No one can figure out what a group of people are going to do just by looking at them carrying hoes and digging holes in the ground. If one can really tell what they are going to do, it is not a matter of vision and wisdom, but the ability to foresee the future. Being able to see the future and predict the future is not an ordinary magical power.
Obviously, the man surnamed Jia did not have such incredible supernatural powers.
We can only infer it through some clues.
However, you won't be able to reveal much mystery just by digging holes.
"That's true. However, these people digging pits outside the town is definitely not for no reason. They must have a purpose, and they must be used to resist the alien army. It seems that this Xuanhuang Town is definitely not that simple. They dare to provoke the aliens, and they are not afraid at all. They dare to fight against the aliens head-on. Whether it is courage or strength, it is extraordinary."
The pale-faced scholar also nodded in agreement.
It was just a few pits, not horse traps. Even God couldn't guess what they were going to do.
"It's meaningless to watch here. Why don't we go to Xuanhuang Town together and see what's going on in the town? We don't care if the people are watching. We can even go to the city wall freely. We can observe any action inside in the town first. Moreover, I want to see the lord of Xuanhuang Town, Yi Tianxing. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of person is the one who dares to challenge the alien race directly."
There was a gleam of curiosity in the eyes of the middle-aged man named Jia.
The impact of this war was truly enormous.
It was so big that it spread like crazy in the neighborhood.
There were quite a few cultivators who went to the Immortal Tomb at that time, and they all witnessed the provocations issued by Yi Tianxing and the Demon Scorpion. The Demon Scorpion even said without hesitation that it would completely break through Xuanhuang Town and massacre the entire Xuanhuang Town.
The news that a war between humans and aliens would break out in Xuanhuang Town spread like a storm, sweeping across the four directions.
I don't know how many outstanding people of the human race, after hearing this, either out of curiosity, or empathy, wanting to do their part for the human race, or wanting to observe secretly, naturally rushed to Xuanhuang Town.
It can be said that in this short period of time, Xuanhuang Town and even the name of Yi Tianxing have become well-known in the surrounding area, and there are very few people who have not heard of them. After all, this is the first large-scale war between humans and aliens.
The impact of victory or defeat is too great to ignore.
Unconsciously, many human cultivators were rushing towards Xuanhuang Town.
Some have already arrived, while others are watching from the dark.
This is the case with these two people now.
"Okay, let's go in together. I just want to see what kind of mystery this pit is trying to create." The pale-faced scholar smiled and nodded in agreement, "Brother Jia, please."
"Brother Wu, please."
The man surnamed Jia also nodded and smiled.
The two men came down from the big tree. It was obvious that they had some skills, so climbing up and down the tree was not a difficult task for them.
The gate of Xuanhuang Town was not blocked.
Allowed to come in and out.
The two of them entered the town easily. There were quite a few outsiders like them. As soon as they entered, they were also shocked by the scene in the town. It was completely different from what they imagined.
Compared with other villages, the difference is so great that it is hard not to be impressed.
"The ability to build a town of this scale in such a short period of time is something that ordinary people cannot match. He is definitely a great leader in troubled times." The man surnamed Jia said thoughtfully.
"Yes, although it has not been long, the scale here is comparable to the original small town, or even far exceeds it. The people here have a completely different spirit and energy, exuding a kind of hope and fighting spirit for the future." The white-faced scholar also nodded in agreement.
As he spoke, he began to walk around the town with interest.
... ... ... ... ... .
Their arrival did not have any impact on the town.
Outside, the digging work was still going on in full swing.
This process did not last too long.
In just one morning, a large number of potholes had covered all areas. They were so densely packed that at a glance, one couldn't tell how many there were.
"What are you planning to do by digging so many holes?"
Some people secretly began to doubt.
There is no guessing the secret.
But obviously, it is impossible to dig so many pits for planting crops or trees.
However, this doubt did not last long.
In the afternoon, we saw teams of soldiers carrying out wooden boxes, opening them to reveal black balls. Someone put the black balls directly into the dug holes, and then carefully covered them with soil and buried them again. Then, someone took out a talisman and dropped it into the buried holes.
A yellow light flashed, and the ground, which had obvious signs of renovation, naturally returned to its original state and became solid, completely similar to the original ground, with no signs of having been excavated at all.
