Chapter 1795: Cooking Without Rice
Lu Yi watched his newly made friends leave, and he didn't stay anymore, it was time for Hui Le Yao to preside over the overall situation, and the battle of wits and courage between the two sides in the early stage was basically over at this time, and next, the battle between humans and demons in the sinkhole was about to really begin.
Soon, new rumors began to spread all over the sky, saying that the sinkhole was a stronghold specially laid out by the demons back then, and there were many ancient family forces loyal to the demons in it, and they had been hiding their identities and lurking, just waiting for the right time to join the demons. Those large demon cultivators who have fallen to the demon clan have this suspicion, and they are very cooperative with the demon clan's step-by-step actions, the purpose is to use it to deceive the vast number of human cultivators and make everyone believe in the propaganda of the demon race. These rumors came out from different regions, and the words were conclusive, just as the two major demon cultivation forces had recently announced that they had fallen to the side of the demon clan, and they were both old Tiankeng forces, so these rumors attracted the attention of people with good intentions. Immediately afterwards, not only this rumor began to spread, but another theory began to circulate among the loose cultivators in the sinkhole, saying that the demons and their vassals looked down on the scattered cultivators at all, and if the scattered cultivators joined them, they would only be regarded as the most unpopular cannon fodder, and if the majority of scattered cultivators wanted to protect themselves in the troubled times in the future, they must take refuge in conscientious forces like Le Xiaoyao who are dedicated to the sake of the human race to fight against the demons.
The two rumors, one bright and one dark, were like two rapids, quickly sweeping the entire sinkhole, almost accompanied by the news that the two major demon cultivation forces had joined the demon clan and spread simultaneously, this time, the monks in the sinkhole were completely confused, and they really didn't know which party's statement to believe.
Lu Yi soon returned to Fengyang City, this time he returned to his original appearance, and then Lu Yi sent a summons to the Dragon and Tiger Shuangshan, informing them that the so-called elimination of the hidden dangers of the demon clan was a delaying tactic, they did have some means, but they certainly could not be done casually, and there could be no magic prescription for all diseases, and the plan discussed by the two sides before seemed to be feasible now. Lu Yi asked the Dragon and Tiger Shuangshan side if they had found out the details of the five families, and figured out why they didn't agree to join forces with Le Xiaoyao? Then he sent a summons to Yanghuo Zhenren and the others to inform him that he had returned to Fengyang City.
The first thing Lu Yi did after coming to Fengyang City was to gather the remaining monks in Fengyang City for defense, because Jiema Village, one of the two forces that had just joined the Demon Clan, was less than 20,000 miles away from Fengyang City, and he was on the border with Le Xiaoyao. Le Xiaoyao's current main force all went to the vicinity of Dragon and Tiger Twin Mountains to participate in that plan, and the remaining force was not strong, if the other party took advantage of Le Xiaoyao's air defense to sneak attack, it would soon hit Fengyang City. As we all know, Fengyang City is the nest of Le Xiaoyao, if even Fengyang City is lost, then Le Xiaoyao will lose adults, what else are you talking about provoking the banner against the demons?
Lu Yi's parents and other relatives are living in Lingshuang City at the moment, they did not go out with the army of Le Yao, Lingshuang City is in the rear of Fengyang City, as long as Fengyang City is not lost, Lingshuang City is safe, Lu Yi informed them, let them take more precautions there, and when Lu Yi finishes arranging the defense of Fengyang City, he will go to join them.
After explaining these things, Lu Yi ordered Le Xiaoyao to stay in Fengyang City, the only seventh-order late-stage monk, to report to him the situation of Le Xiaoyao's troops left behind in Fengyang City and some important passes around it, and learned that from Fengyang City to the border with Jiema Village, there were a total of five slightly larger towns and thirteen small passes. Each town has 500 garrisons, including one seventh-order monk, twenty sixth-order monks, one hundred fifth-order monks, and the rest are fourth-order and below monks; This amount of troops can also maintain the daily security of an area, and if it is really not enough to encounter a war, the other party only needs to come to dozens of high-level monks of the Imperial Spirit Period to easily take these places. Although there are still some small local forces in these places with their own weapons, they have limited capabilities, and they dare not guarantee complete loyalty, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it seems that it is impossible to defend a large area, and it seems that they must think of a good way.
On the one hand, Lu Yi sent an order to strengthen the defense of various areas, and those who could open the protective array were opened, and on the other hand, he asked the chief officer of Fengyang City to find the latest topographic map and study it carefully. When encountering any changes from before, Lu Yi has to ask in detail what these changes are and what is special about them. After some comparison and judgment, Lu Yi and the few high-level executives of Le Xiaoyao barely sketched out a blueprint for a line of defense. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the current situation is grim, and it is too late to think about it in the long run.
