The beast tide has risen again, and the war is about to break out.
But this time, the scale is far greater than before.
Not only was the seventh mountain attacked by the beast tide, but also a large number of beast tides attacked the twenty-fourth mountain defense line at the same time.
"Something is wrong."
King Zhenyang frowned.
In the past few years, he had focused on resisting the monsters in the southern mountains.
Later, I focused on practicing.
Perhaps as the person in charge of the eight southern regions, he is not outstanding in political strategy, or even too mediocre, and can only barely maintain the situation of all parties.
But on the battlefield, he considers himself to be as good as any famous general in contemporary times.
Especially targeting the monsters in the southern mountains, he has spent countless efforts over the years and is very familiar with this.
"There are at least one hundred thousand beasts outside the city, and there are many monsters." Elder Zhou from the Chengming Tianshi Mansion said in a deep voice.
"They are all abandoned sons." King Zhenyang immediately concluded.
"There are hundreds of thousands of people, there are many monsters, they are so willing?" Elder Zhou asked in surprise.
"The most important reason why Prince Zhenyang's Mansion has been so difficult for so many years is that there are too many monsters in the southern mountains!"
King Zhenyang said slowly: "Not to mention killing all these one hundred thousand, even if you kill one million... there will be another million next year! They are different from the human race, they have countless races and the ability to reproduce , it’s even more astonishing…”
Speaking of this, King Zhenyang sighed and said: "They themselves are predators of the weak. They consume themselves in the process of hunting and being hunted. Now they are just driving these low-level monsters over and blocking our steps. For them, It’s innocuous.”
Especially different races!
A bear-like demon king may not want to see all of its own people killed and injured, but it will never pity the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in its own territory.
This is one of the reasons why there is an endless tide of beasts in the southern mountains.
"Twenty-four mountain defense lines were attacked at the same time."
King Zhenyang said: "More than one demon king has taken action, and they have probably reached an agreement."
After a pause, King Zhenyang looked at the topographic map on the wall and combined it with all the news that had been sent previously.
"The demon king has not yet emerged. There are very few big demons of even the level of the cauldron. We have sent a large number of small demons. No matter how many casualties there are, it doesn't matter."
"Their goal is not to defeat the Twenty-Four Mountains' city, but to cut off the Twenty-Four Mountains' defense line and block the Twenty-Four Mountains' general formation."
"Such methods have been used in the past after the 24th Mountain Defense Line was initially established."
King Zhenyang frowned and said, "Come back, the old method again?"
Although Elder Zhou is in the God Refining Realm and has extremely keen perception of thoughts, he does not know much about this kind of troop formation, so he just remains silent.
At this moment, all the generals in the big tent have been dispatched to deal with the incoming beast tide.
Only King Zhenyang quietly looked at the topographic map on the wall. After being silent for a long time, he received many more messages.
After combining the information from various places, we finally made some inferences about the intensity of the attack, the size of the beast tide in various places, and the direction and location of the attacks by birds and beasts.
"The beast tides in other places are mostly just bluffs, and there is no danger of the city being broken."
"But the Seventh Mountain City is in danger of being destroyed."
"If Headmaster Xuantian doesn't take action, even a young man like Lu Wan, with his power as a cauldron, can't stop him!"
King Zhenyang frowned and looked a little ugly.
Although Lu Wan's fighting skills are high enough to shock people, he is too young and may not know how to organize troops.
Therefore, he had previously sent a "strategist" to assist Lu Wan.
But the beast tide came too quickly, and the "strategist" was stopped midway.
Moreover, Lu Wan's background is well known. Not long ago, he was in the Qi Refining Realm. No matter how shocking it was, his ability was definitely not high enough to reach the threshold of God Refining.
Now the one attacking the Seventh Mountain City should be the Demon King from the God Refining Realm!
"I actually expected it."
Elder Zhou said: "That's why I asked my true disciple Li Shou to assist Lu Wan."
