When Zhang Yu returned to the station, he learned that the people who went to raid the Frost Continent had also returned, so he picked up the report and looked at it, and saw that the military government had dispatched a total of more than 300 fighting flying boats for this exercise.

This time, Cao Du was originally going to adopt the method he had done last time, that is, to prepare the Xuan soldiers near the frost continent first, and then carry out a short-range raid.

It was only later through trial and observation that it was found that this method was difficult to use anymore.

After suffering a big loss, Shuangzhou also quickly deduced the method used by the last public cultivator, so he spared no effort to release patrols and arrange more creations thousands of miles away, and rebuilt a large number of fortresses and protective walls in the state.

In such an arrangement, any surprise attack could turn into a strong attack.

In view of this, Cao Du made a decision, which was to replace all the pilots of the flying boat with creators without minds, and then began to launch a rapid raid thousands of miles away.

Of the more than 300 flying boats, less than 100 rushed to the territory of Mizhou in the end, and the rest either burst on their own halfway or were shot down in advance, and these flying boats all landed in the frost continent with Xuan soldiers in the end.

However, Cao Du had no intention of letting them come back from the beginning, and he thought the loss was acceptable.

After such an attack on Frost Continent, it will inevitably affect the various fortifications it is building, and it will also have to spend more manpower and material resources to prepare for the next surprise attack.

And after the Qingyang and Qingyang Prefectures were forced to retreat from the Taibo Monsters, the materials in all aspects can be said to be abundant, and they also have the confidence to fight with the Frost Continent.

The raid on the monks' side also made great efforts, and it was precisely because of their maintenance and guidance that the fleet avoided more losses, and the targets attacked were also very accurate, and Cao Du also sent a lot of thanks gifts for this.

However, this time, Cao Fangding, who had been in charge of spying on the reality of the Frost Continent in front, also came back with him, and was waiting in the station at the moment.

Zhang Yu knew that he must have something to do, otherwise he would not turn around at this time, so after reading the newspaper, he immediately ordered someone to invite him over.

Cao Fangding arrived quickly, and after greeting him, he said: "Xuanzheng asked Cao to pay attention to the Frost Continent Courtyard and other places before, because the Frost Continent has always been well guarded, I have never been able to find it, but this time I raided the Frost Continent, but I took advantage of the chaos to find a few suspicious places. ”

As he spoke, he took out a jade plate and looked at the big wall in front of him, and the map he had sketched immediately appeared on it, and some parts of it were circled with a red pen.

Zhang Yu walked to the front, looked carefully, swept his gaze to the side, and pointed: "There is a place here that is not in the state?"

Cao Fangding said: "Yes, Cao also tried to explore there, but the interior is buried deep, and there are layers of protection, and the visualization map is difficult to penetrate, so even if it is not a courtyard, it is also an extremely important boundary." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Cao Daoyou has worked hard, and the news you brought back is very useful." ”

With these targets, when attacking the Frost Continent, he could directly find these boundaries without having to search around.

He added: "The military government launched an offensive around May or June, and it was not long before then, and I am afraid that I will have to bother Cao Daoyou for a while." ”

Cao Fangding arched his hand and said: "This should be served." ”

After Cao Fangding retreated, Zhang Yu entered the inner room and sat down, and after breathing for a moment, he picked up the cicada sword, and after a while, the blade of the sword flashed with a bright light.

These days, in addition to searching for source energy and strengthening the cultivation above the supernatural powers, he is also focusing on strengthening the power of the sword.

One of them is to make the flying sword even a thousand miles away, in fact, he can do this now, but the sword weapon is not a visualization map, but if it is far away, the power attached to it will inevitably weaken, and it will not be as fast as it is close to it.

So he's trying to overcome this shortcoming now, but it may take a long time.

After he retreated for a few days, he came out of the gate, and at this time, a disciple came to say to him: "Xuanzheng, there is a thing sent from the station of the Tianji Academy, saying that it was handed over to Xuanzheng, and the disciple has already placed it on the Xuanzheng case. ”

Before Zhang Yu came to the desk, he looked at the signature of the letter above and found that it was originally sent by Ying Lao, and below was a wooden box with a simple shape.

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he opened the lid of the box, and suddenly a light flashed inside, and then a small thing half a man high jumped out, and when he saw him, he was not afraid, and squatted there and stared at him with wide eyes.

This little thing looks like a pika, but its ears are short, and its body is composed of a fine white mist, which of course looks like a white fur in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Old Spirits?"

Zhang Yu took a look at it and knew the origin of this thing.

The old spirit is a kind of spiritual creature that likes to store in ancient objects, it can not only maintain the integrity of ancient objects, but also has a natural sensitivity to some ancient things. Sometimes it was used to find some hidden treasures, and he had seen similar creatures under the Yantai Academy Palace before.

Ying Lao gave him this thing, obviously because he also heard that he had a reputation for liking antiquities, so he used it to express his gratitude for saving his life this time.

