The Central Continent forces that had some friendly relations with Lin Xiao in the past chose not to put their eggs in one basket, shared the risks, and sent some troops to South Continent just in case.
Most people have a simple concept in their hearts, that is, they can die in battle and cannot become slaves of the demon clan. However, if they can preserve the inheritance of the sect under the premise of dying in battle, that would be the best.
This point cannot be eliminated even if the morale improvement brought by Kunlun's presence in the southeastern battlefield is. The battle will be a battle, but it does not prevent them from leaving a way out for themselves.
When the news of the Nanzhou Strategic Conference spread further and the measures taken by various sects to leave a retreat reached the casual cultivators, it caused great panic.
Lin Xiao's reputation in Central Continent is still very high. Many people blindly trust the predictions made by the big shots. In addition, various sects began to accumulate food and reduce the supply of food on the market. This immediately caused panic and a large number of people scattered.
Xiu took out his savings for many years and started to buy spiritual rice and some elixirs. They were afraid that after the defense line collapsed, there would be no more markets or cities, so naturally there would be no chance to buy these things.
The emergence of panic buying has artificially created a rice panic, and at this time, the major sects are afraid to release spiritual rice. They don't know how long the front can last. If they cannot sustain the next harvest of spiritual rice, their war preparations will also be affected.
It has a huge impact and enters a vicious cycle.
The price of spiritual rice increased several times a day, and soon it skyrocketed to the point where ten kilograms of spiritual rice cost one black crystal. Even so, it was still far from enough, so the wave of refugees began, and refugees began to appear in Central Continent. This time they
The main direction of escape is no longer Beizhou, but Nanzhou, because the stable situation in Nanzhou makes them feel safer.
The wave of refugees was within Lin Xiao's expectation, but the scale far exceeded Lin Xiao's expectation. When the number of fleeing monks from Qin State in Central Continent exceeded one million, Lin Xiao knew that South Continent was starting to be a little difficult to deal with.
"Leader Lin, this is the scene of the fleeing monks in Shengxian City. Our disciples recorded it with a photo stone. It is thousands of miles long, and there are many more to come. It is predicted that more than five million casual cultivators will enter Nanzhou, especially
The casual cultivators in the southeast battlefield area are basically empty and have all fled. What should we do?"
"Leader Lin, assuming that five million monks enter Nanzhou, it will cause great disruption to our strategic deployment. Five million monks will need to consume at least ten billion kilograms of spiritual rice a year. The market impact is too great. We ourselves
The resource reserves cannot be completed.”
"Leader Lin, with the arrival of these fleeing monks, a rush for food has begun to appear in Nanzhou. The price of spiritual rice has increased by one-third. If not stopped, we will become the executioners who harvest the wealth of casual cultivators, and will give
Many opportunities for unscrupulous businessmen”
Several senior executives said one after another that Lin Xiao explained the theory of how big forces used rumors to harvest casual cultivators during the Civil War in Central Continent. In the future, many merchants did not know about these methods, but now they understand, and they have the opportunity to practice them.
, the spread of rumors in Central Continent is due to the handiwork of these black-hearted businessmen.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, and order all the sects in each country. The price of spiritual rice is guided by the alliance. Anyone who dares to raise the price will be punished by the alliance, including being kicked out of the Southern Continent Alliance system and charged with disrupting military morale. Those who don't believe it
People can give it a try.
The second point is to increase the supply of spiritual rice, bring down the price, calm panic, and strictly investigate rumors in each country. Don’t think that there will be no consequences for spreading rumors.”
"Yes, Leader Lin, but what about our own war preparations?"
"The number of spiritual fields and spiritual rice production in the Nanzhou Territory is enough to feed everyone. Another five million is enough. The current shortage is mainly due to the rush to buy. After eliminating the panic, no one will grab enough later, so the price
It's much lower than you think. In addition, the coming of these people also provides us with labor and can increase our production. As long as we survive this year and wait until the next year's spiritual rice harvest, it won't be a problem.
Therefore, a recruitment office and a labor recruitment office were set up in the Qin State to recruit talents from the Danfu Weapon Formation into the Nanzhou Factory, and select smart and capable monks to join the army to eliminate hidden dangers to public security."
"Leader Lin, what if they don't want to?"
"Unless there is a powerful force that can issue a guarantee, monks above the Zi Mansion must leave their soul mark and portrait. Otherwise, they will be refused entry from various places. Once they commit crimes, they will be punished as traitors to the human race. This matter must be spread in advance.
Secondly, we launched a public opinion offensive and began to divert these scattered cultivators, but they were mainly concentrated in the area north of Qi State. How to publicize the specific propaganda should be left to specific people."
Lin Xiao calmly replied that now the main forces of various sects in Southern Continent are in the army. If these five million casual cultivators come in and cause huge hidden dangers to the public security of Southern Continent, Lin Xiao must divert them.
Recruiting workers, recruiting troops, and forcibly imprinting souls are all actions to prevent the deterioration of public security. As for keeping them in the north of Qi State, it is because it is close to the army. If something happens, Lin Xiao can suppress it.
Lin Xiao didn't take the issue of the refugees seriously. These refugees were unorganized and could not change the situation. Lin Xiao thought about it for several days and finally decided how to use the troops of the Six Prairie Kingdoms.
