"Hey, it's like this. When I joined the patrol last time, I went on two missions. I found that in the long border between us and the other side, many animals pulled down... that thing, these animals eat grass, they..."

Naruto was interrupted by Wu Xiaoyun before he finished speaking, "The city lord is asking you a question, and you are talking about it in front of the city lord...that stinky thing is too impolite!"

After Wu Xiaoyun finished speaking, she involuntarily covered her nose, as if Naruto was pulled out of an animal's body.

"It's okay, Naruto, please continue." The city lord knew that Naruto was very reliable in his work and would not make those silly jokes on such an occasion, so he asked Naruto to finish his sentence.

"Okay, then I will continue," Naruto continued, "In order to avoid misunderstanding, let me say the conclusion first, I think it is possible to build observation points on the border, and once the enemy is found somewhere, light the fire , so that another observation point far away can see it, and thus also ignite the fire, and pass on the news step by step, so that even if a stronghold far away is attacked, we will be here almost immediately You'll know what's going on there!"

The city lord stood up, and he seemed a little excited, "You can see the fire at night, but what if it's during the day?"

"You can use things pulled out by animals, and you can pile them on the fire to emit thick smoke, which can be seen during the day, and you can control the size of the fire and smoke to indicate the strength of the enemy." Naruto replied. .

Chapter 221 Beacon Tower

The city lord thought about it quickly, and slammed the table, "This is great! If a large group of enemies appear in the distance, we will know that there are not many defenders in their city, and we can directly attack their lair!"

"Yes, but in order to ensure the transmission of information, the fire should be built at a high place, and special personnel should be assigned to guard it." Naruto continued.

At this time, not only the city lord, but even Wu Xiaoyun opened her eyes wide and looked at Naruto in admiration. She never thought that the nasty Naruto would be so clever and come up with such a good solution.

The Lord of Flame City accepted Naruto's suggestion, and immediately sent an order to build beacon towers along the route, and Naruto supervised the work.

Naruto didn't immediately ask the city lord to go to Wushuangmen for further study, because although the city lord has contact with Wushuangmen, it's not the time to make a request. When his credit is greater, he can't refuse himself. up.

Naruto selected some nimble soldiers and led them to build beacon towers along the route. The project is not difficult. There are already some strongholds such as fortresses along the route, as long as the original buildings are repaired and remodeled. Then prepare some materials in advance, and then train some personnel to tell them when to set off the beacon fire, how big the beacon fire is to indicate the strength of the enemy, and the duration to indicate whether the enemy is still attacking, etc.

After Naruto set up one place, he went to the next one, and then went back to check them one by one, and tested them all. In just three days, all the beacon towers were built.

With these beacon towers, coupled with the other reconnaissance methods of Flame City, it is basically possible to know the enemy's movements in time.

And Yanguang City put the most powerful army on the defense of Yanguang City, because the location of Yanguang City is very close to the border, the enemy is likely to attack Yanguang City directly.

It is not impossible if Jincheng chooses to attack other places, but even if they win, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Yanguang City.

And Naruto was assigned to Wu Xiaoyun's group by the city lord. The reason for the city lord was that these people were special. For example, Wu Xiaoyun and Dai Guang were disciples of Wushuang's sect, while Naruto was obviously not like an ordinary soldier. Xiaolan, the blacksmith's daughter who was rescued in the mine, is also a regular soldier, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are willing to contribute to the city of flames and they all have their own specialties.

When Naruto saw Xiaolan again, both of them were very happy. Xiaolan was because Naruto was her savior, and Naruto was because Xiaolan fought side by side with him, and she also used a sledgehammer. And she is also equipped with armor. Although she is not big and she is a little girl, Naruto can't help but feel a sense of intimacy when he sees her.

Xiaolan is now at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the speed of upgrading is quite fast. Of course, it is still far behind Naruto.

Their team is the Ninth Brigade of Flame City, led by the older Dai Guang. Although his cultivation is not the highest, he is mature and prudent and he was sent by Wushuang because the city lord appointed him as the leader of the Ninth Army.

The captain, while Naruto and Wu Xiaoyun assisted Dai Guang as the vice captains.

According to the city lord's wishes, their army is a mobile force, and when the regular army of Flame City cannot resist the opponent's attack, they will provide support from it.

Seeing that the war was about to break out, Yanguang City's activities on the border remained the same as before, trying to give Jincheng the illusion that they were completely defenseless.

And Jincheng couldn't hold back anymore, the masters they secretly transferred from all over the country were already ready, and Jincheng's several major mercenary regiments also expressed under the coercion and lure of Jincheng that they would follow Jincheng to attack Flame City .

In the inner city of Jincheng, the core members of Jincheng lived. Apart from the city lord Taining, there were also his guards and relatives and children, all of whom were loyal to him.

