On the 24th day of the 12th month of the Nanshan calendar, under the order of the national teacher Lu Zhen, the four major mountains, two realms, the two realms of the Nanshan Kingdom, Xiangshan, Fengxiangshan, and the defenders who entered Yunshan were evacuated.

Overnight, more than thirty cities fell.

The beasts in the four mountains rushed toward everywhere like floods, embarking on the road that only humans could walk, and entering the towns that once only humans could live.

The farmland cultivated by humans is trampled on by wild animals, and the livestock raised by humans becomes the food of wild animals, and the home that humans have been operating for a long time has become the nest of wild animals.

Some people who had no time to evacuate or were reluctant to evacuate their hometowns were tragically slaughtered by wild beasts.

The mountains and fields were full of wild beasts running. Some people who survived by chance looked around in panic, but found that there was no way out. They could only bite their tongues and commit suicide, or take a rope and hang themselves on branches.

Some people were scared crazy and could not escape the bloody mouth of wild beasts, but they also avoided the fear before death.

Perhaps it was only then that these people realized that the threat of wild beasts mentioned by the court was not groundless and did not exaggerate it.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret.

...

Most people are lucky.

Under the fierce attack of wild beasts, the defenders of each mountain held on for seven days, winning valuable time for the evacuation of the people of each city.

Under the leadership of the lords of each city, most of the people retreated to the rear cities.

When the defenders of each mountain retreated, they took away some of the people.

In total, about 80% of the people evacuated safely.

As for the remaining two layers...

With the arrival of the people in the towns ahead, several nearby cities in the rear were overcrowded and in short supply.

There are people who hoard goods, some who make profits at high prices, and some who take advantage of the situation.

For a moment, the public security of these cities became chaotic. Lu Zhen, who was busy thinking about strategies to deal with wild beasts, had to divide a part of the army to help several cities maintain order.

Of course, some people heard about the war ahead and thought that the city they were in was not safe. After selling their property, they dragged their families to evacuate further back, which slightly relieved some pressure on several cities.

...

In a camp outside the Acropolis, Lu Zhen sat cross-legged at the table, reading a mountain of books.

It is impossible to say that you do not interfere in the government affairs now.

As the king of the king appointed him as the national teacher a few days ago, more letters appeared on his desk, some from ministers from the court, and some from local officials from all over the country.

Some people expressed their loyalty, some analyzed the situation, and recommended themselves. Of course, some people expressed doubts about his retreat and wrote letters to scold him.

Overall, there is little voice to object.

In fact, Lu Zhen himself was still satisfied with this retreat.

Although some people died and some land was lost, they were all within acceptable limits.

The beast is powerful and always has to pay some price.

Of course, the people who were most dissatisfied with this evacuation should be the people who failed to evacuate. It is obvious that their voices could not be reached by Lu Zhen...

After reading the book for a while, Lu Zhen was a little confused and was about to take a break at his desk, when a voice came from the door: "National Master, Master Li Xian asked for a meeting."

When Lu Zhen heard this, he was excited and stood up to greet him at the door.

The two entered the inner room and talked about their future responses.

Among the four mountains, the Two Realms Mountain, Fengxiang Mountain, and Xiangshan Mountain are all on the frontier. It’s nothing to abandon a few cities. Only by entering Yunshan Mountain is located in the middle of the Nanshan Kingdom, and not far behind is the capital that is irreversible.

After abandoning several cities such as Jiangyin City, the capital was left with only a small barrier of the Acropolis, and some ministers in the court had already proposed to move the capital.

It is impossible to move the capital, and abandoning the previous cities is already Lu Zhen’s bottom line.

If the capital is moved, it will be easier for the Nanshan Kingdom to lose its fighting spirit and fall into a state of poverty.

Of course, it also concerns the face of the sect leader Lu Zhen.

Since it is impossible to move the capital, we can only guard against it and not let the beasts take another step forward.

Some ministers also proposed to withdraw the northern defenders and return to the capital, but were also rejected by Lu Zhen.

There is a tiger and wolf country like Jingguo in the north. If the defenders are withdrawn, wouldn’t it mean that the country’s door has been opened to Jingguo?

Li Zheng agreed with this.

In fact, Li Zheng advocated that not only should the defenses not be withdrawn from the north, but the focus of defense should be placed on the north.

"Huh?" Lu Zhen was a little confused. Although he did not agree to give up the defense of the north, he felt that the defense of the beasts here was equally important.

