The Path of the Sage

Chapter 2627: put all one's eggs in one basket

Views:

Before dawn, the city of Sichuan was already illuminated by the dawn in the east.

Countless craftsmen and soldiers stood in front of the city wall, looking ahead in despair.

Starting from the end of the horizon, monsters continuously emerged, like clouds and rain, as if they were living carpets, spreading out in all directions.

Everyone had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before those monsters would cover the entire sky and earth and submerge the entire industrial world.

Some soldiers' bodies began to tremble slightly.

Fang Yun and others flew over the city silently and landed on the north city wall.

The soldiers then realized that reinforcements had arrived. Liu Lieyang announced an emergency meeting and directly selected a courtyard behind the city wall as the temporary meeting place.

Scholars of high literary rank came down from the city wall one after another and entered the spacious courtyard. Then four great Confucian scholars stood at the four corners of the courtyard, isolated from the outside world and their country.

Many chairs have been placed in the spacious courtyard, one of which is located at the deepest part of the courtyard, and the other chairs are placed on both sides, leaving an open space in the middle.

Fang Yun, Liu Lieyang and other Wen Zong walked in front of the main seat. Liu Lieyang said, "Please take the seat."

Fang Yun nodded, didn't refuse, and sat down directly.

The reinforcements that came with Fang Yun immediately found places to sit on both sides, but many university scholars and Hanlin scholars in Sichuan City looked surprised, and some even looked annoyed.

They all heard that the human race had produced a genius named Fang Yun, who was promoted to the fourth level scholar at a young age, but they didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

Even though he had summoned the Holy Treasure, which was a great achievement, he should at least have refused it. However, he refused to give in and did not even show basic courtesy.

However, Liu Lieyang was in charge of Chuancheng, so even if those people were dissatisfied, they said nothing. They just found seats and sat down with sullen faces. Some even deliberately moved the chairs to make noises.

After everyone was seated, Liu Lieyang coughed lightly and said, "The two teams led by Mr. Qian Zhang and I were ambushed on the road, and each team encountered more than fifty great demon kings."

"What?" Everyone in Chuancheng was shocked.

"Mr. Lieyang, we in the city have discovered that a big battle has broken out in the rear, but we don't know the specific situation. In addition, the city is surrounded by monsters and it is inconvenient to provide support. What exactly happened?" asked a general.

Liu Lieyang glanced at Fang Yun and said, "This great scholar Fang Yun led us to kill fifty-three great demon kings, including eight fifth-level great demon kings. Without him, we would have been wiped out."

All the generals of Chuancheng looked at Fang Yun in disbelief. They often fought against monsters and knew very well how powerful the Great Demon King was. It often took the human race more than ten years to kill a Great Demon King.

But, fifty-three were killed in one battle today

Many people expressed doubt.

Liu Lieyang continued, "Mr. Fang Yun was originally supporting Chongcheng with Mr. Qian Zhang. After their team was ambushed, Mr. Fang Yun killed most of the Great Demon Kings by himself, and finally he and the others killed all the remaining Five Realm Great Demon Kings. After that, he rushed to where we were and helped us out."

The scholars in Sichuan City were even more surprised. They carefully observed the scholars who came to support them and found that everyone's expression was very normal, and Liu Lieyang did not seem to be lying.

As Liu Lieyang spoke, he released the corpses of the great demon kings from the mechanical bag.

"Most of the corpses were destroyed in the battle, only these few are left."

A general pointed at the corpse of Wolf King and said in surprise: "This is Wolf King. Even if he turned into ashes, I can recognize him. He was the one who killed my second brother!"

"That looks like the Wolf Tooth King!"

The scholars in Chuancheng began to believe what Liu Lieyang said, and then looked at Fang Yun, realizing that he might be a big shot.

Liu Lieyang said: "Let's not talk about the past for now, let's talk about the future first. I have handed over the command of Sichuan City to Mr. Fang, please tell me what you think first."

Everyone looked at Fang Yun with their own thoughts.

Fang Yun said, "I heard from Mr. Lieyang that the Wolf God Emperor will personally lead the army this time, and I'm afraid he will send out all his troops. I watched from afar and saw many old, young, women and children in the troops. It seems that the demons and barbarians will go all out. Do you have a different opinion?"

Many people shook their heads slightly to indicate no.

Fang Yun said: "Since the demon barbarians have made a desperate move and are targeting Chuancheng first, the first thing we need to do is to gather scholars from other cities to fight the Wolf God Emperor. The victory or defeat of Chuancheng will determine the fate of the human race."

Many people nodded slightly.

"Secondly, it's about the specific battle. I don't know much about Chuancheng. Whoever was originally in charge will be in charge. I only offer suggestions. What I can do is to provide support in terms of machinery and technology."

Everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were most afraid that Fang Yun would give blind orders.

"Mr. Lieyang, I'll leave it to you next."

Fang Yun knew that he knew too little about this place and didn't want to interfere with normal command.

Liu Lieyang said: "Then I am stepping in to do the job."

Afterwards, under the leadership of Liu Lieyang, everyone began to discuss various countermeasures in the courtyard. Fang Yun also occasionally expressed his own opinions, which were very successful every time and won everyone's recognition.

Before the meeting was over, news came from Chongcheng that all the monsters outside Chongcheng had withdrawn and started marching towards Chuancheng.

Everyone looked at the message in silence.

Fang Yun said: "This proves my previous view. They are prepared to use their absolute numerical advantage to take us down in the most reliable way. Especially after losing more than a hundred great demon kings, it is even more impossible for them to split their forces. Therefore, Mr. Jiuzhang and others should also be transferred to Chuancheng. The demon army has traveled a long distance. Even if they launch an attack today, they will not mobilize all their forces. Today should be used to set up camp. This period of time is enough for high-ranking craftsmen from various cities to arrive."

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued the meeting.

After the meeting, the generals demanded the body of the Great Demon King and sent people to hang it on the city wall.

In less than an hour, a rumor spread in Sichuan City. Everyone knew that the descendant of the sage Zhuge had arrived in the working world and would fight side by side with the scholars in the working world. It was he who had triggered the previous ruler of measuring the sky, and he had killed a hundred demon kings by himself.

The panic caused by the arrival of the Wolf God Emperor was slightly alleviated by the news of the arrival of the descendants of the sage Zhuge.

Fang Yun had breakfast in Chuancheng and rested for an hour. He was awakened by the terrifying sound of war drums and trumpets, and immediately flew to the city wall.

The demon army had already started to set up camp, but some of them walked out of the camp to the sound of drums and slowly marched towards Chuancheng.

Fang Yun took a rough look and found that there were at least 10 million troops, and they were divided into four groups, making full use of the numerical advantage to launch attacks from four directions.

The soldiers in Sichuan City had to temporarily divide their forces into four directions.

The atmosphere in Sichuan City was extremely depressing.

No one felt that this battle could be won.

Soon, the monsters sounded the charge horn and began to attack the city.

Fang Yun's spiritual consciousness was high in the sky, observing the battles on the four city walls, and he soon discovered a fact that he was unwilling to accept.

There are too many monsters and they are very powerful. Even with the help of the machines, humans are still at a clear disadvantage.

A clear light shot up into the sky behind Fang Yun, and the power platform rose rapidly.

Finally, the Power Platform turned into a huge fireball with a diameter of one hundred feet, hanging high in the sky, emitting powerful heat that radiated the entire Sichuan City.

A powerful force falls on every mechanism.
