Come back!

Finally back!

Under the escort of the Jindan stage cultivator Yi Feifan, Wang Cheng and others finally returned to the territory of the cultivator safely.

The Jindan monk is worthy of being a Jindan monk. When Yi Feifan took them back from outside the battlefields of both sides, he sometimes passed through the area where the third-level monsters and the third-level barbarian warlocks were in charge. When the nearest, he was even less than a hundred miles away from the other party.

It is really exciting that they can still return safely under such circumstances.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I have asked you for inquiries. You Qingyun Sect people are now stationed in the third line of defense in the rear. You can choose to go there to meet with them, or you can stay on the front line to kill the enemy."

"In order to fight the invasion of the demon barbarian coalition, the sect has also offered good reward measures to you vassals. As long as you kill a certain number of demon barbarians, you can not only get merit points for various physical rewards, including advanced martial arts, but also reduce some taxes that you need to pay in the future."

As one of the major command centers on the frontline battlefield, Wang Cheng and others who came back from behind were treated separately after they were brought here.

Wang Cheng and Xu Jinfeng were temporarily left in a small courtyard on the mountain and were not allowed to move without authorization.

Yan Ying and Zheng Lun, two inner disciples of Longshan Academy, were taken by Yi Feifan to meet other Jindan-stage cultivators and explained the situation.

Half a day later, Yan Yingcai returned to the courtyard where Wang Cheng and his two lived, bringing them the information they wanted.

"Thank you for your care of fellow Taoist Yan. Let's go back and meet with the monks of this sect first. It's not too late to apply to the battlefield command after Wang goes back and meets with the monks of this sect."

Wang Cheng bowed to Yan Ying and told his choice.

Although he has only left the sect for less than two months so far.

However, what he experienced during this wild trip made him feel tired after leaving for a year or two.

So now he just wants to return to his familiar brothers, take a good rest for a while, and then think about other things.

After explaining to Yan Ying that she made a choice, Wang Cheng and Xu Jinfeng quickly left the front line command center under her personal sent each other and followed the map to the so-called third line of defense.

The so-called third line of defense is the last line of defense formed by Longshan Academy with more than a dozen small sects facing the border area.

This line of defense is actually five or six thousand miles away from the front line of the battlefield.

If the demon barbarian coalition fights here, then there will be no way out for cultivators to retreat if they are convenient.

Seven or eight thousand miles away, it is where Baixiang Mountain is located!

Wang Cheng and Xu Jinfeng were so heartbroken that they were returning home. In just two days, they rushed from the front line to the place where Qingyunmen and his group were stationed.

"Huh! Thank God, junior brothers, you finally came back safely. I'm really worried about this period!"

Where the Qingyun Sect monks were stationed, when Lin Yuanshan saw the returned Wang Cheng and Xu Jinfeng, his originally tense face suddenly relaxed, and his whole body seemed to have lifted some burden, and he was indescribably relaxed.

"Yes, I finally came back safely!"

Wang Cheng nodded with deep emotion, and then said to Lin Yuanshan: "I have troubled Senior Brother for us these days. Is there nothing wrong with the sect?"

"Thanks to your junior brother, you asked someone to plead for help and arranged for our Qingyun Sect to garrison this third line of defense. Now all the fourteen people who came from our Qingyun Sect are safe."

Lin Yuanshan said with emotion: "I heard that in the battle more than ten days ago, thirty-seven people fell on the front line, and two Jindan monks were even injured. Therefore, there were as many as two or three hundred cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and many sects suffered heavy losses!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but look at Xu Jinfeng, then bowed to Lin Yuanshan and said, "We know very little about this war. I heard that Longshan Academy has specially issued a reward bill for this war. It is just right for you to tell us about these situations so that we can have a clear idea!"

"It should be true, as the head of the sect, you must be clear about these situations. I will tell you all the news I know."

Lin Yuanshan nodded repeatedly, and immediately entered a quiet room with Wang Cheng and others, and explained in detail the various information he knew.

Although he was not on the front line battlefield and could not get first-hand news, as a preparatory fighter, he was still able to receive a front line report every few days.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no top-secret news involved, the war report will be published to facilitate the participants to understand the details of the front line.

In addition, Longshan Academy also specially released a manual for all participants, which briefly described the various means of barbarian sorcerers and corresponding methods of response.

Compared with cultivators with many means, the methods of barbarian sorcerers are actually summed up in a few ways. As long as you have a clear idea in advance and prepare some corresponding countermeasures, cultivators in the same realm can basically achieve a winning rate of more than 90% against barbarian sorcerers.