Because Li Shou assisted Lu Wan but was unwilling to guard Yishan alone, the Zhenyang Palace gave up the military power of Yishan to Si Tianjian.
For this reason, King Zhenyang was somewhat dissatisfied.
Therefore, Elder Zhou took the opportunity to mention this matter at this moment to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two families.
King Zhenyang frowned and glanced at him: "I've expected it for a long time, but you didn't tell me first? I've been calculating for a long time, do you understand that it will delay the battle?"
"..."
Elder Zhou coughed and said: "These can be discussed later, but Li Shou possesses the magical power of thunder and is a great master in making cauldrons. The exercises and secret techniques he practices are all the superior methods of my Chengming Tianshi Mansion, and he has a profound foundation. Even if he is no match for Lian Shen, he can still manage to fight and ease the situation."
"What about Lu Wan?"
King Zhenyang looked solemn and said: "A demon king may have more than three cauldron demons under his command! If the cauldrons come out at the same time, he may not be able to stop them!"
In view of the fact that Lu Wan's previous performance was too shocking and unexpected, King Zhenyang cautiously used the word "maybe".
But judging from the news, although Lu Wan is a genius, he is limited by his cultivation, and his training time is still too short.
"If only the seventh mountain is really attacked, the sixth and eighth mountains on both sides should be able to send reinforcements."
Elder Zhou whispered.
"All the commanders of the Twenty-Four Mountains have withdrawn!"
King Zhenyang said slowly: "Some of the new commanders have not yet arrived, and some have just arrived... They have not yet controlled the military power, and are not familiar with the Twenty-Four Mountain Front Army. In terms of scheduling in all aspects, they are probably in a state of chaos. Enter the eye."
Having said this, King Zhenyang frowned again and said, "The timing is too coincidental."
Just when all the commanders of the Twenty-Four Mountains were dismissed, the monsters in the southern mountains started a massive beast wave.
If it weren't for those demon kings still hiding in the dark.
He almost felt that this decisive battle had arrived early.
"And there are people who are proficient in planning over the southern mountains."
King Zhenyang said solemnly: "In the past, no matter how chaotic the situation was, as long as the large formation was mobilized, the twenty-four mountains were connected with each other, and the general trend was consistent, it would be impregnable and unbreakable!"
He looked at the terrain map and said: "This beast tide broke out suddenly, and there was actually a sequence. The fastest birds and strange beasts were used as vanguards to seize the 'vital' positions first, thus accurately Cutting off the formation tracks connecting the twenty-four mountains."
"I have been fighting the monsters in the southern mountains for so many years, until they become so fierce and brutal, but I am not afraid of their wisdom."
"They are monsters after all. Even if they have high intelligence, they almost all use it in practice and fighting."
"Their ability to use sorcery and face-to-face combat is no less than that of the strong men of our human race."
"But only in terms of 'formation', 'tactics of war', 'traps', etc., the demon clan has always been extremely superficial."
King Zhenyang said this.
But Elder Zhou's expression changed slightly.
Extremely superficial!
Does this mean that the monsters in the southern mountains already know how to use the art of war? Or even borrow a formation?
After all, there are demon king level beings who are comparable to great practitioners in the God Refining Realm, and there are many races with wisdom among them.
But King Zhenyang said slowly: "Among the southern mountains, the only one I have seen with such a plan is the ancient god and demon known as the 'Heart Monkey'."
"But the mental ape has disappeared for many years."
"Today, the beast wave has set off. The timing is so vicious, and the position taken is so tricky. Could it be that the monkey mind has reappeared?"
King Zhenyang thought about this, but saw another piece of news coming, which made his expression change, and then he became a little depressed.
But King Zhenyang looked at Elder Zhou.
"What's wrong?" Elder Zhou noticed the complicated look in his eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"Taoist Li Jiu, who is now in charge of the Sixth Mountain, seems to be aware of the critical situation in the Seventh Mountain, and has sent a thousand reinforcements to help." King Zhenyang said this: "The number of encounters is about three thousand. The whole army was wiped out by the beast tide."
