Lin Xiao was in a situation where no one could stop him, and he desperately killed towards the place where there were many second- and third-order demon beasts, because Lin Xiao knew that since this group of demon beasts appeared in the fourth-order, then the intelligent demon beasts had to be at least third-order, otherwise even if there was a higher-level demon king suppressing them, those fourth-order demon beasts would not obey their orders.

Lin Xiao's strategy was right, and soon, there were countless frightened beast roars among the demon beast group, and then the entire demon beast was retreating, including those demon beasts that were fighting fiercely, and the one who was restrained by Bai Zichen and the others quickly returned to defense.

Lin Xiao waited until the time of the system shield passed, immediately vacated the air, did not entangle with the demon beasts, and then followed the army to cover up for a while, chased out three or four miles, did not chase, and quickly withdrew, cleaning the battlefield by the way.

Lin Xiao watched the demon beasts retreat, and only after they retreated to thirty or forty miles did Lin Xiao slowly retreat, and most of the men and horses also retreated to the camp, and everywhere they looked, there were all monks who were so tired that they collapsed to the ground.

"Hurry up, the monks who did not participate in the battle immediately took action, helped rescue the wounded, law enforcement team, collected the loot, logistics battalion, immediately opened fire and prepared meals, what are you still doing in a daze, go up to the camp wall, and monitor the enemy army"

Zhang Mingtang took a group of stewards to quickly arrange matters, Lin Xiao didn't care so much, after returning to his camp, he quickly swallowed the pill and meditated, after a big battle, Lin Xiao's Xuan Qi consumed a lot, and he had to maintain enough Xuan Qi to have a sense of security.

Two hours later, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, and then removed the formation of the camp, and soon, Zhang Mingtang came in with a few things to eat.

"Boss, please eat"

"Sit, sit, what's going on outside?"

"Not so good"

"How to say"

"Today is just a tentative attack by demon beasts, but we have killed more than 500 people and injured no less than 500 people, and we have suffered heavy casualties."

"Five hundred, so many, how many casualties have our Heavenly Saint Sect suffered?"

"There are not many Heavenly Saint Sects, only forty-six were killed in battle, but there were more than four hundred wounded, Bai Zichen and the three hundred condensation veins were too reluctant to practice the fourth-order formation, all of them were injured, and the most killed in the battle were scattered cultivators, their equipment was really poor, many condensing vein cultivators had a second-order magic sword, nothing"

"This battle damage is indeed a little higher, if it is known by the scattered cultivators, I am afraid that the morale will fall very quickly, how many of those demon beast corpses will be dragged back"

"Seven or eight hundred, less than a third"

"Send some warriors out in the evening to get some more, starting today, the spirit meat is enough, and the supply of spiritual rice will also be increased, and these demon beast materials should be separated as soon as possible, so that the monks of the four battalions of array, weapon, talisman and Dan will be transformed into combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and distribute them to scattered cultivators under the pretext of war exploits, arm them, this battle still has to be fought"

"Yes, boss, boss has something you need to deal with"

"What's the matter?"

"There are deserters in this battle today, there are quite a few people, a total of twenty-six people, and the situation is very complicated"

"The situation is complicated, there are disciples of our Heavenly Saint Sect?"

"It's good to have, as long as we treat everyone equally, it's not easy for others to say anything, the key is that there is not a single disciple of the Heavenly Saint Sect, among the twenty-six people, twenty of them are casual cultivators, six sect disciples, including one from the Tianhai Sect, and five other female cultivators, who collapsed on the spot on the battlefield, cried and ran back, killing many people, and now they are the most interceding for those five female cultivators."

"How deserters are dealt with according to military law"

"On Slashing"

"Okay, just do it, behead in front of everyone, hang the head on the camp wall, I will negotiate with Tianhaimen, and tell everyone else, ask them to supervise the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, if there is no order for someone to be a deserter, it will be dealt with the same"

"Master, this..."

"Do as I say, if there is no strict military law now, when the mass rout comes, we will all have to die"

Lin Xiao is extremely ruthless at this time, the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, if the military law cannot be strictly enforced, then no one is afraid, today is just a tentative attack, then the next decisive battle, the intensity of the battle will skyrocket again, and then don't think about everyone desperately.

"Yes, Master"

"Today's commander is your relative."

"Yes, the master, my clan brother, the lower grade spirit root qualification, is not good, so I let him learn to march and fight"

"Let him in, I have something to talk to him"

"Yes"

Zhang Mingtang nodded, and soon went out, and after a while, the entire camp was noisy, Lin Xiao also heard the sound of neat steps, it should be the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect who were pressing, Lin Xiao did not come forward, this matter did not need to be dealt with by him personally.

After a burst of screams, the entire camp suddenly fell silent, and not long after, today's commander came in, and Lin Xiao remembered that his name was Zhang Mingrui.

"Commander Zhang, sit"

"Thank you, I don't know what the boss called me"

"What do you think of today's battle, can you find out where the Zhizu demon beast is?"

