Chapter 22 King, My Family Is Gone!
Outside Guangling Pass, there used to be a lot of beacons here. It was specially set up by Lun Wu Tang according to local conditions as a warning.
The location selection of these beacons is extremely rigorous and precise, ensuring that standing on the high platform of any beacon, you will be able to see more than two adjacent beacons. Each beacon is assigned two monks to serve as beacons, rotating with each other.
Yes, seeing it.
Because of the various methods of the demons, they are fully capable of capturing beacons one after another with lightning speed, so that the beacons have no time to spread the news.
But it's different if you can see it. No matter how varied the demon clan's methods are, they can't hide it from the sky, and they can buy precious reaction time for Guangling Pass.
It is precisely because of this seemingly down-to-earth beacon system that even though the Black Armor Domain demons suddenly rose up and flattened thirty-one city groups outside Guangling Pass in one go, the Zhongwu Domain still responded in time. Come over and avoid further losses.
Faced with the outpouring of demons from the Black Armor Realm, Guanglingguan's response was simple.
Completely abandon the defense in depth outside the pass and concentrate all backbone forces inside the pass.
This is a very smart approach.
Giving up is something that must be learned in war.
There is no doubt that this day is a disaster day for the Zhongwu Domain, but the human race has never lacked courage to fight against disasters.
Moreover, it’s not like there’s no need to fight at all.
Guangling Pass has the formation of Taozu.
All sect monks know one thing. In the world of cultivation, attacking the mountain gate formation is something that no sect is willing to do.
In front of the mountain gate formation that took ten or even a hundred years to build with countless details, the attackers often had to pay much more losses than the defenders.
As for how much more, it is determined by the strength of the formation.
Even if a strong side chooses to attack the mountain gate formation head-on, even if they win in the end, the losses will often be unacceptable.
Therefore, in most sect struggles, monks tend to adopt methods such as sneak attacks, coercion, planting spies and even alienating.
Daozu's formation is undoubtedly the most powerful formation in the world.
Just because it is enough to accommodate so many monks from Guangling Pass, you can know how terrifying it is.
Over the years, with the help of the eight Dao Ancestor Formations, the human race has been able to confront the demon race.
Even the Dragon City Pass was managed by the Inner Demon Clan for thousands of years, and was finally opened through an internal attack.
The Guanglingguan monks also knew one thing clearly. The situation of the Black Armored Alliance Army was not optimistic. They must end the war as soon as possible to avoid instability in the rear.
Ten years is a big hurdle. The first ten years are definitely when the demons' offensive is the most fierce and their morale is the strongest. After this time, the demon cultivator's will, desire to win and even confidence will decline.
On the other hand, when other demons see that you, the Black Armor Realm, have been unable to capture Guangling Pass and are slugging it out with the human monks, they will definitely be happy to see your success, take pleasure in your misfortune, and even cause trouble for you.
If there is hope, the Guanglingguan monks will have the faith to persevere.
In addition, with his hometown behind him, he had even more reasons to retreat.
In war, besides one's own strength, in the final analysis, isn't it all about mentality and belief?
In addition, the human race has another advantage. …
In the world of spiritual practice, the backbone of the attack on the magic circle is usually Dharma cultivation, or even worse, spiritual cultivation. This is their advantage.
Because under the specific circumstances of the attack formation, the practitioners have enough time to prepare the forbidden secret method that they cannot use in ordinary fighting, which is also commonly known as the "second count technique".
However, it is a pity that the group of Dharma cultivators does not exist in the Demon Clan’s practice system.
The demon clan's cultivation system is based on blood, and then extends to the powerful god-demonic body. Although it cannot be said that there are no long-range attack methods, it is generally close-combat, similar to physical cultivation.
To put it bluntly, they are just a group of reckless men who are not good at attacking formations.
The war between monks is by no means as simple as imagined.
In ordinary times, a war between two countries can last for several years.
If there is sufficient food and grass, a siege can even last ten years.
This is even more true in the Monk Wars.
Because for monks, there is no problem of food and grass.
As long as they have enough mana and energy, they can keep fighting.
Not to mention that this is still a war between two domains. Behind both sides, there is an entire large domain providing logistical support.
The goal of the Black Armor Realm Demon Clan is to capture Guangling Pass quickly, but in fact, according to the expectations of the four Shura Kings, this speed is within ten years.
On the demon side, the attack on the dome formation of Guangling Pass has been ongoing - the protective formation of Guangling Pass is called the dome.
But there are no signs of breakthrough yet.
