Chapter 159: Temptation
At this moment, under the leadership of the hedgehog demon and the pangolin demon, the demon clan is only strengthening the territory and strengthening the defense, and is not in a hurry to attack the Xiuzhen Alliance, and a war of attrition continues.
The Xiuzhen Alliance, the Ghost King and the Han family are all suffering, this month is two years of consumption, and the income can't meet the expenditure at all, it depends on who can't support it first.
Time flies quickly, but the four forces are suffering, although the demon clan does not need to control the formation, but all the resources required by the demon clan soldiers to cultivate are also consumed, but although most of the middle earth in the cultivation realm is in the hands of the demon clan, the resources are basically in the hands of the Xiuzhen Alliance.
The hedgehog demon and the pangolin demon were in the big tent at the moment, and the hedgehog demon opened his mouth and said, "Brother A, we need more resources, otherwise the resources needed for the cultivation of the army will not be supplied."
The pangolin demon nodded: "This is a big problem, the monks of the cultivation realm are deeply rooted here, those mineral vein resources have long been occupied by them, we want to get resources, we can only rely on plunder"
The hedgehog demon shook his head: "Where are the resources to plunder now?"
The pangolin smiled bitterly: "This is the problem we are currently encountering"
The hedgehog demon looked at the pangolin demon and said, "Then what should we do now?"
The pangolin demon said helplessly: "In today's situation, we have to find a way to start a war, otherwise we will be difficult to support."
"But their formation is too powerful, we can't crack it, how can we start a war?"
The pangolin smiled: "We are uncomfortable, they are even more uncomfortable, we are nothing more than a lack of cultivation resources, but the number of spirit stones they need to maintain the formation is even more terrifying, so as long as we make an illusion to attack the Western Regions, I believe that the monks of Middle-earth will take action."
"Then you mean to trick them out"
"Yes, they have to be cheated, otherwise it will be difficult for them to come out, or they will have to wait too long," the pangolin demon began.
Then the two began to formulate a feint attack on the Western Regions, but in fact an attack on the Xiuzhen Alliance.
western regions
At this time, the spies in charge of monitoring the demon clan found a large number of demon soldiers approaching the junction of the Western Regions and Middle Earth, and immediately returned to report the situation.
After Tianshu learned of the situation, he immediately took people to the border area and informed Haoyan at the same time.
Of course, Hao Yan also rushed to the border to check, and when he saw thousands of demon clans coming towards the Western Regions, Hao Yan felt strange.
"Friends of the Heavenly Book Daoist, are these demon clans really going to invade the Western Regions?" Hao Yan looked at the Heavenly Book with puzzled eyes.
Tianshu shook his head: "I don't know much about this, let's see the situation first, but I don't think they seem to have broken into the formation area, although a lot of people have gathered, they are all wandering outside the formation."
"Wait for it to change" Haoyan heard Tianshu's words and said.
Middle-earth Xiuzhen Alliance
When Yan Tianhong heard the report of his subordinates, he immediately became interested: "You mean that the demon clan has begun to attack the Western Regions?"
"Yes, the alliance leader, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that the demon clan army began to approach the Western Regions"
"Haha...... Heaven help me to cultivate the True Alliance, and someone will summon all the elders and the leaders of the sub-alliance to come to the conference hall to discuss matters," Yan Tianhong said with excitement.
After a while, the council hall was full of people, Yan Tianhong looked at everyone with a smile on her face, and said, "The demon clan army has begun to attack the Western Regions, what do you think about this?"
"Alliance leader, this is a godsend! We should take this opportunity to attack the demon clan from the rear, let the demon clan suffer from the enemy, and at the same time contact the Han family to send troops," said a guy with a dark face but even white eyebrows.
When Yan Tianhong heard this, he laughed: "What Elder Hu said makes sense, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we maintain a large array with heavy losses, we must deal with the demon clan as soon as possible, while they attack the Western Regions, we can sneak attack from behind them, and take it by surprise."
At this time, a white-bearded old man spoke: "Alliance leader, my subordinates feel that this matter is a little strange."
When Yan Tianhong heard this, he looked at the white-bearded old man and said, "What does Elder Feng think about this, tell me and listen."
Elder Feng frowned and said, "Think about it, the demon clan has been here for more than a month, why is it only attacking the Western Regions now, and the defense of the Western Regions is not weak!
As soon as these words came out, the entire council hall fell silent, especially Yan Tianhong, who frowned even more, and was so excited for a while that he forgot about it.
Looking at Elder Feng, Yan Tianhong spoke, "Elder Feng, what should we do now?"
"My subordinates think we should send someone to test it first," Elder Feng said.
When Yan Tianhong heard this, he looked at Elder Feng: "Temptation?"
"Yes, if the demon clan deliberately lured us into battle, then we will send a small number of monks, and the loss will not be great, and at the same time, we can also try to find out the purpose of the demon clan."
Elder Hu on the side immediately spoke: "I agree with this move."
Yan Tianhong looked at the two of them, nodded slightly, and then looked at the others and said, "Everyone, do you have any other opinions?"
No one else in the chamber spoke again, and when Yan Tianhong saw this, he immediately spoke: "Since this is the case, then do what Elder Feng wants."
western regions
At this moment, the demon clan was only stationed on the border of the Western Regions and Middle Earth, and did not start attacking, which made Haoyan and Tianshu extremely puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist Haoyan, what do you say this demon clan is doing, why do you stay on the periphery and don't attack?"
