Chapter 823 Final Preparations 1
It is winter now, and the northern part of Tianbao Prefecture is covered with snow and covered with snow.

In a place near the northern end, in the middle of a plain, there is a huge arc-shaped thing covered with thick snow, which looks like a low hill from a distance, but its shape is so regular that It can be seen that it is artificially piled up.

There is a small eye in the center of this giant artificial mound, from which strong aura erupts from time to time.

Below that small eye is a spiritual eye, Guishui spiritual eye.

At the beginning, Xie Xiaoyu searched everywhere for the spiritual eye for the sake of consummation of the five elements, and the essence of Guishui was obtained from this spiritual eye.

This is Beiwang City.

The ruins of the past are no longer visible, and it is not even the original appearance.

This Beiwang City does not feel like a city at all.

Standing on the top of the artificial hill, Xie Xiaoyu looked around, his eyes slightly lost.

"When the human race was still there, this was a big city. More than ten years ago, there was a war here. It was a war between the human race and the local barbarians in Tianbao Prefecture." He seemed to be saying to himself Self-talk is average.

"I heard that when we rebuilt this place, we excavated a lot of bones, and the number is innumerable." The Snow Queen Ling replied that she was responsible for building this city.

"During the Battle of Beiwang City, there were more than 200 million people on the Human Race side, and about 300 million people on the Tuman side. However, the Tuman used the method of blood-dropping clones. One became ten, and it was done more than once." Xie Xiaoyu recalled the past scene.

"Did you inquire about this when you were in the human race?" Ling was obviously not a monster who was good at observing words and expressions.

Of course Xie Xiaoyu would not tell the truth, he came back to his senses, coughed, and said casually: "I have studied it."

"What's the use?" Ling asked, tilting his head.

"Of course it's useful. Humans can win, mainly relying on formations and thunder. It is by relying on formations that humans can keep the barbarians out, and most of the barbarians were killed by thunder."

"That's why you value formations so much?" Ling asked.

Xie Xiaoyu shook his head: "That's not true, I used to pay attention to formations."

"Then what about Lei?" Ling continued to ask: "I have never seen you use Lei before."

"Of course I used it." Xie Xiaoyu quickly replied: "Every time I have to escape, I will plant a mine. If anyone pursues closely, he will have to pay the price."

"You two are so leisurely. You actually ran outside to watch the snow scene. I've been looking for you for a long time." Silhouettes flashed around, and a group of people emerged. The leader was Hui. The old fox held a roll of blueprints in his hand. The lupine, which was always swinging back and forth, was now stuck behind the neck.

That volume of blueprints is exactly the structural drawing of Beiwang City. This thing is not so much a city as it is a fortress.

The whole city is like an upside-down bowl, or a huge turtle shell, with a huge dome on top and a thick web underneath. The dome and web are all made of metal plates, and the inside is like Honeycomb In general, these cells are both a place to live and a part of the supporting structure.Most of such a fortress is still located underground, and the earth bag seen on the ground is only equivalent to one-third.

"How is it? Are you looking forward to it?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.

When he hadn't broken his face with Mentaizi, he met the old fox once and discussed in secret how to deal with the upcoming war?He mentioned this city at that time, and the old fox decided to build a similar city in the north of Tianbao Prefecture.

After the two joined forces, the first request made by the old fox was to visit here, and at the same time asked for the structural map of the city.

"It's a very clever design, it's solid as gold, but the structure is extremely simple, and it's easy to build." Hui kept saying good things: "I was worried that it would be too late to finish before the war started, but now I feel relieved."

Immediately afterwards, he said: "When we build the city, we will be in the corner with you, and we will take care of each other."

"You don't need to be so kind, we have eighteen Acropolis here, and they are all at odds with each other," Ling said coldly.

The old fox chuckled and didn't care, he had a thick skin.

"What about the original city? Are we going to give up all of them?" A rough man next to him asked.

This person is not from Prince Yu, nor from Lan, his name is Montaigne, and he belongs to that loose alliance.

Tianbaozhou was originally a four-legged family, but now that Prince Ming is gone, there are only three families left.When they heard that New Linhai City had formed an alliance with Bafang Cloud City, they couldn't sit still and desperately wanted to squeeze in.This time the old fox came to Beiwang City, and they hurriedly followed.

