Chapter 667: Monster Siege
Shang Lu returned to the front-line command post with a wound.
At the beginning, there were more than 40,000 cultivators in the merchants of Donghu City, but in the first civil strife, with the addition of the puppets who were controlled and the cultivators who died to deal with the puppets, plus the people who died in the later battles, there are now less than 20,000 cultivators in the merchants of Donghu City.
After a month of fighting, more than half of the troops were reduced, and the loss rate of personnel was still rising, because there was no high-grade elixir to use, the loss of Zhenyuan could not be replenished in time, and the injuries could not be healed in time, and the result was that the casualties were getting higher and higher.

In fact, the thousands of people lost in the latter period were basically incurred in the last seven days.
"Big brother, if we continue like this, we will have no resources, and we can't give things to those mortals anymore, otherwise our monks will completely lose their combat effectiveness!" Shang He didn't know how many times he had persuaded Shang Lu. TVmobile/
But Shang Lu's answer was always the same, and he said: "Qing'er told us to treat the people well when she was still sober, otherwise once the people are in chaos, we will really be finished!
Shang He's face sank when he thought of Shui Manqing, who had been seriously injured and unconscious, and had not woken up until now, in a big battle three days ago, Shui Manqing was seriously injured and fell into a coma in order to save Shang Zhen, and later Shang Zhen was also seriously injured in order to save Liu Piaoxu.
These days, they're basically trading their lives for time.
"But if we all die, then all these people will also die, and the ending will be the same!" Shang He said in a deep voice.
Shang Lu raised his eyelids and looked at his younger brother, and said, "Do you want to treat the people as consumables to win victory like those evil cultivators?"
Shang He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that!"
Shang Lu's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Do you remember how your father and the elders died? Do you remember what the sect master died for?
Shang He immediately denied it loudly, and said, "Big brother, how can you look at me like this? How can I be such a person? I just said that we can't give the people unlimited things, even if it's a little restrictive, otherwise our monks won't be able to hold on, and someone has to fight!"
After Shang Lu took a deep breath, he said: "I'm sorry I'm excited, I will consider what you said, but you must also take into account people's hearts, even if most people are reasonable, there will inevitably be some people who will rise to the edge of the rice, we have to guard against it!"
Shang He couldn't help but laugh after being stunned for a moment, and said: "Senior Brother Fang often has a sentence on his lips, fools and fools often exist in the world, it is useless to reason with them, only tangible benefits are the only pass!"
Shang Lu also smiled a little when he thought of Fang Zhen, and said, "But don't forget that the second half of Brother Fang's sentence is 'There are foolish men and foolish women, but there have never been foolish people, as long as you treat them sincerely, they will eventually stand on your side'!"
Shang He nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I don't know when Senior Brother Fang's side will be able to come over!"
Shang Lu shook his head and said, "I don't want him to come to support, with his temperament, once he knows the situation here, he will definitely come here, even if he doesn't have enough strength, then it may ruin the last bit of hope for our Beizhou!"
Shang He was surprised by Fang Zhen and said with confidence: "Since Senior Brother Fang didn't come at the first time, then Junior Brother thinks that he will definitely come after making some preparations, and I believe that he will definitely bring us miracles after he comes, just like the things he did before!"
Shang Lu glanced at his younger brother and laughed, and said, "When you first met Brother Fang, you were quite unconvinced by him, but now you believe that he can bring miracles?"
"Seeing is believing, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have said that the younger brother has also fought side by side with him, if you can't see it clearly, it will be stupid!" Shang Dao.
The two brothers were adjusting their state while talking, and a maid on the side was trying to bandage Shang Lu's wounds, when suddenly an explosion sounded.
The two brothers suddenly got up at the same time, and their eyes were turned in the direction of the front line.
When Sumeru saw a yellow shadow rushing towards him, he stopped in front of the two of them, and it was a scout (chìhòu) disciple who was waiting on the front line, and said, "Senior brother, those monsters have appeared again!"
Brother Shang's face changed, Shang Lu immediately picked up his halberd and was about to go out, but was stopped by Shang He, and said, "Big brother, your injuries have not stabilized, let the younger brother go!"
Shang Lu shook his head and said, "No, if those monsters appear, even if I can't fight, I must go to the front line, don't talk nonsense, leave immediately!"
Shang He didn't say anything more, and immediately followed Shang Lu to the front line.
When the two brothers arrived at the front line, they saw that the battle was already raging here, and a group of extremely disgusting monsters were storming the city's defenses.
These monsters are extremely crazy and profane, their appearance is almost not repeated, all of them are indescribable, some resemble swollen balls of flesh, some resemble threads tangled by countless tentacles, and some resemble corpses full of hands and feet after being skinned.
The only thing these monsters have in common is that their bodies are spewing black filthy aura, and cultivators will be affected even if they are even close to them, and cultivators who are not strong enough will become in a trance or even break down in a frenzy.
Although the number of these monsters is no more than a thousand, the damage they cause is more terrifying than a charge of thousands of enemies.
What's even more terrifying is that these monsters are all transformed from those people after the evil cultivators sacrificed to the people.
When the first time the cultivators held a sacrifice ceremony before the battlefield and created hundreds of such monsters, it almost caused the morale of the merchants to collapse directly.
Although it seems that the evil cultivators can't use monsters to attack the city all the time, every time a monster appears, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties.
Shui Cranberry was seriously injured during the last monster siege.,The attack of these monsters has a soul attack.,Water Cranberry was involved in the self-explosion of a monster in order to save Shang Zhen.,The soul was seriously injured.,So I'm still unconscious.。
Four days later, the monsters reappeared, and the number exceeded 1,000 than ever before.
"Immediately organize a counterattack, activate the war spirit weapon for me to blast these monsters back, and inform Zhen'er to open the war fairy weapon, we must use the power of that thing!" Shang Lu gave the order without any hesitation.
Shang He nodded, turned around and gave the order.
Shang Lu took a deep breath and was about to step forward, but suddenly felt something strange around him, so when he looked back, he found that Xue Shenggu didn't know when he appeared beside him.
"Elder Xue, your injury!" Shang Lu said in a low voice.
Xue Shenggu shook her head and said, "We're all injured, and you're here, aren't you?" Her voice was soft, and her gaze kept to the front line, as if she was looking for something.
Shang Lu was stunned for a moment and then understood, his face became extremely ugly, he followed Xue Shenggu's gaze, and sure enough, he saw a figure in the group of monsters.
