Chapter 405, you say it again
An hour has passed, and even the soldiers on the city wall have changed two batches, but the demonic beasts outside are still endless. Li Xiao estimated that in just this hour, the number of dead demonic beasts had exceeded 300,000. But I still can't clearly feel that the number of demon beasts has decreased, and those vacant places of dead demon beasts will soon be filled by the demon beasts behind. As for how many demonic beasts are behind it, Li Xiao is not clear. Because there are so many of them, you can't see the end at all. Although most of them are second-, third- and fourth-level demonic beasts, they still can't stand too many.
However, what really worried Li Xiao was not only these cannon fodder-level demonic beasts, what really worried him was the hundreds of primordial infancy-stage sea clans that stayed on the back of the giant whale and the hundreds of tenth-level peak demonic beasts around them.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiao asked Kuang Wuyang next to him: "Commander Kuang, how long does an attack like this usually last?"
Kuang Wuyang knew Li Xiao's worries, but he had no intention of hiding them, and replied directly: "According to the usual situation, this kind of attack will continue until they have consumed more than half of the demonic beasts and still have not been able to break the protective shield. Once they find out that the shield is likely to be broken, then it will go on until the shield is broken, or the number of monsters is consumed until there are less than 300,000 left. ”
"So dare to ask how long our protective shield will last at this frequency?" Li Xiao continued.
"If the current situation is followed, there is no problem with the reserve of magic stones enough to support ten days and half a month. However, even if the soldiers who infused energy into the formation took turns like this, I am afraid that they would only hold on for another ten hours, and the energy would not be replaced. And. At this he paused, and then swept around the soldiers who had taken over from him on and behind the walls.
Li Xiao understood what he meant, in addition to those soldiers who maintained the protective shield, these soldiers on the city wall could only hold out for so long. Whether it's a soldier on the city wall or a soldier maintaining a protective shield, if any side makes a mistake, the other side will quickly collapse.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao glanced at the group of demonic beasts outside that were still in the background, and then said: "There should still be many idle monks in the city, and many Heavenly Demon Families have cultivated their own teams, why don't you gather them? This is also a force that cannot be underestimated, even if it has not been systematically trained, but it is enough to reduce many burdens when inserted into our soldiers." So that our soldiers can spare more time to recover. ”
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Kuang Wuyang shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "Actually, I have tested what you said before, and we have never had a precedent for summoning these people to defend the city. Second, they haven't been trained, and it's easy to disrupt our rhythm. And in their conception, these are the things of our city defenders, and they have nothing to do with them. They pay so many taxes every year, fund the cultivation of the formation, and have already made their efforts, and if they are asked to risk their lives, they will naturally not be willing. After all, even if the Sea Clan really attacked, they would not slaughter at will, but would only plunder supplies. At least their lives are not in danger. And. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the river, and then sighed and said, "I think you should also know that this hunt is to put it bluntly, in fact, the two sides are just trading in this way. After the first few times we won, these people in the city have all benefited a lot. And if we lose this time, they will only blame us for being useless, and they will not feel sorry for us. In their eyes, we are their bodyguards. So the end result is that only a very small percentage of people are willing to come forward. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the result at all. Aren't those people afraid of their families being ruined? Would rather look forward to the mercy of these robbers than fight with all their might? Isn't it his business to defend his homeland? For a while, Li Xiao's heart was cold.
In the original world, in the face of the Worship of God and the Heavenly Demons, although some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death did not participate in the resistance, most of the monks stood up one after another and formed an alliance. It was precisely because of everyone's unity that they finally resisted the attacks of the God Worship Cult and the Heavenly Demons. But here is completely different, and the selfishness of the people here makes Li Xiao shudder.
Li Xiao looked at the dense demonic beasts on the river in the distance, and then looked at the soldiers who were constantly fighting on the city wall, and suddenly had a sigh in his heart: "Why do they work so hard, they have paid so much, and they may even have to defend this city with their own lives." But everything they do is not even the most basic recognition. So what's the point of doing so much, isn't the life of these soldiers the life?"
