The rule of the Tiansheng Sect in the Wei Kingdom is very special. Except for the original control of the Wei Family Mountain Gate, which was solely controlled by the Tiansheng Sect, most of the rest are not under the control of the Tiansheng Sect, but are controlled by means of bundling interests.
Many spiritual mountains, businesses, minerals, etc. in the Wei Kingdom are all jointly controlled by the major forces in the Wei Kingdom. In many places, the Tiansheng Sect only participates in the shares and does not manage them.
Although this strategy caused the Tiansheng Sect to lose some profits, it tied up the entire Weiguo forces and made them very united. No matter which family the enemy attacked, they were violating everyone's interests, which was enough to make the Tiansheng Sect lose a lot of money to the Wei Kingdom.
The country's rule is safe and secure.
【】
Therefore, Lin Xiao did not go to inspect the property, but continued to meet with some of the sect's core personnel here within a month to encourage them.
A month later, Lin Xiao turned south and came to the border area between the human race and the monster race buffer zone. The Wei Kingdom was weak and there were not many monks in the buffer zone. It seemed extremely desolate. It was deserted for hundreds of miles.
, occasionally some wild beasts or monsters appear.
The level of the monsters in these places was not high, and Lin Xiao had no intention of taking action. He just came to take a look, and then headed east, past the poor and weak Yu Kingdom, and arrived at the border of Qianluo Kingdom.
In the buffer zone of Qianluo Kingdom, the number of monks has begun to increase. From time to time, you will encounter some demon hunting monks passing by, most of them in groups, and very few of them alone.
In the wilderness, it is extremely dangerous for a person to be alone, because most of the monsters are in groups. It is very irrational to hunt alone. With no one to protect or restrain, you have to face a group of monsters, even if it is a group of monsters.
Even if the battle is won, the monks also need to rest. If no one is on guard while resting, they will be easily attacked by others.
Encountering monks in the wilderness is not necessarily a good thing. In various countries, there are rules and regulations, and various sects are guarding them. Fighting is not allowed easily. But in the wilderness, it is really a lawless land, with complete forest laws, and even
Monks do not hunt monsters, but only rob passing monks.
This also makes the monks in the wilderness extremely vigilant. When they encounter someone, as long as they feel something is wrong with their aura, they will stay away and approach others rashly. On the contrary, it is a provocative behavior and it is very easy to start a fight.
Lin Xiao's spiritual consciousness is already extremely strong and can be extended to a range of more than thirty miles. Normally, he would not expand his spiritual consciousness to the extreme. However, since the attack in White Jade City, Lin Xiao will improve if something is slightly wrong.
alert.
Before walking very far, Lin Xiao encountered several fights. The people who were fighting were suddenly frightened half to death by Lin Xiao's consciousness and scattered like birds and beasts.
"Ancestor Lin, he is really Ancestor Lin. He Sheng has met fellow Taoist Lin."
Lin Xiao didn't care so much, but after a while, a group of monks caught up with him. The leader bowed to Lin Xiao when he saw him.
"He Sheng, I have some impression, he is a descendant of ancestor He Mu"
The monk's memory was extraordinary. Lin Xiao looked at this person and had some impression that he had seen him at Taichong Gate.
"Yes, Ancestor He is my great-great-grandfather. Ten years ago, Ancestor Lin came to Taichongmen as a guest, and I was the one who served him tea. If it hadn't been for Ancestor Lin, I would have been killed by those casual cultivators."
"Who are those casual cultivators? This is the area where your Tai Chong Sect radiates, right? Do you even dare to attack them?"
"Ancestor Hui Lin, these casual cultivators don't care who we are. The wilderness is so vast. If you kill someone and throw the body away, it will be eaten by wild beasts and monsters if you don't use it for a day. Even if not, the weather is so hot, it won't take long.
It can also rot, they can just run away when the time comes."
"I see. Take more people with you when you go out in the future, and be careful."
"Yes, Ancestor Lin. Did Ancestor Lin come to the wilderness to hunt monsters?"
"No, just take a walk and relax."
"If Ancestor Lin wants to hunt monsters, he might as well do it in the wild area of Qianluo Kingdom. Our Qianluo Kingdom has begun to open up the wilderness in recent years and has cleared out many monsters. It will be easier than other places."
"Yeah, I got it"
Lin Xiao nodded and flew away without saying anything else. How could a young monk like him know about his alliance with He Mu?
When we came to the wilderness buffer zone within the Cang Kingdom, the number of monks was smaller. In fact, the most powerful way for monks to open up the wilderness was official action. The overlord sect of a country took the lead, and the other sects assisted, mobilizing thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Thousands of people are then dispersed into dozens or even hundreds of squads, and then use army mode to harvest monsters.
There are main attacks, feint attacks, diversions, guards, defenses, and sentinels between each other. This kind of military operation is the most efficient. If you just rely on casual cultivators to hunt monsters, it is really not very efficient. A slightly larger one They can't attack the monster tribe, they can only weaken it layer by layer, but how long will it take to weaken it?
At this time, the situation in the Cang Kingdom was not very good. Wu Muyang's control over the Cang Kingdom became very low due to his short lifespan. The other sects in the Cang Kingdom did not dare to cooperate with the Tiancang Sect at this time, for fear of being taken advantage of by him. The machine consumes strength.
The forces in the south of Cang Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the beast tide, so they were unable to organize people and horses to open up the wilderness, leaving only the spontaneous actions of casual cultivators.
