While Ding Kui was looking for trouble with the monsters, he was also observing the entire military formation, imagining how he would deal with each position, except for the archer corps behind him. The position that made his blood boil the most was not the cavalry brigade, but where Liu Qingshan was.
Position, the long fork points to the invincible direction.
"The kingdom's elite troops are nothing more than this," Ding Kui couldn't help but admire.
"On the northern border of our country, the Tianmen Fortress Division is indeed the most elite." At this time, it was Gu Zhuangdian who answered leisurely, "However, our country's three ace armies are in our Zhuangwang Prefecture, any one of them is
A powerful force that scares the enemy.
To be honest, they are still a little far behind the three major legions. Their advantage is their experience in dealing with wild beasts and magical beasts. Look at them, all the beasts and magical beasts are incapable of fighting after one blow."
After Gu Zhuangdian's reminder, Ding Kui noticed that the heavy armored infantry always hit the vital points of the beasts with one blow, and the wild beasts and magical beasts that fell to the ground lost the ability to continue to hurt people.
These thousands of highly efficient beast-killing machines rushed and killed countless times in the valley. The tide of beasts in front of Tianmen Town became sparse, and no more beasts continued to pour out from the direction of the Hengduan Mountains.
Suddenly, a military order came from the front. The magicians and archers turned around and retreated into the town. The infantry formed a square formation to take charge of the rear. The cavalry brigade had already circled to the rear and rushed towards the city gate to clear the way for Ding Kui and the others.
The north city gate opened again, and two rows of chariots rolled out, guarding the left and right sides. They came out to assist the assault brigade back into the city.
After a fierce battle, the assault brigade withdrew into the town. Going out of the city to attack and kill was far more physically demanding than defending at the top of the city. The assault brigade could not charge and kill the herds without limit. It had to withdraw quickly after completing the tactical objectives.
The beast tide originated from the driving away of high-level monsters. These beasts and low-level monsters fled the Hengduan Mountains out of fear. The fear of high-level monsters was far greater than the threat caused by human killings, so the beast herd was still there after most of it was destroyed.
Attack Tianmen Town.
However, the remaining herd of beasts was only at the end of its war effort. Although the 163rd Division that took over the defense line came from afar, they were not walking fast and retained most of their physical strength. They seemed to be able to deal with the subsequent weak beast tide with ease.
When the sun rose high, the fourth wave of beasts was finally killed.
The town defense team did not complete the defense mission just because they participated in the assault out of the city. After confirming that the fourth wave of beasts was over, they once again boarded the western section of the city wall to assume the final security mission.
According to past experience, there will be a small wave of tail after the main force of the beast tide, and those beasts that are farther away and slower in movement will be late.
"President Gu, it didn't rain today, and there are probably no herds of animals behind. Why didn't you put a forbidden spell for everyone to see?" Naturally, it was Ding Kui who was so curious.
The main force of the beast tide has been wiped out, and the atmosphere on the city wall is much more relaxed than the previous two days. Gu Zhuangdian smiled and said: "Do you think I am that guy from Wu Zi who loves to show off? Casting a forbidden spell will cause violent energy fluctuations. If you cast too much,
It will attract high-level monsters, so it's best not to let it go if you can."
"Hey, I think we won't have anything to do soon. Looking at the posture at the beginning, I thought there would be at least five or six waves." Lei Feixiang looked disappointed.
"Okay, okay, consider that leather armor as a gift from me. You don't have to pay it back. It's just a matter of a few more days or a few days. I still don't lack those few gold coins." Ding Kui saw through it at a glance.
Lei Feixiang's thoughts.
"It's good that you've survived until now," Liao Chen smiled at Lei Feixiang, "It's not that I'm dazzled, why do I feel like you've lost a little weight."
"Hehe," Lei Feixiang grinned, showing his white teeth, "I have been controlling my mouth these past few days and only eat a little bit of food every day. You read that right, I have lost several pounds."
"Oh, that's good. If you lose this fat, you can go into the mountains again." Ding Kui patted Lei Feixiang's shoulder.
"I estimate that the town protection team may be disbanded tomorrow. It is not suitable to go into the mountains in the short term. Xie Peng, I think you should go back with me to get familiar with Qiumu City." Gu Zhuangdian reminded Ding Kui.
"It's not suitable to go into the mountains. How long will it take to get ready? I've always wanted to see the Hengduan Mountains." Ding Kui didn't want to stay in Qiumu City for a long time, so he wanted to prepare the ground for his departure first.
"Your Excellency Xie Peng, after the beast tide is over, there will still be many wild beasts and monsters staying in this mountainous area. It will be very dangerous to enter the mountain during this period. According to past experience, it will take at least more than a month for this mountainous area to return to peace.
When the heavy snow covers this mountainous area and the news of the beast tide spreads out, many people will come. Tianmen Town will be very lively by then. I think there will be at least a hundred teams ready to enter the mountain.
If you want to go into the mountains, come after the Chinese New Year, when there are the most people going into the mountains and it is also the safest time. So many monsters have died this time, their nests must be much empty, and next year will be a good harvest year." Lei Feixiang said.
My mouth watered.
