The deacon glanced at Li Yan and the two, and seeing that their expressions were as usual, he knew that Elder Zhou must have explained it to them before, so there was no need for him to say anything more.
"Without further ado, I have already told you two about the main things that I should talk about just now. When you go to the defense, just follow the rules mentioned before.
So now I will take you to the barracks, where there is a group of monks who have just arrived. Then, I will give you three days to get familiar with it.
Later, your team will be teleported directly away from here.
Once you get to the other end of the teleportation array, the sergeant guarding the teleportation array over there will tell you how to get to where you want to go."
…………
This is a place filled with black mountains, and the rocks have turned black and gray. At this moment, Li Yan and Mu Guyue are leading a group of monks to fly forward.
They had just come out from the underground of a mountain peak. After examining the jade slips they brought, the guardian monk there pointed them in a direction and then asked them to leave quickly.
Li Yan and the two flew in front, followed by a group of solemn-looking blue-armored guards. This may be the reason why Moji Dao Sect has been fighting all the year round. These people also know the situation here well.
Therefore, they did not have much objection to Li Yan and the two of them. They only recognized military orders. Moreover, the cultivation level of these two people was indeed higher than them.
But the four Nascent Soul cultivators still showed some worry inadvertently.
Although they are also a new group of monks who have come here to take a rotation, they have all carefully inquired about the news here. The living environment is not worthy of optimism. It should be said that it is still very bad.
When they saw that Li Yan, who had concealed his cultivation, and Mu Guyue, who had directly revealed his aura, were only in the early stages of spiritual transformation, these people could not help but feel a little upset.
They know that there are many beacon towers with strong men in the late stages of divine transformation, but even so, from the information they inquired about, many beacon towers still change hands several times during the defense.
What this means is that the fighting is fierce. If there is no strong person to protect them, the casualties of these people will definitely increase.
However, they would not express their worries. After all, no matter how strong the Moji Dao Sect was, it would not be able to have so many god-transforming monks.
Therefore, the subordinate sects were asked to send out god-transformation and void-refining monks, and they also gave these monks great power.
At least if Li Yan wants to kill these people, he can find many reasons.
There is a pale sun in the sky, and here between the sky and the earth, there is more black mist, as if it has been shrouded here all year round.
This makes the sunlight shining down from the sky appear and disappear, appearing weak and feeble, like the clear breeze in winter.
Li Yan raised his head and looked at the position of the sun. It should be exactly at noon, but in the dim and gray light, there was a feeling of a pale weather when a mountain rain was about to come.
The ground below was covered with black or gray coarse mineral gravel, and the strong wind that blew from time to time swept up the dust all over the sky.
Some of the sparse needle-like vegetation on the ground clings to the ground with the few remaining rhizomes, as if they are afraid of being carried away by the strong wind that blows all the time.
In the wind, only some branch-like stems and leaves of these vegetation were left, dancing back and forth in the wind, and even making various weird whistle sounds in the wind.
"Woooooooo..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
"Shashasha..."
In addition, the temperature here is extremely low, and some areas with water damage have already been covered with layers of ice crystals.
After Li Yan and the others came out of the underground cave, they felt as if they were on the edge of the underworld. They could still see the sun, but it was already cold both inside and outside...
After flying for hundreds of miles, they didn't even see a single beast, let alone monsters or monks.
And the further we flew forward, the fiercer the wind became, like sharp knives slicing across our body. The sun in the sky felt like a hazy full moon appearing in the clouds in the dark night.
Li Yan and Mu Guyue were flying at the front. At this time, everyone was wearing green armor, and their consciousness was constantly scanning the surroundings.
The news they received was that on the west side, Mosha Palace's attack could not directly reach Duangui City.
Instead, there are three layers of defense outside Duangui City.
But because Li Yan and the others were teleported, they directly crossed the three layers of defense in the middle and reached the forefront, which was near the beacon tower.
The functions of the beacon tower are firstly to observe the enemy's situation, secondly to be a place for supplies for our own scouts, and thirdly to defend against sudden sneak attacks by ghost cultivators, allowing them to become a buffer zone at the front.
Of course, the beacon tower is the front line. It usually resists small groups of enemies. When a large number of enemy monks attack, they must send back the message as soon as possible.
Then there may be a real brutal fight here.
The reason for doing this is because the Moji Dao Sect wants to defend the east, west, north and west, and the battle line is too long. If the number of their monks is spread out along the line, it will not be enough to resist even one side.
The real army of monks will be divided into three sides, and then stationed in batches on the three rear defenses.
