Chapter 129 Countermeasures
Ian noticed a presence nearby, and thought it was the captain who was secretly observing them. He did not point it out, and said:
"Reporting to the decurion, Uncle Shan, and the centurion, I found a large number of demons rushing over here about a hundred kilometers from the south. Conservative estimates show that there are more than 2000 aerial red griffins, 3000 fourth-level diamond mantises, 3000 fourth-level Shen demon apes, 2000 fourth-level brown demon bears, and hundreds of shadow foxes. There are hundreds of fifth-level demon beasts in total, and we don't know if there are any sixth-level demon beasts yet."
The two centurions were shocked. "What? Are you sure?"
Ian nodded.
At this time, the centurion in the dark could no longer hold his temper and hurried in.
"Join the thousand captains."
"Alright, this is an emergency. I will report to the commander immediately. All centurions, deputies, and the five of you should all come to Gate 3 to discuss the battle plan."
After saying this, the centurion left in a hurry.
Without much ado, everyone followed to the temporary command tent at Gate No. 3.
Everyone arrived quickly. There were nearly 20 fifth-rank officers and soldiers sitting in the tent. After the captain Zong Wenhao asked Ian to repeat his investigation results, he said with a gloomy face:
"Did everyone hear that?"
"I heard it clearly."
"The demon tribe could never have imagined that we would attack this pass with a thousand men. Thanks to our perfect plan, the demon tribe's distress message was delivered five days late. Thanks to the Avengers, we were able to occupy it with minimal losses. This pass is of great significance to us and cannot be lost.
Not far away on the opposite side is the territory of the Great Demon King Gulan. This time it should be its support. I have reported the situation to the captain of the army. The captain's order for us is to defend the Five Narrow Pass and wait for rescue."
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. This time, we are facing an enemy that is ten times larger than us. Are you ready?
"Always be prepared...Always be prepared..."
"Very good. Next, I will arrange the combat mission. According to Ian's investigation, the enemy should arrive in one day. We will use this Five Narrow Pass as a defensive stronghold. The current garrison troops will remain unchanged. We will quickly install the magic crystal cannons and bury the magic crystal mines.
In addition, Centurion Gao's Ian team was assigned to provide temporary fire support at the five checkpoints."
"Yes."
"Okay, does anyone have any questions?"
Ian Road:
"Captain, I have a suggestion."
The captain nodded, showing him enough respect, "Tell me about it!"
"The enemy is ten times our size, especially the hundreds of fifth-level monsters. Even if the magic crystal cannon and magic crystal thunder are powerful, we can't hold out for long. We may even be wiped out without any support.
I think we can carry out a decapitation operation to disrupt the enemy and dig a large enough ditch in front of the ten walls, so that the magicians and crossbowmen can kill them directly.
Since there are so many enemies, we need to assign some people to guard the pass while guarding the mountain in the middle. In order to prevent them from coming down the mountain, magic crystal thunder is used to be assigned to the people guarding the mountain. When the magic crystal thunder is released, the forest will catch fire, which can effectively prevent the large-scale sneak attacks of the demon tribe. "
Everyone looked at Ian in surprise. Was this something a rookie could come up with?
The captain was very pleased that he had such outstanding talents under his command. "It is rare for you to get along with these few places, but we don't have time to dig a big enough gully. Secondly, the decapitation operation is unrealistic. We don't have such top combat power now!
This is a very good addition to the defense against mountain raids, and I fully support it."
Ian smiled and nodded to Selina.
Selina stood up and said, "Captain, as for the matter of the gully, as long as you can send all the earth magicians to me, it can be completed within one day."
The centurion showed an expression of disbelief, and then said excitedly: "You mean... in addition to water and fire magic, you also know earth magic?"
Selina didn't explain much, just nodded lightly.
This is not over yet, Ian said:
"The decapitation operation can be handed over to the other four of us."
The captain of a thousand men, Zong Wenhao, calmed down and looked troubled. He had finally obtained these talents. If they were killed, the loss would be too great. He would also be in trouble with the captain of ten thousand men. "This..."
"Don't worry, Captain. We will be careful and retreat if we see that things are impossible."
"Ah... never mind. Regardless of whether you can complete it or not, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely ask for credit for you when I return!"
"Haha, thank you, Captain!"
They acted as soon as they said it. Time was pressing. Selina came out of Gate No. 3 with 22 earth magicians behind her. Facing the direction of the demon clan, she raised the top-grade spiritual staff high in her hand and muttered something. A large amount of earth magic around them became active, and everyone felt a heavy breath nearby.
After chanting for about half a minute, the staff emitted a dazzling light. The twenty-two earth magicians around him showed admiration on their faces. This was a sixth-level primary earth magic!
This was not enough. The fire element in Selina's left hand also surged and slowly mixed into the earth element through the staff. Selina's face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
When the fusion was almost complete, he pointed his staff forward and released the fire and earth fusion magic. The ground began to collapse, "boom boom boom..."
Fire creates earth, and the power of the earth element becomes even stronger. Magic continues to be output, and the ground sinks from left to right, forming a gully that is 300 meters wide, 500 meters long, and 3 meters deep.
The ravine was not smooth and there was a risk of collapse, but that was not her business. These matters were left to the twenty-two earth magicians.
After Selina finished, she quickly swallowed a Yuanshen Pill and sat cross-legged to recover her mental and magical powers.
This is not a problem of sixth-level magic skills, it is a fusion of two sixth-level magic skills!
The captain behind him murmured:
"The young are to be feared, haha, the young are to be feared!" He gained more confidence in the upcoming defensive battle.
With the fat man's Yuanshen Pill, Selina recovered faster and was basically recovered after two hours. Ian asked with concern:
"Nana, how do you feel?"
There are still four checkpoints, so there shouldn't be any problem. I feel this kind of rapid consumption can stimulate the magic core and speed up magic training, but I'm afraid my mental strength can't handle it.
"We all lack the top-level skills for cultivating spiritual power. You should be careful not to get backlashed."
"Yes, I will!"
Selina led the twenty-two people to Gate No. 2...
