30 days
The aura of 3.6 million elite soldiers was extremely terrifying. In just a few breaths of time, they had surrounded Soaring Yancheng City. The 100,000 soldiers and 500,000 civilians had nowhere to run.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened. When the last ray of light dissipated, the world became dim, and Soaring Goose City was shrouded in a terrifying bloody shadow.
Miserable cries, wails, and even roars rang out continuously, clearly echoing in the pitch-black night sky. It was enough to make one shudder. No one knew, and no one wanted to know, what kind of terrifying thing was happening in Soaring Swallow City at this very moment.
Soaring Goose Pass was located dozens of miles away from Soaring Goose City.
Soaring Goose Pass was surrounded by steep and rugged mountain ranges on both sides. In the middle was a valley that was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. The valley was 10 miles long, like the throat of a wild goose, so it was named Soaring Goose Pass.
As a strategic place at the border, after the beast tide broke out, Chu Xingyun pointed out the strategic significance of Soaring Goose Pass and ordered Mowang Gong and Wu Jing Xue to come here in advance to set up defensive fortifications.
Mowang Gong was the Sect Master of the Nature Work Sect, and he was proficient in the way of wooden armor. In the tens of thousands of years in the Nature Work Secret Realm, he was familiar with military classics and was especially familiar with military matters.
Wu Jing Xue, on the other hand, had been in the military for decades and was extremely experienced.
Under the joint arrangement of the two of them, not only were the Soaring Goose Pass filled with traps and spirit formations, there were even quite a few spirit puppets. It was like an enormous and lofty primordial beast was crawling in the desolate valley and guarding an important area.
In the depths of Soaring Goose Pass, on a high slope, there was an observation platform. At this moment, Wu Jing Xue was standing on the high platform. His eyes were fixed on Soaring Goose City in front of him, and his aura was extremely gloomy.
In his decades of military service, Wu Jing Xue had experienced no less than 1,000 battles, and many battles where he was outnumbered. However, today was the first time he had to face such a situation.
Soaring Goose City had fallen too quickly. It was so quick that the battle was already lost before he could even give the order. The hundred thousand soldiers and five hundred thousand civilians could not be moved. They became prisoners of the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Hall.
What was more helpless was that if Mowang Gong had not made an accurate judgment at the critical moment, perhaps the Jingtian Army would also have suffered and could not escape the encirclement of 3.6 million elite soldiers.
Such a situation was not unrelated to Wu Jing Xue's experience. He rarely came into contact with the six major forces, and knew even less about the Divine Wind Palace and the Daluo Golden Sect. He could not quickly and accurately judge the strength of the other party. However, Wu Jing Xue was full of regret and unwillingness. There was a fire burning in his heart.
Beside him, Lin Tianchong and Mowang Gong stood side by side. The two of them were also staring at Soaring Goose City not far away. Their expressions were somewhat grave, and they did not say a word. The atmosphere was deathly silent.
For Soaring Goose Pass, Soaring Goose City was like a sentry tower that could observe the movements of the Divine Wind Palace and the Daluo Golden Sect at all times. Now that Soaring Goose City had fallen, the other party was bound to attack Soaring Goose Pass next.
The three of them had personally felt the charge of 3.6 million elite soldiers. They also understood the determination of the Divine Wind Palace and the Daluo Golden Sect. This could be seen from the number of experts and the ambush that the other party had set up.
Right now, Soaring Goose Pass was impregnable, but to completely stop 3.6 million elite soldiers was tantamount to a fool's dream.
"With Tiger Chu's speed, he should have already reached the Drifting Cloud Imperial City by now and reported the situation here clearly. It will not be long before the Star Protector and the Imperial Army arrive at Soaring Goose Pass to resist the other party's attack together." Mowang Gong said slowly. As he spoke, Wu Jing Xue and Lin Tianchong turned their heads. Their expressions were still grave.