And big
The troops are stationed in a staggered manner, leaving a lot of blank space between the front, rear, left and right.
Due to the insufficient number of monks, only a small number of garrison troops were left at the beacon tower ahead. Once the ghost cultivators were discovered, they would attack.
As long as the beacon tower can hold on for a while and a half with the help of formation defense, the army of monks behind it, armed with giant flying magic weapons, will arrive in the shortest possible time...
The beacon tower that Li Yan and the others are going to is one of the many beacon towers that are connected in a line. That beacon tower is in a place called "Tusk".
There are two vertical mountains protruding from the front. The two mountains are more than 540 miles apart, and there is a long formation connecting them.
Each beacon tower will control part of the formation respectively, and Li Yan is also very familiar with this formation.
When he was in the Tianli tribe, he had personally arranged a large formation composed of sub-arrays in order to resist the attacks of wind beasts.
These two places are the two frontmost beacon towers among all the beacon towers in the west.
The two mountains protruding forward curved as they extended to the end, looking like they were drawing back inward, much like two long extended fangs.
Therefore, these soldiers called them South Fang Beacon Tower and North Fang Beacon Tower.
Li Yan and the others were going to the South Fang Beacon Tower, which had a defense line of hundreds of miles. If a mortal army came to protect it, just relying on dozens of them would be too exhausted to do it.
But here, even the golden elixir monk's spiritual consciousness can easily cover these areas, not to mention the help of a large formation.
Li Yan and others were also very careful while flying.
Because according to the monks guarding the teleportation array, although there are monks from the Moji Dao Sect ahead to defend and warn, the scouts from the Mosha Palace will also often infiltrate.
Those scouts are not necessarily just one person, there may be multiple people infiltrating at the same time. Once they find an opportunity to ambush the monks on this side, they will definitely not be polite.
Therefore, Li Yan and the others should be more careful when they go out, so as not to die before leaving the army.
Moreover, if the opponent is well prepared, no matter what effect the attack has, he may be able to escape thousands of miles away in an instant. If you chase him, there may be more traps waiting for you in the direction of his escape!
Between the cold wind and the cold wind, a group of dozens of people flew forward silently, like a group of lonely travelers in the desert, disappearing and appearing in the dark wind and fog...
More than two days later, Li Yan and the others were heading west along a mountain range. At this time, the other peaks around them had disappeared, leaving only this one.
The Tao Mountain Range winds its way to the west.
The width of the mountain range is only more than 70 miles, and there is already a vast and desolate Gobi Desert on both sides.
Although Li Yan had the jade slip map, it originally only took half a day to reach the place. They are still flying and they are moving forward carefully.
When Li Yan and Mu Guyue were on the road, they were not only on guard against each other's scouts, but they would also stop from time to time along the way.
That was when they compared the jade slips with the map, and then carefully marked some things that they thought were important but that were not on the jade slips map.
These are Mu Guyue's suggestions, and Li Yan also fully agrees with this. No matter how good the map is, no matter how covered it is with spiritual consciousness, some places can only have a different feeling if you stand there in person.
Mu Guyue was out of habit and wanted to create a more complete escape route for herself and others.
Although Li Yan has experienced many wars, his experience in marching and fighting in the army is obviously lacking.
The actions of the two people made the four Yuanying monks look at each other with admiration. At this time, they guessed that the very aloof female demon commander should not be like a local demon.
It was a bit like the legendary demon general who ascended from the lower world, which gave them some confidence.
Following such people, their rich experience in facing enemies can make up for their lack of cultivation.
As a group of them were flying, the mountain range below them finally reached the end, and beyond that was a vast expanse of Gobi desert.
"Here we are!"
Li Yan whispered. In fact, it was not him who said it, everyone also saw this scene.
"It's so far away from the teleportation array. If the cultivator of the God Transformation flies with all his strength, he should be able to get here in about an hour.
If those armies at the rear want to come over in a very short time, they should possess flying treasures comparable to those in the Void Refining Realm.
Another way is that they can teleport to a hiding place and then fly nearby, which will be faster and more concealed.
As long as the Beacon Tower monks don't slack off and give advance warning, before reinforcements arrive from behind, this place can be defended with just a few dozen monks."
The moment Mu Guyue saw the end of the mountain range, she calculated in her mind how long it would take for the army from behind to get here!
It was her habit not to seek victory, but to seek defeat first, and then quickly convey the message to Li Yan.
Li Yan also nodded slightly, thinking that Mu Guyue's analysis should be similar. Without perfect defense, this place would have been lost long ago.
