Chapter 655 Entrustment
"What a fortified city!"
"Back then, Taiyi Sect spent a lot of money to hire people to build such a big city. At that time, Taiyi Sect was winning the Star Luo Council. All parties wanted to give him face, and they also valued the development of the Ghost Sea, so they took action."
"Unexpectedly, the big city that we contributed to back then became a hindrance to our progress." A trace of emotion flashed in the eyes of the Beastmaster of the Beast Control Sect. Sometimes it is so unpredictable.
There are no permanent friends and no absolute enemies, only eternal interests.
The Taiyi Sect did something that was detrimental to their interests, and also wanted to step on their heads to become a major sect. This was something the Hehuan Sect could not allow. As for the Beast Control Sect, their sect is actually located far away from the Hehuan Sect, and their participation in this battle is purely for profit.
When we formed an alliance, we talked about advancing and retreating together, but in fact, we all understood what we were thinking. At that time, it was to resist the two sects that suppressed the rising stars. Now, the current situation can certainly be regarded as suppressing the rising stars.
"How long can he defend? Under the attack of the giant fleet, the city will be destroyed in half a month at most." A sneer appeared on Miaohe's face, and he continued: "Half a month is not enough, we have to give them a month's grace."
"A month?"
The Beast King was puzzled at this time, why delay when he could break the city as soon as possible? It should be noted that on the battlefield, not to mention more than half a month, just a few extra days or even a few hours will cause earth-shaking changes in the battle situation.
Miaohe said: "The defensive formation of Dazhong City is the fifth-level low-grade Great Five Elements Formation, and it specializes in earth element defense."
"Hard to beat?"
Miaohe shook his head and continued: "Do you know, fellow Taoist, why I gave up the Taiyi Sect's main land and chose to attack Dazhong City, a fortified city that looks like a bastard's shell?"
The Beast King thought for a while and said: "Isn't it because Dazhong City is the central city of Qianyuan and the strongest barrier of Taiyi Sect? As long as we capture this place, cut off the connections between the major cities, and even send troops to station, We can divide Qianyuan and leave Taiyi Sect alone."
"not completely."
"oh?"
"Appreciate further details."
"Because the Taiyi Sect's mountain-protecting formation is very powerful, I asked someone to evaluate it. The shaking formation is by no means an ordinary formation. The person guessed that the Taiyi Sect's mountain-protecting formation is at least the fifth level."
"Fifth level, or top grade?!" Beast King exclaimed in a low voice.
Arrays or magical treasures, talismans, and the like, saying that they correspond to the level of the monk realm, actually have to be discounted by half, but the fifth-level high-level formation is terrifying enough. Weak lords, hope this formation I could only sigh and turn around and leave.
No wonder Miaohe didn't choose to attack the mountain gate directly. If he had attacked the mountain gate and faced the big formation, and then been flanked by the Taiyi Sect's coalition forces, he might have suffered an early defeat.
That's why they chose to use this battle to bring down Taiyi Sect's fighting ability.
Taiyi Sect obviously had no intention of retreating, but took the initiative to engage in the battle. Otherwise, sticking to the sect would not be a foolproof strategy. However, if we do that, Taiyi Sect will lose the land of Qianyuan from now on.
The Beast King understood. He just didn't know the magic circle where Taiyi Sect was stationed. He didn't realize the lack of information. He turned his eyes and said, "But fellow Taoist, aren't you afraid of delaying it for too long to allow him to recover from his injuries?"
"On the battlefield, more than half a month will consume countless resources."
"Will half a month allow a seriously injured Peak Great True Lord to recover from his injuries? What kind of panacea should that be?" Miaohe said with a confident smile, narrowing his eyes slightly with a strategizing calmness.
The Beast King nodded. Indeed, it is not so easy for the Peak Great True Lord to recover from his injuries. As the monks become stronger and stronger, their recovery ability is strong but they cannot quickly recover from such injuries.
It takes three months for an ordinary person to be injured, let alone being hit by a giant ship. It is only his ability to survive. Do you want to recover so quickly? This kind of injury is unlikely to heal in less than ten years, or even decades.
…
"Repay, ancestor."
"The Lingzhou that went to blockade Yunjing City and Dumen City was ambushed by Jin'ao Palace and suffered heavy casualties."
"Ancestor."
The disgraced Grandmaster Jindan quickly walked over, knelt down on the ground, and cried: "We were targeted by Jin'ao Palace. More than half of the monks under our sect were killed or injured, and only one spirit boat was left."
Miaohe looked at the Jindan Daoist with an indifferent expression, without even raising his eyelids, but said lightly: "I have known this for a long time. It is the time when I am employing people, so I will not kill you. However, the death penalty can be avoided. There is no escape from living sin.”
Miaohe looked at the Jindan master, who was obviously seriously injured, and his robes were in tatters. Even Grandmaster Jindan is like this, let alone the disciples below.
"Is it just the monks from Jin'ao Palace?"
"Have you ever seen the monks from the Yuandao Alliance?"
"Forefather, this disciple has not seen the monks from the Yuandao Alliance."
"We were defeated by the Nascent Soul cultivators. Fortunately, Lingzhou is powerful."
Miaohe nodded slightly and said, "I think you have merit, so I will give you a lighter punishment. You will be fined for three years, and the authority of the three inner disciples in your hands will be taken back."
"Go, reorganize the monks and return them to the main camp."
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Master Jin Dan lowered his hands to the ground and kowtowed his thanks, then slowly stood up. He knew that he might not die. After all, the task he performed this time was difficult, and it should not be done by their golden elixir master.
However, he is not so sure that Jin Dan Zhenren is very important to a sect, but it is not so important to the ancestor at the peak of Nascent Soul. After being defeated and beheaded, he has nothing to say.
