The Feather Clan monks who were originally scheduled to be the first to evacuate showed great enthusiasm for Long Long's proposal to donate supplies.
On the one hand, everyone generously donated all kinds of magic weapons, flying swords, and elixirs; on the other hand, they tried every means to privately contact the familiar monks who would stay in Yuanjiang City this time, and the things they told were similar:
"My precious so-and-so, when the donations are distributed later, you must get it first and return it to me when you come back!"
This is the time to test the warmth and coldness of human nature.
Those who were indifferent to the other party directly refused and said that it was randomly assigned by Longlong and they did not have the ability to do it, and then left indifferently amid the other party's wailing.
Of course, there is no need to say more when the friendship is deep. A nod is a man's promise that cannot be violated.
What I fear most is the kind of hypocrite who is obviously indifferent to feelings but pretends to be warm-hearted. He says "OK, OK, brother, I will definitely get it for you" but in his heart he is confused and wants to take it for himself, turning his back on him... If you meet such a person, you can only admit defeat.
Needless to say, everyone was in all kinds of ugly behavior. Although one stayed behind and the other evacuated, there was not so much friction between Long Long and Long Hu, but instead there was a warm and affectionate relationship.
"When you activate the True Fire Fan, be sure to save your energy and don't consume too much of your True Energy." Long Long reminded her, "As long as the tunnel is dug deep enough, there will be no danger of being discovered in the short term."
"Okay, got it." Dragon Fox said obediently.
"These Feather Clan monks may seem to be on our side, but we can't trust them completely." Long Long continued to remind, "If possible, observe them carefully during the underground evacuation to see which ones are truly close to us and which ones are pretending to be loyal but secretly disobeying us. Then, pull some of them out and beat some of them. At least you must make sure that you have the final say during the evacuation. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Longhu said with a smile.
"Pull one group, beat another group" - this sentence just fits perfectly with what she has learned recently, so the little fox also plans to give it a try.
"Although Qiu Ying was forced to take the position, it can be seen that he is not completely without ideas." Long Long analyzed seriously, "It's just that he lacks confidence and is often easily shaken. If the Feather Tribe tries to push him out to fight for power, you only need to strike him down with words, and he will most likely give in on his own."
"Although Qin Lu was sent by Qin Chaocang to help us, she may be monitoring us. Don't tell her everything. Be careful. Do you understand?"
The dragon fox responded meekly, which made Long Long feel emotional.
Why is it that I feel like I'm sending my daughter on a long journey?
After seeing off Dragon Fox and the first group of evacuees, Long Long called the deputy general who was responsible for assisting him in the remaining team and asked:
"How do the coalition forces outside the city usually attack the city?"
The deputy general was named Lou Ming, and he was originally the deputy general who assisted Qiu Ying in commanding. Since the city lord's son was a novice in military affairs, Lou Ming was in charge of specific affairs most of the time.
Seeing Long Long asking, Lou Ming answered honestly:
"The frequency is uncertain. Sometimes they attack the city three times a day, and sometimes they don't attack the city at all... It looks like they won't attack the city today."
"Hmph, a strategy to attack the heart." Long Long could see that the White Tiger General's erratic actions were intended to make the Yuanjiangcheng Feather Clan a frightened bird, and he immediately sneered to express his contempt.
Lou Ming was also helpless. Sometimes, even if you know why the other party does something, you have no way to stop it in a targeted manner. This is the so-called open conspiracy.
Long Long was about to continue his sharp comments when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside.
Attack the city!
The two rushed out of the house and saw a huge formation light shield rising above the city.
Countless flames, lightning, and shock waves exploded like fireworks in various places in the light shield above, making Long Long instantly feel as if he were a mouse hiding in an upside-down goldfish bowl, watching in fear and trepidation as countless big cats violently attacked with their claws through the glass.
Lou Ming was already numb, and just said:
"I have to go and supervise the defense. I will take my leave now."
"Yeah." Long Long nodded.
He quickly scanned the area outside the city and found that the siege positions in the south, east, and north were all firing towards the city.
The southern position had to guard against sudden attacks from Qin Sitong and Kong Ping, so it was obviously reserved in its attack, while the northern and eastern positions were so unrestrained in their attacks that they held back almost nothing.
Long Long found a safe position, lay down comfortably and observed for a moment, then roughly estimated that the offensive and defensive strengths were similar and it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.
Of course, the supply in the city was completely cut off, but the consumption of the siege position could be replenished from Zhongzhou, so Yuanjiang City would definitely be defeated in the end after a strong attack.
Then why did the White Tiger General play the trick of attacking at irregular intervals?
Long Long thought for a moment and felt that it should be to save costs.
Of course, war is expensive. Judging from the current offensive brilliance in the air, it is basically magic weapons or formations, and there are very few magical powers and spells from the cultivators themselves.
Magical weapons and formations, what they use to drive are all true essence, crystals, and money! Looking at the uninterrupted flashing light above the head, it can be seen that countless money is passing by every moment.
If a direct assault was used to capture the city, 10,000 tons of crystals would be required, while using irregular attacks to wear down the morale of the defenders would only require 6,000 tons of crystals. The White Tiger God would definitely choose the latter.
In Long Long's opinion, the White Tiger General must be well versed in how to save war expenses as much as possible.
In this case, if I rescued everyone and all the war costs were wasted, wouldn't the White Tiger General be furious?
That being said, we can't leave too early, or we can let the opponent consume more ammunition.
“Hey, don’t let yourself get away with it!” Long Long’s scumbag status finally got to the point where even Kunlun Mirror couldn’t stand it anymore, so he warned, “The opponent is an immortal-level demon! Even if you manage to win in a duel of wits, he can kill you with just a flick of his finger!”
"Don't we have you and Su Ming?" Long Long said that at worst he could transform into the Master of Taiyin Sword. Why would he be afraid of this little demon ancestor?
"You don't want to pretend to be Long Long anymore? You don't want the fox anymore?" Kunlun Mirror used two consecutive attacks, and they were critical hits. Long Long was speechless and could only hum to express his dissatisfaction.
On the other side, the siege finally came to an end.
A large amount of data was summarized by various teams on the front line, such as which barriers showed signs of weakening when attacked, and which points launched counterattacks and when. All were clearly marked and summarized in Lu Yan's hands.
Qi Yingzhu watched in admiration. Now she also knew how important intelligence was to war, and how difficult it was to extract useful clues from so much data.
"The data is wrong." Lu Yan suddenly said.
