Chapter 30: A Lifeline(1/3)
at the same time.
Luoyan Pass.
General Tang Ze returned in a hurry, and when he saw the general An Haihou looking at him inquiringly, he could only shake his head helplessly at him.
"General, I have asked all the monks who came from other city gates to support us at Luoyan Pass. They found nothing unusual on the way here."
"The monks we sent out were all wiped out, so how could there be no abnormality?" An Haihou concentrated on the situation and said in a deep voice: "No abnormality was found, and that is the biggest abnormality.
We can’t wait any longer, immediately convey the news about us to Yumen Pass, and apply to temporarily abandon Luoyan Pass!”
"Abandon the defense of Luoyan Pass?!" The young general Tang Ze looked at An Haihou in astonishment, in disbelief.
Luoyan Pass is one of the only seventeen small city gates that the human race has on the battlefield outside the territory.
In order to defend this city gate, I don't know how many human monks have sacrificed, but now, An Haihou is actually planning to abandon Luoyan Pass?
"I feel uneasy," An Haihou nodded, frowned, and explained patiently: "This time everything is too strange. In the past, the demons attacked the city with great fanfare, but how can it be like this?
Also, Luoyan Pass has now completely become an isolated city where no one can enter or leave, which is obviously a trap."
"If we delay it any longer, something will definitely happen." An Haihou affirmed.
This is just his guess.
It may seem a bit metaphysical or even arbitrary, but this is not because he is conceited.
He has been guarding Luoyan Pass for thousands of years and has experienced hundreds of demon sieges. He has already developed an intuition about how the situation will develop.
The experience and intuition of an experienced monk are often very accurate.
Although Tang Ze was shocked and confused, he would not object to An Haihou's decision and immediately responded: "I will go and pass on the news."
Whoosh!
But before he could retreat, a ray of light came quickly and landed on the city wall.
In the escaping light, there was a monk guarding Luoyan Pass. At this time, he looked panicked and said anxiously: "General, something big has happened. The demon army is coming. At this time, we have blocked Luoyan Pass.
north."
Tang Ze was the first to change his expression after hearing this, "In the past, attacks by demons were directly launched by large armies, and there was never any blockade of the front..."
"Blocking the front line can only be to surround and kill us at Luoyan Pass." An Haihou's face turned slightly pale. His experienced experience allowed him to see a lot of things in an instant. He murmured, "I didn't expect it was too late. I
We should be more decisive, kill them first and then show off, and abandon the defense of Luoyan Pass first..."
"Didn't the demons only blockade the north?" Tang Ze understood the meaning of An Haihou's words and said subconsciously.
An Haihou shook his head and affirmed: "Since it is a blockade, how can it be reasonable to block only one direction in the north? Isn't this self-deception? It's just that the news from other directions has not yet come..."
As soon as he finished speaking, three more monks flew up to the city gate one after another and reported anxiously: "General, a large group of demon troops have appeared in the south of Luoyan Pass!"
"...An army of demons appears in the east!"
".....A demon army appears in the west!"
Tangze's pupils suddenly dilated, showing his inner unrest.
"It seems that the demons intend to destroy our Luoyan Pass in one fell swoop." An Haihou said softly.
"How is this possible?" Tang Ze kept shaking his head, unable to believe it, or rather unwilling to believe it, "How could the demon clan break the balance for no reason..."
It won't be a year or two for them to fall into Yanguan and resist the attacks of the demons.
It is precisely because of these years of experience that Karasawa has already acquiesced that unless a decisive battle begins, the demons will only send out armies that are evenly matched with them to attack the city in order to consume their effective strength. They will definitely not do anything.
The destruction of the city.
It can be said that this idea has been deeply ingrained in his mind.
Who would have thought that today the old almanac will turn a new page.
"Things have already happened, and there is no point in hoping that they won't happen. The top priority is to reduce losses."
An Haihou looked at the young general who he valued greatly, and just exhaled a breath, without analyzing the situation in detail with him, and said slowly.
Many times, the so-called astute thinking and the so-called strategy are no longer important on the huge battlefield between the two clans. Instead, the overall situation becomes the key.
