Chapter 316: Strict Defense, Discuss the Situation
On the battle wall, Xu Renli was analyzing the situation.
According to his estimation, there was something strange about the retreat of the demonic army this time.
After all, only 2 of the Wuzong-level evil demons were killed in the battle, and 9 were left without any injuries.
The army of tens of thousands of demons only lost about one-tenth at most, retaining most of its strength.
Who would believe that there was no evil behind such a sudden retreat?
Night falls.
Huge lights rise from all over the battle wall, like a huge light dragon in the dark night, majestic and extraordinary.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Renli and others were having a meal. There was no stove on, only some convenience food so that everyone could barely fill their stomachs.
"Night is coming. Don't be careless. There are some strange types of evil spirits that don't move out during the day but are good at moving at night. We must be on guard against them."
Xu Renli divided the people into two groups, one group defended in the middle of the night, and the other group patrolled in the second half of the night. This not only ensured that the defense task was not slackened, but also allowed everyone to rest for a while.
As for Cheng Xueyue, the only martial artist in the team, he arranged to stay in the middle of the night.
The night breeze blows slowly, bringing a bit of coolness.
Xu Renli, Cen Wan, some students from the gifted class, some third- and fourth-year students, and graduated veterans are responsible for patrolling a radius of more than one mile.
Standing on the wall, waves of footsteps could be heard.
Time passes.
Xu Renli paced back and forth, paying close attention to the movements on the other side of the battle wall, but found that there was no demon in sight. It was extremely quiet, and the silence was a bit strange.
"Is my guess wrong? They won't attack tonight?"
The evil spirits are very cunning. If they retreat suddenly during the day, they may choose to launch a surprise attack in the dead of night, catching everyone at Dalingshan Pass by surprise.
Therefore, Xu Renli arranged a strategy of patrolling in the morning and evening in order to prevent the evil army from attacking at night.
However.
Until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, there was deathly silence outside Dalingshan Pass. It was quiet and there was no movement of any evil spirits.
On one side, Mu Yueqi yawned.
"Master, your estimate is wrong."
"Who knows what the devil is up to? Rest."
Xu Renli strode to the side, where many tents were set up, where Cheng Xueyue and others rested.
"Associate Professor Cheng?"
In a tent, Cheng Xueyue quickly got out, already fully dressed, "Is there no movement from the demon?"
?”
"No."
Others were awakened one after another, put away their personal tents, and quickly switched defenses with Xu Renli and others under the leadership of Cheng Xueyue.
"As agreed, call me at five o'clock in the morning."
"good."
As a result, Xu Renli and others looked for a place to rest.
Basically, everyone carries a backpack made of sea tribe skin, which contains a change of clothes, a tent, some convenient food and other personal items.
"Everyone rest!"
"Yes, Associate Professor Xu!"
Therefore, Xu Renli waited until midnight to inspect the troops, then got into their respective tents and chose to rest on the spot.
Martial arts practitioners have strong qi and blood and much more energy than ordinary people. Even if they don't rest for several days and nights, they won't have any serious problems.
However, there might be a big battle next, and Xu Renli had to find a way to let everyone rest more so that their energy and spirit could be kept at their peak and their combat effectiveness would not be compromised at all.
In the tent, Xu Renli lay down on the ground and slept.
Ono was lying on the side, squinting his eyes slightly and taking a nap.
This time, if there is a war, it will become the busiest person, no, the busiest cat, wandering around the battlefield, absorbing the scattered human souls.
Just thinking about it makes me very excited.
At that time, if the spiritual power is strong enough, he will successfully betray the army and remove the "sub-system" of Lao Shizi deep in his soul...
So beautiful.
A night of silence.
At five o'clock in the morning, Xu Renli was woken up. He stood up like a carp, quickly dressed up, walked out of the tent, and found that the sky was gloomy.
Only in the far east is there a hint of fish belly white.
Xu Renli looked at Cheng Xueyue and asked doubtfully, "Is there no movement this night?"
"right."
Cheng Xueyue stood at the edge of the battle wall and pointed downwards, "In five hours, not a single evil spirit appeared."
"This is strange."
Xu Renli strode over and stood there, lost in thought.
One morning passed, and the demonic army still did not appear.
Lin Hong, the admiral of Qingshan, sent someone over to invite Xu Renli and Cheng Xueyue to the Dalingshan Pass Fortress to discuss the matter.
Five minutes later, in a conference room in the fortress.
Lin Hong, Deng Chun, Cui Zian, Huo Yichang, Jiang Jinhong and other big guys gathered together, only Xu Renli and Cheng Xueyue were outsiders.
"Associate Professor Xu, Associate Professor Cheng, please sit down.
.”
"good."
Xu Renli and the two sat down.
Lin Hong was the first to speak, introducing what happened last night.
"From last night to this morning, not a single demon appeared. Does this mean that the army of demons will not come again?"
Cui Zian said, "It's possible."
The director of the Martial Arts Discipline Bureau, the deputy commander of the military department, and others all nodded in agreement.
"Perhaps, the evil spirits discovered that our Daling Mountain Pass was heavily defended, so they retreated and went to other passes."
"That's true."
"Look, let's disperse early, spread our strength, and defend other levels, lest the evil army flees the mountain, which would be bad."
Deng Chun, Huo Yichang and others shook their heads, expressing their different opinions.
"Evils are extremely cunning. This time they gathered 11 Wuzong-level demons and an army of more than 50,000 demons. How could they give up so easily?"
"I think they will be very persistent in the Daling Mountain Pass. Their sudden retreat yesterday was just to paralyze us and make us relax our vigilance, and then... catch us by surprise when the army presses on the border!"
"It's a joke. Is the evil spirit a thousand-year-old vixen? And he still knows so many tricks?"
Cui Zian sneered.
"I see, you are just scared out of your wits by evil spirits!"
When he said this, he glanced at Deputy Admiral Deng Chun, and there was a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth, as if he looked down on him.
Deng Chun was furious and slammed the table, "General Cui, please speak more politely!"
"polite?"
Cui Zian snorted coldly.
"I don't know who it was. Yesterday, the demon chased me away in the first battle and almost lost?"
"you……"
Deng Chun's face was ashen. In yesterday's battle, he fought with the Wu Zong-level evil two-headed tiger and was almost killed by the two-headed tiger. Later, Lin Hong suddenly roared, breaking the two-headed tiger's soul secret move and letting him find it.
When he got an opportunity, he slashed the two-headed tiger with his sword.
Xu Renli sat there without saying a word.
Did these two guys have any conflicts before? Otherwise, they would target each other as soon as they started, and they would be so angry that they would not even care about the boss's face.
"Bang!"
Lin Hong's face was gloomy, and he suddenly slapped his palm, leaving a deep palm print on the table.
"Why are you arguing? This is a discussion now, not your quarrel! Associate Professor Xu, you are an outsider. Maybe you are a bystander. What do you think of the situation?"
