This so-called Immortal City defense war, regardless of victory or defeat, the greatest losses will be on the side of the Twelve Immortal Cities.
However, there is no way around it, the Twelve Immortal Cities are the defense line against the alien demons. If they do not fight, the alien demons will drive straight in, and the first to bear the brunt will be the sects of neutral countries.
This will have a great impact on morale. After all, those at the forefront are these forces and the Twelve Immortal Cities.
"Alright, this matter has been decided. Our Council of Elders has decided to take five immortal cities, including the current Baichuan City: Qinglei City, Huangsha City, and Chiyan City to the north of Baichuan City (excluding Tianmu City), and Honghai City on the southernmost coast. We will use these five immortal cities for the battle.
The northernmost Nightglow City, although not included in this battle for the time being, must be ready to reinforce at any time, and some cultivators must also be stationed there. Moreover, regardless of whether there is a conspiracy, Tianmu City, this main city, must not be lost.
Now let's discuss the specific tactics, whether to attack or defend." Elder Lu of the Council of Elders stood up, raised his hand, and a ray of light struck the map scroll above.
With a rustling sound, the scroll unfolded directly. Depicted on it was the complete topography of the Lianyun Mountain Range.
There were twelve light spots constantly flashing on the map, representing the locations of the Twelve Immortal Cities.
Elder Lu pointed again with one hand, and five of the light spots turned blood red. Tianmu City and the northernmost Nightglow City turned light yellow.
"Our Council of Elders agreed to this battle not only because we had to, but also because we had made thorough considerations. The Twelve Immortal Cities were originally built by ancient cultivators to resist alien demons. Although five cities have been breached, we still have seven cities left, including the main city of Tianmu, so the situation is advantageous.
Moreover, we have been managing these immortal cities for many years, and naturally we have some backup plans. Therefore, it is best for us to attack instead of defend. As long as you all work together and capture more of the occupied five immortal cities, each time you capture a city, as long as you bury these spare array disks in the spiritual veins of each immortal city, you can form a core array eye again, connecting the entire Lianyun Grand Array.
When the Lianyun Grand Array is activated, the protection of our immortal cities will be greatly increased."
As Elder Lu spoke, the other Nascent Soul elders of the Council of Elders also took out a dozen array disks of various colors and several stacks of array flags and placed them on the square table.
The eyes of everyone present were immediately attracted to these array disks and array flags.
Zhang Ling was no exception. Although he was not proficient in formations, he had studied them for a period of time. With a sweep of his divine sense, he observed that these array disks and array flags were engraved with mysterious runes, each of which was obscure and difficult to understand.
They were definitely not ordinary array instruments.
After hearing Elder Lu's words, the Nascent Soul old monsters present generally understood the main purpose of this meeting.
The goal of the next battle is to recapture the immortal cities occupied by the alien demons and bury these array disks.
……
The entire Lianyun Mountain Range is the most massive mountain range in the Northern Plains cultivation world. It runs across the north and south, covering a vast area. Landforms such as rivers, lakes, mountain valleys, deserts, and plains can all be seen.
The northernmost part borders the ice plains, and the southernmost part is adjacent to the sea.
Speaking of which, the Lianyun Mountain Range was not so vast originally. It was 30,000 years ago when ancient cultivators repelled the trans界 ancient demons and then fought a great battle with the alien demons.
Only then did they use great magical power to move several huge mountain ranges to this side, forming the current Lianyun Mountain Range. The Mountain Sea Immortal City was built in this entire mountain range.
Now, Yanhai City, Blackwind City, Moonlake City, Twin Tiger City, and Golden Cloud City, the five cities that were breached, are all located in the southern part of the Lianyun Mountain Range.
Speaking of which, these five cities are not ranked high among the Twelve Immortal Cities, and usually only three or four Nascent Soul old monsters are stationed there.
Of course, now that they have been occupied by the alien demons, the alien demons have also gathered hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators, and they also want to set up five immortal cities as a base for defense.
No matter what their intentions are, they will inevitably divide their forces. The reality and illusion of this, the deployment of strategy.
That is what they have to consider, the immortal city with more high-level cultivators stationed there will likely win in the defense war.
Now that the Immortal City Council of Elders has these spare array disks, they will have a slight advantage. However, it is not easy to break through the occupied immortal cities.
What everyone discussed next was how to divide the troops. Which cultivators would be stationed, and who would attack the city.
For a time, the old monsters present expressed their opinions, and it became noisy again.
None of the old monsters wanted to suffer losses. Although the Immortal City side had these plans, it could be predicted that whether defending or attacking, they would inevitably face cultivators of the same level, after all, there would be a certain risk.
Especially those responsible for attacking the city, the danger would be greatly increased.
If it weren't for the three late-stage Nascent Soul old monsters in the hall suppressing them, the Immortal City Council of Elders alone could not command this group of guys.
Fortunately, these Nascent Soul cultivators knew the current situation, and the Council of Elders also listened to some old monsters' suggestions at all times. Although the arrangement of personnel could not satisfy everyone.
But most were quite satisfied and accepted the dispatch of the Council of Elders. This allowed this pre-war meeting to continue.
There are naturally many conflicts of interest in this, which cannot be explained in a few words.
In this way, several hours passed.
Finally, these many cultivators and the reinforcements they brought were arranged properly.
During the discussion, Zhang Ling basically did not speak. He just sat upright in his seat, looking quite bored, and closed his eyes to rest for a short time, as if he didn't care at all.
There were some people like him.
Only when Senior Brother Tianfeng asked him for his opinion did he exchange a few words.
He didn't actually need to worry about these things. Senior Brother Tianfeng and Old Man Fire Spirit, these representatives of their Three Kingdoms Seven Sects' forces, were arguing with the Council of Elders.
In the end, after the Council of Elders promised some rewards, their several forces were assigned to the attacking side. The target was Yanhai City.
They had to recapture Yanhai City. In addition, the forces of the two countries near Tianxia City were also assigned to this attacking team.
Of course, this was not enough.
Because the current Yanhai City is not what it used to be. Its status is similar to that of the current Baichuan City. It is the base camp of the alien demons. It will inevitably station a large number of high-level cultivators.
Fortunately, the Council of Elders had already made arrangements. They also assigned several forces to this team. It is worth mentioning that the righteous Chixiao Sect also joined this mission to recapture Yanhai City.
As the largest force in the righteous path, the Chixiao Sect sent a total of six Nascent Soul old monsters to reinforce this time, including the late-stage Nascent Soul True Person Yufeng.
Zhang Ling heard that Little Feng Fairy also came this time, but did not enter the hall to discuss this conference.
In total, their team to recapture Yanhai City can be said to have the most and largest number of high-level cultivators.
Zhang Ling roughly calculated that there were as many as thirty Nascent Soul old monsters. It was the largest city-seizing team.
It can be seen that the Council of Elders attaches great importance to the current Yanhai City.
Speaking of which, there are as many as thirty or forty Nascent Soul old monsters from the righteous path who came to reinforce.
The demonic path is roughly the same. As for the Tianhai Immortal Alliance, the number is smaller, but there are also several old monsters who have been famous for a long time.