It is easy to make the traces on the ground disappear.
No one could tell where the pit had just been dug.
Talisman-Earth Control Talisman!!
This talisman has no other use. Once cast, it can control the surrounding soil and change some minor terrain. Now repairing some traces of dug holes is naturally an easy task for the Soil Controlling Talisman.
With one earth-controlling talisman, dozens of holes can be completely repaired without any impact. It is almost exactly the same as the original ground.
Someone quickly put the black balls into the holes, and then filled them with soil. When the amount filled reached a certain level, they immediately cast talismans one after another to cover up all traces of the holes and eliminate all traces.
Boxes of balls were carried out and buried again.
This process is carried out quickly in a tight atmosphere.
A large number of potholes just disappeared.
This scene, in the eyes of many attentive people, aroused their curiosity and doubts.
"What are those spheres? Is digging a pit just to bury them underground?"
"Strange, really strange. I have never seen these balls before. Could they be some newly discovered items? But what is the purpose of burying them underground? Digging a hole and burying things, these are understandable separately, but why is it so confusing when put together?"
Many people saw these actions on the city wall, and they felt a stronger sense of doubt in their hearts.
"Interesting, it seems that this should be a weapon of war in Xuanhuang Town. But, what exactly is this thing? A black sphere, I have never seen it before. Interesting, really interesting, there are really many mysteries contained in this Xuanhuang Town."
The man surnamed Jia muttered to himself, with a strange look in his eyes.
Digging a hole alone may not reveal anything.
But now the action of burying the mysterious black sphere made him certain that the thing must be of some great use in the war, and it could become a powerful weapon.
Such a thing is nothing more than a weapon that can work from underground and cause great damage.
Without real understanding, it is naturally difficult to fully guess what it is.
However, it is conceivable that if this is true, the sudden destructive power can produce great lethality in the first place. In war, it has a huge deterrent effect.
"I've heard that someone has developed a kind of thunderbolt made of gunpowder. Once it explodes, it can produce powerful destructive power. Could this black ball be something similar to the thunderbolt?"
The pale-faced scholar hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
If it was something like this, buried underground and exploded, it might have a powerful killing effect. However, based on what he knew about the thunderbolts, their power was not strong enough to kill ferocious beasts or alien races.
"That should be the case. What a big deal! The war potential that has erupted in Xuanhuang Town is incredible."
The man surnamed Jia nodded in agreement.
But in his heart, he was even more shocked by the heritage of Xuanhuang Town.
If it really is something like Thunderbolt seeds, then undoubtedly, it is not so easy to make. But here, they are being carried out in boxes, and the number is so large that people are secretly astonished.
It is hard to imagine how such huge war resources were produced.
"This time, Xuanhuang Town may be planning to fight a fair battle. Nothing can better demonstrate one's combat power, foundation, and strength than a direct offensive and defensive battle."
The man surnamed Jia spoke again.
He felt that Xuanhuang Town did not intend to attack head-on, but to rely on the walls of Xuanhuang Town and various defensive fortifications to fight a real offensive and defensive battle. In this kind of war, any conspiracy or trick is useless. It depends on one's own strength and foundation. It is also the easiest to determine the outcome of life and death. In this way, it is also the least flawed.
To this, he nodded secretly in his heart.
In his opinion, any strategy is not prepared in advance, but must be adapted to the situation. The enemy is not made of wood, and you cannot set a trap for him to fall into. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and only by being able to adapt to the situation and having a flash of inspiration can you come up with a way to win.
The inferior counselors use the strategies of their predecessors, waiting for opportunities to come.
A middling strategist uses the strategies of his predecessors but is able to adapt to changing circumstances and come up with new ideas from time to time.
A top-notch strategist, who is well versed in the art of war, can guess the enemy generals’ thoughts and know their next intentions based on their personality, emotions, age, etc., as if he were seeing through everything.
The best strategists are able to command with confidence, have unparalleled wisdom, and can respond to situations at any time. They can come up with all kinds of ingenious ideas, and have a clear understanding of the battle situation and everything about the enemy. They are smart and can calculate the enemy's response and be prepared at any time. They take one step and look ten or a hundred steps ahead. They can lead the enemy into a trap and plot until death.
