Chapter 128: Decision
On the third day of the first month of September, a figure descended directly on the South Customs.
"What, all retreat to the second front?" Xu Qingfeng and the others looked at Elder Lu Li in disbelief.
All retreated to the "second front", which means that all the gates of the first front must be surrendered to the demons.
"Haven't we already held on?" Qi Zhengxiu couldn't help but ask.
Elder Lu Li shook his head: "This is just a helpless move, our Two Realms Valley can completely defend the demon clan from the outside, but the other three major sects are a little worse." ”
In the past two months, some of the cities of the Tianyin Sect and the Ghost Sect have all missed, resulting in a large area of loopholes in the originally intact "first front" in the central part, and countless casualties among the Terran masters.
"This is also a decision made by the four major sects together, only in this way will the pressure on the other three major sects be much less, and there will be many more masters of the Venerable Realm to rescue all places. Elder Lu Li explained: "There is a give-and-take. ”
Xu Qingfeng and the three of them couldn't accept this news, they had been defending for so many years, and all they got in exchange for was to disarm?
Lu Li was also unacceptable at first, but disarming was indeed the best decision at the moment.
"If the 'first front' is completely abandoned, what about those residents? What should they do if the demons are attacking?" "So that the demons can invade on a large scale!"
"And if we retreat to the second front, we will have much less territory left, and the burden will be heavy. Qin Li also said.
The three of them all looked at Elder Lu Li.
Therefore, the four major sects will let the Chengguan of the "first front" be guarded for another three months until all the residents have completed the evacuation. As for the problem of population burden, there is no way, if the core forces of the human race are all killed in battle, no matter how many people face it, they will only face death. Elder Lu Li said.
After the loophole appeared in the first front, many demon masters had already infiltrated it, and many of the rear of the cities were attacked, and the Terrans suffered heavy losses.
Xu Qingfeng's faces were very ugly.
"You can take a look at this file, and then you will understand the helplessness of the four major sects. Elder Lu Li handed a file to Qi Zhengxiu.
After Qi Zhengxiu took it, he began to flip through it.
After a while, Qi Zhengxiu's face became even more ugly.
The above summarizes the specific casualties of the Terrans after the hole appeared in the "first front".
In just a few months, the loss of the human race can be compared to the damage of the past year, and even the Venerable Realm has sacrificed a full seven.
Qi Zhengxiu read backwards again, "No wonder ............"
Among the four major sects, the Tianyin Sect has completely been unable to hold the "first front", the Tianyin Sect has sacrificed too many disciples in this year, and the city they are guarding can be broken at any time, plus most of the disciples of the Tianyin Sect are women, which are originally less than other sects, and it is difficult to replenish them in time.
Qi Zhengxiu handed the file to Xu Qingfeng and Qin Li, and sat silently aside.
After Xu Qingfeng and Qin Li finished reading it, they were also very silent.
Elder Lu Li said again: "The manpower of the Qi Xianyin Sect is quite sufficient, and with the assistance of the other three major sects, it can still hold the city. However, with the frequent wars, there are constantly disciples dying in battle, and there are fewer and fewer masters on the garrison, if it goes on like this, the Tianyin Sect will collapse within five years. ”
"If this situation is allowed to happen, it will be even more difficult for the human race to resist the attack of the demon race, not to mention that the Tianyin Sect will not let this kind of thing happen. ”
Elder Lu Li said, "Therefore, the four major sects finally decided to abandon all the cities on the first front and retreat to the second front, so that they could hold on for a long time until the final battle twenty-nine years later. ”
Xu Qingfeng and the three of them also nodded helplessly after reading the dossier, they didn't know that the human race was at a disadvantage now, and they also learned about the helpless actions of the four major sects.
"Although we have released a large territory, many of the core cities are still under our control, which is enough to support the reproduction of our human race. Elder Lu Li said, "The reduction of the territory is also a great benefit, our patrol can play a greater role, the efficiency of patrol and rescue will be much faster, and the loss of core personnel can be greatly reduced." ”
Qi Zhengxiu also nodded and said: "That's true, after we retreat to the second front, the advantage of our strong can be fully reflected." ”
"Although the territory was reduced by one-fifth, it was exchanged for time to recuperate and recuperate, and to buy enough time for the final war. Elder Lu Li nodded.
After reading the file, Xu Qingfeng naturally understood these advantages, the loss of the masters of the human race would be greatly reduced, but the biggest flaw was that many people would become homeless, and they were likely to become outcasts, which would seriously affect the harmony within the human race.
"The four major sects have sent experts to reclaim wasteland everywhere to provide a chance for those homeless people to survive. Elder Lu Li added. "Only in this way can we meet the brutal wars of the future in full bloom. ”
"With so many people migrating at the same time, will they be discovered by the demons. Qi Zhengxiu asked.
The number of people who have migrated this is very amazing, and the demons will definitely know about it, and there will definitely be demon masters who will intercept and kill them halfway at that time.