The Guanglingguan monks relied on their deep formation foundation, the huge 20,000-year-old treasure in one area, and the united will of the monks to defend it extremely resolutely.
When the opponent relies on the formation to be a coward, it is a very difficult thing for the attacker.
Naturally, there are disadvantages to playing coy, that is, for the Guangling Pass side, the best outcome of this battle is that they will not lose.
The Guanglingguan monks were divided into two parts.
A part of the monks are responsible for presiding over the formations to defend against the enemy - relying solely on the power of the formation itself is obviously not enough to face a war at this level. There must be monks entering each formation to contribute to the dome formation.
The monks who presided over the formation were divided into three waves.
The first wave of monks ran out of mana, and the second wave of monks immediately came on top.
The second wave of monks ran out of mana, and the third wave of monks followed closely behind.
When the mana of the third wave of monks was exhausted, the mana of the first wave of monks was almost restored, almost moving permanently.
The other part of the monks is responsible for facing the enemy head-on.
The formation is nothing more than two parts, the formation itself and the energy supply system composed of spiritual stones and monks.
The rotation of monks takes time, and if the formation is operating at full capacity for a long time, the formation base that makes up the formation itself will inevitably be damaged and need to be repaired.
Just like a machine, if it runs at high load for a long time, it will be overloaded and overheated, shortening its service life.
Whether it is the rotation of monks at the formation points or the repair of the dome formation, the dome formation will be weak for a period of time, or even a vacuum period, and monks need to be on top to share part of the pressure for the formation.
For the demons, this is the key to breaking through the formation.
During this weak period, the demons will engage in the most bloody and cruel war of attrition with the human monks who are facing them head-on, using the lives of their own demon cultivators as consumables in exchange for the lives of the Guanglingguan monks. …
As long as the casualties of the Guangling Pass monks reach a certain level and they can no longer organize a decent defense on the front, then Guangling Pass will collapse thousands of miles away.
Because at that point, the dome array would have to be overloaded to make up for the gap.
Then the mana recovery speed of the monk in charge of the formation will not keep up with the consumption speed, and the formation cannot be repaired. It will only be a matter of time before the formation is broken.
In the final analysis, this battle between Dao Demons is so simple and crude, and it is divided into two stages.
In the first stage, the demon monks went all out to attack the key points. The Guanglingguan monks used the dome formation to meet the enemy and kill the demon cultivators.
In the second stage, the dome formation entered a weak stage. Some of the Guanglingguan monks came out to face the demon army head-on, while the other monks took the time to repair the formation and perform rotations.
The two stages continue to cycle until one party can no longer hold on.
In the first stage, the human race did not suffer any loss, but the demon race had to do it, because only in this way can the second stage be ushered in.
There is no doubt that because of the existence of the first stage, the losses of the human race are far less than those of the demons. This is the advantage of the human race.
But the Demon clan has a great cause and is not afraid of losses. This is their advantage.
In a newly built garrison city thousands of miles away from Guangling Pass, the four Shura Kings of the Black Armor Region gathered together. In addition, three of the eight generals, of which there were only seven left, were also present.
Luo Qiantuo asked Shura King to take a sip of the black blood wine unique to the Black Armor Realm, and sighed: "The human race's formation is truly unsatisfactory. Apart from grinding it slowly and relying on human lives, there is no hope of breaking the formation. "
"It's just that if we start a war with other holy demon tribes, we don't have to worry about instability in the rear, nor do we have to worry about reinforcements at Guangling Pass. We can have no worries at all. The pressure is not as great as it is now."
"In just three months, our black armor has lost more than 700,000 men. The total casualties at Guangling Pass can only be counted as 100,000."
"Although our losses are greater, the Guangling people have been suppressed by our army and have been huddled in the city. They dare not show their heads at all. It will be a matter of time to capture them. Luo Qituo, you don't have to worry." Po Zhi Shura of the main war faction. Wang said carelessly, not caring at all.
"That's not what you're saying. The Guanglingguan monks seem to be trapped in the city with no room for advancement or retreat. In fact, we can't afford the time. The outcome of this expedition is really unpredictable. It might just be a farce that ends in an anticlimax!" Another Shura King Bhimazitara obviously supported Luo Qituo more, and looked at the leader of this expedition, King Rahu, who had been expressionless at the main seat.
"Then Lin Xiu killed my general Qiang Qi, how can we just let this grudge end? Don't want to make others more ambitious!" Po Zhi said dissatisfied.
They were arguing passionately here, but King Rahu only drank there from beginning to end, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Luo Hu, what do you think?" Luo Qiantuo simply stopped probing and asked directly.
