Chapter 291: The Great War is Coming
The five people had talismans painted on their faces, and they were wearing large grunes full of spell runes, and even the surface of the gourd on their backs was painted with talismans, so they knew at a glance that they were bone hunters.
And the speed of the five people is very fast, very flexible, and obviously has a kung fu foundation.
Higashiyama Takashi felt very strange when he saw this, because he clearly remembered that the people of the Bone Hunter faction only knew magic and did not know kung fu, what happened to these people?
Dongshan Xiao originally wanted to get closer, but when he thought of Tang Xiaohao's advice, he suddenly sobered up.
He is a resentful spirit, and these strangers only need to move their fingers against them.
Therefore, Higashiyama Xiao flew in the direction where the five bone hunters came for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else behind, he rushed back as fast as he could.
Higashiyama Takashi's speed was naturally faster than those bone hunters and the corpses that jumped forward on the canopy, so after flying forward for a while, he saw the war spirit that was also flying in front of him.
Higashiyama Takashi shuttled among those war spirits, and soon found the war spirit he had talked to earlier.
When the war spirit saw Higashiyama Xiao returning, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Is there anyone else?"
Higashiyama shook his head: "There are five bone hunters, and other than that, there is no one else."
The war spirit was silent for a while and then said, "I have investigated again, and the number of corpses should be around three hundred and fifty, which means that the number of enemies is three hundred and fifty-five, what about you? How many?"
Dongshan filial piety: "There are more than them."
The war spirit shook his head: "Fighting is not about numbers, three hundred trained soldiers can deal with a thousand ordinary people."
Dongshan Xiaowei was puzzled: "I don't understand this. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"Song Song," the War Spirit replied as he flew away, "what about you?"
Dongshan Xiao replied: "The surname is Dongshan, and the single name is a filial piety character."
Song Song didn't say anything more, "Let's go, we must rush to the Jianmu Divine Tree before the enemy."
——
Under Su Man's arrangement, the thirty-four women who were called mothers by the mountain boys, as well as the three hundred and ten half-demons who were completely incapable of fighting power among the half-demons, were all arranged in the tree house as close to the Jianmu Divine Tree as possible.
Su Man said that the top position can accommodate fifty or sixty people at best, in order to avoid the treehouse being unable to bear the weight, so Tang Xiaohao decided that the top was only used to hide the thirty-four women, and the half-demons who did not have combat power were hidden in batches in the treehouse below.
As for how to arrange the rest of the people, Tang Xiaohao had no idea for a while, after all, these half-demons and mountain boys couldn't arrange their troops like in the book of soldiers, let alone in the mountains and forests.
The most important thing is that Tang Xiaohao still doesn't know the number and combat effectiveness of the enemy, that is, the bone hunters.
That's why he sent Higashiyama Takashi as a scout.
In combat, we must know ourselves and our opponents, and unless it is a last resort, we must try our best to find out the enemy's intelligence.
"There are only one hundred and thirty-four half-demons with combat power, and there are one hundred and thirteen mountain boys, which adds up to two hundred and sixty-four," Tang Xiaohao calculated by leaning on the trunk of Jianmu, "Plus I also have Tang Rongrong and Zhan Tianya......
Li Yunfan interrupted Tang Xiaohao's words at this time: "Xiaohao, even if I, the Bronze Tiger and the Bronze Leopard don't have magical powers, as long as we are close combat, we are not afraid of those bone hunters."
Bao Meng also said at this time, "I can also fight!"
Tang Xiaohao and Su Man said almost in unison, "No!"
Because the two of them were very loud, Bao Meng was startled, and then he felt a little aggrieved.
Tang Xiaohao immediately slowed down his tone: "Baomeng, I'm not questioning you, but you are very important, you and Aunt Su Man are both very important, so it is better for the two of you to hide at the top."
Bao Meng wondered, "You have been calling her aunt all the time, what do you mean?"
Tang Xiaohao knew that he would definitely not be able to hide it, so he had to look at Su Man, thinking that it would be more appropriate for Su Man to explain the matter.
Su Man hesitated and said, "Princess, I am your mother, Queen Durantuya's personal maid, and I personally brought you from the queen's body to this world
from the world."
Bao Meng was stupid when he heard this, but he instantly understood why he felt so kind when he saw Su Man for the first time.
Although his mother died, Suman was like a mother to Bao Meng.
Therefore, Bao Meng directly stepped forward and hugged Su Man, and Su Man also hugged Bao Meng tightly.
Tang Xiaohao took the opportunity to say, "So, I said, you two should quickly hide at the top, and leave the following things to me."
As he spoke, Tang Xiaohao looked at Zedu who was not far away: "Zedu, you ask the two companions to take the ghost mother and the princess to the top tree house."
When Zedu hesitated, Suman spoke, "From now on, you children will listen to the orders of the horses, do you understand?"
Zedu nodded, and immediately called the two mountain boys.
After one of the mountain boys jumped up with Baomeng first, Tang Xiaohao stopped Su Man.
Tang Xiaohao said in a low voice: "Aunt Su Man, this time I estimate that it will be a vicious battle, and it is the first time I have done this, if there is any accident, you will let these two mountain boys take you and Baomeng and flee quickly, leave us alone, if something happens to the princess, then we will all lose."
Suman didn't have any extra nonsense: "I know."
With that, Su Man was held by the mountain boy and jumped upward.
