Deciduous Leaf City, City Lord's Mansion, Council Hall.

Jian Lingtian sat at the back of the long conference table, listening to the constant disputes between the main battle faction and the retreating faction, he almost fell asleep, to be honest, he was really not interested in the interests of these officials, and he didn't have that kind of military overall view, so he didn't know whether to withdraw or leave.

In all fairness, of course he wanted to stay here and fight against the boundless tide of the undead, because once he retreated, half of the southern realm would be reduced to hell, and those undead would slaughter all living beings, whether they were humans or demonic beasts.

But at the same time, he also knew that once he stubbornly defended Fallen Leaf City, he would lose the outcome - Frost Leaf City would not have enough defensive strength in a short period of time, and if Frost Leaf City also fell, then the Sea of the Undead would become a disaster that swept the whole country through Xingzhu Avenue!

Because he didn't know what to do, Jian Ling had no choice but to choose Ze to participate in this meeting, and at this time, he could only act with the decisions made by these officials.

"Okay, no need to argue. The man sitting in the first place suddenly stood up, it was a majestic middle-aged man, dressed in simple armor, with a tiger's waist and a bear's back, and he looked full of majesty.

Everyone shut up, and it was strange to say that they were blushing and thick-necked from arguing one second, but this second they all lowered their heads and listened to the teachings quietly.

"Reinforcements from the Eastern Legion have arrived, and they will defend the city for three days and withdraw after three days. In the past three days, we will do our best to guide the evacuation of the people!" the man shouted in a deep voice.

Everyone immediately gave a non-standard military salute and said, "Yes, General." ”

This is the current general of the Southern Legion, [Imperial Shield] Zhao Muyang. At present, in the entire southern territory, except for the lord of the southern governor's mansion, he is the most powerful person. No one will fail to obey the orders of the old general.

"At the same time, during these three days, always pay attention to the changes in the Sea of the Undead, and evacuate immediately if the pressure is too high. ”

"Yes. ”

This is a compromise.

"General. Suddenly, someone stood up, it was Chu Qiu, he was specially allowed to participate in this meeting, otherwise with his status as the son of the Hanzhu City family, he would not be able to participate in this meeting at all.

General Zhao was stunned, he vaguely remembered that this young man was a little familiar... Oh, I think about it, it's the remote place in Hanzhu City, the only talent who can see it, and I remember that his military talent is very good.

"In just three days, there weren't many hits to evacuate... The average person walks too slowly, and in order to avoid chaos, the evacuation will be inefficient... We can think differently. A halo of wisdom flashed in Chu Qiu's eyes.

“... Tell me about your approach. General Zhao said with interest.

"Every big city has underground shelters... We can use these underground shelters to shelter more civilians, and in the course of previous battles with the undead, we found low-level undead such as skeletons, zombies... Even the Abomination and Resentful Spirits rely on sensing the breath of the living to act, and we can set up a magic circle in the shelter to hide the breath... This minimizes losses. Chu Qiu said calmly, even in the face of General Zhao's majesty, he still did not panic at all.

"Low-level undead do not have a mind, as long as they hide their breath, they can fool them, but the operation of the magic array is accompanied by magic fluctuations, and sheltering a large shelter requires a magic array that is extremely cumbersome, and the magic fluctuations caused can even be seen with the naked eye... Even if you can hide from the low-level undead, those higher-level undead already use a considerable part of their wisdom..."An old man sitting on the lower left hand of General Zhao suddenly said, he was wearing a brand new mage robe.

"We can use the Stored Crystals to cause a magical explosion all over the city. Chu Qiu said.

“... Energy storage crystals?" The old mage was stunned, but he knew that the invention of the second sage, the appearance of the energy storage crystal, had paved the way for the popularization of civil magic artifacts such as star lanterns later.

Before the energy storage crystal, magicians have also pursued many energy storage props or substances, but the greater the energy of a system, the more unstable the system itself is... An unstable energy storage device is a ticking time bomb...

While the energy storage crystal stored a large amount of magic power but was extremely stable, the Second Sage completed this seemingly impossible task with a very simple combination of magic arrays.

Of course, the stability of the energy storage crystal is also relative, extreme [high temperature], extremely violent [impact], etc. may cause the energy of the energy storage crystal to lose control, so that the energy storage crystal will be transformed into an extremely terrifying bomb... However, the conditions are quite harsh, and it is almost impossible to detonate the energy storage crystal in daily life, so the energy storage crystal can be used to the extent of large-scale civil use.

By artificially detonating a large number of energy storage crystals, the magic power of the riot will form a phenomenon of [Chaos Mana Tide] in the city, which can interfere with the magic fluctuations caused by the operation of the Vault's magic array to the greatest extent possible by the enemy.

"I've roughly calculated that half of the amount of energy storage crystals we detonate can cause a ten-day [Chaos Mana Tide], and if we can't counterattack and regain lost ground within the next ten days... Rather, the so-called refuge will become a real hell. The old mage sighed lightly, "As for detonating all the energy storage crystals... This is almost impossible, not to mention that the overly powerful [Chaos Magic Tide] will affect the operation of the magic array, and many facilities in my army need energy storage crystals as an energy source... Half of the detonation is the maximum. ”

"Then there is another question, General, do you think we can complete the counteroffensive and regain the lost territory in the next ten days?" Chu Qiu's gaze suddenly looked at General Zhao in the first place, his eyes were blazing, and his words were sonorous and powerful.

“... I do not know. General Zhao looked at Chu Qiu's expectant eyes and suddenly sighed. "In the face of such a terrifying sea of the undead, no one dares to be completely sure... However, in three days' time, we will have a better chance of victory when we join up with reinforcements from the Imperial Capital and the Western Legion. General Zhao's expression immediately changed, "Then order, starting from Fallen Leaf City to Frost Leaf City, a total of fifteen large cities will be established, and fifteen large shelters will be established... The population of the villages around the cities has all moved to the cities... At the same time, all kinds of materials should also be stored simultaneously..."General Zhao ordered.

Chu Qiu just got down, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, after all, the old general's own coercion was not small, and it was quite hard for him to do this.

"Good job. At the end, Sword Ling Tian suddenly smiled and said to him.

Hearing Jian Ling Tian's praise, a wry smile appeared on Chu Qiu's face. He knew very well that he had proposed the refuge plan like this, and if General Zhao did not regain the lost territory within ten days in the end... He may become a sinner, after all, the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people in the south are involved.
