Xu Yuan looked at the kneeling man in front of him and used the power of the saint's remnant soul to lift him up:
"Captain Wang, I am not a noble person. I can only do what I can."
Seeing the other party's method of integrating himself into the fourth grade and lifting him up in the air, Captain Wang's pupils shrank slightly, but then he smiled with relief:
"Young Master Zhou is serious. You are not related to Shengshan County. If you hadn't come here to remind you, Wang might still not be able to figure out what happened. Even when the city was destroyed, he would never have thought of it. It is the Wanxiang Sect who is causing trouble behind the scenes.
"Being willing to try for Shengshan County is enough."
Information that some people take for granted is worthless, but to some people it is as valuable as gold.
Xu Yuan did not be polite to Captain Wang and said directly:
"What I just said is the most ideal situation. Captain Wang, you'd better be prepared to face the worst scenario."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan pointed to the phantom mist formation on the dome:
"If I can't find the control point after breaking the formation, or if the control point is destroyed by the Wanxiang Sect after I find it, the formation will most likely continue to get out of control."
Colonel Wang was silent for two seconds, and a smile appeared on his lips, a helpless smile:
"Master Zhou, just do your best and obey the destiny."
Xu Yuan looked at the deep helplessness in the other person's eyes, pondered a little, and whispered:
"When the monster attacks, can you notify the surrounding counties?"
Captain Wang hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Of course I have been notified. Mr. Zhou wants to ask for help?"
Xu Yuan replied naturally:
"If you can't control this phantom fog formation, you can only go to the surrounding counties and ask for help. With your current military strength, it is impossible to defend such a large number of monsters."
A moment of silence,
Captain Wang's eyes were a little complicated, but he still said:
"Master Zhou, it's useless to ask for help."
"Why?"
"Except for some important passes in the Wanxing Mountains, every border town is in a state of difficulty in protecting itself from the tide of monsters every spring, and it is unlikely that troops will come to rescue them."
Xu Yuan rejected Wang Xiaowei’s judgment:
"Captain Wang, let me send you another piece of information.
"The total number of monsters that attack in the spring tide every year is almost fixed. This year, there are more monsters in Shengshan County, so there will naturally be fewer monsters in the surrounding towns."
The 100,000-mile border defense line in the Wanxing Mountains results in tens of thousands of border army casualties and casualties every year, as well as the killing of hundreds of thousands of various monsters.
Each frontier town will report specific data after the war. After the Prime Minister's Office summarizes this information, it can be easily concluded that except for some special years, the total number of monsters is constant almost every year.
"But what if the Wanxiang Sect secretly communicates with the demon clan?" Wang Xiaowei no longer had any doubts about how low the Wanxiang Sect's bottom line was.
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"This is the handle to destroy the sect. As long as the Wanxiang Sect is not stupid, they will never hand over this kind of thing to the demon clan. At most, they can only use things like 'beast luring incense' to change the direction of the demon beast tide along the way. .”
"Captain Wang, I need your token to ask for help."
Captain Wang hesitated slightly, then took out a token engraved with a lion heart and a tiger from his arms, and handed it to Xu Yuan with both hands.
Xu Yuan glanced at it. There was a trace of spiritual energy on the token, and the word "Shengshan" was engraved on the surface. He knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary product, but he did not take it;
"What does Colonel Wang mean?"
The Tiger Talisman for Trooping Troops, can this thing be given to anyone casually?
Captain Wang smiled slightly and said in a low voice:
"I am afraid that other counties will not believe what happened to Shengshan County just from the letter. The local county governor will naturally know the seriousness after seeing this tiger charm. Moreover, if you fail, the existence of this tiger charm will naturally be unnecessary."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan chose to take the command talisman:
"I still need a letter from you."
"nature."
Lieutenant Wang smiled slightly and immediately cupped his fists at Xu Yuan:
"I wonder if there is any other place where I, the Shengshan Border Army, can help Mr. Zhou?"
"Help me?" Xu Yuan was surprised.
Colonel Wang smiled slightly: "Shengshan County naturally cannot receive your favor in vain."
As he said just now, Mr. Zhou in front of him is not related to his Shengshan border army, so it is a kindness to be willing to help Shengshan County.
I have received such a great favor. Regardless of whether the crisis can be overcome or not, this favor must be repaid.
Xu Yuan heard this and subconsciously wanted to refuse, because he didn't think there would be what he needed in such a remote small border county, but in the end he said softly:
"I came to Shengshan County to purchase medicinal materials. I wonder if Captain Wang and your Shengshan border army have soul-based medicinal materials?"