"What?" Elder Zhou's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself: "No wonder King Zhenyang's eyes are so weird. Is he blaming me, the disciples of Chengming Tianshi Mansion, for not knowing how to use soldiers, and ruining these more than a thousand soldiers?"
"I was too rude just now." At this moment, King Zhenyang shook his head slightly and said: "Actually, at this moment, if you look carefully, his decision was not wrong! If his thousands of soldiers really After breaking through 'this wave of beasts' and establishing a two-mountain defense line, it will be easier to defend."
It can also be seen from this that Taoist Li Jiu is actually quite capable and can immediately dispatch manpower to rescue.
This shows that after the commander of the Sixth Mountain was removed, the remaining soldiers were willing to obey Taoist Li Jiu's orders.
He sighed, his expression still extremely ugly: "This tide of beasts is much more terrifying than I imagined."
Elder Zhou looked extremely surprised.
The King of Zhenyang has experienced many battles, many of which were decisive battles that brought peace and stability for 'ten years' in one go!
But it is obviously not the moment of decisive battle yet.
The scale of the beast tide is not that terrifying.
The Demon King in the God Refining Realm has not really appeared yet.
Why does King Zhenyang look so dignified?
"When passing by, thirty ferocious birds and beasts might be able to kill my team of twelve people."
"But a beast tide numbering three thousand will definitely be defeated by my military formation of one thousand men!"
"This is the elite of the frontier army and the power of the military formation!"
King Zhenyang said slowly: "But this time, all these thousand people were wiped out, and there were still 800 monsters left in the enemy! Did Elder Zhou see anything?"
Elder Zhou spoke in a complicated tone and said in a low voice: "The beast tide is no longer just sweeping like a big wave, but it has taken shape and has already formed a formation?"
King Zhenyang took a deep breath and said: "In the southern mountains, I am afraid there will be a great 'strategist'! There may even be more than one!"
After saying this, he walked forward, held the halberd in his hand, and said: "I am afraid that the seventh mountain city is unable to be rescued. Elder Zhou must accompany me to prepare for another matter!"
——
The seventh mountain city has more than 10,000 elites and more than 100,000 civilians.
But they are all facing the danger of "attacking the city"!
Among the response methods formulated by Grandma Sanzu before, the casualties have been greatly reduced.
The method chosen now is to shrink the defense line and hold on to the city!
Most of the soldiers have withdrawn into the city and are waiting for orders!
"The reinforcements sent by the Sixth Mountain were destroyed."
Taoist Li Shou exhaled and said: "The new commander of the Eighth Mountain is from Si Tianjian and has not taken office yet."
In fact, logically speaking, the most dangerous thing at the moment should be the leaderless and demoralized Eighth Mountain.
However, the beast tide's attack on the Seventh Mountain was the most violent.
That is to say, Lu Wan's previous troop formations were extremely powerful, and he was able to retreat into the city with minimal casualties.
"A tide of three thousand beasts wiped out more than a thousand elites."
Tu Yisan's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "It's amazing, these monsters are much more powerful than those recorded in the past!"
"Let's get through the current situation first, and then explore what's next."
Lu Wan said solemnly: "The channels leading to the Sixth Mountain and the Eighth Mountain for help are blocked...the formation tracks connecting the left and right mountains are also blocked by them."
Taoist Li Shou said solemnly: "Among the monsters, there are people who are proficient in formations. Otherwise, it would not be possible to cut off the mountain formations of the Twenty-Four Mountains so easily and accurately!"
"I can tell."
Lu Wan looked solemn and said: "Besides, birds and beasts are the most chaotic. They may not be of the same race. They have no trust in each other and can't talk about cooperation... But a tide of three thousand beasts wiped out a thousand well-trained people." Elite!"
Taoist Li Shou nodded and said: "The 'military formation' currently used in the beast tide may be of a higher level!"