From An Haihou's point of view, Tang Ze was already excellent in other aspects, but his overall view was not enough.
But this can be cultivated slowly.
An Haihou had always been very optimistic about Tang Ze becoming the next general of Luoyan Pass, so he spared no effort to train him.
It's just that he is no longer sure whether Luoyan Pass still exists after this catastrophe, and whether Tang Ze is still there...
…………
These thoughts flashed through the mind of the Luoyan Pass veteran, and he soon calmed down his thoughts.
After the initial shock, the pale color on An Haihou's face had disappeared, and now only peace remained.
He was staring intently at the wilderness in the distance.
There, it seems that a line of black tide can already be seen looming.
"Since it is a siege, the demons are naturally fully prepared. Defending Luoyan Pass will be a dead end. We must fight to break out. Every monk who can escape is a dead end."
...
Lu Qingshan felt a little bitter.
After he was forced to stay on the war boat by Demon General Qing Ge, he could only watch helplessly as the war boat followed the demon army and kept approaching in the direction of Luoyan Pass.
And now, the majestic Luoyan Pass in the distance has come into his sight.
The mottled city walls full of pits and pits indicate the long history of this city gate.
This is a thousand-year-old city, majestic and majestic.
But after today, Luoyan Pass will no longer exist.
Luoyan Pass was originally the destination of Lu Qingshan's trip.
Who would have thought that after all the trouble, he finally came to Luoyan Pass, but he came with the demon army that attacked Luoyan Pass.
Doesn't this become "Taijun please come here"? Although it is forced...
Lu Qingshan was extremely helpless and kept thinking in his mind, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't seem to find a way out.
Because this war boat, with Demon General Qingge inside, happened to be located in the core hinterland of the entire demon army.
How could he leave in full public view without the permission of Demon General Qing Ge?
"The difficulty of Luoyan Pass is a foregone conclusion, and the next thing we have to consider is our own safety.
The longer the nights are long and the dreams are many, the longer I am trapped in the devil's nest, the greater the chance that my identity as a fake underworld monk will be revealed."
Lu Qingshan no longer thinks about Luoyan Pass at this time - he has already tried to save Luoyan Pass at great risk, and he almost even risked it himself.
He considers himself to have a clear conscience.
"The only plan for now is to adapt to the situation when the war starts and see if we can take advantage of the chaos to escape." Lu Qingshan kept thinking.
........
The majestic Luoyan Pass.
The Luoyanguan monks headed by An Haihou gathered on the city wall, looking at the demonic tide that had appeared in their field of vision.
The demon clan is mighty and powerful, like a flood pouring down, forming a line.
Countless demons are rushing towards Luoyan Pass in a frantic manner, and all of them look like they are full of fighting spirit and extremely crazy.
The atmosphere in Luoyan Pass is very solemn.
Facing this situation, some of the human monks turned pale and were shocked by the huge momentum, while others had their eyes red and were ready to fight these demons...
Boom, boom, boom!
The low drum beat suddenly sounded at this moment, as if it struck the hearts of every Luoyanguan monk.
The sound of the drums seemed to have a strange power, causing the monk who was originally pale to gradually calm down during the sound of the war drums.
This is an inspiring war drum instrument.
And in the center of Luoyan Pass, there is a huge formation.
At this time, a thick spiritual light shot out from this formation, straight into the sky, and then turned into a magnificent sky curtain, connecting the sky and the city, shrouding the entire Luoyan Pass.
This is the city defense formation of Luoyan Pass. It is the most important confidence for the human monks to guard the pass, and it is their lifeblood.
This is also the reason why Marquis Anhai obviously did not intend to defend Luoyan Pass and wanted to break out of the siege, but he led the monks in the city to temporarily defend the isolated city.
We must break through, but we cannot break through blindly.
The strength of a single person will only be swallowed up in an instant in the vast ocean of war, and will only be cannibalized by the demons.
He must rely on the protection of the formation and gather the power of all the monks before he has a chance to create a breakthrough.
........
"Finally here!" Seeing the demon army getting closer, An Haihou's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
