"My advice is to stick to it. "Thomas knows that the situation is urgent, and if he keeps it, it will be a catastrophe.

"Agree to hold on, we already have the first line of defense, although the height of the stone wall is not enough, the thickness of the fortress will not be broken by the giant beast in an instant, and the defense area is relatively narrow, we have enough manpower to support the defense line. On the other hand, if we make the choice of retreat, we will also need to detach a group of men to stay behind and block the attack, if the resistance is not strong enough, and the ugly beast is chased along the way, our entire expedition team will be in danger of capsizing. If there are too many people left, it is better to hold on. Bird naturally supported Thomas's decision.

"Tell me what you think, Mary!" Chino glanced at the ugly beasts on the other side of the rain curtain, still devouring the fanged horned monsters, and didn't seem to have any intention of attacking immediately.

"I'm more inclined to retreat, because I don't think it's wise to go head-on with these ugly beasts. Bloody Mary gave her opinion.

"Hugo, what about you?" said Chino, looking at Hugo again.

"Hold on. Hugo groaned slightly, "I know it's not a good thing to go head-on with the ugly beast, but we don't have a better choice. As Mr. Byrd said, if we retreat, it is easy to turn a battle that could have been supported into an irretrievable rout. ”

"And what do you Salesians mean, Illario?" said Chino, looking at Illario, one of the two Salesian leaders.

"Personally, I don't agree with either option, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer to retreat. Guys, why don't we choose the third option? We don't necessarily have to fight the ugly beast head-on, maybe we can use a more reasonable plan to avoid this one. For example, we withdrew most of our expedition members to the rock wall, and the powerful leaders assisted in the defense, as long as they were at a height that the ugly beast could not attack, the ugly beast could not take them. Ugly beasts can't stay here forever, as long as they leave, we can leave the canyon calmly, and we don't need to fight them to the end!"

"But what if the ugly beasts think we're delicious food, and they won't leave, and they've been waiting at the bottom?" asked Josiah.

"We can send our masters to lure them away. "Illario has his own way.

"The question is, how high do our personnel have to climb to be really safe? The ugliness of the giant beast does not mean that they will not climb at all, especially in the interior of the Long Rock Canyon, there are many relatively gentle slopes, which are not as steep as the edge of the valley mouth, what kind of height or position do our personnel need to reach to be truly safe?" Chino had a bit of a headache, how to solve this problem.

"It's also a problem that the personnel are scattered and we can't concentrate our forces against the known and unknown enemy at that time. Bird was also a little worried, the enemies that had already appeared were already difficult to deal with, what if there were still unknown enemies?

In case the enemy attacks from the sky.

When the time comes, how will the expedition members attached to the rock wall meet the enemy, and how will their own leaders come to the rescue?

Concentration of power and dispersion of power.

are two concepts.

If those ugly beasts know how to climb the slope, then the scattered expedition team will be broken one by one, and the consequences will be even more serious.

"Arius and John, tell me about it as well. Chino looked at the ugly beasts that were eating like crazy, and wished that the corpses of the fanged horned monsters would fill their bellies, but it was ridiculous to rely on the mercy of a group of bloodthirsty hunters, and Chino would never believe that the ugly beasts would spare the delicious and juicy humans.

"Perseverance, I think that whether it is retreating or climbing the slope to avoid the battle, it must be carried out on the basis of perseverance and success, otherwise it will be a nightmare. Arius took charge as the Holy Banner, and he made a clear decision: "I will lead the Guardian Knights to fend off the first wave of the Ugly Behemoth." ”

"Our Eye of God withstands the second wave of attacks. Thomas was more in favor of Arius's decision.

"We ascetics and monastics hold on to the stone walls the whole time. An ascetic represented.

"I will fight alongside you, and I hope that the Templars below ten will be prepared to climb the rock wall in advance, and I promise that they will work on the second line of defense until the team announces that they will abandon the first line of defense, and then they will climb the rock wall to avoid the behemoths. Also, I want to be able to send Mary to bypass the beast and return to find Mr. Wood, preferably with Mr. Wood and the support of his special forces team!"

"If Duke Mary agrees, John is willing to go with you. The silver spoon John the Wise said he could lead the way.

"Yes. Bloody Mary groaned and nodded.

"Mr. David, what is your opinion?" Cardinal Chino looked at David, the other leader of the Three Lions faction of the Plantagenet Dynasty, he knew that this David and Bloody Mary were absolute mortal enemies, and his question was to hope that David would not make trouble in this environment, work together, be unanimous with the outside world, and wait for differences to tide over the difficulties.