"Boss, I asked people to observe it today, but I didn't find it, the other party is hiding very deeply, and the beast roar of the message is also complicated, and there is no single demon beast, so it can't be analyzed at all"

"I took a look today, there are tall orangutans behind the demon beast army, as well as tigers and giant rhinos, these main forces have not moved, and they are all cannon fodder with a large number of races, so the next battle, you must find the Zhi demon beast, and then I will send someone to behead it, once the Zhi demon beast dies, this demon beast is not to worry about, and we can hold it for tens of thousands"

Lin Xiao said to Zhang Mingrui, the threat of the Zhi clan demon beasts is too great, the troop configuration of the demon beasts attacking today is very smart, no less than the human commander, if there is no cooperation of the Zhi clan demon beasts, they will just swarm up, eight thousand people are enough to keep them all, and tens of thousands of them can be defended.

"I understand, master, when the time comes, I will find a way to fool it, revealing its feet, it's just a demon beast, no matter how smart it is, it can't compare to the human race"

"Okay, I believe you, you go back and have a good rest"

Lin Xiao nodded, then sent him out of the camp tent, and he also went to the tents of those sects in Tianhai Gate, there were eight thousand people in the camp of the Black Wind Valley, and there were only three thousand disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect among them.

In addition, there are 3,000 scattered cultivators, and the remaining 2,000 people are supported by various sects and pulled directly from Jingzhou, so Lin Xiao must deal with the deserters.

Lin Xiao personally explained to them, explaining the importance of military law, as well as the severity of this war, in this world, demon beasts and human races are immortal, and there is no room for any luck.

Lin Xiao didn't know what they thought in their hearts, but no one blamed them on the surface, after all, at this time, military law is the most important, and there are no rules, so what's the difference between it and a rabble?

After that, Lin Xiao inspected the camp again, inspected the defense, and also to appease the visiting people, the Heavenly Saint Sect has always been stingy with materials, today in addition to the supply of one catty of spiritual rice per person, there is also a supply of one catty of thousand spirit wine, and the spiritual meat is not limited, and you can eat as much as you want.

Now that everyone has eaten these things, they are basically meditating and refining the Xuan Qi in it, transforming it into cultivation, and now even the laziest people are also working hard to cultivate, and if they improve their cultivation a little more, they may be able to have more vitality on the battlefield.

Lin Xiao also went to visit Bai Zichen and them, and today it was the three hundred of them who made sacrifices to contain that fourth-order demon beast, otherwise the whole situation would be much more dangerous.

Bai Zichen and the others were mainly injured by the fourth-order formation backshock, their cultivation was still too low, they couldn't control the fourth-order formation, and the commander didn't dare to invest more people, for fear that the demon beasts would attack with all their might, so they had enough people to prepare.

Bai Zichen They are lightly injured, and there are many seriously injured, there are more than 100 people, these people can not fight again in a short time, and when they stabilize their injuries, they have to be sent back to Gongming City, today's battle, at least 700 people lost their combat effectiveness, which can be described as a heavy loss.

However, the demon beasts were not doing well, the iron-winged eagle was seriously injured by Lin Xiao, and even if it could survive, it would not be able to participate in the battle, and more than three thousand demon beasts were killed, and they also lost one-tenth of their troops.

When night fell, more than 100 monks who were seriously injured secretly sneaked out of the camp and went to the battlefield outside to pick up the corpses of those demon beasts who died in battle, and some of the remaining monks' bodies would also be brought back by the way.

So by the time the next day, the entire camp was full of blood, the usually expensive demon beast materials were stacked at will, and the spiritual meat that was rarely eaten in Sanxiu was even more open, and the white mist tea was not unlimited, the real limit was Lingmi and Qianling wine.

The great abundance of material has swept away the low-pressure atmosphere brought about by the execution of deserters in the battalion yesterday, but the problem of equipment for casual cultivation is still a big problem.

But yesterday's battle damaged the equipment in the hands of many loose cultivators, and some people even became bare-handed, so Lin Xiao had to ask people to send a batch of materials back to Gongming City, so that the refiners and talisman makers over there could refine as soon as possible, and at the same time transfer a batch of resources from the Heavenly Saint Sect's reserve warehouse to arm these scattered cultivators.

In one day, those demon beasts did not attack again, but Lin Xiao received the news from Siming Mountain, and they also fought against the demon beasts over there, at this time, the main force of the demon beast army was almost to Chen Qing Valley, and the demon beast army was diverted more and more, because those demon beasts also needed food, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, and the stones could be gnawed up.

The defense line of Siming Mountain is very stable, but the rest of the states and counties are not so ideal, because the rest of the states and counties are not as strong as the strength of Tianyun Prefecture, and the unity is far inferior, and those states and counties that have not been in contact with Chen Guo cannot fight to the death for others, and they have the intention of preserving their strength.

Wang Dao was very worried about this, once the rest of the states and counties were breached the defense line, hundreds of thousands of demon beast armies would pour into the hinterland of Lu State, although it was impossible for Chunyang Palace to recruit Tianyun Prefecture anymore, but at that time, Tianyun Prefecture would have to prepare the defense line on the side of the original Ninghe Prefecture.

In this way, the people and horses of Tianyun Prefecture will be stretched, and at that time, Tianyun Prefecture will probably have to learn from Chen Guo, clear the wilderness, and gather the people and horses to the major spiritual mountains, and in doing so, it means that at least half of the mortals will be given up, and they will be left to their fate, and the mortals lost in Tianyun Prefecture will be millions.

This is an extremely serious loss, there is not enough population to provide monks, the development of the sect will be sluggish, and the balance of the sect will also be broken, if there are too many disciples of a sect family, it is very likely to be hollowed out, for the worry of the royal road, Lin Xiao also agreed, but he couldn't do anything for the time being.
