Chapter 146 Breaking the formation (two in one)
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:
"Lieutenant Wang, I am not a noble person, I can only do what I can."
Seeing the other party's method of propping him up from the air, Xiaowei Wang's pupils shrank slightly, but he immediately smiled in relief:
"Mr. Zhou is serious. You are not related to Shengshan County. If you didn't come here to remind me, Wang may still not be able to figure out what happened. I am afraid that even when the city was broken, he would never have thought of it. It is Wanxiangzong who is behind the scenes.
"It is enough to be willing to try for Shengshan County."
Intel that is worthless to some people is worth a thousand dollars to some people.
Xu Yuan did not greet Wang Xiaowei politely, but said directly:
"What I just said is the most ideal situation, Captain Wang, you'd better be prepared to face the worst."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan pointed to the phantom fog array on the dome:
"If I can't find the control point after I break the formation, or if the control point is destroyed by the Wanxiang sect after I find it, there is a high probability that this formation will continue to get out of control."
Captain Wang was silent for two seconds, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, a helpless smile:
"Young Master Zhou, do your best and obey the destiny."
Xu Yuan looked at the deep helplessness in the opponent's eyes, pondered slightly, and said in a low voice:
"When the monsters came, did you notify the surrounding counties?"
Captain Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"Naturally, I have been notified, Mr. Zhou wants to ask for help?"
Xu Yuan replied as a matter of course:
"If you can't control this phantom fog formation, you can only go to the surrounding counties to ask for help. With your current military strength, it is impossible to defend such a large number of monster beasts."
Be quiet for a moment,
Captain Wang’s eyes were a bit complicated, but he still said:
"Master Zhou, it's useless to ask for help."
"Why?"
"Except for some important passes in the Wanxing Mountains area, each border town is in a state of insecurity during the monster beast tide every spring, and it is unlikely that troops will be sent to rescue."
Xu Yuan denied Wang Xiaowei's judgment:
"Lieutenant Wang, I will send you another piece of information.
"The total number of monsters that come from the spring tide is almost fixed every year. This year, there are more monsters in Shengshan County, and the number of monsters from surrounding towns will naturally decrease."
The 100,000-mile border defense line of the Wanxing Mountains kills and injures tens of thousands of frontier soldiers every year, and kills hundreds of thousands of various monsters.
And each frontier town will report specific data after the war, and the Xiangguo Mansion can easily draw the conclusion after summarizing the information—except for some special years, the total number of monster beasts is almost constant every year.
"But what if the Wanxiang sect secretly communicates with the monster race?" Wang Xiaowei no longer has the slightest doubt about how low the bottom line of the Wanxiang sect is.
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"This is the reason for the extermination of the sect. As long as they are not stupid, the Wanxiang sect will never hand over this kind of thing to the demon clan. At most, they will only use things like "beast-luting incense" to change the direction of the demon beast tide along the way. .”
"Lieutenant Wang, I need your token to ask for help."
Lieutenant Wang hesitated a little, and directly took out a token engraved with a lion's heart and tiger from his arms, and handed it to Xu Yuan with both hands.
Xu Yuan glanced at it, there was a trace of aura on the token, and the word Shengshan was engraved on the surface, and he knew it was not ordinary, but he didn't pick it up;
"What does Captain Wang mean?"
The tiger charm of mobilizing troops, can this thing be given to anyone casually?
Captain Wang smiled slightly and said in a low voice:
"Other counties and counties may not believe what happened in Shengshan County just by writing letters. The local county guards will naturally know the seriousness after seeing this tiger talisman. Moreover, if you fail, this tiger talisman is naturally unnecessary."
After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan chose to take the token:
"I still need a letter from you."
"nature."
Captain Wang smiled slightly, and immediately cupped his fists slightly at Xu Yuan:
"I don't know my Shengshan frontier army, but is there any other place that can help Mr. Zhou?"
"Help me?" Xu Yuan was surprised.
Captain Wang smiled slightly: "Shengshan County naturally cannot receive your favor in vain."
As he himself said just now, the young master Zhou in front of him is neither related nor related to the Shengshan frontier army, so if he is willing to help Shengshan County, it is a kindness.
Receive this great kindness, no matter whether the crisis can be overcome or not, this kindness must be repaid.
Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to refuse when he heard the words, because he didn't think there would be anything he needed in such a remote border town, but in the end he said softly:
"I came to Shengshan County to purchase medicinal materials. I don't know if there are soul-type medicinal materials in the Shengshan frontier army, Colonel Wang?"