"Soul-based medicinal materials?" Colonel Wang raised his eyebrows.
"If not, forget it." Xu Yuan didn't hold out hope.
"Yes." Captain Wang grinned.
After that, he called his adjutant to whisper a few words, and the adjutant flew directly to the warehouse in the city.
Watching the other party's back disappear into the darkness, Captain Wang smiled at Xu Yuan and said:
"I have already gone to the adjutant to get it. Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment."
Xu Yuan glanced at the commercial area in the city and asked, "But I don't see any such medicinal materials for sale in the shops in this city."
Captain Wang smiled helplessly:
"It's really rare in shops. Our Shengshan border army has some reserves because it's the result of picking up leaks."
"Pick up the leak?" Xu Yuan.
Colonel Wang explained in a low voice:
"If you really want to sell precious medicinal materials, it's best not to go to shops, but to look at the stalls on the ground.
"Many low-level warriors and knights are ignorant of the goods. There are many people who buy Longyin Ginseng as ordinary mountain ginseng. Many of the precious medicinal materials of our Shengshan border army were picked up by these people."
At the end of the sentence, Colonel Wang had a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"." Xu Yuan was silent.
A quarter of an hour later,
The adjutant came back, carrying a large cloth bag on his back. After spreading it on the ground, he immediately revealed a dozen jade boxes of different sizes inside.
Xu Yuan glanced at it. He was a little surprised by the large number, but he was relieved immediately.
As a border town, Shengshan County is undoubtedly poor, but the sum of its resources is undoubtedly wealthy for individuals.
After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan selected a few jade boxes and whispered:
"Then I would be disrespectful."
Captain Wang smiled slightly and said directly:
"Mr. Zhou, these are all yours."
Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed.
The smile on Colonel Wang's face was pure, and he clasped his fists: "Master Zhou, to be honest, I originally wanted to resell these soul-based medicinal materials at a high price to subsidize the military officers, but I guess I won't have this opportunity in the future. , you can just take them all if you need them.”
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then took out two flawless crystals from the Sumeru Ring and sent them to Captain Wang.
As soon as these two crystals came out, the surrounding energy suddenly became rich.
However, Xu Yuan did not stop taking things. He took out several large sealed wooden barrels from the Sumeru Ring, and the sound of shaking water could be heard inside.
"This is it?" Captain Wang's pupils shrank slightly.
Xu Yuan likes to take advantage, but he doesn’t like to take advantage of people like Wang Xiaowei:
"Source crystal, spiritual liquid, these medicinal materials are just bought by me."
"Yes." Captain Wang's eyes were a little moved, but he still did not agree immediately: "But these medicinal materials are not worth so much."
"Captain Wang."
Xu Yuan interrupted and said word by word: "You should know what those of you who remain in the formation will face next."
"." Colonel Wang opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He understood the meaning of Mr. Zhou's words.
At this point in time, their Shengshan border troops attacked the Phantom Mist Formation, almost making it clear to the people of the Wanxiang Sect that we already know your plan to massacre the city.
It is self-evident how the people of Wanxiang Sect will react.
Next, their Shengshan border troops protecting the people will face a crazy offensive from tens of thousands of ferocious monsters.
Under such circumstances, the city defense formation in Shengshan County is undoubtedly their lifeline.
There are two sources of energy for the city defense formation. One is the source energy between heaven and earth. When the formation is not activated, there will be a special formation to gather and store the source energy. The other is source crystals and spiritual liquid. This kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure condensed from the source of heaven and earth.
A wealthy city like Jingjiang Prefecture would probably save a lot of source crystals for emergencies, but looking at the dilapidated state of Shengshan County, there is a high probability that there are no source crystals.
With only the remaining 20% of the energy that had been tampered with, the city defense formation would probably have to run at full capacity for a few days before it had to stop.
It would be okay if Xu Yuan and the others could successfully kill the Wanxiang Sect masters controlling the formation, but if they needed to ask for help, they would have to go back and forth for at least ten days. Without the city defense formation, the Wansheng Mountain frontier troops could not defeat them. Impossible to hold on to.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and sent forward the two Source Crystals he asked for from Xu Changge:
"Take it, it's always good to have more city defense formations and more energy."
Lieutenant Wang took a step back, clasped his fists with both hands, and knelt down towards Xu Yuan again:
"Young Master Zhou is righteous."
Xu Yuan directly used the saint's soul power to hold it up again and waved his hand:
"Okay, prepare to break the formation in an hour. I need to make some preparations here."
