During Bafeng's cold retreat, many urgent espionage reports from the southwest defense line poured into Quyi City like a flood.

General's Palace

At this time, in the council hall, General Zhenxi sat in front of him in armor, and a total of 12 wooden chairs on both sides below were full, and the adjutant generals had already arrived.

Three days ago, the army that entered the Warcraft Forest rescued a seriously injured mercenary and brought it back to the city to recuperate, through inquiry, the situation described was more serious than what the eldest princess said, all the cultivators who were active in it were all killed by the Warcraft frenziedly, and now the Warcraft Forest has become a purgatory for human beings.

After that, only a day later, news came from the garrisons everywhere that a large number of demonic beasts had emerged at the edge of the forest, and the accompanying soldiers who were responsible for detecting their movements had suffered heavy casualties and had all been recalled.

Soon after the entire southwest defense line entered a state of emergency readiness, the tidal herd of beasts suicidally poured into the wasteland, consuming the energy of the formation.

Zhong Yan put the latest front-line spy report on the case, swept over everyone with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "High-level demonic beasts have also appeared in the jurisdiction of Hanxiao City. ”

This is the tenth spy report of its kind.

Now there are demonic beasts above the fifth order everywhere, which has never appeared in the previous beast tide, and the battle situation is already very serious.

Although there is a wasteland as a barrier, and there are long-range defensive formations such as giant crossbows and trebuchets on the front line, there is a steady stream of demonic beasts pouring into it, and once the energy to maintain the large array is exhausted, the border army will confront the beasts head-on, and at that time, whether they win or lose, the entire southwest defense line is destined to turn into a sea of blood.

"Quickly order the Ministry of Industry to step up the production of crossbow arrows and flint and other combat materials, be sure to ensure the supply of the front line, and open the wartime teleportation array to ask for help from the imperial capital!"

High-level demonic beasts can only be contended by powerful cultivators, but only the royal family can mobilize those transcendent beings.

"Newspaper—"

A herald who had just come down from the front line hurriedly walked to the front of the hall, curtsied and saluted: "General Qiyu, a seventh-order golden-winged Dapeng has appeared outside the city, and it seems that it is destroying the formation base!"

Zhong Yan got up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "The foundation of the formation is buried dozens of meters underground, and a layer of iron and lead several meters thick is also infused in the middle, which is enough to resist the attack of an eighth-order demonic beast, how can a seventh-order demonic beast be shaken?!"

The herald continued: "The golden-winged Dapeng flapped its wings, and the yellow mangs submerged into the ground, and with a few muffled sounds, several formations have stopped running, the specific reason is not clear, but the preliminary judgment should be that the formation base is damaged!"

Zhong Yan's face sank like water, and after waving his hand to signal him to retreat, he said to a member of the army: "You immediately go to the Ministry of Industry and ask the children of the Mo family to go to the front line to find out the reason and see if there is any way to deal with it." ”

The soldier was ordered to leave.

"The others have their own duties, and while rejecting the tide of beasts, they must maintain order in the city, so as to prevent chickens and dogs from taking advantage of the chaos. Zhong Yan glanced at Shi Lu and continued: "Vice General Shi will stay for the time being, and the others will retreat." ”

After everyone left one after another, Shi Lu said: "In the past few days, my subordinates have been sending people to guard outside the worship compound, as long as Bafenghan appears, they will report immediately, what does the general command?"

Zhong Yan, who had been frowning for several days, rarely showed a smile, pointed at him and said, "You kid is very thoughtful. ”

"Didn't the general ask about Ba Fenghan?"

"Not quite. Zhong Yan said in a deep voice: "Our army relies on the formation to block the beast herd in the wasteland, at present, the entire southwest defense line is still dominant, but the appearance of the golden-winged Dapeng is likely to threaten Qu Reverse City, and the adjacent garrison is dragged by the beast group in the jurisdiction, and there is no ability to divide troops to rush to help in a short time, once the formation is broken by the beast group, Qu Reverse City as the center is likely to be surrounded on all sides, which is not good for our army." ”

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, if you are sent to lead the heavy armor legion in front of the defensive formation, ready to enter the wasteland and fight with the beasts at any time, so as to suspend the burden of the large array, do you dare?"

The large array is the best barrier at present, and it is also the advantage of the border army, if the large array is overburdened, the only way to send troops into the formation to share the attack of the beast herd, and the long-range support of the defensive army formation can effectively prevent the beast group from taking advantage of the weakness and minimize casualties.

Shi Lu's eyes shone brightly, and he already understood that this was a heavy responsibility.

He got up and left his seat, walked to the middle, bowed down and hugged his fists, and said, "The last general will definitely die!"

Zhong Yan raised his hand to stop his words, "Aside from the official position, you and the eldest princess grew up under my watch, it is a matter of life and death, you don't have to give me an answer right away." ”

Shi Lu lifted his belly, which had fallen because of obesity, and grinned: "Yan Guonan, why are you afraid of death?"

Zhong Yan stepped forward from his seat and patted him on the shoulder, "More bloody than you Lao Tzu!"

"After Ba Fenghan came out, bring him to see me. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man with a narrow knife hanging from his waist striding towards the council hall from a distance.

Shi Lu looked at the figure outside the door and said, "General, he has come." ”