There are about three million monks in the Six Kingdoms of the Grassland. According to the rules, 1.5 million people need to be mobilized to fight. If Lin Xiao doesn't need that many of them, it will only increase the expenses of the alliance. Lin Xiao can only let them assemble and train by themselves.
, just need to mobilize 200,000 horses.
All these 200,000 horses were handed over to Commander Bai Zichen, who was to train Bai Zichen's new riding and archery tactics. Lin Xiao had already ordered the recruitment of a large number of bows and arrows. Nanzhou Factory, Wuguo Factory and Taiyi
The Menda Factory is rushing out goods, and it won't be long before enough bows and arrows are prepared.
They will practice for about three to five months, and then attack in the Murong country. The terrain in the Murong country is flat, suitable for cavalry. They will hone their tactics in small team mode, and at the same time consume a large number of monsters. Lin Xiao
It has been decided to consume more than 100 million monsters from the Xizhou Monster Clan before the Central Continent is defeated.
········
On the west side of Murong Kingdom, Lin Xiao arrived with Bai Zichen and other troops. Two hundred thousand elites from the six grassland countries had already arrived. These two hundred thousand troops were selected from three million monks. The monks of the Zifu Daogang Spiritual Light Stage
The ratio is very high. There are also ten high-level monks from the Six Kingdoms of the Grassland following them. Bai Zichen will be responsible for training them. When the time comes, they will be responsible for the specific command of the battle. This is mainly because Bai Zichen has multiple roles and really has no time to do it.
Already.
This could be regarded as a small mistake on Lin Xiao's part. Lin Xiao really didn't have many talents at his disposal, especially since these talents needed a certain level of cultivation support, otherwise they wouldn't be able to control the situation at all.
"Fellow Taoist Tie Fanghua, are these the elites of the six grassland nations?"
"Leader Hui Lin, yes, these are 200,000 elites, not one will be missing."
"Do you know about your arrangements?"
"I know, but the six grassland countries have only collected 30,000 magical bows, and the shortfall is very large."
"It doesn't matter, we will make up for the rest. The same goes for arrows. We want elites, so the magic bow will definitely be the best. The Zifu monks will never let them use the second-level magic bow, and the Daogang monks will not let them use the second-level magic bow."
There will definitely be a fourth-level magical bow."
"If that's the case, that would be great. There is no doubt that the riding skills of our monks on the grassland are absolutely first-class. Maybe the training time does not need to be five months, but one or two months is enough."
"Well, let's deal with it depending on the situation."
Lin Xiao nodded. If Nanzhou could build enough bows and arrows in a month or two, he could go to war.
"Zi Chen, it's up to you. These 200,000 troops must be trained as soon as possible. Before the Central Continent is defeated, the plan to bleed 100 million of the Xizhou Monster Clan is up to you."
"Don't worry, Alliance Leader Lin, there is absolutely no problem. Even with the current strength of the new army, it can be done."
Bai Zichen replied, it has been more than three years since the Elephant King of Nanzhou withdrew his troops, and the countries in Nanzhou have also accumulated resources for three years. If they really let go and fight, their current strength will be enough.
"It's good to be confident. You first have a chat with fellow Taoist Fang Hua to get familiar with it. I'm going to visit Qi State."
"Yes, Leader Lin"
Lin Xiao left after explaining some things. Then Lin Xiao hurried on as fast as he could, arriving directly at the Nanzhou Factory in Qi State in just a short time.
Lin Xiao came here mainly because of Tiangongmen's Ye Jiuji's report and the development of a variety of new weapons, which needed Lin Xiao's review. Once passed, they would be handed over to the factory for mass production.
"Leader Lin"
"Fellow Daoist Ye, let's get started. I don't have much time."
"Okay, Leader Lin, please come with me."
Ye Jiuji nodded. It was normal for Lin Xiao to have many things. Ye Jiuji quickly took Lin Xiao to a testing site. Lin Xiao saw something similar to a Katyusha rocket launcher and was immediately confused.
Already.
"Leader Lin, this is our newly developed large-scale crossbow. There is an arrow nest at the back, which can hold three hundred crossbow arrows at a time. The firing principle of the Xuanjing Cannon is similar. It uses Xuanjing as the power, uses the formation to accumulate, and then
Three hundred crossbow arrows are fired at once. The power of each crossbow arrow is the same. The arrow part can be replaced according to the enemy's situation. The arrows made of second-order black iron can pierce the defense of most monsters within three miles.
If you place large crossbows like this in a narrow terrain, you can destroy hundreds of thousands of monsters at once and completely defeat the monsters' offensive."
“How long does it take to install such an arrow nest?”
"Two quarters of an hour, we are making improvements. If the arrow nests can be removed by then and the remaining arrow nests can be directly inserted into them, it may be shortened to a quarter of an hour, but there must be enough weapon refiners by then.
Auxiliary, or specialized training monks”
"Try it and let me see how powerful it is."
"good"
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the test site, you launch at me"
"Ah, Leader Lin, this..."
"What are you afraid of? I am a Dongxuan Stage monk. Do you think you can hurt me?"
Lin Xiao sneered, and Ye Jiuji shook his head in embarrassment. Then Lin Xiao appeared directly in the test site a mile away, and Ye Jiuji ordered the launch.
Suddenly three hundred crossbow arrows came towards Lin Xiao, covering an area of about one hundred meters in radius. Lin Xiao held up the protective shield and felt the power of these crossbow arrows. Lin Xiao was very satisfied with this.
