Chapter 1622: Garrison
At the end of the mountain range, there is a very eye-catching horizontally spread out huge stone platform, which is about ten miles long, with more than ten rows of square houses in the middle, which are also neat and uniform.
Surrounding the platform is a circle of fifty-foot-high walls, giving people the feeling that this place is very much like a small city.
At this time, there is a group of blue-armored soldiers on the western wall, but these people are not patrolling in a line, or looking outside the wall vigilantly.
Each one of them looks very lazy, or leaning on the wall, talking to the people beside him; or a few people are in a circle, as if they are eating meat and drinking.
When Li Yan and his men flew from behind, the people below immediately noticed them, and the blue-armored soldiers on the wall stood up instantly.
The moment these people stood up, a wave of fierce and fierce killing intent suddenly emanated from them.
The face that was talking and laughing with his companions before suddenly lost its smile, and the look he gave to Li Yan and others became indifferent and cold in an instant.
This kind of momentum after the transformation is not comparable to the blue-armored soldiers behind Li Yan.
This makes Li Yan and his group look a little immature except for him and Mu Guyue.
Among those people, there stood a bearded blue-armored man. He put his helmet in his arm with one hand and pointed at the sky with the other hand, while his voice slowly spread.
"Fellow Daoists, come here!"
Li Yan and others quickly flew over the city wall. But before they landed, the man spoke again, and at the same time, a pair of ring eyes hid a man-eating light.
"You just stop there and bring the handover jade slip over!"
The people on the city wall seemed lazy, but they were very vigilant. However, through the words of the blue-armored man, they obviously had received the news that someone would come to change guard.
The big man seemed to be speaking politely, but his eyes were staring at everyone without blinking, as if they would suddenly attack if Li Yan and his team hesitated.
Li Yan did not speak either, but first bowed to the other party, but the big man in green armor did not return the greeting, but just held his helmet and stared at him and others.
Li Yan then raised his hand, and a pale yellow jade slip flew over. Under the gaze of everyone, the yellow jade slip just flew to a place ten feet in front of the big man in green armor, and immediately stopped.
The big man in green armor did not release his divine sense to explore the jade slip, but raised his other hand. As the magic power in his hand surged, jumping runes appeared on his fingertips.
After these runes appeared, they did not fly out immediately, but flew around the other party's palm, and the magic formula in the hand of the big man in green armor continued to move.
Runes of different shapes continued to fly out on his fingertips, and when these runes appeared to eighty-one.
Suddenly, one of the runes flew out, and it rushed towards the pale yellow jade slip as fast as lightning.
At the same time, another rune followed closely behind, and also rushed out quickly.
Then more runes were connected head to tail in an instant, like a spiritual python, directly hitting the pale yellow jade slip.
After the first rune gently hit the pale yellow jade slip, the rune itself turned into a halo and exploded instantly.
The pale yellow jade slip stood up in the halo. Although it was still suspended there, a layer of pale yellow light appeared on the surface.
Then, "Boom boom boom..." A series of runes burst lightly, and those runes turned into circles of halos after hitting the jade slip, surrounding the jade slip.
In just a few breaths, all the runes disappeared, and those halos formed a token-like phantom around the jade slip.
At the moment when the shadow of the token was formed, the jade slip in the center suddenly disappeared in a rotation.
Then, in the middle of the token composed of the halo, a green "ink" character in ancient seal script appeared.
It was not until this time that the green-armored man sent a divine sense to the halo token in the air...
Soon after, as the green-armored man's divine sense was withdrawn, the halo token also dissipated into light spots in the sky in an instant.
It was not until this time that the green-armored man nodded to Li Yan.
"You can come down! You, go and greet the other brothers, we will leave soon!"
The green-armored man said "you" twice, but the first half of the sentence was said to Li Yan, and the second half was said directly to the people beside him.
When the green-armored soldiers heard it, they immediately stopped looking at Po Junmen and others, and disappeared from the city wall like a gust of wind.
Li Yan and the others all fell onto the platform inside the city wall. The expression of the man in green armor was slightly relieved at this time.
He had received the news of a change of guard a few days ago, so he had called back all the people and waited here.
After checking the information in the token just now, he also roughly knew Li Yan's identity, but at this moment, he himself did not intend to introduce it, but continued to speak directly.
"Fellow Daoist Li, right? This is left to you. If any other cultivators appear here, you must find out their identities.
Like the way of verifying the jade slip just now, I think Fellow Daoist Li should have obtained the relevant formula before coming here!"
After hearing this, Li Yan nodded.
This method of verifying jade slips is a unique method of Moji Dao Sect, and it must be combined with special jade slips.
Every time this kind of jade slip appears, according to Chunyang Hall,
A deacon said that only one will be issued after strict inspection, and the information must be burned in person.
Once information is burned on such jade slips, they cannot be used again.
