Chapter 224: The Dajin Island Defense Line
"Xiao Daoyou, from now on, you are in charge of these nine nodes, and now there are not enough third-order array mages, and four of them are supported by two second-order array mages, so you have to focus on taking care of these four nodes.
There are two tasks for you, first, protect the formation nodes, don't let the nodes collapse and affect the operation of the large array, and second, protect the formation mages, the demon beasts sometimes break in, you command the Dharma Protector monks to kill, if you can't kill them, you do it yourself.
If the formation node collapses, you have to maintain it immediately, let the rest of the nodes share the pressure, and then notify Lord Guo, who will send someone to repair the formation, and in the same way, if the formation mage has any casualties, he must also report it immediately, and someone will be sent to take over."
"Don't worry, I know, there will be no problem"
Only three days later, Lin Xiao was sent to the front line, responsible for nine important formation nodes, Dajin Island really couldn't draw people, so it could only be like this.
At this time, Lin Xiao was still in charge of thirteen array mages, as well as twenty Dharma Protector Monks, these Dharma Protector Monks were specially here to protect the array mages, but there were only two Purple Mansion Dharma Protectors, and the rest were Condensation Vein Monks.
After the others left, Lin Xiao gathered the human array mages and took the school exams one by one to test their level, and the thirteen array mages had no opinion, this is what every new formation mage has to do, if you don't understand their level, there may be a big omission.
"Everyone, I already know your level, although your level is not as good as Xiao, but your experience is stronger than mine, so there is nothing to say, everything is business as usual, this is Xiao's experience in studying the formation, you can circulate it"
Lin Xiao was very satisfied after the inspection, they were hindered by cultivation, and their level was not raised to the fourth order, but the foundation was very solid, and they had experience in large-scale offensive and defensive battles, which was more than Lin Xiao's experience, so Lin Xiao took out his own formation experience and gave them a few people according to the level.
"Thank you, sir."
When the thirteen formation mages saw it, they were immediately overjoyed, the formation experience was related to the secrets of their own inheritance, and ordinary people were not willing to give it easily, especially high-level monks to low-level monks, many people had a high-level attitude, how could they have such a good attitude.
"Come on, fellow Daoists, Xiao is from Nanzhou, he is here to make contributions, I hope you are the same, not only to live, but also to earn more merits, and the road will be smooth in the future"
"Then it will be the good words of the adults"
"Thank you, sir."
A group of people thanked them, and Lin Xiao asked them to return to their original positions, and then Lin Xiao found twenty more Dharma Protector Monks and took out some spirit meat and thousand spirit wine.
Dajin Island has been besieged for two years, and the resources on the island have long been controlled, and the consumption is also very large, although the treasure ship sent a batch of materials in three days ago, but there are very few people who can be divided into individuals, and many people are about to drool when they see the spirit meat that Lin Xiao took out.
"Spirit wine, this is spirit wine, thank you, sir"
"It's been a long time since I've drunk spiritual wine"
"You don't have to be polite, we will be comrades fighting side by side in the future, and I hope you will protect this formation with me."
"It's nature, it's our duty"
"Okay, then thank you very much, brothers toast together, I estimate that I will be stationed here for a long time in the future, as long as the demon beasts are not attacking the city, and there is free time, you can come and consult me about some cultivation questions, Xiao Mou said everything"
Lin Xiao raised his cup and said, the first thing he did when he came was to mingle with the monks here, his posture was extremely low, and at the same time, the greeting gifts were constantly sprinkled out.
Things like the beast tide or the legion war, the personal bravery has become very low, no matter how powerful you are, if you encounter a steady stream of enemies, you will also be beaten to death by the group, no one's mystic energy is infinite, and people will be tired, so you must rely on your companions and comrades in order to survive on the battlefield.
Lin Xiao took advantage of the convenience of his identity to inspect the city wall, and looked coldly at the demon beast army outside the city, the demon beast army was entrenched five kilometers away, and the attack power of the general long-range means at this distance was weakened a lot, and the Dajin Island side generally did not take the initiative to attack, and the strategic purpose was to rely on the formation to consume these demon beasts.
The demon beasts outside are basically amphibians and pure land demon beasts, and the number is not comparable to the number of demon beasts densely packed in the three-thousand-mile sea area, but it still makes people's scalps numb, especially some amphibians are extremely large, which is the main force of the siege, and the threat is also great.
At this time, there was no siege, those demon beasts were eating, and most of the food sources were demon beasts killed in battle and a small number of Terran monks.
There were no corpses of demon beasts left in front of the city wall, and they were basically dragged away, which is also an important manifestation of the lack of strength of Dajin Island, knowing that these demon beasts will increase in strength after devouring demon beasts, but there is still no way to stop it.
"Boom, boom"
Suddenly, there were several violent Xuan Qi fluctuations among the demon beasts, and some demon beasts broke through after devouring blood food or demon beast inner pills, causing a panic among the surrounding demon beasts.
