The boundary of Lanxiu Mountain.
Along the border stretching for hundreds of miles, sentries of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance cultivators are scattered everywhere. From the air, one can see a large number of scout teams moving through the mountains and forests.
Their eyes were sharp, not missing a single abnormality, and the magical artifacts in their hands trembled slightly, ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.
Many of them even had their robes stained with blood, clearly having just come from a major battle and had not yet had time to rest before being sent out to patrol the defenses.
The entire defensive line was garrisoned in three locations.
The area near the border of the Lingyan Mountains, close to the junction of the three regions, is where the largest number of troops, exceeding ten thousand, are stationed.
This is the main defensive line, used to block the demonic army from entering the Lingyan Mountains.
Although the demonic army could barely avoid it by taking a roundabout route.
But if you're not afraid of being outmaneuvered, just go around... Once you take a detour, your rear will be unprepared, and the righteous army of Lanxiu Mountain will strike you right in the heart of the enemy in no time.
At that time, not only will we be unable to relieve the siege of the Lingyan Mountains, but we may also lose the Juling Valley.
Losing these valuable territories is probably a minor matter.
If the demonic army is struck at its heart, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
The worst-case scenario would be the complete collapse of the demonic forces in the eastern half of Fengxia Mountain. Consequently, the entire northwestern demonic faction would be at a disadvantage in the overall situation of Fengxia Mountain.
We must clear this place and join forces with the demonic army on the border of the Lingyan Mountains, so that the two places can build a joint defense line and jointly resist the invasion at Lanxiu Mountain before we can officially advance.
This explains why, even though they knew the situation in the Lingyan Mountains was deteriorating and large areas had been occupied by the Yunxiao Sect, they continued to attack the defensive lines.
In addition, at the point directly adjacent to Juling Valley, the number of troops stationed is secondary, with a peak of only seven thousand.
The third point is the border line on the other side, to guard against a surprise attack by the demonic army, which could directly penetrate into the heart of Lanxiu Mountain and launch a siege to rescue Zhao.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the troop lines here cannot be moved. There are at least three thousand troops on standby, five thousand cultivators are generally stationed here, and another two thousand cultivators can be flexibly mobilized.
Besides guarding against surprise attacks by demonic forces, the main purpose of this area is to dispatch a large number of scout teams, totaling more than two thousand cultivators, to provide intelligence and support for the entire defense line.
Overall, their troop strength was not greater than that of the demonic army.
Even fewer were found on the main battlefield.
However, they were on the defensive and had the advantage of terrain.
Therefore, during the nearly half-month-long battle, the enemy remained outside the area, preventing the demonic army from advancing an inch and forcing them to watch helplessly as the situation in the Lingyan Mountains deteriorated.
Unless there are any obvious mistakes, there is virtually no possibility of being overtaken.
Unless, the demonic army doubles in size...
And according to recent intelligence, this possibility seems to be not far off.
At the main battlefield.
The two young men stood side by side in mid-air.
One of them had a stick of incense that looked like it had just burned out in front of him.
The words formed by wisps of smoke seem to be about to dissipate.
I could vaguely make out: "The demonic army has passed Phoenix Head Valley and will arrive at Spirit Gathering Valley in three to five days."
Zhu Yuanqing waved his hand, and the characters instantly turned into wisps of white smoke, gradually disappearing into nothingness and returning to the world.
"It seems the demonic path isn't planning to give up the Lingyan Mountains. This is already the third army; the first one might be arriving soon."
The young man standing to the side had fair skin, but his expression was somewhat wooden.
He wore a dark yellow robe with few patterns or embroidery, which looked simple and rustic. The only detail was a simple "Kun" character embroidered in black thread on the chest.
It was Cheng Hou, the chief of the Kuncang Sect!
