In front of the first line of defense in Dongzhou, most of the more than one billion monsters have gathered, and the demon kings headed by the Kui Niu tribe have also arrived one after another. Unlike the senior officials of Dongzhou Academy, the senior officials of the demon tribe are more life-saving, and it is difficult for them to advance.
They are not willing to risk their lives casually, not to mention they still have countless low-level monsters as cannon fodder, so there is no rush at all.
"attack"
"attack"
Following the order from the Kuiniu Clan Demon King, tens of thousands of Zhi Clan demon beasts informed the sixth-level demon king at the front, who then ordered the low-level demon beasts to attack.
When the attack order was given, millions of demonic beasts lined up in front of the five major cities to attack the city. When the demonic beasts came within five kilometers, the Xuanjing Cannon on the city wall began to fire, knocking out the huge demonic beasts one after another.
Beasts were beaten to death, and some were directly blown up.
However, more of them rushed into the area within three kilometers. The five major cities had complete defense methods. Within three kilometers, they dug more than a dozen trenches more than ten meters wide, with sharp spears made of dark iron inserted in them.
, I don’t know how many monsters died in the trench.
Unfortunately, these situations were already within the predictions of the monster army. The first wave of attacks were monster monsters that were large in size and had a large number of races, such as pigs, sheep, and cows, which were used as cannon fodder.
After these demonic beasts used their bodies to level the trench, the main force began to appear. This time it was a team of more ferocious beasts, such as wolves, bears, tigers and leopards.
The human race and the demon race have been at war for who knows how many years, and they are very familiar with each other's attack rhythm. The mysterious crystal cannons and god-destroying crossbows on the city wall are constantly firing. When the demon beast approaches, monks will fly out, kill it, and then bring it with them.
Remove or destroy the corpses of monsters inside to prevent them from fighting to support fighting.
"Ancestor, it's getting dark, do you want to have a night battle?"
One day passed, and among the army of monsters, a sixth-level intelligent monster said to the eighth-level ancestor Kui Niu.
"No need, retreat, take away the corpses of those who died in battle, and let those monsters feast for a while."
"Yes, ancestor"
Then, as waves of beast roars sounded, the monster beast army began to retreat, taking away those monster beasts that died in the battle. A scalp-numbing chewing sound began to appear in the monster beast army.
"Brother, the monster has retreated"
"I know, what are the casualties today?"
"How many people died on the first day of the test? A hundred or so, and three to five hundred were injured."
“It consumes a lot of resources”
"Yes, the Xuanjing Cannon and the God-Destroying Crossbow fired out nearly 200 million Xuanjing. Not counting the damaged magic weapons and talismans, the monsters are getting smarter and smarter. In a month, who knows?"
The junior brother replied that they knew the plans of the high-level demon kings very well. The human race was far smaller in number than the demon race, but the human race had a huge advantage, that is, they could use magic weapons, all kinds of magic weapons.
Of course, there is also a weakness in using magic weapons, that is, money is needed to buy these magic weapons. When the monsters attack, they usually send cannon fodder to consume the human magic weapons. When they are almost consumed, once a hand-to-hand combat occurs, the human clan will
They are no match for the demon clan, and they can be killed by numbers alone.
"According to today's intensity, it can last for several days."
"Ten days. After ten days, only the Xuan Jing will be left to maintain the formation. The monks must go to war."
"How many mortals have withdrawn, how many flying monsters have intercepted"
"Three hundred airships have been transporting continuously day and night, and three to four hundred thousand people have been evacuated. The flying monsters have not gone out to fight today. According to the speed, the evacuation will not be completed in a month, and at least one-third of the mortals will have to be abandoned."
The junior brother replied that ordinary people are not as agile as monks. When evacuating, they must also take away a large amount of daily necessities. Otherwise, even if they reach the rear, famine will occur and a large number of people will starve to death. Therefore, the evacuation speed is very slow.
If these millions of people want to evacuate, not even a month is enough. Many, many mortals will die in every war.
"Let the second line of defense also start to retreat, as far north as possible, to free up positions, and let the second line of defense prepare resource reserves. It must persist for three months."
"Other colleges don't know that our Xuanhuang College has a dean who is in charge and is already doing it. However, Dongzhou's resources are still too few. They are all accumulated in the second line of defense, and the back line of defense is gone. Senior brother, it's
It’s time to suggest that the dean go to all the major sects in Central Continent.”
"I know, I will write a letter, but, hey, forget it, I won't say it anymore."
The senior brother sighed, all the major sects in Central Continent were fighting on their own and only caring about their own interests, how could they support Dongzhou for no reason.
In the history of Dongzhou, it is not that they have not asked the major sects of Central Continent, but their asking price is really too high, which makes Dongzhou, which has already suffered heavy losses, even worse. In order to pay tribute to Central Continent, it will have to save at least a few hundred dollars after the war.
It takes years to pay off the debt.
So after suffering several losses, Dongzhou began to strengthen itself, change the original social structure, educate the people, and strive for self-improvement. This approach is usually very useful, but when the monsters attack with all their strength, it fails. In the end, you still have to ask for help.
In Central Continent, who has the strongest strength?
One day, two days, three days, until the fifth day, the resources of the five major cities began to be exhausted, and the monks also needed to go out of the city to fight during defensive operations, which caused the casualties of the monks to rise sharply.
