c_t; That night, the spacious hall of the Cangshan Fortress City Guard Mansion was brightly lit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (')

Dozens of monks from the Shushan faction and the Dian Kingdom above the crystallization stage gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

These monks are the main cadres of the four major legions of the Shushan faction, and the existing top forces of the Dian Kingdom can be said to have gathered the strongest group of core high-level monks in the city at present.

A crisp and pleasant female voice sounded at this time: "Every day that the Great Array of City Protectors is maintained, it will consume 50,000 spirit stones. This is not counting the spirit stones needed to repair the formation and fill the gap in the light curtain, plus these loss parts, in the past half a month, more than one million spirit stones have been consumed. ”

"However, this is actually not too worrying, after all, we have to stuff the underground is a spirit stone mine, which can be replenished at any time. It's just that the few late-stage crystallization cultivators who maintain the eye of the formation are almost unable to hold on. The elixir used to restore their spiritual power was also running out. ”

"But the requirements for maintaining the array eye are very high, and it must be a monk above the late stage of crystallization. It would be easier if monks in the middle and early stages of crystallization could also participate...... It's a pity: the truth is so cruel! Once the array can't function properly, the big protective array will disappear. And without the protection of the moat, with our existing men, it is very difficult to hold the Cangshan Fortress......"

It was naturally Su Nian who presided over the meeting, and her beautiful pretty face also had a sad face, and she asked the monks present: "I don't know what you Taoist friends and teachers and nephews think about the next battle?"

Most of the people present frowned, shook their heads, or were silent, not optimistic about this battle. And those monks in the early stage of crystallization were so nervous that they didn't dare to say anything, if it weren't for the more than ten senior brothers and sisters in the late stage of crystallization to maintain the formation of the city protection array, it would not be their turn to participate in this kind of high-level meeting.

In fact, now that Su Nian and the others have discussed with Zhao Ming and the others, they have made every effort to shrink their forces and shorten the battle line. He abandoned the stone towers outside the city and withdrew all the men and horses into the city.

They fought hard to keep the Cangshan Fortress, which was vital to both sides, before reinforcements arrived. After all, there is a huge spirit stone mine below, and its strategic position is very important.

It's just that now because of the desperate bets of the eight tribes of the Southern Barbarians, the battle situation is very unfavorable to them. After all, people are close to each other, and they are pouring out of the nest, and it is much easier to mobilize people than them.

Zhao Ming asked Su Nian at this time: "Lord Su Feng, didn't Ding Daoyou bring some monks from the Dian Kingdom to attack a few spirit stone mines of the Southern Barbarian Clan in other places? It stands to reason that after the chief of the Southern Barbarian Clan received the news that the few remaining spirit stone mines in his hands had been attacked, he would definitely send people back to help. In this way, our pressure will be greatly reduced, and this Cangshan fortress should be able to hold it. ”

Su Nian listened, but shook his head and said: "Having said that, judging from the situation in the past few days, the number of attackers on the other side has not decreased, and from the mouth of a Southern Barbarian monk that we finally captured today, we also learned that his tribe has never received a notice that other places need support. I guess either the news hasn't been sent back yet, or Ding Daoyou and their sneak attack failed. ”

As soon as Su Nian said this, everyone's expressions couldn't help but become solemn.

Su Nian pondered for a moment, Fang Xiu's eyebrows frowned, and he sighed: "Three elders, it seems that Ding Daoyou's side may not be able to count on it. We're going to have to be ready to go it alone......"

"Then what is the best way for Lord Su Feng to deal with our current crisis?" Lu Chuan asked with his hands behind his back and looking at Su Nian with eager eyes.

"Judging from the current situation, it is not without flaws that the Southern Barbarian monks have used to bombard our city protection array by casting group amplification spells so frequently. I reckon that their monks must have been very tired. Judging from the current number of Southern Barbarian monks outside the city, they did not divide their troops to rescue other places. This shows that the Great Chief must be planning to do his best to take the Cangshan Fortress. I want to wait until we are defeated, and then divide our troops to help other places, and finally occupy the entire Dian Kingdom. Su Nian analyzed expectantly.

"Well, this is indeed very possible!, so in the opinion of Lord Yi Sufeng, what strategy should we adopt?" Song Wenxue asked in a Ning voice.

Su Niandai frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Of course, our Shushan faction wants the Southern Barbarian Clan to attack those spirit stone mines around Cangshan Mountain. Because these mines are numerous and scattered. They had to divide into many squads to attack. This will take a long time, and the loss of personnel will not be reduced...... It's just that now it's obvious that the Great Chief must have also seen this, so they will ignore the spirit stone caves on the periphery and storm our Cangshan Fortress as soon as they come up. ”

"He knows very well in his heart that as long as the Cangshan Fortress is captured, then our Shushan faction will also be defeated, and after the main force is defeated, it will not be easy for them to conquer the rest of the mines? Hmph, we are not as good as they wish! This time our Shushan faction will give them the opposite!"

"Oh, how did you do the opposite?" When everyone in the Shushan faction heard this, they were all excited.

"My plan is: abandon Cangshan Fortress!" Su Nian said out loud a method that surprised everyone.

"What, give up Cangshan Fortress?" Song Wenxue took the lead in asking: "Lord Sufeng, what do you think? The spirit stone mine on this Cangshan fortress accounts for more than half of the spirit stone mine in the entire Cangshan Mountain Range. It is enough for our Shushan faction to use it for hundreds of years, and after giving it up, the source of the spirit stones of our Shushan faction will become a big problem. And the blow to morale is even heavier! I'm afraid that it will be a complete defeat!"

Although these spirit stone mines were originally mined by the monks of the Dian Kingdom, the Shushan faction has already regarded itself as the protector of the Dian Kingdom, and has taken away Sancheng spirit stones as protection fees. The spiritual stone mine of the Dian Kingdom is also one of the important sources of spiritual stones of the Shushan School.

"Hehe, Elder Song doesn't need to panic. Think about it, if you were the Great Chief, what would you do after taking the Cangshan Fortress?" Su Nian did not explain her plan, but asked Song Wenxue first.

"I want to see it. Song Wenxue pondered for a moment and said: "If I were the Great Chief, after taking the Cangshan Fortress, I would definitely send troops to sweep away the mines controlled by the various immortal families of the Dian Kingdom on the periphery of the Cangshan Mountain Range, so as to take the entire Cangshan Mountain Range area in one fell swoop and occupy all the spirit stone mines." ”

"Well, that's good. If I were the Great Chief, I would do the same. But Elder Song, what do you think is the chance of winning by attacking the mines on the outskirts of the Cangshan Mountain Range?" Su Nian asked with a smile.

"If our Shushan faction has already failed miserably, it will definitely be easy and pleasant for the Southern Barbarian Clan. Those small sects and Xiuxian families of the Dian Kingdom have no leader, and they are fighting their own battles. In the face of the Southern Barbarian monks whose strength was far stronger than their own, they would definitely be defeated on all fronts. Song Wenxue replied without thinking.

"Hehe, that's good, but what if we take the lead in commanding the battle?" Su Nian asked with a smile.
