In front of the first line of defense in Dongzhou, most of the billions of demon beasts have been assembled, and the demon kings led by the Kui Niu clan are also in place one after another, unlike the high-level of Dongzhou Academy, the high-level of the demon clan are more desperate, it is very difficult for them to advance, and they are not willing to work hard at will, not to mention that they still have countless low-level demon beasts as cannon fodder, so they are not in a hurry at all.

"Offense"

"Offense"

With the order of the Demon King of the Kui Niu Clan, the Demon Beasts of the Upper Wanzhi Clan informed the sixth-order Demon Kings at the forefront, and then they ordered the low-level Demon Beasts to attack.

The attack order, in front of the five big cities, there are millions of demon beasts in each row, attacking the city, and when the demon beasts enter within five kilometers, the Xuanjing cannon on the city wall begins to fire, killing the huge demon beasts one by one, and there are many that are directly exploded.

However, more of them rushed into three kilometers, the five big cities had complete defense means, and within three kilometers, they dug more than a dozen trenches more than ten meters wide, and there were sharp spears made of dark iron in them, and I don't know how many demon beasts died in the trenches.

It's a pity that these situations are also within the prediction of the demon beast army, and the first wave of attacks are some monsters with huge size and a large number of races, such as pigs, sheep and cattle, which are used as cannon fodder.

It wasn't until these monsters had leveled the trench with their bodies that the main force began to play, this time it was some of the more ferocious beast teams, such as wolves, bears, tigers and leopards.

The human race and the demon race have been at war for I don't know how many years, they are very familiar with each other's attack rhythm, the Xuanjing cannon on the city wall, the god-destroying crossbow is constantly fired, and when the demon beast approaches, there are also monks flying out, killing it, and then taking away or destroying the corpse of the demon beast in it, preventing them from fighting to raise the war.

"Ancestor, it's getting dark, do you want to fight at night?"

A day passed, and in the army of demon beasts, a sixth-order intelligent demon beast said to the eighth-order Kui Niu Ancestor.

"No need, retreat, take away those corpses that died in battle, and let those demon beasts have a full meal"

"Yes, Ancestor"

Then, as bursts of beast roars sounded, the demon beast army began to retreat, taking away those demon beasts who died in battle by the way, and the scalp numbing chewing sound began to appear among the demon beast army.

"Senior brother, the demon beast has retreated"

"I know, what are the casualties today"

"How many people can die on the first day of the trial, a hundred, three or five hundred wounded"

"It's a big drain on resources"

"Yes, the Xuanjing Cannon and the God-Destroying Crossbow have shot out nearly 200 million Xuanjing, not counting the damaged magic weapons and spirit runes, the demon beasts are getting smarter and smarter, a month, who knows"

The junior brother replied, the plan of the high-level demon king is very clear to them, the number of human races is far lower than that of the demon race, but the human race has a huge advantage, that is, they can use magic weapons, all kinds of magic weapons.

Of course, there is also a weakness in the use of magic weapons, that is, money is needed, these magic weapons are bought with money, and when the demon clan attacks, it is generally sent to send cannon fodder to consume the magic weapons of the human race, and when it is almost consumed, once there is a hand-to-hand fight, the human race is not the opponent of the demon race, and they can be killed by the number alone.

"At today's strength, it can last for a few days"

"Ten days, after ten days, only Xuanjing to maintain the formation is left, and the monk must fight"

"How many mortals have withdrawn, how many flying monsters have intercepted"

"Three hundred flying boats have been transporting day and night, and three or four hundred thousand people have been evacuated, and the flying demon beasts have not yet fought today, according to the speed, they can't be withdrawn in a month, and at least one-third of the mortals have to be abandoned."

The junior brother replied, mortals are not as sharp as monks, and when evacuating, they must take with them a large number of necessities, otherwise even if they go to the rear, there will be a famine, and a large number of people will starve to death, so the evacuation speed is very slow, and the millions of people in the city want to evacuate, and not a month is not enough, and many mortals will die in every big battle.

"Let the second line of defense also start to retreat, the more north the better, vacate the position, and let the second line of defense do a good job of resource reserves, and then it must hold on for three months"

"Other academies don't know, our Xuanhuang Academy has a dean in charge, and it's already doing it, but Dongzhou's resources are still too small, all of them are accumulated in the second line of defense, and the back line of defense is gone, senior brother, it's time to suggest that the dean go to the major sects in Central Continent."

"I know, I'll write, it's just, hey, forget it, don't talk about it"

The senior brother sighed, the major sects in Central Continent are fighting their own battles, and they only care about their own interests, how can they support Dongzhou for no reason.

In the history of Dongzhou, it is not that they have not begged the major sects of Zhongzhou, but their asking price is too high, which makes Dongzhou, which has suffered heavy losses, even worse, in order to pay tribute to Zhongzhou, it will take at least a few hundred years to pay off the arrears after the war.

So after suffering a few losses, Dongzhou began to improve himself, change the original social structure, educate the people, and strive for self-improvement, this approach is usually very useful, but when the demon beast comes to attack with all its strength, it fails, and in the end I still have to ask Zhongzhou, who makes them the strongest.

One day, two days, three days, and by the fifth day, the resources of the five major cities began to run out, and the monks also needed to go out of the city to fight when they were defending, which made the casualties of the monks rise sharply.