And if you directly use your spiritual consciousness or magic power to detect the power, it will instantly turn into a sheet of starlight and disappear, leaving you no chance to try at all.
"Besides, if there are enemies from Mosha Palace attacking here, with less than a thousand people and no powerful ones above the level of gods, we can basically deal with them with a large formation.
Otherwise, you need to send the message back. In a room at the back, there is this kind of teleportation array, but it can only send dead objects, so forget about the person who sent it.
And on the other end, at the beginning of each month, various materials will be sent from the rear, including elixirs, talismans, etc. that are allocated for your own use, as well as various materials needed to maintain the formation...
When the teleportation array is activated, as long as there is a living thing in it, the array will collapse immediately, including the spirit storage space magic weapon.
I have explained this matter. If the Taoist is curious to try it, if there is any damage, it will need to be rebuilt at the Taoist's own pocket.
I will take Fellow Daoist Li there to take a look at that place soon..."
Only half an hour later, the big man in green armor quickly flew away with more than thirty people.
Seeing that the big man in green armor didn't show any nostalgia at all, he just flew away quickly. In front of a house, Li Yan and Mu Guyue stood there, watching each other leave.
They have taken over all the formations here, and at the same time erased the marks of the big men in blue armor, ensuring that from now on, only the two of them can control the formations here.
After Li Yan withdrew his gaze, he looked into the distance again. Four Yuanying monks were arranging people. They were familiar with the situation here and said lightly.
"It seems that there are a lot of casualties here. They have replenished the personnel three times. They have been here for four years. After the last replenishment, there are only so many people left."
When Li Yan took some time just now, he still roughly inquired about the situation here.
After hearing the inquiry, the big man in green armor first twitched his face, but in the end hesitantly told him some information.
Although this is not the main battlefield in the north, Mosha Palace will also attack from this direction from time to time, trying to break through from this direction.
The vice-captains of the team of big men in blue armor have been replaced by two people, and there are even more casualties below.
It's not that the army from behind didn't come to help, it's that there were a lot of harassment by small groups in the Mosha Palace here, and many of their people were dying in this harassment.
Moreover, the other party also figured out the rules of Moji Dao Sect. The beacon towers lined up along the line would sometimes be attacked at the same time.
Moreover, when Mocha Palace attacks the beacon tower, it will also deliberately disperse its forces to hold back the Moji Dao Sect army.
This made the beacon towers in certain locations tight, but it was not enough to mobilize the army.
Often you can only rely on your own strength and large formations to defend.
"We need to get more familiar with our surroundings!"
Mu Guyue suddenly spoke.
…………
A few days later, in a room, Li Yan, Mu Guyue, and three Nascent Soul cultivators in the team were standing there, looking forward.
In the void in front of them, a map appeared. Li Yan and Mu Guyue kept whispering, and from time to time, they would mark some light spots of different colors on it.
In the past few days, in addition to Li Yan and his people staying here, Mu Guyue took four Nascent Soul monks and visited everything within a radius of 500 miles.
Even the distance between the left and right sides reached the location controlled by other beacon towers. He also met with the blue-armored monks there and discussed some mutual assistance.
But it is only limited to helping in times of crisis. On weekdays, every beacon tower can only clean up the snow on its own.
Afterwards, the five of them sneaked hundreds of miles westward, but basically what they saw was the endless Gobi Desert.
According to the news they received, there was a city of Mosha Palace thirty-six thousand miles away from their beacon tower.
And this city is Guiyin City, which is why Li Yan is willing to come here.
Otherwise, if Guiyin City was in the north, he would rather take more risks and go to the northern defense line of Moji Dao Sect.
In that case, as long as he brings it up, the deacons there will definitely agree. The defense line on the north side is more dangerous, and almost no one will be willing to take the initiative to go there.
On weekdays, only when arrangements are placed on one's head, and military orders cannot be disobeyed, one has no choice but to go.
But Chong Yangzi had taken care of it after all. Although Li Yan and the others were not left in Duangui City, they were still placed on the west defensive line.
This allows Li Yan to try to get close to Guiyin City if he has the chance, and then implement his own plan.
Between Li Yan and Guiyin City, there is also a large army of Mosha Temple stationed there, but they also face the problem of insufficient number of monks.
Therefore, the army here can only confront the Moji Dao Sect, and cannot be like the battles that often break out on the frontal battlefield in the north.
The chance of a war breaking out here is small, and the army's role is more of deterrence, or support and containment.
Occasionally, a war breaks out. On weekdays, there are more scouts from both sides infiltrating and spying, and small teams rushing.
After Mu Guyue and the others came back, they left some people on duty outside and immediately began to mark the map. They planned to set up some formations at some locations as an auxiliary.
And at this moment, suddenly, a series of low and rapid buzzing sounds came from the wall of the room they were in.
"Hmm? Something's going on!"
Li Yan immediately turned his head and looked out the window.
