Chapter 119: Returning and borrowing from external forces
The Taoist ancestors were ordered to leave the Changsheng sect, use magic weapons to swim across the sky, gather their breath, secretly cross the creation stars set up by the Hao clan in the sky, and land on the earth.
He looked at the Mienlu City in the distance, but had no intention of entering it. He just managed to find a disciple of the Changsheng Sect who was still here, and asked him to tell Taoist Bo in the city that he had arrived.
After coming down, he will be stationed outside Mianlu. If necessary, he will try to assist the people in the city when necessary.
As an outsider, he was not willing to live or die with the Mianlu City Territory, but to come here to help in this situation, he considered himself to be extremely moral.
But he didn't think that Mianlu City could resist King Xi's army with just a small area.
First of all, no matter how much power the upper echelons of Mianlu City had accumulated, they would not be able to resist the power held by King Xi. He thought there was no doubt about this.
Thirdly, there are no reinforcements behind Mianlu City, and there is no depth of defense.
The territory of the current clan of the Hao clan is not dotted with hundreds of fortress walls. It is almost impossible to chew them down without paying a huge amount of money. The cost of attacking far exceeds the gains from occupying it. This is why each country
Fang Zong's relatives and dignitaries could exist for such a long time, forming separatist forces.
But the problem is that this battle is not simply a matter of interests, but also a matter of King Xi's own reputation. All parties are paying attention to this battle. If he is King Xi, he must sacrifice this at any cost.
If Mianlu wanted to be like other clan members who had been uprooted from his prestige area, forcing King Xi to retreat or seek peace because he could not bear the cost, then he had made the wrong decision from the beginning.
He shook his head. No matter from which aspect he looked at it, Mianlu's decision to stick to his guns was undoubtedly wrong in his opinion. But no matter what, Elder Fu and the leader recognized these people, so he would also be a helper.
Yes, we will try our best to send these people away before the city is destroyed.
King Xi's army was very large this time and he had no intention of hiding it, so the news quickly spread to Mianlu City.
Zhu Zonghu immediately invited Zhang Yu, Yin Huanting and all the upper-level Xuan cultivators to come over to discuss matters.
His expression was very solemn. Just by looking at what he knew on the surface, he could tell that King Xi came with the determination to destroy them all at once. The troops he sent out had nothing but powerful war weapons and upper-level forces.
There are not only upper-level monks, but also miraculous creatures from the All Souls Institute. The exact number is unclear, but it is certainly not a small number.
After discussing for a while, they made some new adjustments to the city defense arrangements for King Xi's army. Zhu Zonghu looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Mr. Tao, do you think there is anything wrong with the arrangement?"
Zhang Yudao: "The layout is up to Yin Xuanxiu and Wang Zhidao. I have no objection, but I think that this time we don't have to wait for the opponent to attack. We can let Yao Daoyou go out and block their army first."
Zhu Zonghu tried to ask: "Mr. Tao, do you mean to let the Supreme Being go out to attack the enemy?"
Zhang Yu nodded, Yao Zhenjun was not suitable for defending the city, her strength lies in taking the initiative to attack the opponent.
And the "Forcing Light Turn" technique on her sword to create gods is best at defeating many enemies with a small number. Without pre-arranged magic weapons and formations, generally speaking, it cannot threaten her. Not to mention that King Xi's army is in
In progress.
Even if you are prepared, with the Likong purple qi sand he gave you, you can defend yourself and retreat calmly. But with such a threat, it must be able to delay King Xi's army for a while and win them more.
Much time.
Zhu Zonghu was slightly worried and said: "Mr. Tao, King Xi's army has so many abilities this time. Is it too dangerous for the Supreme Lord to go alone..." What's more, he was also worried that Mianlu had mainly relied on him before.
If Yao Zhenjun comes to guard, if he goes out to fight, how can they resist if the enemy sends some upper-level forces to attack?
Yin Huanting glanced at Zhang Yu and said: "Zonghu, don't worry. We are sure to defend the city, and Mr. Tao's proposal is also very reasonable."
He emphasized and said: "We have received so much assistance before, which shows that the elders, the Lie King, and the Tianwai sect are all paying attention to this battle. If we act tougher and defend longer, then maybe
This is what all parties want to see..."
After Zhu Zonghu reminded him, he immediately realized the benefits and necessity of doing so.
Mianlu dared to take the initiative to attack in the face of King Xi's army and forced his army to stagnate. In the eyes of outsiders, this meant that they were not without the power to counterattack.
If they are defeated by one blow, then all the forces will not give them a second glance. But if they can not only attack, but also defend for a long time, then all forces will definitely hope that they can last longer.
Some, so as to contain and weaken King Xi, maybe it will give them more help.
Regardless of others, the elders definitely want to see something like this happen, because the longer King Xi is restrained, the safer the Central Region will be and the longer it will take to prepare.
He nodded and said: "What the two gentlemen said is absolutely true. I am short-sighted. If Yao Shangzun also thinks it is feasible, then we will have to help her take action."
Yin Huanting immediately said: "I'll go talk to Yao Shangzun about this. She shouldn't refuse if I go out and take the initiative to attack the enemy."
