Chapter 533 We don't want population, we only want holy beasts
"Wanliuchuan is your friend, not mine. If I have to choose between your life and hers, what do you think I will choose?"
Wan Lei sighed and said no more. He looked up at the sky. The purple rain was getting bigger and bigger, with no tendency to stop or decrease. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth had completely disappeared. They could not obtain any natural energy to replenish it.
The consumption since the war can only rely on the spiritual stones in the storage bag.
But based on their cultivation level, the number of spiritual stones needed to restore their cultivation level is probably a huge amount.
The worried Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were about to reach their tent when they suddenly heard a fierce quarrel in the distance.
Looking closely, the sound came from the big tent.
The two of them walked over and entered the tent. They saw the three leaders Deng Yange, Yan Yangejun and Wuliangshu arguing so hard that their faces turned red and their necks thickened. Looking at their positions, Dengyange was on the same side and Yan Yangejun was on the same side.
It is the opposite of Wuliangshu.
"What's wrong? Is it so noisy?"
As soon as Wan Leifang entered the big tent, he spoke directly.
"Meet the gods."
When the three of them saw this, they immediately stopped arguing and bowed.
Wan Lei's performance today has once again enhanced his status in the hearts of the three indigenous people, especially the tribe's people, who regard Wan Lei as a god one by one.
"Tell me what's going on."
Wan Lei pulled Fang Xiaoyu and sat down on his own, with the three of them standing in a row in front of him.
Seeing the three people hesitating to speak, Wan Lei smiled,
"Salt is harsh, you say."
"As commanded. God, old man Deng Yange proposes to abandon all the old, weak, women and children of our tribe, including the wounded, leaving only the young and strong, and rush to the Great Wall with all our strength."
"How can you do this? Those people are also members of the tribe, how can you just abandon them?"
Wan Lei was extremely disgusted with this behavior of abandoning his companions.
When Dengyange heard this, his face was filled with grievances, he held his hands and said,
"I also have difficulties. Now we are moving too slowly. The old, weak, women and children have seriously slowed down our progress. It is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Great Wall. How many years and months can we reach it? We have already walked half of it.
It's been a month, do you think you have traveled more than a thousand miles?"
"You fart, you want to abandon the old and the weak, women and children, because there are no old and weak in your tribe at all. You are the tribe within the Great Wall. This time you come to the land of destiny to fight us. You must be young and strong.
.
But what about us? We, the Yanko Tribe and the Uliang Tribe, are both local aborigines. If you throw away the old, weak, women and children with a single word, those left behind are all our tribesmen. Not a single one of your tribesmen is missing. You are like this
The old guy has no good intentions!"
"I think you are just farting. Don't you know how fast we are traveling now? There are already so many of you, old, weak, women and children, but this time you are fighting with most of Bai Ze. They are all here.
During the battle, their soldiers rushed to the front, and the old and weak stayed behind. When the war was over, all the soldiers died. We captured more than 5,000 soldiers, but there were more than 20,000 old and weak.
These people cannot make any contribution during the battle, but instead waste food to feed them.
Now we don’t have many holy beasts to pull goods, and there have been so many old and weak people all of a sudden. They can only walk on the ground, but they can walk on their own, can’t they walk thirty miles a day?
During the battle, when the enemy makes a surprise attack, we have to protect them.
Now let's do the math. The total population of all our troops is more than 10,000 soldiers, and there are more than 20,000 old and weak people. On average, one soldier has to protect two people.
Fighting? Fighting! We don’t need others to fight, we have to drag ourselves down!"
Deng Yange's beard was blowing, he sat on a stool and took a long sip of wine.
Hearing this, Yan Qianjun and Wu Liangshu stopped talking and sat down one after another, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
It's not like the two of them don't understand these truths, but who could be so cruel as to abandon their clansmen and their relatives?
"How long will it take for Purple Rain to completely submerge the land of Yuming?"
Wan Lei thought for a long time and asked this most critical question.
"According to past historical records, it usually takes three to five years."
"Then based on our current progress, how long will it take to walk to the Great Wall?"
"Well... if we are ruthless and let more low-level holy beasts pull the cart, and let the old, weak, women and children get on the cart, we can travel a hundred miles in a day...
It takes thirteen years to reach the Great Wall."
"Thirteen years?!"
Wan Lei's eyes widened, and his face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
"Yes, it's almost half a million miles away. When we came, we traveled lightly and rode the fastest holy beasts, and it took us three full years to get there.
There are so many old, weak, women and children now that we can't move fast at all. Thirteen years is still a conservative number. If we continue to encounter battles and increase the number of old, weak, women and children, we may have to sacrifice a generation to get there."
"Is that sacrificing a generation? That is sacrificing everyone. No one can even reach the Great Wall."
Wan Lei glared at Deng Yange fiercely, but suddenly thought that it was the man who had just proposed to abandon the old, weak, women and children and rush to the Great Wall as quickly as possible.
"Does it...do we really have to abandon the old, weak, sick and disabled?"
Wan Lei dragged his chin and tapped his fingers on the table repeatedly. Every tap seemed to hit the hearts of the other three people.
Fang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then said,
“But the question is, even if we abandon the old, weak, sick and disabled, will we definitely be able to reach the Great Wall within three years?
When you came here, you were riding the fastest holy beast. It was downhill again, and the speed must be fast. But when you go back, it is all uphill, and the speed is slow. There are so many enemies eyeing us. The tribes who are coveting our heads in the Mahayana period will definitely not.
few.
At that time, after fierce battles, our progress will be dragged down."
"well……"
There was another sigh.
Wan Lei once again felt his own powerlessness. He originally thought that he had the strength, combat power, and formations to lead a small tribe back to the Great Wall. But now he has experienced it and realized that there are so many problems.
Unable to resolve.
After being silent for a long while, Wan Lei gritted his teeth.
"Abandon Bai Ze's troops who were captured this time. We will only take three of your troops and take away all the holy beasts. This is an important combat force."
"Really?"
Deng Yange's eyes were bright, but they soon dimmed.
"There will be another battle later. All the captured enemies and sacred beasts will be taken away. If there are any soldiers who want to follow us, they can do so. The old, weak, sick and disabled will not be allowed to do so. Let them... fend for themselves."
It is said that it is self-destruction, but in fact it is a dead end.
Without them, those people would be doomed to be swallowed by the seawater in the place where they are destined to live.
"That's all it can do."
Climbing the rock to sing, Yan Qingjun, and Wu Liangshu all sighed.
