Nine Tribulations True Immortal

Chapter 485 Cangshan Conference
That night, the spacious hall of Cangshan Fortress City Guard's Mansion was brightly lit.

Dozens of monks of the Shushan Sect and the Dian Kingdom gathered to discuss countermeasures.

These monks are the main cadres of the four major armies of the Shushan School. The existing top forces of the Dian Kingdom can be said to have gathered a group of core high-level monks who are currently the strongest in the city.

A clear and melodious female voice rang out at this moment: "Every day that the protective formation is maintained, [-] spirit stones will be consumed. This is not counting the spiritual stones needed to repair the formation and fill the gaps in the light curtain, plus these losses In the past half a month, more than a million spirit stones have been consumed."

"However, you don't need to worry too much about this. After all, there is a spirit stone mine underground in our fortress, which can be replenished at any time. It's just that the few late-stage monks who are maintaining the eyes of the formation are almost unable to hold on. The elixir used to restore their spirit power It's going to run out too."

"However, the requirements for maintaining the formation eye are very high, and monks above the late stage of crystal transformation are not required. If the monks of the middle stage of crystal transformation and the early stage of crystal transformation can also participate, it will be easy to handle... It's a pity: the fact is so cruel! Once If the eyes of the formation cannot function normally, the large moat formation will disappear. And without the protection of the large moat formation, it is very difficult for us to defend Cangshan Fortress with our current troops..."

Naturally, Su Nian presided over the meeting, and her beautiful face also showed a sad expression, and she asked the monks present: "What do you think about the upcoming battle?"

Most of the people present frowned, or shook their heads, or remained silent, not optimistic about this battle.And those monks in the early stage of crystal transformation were even more nervous and dared not speak out. If there were not more than a dozen senior brothers and sisters in the late stage of crystal transformation who wanted to maintain the formation guarding the city, it would not be their turn to participate in this kind of high-level meeting .

In fact, now that Su Nian and others have discussed with Zhao Ming and others, they have fully reduced their troops and shortened the front line.The stone towers outside the city were abandoned, and all the troops were withdrawn into the city.

They strived to keep the Cangshan Fortress, which was crucial to both sides, before the arrival of reinforcements.After all, there is a huge Lingshi mine below, and its strategic position is very important.

It's just that, because of the desperate efforts of the eight tribes of the Southern Barbarians, the battle situation is very unfavorable to them.After all, they are close to each other, and they are coming out in full force. It is much easier to mobilize people than them.

Zhao Ming asked Su Nian at this time: "Lord Sufeng, didn't Fellow Daoist Ding bring some monks from the Dian kingdom to attack the Lingshi mines of the Nanman people in other places a few days ago? It stands to reason that the chief of the Nanman people received After the news of the attack on the few remaining Lingshi mines in my hands, I will definitely send people back to help. In this way, our pressure will be greatly reduced, and the Cangshan Fortress should be able to defend."

After hearing this, Su Nian shook her head and said, "Although that's the case, judging from the situation in the past few days, the number of attacking opponents has not decreased. I learned that the tribe he belongs to has never been notified that other places need support. I guess either the news has not been sent back, or Daoyou Ding and their sneak attack failed."

As soon as Su Nian said these words, everyone's expressions became serious.

Su Nian pondered for a moment, Fang Xiu frowned, and sighed quietly: "Three elders, it seems that Daoist Ding may not be able to count on you. We have to be prepared to fight alone..."

"Then what good method does Peak Lord Su have to deal with our current crisis?" Lu Chuan asked with his hands behind his back, looking at Su Nian earnestly.

"According to the current situation, it is not without flaws that the southern barbarian monks frequently cast group boosting spells to bombard our large formation. I estimate that their monks must also be very tired. And from the current situation of the southern barbarian tribe Judging by the number of monks outside the city, they did not divide their troops to rescue other places. This shows that the chief must definitely plan to take down the Cangshan Fortress with all his strength. He wants to send troops to help other places after defeating us, and finally occupy the entire Dian Kingdom .” Su Nian’s pretty eyes analyzed expectantly.

"Well, this is indeed very possible! In Master Yisu's opinion, what strategy should we adopt?" Song Xuexue asked in a concentrated voice.

Su Nian frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Of course, our Shushan faction most hopes that the southern barbarians will attack the Lingshi mines around Cangshan Mountain. Because these mines are large in number and scattered, they can only be divided into many The team went to attack. It would take a long time, and the loss of personnel would not be small... However, it is obvious now that the great chief must have seen this, so they will ignore the surrounding Lingshi mines and come up Just storm our Cangshan Fortress."

"He knew very well in his heart that as long as Cangshan Fortress is captured, our Shushan faction will also be defeated. After the main force is defeated, it will be easy for them to conquer the rest of the mines? Huh, we are not as good as they wish! This time we The Shushan faction will give them a countermeasure!"

"Oh? How is that doing the opposite?" Everyone in the Shushan faction became excited when they heard this.

"My plan is: to abandon the Cangshan Fortress!" Su Nian said loudly the method that surprised everyone.

"What? Abandon the Cangshan Fortress?" Song Wenxue took the lead in asking: "Master Sufeng, what do you think? The Lingshi mines in the Cangshan Fortress account for more than half of the Lingshi mines in the entire Cangshan Mountain Range. It is enough for our Shushan faction. After hundreds of years, after giving up, the source of spirit stones for our Shushan School will become a big problem. And the blow to morale will be even more serious! I'm afraid we will be defeated!"

Although these spiritual stone mines were originally mined by the monks of the Dian Kingdom, the Shushan faction regarded themselves as the protectors of the Dian Kingdom and took away [-]% of the spiritual stones as protection fees.The spiritual stone mine in Dian Kingdom is also one of the important sources of spiritual stones for the Shushan School.

"Hehe, Elder Song, don't panic. Think about it, if you were the great chief, what would you do after taking down the Cangshan Fortress?" Su Nian didn't explain her plan, but instead asked Song Wenxue first.

"Let me think about it." Song Wenxue pondered for a while and then said: "If I were the great chief, I would definitely send troops to wipe out the mines controlled by various cultivating families in the Dian Kingdom on the outskirts of the Cangshan Mountains after taking down the Cangshan Fortress. It’s good to take the entire Cangshan Mountains area in one fell swoop and occupy all the Lingshi mines.”

"Well, not bad. If I were the great chief, I would do the same. But Elder Song, what chance do you think of attacking the mines outside the Cangshan Mountains?" Su Nian asked with a smile.

"If our Shushan faction has already suffered a disastrous defeat, it must be a relaxed and enjoyable matter for the Nanman people. The small sects of the Dian Kingdom and the Xiuxian family have no leader, and they are fighting on their own. Facing the Nanman who is far stronger than ourselves Clan monks will definitely be defeated." Song Wenxue replied without thinking.

"Hehe, not bad! But what if we take the lead in commanding the battle?" Su Nian continued to ask with a smile.