"Jin'ao Palace has indeed been here a long time ago." Miaohe said while standing on the deck.
He sent these three troops just to test Jin'ao Palace. It would be better if Yunjingdu Gate could be blocked, but it didn't matter if it couldn't be blocked. Anyway, his earliest plan was to use up the resources of the three cities, forcing Taiyi Sect's station to send resources to support the central city.
They occupied a large area of Qianyuan and could use local materials. The giant fleet also carried the food and grass used to attack the city. The sect's resources were also on the way to send the spirit boat. By then, the consumption of the resources alone would be enough to trap Taiyi to death.
In fact, they consume a lot of money. The most important expenses are the giant fleet and the food and salary for the monks to practice. It is impossible to just give an order and let the disciples of the sect go into battle to kill the enemy with their own savings.
The disciples won't complain once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it will destroy the sect's credibility and make the monks wonder what they are fighting for. Is it just about painting cakes? Think about what you can capture in the future and distribute it to your disciples.
This obviously doesn't work.
The disciples' practice will also be delayed due to the war, which is also an expense of military pay.
Secondly, there is the military expenses, food and wages of the Beast Control Sect. The Beast Control Sect came all the way to help out. They brought part of it themselves, and the Hehuan Sect must provide part of it. Especially the Beast Control Sect also has spirit beasts to help out, which is a huge expense.
We cannot expect spirit beasts and monks to live without food and rely on spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the outside world is thin, and the spirit gathering array cannot achieve the effect of spiritual veins. In order to replenish mana, etc., pills are needed.
As for the repair and repair of magic weapons and robes, the healing of monks, various small formations, and the consumption of talismans, none of these require spiritual stones. All in all, when the war started, it was like gold and silver being thrown into the river without even making a sound.
A few more days.
"Zhenjun Xingjin hurried over with a solemn look on his face. He walked to Miaohe's side before speaking: "Great Elder, something happened. Our food and grass transportation route was cut off by the Yuandao Alliance. "
"Junior Brother Ji Le was seriously injured and relied on the spirit boat to survive. Later, it was the organization of Junior Sister Yinsha and Senior Brother Yuhuan that allowed him to resist."
"It is said that they encountered the main force of the Yuandao Alliance!"
"Main force?"
Xingjin Zhenjun said: "The main monks led by Qi Yuan, there are several Nascent Soul monks alone. In addition to not having a giant ship of 500 feet, the spirit boat group of the Yuandao Alliance is very strong, and the transporting spirit boats can't resist it at all. Can’t live.”
An angry look appeared on Miaohe's dark face, and he said angrily: "Yuan Dao League, I asked why you didn't show up in Qianyuan. It turned out that you were going to intercept my transporting spirit boat." Then Miaohe asked: "Why aren't they there? information?"
"Although the Dan League and the Qi League did not send troops, their attitude was ambiguous and they did not remind us at all. They also helped the Yuandao League conceal the news of borrowing the road to march."
"Hey!" Miaohe slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and the jade table immediately fell into pieces: "The hateful elixir and magic weapon dealer, you wasted no time trying to win over our sect, and you dared to conceal the whereabouts of the Yuandao Alliance."
"Siege the city for me."
"Half a month, no, ten days, ten days to capture Dazhong City!"
"Why is Brother Miaohe so angry?" The Beast King left the giant ship and appeared on the deck of the Palace of Joy.
…
"Report!"
"metropolitan."
"The two sects' attacks are becoming more and more fierce."
Taiyi, who was coordinating the army, snorted coldly: "It seems that the fellow Taoists of the Yuandao Alliance have already done it, and this has forced the two sects to be anxious."
If he had received such information originally, it was the best strategy after all, and he would have been overjoyed to praise the Yuandao Alliance.
But now that the junior brother is injured, a large number of resources have been allocated to recover Tushanjun's injury, which means that the defenses are not so sufficient, and the two sects in the city are still spreading rumors, making the whole people panic.
If Tushanjun hadn't appeared to refute the rumors, Dazhong City might have turned into a hole.
After rejecting the messenger monk, Taiyi muttered: "If nothing can be done, we can only retreat to the sect's station, rely on the large formation to preserve our strength, and wait for our junior brother to recover from his injuries before we can fight."
"But Dazhongcheng may not be able to withstand it for so long."
"I don't know if Fellow Taoist Jin Ao has cleared away the resistance from Yunjing, Dumen, and outside the sect."
"Why are fellow Taoists so sad?" Hearing a familiar voice, Taiyi looked outside the ancient palace. It was none other than Zhenjun Jin'ao who had cleared away the spirit boat sent by the Hehuan Sect to Taiyi Sect's residence.
Taiyi was immediately delighted and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
There was no joy on Zhenjun Jin'ao's face, but he asked: "I heard that fellow Taoist Taoist Master Taishi was injured? Is that true?"
"yes."
Jin Ao's face was expressionless. He didn't say anything. He turned around and left without any hesitation. He was so decisive that Taiyi was stunned for a moment and did not react.
"Junior brother was injured, but it was definitely not as serious as what the two sects described."
Jin Ao's steps paused slightly.
"To be honest, I need help from fellow Taoists."
"How to do it?"
"My junior brother is a ghost cultivator and needs a huge amount of evil energy to recover."
Zhenjun Jin Ao immediately frowned and said: "This..., where can I go to find the evil spirit? There is no..."
"have."
"Have fellow Taoists forgotten where we are?"
"What we have here is the Sea of Ghosts!"
I didn't finish the move yesterday, so I finished it very late tonight, so I'll update it first today. The one on the 16th will be made up as soon as possible.