Thinking of this, Li Xiao took a deep breath, and then said to Kuang Wuyang: "Commander Kuang, I want to try again, please ask the city lord to summon those idle monks in the city who are above the foundation period, as for those Heavenly Demon Clans, they need to trouble him to help persuade them." ”
Seeing that Li Xiao insisted, Kuang Wuyang didn't say anything more, and immediately took out a transmission note to send a transmission note to the city lord who was on duty in another place. Soon the city lord gave an affirmative answer. The city lord's speed was still very good, and in less than half an hour, the central school field was full of idle monks. Among them were thousands of Jindan monks, as well as more than thirty Yuan Infant monks. The high-end strength of those soldiers on the city wall is probably only that. If they can all help, then Li Xiao is sure that he can defend this city.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Li Xiao walked up to the rostrum and glanced at the chaotic crowd below. frowned, and then shouted, "Please be quiet, everyone." Seeing that Li Xiao was about to speak, the discussion in the crowd gradually became quieter.
Li Xiao continued: "Now the army of the Sea Clan is constantly attacking our protective shield, and I believe you all know that this time the Sea Clan will take us as the main target. Therefore, the team sent out is much stronger than in previous years. With our current army, we simply don't have enough manpower to withstand their attacks. I have gathered you all here in the hope that you can do your part to defend our homes and property against the invasion of the Sea Clan. ”
As soon as Li Xiao's words came out, the following was immediately discussed. It's just that few people are willing to stand up, and most of them are discussing how to keep their finances and how to hide when the time comes. There were even some people muttering about the uselessness of the garrison, calling them rubbish.
If it was said that his heart was a little cold when he heard it from Kuang Wuyang's mouth at the beginning, but now that he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Li Xiao suddenly felt a sense of discouragement.
Listening to their discussion, Li Xiao suddenly felt irritated and couldn't help but ask loudly: "Don't you have no blood at all? Aren't you afraid that your family will be ruined? Then what are you practicing for?"
Li Xiao roared like this, and the following immediately fell silent. Although they didn't speak, Li Xiao could still see a trace of contempt in their eyes. At this time, a late Yuan Infant monk standing at the front suddenly spoke: "Our cultivation is naturally to live longer and enjoy life better. As for defending the city, it was your duty. Now that you can't hold on, you're asking us to help, so what's the use of you?"
When Li Xiao said this, his brows furrowed, and a wave of anger came up in his heart. He couldn't help but clench his fists and said coldly, "You say it again." ”
When Li Xiao said this, the man sneered and said, "What's the matter? What kind of murder is it to me, if you have the ability, you will defend the city? However, Uncle Ben is also good-hearted, if you can give me one or two high-grade pills as payment, I can't be hired." As for how much you contribute, it depends on how much you are paid. He looked at Li Xiao with a sneer.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao suddenly sneered and said, "If you want to be rewarded, then go to the Sea Clan and ask for it." As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and an invisible sword shadow flew towards the man.
When the people around saw that Li Xiao actually said something, they all retreated back, for fear of harming the pond fish. And when the man saw Li Xiao attacking, he sneered, and immediately summoned his yellow-level fan-shaped magic weapon, and swung a huge wind blade at Li Xiao's invisible sword shadow.
The sword shadow and the wind blade collided together, and there was an immediate metallic impact, and the castration of the sword shadow immediately stopped. However, before the man could laugh, a series of crashing sounds came from the point of impact of the wind blade and the sword shadow. I saw that with the sound of impact, more and more dense cracks gradually appeared on the wind blade. When the sound reached the seventh layer, the entire wind blade was directly broken into two sections from the middle. The sword shadow directly pierced the broken wind blade and continued to fly towards the man.
Seeing that this man had no time to launch the second wind blade, he could only protect the magic weapon in front of him. However, at this moment, a handprint the size of a zhang suddenly appeared on the man's head, and he lined up directly at the man.
The man who suddenly attacked didn't have time to dodge at all, but subconsciously opened the protective shield of the magic weapon on his body. However, how could the temporarily activated magic weapon-level protective shield be able to withstand Li Xiao's attack, and it was shattered by the handprint in the blink of an eye. Then the handprint slapped the man's body, placing him directly on the ground.
A late Yuan Infant Monk was so easily solved by Li Xiao's two moves. Although there was a reason for the man's carelessness, and the two were too close to each other, there was not much reaction time at all, but it was enough to make the people around them stunned.
Li Xiao raised his hand and sucked the man on the ground who had been slapped all over his body and was seriously injured, and then threw it to the two soldiers behind him, and said to them: "Throw him out of the protective shield and feed the demonic beast." ”
