Outside the porthole window, the scenery quickly recedes.
Lu Zhong was sitting cross-legged in the cabin, closing his eyes and thinking about it.
According to historical records, the Battle of the Falling Star was a big battle, consisting of many battles. In the bloody battle that spanned a hundred years, both the immortal cultivators and the natives had their own victories and defeats. What he had to do now was to go to a battle.
The fortress is called Hidden Sword Valley.
Hidden Sword Valley is located in the extreme south of Dongzhou, with a dangerous terrain.
Guard the land and sea passage from Nanchun Continent to Dongzhou.
There is a Green Spirit Tribe in Nanchun Continent. They live in the vast forest and are famous for their ability to domesticate winged dragons. Their military strength is not weak. They successfully defeated the Jin Spirit Tribe’s army long before the Xianxiu invasion. They have been defeated by all the tribes in this world.
They all agreed that they would be the new generation overlords of the Xiaoling World that would replace the Jinling Clan.
Although the process of domination was interrupted by the arrival of immortal cultivators, the Green Spirit Tribe is definitely a formidable opponent.
This can be seen from historical materials.
"...It's the same year, the Hidden Sword Valley was defeated, and the Taoist Protector of the Stone returned to resume his life."
The outcome of the Battle of Hidden Sword Valley was described in just one line. It is true that the fewer words, the greater the consequences. It is not difficult to imagine what a tragic defeat the coalition forces suffered there.
It was not difficult for Lu Zhong to guess what Guan Daozi was thinking.
Maybe he was sent to Hidden Sword Valley to support because he wanted to change something.
It is not impossible for the cultivator to change the situation of the battle.
During the long thousand-year invasion war, the immortal cultivators with the highest cultivation level in the Xiaolinghuan world, except for Guan Daozi, only served as commanders in the combined period. The number of Void Refining cultivators guarding one side below was no more than the number of hands. The real
The mainstay of the group is the god-transformation monk.
"The current time is the eight hundred and sixty-fifth year of the invasion calendar. In one year, it will be the time when the first Battle of Pyrose Strait takes place."
According to historical records, the immortal cultivators suffered little loss in this battle, but Long Lejun, a Yuanying monk who was good at formations, was killed in this battle. Later facts proved that this was an extremely serious loss. Due to the lack of
The monks who repaired the formation directly led to a series of subsequent failures.
"So, what I am trying to do is to protect this person?"
Lu Zhongmo thought.
Just when he was thinking about how to change the outcome of this battle instead of trying to survive.
The flying boat has already descended from the clouds.
After passing through the heavy clouds and fog, the vision suddenly opened up.
Looking out the window, you can see two giant peaks suddenly protruding from the mountains facing the alluvial plain into the sea. And in the deep valley formed between the two peaks, there is a mountain leaning on the cliffs, pure white in color.
A sword-like fortress, and this is the Hidden Sword Valley Fortress.
The Hidden Sword Valley Fortress began during the Shiling Tribe period. It was a coastal fortress from the beginning. After hundreds of thousands of years of changes, it has been destroyed and repaired, and repaired and destroyed again. By the time of the Jinling Empire, in order to defend against the south
After the invasion of the Green Spirit Tribe, this place was renovated and its scale far exceeded the largest in history.
Until the beginning of the invasion calendar, it was defeated by the immortal cultivator using a flying boat.
After a while, the flying boat flew to the fortress airport.
On the platform, there were already many monks standing to greet them. Their clothes were different from each other. One side was quite messy, while the other side had uniform clothes, all wearing golden robes.
Advocating gold seems to be a characteristic of the Taoist League.
Seeing the flying boat descending slowly, the monks who greeted him became nervous. Among them, Taoist officer Yu Yuming was the most nervous. After all, the man who came now was nominally his superior and would take over as the chief military officer.
At the front of the crowd, a woman in palace attire looked calm.
When she saw Lu Zhong disembarking from the boat in black clothes, she couldn't help showing a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. This was not like the behavior of Taoist monks, but she didn't show it. After saluting, she said with a smile:
"I am Zhao Shuling, and on the orders of Taoist Protector Shi, I am here to greet my Taoist friends."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhao."
Lu Zhong rushed to the other party and handed over his hand. He also sensed the female's cultivation level and found that she was only in the early stage of becoming a god, so she was suitable to step in for the Taoist Protector of the Stone. He looked towards the crowd behind him and saw an old man walking towards her.
"I have been sent to Yu Yuming to meet Lu Daotai!"
Lu Zhong had already known about his duties before setting off. He was to take over the Hidden Sword Valley Bingbei Dao. He was mainly responsible for training soldiers and maintaining public order. The old man in front of him was obviously a member of the Bingbei Dao, otherwise he would not have been able to do so.
