The black fish monster was anxious now. If all the water monsters ran away, what capital would it use as investment? Do you want it to do hard labor for humans?
It positions itself as an agent among humans to manage water monsters...
So it hurriedly said: "The sea is not so easy to mess with. I heard them say that the sea in the east has been cleaned up by them and they are engaged in mariculture. If we escape there, we will also fall into the trap, and the mouth of the Yellow River,
There is only the sea to the east."
The old turtle's heart sank. It was impossible for the other party to lie about this matter because it would be too easy to be exposed.
There is also communication between aberrations. For example, they can often get news from alien birds flying in the sky.
Whether it is true or not, just ask the birds passing by in the sky to find out.
This means that its way of escape is also cut off.
It seems that we need to leave early. Remember that there are several large reservoirs nearby and several lakes upstream.
At this time, the old turtle was very grateful to his eighteenth generation ancestors. Fortunately, he had evolved the ability to live an amphibious life and could crawl on land, but these water monsters did not have this ability.
Thinking of this, it began to retreat quietly.
The carp monster saw its movements and immediately asked: "Old turtle, didn't you say you would take us into the sea?"
The old turtle was hesitant, so he had to say: "I am going to help you explore the way. Whoever wants to go, come with me now. The sea is so big, how can humans block it? Besides, they are not afraid of fish and fish dying and the net breaking. They will definitely let it go.
We are escaping. I know best about these humans. Each of them is most afraid of death. The higher the power, the more afraid of death. On the contrary, ordinary civilians who have little strength are the most willing to risk their lives."
When the water monsters heard this, they realized that this was indeed true. The sea to the east was at least tens to hundreds of meters deep, and it was impossible for humans to go deep into it.
In normal battles, those human cultivators all put their lives first, and would not trade injuries with them unless it was absolutely necessary.
They are very familiar with this situation, because in the animal world, beasts try to avoid fighting with opponents of the same level until they starve to death, because being injured means that they cannot hunt, which means death.
If those cultivators are injured, it means that not only will their cultivation be unable to progress, but a large amount of cultivation resources and time will be wasted on healing the injuries. Those resources could have been used to advance.
Especially the powerful Sanren people showed their performance vividly.
As for those powerful people who have formed an organization, the situation is only slightly better.
Ordinary soldiers do not dare to flee, nor can they flee. The probability of a deserter being caught is too high. In this case, coupled with the stimulation of profit, they can be driven to death.
But practitioners are different. The wilderness is so vast. If you just escape, there are places everywhere you can go.
"Yes, the old turtle said it well. As long as we run desperately, humans will not dare to stop us. Otherwise, everyone will trade their lives for lives, and they will not dare to trade. Let's talk about hundreds or thousands of water monsters here, and they have a castle.
There are only so many. If we spend all of them this year, what will they do next year?" The water monsters began to get excited.
The black fish monster has nothing to say. It really wants to say that humans are very powerful and are not afraid of you working hard, but no one believes it.
It knows very well why the sixth-level anaconda has been able to occupy hundreds of kilometers of waterways for more than ten years. It is precisely for this reason that if a strong human had dared to fight and sacrificed ten of the same level, he could have killed it.
But this is meaningless. Once you do one thing, there will be another one, and there is no way for a strong human being to produce it so fast.
Soon, the old turtle began to urge the water monsters on their way.
Some water monsters live in groups and even wanted to take care of their families, but the old turtle mercilessly rejected them.
So a group of water monsters left the anaconda cave in a mighty manner, and then headed northeast along the Yellow River.
Naturally, the Black Fish Monster quickly conveyed the news.
…………
Jihe Fort, the palace of the city lord.
"It's so funny. It was in vain that we were facing a powerful enemy, but in the end, the enemy escaped before we even tried our best!" A castle owner laughed "Haha".
He smiled very happily. In his estimation, although Shen Rui's cavalry was the main force, there would definitely be some losses in cleaning the battlefield and providing auxiliary support.
After all, trapped beasts still fight, and casualties are inevitable on the battlefield. If Lao Mi is so strong, thousands of people will die if he attacks a small country.
Now, the water monster has escaped directly, which means they can easily reap the benefits without any loss at all.
"We have become stronger now, and ordinary monsters are no longer our opponents." Lord Zhanbao said happily.
He remembered the past few years, when it was really difficult to survive. Every winter was the end of the year. With modern weapons, the hard work of ordinary soldiers, and the dedication of some selfless cultivators, he could barely survive.
Moreover, he is very clear about his position. In fact, there are factors involved in the aberration.
They did not use all their strength to attack the fortress. Those elites and high-level monsters did not move out, nor did they use all their tricks.
Otherwise, if they really unite to exterminate human beings, although they may not be able to do so, they will definitely be able to cause horrific damage.
For example, it would be very easy to attack human crops indiscriminately, causing humans to harvest nothing year after year.
Then humans can only grow food in castles, which risks huge plant alienation.
"Yes, we have really become stronger. From being able to hide in a small corner, to now being able to take the initiative and letting the enemy flee after hearing the news, this is definitely a huge improvement." Principal Wang followed.
He knew most clearly that most of this was due to Shen Rui. Without this outstanding disciple, this battle would definitely have been delayed for a long time.
First of all, the decapitation tactic may not be able to be used.
There are dead soldiers, but will the city lords be willing to use them?
Impossible. Death soldiers would only be used in extremely unavoidable situations. For example, if the castle is breached, or to support necessary locations.
And for a mere cleaning operation, it is impossible to use dead soldiers.
Then we can only use regular cultivator teams, and although those teams have combat effectiveness, they cannot withstand casualties.
If the casualty rate exceeds 10%, it is unbearable and requires retirement and reorganization.
Again, the average soldier team can withstand a 100% casualty rate. That is because they are quickly trained and can be formed in two years of training. Most of the cost paid is just the production cost of human time.
For cultivators, it takes three to five years from the time they start practicing at the age of 16 to entering the team for actual combat. For genius cultivators, it takes three to five years. For ordinary practitioners, it usually takes more than 10 years after graduating from high school, graduating from college, plus actual combat training.
Not to mention that their training costs are very huge, which results in a low casualty tolerance rate for the cultivator team. This is determined by the material basis. Even if the cultivators themselves are willing to fight to death, the superiors will not allow them to do so. If the mission casualties are expected If it is too large, the task will be abandoned unless it is necessary.
Fortunately, the appearance of Shen Rui completely changed all this, allowing advanced human cultivators to display their combat power unscrupulously without worrying about excessive casualty rates.
The existing team in the past has now become a truly powerful fist that dares to strike at any time.
Without Shen Rui, Principal Wang felt that at least Province L would have to endure for decades, waiting for the overall technological progress of mankind and the invention of better combat weapons before it could achieve the current counterattack situation.