Captain Wang nodded seriously and was about to leave, but then he paused slightly and said softly in the silence:
"Master Zhou, can you tell me your name?"
Xu Yuan's eyes were a little funny: "Why, you also want to build a shrine for me?"
"." Colonel Wang said nothing.
Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I'm in the intelligence business and I don't need these things."
Colonel Wang is gone.
As the lord of a city, he needs to coordinate and coordinate many things.
The cold wind blew through his long hair. Xu Yuan stood on the city wall and looked at the fog formation in the distance with a faint look in his eyes.
Time passes minute by minute,
in silence,
The remnant soul of the saint suddenly sounded with a teasing voice, and Zai Xuyuan said in his heart:
"Since when did you understand justice so well?"
The sudden sound stopped Xu Yuan's thoughts, and he asked with a low smile:
"Understanding the righteousness?
"Giving a few source crystals and a few barrels of spiritual liquid is considered a profound understanding of justice?"
"You don't have to give it at all." The saint's remnant soul said in a low voice with a smile.
Xu Yuan shook his head and said in a very calm tone:
"You think I lack this kind of thing?"
"No shortage." The remnant soul of the saint said.
Xu Yuan looked at the direction Captain Wang left just now and whispered:
"I actually admire people like Captain Wang. He could break out, but for the sake of the people of Shengshan County, he still chose to stay and defend the city.
"Defending the city from a narrow escape
"To me, source crystals and spiritual liquid are nothing, but to them, this is something that can indeed save lives, and it is the lives of 400,000 people.
"There are more people like Colonel Wang, which is a good thing for Dayan, at least for the people of Dayan.
"What's more, this can be considered as wiping the butt of my stupid adopted sister."
"So the answer to this multiple-choice question is pretty obvious, isn't it?"
The voice of the saint’s remnant soul was ambiguous:
"I thought you would be more cold-blooded."
"I'm not an old immortal like you who doesn't even have blood. The blood is still warm." Xu Yuan retorted.
The remnant soul of the saint said with a smile:
"Xu boy, no matter whether your blood is hot or not, we are actually the same kind of people."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and did not deny:
"Maybe.
"Stop talking about me, Old Man Luo, have you finished refining those soul medicinal materials?"
Naturally, he collected soul medicinal materials to replenish the soul power of the saint's remnant soul.
The saint's remnant soul was slightly distracted and said in a low voice:
"I've recovered quite a bit."
Xu Yuan looked at the orderly military formation below and whispered:
"Then let's wait until Captain Wang sends someone to inform us."
Saying,
Xu Yuan asked in a leisurely voice:
"To be honest, what happened in Shengshan County this time really gave me a lot of experience. There are hundreds of thousands of people.
"Hey, Old Man Luo, for extraordinary and powerful men like you, can ordinary people no longer be considered the same race?"
The remnant soul of the saint did not answer directly, but asked:
"Xu boy,
"What do you think these monster beasts that attack the city and die are to the group of monsters in Gu Yuan?"
The strength of a battalion of the Dayan Army is 5,000 people. The border army of Shengshan County has a total of two battalions and one army, with a strength of exactly 10,000 people. However, the years of fighting have meant that the strength of the Shengshan border army is no longer full.
The high cohesion and efficiency of the military are most vividly reflected in crisis situations.
Change the monster exit of the anti-phantom fog array, convene the leaders of the major caravans, knights, and escort agencies in the city to discuss matters, transport the city defense equipment and materials from the warehouse to the city wall, distribute the special bows and crossbows for the city defense, and arrange the city in batches Refugees from outside the city enter the city.
For an hour, the Shengshan frontier army in Shengshan County was like a high-precision instrument, making orderly arrangements.
Time passes by seconds,
At the moment when everyone in the city was caught off guard, a ten-foot-long long-haired shadow gathered above the military formation outside the city without any warning, and then bombarded the thick fog outside with lightning speed. And at the moment when the phantom of the huge spear passed by and intertwined with the thick fog in the mid-air, the phantom fog formation was torn out a three-foot-thick hole. Looking out along this hole, the bright moonlight was clearly visible!
Then, a black silhouette with a curtain on its head flew through the air like a white horse passing through a gap, accurately passed through the three-foot path, and disappeared.
And within a few breaths after the figure disappeared, the torn hole quickly healed again.
No, that's not the case.
At the moment when the mist in mid-air healed, the number of ferocious monsters rushing out of the mist doubled in an instant!
Standing on the city wall, Colonel Wang held a long sword and shouted loudly:
"Shengshan Army, form a military formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Sorry, two more updates