If you know how to speak, call me Daotai.
As a passer-by, Lu Zhong had no interest in establishing a relationship.
But considering the time ahead, it is inevitable to ask the other party to do something, so it is better to respond patiently.
Under Zhao Shuling's introduction, Lu Zhong greeted each of the Taoists one by one. After each other returned the greetings one by one, even if they had met each other, there was a foundation for future communication.
Xu Shi saw that Lu Zhong was easy-going and not like ordinary Taoist monks. The alienation between everyone was slightly reduced, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, everyone began to communicate and get closer.
The power of the Military Bei Daoist is not small, and he is the third highest among the nine Daoist Daoists in Hidden Sword Valley.
Even an airborne commander can influence one side.
Lu Zhong knew this very well.
As the former head of a sect, he seemed to be extremely comfortable with these old-timers and made them stop looking down on him, knowing that this person was not an easy person.
What comes next is testing and counter-testing.
Very boring!
After the greeting, we went on to pay homage to the Taoist Protector of the Stone.
In Hidden Sword Pavilion, Lu Zhong saw this Void Refining monk, but unexpectedly he was a young boy who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. If his cultivation wasn't so unpredictable, people would really doubt his identity.
The two met for just a few words.
It's really just a meeting.
After a while, the Taoist Protector of the Stone picked up the tea cup and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong naturally understood the situation and stood up to say goodbye.
After walking out of Hidden Sword Pavilion, he walked straight to Bingbei Road.
"If you want to change the outcome of the battle in Hidden Sword Valley, it is essential to strengthen the coalition forces. Now that you have become the chief officer of the Military Preparation Road, you will have the opportunity to take action."
From a distance, you can see Yu Yuming and his people waiting in front of the Bingbei Hall.
Under his introduction, Lu Zhong had a general understanding of the entire army.
Generally speaking, the operation of this method is quite normal, and there are no glitches as expected, that is, things such as being obedient and contrary to expectations, which saves him a lot of trouble.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, it still takes a lot of effort to fully control the military equipment.
It was already late in the evening when we had a rough idea of the situation.
Next, is the reception process.
By the time the banquet was over, Lu Zhong returned to Daotai Cave Mansion, it was already late at night.
…
As time goes by, the atmosphere in Hidden Sword Valley naturally becomes tense day by day.
In the direction of Shengdao Mountain, after the coalition forces attacked north, there was immediate movement in Nanchun Continent. According to the feedback from the scouts, the Green Spirit Tribe had already taken action and was preparing to take this opportunity to cross the sea.
As Lu Zhong knew, the first battle of the Pyroxene Strait was about to come.
However, he did not tell outsiders about this.
As a person on the blacklist, Lu Zhong knew that he had been targeted by the world consciousness. If the news was leaked, he didn't know what trouble it would cause and how much changes it would bring to the future.
If the delimiter fails, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
Therefore, he chose to proceed silently.
As for the reason for the failure in the direction of Hidden Sword Valley, later generations of Xiaoling World monks have not reached a conclusion. In addition to the key formation master, some people think that the failure of the air battle, the flying boat was defeated by the winged dragon, which caused loopholes in the fortress defense.
of total defeat.
In this regard, Lu Zhong can do a lot.
On the one hand, the Holy Dao Mountain is requested to support more war boats, no matter how big or small, good or bad, and to equip them with enough weapons to offset the threat posed by the Winged Dragon.
On the other hand, it is to train the reserve force of the war boat.
To put it simply, it is to expand the army desperately at any cost.
As the chief officer of the Military Bei Dao and a member of the Dao Alliance, he has this authority.
Lu Zhong's only concern now is to win the war in the Hidden Sword Valley and ensure the smooth progress of the Falling Star War. As for how to maintain this force in the future, he is not considering it.
…
In the quiet room, Lu Zhong was sitting in meditation.
Apart from managing military preparations, he focused all his energy on making breakthroughs in cultivation.
I took some time out a while ago to refine a furnace of Cloud-Relieving Pills.
"I don't know if the bottleneck can be resolved."
Lu Zhong murmured and put a pill as white as jade into his mouth.
Immediately, the medicinal power escaped.
Mild, delicate and refreshing.
Try practicing the exercises and refining it, and if it is as recorded in the elixir recipe, it will have a good effect on resolving erysipelas.
After taking a cloud-relieving pill, Lu Zhong felt that his Yangshen was a little brighter than usual, not to mention his body, his whole person seemed to be activated.
Of course, there is no such thing as feces spraying out of your pores.
At the stage of transformation, the monk's body has been transformed into a pure spiritual body, which is essentially pure and flawless. How can it be possible to remove a bunch of dirt? The so-called anti-erysipelas of Jie Yun Dan actually only dissolves the body's resistance to the same kind of spiritual energy.