Anyone with experience will agree with Lei Feixiang's view that everything has its pros and cons. The saying "after a major disaster is followed by a good year" generally refers to farmland, and it is also very appropriate for Tianmen Town.
After the war, Yuntong went out for a long walk before returning to the Magic Tower. "Teacher, there are no herds of beasts heading here for hundreds of miles nearby."
"Really? This beast wave has been weird from the beginning, especially the demon fox controlled by the god of death. Unfortunately, the water at the core of the Hengduan Mountains is too deep, and I don't dare to find out what's going on due to my strength.
Well, the manpower here is enough. If you have anything to do, you can go back and do your work first. Tianmen Town is not suitable for your realization. Apart from Xingzhu, I have no other disciples around." Rongci wanted to drive Yuntong away, and he didn't want to delay his disciples.
their practice.

In Guangfan City, the capital of Qi State, the special envoy of Meng State was brought into the palace.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to doubt that another special envoy from our country has also arrived in Shengchang City. This time our country is determined to make Shaodian Country pay the price." Meng's special envoy said respectfully.
Qi Shao looked at the secret letter written by Meng Fei in his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the ministers of the DPRK before I can reply to your envoy."
"As it should be, that villain will retire first." Qi Shao's reaction was as expected by the Meng State envoy.
After the Meng State envoy left, the accompanying minister Wu Yi, Qi Shao's teacher, said: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jiangdong went to investigate this matter, and found that there were many ships wandering on the river on the other side.
In my opinion, Meng Fei has got an excellent excuse to send troops this time, and we should seize this opportunity to jointly send troops to avenge the last attack on Jiangdong Prefecture."
"But last time our vitality was severely damaged, and the number of troops on the other side to defend us will not be reduced. Can we take advantage by sending troops?" Qi Shao felt very conflicted. He wanted to attack Shaodian Kingdom, but he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him.
"In the early stage, we only need to make an offensive posture to contain the Shaodian Kingdom's troops. As long as the Meng and Cao countries attack smoothly, we will send a legion to go south by boat to support them. We can always separate ourselves in this war.
A piece of soup." Wu Yi gave an idea.
"Okay, as the teacher said, you go and negotiate terms with the Meng State envoy. If you want to send troops, send Qi Shuang." Qi Shao was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to weaken Qi Shuang's strength.
The attitude of Cao Qi, the king of Cao State, was much more cheerful. Last time Fang Ba ran faster and Cao's army did not suffer serious losses. Everyone in Cao State had already held their breath and looked for an opportunity to teach Shaodianguo a lesson, especially
Yao Mang lost his son and grandson.
Meng and Cao soon reached an agreement and decided to form a joint army and send troops to attack Nanzhao Prefecture of Shaodian Kingdom.
The shadow of war hangs over Nanzhao Prefecture. The 11th and 12th legions of the Shaodian Kingdom have marched to the Tongyuan River to closely guard the country's eastern border; the 20th legion has no choice but to guard the southern swamp.
Leaving its own defense area, only two divisions of cavalry were sent to support.

There was no follow-up sign of the beast tide for a whole day. The defense force of Tianmen Town breathed a sigh of relief, and the town protection team was replaced and left the city.
When Lei Feixiang saw Ding Kui walking to the inn, he came over and asked: "Your Excellency Xie Peng, aren't you going to collect the reward? Today we are giving out the 'Flower of Tianmen Town' to everyone."
"Flower of Tianmen Town?"
"Yes, she is a disciple of Master Rong. She is a kind-hearted and beautiful girl. She is the most popular person in our Tianmen Town. I don't know who first called her the 'Flower of Tianmen Town'. As soon as this title came out, everyone
I thought it was very appropriate, so everyone called it that."
"Is her name Ruan Xingzhu?" Ding Kui's eyes lit up.
"Shh, you can't call Miss Ruan's name directly in front of everyone. This is disrespectful to the 'Flower of Tianmen Town'. Even if you are a magician, everyone will be dissatisfied." Lei Feixiang hurriedly pulled Ding Kui away.
Say it aside.
Ding Kui was so funny and angry that he couldn't even call out Ruan Xingzhu's name, and sister Xingzhu couldn't even call out, "Uh, that's fine, I'll go with you to collect the bounty."
Dozens of people from the town guard team rushed to the magic tower as soon as they stepped off the city wall. In their minds, Ruan Xingzhu was a sweet and lovely girl. Saying a few words to her would make them feel better, which was better than facing those rude men.
Too many, even themselves.
Ding Kui and Lei Feixiang stood quietly at the back of the team, watching Ruan Xingzhu busily handing out bounties, much like when she was making snacks for him, and he felt filled with satisfaction.
"It's our turn." Lei Feixiang pushed the stunned Ding Kui.
Ruan Xingzhu looked up and saw the young man walking towards her. She was obviously stunned for a moment: She had obviously never seen this look before, why did his eyes look so familiar?
Ding Kui took out a jade tag, handed it to Ruan Xingzhu, and said with a pinched voice: "My identity tag."
"Ah, oh." Ruan Xingzhu came to his senses and took the jade token, "Xie Peng? Have we met?"
"I've seen it before."
Ruan Xingzhu's heart skipped a beat.
"I went to the library that night and saw you when I went upstairs." Ding Kui said.
