"That's not right. In this case, why did the caravan come back? They will definitely be silenced."
Although Wang Zhan felt that Ye Feng's analysis was reasonable, the results were wrong, which didn't make sense.
"Of course the bandits allowed us to come back on their own initiative. They didn't want to be the target of public criticism."
Xiaozhu already understood all the cause and effect, sighed, and continued:
"We were surrounded by bandits, and both sides were almost furious. The bandits suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of us suffered casualties. The bandits were worried about losing their strength, so they proposed negotiations.
Of course we have no objection, because our mission is to protect the princess. The plan has been completed. Whether the princess can successfully smuggle in is no longer important. There is no point in continuing the fight.
It was only during the negotiation that the thieves learned that the shipment was actually a high-grade source crystal. They also knew that those Qi Condensation masters were originally here for the high-grade source crystal. No one could see through such a simple trick of sneaking across Chen Cang.
The bandits didn't want to become scapegoats, and those people had already tracked the princess and the others, so the bandits directly released the caravan without any conditions.
When we arrived at the Qingshui River ferry, we found that the ferry had been destroyed. Fortunately, we were rich in resources and had enough low-grade source crystals to build a simple flying boat and barely flew across the Qingshui River.
But when we arrived at Qingshui Town, there was no one there. Fortunately, someone left a sign to warn us, and we knew that the insect famine had broken out in advance.
It was just that we hurried and hurried slowly, but were eventually intercepted by flying insects in Qingfeng Town. Fortunately, we met our little brother, and then we had the opportunity to come to Nandu for help. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was the King of Nanjun who wanted to put us to death.
"
"Why did King Nanjun do this? Even if he gets three thousand high-grade source crystals, the most he can do is activate the protective formation of the county prince's palace, which no one can break through. But the source crystals will eventually be used up, and it won't be a dead end by then.
"
"You are wrong, what he wants is time!"
After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Sheng'er suddenly said with enlightenment:
"The reason why King Nanjun has the confidence to compete with Dadu, apart from the Shengdao Clan, Tang Clan and Ying Family, his greatest confidence should be the Zerg Clan. He should have already become the Zerg Clan's lackey.
In addition to making the protection level higher when driving the protective array, high-grade source crystals also have another function, which is to activate those ancient teleportation arrays.
There are countless ancient teleportation arrays between the four major cities and Dadu. Once these teleportation arrays are opened, people can arrive instantly."
The great elder said with an extremely ugly expression:
"These people are worse than pigs and dogs. They are going to ruin the entire human race. As long as they capture a city and activate the teleportation array, they can instantly teleport a large number of Zerg to other cities. Under attack from both inside and outside, each city will inevitably collapse."
"Damn it, damn it!"
Wang Zhan is a straight person, but he cursed on the spot.
"What should we do now? Nandu seems to be too dangerous. How about we escape before the insect famine arrives?"
Ye Feng didn't understand this world at all, so the only way he could think of was to escape. Anyway, he was alone and had nothing to worry about.
"Not urgent!"
The usually careless voice was very calm. He rolled his eyes at Ye Feng and continued:
"There are not many high-grade source crystals in the first place, so the teleportation array must consume a lot of money. Now that Nandu has activated the protective array, something has obviously gone wrong, and it is obviously trying to avoid disaster.
Since Prince Nanjun has colluded with the Shengdao Sect, the Tang Sect and the Ying Family, with their strength, the only one who can still feel threatened is the royal family taking action.
Our Ye family should have started a war with them in Dadu a long time ago. The power to support Nandu must be limited. If the royal family's secrets are exhausted, Nandu will be unable to compete and have to activate the protective formation to delay the complete outbreak of the insect famine."
"No, no, the situation is not as bad as you say. On the contrary, this is an opportunity for the human race."
Although Wang Zhan does not have high emotional intelligence, he is a serious soldier and is most familiar with war. After listening to everyone's words, his eyes flashed and he put forward different opinions.
"oh!"
The Great Elder also thought of something and said "Oh" and looked at Wang Zhan with interest, obviously wanting to hear his opinion.
"Actually, it's very simple. Their plan seems perfect, but there is a huge loophole. For the plan to succeed, the prerequisite is that Nandu must be captured. Only by entering Nandu City can you teleport to other main cities through the teleportation array.
Otherwise it’s all just talk.”
The Great Elder nodded with deep sympathy and said:
"Yes! So they must first attack Nandu and use this as the base point of their attack. Therefore, Nandu must be the center of their attack. We must quickly check the city defense situation. Nandu must not make any mistakes."
"Yes, since the Prince of Nanjun has become a shameful traitor, he must have made arrangements. As soon as the war begins, someone will attack and sacrifice the city. If the internal and external cooperation is coordinated, the southern capital will be lost, but maybe it is not that anxious.
It is strange that the insect famine breaks out early this time. If we cross the River of the Dead too early, the Zerg will suffer huge casualties. Since they are planning to completely defeat us this time, they must have enough power. There is no benefit in doing so. Why are they still doing this?
What about doing this?
I think this may be an illusion made by the Zerg. They did not break out in advance at all. The Zerg army should still be gathering and did not forcefully cross the river of the undead.
The reason why we believe that the insect famine broke out early is because of the appearance of the Zerg. Once the scouts discovered it, they immediately retreated to warn us. We have no idea how many Zerg actually appeared or what kind they were.
According to the news we have received so far, the ones discovered are basically flying insects. We all know that flying insects have almost no role in war, and they are also the easiest to cross the river of the undead.
So I think the purpose of their appearance is to interfere with us, make us misjudge and enter the defensive posture in advance. Once the main cities start the defensive posture, the communication with each other will be interrupted, information will become blocked, and they will go their own way.
Also, it is now more than three months ahead of schedule, and preparations in each city are in a hurry. Such a huge population will be consumed three months in advance, which will cause huge pressure both in terms of resources and mentally.
They can obtain such benefits by harassing them with some useless flying insects, which will definitely be the most successful tactic.
So according to my judgment, even if they do come earlier this time, the actual formation of the insect drought should be about a month later, and we still have enough time to prepare."
After all, Wang Zhan is a professional soldier. He understands and uses strategies and tactics very skillfully, and he can see the key at a glance.
"Look! Captain and the others are back!"
At this moment, the lookout whistled in surprise.
"It seems there are quite a lot of flying insects. Since they are coming to your door, let's not keep any of them."
The Great Elder quickly came to the city wall, glanced at a group of light that was slowly approaching more than ten miles away, waved his hand and ordered:
