Chapter 283: Grief
This night, no one bothered them, Zhang Zhao and Chen Yang, in the dormitory, spent a quiet and comfortable night.
The news of their return soon spread in Cloud City, and early the next morning, many young men and women ran over, they were basically young masters and young ladies from major families, and they came here to inquire about the whereabouts of their father or mother.
"Smack, smack, smack"
I didn't sleep all night, and as soon as it was dawn, there was a heavy knock on the door.
Chen Yang still looked like he was godless, Zhang Zhao walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Chu Chu in a jeans, and standing behind her was Ah Cheng in a suit with an indifferent face.
"Where's the old man? Didn't he come back with you?"
This sentence, like a needle and a thorn, stabbed into Zhang Zhao's heart, he didn't know how to answer, and Chu Chu pushed him away, rushed into the house and shouted: "Old Chu, where are you? Old man, come out quickly." ”
"Chu Chu ......"
Zhang Zhao's voice was hoarse, and when Chu Chu turned around, tears instantly flowed out of his eyes.
She walked over and took down the Bodhisattva jade pendant in Zhang Zhao's hand, which was the talisman that Lao Chu usually carried with him.
"Woo...... Dad, Dad......"
Chu Chu cried helplessly, and Ah Cheng, who was standing at the door, looked unbelieving, he held back his tears, and there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Impossible, this joke is not funny at all, my uncle is already the God Emperor of the Five Gates, and few people in the world can kill him, impossible, no ......."
Ah Cheng didn't believe that Lao Chu had left, but halfway through his words, he stopped, because next to the door, he saw several Sword Sect disciples walking out carrying the corpse of an old man.
This old man is dressed in a Taoist robe, and he seems to be the head of the Sword Sect, his cultivation is not much higher than Lao Chu, and now even he has been sacrificed, so what is the chance of Lao Chu surviving?
"No, it can't be, it can't ......."
Finally, Ah Cheng couldn't hold back the grief in his heart and cried out. The two of them cried desperately inside the house, and at the same time, outside the house, in the base, there was also a cry. After the young masters and young ladies of those major families learned that their parents had not returned, they instantly collapsed, and at this moment, the entire base was crying, and the scene was very sad.
After comforting Chu Chu for a while, Zhang Zhao walked out of the door with a blank expression. There were less than seventy of the warriors who survived yesterday, and more than twenty of them were seriously injured, and they died not long after they returned. Looking at this cold corpse and the desperate cries of the living, Zhang Zhao's heart ached.
"Today. ”
Finally, he spoke, interrupting everyone's cries.
"All our weeping, all our tears, all our blood and death. One day, I will make the Golden Eagle Sect double its return. ”
A day later, the base was still silent in grief, but it was much better than yesterday.
The warriors from the northwest stayed at the base for the time being, and the warriors from other cities who went to help went back one after another.
The disaster has struck, and the fall of the northwest is only the first step, and there are still eleven areas to be guarded, so there is still a lot to do.
"Instructor Zhong, how did you convince the Demon King to let him send so many flying demon beasts over to help?"
In the conference room, Zhang Zhao remembered the scene where Zhong Ling rode a colorful feathered bird yesterday, and couldn't help asking.
Zhong Ling showed a pleased smile and said, "I have been in contact with this demon king for the longest time, and I was very afraid of him in the first few days, and I always thought that he was a big devil, and I would eat people when I saw him. But after getting along for a long time, I found out that the demon king is actually a newborn child, a blank piece of paper, and we need to do the right guidance, after a few years of education, the demon king has gradually become human. That day, I learned that you were trapped in the northwest, so I asked him to send the demon clan to rescue him, originally with the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect him to agree immediately. It's just that when I asked if he could send demon beasts to help when we fought the Golden Eagle Sect, he didn't say anything. But I don't think it's a big problem, and when I talk to him again, maybe I can help. ”
Zhong Ling's words made Zhang Zhao feel extremely surprised. Originally, this was just for her to become a trader and teach the demon king the knowledge of humans, but now, she actually educated the demon king into a patriotic young man. This kind of credit is absolutely world-class.
"Okay, since Instructor Zhong has such a ability, then I won't say more, and you will be in charge of the demon king's side. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhao raised his voice a little and said: "In the first battle in the northwest, the blood was seriously injured and could not recover in the short term, which gave us plenty of time to prepare. However, there were countless warriors who died due to self-explosion in that battle, and the blood annihilation evolved because of blood, so after this recovery, the power of the blood annihilation is even stronger than before. ”
"Uh-huh....."
Strategy instructor Sun Yingrong nodded, and analyzed: "In the Northwest War, we were almost wiped out, but according to my analysis, the main reason is that the time is too hasty, and there is not much time for layout. Since the two sides are outnumbered and fighting on a large scale, we can take advantage of the terrain and give us the absolute upper hand. In addition, we can also apply the principle of the five elements to restrain each other, light and darkness, and fight against good and evil in the future. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhao frowned, glanced at Sun Yingrong, and said: "Terrain advantage, according to the current point of view, the most favorable terrain in the whole of China is Cloud City. ”
"Yes, the battle between good and evil is different from other battles, but the terrain advantage can still be used. At present, the more favorable cities are related to Shanshan, Laoshan, Nanhai and Yuncheng. The first three, I won't say much, there is a lot of spiritual energy there, and the so-called advantage is that there are many powerful hermitages there, and once a battle breaks out, there is no reason why they should not participate. As for Cloud City, the altitude is high, and it is generally difficult for someone to come up directly from the sword, so we must pass through the zigzag mountain road, which is our best place to block the attack. ”
Hearing Sun Yingrong's analysis, Zhang Zhao agreed very much, and he was also very proficient in strategic deployment. The first battle in the northwest, although it was a fiasco, but if you think about it carefully, there is no time to deploy, and it is also the biggest reason, because no one expected that the Golden Eagle Sect's invasion speed would be so rapid, and the day before yesterday in the middle of the night just finished the raid on Xueying Town, and the next morning directly went to the Sword Gate to launch a general attack.
However, the continuous battle also made the Golden Eagle Sect pay a heavy price, the sect leader was seriously injured and fled, and his subordinate hall master was killed and wounded three people, and the elite and below disciples, at least a thousand were killed and wounded.
