With no one to stop him, Lin Xiao tried his best to kill the place where there were many second- and third-order monsters, because Lin Xiao knew that since there were fourth-order monsters in this group of monsters, the Zhizu monsters must be at least three-level monsters.
level, otherwise even if there is a higher-level demon king to suppress them, those fourth-level monsters will not obey orders.
Lin Xiao's strategy was right. Soon, countless frightened beast roars were emitted from the monster beast group, and then all the monster beasts were retreating, including those who were fighting fiercely, the one who was restrained by Bai Zichen and others, and more
It's a quick return to defense.
Lin Xiao waited until the system protective shield time expired, immediately vacated, and did not struggle with the monsters. Then he followed the army to cover up the enemy for a while, and chased them for three or four miles. He stopped chasing and quickly withdrew to clean up the battlefield.
Lin Xiao watched the monsters retreat. After they had retreated thirty or forty miles, Lin Xiao slowly retreated. Most of the men and horses also retreated into the camp. Everywhere he could see, there were monks who collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
"Quick, quick, quick, the monks who have not participated in the war take action immediately to help rescue the wounded, the law enforcement team, collect the loot, and the logistics camp, immediately open fire and prepare meals. What are you guys doing over there? Go up the camp wall and monitor the enemy."
Zhang Mingtang and a group of stewards were quickly arranging matters. Lin Xiao did not care so much. After returning to his tent, he quickly swallowed the elixir and meditated. After a big battle, Lin Xiao's profound energy was greatly consumed and he had to maintain it.
Only with sufficient profound energy can you feel safe.
Two hours later, Lin Xiao opened his eyes and removed the tent formation. Soon, Zhang Mingtang came in with some food.
"Master, please have a meal."
"Sit down, Mr. Zhang, what's the situation outside?"
“Not so good”
"How to say"
"Today was just a tentative attack by the monsters, but we killed more than 500 people and injured no less than 500 people. The casualties were heavy."
"Five hundred people, so many, how many casualties did our Tiansheng Sect suffer?"
"The Tiansheng Sect doesn't have many people. Only forty-six were killed in the battle, but more than four hundred were injured. Bai Zichen and the three hundred pulse condensing sacrifices were too reluctant to practice the fourth-level formation. All of them were injured and the others died in the battle.
The largest number of cultivators are casual cultivators, and their equipment is really poor. Many Pulse Condensing cultivators only have a second-level magic sword and nothing else."
"The battle damage is indeed high. If the casual cultivators find out, I'm afraid morale will drop quickly. How many monster beast corpses have been dragged back?"
"Seven to eight hundred, less than one-third."
"Send some warriors out in the evening to get some more. From today onwards, the spirit and flesh tubes will be enough, and the supply of spiritual rice will also be increased. In addition, these monster materials must be separated as soon as possible, so that the monks of the four battalions of formations, weapons, talismans, and pills can be transformed into combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Distribute them to casual cultivators on the pretext of military exploits and arm them so that this battle can still be fought."
"Yes, Master, Master, there is something I need you to handle."
"What happened?"
"There were deserters in today's battle. There were a lot of them, twenty-six in total. The situation is very complicated."
"The situation is complicated. Are there any disciples from our Tiansheng Sect?"
"It's good if we do. As long as we treat everyone equally, it's hard for others to say anything. The key is that there is not a single disciple of the Tiansheng Sect. Among the twenty-six people, twenty are casual cultivators, and six are disciples of the sect, including one Tiansheng Sect disciple."
There were also five other female nuns from Haimen who collapsed on the battlefield and ran back crying, killing many people. Now those five female nuns are interceding the most."
"How to deal with deserters according to military law"
"On Beheading"
"Okay, let's do this. Behead them in front of everyone and hang their heads on the camp wall. I will negotiate with you at Tianhaimen. In addition, tell everyone and ask them to supervise the disciples of Tiansheng Sect. If there is no order, someone becomes a deserter.
, treated the same”
"Master, this..."
"Do as I say. If we don't enforce strict military laws now, we will all die when there is a large-scale rout."
Lin Xiao was extremely ruthless at this time. As the saying goes, kindness cannot control troops. If military laws cannot be strictly enforced, then no one will be afraid. Today is just a tentative attack. Then in the next decisive battle, the intensity of the battle will skyrocket again. Don't even think about it then.
Everyone worked hard.
"Yes, leader"
"Today's commander is probably a relative of yours."
"Yes, Master, my clan brother has low-level spiritual root qualifications and is not good, so I asked him to learn how to march and fight."
"Let him come in. I have something to talk to him about."
"yes"
Zhang Mingtang nodded and went out quickly. After a while, the whole camp became noisy. Lin Xiao also heard the sound of neat footsteps. It should be the disciples of the Tiansheng Sect who were suppressing it. Lin Xiao did not come forward. There was no need to do this.
He handled it himself.
After a burst of screams, the entire camp suddenly became quiet. Not long after, today's commander came in. Lin Xiao remembered that his name was Zhang Mingrui.
"Commander Zhang, sit down"
"Thank you, Master. I don't know what the Master wants me to do."
"What do you think of today's battle? Can you find out where the wise monsters are?"
"Master, I had people observe me today, but I didn't find out that the other party was hiding very deep, and the beast's roar that sent the message was also complicated. It didn't use a single kind of monster, so it's impossible to analyze it at all."
"I took a look today. Behind the monster army there are tall orangutans, as well as tigers and giant rhinoceros. These main forces are not moved. They are all cannon fodder with a large number of races. So in the next battle, you must find the intelligent tribe.