"Medical materials of the soul system?" Captain Wang raised his eyebrows.
"If you don't have it, forget it." Xu Yuan didn't hold out hope either.
"Yes." Wang Xiaowei grinned.
After finishing speaking, he called the adjutant to whisper a few words, and the adjutant flew directly to the warehouse in the city.
Watching the back of the other party disappear into the darkness, Xiaowei Wang smiled at Xu Yuan:
"I've already gone to the adjutant to get it, Mr. Zhou, wait a moment."
Xu Yuan glanced at the commercial area in the city, and asked, "But I don't think any shops in this city sell such medicinal materials."
Captain Wang smiled helplessly:
"It's really rare in shops, and our Shengshan frontier army has a reserve because of the leak."
"Looking up?" Xu Yuan.
Captain Wang explained in a low voice:
"If you really want to sell first-hand precious medicinal materials, it is best not to go to the shops, you should look at those stalls.
"Many low-level warriors and knights don't know what to buy. There are many people who buy Longyan ginseng as ordinary ginseng. Many precious medicinal materials of our Shengshan frontier army are picked up by these people."
At the end, Wang Xiaowei had a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"." Xu Yuan was silent.
After a quarter of an hour,
The adjutant came back, carrying a large cloth bag on his back, and immediately exposed the dozens of jade boxes of different sizes inside after spreading it on the ground.
Xu Yuan glanced at it. He was a little surprised by such a large number, but he was relieved immediately.
Shengshan County is undoubtedly poor as a border town, but the sum of resources is undoubtedly rich for individuals.
Slightly pondering, Xu Yuan picked out a few jade boxes and said in a low voice:
"Then I will be disrespectful."
Captain Wang smiled slightly and said directly:
"Young Master Zhou, these are all yours."
Xu Yuan's eyes froze.
The smile on Xiaowei Wang's face was very pure, and he cupped his fists: "Young Master Zhou, to be honest, I originally wanted to sell these soul-type medicinal materials at a high price to subsidize the lieutenant soldiers, but I don't think I will have this opportunity in the future." , you can take all of them if you need them.”
Xu Yuan pondered for a while, took out two transparent and flawless crystals from the Sumeru Ring, and sent them to Captain Wang.
As soon as these two crystals came out, the source of energy around became dense in an instant.
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?" Wang Xiaowei's pupils shrank slightly.
Xu Yuan likes to take advantage of others, but he doesn’t like to take advantage of people like Captain Wang:
"Yes" Wang Xiaowei's eyes were a little moved, but he still didn't agree immediately: "But these medicinal materials are not worth so much"
"Captain Wang."
Xu Yuan interrupted, saying every word: "You should know what will happen to those of you who stay in the formation."
"." Xiaowei Wang opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
He understood what the young master Zhou meant.
At this point in time, their Shengshan frontier army attacked the phantom fog formation, almost expressing to the Wanxiang sect that we already know your plan to massacre the city.
It is self-evident how the people of the Wanxiang sect will react.
Next, the Shengshan Frontier Army, which guards the people, will face the crazy attack of tens of thousands of ferocious monsters.
Under such circumstances, Shengshan County's large moat array is undoubtedly their lifeline.
There are two sources of energy for the large formation of the city protection. One is the source of energy between the heaven and the earth. Usually, when the formation is not activated, there will be a special formation to gather and store the source of energy. The second is the source crystal and spiritual liquid. This kind of treasure of heaven, material and earth is condensed by the energy of heaven and earth.
A wealthy big city like Jingjiang Mansion will save a lot of source crystals for emergencies, but judging by the dilapidated state of Shengshan County, there is a high probability that there is no such thing as source crystals.
Based on only 20% of the remaining energy that has been tampered with, it is estimated that the defensive formation will have to stop after a few days of full operation.
It would be fine if Xu Yuan and the others could successfully kill the masters of the Wanxiang sect who controlled the formation, but if they needed help, it would take at least ten days to come and go. Impossible to keep.
Xu Yuan raised his hand, and sent the two source crystals from Xu Changge forward again:
"Accept it, it's always good to have a little more energy in the defensive formation."
Captain Wang took a step back, clasped his hands together, and knelt down towards Xu Yuan again:
"Young Master Zhou is righteous."
Xu Yuan directly used the saint's soul power to support it again, and waved his hand:
"Okay, I will break the formation in an hour. I need to make some preparations here."
