Chapter 426: Qiaotou Mountain
"Luo Daoyou, He Daoyou, this is the Lingshan that our martial arts country has conquered in the past twenty or thirty years, and we named it Qiaotou Mountain, which means that it is a bridgehead for opening up the wilderness.
This mountain is a natural third-order high-grade spiritual mountain, after being occupied by us, after cultivating, it was easily cultivated to the fourth-order lower grade, and now the fortress on Qiaotou Mountain has been completed, and this whole piece of land is being taken down within a radius of more than 800 miles..."
In the wilderness buffer zone, Lin Xiao, Luo Mingjun and He Mu stood in the sky, overlooking a high mountain below, which was the core mountain range that Nanxuan named the No. 2 mountains, and now it has been officially named Qiaotou Mountain.
Qiaotou Mountain has been taken by the Heavenly Saint Sect for more than 20 years, and at first it only occupied a small peak, built a camp on it, and hoarded supplies.
Then, under the command of Nan Xuan, for twenty years, the Terran monks repeatedly appeared near Qiaotou Mountain, emptied all the demon beasts entrenched here, crossed the road, etc., and then spent several years to build a fortress on Qiaotou Mountain and establish a reserve fortification.
After the formation of the fortress, this has become the most important stronghold of the Heavenly Saint Sect to open up the wilderness, and the monks who are active in the wilderness can come to Qiaotou Mountain without returning to the martial country to rest.
And commerce was established, and there were no merchants to settle in at the beginning, after all, this place is very close to the depths of the wilderness, as long as there is a large group of demon beasts moving, it is possible to be destroyed, and the real investment is still a few major sects headed by the Heavenly Saint Sect.
With commerce, Qiaotou Mountain has vitality, now twenty years have passed, there is no trace of demon beasts within a radius of a hundred miles of Qiaotou Mountain, all of them have been emptied, there are more and more monks around the activities, many scattered cultivators hunt demon beasts in the wilderness and no longer return to Gongming City, directly trade in Qiaotou Mountain, and then continue to hunt demon beasts.
The next step of Wuguo's plan is to relocate the monks to settle in this vicinity, with Qiaotou Mountain as the center, with a radius of more than 800 li, that is, the range of the No. 2 mountains, and take them all.
Now even the forces of relocation are ready, and within the Heavenly Saint Sect, after the continuous pressure of Nan Xuan, those mountains in the sect have softened, ready to move the family forces here and settle down completely.
Among them, the first to soften is the Bai family, whether it is Bai Xixi or Bai Zichen, they all understand Lin Xiao's thoughts, their Bai family is already very strong within the sect, if there is help outside, this is not allowed by Lin Xiao, so the Bai family will be the first family to respond to the sect's policy at that time.
Of course, Nan Xuan is not going to kill them all, on the contrary, this will be an opportunity for the Bai family to be independent and powerful, as the first family to respond to the sect's policy, Nan Xuan will give a very generous reward, not only the surrounding Lingshan will be at their disposal, but also the attack on the Lingshan sect will also help when the time comes, and help them resist the counterattack of the demon beasts.
"Master Lin, your sect has talents, you launched later than us, but the results are better than ours, organized and planned, we have to learn from you"
"Luo Daoyou, don't brag about me, this achievement is nothing, after so many years, I haven't even taken down the buffer zone"
"Haha, Master Lin, what you said is not right, this buffer zone has the beauty of a buffer zone, I think for the time being, it is more beneficial not to take it down than to take it down"
"What He Daoyou said is extremely true, the buffer zone is also beneficial, an excellent place for military training"
Lin Xiao nodded, the buffer zone was not taken down, firstly, because the Heavenly Saint Sect did not have enough financial resources, and secondly, because he didn't want to take it down, he set up a nail here, and constantly attracted demon beasts to come and send them to death, and then let the disciples take turns to fight, but it was more beneficial.
"Then let's go and see how Master Lin's training ground is"
"Two Taoist friends, please"
Lin Xiao nodded, it doesn't matter if you go down to inspect and inspect, the sect doesn't have a core secret here, and it's not afraid of exposing anything.
So Lin Xiao and others landed in Qiaotou Mountain, starting from the foot of the mountain, the foot of the mountain is now the trade market of Qiaotou Mountain, located in a valley, the valley is surrounded by cliffs, forming a gourd shape, the gourd mouth built a war fortress, the fortress built a Xuanjing cannon, the god destroying crossbow, and the two openings can form crossfire, if a military camp is set up under the mouth, it will be difficult for even tens of thousands of troops to attack at that time.
The valley is not very large, and many buildings have been built today, and there are more than a dozen merchants, but the most common ones are inns, which are used for the monks who are active in the wilderness.
Walking along the valley, you will reach the peak of Qiaotou Mountain, the peak of Qiaotou Mountain is extremely steep, and the mountain is rugged in troubled times, only a small mountain road with two people in parallel has been dug and meandered up.
Walking more than 200 meters, it is the fortress of Qiaotou Mountain, the mountain has been hollowed out, there are various facilities in it, and a large number of materials have been stored, even if the demon beast army comes to attack, the valley is broken, and the monks can also withdraw to the fortress.
