The soldiers who could not hold on began to fall behind in scattered stars, and later some people sneaked away. They were willing to wander in the wilderness and suffered from danger of jackals, tigers and leopards, but they were unwilling to continue. After Guanlan noticed it, he rushed to ask for Liu Chou, but the answers he received were very straightforward:

"It's okay. You can wait for the next time you rest. If you don't want to leave, stay where you are, wait for us to return, and be willing to follow and continue moving forward."

"But, if they encounter the demon clan, they will probably be unavoidable!" Guanlan said with some grudge.

Liu Chou smiled slightly, looked at Guanlan's eyes deep and calm: "Then what do you think is the purpose of me bringing them?"

Guanlan was stunned, and then he remembered the reason why Liu Chou insisted on taking the soldiers. He immediately realized that he had planned this from the beginning.

He soon arrived at the next resting place. Guanlan conveyed the meaning of Liu Chou. Sure enough, dozens of people chose to stay. So Guanlan ordered him to establish a camp here, and left a lot of food and grass, making it a good look as if he was full of supplies.

When they set out again, there were only 130 people left, and they were all elite soldiers who had been through battle formations or veterans who were familiar with the rules of the battlefield. They all gritted their teeth and chose to follow Liu Chou Guanlan and continue moving forward.

I thought that the future would continue, but what I never expected was that when the sunset was about to come, Liu Chou announced his station at the beginning and told me that I would not continue to march tonight, but that I would rest and continue until the afternoon tomorrow.

The soldiers were excited and immediately left their dissatisfaction with Liu Chou yesterday behind them, and praised his kindness. When the soldiers settled down, Guanlan found Liu Chou in a hurry and asked, "Why are there no pursuers stationed here?"

"Yes, the pursuers are far away, enough to rest for a day and reserve their physical strength." Liu Chou turned around and pointed to the distance, saying, "Walking in this direction can reach Heihuo City at most half a day, so there is no need to rush to rush."

"But didn't you say that there are monsters that are roughly the same route as me, so if you are stumped, aren't you afraid of catching up tonight?"

Liu Chou shook his head and said bluntly: "This is to deceive you. Although there are monsters on this road, they are not the same as me, so you don't need to worry about this section."

Guanlan was shocked and rushed to the scene: "Why are there many people behind when they are moving so quickly?"

"It is precisely because the demon is different from us that we need to move quickly. If we really walk on the same road, I may have saved this section instead."

"Why is this?" Guanlan said straight away: "What you want is these soldiers who fall?"

A trace of hideousness flashed in Liu Chou's eyes and said with a faint smile: "That's right! There are too few monsters going to Heihuo City, and I'm afraid I can't catch them, so I can only try my best to lure more monsters to go there. Only in this way can I accomplish anything. Without these fallen soldiers, where are the baits from?"

"..." Guanlan was greatly shocked by Liu Chou's words. At this moment, he finally understood what Liu Chou planned. He planned to use these soldiers who fell behind as bait to lure the demon army to follow their traces to Heihuo City, launch an offensive, and then follow the trend and kill the generals and others that time.

For the sake of his own desire, he did not hesitate to drag the people in the city to death. His thoughts were not only cruel, but also far-sighted. Compared with him, Guanlan was like a baby in cradles, and they were also a general, but his thoughts were completely different and there were differences.

Liu Chou saw Guanlan's shock in his eyes, and suddenly remembered the sudden move of his family in his previous life, and the pleasure of eliminating his enemies. This feeling could still make him excited in this life. Why do you have to be kind to yourself in the world?

Human life is cheap, why cherish it?

Liu Chou has no guilt at all. He is also about to die. He dies in the defense of the pass or in his own plan. Is there any difference? Anyway, they are all fates arranged by the way of heaven. Since that is the case, why do we need to classify this? What is the reason for the cause and effect, retribution, the missed retribution of heaven, the burden of humans and demons?

Bah! They are all those gods, Buddhas and saints, and the truth is to live!

After a night and half a day, the soldiers who had rested and recovered their physical strength finally started to march again. The speed of the march here was greatly slowed down. Liu Chou adjusted the speed according to the news conveyed by Jin Jing, so that the demon army would always remained about thirty miles behind him, neither far nor near, and used the large amount of breath left on the human race to lure their arrival.

When they arrived at Heihuo City, there was no increase or decrease in the 130 people behind them, and they all returned to the city, but the leader was not Liu Zhao Guanlan, but a Guanlan's escort, and they officially reported to the following time:

"The demon clan is coming, and the two marquis generals asked me to lead the team to retreat. They are still resisting the enemy. I am afraid that it has been unexpected. Please prepare for defense quickly. The demon clan attacks the city in an instant!"

After hearing this news, the next general was shocked. The current military force in Heihuo City is only about 200 people. Even if the more than 100 soldiers brought back by the escort, it will not exceed 350 people. Even if the escorts are about 20 people, they are still short of troops and are no match for the demon clan.

"How many times did the demon clan come?" Without waiting, a marquis was already asking for him: "Can there be a number?"

"There are about two thousand demons who have been chasing me. The villain left for more than 800 times. After the arrival time, there should be about seven hundred, or less."

Hearing this, the generals and others breathed a sigh of relief. Although the walls of Black Fire City were not too high, they were still enough for the demon race with only a thousand. With various equipment, it should be enough to temporarily recruit people from the refugees in the city. The situation was much better than expected.

However, in order to stabilize the situation, the second general immediately sent a escort to investigate and find out the number of demons in order to make appropriate responses. At the same time, he mobilized personnel and began to arrange defense preparations.

As a result, the handling of Liu Chou Guanlan and the other two was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, not forgot, but not forgot, but for the time being. Moreover, since the two are still fighting with monsters outside, life and death are unknown, there is no need to rush to deal with them.

Even the second general even arranged this escort into the team at will without any disposal.

However……

The escort sent by the generals never returned. When the city wall reported that a monster had arrived, it was two hours later. When the generals climbed up to the city and looked into the distance, their hearts sank to the bottom - what kind of demon clan appeared in front of them was the seven or eight hundred demon clan, but at least two thousand, the demon clans of the fourth to fifth brigades appeared from four directions, surrounding the entire Black Fire City, and it was scattered.

The next general was anxious and angry and ordered someone to bring the escort, but the report he received was that the escort had disappeared and disappeared!

Looking back now, the actions of this Suihu are indeed a bit strange. More than two thousand demon clans can be regarded as seven or eight hundred. This is almost a division of troops. How could the Suihu be mistaken? Moreover, if Liu Chou Guanlan is still fighting against the demon clan outside, how could he bring back more than a hundred soldiers? This is clearly a huge flaw!

Also, my escort went to spy on it, but did not return and disappeared for no reason!

All of this seems to be just to strengthen their confidence and allow them to stay in the city safely without making any plans to escape!
