"Wa Zilei! Pan Toad! "
In the jungle of Canglin Valley came the unknown sounds of armor demons. Humans could not understand the sounds of armor demons, even many advanced demons could not understand the sounds of armor demons. After all, this kind of "fierce beast" was a real "monster" hatched from worm nests. Their innate language could not be easily understood by other races.
In the east of a cliff covered with moss, dense armor demons were chopping trees with blunt weapons. As a result, trees were chopped off one after another and fell down. In the bamboo woods not far away, many armor demons were chopping bamboo woods. These bamboos had been growing in the deep mountains for many years. The diameter of the bamboo pipes was almost 30 cm thick and very tough.
"Pan Toad!"
An armored demon wearing the emblem of chiliarch raised his spear and exclaimed loudly as he stepped forward and kicked the butt of a slower armored demon. That armored demon fell to the ground as he turned around and roared furiously; unexpectedly, the chiliarch also opened his bloody mouth and roared, releasing a strong bloody smell. In a split second, that young armored demon was scared out of his wits and dared not resist anymore. It seemed that in the world of armored demons, the one with the louder voice was the most powerful one.
...
"Haha, what a bunch of idiots."
On a rock dozens of meters away, QianFeng was supervising the work with a group of high-level demons. On one side, Lei Chong was also standing with some Captaincy level armor demons with his battle hammer. After hearing QianFeng's words, Lei Chong was a bit displeased. He turned around and said in a non-standard language of Broken Cauldron Realm, "Marshal QianFeng, armor demons are working very hard. Don't tease them anymore. Don't forget that the armor demon corps is the forerunner of the God Clan's attack. If we unify the continent, the armor demon corps will make a great contribution!"
Smiling, Qian Feng cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, General Lei Chong. I didn't mean to disrespect you. However, the intelligence of the Armor Demons is indeed very low. There are very few generals like General Lei Chong who are good at both the pen and the sword."
Lei Chong felt embarrassed to be angry. He said in a hoarse voice, "Marshal, can you tell me why you ordered the soldiers to cut down the woods? His Majesty has ordered us to fight the enemies side by side. You shouldn't hide it from me. "
"Well …"
QianFeng thought for a moment and said, "The giant trees on the east side of Cang Lin Valley are all over a hundred years old. They are tens of meters long and are extremely sturdy. I plan to use these giant trees to avoid the traps dug by the humans. After all, the humans are too cunning. There is no way they wouldn't set up an ambush along our route."
"What about the bamboo?"
"Erm … aha, I haven't thought about it yet. If marshal Lei Chong is free, please dispatch another Armored Demon Army to collect the weeds in the valley for me. I need them."
"Ang?"
Lei Chong was confused. "Marshal, I can understand using trees to block the humans' traps, but what's the use of weeds? Do you think we can use weeds to destroy the empire's army?"
QianFeng groaned inwardly. He didn't want to reveal military secrets, but Lei Chong's status was too high. He had to find a way to fool him. So he smiled and said, "Recently, some armor demons have become vegetarians. They don't eat meat, they eat grass!"
"Oh, I see. I'll do it right away!"
Lei Chong felt relieved. He turned around and walked only a few steps before he felt that something was wrong. However, he simply ignored it. Before leaving, the Versatile Demon Emperor had ordered him to fight side by side with QianFeng this time. He only needed to be the vanguard and should not intervene in the strategy. In fact, Lei Chong despised QianFeng, who was full of evil tricks, very much. He thought that QianFeng was so bad that he didn't deserve to be a member of the Protoss.
Therefore, in the valley on the east side of Cang Lin Valley, tens of thousands of armor demons worked in full swing. The trees and bamboo groves were razed to the ground in a blink of an eye. The branches and leaves of the giant trees were cut off and piled up in the demon camp. All the bamboos were sent to the camp of the advanced demons for processing.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. The warm sun of early spring shone on the earth, giving people a sense of laziness. As a result, many patrolling soldiers outside the imperial camp fell asleep on the rocks with their spears in their arms. They were too tired. Many of them had run all the way from Lanyan City to Canglin Valley on their own feet. They were already exhausted.
Outside the central tent, a group of soldiers stood guard. There were people from the Valiant Dragon Army, the Steel Blade Army, and the God Might Battalion.
Inside the tent, purple smoke slowly rose from the incense burner and lingered in the tent for a long time. Beside the huge sand table, Lin Muyu and Xiang Yu stood facing each other, while Su Muyun, Zhen Yifan, and the other veteran generals sat at the side. Empress Qin Yin was dressed in a well-ironed female military uniform of the empire with a golden cloak behind her. She looked at the crowd and said, "It's been three days, and there hasn't been any movement from the demons. What are they thinking?"
"It's not that there hasn't been any movement," Lin Muyu replied.
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu pointed to the east side of Cang Lin Valley on the map and said, "The spies of the Longdan Army Camp have obtained the latest military intelligence. Lei Chong and QianFeng are leading the Armor Demon Legion to cut down the forest in this location."