After arriving here, they walked around inside and out, looked around, and finally realized that others had already walked in front of them, so they couldn't help but panic.

Because of this, he couldn't resist asking this question.

Compared with this Beiwang city, their city seems to be undefended.

Xie Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's best for everyone to concentrate on a few big cities for easy defense. The rest of the cities should be converted into fortresses, and each city will have tens of thousands of troops. Stay, and then use the teleportation array to escape, using this method to consume the strength of the ghost clan."

"A large formation is not safe. There are many ways to break through it now." Meng Tian looked rough, but he was not very courageous. Hearing Xie Xiaoyu's plan, he immediately shook his head repeatedly.

Xie Xiaoyu frowned, this guy gave him a bad feeling.

He was about to persuade, but he heard another demon ask: "Which big cities should we concentrate on?"

"You can concentrate in Tianle City, and the Xingyun City abandoned by Prince Ming can also be used. In addition, our new Linhai City, Shu's Chiyan City, Jue's Xuanbing City, and Lame's Baili Niao City, are very good choices.”

"We need to discuss it." Montaigne and another demon exchanged a glance.

When he thought of the ghost clan's invasion of the south, he immediately felt terrified, but he was a little bit reluctant to let him give up the territory that he had worked so hard for for a long time.

Xie Xiaoyu saw this guy's hesitation, and said with a sneer: "There is one more thing I must remind you, you'd better move quickly, there is not much time left."

"You must give us some time to prepare?" The seemingly rough man was suddenly annoyed.

Xie Xiaoyu became more and more reluctant. He said with a cold face: "It's not that I don't give you time, but that the ghost clan won't give you time. Once spring is over, Zhongtu will launch an attack, and we don't need to move. But we must guard against the ghost clan going south."

"Is this all the time?" The faces of those two guys were ashen.

"We have to go back immediately, there is not much time." Montaigne suddenly came to his senses.

"Everyone has to be called for a meeting. Moving is not an easy task." The other monster has already felt a headache. It takes a long time, ranging from seven or eight days to two or three months.

Xie Xiaoyu shook her head secretly, at this point, she still refuses to give up those belongings, it is really hopeless.

"Do you have enough food? Can you feed all the citizens?" Xie Xiaoyu reminded them with rare kindness.

With war on the horizon, nothing is more important than food.

Unfortunately, he was doomed to be disappointed, the two monsters didn't hear it at all, and what they were thinking at this moment was how to take away the most valuable thing?
There are many white tracks on the sea, all facing south.

There are huge ships sailing on the sea. They are pulled by big fish. Although the speed is not fast, fortunately, this is not from Middle Earth to Tianbao State, and the farthest territory is only 10,000+ miles.

There is food in the things loaded on the boat, but more are spirit beads, coins and various treasures.

The destination of these ships is mostly Tianle City.

Tianle City no longer had the hustle and bustle of the past, just like Linhai City before the catastrophe, there was an atmosphere of depression and tension everywhere.

All the shops were closed, all the streets and alleys were blocked with stones, and the narrow gaps between houses were filled with bricks and stones.

The whole city became a huge fortress.

In charge of transforming the city is a group of think tanks, led by Hui.

"When Mokong built this city, he must have anticipated today." The old fox looked at the blocked streets one by one, at the connected blocks, and at the huge roofs that were laid directly on the roofs , I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

It is precisely because of the crowded houses, the narrow streets, and the unique layout that it is easier to transform this place into a fortress than any other city.

"It's such a scheming, it's really a step to see ten steps, I thought he was just greedy for convenience, plus he was born petty, I didn't expect..." Another counselor who is famous for his wisdom also sighed beside him.

While talking, there was a soft creaking sound from the side, and a pillar tens of feet high rose from the ground.

More than a dozen such pillars have been erected in the whole city.

"The asking price for this pillar is [-] Lingzhu, which is really cruel." A guy who was obviously the assistant minister said with a painful face, looking at him, it seemed that the money was his.