After crossing the Cang Kingdom, we came to the wild front line of the Wu Kingdom. There were more monks here, most of them were monks from the Wu Kingdom. They knew Lin Xiao a lot, and people came to say hello from time to time.
"Master, why are you here? Is the sect taking action?"
"I'm just taking a look, Yunsheng, what about you, why are you here? You are a Dao Gang monk, you should go deep into the wilderness, right?"
"Back to the leader, I am protecting the disciples. Nanshou Tower has issued a lot of tasks recently. New disciples have to go to the wild to experience in order to graduate from the disciple academy. I have nothing to do recently, so I have received some tasks."
"I see that the sect monks in Qianluo Kingdom are hunted down by casual cultivators. We don't have this problem here, right?"
"There will be some, but they are relatively few. There are many monks in the Wu Kingdom in the wilderness, and everyone is closely related. Once someone is besieged, it is easy for someone to come to the rescue, so there are not many who dare to attack us. Basically, there are only some dragons crossing the river. , foreign monks do it once and run away, and casual cultivators basically don’t dare to make a living in the areas of Wu State, Cang State, Xiang State, Lu State, and Tian Eclipse State.”
"Okay, I won't disturb you in your mission. I'm leaving."
Lin Xiao waved his hand, and Cao Yunsheng saluted quickly, but he was still confused. Lin Xiao had already appeared in the wilderness. Is the sect really planning to use troops on a large scale against the wilderness?
At the same time, in the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate, Nan Xuan, Li Yiwen, who had not yet fully retired, and a group of senior officials were pointing at a huge sand table. This sand table was a topographic map of the buffer zone thousands of miles south of Wu Kingdom. For hundreds of years, countless martial monks have been active here and have already obtained a complete terrain.
"Please look at the southern one. This is the Black Wind Valley. To the northwest is the Ningcui Mountain. Three thousand miles to the south and six thousand miles to the west are all the barbaric buffer zones facing our Wu Kingdom.
When we arrived here, south of the river, it was deep in the wilderness. The number of monster beasts suddenly increased. According to the prediction three months ago, the number of monster beasts in the buffer zone was about 300,000 to 500,000.
It is difficult to say whether it is increasing or decreasing now.
These monsters are tied by race and are distributed among various spiritual mountains, mainly here, here, and here. The spiritual mountains in these three areas are relatively concentrated and have more abundant resources.
If our country, Wu, wants to use troops against it, it is best to capture these three areas, then sweep them from left to right, and then push southward, so that the success rate will be high."
"The use of troops is certain, but they will not be used on a large scale. The number of troops will be limited to three thousand. According to the agreement between me and Leader Lin, within the next twenty or thirty days, we will mainly clean up the buffer zone to prepare for future large-scale
Prepare with troops.
So what I mean is to lay down a piece of land in these three areas and then operate it. The main purpose here is to plant spiritual rice and establish a small market to provide safety and livelihood for all disciples who are active in the wilderness.
, this can greatly improve the survivability and survival time of casual cultivators in the wilderness. Which of these three areas do you think is more suitable?"
Nan Xuan replied that he had just taken the seat of the first elder. He must have made some achievements to establish his prestige. It was difficult to move things within the Wu Kingdom, so he could only take action against the wilderness.
"We label these three areas No. 1, 2, and 3. There are three spiritual mountains in the No. 1 mountain range. The terrain is flat and closest to our Tiansheng Sect. However, controlling this area has the lowest efficiency. Less than three hundred miles to the west is the Henggu Mountain Range.
, the terrain began to rise suddenly, the temperature dropped, and the number of monsters decreased sharply.
There are seven spiritual mountains here in the No. 2 Mountains, but the mountains are extremely steep, and there are some valleys with strange rocks. There are still untouched areas in some valleys. This place is suitable for building a fortress. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It only takes 3,000 people to be stationed there.
Even a hundred thousand monsters and monsters may not be able to capture it, but if Nanshou Tower wants to support war with war, it will be more difficult.
No. 3 Group has no advantages and no obvious shortcomings. It is that it is too far away from our Tiansheng Sect. It is almost tens of thousands of miles from Ningcui Mountain. If No. 3 Mountain is attacked and needs support, we may not be able to make it in time. Our sect
The speed of a flying boat that can carry more than two to three thousand people is too slow, and it will take three days to travel thousands of miles."
"What do you guys mean?"
"South Leader, this matter is important. Although we have done some research, we can't make the decision. Otherwise, should we report it to the leader?"
"No, the leader has many things to do. Since he has already decided on the strategy of opening up the wilderness, it is up to us to implement it. Everything depends on the leader and what he wants us to do.
Since you can't make a decision, let me make the decision. I'll choose Mountain No. 2. Mountain No. 2 is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After capturing it, we will immediately turn it into a fortress with formations, fortresses, Xuanjing cannons, and supplies.
, these can all be prepared slowly. First, let the disciples go to the No. 2 Mountains to clean up the monsters in a planned way. After they are completely captured, this will be the nail that our Wu Kingdom inserts into the wilderness. At that time, we will use this as the center to capture the rest.
The two mountains and the buffer zone are considered to have been captured by us."
Nan Xuan shook his head. As a first elder who has just taken office and is full of vigor, he will naturally not let Lin Xiao make decisions in everything. If that is the case, what is the difference between the first elder and a puppet. (To be continued)
