The human monks who are now fighting against the invaders from outside Junchen are divided into several groups.
There are groups led by monks directly from Tiangong, groups organized by major holy land sects, and groups dominated by casual cultivators...
The origins of the members of this group led by the Cold War leader are complex.
There are a small number of monks who are direct descendants of Tiangong, and naturally they are basically trusted confidants during the Cold War.
There were also reinforcements sent by some Holy Land sects.
Among them, the monks from the Beast Control Sect are the main ones.
There are also monks such as Meng Zhang recruited.
Both the Dali Dynasty and Taiyi Sect were considered large cultivation forces, and they would have been recruited by the Tiangong when needed.
Generally speaking, the monks in the group basically obeyed the Cold War Master, were able to enforce orders and prohibitions, were consistent with the outside world, and did not cause any trouble internally.
Although Meng Zhang and the others were sent to the front line, it still took a lot of effort for Ban Xue Jianjun to be able to join the Cold War Master.
After bidding farewell to Master Cold War, Meng Zhang and the three of them quickly arrived at the stronghold where they were stationed.
This is a huge meteorite like a hill.
The surface and interior of the meteorite have been modified, and many magic circles have been arranged.
These arrays are mainly for monitoring arrays, and their main purpose is to assist the stationed monks in monitoring the movements in the surrounding area.
When Meng Zhang and the others were stationed at the stronghold, they did not seek to block the enemy when intruders from outside the territory invaded, but only needed to warn their main force in time.
Their work can be said to be easy, but it can also be said to be dangerous.
There are many similar strongholds in this area.
Whenever intruders from outside the territory make a large-scale invasion, they usually don't bother to divide their troops to raid these strongholds unless they are along the way.
With the strength of the Void Returning Power, as long as you are careful enough, you are generally not easily attacked by the enemy.
If individual enemies sneak in for reconnaissance, Meng Zhang and the others can handle it themselves.
If the enemy attacks in large numbers, they must retreat in time after sending a warning signal to the rear to avoid falling into a siege.
In strongholds like Meng Zhang and the others, if they are lucky enough, there will be no fighting for a long time.
But if you are unlucky, you happen to be in the way of the enemy's assault team. If they didn't evacuate in time, the outcome would be bad.
Meng Zhang and the three of them came to the stronghold and checked the magic circles inside to see if everything was normal.
In this stronghold, apart from Meng Zhang and the other three, there are some puppets.
The most powerful of these mechanism puppets are only in the Yuanshen stage. It won't be of much help during the battle.
But in daily maintenance of the stronghold, repairing the magic circle, etc., these agency puppets are inseparable.
Originally, according to the convention, powerful people like Meng Zhang and others should have a group of Yuanshen True Monarchs at their disposal.
Some time ago, our own True Monarch Yuanshen suffered heavy losses, and the few remaining True Monarchs Yuanshen were gathered by Cold War Master to the place where he was stationed to prevent their sacrifice in vain.
Meng Zhang and the others could have brought some Yuanshen True Monarchs with them.
But for both the Taiyi Sect and the Dali Dynasty, the True Monarch Yuanshen was nothing and could not be sent to such a battlefield to serve as cannon fodder.
Especially since the Dali Dynasty was secretly preparing for a war with the Purple Sun Sect, they had to concentrate their efforts as much as possible.
Therefore, Meng Zhang and the three of them came directly without any men or attendants.
Meng Zhang and the others did not have any subordinates, so they had to do many things by themselves.
Fortunately, these mechanism puppets are relatively powerful in the stronghold, which saves them a lot of energy.
There are many caves in this stronghold, which are enough for Meng Zhang and the others to live in on weekdays.
After checking the situation inside and outside the stronghold, Meng Zhang and the three of them began to become familiar with the surrounding situation.
Although they all have maps of the nearby areas, many situations still require personal experience in order to have an in-depth understanding.
Meng Zhang and the others came at a good time.
The previous fierce battle had just ended, and both sides suffered heavy losses, leaving a window for both sides to lick their wounds and recover.
In fact, the overall situation on the human side of Junchen Realm is much better than it was some time ago.
At the beginning of the invasion, various extraterritorial invaders joined forces to attack.
They are powerful and aggressive.
As for the human monks, they have always been prepared for the incoming invaders from outside the territory.
But you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days.
Over time, defense will inevitably have oversights.
Before the large-scale invasion by outside invaders, human monks were scattered among many strongholds outside Junchen Realm.
Many precious resource points require monks to be stationed there.
Coupled with the fact that Lord Xue Jianjun in Junchen Realm launched a cleaning operation some time ago to clean up the enemies inside Junchen Realm, the main attention of the human monks naturally returned to the interior of Junchen Realm.
Another point is that during the peaceful time when there are no external enemies, the human monks have constant internal disputes and fierce internal fighting.
This time, the various extraterritorial invaders rarely joined forces and launched an offensive with rare ferocity.
The human monks who were not well prepared were defeated one after another from the beginning, and they kept losing cities and places.
The human monks, who were retreating steadily, retreated until they were near the Junchen Realm, and then barely stabilized their position.
The human monks suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately the loss of the Void Returning Power was limited.
This is all due to the characteristics of Dao Sect's powerful ability to return to the void, which entrusts the Yang God to the heaven and earth and is very difficult to be completely obliterated.
After the reaction within Junchen Realm, Tiangong mobilized its troops in time and organized the major holy land sects to set up defenses outside Junchen Realm, temporarily blocking all kinds of extraterritorial intruders.
The great enemy is at hand, and the disputes and internal fighting within the human race have temporarily ceased. Everyone must first deal with the external enemy.
Now, the defense line on the human side has stabilized.
The human monks and the foreign invaders entered a stalemate stage.
Of course, as soon as the war situation stabilized, there were turbulences within the human race.
Many people with ulterior motives want to be held responsible for the unfavorable war some time ago and the heavy casualties on their side.
In the middle, there are disputes between the Heavenly Palace and the major holy land sects, and there are conflicts between the major holy land sects...
Meng Zhang was punished twice and was also affected by these things.
Of course, the top leaders of the human race are not fools.
The powerful extraterritorial invaders are still watching eagerly from the sidelines. The war is not over yet. They cannot really ignore the overall situation and start fighting like this.
The purpose of their fight is just to gain benefits and embarrass their opponents, not to ruin the overall situation.
Everyone talked to each other, compromised with each other, and it was over.
Until the threat of extraterrestrial invaders is lifted, overall peace within Junchen Realm must be maintained.
Emperor Bawu and Chunyu Zhongda, like Meng Zhang, had the experience of being in the void before advancing to the Void Return Stage.
In fact, they were much older than Meng Zhang, and their experiences in the void were richer and longer than Meng Zhang's.
Meng Zhang and the three of them quickly adapted to the environment and became familiar with the situation here.