"It can't be helped. Except for him, no one has that kind of ability... However, one hundred thousand spirit beads is not outrageous. I watched him cast it. The cost of materials alone is close to [-] spirit beads, plus labor The cost is almost [-] Lingzhu, and he only earns [-] at most." This time, the old fox said a word of conscience.

The one who spoke was definitely not willing to admit that he was wrong. He said confidently, "Money is trivial. The problem is the real good stuff. He won't give it to us. I heard that he has an illusion in his hand..."

Another think tank gave a wicked smile: "Don't even think about it, that's his sweetheart."

Another demon approached beside him. This demon had a yellow face and yellow teeth. He asked, "Is it really that useful?"

"The duel field has won 26 games in a row. Is it fake?" The other think tank lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Except for the human race, more than [-]% of the new Linhai City are warriors, even those who are less than a hundred years old Little demons should not be underestimated either, they may not be your opponents if they fight alone, but if they join forces, they can definitely kill you."

"Is it because of the Asura Realm?" the assistant asked hastily.

"That's right." The person who spoke obviously knew the new Linhai City and the illusion very well: "The Asura Realm is also divided into layers, and each layer has different strengths. One layer is for ordinary little monsters to cultivate. Ten days is equivalent to one day outside, seven years outside, 70 years inside, even if a small catfish is thrown inside, it will become a big shark when it comes out."

The more this guy talked, the more he envied him. Finally, he glanced at the old fox next to him and said sourly, "It's a pity...he doesn't sell it."

The old fox remained calm, he knew that this guy was probing, and wanted Prince Yu to take the lead and propose conditions to Mo Kong.It's a pity that these guys don't know, the two of them have already negotiated terms, at most one month, Bafangyun City will also have a fantasy.

The prince of his family does not practice the divine way, and no one is good at imparting skills, so the other layers are useless, leaving only the Shura world.

They won't disclose this matter, let alone New Linhai City.

Seeing that the old fox didn't respond, the think tank was about to continue persuading him, when a guard hurried over.

"Please, Mo Xiang." The guard said out of breath.

"Everyone is here?" Hui asked immediately.

"Most of them have arrived, and the ones that haven't arrived are not far from here. Obviously it's not because of Lu Yuan's relationship, so Mo Xiang said to leave them alone." The guard replied.

"A meeting, a meeting." The people next to me couldn't wait any longer.

It is important to transform Tianle City, but it is more important for them to come here to discuss countermeasures. How do they decide how to fight?Is it defense or offense?Is it a preemptive strike?Or is it getting closer?Or guard against death?

The meeting place is in the middle of the duel field, where a big tent has already been erected.

However, none of the demons who came to the meeting went into the tent, and all stayed outside the tent, because there was a huge peach-shaped thing floating not far from the tent. This thing was extremely complicated, and it was densely covered with various There are various magic circles, and there are circles of magic circles underneath and around them. These magic circles are intertwined with each other, which looks extremely complicated.Numerous metal filaments were pulled out from the "peach core", like a spider's web. These metal wires are definitely not decorations, and they are covered with colorful crystals.

This is the center of the giant protective array protecting Tianle City, the part responsible for command and control, and the core of mana gathering.

Those who came to the meeting were either the lord, or one of the right and left. Their brains were much better than ordinary monsters, but they were also dizzy.

"How much can you understand?" one of the demons asked the old fox in a low voice.

The old fox's cheeks twitched, and he said dryly: "It would be great if Tong was still alive, maybe he can understand better."

A monster next to him was suddenly unconvinced: "Not necessarily, I also have a rough understanding of formations. I had a discussion with Tong before, and we were the same, but I couldn't understand the mystery of this thing. At most, I could see that part of it was related to the phantom formation."

The more he talked, the more discouraged he became.

At this moment, Xie Xiaoyu's voice came from inside the tent: "Everyone, come in, the meeting is over."

"Go in." The old fox pushed a few people beside him.

All the demons entered the tent one after another, please let me go.

There is a large round table inside, and there are rows of chairs beside the round table, with names written on the chairs.Those who are qualified to sit at the table are all representatives of big forces like Bafangyun City and New Linhai City, and Montaigne is actually one of them, he is the representative of that loose alliance.

After a period of confusion, all the representatives found their respective positions.

There were five empty chairs, which seemed to wink like that.