In the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, a Golden Core cultivator was sitting opposite the City Lord. Tai Ning hesitated, and he put down his teacup and said to the Golden Core cultivator: "Although we have prepared well, the Flame City Our strength is not weak, even if we defeat them, we will have to pay a considerable price!"

"City Lord Tai, didn't we agree, as long as you defeat Flame City, you will also have a share of the spiritual grass forest found in the northern border!" Jindan cultivator is thin and thin, but his aura is strong. Not weak at all, the strong aura overwhelmed City Lord Tai, who was only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, a little uncomfortable.

"I don't want the Spirit Grass Forest, as long as there is business in the Spirit Grass there, you can share it with me!" City Lord Tai is not a fool. The newly discovered Spirit Grass Forest in the northern border is a strategic location for several sects. Can you share it with him?It's better to have some rights to manage spiritual grass.

"That's fine, I'll tell them." Golden Core cultivator's tone was very affirmative, "As long as you can take down the Flame City, everything will be easy!"

"May I ask, what is the connection between attacking Flame City and Spirit Grass Forest?" Taining asked.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. The spirit grass forest just passes by the junction of our three families. Everyone wants to have more. We are here to use the flame city to show our strength to Wushuangmen. Let them be more acquainted, and withdraw the people who came to our territory to gather spirit grass!" The Golden Core cultivator did not hide anything, and directly stated the purpose of the Shuanghemen to provoke the war between the two families.

Tai Ning actually thought of this, and now he just confirmed it from the mouth of the elder of the Shuanghemen. He also has his own plans, because Jincheng and Yanguang City are both on the main road leading to the center of the empire, so if Yan If Guangcheng is occupied, it will basically monopolize the passage to do business with the center of the empire in this large area nearby. At that time, half of the business between the empire and the double door and Wushuang door will be within the scope of his control. After that, it will bring him huge benefits.

"If the Shuanghe Sect sends more masters to help out, wouldn't we be more confident?" Tai Ning suggested, "Why don't you go back and tell the Sect Master that you only need to send five or six Golden Core monks to attack Yanguang?" There is no difficulty at all in the city!"

"No," Brother Jindan immediately shook his head, "Our three sects need a lot of manpower to guard the territory in the Spirit Grass Forest. If we send all the masters here, we will suffer in the Spirit Grass Forest. But don't worry. , Wushuangmen also couldn’t send decent experts over, unlike our Shuanghemen who sent me here!”

Chapter 222 Night Attack on Flame City

"So that's how it is!" Taining nodded and made up his mind, "This matter is settled like this, and we will act tonight!"

Brother Jindan was stunned, he didn't expect Taining's decision to be so quick, "City Master Tai is a straightforward person, Yanguang City must not have thought that we would launch it so suddenly, this time they will definitely be caught off guard!"

At night, an alarm suddenly sounded in Flame City, and the sharp sound woke up the sleeping people. Many soldiers who were resting understood what the alarm meant, and they all returned to their teams to report.

For the monk army, war means both risks and rewards. After every major war, as long as they can survive and defeat the opponent, they can get very rich rewards. The cultivation resources they get can allow them to practice for a year Even a few years.

Therefore, when the war broke out, these monks who regarded cultivation as life rarely escaped. Not only would they be caught and executed, but they would also lose a chance to greatly improve their cultivation.

Especially these soldiers in Yanguang City, many of them still shoulder the task of guarding their families, and they will not run away.

Naruto rushed to the city wall immediately after hearing the siren, and then saw the peak fire lighted in the distance. Looking at the fire, the number of enemies attacking them was not small.

In addition to seeing the beacon fires lit at the nearest stronghold to Flame City, they also saw beacons at farther away strongholds. That is to say, the enemy may have launched an attack on the strongholds along the line at the same time.

"Naruto, the city lord told you to come over." Wu Xiaoyun ran towards Naruto, conveying the city lord's order while running.

Naruto followed Wu Xiaoyun to the city lord, and saluted him, "City lord, looking at the fire, there seems to be neither too many enemies nor too many, which is a bit strange."

"Well, if they just feigned an attack to lure us into the trap, then it seems that they have used more power, but it would be unreasonable to say that they are going all out to attack those strongholds. As long as our main force is still there, we can take back those small strongholds at any time." The city lord looked at the beacon fire in the distance and fell into deep thought.

"How about this, let's go over and have a look?" Wu Xiaoyun proposed a plan.

"I'm afraid they will send too many experts. If the enemy's situation is unknown, it will be dangerous for you to go there." The city lord said, "It's better to send a large team to take a look. It's better for you to help defend here."

"They won't have any masters. The masters of Wushuangmen are all exhausting us in the north, and Jincheng should not have many masters!" Wu Xiaoyun was eager to try.
