The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

This time, Xue'er was surprised, and Chen Subaru also broke the silence and asked curiously: "Captain Longying, how did the resistance army of 20,000 people be so quickly depleted to this point?"

Long Ying replied: "Quickly...in just a few days, half of the people were lost."

When Chen Subaru heard these words, he was shocked. Then he searched for information in his mind and guessed: "Is it because of the battle in Chengdu?"

Long Ying replied: "It can be said that it is, but not entirely."

At this time, Xue'er had quietly stood up, took two steps back, quietly summoned the white sword, and sat up again.

Long Ying naturally noticed her movements, turned to look at Xue'er who was watching Chen Subaru, and asked: "Little girl, can you think of why the monks like us in the Resistance Army came here after experiencing the initial invasion of monsters? Was the loss so heavy within a few days?”

Xueer's attention had just turned from Long Ying to Chen Subaru, and she didn't notice Long Ying's sudden question. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, raised her head and pouted in thought for a moment, and then expressed her thoughts. .

She swung her little feet and said: "I guess, although you resistance forces all seem to be monks who are good at fighting, the monks who can survive the first invasion of the demon clan will probably not give their lives to other factions easily. . To deal with a forced frontal offensive and defensive battle, the monks lack coordination and cooperation, and you are not familiar with the demon clan's tactics, so the consumption is very huge."

"Is it a necessary offensive and defensive battle?" Long Ying repeated Xue'er's words, then nodded with satisfaction and continued, "It is indeed a sudden battle, but the battlefield is not in Chengdu."

Chen Subaru asked in surprise: "Not on the Chengdu battlefield? Where is that?"

Long Ying replied with a serious expression: "It's at the center of the demon clan now, and we are the attacker."

At this time, Youye recovered from her lost mood. She glanced at the little girl in white clothes in the sky, showing a hint of imperceptible relief. She straightened her chest, knelt down in an upright position, and accepted Long Ying's words: "Wen Ruo, although the ghost temple no longer exists, the ghost gate guards are still there. With the cultivation of the great commander and the strength of the original ghost gate guards, , they have become the main force of the Resistance Army. All Resistance Army monks must obey the orders of the Grand Commander.

"The commander-in-chief and the ghost ghost boss are both thoughtful people. They learned about the situation in Yizhou at that time through various channels. After defeating the reinforcements of the Jin Dynasty gathered in Jingzhou, the demon tribe completely pacified Bajun. They moved their army eastward, occupied the entire southern Yizhou and cut off the support route of the Jin Dynasty from the high mountains in the northern part of Ningzhou. The main force of the demon army was directed towards Shu County.

"The demon clan has a powerful red-armored army, which is their absolute main force. They can attack all the way and be invincible. Many of the large formations arranged by many ancient sects in Yizhou and the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi League have been defeated by this red-armored army. After the legion conquered, the monks from various sects suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat to Chengdu.

"After the Commander-in-Chief and the Netherworld Ghost Elder learned of these situations, it was absolutely impossible for the Resistance Army monks to do the mantis's job. But if they sit back and watch Shu County change hands, Yizhou will completely fall into the hands of the Monster Clan, and everyone's situation will be different. very difficult.

"Therefore, the commander-in-chief and the Netherworld Ghost Elder planned a resistance operation that swept across the entire eastern and southern Yizhou. They mobilized 70% of the resistance monks to avoid the main force of the demon clan in the three counties of Ba, Jiangyang, and Shenli, and specially Attack the demon clan's supply line. Although these demon clan are physically powerful, they also consume a lot of various magic weapons. Therefore, the actions of the resistance army caused a lot of trouble for the overwhelming demon clan's offensive. It had to be slowed down due to lack of supplies.”

Xue'er tilted her head in confusion and raised her own question: "Sister You Ye, since the commander-in-chief and the ghost ghost elders have adopted guerrilla tactics, and the monks will avoid their sharp edges and will not fight decisively with them, then the resistance army should not Will we suffer too much loss?”

When Chen Subaru was talking to Long Ying before, Youye had already matched the Xueer sisters. At this moment, she smiled and nodded in response: "Sister Xue'er is right. The Netherworld Ghost Elder and the Grand Commander have made adequate preparations for this battle. They dispersed the flame crystals and established ten regular mobile stations in the three counties. A small stronghold. Therefore, after the attack is successful, the monks will escape the pursuit of the demon clan as long as they can enter the flame crystal barrier."

"The demon soldiers transporting supplies were caught off guard by the mysterious attacks of the Resistance Army monks, and their main force had to face the flawless clones of the Shu County defenders. Therefore, this battle can be said to be very successful."

After You Ye finished speaking, just when Xue'er was about to continue asking, Long Ying spoke first: "Although the guerrilla warfare was successful, the demon soldiers are already powerful. Even if the supplies are insufficient, they can still defeat the Shu governor in front of them. Army. Our actions only delayed the fall of Chengdu and bought time for the Zhengyi League to retreat and establish a defense line in Zitong County.

