Chapter 144 Breakout

Perhaps it was the resolute actions of the soldiers. The moment Xu Yuan finished speaking, Captain Wang shouted loudly outside the house:

"Come here!"

"Squeak——"

The old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open from the outside almost instantly. The adjutant standing outside came to the front of the hall and knelt down half-kneeling down, cupping his fists and saying:

"General Wang, what are your orders?"

Captain Wang stood up and briefly arranged his work:

"Immediately take people to the City Defense Department to check the operation of various formations in the city, and inform He Xinchuan to lead the Second Battalion to be ready to go out of the city to meet Li Shengwu at any time."

"."

The adjutant's eyes were a little stunned. Although he didn't know the reason, he just accepted the order with his fists clasped:

"Yes!"

"Go down."

As soon as he finished speaking, the adjutant didn't stop at all. He directly used the military skills and flew away outside.

Captain Wang stopped when he reached the door and glanced back at Xu Yuan in the room:

"Mr. Zhou, Wang is temporarily excused."

"Captain Wang, please excuse me. My senior sister and I will go back to the inn first. If something happens to the city defense array, Captain Wang can send someone to inform me."

The night is getting darker.

Two hours later.

Under the leadership of the general he had seen before, Xu Yuan climbed onto the city wall of Shengshan County.

Compared with the 20-foot tall city wall of Jingjiang Prefecture, the city wall of Shengshan County can only be regarded as a small earth bag.

Three feet and four feet long, the hard bluestone remains with the aftermath of the battle, pits and holes dug, and even formation patterns can be seen exposed in some places.

Following the general without saying a word, Xu Yuan could see that the burly middle-aged man's face was so gloomy that he could cry.

It looks like something happened.

Shrouded by the phantom fog formation, there is no moonlight in the sky, and there is only the flickering light of the bonfire on the city wall.

After marching silently for a distance and using his skills a little, Xu Yuan saw several generals in military uniforms at the end of the city wall, including Captain Wang.

When several generals standing on the city wall saw Xu Yuan coming, they looked him up and down and left in silence. Only Colonel Wang came forward to greet him.

After standing still, Captain Wang still got straight to the point:

"Mr. Zhou, Wang will confirm with you again, do you really have no direct evidence to prove that the Wanxiang Sect wants to massacre the city?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he shook his head slightly:

"It is impossible for the Wanxiang Sect to leave direct evidence for this kind of thing. You should not understand, Wang Xiaowei."

Colonel Wang was quiet for a moment and sighed longly:

"That's true."

Xu Yuan looked sideways outside the city.

Standing on this side of the city wall, you can clearly see the Shengshan border troops forming a military formation outside the city, slaughtering the group of monster beasts drawn from the phantom fog formation:

"Captain Wang, how is the situation now?"

Lieutenant Wang pondered for a moment and looked at the military formation over there:

"There are more than double the number of monsters in the magic fog formation than in previous years."

"No, I mean the communication wafer."

Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

If the communication crystal can still function, then he can wave people over.

In response to his question, Colonel Wang remained silent and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed.

Judging from the other party's reaction, the communication crystal has probably failed.

In other words, today's Shengshan County has completely cut off all contact with the outside world and has become an out-and-out isolated city.

However, Xu Yuan felt that if only the communication crystal failed, Captain Wang would not show such a look:

"Is there something wrong with the city defense formation too?"

"Yes."

Colonel Wang's voice was low, and he looked at the formation patterns on the city wall with a helpless sigh:

"The spiritual energy pool of the city defense formation has been tampered with, and now the energy level of the entire formation is only 20%."

"Where's the Phantom Mist Formation?"

"There is a problem with the formation's control pattern. Now we cannot control the formation."

"."

Xu Yuan frowned, pondered slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"When Xu Xinyao was carving the formation, weren't your Shengshan frontier troops the first to control the formation?"

Although the materials for building the formation were provided by the Wanxiang Sect, when it comes to matters such as the lives of the people in a city, the fourth sister should not be stupid enough to leave it to the sect to control such a principled issue.

Captain Wang was silent for a moment and said:

"According to the formation drawings given by Miss Xu, our Shengshan County frontier troops are indeed the first to control the formation."

"So the drawings were secretly changed?" Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Xu Xinyao should not make such a low-level mistake."

"Bang!"

Colonel Wang punched the city battlement with his fist clenched tightly:

"They probably did it after Miss Xu left!"

"After leaving?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Colonel Wang's tone was filled with helplessness:

"When something happened to Miss Xu's third brother, Miss Xu had to leave before the Magic Mist Formation was completed. It was probably during the final completion period that the formation masters of the Wanxiang Sect secretly changed the formation diagram left by Miss Xu.

."

"."

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Even if she doesn't leave, the result will be the same. As long as the Wanxiang Sect doesn't give up the plan of creating ghost mist, it's just a difference between earlier and later."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan changed the topic and asked directly:

"So, Colonel Wang, what do you want to do when you come to me now?"

"."

A moment of silence,

Captain Wang rubbed his hands and his loud voice became a little hesitant:

"Master Zhou, can you and your senior sister help me in Shengshan County? We will pay you."

Xu Yuan was not surprised by Captain Wang’s request.

Now that the city is isolated and helpless, having a third-grade grandmaster to help plunder the formation is like giving timely help in the current situation.

However, Xu Yuan was not in a hurry to agree. He looked at the Shengshan border troops fighting bloody battles outside the city and whispered:

"Captain Wang, are you preparing to defend the city?"

"."

This question seemed to stop Captain Wang. He looked at him and said with slight hesitation:

"The opening of the Illusory Mist Formation is getting bigger and bigger, and now a thousand monster beasts are flowing out every hour. At this rate, tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, there will be more than 3,000 monster beasts flowing out of it every hour.

, the military array cannot kill them, so we can only rely on the city wall array to defend."

Xu Yuan shook his head gently and asked:

"Captain Wang, do you think you can hold on?

"Or do you think the Wanxiang Sect will let you guard Shengshan County?"

"." Colonel Wang was silent.

Xu Yuan sighed and whispered:
