Chapter 5: Danger
The Tang Sen family was eventually trapped in the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint Mansion, but this was also expected.
From the moment they accepted the order of the Winning City Sword Pavilion, the Tang Sen family knew the plans of the Yuanzhou Xu family.
It's nothing more than letting them disassociate themselves from the Tang family, perhaps in the eyes of the Yuanzhou Xu family, being able to accept their family is an extrajudicial favor.
But for several men of the Tang family, this is not a grace at all!
"Second uncle, the sword master wants to put me and others into a situation of disloyalty and unfilial piety, even if we are in Yuanzhou, we can't be stable in our hearts. ”
Looking up at the sword intent that was dense like a net of heaven and earth, Tang Luo said in a deep voice to Xu Changge outside the courtyard through the hood.
"Alas, how can the second uncle not know that you and your brother-in-law are like arrows, but since you have entered the winning city, you have to accept the control of the Sword Pavilion. ”
Xu Changge explained to a few people in the courtyard: "Moreover, this is also what the Tang clan patriarch meant, if he hadn't foreseen this. He won't let you rush to Yuanzhou before the war. ”
The people in the courtyard were a little silent, which made Xu Changge feel even more guilty in his heart, but thinking about the killing caused by the patriarch of the Tang clan, he still said ruthlessly: "Therefore, you can stay in Yuanzhou with peace of mind, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and this general trend is the people's hearts and minds." The sword master has set a ban to protect you. ”
After that, Xu Changge turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tang Luo.
"Second uncle!"
"What else?"
"Since this prohibition cannot be disobeyed, can you ask the second uncle for a favor. ”
Xu Changge turned his head with a complicated expression: "What do you want the second uncle to help?"
"Please ask the second uncle to help keep an eye on the information of the Longxi Alliance. ”
Tang Luo shook it to the end: "Although I also know that my ancestors have committed a lot of wrong things, they are our relatives after all. ”
"Alas!"
Xu Changge sighed and said, "What can I do when I see it, it's nothing more than sad." ”
"Please make it happen to the second uncle!"
"That's it, I'll let people pay attention to the information of the Longxi Alliance and send it every day. ”
"Thank you, second uncle!"
After Xu Changge left, Tang Luo and his family returned to the house.
Everyone's faces were not very good, and Tang Xing hugged Tang Zhen, who was becoming more and more sad, in a huff.
There was some anger in his father's silent face, and his mother Xu Shuhui was even more ashamed.
"Everyone, be happy, isn't there still good news?"
Tang Luo, who was holding Yunxiu, suddenly spoke: "At least we can get the news of the Longxi Alliance from the Xu family's channels." ”
"What's the use of knowing the news. ”
Tang Xing, who was holding Tang Zhen and comforting him softly, said irritably: "We can't help anything!"
Hearing this, Tang Zhen, who was sobbing, cried even more fiercely, which made Tang Xing comfort for a while.
And the faces of his father Tang Sen and mother Xu Shuhui also had a gloomy color.
Yunxiu wanted to say something, but her hand was tightened by Tang Luo, and she turned her head to find that her husband gave him a slightly calming look.
......
The beginning of August 1791 in the Longzhou calendar
Lanshan City Hall
Or it would be more appropriate to call it the command room now, since the Evil King's Palace was overwhelmed, there has been no meeting on people's livelihood here.
And what is even more chilling is that those alliance clans, in addition to the families who have participated in the robbery of the treasure ship, the vast majority of them began to seek a way back after Xiao Jinlin led the team to defeat, and from the large number of bounty hunters who inexplicably appeared in the city, they could understand that there were already alliance clans that had defected and betrayed.
The fall of Jiejiang City has made the situation of the Longxi Alliance faintly collapse, and the meetings of the past few days have been carried out around the two themes of war and escape.
But at the end of the discussion, everyone found in despair that they had nowhere to run.
After the Imperial Beast Sect broke the scandal of the Tang Clan's Ten Thousand Treasure Ships, the Xihe Holy Land Heavenly Sect could no longer tolerate them, and the Wild Lands in the open sea were even more hostile to them.
They had no other way out than to rely on the city defense to defend the Lingjiang River, and after the Justice League entered the city of Jiejiang, its power continued to expand, and the camps of the four powerful clans of Longzhou continued to advance.
Everyone has a feeling that they are running out of gas, so much so that today's wartime meetings have become lifeless.
No one wants to speak first, and no one wants to listen to others, and the spirit has long been exhausted at the council a few days ago.
Now they are holding meetings, mainly to exchange bad news, some bad news that if they are spoken, the morale of the army will be broken.
