Chapter 561 Inquiry
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, the two of them heard faint exclamations coming from outside: "What are those things? Above Anzhi City? Why is it so dark over there?"
"Is it a dark cloud? But it doesn't look like one. Dark clouds aren't this dark, are they? And it looks like that thing is heading this way."
"Are we still going to the drill ground for training?"
Ye Qing'an had already lifted the curtain and gone out.
It was already broad daylight outside. Ye Qing'an looked towards Anzhi City and indeed saw a large black cloud hovering above the city...
It doesn't look like dark clouds.
Ye Qing'an thought to himself, if he really had to find a word to describe what was in the sky above Anzhi City...
That thing looked more like an enormous black cloth, a pitch-black expanse, like a cloth covering the sky above Anzhi City.
But... it doesn't seem like cloth.
The bugle call was still ringing in the camp, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly ran towards the drill ground: "Quick, let's assemble at the drill ground first. No matter what happened, we just need to assemble at the drill ground first."
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the black object, and she paused for a while before following it and running towards the training ground.
On the training ground, many soldiers were already standing in neat rows. In front of the training ground, the Crown Prince, Liu Enze, and several generals in armor were also present.
However, almost simultaneously, everyone's attention was drawn to the thing in the sky above Anzhi City.
The black, cloth-like object was indeed moving this way. However, in the time it took Ye Qing'an to walk from the camp to the training ground, the edge of the object had already passed through the city gate of Anzhi City.
"Have any reports come back from the scouts ahead? Have they found out what that thing is?"
"Your Highness, the scouts have not yet returned."
"Useless." The crown prince's expression was somewhat irritable: "It's been so long, and he still can't find out even this little bit."
Ye Qing'an's expression shifted slightly, and she stepped forward: "Your Highness, this humble woman is willing to go and investigate the situation on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince."
All eyes fell on Ye Qing'an. The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice becoming a little gentler: "We don't know what that thing is yet, but whatever it is, it's most likely a conspiracy by the rebels. Qing'an, you don't need to go and risk your life. Just stay in the camp."
“It is precisely because we still do not know what that thing is that Your Highness should send me to investigate. After all, I am a Supreme Being and I am fast. If I go to investigate now and return with the information, the scouts may not even be able to return.”
"Furthermore, as a supreme being, I can protect myself to the greatest extent possible should any situation arise."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he took two steps forward and lowered his voice slightly: "His Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived at this camp. If the rebels start trouble and cause trouble at this time, this will be the first battle His Highness the Crown Prince has fought here."
"This first battle is of paramount importance. We can only win, we cannot afford to lose."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince makes a mistake in this battle and loses, then..."
The rest, the Crown Prince could almost guess without Ye Qing'an even having to finish speaking…
He was sent by his father, the emperor, to quell the rebellion. Moreover, the leader of the rebels was his younger brother. If he lost this battle, he would probably find it difficult to hold his head high in front of his father, or even in the court.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince couldn't help but clench his teeth: "Alright, go and see what that thing is. But you must be careful. If things don't look good, don't confront them head-on. Just come back and we'll discuss a plan."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled into a smile. Today was only her first day at the camp, and the Crown Prince had already sent her out to gather information...
Once you start, you can start doing other things. If you can send her to gather intelligence, you can send her to the battlefield, let her make decisions, and let her lead troops...
Ye Qing'an turned her head, channeled her spiritual power, and sped towards Anzhi City.
The Siyou Kingdom's army camp was backed by a semi-circular mountain range, separated from Anzhi City by a vast dense forest.
Ye Qing'an flew from the air towards Anzhi City, observing the terrain below and keeping an eye on the garrison situation of the two armies below.
Soon, Ye Qing'an gradually approached Anzhi City. Below, flags that did not belong to the Siyou Kingdom's army began to appear. Ye Qing'an saw that the flags only had a complex totem drawn on them, which probably represented the rebel army.
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, still unable to see what exactly was shrouding the sky above Anzhi City.
But Ye Qing'an had already heard the sound...
The sound was like the call of birds similar to crows, and it seemed like there were many birds, their calls almost overwhelming.
Ye Qing'an couldn't tell what it was, but could only vaguely guess that it was a bird.
Below, some of the rebels had already noticed Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an saw that some of them had already set off signal fireworks, seemingly sending a signal to Anzhi City.
However, Ye Qing'an was faster, and after flying a distance, she could see clearly.
It is indeed a bird...
Countless, densely packed birds, arranged in neat rows, flapped their wings and circled above Anzhi City, moving outwards as they circled.
It was probably because there were so many birds, and the flock was arranged in a very neat manner, that from a distance it looked like a still black cloth.
What are these birds doing?
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, secretly speculating in his mind, when he suddenly heard a long howl from the direction of Anzhi City.
Ye Qing'an's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "This is bad."
Then she saw the flock of birds that had seemed motionless just moments before, slowly circling and moving towards the edge of the city, suddenly fly towards her...
Countless birds flew towards her.
The scene was so spectacular that Ye Qing'an was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and quickly gathered her spiritual power...
As the wind and snow began to fall, the grass below gradually began to turn white with frost, and the movements of the flock of birds seemed to slow down.
Ye Qing'an didn't know what Yi Moxu was up to, but she knew that making such a scene so early in the morning was definitely not just to send so many birds to her so she could freeze them into ice blocks.
As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, she suddenly saw the birds burst into flames.
No, those aren't real birds.
The firelight illuminated Ye Qing'an's eyes, revealing that those were fake birds made of paper or wood.
The birds, trailing flames, broke through her Snow Condensation spell and flew towards her, trapping her in a sea of fire...