"How can there be any good thing in the world that is as perfect as one wants? The early grinding is always a process that cannot be avoided." Since Luo Qituo asked directly, King Luohu also said: "This is actually a process that starts slowly and then speeds up. , in the early stage, you need to be patient and not impatient.”…
"Everything is under my control." He said calmly.
Luo Hu is too calm, too calm, and too fearless. As a leader, his attitude will undoubtedly bring great confidence to others.
King Rahu said this, so Bhimachitra and Luo Qiantuo could not say more.
Whether in the Black Armor Realm or among the Asura clan, King Rahu is the unquestionable number one person with absolute authority. Luo Qiantuo and Bhimachitara are not willing to conflict with King Rahu unless necessary.
At this moment, everyone on the field turned their heads and turned their attention to the door.
A demon cultivator appeared there in a hurry.
King Rahu’s eyes flashed slightly.
Because the person he recognized was Luo Jia's confidant. He should be in the Black Armor Domain at the moment. How could he appear here?
Could it be that something big happened in the Black Armor Domain?
Is there a holy demon clan who can't hold himself back and causes chaos in my Black Armor Domain?
It shouldn't be, it's only been so long, so we shouldn't be in such a hurry.
"Come in." Many speculations flashed through his mind for a moment, but King Rahu remained very calm on his face.
After receiving permission, the demon cultivator quickly walked in.
"What happened?" Luo Qiantuo also recognized this person's identity and asked without waiting for him to salute.
The demon cultivator hesitated for a moment and subconsciously looked up at Luo Hu.
Luo Hu nodded slightly.
Only the demon cultivator who reported the news dared to speak, "King Rahu, something big has happened. The city of Pagoda has been destroyed!"
The royal city is gone. Such a big thing cannot be concealed at all, and it is not dared to be concealed. Even if Luojia is the son of Luohu, the same is true.
Therefore, even though he was unwilling to do so, Luo Jia immediately sent his men to the front line to report the news.
"Destroyed?!" Luo Qiantuo's eyes widened. The moment he saw the demon cultivator who reported the message, he knew that something big had happened in the rear, but he never imagined that it would be such a big thing.
The royal city of Pagoda is the hinterland of the Black Armor Territory. If the royal city has been destroyed, doesn't it mean that the entire Black Armor Territory has fallen? ?
"How is it possible? Who did it? Did the Burning Moon Domain take action? It's impossible. It only happened in such a short time. Could it be that the several domains joined forces?"
"No." The demon cultivator who reported the message was startled. He didn't expect Luo Qiantuo to take the matter so seriously. He quickly explained with fear and fear: "The Burning Moon Domain didn't take action, and the other demon domains didn't take action either. The one who took action was a Human monk.”
Bhimajitara was surprised and asked: "Human monk?!"
Po Zhi: "One?!"
Even Luo Hu's eyes were narrowed and he stared at the messenger demon cultivator with sharp eyes.
Being stared at by the four Shura Kings together, the messenger demon cultivator couldn't help but feel sad and tremblingly told what had happened in the realm of the Buddha King during this period.
"A human monk has disturbed the peace of the Buddha King Realm, and even reduced the royal city that our clan has stood for countless years to ruins. And this human monk has not been killed yet, and is still at large and causing trouble? " Po Zhi was the least scheming and asked loudly.
Although Bhimachitra and Luo Qiantuo did not speak, their expressions at this moment also became extremely gloomy, although it was difficult to tell because their facial skin was a deep blue color.
"Yes." The demon cultivator who reported the message nodded with difficulty, "This person is too good at hiding his traces. We have been unable to locate him. We finally pushed him to the point of despair, but he used a strange trick to resolve it."
This way of breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation is too wild and too crazy. Never mind that I have heard of it before, I dare not even think about it.
Bhimachitra and Luo Qiantuo looked at Rahu together. Due to his ferocious appearance, not much change in his expression could be seen, but his face was obviously twitching slightly, and his eyes were strange.
King Rahu, is this also within your control?
After a period of eerie silence, Luo Hu finally spoke.
"Luojia's guarding is poor. I will punish him afterwards, but the most important thing now is to deal with this human monk. If he continues to cause trouble, people's hearts will be scattered."
"Demon Lord Youhu." The general whose name was called down looked serious and was about to reply, but he didn't expect Luo Hu to deny his idea first, shook his head, and then turned to look at Luo Qiantuo: "Luo Qian Tuo, if you have a way to track it, you should go back and resolve this matter as soon as possible."
At this moment, Luo Hu's eyes seemed to be cannibalistic.
