Beside the abyss of the Far North, the howling cold wind did not appear again after the old priest fell.

In a few days, King Tidi also came here, only a few hurried guards followed him, and the original protectors, after whispering a few words to Tiref the Tidi King, turned their heads to look at their own guards.

"You're waiting here."

Tirev followed the Dharma Protector to the side of the abyss, and the old priest lay quietly on the ground like a withered tree.

"The death of several prophets and old priests is really too unexpected for my Tidi clan, the Northern Expeditionary Army, I have tried to shrink as much as possible, but I don't know..."

In the face of those who had been advocating an attack before, and conspiring with the king of Beichang, it was also the old priest.

But now that the old priest has died suddenly, most of the plans that have been planned for a long time will be abandoned halfway.

Several Dharma protectors glanced at each other, and the black robe enveloped several people in them, which has always been the rule.

After the death of each old priest, a new priest is born from among the prophets who follow him, and this birth requires a process.

It's just that because the old priest has been in power for so long, these Dharma protectors didn't expect the old priest to pass away suddenly.

And the ancient rule of the clan is that after the death of the old priest, they must completely wrap themselves in black robes, and they will not be able to shed the black robes until a new priest is born from among them.

A leisurely voice came from the black robe of one of them: "Your Majesty, I will wait for some time before Heaven will give us an answer, during this time, in order not to be noticed by other clans, all actions, please also ask His Majesty the King to delay and postpone the main thing." ”

Hearing this, Tilev saluted, saying that he remembered that this was a time of life and death for the clan.

The most important thing at the moment, of course, Tilev understands that even if the deal with the King of Beichang fails, it is only a matter of a few cities, but if these foreigners are to detect that the old priest is gone, then the entire Tidi tribe may really face the possibility of extinction.

After all, the Sage Treaty is only limited to the Sage, when the Sage in which race is now withered.

I'm afraid that in the next second, the rest of the masters in the clan will be slaughtered by the sages of other races, directly cutting off the chance for the birth of a new sage of this race.

Thinking of this, Tilev was already in a cold sweat, where did he dare to think backwards.

Now Tiref had saluted and turned away, and heard a message from several prophets in the palace that the old priest had been informed.

He had just hurried to the end of the night, and when he saw everything in front of him, he immediately understood in his heart that the prophets had prevented the news of the old priest's death from being exposed.

"We also have to find a no-man's land, and when a new sacrifice appears, it will naturally give the king a new sense of godship."

After saying these words, the prophets stepped on a thick gray breath, wrapped up the corpse of the old priest, and disappeared with them.

Tiref bowed reverently again to the place where the group had disappeared, then turned and walked away.

It's just that when Tilev was talking to several Dharma protectors, he didn't realize that not only was there no howling cold wind in the sky, but even the abyssal Grand Canyon, which had not stopped for tens of millions of years, was as if it had stopped breathing, and it was unusually quiet.

After withdrawing from the land of King Changwu, almost half of the army of the Tidi tribe was condensed into the last five cities on the border of King Beichang.

The elite generals in the city almost represent the most sophisticated combat power of the Tidi tribe.

After a few days of temptation, Lu Jue and the others became more and more solemn in their hearts.

Those five cities were also thousands of miles away from the current Jade Guard, and according to the report of the vanguard battalion sent out, most of the army was shot with extreme precision by a large number of arrows before they could get close to the city.

Such a method is completely beyond everyone's understanding.

The Tidi tribe has always had no archers, and for such delicate things, the Tidi tribe, which has always admired brute strength, will not train any archers at all.

What's even more exaggerated is that the pioneer battalion of 3,000 people, after returning to Yushou Pass, only 1,200 people remained.

Lu Jue frowned, such a casualty ratio was by no means good news for him.

"Humph! It must have been Wei Siyuan's old fox who secretly sent additional men to help the Tidi people defend the city. ”

Xiao Han on the side snorted angrily, since he learned from Tixijie's mouth that Wei Siyuan, the king of Beichang, had been in contact with the Tidi tribe, and now he directly counted the damage to the pioneer camp on Wei Siyuan's head.

Lu Jue slowly straightened up from the table, raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose, and sighed softly.

"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, you see, these five cities, although they are not far from each other, but to support each other, it will take half a day at the earliest, the pioneer camp from Yanggu in the north of Xinjiang, to Feilongkou, until the Yanmen Mountain at the king of Jiangyuan to rest for a while, five of them, all have archers ambushed."

Although the equipment of the pioneer battalion is not as good as that of the Divine Strategy Battalion commanded by Xiao Han, it is by no means that ordinary archers can be seriously injured easily.

The most difficult thing for archers to deal with is the cavalry, and the cavalry of these vanguard battalions are all light cavalry based on temptation, and their foot strength is far several times higher than that of ordinary cavalry.

Hearing Lu Jue's analysis, everyone rethought about it, of course, even so, Wei Siyuan must have been involved, which has become a tacit fact in everyone's hearts.

"Imagine how many archers you would need to shoot at the charging cavalry along the way if you were to stay in these five cities?"

Lu Jue looked at everyone and asked.

The first person to answer Xiao Han was none other than Li Siyuan, who was born as a guard.

"Traditionally, defending a city is based on materials, the people's hearts are the center, and the enemy is wounded, if you really want to defend the city, it is impossible to let the archers shoot and kill the passing enemy troops in such a wasteful way."

Li Siyuan's face was incredulous, and he also said the strangest place here.

"If you do it like this, there are only two explanations, first, there should be so many materials in the city that they can be wasted recklessly, but at the moment, for the Tidi tribe, it is obviously a lonely city, and the Tidi tribe may not have transported supplies for a long time.

Second, they are so reckless in wasting their bows and arrows, there must be some secret that they don't want us to get close to discovering. ”

Hearing this, several people nodded one after another, but in Lu Jue's heart, they only solved half of the answer, and the other half still couldn't figure it out.

"And when the Tidi tribe has something to hide, how many archers will it take to inflict heavy damage on a light cavalry charge of 3,000 men?"

Hearing Lu Jue's question, several people fell into silence for a while.
