Chapter 312: Truce
The next day, the deafening sound of fighting reverberated over the Giant Mouth Canyon again.
The task of Firefox Village is still to garrison the mountain peak on the right, it seems that because of yesterday's defeat, the offensive team sent by the Burning Emperor City this time is obviously much stronger, with 7 Fire Ring Levels plus 60 Tinder-level warriors, and the overall strength is extremely close to Firefox Village.
After a hard battle, until the enemy finally retreated after a long time, Firefox Village counted for a while and found that nearly twenty companions had been killed in battle, and everyone's faces were suddenly stained with a layer of haze.
And with the end of the day's battle, the reserve of sandalwood rolling stones on the mountain peak was also depleted, which meant that Firefox Village no longer needed to be stationed here, but had to join the frontal battlefield.
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel a little heavier.
However, unexpectedly, early the next morning, an order was issued from Yanlong City to keep all the affiliated villages in place, and all the leaders were called for a meeting.
Lin Yingning rushed to the meeting as she said, while Lin Ze, Su Ping, Yu Yong and others stayed in the main tent, waiting in confusion.
After more than three quarters of an hour, the tent curtain was lifted, and Lin Yingning walked in with a frown.
"Chief!" "Chief!"
Su Ping and the others got up one after another to greet him, and only then did he ask, "Did Yanlong City say anything over there?"
Lin Yingning motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said: "Nie Hui wants us affiliated villages to take turns to garrison at the entrance of the canyon, if there are people from the Burning Imperial City attacking, we will repel the enemy, and we must not take the initiative to attack the rest of the time." ”
"This ......"
Su Ping and Yu Yong glanced at each other, paused, and wondered, "What does this mean?"
"yes, that's too strange, isn't it?" Guo Xiaozhi frowned for a while, "Didn't Yanlong City take the initiative to provoke the war? Why did they switch from attack to defense after only two days of fighting, didn't they plan to capture the Giant Mouth Canyon?"
Lin Yingning shook his head and said, "I don't know, many leaders at the meeting raised the same question, but Nie Hui's man was stubborn and had no intention of explaining at all, just forcefully demanding that we carry out the order." ”
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
After a long time, Su Ping sighed and said, "This is not a bad thing, at least if we turn to defense, the number of battles and casualties will also be reduced, which is also good for us." ”
That being said, if the war goes on for too long, the village is not very reassuring. Guo Xiaozhi said.
"There's no way around it. Lin Yingning shook his head and looked around at everyone, "No matter what, the order must always be carried out, according to the rotation order, it will be the turn of our village to guard the entrance of the canyon the day after tomorrow, everyone has a good rest and recuperation in the past two days." ”
"Yes!"
Everyone left the tent with a dazed and puzzled, but Lin Ze didn't care, since he had time to rest, he could just use it for cultivation.
So after returning to the tent, he turned around and devoted himself to his cultivation again.
In the next five days, the Jukou Canyon was strangely calm, Yanlong City made up its mind not to attack again, and the Burning Emperor City sent a small team to attack tentatively, but after being defeated, seeing that Yanlong City had no intention of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, he retracted to the south exit, and then he didn't know if he couldn't understand Yanlong City's intentions, and there was no movement after that.
For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate.
This eerie calm lasted for five days, and it was not until the sixth day that a warrior from Yanlong City on a lizard beast arrived at the camp in the dust, breaking the peace.
The man, sweating profusely and covered with dust, apparently drove a long way, dismounted at the gate, and after examining the tokens, entered the camp, and ran all the way to the main tent in the middle of the camp.
At the same time, someone had already hurried to inform the camp's principals.
The man who reported the news waited in the tent for a while, heard the sound of footsteps, and looked back, and saw an old man with frosty white sideburns, but his skin was firm, and his eyes were sharp, and he opened the curtain and walked in.
"Is there news from the River Drum Plain?"
As soon as he entered the tent, before he could sit down behind the table, the old man asked neatly, showing a vigorous and resolute style.
"Lord Nie Hui!"
The man who reported the news hurriedly bowed down and replied respectfully, before replying, "Yes, our army has won a complete victory in the River Drum Plain, has already routed the army of the Burning Imperial City, and is now marching towards the hinterland of the Burning Imperial City!"
Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Nie Hui's eyes, and he nodded happily: "Okay, it's not in vain that we have been preparing for so long, and this time we finally broke through the defense line of the Hegu Plain!"
Yanlong City and Liehuang City have also had many battles in the past, and they can be regarded as winning and losing each other, but none of them have been able to break through the defense line arranged by Liehuang City in the River Drum Plain, but now they can achieve their strategic goals in one fell swoop, which is undoubtedly a surprising good news.
After a few breaths, Nie Hui calmed down his excitement, glanced at the man who reported the news, and asked in a deep voice, "What else does Deacon Zhang Jingxuan have to say over there?"
"Lord Zhang Jingxuan, please be sure to hold back the defenders of the Burning Imperial City in the Giant Mouth Canyon, so that they will not be able to return to help. ”
Hearing this, Nie Hui groaned, "Are you holding back the defenders...... Once they know the news that the Hegu Plain has been lost and the Liehuang City is facing the threat of a large army, the defenders of the canyon will definitely do whatever it takes to return reinforcements, and it will not be easy to hold back the other party in this situation. ”
If you want to hold back the Burning Imperial City army that is eager to come back, there is no doubt that you will be attacked very violently, and it is indeed difficult to complete this task with the current strength of the camp.
The man who reported the message said: "Lord Zhang Jingxuan said, please hold the other party for at least three days." ”
"Three days...... I see, go down and rest. ”
After pondering for a moment, Nie Hui nodded lightly and waved his hand.
The man bowed again before turning to leave the tent.
Silence returned to the tent, and Nie Hui stood in place, his face changing uncertainly for a long time before he shouted in a deep voice: "Someone." ”
......
Click!
The sound of shattering sounded suddenly, and Lin Ze looked down and found that the fire source stone in his hand had turned into powder.
"The last one. He sighed softly.
The more than 600 fire source stones brought by this trip have all been consumed, originally according to his expectations, in the interval between the war, more than 600 fire source stones should be enough to be used until the end of the war, but he didn't expect that after only two days of fighting, the battle was strangely stopped, so that he had been cultivating for the past five days, and the fire source stones were consumed extremely quickly.
"I wonder when this battle will end?"
If he could, Lin Ze didn't like wasting time on needless waiting.
However, as soon as this thought came to him, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the sound of hurried footsteps was incessant.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Ze was about to get up, when he saw Guo Xiaozhi running in in a hurry.
"Lin Ze, get ready, it's going to be war again!"
