Chapter 190: The Gap
Within the four continents, the number of demons is actually more than that of people. However, most of them are uncivilized little demons, born and raised, many of them can't even speak, and there is no way to talk about mana. In the vast majority of cases, they are only approximately equal to the military exploits of the Celestial Army.
The territory of the demon country occupies most of the Nanzhan Continent and one-third of the West Niuhe Continent, and the place is very large, but in addition to the demon capital as the core, the respective territories of several demon kings, and the occasional large tribal settlements or mineral veins, there are not many places that are actually developed. Most of the places remain pristine and off the beaten track.
The reason for control is to win a strategic buffer zone, to put it bluntly. After all, the warships of the demon army can travel thousands of miles in a day, and the same is true for the warships of the heavenly army. The demon capital without the natural danger of Nantianmen can only rely on expanding its territory to ensure safety.
Therefore, although the monkey's garrison is in the territory of the demon country, it is actually a wilderness. Not even as good as the wilderness.
Almost every day, Rolling Shutter diligently led his two subordinates around the monkey's camp, and with the cultivation that had already refined the peak of the God Realm, he could find that most of the demon army sentry posts, even the dark sentry could not escape his eyes.
However, the heavy snow that closed the mountain also froze him enough.
Reincarnating as a demon means that he also obtains the characteristics of this demon. The characteristics of the turtle are not known to others, first of all, it is a cold-blooded animal. This means that he spends more spiritual energy than anyone else staying in this kind of place. Sometimes you can even see an ice pick frozen from snot on his nose.
Comparatively speaking, the gecko spirit, which is lower than him and is also a cold-blooded animal, is much better. This makes the roller blinds very unbalanced.
"Damn, did the pig just get out?"
"I said I was on the march. ”
"It's good to go on the expedition, endure it for two more days, endure it for two more days, and then you can go back. ”
So, three days passed.
"Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"
"My lord, I don't know. ”
"I wonder if you can't ask?"
"I can't ask. Pig Gangguan didn't send a war report to the headquarters, so no one knows where they are now. ”
"Nobody knows? And this way of fighting? When you go out, even the friendly troops don't know where he is?"
"Like...... That's how he's always played. ”
Helplessly, the roller shutter could only continue to wait, and at the same time, continue to wander around outside the monkey's camp like a headless fly - he really wanted to find a place to sleep, but the monkey's arming method was always constantly adjusting, and he had no choice but to keep investigating.
In fact, it's not just the roller blinds that want to go back.
The closest to the camp is the garrison of a thousand-strong force of the Lion Camel Country, four hundred miles.
Secondly, a village of the Gray Fox Clan, four hundred and fifty miles.
Then there is the garrison of a team of five hundred people under the command of the Peng Demon King, six hundred and eighty miles.
To put it bluntly, this is a place where money can't buy anything, and all kinds of materials have to be transported from the demon capital five thousand miles away. Not to mention anything else, the spiritual power stones needed to travel to and from the battleship alone are a lot of money......
That is, even if they don't do anything, just stay there, military spending is already high. Not to mention that in addition to the three thousand on the register, there are 12,000 troops as the main force behind it.
In the past, when I was in Huaguo Mountain, the monkey didn't think there were many soldiers, but now I pull it out...... Looking at the ledger, he was speechless with heartache.
This situation seems to be different from what I thought at the beginning.
"Now the general understands why Yanxi led troops to the front line before, and after being stationed for a period of time, she couldn't find a fighter, so she returned to the demon capital first, right?"
"Because you don't have any money?"
Yanxi nodded silently and said, "Although Senior Brother supports us, military spending is also limited. ”
"So how long can we hold up our money now?"
"It's been four months. ”
Four months...... Huaguo Mountain doesn't have much food left. Just looking at the strength of 3,000 troops for four months, counting the 12,000 troops in the back, the monkey estimates that it may not last for two months.
"Hey, I can't bear the wolf. Or...... Let your senior brother fund more, at least ensure that we can stay here for a year and a half, right? Otherwise, this battle will be too passive. ”
Yanxi didn't speak, just looked at the monkey.
After thinking about it, the monkey could only spread his hands and said, "Okay, I understand." I'll figure it out myself. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I will use whatever method the demon kings use. ”
"The way of the demon kings?"
Frowning, the monkey said leisurely, "When you go on the expedition, the main expense is food." If I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be any demon king who lives by eating from the demon capital, right? ”
Hearing this, Yanxi was stunned for a moment.
Soon, the monkey's order was given.
After making basic defensive preparations, the stationed demon army began to collect food on the spot, and began to build permanent military strongholds.
"Damn, what's going on? They're starting to build a stronghold? Do they want to stay here forever?"
The roller blinds felt like their eyes were dark.
He suddenly had the feeling that he would stay here forever until he was frozen into a turtle ice sculpture.
Although the demon capital is the enemy's base camp, it is better to stay in the demon capital than to stay here.
Helpless, he could only pray that the battle would be fought quickly, whether he won or lost, and it would end quickly anyway. In that way, he will be able to return to the demon capital.
"Urge them again, let them fight quickly!"
"Oh...... Oh. ”
......
The periphery of the demon kingdom.
In the long sky, a fleet of Tianhe naval forces hoisted the banner of the wave sword and opened a huge fish scale array and sailed slowly.
Pig Gang stood on the deck and looked down on the earth.
"Brother Gangguan, there is information again. ”
Say. ”
"As before, some of the opponent's arming adjustments are just very detailed. We have also sent people to investigate, and it is basically consistent with the intelligence. ”
"Does that mean the information is true?"
"Also, the person who sent the information wants us to hurry up. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gangguan couldn't help laughing.
"Is it inexplicable that the Heavenly Survey Mansion has begun to intervene in how the front-line troops fight? Do you know who's squatting over there?"
"I asked, but I didn't say. ”
"Alright, let's go back. ”
"Return?"
"Yes. The opponent's arming is very tight, and the chosen place is also a dead end. We're running out of supplies, so we're not going to return. I'm looking for war, but I'm not stupid enough to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. Give it the order. ”
"No!"
As a result, everyone knew that the monkey's target this time was Pig Gang Guana, and the target of Pig Gang was Monkey. In this situation, it is not clear whether the pig is bait or the monkey is bait. However, there was a stalemate, and just as everyone held their breath and waited for a big battle to happen, the news came that Pig Gangguana's fleet had returned.
The monkey didn't think it was a big deal, but the blinds were rolling, and the eyeballs were about to fall off.
However, the most unexpected thing is not him, there are many people who want the monkey to die.
Receiving the news that Pig Gang had returned to Tiangang, Hayabusa silently gave an order.
"Leave a gap for them, otherwise they won't dare to do it. Withdraw all the forces close to the stone monkey army for five hundred miles. ”
"No. ”