Many passages in the fortress are extremely narrow, and huge monsters must not enter, and the best way to clean up the monks inside is to destroy the entire Qiaotou Mountain, but the price is even more severe.
"The mountain rocks of this bridgehead are hard, such a thick existence, even you and I may not be able to cut through it with one move, with this fortress, it is not a problem to block the army of 100,000 demon beasts. ”
"That's why I just said that there are capable people under Master Lin, the location of this Qiaotou Mountain is well chosen, and with this as a base, within fifty years, half of the buffer zone can be included in the territory of the Wu Kingdom."
"This location is indeed well chosen, the middle of the Martial Kingdom and the Savage Buffer Zone, this piece is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is a beast tide, as long as the Martial Kingdom sends 50,000 people to be stationed here, the demon beast army will not dare to invade the Martial Kingdom easily, otherwise it will be easy to be cut off."
"Two of you, here you are again, can you stop talking about it, Lin is going to blush"
"Master Lin, it's not like we're killing us, it's true that you're doing a good job, I'll send a few disciples over to study after I go back, there's no problem."
"Of course, no problem, welcome"
"Then I, the Qianluo country, will also send a few people, and I can't fall behind."
"Okay, come on, by the way, you're all praising me, what's going on over there?"
Lin Xiao replied, these two people praised him desperately, Lin Xiao didn't know what happened to the two of them, and to what extent the wilderness strategy had been implemented.
"Ahem, I'm not afraid of Master Lin's jokes, we don't dare to use troops on a large scale, for fear of angering the purple-eyed demon king, so we have always sent small troops to harass, although we have killed hundreds of thousands of demon beasts in the past twenty or thirty years, we can't gain a foothold in the wilderness, and we are still mainly loitering."
"That's not bad, it weakens the strength of the Purple-Eyed Demon King"
Lin Xiao replied, but it was really difficult to evaluate in his heart, don't look at them saying that they had hunted hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, but most of them were first- and second-order low-level demon beasts, this kind of demon beasts were cannon fodder in the eyes of the purple-eyed demon king, and it was extremely easy to recover, it was definitely the kind with the highest fertility rate, maybe they didn't kill as fast as others.
"Master Lin don't laugh at us, in fact, we also know that we don't kill as many demon beasts, the best way is to emigrate, move mortals and monks to the wilderness, and squeeze the living space of demon beasts, so that we can completely occupy the wilderness, but the monks in our two countries do not have the courage, relying on our two sects to execute, the speed is really slow"
He Mu said slowly, as a monk who controls a country, their level and vision will not be bad, knowing that this method of the Wu Kingdom is the most correct, but among the two of them, it is difficult to replicate this practice.
Because their domestic situation is the same as that of other countries, it is completely dominated by the hegemonic sect, and the interests of one country, the hegemonic sect accounts for more than one-third, and the rest of the forces are all vassals.
It is very difficult to let those vassals throw their heads, spill their blood, and spill their blood, without enough pressure or interests, they are very slippery in their ability to serve and disobey yin, and small forces will not easily obey this kind of order, because they can't afford to sacrifice, there are just such a few people in total, if they die, no matter how big the reward and support of the overlord sect is, it will be a loss.
Then the two of them do it themselves, that's not good, the reason why they became the overlord sect is because they have absolute strength to suppress the rest of the forces, if they lose too much, then the rest of the forces are not so obedient, so in the past twenty or thirty years, they can be said to be petty fights.
Lin Xiao also understands this truth, and once again admires the approach of the Danyang Sect back then, binding the sects with interests, and dealing with things fairly, Lin Xiao inherited his will and practice, and now he can also mobilize most of the strength of the Wu Kingdom, so as not to let the Tiansheng Sect family fight alone here.
"Two fellow Daoists, even if you say that, what you should do is still to be done, when the time comes, only if the three of us work together, we can win the purple-eyed demon king, otherwise relying on my martial arts family, it won't work, so this matter of relocating mortals and monks has to be stepped up."
Lin Xiao replied, the purple-eyed demon king can mobilize tens of millions of demon clans to participate in the war in the wilderness, if he can bear half of it with the strength of the martial country, it can be regarded as burning high incense, and many countries must act together, and when the time comes, the three kingdoms can mobilize millions of monks, and only then can they have the ability to compete with the purple-eyed demon king.
"Master Lin, we understand, so this time it depends on how many Lingming Pills Master Lin can bring us, if our sect produces a few more Lingguang monks, it will definitely not be able to support it with the existing financial resources at that time, so expansion is inevitable, and when the time comes, we can take the opportunity to put forward a barbaric strategy, and the Lingming Pill that we can't use up can be used to lure the rest of the forces to participate."
"Luo Daoyou, rest assured, what I promised at the beginning will definitely not break my promise, and it won't be long before news comes."
Lin Xiao nodded, this is also the reason why they are so interested in Lingming Dan, not long ago, Luo Mingjun had already gathered enough materials for Lingming Dan and sent it, Lin Xiao asked the night owl to send it to Xuanyue City through the channel, and it won't be long before there will be news from Li Muxue's side.