Li Zhengdao: "National Master, I am not saying that the defense here is not important, but because, I think the beasts here no longer pose much threat to us."

"It no longer poses a great threat? The beasts are coming in full force and may not be satisfied with the cities we abandoned."

Li Zheng smiled slightly and said, "The national teacher has too heavy burden on his shoulders and cannot see the situation clearly. Compared with us humans, the wild beasts are disorganized. Now that we have abandoned so many cities, they are afraid that they will not be happy all over the mountains and fields. Of course, it is extremely ferocious and difficult to defeat them. Now that the wild beasts are scattered everywhere, how much threat can they pose to us?"

Lu Zhen lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "The Immortal Master is awesome."

Li Zhengdao: "The national teacher is too good, but the bystanders are just clear. In addition, there is another thing to talk to the national teacher."

Lu Zhen said: "Is the Immortal Master talking about the strange people? I have arranged this matter, so the Immortal Master doesn't have to worry too much."

Li Zhengdao: "Besides this, there is another thing."

Lu Zhen: "One more thing?"

Li Zhengdao: "Yes, during this period, I have always felt that it is wrong when I observed it on the battlefield. The fake thing lineage is the primitive, but on the battlefield, I always feel that we still rely too much on our own strength and have not brought out the essence of this fake word."

"The essence of fake characters? Does the immortal master refer to those strange and lewd techniques?" Lu Zhen is worthy of being the leader of the fake characters lineage. When Li Zheng mentioned it, he immediately reacted.

Li Zhengdao: "Yes, when I first arrived in Yunshan, I saw an old man named Leng. He didn't know what props he could use to keep flying in the air. If I was right, he was originally from the fake lineage, right?"

Lu Zhen said: "Yes, his name is Leng Feng. He was originally an elder of my fake lineage. He has a high affinity for the wind. Unfortunately, he was obsessed with flying and became obsessed with it. Not only did he turn himself into a human, ghost or ghost, but his temperament changed drastically, which hurt many of our disciples. I had no choice but to drive him out of the sect. Who knew that this guy actually entered the camp of wild beasts..."

"In fact, in addition to Leng Feng, there are other people in our fake lineage that are too devoted to practicing and mutating. Some can barely save them, while others can only kill them with pain... Although my fake lineage uses fake characters as its sect, it has strict restrictions on disciples and is not allowed to be too involved in various strange techniques and tricks to avoid mutation."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Master National Master, are you choking? People are choking when eating. Is it the food fault? How can you waste food because of this? At worst, you can be careful when eating in the future."

"Is it the fault of the knife to cut vegetables with a knife? How can I stop using a kitchen knife? At worst, I will be careful when cutting vegetables in the future."

"I think the so-called magical techniques and tricks are the same. You can't think that because someone is too addicted to it, it leads to mutation, and you think that these things themselves are problematic. The people who have problems are not these things."

"Since there is a problem with people, we avoid the problem from the human side. How can we abandon it without using it? Master National Master, think about it, if we have various automatic devices when defending, we can attack wild animals without consuming energy, how could it be so difficult to fight?"

"But, mutation..." Lu Zhen was still worried.

Li Zhengdao: "Have you heard of a child holding a big knife? A child holding a big knife can hurt people, but may hurt himself because his strength is insufficient. As long as he grows up his strength, the big knife will no longer be a disaster, but can become a weapon. People who are involved in strange tricks and tricks are prone to mutations because they have too much desire and lack of concentration. As long as we cultivate their concentration and avoid them being too addicted, we will not be worried about mutation."

After Li Zheng said that, Lu Zhen's eyes lit up.

Yes, why do you become a real man if you are timid?

If there is a problem, just solve the problem. How can you arbitrarily say that this road is not open?

The false lineage is based on falsehood. It seems that the false lineage will be carried forward by Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen seemed to be able to see that after removing this heavy burden, the path of the fake lineage will become wider and wider.

After Li Zheng left, Lu Zhen was no longer sleepy and called the following elders and began to discuss and develop strange and erotic techniques.

It can be predicted that the struggle with wild beasts will last for a period of time, maybe several years, or decades, but if there are auxiliary props to help, what can these wild beasts be afraid of although they are fierce?

The country in the north is eyeing the fierce and erotic techniques developed can also be used in the battle formation with the enemy country in the future.

Internal and external troubles are intertwined, as if the Nanshan Kingdom has been pulled into boundless darkness, and the strange and lewd techniques will become a bright light to light up the Nanshan Kingdom.
