Lu Yuanxi's face turned pale, and he thought of a possibility.
Just now I was considering the issue from the other side's point of view, and suddenly I thought of the possibility that it would be very detrimental to my own side.
In the past, he paid too much attention to the safety of this city. He always thought about how to protect the safety of human lives in this city, and his eyes were locked on a small area.
The current Army Soul City has defeated the sieges of ferocious beasts several times. It is a difficult nut to crack. Either the ferocious beasts send out a large number of troops, and extremely powerful beast spirits may be able to capture the General Soul City. But this will definitely cost a lot and is not worth it.
And if you feign an attack here, add troops to other cities, capture the weak cities first, and then besiege Army Soul City, it will definitely be a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If this was the case, the entire Eastern Region would really be over.
This is not a very clever tactic, but it is fatal for the Eastern Region at this stage. The reason is that the Eastern Region is at an absolute disadvantage in the war.
If the beast spirits' side adopts the strategy of encircling the center from the outside and succeeds, the Eastern Region will surely perish. At this moment, someone came to report, and several cities sent emergency requests for help.
On the surface, there are Xunfan and Situ You in the current Army Soul City, and they are very powerful. In fact, Lu Yuanxi has a back-up plan secretly for emergencies.
But he didn't know if other cities had such preparations. Because the beast's siege was too sudden, the military's arrangements were not yet fully in place. This made the military command center, Military Soul City, not very familiar with the situation below.
Therefore, Lu Yuanxi became even more worried. The only solution now was to send people to other cities for reinforcements.
But this is also a huge problem. If there are too many people sent, what will happen if the beasts ahead attack. Sending less people would not solve the problem at all. He thought about it and finally decided to send a few powerful cultivators to attack and provide support in other places.
Without further ado, he quickly held an emergency meeting and sent guards to each house to invite important people. He also asked Xunfan and Situ You to be invited.
After a while, everyone arrived, including Xunfan and Situ You.
Lu Yuanxi sat in the chairman's seat. Everyone took their seats. Lu Yuanxi expressed his guess.
Everyone here thought it was reasonable. It would be extremely urgent if the guess was true.
Because more than twenty days have passed since the last war, if the beast really has other plans, they may have already been deployed. Human beings are already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of time.
After everyone unanimously agreed, reinforcements must be provided to other cities, otherwise the consequences would be unforeseen.
But the problem is that if a large number of troops are sent, the beast will inevitably send troops to stop it. It is difficult to achieve the expected effects of humans.
However, if a small number of troops are sent, the purpose of rescue will not be achieved. After careful consideration, sending powerful people to other cities for support is a feasible solution.
Xunfan and Situ You are the best candidates, but Xunfan is unwilling to accept it.
At this critical moment, Xunfan doesn't want to leave his family. He has been away from home for such a long time and cannot be with his family, especially in this life or death moment. Xunfan doesn't want to do this. He also explained his thoughts.
Lu Yuanxi walked up to Xunfan and bowed deeply.
"It's really against common sense to ask you to leave home at this moment. It's hard for me to say it, but for the sake of countless humans in the Eastern Region, as the marshal of the Eastern Region, I have to plead with you sir. As for your concerns, as the son of man It is human nature to be a father. Why do we cultivators practice? The biggest reason is to protect the safety of our families. I solemnly promise here today that as long as I am here, I will not let Aunt Xun have any trouble. danger."
"I believe that Sir will not doubt this. I did this when Sir was in trouble last time. As for Sir, who is worried about who can resist the attack of ferocious beasts after you and Mr. Situ leave, Sir, please rest assured. I still have some in my hand. The trump card is that there are some powerful practitioners in the secret. Although they cannot compare with the power of Mr., it is not difficult to defend the city. "
"Now, with my status as a marshal, my reputation as a prince, and my own life, I guarantee the safety of the Xun family. Besides, if the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact. If the beast plan is successful, even if my husband is here, can I keep my family safe? Really? I'm here to take care of you, sir." After saying that, he gave another deep salute and bowed to the ground. "
Xunfan quickly helped Lu Yuanxi up, but now he really hesitated. Seeing Xunfan's hesitation, Lu Yuanxi shouted: "Anfeng, come out." As soon as the voice fell, thirty people dressed in black walked out of the back hall, even their faces were wrapped in black cloth, with only two eyes exposed. people.