Then, Tang Xiaohao turned to look at Li Yunfan and the others, as well as the group of half-demons waiting around: "Now, as quickly as possible, cut down all the trees around the Jianmu Divine Tree, and when the tree falls, it will be lit up immediately to illuminate the surroundings."
When the crowd heard this, they immediately scattered around and began to cut down trees in their own way.
The mountain boy all used his fists, the half-demon either used his claws or his teeth, while Li Yunfan, the Bronze Tiger and the Bronze Leopard directly used the Dusk Cloud Palm.
Just when Tang Xiaohao took out the fire talisman gun and felt that he should hand over the fire talisman gun to Bao Meng and Su Man for self-defense, he heard a loud noise next to him.
The loud noise caused everyone to stop and look, and found that the flag spirit Zhan Tianya had broken a tree with a single punch with his strange power.
Grandma Xiong next to her looked amazed, even if she used a bear's paw to split a tree, she had to do her best to plane it for a while.
Tang Rongrong sat next to him and held his chin and watched, "You cut down the tree first, and when the cutting is finished, I will burn it again."
Li Yunfan looked at his hands: "The strange power of your flag spirit, I guess I can't catch a punch."
After the copper tiger on the side split two trees, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Zhan Tianya and said, "He can deal with it alone."
The bronze leopard nodded and sighed, "I think we are all superfluous."
Tang Xiaohao said, "What we are about to face is a small-scale war, and since war is not something that can be dealt with alone."
Li Yunfan looked at the Jianmu Divine Tree behind him and said, "You asked us to split the surrounding trees because we were afraid that the enemy would climb up and jump directly onto the Jianmu through the surrounding trees, right?"
Tang Xiaohao said, "Yes, in this way, there is only one way for the enemy to climb the Jianmu."
Tang Xiaohao decided to set up two lines of defense around Jianmu first, the first is fire, which is the reason why the tree is cut down and ignited, and the second is the most combat-effective half-demon, such as Grandma Xiong, plus Li Yunfan, Copper Tiger, Copper Leopard, Tang Xiaohao, Zhan Tianya.
The third line of defense is those half-demons who are more agile in climbing, and they will rely on their own advantages to attack those enemies who try to climb the Jianmu under the leadership of Tang Rongrong.
If the first and second lines of defense are breached, then Tang Xiaohao and others will also join the third line of defense.
The most pity is that they don't have weapons, and if they do, especially bows and arrows, it will be much easier.
Tang Xiaohao looked into the distance, and now he was waiting for Dongshan Xiao, because he urgently needed to know how many enemies were coming, and what they were.
In Tang Xiaohao's judgment, there were only two possibilities, either a small number of bone hunters with someone else, such as their disciples from Dusk Cloud Castle, or a small number of bone hunter masters directly.
Of course, Tang Xiaohao hopes for the latter the most, although he knows that it is not right to take chances,
But for him, a monster who could defeat the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon with demonic power in Liang City, it was far easier to fight a few heterogeneous masters than to deal with a few hundred soldiers.
At the same time, Tang Xiaohao also looked down at his hands, thinking about the question: What am I?
While thinking, Tang Xiaohao also subconsciously accumulated that power in the position of the abdominal dantian, and then turned that power into water, trying to swim all over the body, but as before, he still couldn't break through the bottleneck, and he couldn't completely reach the palms and soles of his feet.
At the same time, all of a sudden, everyone heard a strange sound, which came from the Jianmu Sacred Tree, as if there was a hollow inside the trunk, and there was some monster living in the hollow part, and the sound came from the mouth of the monster.
Tang Xiaohao was also taken aback by that voice, and while he turned to look at the Jianmu Divine Tree, he also put away that power. Look at the book
Strangely, at the same time as the power was retracted, the voice in the Jianmu Divine Tree also disappeared.
Is it a coincidence? Or is it an illusion? Tang Xiaohao stared at the Jianmu Divine Tree.
At this moment, several half-demons who had been cutting down trees far away ran back, shouting as they ran, "It's the undead! There are undead! The undead are coming!"
Hey, you're half-demons yourself, okay, and you'll be scared like this when you see the undead? Tang Xiaohao knew that it should be Dongshan Xiao who was back, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Soon, Tang Xiaohao not only saw Dongshan Xiao, but also saw Song Song and other twenty-four war spirits brought back by Dongshan Xiao.
Dongshan Xiao led Song Song and the other war spirits to stop in front of Tang Xiaohao, and the others also stopped and looked at this side.
Tang Xiaohao immediately turned around and said, "Don't stop, continue to cut down trees."
Afterwards, Tang Xiaohao looked at Dongshan filial piety and said, "What do I say? You're strong, and only you can do it."
Dongshan Xiao looked at Song Song beside him and said, "He is Song Song, the war spirit, these are the remaining war spirits, you are right, there are really residual war spirits."
At this time, Song Song looked at Dongshan Xiao, and the two were exchanging something.
Then, Dongshan Xiao relayed Song Song's words to Tang Xiaohao: "He said, thank you, donkey, you can still remember them, he thought that no one in this world would remember them again."
After Dongshan Xiao finished speaking, Song Song took those war spirits and knelt down on one knee in front of Tang Xiaohao.
Higashiyama Takashi said, "He and the few remaining brothers are willing to obey the dispatch of the horses."
Tang Xiaohao took a deep breath and said, "Let's defeat those goddamn debris together, and restore the peace that this place should have."
