Chapter 106 Animal Tide
In the northwest direction of the Nanshan Kingdom, at the border with the Beishan Kingdom, a mountain that is thousands of feet high stands, called the Two Realms Mountain, which means the border between the two countries.
It is said that it is a thousand feet high, but in fact it is just a divisor, and no one is so bored to actually measure it.
However, according to some of the gossips who have climbed the Two Realms Mountains, these Two Realms Mountains are almost different worlds from the foot of the Mountain. The bottom of the mountain is green, as if spring and summer. When you reach the mountain, you will not see the green leaves at the halfway point, and almost all of them are bare tree trunks. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will see that there are all white snow that has not melted for years.
The two world mountains have harsh conditions and harsh environments. Not to mention that humans are difficult to survive, there are not even many wild animals willing to live here.
Liangjie Mountain is the largest mountain in Nanshan Kingdom, but the number of wild animals is smaller than that of other mountains.
About two kilometers outside the Two Realms Mountain, before the array of troops, a general wearing black armor and an iron helmet and a middle-aged man with a long robe and a scribe-like appearance was watching the battlefield in front of him.
I just overwhelmed another wave of shock from the beast, and according to convention, I can rest for two quarters of an hour.
At the battle ahead, there were piles of corpses, bleeding and drifting.
There are corpses of wild animals and corpses of humans.
No one cares about the corpses of wild beasts. On the human side, soldiers were sent to search for the bodies and transported them to the rear for burial.
A person with an officer-like appearance came to report: "General, after the battle just now, one hundred people died, two hundred seriously injured, four hundred slightly injured, and thirty beasts transformed, two thousand arrow branches were consumed, and nine hundred left. The loss of swords and guns has not been fully counted yet. Please tell me!"
The general said: "The dead in battle will be transported to the rear for burial, the seriously injured will be transported to the rear for recuperation, and the slightly injured will be bandaged on the spot and continue to go to the battlefield. The inventory of arrows and swords and guns will be replenished. All soldiers will rest on the spot, stay alert, and prepare to welcome the next wave of the beasts!"
"Yes, general!" The officer retreated and went down to Xuan Guan.
"Sect Master Chen, is there any news coming from over there that will make us retreat? You have also seen that the situation is not optimistic. Whether it is weapons or personnel, the replenishment speed is far less than the consumption speed. Judging from the current situation, it would be good that we can survive today's day." The general asked the middle-aged scholar.
"Oh, this, the sect leader only said that he would hold on for another two days, and he has not yet determined when the exact time..."
"Well," the general sighed, "raising troops for a thousand days is used for a moment. The meaning of our existence is here. As long as the marshal's instructions do not come for a day, we will hold on for a day until the last soldier!"
As he spoke, he could only hear the sound of earth shaking, and the beasts over there attacked again.
Ice bears, tigers, leopards, jackals, wild dogs, and grizzly bears are mixed together, with yellow orioles, woodpeckers, wasps, eagles, and grey eagles on them.
I remember two months ago, I had a local conflict with the wild beasts in the mountains of the two realms, and the wild beasts were still vulnerable at that time.
After only two months, the beasts became so powerful that they could not breathe.
Another point was that they found that these beasts not only had stronger combat power and more resistant to fighting, but also recovered very quickly after being injured.
As long as it is not a fatal injury, go back and repair it for a while and you will basically recover as before.
In contrast, even if a human is injured, it is impossible to recover without three to five days.
One goes up and the other goes down, and they are increasingly unable to compete with the wild beasts.
"Design the formation! Respond to the enemy!"
The general shouted, and the army began to act. The flag bearer raised the flag and waved in the air. The trumpeter blew the trumpet, and the army formed an array, with infantry in front and shooters behind, and the disciples of the Beast Control Sect were mixed in the army, using each method to influence the movement ability of the opponent's beasts.
The two sides met, collided, fought each other in close combat, and fought with their bodies...
The beasts and humans fell in batches, just like straws that were harvested. No one could care about them. The humans and beasts who were still standing stepped on the corpses of similar species and continued to fight in the pool of blood.
...
The same scene was also staged in Fengxiang Mountain in the south and Xiang Mountain in the west.
Only Jiyun Mountain in the middle is slightly better.
In addition to the accident that the backbone of the fake lineage is guarding here, Ruyun Mountain is also located in the central part of Nanshan Country, and logistics supply is more convenient.
Lu Zhen stood on a high ground, observing the battle ahead.
A trench that is about 100 meters wide does not play a big role in the wild beasts. The beast jumps and its agile figure flies over the trench. The trap several meters deep can only slightly stop the beasts' pace. The beast that fell into the trap only stops the trap for a few seconds, then jumps out and joins the battle again.
The heavy sword slashed at the beast's back, and it was stuck when it was only about an inch deep. When the person wanted to pull out the sword, the beast rushed and threw the person to the ground.
The sharp arrows that were quenched with blue venom, and the sharp arrows that were flashing with red fireworks were constantly shooting towards the beast. I remember that at the beginning, these sharp arrows caused the beast to suffer heavy damage, causing the beast to shrink for most of the day, but in just two days, it was not so good.