Sure enough, the breakthrough demon beasts began to attack the surrounding demon beasts, trying to devour them again, but soon a Zhi clan demon beast appeared with a higher-level demon beast, stopping those demon beasts that had just broken through, and the demon beast group regained its calm again.
"My lord, I've seen my lord"
"No need to be polite, this is the Xuanjing Cannon?"
Lin Xiao patrolled the city wall, the patrolling guards kept saluting Lin Xiao, and the Daogang monks were already high-level in Dajin Island, and they were the backbone of the guards.
Lin Xiao pointed to something similar to a cannon on the wall and said, this thing is somewhat similar to the cannon in his previous life, mainly because it has a long barrel, but the two worlds are different, in fact, this Xuanjing cannon is also different, at least the Xuanjing cannon has no cannonballs, with Xuanjing as the power source, it bursts out with a burst of spiritual light.
"Yes, my lord, this is the Xuanjing Cannon, these are the simple Xuanjing Cannons that have just been researched in the last hundred years, the Xuanjing Cannons are better than the large crossbow arrows and god-destroying crossbows, the Xuanjing Cannons are too big and the level is too high, at least they are all fifth-order, one cannon will cost 100,000 Xuanjing, the cost is too big and the efficiency is too low.
Later, the formation mages continued to simplify, and only now there are now this third-order Xuanjing cannon, as long as one thousand Xuanjing, it can send out an effect equivalent to the full force of the tenth layer of the Purple Mansion, as long as there are many of them, it is better to use against demon beasts."
"Understood, thanks for the pointers"
"Don't dare, I'm going to continue patrolling."
"Well, you're busy."
Lin Xiao nodded, and then turned on the system, asking if the system included this kind of Xuanjing Cannon to see if it could mix up some points, but the system explained that the theory of the big and small Xuanjing Cannon was the same, so it could not be regarded as a brand new thing, so he couldn't get points, which made Lin Xiao very disappointed.
Lin Xiao returned to his post after the inspection, and he had a general understanding of Dajin Island, which is an important node in the second line of defense set up by the Luoxinghai Islands, for which the Luoxinghai Alliance has stationed heavy troops here, with more than 50,000 monks, three Lingguang monks, twenty or thirty Daogang, and more than two hundred people in Zifu.
And after a while, there will be treasure ships rushing in to make up for the loss of personnel and material consumption, forming a refueling tactic, but not all refueling tactics are wrong, in the general situation of Luo Xinghai, refueling tactics can also drag the monster beast to death in this line, so that the personnel and materials in the rear of the Luo Xinghai Islands can be fully utilized, and build a more powerful front.
According to Luo Xinghai's practice in the past, unless the Deep Sea Demon Clan fought with all their might, otherwise the war would basically be concentrated in this second line of defense, as long as the number of demon beasts was consumed to a certain extent, the demon beasts would naturally retreat.
But it's not without mistakes, the second line of defense is a narrow line of defense composed of more than 20 islands, if the monster breaks through one or two of these points, it is possible to surround a certain node, at that time the intelligent monster will also change its tactics, such as gathering most of the demon beasts, encircling the island for thousands of miles, so that the treasure ship can not break through the encirclement to transport materials in, and after a long time, the island will not be able to support it, resulting in the collapse of the whole line.
Therefore, the most important thing for the Luo Xinghai Alliance is to ensure the penetration of the defense line, and no point can fall, otherwise there will be a danger of total annihilation.
Lin Xiao is used to being the leader, and his thinking mode is considered from the overall situation, so when he returned to his post, Lin Xiao was dumbfounded, he was just a formation mage now, how could he manage so much, besides, the Luoxinghai Islands also have a history of tens of thousands of years, and people who deal with demon beasts every day should not be so stupid.
Fourth-order array mages have three thousand merits in one day stationed on Dajin Island, if the demon beast attacks the city there is another additional reward, the treatment is very generous, as long as the whole battle does not die, basically it is no problem to earn a few million Xuanjing, a little harder, you can get the island reward from the alliance, so as to take root in the Luoxinghai Islands, this kind of reward is very tempting for some casual cultivators.
After all, the island is not the same as on the land, if you get an island, then on the island, he is the boss, and the beast tide is not just coming, once the beast tide passes, it will take at least a few hundred years when it comes next time, if it is a master of great talent, a few hundred years is enough time to develop, and even the next beast tide can be used as an opportunity for development, in fact, many forces in the Luoxinghai Islands have made their fortunes in this way.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, Lin Xiao has completely integrated into the Great Golden Island, during these two months, the demon beasts will basically attack the city every three or four days, and the intensity is not strong each time, mainly to consume the low-level demon beasts, and then let the rest of the demon beasts devour and grow.
However, as time passed, the number of monsters decreased, but the higher the rank, and the difficulty of guarding became more and more difficult, which made the morale of the city slowly low.
