Chapter 144 Breakthrough

  Perhaps it was the resolute action from the soldiers. The moment Xu Yuan finished speaking, Captain Wang yelled outside the house:

   “Come on!”

   “Squeak——”

  The old-fashioned wooden door was pushed open from the outside almost immediately, and the adjutant standing outside came to the front of the hall and half-knelt down, cupping his fists and saying:

   “General Wang, what are your orders?”

  Xiaowei Wang got up, while briefly arranging the work:

   “Immediately take someone to the City Defense Department to check the operation of the various formations in the city, and inform He Xinchuan that the Second Battalion is ready to go out of the city to meet Li Shengwu at any time.”

  “.”

  Adjutant’s eyes were a little stunned. Although he didn’t know the reason for the period, he directly clasped his fists and accepted the order:

   “Yes!”

   “Go down.”

  After the words fell, the adjutant did not stop at all, and directly used the military skills, and flew towards the outside.

  Wang Xiaowei stopped when he walked to the door, and glanced back at Xu Yuan in the room:

   “Mr. Zhou, Wang is temporarily absent.”

   “Wang Xiaowei, please go ahead, my senior sister and I will go back to the inn first. If something really happens to the city defense formation, Wang Xiaowei can send someone to inform me.”

  The night gradually deepened.

  After two hours.

  Led by the general whom he had met before, Xu Yuan climbed to the city wall of Shengshan County.

  Compared with the 20-foot-tall city wall of Jingjiang Fu City, the city wall of Shengshan County can only be regarded as a small bumpkin.

  Three feet and four feet, the aftermath of the battle remained on the hard bluestone, pits were dug, and even some places could still see the exposed pattern.

  Following beside the general without saying a word, Xu Yuan could see that the complexion of this burly middle-aged man was so gloomy that he could get out of the water.

  It seems that something happened.

  Shrouded by the phantom fog formation, there is no moonlight in the sky, and there is only the flickering fire of the bonfire on the city wall.

  walked silently for a certain distance, and performed a little exercise, Xu Yuan saw several generals in military uniforms at the end of the city wall, including Wang Xiaowei.

  Several generals standing on the city wall saw Xu Yuan approaching, sized him up with their eyes, and then left in silence. Only Captain Wang greeted him head-on.

  After standing still, Captain Wang is still straight to the point:

   “Mr. Zhou, Wang will confirm with you again. Do you really have no direct evidence to prove that Wanxiangzong wants to massacre the city?”

  Xu Yuan shook his head slightly when he heard this:

   “It’s impossible for Wanxiang Sect to leave direct evidence for this kind of thing. You should not understand, Captain Wang.”

   Captain Wang was quiet for a moment, then heaved a long sigh:

   “Exactly.”

  Xu Yuan looked out of the city sideways.

  Standing on the city wall on this side, you can clearly see the Shengshan frontier army forming an army formation outside the city, slaughtering the monster beasts drained from the phantom fog formation:

   “Lieutenant Wang, how is the situation now?”

   Captain Wang pondered for a while, and also looked at the army formation over there:

   “The number of monsters in the phantom fog formation has more than doubled compared to previous years.”

   “No, I mean the communication wafer.”

  Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

  If the communication wafer can still function, then he can shake people over.

  Regarding his question, Captain Wang remained silent.

   Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed.

  Looking at the reaction of the other party, the communication wafer is probably invalid.

  In other words, today’s Shengshan County has completely cut off all contact with the outside world and has become an out-and-out isolated city.

  However, Xu Yuan felt that if the communication wafer had failed, Captain Wang would not have shown such a look:

   “There is also a problem with the city defense array?”

   “Yes.”

   Captain Wang’s voice was deep, looking at the patterns on the city wall, he sighed helplessly:

  ”The aura pool of the city protection formation has been tampered with, and now the entire formation is only 20% charged.”

   “Where is the magic fog formation?”

   “There is a problem with the control pattern of the formation, and now we can’t control the large formation.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan frowned, pondered slightly, and asked in a low voice:

   “When Xu Xinyao was engraving the formation, wouldn’t the Shengshan frontier army be the first to control the formation?”