Xunfan turned around and saw that the strength of these thirty cultivators was quite high. Almost every one of them was in the realm of artistic conception, which was not much different from Splitting Heaven. He didn't expect that Lu Yuanxi would have such a trump card in his hand.
In fact, Xunfan's original personality was relatively weak. After cultivating the three sources of energy, his personality changed. But the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.
Especially when this matter involved his family, it made him very embarrassed. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to save other humans, but he knows that he can't do it with his own strength alone.
If he had to choose between other people and his family, he would choose his family without hesitation.
Xunfan originally had great ideals and wanted to stand out and honor his ancestors. Who doesn’t have this idea?
But after two years of being separated from his family, he finally knew what he wanted most. Compared with his family's safety, he wanted his family's safety more. Now he is more clear about this.
After practicing, he became countless times stronger than his previous self. This cannot protect the safety of my family, and cultivation is of no use. Therefore, he was unwilling to leave, even if he died, he had to face it with his family.
But he is not an indifferent person. Seeing the people of the Eastern Region in a life-and-death crisis, he, a man who has the ability to take action, remains indifferent and feels uneasy.
In addition to protecting his family, his current practice is to constantly improve and perfect himself in practice.
Moreover, in Xunfan's heart, he has never let go of the big crisis described by his master and the senior who granted him the "Five Source Battle". For this reason, he will practice even harder.
Regarding what Lu Yuanxi said, Xunfan understood that Lu Yuanxi's words were reasonable and impeccable, both in terms of logic and the overall situation.
But it was really hard for him to make a choice if he had to give up his family's safety. He took a deep look at Lu Yuanxi, said nothing, turned around and walked out of the house.
Xunfan's behavior made many people present very dissatisfied, and some even had an attack. Xunfan's indecisive behavior is hard to agree with.
Lu Yuanxi quickly waved his hand to stop him, "No matter what choice Mr. Making the decision to leave your family is really hard.”
He paused, turned to Situ You and said, "I wonder if Mr. Situ agrees?"
"I am a person with nothing to worry about. I only follow the Marshal's orders." Situ You said with a smile.
"Well, I will send ten people from Dark Wind and ten people selected from the army to follow Mr. to support you. We will wait for Xunfan for another hour. If he doesn't come, you can set off.
Some people suggested leaving immediately, but Situ You said he believed Xunfan would come.
Xunfan left the commander's mansion and flew home. When he came to the window of his mother's room, the light was still on. He heard his mother and daughter talking and laughing, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
At this time, the mother's voice came from the room: "It's Fan'er, come in."
Xunfan hesitated for a moment and opened his mother's door. Seeing her grandfather and grandson sitting on the bed chatting, Xiao Xiner jumped out of bed when her father came in and threw herself into his arms.
Xun Xiner's relationship with her father has always been very good, especially after her father came out of the mountains and knew that her father was not dead, her relationship with her father became even stronger.
She was acting coquettishly in her father's arms. Xunfan's heart ached even more unbearably.
The father and son played around for a while, and the mother said, "Fan'er, come here so late, are you okay?"
"No, I just wanted to see you." Xunfan didn't tell the truth.
My mother said sternly: "Have you encountered something difficult to decide? Is this matter related to our grandparents and grandchildren? You have always been like this, always hesitant when it comes to things related to us."
He knows his son better than his mother, and his mother's words touched Xunfan's heart. He had to speak out what was on his mind.
When Xunxun Xin'er heard this, she immediately objected firmly. The reason was that others had nothing to do with her family, and her childish mentality was clearly revealed. At grandma's command, she was so angry that she stopped talking.
"Fan'er, now mankind is at a critical moment of life and death. You are a cultivator. If you can help mankind, you should help. If mankind is extinct and only our family exists, what's the point? Mom doesn't know what the truth is. , but I know that I can’t watch human beings being slaughtered, otherwise you will be in trouble for the rest of your life. Go, mother, Xin’er is waiting for you to come back at home. Mother believes that you will not forget our grandparents and grandchildren here. Go!” Mother! He looked at his son and said.
Xunfan's eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, as if something was stuck in his throat.
He glanced at his mother and daughter, turned and walked out of the room. Outside the door, he heard his daughter crying, calling daddy, daddy again and again.
He couldn't hold back his tears anymore and he didn't dare to stop. He was afraid that once he stopped, he wouldn't have the courage to leave.
Yes, mother is right. If he watched human beings die miserably and did not help, he would be uneasy for the rest of his life.
