Chapter 181 Long’s plan
The city lord's words made everyone in the audience fall silent, and their hearts felt heavy.
Obviously, the worst moment has come at this time. The Gu kings in the city are no longer able to fight against Shi Haojun. The only way is to defend and die before reinforcements arrive. No one in the city will survive.
Long Xuan couldn't help but frown at this time. What a good guy, he actually had one meal every two days and he still fainted from hunger. His focus was obviously different from that of normal people.
"That's right!" Yan Pojun suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "The city defense array must be open all day long to resist the plague, so we still need a large amount of spiritual stones to fight this protracted war."
"We will discuss how many spiritual stones each tribe needs to pay at a later date. Now please bring me the money."
Qian's Chamber of Commerce has just held a large-scale auction that caused a sensation in the Western Land and made a lot of money. If there is a place in the city with the most spiritual stones, it must be the Qian's Chamber of Commerce.
The auction of live wood alone yielded 40.1 billion spirit stones, which is enough spirit stones to sustain Blackstone City for a long, long time.
Moreover, this spiritual stone is definitely still in the hands of the Qian Chamber of Commerce, and it is impossible for Shi Haojun to take it away.
The rest of the wealth will be discussed later, but he can take the 40.1 billion spiritual stones now openly and no one will say anything.
So he immediately thought of asking someone to bring Qian Jinjin.
However, someone immediately had a strange look on their face, slowly raised their hands, and said loudly: "Tell the city lord, she seems to have sensed that Black Rock City is about to face a crisis, so as soon as the auction ended, she couldn't wait to collect the money and run away." ”
"Before leaving, she took all her belongings with her. Many of Qian's shops were closed. She is no longer in the city now."
"What? Ran away???" Yan Pojun's voice suddenly rose, and his head was filled with questions.
"She is really a traitor!" Yan Pojun suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood.
But he quickly calmed down. Even without the Qian Chamber of Commerce, the spirit stones in the city should be able to last for a long time.
After all, the Qian Chamber of Commerce just held a large-scale auction, which attracted a large number of Gu Kings. Each Gu King brought a large amount of spiritual stones to participate in the auction. Many Gu Kings have not had time to leave yet.
For example, Cai Xuan has at least 40 billion spiritual stones in his possession, and he said so himself at the auction.
Yan Pojun suddenly glanced at Cai Xuan with his peripheral vision.
Cai Xuan's scalp suddenly went numb, and he finally thought of something, and his expression couldn't help but turn painful.
He really wanted to slap himself hard at this moment. Why did he come in so stupidly? Why did he leave early?
I had to act righteously to slay the demon, but it would be better now. I am completely trapped here, and I still have no spiritual stones on my body.
The current Blackstone City is an isolated city, a dead city, with no water or food. The surrounding cities are probably dead. No one comes to help. He is likely to be trapped here and die alive.
Seeing that he was covered in injuries and that several top-grade Gu insects had died, Cai Xuan smiled miserably, "Why bother?"
Why don't you leave early?
He regretted it, and his intestines were really about to turn green at this time.
Yan Pojun's devilish voice added: "Now we not only need to save water and food, but also spiritual stones. From today on, no one should practice by absorbing the spiritual power of spiritual stones. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished."
"The city protection formation must also turn off some unnecessary functions. Only one barrier is opened during the day and two at night to save the consumption of spiritual stones to the greatest extent."
"Now everyone go up to the city wall, close the two barriers outside the city, and put all the plague corpses under the city wall to clear them out. Don't let the plague corpses increase the consumption of spiritual stones."
As the city lord issued orders one after another, the whole city took action again.
After all the Gu kings were inspected several times by the alchemists of the Dan family and the Yao family, it was determined that they did not carry the plague, and they all ran to the city wall.
There were two barriers outside the city wall, and a large number of zombies instantly swarmed under the city wall.
But what greeted them was the attack of various fireballs, thunder, lightning and wind blades.
The last barrier on the city wall is obviously one-way. Attacks from people inside the city can pass through the barrier and attack enemies outside.
However, attacks from people outside the city wall cannot penetrate the barrier and will be blocked by the barrier.
Only I can hit you, but you can't hit me.
Under such a defensive mode, it is extremely difficult to break through this fortified city. Blackstone City is known as the first fortified city in the Western Territory and has never been captured since ancient times. This is no joke.
In fact, the large swaths of plague corpses had already been burned by the flames of the Yan Po Army, and not many survived.
It didn't take long for the corpses under the city to be completely wiped out.
There were no plague corpses consuming the energy of the city defense formation. Everyone was relieved and slowly walked down the city wall and returned to the city.
Shi Haojun just watched quietly. When he saw that the people in the city were already trying to defend, the corners of his mouth curled up.
If they thought they really only had so many plague corpses, they would be totally wrong.
He wanted to see how long the spiritual stones in the city could last under the siege of his own corpses.
…
Long's mansion.