  Although the materials for the construction of the formation were provided by the Vientiane Sect, the Fourth Sister should not be so stupid as to hand over such a matter of principle to the Zong as it concerns the lives of the people in a city. The door is in control.

   Captain Wang was silent for a moment, then said:

  ”According to the formation drawing given by Ms. Xu, our frontier army in Shengshan County is indeed the number one in controlling the formation.”

   “So the blueprint was changed secretly?” Xu Yuan squinted his eyes: “Xu Xinyao should not make such a low-level mistake.”

   “Boom!”

   Captain Wang slammed his fist on the battlement, his fist clenched tightly:

  ”They should have done it after Miss Xu left!”

   “After leaving?” Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

  Wang Xiaowei’s tone was a little helpless:

  ”Miss Xu’s third brother had an accident, and Ms. Xu had to leave before the phantom mist formation was completed. Most likely during the period when it was finally completed, those formation masters of the Vientiane Sect secretly changed The formation map left by Miss Xu.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan sighed:

  ”Even if she doesn’t leave, the result will be the same. As long as the Wanxiang sect doesn’t give up the plan to create ghost fog, it’s just the difference between earlier and later.”

   As he spoke, Xu Yuan changed the subject and asked straightforwardly:

   “So, Captain Wang, what are you looking for me for now?”

  “.”

  Be quiet for a moment,

  Xiaowei Wang rubbed his hands, and his loud voice became hesitant:

   “Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, and your senior sister, can you help me in Shengshan County? We will pay you.”

  Xu Yuan was not surprised by Wang Xiaowei’s request.

  Now there is no help in the isolated city, and there is a third-rank grand master helping to sweep the formation. Under the current situation, it is tantamount to sending carbon in the snow.

  However, Xu Yuan did not rush to agree, looking at the bloody Shengshan border troops outside the city, he whispered:

   “Lieutenant Wang, are you going to defend the city?”

  “.”

  This question seems to have stopped Captain Wang. He looked at him and said with a little hesitation:

  ”The opening of the phantom fog array is getting bigger and bigger, and now thousands of monsters will flow out every hour. There will be more than 3,000 beasts, and the army can’t kill them, so they can only rely on the city wall to defend.”

  Xu Yuan shook his head lightly and asked:

   “Lieutenant Wang, do you think you can hold on?

   “Or, do you think the Wanxiang Sect will allow you to guard Shengshan County?”

   “.” Captain Wang was silent.

  Xu Yuan sighed and said in a low voice:

   “Lieutenant Wang, do you know what the only advantage the Shengshan Frontier Army has over the Wanxiang Sect is now?”

  “.”

   After a moment of silence, Captain Wang took the test:

   “Large defense array?”

   “Of course not.”

   “What’s that?”

   “Poor information.”

  Xu Yuan looked at Xiaowei Wang and paused every word:

   “The Wanxiang Sect doesn’t know that you already know about their plan to create ghost fog in Shengshan County.”

  Speaking,

  Xu Yuan looked at the puzzlement in the eyes of the burly middle-aged man in front of him, smiled and said:

   “Lieutenant Wang, poor information is very important.”

  ”If the Wanxiang Sect knew about this, they would never boil the frogs in warm water like they do now, but would directly put all the monsters in the phantom fog formation in one go.”

  Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at the army formation outside the city:

   “Just imagine, those tens of thousands of monsters trapped in the phantom fog burst out of the fog at once. Can you, the Wansheng Mountain frontier army, hold it?”

   Captain Wang clenched his fist slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, took a deep breath, and said:

   “You mean, we have to break out?”

  Xu Yuan didn’t speak, but it was basically the same as the default.

  It is inevitable that you cannot keep it.

  If you do mental arithmetic but don’t care, you don’t know how many backhands the Wanxiang sect has left behind.

  The monsters in the first round may be just one of them.

  Blowing up the city wall, causing civil strife, and high-level cultivators sneaking into the city to create chaos are all possible.

  But breaking through means giving up the 400,000 civilian refugees inside and outside Shengshan.

  Silent, gradually spreading in the cold wind on the city wall

   Today’s single update will be added tomorrow
