Chapter eight hundred and ninety-first demon clan retreats
Three days later, Lin Xiao took Li Chaowen and Mu Wanqiu out of the camp, and the Elephant Emperor appeared with the monkey phase. Lin Xiao cast a spell to create a high platform, and the two and three demons sat down to negotiate.
The negotiation with the Monster Clan was much simpler than the previous negotiation with the Seven Star Pavilion. There was not much conflict of interest between them, they were evenly matched, and they had a common need for a ceasefire, so a ceasefire was an extremely urgent matter for both sides.
But Lin Xiao had one more request, which was to exchange prisoners, and named Yu Tianxiang, Yuan Ruoyun, and Jia Mengran by name. Lin Xiao had the eighth-level high-grade Elephant Demon King and Elephant Emperor in his hand.
direct descendants of.
The Elephant Emperor didn't know the identities of Yu Tianxiang and others before, but he realized now. The Monkey King explained on the side that the person was indeed in their hands.
At that time, Yuan Ruoyun died in the battle, Jia Mengran was captured, and Yu Tianxiang disappeared. Only Bai Zichen escaped from the siege. Later, when Yu Tianxiang learned that Jia Mengran was captured, he gave up the hope of breaking out and tried to rescue Jia Mengran and the others, but they also fell into it. Yu Tianxiang also
Died on the spot.
However, the three of them had death puppets made by Lin Xiao's death talisman. They did not really die, but came back to life. The high-level demon king realized that the identities of these three people were not simple, so he detained them, especially
Yu Tianxiang was still a high-level alchemist. After being exposed by the other captured monks, he became even more valued by the demon clan and wanted to regain Yu Tianxiang and work hard for the demon clan.
The three of them and a large number of monks have been imprisoned in the depths of the wilderness and are managed by the Demon Queen of the Elephant Emperor for more than a year. The Elephant Emperor does not know the specific situation.
He didn't care about Yuan Ruoyun and Jia Mengran, but Yu Tianxiang wanted to stay. A high-level alchemist was very important to the demon clan, and could even bring a qualitative improvement to the demon clan.
However, Lin Xiao firmly disagreed. The three disciples were indispensable. Lin Xiao not only had the eighth-level high-grade Elephant Demon King as a prisoner, but also captured many of them one after another. Lin Xiao would rather lose a little more profit in exchange for
Reject most of the captives.
The two sides struggled for a long time and finally reached an agreement. Xiang Huang retreated his troops and released all the human captives, while Lin Xiao would not send troops into the wilderness and would release all the demon captives in his hands.
Of course, we don't know how many prisoners the two sides have in hand. It's normal to say that they are all, and it's normal for each of them to take some. Unless someone like Yu Tianxiang already knows, otherwise they can only leave it to fate.
The negotiation ended quickly. After the Elephant Emperor returned, he ordered his troops to retreat. The demon clan slowly retreated south, and sent high-level demon kings to bring back the prisoners.
Lin Xiao did not order the pursuit. After the demon clan withdrew, the monks began to regain the lost territory. Seven days later, the Nanzhou demon clan withdrew from the human territory and exchanged prisoners. Yu Tianxiang and others returned, and the Elephant Demon King also returned to Nanzhou.
Among the continental monster clan.
Yu Tianxiang and others are not in good condition. They died in battle first and survived with the help of death talismans. However, they were all seriously injured when they were captured. They have not been treated for more than a year, and their injuries have further worsened.
Among them, Jia Mengran is the worst. It has already affected his career. It is hard to say whether he will suddenly become golden in the future.
The same goes for the rest of the prisoners. In more than a year, 30% of the prisoners died in the wilderness, and their bodies were devoured by monsters. It was very tragic, and few of the survivors were intact.
The monks who returned from the exchange were sent back to their respective families to recuperate, while the mortals returned to the alliance, and arrangements would be made in the future. Lin Xiao did not stay longer and immediately returned to Wu Kingdom to dispatch troops and generals.
Now that all the territory in the southern part of Nanzhou has been recovered, the Nanzhou Monster Clan cannot do anything. Lin Xiao will not trust the Monster Clan just because of an armistice agreement. If Nanzhou is defeated on the northern front, the Elephant Emperor will definitely make a comeback, and Lin Xiao will still
We have to worry about what promises the other demon clans from various places will make to Emperor Xiang, so that he can continue to contain Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao mobilized three million troops and deployed defenses in more than ten countries at the southwest end of Nanzhou. The remaining armies began to reduce their numbers. Nanzhou was in danger before. Lin Xiao did not care about the age or weakness of the monks or their level of cultivation. He organized and trained tens of millions of troops to maintain a huge army.
This is a helpless move.
But now that the territory has been recovered and the biggest threat to Nanzhou is gone, it is no longer possible to maintain such a large army. It cannot sustain it economically. Many sects do not even have the manpower to cultivate the spiritual fields in the core area. This is very disadvantageous.
.
Therefore, Lin Xiao disbanded all the small forces with less than 1,000 people and asked them to go home and arrange production. For the forces with a large number of people, they mobilized their elite troops in proportion and then went north to support the war.
The matter was very complicated. Lin Xiao asked Nan Xuan to deploy a large number of people with management experience to assist Wanju and carry out various tasks. Lin Xiao himself led most of the high-level monks to march eastward to repel the South Sea Demon first.
Let’s talk about the clan.
The demon clan in the northern part of Nanzhou is the main force of the demon clan in the west continent. It is not difficult to defeat them, but the demon clan in the south sea is much easier. There are not many terrestrial demon clan they have transported, and since the Elephant Emperor was in White Jade City,
After the defeat, they stopped shipping because they also realized that the opportunity had been missed.
