Speaking of this, Zhang Zhao turned around and said loudly: "Friends and generals, what we are facing now is not a dispute between the rivers and lakes, but a major event related to the life and death of the entire Rongchang City. In order for us to survive this calamity, I declare that from now on, the entire city, regardless of cultivators, ordinary people, and the military, must obey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion. In order to prevent dissent, disobedience to orders must be punished severely, ranging from whipping to death. ”

As soon as they heard this, the cultivators all showed dissatisfaction, as cultivators, they were used to being free, and they were very disgusted by the feeling of being controlled.

For this, Zhang Zhao naturally knew that after all, he didn't go to the heaven-level city, he just didn't want to be managed. But at the moment, this situation is very special, so some coercive measures must be taken.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just thinking about Rongchang City, if I can't accept such a thing, I can now announce that I won't participate in the battle. ”

"Alas"

Shang Bai sighed and said, "Forget it, the demon beasts have all hit the doorstep, what else is there to say? Rather than everyone being defeated one by one by others, it is better to find a smart one to lead everyone to fight against the demon beasts." ”

"Also, anyway, it's only during the fight against demon beasts, and it doesn't matter if you're commanded. ”

Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions one by one, Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then thank you for your support in advance." ”

"Bai Xing, quickly send a hasty order to go out, let all the people in the city within a radius of a hundred miles come to our Rongchang City for refuge, no matter whether the heaven-level city can repel the beast tide or not, we will have a bloody battle here. ”

"Well, here we go. ”

Bai Xing quickly walked down the city wall with the order, and then Zhang Zhao looked at the 13,000 on the side and said, "Brother 3,000, can you prepare more grain and grass for everyone over there?"

Wan Sanqian couldn't help frowning, and said, "I have a grain and grass deal with a big family in Yungezi City 20,000 miles away, but now it seems that I am afraid that the far water will not be able to save the fire, and even if the grain can be transported, then now the outside is surrounded by demon beasts, and it is impossible to get through at all." ”

"Twenty Thousand Miles ......"

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhao said: "If we follow the fastest speed of our cavalry, it will take thirty days, plus the escort of grain and grass, mountain roads, swamps, rivers, etc., it will take at least seventy days. We can't sit still, the grain and grass outside the city will only sprout in the spring of the next year, and it will be harvested at the end of autumn. ”

"The monster outside the city......."

Zhang Zhao smiled confidently and said, "I have a risky move, I don't know if you are optimistic?"

"Please tell the city lord clearly. ”

Zhang Zhao glanced at the outside of the city, and said lightly: "Now that all the demon beasts have gathered outside the heaven-level city, there must be no demon beasts in the mountain range, if we want to go to Yungezi City, we can go all the way along the mountain range, as long as we go around to the skyline city, we can take the right path openly." ”

I have to say that what Zhang Zhao said is indeed a good way, when the beast tide hits, whether it is a newborn cub or a powerful demon beast, it will be mobilized by the demon king, which means that there are no demon beasts in the mountain range now.

"It's a good idea, but the lord seems to have overlooked a more important issue. ”

A black-haired old man walked over and said in a solemn voice: "We all know that the demons and evil paths of Yueyangmen have always been here, and if we travel along the mountain range, we will inevitably pass through their mountain gates, so what we need to worry about at that time is not the demon beast, but the demon of Yueyangmen." ”

For this question, Zhang Zhao seemed to have a plan for a long time, only to see him smile confidently, and said: "So we must send a strong man with strength and status in the rivers and lakes and no conflict with Yueyangmen to lead the team." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to Shang Bai.

The cultivators in Rongchang City have more or less clashed with Yueyangmen, but he is the only one who has not. For decades, there are no longer a few large-scale encirclement and suppression of Yueyangmen, but every time Shang Bai will find a reason to refuse, he will not participate in it.

If you really want to choose someone who has the status of the rivers and lakes and has a strong self-cultivation and has not yet clashed with Yueyangmen, it must be Shang Bai.

"Okay, for the sake of the big plan, I'll make a trip, but in order to prevent accidents, the entire caravan must be composed of my merchants, I'm afraid that if there are other people at that time, the people of this Yueyangmen will use this to talk about things, but it will be unfavorable to us. ”

"Well, this is also the case, that's okay, the matter of transporting grain will trouble you, no matter how many days you can come back, you must send someone to inquire about the situation in Rongchang City before you come back. ”

Zhang Zhao did this, nothing more than fearing that if this side couldn't resist the attack of the beast tide and the city gate was broken, then there would be no need for Shang Bai to come back.

Once the city gate is breached, he can let the ghost people bring him back to the underworld, but he can only bring a few people, and more can only let them fend for themselves, after all, between the two worlds, the non-big pattern is generally not allowed to intersect, otherwise it is okay to go directly to his own world and bring people over.

At this time, a woman with a purple flying sword on her foot flew from a distance, and after hovering on the city wall for several weeks, she shouted solemnly: "The head of the sect has an order, ordering all the disciples of the Wanhua Sect to immediately return to the mountain to participate in the assessment of the disciples of the inner sect of the mountain gate. ”

Throwing this sentence away, the woman did not linger and returned directly.

Seeing this, Shang Bai and the others were slightly dissatisfied, after all, this is all burning eyebrows, can't they postpone the assessment of their inner disciples?

"It's okay, according to my speculation, with the strength of the heaven-level city, it should be no problem to resist the demon beast for ten days and half a month, and I can come back in two days at most when I return to the mountain gate, and everyone will listen to the military advisor's arrangement in these two days." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhao asked everyone to go back, and he and Chen Yang and the female disciples who were guarding the City Lord's Mansion returned and embarked on the road to the Wanhua Sect.

On the way, Leng Yue looked puzzled and asked softly, "Xianggong, is there going to be a war?"

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "It's more serious than fighting, this time it's an unprecedented tide of demon beasts." ”

"Huh, it's so dangerous, then why don't we run away? There is a heaven-level city two thousand miles away, and it should be fine to escape there. ”

It can be seen that Leng Yue still cares about herself, but running away has never been her style.

Zhang Zhao grinned and comforted: "Then you don't have to worry, I think we can resist this beast tide, besides, the beast tide has been formed, and the target is the heaven-level city." ”