After everyone discussed some other matters, they decided on a detailed strategy. Soon, the whole city entered a state of defense.
With one city against one country, many Xuanxiu disciples, instead of feeling fear, were extremely excited, and this emotion undoubtedly infected the people in the city.
Most of the current people in Mianlu, except for Xuanxiu, are former slaves, miners and servants. These people have become truly dignified people in Mianlu who can truly live, but they never want to go back to being slaves.
The days when the Hao people were enslaved by the powerful clansmen and nobles were over, so everyone from top to bottom shared the same hatred of the enemy, and their fighting spirit was very high.
At this moment, Lin Xun and more than a thousand Xuan Xiu who had gone to support King Xi were on their way back.
This return trip was not without twists and turns. King Xi did not want to let them go back, and had been trying to keep them here. All the cities to the west were forbidden to them.
But they also had their own methods. They first used the Xuntian Daozhang to communicate with some fellow Xuan cultivators in other realms, and then after King Xi left, they boarded a flying boat and headed north, but they directly entered King Lie's jurisdiction. And in
Before, they had obtained King Lie's permission in advance, but this also meant that they had to make a big circle to return to Mianlu City.
And through the Xuntian Daozhang, they also clearly knew that Mianlu City was now facing the threat from King Xi's army. At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Brother Lin Dao, let's put it this way, we are likely to run into King Xi on the way back.
Soldiers? If we take advantage of this opportunity to step forward and transform into chaotic monsters to attack their army, we will definitely inflict heavy damage on their army!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and Lin Chen was also moved by what he said.
But at this time, a steady Xuanxiu said cautiously: "It's better not to do this. Have you forgotten the last time? Once the chaos monster changes, we don't know how long it will take to turn around this time, and this time King Xi
There are also high-level forces in the army accompanying us, and with us, we can't get close at all."
Lin Chen touched his chin and said, "No, I think we can give it a try."
That Xuanxiu was stunned for a moment, and then advised: "Brother Lin Dao, the last time we attacked the city with fierce crystals, the items were provided by King Xi. King Xi already knew our attack methods, so there was no way we would be unprepared.
Yes, not to mention the upper-level monks and creation alchemists who are traveling with us, as well as the existence of the creation sun star above. The spiritual light is everywhere, how could it be attacked by us? I'm afraid we will be killed as soon as we get close."
Lin Chen said nonchalantly: "Can we find a way to solve this problem?"
Xuanxiu frowned and said: "How to solve it? The upper-level forces in the city are guarding Yu Mianlu, and they can't get here right now. We don't have a fierce crystal or a suitable flying boat?"
Lin Chen said confidently: "We don't have it, but someone does."
"Who?" Xuan Xiu asked in confusion: "Who has it?"
Lin Chen said: "Don't forget whose territory we are in now, King Lie!" He reached out and patted his comrade on the shoulder, and said with high emotion: "If we can add obstacles to King Xi, what do you think about King Lie?
Do you want to support me? What doesn't King Lie have? As long as he is willing to help, I believe he will be very happy."
"I take it you are very happy, right?" Xuan Xiu looked at the dancing figure silently, feeling that this person simply wanted to experience the feeling of exploding crystals again.
Someone questioned: "Brother Lin Dao, will King Lie really help us?"
Lin Chen said: "Wouldn't it be nice to just ask him if he knows it?"
Everyone also thought that they could give it a try. After all, if it succeeded, it would also help Mianlu City, so they stopped the flying boat and tried to communicate with King Lie through Xuanxiu who had helped them before.
They originally thought they would have to wait for a long time, but they did not expect that just one day after the news was sent, King Lie's envoys came to find them. Everyone was surprised. From this point of view, King Lie was a very courageous person, and
A person who knows how to seize opportunities.
The messenger said: "His Royal Highness King Lie is very interested in your proposals. King Lie would like to ask me, what do you need? What kind of cooperation do you need?"
Lin Xin became energetic and said: "We need the protection of the upper-level power, at least to be able to advance in front of the army, and we also need flying boats and powerful crystals to carry them, a large number of powerful crystals!" He then said something else.
A lot of stuff.
The envoy said: "Your Excellency has considered it very carefully. After I return, I will truthfully report this matter to King Lie."
King Lie was very generous, so they just raised the request and immediately allocated what they needed. However, the envoy told them that although King Lie would send suitable personnel to protect them, the most they could do was to protect them.
To maintain the position near King Xi's army, and then go further in, they have to rely on themselves.
After the envoy left, a Xuanxiu said worriedly: "The last step is also very important. If we can't get close to those important targets, as soon as King Xi's creationists discover us, we will be able to clear them out in an instant."
"Perhaps I can help here." A calm and powerful voice sounded in the cabin. Everyone was startled and turned around to see a handsome and flawless Taoist standing there, but his eyes were misty and unfathomable.
Lin Chen recognized him and said in surprise: "Senior Master?"
Shi Yanxin nodded silently. However, Lin Chen faintly felt that the aura of this senior seemed to be very different from the last time he saw it, and became even more ethereal.
