Chapter 0578 The situation is severe, the next plan
"Sir, after a preliminary inventory, we have seized 150,000 pieces of demon heavy armor, 200,000 pieces of light armor, nearly a million weapons, and 1.2 million demon pills."
"Well, these trophies are all the reserves brought to the door by the demon clan. Escort them to the rear and send them to the Tianshang Branch Headquarters and put them into the treasury. Especially the demon pills, send them to the Tianshang Branch Nantian Pavilion Headquarters
, please ask all the pharmacists in Baicaotang to work overtime to refine the anti-demon elixir!"
The main material of the anti-demon elixir is the demon elixir of the demon clan. The auxiliary materials are not considered high-end and can be mass-produced in the human world.
The Tianshang Branch was originally a major producer of elixirs. If it were not for the abundance of elixirs, the leader of the Tianshang Branch, Ying Wuya, would not have taken such big risks, enriched his own pockets, betrayed the headquarters, and engaged in various conflicts with the barbarian tribes.
A private transaction.
With the elixir reserves of these branches under Nantian Pavilion and the elixir reserves brought by Baicaotang from the headquarters, let alone one hundred and twenty demon pills, even if they are doubled ten times, they can be easily digested.
Of course, Ren Cangqiong naturally wants to keep the demon elixir of the many-headed great sage himself. The demon elixir of the great sage level is the most precious treasure in the world. Any one of them will not be less valuable than the Five Elements Divine Fruit. It is absolutely a priceless treasure.
Demon king-level demon pills are relatively weaker, but they are still priceless.
Of course, Demon King-level Demon Pills are not on the same level as Great Sage-level Demon Pills. It is said that if Great Sage-level Demon Pills are used well, they can be refined into a "Dao Yuan Pill".
What is "Dao Yuan Dan"? It is one of the most miraculous elixirs in the world. After taking it and refining it, a strong person in the late stage of supernatural power can directly advance to the Dao realm, form a sea of Dao Qi in the body, and achieve the Dao.
Of course, this process also requires going through the Nine Tribulations. However, with the assistance of the Great Dao Yuan Dan and the rudiment of the Great Dao Qi Sea in the body, the resistance to the Nine Tribulations will be much higher than that of a normal practicing warrior.
However, there are naturally some disadvantages to taking the Dao Yuan Dan. After all, this Dao Yuan Dan is just a foreign object, because it is taken from the demon elixir of the great sage of the demon clan, so it will be somewhat restrictive.
If the realm of this demon clan's great sage is a first-level great sage, then the Tao Yuan Dan warrior who takes this demon elixir and refines it is very likely that his cultivation will only stop at the first level of the Tao.
Of course, this is only a theoretical constraint. In fact, warrior cultivation is inherently contrary to nature, and there is no conclusion at all.
Even if you take Dao Yuan Dan, if your mind is strong enough, your will is strong enough, and you have a certain amount of luck and luck, it is not impossible to continue to advance.
In martial arts practice, everything depends on the individual's nature. The final conclusion is only suitable for most people, not all individuals.
Although this battle was a complete victory, Ren Cangqiong and the others did not fall into blind ecstasy. Although Duotou had been defeated, this battle still exposed many problems.
First of all, the combat effectiveness of the demon clan is too obvious compared to humans.
In the battle to defend Yunluo City, if the high-end combat power had not overwhelmed the demon clan, if the tactics had not been used properly, and if it had not been relying on the excellent bow and crossbow equipment equipped in advance, this battle would not have been fought at all.
Therefore, although it is gratifying to defeat the many heads, compared to the general trend of the monster invasion, this is just a small wave in the sea.
The second problem is the supply problem. Although bows and arrows are good, their arrows are limited and cannot withstand long-term consumption.
If you win, it's okay to say that most of the metal arrows can be recovered. However, in the following battles, it is impossible for every battle to remain undefeated like this one.
The extra head, to put it bluntly, is just a small role in the Shura Sea, just an outpost. Even so, Ren Cangqiong's side really spent a lot of effort and equipment.
The third problem is that in terms of absolute power, the demon clan still has an obvious advantage. The battle in Yunluo City is not a typical confrontation between the demon clan and humans.
In this battle, on the Nantian Pavilion side, Ren Cangqiong personally took action, and Gan Yi and three brothers also charged into the battle, as well as many True Sword Dao disciples in the supernatural realm.
As for the multi-headed one, the multi-headed sage is a great sage. There are four high-grade demon kings, twelve middle-grade demon kings, and dozens of low-grade demon kings.
To put it bluntly, if we simply divert our forces to meet the enemy, we may not be able to hold out for three days before being completely conquered.
"Everyone, let's talk and speak freely."
This battle was indeed a complete victory, but Ren Cangqiong did not let the victory go to his head.
Murong nodded: "This battle shows that our Nantian Pavilion is indeed not strong enough to compete with the demon clan for every inch of territory. This Yunluo City has withstood the first wave of attacks. I believe that the next wave of attacks will be even more rapid." , more terrifying.”
"Then just abandon the city and leave?" Someone raised an objection.
Murong muttered: "Yunluo City is one of the entrances for the demon clan to enter the Donghuang Continent. If the demon clan cannot knock this gap open once, there will inevitably be a second time. If it cannot be opened twice, there will definitely be a third time. .Until it is knocked open, it is definitely not a wise move to fight against the demon clan in Yunluo City."