The most dangerous thing is that on the eighth day, the demon beasts of the Zhi clan in the demon clan judged that the resources in the city had been exhausted, and attacked with all their might, and caught the monk off guard.

From the eighth day, the demon beasts began to attack day and night, twelve hours a day without stopping, not caring about casualties at all, and the walls of the five major cities are very long, originally one city of three or four hundred thousand horses is enough to guard, but now with the aggravation of casualties, even the city walls are almost unstable, how can they stop the army of demon beasts.

On the eleventh day, the defense line of Xuanhuang Academy collapsed, and the high-level began to evacuate with an army of less than 200,000 monks, and some abandoned monks and mortals were reduced to demon beast rations, and the tragedy happened again.

After dawn, the eighth-order ancestor of Kui Niu appeared in the city, and the demon beasts all over the mountains crossed the city and continued to move forward, chasing and killing the fleeing monks.

"Keep attacking, this time, we will completely drive the Terrans out of Dongzhou"

Kui Niu Ancestor laughed and said, there are countless flying demon beasts in the sky, and the city has been transporting mortals before, and they never appear, just to wait for this moment.

There was an army of demon beasts chasing behind, flying demon beasts intercepted in the sky, the evacuation boats were shot down one by one, and the monks walking on the ground were also constantly caught up and devoured, and the Dongzhou army lost tens of thousands of horses.

By the time the second line of defense arrived, Dongzhou had already lost millions of monks, which was one-twentieth of the entire Dongzhou monks, and mortals had also lost tens of millions.

The second line of defense had thirty-six cities connected in a line, and a total of more than three million monks guarded it, and the power of the human race began to condense, blocking the army of demon beasts in front of the second line of defense, and a tug-of-war began.

However, the second line of defense still made the top of Dongzhou uneasy, and the mortals of the thirty-six cities continued to retreat, and the monks in the rear continued to support forward.

And the flying demon beasts also began to attack these convoys, and the losses on the part of the human race continued to expand, and countless monks shed blood.

········

The third line of defense has also been established, the third line of defense is eighteen spiritual mountains, the lowest are fifth-order spiritual mountains, but they can't be connected into a line, the dogs and teeth are staggered, and the headquarters of the Dongzhou Alliance Army composed of the five major colleges of Dongzhou is set up in it.

The huge Dongzhou, the number of monks, and the overall strength may not be as good as that of Nanzhou, but the high-end combat power is stronger than that of Nanzhou, and the top two Tianyue Sect and Xuantianmen in Nanzhou don't know if there are any Eighth Realm monks, but there are five people in Dongzhou.

These five people are the deans of the five major academies, and there are also some vice deans of each college, and the vice deans are required to be golden-bodied monks, so as to form the social structure of Dongzhou.

At this time, the five ancestors gathered together to discuss the war on the front line, so far, it is all bad news, the human race retreated 20,000 miles, killed millions of monks in battle, and lost nearly hundreds of millions of mortals, but the loss of the demon beast army was less than 50 million, and none of the demon kings above the sixth order died, and all the dead were cannon fodder.

"The major forces in Dongzhou plus scattered cultivation, there are about 30 million, about 20 million people who can be mobilized by us, and now there are more than 1 million casualties, and the situation can still be controlled, but what we are worried about is the problem of resources, and now all the accumulation of hundreds of years in Dongzhou has been taken out, but it can't last long, let's discuss, what to do?"

"What else can I do, it's not that I haven't fought a big war, the hundreds of minerals in the rear of Dongzhou are fully excavated, and those mortals can't live in vain, the young and strong are all transferred over, the teachers and students in the Dan Fu Array Hall in the five academies are fully producing, and the loot on the front line is brought back as much as possible, and those that can be refined can be refined, and those that can't be refined are sent to Zhongzhou to trade."

"But it's still not enough, what we lack most now is high-level monks, there are so many divine void periods and golden body stages in Middle-earth, it's really a waste to put them over there."

"Do you think it's a waste of people to give it to you, and they haven't offered a price, and you can afford it from Rihua Academy?"

"What are you arguing about at this time, Dongzhou affairs, Dongzhou, we Dongzhou people are not dead yet, the big deal is to fight with demon beasts"

"Okay, don't make any noise, just do it according to the old rules"

The five of them shook their heads, at their age, they don't know how many times they have fought in the big war, they all know how to do it, the masters of the Dan Fu Array have not been on the battlefield much, they are all in the rear for emergency production, the demon beast materials captured on the front line are also being transported back, and the major minerals are digging hard.

But Dongzhou's strength is still too weak, and the Dan Fu Array can't support consumption at all by relying on their own people and horses, and now it's all supported by inventory, but where can the inventory support this consumption.

Three days later, eight flying boats flew from the second front line, loaded with seriously wounded and captures from the front line, and there were hundreds of thousands of storage bags alone.

Eight flying boats fell in the third line of defense, laid down the seriously wounded, and then flew straight to Zhongzhou, and the above captures all need to be traded in Zhongzhou, and the five major academies all have businesses in Zhongzhou.

Before that, the monks of Dongzhou in Zhongzhou had already discovered the strength of the city businesses under the command of the various sects in Zhongzhou, and began to contact the treasurers of the major merchants to discuss the transaction.
