"There are less than 10,000 people left in the big city of more than 30,000 people. The Dusk Desert is known as a thousand cities. This time, more than 300 cities fell directly into the hands of the Sand Scorpion Clan. Although many cities have less than 10,000 people, but this In this war, there were at least millions of human casualties here in the Dusk Desert." Zhang Changkong stood on one of the stone pillars that destroyed the city's lord's palace, looking at the sparse crowd in the city, and only then did he feel that the human race could survive in the wilderness. not easy.
Zhang Changkong jumped off the stone pillar and said to Xu Ying: "Without further ado, we have spent one night here at Dongtang Oasis. In order to prevent the escaped Sand Scorpions from reporting to Shuikou Oasis, we will set off immediately to try to bring Shuikou Oasis to Shuikou Oasis." By taking it down in one go, half of our mission will be accomplished, and the only thing left is to prevent the Sand Scorpions from taking it back."
"Everything depends on senior brother," Xu Ying said. She now had some blind faith in Zhang Changkong's strength.
"What should we do about Wu Yu? Should we ask her to come? She is organizing people to collect the remaining supplies in the city," Xu Ying pointed in one direction and said.
"Go and tell her. She can go with you or stay here. The Sand Scorpions here have been dispersed and there are no reinforcements. They probably won't attack here in a short time." If Zhang Changkong hadn't felt that Xu Ying His super long-range vision was still somewhat functional, so he didn't even plan to take her with him.
Zhang Changkong watched Xu Yingyuan leave. Now he was thinking about a problem. As long as he planned it properly, there would probably be no problem in building the Shuikou Oasis. However, the guarding was giving him a headache.
No matter how powerful Zhang Changkong is, he is only one person after all. He has no skills at all. In a short period of time, he can run back and forth, but this battle with the Sand Scorpion Tribe does not know how long it will last. It can be as short as three to five years, or as long as Then seven or eight years is possible, and even more than ten years is normal.
Although after capturing this place, the sect will mobilize some warrior troops to assist in the defense, but what use are mortal warriors to enemies of the level of the Grand Commander Sand Scorpion last night?
According to the information Zhang Changkong received, before the sect recruited them, this tug-of-war with the Sand Scorpion Clan had been going on for almost ten years.
This battle is not about the two sides gathering all their combat power and winning or losing in one battle, but about using each city in the oasis as a stronghold to fight for it.
The Sand Scorpion Clan probably wanted to destroy the realm formation established by the Xiangshan Sect in the Dusk Desert, so they attacked cities one by one.
The Xiangshan Sect may have activated the second-level recruitment order because more than 300 cities were captured and the realm formation was in danger, so they must defeat the Sand Scorpion Clan in one fell swoop.
However, although Zhang Changkong has no good solution for the time being, he still needs to do what needs to be done.
"Here we are, let's go." When Zhang Changkong saw Xu Ying and both of them had arrived, he didn't say anything more and let the Golden Needle Hornet pick them up and fly towards the Shuikou Oasis.
Two hours later, Shuikou Oasis was already in sight.
Zhang Changkong thought about how big the desert was at dusk. Even if the wasps flew in the wrong direction and took some detours between these two oases, they were still at least 600 kilometers away.
There are no less than a thousand such oases found in the Dusk Desert, and there are even more that have not yet been discovered. The area of the Dusk Desert may account for one-tenth of the territory of the Xiangshan Sect.
after an hour.
"How's it going? How's the situation with the Sand Scorpions in the city?"
Zhang Changkong asked.
"Senior Brother Zhang, this Shuikou Oasis is not one-fifth the size of Dongtang Oasis, and the city is also relatively small. There are not many Sand Scorpions, only about five hundred people, and less than a hundred Sand Rats," Xu Ying said uncertainly, " I found that there was probably only one leader-level Sand Scorpion tribe there, but my observation time was short and I didn’t know if there was any hidden one.”
"So that's it. The Sand Scorpions didn't grow up eating sand after all. There are few resources in the Dusk Desert. How can they support the overwhelming army of the Sand Scorpions? What's more, their front line is not in this direction. Can there be any people here? So many Sand Scorpions are already very good." Zhang Changkong felt that when the sect did not issue a recruitment order in the past, the sect did not put much power in the dusk desert. If these cities can be guarded by a commander-level sand scorpion, it has already been enough.
"In this case, you first determine the location of the commanding sand scorpion clan and attack directly later," Zhang Changkong said.
…
Xu Ying was carefully observing the situation in the city, while Wu Yu was doing nothing.
"Hey, Xu Ying, tell me, how strong is Zhang Changkong? We knew before that there was a huge gap in strength between late-stage Warlock and early-mid Warlock, but we didn't expect it to be so big. You tell me, the two of us, come here Does it really make sense?" Wu Yu asked Xu Ying.
Xu Ying thought for a while and said: "In terms of fighting, we may not be able to help Senior Brother Zhang, but no matter how strong Senior Brother Zhang is, there are things he can't do. For example, the water source in the oasis has been polluted by the Sand Scorpions, and you are the only one with water attributes. Monks can purify. For example, if Senior Brother Zhang is injured, only us wood attribute monks can heal the injury quickly. Therefore, we have things we can do, and Senior Brother Zhang has things that Senior Brother Zhang can do. Don’t think too much about it.”
"Oh, I'm just envious of Senior Brother Zhang. Even if our cultivation reaches the late stage of Warlock, we probably won't be as strong as Senior Brother Zhang. With Zhang Changkong's spells, you can tell at a glance that he has reached the peak of his cultivation," Wu Yu said with some frustration. : "We have been practicing for a lifetime, and the late stage of warlock is probably our limit. Only monks with extraordinary talents like Senior Brother Zhang can look up to the realm of mage."
Xu Ying was silent for a while and said: "Most people in the Xiangshan Sect are like this. Those who can hope to reach the realm of mage are only the privileges of a few people. Even if we are not willing to do so, what can we do? This is our fate."
"No, from the day I tested my talent, my destiny and the destiny of my family have changed. I have always thought like this. From that time on, I thought that I would definitely become a great cultivator. "So, over the years, I have practiced diligently every day. It can be said that I have never slacked off for a day, but why is this so? There is no reward for my efforts." Wu Yu kicked his foot, raising a cloud of dust, "Xu Ying, I believe you are too That's it, otherwise your talent is almost the same as mine, how could you enter the middle stage of Warlock before me?"
Xu Ying withdrew her gaze, looked at Wu Yu, and said, "Even so, what do you think?"
Wu Yu smiled and said: "To make up for our lack of talent, we probably have to use resources to supplement it. A leader-level Sand Scorpion tribe can exchange it for twenty points of merit. One merit and ten vitality stones are almost the same as ours." I’ve earned a whole year’s worth of vitality stones.” Wu Yu said in a deep voice, “It’s better for the two of us to win the commander-level sand scorpion here.”