"Cutting down the forest?" Xiang Yu frowned and said, "They must be crazy. Why are they cutting down the forest? Don't tell me they want to build a complete camp in Cang Lin Valley?"
"I don't think so." Lin Muyu smiled and said, "QianFeng never does meaningless things, and it's the same this time. In addition, we also found out that the demons are collecting bamboo and weeds."
"Bamboo and weeds?"
Zeng Yifan frowned and said, "What does QianFeng want to do with bamboo and weeds?"
"I don't know." Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "This time, I really can't guess QianFeng's thoughts. Perhaps … QianFeng plans to use trees, bamboo, and weeds to win by surprise?"
Zeng Yifan narrowed his eyes and said, "Whether it's trees, bamboo, or weeds, they are all flammable things. In that case … as the vanguard, Lord Xiang Yu should prepare more materials to ignite the fire. In addition, provide the soldiers with water to extinguish the fire, and be ready to attack with fire at any time to deal with QianFeng's strategy."
Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice!"
Qin Yin said, "When do you think the demons will attack?"
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Cang Lin Valley has already gathered nearly two hundred thousand demon troops. Among them, the Armor Demons are the main force. The rest of the three hundred thousand troops are mostly distributed in the east of Cangnan Province and Lingdong Province. It seems that QianFeng only plans to use two hundred thousand troops to fight us. As soon as they are prepared, the war will begin!"
Su Muyun said with the spear in his hand, "The Armor Demons are brave and can fight against ten. Even if they only have two hundred thousand troops, they can easily defeat our three hundred thousand troops in a field battle. Of course, the premise is that we don't use any tricks."
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Grandfather, do you have any plans?"
"No."
Su Muyun shook his head and said, "My only hope is that Qin Yi will really send out his troops. The Yihe Nation's army will leave Sword Pavilion and attack the demons' rear. This way, no matter how strong the demons are, they will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"Yes, grandfather is right." Qin Yin nodded and said, "I also hope so, but this hope is too slim. How could Qin Yi, that old fox, let his trump card troops participate in this unnecessary war?"
At the side, Xiang Yu cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. This subordinate will definitely defend the position well. No matter how strong the demons are, we will not give in an inch!"
"Marquis Pingnan has worked hard!"
Situ Sen could not help but laugh and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that Xiang Yu's title is Marquis Pingnan and not Marquis Andong. Otherwise, we might really be able to win this war."
Lin Muyu glared at him, indicating that he should not speak carelessly.
…
After the afternoon meeting was dismissed, Lin Muyu returned to her camp. Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and Fengxi followed her in.
"Lord Commander." Wei Chou cupped his fists and said: "According to my observations, the Demon Clan's camp has already accumulated a large number of trees. These trees are dozens of meters long, and should be used to fill the pit dug by Xiang Yu. The supplies are already sufficient, and the Demon Clan's large scale attack will only take a day or two. We should make arrangements early."
"This is the reason why I called you all over."
Lin Muyu spread out the map on the table and said, "The terrain outside of Cang Lin Valley is very rugged and not conducive to retreat. I think … Wei Chou, you have brought people to investigate. Does this terrain have a name?"
"There is no name. This valley is mostly made up of rocks and there is little soil. It is impossible to grow crops, so the locals do not come here at all. At most, it is a few hunters who come here to hunt. Why, has the commander taken a fancy to this land? "
"Yes."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, "There are two ways to retreat from Cang Lin Valley. One is the main road, going straight to the unicorn forest, and the other is this unknown valley. Wei Chou, you make the arrangements. You must set up our one hundred magic crystal cannons on both sides of this valley within three days."
"Yes!"
On the other hand, Situ Xue, who was standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt, "Commander, this valley is at least twenty kilometers away from the Canglin Valley. If we set up the Magic Crystal Cannons here … may I ask what use they have?"
Situ Sen took a deep breath and said, "Commander, do you think … Xiang Yu, Su Long, Luo Xin, and the others will be defeated?"
"I don't know." Lin Muyu shook her head, "But the task of the Longdan Army Camp this time is to bring up the rear. I must be fully prepared. Set up all our magic crystal cannons here. Once the imperial army is defeated, someone must be here to stop the iron hooves of the Armor Demon Legion."
"Yes."
Wei Chou's eyes were burning like flames. He said with a smile, "I believe in commander on the strategic matters."
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Wei Chou, come closer. There is one more thing I want to tell you in secret."
"Yes, Madam!"
Wei Chou moved forward, and after Lin Muyu whispered a few words in his ear, Wei Chou's face suddenly became livid, and then filled with excitement and joy. He cupped his fist and said, "Don't worry, Madam. This subordinate will definitely do a good job!"
"Alright."
Lin Muyu said with a smile, "Wei Chou, go secretly deploy the magic crystal cannons. General Xue, go prepare the cavalry regiment of the Longdan Army Camp. Situ Sen, Fengxi, you two control the fifty thousand elites of the Longdan Army Camp. Set up the camp here, and wait for the demons to attack."
"Pa!"
The knuckles of her index finger heavily tapped on the map on the table.