“...... The grain merchants of Dalin and Chuanyuan had stopped supplying grain to the Longxi Alliance, and all the grain purchased through Chaochang City could not be transported into the city because the waterway was cut off by the Nanying Mu family. ”
"Not only food, but also medicinal materials and spirit crystals, spirit armor and spirit soldiers' repair materials, according to the consumption of these few months, it will be completely exhausted in half a year at most. ”
“...... The Xuanji Sect rejected Tang Ming's representative's order and tore up the cooperation agreement, which meant that the Xuanji Jade, which was supposed to be delivered in September, would not appear again. And there is news that they have opened some kind of special magic weapon to the Justice League, which is specially used to restrain the Xuanji Jade!"
“....... According to the news from the wind media, the fields of the seven cities of Lingjiang are now all spies of the major forces, which makes it extremely difficult to search for and treat the injured Martial Sect, and the timing of using the Xuanji Jade must be cautious and cautious. ”
"There is also news in the medicine house, the hybrids in the medicine garden in the Alan Mountain realm have recently withered and withered in large quantities, the reason... The reason has not yet been found!"
Originally, I thought that the situation could not be worse anymore, but when Elder Tang said that the medicine garden was withering, the faces of the members present couldn't help but twitch.
In today's Lingjiang Seven Cities, there are at least 100 fierce realms participating in the battle every day, and regardless of victory or defeat, healing herbs must be prepared.
For the Longxi Alliance, which has been cut off from the supply of medicinal materials, Alan Mountain is the pharmacy of the Seven Cities, and now the problem in the pharmacy is more terrifying than the defeat in the regional battle.
The heads of the two families of Lanshan City Xue and Zhang immediately jumped up and scolded Cui Ying.
"Let's give an explanation, the Cui family master said that he couldn't send more elites to participate in the big battle on the border of Nanji because he had to guard the medicine house of the Longxi Alliance with heavy troops, but now that there is a problem in the medicine garden, how can you explain this?"
"What the head of the Xue family said is right, if it weren't for the Cui family's cowardice, the battle on the border of Nanji would not have been defeated, and the group of cubs of the Justice League would not have played with momentum and pushed all the way to Jiejiang City!"
"How can these two things be confused!"
Cui Ying was furious and took the case: "The martial arts sect stationed in the medicine house has never slackened off patrolling day and night, as for the battle on the border of Nanji, isn't it the teaching of the two family masters?"
"It has long been spread outside, and the order you gave to the Martial Sect in the clan is not to fall in love with war. After releasing the spiritual skill, activate the Xuanji Jade and escape, and the survival is the top. The people on the other side are all the elites of the sect, and with a command like you, even if the Cui clan comes out, there is no chance of winning!"
"Alright!"
Tang Hongjun, the second elder of the Tang clan, said unhappily: "Today's emergency council is for you to think of a way, not to blame each other. Now that the city has fallen, the patriarch is confronting the Justice League, and it is the time when a large amount of material support is needed......"
"And supplies!?"
Cui Ying said with red eyes: "Martial artists, materials, and everything we can give in the past few months, but the battle situation is still tight step by step, if Tang Zhi can't do it, he will give up the right of the commander-in-chief as soon as possible!"
"Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, Patriarch Cui won't understand, right?"
"It's better to be taboo than to hug and die together!"
Cui Ying said angrily: "What about Tang Luo? What about Tang Sen? It's August now, can't they come back from Yuanzhou? Are they going to settle their relatives, or break through the pass, the next step, is it that you Tang clan also want to go to Yuanzhou, let us fend for ourselves here?"
"Master Cui. ”
Tang Hongjun's words were full of anger: "What you say, are you worthy of the first martial arts hall in Jiejiang City that will not retreat, and worthy of the sacrifice of several Tang clan's fierce realms!"
The second elder in the angry questioning was stirred with spiritual power, and the majestic and domineering coercion made Cui Ying sober up instantly, and he confessed again and again: "Please forgive the second elder, Cui is just worried about the war, and he has no intention of questioning the martial artists of the Tang family, I hope to forgive me, forgive me!"
"Humph!"
Tang Hongjun sat down again, and said expressionlessly: "I still ask you family masters to think carefully about how to solve the current difficulties in Lanshan City!"
Solve it, there is no way to solve it, they don't even know what the problem is.
Once again, the difficult council was turned back to the point, and the progress of the crowd was not as fluent as the quarrel.
......
Poma City
This plateau mountain city at the end of the Lingjiang River has now been turned into a war fortress.
Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and for some special warriors, they can only play their greatest role in times of war.
For example, spirit craftsmen, such as formation masters, such as mechanism masters, etc., if a faction sings and dances, which force will offer them a high price?
