Lying on the large and soft bed, Xiaomai was thinking about his next plan. The current situation was really too difficult.
It is impossible to rely on these three small cities alone to protect themselves, let alone attack.
How to survive in adversity is the biggest problem facing Xiaomai. Thinking about Xiaomai, he can't help but fall asleep. He is really tired these days.
Longmen City is a typical small city with a population of only tens of thousands. The next morning, Xiaomai got up early and went to survey the surroundings of Longmen City to become familiar with the terrain around the city.
Longmen City is surrounded by plains and there is no danger to defend. At the eastern end of the Southern Territory is the Hengduan Mountains, which is difficult even for cultivators to cross. Only those who have reached the Zhuanyuan realm can fly over the Hengduan Mountains.
In the evening, the city lords of Jun'an City and Lumba City have arrived
Reach the main palace of Longmen City.
In the meeting hall, Wheat was sitting in the center, while the three major city lords were sitting on both sides.
Xiaomai said directly: "I think the three of you also understand the current situation in the southern region. The West Route Army was defeated, the East Route Army retreated to the Secret City, and our three cities have become isolated cities."
"If the Central Army of the Secret City can defeat the Dark Alliance Army, then we will have no worries here. Otherwise, if the Central Army is defeated, then we will become someone else's fish and meat, and we will be slaughtered by others."
"The Lord of Jun'an City and the Lord of Lumba City, I now have formal military control over your two cities, so resources are tilted towards the army. I hope you two understand the powerful relationship between them."
"Also, please report how small the number of armies in each city is now."
"Longmen City, there are 2,000 soldiers in black and 210 soldiers in red." Mu Ling said awkwardly.
"Jun'an City, there are 1,500 soldiers in black and 180 soldiers in red."
"Barren City, there are 1,200 soldiers in black and 110 soldiers in red."
When Xiaomai heard about the number of soldiers in the three cities, he really felt pitiful. But it was no wonder that they had such small soldiers. In a small border town, it was rare to have such a small number of soldiers.
"Three city lords, please transfer all your troops to Longmen City for unified training by me. At the same time, you will issue a recruitment announcement, explaining that it is related to the life and death of the three cities. I hope you can join the army enthusiastically."
"At the same time, the newly joined soldiers are well-paid. I will pay for the military salary. You only need to be responsible for the military rations."
"The three city lords will immediately supervise the recruitment matters and adjourn the meeting."
After the meeting, the three city lords also hurriedly went to supervise the recruitment matters.
Xiaomai went to Yanling and asked if there was any news from the Secret City. After all, sixteen days had passed, and the war was full of ever-changing information.
"Sir, I haven't received any news from Commander Huben yet," Yan Ling replied.
No news, no news, it’s really painful. I hope they can hold on for a little longer.
Three days later, Mai ordered the troops who were on vacation to return to strengthen training. After three days of rest, the morale of the troops was not so low.
Two days later, the three major city lords arrived with newly recruited soldiers, 15,500 soldiers in black and 1,500 soldiers in red. The cultivation level of the red soldiers was not high, almost all were around level 30 to 40, and some were over level 20.
.
There is no way, it is already good to recruit so many soldiers in remote areas.
Wheat now has 2,500 red-coated soldiers and more than 20,000 black-coated soldiers. The only thing that can be done now is to strengthen training. Going to the battlefield without systematic training does not mean losing lives.
On the same day, Yan Ling finally received the long-awaited news. Commander Huben sent news that the Central Army of the Alliance in the City of Honey had added another 100,000 troops. In terms of military strength, it was already on par with the Alliance of Darkness and had now entered the battlefield.
A tug-of-war. Neither side can do anything to the other.
This is undoubtedly good news, and Xiaomai also reported the situation here one by one in letters.
Now it is necessary to speed up the training of new recruits. The battlefield is changing rapidly and time waits for no one. At the same time, the three cities are also ordered to step up the casting of weapons, armor and baggage.
Next, Xiaomai gave all the army training time to several captains of Maizi Camp to train, and he also had to seize the time to practice.
In the period since graduation, Wheat's level has reached level 92, which is still some distance away from level 100. If he reaches level 100, his strength will be a qualitative leap.
Taking advantage of this free time, Xiaomai rushed to the Hengduan Mountains to find out what was going on. He wanted to see why the mountains that could not be crossed below level 100 held any secrets.