The Star Protector and the Imperial Army were the elite troops of the Ancient Star Sect and the Wanjian Pavilion. After they arrived, they would undoubtedly be able to resist the other party's attack. Even so, this battle would still be extremely difficult.
The difference between 3.6 million and 360,000 was a full ten times. Moreover, the other party was skilled in defense and counterattack. Not to mention that they were outnumbered, even in a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult to break through the other party's defense and cause direct damage.
Seeing that Wu Jing Xue and Lin Tianchong were silent, Mowang Gong also sighed. He slowly moved his gaze away. Just as he was about to look at Soaring Goose City, a demonic black and purple brilliance bloomed in the night sky in front of him without warning. It seemed to forcibly tear the space apart, and a mysterious Space Passage appeared directly.
Whoosh!
A huge purple-black figure swept out from the Space Passage, but after a moment, it disappeared again. What entered their eyes was a black-clothed youth descending from the sky and finally standing in front of the three of them.
This black-clothed youth was naturally Chu Xingyun.
He glanced at the three people in front of him, then moved his gaze towards Soaring Goose City. His eyes flashed as he said, "What's the exact situation?"
Mowang Gong's eyes narrowed. After a moment of silence, he described the situation that had just occurred in detail. Wu Jing Xue and Lin Tianchong supplemented from the side, afraid that they would miss something.
Chu Xingyun listened carefully, but his expression did not change at all. It was as if he had already expected the situation that he was facing at this moment.
"The other party has already taken over Soaring Goose City. Their next step is to attack Soaring Goose Pass. As long as Soaring Goose Pass is breached, the thirty-six provinces will be exposed to them, and we will no longer have the power to resist." Chu Xingyun slowly said after Mowang Gong finished speaking. He stood up and looked straight at the three people in front of him.
"Before I set off, I already had the Star Subduing Guard and the imperial army rush over at full speed. They should be able to reach Soaring Goose Pass by the time the sun rises tomorrow. As long as we rely on the steep mountains here and set up fortifications, it won't be difficult to stop the other party's attack."
With that, Chu Xingyun flipped his hand and took out three scrolls. He handed them to the three of them and said sternly, "Of these three scrolls, one records many defensive spiritual formations, while the other two record the cultivation methods and martial arts of the Divine Sky Hall and the Daluo Golden Sect."
"The former will be handed over to Senior Mo so that you can set up more spiritual formations in Soaring Goose Pass.
The latter will be studied by the two of you. From there, you will grasp the enemy's attack methods and come up with various plans. "
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the three of them carefully looked at the scrolls. Their expressions could not help but stiffen.
These three scrolls were very detailed. They clearly recorded hundreds of profound spiritual formations and hundreds of cultivation methods and martial arts. On them, there was even Chu Xingyun's understanding and analysis. It was very detailed and profound.
In his previous life, Chu Xingyun had come into contact with the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Sky Hall many times. He was naturally not unfamiliar with the cultivation methods and martial arts of the two sects. This was why he could easily see through all of Gu Tianjiao's methods in the Ancient Star Secret Dimension.
As for these defensive spiritual formations, they came from Chu Xingyun's thousand years of accumulation. They were all mysterious formations that were set up by Mowang Gong. They were definitely tyrannical and could make Soaring Goose Pass even more stable.
"As the ancient saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Three hundred and sixty thousand soldiers and these three scrolls can indeed further block the enemy's attack, but …" Mowang Gong was the first to recover from his shock, but his expression was still somewhat ugly.
However, before he could finish his words, Chu Xingyun interrupted him. "However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. With just these, we still can't win this battle. Am I right?"
"That's right." Mowang Gong sighed deeply. Whether it was the defensive spiritual formations or the martial arts of the two sects, if one looked at the root, they could only block the enemy, but not defeat them.
Lin Tianchong and Wu Jing Xue also understood this point. They tightened the scrolls in their hands. When they looked up, they saw Chu Xingyun's deep eyes flickering with a strange light. He opened his mouth and said, "Thirty days. I only need you to defend Soaring Goose Pass for thirty days."
