In Longxugou, the atmosphere began to become tense.
The scouts came to report that tens of thousands of undead creatures crossed the desert and pressed towards Longxugou. The number this time was completely incomparable to the less than a thousand last time. It was two orders of magnitude, and there were more golden elixir eyeless monsters among them.
.
There are only five or six hundred human monks in the direction of Gu Loulan.
Theoretically, there is no need to be afraid of such a war. Human monks have stronger mobility, and they may not be afraid if they are dragged out to fight. However, the problem is that they are tightly restricted to the protective forest area and cannot move. This is the most terrible thing.
The goal of the undead army is also the protective forest, not how many human monks they want to kill.
Whether this is a matter of life and death is difficult to say; from a war perspective, their danger is not great, but from the perspective of protecting forest belts, the threat is great.
It depends on whether you choose to fight to the death or to fight in a casual way?
Can they choose a safer game? This is a question Yu Zhengxing has been thinking about.
The undead army's attack this time was very strategic. They have been wandering in the desert for several months, and no one knows when they will launch an attack. This makes it very difficult for them to ask for reinforcements from other surrounding forces that also protect the northwest, because
You don't have a specific time for the war to begin.
If everyone gathers here, will they still be able to defend the area they are responsible for?
There are also some dissonances. For example, the reason why the Guloulan Duan in charge of the Yanmen Sword Cultivator had such an accident was purely because of their own fault. How could such a thing happen without irritating the undead?
Of course, there is also the dispute between Taoism and orthodoxy at play. The area next to Guloulan is in charge of security, so I am disgusted with Yanmen Quanzhen's innovative measures intentionally or unintentionally, thinking it is just a show!
Even if I secretly agree with such an initiative and admire the sword cultivator's decisiveness, shouldn't the Dao Sect take the lead in such a public appearance?
When will it be the Demon Sect's turn to save the world?
It is precisely because of these various reasons that when the undead army suddenly appeared less than 500 miles away from Longxugou, all requests for help seemed far away and could not quench the thirst of the nearer. Tens of thousands of undead creatures came in, and on average each monk
Facing nearly twenty people, what if everyone is a god of war?
There is a group of sword cultivators behind them. They are also the main force in this defense battle. They are the only group with an orthodox organizational structure.
"The key is that the number of Golden Core Overhaulers is not enough! We only have a dozen or so, but there are hundreds of Golden Core Eyeless Monsters." Nan Xiangye is now in charge of a team of scouts. They cannot say that they are investigating the undead army carefully, but they have a rough idea.
, the key is that the realm is limited and it cannot go deep.
"The problem of the Golden Core Eyeless Monster is not something you should consider. Let's all go down and prepare. Each of you will lead your team. Specific tasks will be issued later, so don't mess up your position."
After a group of Tongtian Realm monks left, several Jindan Sword Cultivators gnashed their teeth. One of them, the newly arrived Senior Brother Wan, spoke cautiously,
"When I was guarding Gu Loulan, I consciously had no problem dealing with a dozen eyeless monsters at the same time, but the prerequisite was that I could come and go freely. Guarding a fixed forest belt like this would limit the combat effectiveness of my Yanmen sword cultivator.
It will be very large, and casualties will also come from this. Junior Brother Yu, my generation of swordsmen will not be timid, but this kind of response is indeed too weak. If we fight like this, we will suffer heavy casualties and still cannot protect the forest belt, then it will be too useless.
Meaning, this is just my opinion, don’t mind it.”
Yu Zhengxing's identity in Gu Loulan is a matter of course, one is strength and the other is popularity, but this senior brother Wan was the Gu Loulan guard of the previous generation, and now he has returned to the three-government system, no matter in terms of seniority or age,
He must respond respectfully.
Senior Brother Wan's meaning is very clear. It is better to save people and lose territory than to save people and lose territory. This is the first time in the history of the mainland that such a large-scale undead army has gone south. Choosing to respond flexibly is the right answer.
The number of cultivators is sufficient, not to mention reaching the scale of ten thousand people, only more than two thousand can be used to fight back head-on, but they currently have less than six hundred people, which is a bit too far.
But Yu Zhengxing had his own considerations, and asked him to give up the protective forest rationally, but he couldn't do it. This was not only a loss of all the monks' wealth in it, but also a kind of persistence of faith. If he retreated this time, he would not die every time in the future.
Do we have to retreat when the legions come?
Anyway, there is a precedent.
When self-protection becomes a habit, why is there any need to persist in the protective forest? After all, it is difficult to build this thing, but it is easy to destroy it. After this destruction, where can we find these passionate monks who are willing to sacrifice?
This is the difference in philosophy between him and Senior Brother Wan. Although they are both very passionate about protective forests, he is a demon sect, but Senior Brother Wan is a centrist;
For the demon sect, there is only one word, fight!
Even if the whole army is annihilated, the undead creatures must understand the consequences of coming here to provoke; this is exactly his consistent nature. If he thinks highly of you and appreciates you, he will push you into the abyss of eternal destruction!
Because he only believes in one truth and will risk his life to survive. This is especially true for talents.
Of course, there is still some arrangement, "Good teacher, please be at ease. In these days, I have contacted the northwest countries and asked for help. Like-minded people from Zhongshan, Shangcai, Seabuckthorn and other countries have also gathered two to three hundred people, including
Dozens of golden elixirs..."
Senior Brother Wan frowned, "There are a few people, why are they all small countries? Where is the Qin Clan over the border? With their full strength this time, we can be sure of this battle."
Yu Zhengxing smiled bitterly, "These small countries are inherently weak. As my senior brother knows, they have a weak foundation in cultivation and limited talent. Coupled with their huge land area, the power these countries use to maintain a stable domestic environment will account for more than half of their strength.
It is extremely difficult for several countries to gather these manpower.
As for the Qin Sect's crossing over, it was because of another coincidence: Shui Lingzhu appeared in the Liusha River. Most of the power of these two sects was used in the confrontation in the Liusha River. For several months, no one could see a few of them, so how could they join forces?
?”
Senior Brother Wan had an angry look on his face, "If you fail to succeed, you will fail! You don't care about your own home, but you spend unnecessary energy on so-called treasures. You are truly short-sighted and ignorant of the general situation."
Yu Zhengxing said cautiously: "I arranged them on the flanks of the forest belt. I hope that their sudden appearance will be effective when the war is tense. The total number of people is indeed a bit small, but if there are thousands of people, they can still fight a fierce battle with good planning.
What I mean is, don't retreat to fight guerrillas first. This will make us passive from the beginning. If the purpose of the undead army is to destroy the forest, we will have to go back and fight head-on. Why bother?
Try hard first, and then adjust your strategy based on time and circumstances.”
Senior Brother Wan had no other choice. Generally speaking, Yu Zhengxing had done the best he could. He had nothing to add, so he could only complain softly.
"The battle that truly belongs to sword cultivators should be fought from thousands of miles away!"