Nowadays, there are about 40 to 50 million terrestrial monsters transported from the South China Sea to the southern part of the Qin State, and there are still a large number of them hoarded on various islands in the Luo Xing Sea. The total number is not much, and only 100 million monsters can be killed.
Lin Xiao came with millions of elite troops, and there were more than a hundred high-level monks. There were also three supreme monks, Lin Sen, Mu Wanqiu, and Li Chaowen. Their high-level combat power had already surpassed that of the Nanhai Monster Clan. Unless they continued to mobilize,
If you fight Nanzhou to the death, you really won’t be Nanzhou’s opponent.
The monks from the Ice and Snow Palace did not leave either. Lin Xiao continued to ask them to create ice and snow belts and forcefully push the monsters. Most of these monsters were monsters from the southern part of East Continent. The environment was similar to that of southern Central Continent and they were extremely unsuitable. South China Sea
The demon clan began to be slowly forced back.
Seeing the power of Nanzhou, the high-level demon king of Dongzhou was not willing to see his army damaged, so he asked the Nanhai demon clan to take those demon beasts back and start a strategic retreat.
Half a month later, Taiyi Sect regained Zhenhai City, but then Luo Xinghai had nothing to do for the time being. The main force of the Nanhai Monster Clan was the sea monster. Now the teleportation array on Luoxing Island has also been destroyed, and it must be defeated.
Only the monsters in the sea can take back these islands, but Lin Xiao didn't take any chances.
Lin Xiao left most of the Luo Xinghai monks and Taiyi Sect to guard Zhenhai City, while he led his team north to support Tianyue Sect. No matter what Tianyue Sect chose in the future, he was now a member of Nanzhou. Lin Xiao couldn't help but
May give up on them.
Lin Xiao led his elite troops to take the first step in a flying boat, and appeared on the front line of Xuanyue City three days later. It was a matter of course that he took over the command team. Even Kunlun was extremely helpless at this point.
They had always wanted Tianyue Sect to take over Lin Xiao's authority. Unfortunately, the senior leaders of Tianyue Sect could not compare with Lin Xiao in terms of talents. When Lin Xiao sent the monks from Murong Kingdom to go south, the various sects of various countries made their choices.
, they rejected Tianyue Sect’s order and chose to listen to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao learned about the situation on the battlefield of Tianyue Sect and found that the situation here was really complicated. There were monks from Xizhou, Kunlun monks, monks from hundreds of countries in Nanzhou, and there were also people recruited by Lin Xiao from Central China.
The situation among mercenaries is very complicated. Tan Mingzong was able to sort out these relationships and guard it for almost two years, which shows that Tan Mingzong's ability is much higher than that of Ma Langfei, Tan Minghua and others. No wonder he can take charge of the sky.
Yuezong.
Lin Xiao then inspected the front line and saw the Lingshan Mountains that were almost destroyed. After nearly two years of fighting, everything north of Xuanyue City was almost destroyed, but the defense line was still relatively stable.
After understanding the basic situation, Lin Xiao held a high-level meeting, with people from all forces participating. Lin Xiao also met Princess Mingyue, whom she had not seen for many years, but she is now the Moon Emperor.
Xizhou was destroyed and was pushed back. Tens of millions of troops took refuge in Central Continent. However, 30% of the troops were soon separated and were unwilling to continue the war. Before the war, the Qin State in Xizhou had an army of five to six million, and now the Moon Emperor has no more.
There are one million people, and the loss of strength is quite serious.
"Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Let's talk about the situation first. In the overall situation, the demon clan of Nanzhou has been solved. There is only one demon clan left on land, Xizhou. Dongzhou and Luo Xinghai can't regain it in a short time.
The east coast of Central Continent is still in the hands of the human race, so the most urgent problem we have to solve is the demon clan of the West Continent, or to be more precise, the Qin Kingdom’s front and the Murong Kingdom’s front.”
"Has Leader Lin come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy?"
"No, my idea is that we can't defeat the Xizhou Monster Clan"
"Why, Alliance Leader Lin, you can defeat the Nanzhou Monster Clan with two-thirds of Nanzhou's power. Now that all parties are gathered together, their strength is much stronger than you were before, why not defeat the Xizhou Monster Clan?"
"Fellow Daoist Mingyue, don't be anxious. Listen to me. I have two reasons. The first point is about our own strength. We did defeat the Nanzhou Monster Clan, but we paid a huge price.
More than 20 million monks died in the battle, wiping out all the stocks of various sects in various countries. Can you believe that the stock of spiritual rice in the entire Southern Continent is now less than one billion kilograms? It is not even enough for the army to consume for a month, and the same is true for other resources.
Without enough equipment, if we want to defeat the Xizhou Monster Clan, our casualties will be even more severe. Without the cost of tens of millions of monks, we simply cannot defeat them.
The second reason is also related to the first reason. In this battle between the two clans, the demon clans from three continents and two seas came out in full force and responded to each other. It seemed that they were closely related, but in fact there was no relationship between the demon clans at all.
Not united.
In the battle of White Jade City, the Elephant Emperor was defeated, but the Dragon Emperor of Xizhou did not take the opportunity to attack and rescue the Elephant Emperor. Why, they were waiting for us to fight to the death with the Elephant Emperor, and both sides would suffer. Now this expectation is the turn of Dongzhou, East China Sea and South China Sea.
Already.
I can guarantee that if we have a bloody fight with the Xizhou Monster Clan, after the fight, the Monster Clan in these three places will launch an even more violent attack and take advantage of us. Then it will depend on how the human race can stop them.
On the contrary, as long as we maintain a certain strength, they will not dare to act rashly, so we have to delay time and let Central and Southern Continent recover. This is the best strategy."
Lin Xiao replied that most of the countries in Southern Continent strongly agree with his strategy, but there are also many who oppose it.