The beast seemed to be resistant to poison, and the scorching arrows burned into fire red seemed to be no longer afraid of the beast as it was before.
The disciples of the Yufeng Rifting Sect were mixed in the army, either creating strong winds, stagnating the pace of wild beasts, or gathering soil to form stones, like throwing stone shells from a group of wild beasts.
Unfortunately, the smaller stones seem to have no effect on wild beasts with thick skin and flesh. It is like tickling them. Making large stones larger than wild beasts is useful, and it can even knock the beasts out of the air. However, to create such large stones is not only time-consuming, but also labor-consuming. If you can't make a few, you will run out of your strength. Knocking a few wild beasts will not have much impact on the entire battle situation. After all, there are many wild beasts.
The following elders wandered around the battlefield. Their strength should be used on the blade. As the high-level combat power here, every move they had to cause a substantial blow to the beast.
When I saw piles of wild beasts marching, I suddenly pulled out the underground land, trapped the wild beasts into the ground, and then gathered the soil to form stones to seal the wild beasts underground, or solved some ferocious beasts that might disperse our formation, or sneaked into the ground and sneaked into the ground and attacked the beasts archers who fired cold arrows...
The three immortal masters also joined the battle. The immortal master Ci'an seemed to be particularly fond of plants. The potions he had made before could make plants grow quickly on the body and on the land of the beasts. I don't know what method to make her potion fail. The immortal master did not give up. I don't know what method he invented to cause vines to grow under the feet of the beasts to hinder their movements.
Xia Ke seemed to prefer to do something directly. Once he pointed it out, a wild beast would die. Seeing that the beast was powerful and the army could not resist, he threw something out casually. Then he heard a loud bang, and the beast was blown away. Sometimes he would use a relatively gentle method. A spherical thing was thrown out. In an instant, smoke filled the wild beasts. The beast cried and rubbed his eyes, and could not find the north at all.
Compared with these two immortal masters, the immortal master Li Zheng was not enough to see it. He looked here and there, as if he was wandering around... Despite this, Lu Zhen did not dare to look down on it. Although Li Zheng was not good at fighting, there was a gap in his heart...
In contrast, the leader on the beast is a bit too little to see.
On this side, people from the fake lineage and three immortal masters participated in the battle in depth, while the beast leaders there only attacked on the outskirts of the battle.
Of course, there is a reason. These beast leaders have just found the innate qi just now, and they are not skilled in using the innate qi. They are still fighting in the form of ordinary beasts.
Once you go deep into the crowd and be surrounded by powerful figures on human side, it will be difficult to escape.
Although they have found the innate energy, their long-range strike ability is even worse than that of ordinary disciples from the Fuwu Lineage.
...
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Lu Zhen felt sad and proud, but at the same time, he was more confused.
He always feels something is wrong.
But for a moment, I couldn't think of what was wrong.
Immortal Master Li Zheng, who was about to catch a bag of "nothing to do", chatted for a few words and said that he could not inspire him.
Suddenly a soldier rushed over and shouted while running: "Marcedes-Master, something is wrong!"
Lu Zhen frowned and thought to himself, who is his soldier, he can't even say anything.
He said with a dark face: "What big thing is wrong? Don't talk nonsense! What's the matter? Let's talk about it slowly."
"Marson, it's Xiangshan Mountain. The other side of Xiangshan Mountain can't be defended. The wild beasts have broken through the defense line and rushed towards several surrounding cities!"
The sergeant did not care about his fear of the marshal and said sweating profusely. At the same time, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lu Zhen, "This is our handwritten letter from General Sima."
Lu Zhen took the letter and read it from beginning to end.
According to General Sima's letter, the people had about half of the cities around Xiangshan evacuated. He originally wanted to hold on for a few more days to get more time for the people to evacuate, but due to the lack of manpower and weapons, the wild beasts finally broke through the defense line... After discussing with the leader of the Liu Sect, he decided not to defend and withdraw to escort the remaining people.
At the end of the letter, General Sima said that he was entrusted by the Marshal and was willing to accept any punishment. However, now, he urgently needs the Marshal to give instructions on how to act in the future.
At the place where the signature was signed, Liu Dajiang, the leader of the Shuifeng Sect who was guarding Xiangshan with General Sima, also attached his name to express his agreement with General Sima.
After putting the letter in his arms, Lu Zhen pondered for a long time.
Although he had already made a plan to retreat, when this moment finally came, he was still very uneasy.
With this retreat, hundreds of thousands of people will die from the slaughter of wild animals.
"Marson?" Seeing that Lu Zhen didn't say anything, the sergeant urged him. He was still waiting for him to go back and convey the orders.
Lu Zhen came back to his senses and finally stopped hesitating: "Tell General Sima and Sect Master Liu to escort the people and evacuate in an orderly manner. At the same time, tell them that they have worked hard and they are all meritorious ministers of Nanshan Kingdom, and Nanshan Kingdom will not forget them!"
"Yes!" The soldier immediately turned around and left after receiving the order.
Lu Zhen walked slowly down from the high ground and thought to himself, it's almost done. Since Xiangshan has begun to retreat, the other three places will also retreat together.
Chapter completed!