Xie Xiaoyu looked at the five chairs, showing a sneer.

He coughed and was about to speak when he accidentally saw a representative with a flickering expression.

Those who are qualified to sit here are not lords, but also ministers. They are high-ranking and powerful. Even if they have no temperament, they will at least give people a unique taste.

Such a character was easily overlooked in the past, but here it seems a bit garish.

Another reason that makes him feel wrong is that this person has rough hands, like a coolie, and the clothes on his body don't fit well, and this person obviously takes too much care of the clothes on his body.

"Who are you?" Xie Xiaoyu pointed at that guy.

The representative was taken aback, and he stammered quickly, "I...I... am here on behalf of Bailianling. I am Zuo Xianghu, Bailianling."

Xie Xiaoyu frowned even more.

This guy referred to himself as "the next", not like a leftist prime minister at all, stammering and evasive, more like a servant.

Not only he was suspicious, but other representatives also felt strange. One of the representatives asked loudly: "Isn't the left prime minister of Bailianling? When did it change?"

"Take him down and interrogate him carefully to see if he is a spy sent by the ghost clan." Xie Xiaoyu stopped guessing randomly and simply arrested him.

"Don't—" That sneaky guy immediately knelt down on the ground and wailed loudly: "I'm just a small official, I don't know what happened, my lord suddenly promoted me to be the leftist, and let me come here Meeting, I didn't mean to deceive you guys, really, I swear it."

This guy was as timid as a mouse, knocking his head loudly.

"No, this guy's master must have escaped." Hui slapped his thigh violently.

Xie Xiaoyu also understood, and the other representatives also understood after a little thought.

"It may not be an escape." A small lord whispered, he has a good relationship with the lord of Bailianling: "Maybe he just wants to go to Middle Earth."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The old fox was the first to stand up: "If they plan to go to Middle Earth, they can say hello to us."

“This is getting cold feet,” shouted another representative.

For a while, the tent became extremely noisy.

Xie Xiaoyu glanced back and forth at those representatives, and suddenly, he pointed to another representative and asked, "Come out."

The guy pointed at was even more straightforward. He knelt on the ground and howled loudly: "It has nothing to do with me! The lord asked me to come. He and his confidants have been away for several days."

There was an uproar in the tent, and all the representatives stood up.

"It seems that some people have no confidence in this battle." The old fox said coldly.

Xie Xiaoyu is no longer interested in the meeting. If this matter is not resolved, more lords will definitely run away: "The meeting is cancelled. Let's investigate thoroughly first. How many lords have escaped?"

The representatives hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that everyone was waiting and watching, Hui stood up again: "I agree. Fighting is based on momentum. Now that some people are fleeing the battle, morale is gone. No matter how good the strategy is, it is impossible to win."

In this matter, he had to stand by Xie Xiaoyu's side, otherwise the battle would not be fought, and it would be better to surrender to the ghost clan.

"The enemy is at present, these guys run away and save their strength, but we fight the ghosts to death, and our strength is greatly reduced. When the war is over, those guys who run away will definitely run back. They who have not lost their strength will definitely Get the most benefit." A skinny man also spoke, and he looked at the problem from another angle.

As soon as these words came out, all the representatives realized the seriousness of the matter.

Who dares to fight desperately?Everyone will definitely try their best to preserve their strength, and even run away like those guys.

"I want to contact His Highness the Crown Prince," said the old fox.

Those lords had already whispered to each other, and they were not representatives of the lords, they also stood up one after another, followed the old fox out of the tent, and they also wanted to contact their respective lords.

Xie Xiaoyu also left, he also had things to do.

Not only did he want to report the matter to the princess, but he also wanted to determine which lords had escaped?

He just glanced at it just now, and he already found that there must be problems with at least six representatives. How many of them have not been discovered by him?
In addition, he had to confirm with Zhongtu. Although it is unlikely that these guys defected to Zhongtu, this greeting must be called.

As time passed, those representatives returned to the tent one by one. Their eyes were full of determination and even a hint of fierceness.

Xie Xiaoyu was the last one to return to the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he immediately said: "I have already checked, and there are fifteen problems in total, and the leader is Huo Xiao."

