Monks from all over Zhongfuzhou have gathered in Tongtian Castle.
The level of cultivation ranges from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul.
However, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators can be counted on one hand. Although the Immortal Alliance Council claims that there is a Spirit Transformation cultivator in charge, this Spirit Transformation cultivator has never shown up.
The largest number of them are still the foundation-building cultivators.
There are also Qi-refining cultivators, and their number is only slightly less than that of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Most of these Qi-refining cultivators come here to gain experience with their predecessors.
After a day of peace between the two sides, the coalition forces set out in the early morning of that day!
Countless demons and alien races rushed out of the mountains like a swarm of locusts.
The monks in Tongtian Fort also immediately came out of the fort to fight the enemy.
However, the monks had never expected that these demons and alien races did not gather together, but were divided into dozens of small teams, running in various directions. Their target was the important places scattered in the eastern plains of Xingluo Lake!
The monks in Zhongfu Prefecture had no one to command them, so they could only spontaneously form groups of three or five to intercept these small enemy forces.
But this also led to some fish slipping through the net.
In addition, the coalition forces used the tactics of the Sand Spirit Clan and had no intention of engaging in a fight with Zhongfu Province. The small group of cultivators who were besieged avoided fighting and retreated while fighting when the enemy was strong and they were weak, or even when the two were evenly matched.
For a moment, the monks in Zhongfuzhou were pulled so hard that they could only take care of their heads and not their buttocks.
High-level monks have to deal with harassment from those of the same level while also rescuing weaker monks. Therefore, they seem to be running around in a hurry and have no time to snipe the opponent's unguarded team.
Overnight, the gates of two sects' headquarters were lost, eighteen important locations were seized, hundreds of monks were taken prisoner by the enemy, and tens of thousands of ordinary people were captured!
Although the Immortal Alliance had already issued a retreat order to the mortals.
However, only about 70% of the common people in these settlements retreated.
The remaining 30% are either those who are hoping for a lucky break, or those who think they can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, or those who are too old to leave their hometown, or those who cannot afford the travel expenses.
The monks of the Immortal Alliance organized a retreat and there was no mention of travel expenses.
However, faced with the huge number of mortals, it is impossible for the monks to organize the retreat personally. They will inevitably mobilize local mortal officials or temporary recruits. Among these mortals, there will naturally be those with ill intentions who take the opportunity to make money.
Most of these methods were concealed from the monks, and ordinary people did not know the truth.
Of course, there were monks who noticed it.
Some monks with a sense of justice immediately beheaded these people to appease the people.
There are also monks who turn a blind eye and are too lazy to care about mundane matters.
There were even monks who robbed their fellow criminals and took away most of the money they had extorted through fraud.
There are at least hundreds of important locations for evacuating civilians, and the situation in each location is different.
Even if a benevolent and righteous monk wants to eliminate all injustice in the world, the power of an individual is ultimately limited.
After taking over the stronghold, the demons and alien races retreated with some supplies, even the common people stayed behind! Only a ruined stronghold with its defenses completely destroyed was left behind.
Then, before daybreak, the coalition forces retreated into the mountains.
The monks who had enough strength to spare chased for a while, and after saving a few lives, they did not dare to go any deeper.
After dawn, the losses were counted and Zhongfuzhou was defeated!
The atmosphere in the main hall of Tongtianbao was quite depressing.
"...Council Member Zhou, Council Member Deng, our Lotus Lake, a thousand-year-old foundation, is now in imminent danger! I request that you two issue orders to dispatch garrison troops to our Lotus Lake to prevent..."
"Your Lotus Lake is difficult to defend but easy to attack. In my opinion, you should abandon this place and defend Loquat Mountain, Tongtian Fort, and Jiulian City. From there, you can pincer attack from the demons..."
"What a joke! Don't you understand what happened last night? You want to defend this mountain? Can you hold it? The demons have abandoned the city, which means they want to use the key points in this area to weaken our strength so they can take us down in one fell swoop! I suggest we organize our forces immediately and force our way into the mountain! Nothing can be built without destruction! My Lords, please give the order immediately!"
"Please give orders!"
"Please give orders!"
The proposal of a monk was echoed by leaders of many forces. Obviously, they had discussed it privately.
The local monks are the ones whose vital interests are threatened by the invasion of the coalition forces, so it is natural for them to have such thoughts.
They felt that the reinforcements coming from all over Zhongfuzhou should drive out the invaders and stabilize their foundation!
Otherwise, what are they here for?
If a fight was to happen, these local cultivators would naturally be willing to lead the charge. Some passionate cultivators were even prepared to die in battle. All they needed was the Immortal Alliance's order to launch the attack!
At least this way, there is hope of winning!
What's the point of dragging it out?
Being constantly weakened by the enemy, causing the monks to die in vain?
If this is the case, these local cultivators might as well avoid the battle and travel eastward, conserve their strength, and find a place to make a comeback. Let the Immortal Alliance worry about this rotten date matter!
Zhou Shang and Deng Qiang did not express their views.
They were not given the task of "leading the monks to resist demons and alien races" by the Immortal Alliance. Instead, they were given the task of "monitoring invaders."
Although, with their status, they can mobilize monks by just raising the flag.
If you win, you will be blessed with great merit.
But if you lose, then you have to bear the responsibility!
Zhou Shang and Deng Qiang were still unwilling to take this risk.
In other words, most monks are unwilling to take this risk.
Unless the Immortal Alliance issues a specific task.