Captain Wang nodded earnestly, and was about to leave, but immediately paused, and said softly in the silence:
"Mr. Zhou, can you tell me your name?"
Xu Yuan's eyes were a little funny: "Why, you also want to set up a shrine for me?"
"." Captain Wang didn't speak.
Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I'm in the intelligence business, so I don't need these things."
Captain Wang left.
As the lord of a city, he needs to coordinate and dispatch many things.
The cold wind blew through his long hair, Xu Yuan stood on the city wall and looked at the fog in the distance, his eyes dim.
Time passed by every minute and every second,
In the silence,
The remnant soul of the saint suddenly sounded a mocking voice in Xu Yuan's heart:
"Since when did your kid become so understanding of righteousness?"
The sudden sound made Xu Yuan's thoughts stagnate, and he asked with a low smile:
"Understanding righteousness?
"Giving a few source crystals and a few buckets of spiritual liquid is considered righteous?"
"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, his tone was very flat:
"Do you think I lack this kind of thing?"
"There is no shortage." The saint's remnant soul.
Xu Yuan looked at the direction where Captain Wang left, and said in a low voice:
"In fact, I really admire people like Wang Xiaowei, who can break through the siege, but for the sake of the people in Shengshan County, he still chooses to stay and defend the city.
"The defense of the city with a narrow escape
"For me, source crystals and spiritual liquids are nothing, but for them, they are indeed life-saving things, and they are the lives of 400,000 people.
"There are more people like Wang Xiaowei, which is a good thing for Dayan, at least for the people of Dayan.
"What's more, this can be regarded as wiping the **** of my stupid step-sister."
"So the answer to this multiple-choice question is obvious, isn't it?"
The voice of the remnant soul of the saint is ambiguous:
"I thought you boy would be more cold-blooded."
"I'm not an old man like you who doesn't even have blood. The blood is still warm." Xu Yuan retorted.
The voice of the remnant soul of the saint smiled:
"Boy Xu, whether your blood is hot or not, we are actually the same kind of people."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, without denying:
"Maybe.
"Don't talk about me, old man Luo, have you finished refining those soul-type medicinal materials?"
He collected soul-type medicinal materials to replenish the soul power of the saint's remnant soul.
The remnant soul of the saint was slightly distracted and sensed, and said in a low voice:
"It's almost recovered."
Xu Yuan looked at the orderly dispatched army formation below, and said in a low voice:
"Then wait for Captain Wang to send someone to inform us."
said,
Xu Yuan asked leisurely:
"To be honest, what happened in Shengshan County this time really taught me a lot, hundreds of thousands of people
"Hey, old man Luo, for extraordinary powerhouses like you, ordinary people can no longer be regarded as the same family?"
The remnant soul of the saint did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"Little Xu,
"What do you think these monsters who attacked the city and sent to death are to Gu Yuan's group of monsters?"
A battalion of the Dayan Army has 5,000 people. The frontier army in Shengshan County has a total of two battalions, one army, with exactly 10,000 people.
The high cohesion and high efficiency of the army are fully reflected in the crisis situation.
Change the monster beast exit of the anti-illusory fog formation, convene the leaders of the major caravans, chivalrous groups, and bodyguards in the city to discuss matters, transport the defense equipment and materials from the warehouse to the city wall, distribute the special bows and crossbows for the defense, and arrange the city defense in batches. Foreign refugees enter the city.
For an hour, the Shengshan Frontier Army in Shengshan County was dispatched in an orderly manner like a high-precision instrument.
Time flies by,
When everyone in the city was caught off guard, a ten-foot-long long-haired phantom gathered above the army formation outside the city without warning, and then bombarded the thick fog outside with lightning speed. And at the moment when the phantom of the huge spear flitted past and intertwined with the dense fog in the midair, the phantom fog array was torn out a three-foot-thick opening. Looking out along this opening, the bright moonlight was clearly visible!
Afterwards, a black figure wearing a curtain on the head flew across the air like a white horse passing through the gap, precisely passed through the three-foot-long path, and disappeared.
And within a few breaths after the figure disappeared, the torn hole quickly healed again.
No, not really.
At the moment when the fog in midair healed, the number of ferocious monsters rushing out of the fog doubled instantly!
Standing on the city wall, Captain Wang held a long knife and shouted loudly:
"Shengshan Army, form an army formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Sorry, it’s still two more