When Haoyan heard Tianshu's words, he shook his head: "I don't understand this either, but I think we can send some people to test it and see if we can test the purpose of the demon clan."
When Tianshu heard this, he was embarrassed and said, "Who will you send? I'm afraid this is an errand with no return."
"Send some low-level monks, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward"
"Okay, then do it"
Haoyan's suggestion was adopted by the Book of Heaven, so the Western Regions also sent people to test it.
And the Xiuzhen Alliance sent a full 500 people to go this time, who knew that the demon clan did not fight with these 500 people, or did not look down on them at all, and directly captured these 500 people alive and sent them back to the Xiuzhen Alliance.
However, the people sent by the Western Regions were all killed by the demon clan, and some of their heads were sent back to the Tianyin Mountain Range.
Tianshu was furious when he saw it: "Bastard, such a monster is really hateful, he actually killed someone, and cut off his head and sent it back"
Seeing this, Haoyan was also very puzzled: "What does this demon clan want to do?
Tianshu said: "I think they are provocative, waiting for us to attack"
Haoyan shook his head: "I always feel that there is a conspiracy here, but I can't guess what it is."
Xiuzhen Alliance
At this moment, in the Xiuzhen Alliance, although many people couldn't believe it, even the five hundred people who came back alive couldn't believe it, but something did happen, and five hundred people were captured alive, but they were sent back intact.
Yan Tianhong found the one headed by five hundred people and asked, "You went to the territory of the demon clan, why can you come back safely?
"Back to the alliance leader, the general of the demon clan asked his subordinates to bring a message, saying that it was better for us not to act rashly, otherwise they will change their strategy of attacking the Western Regions."
When Yan Tianhong heard this, he frowned and said, "They really want to attack the Western Regions."
"Yes, they also said that this time they don't care, and it is also their sincerity to release us, if we are obsessed, they will directly attack our Xiuzhen Alliance"
Yan Tianhong listened and nodded slightly: "Okay, I know, you go down first!"
The discussion of the Xiuzhen Alliance began again, and Yan Tianhong spoke: "Everyone, according to the information told by the five hundred people who came back, this time the demon clan is definitely going to attack the Western Regions."
When Elder Feng heard this, he spoke, "Attack the Western Regions, but I didn't see all of their troops going to the Western Regions."
Yan Tianhong nodded slightly: "This is also what I think is strange, since you want to attack the Western Regions, why don't all 300,000 people go to the Western Regions?"
"Alliance leader, are they afraid of our sneak attack, leaving some people to defend us," Elder Hu said at this time.
"No, it's absolutely impossible, if that's the case, they will leave tens of thousands of people at most, but now the situation shows that they still have at least 200,000 people, do we need so many people to defend against them? Could it be that we only need tens of thousands of people to attack the Western Regions? The strength of the Western Regions is not worse than our Xiuzhen Alliance" Elder Feng finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Yan Tianhong.
"So what should we do?" Yan Tianhong asked.
"Respond to all changes with the same," Elder Feng immediately put forward his own opinion.
Yan Tianhong looked at the others, this time there was still no one to give other opinions, Yan Tianhong could only speak: "Just according to Elder Feng's words"
western regions
At this time, the people of the demon clan were eyeing each other, but they did not take substantive action, and the demon clan soldiers gathered on the periphery of the Western Regions were only thirty or forty thousand.
"Daoist Haoyan, what do you think is the purpose of such a demon clan, if you want to start a war with us, why are there only so many people, if you don't start a war with us, why do you always make a decisive battle?" Tianshu looked at Haoyan with deep doubts.
Sitting in the hall of the Ghost King's First Line, Haoyan was also frowning at the moment, and couldn't think of a reason.
"Master, this demon clan's approach is not to lure us into attacking," an elder of the Ghost King's lineage spoke.
Tianshu shook his head: "Impossible"
However, at this time, Mo Chuyun spoke: "Could it be that what they are doing is to attack the east and the west?"
These words reminded Hao Yan, who looked at Mo Chuyun, and then said to Tianshu: "Fellow Daoist of Tianshu, if you want to attack a powerful enemy, will you let your rear defense force exceed the attacking force?"
When Tianshu heard it, he was puzzled: "Haoyan Daoyou, what do you mean by this, please make it clear"
Hao Yan smiled: "Now the demon clan can be said to be alone, although the strength is strong, but they also need resources, and it is not good for them to drag it out for a long time, so they prefer to start a war as soon as possible."
Hearing Hao Yan's words, everyone still didn't understand, Hao Yan looked at everyone and said again: "Since it is a lone army, how can it be reluctant to seek the near and far, the Xiuzhen Alliance is only a hundred miles away from them, but our Western Regions is five or six hundred miles away from where their army is, and their purpose in doing this is nothing more than to create an illusion."
"Create an illusion?" Tianshu asked, puzzled.
"Yes, it can also be said that they are making a show for the Xiuzhen Alliance," Hao Yan said with a smile on his face.
Mo Chuyun said at this time: "Ah! I understand, what the alliance leader means is that the demon clan wants the Xiuzhen Alliance to think that they are attacking the Western Regions, and lure the Xiuzhen Alliance to attack them, so that they will have the opportunity to attack the Xiuzhen Alliance in one fell swoop."