Just sex.
To put it figuratively, it makes people who are tired of eating a big meal regain their interest in abalone, ginseng, wings and tripe.
After the refining was completed, Lu Zhong tried it a little bit, but found that the bottleneck of cultivation remained motionless, with no sign of being shaken at all, which made him feel frustrated.
"Maybe it's not enough."
With this thought in mind, he poured out another cloud-relieving pill, raised his head and put it into his mouth.
Taking the elixir and refining it, time passes by inadvertently.
In the days that followed, Lu Zhong handed over the affairs to the incarnation, while he stayed behind closed doors, devoted himself to training, and waited for the war to come.
I don't know if the bottleneck is too stubborn, or if he chose the wrong direction to break through, or if his qualifications are not good enough. He has been in seclusion for more than half a year, even taking three bottles of Jie Yun Dan, but the bottleneck still hasn't loosened at all.
During this period, more than a dozen war boats were successively sent from the direction of Shengdao Mountain.
The reserve force that had been cultivated before could finally be put to use at this time. Lu Zhongdu made arrangements one by one and ordered the allied monks to lead the new ones and step up exercises to familiarize themselves with the performance of the warship.
…
On this day, thousands of miles away from the Hidden Sword Valley, on a desert island in the Huishi Strait, a small airship about ten feet long, flying the flag of the coalition, was hiding in the formation.
On board this flying boat, there are two Pill-forming monks and six Foundation-building monks.
These eight people belong to the scout team and have been lurking here for many years. One of them, an old woman-looking alchemy monk, looked solemn and said to the person next to him:
"Friend Daoist Liu, I have been restless these past two days. I always feel like something big is happening. Do you feel the same way?"
"Yes, I feel the same way. But fortunately, we only need to stay on duty for three more days before other comrades will come to take over the surveillance. So no matter how dangerous it is, it will only be in these three days." Another young man with dark hair
, after hearing his teammates’ words, he pretended to be relaxed and replied.
"Oh, I hope everything goes well. I don't want to bury my body in a foreign land for the reward of surveillance. I have to return to the spirit world after all. I have been employed for so many years, and I don't know what my family's situation is now." The old woman said.
He sighed and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, there is a guardianship order from the Taoist League, and the worst we can do is keep it as it is."
The dark-haired young man smiled.
There are many bad things about Tao Meng, but there is one thing that cannot be criticized.
Then keep your word.
The two chatted in low voices for a while, and the old woman offered a magic bead.
This bead is called the "Shadow Exploration Bead". It can be used to detect situations within a thousand miles radius, and can ensure the safety of the scout team to a great extent. The only shortcoming is that it requires alchemy cultivation to activate it.
And this is also the meaning of their existence.
Interactive exploration leaves no blind spots for surveillance.
But at this moment, the old woman's expression suddenly changed.
"What, something happened?"
When the dark-haired young man saw her expression, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked.
Before the old woman could reply, there was a buzzing sound that reached everyone's ears through the hidden magic circle. When the other six foundation-building monks heard this, their faces turned pale.
I saw a sudden violent twisting and shaking on the sea surface in the distance, and then a hole was opened. First, there was a surge of colorful miasma, and green figures spilled out of it. The buzzing sound was the sound of their wings.
They are all flies over ten feet long.
Each one was frighteningly green in shape, waving a pair of sickle legs, and under the control of the rider on its back, it headed towards the desert island below.
"No, we have been discovered!"
The dark-haired young man finally woke up and said to the old woman in panic.
When he said this, his voice was vibrating.
Although flying flies are not as good as winged dragons, once the number increases, it is not something that two people can solve.
If they are not careful, they will end up falling.
"Then what are you waiting for? Send the signal and retreat!" Although the old woman was also frightened, she had seen more storms and waves, so she quickly calmed down and gave the correct order.
Now that it is confirmed that the green spirit tribe's fly scout team is dispatched, their mission will be completed ahead of schedule, because every time the flies appear, there will be a mighty green spirit tribe's army behind them.
Several foundation-building monks behind her immediately sat in a circle after hearing this. They took out a blood talisman from their arms and swallowed it without hesitation. Their faces suddenly turned red, showing expressions of extreme pain, but they still pinched it.
Recite the incantation and cast a spell together.
In an instant, an astonishing red light shot into the sky.
The light is so eye-catching that other scouts, not to mention thousands of miles away, can see it clearly even in the Hidden Sword Valley Fortress.
Seeing that the signal was successfully sent, the two old women quickly launched the flying boat.
But at this moment, a high-pitched voice came from above the desert island where they were hiding, and when they saw the figure glowing with green light in the air, the immortals felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Tsk, look what I found. It turns out to be eight little bugs."
