The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became a little depressing.
The strong man's words made everyone's faces look a little ugly, and they started drinking.
Since the appearance of the demons from outside the world, these dignitaries in Xueman City have been extremely nervous and have made great efforts to collect information in this regard.
As more and more information is obtained, their fear of the demons from outside the world becomes more and more serious!
This group of races is said to come from the outer world. They indeed have many powerful methods. Regardless of their cultivation level or weapons and equipment, they are enough to crush the natives of this world.
If their foundation was not stable, their number was limited, and they had been entrenched in Hewang Village for a generation, I am afraid that the powerful people in Xueman City would have left here long ago with their family property.
Even if this would cause huge losses, it would be nothing compared to the destruction of the foundation.
However, with the formation of demon-slaying legions in various places, and the major indigenous forces considering the demons from outside the world as their inevitable targets, the dignitaries in Xueman City suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, thinking that Holy Dragon City could not withstand such strangulation at all!
In this case, there is no need for them to take risks and evacuate their industries from Xueman City.
But a series of things that happened later made the hearts of these powerful people anxious again.
First, spies and adventurers continued to disappear near Hewang Village, and then Balgruuf led troops to conquer the demons from outside the world, but was frightened by the opponent's powerful methods.
Balgruuf, who has always been known for his tough tactics, can only set up camp outside the boundaries set by the demons outside the world, and does not dare to cross the boundaries at all!
The news spread back to Xueman City, immediately disappointing the dignitaries who were waiting for the news.
As a result, within a few days, Xueman City, which was completely guarded, was completely turned upside down.
Even the castle of Balgruuf was completely burned down by fire. It can be said that the losses were heavy!
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this incident may appear to be the work of indigenous monks, but in fact it has something to do with the demons from outside the world.
Perhaps the Demon Clan used this method to retaliate against Balgruuf's actions.
But those powerful people were also unlucky, and a turmoil in Xueman City caused their industries to suffer considerable losses.
All these losses were naturally pushed to the Demon Clan. Therefore, these dignitaries in Xueman City had a grudge against the Demon Clan to some extent!
But if it is because of this small loss, fighting the demons from outside the world is not worth it, and it may even cause more losses.
It is in their interests to watch the fire from the other side.
Nowadays, these dignitaries are participating in the battle to defend the city. In fact, part of the reason is that the arrival of Holy Dragon City was too sudden and the troops were sent out too quickly, leaving these Xueman City dignitaries no time to respond.
In addition, Balgruuf used both soft and hard tactics, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed to the request to help defend the city.
As for whether these dignitaries really risk their lives to protect Xueman City when the battle occurs, that depends on the situation!
…
It was noon, with the scorching sun in the sky, and a long convoy was slowly marching. It was the First Legion of the Holy Dragon City that was setting out to conquer Xueman City.
To be precise, this army belongs to the First Army of the First Army, the ace army of Shenglong City!
The Loucheng warriors in this army have at least the strength of third-level monks. In ordinary low-level Loucheng, they are all qualified to join the monk team.
But in Holy Dragon City, the strength of the third-level monk can only become an ordinary Loucheng soldier in the first army!
As for today's monk team, it is completely composed of lord-level monks, which can be called the elite among the elite!
It is precisely for this reason that the number of monks in the Holy Dragon City monk team has suffered a significant shrinkage, but it has become more capable!
Now the First Legion is also followed by a team of dozens of monks. Once they join the battlefield, they will definitely become the enemy's nightmare!
Relying on these powerful Loucheng residents and various sophisticated equipment, there is little suspense about the outcome of the battle.
However, this powerful army is now having a headache due to the bad roads under its feet.
The roads in this world are only suitable for primitive vehicles such as horse-drawn carriages. Not only are they rugged, but their width is also extremely limited, which greatly reduces the marching speed of the Holy Dragon City Legion.
If the chariots of Shenglong City were not specially designed to adapt to many harsh terrains, otherwise the traveling speed would be much slower.
But if this happens, I might not be able to get to Xueman City within the scheduled time.
Tyson didn't take this to heart. After all, Tang Zhen didn't set a time limit. He just wanted to capture Xueman City as soon as possible.
"General, I heard that we in Loucheng are researching a space carrier that can deliver large numbers of troops over long distances. I wonder when it will be put into use?
It's more comfortable to fly in the sky, but marching on this kind of road will almost knock you apart!"
A young Holy Dragon City officer turned his head and asked Tyson.
"You won't be able to use that kind of thing in a short period of time, so don't think about it, just just sit in the car obediently!"
Tyson replied casually, but his eyes stayed on the holographic screen in front of him, reading the collected military information, and constantly making gestures based on the map.
As the commander of the legion, he must know this information well.
But by looking at the contents of this map, you can gain an insight into the battle plan of Holy Dragon City. Obviously, they will not be satisfied with a place like Xueman Territory.
In fact, Tang Zhen's goal is to directly control the entire Tianji Province to facilitate subsequent plundering operations.
As for controlling the entire continent, although Tang Zhen has the ability to do it, he cannot govern it at all, so he has no plans in this area yet.
What's more, for the current Shenglong City, the resources of one province are enough to satisfy the appetite!
His eyes wandered around the map, and Tyson's eyes finally landed on Xueman City.
Through the real-time reconnaissance video sent back by the high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance drone, Tyson could clearly see that Xueman City was now heavily guarded, and the city walls were covered with densely packed soldiers.
But using this method of defending the city against Holy Dragon City is simply risking death!
If Balgruuf was smart enough to break all the soldiers into pieces and hide in the city buildings and mountains and forests to launch a surprise attack, he might cause some trouble for himself.
But now...
It is estimated that after a wave of attacks, the walls of Xueman City will turn blood red!
Just as Tyson was concentrating on thinking, a burst of rapid gunshots suddenly came from ahead, making him frown slightly.
"Why are there gunshots? What happened?"
Following Tyson's inquiry, a soldier soon reported back. It turned out that the troops leading the way were ambushed by indigenous monks. There were about a hundred people in total, and they had been cleared!
"What is the origin of the indigenous monk?"
Tyson raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"Based on the items collected from the corpses, these ambushers should be believers of some indigenous god, and their behavior during the battle was very crazy!"
Tyson nodded and his expression returned to its usual indifferent look.
The believers of these indigenous gods are the primary targets of Holy Dragon City to be wary of, because compared with those indigenous forces, they are more stubborn and difficult to deal with. With the support and encouragement of the gods behind them, they can do any crazy things.
Holy Dragon City, whose goal is to collect the origin of the world and hunt down the indigenous gods, will inevitably have to deal with these believers in the future, and they will be the kind to see blood!
"Be vigilant and speed up. I will arrive at Xueman City early tomorrow morning!"
As Tyson's order was issued, the army's speed accelerated a bit again, and they continued to approach their destination!
