The first thousand three hundred and ninety-six chapters come again
Li Jiuyou stood at the top of the city, frowning deeply as he looked at the dark demonic figures appearing in front of him!
The current situation in the Western Region is that everything from Jiuyou City to the west is under the control of the demons, and Jiuyou City is forced to become the first frontline!
The awkward geographical location makes Jiuyou City dumbfounded, but it is helpless. Blackstone, which was once the number one, was extremely prosperous and daunting, but now it makes people live in fear every day, worrying about when the Netherworld Demon Clan will attack again!
For example, tonight, even the spies they sent out were not noticed!
From a new perspective, the geographical location of Jiuyou City is not bad. It is located in the second half of the Western Region from east to west. It can be said to be the hinterland. It is not at the forefront. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Otherwise, the city would not have been built here and it would have stood for thousands of years!
They just haven't encountered an opponent who can come here from the opposite direction of the wild jungle, making their excellent geographical location instantly become extremely embarrassing!
Li Jiuyou looked at the powerful enemy that appeared in front of him. The last time the opponent appeared, there were powerful human allies around them, but now they were alone, and the enemy seemed to have become even stronger!
Li Jiuyou could feel the aura coming out of it, which was ridiculously powerful. Li Jiuyou was a practitioner of swordsmanship and had always been very confident. Now, with those auras, he knew just by feeling that he was not
opponent!
Confidence is not arrogance. It can provide useful assistance when you defeat similar opponents, but it cannot help you cross that insurmountable gap!
Li Jiuyou just couldn't figure out why those things suddenly appeared here. Shouldn't they have been in the Central Territory all along?
It's useless to think about the reasons now. If they can appear here, Jiuyou City will be in trouble tonight!
Li Jiuyou looked at the city wall that had stood for thousands of years under his feet, and frowned deeply. He didn't want it to be cut off in his own hands, but he was completely mentally unsure!
It is not enough for them to rely on themselves alone!
"Immediately send a message to the Holy Book Goddess and General Shang to come to support. In addition, notify all the forces in the Western Region that can come, asking them to put down everything and come to support our Jiuyou City and tell them that the demon clan has changed.
, this is not only related to the life and death of our Jiuyou City, but if Jiuyou City is gone, the entire Western Region will fall!"
Li Jiuyou told his men that he had never liked asking for help from others, and now he had to put down his arrogance!
Whether Jiuyou City can be saved depends on how long they can hold on before other support arrives!
"Reporting to the city lord, I have just received the news that the Holy Book Goddess and others stationed in Fengyuan County have started fighting with the merchants for some unknown reason. The fight between the two sides is now going on!"
"What?"
The subordinate's words made Li Jiuyou open his eyes wide!
"Why did they fight?"
Even a great sage in the city couldn't help but ask questions, because it was so outrageous, even at this juncture!
"This subordinate really doesn't know and is going to investigate!"
The subordinate replied again!
Li Jiuyou's brows furrowed even deeper. At this juncture, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. It was the time when they needed support most!
"Li Feng, my father can't leave. You can go as fast as possible for my father, ask what's going on, and ask them to stop now no matter what the reason is, and come to our Jiuyou City to fight against the enemy. Otherwise, if
If I don’t come, if I, Li Jiuyou, can survive tonight, I will definitely settle this debt with them in the future!”
After thinking about it, Li Jiuyou said to a middle-aged man next to him, that was his eldest son Li Feng, and he was also a strong man who had reached the True Saint level. Even if Li Jiuyou couldn't go there in person, he still had enough weight.
Got it!
"Yes, father, you must hold on until I come back!"
Without saying much, Li Feng took two of the saint's men and turned into a ray of light and flew out!
Li Jiuyou looked outside the city again. It was raining all night, and he could vaguely smell an ominous premonition!
Outside Jiuyou City, Queen Ferdi and the powerful demons stood on a battleship, also looking at the city in the night!
Magnificent and solid, the surroundings are impregnable, and this is exactly what they want, otherwise they would not come here!
"By taking Jiuyou City, we can use it as a stronghold to strengthen the defenses and build a demon city of our own to fight a protracted war with the human race until there is a turning point!" said Demon Queen Ferdi!
Since they secretly retreated from the Central Region to the Western Region, the demons, whose strength has been greatly reduced, have two options. One is to continue to stay in the territory of the human race and face their subsequent encirclement and suppression. The other is to retreat into the wild and dense forests and use the natural
Geographical conditions to avoid direct confrontation with the human race, and then continue to accumulate strength, waiting for opportunities to counterattack!
Of the two options, the first is undoubtedly very risky!
Once the human race wins the victory in the central region, they will definitely gather a large army and come to encircle and suppress them. There is no doubt that the demon race, except for the eight-headed ancient demon king, is still alive, and there are not many cards in their hands that they can play!
In a duel between the two sides, facing the human army, it is difficult to have any advantage!
The second option is to retreat to the wild and dense forest, which is relatively safer. Even the human race would find it difficult to carry out large-scale operations there. It is relatively easier for the demon race to maintain the status quo!
But after discussion, Queen Ferdi and other powerful demons chose the former and continued to stay in the human territory!
Because retreating into the wild and dense forest, although it is relatively easy to maintain the status quo, it is difficult for them to develop. The resources they need, whether it is to strengthen their strength or to build a new space channel, are in short supply.
!
If you don't get reinforcements, you will still die. What's more, the threat from the wild beasts in the wild and dense forest is no less than that of the human race!
After weighing the pros and cons, the demons still chose to stay in the human territory. They also knew that their current strength was not enough to have more head-on confrontations with the humans!
Therefore, they need a fortress, a fortress that can provide them with a long-term rivalry with humans!
In the art of war, it is much easier to defend than to attack!
The previous demons had always been in an offensive state. Even if they occupied certain areas and cities, they had not established their own fortress-level defenses. At most, they had only slightly modified them!
Things are different now. The demon fortress they want to build is much stronger than before. But before that, they need a prototype, so Jiuyou City was targeted!
The city they couldn't take down last time must be taken down this time. After that, this place will be dark and become a forbidden area for humans and a base for demons!