Looking from a distance, you can see endless mountains reaching into the clouds just in front of you, like a wall that is as high as unreachable.
Climbing across the Broken Mountain Range is the sphere of influence of the Dark Alliance. This is really a natural barrier.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, Xiaomai really felt that he was too small.
The foothills of the Hengduan Mountains are lush virgin forests. The vegetation becomes sparser as you go up, and to the top of the mountain there are only bare rocks.
The wheat keeps climbing upwards. The higher it goes up, the thinner the air becomes, and the thinner the Tianyuan force becomes. The stronger the wind becomes.
When Wheat climbed to a height of 10,000 meters, even he couldn't withstand the fierce wind on the top of the mountain, and suffered many cuts on his body.
No wonder he couldn't cross the Hengduan Mountains before reaching the Zhuoyuan Realm. Wheat also retreated helplessly.
When he retreated to the foot of the mountain, Xiaomai heard the roars of many ferocious beasts in the distance. It would be troublesome if he encountered a wave of ferocious beasts.
When many ferocious beasts gathered and roared for no reason, something must have happened. The wheat artist was brave and lurked in the direction of the roaring beasts.
I saw four magical beasts surrounding a pool, including a small mountain-moving magical ape, a huge golden eagle, a magical dragon, and a magical leopard.
And in the center of the pool, there is a lotus pod growing brightly, shining with the divine light of the Tao, and there seems to be a Taoist rhyme chanting in it.
Xiaomai has never seen any lotus seeds emitting divine light like this, and attracting four ferocious beasts waiting nearby.
It's okay if you deal with one ferocious beast, but if you fight four ferocious beasts, you will definitely die.
The four ferocious beasts were not in a hurry to snatch the lotus pods, they seemed to be waiting for the lotus seeds in the lotus pods to mature.
Wheat restrained his aura and hid aside. He was waiting, waiting for the four ferocious beasts to snatch him away before he could hope to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth.
After waiting for a day and a night, the brilliance of the lotus pods began to disappear. The four ferocious beasts were preparing for the moment when the brilliance disappeared.
The demon ape took the lead and couldn't help but rushed towards the fairy lotus to snatch the lotus pod. However, the first-born one-horned demon dragon flicked its tail and caught the demon ape.
The big golden eagle also fought fiercely with the magic leopard. The huge golden eagle's sharp claws and mouth kept attacking the magic leopard. The speed of the magic leopard was really too fast, and it kept dodging the golden eagle's attacks.
The four monsters were fighting fiercely, and the surrounding trees fell down in pieces. Wheat was waiting for the right moment to snatch the fairy lotus.
The huge demonic dragon has entangled the entire body of the demonic ape, and is still shrinking here, trying to strangle the demonic ape alive.
Although the demon ape's body was tightly strangled, his hands also tightly grasped the demon dragon's head.
The golden eagle was unable to catch the leopard, and let the leopard jump on its back. Its sharp claws ripped apart its hard feathers, leaving deep scars on its back, and blood continued to flow down its feathers.
.
The demon leopard continued to bite and bit off the golden eagle's tail keel bone.
The demon ape also grabbed hold of the neck of the demon dragon and bit it. After a while, the entire demon dragon became motionless.
The Demon Ape and the Demon Leopard were left looking at each other, roaring and rushing towards each other, both sides fighting to the death.
The demon leopard jumped and bit the demon ape on the shoulder, causing the demon ape to roar incessantly.
But the demon ape also gathered a huge fist and punched the demon leopard's hind legs. Both demon beasts were seriously injured.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiaomai immediately used the skills "Frenzy" and "Amplification" to reach the ultimate speed and rushed towards the fairy lotus in the pool, picking the lotus pod in one hand.
The two monsters saw that someone had taken the lead and picked the lotus pods. They quickly abandoned each other and pursued desperately, but they were both seriously injured and their speed was greatly reduced.
Watching Xiaomai's figure retreating away, he could only roar angrily from behind.
After wheat picked the lotus pods, he ran away without looking back, for fear that the two monsters behind him would catch up. Only after escaping from the forest range of the Hengduan Mountains did wheat breathe a sigh of relief.
Wheat finally had time to take a closer look at the lotus pod in his hand. It felt no different from an ordinary lotus pod in his hand. There were seven lotus seeds in the pod, but they also had no brilliance.
Wheat can't see anything for the time being, so he'd better go back to Longmen City first.
