"When I went back, many places in Independence City were attacked by gluttons, and there were also some unknown creatures. This is the image I sent back. Take a look..."
As he spoke, Bai Ze raised his hand.
A picture is projected in the void, which is the scene of the Independence Army fighting against Taotie.
Soon, the influence of other creatures inside was discovered on both sides, which were... strange insects!
"really."
Ling Xuewei's eyes darkened slightly, her expression showing no surprise.
"Have you seen it?" Bai Ze was stunned.
So she recounted the attack on Liucheng two days ago.
Bai Ze said, "These bugs are more troublesome for monks than gluttons. They feed on spiritual energy. Have you ever thought that not everyone in Middle Earth has the ability to fight against these bugs."
Ling Xuewei naturally understood what Bai Ze meant, and then Bai Ze played out what he saw and heard along the way in an influential way. There were gluttons raging everywhere, wars were raging, and all life was in ruins.
It's like an apocalyptic scene.
Even through the screen, it's still shocking.
"Wait for me to get off."
Ling Xuewei left the space and called Xiong Cang to give some instructions. She also left a message for Ye Moyan and then returned to the space. Bai Ze took her back to Independence City.
As soon as she came out, Ling Xuewei smelled a vague smell of blood. This was Xinglan City. Di Jian had been stationed here with his troops for a while. As soon as he came out, she saw Di Jian coming up to her with a happy face.
"Does it really work? It's amazing. I didn't believe it when he told me before! It's so convenient, much easier to use than the teleportation array!" Di Jian said excitedly.
Ling Xuewei was speechless.
Sure enough, someone's focus is different from ordinary people...
Di Jian was wearing combat uniform at the moment, with a few traces of blood on the clothes. When Di Jian walked over, a smell of blood hit her face.
Before Ling Xuewei moved, Bai Ze next to her took the lead.
"Don't get so close."
Bai Ze blocked Di Jian rudely.
"Ah? What's the matter? Xiao Wei'er will never dislike me!" Di Jian said while looking at Ling Xuewei flatteringly, "right?"
Bai Ze said with a cold face, "She is pregnant."
"oh……"
Di Jian nodded first, and then screamed.
"What did you say?!"
One stone stirs up thousands of waves.
Ling Xuewei took out her ears and looked at the expression of the person in front of her who was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out of her head, helplessly, "Is it so incredible that I am pregnant?"
"No, it's not... I'm, isn't this a momentary shock... Why don't you sit down and stop standing. Are you tired? Hurry! Take a drink of water..."
Di Jian was already at a loss. Her expression was both surprised and happy. She completely regarded Ling Xuewei as a fragile doll and almost couldn't find a place to raise her.
Di Jian's appearance made Ling Xuewei dumbfounded, "Okay, stop being so busy. I'm still young this month and not so squeamish."
"Why didn't you tell us earlier! Why didn't you tell us such a big thing?! That person in your family is so big-hearted that he dares to let you out like this! He's not afraid of what may happen to you!"
Just a few steps, what good can it do?
However, after Di Jian reminded Ling Xuewei, she remembered that because she was in such a hurry last time, she forgot to tell her father and elder brother about her pregnancy. No wonder she always felt as if she had forgotten something.
People say that one pregnancy lasts three years, so she just got pregnant, so she couldn't have started pregnant right now, right?
You have to take the time to tell them when you get back, otherwise they won't know how to scold her if they find out in the future.
"But are you fast enough? How long have you been married? Or..." Di Jian suddenly showed a lewd smile.
Ling Xuewei, "..."
What should I do if I really want to beat him?!
In the end, Ling Xuewei spared Di Jian for the sake of Di Jian's extremely hard work recently, and wrote it down for the time being, so that we can sort it out together in the future.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were finally able to sit down and talk.
Of course, Ling Xuewei was the first to know about the situation in the Independent State. As Bai Ze said, wars have been raging in recent days, and various parts of the state have been frequently attacked. For safety reasons, the entire Independent State has been placed on level one alert, and all city gates that are normally open have been closed.
closure.
Business transactions were also completely prohibited, and all the people were gathered in air-raid shelters, protected by heavy troops. Fortunately, when Ling Xuewei established the prefecture, there were granaries in each city for war reserves, which came in handy now.
The food reserves in the city are enough to feed the people for three months, so there hasn't been any trouble yet.
Although she usually governs her subordinates with "benevolence", during wartime, she completely switches to military management. Once she finds someone with bad intentions, she will show no mercy, so the military power is higher than the lower ones.
What a mess.
There are soldiers patrolling everywhere in the city, most of them on the city walls. Among the nine legions, except for the first army and the second army, which are responsible for 20%, the rest are all one army and one city.
The guards on the city wall change their defenses three times a day, and go to a fixed location every day to collect military supplies, weapons and ammunition. However, the consumption in these two days is almost as much as the consumption in a month on weekdays. If this continues, even if there is room for action,
Support will always be exhausted.
Nowadays, the space needs to support not only the Independent State, but also the Tianxing Sect, the Si Family, and the Fanxu Army. Although they are all based on the first three places, they still consume a huge amount of money.
If it were not for the time difference, I am afraid that the supply would have been long ago. In addition, the materials required for some weapons are extremely rare. If the endless consumption continues like this, sooner or later there will be insufficient supply.
"If it's just a glutton, that's it. This time, a kind of weird bug has reappeared. They are so ferocious that spiritual energy is useless to them. We can only use weapons to attack, which intensifies the consumption..."
Di Jian suddenly thought of something, "I heard that this thing also appeared over Fanxu?"
"Well, I've fought them at close range, and it's really tricky." Ling Xuewei nodded, "How are the casualties among the troops?"
Di Jian's eyebrows were serious, "In five days, the First Army lost 3,000 lives and injured more than 10,000 people. This was even with the support of a steady stream of elixirs. The First Army was like this, let alone other places.
"
In terms of combat effectiveness, the First Army is naturally the strongest.
Three thousand people...
In just five days, three thousand people died!
Although war is always accompanied by casualties, these are Ling Xuewei's soldiers, trained by her!
Most of the First Army were elite members of the independent army, and they were the first soldiers to fight with her! No one could understand her mood at the moment.
Ling Xuewei felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.
"Xiao Wei'er..." Di Jian looked at her worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I haven't been back for a long time. Please take me to the army to see you."
"good."
After lighting a stick of incense, the three of them headed towards the military camp.
At this moment, Ling Xuewei changed into casual clothes, wearing a black combat uniform and military boots. As she walked along, she felt a bit cold and chilling. (To be continued)
