state, thinking about what to do next. The only way now was to retreat to Ivano City and exchange blows with Ginger.

"I still don't know what this guy's current situation is. I hope that he can take back Cinnus as he wishes. This way, we will have more bargaining chips in our hands. However, I believe that the clan has also arranged for people there, and they will definitely not have a better life than me. The worst possibility is that the two of them didn't take back their original territory, but at least there's still a big city to defend." Thinking of this, Auden increased his speed, hoping to regroup with Ginger as soon as possible. Of course, he wasn't afraid that ___ would kill him in the dark, because it would be a huge loss for him if he lost one of his men.

Fortunately, he didn't suffer a great loss in the battle just now. He only lost three of his men, and no one was injured. However, these were the few experts he had! Now, the combined strength of the two of them might not even be as strong as before.

But would the two of them return to Ivano so smoothly?

Not long after Auden left Hansenberg, Qingtian had just returned from his visit to Gordon and Bryan. He was very satisfied with their performance. Although both of them were seriously injured, according to their words, Ginger didn't feel good either. He wouldn't be able to recover for a period of time.

However, what concerned Qingtian the most was the safety of Hansenberg. After all, Ginger had only brought half of his men with him. Auden, on the other hand, attacked with all his men. Although old patriarch's strength was outstanding and he had a large number of Elders with him, however, they were all single experts and rarely experienced war.

Auden was different. He was someone who faced Devil Beast all year round. Hansenberg was also famous because of its military might. Fortunately, his side was defending the city. As long as there were no big mistakes, there would be no problems. However, the one that Tian Qingtian, who had rushed over after a long journey, saw was the unconscious old patriarch lying on the bed.

"What's going on?" Tian Qingtian asked the elders beside him with a gloomy face.

"Family, patriarch... old patriarch..." They were so scared by Tian Qingtian's expression that they didn't dare to speak, because Tian Qingtian had repeatedly warned them. They had to protect the Hansenberg while ensuring their safety. However, the situation at that time was too intense, and they didn't have the ability to intervene. old patriarch was the leader of these people. Who could stop him?

"Speak!" A cold snort made them not dare to speak. What a joke. Who had not seen the Patriarch's iron-blooded methods? Although he usually treated everyone well and often guided them on their martial path, but now that he was angry, who dared to say anything?

Finally, a young elder who often followed Qingtian spoke. "Patriarch, this is what happened. At that time, Auden rushed over with a few of his capable subordinates. He tried to use his powerful hands to attack and destroy the defense of the city wall. This way, the soldiers behind can charge up. old patriarch brought us to block him, but who would have thought that the battle between the two of them would be so intense? No one could interfere. Besides, we also have our own opponents. In the end, the two of them actually started to lose their lives. And it ended up like this." After saying this, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tian Qingtian.

" Ai! "Tian Qingtian let out a long sigh. He also understood old patriarch's good intentions. He just wanted to leave Auden here to relieve the pressure on him. However, his willful way of doing things would make it very difficult for him. In the future, he might need a strong assistant for a long time.

Looking at the elders around him, Qingtian made a firm decision. "You guys take good care of him. Also, you must guard this place. In case the other party attacks again. It's not your fault this time. "

Seeing that the patriarch was not angry, everyone no longer felt nervous. One of the bolder ones even took the initiative to tell them about Auden's situation, because the place where he was fighting was the closest to the two of them. Therefore, he told them the details of their battle.

After a long while, Qingtian, who had been thinking for a while, said slowly, "Does this mean that Auden is also seriously injured? It can be said that the two of them didn't get any benefits. It's just that he hastily led his men to retreat. It can be said that he is at the end of the strongbow." It seemed that there was still a pleasant surprise. Since that was the case, the two of them would be easier to deal with.

"That's right, Lord Patriarch. It can be said that it might be difficult for Auden to deal with us now." That man boldly came to a conclusion.

"Humph, okay. You guys have worked hard. Remember what I told you." With a sneer on his face, Qingtian turned around and left.

Although Auden didn't fall in the end, it was only limited to the fact that he didn't fall. His injuries weren't much lighter than old patriarch's. It was just that he still had so many subordinates that he needed to retreat with. He couldn't fall down just like that, so he endured it and left. Soon, he couldn't hold on any longer.

A few important subordinates did not dare to make a sound, afraid that the news of the City Lord's fall would spread and disturb the morale of the army. Along the way, everyone carefully led him away, but one day later... Auden miraculously woke up, and his injuries seemed to have recovered quite a bit. Apart from being very weak, he didn't suffer any serious injuries.

Everyone was surprised by this, and this action encouraged them even more.

However, only Auden himself knew that although his injuries had healed, he had paid a great price for it.

In fact, the excess of Auden's energy wasn't because of his illness, but because of his own secret technique. Auden was different from others. He had a secret that he had two secret techniques! This was very rare on the continent, and only he himself knew about it.

One was the powerful light that could be seen when he fought old patriarch, and the other was rebirth. It was because of these two secret techniques that he had some excess energy to vent.

Regeneration was the regrowth of the dead tissue caused by injuries, which could be fully recovered in a short period of time. Of course, it was impossible for him to be full of energy all of a sudden. He needed to rest for a period of time.

However, his regeneration was not unconditional. It required his own life as the price. In other words, every time he used the secret technique, his own life would be shortened by a considerable amount. Therefore, Auden would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. He had only used it twice in his life. This was the third time.

When he used the secret technique, he could clearly feel that his injuries were healing rapidly, but his life was rapidly slipping away. In other words, if an ordinary Devil Clan had a lifespan of several hundred years, especially an expert like him... More so extending life. However, Auden himself only had a lifespan of about two hundred years. He didn't know what would happen after using it this time.

However, the current situation couldn't be delayed. He had to recover his body in the fastest time possible. Otherwise, he would become his opponent's food and drink. As long as he met up with Ginger smoothly, there was still a glimmer of hope. However, if they dragged this body with them, the people of the Hansenberg might not be able to stop them even if they chased after them. Furthermore, if Ginger had any ulterior motives and intended to kill him... It wouldn't be that easy either.

The speed of their march was very fast, because everyone knew that they would have to stay here for a while longer. The more dangerous it was, the more dangerous it would be. Another day passed, and they actually caught up to Ginger, who was also retreating. The two of them met at the intersection between Ivano and Ohring's forces.

After meeting, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but it was clear that they had a helpless smile on their faces. Since they met here, it also meant that the two of them had failed to reclaim their forces. Their last hope had been shattered. Now, they could only return to Ivano to discuss further.

Ginger's injuries weren't light either, but it was obvious that he hadn't met someone on the same level as old patriarch. Auden was really afraid that the new patriarch would invite Old Man Chrysanthemum to guard the city. If that was really the case, Ginger might not be able to come back.

After the conversation, the two of them had a clear understanding of the current situation. Apart from Ivano, all the territories in the south were basically occupied by the patriarch. In addition to the cooperation between him and Chrysanthemum, the north should also be under his control. In other words, the only way out now was the Ivano City. They could only quietly hide there. Waiting for the opponent's attack. Because both of them had lost a lot of energy, so they had to rest.

After thinking of a plan, without any hesitation, the two groups began to follow the route and continue south, striving to rush back as soon as possible.

After another day, they were only about a day's journey away from Ivano City. However, they had to stop because they found a very dangerous signal ahead - a melodious flute sound was heard.