"Of course, I absolutely support your decision, and in fact, I would also like to know the whereabouts of Mr. Wood. David smiled very sincerely.

"What about your suggestion, Lady of Light?" Cardinal Chino respectfully consulted the Patriarch of the Bright Order.

"Since it's decided, let's do it, and everything will be fine!" the kind old woman nodded.

"Yes. Chino gave her another salute.

Then he looked at Cardinal Nero, who really had the right to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth to speak.

Cardinal Nero is the leader of the expedition team, and he is not easy to open his mouth to speak, and sometimes as soon as things come out of his mouth, it is easy to become a final conclusion, causing the interests of other major forces to be damaged, so that the situation is difficult to reconcile.

Right now.

Chino took out the options and discussed them, and came up with a plan, just waiting for Cardinal Nero, the leader, to make a final decision.

Cardinal Nero nodded, he took the silver cross, kissed the icon reverently, and then raised his eyes and looked around at the people: "This is the test of the Lord on our pilgrimage, God Almighty will always watch us with his omnipresent eyes, as long as we have hope, we will be able to pass the test!"

As soon as the old man said this, everyone immediately scattered and hurried to deal with the upcoming battle.

Thankfully, in the Fallen Lands, a powerful bloodthirsty enemy is looming.

Otherwise.

It's hard to see this kind of concerted effort.

Countless heavy weapons are assembled, such as the Super Giant Crossbow that fires steel arrows.

One by one, they were pulled to the previously prepared turret behind the stone wall as the first weapon to stop the ugly beast.

Flamethrowers as well as napalm incendiary bottles, burning barrels, etc.

Delivered quickly.

All the expedition members with a combat strength of less than five points made it up the rock wall, and they had to find a safe place to live as fast as possible, not only for themselves, but also for their companions.

In the rock crevice hundreds of meters high, David, who moved the fastest, was leading his subordinates to clean up the original natives such as poisonous snakes, lizards, and spiders in the rock crevice.

Hugo stood on the stone wall.

With a solemn expression, he stared at the ugly beasts that were still frantically gluttonous dozens of meters away.

These giant beasts didn't seem to see a stone wall in front of them, and as for what the humans inside were doing, they ignored it, devouring the prey around them wholeheartedly, as if just those toothy and horned monsters who were injured and disabled and couldn't escape could feed them to their contentment.

Although a distance of tens of meters is nothing more than a dozen steps for them.

But the weird thing is.

They didn't keep coming.

"I think they have intelligence, and their intelligence is much better than that of the Stormtooth Horned Monster, they know that we will resist, and it is not easy to gnaw, so they slaughter the Stormtooth Horned Monster first, fill their belly, and then grind with us slowly, and fight for consumption! Of course, it is also possible that they are waiting for their companions, and I noticed that their cries, the loud vibrations should be transmitted with infrasound, and their companions have some way of receiving their calls from a great distance, making sure that there is enough food in a certain position, and they will come from in front of them. "Hugo would rather fight a group of beasts that have no intelligence and only desire (river crabs), but unfortunately, these seemingly brainless and ugly beasts in front of him are actually quite smart, and can even be said to be cunning.

"They're not beasts, they're demons...... Cardinal Chino glanced left and right, lowered his voice, and revealed a secret message to Hugo: "Just now I learned their names from the mouths of some insiders, these demons were called 'Shakamano' in ancient times, and we now call them Devouring Demons! They belong to relatively advanced demons, with intelligence close to that of human young people!"

"Shacamano??" Hugo was slightly stunned.

"Have you heard of that name too?" asked Chino, in a low voice.

"My grandfather's uncle is said to have died at the hands of this demon. Hugo suddenly realized that the demon Shacamano was like this, no wonder it was so powerful that a certain hundred-man brigade of the Knights Templar could be wiped out, and even the same number of reinforcements was only five people left.

"Such demons rarely appear, we have entered the Fallen many times, and there are very few records of their appearance. Chino shook his head and sighed: "This time it was very unlucky, let us meet!"

"Do you think they were driven by someone?" asked Hugo, also in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be possible to drive, right?" Chino wasn't sure.

"What about inducement?" asked Hugo again.

"I can't give you an answer. If your guess is yes, then our plan to avoid the battle by hiding on the rock wall will be very dangerous!" "Chino is not very optimistic about the plan to avoid the battle by hiding on the rock wall, because it is too passive, and if the situation changes, the entire expedition team will be stuck in the Changyan Canyon and unable to move, and there is a dilemma.

"I hope that Mary and John can find Mr. Wood as soon as possible and bring back reinforcements as soon as possible!" Hugo's only hope now is that Lin Dong can appear in time.