Monster, then I will send people to behead it. Once the Zhizu monster is dead, this monster is nothing to worry about. We can defend it if there are tens of thousands more."
Lin Xiao said to Zhang Mingrui that the threat from the intelligent beasts was too great. The troops deployed by the attacking monsters today were very smart, no less than human commanders. Without the cooperation of the intelligent beasts, they would just be a swarm of swarms.
Surge up, eight thousand people are enough to keep them all, and tens of thousands more can hold them.
"I understand, Master. When the time comes, I will find a way to make him fooled and show off his flaws. They are just monsters. No matter how smart they are, they can't compare to humans."
"Okay, I believe you, you go back and have a good rest."
Lin Xiao nodded, and then sent him out of the camp. He also went to the tents of several sects in Tianhaimen. There were 8,000 people in the Black Wind Valley camp, among which there were only 3,000 Tiansheng sect disciples.
There are also three thousand casual cultivators, and the remaining two thousand are support personnel from various sects, brought directly from Jingzhou, so Lin Xiao must deal with the deserters.
Lin Xiao personally explained to them the importance of military law and the severity of this war. In this world, monsters and humans are unstoppable existences, and there is no room for any luck.
Lin Xiao didn't know what they were thinking, but no one blamed them on the surface. After all, at this time, military law is the most important. If there are no rules, what is the difference between it and a mob?
After that, Lin Xiao visited the camp again to check the defense, also to appease everyone who visited. Tiansheng Sect has never been stingy with supplies. Today, in addition to the supply of one catty of spiritual rice for each person, there is also the supply of one catty of Qianling wine.
There is no limit on meat, you can eat as much as you can.
Now that everyone has eaten these things, they are basically meditating to refine the profound energy in them and transform it into cultivation. Now even the laziest people are working hard to cultivate. If they improve their cultivation a little more, they may be able to be more effective on the battlefield.
Split vitality.
Lin Xiao also visited Bai Zichen and the others. Today, 300 of them made sacrifices to contain the fourth-level monster. Otherwise, the whole situation would be much more dangerous.
Bai Zichen and the others were mainly injured by the counterattack of the fourth-level formation. Their cultivation level was still too low to control the fourth-level formation, and the commander did not dare to invest more people for fear that the monsters would attack with all their strength.
, keep enough prepared manpower.
Bai Zichen and others were slightly injured, but there were also many seriously injured people, and there were more than a hundred people. These people would not be able to fight again for a short time. Once their injuries were stabilized, they would have to be sent back to Gongming City. In today's battle, at least seven people were lost.
The fighting power of a hundred people can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
However, things did not go well for the monster beasts. The iron-winged eagle was seriously injured by Lin Xiao. Even if it survived, it would not be able to participate in the battle. In addition, more than 3,000 monster beasts were killed, and one-tenth was also lost.
of military strength.
When night fell, more than a hundred monks who were tempted by the high amount of serious injuries sneaked out of the camp and went to the battlefield outside to pick up the corpses of the monsters that died in the battle. Some of the remaining monks' remains were also brought back.
So by the next day, the entire camp was full of energy. The usually expensive monster materials were piled up at will. The spiritual meat that was rarely eaten by casual cultivators was even more available. In addition, the white mist tea was not unlimited, it was truly limited.
It's Lingmi and Qianling wine.
The great material wealth has wiped away the low-pressure atmosphere caused by the execution of deserters in the camp yesterday. However, the issue of equipment for casual cultivators is still a big problem. Few casual cultivators have any savings, so they basically take all their income.
I came in exchange for resources to improve my cultivation, and then I only had one set of weapons and equipment.
But yesterday's battle damaged the equipment in the hands of many casual cultivators, and some even became unarmed. For this reason, Lin Xiao had to send a batch of materials back to Gongming City, and let the weapon refiners there make talisman masters.
Such manpower should be refined as soon as possible, and a batch of resources from the Tiansheng Sect's reserve warehouse should be mobilized to arm these casual cultivators.
For one day, those monsters did not attack again, but Lin Xiao received news from Siming Mountain that they were also fighting monsters there. At this time, the main force of the monster army was almost at Chenqing Valley, and the monster army was divided.
It's even more powerful because those monsters also need food. Hundreds of thousands of them gather together and they can chew up all the stones.
Siming Mountain's defense line is very solid, but the other states and counties are not so ideal, because the other states and counties are not as strong as Tianyun State, and their unity is far less than that. Those states and counties that have not contacted Chen Guo cannot do it.
If others fight to the death, they have the intention of preserving their strength.
Wang Dao was very worried about this. Once the defense lines of other states and counties were breached, hundreds of thousands of monsters and beasts would flood into the hinterland of Lu State. Although Chunyang Palace could no longer recruit Tianyun Prefecture troops, Tianyun Prefecture would have
Prepare the defense line on the Yuanning Hezhou side.
As a result, Tianyun Prefecture's men and horses will appear to be stretched thin. By that time, Tianyun Prefecture will probably have to learn from Chen Guo, carry out fortification and clearing out the wilderness, and gather the men and horses on the major spiritual mountains. And doing so means at least
If you give up half of the mortals and leave them to their fate, Tianyun State will lose millions of mortals.
This is an extremely serious loss. Without enough population to provide monks, the development of the sect will be at a standstill, and the balance of the sect will also be broken. If a sect family has too many disciples, it is very likely that they will be left alone. For Wangdao
Lin Xiao also fully agreed with his concerns, but could not find any solution for the time being.