Lu Wan took a deep breath, looking a little helpless.
Why was it that the first time he went to the battlefield, these demon kings also carried out a "military restructuring" and completely changed the way of the beast tide in the past?
With this thought in his mind, Lu Wan took a deep breath and felt a little pressure.
But before he could catch his breath, his pupils shrank and he looked towards the sky ahead.
South of the Seventh Mountain City, at the end of the sky, a huge figure appeared.
That's a giant bear!
The overwhelming power, the strong energy and blood!
Black Bear King!
The source of the beast tide!
An existence comparable to the God Refining Realm!
When the Demon King appeared, all the monsters seemed to feel the pressure from behind and started to attack them like crazy!
There are birds in the sky and wild beasts on the earth.
There are also poisonous insects and birds that have become sperm in the middle.
Gathering forces to form a formation is actually extremely mysterious.
"Fire the arrow!"
Lu Wan stretched out his hand and waved.
Previously, he killed more than 200 iron-winged condors and gave their bodies to the Qujiang Luo family to refine a batch of bows and arrows.
In addition, all the bows and arrows from the original armory have been taken out.
Immediately, the arrows flew away like rain!
"Open the formation!"
Although the Seventh Mountain City has severed its connection with the Twenty-Four Mountains, the mountain defense formation cannot be successful.
But the formation that belongs to the Seventh Mountain City itself is still there!
A large number of beasts collided in front of the formation, causing countless casualties!
"Blocked the first wave!"
Before Lu Wan could catch his breath, he saw a black light coming suddenly from the southern sky!
That's a spear!
On the spear, there are dense rune tracks!
"Is this... the formation-breaking artifact refined by Si Tianjian?"
Grandma Sanzu’s voice was also full of surprise.
Boom!
The spear passed through the light curtain of the formation and was nailed to the city wall!
The scene suddenly froze and seemed silent!
Then there was a huge crash, and a piece of the city wall where the spear was located collapsed.
The soldiers above the city wall suddenly fell, and there were countless screams.
Then a large number of ferocious birds crossed the formation and rushed into the city!
A large number of ferocious beasts and monsters surged in along the gap in the city wall!
"Gather the army together!"
Lu Wan's voice came again!
The power of the military formation is mighty!
I saw that all the houses in the city were shining with light.
It was just before that, he heard what Li Shou said and knew that a demon king was eyeing the seventh mountain city, so he prepared the method!
A large number of soldiers have entered the city a few days ago and drawn up corresponding formations to resist the evildoers.
"The master has already considered how to deal with the city after it is broken."
Bai Yuan glanced back and thought to himself.
At this moment, Lu Wan jumped down and stood at the gap in the city wall!
He raised the Duan Chen Sword, used his magical sword power, and swung it away with the "Sword of the Galaxy".
Then the sword energy turned into hundreds of star points!
Wherever it reaches, monsters will be killed!
Killed hundreds of monsters with just one sword strike!
But facing this tide of beasts, he was like scooping a ladle of water from a pond, to no avail!
But he stood in the gap, striking one sword after another, his energy seemed to be endless.
One person is in charge, and no one can open it!
There is nothing better than this when a man is alive.
"Venerable Lu!"
Taoist Li Shou glanced at the location of the spear and immediately said, "This is definitely not the work of the Black Bear King."
The previous spear must have been thrown by the Black Bear King!
But the location is too accurate, just at the key position for the formation's operation!
This is not what the Black Bear King can do in the intelligence.
At the side of the Black Bear King, at this moment... there must be an expert giving guidance!
"Pindao, go kill it!"
After Taoist Li Shou said this, he took a deep breath, transformed into escaping light, and walked forward.
There are a large number of beasts in front, endless beasts below, and a large number of ferocious birds above.
And at the end of the sky is the Demon King who is comparable to the God Refining Realm!
Li Shou is here to kill the "mysterious" master in front of the Demon King!
