Chapter 276: External Forces
Three days in a row. Twelve cities were infested with insect infestations. The casualties were quite heavy.
The people in the inner city were terrified. All shops are closed. Many grain merchants even sit on the ground and raise prices. There were a number of looting incidents. The scene was chaotic. If it weren't for the Military God Mansion to come forward to regulate it. The consequences are unimaginable.
At this moment. The twelve commanders gathered in the palace of the god of war. Discuss how to deal with it. It's a pity to think about it. There is no better way.
"The First Army God. How long can the moat array last? ”
I heard Hu Lie ask. Several military gods looked at each other. A sad face.
The First Army God sighed heavily and said, "I can probably hold out for two or three days." There are not many Xuanshi reserves in the Military God Mansion. Last time I fought with Chen Guo. It cost a lot. Then, in order to support the passage of the Quartet to return to the ruins...... I didn't expect this insect tide to come so suddenly. Fortunately, the individual strength of those demon-loving insects is weaker. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even think about holding on for a day. ”
Because there are twelve cadres and a large array to guard. The pressure on the city walls was slightly reduced. But this is not a lasting solution at all.
The third army god also said: "Now is the plan for the present." It can only be delayed for a while. However, we reported it to the Zhennan Palace. It is believed that reinforcements will arrive soon. ”
"What if the gods of war can't get reinforcements in time? ”
Hu Lie suddenly asked. He had personally experienced the horror of the insect tide. There's no fluke mentality.
These words stopped several military gods. They are indeed too idealistic. But they really couldn't do it better. Do you want to abandon the city and go away? Not to mention that this is their foundation. There are so many people living here. Even if it's migration. And how far can they escape. Where to flee.
"What the tiger marshal said is right. We cannot pin all our hopes on a single shot. ”
Long Dashuai also opened his mouth and said, "So Long proposed." The Twelve Cities must mobilize the people of the whole city. Be part of the battle...... Young, able-bodied men are required to serve on the front lines. And collect dark stones from merchants. to supply the operation of the moat. After all, the Twelve Cities are also their homeland. Now that he has been sheltered. You should pay something. ”
"I agree with Long Dashuai's suggestion. ”
Situ Dashuai was the first to echo. Many commanders also nodded in agreement.
Hu Lie hesitated. Finally, he nodded. However, he put forward his own ideas: "Hu also thinks that Long Dashuai's idea is feasible. But we have to consider whether popular will is available. If mandatory. Many people are afraid that they will flee in desperation. On the contrary, it will damage the momentum. In addition, when collecting stones. There also needs to be moderation. You can't rob the merchant of your finances. and it shall be borrowed from them. Give it back to them when the war is over. And. We need to set an example. All the young disciples must go into battle to kill the enemy. Some of the remaining gemstones also need to be donated. ”
“......”
Heard what Hu Lie said. Many people looked at each other. The look was rather ugly.
They've thought about getting others involved. Let others contribute. But I never thought I was like this. After all, they themselves have to be involved in the front-line battles. Although not everyone participates. But there will also be sacrifices.
The younger generation is the foundation of the military government in the future. And a large number of dark stones are the guarantee for the development of the military government. Both of these things are hard to put down.
Gou Dashuai said angrily: "Tiger Dashuai." You're talking lightweight. Who doesn't know that you Humen is a young only son. There is no need to go into battle to kill enemies. Now say something like that. Isn't it that standing and talking doesn't hurt your back? ”
"Who said that the babies of Humen will not fight. ”
Hu Liemu said with a calm expression: "The people of Humen do not have a bad seed. My Hulie's son is not even a coward. Yesterday I had already asked the little tiger to send the little tiger to the city wall. The war is not extinguished. No return home. Dead or alive. It's up to him to make it to himself. ”
That's all I have to say. How else can other military commanders refute it.
Several military gods are not young. But they weren't confused at all. Who's good and who's bad. Who's right and who's wrong. Their hearts are like mirrors. Yun Mu's choice was indeed not wrong. The Twelve Star Divine Decree is in anyone's hands. It's better to be safe in the hands of Hu Lie.
"Hu Lie is right. As the commander of the military government. Lead by example. We old guys can fight it. Why can't the juniors of the military government? ”
"yes. The young disciples of today are too pampered. It's time to sharpen it. ”
"I agree with this too. Let the young disciples go to the city wall. Even if you can't kill the enemy. Let them see for a long time. It's also good to practice your guts. ”
"It should be feasible to collect the stones. At all costs. Let's get through this first. ”
Several military gods expressed their opinions. In the end, the first army god made up his mind.
Followed by. One after another, military orders were issued from the Military God Mansion. The entire Twelve Cities were boiling.
............
These days. Crouching Tiger House looks much more deserted.
Qianqiu Xun took Xia Wuxian and Hu Fei to garrison the city tower. Yunshang took the shadow of caution to practice hard during the day. Participate in the battle to defend the city at night.
Compared with. Yun Mu is much more leisurely. He has been since the end of the first battle to defend the city. He returned to the center of the Crouching Tiger and closed the door. Spend the day studying the forbidden canon and the war spirit puppets brought out of the royal city's underground palace. I hope to be able to use external forces. Survive this difficult time.
In Yunmu's impression. The Twelve Cities have indeed survived the invasion of insect tides. But because of his intervention. The current situation is very different from the previous life. So he was just as anxious. Don't dare to slack off.
To say that the only permanent resident of this Crouching Tiger House is Wan Hong. But he knew what was going on. It's also very interesting, and there is no trouble with Yunmu again. Just hide in your room and practice by yourself. Don't even bother to go to the battlefield.
Yun Mu didn't know what the other party was planning. Only after passing this level can we have a future. If you can't get by. What is the difference between victory and defeat. It's all a death anyway.
......
In the yard. Yun Mu took out the sealed Battle Spirit Bead. I watched it repeatedly in my hand for a while. Then he made a seal. A soldier-level battle spirit appeared in front of Yun Mu.
After some research. Yun Mu has been able to freely collect and release the War Spirit Puppet. But there was no clue how to reawaken the puppet. So he planned to try it directly with a soldier-level battle spirit. After all, this type of war spirit is of low level. It's easier to come to terms with it. And there are many of them. Even if you break a few, you won't feel distressed.
That's right. Yun Mu just wants to use external forces. to deal with more powerful enemies.
If it was before. He probably didn't have the slightest idea. But after talking to the Ascetic Venerable. He suddenly felt. Humans want to rely on their own strength to defeat the plague of insects, beasts, and demons. It is necessary to rely on external forces.
And the so-called external forces. It's a tool.
The Terrans have their own records of civilization. They have the ability to make and use utensils. For example, knives and guns. For example, fire and water. Another example is Xuan Ling or Xuan Bao and so on. These are all opportunities to make humanity stronger.
I want to come in Yunmu. If you can make a large number of war spirit puppets. If ordinary people can also use the War Spirit Golem. So what else can the Terrans not be able to defeat.
And this. is the hope for the true rise of the human race.