Yunluo City is just a three-star small city. The city wall is not high and the city body is not strong. There is almost no formation defense, let alone restricted protection.
Therefore, if a city of this level encounters a stronger impact, it will inevitably collapse completely.
Although Ren Cangqiong had extremely complicated emotions towards Yunluo City, he had to admit that what Murong said was the truth.
With the defense conditions of Yunluo City, it is not qualified to be used as an important stronghold for defense.
"Murong, keep talking and say whatever you want."
"My subordinates have analyzed the terrain of Dizhou Fenduo and feel that there is no need to defend Yunluo City, Minghao City and Shanxia City. The next step, the focus should be on Black Rock City. Black Rock City is a five-star The city's defense level is five to ten times that of Yunluo City, and the core area is relatively close to several other nearby branches, making it easier to rush for reinforcements. Moreover, the terrain outside Blackstone City is complex, and the demon clan's advancement speed will inevitably be affected. Moreover, Black Rock City is a large city with rich reserves and many powerful people. All factors are very favorable."
Murong pointed at the map and analyzed everything in detail.
"Furthermore, please take a look at the map. To the north of the Dizhou Branch Rudder, there is a large gap, which is enough for the monster clan to move inward. In comparison, the area to the south and west is just a corner of the Tiange, all embedded in the sky. A southeast corner of the wilderness, it has little strategic significance for the demon clan."
This point coincides with Ren Cangqiong's analysis.
Why Ren Cangqiong decided to delineate this area in the first place was because he was interested in the southeastern area, which is connected with the wilderness and backed by the wilderness.
In this way, the Monster Clan's invasion of Donghuang Continent will not affect the general trend of the Monster Clan's army heading west. Under this situation, this area is a dispensable piece of useless land for the Monster Clan. It will not affect the general trend of the Monster Clan's army heading west. The general trend of the demon clan's advancement has indeed general strategic significance.
Unless one day the demon clan conquers Donghuang Continent and prepares to march towards the wilderness. Then this area will become a key area and a strategic place.
The key is to allow other cities such as Yunluo City to open the door here, which is equivalent to giving the demon clan enough entrances to enter the hinterland of Donghuang Continent.
In this way, although it is a bit suspected of diverting trouble to the west, it is also the general trend.
With the general trend of the Monster Clan, it is completely impossible to hold on to the gap. So under this general trend, how to protect oneself and how to formulate a correct strategy becomes very important.
After Murong's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense.
And Ren Cangqiong was also very satisfied. Basically, Murong thought of him and went with him.
"Sir, although I don't know when the next wave of the demon army will arrive, I feel that since we have to retreat, it should not be delayed. The sooner we get to Blackstone City and deploy our defenses, the safer it will be." Murong suggested to Ren Cangqiong.
.
"Okay, let's rest for two days. After two days, we will retreat to Black Rock City. Murong, please take charge."
"My lord, I will preside over it. Then my lord, you..."
"Hey, I plan to stay in Yunluo City and act as the situation arises."
Murong was stunned, but Empress Diluo laughed: "Young Master, are you still planning to fish in troubled waters?"
Ren Cangqiong smiled faintly and said: "If the demon clan invades, either you will die or I will die. If you have the opportunity, seize it. If you don't have the opportunity, you must create the opportunity. Look at what kind of thing this second wave of army is. If you follow more
The head is just as vain, we can look for opportunities to destroy one or two more demon clan saints!"
Di Luo rubbed his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Young Master, next time, I, Di Luo, have to take action, right?"
"Well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be idle by then!"
"Haha, watching you fight against that multi-headed sage, young master, is really exciting."
"The many-headed great sage is only a first-level great sage. In the Shura Sea, I am afraid that he is just an upstart and his status is not high. Otherwise, our defense of Yunluo City this time will not be so smooth."
…
The army of Yunluo City has retreated.
The entire Yunluo City was empty and lifeless. Although it had not yet been destroyed by the war, when a city loses its vitality, it will immediately appear extremely depressed.
Empress Diluo is already practicing in the dark.
Ren Cangqiong, on the other hand, felt the atmosphere of this empty city in the Ren family's manor. In the middle of the night, except for the sad sound of insects, not even the sound of chickens and dogs could be heard anymore.
All kinds of memories of the past and present life came to his mind. Ren Cangqiong knew that no matter what, the fate of his previous life had gone awry at this moment.
Destiny has entered another track. The memory of five years of rebirth has been erased. From now on, he no longer has any advantage of foresight. He will be like a normal person under the storm and vortex of the monster invasion.
Dealing with the demon clan, fighting for survival and destiny.
Ren Cangqiong lay on his back on the roof of the manor's large attic, looking at the starry sky, enjoying the rare tranquility. Maybe in five days, maybe in ten days, this land will be crowded with the demon army and will be invaded by the demon clan.
Completely destroyed. From now on, Yunluo City will become a piece of history and a memory.
When Ren Cangqiong thought of this, he felt slightly depressed. The general trend was that even though he had all kinds of adventures and abilities, he could not resist the general trend with his own strength.
However, Ren Cangqiong did not lose his fighting spirit because of this. On the contrary, there was a burning flame in his heart - in order to survive, in order to have a foothold on the ground, and in order to have free air to breathe, he must deal with the demon clan.