"The sect has long thought of it, in fact, half a year ago, the migration has begun one after another, and the food and shelter have been almost prepared, we just need to work hard in the next three months, patrol more places, and protect the safety of the people. Elder Lu Li said with a smile.
Xu Qingfeng and the three of them nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, the four major sects really thought much longer than them.
"Within five days, someone will come to replace you in guarding the South Customs, and all three of you will be dispatched to protect the relocated people, and arrangements will be made after the relocation is over. Elder Lu Li said.
This is the advantage of retreating to the second front, there will be many masters who are free, patrolling and rescuing the surroundings, relieving great pressure.
"Understood. Qi Zhengxiu and the three of them all nodded.
They couldn't have imagined that it would happen so suddenly.
"You'll have specific arrangements later, just prepare early. Lu Li instructed.
"Yes!"
These five days are for the three of them to pack up and be ready to protect the people who have migrated.
After Elder Lu Li finished speaking, he disappeared directly from this place and flew towards other cities.
"I didn't expect this to be the end. Qi Zhengxiu said to Xu Qingfeng and the others.
Qin Li nodded and said, "But after weighing the pros and cons, this decision is indeed the wisest move. ”
Xu Qingfeng also nodded, as long as the matters after the relocation of the people were resolved, this order would be almost beneficial and harmless.
"Okay, let's all go back and prepare, I guess the person who changed the guard is coming soon. Qi Zhengxiu said with a smile.
"Good. The three of them immediately dispersed and returned to their residences.
........................
Three days later, the person who came turned out to be a master of the Venerable Realm.
"Uncle Tianqing!" Qi Zhengxiu and the three of them saluted respectfully when they saw someone coming.
The person who came was a woman, who was the elder of the inner gate of the Valley of the Two Realms, but she didn't expect the sect to send her.
"Okay, from today onwards, the Southern Customs will be guarded by me. Elder Tianqing directly threw the three files to Xu Qingfeng and the others, "This is the place where you are going to go, protect the people who have migrated, and after the migration is over, you will return to the Valley of the Two Realms, and then there will be future arrangements." ”
After Xu Qingfeng and the three of them took the file, they all nodded.
As the grain capital of the south, Nanhaiguan will play a greater role in the future, so the powerhouses of the Venerable Realm will be more secure than the three of them to guard this place.
"As long as these people start to migrate, they are destined to have masters of the Demon Clan and the Demon Sect come to attack and kill the people. Elder Tianqing said, "You have to protect them as much as possible, there are many creation masters sent this time, you just need to protect the land under your jurisdiction." ”
"Also, Master Xu's nephew's strength is extraordinary now, and the area involved is also relatively extensive, you have to work hard. Elder Tianqing specially reminded Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng nodded solemnly: "Uncle Tianqing rest assured." ”
"When you're ready, you're ready to go, the sooner the better. Elder Tianqing instructed.
Xu Qingfeng and the three of them all nodded, they had already prepared in the past three days.
"I didn't expect the three of us to separate so soon. Qi Zhengxiu said with emotion.
He and Qin Li have been fighting together for more than four years, although they have only been with Xu Qingfeng for one year, but the three of them have experienced life and death together, and they have long had a deep relationship.
"yes, I'm still a little reluctant. Qin Li's eyes were also a little red.
Xu Qingfeng is even more so, these two are like the elders in his own family, which makes him feel warm. "Two senior brothers, see you in the valley of the two realms in March, and we will not get drunk or return by then. ”
Xu Qingfeng took the lead in hugging his fists, and Qi Zhengxiu and the two also hugged their fists, nodding solemnly.
"See you in March!"
After that, the three of them went their separate ways, rushing to the place where they needed to be stationed.
Xu Qingfeng turned into a blue light and flashed across the sky, and in the sky, Xu Qingfeng took a deep look at Nanhaiguan, and then disappeared.
........................
On a wide official road in the middle of Zhongzhou.
Crowds of people were hurrying at this time.
Ox carts and horse-drawn carts were relatively rare, and most of the things were pulled by the prime of life, while women, children, and old people followed the procession to their destination with fewer salutes.
"It is said that there was already a migration in the south last year, but I didn't expect it to be our turn this time. A middle-aged man carrying a lot of baggage, also holding a salute in his hand, said to the fat man beside him.
"Yes, this time we are going to "Dongqiguan", the distance is still far away, let's hurry slowly. The fat man wiped a handful of sweat as he spoke.
The middle-aged man sighed: "This world is not peaceful, and we, the common people, have suffered the most." ”
"What can I do, it's good to survive!" said the fat man.
"Yes, it's better to be alive than anything else!" said the middle-aged man.
The group rushed forward in groups, looking from high in the sky, like a long black line, constantly extending forward.
There was a person standing in the air high in the sky, it was Xu Qingfeng, who came not long ago.
"There are so many people who have migrated. Xu Qingfeng looked at the long line and sighed. "In the past few days, no people from the demon clan have come to attack and kill, if they dare to come, they will definitely have no return!"
Immediately, Xu Qingfeng's figure disappeared directly into the air and flew forward.