"According to the frontline battle report, the only thing worthy of attention to when the demon barbarian coalition attacks this time are those barbarian warlocks who can jointly cast spells."

"Although not all barbarian sorcerers can perform joint casting, at least 30% of those second-level barbarian sorcerers who came to attack this time have mastered the joint casting ability."

"According to actual combat tests, only twelve second-level barbarian warlocks need to jointly cast spells, and the power of the spell can reach 70% or 80% of the third-level low-level spells, which is definitely not something that a single late-stage monk can fight against."

"However, this kind of joint casting has its limit. The news we have learned is that at most eighteen second-level barbarian warlocks can jointly cast spells, and the power of the spells cast can truly be comparable to third-level spells!"

In the quiet room, Wang Cheng and the other two sat down, and the only voice of Lin Yuanshan echoed in it.

After he finished telling the information he knew, he reached out and slapped the storage bag on his waist, took out two jade slips and threw them to Wang Cheng.

"This is the Pingman manual and list of merit exchange items issued by Longshan Academy. You can take a look at it."

Of course I have to watch it.

In the next few days, Wang Cheng and Xu Jinfeng were resting in the Qingyun Sect's resident, and by the way they studied the Pingman Manual to learn about the methods of barbarian sorcerers.

After almost seven days of rest, Wang Cheng and his friends' peaceful life was broken by a transfer letter from the front line.

It turned out that after the first wave of offensive, the demon barbarian coalition was ready to launch a second wave of offensive after the manpower was fully replenished.

According to the results of the investigation by monks of Longshan Academy, the power used by the demon barbarian coalition this time will be stronger than the first wave of offensives.

So before the war started, an urgent order was issued to allow the monks from the second and third lines of defense to distribute some of them to the front line to garrison.

"This time, let the head brother, stay behind. Elder Xu and I will go."

In the room, after Lin Yuanshan read the transfer letter from the front line, he quickly looked at Wang Cheng and expressed his opinions.

He had a mature and steadfast idea and did not want Wang Cheng, the head of the sect, to take risks on the front line.

But after hearing his words, Wang Cheng immediately shook his head and said, "No, this time it should be Elder Xu who stayed behind. Senior Brother and I, go to the front line."

"The head of the sect has a good intention, I have received it both physically and mentally, but I think Elder Lin's proposal is more appropriate, and I am willing to go to the front line."

A touch of emotion flashed in Xu Jinfeng's eyes, but he quickly put the overall situation first and took the initiative to make a request to go to the front line.

"Elder Xu doesn't have to say much. Wang is definitely not using any intention, but the idea that he has after reading the list of merit value exchanges these days."

When Wang Cheng said this, he looked firmly at the two elders and continued: "We must establish some merits in this war in Qingyun Sect so that Longshan Academy can see our role. This will not only allow taxes to be reduced in the future, but will also be of great help to the future development of our sect."

With his persistence, he and Lin Yuanshan finally rushed to the front line with five Qi Refining disciples.

This time, all the late-stage qi-refining cultivators in Qingyun Sect were drawn over. The five disciples who followed Wang Cheng and his brothers to the front line were Li Zitao, Li Zitao, who was at the tenth level of Qi refining, Yang Jing, who was at the seventh level of Qi refining, Fang Renli, who was at the eighth level of Qi refining, Qin An, who was at the seventh level of Qi refining, and Xiao Yiming, who was at the seventh level of Qi refining.

Among these people, except Li Zitao and Yang Jing, the remaining three are all outer disciples.

When Wang Cheng asked them to come to the front line, he made a special promise to them that as long as whoever of them could kill five barbarian warlocks or monsters of the same level on the battlefield and accumulate fifty points of merit, they could specially promote them to inner disciples after they returned.

This requirement is quite difficult, but it is not impossible to complete.

The three of them also knew that it was difficult for them to be promoted to an inner disciple by normal methods, so they were very enthusiastic about this matter and were in high spirits.

After arriving at a front-line position called Tiexin Mountain according to the transfer order, the Qingyun Sect and a group of seven people officially joined the front-line combat camp and were incorporated into the Seventh Team of Tiexin Mountain, and under the jurisdiction of a late-stage foundation-building monk.

Tiexin Mountain is a spiritual mountain that is more than 700 feet high. There is also a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein on the mountain, and a second-level top-grade formation has been laid. There are two spiritual mountains with second-level middle-grade formations within twenty miles around. The three spiritual mountains are just connected into one piece and are mutually supportive.

