Chapter 249 Battle Situation
Li Yan gave everyone a brief introduction of the battle situation, but unexpectedly it was not as serious as imagined.
But it’s not much better. People in the Duanchen stage cannot go to the battlefield easily, and the Yuanying stage is not much better.
The number of Yuanying on the other side is far greater than that on the mainland. As long as a Yuanying comes on the field, the other side will definitely send two demons of equal strength to fight against it.
Hearing this, Elder Han and Elder Yan couldn't help but frown. It sounded like the demon was just playing.
Nor does it seek to weaken the power of the human side, as if it is controlling... controlling the balance of the battlefield.
Yes, it’s balance, so now the two sides are evenly matched.
Humans currently want to build a wall along the coastline to resist the demons and bring the battlefield back to the shore.
This way you can turn from passive to active. Once it is fully built, you only need to defend the city.
Hearing this, Gu Yang came to Elder Yan with Xiao Zi in his arms and said:
"Then if we defend, won't we become passive?"
Elder Han and Elder Yan's eyes moved slightly, and it was obvious that they had similar ideas.
Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "My dear brother, you can't say that. We have no other options. We can't find the enemy's lair, and we don't know how many high-level fighters they have. We are already in a passive position.
Every time we have to wait for the demons to start a war first before we resist, and even then, our casualties continue to mount, and we don’t know how many batches of reinforcements have arrived.”
Gu Yang nodded, and there was indeed no problem in building the city wall.
But just now when I was on the boat looking at the endless coastline, I had no idea how long it would take to build. It was really too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Hu Qing obviously realized this and stepped forward and said, "That will take several years, right? Why not just use the formation? Wouldn't that be simpler?"
Li Yan was a little surprised. Who were these people? He looked at Hu Qing twice with emphasis, then said:
"We've considered using a formation, but firstly, the cost is too high, and secondly, the alien demons have artifacts that can block formations. If we rely solely on formations, they'll probably take advantage of the night to launch a large-scale invasion."
Hu Qing nodded. That made sense. Elder Han and Elder Yan looked at the two people beside them with appreciation.
This courage is enough to prevent the strong men in the Duanchen period from changing their expression and even picking out the key points to question.
"Then you guys chat first. It's getting late and I have to go to the city wall to patrol. I don't know if those born today will attack." Zheng Su felt relieved when he saw the harmonious atmosphere, so he said.
"Go ahead, I'll be receiving you here." Li Yan said seriously.
Then, Li Yan's gaze swept across the spirit ship behind Gu Yang and the others, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The large number of monks that were originally expected did not show up, and the boat was empty. It seemed that there were only these two elders of Tianyi Sect, two disciples and a dragon cub.
A trace of disappointment could not help but well up in his heart. He had originally thought that the support from Tianyi Sect would bring new strength to the human race's defense line, but now it seemed that this strength was far weaker than he expected.
Despite feeling disappointed, Li Yan quickly adjusted his mood.
He knew that even if there were only four of them, they were a token of Tianyi Sect's kindness, and he had to show them enough respect and welcome, so he said:
"Then everyone, come with me to the military camp. I'll have my men prepare some food to welcome you."
"Commander Li is so polite. We will respectfully obey your orders." Elder Han said politely.
Li Yan led the elders and disciples of Tianyi Sect through the military camp and came to the banquet specially prepared for them.
This was what he had just messaged to his guards, asking them to prepare.
At the banquet, the table was filled with meat and the aroma was everywhere, but Li Yan's mind was obviously not on the food.
His eyes kept looking at the two elders from time to time, trying to find any hidden strength in them.
Their aura was extraordinary, but he still found it difficult to accept their small number.
"The two elders have come a long way and have worked hard."
Li Yan raised his glass, a hint of disappointment in his voice as he said, "Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks. Today, we will serve tea instead of wine to welcome you to the front line. The battle situation is urgent, so this is all the meat we have. I hope you don't mind."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at the monster meat in the bowl and swallowed their saliva. The spiritual energy contained in it was almost overflowing. It was obviously a monster above the fourth level.
Elder Han and Elder Yan quickly raised their glasses and said, "Commander Li, you are too polite. This is already a great honor for us. I am Han Ce, and this is my senior brother Yan Bing."
Li Yan drank the tea in one gulp, then looked at Elder Yan in shock and said:
"I've heard of the Little Sword God for a long time, but I never expected to see his true appearance today."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang exchanged a glance. Little Sword God?
Is this Elder Yan’s nickname?
Elder Yan bowed and drank the tea in his cup. He said, "It's just an empty reputation. It's not as famous as the commander."
"Come, eat some meat. This is the meat of a fierce tiger that was just killed in the nearby forest. It can ward off the cold. Eat more, little brothers."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious. Elder Han and Elder Yan were talking, while Hu Qing and Gu Yang were silent and focused on eating meat.
At the same time, Zheng Su had already arrived at the city wall. He took over Li Yan's position and began to patrol the surrounding sea area.
The salty sea breeze blew on his face, and he squinted his eyes, looking at the distant horizon.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart. Today was indeed a little too quiet. He always felt that this war was far more complicated than they had imagined.
Zheng Su's eyes swept across the sea and he noticed some unusual movements.
The waves seemed to be rougher than usual, and there seemed to be some shadows moving quickly across the sea.
He immediately became alert and ordered his soldiers to be vigilant and ready to respond to possible demonic attacks at any time.
……
After eating and drinking, Elder Han and Elder Yan followed Li Yan to understand the defense situation, while Hu Qing and Gu Yang came to the city wall.
The cold sea breeze cut their cheeks like a sharp blade, bringing bursts of pain.
The wind was mixed with the salty smell of sea water and the lingering smell of blood on the battlefield, which made the two men frown unconsciously.
The cruelty of this war was obviously beyond their imagination.
The two stood at the edge of the city wall, looking at the turbid sea water below their feet.
The waves kept hitting the shore, and from time to time, some limbs were washed ashore.
These scenes impact the two people's vision and hearts all the time.
They did not escape, nor did they turn their heads away. They just stood there quietly, getting used to the cruel atmosphere of the battlefield in advance.
Hu Qing took a deep breath, and his hand unconsciously touched the king sword at his waist.
He turned to look at Gu Yang, only to see a determined light flashing in Gu Yang's eyes, as if telling Hu Qing that no matter what he faced, he would not back down.
"Brother Gu, are you scared?" Hu Qing's voice seemed a little vague in the wind.