"However, the monks of the Resistance Army discovered an important piece of information during the guerrilla war. At the junction of the three counties, the demon army established a huge base camp. The reason why they were able to obtain this information was because a man of more than 20 The human reconnaissance team lost contact, and the monks who went to search for it also lost their traces.

"There happened to be a temporary stronghold of Flame Crystal Mobile Barrier nearby that was about to be set off. These strongholds were guarded by fifty original Ghost Gate guards led by a leader of the original Ghost Gate guards. At that time, the leader learned of the situation Then he decided to take the mobile barrier to search for this team.

"Fortunately, this team was only frightened by the saint's phantom, and the ghost gate guards moved the barrier to save them in time."

Under Long Ying's detailed explanation, Chen Subaru had a clear understanding of the situation in Yizhou at that time. He mused: "Although the strength of the original ghost sect has been weakened due to damage, most of it still remains above the realm of god transformation. I speculate that since the commander has grasped the position of the center of the demon clan, the next action will be inevitable It won't be a small fight. Now I finally understand why the resistance army suffered heavy losses in just a few days. This undoubtedly triggered a decisive battle in advance."

However, Long Ying did not seem to agree with Chen Subaru's analysis. He shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Wen Ruo, things are far more complicated than you think. You may have heard that the demon clan is because of the Resistance Army. We were restrained in Yizhou due to our actions, but in fact, this conflict has little to do with our actions.”

Xue'er seemed to have grasped the key point in her words. She asked curiously: "Captain Longying, according to your previous statement, the saint's shadow is located at the center of the demon clan. Logically speaking, you don't even have a chance to get close, so how is it possible? Where to start a fierce battle?"

At this moment, You Ye, who had been silent all this time, spoke: "Let me explain this matter."

After sorting out her thoughts, she said: "Regarding the phantom of the saint, the ghost ghosts and the others plan to use all the flame crystals and demon flame stones to create a large barrier..."

Following You Ye's description, the time has arrived on the eve of the battle at the demon clan's base camp.

In the temporary camp of the resistance army, the commander-in-chief, the ghost ghost elder and the leaders of the resistance armies of all parties held a pre-war meeting.

At the end of the meeting, Commander Xu Qingfeng said: "I will repeat the key points of this battle. We have mobilized a total of 16,000 monks. The establishment of the barrier will be left to our ghost gate guards. After we complete the barrier In the end, the guards of the Ghost Gate will be completely exposed to the attacks of the demon clan, and we ask you to attack with all your strength to help us destroy this demon clan’s base camp.”

Everyone heard the order and when everyone returned to the team to prepare, only Netherworld Guilao, You Ye and the commander-in-chief Xu Qingfeng were left in the empty camp.

The ghost ghost old Xie Youming took off his confident disguise and said with a worried expression: "Commander Xu, many people will die in this battle."

Xu Qingfeng's expression was equally solemn, but he said firmly: "If we don't fight this battle, more people will die!"

Xie Youming frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are we willing to sacrifice so many lives just for the shadow of a saint?"

Xu Qingfeng said: "Even if our entire army is wiped out, this goal may not be achieved."

Xie Youming smiled bitterly and said: "Who can know what we ghost monks have done for the entire Jin Dynasty?"

Xu Qingfeng ignored Xie Youming's complaints. He looked at Youye and said, "Girl, if everything goes well in this battle, it will be good. If something unexpected happens, I will clear a way out for you. You must bring these flames with you." The crystal stones must not fall into the hands of the demon clan."

Youye was speechless. She bowed deeply to Xu Qingfeng, but there was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Xie Youming had insight into Youye's thoughts and softly comforted you: "Youye, don't let those distracting thoughts bother you. You are still young, and there are not many monks left in our ghost temple. Liu'er is still unconscious, and she shoulders the burden of the ghost gate. The fate of the world is very important. If you stay, you must not only shoulder the responsibility of protecting the ghost gate, but also shoulder the responsibility of guarding this land. "

A warm smile appeared on Xu Qingfeng's face, and he said sincerely: "My child, Long Ying has been left by me to protect Liu'er's safety. If our trip fails, you must step forward and protect this land. Your Majesty, I have left you here. The Ghost Gate is to protect this land, and the existence of our Ghost Gate guards is precisely for this mission. I know that the Ghost Temple is your root. Although it no longer exists, the land that gave birth to the Ghost Temple. It still exists. Youye, you must live and protect the ghost gate properly, do you understand?"

At this time, Xie Youming suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Commander Xu, why should we be so pessimistic? Our strength is not inferior to those demon soldiers!"

Xu Qingfeng also smiled and replied: "What Mr. Gui said is absolutely true. However, it is the way to be a general to worry about defeat before thinking about victory, hahaha."

Seeing these two old monsters laughing heartily, You Ye's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