So it doesn't matter whether it's good or evil, what matters is who can afford it, and as for the poison afterwards, anyway, they're just here to work, so what's the matter.
Every day, the highly-paid array masters will make Poma City more formations drawn in the outer city and transform the dwellings into sinister and vicious institutions.
As for the original residents of Poma City?
It has long been relocated to Andong City, which is further behind, and now in Poma City, there are only warriors left, as well as the necessary logistics personnel, and nothing else.
This was also done to avoid the trouble of the Bounty Guild, who would have thought that this killer organization, which was not taken into account by anyone, had now become so terrifying.
The problem that was originally criticized by people has been unprecedentedly improved after the addition of the underground organizations of Dragon Continent, such as the Fierce Tooth Mansion, the Demon Deepavali Palace, the Blood Martial Gang, the Blood Prison, and the Black Demon Realm.
When the Tang clan gathered a large army to meet Nanji, the reborn bounty guild directly cooperated with the four powerful clans to make trouble, if it weren't for the strong men left behind by the Tang clan and the alliance's clans, the seven cities of Lingjiang might have all fallen by now.
However, several attacks and defenses have also greatly damaged the vitality of the alliance, and the city is a place for warriors to recuperate after the war, if you return to the city and beware of assassination, then this battle will indeed become difficult to fight.
Of course, the current battle is also very difficult to fight, and in the war room of Poma City, Xiao Jinlin is very big.
"We're too short of masters right now. ”
On the sand case, there are confrontational horses and intercepted rivers, and then dense small flags of various colors.
The white flag represents the Tang Clan's murderous realm, and the black one represents the murderous realm of the Justice League.
The two sides are evenly matched in terms of total numbers, but the internal composition is very different.
Most of the four hundred fierce realms of the black flag are sect disciples, even if they are new to the fierce realm, their combat power is comparable to that of the senior martial arts of the family (excluding Tang and Xiao).
There are more grandmasters like Duan Siping and Duan Yanyao, who have the true inheritance of the high-grade sect in Zhongzhou.
The former are strong men who can turn the battlefield on their own, while the latter, although their combat power is not so exaggerated, but they have an extraordinary understanding of the ways of spiritual fighting thanks to the teachings of the sect.
It seems that the number of battles is about the same, and the latter's fire concentration and defense capabilities greatly surpass their own.
Therefore, the commander of the Justice League did not play those bells and whistles at all, but just broke it into pieces and harassed it in turn with elite squads.
After opening up the numerical advantage, they combined and pressed together, so that the Longxi side could only flee.
Although the opponent's tactics are simple, they are indeed effective, because the Dragonsey Alliance simply can't distinguish so many masters to resist the elite squad of the Justice League.
Of course, if it is enough to concentrate all the elite forces in one place, but the four wealthy clans of Longzhou and the Bounty Guild are eyeing each other.
It's no wonder that Xiao Jinlin sighed like this, but there are too few masters.
In the eyes of the family, it is already an extremely strong martial sect, and it is already a little difficult to deal with the disciples of the upper sect alone, let alone fight against the crowd.
Therefore, the current Longxi Alliance was beaten into the city by the Justice League of Interception City, and defended by the terrain and formation.
But this stalemate will not last long, because the Evil King's Palace will not be happy to fight a war of attrition with them.
Putting a new batch of small black flags into his hands, Xiao Jinlin inserted them into the range of Jiejiang City, and said to the rest of the people in the war room: "The wall is down and everyone is pushing, with the news of the defeat of the Great Lin Business Alliance, more and more fierce realms have joined the Justice League. Now there are no less than 600 fierce realms in Jiejiang City, and the two grandmasters are constantly saying that they will plant the banner of justice on the top of Alan Mountain before the autumn harvest!"
"So Xiao judged that by September at the latest, they would unite the four wealthy clans and the Bounty Guild to launch a general attack, and in this war, they would not care about civilians, would not accept surrender, and would not need to be captured!"
"There are only two ways in front of us, either let their momentum climb to the peak and bulldoze the seven cities of Lingjiang in waves, or gather the Martial Sect and counterattack the Interception River City!"
Everyone in the war room looked at each other, and finally the old lady of the Cui family said quietly: "Dare to ask Grandmaster Xiao, last time I was defeated in the border of Nanji, and this time the Justice League is even more powerful, what is the chance of victory?"
"Only by breaking up the establishment of the Justice League will we have a chance to win. ”
Xiao Jinlin stared at everyone with tiger eyes and looked around for a while, and then said slowly: "If you wait any longer, the Longxi Alliance will only be defeated." ”
After listening to Xiao Jinlin's words, everyone in the war room felt a chill for no reason.
This battle has just begun, why does your own side assert that it will lose?