Hearing the word Huo Xiao, all the representatives were shocked again.

This guy and Lan are old enemies, so it's not hard to understand.

"How can we be sure that they escaped? What if they really have to go to Middle Earth?" A representative couldn't help asking, he was very aware of the grievances and grievances between Huo Xiao and Xin Linhai City, and Huo Xiao was afraid of being sacrificed as cannon fodder It is also understandable.

Xie Xiaoyu guessed that some people would think so, fortunately he had prepared in advance.

"My Highness has just contacted the Demon Realm and asked an ancestor to confirm their location. It turned out that Huo Xiao and his party were flying to the south instead of going to the Middle Earth. Through the Demon Realm, my Highness also contacted the Middle Earth, especially It's Prince Ming. Ask him if he has any connection with Huo Xiao? Ming Taizi swears that he has nothing to do with Huo Xiao. My Highness asked the leaders of several other major powers in China, and they also denied that Huo Xiao wanted to join them. "Thank you Xiaoyu threw out a series of evidence, and finally he said: "I also sent people to their territory, and found that the territory was locked. After arresting a leader in charge of fishing, I learned from him that Huo Xiao had already left the territory. It has been several days, and when I left, I brought all the clansmen and cronies with me."

"Damn it, we must not let them go." Hui pretended to be angry. This was what he and Xie Xiaoyu had discussed in advance: "Since ancient times, the punishment for deserters has been death without mercy."

"I agree, we should hunt down these guys immediately." Another representative also raised his arm. This one was not Xie Xiaoyu's entrustment. punishment.

As I said just now, these guys have set a very bad example, which not only hurts morale, but also makes all parties fear war and desperately want to keep their own strength.

The result is bound to lead to disastrous failure.

"Who are you going to hunt down? Don't worry about anything else. Huo Xiao is a sky demon, and there may be two other sky demons. Who is responsible for dealing with them?" A representative asked loudly.

At this moment, a ray of light descended from the sky, and a bald young man appeared from the light: "I'm one of them. I have long disliked Huo Xiao, and I wanted to kill this guy from the beginning."

Another ray of light fell, and this time it was Lan: "As the leader of the alliance, I will fight against it myself."

The representatives present look at me and I look at you, and no one intends to be the first to speak.

The thoughts of these representatives are not the same. Some people want to shirk for Huo Xiao. If Huo Xiao is let go now, they will be able to escape in an emergency in the future.Another group of people believed that Huo Xiao had to pay the price, and the remaining group of people chose to wait and see.

But now, they dare not speak.

Xie Xiaoyu was the first to speak.

"I don't think there is any need for Mr. Lame to go. Huo Xiao is good at flying away, and has a dark and ruthless nature. Once he sees that the situation is not good, he will probably escape alone. If he wants to catch up with him, this conquest team must be good at everything." Fly," he said.

The meaning of these words is very clear, the only ones who participated in the hunt could be the Bird Clan.

"What about Huo Xiao's territory? He only took away his relatives and powerful vassals, and left behind the territory and people. According to the rules of the Yaozu, those who escaped will be killed without mercy, so how will his territory and people be distributed?" asked the representative immediately.

"Those who participate in the conquest must have the right to choose first." Xie Xiaoyu is not a fool, and will not take advantage of others in vain.

"How can this be?" The representative immediately yelled, and then he began to incite: "I am also willing to participate in the conquest."

The other representatives were also eager to try it out. They had just realized that the war with the ghost clan was nothing lucrative at all. The ghost clan didn't need food, drink, or production. The so-called territory was just a place to stand.
"No problem, as long as two conditions are met, I have already said the first condition, you must be good at flying." Xie Xiaoyu knows that eating alone is not fat. They eat meat, so they must let others eat soup, but the control must be in his hands. In his hand: "Second, you must obey the orders. Now that you have generals, all you need are soldiers, so if you want to join in, don't think too highly of yourself."

All of a sudden, they whispered to each other.

For these two requests, some representatives can fully accept them, but others cannot agree. They are either not from the Bird Clan, or they don't want to be inferior.

"Stop arguing." Xie Xiaoyu yelled: "I'm not discussing with you, what I just said is an order, there is no room for bargaining."