An ancestor of the Long family who was in the Gu King realm died in this war. At this time, the whole Long family was in a state of gloom and gloom. All the Long family members looked sad and depressed.
Every place in the Long family was hung with white silk, and the whole family held a funeral ceremony for this ancestor.
A sad atmosphere enveloped the entire Long family's mansion, and even the sound of crying could be heard from some places.
Not only the Long family, but all the ten major clans in the city had their Gu kings fall in this battle, and all clans suffered heavy losses.
At this time, the whole city was filled with a sad atmosphere, and the buildings in tracts were covered with white silk.
On this day, the whole city did not know how many important figures had died, and the whole city observed a moment of silence.
Long Yuan held a huge skeleton in his hands and sighed heavily.
He was also seriously injured in this battle, and even lost a top-quality external Gu.
When the air is full of bugs, releasing external poisons is a sure way to death. The mutation field has the ability to prohibit the opponent from using external poisons in disguise.
But there was no other way. He could only escape by using this fire dragon Gu. In the end, he could only sacrifice the fire dragon Gu in exchange for a chance to survive.
Fire Dragon Gu was the first Gu worm he refined in his Gu cultivation career. He had a deep relationship with him and he had already regarded it as an old friend.
The damage to the fire dragon Gu made him heartbroken, and he kept blaming himself in his heart.
"Oh! Old friend! Have a good trip. I don't have much life left for this old man. I will go down to accompany you soon."
Long Yuan's eyes were red. After placing the burned fire dragon Gu into a small coffin with only its skeleton left, he waved his hand and asked people to carry it away for burial.
"Ancestor, my condolences." Long Yuanshan consoled him from behind.
"I'm fine. All the tribes suffered heavy losses in this battle, but our tribe has already suffered small losses."
"Alas! I already overestimated the power of the Plague Demon Gu, but in the end I underestimated it far. The city lord and I misjudged the power of the Plague Demon Gu, which resulted in heavy losses for us!" Long Yuan sighed.
"No one is to blame for this matter. No one can imagine how powerful the forbidden Gu is. This matter is not anyone's responsibility. On the contrary, we still have merit. If we had not noticed Shi Haojun's conspiracy in advance, Black Rock City would have been destroyed by now. It fell." Long Yuanshan tried to persuade him.
Long Yuan nodded, and these words really made him feel relieved. He turned around and said, "Let's take the geniuses in the clan to the extreme west Long Family to take refuge tonight."
"All the belongings and books of the clan must be secretly transported at night, and no one must be allowed to discover them."
"The interests involved in the matter of the space cabin are too huge. We have been hiding it. Not many people in the clan know about it, and no one outside the clan knows about it."
"Once the matter of the space hut is exposed, the clan will definitely be in chaos. In the face of death, everyone will rush into the space hut to escape. Then the trouble will be big."
"Most people cannot be transferred. Once a large number of people from our Long family suddenly disappear out of thin air, all the clans in the city will definitely notice that something is wrong."
"We important figures who often show up must not leave. We can only wait until Blackstone City is about to be destroyed, and we can leave as much as we can."
"In short, the secret of the space cabin must be well hidden. The fewer people who know about it, the better. That terrible Shi Haojun can hear other people's voices. The more people who know this secret, the easier it will be to bring about the annihilation of the Jixi Long clan. By then, all the talent we have left there will be gone.”
Long Yuan looked at Long Yuanshan solemnly, with a serious look on his face. Long Yuanshan nodded heavily. How could he not know the seriousness of this matter?
"Don't worry, ancestor, the affairs of the space hut will never be leaked. Those who know the news will be the first batch of people to leave."
"Even Long Qian can't let him stay here for safety reasons, not to mention that it would be a pity to die here with his knowledge of formations. His survival is the greatest help to the family." Long Yuanshan said confidently.
"Well! Don't worry, I'll leave the matter to you. You can transfer the family wealth now. I'm going to the city lord's mansion for a meeting. It may be to discuss how many spiritual stones each clan should hand over. Don't transfer the spiritual stones. That thing There is plenty out there, so don’t be stingy at this time.”
After Long Yuan left the matters here to Long Yuanshan, he hurriedly walked towards the city lord's palace.
At the same time, rushing towards the city lord's mansion, there were also ancestors with the highest say in each clan. They were all ancestors with the highest fighting power in each clan's realm.
The heads of the various clans were not qualified to attend this meeting.
However, the meeting was attended by the top leaders of all clans in the city, but only the Gu King outside the city was excluded. It is not known what the cruel Lord Yan City has planned.
Some time later, in the city lord's palace, the most powerful ancestors from all races gathered together.
In the conference room, apart from the city lord Yan Pojun, there were only ten people present, each of whom was in the late stage of Gu King.
On the surface, Yan Pojun needs to maintain neutrality, so the Yan family has another ancestor from the late stage of Gu King.
At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit heavy. No one spoke for a long time, and everyone had not yet come out of their sadness.