The most dangerous thing was on the eighth day. The intelligent monsters among the monsters judged that the resources in the city had been exhausted and attacked with all their strength. The monks were caught off guard. The Xuanjing Cannon, which had not fired for three days, once again used its power to repel the monsters.
.
But starting from the eighth day, the monsters began to attack day and night, non-stop for twelve hours a day, and did not care about casualties. The walls of the five major cities were very long. Originally, three or four hundred thousand troops in one city were enough to defend them. Now,
As the casualties increased, even the city wall was almost unsteady. How could it stop the army of monsters?
On the eleventh day, Xuanhuang Academy's defense line collapsed, and the top management began to evacuate with an army of less than 200,000 monks. Some abandoned monks and mortals became rations for monsters, and the tragedy happened again.
After dawn, the eighth-level ancestor of Kui Niu appeared in the city. Monsters all over the mountains and plains crossed the city and continued to move forward, chasing the fleeing monks.
"Continue the attack. This time, we will completely drive the human race out of Dongzhou."
Ancestor Kuiniu laughed and said, there are countless flying monsters appearing in the sky. Before, the city kept transporting mortals, but they never appeared, just to wait for this moment.
There was an army of monsters chasing behind them, and flying monsters in the sky intercepting them. The evacuation ships were shot down one by one, and the monks walking on the ground were constantly overtaken and devoured. The Dongzhou army lost tens of thousands more horses.
By the time they reached the second line of defense, Dongzhou had lost millions of monks, which was one-twentieth of the entire Dongzhou monks, and mortals had also lost tens of millions.
The second line of defense has thirty-six cities connected in a line, guarded by more than three million monks in total. The power of the human race began to gather, blocking the army of monsters in front of the second line of defense, and a tug-of-war began.
However, the second line of defense still made Dongzhou's senior officials worried. The mortals in the thirty-six cities continued to retreat, and the monks from behind continued to move forward to support.
The flying monsters also began to attack these transport convoys, and the losses on the human race continued to increase, and countless monks shed blood.
········
The third line of defense has also been established. The third line of defense consists of eighteen spiritual mountains, the lowest of which are fifth-level spiritual mountains. However, they cannot be connected in a line. They are intertwined. The headquarters of the Dongzhou Alliance Army composed of the five major colleges in Dongzhou is set up among them.
In the huge Dongzhou, the number of monks and the overall strength may not be as good as those in Nanzhou, but the high-end combat power is stronger than that in Nanzhou. It is not known whether the top two Tianyue Sect and Xuantianmen in Nanzhou have eighth-level monks.
But there are five people in Dongzhou.
These five people are the deans of the five major colleges. In addition, each college also has some deputy deans. The vice deans are required to be golden monks, thus forming the social structure of Dongzhou.
At this time, the five ancestors gathered together to discuss the battle on the front line. So far, all the news is bad. The human race has retreated 20,000 miles, killed a million monks, and lost nearly hundreds of millions of mortals. However, the monster army has lost less than five
Ten million, not a single demon king of level six or above died, all of them were cannon fodder.
"There are about 30 million major forces in Dongzhou, including casual cultivators, and about 20 million people can be mobilized by us. Now there are more than one million casualties. The situation can still be controlled, but what we are worried about is resources.
The problem is, now that Dongzhou has put out all its hundreds of years of accumulation, it can’t withstand it for long. Let’s discuss what to do.”
"What else can be done? It's not like we haven't fought a war. The hundreds of minerals behind Dongzhou are being mined with all our strength. Those mortals can't feed them in vain. The young and strong are all transferred there. The teachers in the alchemy weapon formation halls of the five colleges
The students will go all out to produce, and the spoils from the front line will be brought back as much as possible. Those who can be refined will be refined, and those who cannot be refined will be sent to Central Continent for trade."
"But it's still not enough. What we lack most now are high-level monks. There are so many gods and golden bodies in Central Continent. It's really a waste to put them there."
"You think it's a waste and they give it to you. It's not like they haven't offered a price. Can you, Rihua College, afford it?"
"Why are you still arguing at this time? Dongzhou is over. Dongzhou is over. We Dongzhou people are not dead yet. The worst we can do is fight against the monsters."
"Okay, stop arguing and just follow the old rules."
The five people shook their heads. At their age, they had fought countless battles and knew how to do it. The masters of the Dan Fu Weapon Array rarely went to the battlefield. They were all in emergency production at the rear. The monster materials captured on the front line were also there.
After transporting it back, major mineral deposits were excavated with all their strength.
But Dongzhou's strength is still too weak. As for the Danfu Weapon Array, their own men and horses alone cannot support the consumption. Now they are all supported by inventory, but how can the inventory support this consumption.
Three days later, eight airships flew in from the second front line, loaded with seriously wounded soldiers and frontline gains. There were hundreds of thousands of storage bags alone.
The eight flying boats landed at the third line of defense, put down the seriously injured, and then flew directly to Central Continent. All the gains above need to be taken to Central Continent for trade. The five major colleges all have business houses in Central Continent.
Before that, Dongzhou's monks in Central Continent had discovered the strength of the city shops under the sects of Central Continent, and began to contact the shopkeepers of the major shops to discuss transactions.