He reached out and put it on the old spirit's head, and in an instant his mind communicated, and gave it the name of "Baojun".

The old spirit was given his name, and his eyes blinked, and his eyes suddenly became a little more agile.

Zhang Yu nodded, stretched out his hand, and the old spirit turned into a ray of light and returned to the box.

The wisdom of this old spirit is like that of a child, and when ordinary people communicate, they can only use the most basic gestures.

In his case, however, he was able to communicate directly with him with his light, and he was able to manage to increase his power and wisdom, and when he reached a certain level, he could let it go out and let it find the artifact on its own, without having to be confined to his side.

On the observation platform in Mizhou City, the high-crowned old man stood on the high observation platform, looking at the buildings that were destroyed in this attack, although his back was still straight, and his spirit was still full, but compared to years ago, his body was much thinner.

One of his cronies and attendants walked over, bowed down and said, "Xiangguo, the losses this time have been counted, or Xiangguo is still accurate, and he has taken precautions early, and the loss is less than one-third of the last time." ”

The high-crowned old man looked at the ruined realms and said in a deep voice, "Is this still a good thing?"

The cronies didn't know what to say, so they could only bow their heads and remain silent.

The high-crowned old man sighed: "Qingyang's side doesn't want us to have a chance to breathe, they will never do this only once before launching a formal attack, you must leave unexpected movements." “

The cronies bowed down and said, "My subordinates are always watching. ”

The old man with the high crown said: "Also, have you checked it out? Why did Qingyang use hundreds of flying boats this time, and there was no news from Qingyang's side in advance?"

The cronies replied: "Xiangguo, Cao Du is very cautious, the flying boats he chose are all transferred from different places in the rear, and this time there are many monks accompanying him, and he is closely monitored, so he can't pass on any news in advance. ”

The high-crowned old man thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not for this reason, no matter how difficult it is, there are always clues to such a big action." ”

The cronies and attendants were taken aback and said, "Xiangguo is talking about ......"

The high-crowned old man said coldly: "It seems that some people want to give up on us when they see us in decline. ”

He snorted and said, "Go and call Chen Shao." “

The cronies said, "My subordinates will go." ”

After a long time, a man in a Taoist uniform walked over, he bowed his hand, and said, "Xiangguo is looking for me?"

The high-crowned old man said, "Daoist Chen, how many monks are available to you?"

Chen Shao said: "At present, there are more than 50 median monks and more than 300 low-level monks who are completely under our control. ”

The high-crowned old man said: "I expect that Qingyang will come to attack us again, and you need to help here." ”

In the past, there were also monks in the Frost Continent, except for the monks who were infected with demons like them, the rest of the people were transformed by them with special means.

It's just that such monks are inevitably too rigid and inflexible because of their damaged minds, and after all, Frost Continent is dominated by armor warriors, so no one uses them on weekdays.

Previously, Zhang Yu led more than 100 monks to raid Mizhou, which also inspired them, and they also tried to use monks carrying Xuan soldiers to raid the Fangtai station.

It's just that you can't deal with the monks with this method, even if the Fangtai station is bombed away, you can turn around and come back and re-establish it.

And later, Zhang Yu wantonly destroyed the Shuangzhou outposts, and set up sentry posts outside, and as time went on, the defense became more and more tight, even if they wanted to, it was impossible, and this plan was put on hold.

And this time, after Cao Du attacked Shuangzhou again, Shuangzhou's side decided that if the other party came again, then he would use the monk to intercept those fighting flying boats halfway.

Chen Shaodao: "Since Xiangguo has ordered, then I will naturally do it, but I also need to say that with the background of Qingyang, even if we succeed once, it is useless, and wait until the next time, Xuanfu will definitely increase the number of people, and if you want to do this, there is not much chance, Xiangguo still thinks about the way out as soon as possible." ”

The high-crowned old man said, "Do your best." ”

Chen Shao said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will retire in the future." ”

After the high-crowned old man waited for him to leave, he got off the viewing platform, came all the way to the middle region of the Frost Continent through a special secret passage, and came to the underground cave located at a depth of a hundred miles again.

He carefully stepped on the broken slate above the lava, walked in front of the huge dark blue jade, bowed to the tall figure inside, and said, "Meet Jeongguk." ”

The figure in the crystal jade woke up and said, "Is there something wrong with the family?"

The old man Gao Guan said: "Qi Zhengguo, the Qingyang Military Government has already stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in the wasteland, and a few days ago sent a flying boat to raid Mizhou again, according to this movement, at most one to two months, Qingyang will definitely attack us, and this time there must be monks accompanying us, purely with the military strength in our current hands, it is impossible to stop it no matter what, so it is ......"

He took a deep look and said, "This time we probably need to make a final plan." ”

The figure was silent for a moment, and said, "I already know, so the family will arrange it according to that plan." ”

The high-crowned old man waved again, and without saying a word, he bowed down and retreated, and the tall figure in the crystal jade kept watching him leave, and then fell silent again.