At this time, there were seven teams and more than 300 monks in Tiexing Mountain, including 38 foundation-building monks, including six inner disciples of Longshan Academy.

Because Wang Cheng himself is the head of Qingyun Sect and a mid-stage cultivator in the foundation building, after being assigned to the Seventh Team, he also obtained the status of a deputy captain, who can independently command the six Qingyun Sect members and accept the dispatch and command of the captain above.

The place where their seventh team was stationed was not Tiexue Mountain, but a spiritual mountain 17 miles east of Tiexue Mountain, called Xiaoxiong Mountain.

There are two teams stationed in Xiaoxiong Mountain, namely the Sixth and Seventh Teams. The commander-in-chief is a disciple of the inner sect of Longshan Academy in the middle stage of foundation building, and he himself is the captain of the Sixth Team.

Wang Cheng didn't know who the name Xiao Xiongshan was chosen, and he didn't pay attention to it.

What he cares about is how to fight the next war.

"Based on the experience of fighting with the Yaoman Alliance last time, if there is no accident this time, they will divide their troops and remove Lingshan strongholds in our frontline positions first."

"The third-level barbarian sorcerers and third-level monsters among the demon barbarians have their own golden elixir uncles to deal with, so what we have to deal with is the army of monsters with second-level barbarian sorcerers and second-level monsters as the core."

"Although there are many monsters, we have a formation support, and we have a rich reserve of spirit stones, which is not afraid of it."

"What really needs to worry about the dike is the barbarian sorcerer. If there are more than a dozen second-level barbarian sorcerers who jointly cast spell attacks, and if there are other monsters and barbarians to assist in the attack, even the second-level top-grade formation in Tiexiong Mountain will not last for a day!"

"So, if that happens, we must risk sending people out to raid and kill the spell-casting barbarian warlocks, and we cannot allow them to continue casting spells to attack the mountain protection formation!"

In a stone house on Xiaoxiong Mountain that serves as a command center, Wang Cheng, who was summoned to participate in the pre-war meeting, was listening carefully to the commander-in-chief on the main seat to explain the combat plan.

The commander-in-chief is named Wang Xiu. It is said that he is also a commanding talent. He has had the experience of commanding hundreds of people to fight many times. He also performed well in the previous war.

The war between cultivators and mortal wars are of course different.

Except for the great expansion era, the Yuanlongxing cultivation world would gather hundreds of thousands of cultivators and demons to fight with demons, most of the time, the number of people participating in the war will not exceed 10,000.

Therefore, it is impossible to apply the thinking method of mortal war to the world of cultivation to the war.

Although Longshan Academy responded in a hurry this time, in a hurry, it still summoned tens of thousands of cultivators to send them to the front line.

However, the place where tens of thousands of cultivators need to protect is a front line of six or seven thousand miles long and dozens of Lingshan strongholds.

In this case, even the best commander is impossible to conduct overall command.

In addition to some general direction commands, real battlefield command can only be completed by commanders from all frontline strongholds.

Every frontline stronghold is a small battlefield, and the command of the battlefield commander determines the outcome of the war.

At this time, after listening to Wang Xiu's combat plan, Wang Cheng, who participated in the meeting for the first time, couldn't help but say: "Fellow Dao Wang, barbarian sorcerers are not idiots, especially the white barbarian sorcerers are more famous for their wisdom. They would not have expected that we would raid those barbarian sorcerers who jointly cast spells. If they use this as bait to lure us into risking out of the formation, aren't we trapped?"

"It turns out it's the leader of the Qingyun Sect."

Wang Xiu glanced at Wang Cheng, showed him a kind smile, and then nodded slightly and said, "Zheng Wang asked this question well, so when we implement the specific plan, we must take advantage of the situation and observe the enemy's movements and the distribution of the enemy."

"If the enemy wants to lure the snake out of the hole, we will also use our tricks and attack the second-level barbarian warlocks and monsters that scattered among the enemy."

Speaking of this, he said with a serious expression: "We cannot give up this Xiaoxiong Mountain position, but we must give up even if we give up. If this position can be exchanged for the death of more than a dozen second-level barbarian warlocks and second-level monsters, it would be a good loss!"

So that's it. Is Longshan Academy planning to use the strongholds on the front line to consume the spirit and strength of the demon barbarian coalition, and then fight the remaining demon barbarian coalition on the back line?

I exchanged space for time, and delayed step by step until the reinforcements mobilized by Longshan Academy from the rear cultivation world arrived. This move was very wonderful.

But in this way, our small sects like Qingyun Sect will suffer heavy losses in this war of attrition!
Chapter completed!
